Chapter 156: Higher Intelligence (1)
As the minutes ticked by, the orb on the wall stopped spinning.
What's going on? I wondered, is it gone?
Although I really wanted to know what kind of answer it would give me, I was still very worried about Mo Qingyan's situation in my heart at this time.
Seeing that it hadn't appeared for a long time, I decided not to care so much and turned and walked towards the door.
But just as I took a step, a loud "boom" struck. I could clearly feel that the whole building shook twice.
I quickly stopped, nervously surveying the surroundings. At first, I thought the loud bang was coming from the armor above my head. But when I looked up, they were all sitting quietly in the groove, nothing out of the ordinary.
At this moment, a series of loud "boom" sounds resounded across the earth. If it happens once, it is likely to be an accident. But the successive loud noises show that this sound did not happen by accident.
What's more, the more you listen to this voice, the more familiar it feels.
Could it be outside...... Got to war?
I thought about it, and I couldn't help but be shocked, and quickly lifted my heels and ran towards the door. But just as I ran to the door, a gentle call stopped me.
"Miss Qiuqiong. It was Mia's voice.
I looked back and saw that the orb on the wall had resumed its rotation. It seems that it is back.
But instead of answering my question, it spoke to me in an anxious, worried tone.
"Please. Get out of town quickly. The current situation. It's dangerous. ”
"Are they at war with laziness?" I asked anxiously.
"That's right. I can only turn off the probe system temporarily. If only he came back. Take back control. I'm sure I'll find you guys. ”
"And how much time do we have?"
"At most. Three hours. ”
"So little!" I exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes. Let's get out of here. ”
I couldn't help but hesitate in my heart, should we go?
On the one hand, our mission to return to the town has not yet been completed, and if we return in vain like this, won't we fail the diligence and Jiang Man?
From that point of view, we should never go back.
But on the other hand, the situation is too dangerous. Lazy will return to town at any time, and if he discovers Mia's anomaly, he will not let it go, and he will definitely take back absolute control.
At that time, Mia wouldn't have spoken to us as eloquently as she does now. Once it reverts back to being absolutely obedient to lazy commands, the probing system will come back online.
In this way, our whereabouts are exposed to lazy eyes. As soon as he gives the order, all the armors in the town, the Victorious, etc., will rush to deal with us. In terms of equipment, we are powerless.
Thinking like this, I couldn't help but gasp, and a cold sweat broke out on my back spine.
"Miss Qiuqiong. It called me softly.
It was only when it called me back to my senses, one hand on the door frame, the other hand clenched into a fist.
"Let's get out of here. It said.
I was so conflicted that no matter what I chose, it didn't seem right. It would be nice if someone came out and made the decision for me.
Mo Qingyan, Brother Mingshan and Mingliang, why are you not by my side at this time?
At this moment, I really want to have someone around me to rely on.
"Wait!" I was stunned, as if I had just reminded myself of something.
Who can be relied on......
Oh yes, and the two of them!
I frowned slightly, taking this difficult step. This step, no
They go out of the door, but toward it.
In the blink of an eye, I was back in the room, standing under the orb. With my hands clenched into fists, I had never been more serious than I had ever asked it.
"Mia. Where are Lao Xu and Fleur?"
The dots on the sphere slowly spread out in all directions and gradually condensed and formed in various places. At first glance, the sphere, which was originally covered with small dots, has changed into a terrifying face.
It stared at me and was silent for a long time.
"You must know! Xu Shan and Fu Yuan, where are they?"
"Miss Qiuqiong. I have a question. Always wanted to ask you. ”
"What's the problem?"
"You're not from the town. Why. Several times desperately came to the rescue. ”
"It's easy because they're all my friends and partners. They're in trouble, and I can't leave them alone!"
"Isn't it? Just a friend. Is it worth risking your life?"
"Of course it's worth it!" I replied without hesitation.
Actually, I didn't expect that I would answer so neatly. What I didn't expect was that the moment I answered, all the hesitations and contradictions in my heart were resolved with this "worthwhile" sound.
I clenched my fists and looked at it with the most determined eyes. I want it to read my eyes, to read my heart's desires.
"Even if it is a dangerous situation, I am willing to go for it! Even if it ends up being shattered, I am not afraid!" I said to it.
It opened its mouth slightly, staring at me in amazement. And I thought that there was not much time left, so I pressed again.
"Mia, where are Lao Xu and Fleur?"
“......”
"Mia, you said that the people in the town are innocent! In my opinion, they are nothing more than victims of the development of intelligent machines, and they are just lazy pawns!"
"Chess pieces?" it was puzzled.
"That's right, you know, diligence and Jiang Man will definitely not hurt the townspeople. Even if they were all androids created by laziness, they would never attack. Laziness takes advantage of this and wants to force them to stop. Am I right?"
"Yes. That's right. It replied unhurriedly.
But as soon as they stop, Laziness will take action and strike a fatal blow. Am I right?"
"Yes. That's right. ”
"But diligence will definitely not sit still, he will definitely fight back. If at this time, the two sides are on fire, who will be hurt the most?"
"It's the townspeople. Mia replied.
"Yes, it's the townsfolk who don't have any protection, and if their bodies are damaged, their consciousness will dissipate into your system, which is equivalent to death. I'm right!"
"That's right. It will indeed be so. ”
"Mia, I know you have a conscience. Can you watch them become cannon fodder for laziness, fall victim to him?"
"Me. I. I don't want to do that either. ”
"So, we have to do something! free the townsfolk from their lazy grip and get free!"
Suddenly, the air seemed to freeze. Its eyes widened and it stared straight at me, as if it wanted to see something out of me.
But I didn't really have anything in me, only an anxious, restless heart.
"Miss Qiuqiong. You really are. I was amazed. But. ”
"But what?"
"What the hell do you want to save your friend. Or everyone in town. ”
"If I can save everyone, of course I have to save them! But if I can't save so many people, I will choose to save them first
My friend. ”
"Why. ”
"Because ......," I said after a pause, "because of the two of them, there must be a way to get the rest back." ”
Hearing my answer, it was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly. But the corners of its mouth are always on the horizontal line, and no emotion can be seen.
"Incredible. But. Maybe you see the reality clearly. I don't think so. ”
"What reality?" I asked nervously.
"Miss Qiuqiong. Just come with me. ”
With that, the face of the wall disappeared. Immediately, at my feet, two rows of small circular lights lit up. It seems that it was Mia who pointed me to a path.
I walked carefully along the small lamp on the ground. I don't know how many turns I made in the dim corridor and how far I walked. The small lamp on the ground finally came to an end in front of a large door.
This gate is more spectacular than anything I've ever seen. When you look from the bottom, you can't see the top of the door.
At this time, Mia's voice was heard everywhere again.
"This is Lazy Town's deepest secret. If you're ready. Push the door open and enter. ”
I took a deep breath, let go of my hands, and said to the door.
"I'm ready. ”
I took a half-step forward, then placed my hands open on the door. But when I was about to push the door in, my heart suddenly trembled, and I silently asked myself.
"Are you really ready?"
I was stunned for a moment, my whole body felt like someone had cast a spell, and I couldn't move even if I wanted to. At this moment, an eerie light floated out of the crack in the door.
The light was like a flattering hand, and it swayed before my eyes, arousing my curiosity. But at the same time, its distorted posture made me feel inexplicably frightened.
Am I brave enough to face this deepest secret?
"If you're not ready. Forget it. Mia said calmly.
"No, I'm ready. ”
I gritted my teeth and said to myself: Even if you don't have enough courage, you can't back down, you have to go hard.
After taking a "reassuring pill", I closed my eyes and decided not to care about the strange light. I held my breath and pushed my hands forward hard.
Unexpectedly, this door would be effortless to push. However, I also knew that Mia must have helped me a lot.
With the sound of machinery running, the door opened.
The cyan light, through the lenses, burrowed into the helmet.
"It's ...... What......" I said in a choked voice.
"Reality. Mia replied.
In the deepest part, there is a huge sphere, which is connected by countless pipes.
Moreover, the sphere was like the sun, radiating cyan light in all directions. On the surface, you can clearly see that the pieces of data are moving, like small dots.
I gasped and stepped nervously. But just as I put my feet down, there was a sudden light on the ground, and I almost jumped in fright.
But it was not a lamp that shone brightly, but a container buried in the ground.
With a "click", the container slowly rose out of the ground. At the same time, countless of these vessels lit up one after another, and all began to rise.
These containers contain a very turbid liquid. But when it comes to a standstill, the impurities in the liquid begin to settle.
When the liquid became clear, I was surprised to find that there was a person floating inside!
And there was an arm-thick black tube stuck in the back of his head.
"Reality. It said.
