Chapter Ninety-Four: The Silent Film Era (5,000 words)

"Buzz...... Buzz ......"

In the quiet room, the frantically vibrating mobile phone screen was already lit up, and new messages popped up every second.

Lin Tuo was stunned, thinking of the reminder of the Yanhua sand table, a wave of uneasiness surged in his heart, he hurriedly picked it up and looked at it, the news of the crazy swiping of the screen in each group made him unable to understand in an instant, what happened.

After holding down the screen and watching it for more than ten seconds, he finally understood what was going on.

Projection ...... Global Projection ...... Is this what the sandbox calls a data breach? ”

Whispering softly, Lin Tuo Huoran got up, pushed the door and came to the courtyard, raised his head, but there was no abnormal picture scroll in the sky.

"Sure enough...... Is it only in the sky above the megacities of the world...... Why is this happening? Could it be...... Ether? ”

Lin Tuo reacted suddenly.

After all, the concentration of ether is positively correlated with the quantity and quality of the population, so theoretically, the region where the world's large cities are located has the most ether.

At least a few orders of magnitude in Dumping Yang City.

This is the only way to explain what is happening at the moment.

"That candle ruined the sandbox...... Resulting in data breaches.

As a result, in the current Metropolis of the Winton Kingdom, the area where the candle is located is synchronized in real time and projected in reality under the action of some unknown mechanism......"

After sorting out the logic in his mind, Lin Tuo held his breath.

"So, right now, maybe a billion people around the world are watching the 'signal back from the front'? Watching Hathaway and the others chase and intercept the candle?

Or ...... Witness the destruction of a world? ”

And that's because it's late at night!

It's night in the eastern hemisphere and we're still early in the morning in the western hemisphere.

"Calm down, if only a part of the image is leaked, it is not a big problem, the key problem now is that the isolation cover must not be broken, otherwise, once the crazy split cake enters reality, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Lin Tuo took a deep breath, turned around and returned to the study, and came to the sand table.

To the naked eye, the number of those cakes has increased quite a bit.

I don't know if the number has exceeded one trillion...... Or higher units.

Forcibly moving his gaze to the sky above the northern continent, he saw that the clouds of the ether had fallen into violent fluctuations, like a sea of storms on a thunderstorm.

However, the strange thing is that the concentration of ether in the sandbox has not decreased, but has increased.

"Could it be that the power of that candle is not consumed by the ether inside the sandbox, but by itself?"

Lin Tuo frowned and thought.

This is not good news, if its power comes from the sandbox, Lin Tuo can completely use the Qi Eating Method to drain the ether and make it lose its energy source.

But in the current situation, this plan is obviously meaningless.

Lin Tuo even suspected that this item could draw power directly from the "Spirit Realm", after all, what could threaten the sandbox environment could never be inferred from common sense.

"So what to do? From the dimension of the sand table, take out these cakes? No, it has been mixed up with the human kingdom and, once I bring it into reality, will it spread into reality? ”

"Dimensionality reduction strike? Sacrifice millions of people in the metropolis and try to exterminate? ”

This plan is cold-blooded.

Second, even if the dimensionality reduction strike is implemented, there is a high probability that the problem will not be solved.

After thousands of years of development, the power of the extraordinary powerhouses of the Northern Continent is already terrifying, and it is by no means weaker than the simple physical crushing or the high temperature of the laser cannon.

What's worse is that this candle shows the power of "regularization".

Even if you punch down, the other party makes a wish before the fist comes...... It is likely that it will be in vain.

Just as Lin Tuo was thinking about it, probably because the danger level had further increased, the virtual panel on his retina automatically popped up.

[If an outlier in the sandbox environment is detected to break through the warning line, do you enable "Formatting"?] 】

[Note: "Formatting" will irreversibly delete the current sandbox environment data, and all life and matter will return to elementary particles.]

"Formatting?"

Lin Tuo was stunned.

The meaning of this function is very clear, once Lin Tuo is opened, the entire north and south continents, nine islands, and the storm sea ...... Everything in the sandbox will be forcibly deleted and reduced to nothingness.

Obviously, this is a safe means of deriving the sand table.

[Reminder: When abnormal data in the sandbox is about to overflow, formatting is enabled by default]

Seeing the latter reminder, Lin Tuo was silent and closed the virtual panel.

At this moment, his tense heartstrings relaxed slightly.

According to the system description, at present, the power of the candle is still locked inside, and once it is really leaked, the system will automatically implement the "formatting" antivirus.

"At the very least, the worst won't happen." Lin Tuo smiled bitterly, but he couldn't say it was easy in his heart.

Even if there is a sand table to prevent a global catastrophe, the tens of millions of people in the entire No. 2 sandbox, the sea tribe, and the larger population of low-intelligence life will completely disappear.

This is a more complete "world destruction".

And if he wants to stop all this, Lin Tuo must find a solution before formatting.

"Think calmly...... Calm down...... If you think about its characteristics, there must be weaknesses. ”

In the study, Lin Tuo closed his eyes and whispered softly, replaying the information Hathaway had provided before in his mind, as if playing a movie.

Suddenly, a phrase came to mind.

"Remember, Hathaway said that a wish must be fulfilled through human speech...... The transcendents under his command were able to break their tongues and break their control......"

"Say it......"

Chewing on this key information repeatedly, Lin Tuo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately turned around, came to the desk, and looked at the magic books that were arranged in a row and brought back from the sandbox.

His fingers ran through the rows of books, eventually pulling out one of them, placing it on the table, spreading it out.

"Boom la la ......"

As the pages turned, magic runes appeared in front of Lin Tuo's eyes, and finally froze on a certain page.

Without saying a word, he pulled out his chair, sat down, and watched for a moment.

Then lean back in the wicker chair and close your eyes.

Begin to sketch in your mind the corresponding spell rune that can resonate with the spirit world.

……

……

Meanwhile.

On the Internet, the news of global projection has spread rapidly, and more and more people in super cities are stepping out of their homes and looking up at the sky, which is a very amazing scene.

And more people have also joined the ranks of "global movie-watching" through live webcasts and other means.

……

Pacific Ocean, Deep.

The gathering place of scientific research ships from various countries.

The night wind blew the waves with a sleepy sound, but at this moment, none of these ships from all over the world were asleep.

The all-round shots, which were placed on the roof of the cabin, were all pulled up and aimed at the picture scroll in the sky.

In the monitoring cabin, the atmosphere was warm and tense, and everyone was busy, not daring to let go of any abnormal signals that might appear.

In the fleet, on a certain scientific research ship with a dark red bottom and pure white above, a team from China is also trying to communicate with China.

If the current anomaly is just a spectacular spectacle for ordinary people.

For countries, then, it means an unknown hazard that can break out at any time.

“…… There is news from China that similar images have appeared in the sky over 46 large cities around the world! ”

“…… Kyori attaches great importance to it and is already holding an emergency meeting. ”

“…… The latest images taken from the satellite are transmitted back, and the black box is obscured and blurred......"

In the central hall, noisy but methodical sounds echo around you.

One message after another crosses oceans and stars, transmitting and transforming.

No one knows exactly what happened, let alone what will happen next.

"I heard that there are countries along the Pacific Rim that have tried to mobilize warships to prevent and respond to possible dangers."

During the discussion, a bespectacled technician heard a colleague next to him whisper.

"Navy? Has it come to this point? "The person in charge was a little worried.

"It's not good, you have to be prepared," said the colleague, who seemed to feel that the atmosphere was too oppressive, and said in a joking tone, "I hope we can see the sun tomorrow." ”

The person in charge was silent.

He knew the meaning of the joke.

If there is really danger, the people on these ships will inevitably be affected first.

"I'll go out and have a look." There was silence for a moment, he said, and pushed open the hatch to the deck.

Outside, the same people were walking, and the rest of the ships in the distance were also brightly lit.

The person in charge looked up and looked at the sky through the lenses of his glasses.

Probably because of the proximity, the image here has the best "image quality" and the lowest "latency".

At this moment, there have been new changes in the picture like a special effects movie.

……

Winton Kingdom, Metropolis.

"...... Uproar"

The loud sound of the river crashing echoed in his ears, and Grand Imam Hathaway's expression became more and more tense, and the chill on his face became more and more intense.

"Left side!"

She said.

As the words fell, one of the smoke-shrouded transcendents behind him unleashed a magic attack with all his might in the corresponding direction.

This corrects the trajectory of the "Prayer Candle" in front of it.

After separating from the illusion space, Hathaway did not stop for a moment, leading a group of transcendents to bite the prayer candle to the death, and tried to force it out of the city according to Lin Tuo's instructions.

However, the candlestick fluttering in the wind was not so easy to deal with, and it took a lot of effort to force it to the docks.

Arrived, on the "White River" that traverses the entire metropolis.

However, tonight's White River is not calm.

The crazy cake fell into the water, clogging the river and raising the water level, so that the endless river water spread to the whole city, soaking the surrounding urban area into a swamp.

The rushing water overturned boats, flooded buildings on both banks, and washed away vast swaths of factories.

Hathaway, on the other hand, was helpless about it.

"Damn, isn't it all magical?" In the ranks, Bishop Theodore couldn't help but scold.

With continuous pursuits, spell casting, and especially flying with so many people, the magic in this bishop's body was on the verge of exhaustion.

But the candlestick in front of him is still at ease.

"Ready, try again!" Suddenly, Hathaway sensed something and said.

Then, the Grand Imam raised his hand and shook it, and an extremely huge rose phantom appeared in the night sky.

Not just one!

At this moment, Hathaway did her best, and above the White River, a rose garden appeared in the void, and countless blooming, spiky flowers grew wildly, rolling towards the "prayer candle" from all directions.

"Orrod! Neftu! Now is the time! ”

At the same time, Hathaway suddenly shouted.

Then, under the stunned gaze of Theodore and the others, a figure walked out of the front left and right front of the prayer candle at the same time.

Theodore, a tall man, was dressed in a white robe, with bare feet and a solemn face, like a classical stone statue.

When he appeared, the pure white light that had already condensed in his hand bloomed, illuminating the entire dock area.

For a moment, whether it was the rushing river or the cold wind, it was frozen at this moment.

Even the in-flight prayer candle is locked and unable to move.

On the other side, the half-white Archbishop Nevtu calmly raised a scepter in his hand.

The scepter was clearly not large, but in his hand, it seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, and it seemed that just lifting it had exhausted all the strength of this strong man.

With the appearance of the scepter, a "magical vacuum area" was propped up around it, cutting off the connection between this place and the aetheric clouds in the sky.

The two Grand Imams arrived in the Winton capital through the teleportation circle opened by Hathaway at some point!

And ambush here!

"It's now!" Olrod's majestic voice emerged.

"It's now!" Nevtu's old body grew more and more rickety.

"It's now! Attack! Hathaway commanded coldly, pointing forward.

Behind her, hundreds of ecclesiastical transcendents, including Bishop Theodore, simultaneously contemplated, cast spells, and threw forward the strongest attacks.

Among those present, no one knew that at this very moment, in another "world", more than a billion people were watching this battle!

Or rather, even if you know.

I can't be distracted either.

The three powerhouses of the continent joined forces, coupled with more than a hundred high-level transcendentals, it seemed that it was enough to destroy the power of any enemy.

Off-screen.

Among the forty-six large cities scattered all over the earth, countless eyes clearly saw this scene.

Although the sound cannot be heard.

But just by the picture, it is enough for them to feel the tension of the situation in the "video".

If this is really a movie, it seems to have reached the climax of the finale.

At this moment, in forty-six large cities, countless spectators held their breath and clenched their hands, and were emotionally touched by this battle on the White River.

However, in the face of this overwhelming attack.

The short candle that floated in the air, like a ghost, only shook for a moment, and under the candlestick, an invisible passage to the spirit world, a huge amount of ether was absorbed.

Then, a soft circle of light spreads.

In the next second, on both sides of the White River, countless survivors were manipulated at the same moment, turning their heads like puppets, looking at the faint candle flame in the sky, clasping their hands together, and chanting in unison:

"I make a wish......"

"I make a wish......"

"I make a wish......"

Voices are young, old, soft, or hard, but at this moment they converge into one wish, making one wish after another.

In the next second, on the White River, the white light released by Olrod, which almost covered everything, suddenly went out!

The illusion of the rose like a sea disintegrates!

Odrod was gloomy and nearly fell.

The scepter in Nevtu's hand snapped with a click, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Behind Hathaway, hundreds of transcendents suffered a backlash at the same time, unable to sustain it, and fell downward, milky white river!

Lost!

Sure enough, it still doesn't work!

Hathaway's face turned pale and dizzy, trying her best to suppress the injuries caused by the backlash, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Defeated!

It is worthy of being a forbidden thing at the level of world destruction.

The three of them joined forces, and they couldn't stop all this.

"Could it be...... Is there really no way to escape the fate of destruction? ”

Hathaway was discouraged, and then, like a person against the water grasping the last straw, he raised his neck, looked high into the sky, and tried to enter the state of cultivation.

But he could no longer enter the temple.

"Observation makes your lordship...... How long will you need? We...... I can't hold it anymore......"

……

Meanwhile.

The Pacific Ocean, the forty-six large cities, and the people who are watching this image online at the moment are also in a dreary atmosphere.

Just like when watching a movie, people's emotions will be affected and infected by the fate of the characters in the story.

At this moment, when they see this real scene in this way, even if it is just a "silent movie", the huge impact on the soul is still extremely strong.

A small number of sensitive "spectators" even covered their mouths in public and turned their heads away, as if they couldn't bear to see the next scene of world destruction.

There are also many people's eyes looking at the dark night sky with Hathaway in the picture, and they have infinite doubts:

"What is she looking at?"

"Why...... I felt as if she was waiting. ”

"Wait?"

"Yes...... I could feel it, and although I didn't know where the images came from, they ...... I can feel that they haven't given up yet, they are still ...... What awaits ......"

……

……

Leaving the mountain martial arts hall, in the study.

The night was as cool as water, and the room was quiet without a sound.

Under the soft light, in the sand table of evolution placed on the side, the north and south continents and most of the oceans have been covered with cakes.

No one can calculate how many cakes there are in the sandbox at this moment.

The entire sandbox is also about to reach the "safety limit".

But Lin Tuo was just leaning back in the rattan chair, his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping, and in front of him, on the desk, there was a magic book spread out.

On the upward facing page, an intricate rune-like pattern was printed.

"Whoa......

Suddenly, the wind rose in the room, turning the yellowed page, revealing the name of the spell to which the pattern referred, as well as the specific information:

Spell Name: Silence

Cost: 1 mana unit

Range: 10 yards

Effect: The spell coverage area will be completely covered in silence. All sounds are blocked. It is forbidden to talk to anyone, spells containing words cannot be cast, and all sounds cannot be transmitted in and out......

"Bang."

Suddenly, the spread book was closed again by a pair of hands.

At the desk, it was as if Lin Tuo, who had fallen into a deep sleep, woke up at this moment.

In his retina, on the virtual panel, there is already a countdown to automatic "formatting".

However, Lin Tuo's eyes were extremely calm.

Like a silent sea.

When he looked at the sand table beside him, the reflection in his eyes was like a real silent movie.

"I'm sorry, I've been preparing for a while," he whispered softly, a grim smile on his lips, "though, I guess...... It's time for it to end. ”

As he spoke, he slowly raised his right hand and hung it above the sand table, the rune that had finally been outlined in his mind flickered slightly, and a faint black light swept away from his palm and spread.

In an instant.

Between Heaven and Earth...... Swept!
