Seeing Lin mumbling and chatting with her Pope who was like an Amazon female warrior, I suddenly remembered something that seemed unrelated to the current situation—after returning from the Heisenwood-Redmoen Twin Stars, We saw a publicly sent message on the Imperial Communications Network, the content of which was blessings to the silly big ones.
That incident seems quite inconspicuous, and to be honest, it has nothing to do with the present. If I have to say why I suddenly thought of this, it would be more tortuous: first, when I saw Lin chatting with the Amazon female warrior, I thought of her other things. Believers, when you think of other believers, you think of Sonia, when you think of Sonia, you think of Gemini, and when you think of Gemini, you think of that little incident not long ago—you see, my mind is so out of the ordinary. I can’t even tell what I will think of when I put a stone, which is probably an important reason why I can get along with Qianqian: My associations match her creativity, do you think there is anything more compatible than us in this world?
At that time, Sandora and I didn't think too much about the strange network-wide message when we found it. We just thought it was some boring broadcaster who accidentally chose the wrong channel and turned the blessing text message that should have been sent to the person into a network-wide message. The group sent it, but now I suddenly remembered that incident again, and saw Abyss Xiling in front of me again, and my heart moved: "By the way, Abyss Xiling, I have something to ask you."
"Say." Abyss Xiling said a word briefly.
"Gemini...is Redmoon-Heisenwood, do you know?" I looked into the other person's eyes, "It was originally on the edge of the Abyss, a relatively desolate world, and it was between the Empire and the Abyss. The buffer line came, and then... ahem, then the world collapsed and fell apart."
I suddenly remembered that the Redmoon-Heisenwood world was smuggled back by myself in the end, so it was a bit embarrassing at the end, but the expression on Abyss Xiling's face did not change at all, just with that Such a confident smile from beginning to end: "Oh, I thought you were going to say something... In fact, it was a good thing you did at the beginning, right? Stealing a universe from under my nose is a rare masterpiece."
I almost choked on my drink: "Ahem... did you notice it?"
"Actually, I didn't realize it until you shipped almost all the fragments back." Abyss Xiling looked at this side with a half-smile, "Originally, I wouldn't pay attention to such inconspicuous things, but a few people who performed routine scanning The outpost found something tricky: after the universe was torn apart, a large number of fragments were produced, but all the fragments floating to the abyss area had no signs of life, and the large fragments floating to the empire area looked normal at first glance, and their drift was carefully calculated After the process, I found that those things had traces of being artificially guided, and these signs could not be fooled by probability... But it was too late when I found out, and most of the fragments had already entered the Empire area. Total war, you know, in order to ensure the smooth continuation of the great cause, I don't want to cause too much trouble."
I was a little dazed. I never thought that the plan of stealing the sky and exchanging the sun that I planned carefully and paid a big price for was still flawed, and was discovered by Abyss Xiling so quickly. However, the whole plan was successfully completed. Abyss Xiling found out that something was wrong when all the fragments were transferred. From this point of view, she still lost: This is really not easy. Do you know how much it is to make this wily guy suffer? Is it difficult
"Did you really send that message back then?" I shook my head and refocused on the original question, "I remember the original text of the message was... 'Say hello to the stupid big man and his friends', um That's right, that's it."
I thought that even if Abyss Xiling admitted it, she would be a fool, but I didn't expect her to nod happily: "Yes, I sent it."
"It's really you!" I almost jumped up on the spot, "Do you know about Heisenwood-Redmoon?"
Various thoughts were spinning in my mind, first of all, how much can this abyss spirit know: the world of Gemini has always been the line of fire between the empire area and the abyss area, and no one dared to shoot the first shot in the stalemate between the two sides Naturally, no one dares to be the first to go to that material plane to set up an outpost or something like that, so the situation in that universe should be unknown to both parties, before I lead a group of people to carry out the mission Well, the Imperial Army didn’t even know that there was life in that universe, let alone that there was a twin star system called Redmoon-Heisenwood in that universe—but did Xiling of the Abyss know? !
According to the other party, her attention was always on other places when we were performing missions in the Gemini world. She didn't realize that the situation in the universe was wrong until the Imperial Army secretly transferred the world fragments away, and after that She certainly couldn't hack into the Empire's information network, so she knew that the story of the big fool should be earlier than that... before we set off for the world of Twin Stars.
"I've been paying attention to that world for a hundred years," Abyss Xiling smiled, "I didn't give up that place until you pushed the outpost to my border bit by bit... After all, that universe has no special value, it's placed on the border Just right as a buffer line."
I understood immediately: The new empire has only been established for five years, but the abyss area resumed its activities hundreds of years ago, so Abyss Xiling knew that things in the world of Gemini were normal a hundred years ago, and we It was only two or three years ago that the border forts were built around the twin star world... No wonder she knew the story of the big fool and others.
"Do you still have this hobby of voyeurism?" I looked at Abyss Xiling with a strange expression, "The ruler of the abyss area, spying on a group of natives who are killing their own planet? And you haven't killed them yet... "
"Why do you want to take action?" Abyss Xiling was more surprised than I was. "Their world is useless to 'Daye', and the mortal civilization in that universe is not a threat. It would be a waste of time to eliminate them."
Me: "... Well, I forgot your 'principle'. So you knew the story of the idiot gang from the beginning, and you have observed it for hundreds of years, and you didn't look away until two or three years ago... This I Why do you feel weird?"
I don't know how to describe my feelings, because what Abyss Xiling did once again exceeded my impression of her: as the ruler of the Abyss area, a person who burns, kills, loots and commits all kinds of crimes in other places (At least in the eyes of many ordinary races), the bully leader did not harm a small group of mortals around her. She did not send troops to occupy that universe, and did not even touch a single flower or leaf there (of course did not give any help), she just peeped calmly, and peeped for hundreds of years at a time. Child scene it.
What is even more unbelievable is that this eccentric guy actually sent a message like that after he found out that the world of Gemini was stolen intentionally... She didn't become angry, but sent a half message to the stupid big guy and others It's a message of sympathy and half farewell!
"Is this strange?" Abyss Xiling looked at me with a smile, "Do you think I should send troops to burn all the worlds I found, leaving no one alive anywhere? Or do you not believe that I will let a little one go?" A mortal civilization?"
I said nothing, but the expression must have been the default.
Abyss Xiling propped his chin with his hands: "I said that I have only one goal, and that is the 'great cause'. Actions such as destroying the world and extracting the heart of the world are all for this goal. Other things I'm not interested. Do you think I like to go to war? No, it's the opposite: every foreign war consumes a lot of my computing power, which could have been used to deduce the "bridge building" plan faster, so I'm very happy I hate going to war with anyone, it would be nice if they didn't resist... Oh, let's not talk about this, anyway, just change your opinion of me a little bit, I am rational, not a madman who kills to kill."
"Eh..." I was a little embarrassed, because I would always accidentally forget the "rational" side of Abyss Xiling, and even her strict logical thinking mode, mainly because her way of thinking was so different from normal people Same thing, "Okay, I know you're rational. But what are you doing observing the world of Gemini? Aren't you not interested in other things?"
"I just want to see how far they can go," Abyss Xiling's eyes turned to this side, but the focus of his sight didn't seem to be anywhere, "I became interested when I discovered that twin galaxy a hundred years ago : It was a place that should have been destroyed by the abyss in theory long ago. Its level of civilization is far from being able to compete with the abyss, but it survived miraculously. Although the situation is getting worse every year, it has never It didn't really fall down. I should have passed over such a trivial thing, but the probability of it surviving is so small that it can't even be calculated... so I became interested in it. I started to observe The binary star system even sent some agents to study the history of that civilization, and was surprised to find that it was not only fighting against the abyss, but had been struggling for more than two thousand years... This is a situation that cannot be calculated at all. I simulated this All the parameters of civilization, and then no matter how you deduce it, no matter how precisely you deploy combat power, you can’t do the same thing, so I’m curious, I want to know how they do it, and I want to see how long they can last. In this Over the past hundred years, the silly big man and his friends have become my focus of observation: they are obviously the key to that civilization's persistence all the way, but these people are a group of mortals with many defects, even their willpower They are not perfect, how can this not make people curious? And observing them is not only my personal interest, but also a study of the evolution of the abyss and civilization. You know that the fallen apostles will also be eroded by the abyss, so any kind of ability What resists the abyss is useful to us, too."
"So what's your observation?" I asked curiously with a smile on my face.
"The result is that if you don't show up, I will get the result soon," Abyss Xiling's voice was a bit resentful, "Your development speed is so fast, you pushed the border in front of me in the blink of an eye, so I have to Don’t give up that place temporarily. After all, it’s just a fairly inconspicuous observation point, and there are more valuable things than it, so I’ll give it to you.”
"Because you measure everything so accurately, you will never understand how Redmoon Heisenwood survived," I shook my head, "but I'm still curious how you put that message Sent to the Imperial Network... Theoretically, the network in the Abyss Zone has been completely isolated from the Imperial Network, no matter how skilled you are, it is impossible to intrude in, is there a loophole in our network?"
This question must be asked clearly. As soon as I knew that it was Abyss Xiling who sent the message that day, I felt a little uneasy: Although we are now in a cooperative relationship with the other party, in the final analysis, the empire and the Abyss area are still opposing camps. Abyss Xiling has the ability to broadcast things in the imperial information network? If there is a loophole, that's fine!
Of course Abyss Xiling knew what I was thinking, she shook her head: "Don't think too much, it would be great if I could hack into your network, why do I have to spend so much time begging for help? That broadcast was just a regular send thing , the content of the message was actually sent out not long after you blew up the universe—the impact of the end of the world is enough to cause your border posts to be quite strongly disturbed, and it doesn’t take much effort to shout a word to you while taking advantage of this disturbance.”
At this time, Bella Villa finally brought over the snacks from Abyss Xiling. I looked over and was relieved to find that there were no screw wrenches on the plate. The displeasure was not serious enough to make her abandon her integrity: if she had the same personality as Lilina, I wouldn't be surprised if anything appeared on this plate.
Abyss Xiling looked at the food in front of him curiously, carefully squeezed a piece of crispy biscuit and chewed it in his mouth. I hurriedly asked next to him: "How does it taste?"
Abyss Xiling's mouth was bulging, but it didn't affect her speech at all: "What's the smell? I don't have this function."
I:"… "
This guy didn't even install the taste library! How much does she save her computing power...
"Then where should I get the food in my mouth?" Abyss Xiling saw that I didn't speak, and then asked, "What's the point of eating other food? Chewing them won't give me energy. .”
"Throw it in a different space!" Bella Villa angrily pulled the snack plate of Abyss Xiling to me, "Give it to you, I knew it was a waste for her—you don't understand this boring guy , I can understand thoroughly."
"I don't understand," Abyss Xiling threw the thing in his mouth into an unknown subspace, then wiped off the biscuit crumbs at the corner of his mouth, and said firmly, "This is a meaningless thing. I went back to the research institute, already I said hello to Bella Villa, I should go back to work, Tavel is still waiting for me."
After saying this, she got up and pushed her suitcase towards the door, without giving anyone any time to answer. By the time I realized from my daze, this guy and her suitcase had already walked out of the store.
"Look, boring guy," Bella Vila raised a finger and pointed in the direction where Abyss Xiling left, "You don't have to work hard to make her look like everyone else in Shadow City, because her worldview is unprecedentedly strong. It's more difficult for this guy to adapt to the atmosphere around you than it is for Pandora to face up to the height problem... "
"Bang—Kerala..." Bella Villa was interrupted by another strange noise from the corner. This time it was the clumsy raven who killed the freezer: the girl might want to use the ice cone technique to get Lilina some cold drinks. Or it has been frozen together with the freezer.
"Well, it's even more difficult than letting these idiots learn how to use home appliances," Bella Villa waved his hand, "It's too stupid, even I can learn how to use such primitive equipment."
I looked at Bella Villa in astonishment: As the King of Ravens, is it something to be proud of who can use a refrigerator and an oven
"Chen, are you free?" Uncle Kenser came over from the side at this time, "Come on, let me tell you something."
I saw the serious expression on his face, and knew something was wrong, so I stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Kenther led me to his table, Lin moved to the side to make room for a seat, I took a chair from the next table and sat down, at the same time the two popes on the other side of the table also politely got up Say hello, but I stopped them quickly: not to mention the lumbar disc of the white bearded uncle, the wheel tomahawk on the back of the Amazon woman warrior looks really intrusive, because there is no shelf for weapons next to the counter, so she has been carrying it all the time. Take an axe, I'm afraid that this sister Mengyu will poke the ceiling of the small shop together...
Although thanks to the hard work of those two ravens who failed to achieve success and a troublesome Lilina, this small shop is almost in need of renovation...
"This is the document sent by the Pantheon a while ago," Uncle Kenser took out a few scrolls from his portable space, "There are also my own observation records and the records compiled by the children, and the last one is the one sent by the Pantheon just now. Notifications coming... ”
I quickly waved my hand: "Don't mind, don't mind, you can just say it directly. I'm still dizzy when I read the imperial case file."
Uncle Kenser seems to have just realized that he and I are not in the same system (people who have lived in the capital of the empire for a long time seem to be like this, and it is easy to forget which side they belong to), and put away those scrolls with an embarrassed smile: " In short, according to the Pantheon's instructions and observation results, the collective failure of the world management system a few days ago is indeed not a routine event, although it cannot be explained theoretically, it may be related to the Void Cataclysm."
Me: "...what?"
"Void cataclysm," Uncle Kenser repeated with a serious expression, "This is the conclusion of the Pantheon, which was announced just a few minutes ago. I also compared the observation records compiled by the children this time with the information issued by the Pantheon." By the way, it is indeed true... "RS
