Chapter 13: Old Things
But fortunately today, the topics discussed by the two sides finally found common ground on "military affairs":
Elta's entire territory was liberated, and the gods of the world were captured by mortals for the first time. It's just that this small common topic is completely different in terms of specific content.
"Man will conquer the sky" and "we will eventually win", the young people who have broken through the door of the developed modern information society are high-spirited, and they all want to use their abilities and youth to create boundless achievements in the other world. They had long been aware of the Elta Empire, the Church of the Two Moons, and the other countries and forces on the planet, and now they were only in awe of the elves who had shown their magical powers in front of the Mendong City Hotel. As for the so-called gods of the world who can be bound by cloth tape...... Maybe it's some kind of magic stick. There is naturally no problem with tying up and slicing those god sticks who have achieved nothing, and even Elta's demographic crisis, and they don't have to be condemned by conscience.
The Eltas, on the other hand, are very different. If the weather is bad, will anyone explain what kind of severe convective weather this is, or even someone will foretell it? No. Is someone giving them an early warning of the arrival of a bitterly cold snap? No. Death, the most feared thing for human beings, gives them hope that they believe that the present god can overcome death, but the present god even gives them a sentence to prevaricate the natural phenomena other than death - whether it is cold or heat, it is the will of the true God, which is difficult for ordinary people to predict and change. And how can these generations, more than a dozen generations, the fear of the unknown and the fear of nature be erased in half a year or a year?
All this, the captain saw in his eyes. As an individual who walks between the workers of Elta and the Chinese, who is like on both sides but is not on either side, he understands the difference best.
The closer you get to Mendong City, the closer you get to the Chinese, the more you can feel how their abilities diverge from the ruling theories of the gods of the world and the bilunar canon. Then should we believe that these Chinese who have spurred forward with the power of industrial civilization after the portal and tore everything on the Elta continent apart and rebuilt, or should they accept it when they see it and compromise with the supernatural forces that have dominated the world with their parents and grandparents?
This is the problem of all the Erta people and the new Erta Empire, and it is the problem that the Chinese who come to Erta have to face. And the answer to this question is to gather enough information from the present God......
"In other words, you are the living gods under one god and above ten thousand, and you don't even know how your body recovers?"
"I don't know." Yucrochatia stuffed another roll of roast duck into her mouth and chewed for about half a minute before repeating her previous answer, "That's a gift from God, just use it." ”
The living goddess Eukoxiatia was not at all in a caged bird's mental state, but her back was now covered with electrodes, and someone would press the remote control somewhere if she wanted to make a rash move...... Phew, buttons. At that time, the current several times the safe voltage value of the human body will cause the present world god to consmitate and contract in the chair, and he will not even have the strength to roll.
She was certainly not stupid, and knew that the thread stuck behind the chair she was sitting on was the source of her inability to resist. But as soon as the hand is slightly stretched back, such an electric current will hit immediately. After a few futile efforts, she gave up on such a plan.
"Since you are willing to cooperate, then we naturally have good food and drink. If you don't want to cooperate, then we're more than capable of driving that device on your back for the whole day. ”
After that, Yukrochatia's reaction was similar to what the textbooks say. It is a human instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, and it is even easier for her to be obedient to inducing questions and to eat the food served here naturally.
For this "cooperation", Yukro Shatia at first thought that these yellow-skinned, black-haired, white-coated, otherworldly people were going to use her to make a piece of hot pot. But the ending was completely different from what she thought, and a few people from other worlds on the other side just took notebooks and strange machines, and talked with her about the daily life of Lancas, the Church of the Two Moons, the gods of the world and even the true gods.
"The Gift of God......" or a few questioners standing or sitting only felt that their intelligence had been greatly insulted. It's a word that can be used by Ukroschatia to answer almost any question about the principle. And looking at her innocent expression after being electrocuted, it really wasn't that she wanted to deliberately fool the other party.
Huang Yuan, who was in charge of the translation, looked at the expression on the face of the SCP buddy who was copying the tablet record behind him and wanted to smash the tablet into Ucrosatia, and couldn't help but shake his head. The logic of the other world is sometimes so brutal, these turned out to be an ordinary medical doctor, of course the goods of the master of psychology can't understand, if they meet the blonde elf who can see through people's hearts, it won't be upside down...... But now that the elves have a pass and know a little Chinese, their whereabouts are becoming more and more erratic, and even Huang Yuan has not had a few chances to see them.
"I suggest, electrocute her and don't let her speak." At the same time that Huang Yuan was traveling outside the world to meet the elf Daviv, several members of the SCP team had already begun to discuss how to adjust the power of the electrodes.
"No, no, no, wait until she finishes talking and then call her."
"It's useless for you to use electricity, maybe that's their logic. What do they don't know about, what is ugly? Huang Yuan hurriedly interjected.
"Even if she is a joker who drank the wine of eternal life, it is our responsibility to find out where this wine of eternal life was bought."
The bewildered god in front of him may really not be able to remember his origin, "Now it seems that those elves obviously know the inside story, but they don't want to say it." The kung fu of dismantling the elements with our bare hands is in hand, and we don't dare to catch it. It's tight, alas. Huang Yiyi, you don't understand our suffering, it's really hard to explain. ”
Now, the construction of Elta has been out of war and is about to get on the right track. However, the contents of the plan and timeline have quietly added some disturbance parameters: the immortal gods of the world, and the elves who are more exaggerated than the gods of the world.
It is not enough for the elves to recognize the achievements of the intruder, and it is not enough for the elves to recognize that we in the other world are also humans. Do elves have the absolute right to interpret the other world? True God...... Or call them advanced civilizations, do they still exist in this world? If they still exist, would they be willing to accept the tiny creatures of their own creation on this planet to repair the landscape? Is it their negligence on the part of this planet that has led to such a quagmire stalemate, or is this the theater that the true gods use to watch the tragic slaughter of the weak beings who rise to the min and fight the mity?
To put it more sadly, if the "true gods" who have set up two kinds of agents are destroyed by other civilizations, then ...... Will such a fate befall all mankind on the bilunar planet, which has not yet escaped the shackles of gravity? If the other party's means are a missionary's composer or a two-way foil, will humanity have a chance to fight back and save itself? In other words, does humanity have a chance to warn? The probabilities of both can only be described by Planck's constant.
This is the urgency of the SCP members, and indeed of all those in the know. From this point of view, the gods of the present world are like lost people who follow the otherworldly people to find themselves, but they are less and less like enemies of the needle against Maimang.
"And how much do you remember about the 'gift of the true God'? Are they a group, or are they one? ”
"I don't remember...... Don't punish me, I really don't remember......" Yukro Shatya was already at a loss. On weekdays, the temple is full of warblers, songs, swallows, dances, chases and frolicks, or it is a continuous chess game and a garden tour, tired of going up the mountain and going to the sea, and recently there are other worldly people's goods and novelties to relieve their worries and boredom, and who really remembers what the so-called "true god" looks like.
A higher civilization to which the true gods belong? The true strength of the elves? Yukrosatia, who has always been pampered and in the deep palace, may have long forgotten these important contents of this world. Before the smoke of the Red Dragon Rebellion burned, what were you doing on Lankas Island for thousands of years?
Ukrosatia stopped the roast duck roll in her hand. Fragments of memory are turning over rivers and seas everywhere, but they can never find the true location where it originally was, yes, people from other worlds want to understand the world through themselves, but do they really understand this world? Or is it to understand and then forget in the day-to-day life?
The roast duck with green onions and sweet noodle sauce gently transitions in the stomach, and it feels very comfortable. However, the bottom is comfortable, but the top is not necessarily - there is nothing more painful than knowing that you remember something, but you can't remember the details at all. For a normal person, this could be his wife's birthday or wedding anniversary, or a spare key to the door somewhere, or some kind of certificate in the corner of a drawer......
At this time, Yukrosatia, who has a lifespan of 10,000 years, is holding her head tightly and trying to remember the details about herself. In fact, aside from her special identity, with her yellow curly hair and a face that can always repair itself to the right level, as well as a figure that is more in line with the aesthetics of the earth, and a self-proclaimed mouth fetish that is relatively rare in Elta's lingua franca, Yukro Shatia is completely a real, rebellious girl in the second stage of secondary school.
Her fingers dug deep into the curly hair, making a mess of the naturally trimmed hairstyle. And the nails trimmed like knives at the tips are embedded in the scalp, as if only pain can make her quickly recall the past 10,000 years ago......
"From this point of view, the possibility that the gods themselves are human beings has skyrocketed."
After reading the first report sent, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Feng Kuang's mouth.
