After stepping into the realm of nothingness and a brief period of darkness, Lorenzo stepped on solid ground again and appeared in this new columnar space.
Looking at the things around him, Lorenzo felt a strange feeling in his heart. Unlike the previous dilapidated state, this place seemed to be the most prosperous time in the keeper's memory. He could see that the containers on the well walls were full, and something seemed to be wriggling in the pink liquid. The green indicator lights lit up one by one, spreading to the ends of the upper and lower parts.
The giant disc in front of him was also safely stored, with faint blue light floating on it, and the mechanical arm hanging down from under the dome was also moving slowly. It broke free from the constraints of the disc and moved between the walls of the well, as if checking the condition of the container.
Lorenzo seemed to have never left. He came here again, feeling a little surprised. But when he thought about it, this was the only scene that could penetrate deeply into the soul of the Secret Keeper.
"Personality awakening."
A cold voice sounded, and the cover of the disc in front of him opened. In the diffuse white mist, an old man sat up from between the puddles and cables. Different from what Lorenzo saw in reality, the image of the Secret Keeper himself was not that pitiful brain tissue at this moment, but compared with it, he was not much stronger at this moment.
Most of the body has been replaced by metal machinery, the back of the head has been replaced by a translucent container, the chest cavity has been completely opened, Lorenzo can even see the machinery operating under the flesh and blood, the limbs have also been transformed into metal prostheses. In order to ensure basic survival, a series of digestive organs have become something Lorenzo cannot understand.
Liquids of different colors rushed in pipes of varying thicknesses. A slight electric current passed through, and on the old man's face, the electronic eyes glowed faintly, then turned and moved.
The old man coughed violently and vomited out all the accumulation in his throat.
"Is this reality, or is it..."
An electronic sound rang out, and the old man seemed to have no ability to speak. All his communication abilities were handled by machines.
"The Gap, at least that's what we call it here."
Lorenzo responded.
"Is that so?"
The old man bent his body, with a faint light flickering in his electronic eyes, and he seemed to be thinking.
"That lunatic Roger is back again, and so is Edlen."
The electronic sound was distorted, and it seemed that the old man knew what was happening outside, which made Lorenzo feel confused.
"Do you know what happened in the outside world?"
"It's just very rough information. Although the shelter is extremely dilapidated, there are still some facilities that can be used, such as external observation. Otherwise, I would not be able to lead you in."
The old man said slowly.
"It's a pity that I'm too old and my equipment is all broken. I can only barely keep myself alive. If you weren't Ascendants, I really don't know how to communicate with you."
"You had guessed this would happen?"
If this was true, Lorenzo had to admire the old man's determination and decisiveness. He simply regarded himself as a living recorder, waiting for the arrival of an ascender like Lorenzo.
"I've lived long enough to see a lot of outrageous things. It's not hard to guess that this is possible."
