Chapter 488: The City of the End (VI)
"Not people? What is it that is not a person? ”
Hearing Kurona's answer, Eluka was stunned for a moment, and she asked curiously as she pulled the trigger again, knocking the primitives to the ground again. Kurona, on the other hand, shook her head and looked around with a complicated expression.
"No, these things......... They look like humans, but they're not human! Rather, it is an information entity condensed by energy! ”
"You mean......... Are they demons? ”
Hearing this, Eluka was stunned for a moment, using energy to materialize information is a specialty of demons, and it is also their characteristic. Like Franke, it absorbs so many elements of information, but it's useless if it's not materialized. But if you want to materialize and transform, you have to need energy, which is why Delin and Franke need energy chips.
"Similar to demons, but they're just pure energy condensations, with no self-awareness!"
"I see."
Kurona couldn't explain clearly, but Eluka nodded, quickly understanding what she meant. The reason why demons are demons is because no matter what form they take, their core will not change. You see that Franka has changed so many roles and has not completed schizophrenia himself, which is the best evidence.
But these people here are not demons, that is to say, they do not have the understanding of "self", but are simply the products of the energy network that captures the fragments of information and directly materializes them!
If anything, it's the difference between a self-aware robot and a robot that only relies on a set program to act under the assembly line!
It's no wonder how these guys they met before did it without saying a word, and now it seems that the reason is very simple. Generally speaking, when someone sees such a group of beautiful girls, they will have some doubts. But before they connected and encountered three different teams of people, they all shouted at them as soon as they came up, without hesitation. It was as if he had seen the enemy, and now it seems that this is also because of the influence of the energy network here?
How can the highest level energy network do this?
Of course, they know that Alice's Dream City can simulate a virtual world, but there will be a situation where information elements are directly materialized in the real world? This is almost as good as the myths that change the world as soon as you wave your hand and speak.
"Not only that........."
But before Kulona could finish her sentence, she frowned, showing a look of embarrassment.
"In fact, I just looked into the core area and found that the closer you get to the core area, the more these free pheromones are fixed......... In other words, if we go further inside, we may end up in a non-real world that is completely supported by energy networks! ”
"This ......... What does that mean? ”
Hearing this, not only Eluka, but also Chrissy and Inia turned their heads curiously and looked at Kurona. Kurona, on the other hand, frowned, as if she didn't know what to say. She tried to explain, but finally gave up and sighed.
"All in all, we may go somewhere else entirely, but rest assured, whatever we encounter, it's the result of the fragments of information elements fixed at the heart of the city's energy network......... So we're still in this world, and that's all I can say. ”
This is still how long Kurona has been with Feren for so long, and she has learned a lot about this from Feren, and she can barely figure out what the situation is at this moment. But even so, the little guy is just guessing what the situation is......... She's afraid she'll have to talk to Feren about it.
But now......... Faeron apparently didn't have time to communicate with them.
"Anyway, let's move on."
Eluka shook her head, but finally made a decision. The others didn't say anything, and followed Eluka straight into the city.
Along the way, they encountered a series of obstacles, all of which were strange things. There were warriors in armor, some armies with guns but different dresses, and even several dinosaurs attacked at one point. But these things are of course vulnerable to them, and they can easily get rid of them.
However, as everyone went deeper, the surrounding environment became more and more strange.
"Did you notice......... Foggy? ”
Looking around vigilantly, the elf girl couldn't help but speak. And Eluka nodded, in fact, not only them, but the others also found that the more they walked inside, the thicker the fog around them became, at first it was just a little fog, but now it was so thick that it began to obscure the view around them.
"We're moving into the next zone."
Kurona, however, seemed composure, staring at the characters displayed on the window in front of her as she looked around.
"Next, these free pheromones will become more stable, which means that we will enter the ......... A fixed pheromone world ........."
At this, Kurona frowned, apparently she didn't know how to explain it.
And at this moment, a voice that should not be here suddenly sounded.
"Oh, you guys are confused, you can't understand anything! It's so stupid! To put it simply, it's the same as my dream city, it's a different world, understand? ”
"Alice?"
Hearing this voice, everyone was stunned, and then they saw Alice, who had been on the boat, actually appeared from behind them!
"Do you know what's going on?"
"Of course, when it comes to creating the world, I'm a professional! In short, you should know that this Earth has gone through many years, many eras, before you were born. Just like the guys you've met before, they're all products from different eras. Although these things are long gone, the information that once existed will not disappear because of this. As long as there is enough energy, then these things that once existed will reappear! Now, do you get it? It's just that I didn't expect this city to be so powerful, and to be able to reproduce those vanished eras............"
"That......... Will it be dangerous? ”
Hearing Alice's explanation, Inia blinked curiously and asked.
"There will be danger, but it's none of my business."
Alice clearly intends to pursue the strategy of "people to the end", and she even takes a step back, showing her determination to "never go along with this group".
"I'm here to send someone, okay, the person is delivered, I'm worried about the situation on the other side of the spaceship, so I'll go back first!"
After saying this, Alice just nodded at the crowd, and then there was a flash of light, and she just disappeared. Only one other person was left to watch it all in amazement.
"Wait, what's going on? Who told me, why is she leaving? ”
Looking at Alice who suddenly disappeared, the snowbird was also confused, she finally caught up, if it weren't for the teleportation system of Feiren's spaceship, it is estimated that the snowbird would still be trekking in the wilderness at this time. Originally, she thought that Alice would also go with her, but she didn't expect the other party to send her over......... And then ran away on his own?
What does this do?
"This ......... Sister Snowbird, Alice is like this, she still has to be in charge of the rear........."
Kurona also explained with a wry smile, Alice's instigation of the three sisters is the clearest, especially after the deep sea time, this ghost girl has already coaxed out of a realm, so that Aluka has complained in private more than once that she is dead, what are she afraid of.........
"Alright then, let's go."
Snowbird doesn't know enough about Alice, after all, the ghost girl's biggest impression on Snowbird is that the game is good, and she doesn't show mercy when she abuses people. Most of the time she is also a housegirl who doesn't like to go out, so she was just depressed for a while, and then immediately cleaned up her mood.
"Alright, let's go, the doctor wants me to help you......... So what are you waiting for? Whatever is ahead, I can handle it! ”
"I can ......... too"
Looking at the snowbird's confident appearance, Inia couldn't help but pout, but before she could say anything, she was pulled aside by Erin.
It was only a small episode, but after Alice's introduction, the others understood what they were going to face and were mentally prepared.
And as everyone continued to advance, the fog became thicker and thicker.
"Hoo ..............."
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the next moment, the fog in front of everyone's eyes spread out to both sides like the curtain of a drama, and then, a completely different, new scenery appeared in front of everyone.
"It's ......... What? ”
Looking blankly ahead, Eluka couldn't even speak for a while, and even Kurona, who had been mentally prepared, was stunned at the moment.
Because what appeared in front of them was no longer the ruins of the previous modern city, but on the contrary, what appeared here was a tall fortress built on the desert and made of stones!
