"Lin Xue, you must have mistaken the channel, right?"
After waiting for half a minute, we still didn't hear any response, and I couldn't help but wonder if Lin Xue had made a mistake.
"...How dare you underestimate Miss Ben's strength!" Lin Xue immediately reacted like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, "Miss Ben is not a dead wood with an IQ accurate to ten decimal places, hehe , Let me tell you, even if there is really something wrong, it must be a problem with this big machine! This lady’s judgment is absolutely correct! Well, by the way, this machine must be broken, and this lady reluctantly Let me repair it for you, that so-and-so, bring me the pliers, this lady is going to dismantle it... ahem, this machine is being repaired... "
What an itchy remark this is! Is it necessary for you to accurately describe my intelligence to gain a sense of superiority in your IQ? Do you really dare to use pliers to repair this futuristic device full of precision? no no no! This is not the point, the point is, how did you come to the conclusion that my IQ needs to be accurate to ten decimal places before I can see the effective number!
In fact, we don't know that the reason why there is no response to this contact for so long is not that there is a problem with Lin Xue's space positioning, but that Jaina didn't react at all...
World Management Center... This bluffing name is indeed a bit too bluffing...
It's as if an alien suddenly descended from the sky one day, stood in front of you and claimed to be a member of a certain galaxy protection organization and asked you to pay this year's protection fee, full of bizarre style and nonsense...
Therefore, it took Jaina a full 30 seconds to get her nerves back to normal after being struck by lightning, and began to analyze which strong man was using this way to pass her super boring time...
"Last contact..." At this moment, Jaina suddenly felt such a message appear in her mind...
That's right, it's just emerging!
Different from the "voice" that sounded like a hallucination in my mind just now, the information this time actually appeared directly in my own mind! It's like an idea that popped up in my mind, or something like a memory that suddenly appeared in my mind. How terrible is this method!
Jaina thinks she doesn't have such ability—even the Lich King, I'm afraid it's impossible to directly project her will into the mind of an archmage like this.
It seems like a long time has passed, but these things are just the thoughts that flashed in Jaina's mind for a moment, and that piece of information still keeps popping up in her mind: "The last contact, this is the World Management Center , please reply to all the planets that received the message, and now start to contact in sequence—
Argus star, Argus star... No return signal found, confirm cancellation of Argus star...
Draenor, Draenor... No return signal found, confirm logout from Draenor...
Vannox... Fannox has a reply, confirming that Vannox still exists... Dantoin, Dantoin... No return signal found, confirming the cancellation of Dantoin...
Azeroth star, Azeroth star... No return signal found, confirm logout of Azeroth... "
"Wait a minute! This is Azeroth..."
Sandora transferred the communication port to me, and then gave me a smirk asking for credit.
"I didn't expect you to be a psychologist..." I stared at Sandora dumbfounded, deeply feeling that compared with her, my deception skills are as powerless as a paramecium facing the Ang star cluster...
Cough cough, isn't this way of describing it a bit weird
In any case, Sandora's whim-like flickering behavior frightened Jaina very well. Although Jaina must not fully understand these words, what she wants is to make her seem to understand!
Argus, Draenor, these two words may be a bit unfamiliar to ordinary people, but as a knowledgeable archmage, Jaina certainly knows what these two worlds mean. These are two worlds destroyed by the Burning Legion. planet!
It’s not quite right to say that, because the Argus planet is the homeland of the Eredars. Rather than being destroyed by demons, it’s better to say that it has become the rear camp of the Burning Legion, and Draenor is really burned. The planet destroyed by the Legion, with these two names in front, Jaina naturally couldn't help but associate with this weird information, and then, the word Azeroth appeared even more just right-if it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to bear it either. Do you want to respond to that cryptic message
"Received a response from the world of Azeroth and established a two-way connection..."
I sort out my emotions and try to imagine that I am a Superman in underwear and standing on the Eiffel Tower telling the story of "Ivedrem"... Ahem, in short, just trying to look serious: "Hello, here It is the center of world management."
"... Uh, this is... Azeroth..." A beautiful female voice echoed in the hall, with a little hesitation and caution.
I quickly turned off the power of the microphone, then performed a three-and-a-half turn in place, took off two backflips, and shouted: "Yeah—"
, After venting, turn on the microphone and continue pretending to be the savior.
A gust of cold wind swept through the R&D hall, including those busy Xiling technicians, everyone couldn't help shivering, and Sandora, who was closest to me, even had a petrified expression.
"Even for an experienced er," Qianqian resisted the twitching of the corner of her mouth, "this is too exaggerated..."
Lin Xue, who was still in the control cabin, snorted immediately, and said vicissitudes of life: "Oh, how can you understand the feelings in our hearts... Of course, I also think that the dead who doesn't want to make progress, is slow and has a zero IQ Wood is not normal…”
Hmph, tell your own story, this great man has business to do now!
I cleared my throat, and started to follow Jaina's previously planned deception plan...well, communicate...
"Hello, representative of Azeroth, since you can receive this message, it proves that you have enough qualifications to talk to us. We are the managers of all worlds. The main purpose of this contact is to collect —Well, according to your understanding, it should be the so-called world (here, the understanding of the world by the natives of Azeroth is only the planet they live on, not the space-time system including the entire universe in Xiling’s knowledge system ), according to our observations, the seventeenth batch of worlds has undergone unknown drastic changes in the past period of time. Many worlds, including Argus and Draenor, have lost contact with their creators. Observe The attackers have been dispatched, and before they arrive, I hope to learn about the current situation in Azeroth through you."
"You are... titans?!"
"Titan? No, our name is not Titan. Perhaps the passage of time and the changes in the world have caused errors in your knowledge inheritance, but this is not a key issue. You just need to know that we are now responsible for the guardianship of the world."
That's it, there are lies in the truth, lies in the lies... Cough cough, without discussing the details, in short, it is to use the things that are well-known in the knowledge group of Azeroth, and cooperate with the communication methods that they cannot understand, to achieve the effect of deception. The purpose, of course, I don't think that such a flicker can make a sharp and intelligent person like Jaina completely trust us, it doesn't matter, what I want is only her half-belief.
That's enough.
Jaina fell silent, and neither did I, giving her time to think.
Suspicious, quite suspicious, this is Jaina's biggest feeling now, although the opponent obviously has great strength, and can use the ability to directly imprint information into the memory of the opponent, which she has never heard of, but only rely on these two points to call herself a god... In this way, there are only two possibilities. First, the other party is really a god, so there is no need or disdain to be patient and prove your identity with me, a mortal. Second, the other party is just a person with powerful but not very normal psychology. An egomaniac, or an old monster who is so bored that he is crazy and specializes in partial magic. Obviously, the second type may be more reliable. There is no shortage of mages in this world who study magic and burn their brains.
Thinking of this, Jaina couldn't help feeling a bit playful—yes, it was a playful heart, she had had enough of being entangled in those messy territorial trifles all day long, plus all kinds of pressure from the human kingdom, and now it's rare Given the chance, there was a "someone" she didn't have to face with a fake mask—whether the other person was a god or a madman, and Jaina felt that she could finally speak without a mask.
So, she responded: "Hi, honorable..."
"Apostle, this is our unified title."
It's quite formal, shouldn't it be true? Jaina thought so, but she didn't reply slowly at all: "Master Apostle, if you want to know the current situation of Azeroth, I can only say that it is very bad..."
"Prepare for records—please elaborate."
No matter what Jaina thinks, she at least seriously reported to us what happened to the world of Azeroth-even if she just wanted to cooperate with the prank.
Through Jaina's narration, we also finally realized the difference between the projected information and the actual situation.
Although there is no difference in the big world view, there is still a huge difference between what happened in the real world of Azeroth and the plot of Warcraft on Earth-to give the most obvious example, the undead Scourge started, the Burning Legion invaded, blood The rebellion of the elves, the moment when a lot of key events happened, is completely different from the "plot" we are familiar with!
Fortunately, I followed Lin Xue's suggestion and contacted Jaina, otherwise, if we rashly enter Azeroth and formulate an action plan according to the description in the Warcraft plot, we will definitely take many detours!
On the Azeroth side, when Jaina had just finished talking about the invasion of the Burning Legion, the mysterious voice immediately interrupted her description: "According to what you said, the Burning Legion has now invaded your world , and you are completely passive now?"
"Yes," Jaina no longer considered the question of whether the other party was playing a prank at this moment, but really began to talk to us seriously, "The army of demons has set foot on the land of Kalimdor and has created a In the fierce battle, we... are completely at a disadvantage, not only because of the opponent's strength, but also because of... "
"Internal divisions, or—civil war."
"That's right, even in this situation, there are still huge differences between the various races. Although we have reached a covenant with the orcs and night elves, more humans still hold a negative attitude towards such a union. Our The situation is... bad."
"Understood, the world of Azeroth is the priority rescue target. The rescue force will arrive near Theramore within forty-eight hours. Please prepare to receive it."
Then, the communication cut off, leaving only a stunned Jaina.
... Could it be that this is not a prank
