Chapter 444: Black Worm
Wei Chi Chi fell into a huge contradiction, and this contradiction stemmed from distrust. Once because of the death of his parents, he was suspicious of everything around him, and just wanted to be an ordinary policeman in that small police station in Chinatown to repay Wang Lun's nurturing. Later, because of the appearance of Chu Xia and others, he embarked on an adventure, during which he finally established trust with Chu Xia, Hou Wan and others, but he didn't expect that everything was based on the story that Lone Army had written a long time ago.
Without that trust, Wei Chiran couldn't establish any trust here in 517, although He Changqing sometimes made himself feel warm, but he couldn't see what He Changqing's ultimate goal was to do.
Most importantly, if what the Saker told itself before was true, what was the point of what it had actually done?
While Tang Qianlin was taking pictures and researching there, Wei Chiran sat on the side, sorting out his thoughts.
Based on all the clues, the dimensional people are actually the marginal people, and the marginal people are the real humans. Real humans exist in the real world, because the world they live in has been destroyed, so they created the artificial intelligence of Edge, combined with the brains and spirits of the remaining humans, to create a virtual source world, trying to make people satisfied in the virtual world.
The source world is the same as the real-world game developed by Lone Army, and there are a large number of real humans in the source world, some of whom are aware that they are in a virtual world, while others choose to erase their memories and live in a state of confusion. Some of them discovered the irrationality that existed in the source world, that is, that history was always circulating, and they broke the cycle.
(The event referred to here refers to one of the different culture series, "The Man Who Opened the Coffin at Midnight")
After the endless cycle of the source world was broken, the source world was split into ten parallel worlds, and Aiqi, who was originally responsible for the management of the source world, was also split into ten, each responsible for ten parallel worlds. However, in this process, Ai Qi found that the established virtual world could be materialized in a special way, that is, the ten parallel worlds split from the source world could be reintegrated to replace the real world.
When she thought of this, Wei Chiran thought of the Ai Qi she met on Beisen Island, this Ai Qi seemed to be a rebel, so she reminded Wei Chiran and the others that there were cracks between the parallel worlds, and when these cracks became bigger and bigger, the ten parallel worlds would reintegrate and integrate into the original source world.
In other words, most of the people who originally existed in the ten parallel worlds would disappear as a result, and for those who existed in these worlds, it would be the end of the world.
Lone Army was the first person to learn about this, so Lone Army has been trying to find a way to stop this, and they have made two preparations, one is to collect the treasures of the twelve sects, because the Celestial Beings have said that even if there are ten parallel worlds, there are only twelve Arcana Treasures in the ten worlds, no more, no less. And these twelve treasures should be directly related to preventing destruction.
Second, based on the knowledge of the celestial beings and the brains of some people in this world, Lone Army developed the game "Real World" and created a virtual world.
Real humans use Aiqi to create a virtual world, and the lone soldier in the virtual world plans to concoct the same method and build another virtual world in the virtual world.
However, if the world they live in is integrated and destroyed, won't the virtual world created by the lone army also cease to exist?
Therefore, the treasures collected by the lone army must have a direct relationship with their establishment of the virtual world.
Thinking of this, Wei Chi was a little scared, it seemed that he was the only one who knew all the truth except for some people in the Lone Army, and the Lone Army had to use him and cling to 517 to find the remaining treasure.
From the point of view, the lone army is right, and 517 is no problem, so is it possible to make 517 and lone army cooperate? Gather the power of all the people of this world to stop the destruction of the world?
Wei Chiran asked Saker Chi in his heart, "Why don't you cooperate with 517?" ”
The falcon replied bluntly: "Because of distrust, we only trust ourselves, we only do what we are sure of, people are different from person to person, not to mention between organizations, some organizations are based on the country, and we are alone on the basis of survival, which is completely different, so even if we cooperate, there will be great differences." ”
Wei Chi asked: "But you must know that if you don't gather everyone's strength, you can't fight it." ”
Saker said, "As long as we collect twelve Arcana, we will succeed." ”
Wei Chi asked again: "If you tell me your ultimate goal, I can choose to help you." ”
"You don't have to choose, because we're choosing for you," Saker said. ”
Wei Chiran felt a burst of fear in his heart, although he felt that his thinking was not controlled, but for so long, hadn't he been moving forward according to the script arranged by the lone army?
If the Saker wasn't in his body now, maybe it would be easier, but he was one with himself, and he knew exactly what he was doing and thinking.
Wait, how did Fang Xunyi and Sima Qing disappear? If we find out how they disappeared, can we find a way to deal with the Saker?
I can't ask anyone for help in this matter, so I can only figure it out by myself.
Wei Chiran's thoughts were naturally also peeped at by the falcon, he just smiled coldly and didn't say anything.
After Tang Qianlin finished taking the photo, he came to the quagmire, squatted there and watched, and then looked at the braziers around him, as well as the well-preserved utensils, wondering what this place was for.
Wei Chi stepped forward and said, "Is this place used to refine the undead by sewing thousands of corpses in ancient times?" ”
"I can't rule out this possibility," Tang Qianlin stared at the quagmire, "Is there something in this quagmire?" ”
Tang Qianlin said, picking up the wooden stick next to him and stabbing it into the black quagmire.
In Wei Chiran's memory, the quagmire in the Holy Land of Crying Village was not black mud, but some black worms, but the quagmire in front of him was indeed black mud.
Tang Qianlin put a part of the black mud into the analyzer he carried with him: "Now that technology is really developed, if there were these things in the past, many people would not have died because of this." ”
Soon after the analyzer was turned on, a flurry of data appeared on the screen.
Wei Chiran couldn't understand: "What is written?" ”
Tang Qianlin raised his eyebrows and said: "The bacteria are exceeded, there are many unknown substances, this kind of instrument cannot be analyzed so accurately, generally speaking, it is used to measure the quality of water, so don't touch these black mud with your hands." ”
As he spoke, Tang Qianlin got up and stirred into the black mud with his lower phoenix gun, and soon, his face changed: "There is something underneath, and it is very large, like a cabinet." ”
Wei Chiran squatted there and watched, and then raised his eyes to look at the statue of the so-called god in front of him, yes, the people of this world will indeed regard those real humans as gods, just like programmers who have walked into the game they have designed, and can design everything by themselves, and will naturally be treated as gods by the people in the game.
"Why put that thing down?" Tang Qianlin stood there and said to himself, "If it is refining the living dead, it should be taken out if you put it down, but how can you take it out?" ”
Tang Qianlin looked around, Wei Chiran was also looking around, and finally Tang Qianlin's eyes were fixed on several braziers around, there was something similar to charcoal in the brazier, but it was not like charcoal, it was much harder than charcoal, and it could not be lit by lighting it with fire.
Wei Chiran's attention was always on the statue, and for some reason, the statue had a special attraction for him, making him feel as if the statue was calling him no matter where he looked or what he was doing.
He walked to the statue and went around to it, where he found a pattern behind it, apparently a plan around the quagmire, with Roman numerals engraved next to the six braziers, from I. to VI., and a strange symbol in the center of the quagmire.
Wei Chiran couldn't understand the symbol, at this time Tang Qianlin also walked to the back of the quagmire, looked at it for a while and said: "That symbol that looks like a hand with ripples is the meaning of the ancient primitive worship, similar to the earliest hieroglyphs, and later it was thought to be taking water, the words created by ancient humans in the past were very cumbersome at first, for example, picking up a wooden stick is a separate symbol, and picking up a stone is also a separate symbol, but this is not easy for people to remember, and later, all the actions about taking it were simply integrated into one word." ”
Wei Chiran asked, "What does this mean?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "My analysis, it should be that we put the black mud in the quagmire in the order of Roman numerals in the six braziers, but what is the result of doing this, it is not written on it, let's take a look, probably we missed it." ”
However, there was no other pattern on the statue, so the two had to return to the quagmire, and carefully put the black mud in the mire into the six braziers in the order shown in the following pictures. When the black mud was poured into the brazier, the charcoal-like thing in it melted away, and when it dissolved, countless black worms emerged from it and swam from the six braziers into the mire in the center.
Seeing this, Wei Chiran and Tang Qianlin retreated again and again, they didn't know if that kind of black worm was aggressive, so they were ready to flee at any time.
Soon, a surprising scene happened, after those black worms entered the quagmire, they began to roll in the quagmire, and black foam also bulged in the quagmire, and the foam quickly disappeared, and the worms floating on the surface also disappeared, and then a black object covered in black mud slowly rose from the quagmire.
"It's a coffin," Tang Qianlin said, pointing to the black object, "It's actually a coffin." ”
The coffin was placed vertically in the mire, and there were countless worms surging at the bottom of the coffin end, and it seemed that the "charcoal" of the coagulated worm must be dissolved with black mud, and then the worms could be allowed to enter the quagmire to hold the coffin.
After the black coffin was held up, a part of the black worms climbed onto the surface of the coffin, quickly covering it, and it took more than ten minutes before slowly fading away and sliding back into the mud below.
When the worms covering the surface faded, the black color on the surface of the coffin disappeared, and the two realized that it was a pure white coffin.
