I looked at Sandora's body that was alienated by the abyss, and was very surprised by what she said: "It has never changed? Why do I feel that everything is normal for you?"
"So you are usually too careless..." Sandora sighed helplessly, "Because I have controlled these abyssal forces by myself from the beginning, unlike other infected people who were in a crazy state at the beginning, so you didn't Discovered this—Of course, I hadn't noticed it before, and it wasn't until recently that so much happened that I became more and more interested in the nature of the abyss, and then happened to notice that I was different from everyone else. Do you remember Well, when we first met, I showed you my abyss power..."
I nodded immediately: "Yes, at that time you showed me your paws as if you were showing off a new toy. I was very impressed, and you even scared me back then."
Sandora was sharpening her claws on the balcony railing, and rolled her eyes at me: "What do you mean showing off a new toy? You obviously just want to be honest... Let's not talk about that, you probably didn't have the ability to accurately sense the abyss at that time, So the impression may not be deep, but I have always accurately recorded my physical condition: how much pollution was at that time, and how much it is now, and it has never changed at all when I have been with you for more than five years. Others are different, even if they are Those soldiers of the Abyss Independence Regiment who have never met you and have only received a routine purification on the spiritual network, their pollution status before and after contact with you has a huge difference... Don't you think this is strange?"
I looked at Sandora, and then curiously grabbed her paws to study: "It's a bit strange, but your situation is different from them from the beginning—they were all crazy at the beginning, so after being purified by me The change is obvious, and you took care of the abyss yourself from the very beginning, so there is no need to purify, and naturally there is no change in your body... By the way, your paws are cool to the touch, right?"
"Perhaps it barely makes sense," Sandora was obviously not convinced by this simple explanation, and her tone was very disapproving. "However, I think the situation is more complicated than this. Don't forget that your purification ability can not only be used actively, but also a passive effect. When Weiska was captured by us, he was always crazy for a period of time, and then he was with you It took a long time to get back to normal, which means that as long as you stay by your side, you will be affected, and there is no question of whether you need it or not. And put aside all the circumstances, let’s analyze it from a pure theory: you represent the void It is the natural enemy of the abyss. In theory, as long as it is the abyss, even the abyss that has been suppressed by me will be affected by you... By the way, can you stop smelling my claws, it feels so abnormal... "
I let go of Sandora's giant claws, with a very serious expression: "What's wrong with kissing my wife's hands—it's just a little harder."
Sandora: "... this is serious business, can you be serious!"
"I understand what you said," I raised my hand and stroked Sandora's hair. It seems that the other party doesn't need to make jokes to help reduce the pressure, "In the final analysis, the situation is: all the infected people I have been in contact with have shown signs of improvement, only you have developed drug resistance, and there has been no change in the past five years. Because since The abyss on your body has been harmless from the beginning, and it hasn't gotten out of control in the past few years, so we have always ignored this problem... By the way, did you ask Tavel to check it for you?"
"Of course I checked, but she is a pure scientist. I can only tell me from the data that everything is normal," Sandora put away the giant claws of the abyss, turned and leaned against the balcony railing, and looked up at the sky that was already full of stars , "I'm a little irritable, feeling as if I've been isolated... It's okay to be isolated, but I'm still isolated from you. Do you know how awkward it is?"
I gently stroked her hair: "You can change the angle. This proves that you have a special relationship with me, so you don't take an unusual path..."
"So sometimes I envy your heartless attitude towards life," Sandora sighed, then turned her head and nibbled on my hand before walking into the house, "It seems You don't know what's going on with your purification mechanism, let's study this later. I'll go eat something first. Anwena, is there any snacks in the kitchen... "
"Miss, dinner will be served soon."
"I know, let's have an appetizer first. A few sets of flatbread rolls and steamed buns, as a small snack before dinner..."
Hearing the voices of Sandora and Anwena coming from the opposite side of the balcony door, I could only chuckle, and then I leaned on the balcony railing to look at the stars just like Sandora just now, but I already had another feeling in my heart. Misty Mist: What's going on with Sandora
No one was curious about her condition before, because it is very rare to return to normal after being polluted by the abyss. There are not enough examples to analyze and study. Naturally, no one can tell whether Sandora's situation is normal or not. However, It's different now: more and more former fallen apostles began to appear on the side of the empire, and even the Abyss Independent Group has been established. We have ample examples to analyze, so the anomaly in Sandora's body suddenly became obvious.
All people who have been polluted by the abyss will change after contacting me, even top powerhouses like Harlan and Bingtis are no exception, but Sandora can be sure that her abyssal reaction has never diminished, It also didn't reduce the activity—of course, this may be related to the fact that the abyss in her body has been controlled, but as she said, things can't be concluded so simply.
Somehow, I suddenly thought of Abyss Xiling again, that lingering, ubiquitous, supernatural Abyss Xiling who seemed to have a foot in no matter where she went: Could this have something to do with her!
This may seem a bit neurotic, but don't forget one thing: the Avengers were trapped in a different world back then, but it was the product of Abyss Xiling's plan!
Abyss Xiling is a cautious and meticulous guy, which can be seen from the various self-rescue plans she formulated and the success rate of those self-rescue plans: almost every sky area in the old empire that can struggle has saved itself, but it has been confirmed so far. Her self-rescue plan is basically in the hands of Abyss Xiling. Everything she planned seems to have no loopholes. Even some seemingly insignificant small details turned out to be meaningful in the end. So what the revenge army did at the beginning Could it be a mistake that there is an abyss in the trapped world
I frowned and began to look back at these points in time: After the Vengeance Army was trapped in a different world, they basically went to war with the local abyss monsters immediately, and at that time the Abyss Xiling was releasing the Ark Fleet. After about a hundred years, The polluted area has been gradually deteriorating. But it didn't completely collapse for a while, that is to say, at least in those one hundred years, Abyss Xiling was still awake, and had the ability to check whether her various plans were going smoothly: if the abyss encountered by the Vengeance Army was an "accidental product" , then she has a whole hundred years to correct all this!
But she didn't. Sandora and her soldiers fought fiercely on a primitive planet. It was obviously the preserved fire, but they had to continue to face the threat of the abyss. If this is not a flaw in the plan, there is only one answer: Abyss Xiling did it on purpose.
She needs to expose the Avengers to local pollution, and even... she needs an infected Xiling Emperor.
One thing must be noted in this process: Abyss Xiling made this plan in a "sane state". Before she was controlled by corruption, she made a decision to fuse a vital fire with the abyss!
Why would a Xiling apostle with a normal mind and absolute loyalty to the empire make such a decision
Of course, there are still some unexplained problems in the middle. For example, Sandora's original marching plan was decided by herself, and her passage to a world polluted by the abyss is also random, and it should not be controlled by the spirit of the abyss... Wait, it seems not necessarily, if Sandora faced Are those abysses arranged in advance
As these conjectures deepened, I felt creepy: How big is that Internet ghost planning to play!
I shook my head vigorously, feeling as if I had thought too deeply about this issue. And many of them are things that are completely unproven based on conjectures. Even thinking about it is futile, so I can only put it aside for now. Maybe I can go to Sandora to discuss these things after I think about these things a little bit.
"Brother, brother!" A cheery voice suddenly came from below. I looked down and saw a pair of shiny red cat eyes. Viska yanked my clothes around, "So you are here! Brother, what are you looking at?"
"Why have you turned into cat ears again?" Seeing this quirky girl made me feel happy, and I pinched her fluffy cat ears—since I changed into a cat once on Heisenwood , this girl seems to be interested in cat ears, "I didn't see anything, I studied the stars, oh, I also studied the moon by the way."
Viska's character is not suitable for thinking about those complicated issues. But if I let her know what I was thinking about just now, this girl will definitely not be at ease. She is the type to join in the fun even if she can't help, so it's better to let her work in vain. It's better not to let her know, I just made up a reason and diverted this girl's attention to one side.
It was still dark early at this time of year, and now the moon had already risen to mid-air. Viska and I stood on the balcony railing and looked at it for a while, and suddenly said, "Brother, look how round I am!"
I looked up at the moon in the sky with a weird expression: "... well, it's quite round."
"Humans seem to have thrown a lot of messy things on me," Viska frowned and muttered, "There are detectors, lunar rovers, and big footprints, especially that footprint. It will be permanently preserved as a cultural heritage, and I want to clean it up... "
I broke out in a cold sweat immediately: "Don't mind! Do you know how hard people on Earth work!"
"But it's time for me to take a shower." Viska looked up at me. "Other people's glory starships are usually put away. Only mine has been left outside for more than 700,000 years. It's so dirty..."
I wiped my forehead with cold sweat: "Is there a layer of rock crust outside your planetary fortress?"
"But there are no detectors." Viska scratched her hair vigorously, and it seemed that the empathy hyperlink between the moon and her was abnormal again. Unclean with a lot of residue... ”
I feel that if we continue this topic, it will be so weird that we can't take it back, so I quickly pinched Viska's face to divert her attention: "Okay, okay, when the earth people are going to mine Helium III on the moon's surface Let's just create a new moon and replace you, okay? You can hang in the sky for a few years first."
"Mining helium-3?" Viska's eyes suddenly lit up, "Oh, yes, the people on Earth seem to have this plan...then don't change it, wait until they finish mining."
This time it was my turn to be surprised: "Why do you have no objection when someone mines on you?"
"The helium in the rock shell is so annoying, I've wanted to clean it up for a long time," Viska gestured happily, "I'm just polishing it like a human from Earth, and it also comes with a massage..."
I was dumbfounded: "..."
The only thing we can talk about with Viska is this kind of weird topic!
Many days to come. We have finally ushered in the long-awaited day of calm.
The spacecraft that crashed on the earth 70,000 years ago has been successfully transported to Shadow City, and all the corresponding aftermath work has been successfully completed. Under the leadership of Tavel, several expert groups conducted inhumane research on the spacecraft—the basic process was to disassemble it so that even his own mother didn't recognize it. As expected, this spaceship has no number, and there are no nameplates or other things on all the equipment in the spaceship. Just like the ark that Warren Field was on, it is a "blank" old Imperial starship. Now we know that this "blank" state is the characteristic of things made by Abyss Xiling - I believe that if we encounter similar "blank items" next time, we will be able to figure out where it came from in the first place.
But for now. I would rather not encounter these disturbing things again: Abyss Xiling has brought too many disturbing things to everyone
The situation on the border is also as usual, the new border line has stabilized, and now the Abyss Independent Group is speeding up the construction of forts at several border nodes. From the day when the New Empire and the Abyss actually bordered each other, our demand for border defense has increased to a new level. Now we not only need a large number of defense forces, but also border sovereign facilities that can withstand forced jumps and a large number of space fortresses. —At least at the same level as the tortoise shell that I saw on the land of the fallen apostles. And there are more of them. This is a heavy construction task, but Harlan personally supervised it, and he confidently ensured that the Abyss Independent Group can undertake all the construction work, so Sandora and I don't need to worry too much about this aspect, we just When the Abyss Independent Group is busy knocking on the base, it is enough to pile up enough Imperial Defense Forces to the border.
As for the Abyss area... Well, whether you want to admit it or not, Abyss Xiling seems to be quite "cooperative": the civil strife of the fallen apostles continues in a tepid state.
The Empire and the Protoss conducted several high-intensity telemetry on the Abyss Zone. The detection results are consistent, confirming that there have been large and small military frictions in the Abyss area. If you guessed correctly, the new army and the old army are still competing for the leadership of some local areas. These conflicts seem to be contained very well. The energy of the Fallen Apostles (no matter which faction it is), their activity frequency in the border area has dropped to the lowest point in history, even if the New Empire is building a border fort right under their noses, the latter seems to have no time to care about it. Of course, there are still some necessary responses, such as better than nothing's self-destruct drone attack and provocative probe push. It's not so much a war, it's more like a text message to us saying "brother is not dead yet"...
The border forces intercepted some self-explosive drones and probes, and finally confirmed that these things came from the "new army": It seems that Abyss Xiling kept her promise, at least her troops did not run out to make trouble, that guy seems to have really focused Yu helped us contain the new army.
However, the more the other party looks so harmless and keeps the promise, the more uncertain I am: who is Abyss Xiling, look at her many plans that can scare people to pee and the ubiquitous figure. This kind of almost ghostly guy... Will he really be reduced to what he is today
Now I even suspect that even the "split" of the abyss area is part of her plan, and this plan may even have been formulated by her 70,000 years ago!
Well, this may be an exaggeration, now it only involves the issue of Abyss Xiling. I'm totally in a state of nervousness...
In short, the situation in the abyss area looks very good. Although not many fallen apostles have died, at least they don’t plan to come out in a short time. I just don’t know how long this stalemate can last. According to my experience of being trapped in the past few years, It is possible for them to settle down for two years, and it is also possible to settle down for two days. It is more likely to drive a hundred thousand troops to the gate of the empire early tomorrow morning to greet me... This is life! I have basically been tricked by them all the way for the past five years!
Facts have proved that I really can't live a quiet life for a long time. I finally spent a few days at home with peace of mind, and finally an incident happened.
At noon this day, I was holding Little Bubble in the yard to bask in the sun. While letting my thoughts spread freely in the warm sunshine, I was trying to correct the messy pronunciation and grammatical habits of the little girl in my arms (if Little Bubble If the language really has grammar), the whole person is lazy like a salted fish, and then the emergency communication from Shadow City rang in his mind like a reminder.
The emergency communication was sent by Tavel, and the content was only one sentence: "A large number of unknown objects were found in the abyss gate used for deep diving, and it is suspected to be some kind of wreckage group!"
The moment I heard the news, I knew that the amount of information brought about by this incident might not be smaller than the split of the abyss area?——My peaceful life was over again.
