Chapter 54: Trouble always comes with greater trouble
This is a small point of contact set up by the paranormal organization in the Sahara Desert, from the outside, this is a humble desert inn, specially for those who have brains to come to this barren place to explore or travel to rest and consider a hurry to return by the way, obviously, the uncharacteristic ruins in this vicinity have not been developed yet, so it is difficult to supply here, and it is impossible for many tourists to visit, And the hapless convoy of people who crossed the desert road won't be interested in being slaughtered here again after being slaughtered by this tiny inn - in fact, that's exactly what the Anomalous Organization wants, they need a point of contact disguised as a desert inn, but they don't need that point of contact to actually be a thriving international hotel.
Only at some point would the extremely innocent sister not wonder that a desert inn that has not been frequented all year round has managed to survive until nowβand it seems that the inn is in pretty good shape.
It suddenly occurred to me that these guys in the Paranormal Group were all natural conspirators, and they were much better at trapping than me.
In a small hidden room, several of our special people are holding a criticism and education meeting, the participants include me, Sandora, Pandora, Sicaro and Lin Xue, of course, the initiator and educator of this party is me, and Lin Xue is the educated party, among the other several, Sandora has nothing to do and comes to join in the fun, Pandora is the type where she will follow me wherever I go, Sicaro is more special, this guy is too rampant to resell pirated disks in K City, and he was wanted by the city's urban management jointlyIn desperation, in line with the leader, the market must have the idea that he came to the Sahara Desert with us, and in order to prevent this guy from opening a market among the members of the ability group, I had to drag him in.
In response to my criticism, Lin Xue protested: "What is a trap, we just want to arrange a unique vacation for you, since you let our organization do such a boring thing for you, then you have to accept our confidentiality measures, in addition, I think Sister Chen Qian is quite satisfied with this arrangement." β
Since there are no outsiders here, and Lin Xue, the only normal human being, is still an insider, so there is no need for Sandora to hide her identity, just listen to her snort slightly, the queen's demeanor suddenly appeared, and said: "Hmph, little girl, I hope you don't forget, now sitting here is the head of the strongest empire in the universe, and your little thoughts can't hide from my eyes." β
With that, Sandora recoiled and continued to stuff pancakes and fruit pies into her mouth at a jaw-dropping speed.
Forget it, I'm used to it......
Lin Xue finally gave up going around in circles with us, and confessed: "Okay, I admit that we need your help this time - of course, other than that, a desert holiday tour is still a good pastime, and I personally think that an old-fashioned guy like Chen Jun needs something new......"
Can't this girl who doesn't agree with me say a word that makes me happy?!
"Forget it, let's talk about it, anyway, those commanders under my command are idle all day long."
I pulled out the fork that swallowed Shandora together in my mouth, and then said to Lin Xue.
Lin Xue took out a black thing from her pocket and threw it in front of us.
"Huh?" I joined Sandora in expressing my doubts.
This object is a regular oval shape, with a smooth surface, dark body, with a hint of oily reflection, and if you feel it carefully, you can smell a faint fragrance......
If my human memory wasn't wrong, this thing is the legendary one - chocolate chips!
"Ahh I took the wrong ......."
Lin Xue finally discovered her major mistake, and immediately embarrassed to put the chocolate beans on the table into her pocket, and then took out another black thing from the other pocket.
I immediately became seriously interested in how this girl usually took care of herself, and it was a miracle that Lin Xue, who looked so beautiful on the surface, was able to put food so indiscriminately, and it was a miracle that she hadn't poisoned herself to death until now.
But Sandora's attention was obviously not on Lin Xue, she was already completely attracted by the diamond-shaped black crystal-like thing on the table.
"It's ...... This is the Spectral Core! β
Sandora exclaimed.
Having never seen Sandora so out of shape, I immediately nervously asked, "Ghost core?" What's that? β
Sandora carefully held the so-called ghost core on the table in her hand and swallowed the spoon in her mouth vigorously (I was not mistaken, it was a spoon, I said before that the Apostle of Hilin could eat anything, and now there are no outsiders, and Sandora dares to put anything in her mouth...... Then he said, "It's an energy source, one of the most commonly used energy sources in the Xiling Empire, just like batteries are for you humans." β
"Energy?" Lin Xue's voice trembled a little, and she looked at the black diamond-shaped crystal in Sandora's hand with strange eyes, "This thing must contain a lot of energy, right?" β
Energy! What is the biggest headache for humans right now? Energy!
Not to mention the ultimate battleship of the Xiling Empire, even if Pandora fired a ghost bombardment, the energy to be consumed is amazing, and such an amazing energy consumption is negligible for the Xiling Empire, Sandora has led her troops to fight in the otherworldly realm for tens of thousands of years without a supply crisis, all thanks to the Xiling Empire's energy application method that has fused the laws of the world.
Void energy, ghost energy system, pan-energy annihilation system, dark energy recharge technique, or even create a singularity and destroy it, and draw from it the terrifying energy generated when the universe is destroyed, for the Xiling Empire, energy is the most worthless thing, if they need it, they can even ignite the entire world to obtain energy!
Although the empire has now fallen, and most of these anti-heaven things have become incomplete materials, the Xiling Empire still has the energy technology to ignite the stars!
But I know that Sandora will never let humans master this kind of technique, not only for the sake of the Empire, but also for the sake of humanity.
Sure enough, Sandora immediately knew what Lin Xue was thinking, she gently threw the black crystal in her hand, and said: "Don't fight the idea of this kind of energy, with the current speed of human development, it will take at least a thousand years for you to be able to use ghost energy safely and stably, if you are qualified to master this powerful energy at that time, the empire will be happy to pull human civilization, as for now- believe me, I am here for your good, stay away from these dangerous things, otherwise you will use this thing to destroy yourself sooner or later- To be honest, I think it's a bit early for you to get into nuclear power...... By the way, where did you find this thing? Somewhere in this ruin? β
Lin Xue is a very smart girl, and has a very long-term vision, otherwise she would not have such a high status in the organization even if she is an anomaly, Sandora's words made her immediately understand that she was carried away by this very tempting thing, so she nodded and said: "Xie Lu, thank you for your reminder, I will keep this secret, as for this thing, we found it in a strange tomb under the ruins, it seems to be the pyramid where a certain Egyptian pharaoh rests after his death, but for unknown reasons, The pyramid has sunk into the ground, and we found this thing in a tomb next to the main burial chamber, according to my suspicion, after the death of the Hiling warrior who came to Earth unexpectedly, what he brought with him was regarded as a sacred object, we analyzed the hieroglyphs inside the pyramid, and found that the Egyptians called this stone "Star Stone", they believed that it was something that could give the soul the power of resurrection, and there were many characters on the walls of the tomb that were very similar to the patterns we saw in the ruins of the Taklamakan last time, So I thought of calling you over, but don't worry, no one in the organization knows who you really are, they only know that you are a few free but willing to help the organization. β
"You should say you're lucky," Sandora crushed the black crystal in her hand, "It's a very common energy source for us, as common as the No. 5 battery, but for humans, it's scarier than a ton of uranium-235, and once you are unlucky enough to activate it, a crystal without an energy control device is enough to cause a catastrophe bigger than a nuclear explosion, but this crystal is clearly depleted of energy, just a good-looking stone." β
Hearing Sandora's introduction, Lin Xue suddenly asked in a very nervous voice, "Wait, if this crystal doesn't run out of energy, what does it look like?" β
Pandora, who had been listening to us quietly, raised her right hand, and a dark blue translucent crystal surrounded by a hint of lilac electric light emerged from her palm.
"Ahh Lin Xue exclaimed, "There is one! At the top of the pharaoh's coffin was a crystal like this! Oops, they're getting ready to work on that thing today! β
