The sun is high - #452 - Chapter 451 Good luck to you
As the video progressed, Xiuge’s expression also changed bit by bit.
Now, he couldn’t describe his current mood at all.
Shuge felt confused, uneasy, and even a little afraid.
Compared with the things he experienced in Van En, the facts revealed by these traces and evidence in front of him are even more terrifying and bizarre.
Xiuge had to pause the video. He leaned on the huge operating table and turned to look at the two corpses holding a kiss. He knew that the man among the two corpses was the one who gave him “Engineer Wang” who left the video behind, and hugging him was his lover, the main person in charge of the “continuation beacon” in front of him.
If possible, Shuge really wanted to wake up these dead one by one and ask them questions.
However, this is impossible. Even if there are many magic and rituals related to souls and memories stored in Xiuge’s memory, these dead people have become actual empty shells. After experiencing the incredible collective death and the long period of time, After waiting, the traces of their souls have completely dissipated. Even if the creatures of the Dark Abyss Palace invade this place, there is still no way to get any information from these bodies.
Xiuge stared at the corpse, constantly reviewing every message in the image in his mind.
If what the other party said was true, then Xiuge now had to face an extremely weird and terrifying fact.
This so-called Dark Abyss, this place that is now filled with gloomy colors of destruction, where all kinds of weird and twisted things are rampant, and which brings fear and despair to other worlds, is the hometown he longs for.
A world that was once extremely prosperous and hosted diverse cultures.
“…”
In silence, Xiuge continued to comb through the many information provided by “Engineer Wang”. He wanted to find some flaws in it, or find some unreasonable places to support himself in overturning such a cold reality. .
However, after studying those words over and over again several times, Shuge stopped this actually meaningless attempt.
Shuge realized that the other party had no motive at all, and there was no need to deceive a visitor who would probably never come.
As the “Engineer” said himself, all the resisters in this facility are destined to end their lives here, and what they are going to perform in the end is also a task that has a high probability of having no results at all.
Under this premise, deception itself has lost its meaning. It is precisely because of this that the image left by this “Engineer Wang” is actually more like a strange suicide note.
This suicide note not only belongs to himself, but also to the last group of workers in this facility.
This was the last glimmer of light before the fire was extinguished.
“If everything is true, then the ‘Black Sun’ that once seriously threatened Van En and other worlds, as well as the Dark Abyss Palace that has been launching the ‘Great Hunt’ for a long time, are actually projections of my hometown after the distortion. The shadow in the universe…”
With his tenacious mental state, Xiuge controlled his racing thoughts and wavering emotions in time. He returned to calmness and rationality, and began to continue making deductions based on the current intelligence.
“Theseus has compared the Lord of the Ocean Charron with the ‘Black Sun’ more than once, and the path chosen by the Lord of the Ocean is to assimilate and integrate the creatures in the entire world, as well as the world itself. …”
“According to this engineer’s statement, the creations ‘locked’ underground by the crystalline veins have actually existed for a long time. If mining had not destroyed this crystalline cage, they might still be imprisoned.”
Xiuge re-watched the previous video, and after confirming the other party’s words, he also made a vague judgment in his heart: “Although there is no way to confirm whether the so-called ‘Dark Abyss Palace’ existed before these creations were released, but Judging from what is known so far, after they devoured a sufficient number of victims, they were also affected by the messages in these souls.”
“Although it is difficult to analyze exactly what the so-called ‘ideology’ generated by this group of twisted things will look like, judging from the series of actions they finally took, they should be committed to bringing the entire planet under their control. scope, eliminate all life forms in the past, and eliminate hidden dangers as much as possible… After that, the world itself became a part that can be sensed and manipulated under the complex will of the “Dark Abyss Palace”. At this point, the so-called “Black Celestial Body” ’ And so it was born.”
Thinking of this, Xiuge’s body trembled slightly.
Because at this moment, he, like the “fellow countryman” who left the image, also had a strong sense of fear, because Xiuge really couldn’t imagine what kind of existence could be in a world, or a world. Such a huge cage was created inside the planet and a group of extremely dangerous beings were imprisoned in it?
And, will my hometown be an exception?
Will the same situation occur in other worlds?
For example, Van En?
As a result, the thoughts that had been soothed began to fluctuate again, because immediately after, Xiuge thought of the so-called “game world view setting” that he originally created.
Now, everything happening in front of Xiuge is reminding him repeatedly that the creative origin of his inspirations and the words born from them may not lie in his own brain at all, but from some indescribable things. Messaging and hinting.
Who is the one?
Theseus?
Or is it something else?
However, there was still no movement from the faceless god. Even if Xiuge had already called Theseus by name in his mind, he did not react at all. Without a definite answer for a while, Xiuge could only His attention shifted back to his front.
The video continues to play.
“When the ‘continuation beacon’ procedure begins to officially operate, powerful fluctuations will sweep through the area around the facility and exert a large amount of impact on the entire area that is difficult to estimate… Under normal circumstances, of course we should evacuate, But now we have nowhere to go, so the operation of the program means that everyone here will fall into the arms of death.”
“It sounds cruel, but this can be considered a blessing. At least we won’t be torn into pieces by those shadows and slowly swallowed up like other compatriots.”
When talking about “death”, the man in the video behaved quite optimistically. Of course, the fatigue and helplessness that appeared on his face from time to time could not be concealed.
The same situation can also be seen in other workers.
Although in the video, all the work was still progressing correctly, Shuge could also see many people who were on the verge of emotional collapse, or had simply collapsed. Obviously, not everyone could accept such an ending.
“Start debugging immediately… You can take a look together, but I think when you come here, the scene you see will be even more spectacular.”
In Engineer Wang’s words, the base of the “Continuation Beacon” has entered the debugging state. As the rigorous procedures are advanced step by step, the lights in the hall gradually dim, and the readings on the base screen continue to increase. , a faint yellow light flashed through the reserved beam channel, and then green pass signs popped up on the recording screens on the operating table.
Judging from the results, the program worked very well.
“Testing complete, everything is ready.”
Engineer Wang said lightly.
In Xiuge’s memory, this kind of scene should always have someone cheering or applauding, but this time, people in the hall were just silent. Only a few scholars gave their companions a hug, and then started in full swing. Base reset work.
“Well, if nothing else goes wrong, all the work here will be over soon. It just so happens that I will take this opportunity to say a few more words…”
The screen shook twice, but the engineer pulled up a chair and sat down at an inconspicuous edge position. While looking at his lover who was still busy from a distance, he asked in a low voice: “Leave a message.” I used to resist this kind of thing because I thought it was meaningless… But it’s different now. We can all feel the infinite potential contained in those powers. It’s a pity that we haven’t been able to accept it from a deeper level. They can only combine these forces with our inherent technical system.”
“Tsk tsk… What a pity. What would it be like if such power could be controlled by the human body? That’s probably what the ‘supernatural’ images in those literary and entertainment works are like, right?”
The camera turned to the engineer’s big face. He stared at the camera and asked with a smile: “I wonder if you…are within this category?”
“However, even if you are here… there should be many, many more troubles to deal with next. After all, it is not that difficult to combine different fields.”
“Speaking of which, I’m curious about your world. God knows what kind of civilization can evolve under different environments and foundations? I hope you won’t be like us, who can only struggle in war, destruction, and interest disputes. Climbing upwards is really painful and unnecessary. In many cases, we may even suspect that we are trapped in a huge cycle. As long as there is no way to break the cycle, there is no real liberation and development.”
“Okay, I’m telling you what this is for, but you may not understand it, and those things may not be useful in your world…”
At this time, Engineer Wang must have indeed entered a state of relaxation. He was talking slowly and nonsensically to the camera, as if he was chatting into the air.
“Oh, by the way, after the ‘continuation beacon’ is officially launched, all of our passes should be automatically locked by the system. But, if you are interested in other things, or want to know more about it, Regarding the continuation of the beacon, you might as well go to the corner of the hall where there is a painting. In an empty cargo box, I placed a specially processed pass, which should be able to help you open the locked archive room. “
“Good luck to you, late comer.”
…
“waiting for your good news!”
In a ward, a slightly hoarse voice sounded, and then an envelope was handed into the hands of a young Sword of Dawn member. The somewhat pale middle-aged man nodded to the young man: “Don’t forget to get some.” There is a new secret ritual. There have been many attackers sneaking into the plains recently, so be more careful.”
“Yes sir, I hope you can recover quickly!”
“Don’t worry, I’m almost healed.”
The young man nodded respectfully towards the “middle-aged man” who was half leaning on the bed: “Then I’m going!”
“Good luck!”
So the young man quickly left the ward. He gently closed the door, and then disappeared at the other end of the corridor with light steps.
“Ahem!”
The middle-aged man coughed twice and then got up from the hospital bed. He picked up a coat and put it on. He came to the desk with a slightly deformed metal cane and sat down. The documents here were already piled up. , urgent need to deal with.
However, before he could open the first document, the door was pushed open again.
Sally walked in, her clothes streamlined for ease of movement, looking like a female scout running on the front lines.
“Mr. Felix, are you awake? I thought you were going to sleep for a while.”
Sally looked at the middle-aged man sitting at the desk in surprise, then she walked forward and put the file on Felix’s desk: “If you insist on doing work, you might as well take a look first They, the teacher are worried about this matter, it would be best if you could give some advice.”
“Miss Sally, you are being too polite.”
“I’m sorry, sir… you are now a middle-aged man, and you should be respected by young people.”
Sally smiled, she skillfully picked up the water glass on the side, turned around and helped Felix, who was already much older, make a cup of hot tea: “Here, the same recipe as the teacher, with half a spoonful of St. Steele added.” Pulp.”
“OK, thanks.”
Felix picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The slight sweetness coming out of the tea made him frown. He still couldn’t quite understand Meyer’s taste preference. However, the information in the document made him laugh. Felix quickly got into working mode. He frowned and scanned the words with his sharp eyes. Then he shook the paper and asked: “You mean, there is a traitor among us? This is Professor Judgment? Where is the source of the news?”
“The report came from a Watch City resident. We have protected her. The teacher believes that this matter is likely to be related to the attack on our headquarters some time ago.”
Felix nodded. He thought seriously for a while, then drank all the tea in the cup and stood up holding his cane: “Let’s go, let’s set off now… I want to see the reporter first.” people!”
