Chapter 665: historical memory

After Hao Ren's words fell, everyone immediately looked at him with crazy eyes. Nangong Sanba was stunned: "Are you crazy?"

"I'm not kidding," Hao Ren stood in front of the holographic projection, watching the siren spirit named "Eva" roar silently in space, "She was the only witness to the disaster ten thousand years ago, only She can tell us who attacked Io. Now we have lost the samples of the battleship at hand, and the only clue left is this..." Speaking of this, he paused, and pointed to space: "I always thought this The world-ending disasters in the universe are all caused by the eldest son, but now there is an exception here, we must find a way to investigate what is going on - and the brain monster has tried to open a gap leading to the surface world from here, Ai There must be something special about O, and I can't leave it alone."

Vivian frowned and looked into Hao Ren's eyes: "I know the importance of these things, but you think you can talk to Eva? This..."

She turned her head and glanced at the scene on the holographic projection: "This 'god' seems unable to communicate. She is just a resentful spirit now, and she has no reason at all. And take a step back, even if she is rational, how are you going to talk to such a person?" …the 'creature' talking? Her face is the width of a whole planet! Are you standing in the middle of the sea and talking to her?"

"When the ice just started to freeze down there, I briefly felt a lot of information pouring into my head," Hao Ren tapped his forehead, "I thought it would take less than a second... But I'm sure That's a memory related to the siren. So I think I can establish a connection similar to the brain monster between me and Eva. Anyway, let me try it, and if it doesn't work, let's run away again. "

Lily and Vivienne looked at each other, and couldn't help muttering: "Landlord, you really deserve to be Doudou's father. This death spirit is at the same level. Then how are you going to connect? Then jump down and soak in the water? What if it is really frozen this time?"

Hao Ren took a few breaths and nodded vigorously: "Just jump down, but I need the help of a few sea monsters to help me control the water flow in a certain area. And now there is no interference below, if the communication fails, I can directly teleport up. At least they won't be foolishly waiting to be frozen."

The data terminal vibrated twice, reluctantly choked out a sentence: "This machine calculates. You do have a certain success rate, but this machine still wants to say that you are not in compliance with safety regulations!"

Hao Ren patted the console: "Don't be funny. The first item in the safety regulations section of the work manual is that it's never fucking safe to do this job. If you really want to help, just keep firing in space. All permissions are given to you, and you try your best to attract the attention of this sea monster spirit, so that I will be safer when I work below."

The data terminal was silent for a while, and made an OK cartoon-style gesture on the holographic projection: "Okay—you still have fifty-five minutes."

Hao Ren immediately turned around and waved to Shakira and the other three sea monsters: "Katrina, Shakira, Soma. I want to negotiate with your 'gods', would you like to help?"

"A rare opportunity," the Siren Queen stepped forward without hesitation, "to get close to 'Eva', there is nothing better than this."

Nangong Wuyue also followed her: "I'll go help too. I'm still a sea monster anyway, so I must be worthy of my bloodline."

Hao Ren nodded, then turned to look at the others: "You guys just stay on the spaceship, and I'll come back as soon as I go. It's not dangerous."

The Giant Turtle Rock quickly shuttled between the arms protruding into space, and after accurately calculating a series of trajectories, it successfully circled to a perigee suitable for projection, and then a white light hit the surface of the planet.

The white light dissipated. Hao Ren and the sea monsters are already standing on the sea of Io.

Surrounded by turbulent waves, endless and strangely shaped waves surged around him one after another. Form countless spectacular wonders. The dense clouds in the sky have dissipated, and Eva's activities tore apart the high-altitude clouds of this planet, disrupting its original atmospheric operation, and instead led to a weird "clear sky", with the sun shining strangely on the sea in a squall. , but at the same time the storm is still continuing—this is the current status quo of the planet Io, the natural order has been completely out of balance, and a violent soul is releasing its power wantonly.

Nangong Wuyue looked at the surrounding scene in horror. She saw a majestic mountain of water rising high in the distance. And in the farther place, there is a huge water column like a pillar reaching into the sky, protruding into space. She tried her best to look away from those terrifying things, and instead concentrated on controlling the water under everyone's feet with the other three sea monsters. This is much more difficult than ever.

"It's alright," the Siren Queen shouted to Hao Ren, "Please hurry up, it's very laborious!"

Hao Ren nodded, gestured to Shaqila and Soma beside him, and then slowly immersed himself in the water.

Soothe the emotions, focus the mind, and relive that momentary state of connection. After connecting with the brain monster several times, Hao Ren has roughly figured out the necessary conditions for establishing a connection. Emotions such as nervousness and alertness are unnecessary. Only when the mood is relaxed and the mind is focused can the connection become tight.

He felt that his consciousness was slowly sinking into chaos, which was not the same as when he established a connection with the brain monster, but he still knew that the connection was successful.

This chaos is Eva's memory.

However, after the chaos ended, what he saw was not the scene when Io was destroyed. What he saw was a quiet and peaceful primitive seabed.

Hao Ren's spiritual body wandered in a deep sea in ancient times. He saw an endless plain of flat sand and gravel stretching out before him, and above him an endless dark abyss. Luminous primordial algae and deep-water fish live peacefully on this seabed, undisturbed by the world.

The sea monster was born in this peaceful and peaceful deep sea paradise. Originally, they were slow, slow, omnivorous creatures covered with scales, humanoid, and good at mimicry. They acquired a life form between elemental creatures and carbon-based creatures in the magical environment of this planet. They dig burrows in the sand and live on luminescent algae and tardipedia. The siren developed in such a primitive state, sprouted wisdom, and formed its own fragile and primitive but interesting ancient society.

Their earliest tools were the shells of leftover deep-water shellfish they ate, which they polished for digging silt and cutting seaweed. The tools behind this are coral and rock, and the occasional iron-rich meteorite remnant that has fallen from the upper layers. When metal meteorites in space fall into Io, they will be burned violently by the atmosphere, and then quickly cooled in sea water, thus becoming refined and strong. This is a forging miracle of nature. Every piece of metal meteorite that falls into the deep sea through this process is a treasure to the sea monsters. They call these meteorites "Heart of Black Water" in awe - because they think that the endless sky above them The dark sea water is the end of the world, and beyond that boundary is the darker and more chaotic endless water, and the solid iron-containing meteorite is the foundation of the world. Their earliest primitive religion revolved around water and these iron-bearing meteorites.

They worship deep water, submarine volcanoes, and iron meteorites. They once believed that the meteorites falling from "Skyrim" were a sign of the wear and tear of the world's shell, and they were uneasy about it, and even sent warriors to return these meteorites to the upper layer (they hoped to prolong the life of this world in this way), However, due to the inability to adapt to the low water pressure environment, every such expedition failed. They then realized that iron-containing meteorites were a blessing from "Shangshui", so the earliest iron meteorite age of the Kraken began—60,000 years have passed since the birth of the first Siren who used shells to dig sand.

It will be many years later that the Krakens learn to obtain metals through other means to replace the corroded ironware.

Hao Ren's consciousness kept jumping in Eva's memory, he couldn't escape, and he didn't intend to escape. He finally knew what Eva wanted to do.

She's showing the history of the siren race.

Hao Ren let go of his heart and dived deeper into this ancient memory.

(I'm going back to Tangshan in a few days. I'm busy with packing and meeting relatives and classmates. The update time is unstable. In addition, I fixed a small error in this chapter: Lily was not included in Io, and that husky was in my head Jumping up and down is too eye-catching, I accidentally included her in the team.) (To be continued~^~)
