Walk out of the laboratory door.
What comes into view is a long corridor, like a central avenue with many extensions. There are countless branches on both sides of the straight corridor. Researchers in white coats and armed men in armor are shuttling back and forth between these branches and corridors.
However, what surprised Gu Moli was the style of the entire base.
... .doesn't seem very advanced.
In his opinion, an empire that can observe the so-called other world, where there are obviously extraordinary creatures, and that has completed the great cause of unification under such conditions that are considered hell mode for humans, must be an ultimate science fiction existence that often appears in movies.
But in fact, judging from the attire of the several armed men standing by at the side, who were obviously there to monitor him, this did not seem to be the case.
Rather than being science fiction like in a movie, it's more like science that has taken a different path.
Looking at these people, they were obviously too heavy, wearing dark armor that covered their entire bodies, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. They had huge chain-blade saw swords on their waists and a stone that glowed orange on their chests. The armor itself seemed to be alive, rising and falling, and the tubes on both sides of the shoulders could spew out hot steam. Only the multi-barreled machine gun behind them gave Gu Moli a sense of déjà vu.
What is this
The Terminator
"Is this your first time seeing this? Weapons from other worlds aren't like this?"
The voice of the blonde researcher came from the side: "Oh, yes, my name is Elena. Aixia said that your name is Gu Moli, right? Then I will call you by your name. These are responsible for escorting us. After all, you are still under surveillance. Please bear with me."
"It's okay..." Gu Moli shook his head: "It's not that there is no such thing in my world, it's just a little different."
"Oh?"
Elena raised her eyebrows in surprise, then smiled again: "Really? This makes me more interested in your world. But before that, let's focus on this mission. There are some things I need to tell you first, so that you don't have any unnecessary misunderstandings."
"Um."
Seeing that Gu Moli was taciturn, Elena didn't care, but continued: "First of all, in order to minimize the risk you take, we held a meeting and studied it for a day, and finally decided to abandon the original death row prisoner plan and use artificial humans instead."
"Artificial human..." In fact, Gu Moli had roughly guessed it. After all, it was impossible for a death row prisoner to walk out of a glass cabin.
"Yes." Aisia nodded. "This involves the Empire's technology, so I can't reveal too much. But please rest assured, because these artificial humans have not yet fully generated consciousness, they are just ownerless shells. Possessing him will not have much impact on consciousness, so it is very safe."
"I see."
After reaching the end of the corridor, Elena, Gu Moli, and a large number of security personnel finally arrived at a circular hall. Unlike the bustling scene in the corridor, there were very few people in the circular hall. Most of them were researchers in white coats, and they all looked very busy. Several researchers were holding their own files and shouting at each other, as if they were arguing.
At the highest point of the circular hall, there seemed to be an extremely large square display screen hanging, with more than thirty pictures of different sizes and contents on it. When Gu Moli took a look, he immediately locked onto a picture in the corner of the display screen.
It was a white secret room.
"Ah, see? That's where your real body is."
Elena's voice came at the right time: "This is the archives, and it is also the central hall connecting all abnormal existences. The secret room you are in is one of them."
“I see.”
Gu Moli resisted the urge to observe the hall and the screen, and retracted his gaze to look at Elena, who looked at him with a half-smile on her face.
"... What's wrong?"
"No, I was just thinking, you don't seem to care much about your freedom? Can't you take a closer look?"
Oops, was that too deliberate
Gu Mo's heartbeat suddenly quickened, but he remained calm: "Asia told me before that as long as I cooperate with your actions, I will be able to get out sooner or later, right? And compared to this, I hope you can find a way to improve my food."
"Haha, that won't work."
Elena smiled inexplicably, and then changed the subject: "In short, if we want to carry out the mission this time, we need to borrow these abnormal beings."
"Before that, I will first teach you some important knowledge."
"Knowledge?"
"Yes, that is the number of these abnormal entities."
At this point, Elena's expression suddenly became serious: "Since it is named as an abnormal existence, it is naturally something that we humans cannot understand, something beyond common sense, or it may be a humanoid, an object, or an environment. Of course, it may also be an extraordinary species in myths and legends."
"Since the Empire ruled the world a hundred years ago, the Empire's Supreme Council was established and unified these abnormal beings into categories. Because some beings are enough to bring disaster just by reciting their names, the Council finally decided to use numbers."
"I believe you also learned your number from Aisia, right?"
"999---27" Gu Moli responded: "What does this mean?"
“That’s a good question.”
Elena snapped her fingers, and as they talked, the two walked to the silver platform in the center of the circular hall, and then reached out and gently brushed a protruding stone pillar on the platform. The next second, accompanied by a slight shake, a black iron wall began to rise around the platform, slowly wrapping the entire platform and blocking Gu Moli's sight. The faint light illuminated the scene inside the platform, so that he would not be completely in the dark, but other than that he could not see anything. He could only vaguely feel that the platform seemed to be moving downwards.
... .Elevator
Before he could react, Elena's voice continued:
"The first number '9' represents the classification of abnormal beings, and your classification is an alien creature. The second number '9' represents the ability of abnormal beings, and your ability is no ability. The third number '9' represents the level of harm of abnormal beings, and yours is..."
"I understand. There's no harm, right?" Gu Moli interrupted her helplessly.
Elena blinked her beautiful blue eyes: "That's right."
"So what about the one you want to capture? It's called... 115---4, right? What's the meaning of this number?"
"... ..."
Elena glanced at Gu Moli, narrowed her eyes slightly, and immediately replied: "115---4 means that it is classified as an abnormal existence in the order of gods, in charge of time and space, and may cause large-scale human deaths. Moreover, this anomaly is the fourth of its kind to be discovered."
"I see... ."
Gu Moli showed an understanding look, "115---4", the first number "1" represents the sequence of gods, the second number "1" represents the target's ability to master time and space, and the third number "5" represents that its existence is enough to kill a considerable number of humans...
... ..So fierce
And judging from the last number “4”, there may be three or even more people as powerful as the opponent
Is there something wrong with this world
But if we think about it from another perspective, even if he has such ability, he is still the target of the Empire. Doesn't this indirectly prove that the Empire is more powerful
... .The more I think about it, the more desperate I become.
Gu Moli took a deep breath, suppressed the disappointment in his heart, and continued: "Come to think of it, you haven't told me the content of the task this time."
"Asia said it's related to these abnormal beings."
"What are the details?"
“This one.”
Elena said naturally, "It's the abnormal existence numbered 488-13. Don't worry, we have really considered your ability limit, so this mission is not difficult. The reason why the higher-ups chose this mission is actually to let you relax outside."
"488---13, what type is it exactly? I don't understand just by the number."
"I'll explain when we get there."
Boom!
Before Elena finished speaking, the long descent from the platform finally came to an end.
... ... ... ... ... ... .
Report of Experimental Personnel
The Council's numbering rules have been briefly explained to 999---27, and he has also witnessed his true form. Hopefully, this will effectively ease his vigilance. At the same time, 488---13 has also been successfully located, and the next step will be to capture the anomaly.
The following are unimportant appendices:
I report researchers Edson, Pernas, and Reinard by real name. These three people openly discussed whether scrambled eggs or boiled eggs were better in the archive hall, and shouted at each other, which seriously destroyed the scientific research atmosphere in the base. I suggest that the main culprit Edson be sent to the Far North Base to grow potatoes. -------Elena
Response: Rejected.
Reason: Elena, I know you're sad because you recently broke up with Edson, but this is no reason for you to take revenge.
