The cyborg race is a very amazing humanoid race, they look like humans, but in the chest cavity, that is, where the human heart is located, it is not a heart, but a primordial core, and parts such as joints and bones are not calcium, but a strange metal between solid and liquid.

It is precisely for this reason that if a person of the mechanical race dies, even the most ordinary people will have the saying that "it will not rot for a hundred years, and it will not be bad for a thousand years".

Generally, if the corpse of a human being is placed in a room temperature environment without protection, it usually takes only five to ten days for the signs of severe decay, and even the soft tissues will decay into liquid loss in about a month, leaving only moldy bones.

A hundred years? Even if you can find some bones buried in the ground, it would be nice to find some bones, let alone in room temperature.

And even after the death of the people of the mechanical race, even after a hundred years, their bodies will still not decay, and the passage of thousands of years will not destroy their bodies.

But it is such a tribe that claims to be incorruptible for a hundred years and a thousand years, and under the protection of the dormancy pod, the corpse after death is like a rotten and dilapidated metal tatte, even if it is thrown into the hands of the poorest blacksmith in Karenkaya, it will be disgusted.

"Time ......"

Shanna whispered softly, from the fall of the gods, the end of the mythological era, to the modern pan-continent where civilization is revived again, it has been a full 120 million years, even if it is a mechanical race, it is difficult to resist the erosion of time, even the most powerful emperor can only turn into an inconspicuous wave in the long river of time.

She already had a hunch, and the dormant pods in front of her ...... I'm afraid there aren't many robotic people still alive.

Even think about the worst. It is very likely that the twelve ship wives brought out by Captain 883 back then are already the last remnants of the mechanical race.

Unlike the House of the Ethereal, the House of the Ethereal has also gone through a long time. However, the entire Void Plane was almost isolated from the Pan Continent, and there were even the blessings and blessings of twenty-seven gods in itself, and the long time did not affect it much.

And the current dormancy room must have been just a part of a mortal religious building, which could allow twelve ship wives to survive a long time and persist for 120 million years, which is probably the limit of what mortal technology can do.

Sure enough, as one after another dormant pods with dim magical energy lines were opened, Shanna saw corpses that had decayed one after another. Many corpses can even see clear scars and even broken parts of the body, which can imagine how tragic the First World War was back then.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely heavy, even the wolf girl Cindy couldn't sit still. At this moment, I could feel that everyone didn't want to talk much, so I obediently closed my mouth, and just led the two balloons and followed behind everyone slowly.

"Four thousand nine hundred and seventy-two, all dead......"

Shanna moved her throat. Stopped. In the entire dormant room, there were a total of 4,972 bleak dormant sleeping pods, and the cyborg race among them was not surprising to her...... All are dead.

"Fifteen thousand and twenty-nine remaining dormant pods......"

The girl bit her lip and hesitated.

When these dormant pods are opened, will they only see the corpses of the warriors killed in battle by the Cyborg?

But after a few moments, Shanna made up her mind again - she was here to solve the mystery of the mechanical race and promote the Book of Sages to a high-level star, is there anything she can't do?

She made her way to the nearest sleeping pod, and after doing the same thing as before. In a burst of mist, the hatch of the hibernation chamber slowly lifted. Then he slipped to the side, revealing his figure.

"Dead ......" Shana felt it almost instantly, the face was still lifelike, as if the still alive mechanical girl had no breath of life, "If the cause of death of those mechanical race people just now can be attributed to the reason why the hibernation pod stopped working, then this one is ...... Are they really all dead? ”

If they are really all dead, then what are the ancestors of the mechanical race in the mythological era who have worked so hard to protect these clansmen to this day?

Or is there some other reason?

"Sha...... Shana-chan. ”

At this moment, the black cat, who had just fainted, snorted and struggled to wake up, as if what had just happened had not happened at all (in fact, it had forgotten).

"Ah, black cat, you're awake!" Shanna was overjoyed, although she also cherished the feeling of this warm fragrant nephrite in her arms, but now it was not in the Sage Tower, but in a temple that didn't know what secrets were hidden!

If the black cat misses something important because it has been in a coma, wouldn't it be a big loss?

The black cat that had just woken up subconsciously hugged the elf girl's neck, and swept around a little dazedly, and the last pile of scarlet cat pupils stayed on the mechanical girl in the dormant cabin who had completely lost her breath of life.

"Huh, that's weird...... She seems to be alive meow! ”

Shanna's eyes, which had already dimmed a little, brightened up again: "Black cat, do you mean it really?!" ”

"Well, I'm not sure yet, Shana-chan, you put me away...... Put it down~! ”

It wasn't until this time that the cat lady suddenly realized that she seemed to have been being held in a princess posture, and she was hugging the elf girl's neck as if she was fine!

It's very intimate, as if it's a pet and its owner (huh?). It's okay to do anything in the tower, but now there are four outsiders here!

So despite all these years, the black cat, who is still as thin as a white paper, was immediately filled with shyness, and what followed was a burst of chickens and dogs, as for the matter of the mechanical race...... What's that, can you eat it?

For Cat Lady, she may also have the idea of wanting to save the pan-continent, but more often, her world is just that elf girl's alone.

Saving the world is just incidental, it's reality. It's also true.

Although her Insignia of Will has gradually changed since she received the new inheritance, the original guardian has not changed, starting with the Elven Maiden. And then maybe it will come to the world.

"Okay, don't be shy, it's just a few people."

Shanna put the black cat down and helped her pat her cheek to calm down, and the black cat, who had calmed down a little, walked to the sleeping pod with a slightly red face, and put a hand on the mechanical girl.

Immediately, the perception slowly spreads. Scanned it over and over again along the body of the robot girl.

After a few moments, the black cat opened its eyes and looked up. The eyebrows were twisted together: "The soul state is so strange." ”

"Black cat, what the hell is going on, have you found anything?"

Shanna asked curiously, though she specialized in various research skills. But in terms of soul perception, it is not as good as the black cat of the Three Spirit Clan-this is an innate advantage. Until she transcends the constraints of her race, there is still no way to change it for the time being.

"Shanna-chan, yes, this person is not dead—but she is not alive either, but in a strange state between the living and the dead." The black cat rolled his eyes, slapped his little hand and affirmed, "It's like Schrödinger's fat meow!" ”

Shanna was stunned: "...... Isn't that Schrödinger's cat, how did it get fat? ”

"Huh? But I clearly remember that it was the fat meow? ”

"It's got to be a cat! Anyway, I got a perfect score in my college courses! Shanna slapped her chest. "The theory is that a cat was kept in a box by the cat madman Schrödinger. Then blablabla......"

The black cat immediately hugged his head and squatted on defense: "There is really such a change in the world. Status, it's so scary to meow woo woo woo ......"

Well,It seems that the name of the cat madman is still very lethal to the black cat who is a cat lady.,Hey,So next time, maybe you can try to use it for other cats.,For example, Xibei cat、Tiger cat、Super blue cat...... Something like that?

"Strangely somewhere between life and death, but clearly not undead......"

Shanna leaned out a wisp of spiritual power, carefully swept every subtlety of the mechanical girl's body, and finally found something different.

"It's not so much the state between life and death, but rather that her state of life and death is constantly being refreshed, and the state of the soul reaches 'life' every time it is refreshed, and then rapidly decays to 'death', and then refreshes to 'life' at the moment of death, and repeats this cycle repeatedly, while the state of the body is the opposite, from death to life, and then quickly refreshed back to the state of 'death'......"

Shana, who retracted her perception, was not good, and at the same time expressed deep admiration for the ancestors of the mechanical race back then, and it was really hard to be able to make such a state of invincibility.

The soul and body of normal people are starting from "life", constantly changing to the focus of "death", during which there may be highs and lows, but the general trend will not change, but this process is very slow, even ordinary human species may take sixty or seventy years to complete without disease and disaster, and a little longer may be a hundred years.

This is the process of life.

But this process of life and death was compressed to about one hundredths of a second in the body of this robot girl, and then her life and death state was completely undamaged as if it had been refreshed and reset, and then the journey of life and death began again in one hundred thousandth of a second.

What's even worse is that although the soul and body of this mechanical girl are going through such a process of constant reset, the process that the body and soul go through are completely opposite, which means that she is constantly reborn in the process of dying, dead when she is alive, and alive again when she is dead......

――Even Shanna couldn't help but wonder if this situation could be written into a textbook with 1 G in the table of contents if it was taken out for research alone?!

"Okay, the predecessors of the mechanical race are really great, and our generation has to obey ......"

Shanna was helpless, neither her own memories nor the memory fragments of the twenty-seven gods contained any information related to this strange life form, so she didn't dare to do it casually, lest breaking this state cause any bad consequences.

After opening more than a dozen dormant pods in a row, Shanna was completely helpless.

The cyborg races in these dormant pods, male and female, were not as rotten and dilapidated as the four thousand or so that had been before, but were lifelike. As if alive.

-- It's really "as if" or the same, these mechanical people are all in this strange state of neither life nor death!

However, the system does not have any prompts, indicating that this step is definitely not a complete task. There was something more for her to dig deeper.

So here's the problem......

Is there anything left here that hasn't been excavated?

Shanna sighed, retracted her gaze, and swept her eyes around, this sleeping room was very wide under the effect of the spatial expansion magic array, otherwise it would not be able to fit twenty thousand and one sleeping pods.

Wait a minute!

Twenty thousand...... Zero one?

Why twenty thousand and one?

Why do you know the number 20,000 and one?

Shanna raised her eyebrows, suddenly realizing something was wrong.

When I was in the House of the Ethereals. Because all the Mishaki individuals she saw were alive and floating around, she didn't care much about the total number of Mishaki.

But that number is about 20,000, and I don't know the exact number.

And in general. People always like integers, whether it's counting or planning numbers, integers are often the most popular, if you want to design a questionnaire. Let the designer choose to survey 19,999 people. 20,000 people, or 20,000 people, I believe that almost all designers will subconsciously choose 20,000 people instead of the other two numbers.

"Twenty thousand and one, there must be something wrong with the last one...... Twenty thousand and one ......"

How could he suddenly have the idea that there must be twenty thousand and one hibernation pods here?

The girl muttered a few words, and the spiritual power of the peak of the epic suddenly spread, enveloping the entire sleeping room.

Previously, she didn't have the mental strength to directly probe the situation in the dormant pods, because these dormant pods have their own anti-snooping functions. If a psychic force invades the inside, it will immediately cause the device to lock up and shut down - she is not here to play hacking.

And now Shanna's mental power is only to find the twenty-thousand-one hibernation pod. Therefore, it only swept through the exterior of many dormant pods, and did not intrude into the interior, so there was no need to worry about triggering the vigilance of the automatic defense of the dormant pods.

"I'll see...... Let me see...... Well, there you have it! ”

Soon, Shanna locked her eyes on one of the sleeping pods.

Although this hibernation pod looks the same as all the other hibernation pods, it has one big difference - it's too small!

If the other dormant pods are all coffin-shaped, even the twelve dormant pods where the twelve Douding shipwives of 883 are located have a size of more than one meter.

But the size of this sleeping pod is too small at the moment, only the size of an adult male human's hand, if it weren't for Shanna's mental power scanning several times to confirm that it is indeed a dormant pod, she would even think that it is a raised brick.

"What the hell is such a small hibernation pod......

Shanna's figure flashed, and she appeared next to the miniature sleeping pod, her expression full of doubts, and she couldn't help muttering, "What can such a small hibernation pod hold......?"

The shipwives of the 883 subspecies of the cyborg already need a hibernation pod of about one meter, even if the volume of the hibernation pod is not completely proportional to the size of the cyborg race, Shanna can't think of what can be contained in such a small hibernation pod.

A pee-sized subspecies of cyborg?

Not a robot race at all, but something else?

With a hint of apprehension, Shanna reached out and pressed on the palm-sized sleeping pod, and her spiritual power penetrated and quickly operated.

Soon, the light on the miniature hibernation pod grew brighter and brighter, and finally turned into a curtain of light, projected into the air in a half-arc.

It didn't take long for pictures to emerge on the pure white picture, one after another tragic battles.

There was no sound, but everyone could see that it was an unprecedentedly tragic war, and all the living forces of the entire ancient pan continent were put into it, and twenty-seven gods advanced to participate in the war......

War of Scourge!

Shanna immediately recognized the scene in the frame.

In the picture, the delicate puppet-like mechanical race people themselves are like the most powerful and sharp blades, blooming with a thousand brilliant and colorful lights, rushing towards the strange gray-brown pattern mist that permeates the sky.

"Woe to you!"

Shanna spit out this word, staring at the calamity in the picture, among the various memories she had received before, the memories of "calamity" were all incomplete, even the memories of the gods, she had guessed that this was probably the corrosive effect of calamity, and even the ethereal memory, the history and inheritance passed down by word of mouth also produced an extremely strange erosive effect!

This time, it can be said that it is the first time that she has seen the existence of "woe" intuitively in a real sense.

Most of the images I had seen in various memories and illusions before were only eerie, distorted, and ruined gray-brown, and a depressing atmosphere filled the chest.

And now, not only was this repression more pronounced, but for the first time, she even clearly saw the strange and twisted lines that seemed to be patterns, the misty shapes, and ......

Bloody battle!

I don't know how long it took, but the atmosphere in the sleep room was oppressive, and the picture on the light curtain finally ended.

Shanna took a deep breath and adjusted her mentality, she knew very well that the purpose of the ancient mechanical race to leave this dormant pod, which was suspected to be a projection device, was by no means just for future generations to see these images.

After these images, there must be a message they want to convey!

Sure enough, when all the pictures disappeared, the color of the bright white light curtain gradually became monotonous and vicissitudes, as if it were ......

"The Corridor of the Heroic Soul!"

Shanna remembered the Corridor of the Valhalla she had seen in Sky City, and although the two were not the same, there were many similarities.

As the names and their exploits appeared on the screen, the voice finally sounded for the first time next to the silent picture.

The voice was low and hoarse, slowly echoing throughout the dormant chamber.

"O the creatures of the Hereafter! If you can read this message, it means that we have succeeded in preserving the spark of hope for future generations! And now, whether or not there are various natural and man-made disasters in your world, you have to remember what follows...... This is the resolution of the Elven race that is common to us of the Hirowan, and we call it ......

- 'Afterlife' Project!! (To be continued......)
