Chapter 17: The Silver Phoenix of Nirvana
"Come with me, haven't you always wanted to know what the hell is like out there?" McEndre did not answer Wu Feng's question directly, but walked out of the ward. Wu Feng looked at Adrian in the life support cabin, sighed, and followed.
Wu Feng followed McEndre to the end of the escalator at the vault of Space City. Above your head is the heavy mechanical door. They were blocked by a small platform protruding from under the mechanical door, and Wu Feng did not understand this design.
"How do you get up?" Wu Feng asked.
"Keep walking." McKentyre didn't stop, she stepped onto the platform in front of her, and as the other foot left the escalator, her body actually stood completely vertically on the platform! McCantyre glanced at Wu Feng, and Wu Feng instantly understood what she meant. But this made him a little unacceptable, and this most intuitive balance shift brought about by sight and feeling made him a little stunned.
Wu Feng carefully raised one foot and stepped on the platform in front of him, he felt that the space under his feet seemed to turn forward half a circle while he was stepping, he felt the balanced gravitational force from his two feet, and slowly stepped on the platform with the other foot. The space seemed to turn half a circle, Wu Feng stood in place in a daze, he turned his head to look at his rear, the visual reference of this angle made him very unaccustomed, the outside of the escalator is the bottomless hollow part of the space city, Wu Feng thought that if he suddenly fell down at this time, he was afraid that he would fall to the point that there was no scum left, but he knew that it was impossible.
"It's all thanks to Shell 59, which creates a full gravitational space." McKentyre looked at the faint glowing mineral embedded in the cracks in the vault. She tapped a few times with her finger a few meters away, and Wu Feng watched in surprise as the mechanical door opened with the sound of metal clattering.
"Let's go." McEndre looked back and smiled. Under the bright lights, this silver-haired girl has an irresistible charm, she has the characteristic wheat skin of mixed Indo-European race and her delicate facial features, Wu Feng thinks she is more like a Mexican.
The mechanical door slowly closed behind him, and Wu Feng and McKentyre stood on an empty platform with a diameter of 100 meters. There was a very small dark blue notch in the center of the platform, as if a complete piece of the spatial puzzle had been removed, and it hung there abruptly. The dark blue notch is surrounded by black powder that looks like ashes from the burning of some substance.
Wu Feng saw nine other identical metal doors at the edge of the platform, and according to this layout, Wu Feng roughly estimated that the space city he was in should be a flattened decagonal shape, and its exterior shape might be closer to a round cake.
"What's that?" Wu Feng looked at the dark blue gap in the center of the platform, which looked like a crack in the sky.
"That's the wreckage of a mass star." There was a trace of irrepressible heat in McEntyre's clear eyes, and there seemed to be a trace of fear, or nervousness, which Wu Feng couldn't read.
"There are wreckage in the fourth dimension as well?"
"There are wreckage in three-dimensional space, too."
"What's the use of it?"
"It's a gift from Lord Huiling. Because of it, I have a talent that surpasses that of human beings. McEndre said as she walked towards the center of the platform, with Wu Feng following her.
"What's the use of this thing?"
"What's the use?" Mackentyre had already walked to the side of the gap, and the clothing attached to the surface of her body suddenly began to burn violently, and in an instant it turned into white ashes and scattered in the air. Mackentyre's ketones were also exposed at that moment, but it was really nothing to see, the invisible flames began to burn her body after burning her clothes, her body was like a lump of coal thrown into the furnace, her skin became charred and twisted in the blink of an eye, tearing open a shocking crack, the crack shimmered with orange fire, and the golden liquid slowly trickled down like molten iron.
Yes...... Yes!!!
Wu Feng was dumbfounded, he forcibly stopped his steps forward, and the air echoed with Macentyre's heart-rending scream, and Wu Feng's scalp tingled when he heard it.
"McEndre, are you crazy!" Wu Feng yelled at the golden-red figure that had been scorched to the point that it had almost lost its shape, and Mackentyre seemed to hear Wu Feng's voice, and she struggled to slowly retreat, leaving the scorching range of the invisible flames. Her body quickly turned scorched black, and the thick smoke covered her, and Wu Feng choked back continuously from the pungent smell of burnt paste.
In the thick smoke, Mackentyre, who had no hair or eyebrows, slowly walked out. She wrapped the robe again, and now she looked like a lantern made of human skin, and there was a faint ember of fire in her eyes, forehead, and under the skin of her face. There was a crazy, excited look on her face.
"You... You're not already... What are you? After a long time, the shocked Wu Feng finally said a complete sentence.
"It's kind of a practice." McEndre said, "You're the first human to see me alone. ”
"Practice? Is burning oneself alive like this a practice? I see that you've ...... ...... have been burned alive"
"So, you now know why they call me the Silver Phoenix." McEndre smiled, "This is the method of evolution that came from Lord Huiling. When one day I can pass through this mass star fragment, I will have completed my own practice. ”
"Why are you telling me this secret, I won't burn myself like you did. If the task you've given me is related to this, there's nothing I can do to help you. Wu Feng said vigilantly.
"No, it's not a secret, everyone here knows that the Silver Phoenix of Nirvana exists." McEndre shook his head and smiled, "I've done all this just to convince you that all the things you thought were impossible are happening now, and they're really in front of you." Stop being skeptical about what you are dealing with, try to accept them and understand them. Your thinking is limited by the narrowness of traditional ideas, and these things will not help you, but will only make you die faster at the hands of unknown enemies. ”
McEndre was talking very seriously, but Wu Feng didn't listen much. He felt like a ball at the mercy of others, mired in unknown mysteries that he couldn't even control himself. He has always been led by others, he is afraid and confused, but more often than not, when the unknown becomes a reality and appears in front of him, he has no way to accept that all this is related to him in a short period of time!
“…… So, you're very important, Mr. Wu. Mackentyre was still talking to himself.
"McEndre, they say you won't get old, is that because of that?" Wu Feng, who came back to his senses, asked a question that was not too normal.
"Ugh." McKentyre looked at the mass star fragment in the center of the platform, "You can understand that. Every time I pass through the radiation of the mass star fragments, my body will reach a state of relative peak for a long period of time. ”
"So, if you get Adrian and them to radiate, can you also return to the peak state of physical functioning?" Wu Feng asked expectantly.
"It's impossible. They are all just the most ordinary three-dimensional lifeforms, and the mass structure of the fourth dimension only exists in the form of projections, which is very, very fragile. Basic three-dimensional life, whether the projection of the mass structure is damaged or the three-dimensional body is damaged, can cause great damage. ”
"So is there anything you can do to save them? What are you trying to tell me about your amazing abilities? Wu Feng asked anxiously.
