"Did I turn into Firefly?"
After hearing the system's words, Firefly began to observe her own body.
She wore a black short jacket on her upper body, and on her chest, which was about the same size as Cipher's, there was a metal ornament that looked like a butterfly with open wings. From both sides of the butterfly's wings, two green scarves extended, adorned with patterns made of white rhombuses.
A gradient green skirt hung from her waist, its hem embroidered with golden rhombus patterns, with two orange gems embedded in the center, like stars fallen into a lake, faintly glowing with a warm light.
"Indeed, this is Firefly's attire."
"So that means I now have two bodies now?"
Firefly thought for a moment and found the key point.
Then, with a thought, Cipher's perspective appeared in her mind, but it was like seing a small window on a screen.
Firefly then lowered her head and spun around in place, while Cipher squinted and stretched.
"How magical. I really feel like living with two bodies at once, but there's not the slightest bit of discomfort..."
"It's like... having a hive mind?, several piece of brain, while sharing memories and thoughts, don't really interfere with each other and arguing who the real one."
After experiencing this strange feeling, Firefly raised her head again and began to observe the surroundings.
"So many trees. Where is this? Am I still in the Pit Bottom District?"
Firefly was a bit confused at this moment because, given the conditions of the Pit Bottom District, it was basically impossible for so many trees to appear.
If this wasn't the Pit Bottom District, then where was she now?
"Never mind, why don't I just fly up and take a look?"
She looked around, finding no one. Firefly sighed, then the Sam's transformation device materialized in her right hand.
Then, She closed her eyes and slowly raised the hand holding the transformation device to shoulder height. Immediately after, she thrust her right hand out, then opened her eyes. Accompanied by a dazzling flash of fire, silver-white armor covered her body.
In just an instant, the originally beautiful and cute girl transformed into a tall humanoid mech.
Well... although she could feel that she didn't need to make these movements to transform, she just inexplicably felt it was a bit cool, and since there was no one around, she did it anyway.
"What a strange feeling."
Extending her arm, looking at her metal-covered arm and the powerful energy continuously flowing from within, Firefly felt incredibly novel.
This power was incredibly strong; she could guarantee that if she had faced Feng's in this form, one punch would have been enough to shatter the 'hard' turtle shell she had encountered before.
"If I'm already that strong in my normal form, what would happen if I activated Complete Combustion state?"
Thinking of this, Firefly was somewhat eager to try.
But after looking at the surrounding forest, she quickly dismissed the idea.
Influenced by her previous life's values, she thought it was best not to set the forest on fire.
"Let's first see where I am now. If I'm on the same planet as Cipher, then let me see if I can go find myself."
After speaking, she lightly pushed off with her legs. In just an instant, Firefly leaped directly over the forest and into the air.
Although it was already nearing night and the sky was dark, this did not hinder her observation.
"Hmm... a very large forest, but... there's a city not far away."
Soon, Firefly discovered a place that resembled a city wall about ten kilometers away. Inside the city wall, she could see many tall buildings standing.
As for the city wall itself, there were many weapons that looked like cannons.
However, unlike modern cannons, these cannons were all made of unknown silver-white metal, and their muzzles were very small. Firefly could see energy gathering inside them.
"Energy-type weapons? Are they laser cannons or electromagnetic cannons?"
Due to the distance, Firefly couldn't tell what kind of energy was gathering inside.
"Never mind, I'll go take a look first."
After saying that, and confirming the exact direction, Firefly landed on the ground and began to rush towards it.
As for why she didn't fly over, it was mainly because flying would be too conspicuous. To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, she felt it was better to use the ground; after all, the running speed and flying speed weren't actually that different...
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
However, just as Firefly was halfway through her journey, a series of explosions suddenly came from not far away, making her stop.
"What's that sound?"
Hearing the sudden noise, Firefly looked in the direction of the explosions with some confusion.
Why were there continuous explosions? Had something happened over there?
Maybe she should go take a look. If there are people there, it would be convenient to ask where this place is.
Thinking this, Firefly changed direction and rushed towards where the explosions were coming from...
"Lin, we have to go now! This Mutated Beast in front of us is not something we can deal with right now; its strength is at least A-rank!"
At this moment, a girl holding a very futuristic-looking weapon, similar to a sniper rifle, shouted loudly at another girl holding a knife not far in front of her.
The girl named Lin was standing in front of a Mutated Beast that looked like a Giant Spider. She raised her head, looking at the Black Robed Man standing on the Mutated Beast, a look of unwillingness on her face.
She was so close... Damn Beast Cult, the intelligence clearly said their highest rank was only B-rank. Where did this A-rank one come from?!
"Let's retreat, Yui please help block the Mutated Beast's movements first!"
Although unwilling, Lin knew her limits. Together, they could at most defeat a B+ rank Mutated Beast. This situation far exceeded their expectations. If they didn't retreat, there would be no other outcome than being killed by the Mutated Beast here.
After hearing Lin's words, Yui smiled, then she threw her sniper rifle aside, and the firearm dissipated into blue-purple particles in the air.
"Okay, I was just waiting for you to say that!"
After speaking, blue-purple particles began to gather again. In just a brief moment, a quad-barrel rocket launcher with four cannon holes appeared on Yui's shoulder.
"Evil Beast Cult, taste my electromagnetic rockets!"
After saying that, four rockets, trailing a large amount of blue-purple electric arcs, shot towards the Giant Spider in front of them.
