Chapter 302: The Hope of Salvation
"Zuo Yurui, they are ...... False god dependents? But I remember that the false gods seemed to be ...... Yiyi? The phantom's eyes widened, and his brain couldn't keep up with the Grey Wing King's train of thought. The special task force of the Lantern Shadow family, passers-by with human feelings, the phantom has always known that they are special, a strange among tens of thousands of passers-by, but they never thought that their particularity is related to that false god.
"Yes, they are individuals created by the Lamp Shadow Family using the power of the same origin as the pseudo-gods...... If you can investigate, you will find that they are all people with no past...... They have no parents and are almost all alternative androids born in petri dishes. They grew up immersed in the same energy as the pseudo-gods, and when they grew up to a suitable age, they were transformed into passers-by - which is why the current Einsatzgruppen is here. ”
"What! Then this is too ......" The phantom opened his mouth, and was actually a little speechless.
Such a life...... How similar to myself.
"Yes, what happened to them...... I have a common language with you, and we are all creatures that have been 'made' for a certain purpose, and I don't even know if I am a complete person without that purpose...... I guess that's why they're more friendly to you. The Graywing King said faintly, "If we are not mistaken, the creation of the Einsatzgruppen is also known as the Pseudo-God Dependent, in order to accumulate experience for the 'God-making' operation that was still in the preparatory stage at that time for the Lantern Shadow Family. ”
"Mouse ......," the phantom muttered to himself, "no wonder Passerby X would say that they were all guinea pigs......"
"In this way, the matter is simple - the power of false gods is not something that human flesh and blood can bear. If they continue to be eroded by the power of God, their bodies will inevitably be overwhelmed, and their lifespan will inevitably be greatly shortened...... But at this point, the Lamp Shadow family lied. The Grey Wing King stared into the phantom's eyes, "You want to know...... What kind of lie? ”
"Yes!" The Phantom said categorically, sitting up straight and looking at the Graywing King intently.
It was only at this moment that he realized that he didn't know when, he actually cared so much about Zuo Yurui. Maybe it's not just that he is taking care of her, but the girl has also brought a kind of rebirth to himself - in the past few days together, he feels "I am me" for the first time.
"This kind of longevity ...... It's not inexplicable. The Grey Wing King said calmly.
There was a brief silence, and the phantom's eyes widened.
"You heard me right, and I didn't say it wrong. The reason for their death is the erosion of the power of the pseudo-god - as long as the pseudo-god takes back that part of the power, isn't it? The narrow corners of the Grey Wing's mouth made a smiling gesture, "Yiyi can save them all, including your favorite Zuo Yurui - of course, Yiyi is also the only person in this world who can save them." ”
"Really! That's really...... That's great! The Phantom was in high spirits for a moment, and even ignored the taunt of the Grey Wing King, "As long as the false gods can make a move, they will all survive!" Just ......"
The Grey Wing King waved his claws: "Forgive me for having to interrupt your enthusiasm, although Yiyi has the ability to save them, but you know, why did Yiyi do that?" As a false god, even if Yiyi is not an ally of the Awakened, she is definitely not on the side of the Light Shadow Family...... Even, due to Xiao Yao's death, she is already dying
Abandon the position of absolute neutrality, and instead begin to hate the Lampshadow family. ”
"That ......" Phantom was speechless, although he had not seen Yiyi, but he also knew very well that in such a situation, it was impossible for Yiyi to help the Lantern Shadow family, and it was impossible for him to save the Special Operations Team as a passerby.
Unless...... The phantom suddenly thought of an idea, and it was so outrageous that he couldn't even speak!
"Very well, you thought about that, too...... If you really want to save Zuo Yurui, then this is the next thing you have to do - rebel against the Einsatzgruppen! ”
……
"So, without that 'token', we have to go home? Little Sister ...... This is the northernmost snow wasteland on the planet...... Is it easy for everyone to travel thousands of miles? Dong Bin looked at Edith speechlessly.
Edith stroked a tuft of her blonde hair with her fingers, and lowered her head embarrassedly: "That city of stars...... It is under the protection of the 'astrolabe system', and if there is no 'token', then even if you walk past the city gate, you won't be able to see a brick, and even my father won't be able to go back......"
"Oh my God...... Isn't that the birthplace of your family for thousands of years? After spending so much time there, you didn't study the astrolabe at all? Dong Bin said with a wry smile.
"This ...... That's really something far ahead of its time, and it's great that we've been able to develop a few 'tokens'......" Edith replied weakly.
Dong Bin sighed helplessly: "It's not development...... You're just using the dregs of that civilization. It's hard to throw something so important into a glacier crevasse for you. ”
"I'm not...... Accidentally! I woke up this morning and found ......," Edith retorted with a red face.
Yes, the extremely important "token" that could open the door to the "City of Stars" was lost in the depths of the glacier crevasse by this careless girl when Edith was testing Dong Bin's reliability last night, and she didn't find out about it until this morning......
"Forget it, don't pursue this matter...... But what are you going to do next? Can you find a new 'token' when you go home? Dong Bin said helplessly.
"I ...... There are no guarantees...... But for a long time, there have been five or six 'tokens' of the Typhon family lost in the outside world, let's look for one in the outside world, maybe ......" Edith's voice became smaller and smaller, and it was obvious that the more this girl spoke, the less confident she became.
Dong Bin quickly understood that there was a probability that he could find a new "token", but it was estimated that it would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey...... At that time, it was optimistically estimated that the grass on the grave of the City of Stars had grown three feet......
In last night's sincere exchange, Edith didn't lie this time, and told everything in detail-
In fact, many of the things she told before are true, Edith suddenly received that dream when she was out shopping for supplies, and only then did she learn that the Typhon family was in crisis and self-lockdown. She knew the family very well, and she immediately realized that the curse in the family's blood might have exploded.
Then when she was hesitating in Icefield Town and didn't know what to do next, she suddenly met Dong Bin, the "son of fate for a hundred years" certified by her father, and "the person destined to save the Typhon family", so she became a dead horse and took Dong directly
Bin decides to go back and save his home and loved ones.
Destiny is really a wonderful thing.
Dong Bin was very satisfied with Edith's honesty and calmness, but he didn't expect that this girl would have such a problem - dropping the chain at a critical time! The "token" that entered the City of Stars was lost by her!
But this is not the time to blame her, the little girl is much more anxious than herself, her face is so red that she is almost about to cry. Dong Bin had to sigh silently - sure enough, everything will not go well.
"Then I'll make sure for the last thing - can you be sure that it really fell into that crevasse in the glacier yesterday?" Dong Bin stood up, looked into Edith's eyes and asked.
"Yes!" Edith nodded vigorously, "I had been in good care before that. ”
"What's the shape of that token?"
"It's just a piece of metal, irregularly shaped, with even sharp edges...... Well, that's a piece of the astrolabe that has fallen, and the material is too strong for us to work ......"
"That's easy...... Deep in the cracks, low temperatures, lack of oxygen, darkness, these are difficult problems for humans, but for me - just a little uncomfortable. Dong Bin showed a confident smile, "Let the little ones take the guys, let's go!" ”
"You're going to ......"
"Remember to get me a sturdy rope and a miner's lamp to wear overhead...... You should be able to get all kinds of equipment like this, right? Dong Bin smiled gently at the girl who was about to cry.
Boys, sometimes they just have to take care of girls more.
About half an hour later, Dong Bin regretted it a little.
Along the crevasses of the glacier, little by little. The cold seeped into his body from all directions, and even his joints made a clicking sound as if they were frozen. It was getting darker and darker, and the sunlight overhead seemed to be a long time away, and a lone miner's lamp overhead was powerless to bring enough light.
It was all expected, and he could barely bear it. But what he didn't expect was that the most painful thing was the claustrophobic environment. It was as if the whole world was shrinking, and the two cold walls of ice seemed to be about to crush themselves. As the space becomes narrower and the movement becomes more and more restricted, I can't help but have a suffocating illusion.
"I finally get it...... Why is there such a thing as claustrophobia......" muttered to himself, recalling in his mind the shape of the "token" that Edith had told him, Dong Bin continued to grasp the rope and move down with the characteristic iron claws installed on his feet.
"This glacier crack seems to be quite new, it must have been cracked in the past two days, right?" Stroking the smooth ice section, Dong Bin made a judgment. I just don't know what kind of stress exists in the depths of the glacier to create such a spectacle.
Sighing in his heart, the iron claws on Dong Bin's feet slammed into the place where it should have been the ice, trying to create the next foothold-
This time, the iron claws on the feet pierced into the warm, soft biological tissue.
Dong Bin's blood instantly coagulated.
He had penetrated more than a hundred meters deep into the glaciers of the Arctic, and here, how could he possibly come into contact with living biological tissues? What is it that has been frozen in the depths of the ice, which has been indissolved for thousands of years, and still remains biologically active?
