The ghosts of Gensokyo are a group of strange guys, maybe they are of a special race, they are basically in a state of excitement all the time, and they may hold a banquet anytime and anywhere for various reasons, sometimes I even guess , Is it possible for them to develop a dinner party as long as they see more than three monsters together? For Gensokyo, this is not difficult to imagine.
It's like now, originally the monsters just followed Yakumo Zi to join in the fun and listen to the legend of the ghost ship, but I don't know who came up with an idea, and these happy guys prepared the props for the banquet on the spot, and held The reason for the banquet turned out to be "Since so many people gather together, of course there is a banquet"!
Such a magical theory, as long as many people get together, they must hold a banquet to celebrate. I can't imagine how happy they would be if they went to the Xizhimen Overpass...
Originally, I thought that if they wanted to hold a banquet on the top of Mount Olympus, Zeus would definitely have an opinion, especially since this group of guys still occupied the sacred temple on the top of the mountain in a grand manner, but I didn’t expect the owner here to be surprisingly tolerant of this. , not only did not stop him, the giant who was more than ten meters tall even took the initiative to take out the special food on Mount Olympus from the temple, and asked other artificial gods to help deliver it to the square, and then he himself sat on the ground in the square, following The monsters chatted without any barriers.
I grabbed a passing male Atlantean who was nearly three meters tall, and expressed my doubts to him: "It seems that Zeus doesn't mind the troubles of monsters? Olympus Isn’t the top of the mountain a holy place?”
The giant bowed to me and said with a smile: "Any temple on Mount Olympus is not a holy place, it is just the residence of servants, the real holy place is at your feet."
I thought for a while: "Then if I walk around this square, won't you be able to get out?"
Bingtis stretched out her leg and gave me a kick: "I'm just waiting for you, a bastard, to take over!"
The young man in Atlantis on the opposite side was stunned for a moment when he heard my words, and then he really thought about it for a while before shaking his head decisively: "It's not mentioned in the scriptures, so it doesn't matter if you think about it."
Bingtis stared dumbfounded at this simple and honest young Atlantean man-made god, and suddenly covered his forehead and let out a long sigh: "Hey, this kid must have done homework for his classmates every day before he graduated from elementary school. Such an honest child has been bullied."
I didn't know how to continue to complain about this rogue goddess who would grab lollipops from the neighborhood kids as long as I could remember, so I turned my attention to the young man in front of me and asked casually, "What's your name? "
I just asked in passing to divert Bingtis' attention, but I didn't expect that the other party's name would be a very deafening name: "Prometheus, you can call me Prometheus."
I was startled immediately, and then I looked straight at the young Atlantean who called himself Prometheus, and then looked up at Zeus in the distance. I knew that this person in front of me should theoretically be the uncle of Zeus , if there is a one-to-one correspondence between myths and legends and real Atlantean man-made gods.
So, all kinds of entanglements.
Bingtis is more outspoken than me. She also read the history of mythology on the earth when she was bored. She is not very unfamiliar with the name Prometheus, so she asked casually: "Oh, Prometheus, I If you know this name, you just stole the tinder..."
"Ah, this," Prometheus scratched his hair, "I was eating barbecue in the sun car while patrolling, and accidentally dropped a burning stick. The forest fire was quite big, and then..."
"Later he was hung on Mount Olympus and beaten for three days and three nights," another voice suddenly interjected. I turned my head and saw a smiling young girl standing beside her—at least 2.4 meters, this The long-haired girl in a silver-gray safari unceremoniously exposed the embarrassment of Prometheus, and then raised her skirts to Sandra and me and saluted, "Artemis, you should be familiar with this name."
I know she is referring to another Artemis of Avalon, the Artemis of Avalon in the holy land, and Artemis of the moon god in Atlantis. These two people have always been here The special landscape, I often joke about this with the "smaller" Artemis. familiar.
In addition, the story of Prometheus gave me a revelation, never believe in myths and legends, because you can't imagine how nonsense their original versions are-not to mention, even the famous golden apple, Isn't it only 25 cents more expensive than Red Fuji...
"They really don't have any sense of urgency."
Me, Sandora, and Bingtis sat far away from the monster bonfire, with Zi Yakumo, watching a group of silly happy days in the distance, and even Sandora couldn't help complaining .
"It's really hard for monsters to create a sense of urgency," Yakumo Zi said in a leisurely tone, drinking an unknown drink made from an unknown plant she stole from an unknown monster, "At the beginning, Art When Landis fell, they thought, 'Ah, if this one falls, I might hit my head', and to be honest, it's really hard to be reassuring."
"What the hell is going on with the ghost ship?"
I glanced at Zimei and asked in a low voice.
"It happened yesterday," the monster in the gap replied, "I went back to Gensokyo to deal with some things. You should know that after working in the Space-Time Administration for so long, I also know a little about cross-world teleportation, and my ability is also very suitable. One person operates these things, so when I was close to the end, I deviated from the standard course and wanted to try to fall into the material plane from the edge of the world."
I am not surprised by Yakumo Zi's reckless behavior. Although it is very dangerous for ordinary passengers traveling across the world to leave the safe route rashly and enter the edge of the world where materialization is seriously unstable, Yakumo Zi is different. Firstly, she has always been very confident in her abilities, and secondly, she is also a semi-expert who has worked in professional departments for a long time. The "boundary" in terms of geography, but conceptually, is the dividing line of a world from the part that can be described to the part that cannot be described. One end is the main material plane, and the other end is the buffer zone of concepts and laws, and then extends outward. It's the world barrier, just like the virtual partition in the hard disk,) It's not too difficult for her to make a round trip. As a monster who always likes to cause trouble when she is free, she is not only used to making holes in the barrier of Gensokyo she built to tease Reimu, but also likes to frighten the pilot of the dimensional hub every now and then.
"Then I met those big spaceships at the edge of the world. Although I don't understand how you classify various spaceships, I guess they are definitely interstellar warships, capable of fighting," Yakumo Zi continued, spaceships, interstellar Words such as battleship, cross-world teleportation, and dimensional hub are somewhat nondescript from the mouth of this Gensokyo CEO, but now I am used to it. After all, Reimu uses beam guns. Being labeled as fluorine-free frequency conversion, you cannot reject the four modernizations of Gensokyo for any reason, "They are smaller than your spaceships, and the largest should not exceed 50 kilometers. There are more than a dozen ships. On the surface It is dilapidated, and many of the structures inside are exposed. Those spaceships appeared suddenly, and there was no sign of disintegration when they drifted around the edge of the unstable world of matter, so I guess they at least exceeded the limit defense of matter. Those spaceships Powered, just don't know what kind, but they have lights on their hulls anyway, and they're also moving on their own."
"Are you sure it's uncontrolled?"
Sandora interjected.
"Sure," Yakumo Zi nodded without hesitation, "I knocked on one of the spaceships a few times, and there was no sign of counterattack at all, so even if they still have power, most of the crew inside are dead."
"Then the spaceship left the material world." I mentioned what Yakumo Zi said just now.
"Yes, the one who disappeared suddenly doesn't seem to be swept away by the turbulence of space, but it seems to have left that world on its own."
"Hades also encountered the same thing, right?" I glanced at the distance, and a giant more than ten meters tall was putting medicine on his forehead. Originally, he could find a professional repairer to maintain his Artificial body, but it seems to be delayed now, and this injury is not serious for the Atlantis artificial god, although there is a hole in the head, and even the bones are exposed, but I reckon It won't take long for it to heal.
"Well, he was a little later than me. He hit the ghost ship this morning while patrolling the border, and he really hit it," Yakumo Zite said unscrupulously, "The relative speed exceeds Mach 55..."
Who do you think she learned from!
The things Yakumo Zi and Hades encountered were very strange, and it is no wonder that they became nervous because of this, and they gathered to discuss on Mount Olympus. The ghost ship they encountered at the edge of the world was powered, unresponsive, suddenly appeared, and suddenly disappeared. It may have the ability to sail across the world, and its technological level is lower than that of the empire, but it should also be qualified for positive communication. The more advanced goods have unknown origins and movements. The sum of all kinds of information is enough to alarm the headquarters.
"Did those spaceships pass by the border of the empire?" I was thinking, while teasing the little cat demon next to me who was not peaceful, I wrapped Orange Meow's tail around my hand, and then slowly let go , causing Lan to roll his eyes frequently, "If they really came across the void, it would be a big problem."
"Who knows about this now?" Sandora asked Yakumo Zi's eyes.
Zi Ma looked around at the bustling monsters in the square, and said innocently: "You can think that the whole world knows..."
Sandora and I: "..."
"Okay, let's arrange for xltv to make an announcement tomorrow, Zi, you should also prepare, the Space-Time Management Bureau will send more people," I sighed while covering my head, "The alert level of all routes in the macro world will be raised recently, and private flights are not allowed. Get off the route, and if those ghost ships float to the main material plane, they will be handed over to the military."
This is a question that needs to be arranged first. Although this is the first time I have heard of such things as ghost ships floating in the world, as long as I think about it for a while, I can know that they are undoubtedly very dangerous when they suddenly fall into the main material plane. , a group of giant warships that are out of control and full of power, colliding with them anywhere is equivalent to a catastrophe. The simplest example is the unlucky Hades: I really don't think there is anyone other than the specifications of the empire. After being able to face the hundreds of millions of tons of metal rushing towards Mach 55, only a Band-Aid is needed...
The two ghost ship incidents I have encountered now both happened on the edge of the world, but there are no rules for that kind of thing, and the possibility of directly rushing into the material world cannot be ruled out, and even the civilian passage of the Space-Time Administration may be disturbed. If that happened, I think it would have to be the most sensational rear-end accident in the world.
"The security level of the civilian passages of the Space-Time Administration is less than one-third of that of the military passages," Sandora also thought of going with me, "Because the scale is too large, many systems are quick-fabricated, such a large-scale ghost ship It is not impossible for the fleet to intrude on civilian access."
What Sandora said makes sense, but the available solutions are still limited. As she said, the scale of the macro world is too large, so that even if the super efficiency of the empire is exhausted, most of the systems in this network are instant products. Therefore, in order to prevent ghost ships from posing a threat to civilian lines, we have decided to increase the manpower of the Space-Time Administration and send more executive officers to patrol all worlds to ensure that ghost ships are spotted as soon as possible. To ease the work pressure of the Space-Time Administration.
This is also an expedient measure. We cannot let the macroworld network slow down forever because of a few ghost ships. Although with the efforts of the Space-Time Administration, this network will be perfected sooner or later, and it will not be afraid of the general threat of floating objects in the void, but in the short term , It is more important to find out the source of those ghost ships.
Regarding the "ghost ship", if it is on the earth, then I am no stranger to it. Captain Jack has already let us know what a ghost ship is on the earth, but on the interstellar or even world level, the ghost ship The generation and existence of space battleships are more curious. A space battleship is a very sophisticated thing. It is hard to imagine that it has full power without control and can actively start the transworld engine. Of course, we can think that They have intelligent systems for autopilot, but that doesn't explain why Hades didn't react at all when Hades crashed into those ghost ships at Mach 55.
"There are ghost ships where all the crew members are killed, but the battleship is still running," Sandora explained to me the examples of ghost ships she knew. "Many interstellar warships have very powerful endurance capabilities. With the aid of circulation and various super-conceptual systems, interstellar warships can even continue to operate in units of ten thousand years. These warships float in the universe or even between worlds, becoming ghost ships, which are different from the ghost ships on the earth. It's very similar. But like this time, not only does it have power, but it can also leave the current world autonomously. This kind of ghost ship is something I have never heard of."
"The key is that I still can't find where those ghost ships are going," I rubbed my chin. It must have drifted to a position close to the territory of the empire. On the one hand, the system of the death garden has been strengthened to scan the surroundings of the macro world, and on the other hand, the patrolling of the border has been strengthened. I guess they will reappear in a short time."
Sandora nodded, but before she could speak, a particularly energetic voice came from the side: "Wow! The banquet has started?! I'm not late!"
I looked up in surprise, and saw that Qianqian was rushing over with a group of young people at home. The little boy Wang took the lead, and behind him was a group of little girls arranged from high to low, watching and following the EMU. It seemed that as soon as I greeted me, I went happily into the bonfire of the monsters. Behind me appeared the smiling elder sister and Miss Lin who was whistling and wandering around doing nothing, and then came The four members of the Shenzu Tiaozi five-member group, as soon as those four Tiaozi appeared, they set up a table of mahjong in a place of feng shui treasure. The mahjong tiles were golden and crystal clear. At first glance, it was the magical pair of mahjong with dragon scales, and Saeko also probed his brain I don't know how these two people got together, but it is obvious that Saeko doesn't often participate in such lively activities organized by monsters on weekdays. What does she watch? It's all fresh, and I even wanted to use the jingle on my head to play with Alice for a while...
What is even more surprising is that the little ghost An Weena, who has not been out for thousands of years, is actually following behind the big family. The same came over, and then hid behind me and Sandora and began to tremble, the light was erratic, flashing like a LED.
"I'm going, why are you here?"
Only when my elder sister sat down in front of me did I have the chance to ask, "Is it Qianqian's idea again?"
"What time do you see?"
My elder sister gave me a blank look, and pointed to the sky, "I've had this problem since I was a child, and I haven't been crazy for an hour outside, I don't know how to go home."
When I saw it, the sky was already dark and hazy. The continent of Atlantis may have left the border of the continent. After leaving the border of the continent, the "light" will gradually disappear. Converted to the time of the outside world, it is also the same now. It was almost night, so I smiled awkwardly, and Bingtis even poked my arm: "Why do I think your sister is like your mother?"
Then... and then my sis heard...
