Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Maze
"The golden cicada is still alive."
The Silver Horn King who uttered these words has long since died completely, but its remains are still under constant scrutiny every day, as if to find a reassuring evidence from it. However, everything in the silver horn brain has destroyed itself, and the virus lurking in it has even affected the hardware level, with the help of high-frequency voltage conversion to scrap most of the components, and the fragile protein memory is naturally damaged in the process, leaving no room for anything.
The same phenomenon was found in the Golden Horn King. The storage unit that was torn apart by the gravity field should have been repaired, but the investigation results showed that the self-destruction mechanism in the Golden Horn had been activated before the fragmentation occurred, and all the data was wiped clean.
This seems to make the news from Silver Horn a little more credible. In order to prevent the relevant information in their memories from leaking, it is very logical to trigger the virus to destroy it at the last moment, which confirms the importance of that information from the side. However, there is also the possibility of deliberately committing such an act in order to convince people that this is the case.
If it's such a secret thing, why would a single word come out of the mouth of the silver horn? Was it because there was a real willingness to surrender at that time?
Taishang Laojun closed his eyes and took a long, restrained breath. He didn't like the feeling that he was observing a cloud of probabilities. That person always has this ability to lead people around, unconsciously getting people used to his unpredictable style, so that at all times he is accustomed to doubting everything about him, and can never make judgments easily.
Even after he died.
"He's playing tricks. This is to announce his return to us through the mouth of the Silver Horn, and no other time before has he been so high-profile. Another Taishang Laojun said.
"If it's not him, who is the one who is making the fuss?"
"It's him."
Taishang Laojun opened his eyes and looked deeply at another Taishang Laojun: "He has become another kind of us." ”
"But he doesn't have a qualified carrier. It is impossible to find a more perfect surrogate than yourself. Taishang Laojun whispered, "Xuanzang? ”
"Xuanzang? Xuanzang ...... But how? ”
After a moment of contemplation, he denied, "Not him, but he wants us to think it's him." Taishang Laojun looked at the picture of the molecular reconstruction machine excavated in Tianpeng's memory. Said to the Jade Emperor on the other end of the communicator: "It's not exactly the golden cicada. ”
"What do you mean by that?" The Jade Emperor asked back.
"Maybe it's his legacy, maybe it's in his name. The molecular reconstruction machine, the Dijiang chariot, and the several performances of the rebels all point to the golden cicada, but it is impossible for him to be in charge. Assuming he did find a way to escape from the final battle, he should be at his weakest right now and wouldn't expose himself so easily. ”
The Jade Emperor said thoughtfully, "You mean, the thieves are deliberately attracting our attention. But how can the betrayal of the Golden Horn and the Silver Horn be explained? ”
"We always have to allow one or two special individuals to appear under our hands, and it is impossible for all traitors to be rebelled by the golden cicada." Lao Jun said. Frowning slightly, "What is worth thinking about is the timing of this news being thrown." They should not know about proxy warfare, so it is mostly for their own actions. ”
Hearing this, the Jade Emperor issued several orders downward, asking them to pay attention to whether there were any recent unnoticed movements outside the shielded area. Later, he said to Lao Jun: "There is one more thing that I still remember in my mind. Why was the molecular reconstitution machine obtained by the golden horn and silver horn, and finally transferred to the hands of the thieves? To know. We have been searching for many years, but we have not been able to recover a single intact molecular reconstitution machine, how can we find one that is so coincidentally found by them? ”
on this. Taishang Laojun couldn't give a definite answer either. The data in the brains of the golden horn and silver horn was destroyed, so that the puzzle pieces were always missing, which was really uncomfortable.
Suddenly, he thought of a possible way to restore the puzzle. There was a nine-tailed demon fox with a suspicious identity next to those two robots. Given that the target is too small and not within its purview, the Ministry of Supervision is unwilling to waste Prism's energy quota on it. Only the lowest-level reconnaissance aircraft were dispatched, and the information obtained was extremely limited. It wasn't until it met with Xuanzang and his party and appeared in the White Tiger Ridge Shelter that it was listed as a relatively important surveillance target.
Since the demon fox has been in the shielded area of Shepan Mountain for a long time, it has not returned too valuable records after that. I haven't paid attention to it for a long time, and I don't know what new developments there are. Thinking of this, Taishang Laojun called the interface of the Ministry of Supervision and began to obtain all the data under his authority.
Reading against the timeline, several reports quickly caught his attention. A document shows that the demon fox has recently left the shielded area and is moving in the direction of the quicksand river, carrying an unknown creature with it. Since there was no special performance, the reminder level of the report was not high, and Lao Jun checked the electronic secretary records during this period and found that they had been moved to the non-urgent waiting area.
The other few are the relevant intelligence analysis done by the lower-level intelligence of the Ministry of Supervision, this kind of thing is basically piled up with data into the relationship model, the good and the bad are mixed, but Lao Jun noticed that the path drawn above is a little familiar.
It was a tortuous route, turning around several times like a headless fly, then crossing a natural stone bridge over the quicksand river to the opposite bank, moving some distance before disappearing abruptly. Correlation analysis pointed out that the movement path of the demon fox overlapped with this path slightly, and the two intersected with the convoy route of Treasure Elephant City. In addition to this, there are records of the signal exchange of satellites at these waypoints.
Taishang Laojun stared at these data for a long time, waved his hand and clicked a few times on the floating panel, and connected to the supervision officer. On the other side, the second Taishang Laojun initiated a call request somewhere on the ground.
"It's actually the Taishang Dao Ancestor, dare to ask in person, what is the matter?" The latter started the call first.
"Zhenyuan Daxian is unharmed." Lao Jun greeted him slightly, and then asked straight to the point, "Have you seen any suspicious characters near the plantation recently?" ”
Zhen Yuanzi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Dao Ancestor even knows this, and he really knows everything. It's just that some mortals who accidentally intruded, because they were not mentally normal, might have made the surrounding vigilance measures ineffective. ”
"It seems to be true. Where are those people now? ”
"I'm in the dungeon, just waiting for a few days." Zhen Yuanzi said, and inquired quietly, "This kind of incident has occasionally happened in the past, and Poor Dao will deal with it, and he will never worry about Heavenly Court." Today, Dao Ancestor specially asked, is there something wrong? ”
Satellite records show that these people have signal transmitters on them, and with the help of Tianting's satellite positioning, there are also backhaul signals, but they cannot track the location of the other end. We suspect that it was sent by someone with ulterior motives. They also asked Daxian to keep all their belongings, not to destroy the scene, and wait for the Heavenly Court to go over for interrogation. ”
"I see, poor Dao understands." Zhen Yuanzi agreed to come down.
Until the end of their call, Yang Jian had not yet connected to Taishang Laojun's call. This Yang Jian is really getting more and more unpleasant. Lao Jun shook his head, left the Tushi Palace, and went to the Ministry of Supervision in person.
Naturally, he didn't know that the person he was looking for was breaking his heart for his sister. (To be continued.) )
