Chapter 432: Manifestation
It's just too incomprehensible.
The dense crowd of figures gathered around him, like a large group of ghosts, surrounds Leillard's side, as if it were the scene of a thriller horror movie.
Leonrad's face turned blue all of a sudden.
"Sorry, we ...... Not intentionally to scare you. ”
Jenny sighed.
"We've noticed your presence since a group of you entered here...... It's just that no matter how much you try to get in touch with you, there is no response. ”
With the slightly terrifying background of the "ghosts" with different faces, Jenny explained to him in detail.
Before the appearance of the Black Dome, they had been living in the "Manhattan District" - that is, before the disaster struck, they had always been living and living a rather uneventful life.
Just after the black dome of light appeared, a strong light emerged from the direction of Times Square, and many people saw a pillar of light that soared into the sky, and it didn't take long for the light to burst out from the city, and everyone was swallowed by the "light".
After being swallowed by the light, everyone found that they had lost their bodies, but they seemed to have broken away from their bodies and become ghosts.
They notice this change, and they find themselves like ghosts, in a state of formlessness, most of the time, they can only walk around them, they are not like real ghosts, they can penetrate objects, they can't even push open the door on their own.
The "ghosts" also discover an even more terrifying truth, they are trapped in the Manhattan area and cannot go anywhere.
"At first, we thought we were dead, really dead."
Jenny crouched down and grabbed the stones on the ground with her hands.
She didn't grab the stone on the ground, nor did she run her palm through it, but the stone bounced away with a repulsive force like another stone repelled by a magnet.
"I ...... Now I find that we have been in a strange state, we have been trying to contact you before, but to no avail, now I know that in order to contact you living people, we need to maintain a 'manifest' mode. ”
Jenny tells him that before Lellrad and other living people couldn't see her, she later discovered that their ghosts could be "manifested" through adjustment.
"It's like a radio channel, you need to adjust that turning button, you have to keep it on and keep it up, if we let go halfway-"
Zila!
Jenny suddenly flashed before his eyes and vanished, and a moment later she came alive again.
"It's like this...... I told the others the secret so they could show themselves in front of you. ”
Renrad looked around at the ghosts standing beside him, some of them were not able to maintain this "appearance" from time to time, and some of their bodies flashed from time to time, and it seemed that this "adjustment" was difficult......
"Also, it's not ...... Everybody has become 'ghosts' in this way. ”
Jenny sighed: "There are also many people who disappear in the flesh, leaving a puddle of ashes on the ground, and just disappearing. ”
Leonrad reached out and touched his chin, and it suddenly occurred to him that this had something to do with "Julie J. A. Urborg: "Similar, both of them lost their flesh and blood under anomalous conditions, and became a ghost-like being.
"Julie" herself, now an agent of the "Committee", disappeared in the "Oasis Collapse Incident".
The committee's researchers believe that "Julie" is not a ghost, but that she is in a specific state, which is called a "suspected information variant", that is, "Julie" herself has transformed into a kind of information body.
(Could it be that most of the people in Manhattan have become such information-like beings.) )
"Where are all the 'people' in the city?"
He shook his head, suppressing the thoughts.
"No, there are only a few people here, there should be many people who have become like this besides us."
Jenny smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone is looking for a place to hide, after those monsters start to appear, the outside of the street becomes very dangerous, if it weren't for looking for George, everyone would not dare to go out......"
"Danger? You mean those triangular monsters? ”
"Yes, but the triangle monster is only one of the dangers, relatively speaking, the triangle monster is not a particularly dangerous existence, what everyone is really afraid of is something else......"
"What?"
"Demons!"
Jenny opened her mouth in no uncertain terms.
————————
Renrad paused and listened carefully to the words of the group of "ghosts", which gave him a new understanding of the situation.
No, to be honest, he still doesn't know much about the current situation.
The only thing he was sure of was that the group of people who had become where they were must have something to do with the black cube that appeared in Times Square. There are more than 400 original videos related to "Black Cube", and countless versions have been sent to the Internet that have been reprinted.
Before he came here, he had seen more than a hundred versions.
The origin of the "black cube" is still unknown and still a mystery, and they repeatedly investigated through the surrounding surveillance cameras, and the result was that this thing appeared in an instant and without warning.
…… It existed for about seven hours, and seven hours later generated an extremely strong radiation response in Times Square, followed by the appearance of the "Black Dome".
"It all started with that thing?"
Leonrad's gaze shifted to the many "ghosts", from whom he hoped to get more information.
"Do any of you know what happens to the 'Black Cube'?"
"You mean Times Square?"
A black "ghost" wearing a large gold chain and sand-based pants clasped his hands to his chest.
"I wasn't far away, and the thing was still in place, but it got really big, have you ever seen the Rubik's Cube, it became something similar to the Rubik's Cube."
Follow the description of this black ghost...... The black cube has now turned into a huge three-dimensional Rubik's Cube, which is huge and unusually large, occupying most of the space of Times Square.
This huge pitch-black object not only occupies a considerable amount of space, but also floats in the air, as if it is completely unconstrained by gravity.
"Also, when I came back just now, I found your companions, and they were doing something, like a 'nano warhead', saying that they were going to blow up the entire Manhattan district?"
"Wait! You're talking about nano warheads, Morgan, can't they want to blow up the entire Borough of Manhattan? “
