Rickett: [Have you ever entered Cororin's room? Are there any books, or photographs, or symbolic memorials? ] Opal: [Go in, there is only a small robot about the size of E7... ]
Opal detailed the decorations of Cororin's room to Recht, who said: [The wheel of time?]
Opal said: [Cololin said it was a souvenir given to him by Nolan, teacher, don't you know this?]Rickett: [The Wheel of Time... Nolan came from the five-dimensional world, there is a possibility, next time you wait for him to come back, you try to test it, ask what Nolan said, and give me a Answer.]Opal: [What does this mean?]
Rickett: [I don't know, so, Nolan entered the wheel of time, it should be at some point I don't know. What else did you say?] Opal told him the process of Corollin's teaching him, Recter pondered, and then asked: [The Punes Chamber of Commerce has contacts with him, do you remember the name? ] Opal: [I... I forgot, I was too nervous at the time.]
Rickett: [Green Mercury also seems to want to move closer to him...]
Opal: [Yes, they sent a messenger named Binbin.]
Lecter: [Bingbin's family has been declining day by day, and it is natural to take refuge in him. ] Opal: [I see that there is an artificial star outside the grip of light rotation, teacher, with human ability, can you create a star? How to do? What is the use of making stars to him?]Rickett: [Opal, this is beyond my ability, I can't answer it for you, you can directly ask him all your questions. ] Opal: [I think he doesn't seem to care about me very much, he is not like you, it is difficult to get close. I'm afraid that I said the wrong thing, and he guessed that I was undercover... Although the second layer of memory was sealed by Ledgerson, what I was thinking in the inner memory world would always be revealed on the surface...] Rickett: [ so what? You don't want anything?]
Opal: [I… um, yes, I may have played stupid too much, maybe he thought I was a little stupid. But I didn't handle it well at first, and I didn't learn to act. What should I do now?]Rector: [You can gradually restore your usual performance, you don’t have to play stupid, your mind never deceives anyone, he reads your consciousness directly, so you don’t have any secrets for him, he will believe it unconditionally You, this is part of the Ledgerson plan. ] Opal: [Was he like this when he was your apprentice?]
Rector: [His character has always been like this, and you have been very successful in getting his approval, doing a good job. Ledgerson told me all his arrangements after you left.] Opal was shocked.
Recht didn't express any opinion on the replicant thing, just said: [Opal, you can be more active, you can't get his response because you are too passive. ] Opal said: [I don't know how to... face him, forgive me, teacher. ] Rickett said: [This is a long and arduous process, and we have to prepare for a long battle. Believe in your heart, you are the warrior of the star, and you have enough standing to judge him for all his crimes. ] Opal thought for a while, and then said: [Teacher, he said that he once had an idea to invite you to the grip of Rotation Light, and chat with you in the garden, talk about each other's beliefs, ideals, let you Look at the empire he founded. ] Rickett said: [I've seen enough, this is a ruin built on blood and bones.]Opal didn't speak, Rickett said again: [Stand on yourself, Opal, next time I need you to test him with a clear purpose. ] Opal said: [Okay, what do you need to test?]
Rector: [The first point is about the wheel of time, ask him as much as possible about everything Nolan mentioned. The second point is about Lie Xing, I need to confirm one of my guesses, his dream also seems to have the effect of conscious induction, I suspect that he has buried a spy in Lie Xing. The third point is about Nolan, and I want to know what Nolan told him in that meeting he had with Nolan.] Opal: [Have he met Nolan? Didn't Nolan die before he followed you?]Rickett: [My sense of consciousness can no longer be maintained... Opal, the fourth point, ask him why he made the No. 2 experimental base without telling me—that is, making his own replicators, testing the fourth You need to be especially careful when you click, you can easily reveal your true purpose... If the difficulty is too high, the fourth point can be postponed indefinitely, everything is up to your judgment...] Opal: [I need to pay attention to his military actions What? teacher.]
Rickett: […I don’t need it for the time being…Whether we win or lose, death cannot be reversed…The Knights of the Stars should not interfere in any faction’s war, and I don’t want you to be burdened with too much responsibility…Our only purpose is…]Rickett Te's sense of consciousness was disconnected.
Opal walked to the side and sat down, thinking about Rector's orders, and he finally knew.
But he had no consolation, not even a word of "opal, forget it". Perhaps in his inherent impression, Coroline has become a synonym for darkness, and the replicant... Rickett has never known about it.
What is the purpose of Coroline making so many replicants? Opal didn't dare to think about it from the first time he saw him, and only now can he analyze it seriously.
He wants to build an army of clones? Isn't he afraid of being deprived of power by clones
Opal carefully contrasts Raymond with Coroline, who lacks the most important ability of Coroline—the power of faith. If you bring the clone to the main body and let Cororin teach Raymond the power of faith, can Raymond learn it
Or does he want to live forever? Is it possible that Raymond, as a clone, can act as a new body when Cororin dies? So... Opal vaguely thought of a very important thing.
Raymond is a clone made by Cororin, and if Coroline wants to, he might be able to make another clone.
Coroline is the father of Raymond, that is to say, if Opal can learn this, it is completely feasible to make another Raymond. The new Raymond has no memory of them being together, and the moment he wakes up does not even Know who Raymond is, and don't love him either.
But Opal doesn't matter, as long as Raymond is returned to him, he is willing to take the new Raymond to experience everything they have experienced... No! Ask Ledgerson to take out their shared memories together and send it to Raymond.
…
Then Raymond came back to life.
Opal fell into a conjecture that drove him crazy, and he repeatedly told himself that it was true and feasible.
Can it be put into practice
Is this Raymond still Raymond? Opal can't tell, but a Raymond who can move, laugh, and talk to him is better than a robot in fantasy music anyway. Even if he doesn't love himself anymore, Opal will accompany him and be a comrade-in-arms together. He has no more extravagant hopes.
Rickett's orders had been thrown out of his mind, and Opal got up and walked to the palace. It was impossible for Corolin to keep the replica technology he knew. Since these technologies were withdrawn at the beginning, they might be stored in this building. in the palace.
Opal’s palms were covered in cold sweat. He didn’t know if Cororin was monitoring his every move. There were no small robots around. Cororin didn’t need to install a monitor when he lived here, and he was enough to monitor the entire palace.
Having said that, Opal still pretended to be indifferent, opened the doors of the palace one by one, and walked around pretending to be curious.
Could there be more than one clone in this palace... Opal was stunned by his own further speculation.
His footsteps hurried, walking across the icy ground, leaving a line of footprints covered in mud.
The little robot came to clean, Opal did not find any suspicious secret rooms, and the technology for replicating humanoid life forms is in the database
He didn't dare to search, otherwise Cororin would definitely find it.
So what about retrieving the history of Cororin
He walked to the library, sat on a chair, opened the information retrieval record, and found that the last time he used the database was one hundred and sixty-three days ago.
Exactly shortly after the arrival of Opal.
The search entry is: [The conditions and causes of love.]
The content is a bunch of complicated and confusing multi-party entries, some say it is hormonal influence, some say it is genetic influence, Opal noticed a definition of "congenital love impression", and Coroline made a bookmark on it.
[This effect is usually related to genes, hormones, psychological cues formed in childhood, and personality. In addition to congenital factors, a child will subconsciously construct an ideal model of a future lover. This model is commonly known as "dream lover" , does not directly act on the concept of mate selection, but when the two sides encounter each other, it quickly awakens the desire in the subconscious...] Enough is enough, Opal has come back to his senses, and he is still watching these.
He turned the information forward, and as he turned it, he wondered if he fell in love with Raymond at first sight? seems not.
What about Raymond himself? He never said... It shouldn't be, what type of girl is Coroline's dream lover? What kind of person will he fall in love with at first sight
The data record Cororin's penultimate time for checking was fifteen years ago. He read a film and television novel of the Republic, and then turned forward... The political structure of the empire and the theory of noble fiefs, no, no... Selke alloy in construction Application in learning... On nothingness... The future of the Republic... No... Opal looked dizzy and almost desperate, and he turned to the first information about the establishment of the library.
nothing.
Opal's mind was in a mess, full of unfamiliar terms. He opened all the databases with a bit of a wreck, and searched 73 trillion pieces of information. Have all these things Cororin seen? Not necessarily... It's possible to read hundreds of millions, but it's too exaggerated to read all of them.
He thought about it for a long time, and when his brain became hot, he had to enter "humanoid life body manufacturing technology" in the search box.
But he held back and sighed, it's not enough now, he has to be rational.
Otherwise, when Cororin found out and asked, he couldn't answer at all, and now he has been exposed a little bit. In case Cororin was using his mental power to spy on what he did... Opal couldn't help shivering.
and many more! Spiritual spying!
Opal seemed to have glimpsed a ray of light in the darkness. He closed his eyes and began to meditate. He released his spiritual power, surveyed the entire palace, and searched for places like dark rooms.
It seems that there is a layer of Cororin's spiritual barrier here, and Opal's spiritual power has been heavily suppressed. He knows that this is not against him, but against the measures laid out by Recht and Ledgerson... lest they be peeped. .
Mental power is like a layer of hurricane wall. Opal tried his best to be unable to see the entire palace. The barrier was unfolded heavily, and the resistance to the center of the palace increased, until it was almost impossible to enter half an inch in the corridor.
Opal got up, walked through the corridor from the database, and tried to find the weak point of Cororin's defense. His mental power had been suppressed to the point of being unusable, and as soon as he released it, he was pushed back like a tsunami by the mental barrier under Corroline. .
He walked through the storm circle, and the pressure around him instantly lightened, and he found himself standing at the eye of the storm—that was the throne of Cororin.
Mental power can only cover a small area of the central hall. Opal sat on the throne and felt that there was a secret door behind the throne...
There is a ladder behind the secret door. The ladder leads to the space under the palace of Hanging Island. Cororin's power of faith guards the entire space. Opal cannot break through from any angle, but this is already a great gain. .
what is inside? A row of replicant lifeforms exactly like Coroline? The clones in the experimental field have been destroyed by Cororin, and the only one left, the underground here may be a new laboratory.
Opal thought of Nolan's phoenix again. He had never seen a phoenix when he arrived here. He was not in Cororin's room, but he might be in this basement. It is more likely that it is not a replicator, nor a phoenix, but something else - the source of the power of Cororin's belief.
Opal's only thought now is to resurrect Raymond, he tossed and turned, thinking about the dark from the morning, lying on the bed, thinking carefully about all possible ways.
Where did Cororin's technology to create replicas of human life come from? He must have learned it from others. The Ivory Tower No. 2 experimental site, the star knights are all related to the ivory tower, maybe it was Cororin who got the technology from the ivory tower without telling Recht. Set up a laboratory.
Then Opal can also enter the ivory tower one day... When the decisive battle between Rector and Coroline is over, can he beg Rector to make a Raymond
Rickett probably wouldn't allow it, and it's okay to say that it was Cororin who created other life forms. He would never allow this to exist again.
If Raymond hadn't died, maybe with his power, after learning the power of faith, he could help Rickett fight against Cororin... Do you want to tell Rickett about this? Opal returned to the hall again, probing the barrier placed by Cororim, and thinking about what might be inside.
In an instant, the barrier set up by Cororin recoiled, pushing his mental power out of the throne.
Opal was shocked, knowing that he had been discovered, what should I do
He stood in the hall at a loss, backed away a little, and nothing more happened. He turned around a little scared and went back to the corridor, lying on the bed, did Coroline realize that he was spying on the secrets of the palace
Opal became more and more confused, and he fell into a strange dream.
In the dream, he was naked, and was scrutinized by a pair of eyes in the sky, as if something spanned the space of tens of thousands of light-years and invaded his dream.
Coroline's voice sounded in his dream, and when he asked him something, Opal didn't even know what he answered. Something vaguely invaded his body, which made him feel unspeakable.
Its daybreak.
The moment he opened his eyes, he knew that Coroline must have discovered this!
Opal lay on the bed panting frantically, as if he hadn't slept before, and he was so exhausted that he fell apart.
He recalled it over and over again, thinking what did Coroline ask him in the dream? My memory is blank, I can't remember anything.
Did Coroline discover all this? So should you run away or stay here and die
No, not necessarily, Cororin couldn't break through the barrier of his inner memory world, and could only generate dreams in his outer memory world. He must have noticed that Opal was sitting on his throne and used his mental power to probe the underground space of the throne.
But he didn't know why he did it.
If the self in the dream is fluent and has no flaws, then maybe you can take a gamble.
If found out, the first thing Cororin would do after he came back would be to clean up himself, but with his character, he might not kill him. Will he show mercy because Opal and his clone were once in love
Give it a try.
Opal decides to stay here, neither for Rector's mission nor for himself, he can't go.
These days, he practiced swords and meditated as usual, and did not touch the forbidden area of Cororin.
Opal gradually calmed down and figured out one thing: if Coroline knew the truth, he could also let the officers of the Meteorite Legion come up to arrest him.
He is still alive and well in the palace, which proves that he has concealed it.
After a cosmic month, Coroline returns.
