Martina's performance made Lin Feng ponder.
After a moment of thought, he asked again, "What exactly did Optimus Prime say, and who is that person he mentioned?"
Martina covered her mouth, looking as if she would reveal nothing.
"I truly cannot tell you unless you first tell me why you are looking for Optimus Prime!"
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed again.
He understood. Martina's question about why he was looking for Optimus Prime wasn't just out of curiosity.
That reason was likely a security phrase set by Optimus Prime for Martina.
Could it be that Optimus Prime foresaw someone looking for him in the future?
Lin Feng subconsciously wondered if he was the person Optimus Prime mentioned.
But Lin Feng didn't recall Optimus Prime having precognitive abilities.
After analyzing for a long time with no results, Lin Feng decided to tell the truth.
Because he guessed that his purpose for seeking Optimus Prime might be the condition for Martina to verify his identity.
After another moment of contemplation, Lin Feng looked up, "The AllSpark, that's all I can tell you..."
There was no way Lin Feng could lie. If Optimus Prime's security phrase was indeed the AllSpark, then lying would be a case of being too clever for his own good.
"The AllSpark?"
As the words left his mouth, the Watcher's expression turned serious.
His gaze towards Lin Feng became scrutinizing.
It was not a problem for a human to seek Optimus Prime, but seeking the AllSpark was problematic!
"That's right!" Since he had decided to reveal it, Lin Feng openly admitted it.
"I am looking for Optimus Prime precisely for matters concerning the AllSpark."
"But I am not at liberty to disclose the specific details..."
If he revealed that he intended to take the AllSpark, it would undoubtedly lead to a battle today!
And the outcome would be Lin Feng's unilateral slaughter.
Wanting to borrow something and then beating someone up – Lin Feng didn't consider himself that kind of scumbag...
"Human, that is not something you can meddle with!"
A Transformer who was charging nearby couldn't contain himself.
What was the AllSpark? It was their core, the place they returned to after death.
Immediately, several other Transformers stepped forward, staring at Lin Feng with unfriendly expressions, giving the impression that they would attack at the slightest provocation.
Even though Lin Feng had brought a new energy source, if he intended to touch the AllSpark?
Then, I'm sorry, they were enemies!
The Watcher turned, gave a look, and with a single glare, sent those Transformers back.
They were old guys, yet still so impatient?
Lin Feng paid no mind to these unnamed Transformers and continued speaking with Martina.
"Is this answer correct?"
Martina didn't answer directly but probed, "Are you a human from another universe?"
Whoa!
Lin Feng smiled.
Martina's question completely confirmed the correctness of Lin Feng's answer.
This round, Lin Feng scored 100 points.
"That's right, I am from another universe!"
"Wow!"
Martina's eyes blazed with curious exploration.
She harbored no doubt about this outlandish statement.
Because the information Lin Feng had just provided perfectly matched what Optimus Prime had said earlier!
When Optimus Prime had first uttered this information, Martina had been somewhat disbelieving of the existence of other universes.
After all, she was so young then. But with age and experience, Martina's perspective had rapidly changed.
Aliens had appeared, and artificial intelligence was threatening to destroy humanity.
The existence of other universes seemed quite normal then.
"Now, can you tell me what Optimus Prime said at that time?"
Although Lin Feng didn't know how Optimus Prime foresaw the future, the code words had clearly matched.
Come on, girl, reveal your secrets to me!
"Of course!" Martina responded quickly, "Optimus Prime said that in the future, there would be a traveler from another universe."
"He would seek the AllSpark. When he appears, give this to him!"
As Martina spoke, she rummaged in her pocket and pulled out a circular metallic device, handing it to Lin Feng.
"Optimus Prime said that the message he left behind is inside this item."
"If you are truly from another universe, you should be able to open it!"
Handing over the device, Martina felt an inexplicable sense of relief, as if a heavy weight had been lifted.
Optimus Prime's request had been unfulfilled for several years.
Martina carried the metallic device with her every day for years, fearing she would miss the human Optimus Prime had spoken of.
The curiosity of the past had, with the accumulation of time, become a burdensome responsibility.
Now that she had handed off this burden, Martina felt lighter.
Lin Feng took the small metallic device.
Combining it with Martina's previous words, the well-traveled Lin Feng instantly deduced that it was likely a high-tech projection device.
However, upon examination, Lin Feng found no buttons or any other activation mechanism.
But before Lin Feng could figure out how to activate it,
the device itself activated in Lin Feng's hand.
A blue light emanated from around the device.
Several beams of light intertwined on the small disk, forming a virtual 3D projection.
A miniature Optimus Prime appeared within.
"Wow!" Martina exclaimed again.
She had fiddled with this device when she had nothing else to do but had never found a way to activate it.
Now, in Lin Feng's hands, it had started by itself?
"Optimus Prime..."
"Leader..."
Upon seeing this, the Transformers also gathered around, their expressions filled with remembrance.
Several years had passed since they had last seen him.
To the Transformers, Optimus Prime was more than just a leader; he was a spiritual pillar.
With Optimus Prime present, the Transformers could overcome any difficulty!
The Watcher's eyes widened even further.
Who would have thought that Optimus Prime had left this up his sleeve?
Optimus Prime had been missing for so long, and the Watcher was also eager to learn some information about him.
"Traveler from another dimension!"
The projection of Optimus Prime began to speak, his words tinged with a hint of melancholy.
He did not greet the other Transformers present, appearing to be just a recorded message.
"If you are seeing this image, then it means you have retrieved the small device..."
Lin Feng's expression immediately turned peculiar. Did Cybertron also practice verbose communication?
"I know your objective is the AllSpark. Please take Martina and travel to the planet Cybertron to find me!"
"Please keep this projection device. If I am no longer on Cybertron, it will guide you to find me..."
After delivering these few lines, the projected Optimus Prime vanished.
A very brief message.
In the end, Lin Feng still had to make a trip to Cybertron...
This was not a problem in itself.
However, why did he have to take Martina, a human, with him??
