Chapter 5 Awakening

Pandora's image faded away, leaving Diaste in the command room, leaving him to foil and shock himself. She has her own troubles.

The Scorpion Nest is a majestic modern industrial metropolis with dozens of factories, large and small, that become the pieces of the city's puzzle. It sits on the edge of a large lake, and more than a dozen water intake pipes as thick as one meter dig deep into the bottom of the lake, constantly frantically sucking water from the lake. The water in the lake is blue and as pure as a giant sapphire, but close to the lake, the intense radiation will alert the unwary to the unwarn that this is a realm of death.

Several smoke pipes tens of meters thick stand quietly and stand outstanding. They spew white steam, and the turbines below are constantly pumping on a huge amount of electricity. The entire scorpion nest has been close to fully automatic operation, all kinds of raw materials have special channels and feeding ports, and as long as the produced cultivators walk out of the testing room and enter the equipment room, they will see that their own equipment has been placed in the designated position, and after being dressed neatly, they will enter the weapon field for system testing. Yes, in the definition of the Calamity Scorpion, cultivating a man and his equipment are one, a complete combat system. This is an incomparably huge warplane, and in the past battles, it has not yet revealed its full potential.

But today, after the last Cultivator Level 3 commander completed the test, all the equipment in the weapons field was turned off one by one, and even the lights were extinguished, leaving only the emergency lights that illuminated the passage. In the days before, various factories for the production of weapons and equipment had been suspended, and even smelters for the production of steel and various metals had ceased operations. Once their blast furnaces and electric furnaces are shut down, the absolute losses are huge.

Soon, all the factories were out of operation, except for the power plant.

The black-haired girl walks to the secret center deep underground in the scorpion nest. The isolation doors along the route can also be opened mechanically without energy, but it requires ten tons of force. This was not a problem for Pandora, who easily pushed open the isolation doors and closed them again. She has done this kind of thing no less than dozens of times.

The depths of the secret center were brightly lit, and the sounds of various instruments converging into a huge roar, and the surface of the metal walls would occasionally burst into subtle electric sparks. Pandora could feel the temperature of the walls, and the cables buried behind the partitions were rushing beyond the limit, converging deeper underground. It was like a bottomless abyss, greedily devouring all the energy away.

Pandora walked into a small circular room in the center, with an unusually advanced trough in the center and two upright troughs flanked by one that hadn't been opened for a long time. There is a middle-aged man and a beautiful woman in the cultivation tank. The man has a strong body, and even if he floats in the culture medium, he can feel the strength contained in the muscles. And the woman's body is delicate and beautiful, with very soft curves. She was a little older, but she couldn't really know what she looked like. Because a woman has only a headless body.

The culture tanks are all activated, and the nutrient solution is maintained at all times. But there is no life in either body, two specimens at all.

Looking at a man and a woman in the cultivation tank, Pandora's eyes suddenly misted. This has not happened in many years. In the blink of an eye, she returned to normal, took off her clothes, and walked towards the central cultivation tank. That's where she rests.

The lid of the tank closed, the medium began to be injected, and a dozen long metal needles pierced the designated area and nailed to her bone marrow. Pandora slowly closed her eyes, her consciousness sinking into darkness.

Soon, Pandora's consciousness awoke in the endless void space.

The first thing she saw was the light that pierced through the heavens and the earth in the distance. However, this space is no longer completely shrouded in darkness, and above infinity there hangs a new round of light, like a brightly colored planet. Opposite it, another round of light was coming up, but it was so dim that it could barely be recognized. Pandora looked up, and from her point of view, the two rays of light in the air were on the same plane, and from opposite directions, there should be three more places on the circular plane on which they were located. There, Pandora sensed something unusual, as if there was a huge star hidden, very different from the empty void around her. The five stars are exactly the same distance from each other, and they are moving extremely slowly along a perfectly circular orbit.

Pandora regained the appearance of a ten-year-old girl. There was a ray of light at her feet, supporting her body. Now, all of her activities are on this piece of light, which is only a few square meters in size. While she was here, she could not see or hear anything unless the apostle commanded her, and all she could see was the incomparably majestic pillar of light in the distance. There is no time and no space in this space. Only when she controls the Black Flame Chapter will she know what day it will be outside.

This space is a huge prison, and there is no escape.

In her long solitude, Pandora learns to close herself off and to keep her consciousness in absolute stillness. She could sit there in a daze until she was called again. During this time, her consciousness went blank and she didn't think about anything. If it weren't for that, she would have gone crazy in such an environment. But she knew that she would never go mad, and that the Apostle would keep her consciousness intact so that she could experience every drop of pain clearly. No, the apostle would have driven her crazy first, and let her experience the complete ease of madness, and then let her come to her senses again. After this, her experience of loneliness will be clearer, and her will will collapse sooner.

Even if she learned to be in a daze, Pandora couldn't remember how many times she was on the verge of collapse, but until now, she has remained intact. The miracle of perseverance surprised even herself.

A light suddenly fell from the dim star in the void, and in front of Pandora's eyes, the light projected the image of a male human. On his naked body, the most striking thing is the large dark blue crystal. The crystal area occupies almost one-third of the entire body. His eyes had no pupils, just two bottomless patches of blue. From the center of his eyebrows to his tail vertebrae, hundreds of fleshy whiskers of different sizes were born, and from a distance, they looked like flying battle flags.

"Pandora!" The apostle's call awakened her frozen consciousness and brightened her eyes again.

"You have done a good job in this mission, especially the number of the seventh lamb, which is an unexpected reward. Now that the genetic integrity is enough to meet the minimum requirements for me to wake up, I will begin to construct my body and wake up fully in seven days. Seredra suddenly woke up for some reason, and she, with her eye of insight, was likely to discover my save. So time is running out for me, I must awaken and find the Heart of Eternity. I've sensed that it's active, and it's been opened to Level 3. It's not a good thing, but it will make it easier for me to find its whereabouts and complete myself. And now, Pandora, it's time to make your choice. Are you willing to surrender to me forever? If you wish, you will regain the Chapter of Black Flame, and I will construct the core for you, make you my general, and have near-eternal life! When I regain the Heart of Eternity, you will also be eternal with me. And I will give your father and mother again, so that you can have a complete family. How is it? Make your choice! ”

Pandora looked up at the apostle and said in a dreamy voice, "I will obey your commands, as before." ”

"Just obedience?!" The apostle's crystals shot out leaping lightning bolts, and his roar blurred Pandora's image! He raised his hand, as if he wanted to give her a hard slap. But the hand did not fall, for he knew that any physical or mental torture would have no effect on Pandora.

"I want you to think about it again until I find the Heart of Eternity. At that point, you have to give me an answer. I know you're not afraid of death, but at least think about your mom and dad. After the apostle finished speaking coldly, he threw Pandora another thing: "This one will be returned to you first." However, you don't have to be in a daze this time, you will be dispatched again soon. Spend more time on it. ”

With that, the apostle's image turned into a beam of light again, returning to the rising star. In the void, there seemed to be a faint complaint from him: "Humans are really troublesome!" ”

It wasn't until the apostle had completely left that Pandora lowered her head and looked at what had been thrown by the apostle. It was a teddy bear made of velvet, but it was very, very ordinary. The difference is that this teddy bear has a large patch of blood on its body that has turned black.

Pandora slowly reached out her little hand and reached out to the teddy bear. Then, like a real ten-year-old girl, she held it tightly in her arms. It's just that her body is shaking violently. And in this silent world, she couldn't hear her own crying.

Above the void, the apostle watched in silence.

In the deepest part of the scorpion nest, there is a specially made cultivation tank that has never been seen before. This 20-metre-long, 10-metre-wide, and 5-metre-deep tank can be used as a swimming pool. And now, this space that even Pandora has no right to enter is brightly lit, and the roar of the machine is so loud that it can immediately deafen ordinary people.

Above the culture tank, the high-energy beam generator has been in place, and then more than ten high-energy beams are shot into the culture medium, and at the end of the beam, the special substances contained in the culture medium continue to gather and turn into entities. As more than a dozen beams of light moved, slowly, the rudiments of a skeleton began to appear. As the intensity and nature of the energy in the beam changes, so does the species adsorbed from the culture. After the bones are generated, they begin to embed energy crystals inside. This is followed by a coating that covers various tissues and body fibers.

Seven days later, the apostle Fitzdek will awaken here.

The undercurrents on the continent are turbulent, and the bottom of the sea is not calm. D
