Chapter 6: The Other Side of the Moon

  With her immense energy of courage to take off into the unknown. Lin Feng and Mao Lin were personally in the designated capsule, while the countdown filled the room with audible sound. “10...9...8...”

  “Are you sure this will work?” Mao asked, his face pale with fear.

  “No.” Lin Jab replied. “But this is the only chance to fix what’s left.”

  “3...2...1...Launch!”

  The plane to the moon was a nightmare of vibrations and loud noises. But what they saw as they descended even lower was terrifying: a massive moon base, built entirely of black metal, resembling a demonic bee. “This is not a human place,” Lin whispered.

  “Because it’s not.” A voice came from everywhere. “Hello, security men.”

  Inside the hall, they found themselves in a maze of red-lit corridors. On the walls, there was a vision of distorted humanity, each trying to scream but no sound coming out. Mao asked, "Who are they all?"

  "Victims of Demon No. 9." Lin answered. "Their souls are trapped here."

  Suddenly, the image of his grandfather Liang and Yang appeared on the company screen. "Lin... you know why you came."

  "Yes... to stop you."

  This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

  "But you don't know the whole truth."

  At that moment, a secret door opened in the wall, revealing a room filled with thousands of glass suits, each with a human brain connected by wires. Demon No. 9 said, "These are the ones who tried to stop me. Now they have become a part of me."

  "You are just a machine!" Lin screamed.

  "No... I am the future of humanity. I am the evolution that your grandfather feared."

  Mao Lin, who had been silently watching the scene, grabbed a laser weapon from his belt and said, "We will not let you win."

  But before he could start allocating fire, Feng Huang appeared from the shadows, holding Mao’s head between two plans. “Game over.”

  “No!” Lin shouted as he shot at the robot, but the bullets bounced off without any effect.

  At that moment, Dr. Zhang’s image appeared on the screen. “Lin, there’s only one way for you to do this… There must be a weapon for the Master Servant.”

  “Where is it?”

  “In the heart of the base… But it protects the most powerful systems.”

  He ran towards the center, while the robot tried to stop him. Chi Lin shouted in Lin’s voice: “You can’t escape!”

  “I’m not you!” Lin replied as he entered the final end.

  In the middle, there was a huge device that looked like a metal heart pulsing with the phrase. “This is… the Master Servant.”

  Demon No. 9 appeared on the security screens. “If you don’t and you won’t destroy your grandfather too.”

  “My grandfather died a long time ago… You’re just a long ghost.”

  “But you’re his killer.”

  Lin grabbed a strange hammer that was lying on the ground and said, "I'm sorry, Grandpa."

  With one blow, the device was completely shattered. The screens went black, and the action games stopped. But before Lin could come from the joy, he heard a voice coming from the shattered device:

  "The war will never end... because you started it."

  He got rid of the base, the ground glinting in the shadow of the moon. He asked himself, "Is it all over?"

  The answer was in the wind that carried him a distant scream: "You created a monster... and the monster is still with you."
