This is a huge palace, as if it was specially designed for the giant god who can stand up to the sky and the earth and support the galaxy in the universe, with columns, beams, and domes all extending to infinity height.

They are made entirely of radiant flames, but they seem to be the main material of something ethereal and supple and malleable, as if they were both an imagination projected by consciousness and a real substance.

A brilliant halo of light burned brilliantly on the surface of the entire palace, swirling like a kaleidoscope, changing from time to time, and the magnificence was indescribable.

Moreover, this palace is infinitely huge to the point of almost terrifying, far exceeding everything in the earthly world, and in the light above the dome, I don't know if it has touched the vacuum aether that only the crazy planets rotate and move.

- Needless to say, this is indeed the palace of a giant god!

It was empty enough to hold an entire world, and the tiny human being stepped into it was like an ant climbing on the steps of the tallest castle on earth.

“……”

“……”

Everyone was speechless, everyone was trembling.

Their intellect was desperately denying what was in front of them, and they were even so mad that they were desperately wondering if they were waiting for the others before the action began...... Asleep? That's right! That's right! It must be so!

Otherwise, how can we explain what we are seeing? How could such a scenario be possible in the real world?

Although they simply don't know. Jacob led them through a passage hidden in the Lost City, and I don't know how far they went, but it shouldn't have been!

Because it doesn't matter if it's Kit City, or the space under the ice, or the Siberian wilderness above the surface......

It is absolutely impossible for such a magnificent palace of a giant god to be hidden on earth, and it has never been discovered by humans!

- So, what the hell is going on!

Jacob paid no attention to the stunned crowd, but stood quietly to the side, as if it was his task to guide the way, and now his task was accomplished.

"Welcome, this is the first time we've met...... But I won't introduce myself, after all, you probably won't have heard of me......"

Some kind of grandiose ...... Voices? Anyway, in human understanding, it sounds like a voice is ringing.

But in fact, it was not a language, nor was it a real voice, as if it was some kind of thought, directly in everyone's minds.

It seems to be some kind of melody, but it is not any melody that belongs to the earth. And there seems to be a strange chant, grand and boundless, echoing in the huge palace, as if the echoes never end.

was even wrapped in irresistible coercion, washing everyone's bodies and souls in an instant.

A wave of dizziness came over them, and then they felt an even more intense fear at the same time, which seemed to be magnified thousands of times in an instant, so that there was no horror in their lives compared to this time.

In the midst of this devastating thought, they trembled as they looked at the end of what seemed to be a great palace of brilliant burning flames, and saw a ...... sitting on the distant throne One......

What's that?!

It sat on the distant seat, looking down at the place in a condescending manner, but behind it was not a blazing brilliant light, but a space that was constantly changing in twists and turns, as if the mirror had broken and appeared one after another.

In one of them, there are intermittent visions, many strange sights, such as strange and strange stars, strange metal spires, and huge land overhanging in the sky......

It is as if the doors to a huge kingdom are constantly changing.

Everyone's mind went blank, and they could only stare at it tightly, trying to grasp any information that could be exploited, thus constructing an impression in their minds that each other could understand.

At least geometry that humans can understand.

However – this may seem like a very difficult job, even a job that would make anyone's brain feel desperate.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that there is only a pair of clear and indifferent eyes, neither indescribable chaos, nor any signs of hideous and terrifying, just a calm gaze.

They were undoubtedly convinced that behind the eyes they and others had seen was a very organized mind, not some blind chaotic chaos.

However, in this interlacing of gazes, they are hopelessly afraid, and only feel that their SAN value is declining wildly...... This is a terrifying existence, all of them, all their strength, all their scheming, all their struggles, how small they are before such an existence.

— like an insignificant speck of dust, worthless.

Especially when it comes to the mythical scenes around them, the powerlessness of mortals makes them extremely desperate. The more they are forced to recognize the reality of the moment, the more clearly they feel the cruelty.

At this time, the grand "voice" continued to sound-

"I'm a little interested in you guys, after all, not everyone can see the current situation in the Lost City and muster the courage to act against it......"

The terrifying thing on the throne continued to speak in a "voice" that was enough to make the soul stunned, and there seemed to be a faint evil cheerfulness in the calm and gentleness.

It was only in hindsight that these people succeeded in translating the feeling into an emotion that they could understand.

"I have found your behavior very interesting, so I forgive you for your sins and command you to obey my instructions...... As a symbolic punishment, I have prepared a chance for you......"

After a meaningful pause, the horror continued—

"I'm going to watch it destroy your weak minds, or see how you can grasp it and get a glimmer of life."

“……”

“……”

The crowd began to understand the fundamental meaning of this passage in fear and vagueness, which made them almost faint in fear, but in despair they found that the others had no other choice.

- Can they still refuse?

No one spoke, and Jacob on the side just kept his head down, in the same posture as a wooden carving, and did not move.

But did that being seem to have received a response from the crowd and understood the choice they had made, or was it the expression they had on their face at this moment that pleased the horrible thing?

So that kind of spiritual message came again, and the concept and expression were so closely connected that it was easy for people to "hear" that voice again-

"Very well, you should know my dream world...... Next, I will draw your souls from the Hall of Awakening to the Abyss of Sleep, into the Land of Dreams......"

"You may be in the icy wastelands, you may be in the land of eternal night, and you may fall into the depths of the mountains that no one knows...... All you have to do is find the miracle that towers over the ethereal sunset, and enter it successfully......"

"But it takes some kind of proof to get into the Sunset City, and it's not just that you find it...... As for what the required proof is, you'll find out soon, and trust me, it's not hard to find......"

- Pumping out the souls of oneself and others?

- Sent into that unreal world?

It was only with great difficulty that the brain, which was already about to stop, understood what it had heard, and everyone immediately realized a strong sense of horror.

Their eyes widened and they opened their mouths to scream hysterically, but it was too late! They were instantly swept into the grip of extreme fear, which came mainly from the outside world...... A kind of power, or is it consciousness?

It enveloped them mercilessly and irresistibly, depriving them of their consciousness in an instant!

The crowd was dazed as they tried to tell what was going on, and all they could do was feel that their backbones were running dizzily, through the unfathomable abyss between the stars, grasped by the indescribable claws that held the abominable flute—

Then from this terrifying huge palace, he was thrown into the dark abyss.

What awaited them there was a deeper horror.

……

……

The timing is not clear.

The location is also unclear.

It's not even clear if it's day or night, because the curtains in the conference room are tightly closed, completely blocking the view from the outside. The lights were bright, and a circle of gray-haired old men sat around the edge of the round table.

They are all old, but the maintenance seems to be done well, and the appearance is passable, but the feeling of old age in the depths of the eyes, the smell of drooping old age and almost decay, cannot be faked.

Each of them is very old, approaching the end of their lives.

And every old man seems to have been in the top position for a long time, and there is no anger and self-authority between his eyebrows, revealing a sense of awe-inspiring voice of a superior who is accustomed to commanding and commanding......

"Not long ago, the people we sent out finally got a good idea, they activated the contact method that can be abolished once you use it, and secretly sent an encrypted file to ......."

An old man pressed his temples tiredly and spoke, his voice a little hoarse, but there was no emotion in it.

"At the moment it can be assumed that on the Siberian side, there is indeed something that we do not know about. It's a pity that all the people brought by Konstantin before died, and we don't get much useful information. ”

"But at least what is certain is that there are signs of a special covert force activity over there, Williams may be one of their members, and our previous intelligence shows that his hand has also reached over there, so we sent people to infiltrate the people he secretly recruited."

"Williams? …… Isn't it good for that old guy to enjoy his last life, why should he go against us? Didn't he know how powerful the Holy Trinity was? An old man sneered.

"It's not entirely certain yet, but judging from the feedback from our people, the guards and systems over there are very strict, and it would be good if they could pass on the information once, and there may be no feedback for a long time in the future......

"That's right, we even have to be prepared for what they have already exposed for this information."

"In that case, the information obtained this time should be very valuable, right? What exactly? ”

"That's a good question...... an old man nodded slightly, reached out and picked up the remote control right next to him, and then turned on the projector.

"They focused on a ...... A very strange city located under the ice, which is said to be the legendary Kitt City...... And also about strange new energy, strange technology...... The most important is a technology about devices for the sharing of human consciousness. ”

"What? You mean consciousness sharing? "Someone on the side immediately became excited." Can technology that operate against human consciousness be realized? ”

And this old man is not an exception, the other old guys are also based on the speed of their reactions, their eyes are lit up one by one, almost glowing green, it is a greedy look like a hungry wolf.

"I can't say for sure at the moment, but according to their description, the technician's judgment is ...... Quite possibly. ”

The old man who spoke before suppressed his excitement as much as possible, and said calmly and majestically.

"It's a device called STEM that connects people's brainwaves to each other and exchanges information on an electrochemical level...... It is unclear whether the transfer of consciousness can be achieved, but it is said that they have built a stable space of consciousness, probably in order to allow people to move in and simulate the real world, so as to produce more great results......"

After all, they also knew the concept of technology, and even used to be a project they focused on, because the concept of technology extended from the operation of human consciousness was realized once it was realized......

Is it equivalent to achieving eternal life in disguise?

No matter how bad it is, it can prolong life in disguise by transferring human consciousness from a decaying body to another body, right?

So almost as soon as the concept was mentioned, everyone's eyes lit up, they all understood the importance of this matter, and instantly thought of several somewhat inhumane solutions.

Of course, this is too humane for them.

As long as they have the opportunity to continue to live, or even live forever...... So what is there to hesitate about sacrificing some inconsequential inferior?

Each of these people who can sit in this conference room today is the master behind the Holy Trinity, and they are also the real power figures in a top consortium.

But again, they are getting old...... The reason why Trinity tirelessly pursues ancient artifacts around the world, the lost secrets in the legend are, of course, the embodiment of their will.

Unifying all mankind and mastering the whole world is the main goal of the Holy Trinity, but not theirs.

Their main goal is really just to find a possibility for themselves to continue to live......

Just like Tracy Williams in the past, the more powerful people are, the more afraid of death, after all, they have already gotten everything and have stood on the heads of countless people.

How can you accept that you and others don't live as long as some poor ghosts?

In fact, they are the same as Tracy Williams once thought, but Williams chose a more scientific method.

That is, pinning hopes on a breakthrough in medical theory to find a way to prolong life...... And these people are because of the existence of the Holy Trinity Organization, and at the same time hope to find the legendary possibility.

The Trinity Organization has a long history, and it can basically be said to be a joint industry belonging to each of their families.

This is a powerful hidden force, although they are not so demented that they think that they can directly rule the world and control all mankind by relying on the Holy Trinity, but there are indeed some records in the history of the Holy Trinity...... Incredible things.

After all, the Holy Trinity is not an organization that was formed by them until now or more than ten years ago, but has a history of thousands of years.

As members of the High Council of this organization, they have only inherited the family business and inherited this status from the hands of the previous generation.

Therefore, they have many top-secret materials that have been passed down from generation to generation, and even actual samples of some magical items, and they firmly believe that there is indeed some magical power beyond the world in this world.

The Trinity Organization's pursuit has been definitely not a useless exercise.

The old man who spoke at the beginning knocked on the table and coughed a few times: "This is just information, to be confirmed later, but if this matter is true, then this technology must belong to us." ”

"That's right, no matter what the cost, no matter what, we must destroy the hidden force that is against us and seize this technology!"

"Then we have to start preparing now, and continue to send people to the Siberian side according to the coordinates that we have locked before...... Be fast, don't give them a chance to react! ”

Others chimed in, and few would stick to the long-term view and choose a steady route.

Because their time is really running out, and now there is such a possibility, and it must be seized! Even if it is to gamble on the accumulation of the entire Holy Trinity, it is not hesitant...... Besides, they didn't think that there was any secret organization in this world that would be stronger than their Holy Trinity.

"Let's take a look at this document now, which is a source document on that STEM system, and the technologists are already starting to analyze it."

Everyone turned their heads to look at the projector and cheered up 120,000 points.

……

……

And while the old people are excited, they are in a secret base belonging to the Holy Trinity.

In a certain research room, a middle-aged man with a tired face made a copy of the file on his computer without a trace while talking and laughing with his colleagues...... It was confidential information that asked him to analyze its feasibility and authenticity.

However, the identity of the middle-aged man is also a spy for the FBI, or the kind that has been hidden for more than ten years without any action.

To this day, he judged that it was definitely time for him to act.

Because this information is so important!

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
