1649 Sanctuary
The fully metallized frame extends from the mid-belly of the island downwards, and when entered from the outside of the island, there are only eight formal entrances in total. Eight huge gates twenty-five meters high and more than ten meters wide are either embedded in a hidden mountain wall, or silent in a lake, or tumbling in magma, or lying flat in a corner of a mountain col. Some of them are disguised, while others are more like they are discarded there. The natural beauty of the island still exists, but these beautiful appearances are no longer the main body of the island. Takakawa made his way to one of the doors along the occasional exposed man-made metal structure.
These exposed metal structures cannot be inferred from the parts that can be seen to deduce their overall appearance and commonality, and more often, they are more like a corner of large metal garbage that has become inoperable. However, in the data of Takakawa's brain hardware, there are no abandoned and superfluous artifacts on Sanxian Island - from the beginning of construction to the end of construction, the entire construction process is in an extremely abnormal state, in a near-perfect condition, stable at the most ideal efficiency with no abundance and no errors or omissions.
The internal operating system of Sanxian Island is as complex and delicate as a clock, although many people believe that this style is not conducive to actual combat, and too strict and precise design will make Sanxian Island's ability to resist pressure become vulnerable. However, the Three Immortals Island was still completed in this style, and there is an informal description in the report on the process: as if it should have existed in the first place, and should have existed in such a way, that we did not create it, but only delivered it into this world.
These informal descriptions are full of complex emotions, including fear, and it is clear that the author's mental state is extremely poor and that he is slipping in a more negative direction. They use anthropomorphic ways to depict the birth of the Three Immortals Island, and after the birth of the Three Immortals Island, they describe the Three Immortals Island one by one with unknown whereabouts or strange deaths. For "those who observe the Three Immortals from a negative perspective", the Three Immortals are living horrors. However, for those who only regard the Three Immortals Island as a super project, the Three Immortals Island is enough to be proud of themselves and tell the great deeds of future generations that they are not only alive, but most of them are alive and well.
This kind of information made Takakawa further feel that Sanxian Island was like having its own consciousness, thus eliminating those who slandered him and retaining those who faced him squarely.
In fact, regardless of whether the Three Immortals Island has its own consciousness or not, there is one thing that Gao Chuan has confirmed, that is, the Three Immortals Island is indeed alive. This kind of life does not only refer to the biome on its surface, but also refers to the existence of the overall concept of the Three Immortals.
After the separation of Takakawa's prosthetic body and the Three Immortals Island, the bonds he once had in the past were not severed, and through this bond, Takakawa was able to rely on his induction to determine his position and the location he wanted to go even with his eyes closed. Every time he breathed, he felt that it was actually Sanxian Island breathing.
Takagawa felt that this was like the concept of "the unity of heaven and man" often mentioned in the occultism of the Central Principality.
Finding the gate to the man-made area of the interior of the Three Immortals Island was a very simple task for him, especially since the designer didn't seem to have thought about closing and hiding the entrance, which seemed to carry some kind of meaning that people had to know.
Intelligence from the Central Principality says that there are some terrorists with unknown intentions hidden in the Three Immortals Island. But Takakawa was very sure that there was no such person on the surface of the three islands, or that even if they did, the other party was dead, and there were no bones left in the battle that broke out between the three immortal islands and the yellow phenomenon. Even Takakawa himself was not sure if he would have survived if he had been exposed to that level of impact, and the reason why he had quickly entered the "inside" of Sanxian Island before the battle was not for nothing.
The entrance that Takakawa found was on a high rock, the gate was placed at an angle but without any support, one side resting on the ground, and the other side gave a strange sense of levitation. The metal gate is painted with allegorical mythical creatures from the occult and folklore of the Central Duchy, with feathers, scales, and textures known as "moires" taking up most of the background of the pattern, and in the sunlight, you can see the light suddenly light up from one place on the door, flow along the texture, and disappear halfway through. Gao Chuan knew very well that this was not a normal reflection, strictly speaking, similar to the light emitted from the matrix magic arrays that appeared in some mysterious phenomena: it seemed to have an independent light source, a very clear sense of instantaneousness, and a coherent flow route, and those textures, whether curved or straight, were more like the function of some kind of energy line than decoration, however, even if these lines were destroyed, it could not stop the operation of this thing itself.
The touch of the door from the prosthetic body is not as cold and hard as it seems, but you will feel a beating like a biological pulse, like pressing your hand to your chest and feeling the beating of your heart.
The gate doesn't require a key to open and doesn't have any keyholes on it, and when a normal person uses the island as a base, there is a system that must be cleared internally, but when the user of the island becomes a special user associated with it, another system is running. Entering the interior of the Three Immortals Island through different systems, the things that can be seen will also be different, and this difference is that ordinary people will think that this is a normal high-tech product in the concept, and mysterious experts will think that it is the result of the action of mysterious forces.
Specifically why this happened, Gao Chuan did not find relevant information. There is a rumor that the Central Principality did not actually deliberately complete the two systems, but in the process of construction, although according to the master plan, the construction began in batches from the details and then connected these parts one by one, and the results obtained should be the result of the master plan, however, when the connection was completed, it was discovered that it was not only the result of the master plan, but also a mysterious result that no one expected.
Of course, such rumors have never been concretely proven.
Although Takakawa had an expected impression of the Three Immortals Island from the available information and various rumors, however, when he was in the Three Immortals Island, came into contact with the rumored and mysterious part, and even experienced the process of integrating into the Three Immortals Island, he still couldn't tell which of the things he had heard and understood that could be confirmed to be the same.
Even in name and in fact, he took over the Three Immortals Island and was the right user of this behemoth. However, the mystery that is still deep is always shrouded in every inch of land that can be seen. Even the air seems to be different from the air in the sea off the island.
- Open Sesame!
Gao Chuan took a deep breath and let out such a thought, and the door that was so closed that there was not a single gap opened inward silently. Behind the door was a deep darkness, and neither the end nor the actual object could be observed with the naked eye or by chain judgment. When looking at the darkness, you will feel that this darkness is flowing, different color depths divide the layers, each layer has its own flowing rhythm, and this is full of layered dark flow, but the whole gives people a sense of precision and precise coordination.
The darkness is terrifying, the layered darkness gives people the illusion that they will fall into the infinite abyss, never land, and will not be able to find an exit, and the flowing darkness is so precise that it makes people feel that once they fall into it, they will be crushed by a tightly biting and interacting gear set.
Takakawa tried to reach into a hand. Nothing happened. He was actually nervous, but the brain hardware inhibited the effect of tension on the prosthetic body, so he just exhaled in a formal way. As he was about to take out his hand and get in, he suddenly felt something suddenly grab his hand from the darkness, and as he resisted, the thing burst out with a huge, completely irresistible force and pulled him around.
Takakawa's head, body, and feet slipped into the darkness as if he had fallen into a deep well. For a moment, Takakawa seemed to hear the sound of the gate closing above. In the dark, I don't feel the borrowing point at all, as if falling from the sky with nothing, the speed is fast, and it is still accelerating, and it feels like it exceeds the gravitational acceleration, which makes people can't help but fantasize about the tragic situation of falling to the ground, however, what breeds more horror is that the feeling of darkness is tight, and falling at high speed in the darkness where there is nothing in such a perception, but it is not clear at all, when is the end, and the sense of falling is always fast, faster, and faster...... Never stop growing.
If it weren't for the fact that Gao Chuan had already become accustomed to high-speed conditions, if he were an ordinary person, I am afraid that the feeling of acceleration alone would have been enough to make people faint with fear.
I don't know how long it has been, in the dark, the sense of time seems to be disordered, according to the proportion of acceleration and time, the overall falling distance has already exceeded the diameter of the earth, and Takakawa still remembers that he is not going to the other side of the earth, but only the "interior" of Sanxian Island.
Gao Chuan adjusted the direction of his body according to the sense of falling, he felt that he was standing normally, however, when his body hit something, it was from his shoulder. The shoulders and head were the first to hit, and then the heavens and the earth were turned upside down, and light squeezed into the eyes that had been open, and the scene beyond the darkness suddenly opened up in the field of vision.
When Gao Chuan could have a new understanding of his own condition, he knew immediately that he had fallen headfirst to the ground, which was exactly the opposite of the sense of direction when he fell.
What a bizarre experience. Gao Chuan got up from the ground, he turned his head to look around, there was no place like an exit, and he couldn't find the slightest bit of darkness, and the pervasive light sprinkled everywhere as far as the eye could see, making every outline clear. The steel-like structure resembles a giant serpent coiled around its body, like a giant tortoise sleeping on its crawling, and in some places it resembles the spread wings of a bird, while in other places it is reminiscent of some kind of monster with horns on its forehead showing half of its body. Here, the building is not a cold, blocky dead thing, but more like a more figurative, allegorical work of art.
Of course, there are people living here, and Takakawa can look out over the rooms, some of which are detached houses and some of which are buildings, but they are also strange, because their architectural function is not so much to be inhabited, but rather to be inhabited, and it is only an unimportant function. Just like a sunken object, it can be used as a soup bowl, it can also be used to hold sand, or even to hold anything, but as some special part, which is the most correct way to use it.
The strangeness of this man-made object gives people this feeling that Sanxian Island is not impossible to use for passengers, but it is not through passengers to show its value. It's not a shelter, not even a "base" or "fortress" as it used to be thought, but a delicate and complex behemoth, large enough to act as a vehicle, but not a vehicle.
Even though Gao Chuan had witnessed countless strange things and witnessed many mysterious phenomena, the style inside the Three Immortals Island still gave him a sense of shock that he had never seen in his life. It's like describing the architectural marvels of history in the past: it makes people feel that this is not something that people can do.
Yes, Sanxian Island also made Gao Chuan feel that this is not a miracle that the Central Principality, or even human beings themselves, can design, create, and build by themselves. However, if such a miracle has the power to rival that of a repeater, it is perfectly acceptable emotionally. At this moment, there was an impulse bursting in Gao Chuan's body, making him feel that when he controlled this miraculous thing, even if the opponent was a repeater, he could achieve the ultimate victory.
Gao Chuan took a deep breath, and it took a while for the brain and hardware to suppress this impulsive emotion. However, the feeling of the heart like an electric shock still made it difficult for him to look at everything standing in front of him from the usual neutral perspective. He remembered his job: to make sure that there was really some bad man, to stay on the island—maybe here, maybe somewhere else, but he could only look for it everywhere.
Although there is still no special feeling, if these people exist, then after coming into contact with them, it may be more convenient for me to expel them.
Takakawa strides into the depths of this metal frame, a structure woven of steel and cables, strung together in a variety of ways, full of concise rules from a distance, but full of dizzying and indistinguishable complexity when approached. (To be continued.) )
