Chapter 57: The Tower of Babel
“…… Is he someone important to you? Guiguzi saw that she was silent for a long time, breaking the silence.
"Yes, from the grace of knowledge." Hirsch didn't want to say more, turning off the projection system with one hand and drawing the circle with the other.
The next moment they were amazed at the speed of her hand, they were already in another place.
Star map G19 overlooks the center of the capital from above, a huge metal platform divided into twelve areas with twelve different inscription symbols.
Li Bai and the others were standing in the center of the metal platform, looking at the huge stone ball hanging high in the center of the defense and carving a golden triangle.
Guiguzi was lifted high by Mengqi, touched the stone ball, and asked, "Where is this?" ”
"This isn't a tower, it's the control mechanism of this platform." Li Bai put his hand on it, frowned, and did not react.
"Brilliant Capital Babel Tower." Hirsch stepped forward and touched the stone ball without the slightest luster, and in an instant, the lines of the stone ball flowed with golden light, extending to the entire metal platform.
"Wow, amazing!" Guiguzi exclaimed and applauded.
Hirsch said, "After we evacuated the King's Continent, this Tower of Babel was sealed. ”
The Tower of Babel, which is thousands of meters high, was sealed under this metal altar by Nuwa, leaving only the activation mechanism of this defensive modification, waiting for her or the arrival of the members of the ark.
"You're going to turn it on now?" Guiguzi asked.
"Yes, that's what I'm here for the Land of Origin." Hirsch changed his words, and stared at Li Bai who was thinking with sharp eyes, "What about you, what are you here for?" ”
Li Bai didn't panic at all, but instead raised another question, "Evacuate the King Continent...... That is, your compatriots, in the Far North? ”
"Ha, you're such a threat!"
I found so many clues from her words, did she reveal too much?
Maybe in the first place, she shouldn't have brought him into Xuandu with her for that pathetic guilt, she could have told Guiguzi and Mengqi more about her......
Hirsch narrowed his eyes, the Heavenly Blade appeared in his hand, and Li Bai also drew his sword and jumped over, forming a confrontation with her.
The sudden change of momentum between the two frightened Guiguzi, he hugged the silver-horned cat in a panic, and asked nervously, "Okay, why do you want to fight?" ”
Li Bai smiled, not panicking at all, "Because I know something terrible, she has to solve me!" ”
Although his instincts told him that she wouldn't hurt himself at all, he still needed to be vigilant.
"Heh, these things won't be a secret soon, and even if you do, what are you supposed to do?" Hirsch sneered.
In the current King Continent, who else cares if God will return to the world? They all think about how to seize the power left by the gods to expand their territory, or pursue immortality.
"Li Bai, did you enter the Land of Origin really just to practice?"
Li Bai quickly admitted, "No, also to find the legendary upside-down city, one of the twelve wonders of the floating city." ”
"Hehe......" Hirsch wanted to laugh, but the prosthetic's facial skin didn't make this expression, she said, "The floating city is ruined, and everything you see when you look down from the altar is the remains of the floating city." ”
"Impossible." Li Bai didn't believe it, and retreated towards the periphery of the metal altar, this glance made him stunned, forgetting to beware of Hirsch's sneak attack.
The metal platform occupies the entire summit of the Luoling Mountains, and as far as the eye can see, there are all ruined buildings, which are crawling with vines, the ruins are overgrown with trees, and in some areas there are still traces of demon seed activity.
Hirsch put away the Heavenly Blade, replaced it with an anesthetic in his hand, and slowly approached him, and at the moment she made a move, Li Bai jumped from the metal altar and landed in the destroyed complex.
He looked up at Hirsch's raised right hand, and sighed faintly, he didn't know what she thought, and he didn't restrain his killing intent when he sneaked into a sneak attack.
However, instead of using a sword against himself, he used an anesthetic needle, which is the same trick as before!
Since she didn't think about killing herself, and she promised her that she wouldn't tell everything she learned here, then make good on her promise!
Hirsch put away the anesthetic and nodded at Mengqi, his eyes glazed over, and he couldn't help but refuse.
Mengqi hesitated for a moment, and was about to launch the Nightmare Vortex when Li Bai suddenly laughed and shouted to them, "Come down, it's safe here, don't worry, I will keep my promise and won't tell those things." ”
"Tsk......" Hirsch was stunned, his brows furrowed, Mengqi's raised claws were instantly put down, and he smiled happily and said, "Poyo~"
"What were you going to ...... Kill him? Guiguzi instantly understood what Hirch and Mengqi meant, and brought a trace of sympathy to Li Bai.
“…… You really won't say it? Hirsch ignored Guiguzi, jumped off the platform directly, landed not far from Li Bai, and asked in a very serious tone.
"No, I promised you." Li Bai put away his sword, "Since the floating city has been destroyed, then I don't have to stay, so I will return to Heluo." ”
"...... so soon" Hirsch was stunned, she thought that Li Bai would not believe that the floating city had been destroyed, but she didn't expect to return to Heluo directly.
"Hey, can you show me the way?" Li Bai saw that she was stunned and smiled, "I really plan to leave here and go to Chang'an to seize the core of the ark." ”
Hirsch pointed to the pilgrimage trail down the mountain, "from here...... Forget it, you give me a coordinate, and I'll send you away. ”
"What are coordinates?" Li Bai was a little confused, could he say something he could understand?
"Chang'an, where on the world map?" Hirsch changed his phrase and added at the end, "Be precise about the specific location of the teleportation, otherwise you will be cut into ...... Well, forget it, let's go down first. ”
She suddenly remembered that she was not in the same era as Li Bai, and no one would remember the landing location of the teleportation array at any time like her.
"Oriental ...... on the map The specific location, I don't know ......" Li Bai spread his hands, very helpless.
"Whew, let's go down first!" Hirsch suddenly reached out to catch the falling Guiguzi, and said to Mengqi, who looked frightened, "Why did you two jump down directly?" ”
Guiguzi said, "There are no steps on the platform, they are all reliefs, how can you come down?" ”
"Hehe, that's really embarrassing for you......" Hirsch carried Guiguzi and put it on the stone tablet beside him.
She glanced at the stele, and suddenly, memories of hundreds of years ago poured out, and the mysterious sound of sacrifice echoed in her mind.
She thought, she had to find the stone tablet with the name of the Miracle Keeper engraved on it.
The moment Mengqi landed, it became huge, stirring up a puff of dust, and it was not only Mengqi who crawled out of the smoke, but also the strange-looking humanoid demon species.
The humanoid demon was snow-white, with large, terrifying red eyes on the top of their heads, fangs on the sides of their mouths, and corrosive liquid, and stood on the broken walls behind Hirsch and roared at them.
"Be careful." Li Bai reminded Hirsch that he was about to rush over to solve it, but his other foot was grabbed by another demon seed of the same kind.
Hirsch looked at the golden lines circulating in the palm of his right hand, and with a bang, the sharp iron piece of the metal rod opened, sending out sound waves that attacked the brains of the demon seeds.
"Annoying!" Li Bai was about to swing his sword to cut off the demon seed claw that grabbed his leg, but before he could hit, the demon seed claw had already retracted.
At the same time, the demon seed that attacked Hirsch had fallen to the ground, and the terrifying red eyes were on it. A metal rod with a metal needle flower open.
"What kind of weapon is this, so powerful?" Guiguzi pulled out his weapon and asked.
"A sonic device that attacks the demon seed."
"I can use it...... Alas?! Guiguzi was stunned for a moment, startled by the change in the metal rod.
Before Guiguzi could finish his surprise, the needle on the metal rod retracted, and the metal rod quickly disintegrated into an ordinary scrap iron piece, which was not at all similar to the previous appearance.
"It tagged my DNA and I could only use it." Hirsch took the scrap iron piece, and in Guiguzi's surprised eyes, it quickly changed into a weapon form that killed the red-eyed humanoid demon seed.
"Awesome, what are you talking about, what is DNA?"
"Double Helix, you have cracked the art of reincarnation, you should know it!" Hirsch was a little surprised, Guiguzi didn't know that the double helix was DNA, too strange, right?
