"Where am I?"
"Aren't I working overtime to debug the newly purchased VR holographic equipment?"
He seemed... To be a sword?
A sword? !
Rusty smell? It is particularly rich, as if it comes from itself.
...
Sword Tomb? Saint? A natal contract?
Lin Xuan was stunned. The combination of these words pointed to a world he had only seen in novels and games - the world of immortality!
...
"Your Highness the Saint... Chose a rusty sword?"
"Is there a mistake? The light of the contract has become brighter!"
"I can't sense any sword intent. This is just ordinary iron. No, it's not even fine iron. It's scrap iron!"
"It's a life contract! Once it's concluded, the sword stays with the person, but the sword destroys and injures the person! Why... Why did the saint choose such a sword?"
...
"Have you heard? Saintess Yun has not shown her face since she contracted that rusty sword. She is afraid that her Taoist heart will be damaged and she will be unable to recover!"
"Hey, it's so satisfying to see a genius fall from the altar! She's so proud as usual!"

The clear, stable, and emotionless mechanical synthesized sound, like the sound of nature, sounded again deep in Lin Xuan's consciousness!
This time, it is no longer intermittent, but stable!
In the desperate situation, the mysterious mechanical sound finally sounded again!
Hope, rekindled!
