Chapter 191: Noah's Ark
The enigmatic Chamber of Darkness is constantly unraveling its mysteries.
It's been a while since I've been in this room.
Under the effect of the golden ball, the cold glow in the room gradually faded and was replaced by a warm gold.
Although the air was still bitterly cold, I was able to see my surroundings clearly.
"It's empty, there's nothing." Lingling said as she continued to throw the ball in front of her.
With a "gurgling" sound, the golden ball quickly purified another corner.
At this moment, all four corners of the dark room were revealed.
There is no other exit except for the small emerald gate when it came.
"We've come a long way along the wall." Lingling said, "Let's go and have a look in the middle." ”
"Hmm." Ziqi said with a frown.
Although the four corners were clear, the center of the house was still shrouded in cold light, like a mist.
"Brother Ziqi, you have to believe in Lord Poker." Lingling comforted Ziqi while throwing the ball again.
She could tell from Ziqi's face that he was worried.
When he saw the perseverance faintly revealed on Ling Ling's handsome face, Ziqi was relieved.
"You're right." Ziqi responded with a smile.
When the poker master yelled at the two to leave, he was at a loss and out of order. It was Lingling who resolutely pulled himself into this dark room.
Lingling, this little girl, is far more resolute than herself, and far stronger than herself.
"Gollum ......"
This time, Lingling threw it very hard, and the ball rolled far away, burrowing into the misty cold, and disappeared without a trace.
"Ah, oops." Lingling covered her mouth and muttered quietly.
At this moment, a crisp sound came from where the ball had disappeared.
"Jingle bells."
The sound is very pleasant, like the sound of hitting a xylophone.
"Like, hit something?" Ling Ling said softly.
"Hmm."
"We can only wait, the cold light ahead has not disappeared, we can't go over for the time being."
"Hmm."
"Still worried about Poker?"
"Nope." Ziqi scratched his hair and said, "You're right, we should trust Master Poker." ”
"Then let's take this opportunity to observe the situation around us." Lingling said with a smile.
"Okay."
Although the outer perimeter of the Dark Room is covered with golden light, which is not only warm but also has a strong healing effect, it is not very effective in lighting.
These lights don't seem to be reflected, scattered, or anything like that. Although the ground is glittering with gold and clear and bright, the brightness decreases sharply as the altitude rises. At a height of half a meter, the light has been completely attenuated, and then it is blurred upwards.
Fortunately, the ceiling of the dark room is not dark, it is transparent, and even faintly emits white light.
"It's strange, what kind of material is this made of?" Lingling looked up and said.
"You mean the ceiling?" Ziqi asked.
"Yes." Lingling pointed to the ceiling and said, "Look, it's dark up there, but it's not dark on this ceiling. ”
"Yes, not only is it not black, but it also emits a faint white light."
"This light doesn't look like the ubiquitous cold light in the Chamber of Darkness?"
"That's a bit like that." Ziqi stared at the ceiling tightly and said, "Although I didn't touch these lights, it always gave people a cold feeling. ”
"It's like a big piece of ice on our heads." Lingling said.
"Ice?"
Ziqi suddenly felt that a thought flashed through his mind, but he couldn't remember it when he tried to remember.
"It's really like ice." Ling continued, "Not only is it cold but it's almost transparent, and I seem to be able to see the world above the ceiling faintly. ”
"But it's pitch black up there, too." Ziqi said, "We don't know how deep we are underground now, even above this ceiling, it must be in the abyss. ”
Ziqi was right, there was also a dark world above the ceiling. It was as if the darkness was one, separated by a block of ice that emitted a faint cold light.
"Brother Ziqi!" Ling Ling suddenly shouted, "If you look closely, is there a huge black shadow on it?" ”
"A huge black shadow?" Ziqi muttered quietly as he observed more closely.
It's an indescribable picture, as if you're in a vast, dark corner of the universe, surrounded by no galaxies, no nebulae, not even a single glowing star.
The only thing visible to the naked eye is a large faint white expanse. It is like a fragment of a long-lost star, adrift alone in the universe, telling people about their last glory.
Walking through the fragments, Ziqi really saw a huge shadow, although there was only a vague outline.
What is it?
A god in the universe?
What does it want to do behind the corpses of stars?
"Moved, moved?" Ling Ling said in disbelief, "Brother Ziqi, have you seen it?" That huge shadow moved? ”
"Like, it really moved?" Ziqi kept rubbing his eyes and said.
Could it be that there is something alive above the "ice"?
"No, it's not moving, it's moving all the time, like, it's like breathing." Ling Ling said with his mouth covered.
"yes, it's been moving, very slowly." After careful observation, Ziqi finally believed that it was not an illusion.
Although it was pitch black above the ice, there was something even darker. It is precisely because of this darker existence that he can recognize it.
The blurred lines were as big as a hill, like an aging heart, jumping and beating.
"I see." Lingling suddenly pointed to the pitch-black silhouette and said, "This, this is the giant beast!" ”
"Behemoths? Lingling, you say it's a behemoth? Ziqi asked in surprise, "The place above our heads is where the giant beasts are raised?" ”
"Yes." Ling Ling said with certainty, "All the roars we heard before came from here, and this vague shadow that obscured the sky and the sun was the giant beast raised by the Wind Turbine Bureau. ”
"Then it's in ......"
"Sleep?"
Lingling muttered to herself at first, and soon she was convinced of her words.
"Yes, it's sleeping. It was clear that the slow heaving of the pitch-black mass was breathing. Ling Ling still covered his mouth and said, "That means that the giant beast hasn't eaten yet, and Ah Zao is probably still alive?" ”
"Great!" Ziqi shouted excitedly.
"But, but the guy on Number 1 said that the beasts eat at noon, isn't it noon yet?"
"Nope." Ling Ling shook his head and said, "It's already past noon at this time, and it's even dusk. ”
"Then why hasn't the beast woken up yet?"
"I guess it might have something to do with the final ceremony." Lingling said.
"The final ceremony? Is it the final festival in front of the world of the senses? ”
"Yes." Ling Ling nodded and said, "It's the final ceremony." ”
"So what the hell is it?"
"In front of the sensory world, when I told me about the giant beast, Lord Dahai seemed to be taken aback." Ling Ling frowned and recalled, "That's what he said at the time, since you know about the giant beast, I can't think of you as someone who strayed into the bureau anymore, and for the sake of the smooth progress of the final ceremony, I must destroy you." ”
"Yes, that's what he said at the time."
"In other words, the festival didn't start in the end, and the giant beast didn't eat, could there be some kind of connection?"
"Contact?"
"Let's assume that the eating of the giant beast is the final ceremony." Ling Ling said loudly.
"No, isn't it?" Ziqi argued, "Every day at noon, the giant beast eats. ”
"Perhaps, this time is different."
"What's the difference?"
"We can't think of this giant beast as an ordinary animal." Ling Ling looked at Ziqi and said, "This giant beast is extremely mysterious, few people have seen its true face, and even its origin is almost unknown. ”
"Like, it seems like some mysterious person brought the giant beast two years ago."
"Yes." Ling Ling pointed to the figure above his head and said, "But it's basically impossible to transport such a behemoth without people seeing it. ”
"That means it was very young two years ago?"
"That's all we can say, but it's amazing how long we can grow in two years."
"You're right, we can't treat it like an ordinary animal. There must be some secret in this that we don't know. ”
"I've analyzed that the existence of the Great Harbor is to raise this giant beast." Ling Ling continued to analyze, "And today is the day of the final ceremony, which means that this giant beast will be raised today?" ”
"Feeding complete?"
"The reason why such a prosperous port can be built on this island is to feed such a giant beast." Ling Ling looked at Ziqi and said, "Who do you think has the ability to do such a thing?" ”
"God? Watarami-sama? Or some oracle? When Ziqi said this, the majestic figure of the Pai Gow Master unconsciously appeared in his mind.
A brush with the barrel down and the tip up for the pen?
"The camel god seems to have such an ability, after all, she has networked a lot of people over the years, and she has also built such a 'Noah's Ark'."
"No, Noah's Ark?" Ziqi repeated in disbelief.
Although every word Ling Ling had just said was surprising, these words together were not as stunned as the words "Noah's Ark".
Because Ziqi understands that this is a game, and those amazing things are just a story in this game world. But Noah's Ark is different, because these four words come from another world.
The real world outside of the game!
How could Lingling know these four words?
"Ah......" Lingling immediately covered her mouth with her little hand as if she had slipped her mouth.
"Lingling, how did you know about Noah's Ark?"
Ziqi stared at Lingling's side face and asked word by word.
