Volume 1 The Land of the Dead Chapter 169 Crystal Core
That being said, there may be some danger inside. Roger looked over there, a sense of threat lingering in Roger's mind, and although he didn't know what kind of mechanism it would have, the people who built it weren't just hospitable guys.
So Roger said very sincerely: "Linda, I may not be able to take care of the two of us in it, or you should wait here for a while, I should bring Jimmy back soon." ”
"I'm going to go with you, too. Linda's rare tone insisted, ""
"That's up to you," Roger shrugged without changing Linda's mind, "but you must follow in my footsteps and turn you out completely, and hand you back completely." ”
The vault was empty but slightly oppressive, and the cold light hit it, and the chill came out from the soles of his feet and went straight to the Celestial Spirit Cover, this is a cold steel city, and with the deepest malice towards any intruder in it, Roger can hardly imagine how Jimmy's father strayed into this place many years ago, and was able to take a copy of the rubbing from here unscathed.
It was very quiet, because the effect of the magic did not even make the sound of footsteps, which made Roger, who had adapted to the noise of the rainstorm, slightly in a trance, and at the same time made Linda's wheezing voice clearer.
"I....... I'm telling you, don't do it, or I'll ...... I will die with you here. ”
Linda shrunk into Roger's arms, not daring to look directly into Roger's eyes close at hand, a touch of red glow from her ears to her neck, she was already slightly shorter than Roger, maintaining this position as if she was snuggling in Roger's arms, even so, she was still very hard-mouthed 'threatening'.
"I understand, but I told you to stay outside and you didn't listen, what kind of temper are you making now. ”
While walking, Roger did not forget the very straight man's mending knife, the scope of influence of magic is limited, and expanding the range of magic means exponentially increasing the consumption of mana, so the two people who are not so familiar can only temporarily maintain such a very ambiguous posture.
is flamboyant, but in fact, Roger is very gentlemanly and does not cross the line.
However, the range of the bright light was not too large, and the beautiful atmosphere between the two did not last long, so Roger let go of his hand and looked up at everything here that was different from the outside world.
"Hey, I'm more and more suspicious that this place wasn't designed for humans, and that these sub-devices would be exhausting if we were to manipulate them. ”
The warning area itself seems to have a camouflage effect under the strong light outside, the light is deflected there, the strong light is like a watershed, and the environment seen inside and outside is very different, and there will be a unique feeling when you first set foot here.
This area is filled with crystals, which is the lilac crystals embedded in the metal in the strong light area, but here, the metal and the crystals are inlaid with each other no longer exist, and you can faintly see some metal color through the crystals, as if the layer of metal is just to provide a layer of support for the growth of the crystals, and the outside is just a transitional state where the metal has not fully crystallized.
And this completely crystallized area, the appearance of crystal growth is also very different from the natural crystal ore formed in the outside world, showing a 'carved natural state', just like a lot of utensils that have grown, without any traces of polishing, but it is to present a complex geometric structure that is absolutely impossible in nature.
Dragged Linda to the depths for a few more steps, the space suddenly became cramped, and the space was filled to the greatest extent by large geometric crystals, and a small piece of random knocking was a priceless treasure, but if all of them were excavated, then the price of the crystal could only fall to the extent that no one would pick it up when it was thrown on the ground.
"These ..... It's all crystals?" Linda's gaze was a little mesmerized, and girls seemed to have a natural love for these shiny things.
In fact, not only Linda, but even Roger has seen this posture after living for so long, but what surprised him slightly was that Linda quickly adjusted her mentality, although she would still glance at it a few times from time to time, such a mentality was not easy.
"These ...... It's supposed to be some kind of crystal, similar to crystal, but it's two different things from crystal. ”
Although he said that he would go to Jimmy as soon as possible, Roger did not rush in blindly, but approached the crystals on both sides of the corridor, and sighed on the smooth surface of the crystal, and the water vapor condensed into a layer of white mist on the surface of the crystal, which lasted for a long time.
"Hmm~"
After a moment of silence, Roger rolled up his sleeves to wipe away the mist on the surface of the crystal, and coincidentally, a little red light crossed in front of Roger's eyes and stayed on the section of the crystal.
"Where did this point of light come from?"
Just when Roger was looking up and down, left and right, more points of light hit the section of the crystal, their distribution was irregular, and the frequency of falling was meaningless, if there was anything special, they were all concentrated on the crystal wall on the left side of the two, and there was no half of a point of light in the crystal body on the upper and lower sides and on the right.
After all, time is pressing, and there is nothing special about observing those points of light, Roger soon continued to move along the corridor under the urging of Linda, and when they stepped out of this section of the crystal passage, the wall behind them suddenly closed, and Roger, who had been paying attention, turned around and saw that the points of light that had stayed before turned into streamers again, flowing along the crystals that fit together.
"It's ...... I remember that there was a similar existence in the information left by the boss for me, which I saw when I checked the information before....... Hey, big sister, help me find out if there is a ...... in the 'library'"
"Don't look for it, this is the crystal nucleus brain of the crystal family, which is similar to the kind of computer in your brain, but it is specially used to calculate complex spatial mapping, and this part of the data is thrown to you, look at it yourself." ”
Abu's voice, which had not been heard for a long time, sounded a little impatient, but Roger, who forcibly abducted this longing body, could only confess this aunt and grandmother.
Roger saw that there was a beam-like signal passing in it, which might be some kind of computing device, and he didn't need to think about heat dissipation.
Just as Roger was considering whether to turn into the original state of blood again, the crystal walls in front of him scattered, rearranged and assembled with each other, the crystal structures that originally belonged to different structures were rearranged and combined, and the accumulated red light points circulated again in the new position, which seemed to be their way of operating, but from the surface, this method of operation was primitive and inefficient.
However, this also has some benefits, as the two cone-shaped crystals at the bottom of the body leave a gap that a person can barely pass through sideways, and on the mirror surface of the crystals beneath his feet, you can see the footprints with obvious mud, and it is from here that Jimmy enters this 'crystal jungle'.
This is a redundant system on the periphery, and the calculation is not a simple data analysis, but a mapping relationship of space, and they must be calculated at this slow speed, not that the conditions are not met, but that rapid spatial changes are likely to lead to the collapse of the space system, and eventually to the collapse of the system.
There should be an upper limit on the spatial offset rate.
The deeper he went inside, the stronger the whispers in Roger's ear became, and he asked Linda, but there was no response, Roger observed that there were no undead or messy things, like a bunch of meaningless gibberish, which may be the unique 'radiation' of this crystal computing device.
There is no light source here, but these crystals themselves seem to emit a faint light, flashing red light from time to time, although there is no preparation for anyone to enter here, but there is a complete identification mechanism, it seems that as long as you enter this area, you will not be recognized as an enemy, Roger and Linda do not have to worry about being sandwiched into a meatloaf.
The crystal always closed again after the two left, and Roger stopped for a while in curiosity, and the red light spots on the crystals on both sides were almost connected, but they still didn't move, but there was a faint alarm sound.
Roger knew that the alarm that the two of them had heard outside might have sounded slowly as Jimmy passed by.
And as soon as Roger left, the walls on both sides closed as if he couldn't wait. The clogged points of light could finally be used by the crystals to flow in all directions again, and the alarm also stopped abruptly.
Roger was playful, constantly testing the sensitivity of the system with his hands and feet, and the alarm naturally jingled and did not stop.
The alarm sounded, and Linda stopped the playful Roger with some concern: "Stop playing, the kind of alarm you said is going off again, don't move things." ”
Unexpectedly, Roger looked innocent, spread his hands and said, "It's really not me this time." ”
The crystal wall behind him had long since closed.
Listening closely, I found that this alarm sound was faintly coming from the front, and it was particularly urgent, Roger and Linda glanced at each other, realized that it was Jimmy, did not waste time on the road, and rushed over quickly.
Here the crystals have always maintained a proper scale, as if there is an invisible barrier, forming a spherical space between each other, here, it seems that all the shimmering light emitted by the crystals is gathered here, and after many refraction processes, finally the lilac turns into a crimson light, which is not comfortable in this light.
In the center, there is a perfect sphere with a very right facet on the surface, brilliant and eye-catching.
Jimmy was just below the sphere, where countless tombstone-like crystals grew, and he couldn't see his expression clearly with his back to the two, and he was stroking the crystal plate, which might be the tombstone that Jimmy's father rubbed the text said.
"Jimmy!"
Finally finding Jimmy, who had left alone, Linda was about to call out to him, but the moment she stepped into the crystal clearing, the large, slowly rotating ball suddenly shone brightly.
Roger's reaction was quick, and he subconsciously built a magic barrier, but this time it was not he who caused the mutation.
"Hmm......"
Linda suddenly covered her head, her eyes went dark, and she felt that everything was spinning, and only then did Roger catch that the big ball in front of him was sending an unknown signal to Linda, and that some kind of being was using the big ball to transmit information to Linda, which further deepened Roger's speculation that it was not a god, because even if it was limited to a single indigenous god, they did not need to use this method to connect with their own followers.
"I heard, I heard the voice of the gods again!"
