Chapter 756: Lilina's Ghost Story
It is inevitable to analyze and apply the ancient Xiling technology obtained from Atlantis City, and the use of that kind of biochemical technology must be a subsidiary civilization of the empire, although there are many vassal races of the empire, including silicon-based life and even energy life, and not all carbon-based life can be strengthened with genetic technology, Atlantis technology heritage still has a very broad application prospect.
But biochemical engineering has its special xìng after all, for ordinary carbon-based creatures, can they accept that their bodies are transformed into something else, and they will no longer be considered complete human beings, this is a question that must be considered, and Sandora and I can pass the proposal of Sives, but also take into account the views of other races.
After all, they are not tools.
"Send these biochemical modification materials to all the racial leaders, and let them and their own auxiliary ministers take a stand," I thought for a moment and said to Civis, "I agree with this plan, but biochemical transformation follows the principle of voluntariness, explain to the soldiers the meaning of this technique, let them choose for themselves, the reformed strengthened people can get more allowances and specialized equipment, and the soldiers who do not reform should not be punished, after all, in some worlds, biochemical technology is equated with crimes against humanity, and their cultural traditions must be taken into account." ”
"Your will."
Civis saluted, "There is another thing, which is the information that was just uploaded today: the chaotic storm in the universe where the Pangalactic Civilization Community is located has partially subsided. ”
"Oh? So fast? I raised my eyebrows, which was good news, but it was untrue.
The Civilizational Community is located in an impressive universe that was originally a tomb created for itself on the eve of the collapse of the Old Empire, and the purpose of existence was to store the Archives and the coffins of the thirty emperors, but we were forced to destroy them during the Battle of the Great Nebula. The core of the great nebula is the control center of the entire universe, after it was destroyed, the universe where the civilization community is located began to collapse in chaos, and the physical rules followed by all the stars fell into aberration and fell into the great storm that permeated the universe, and in order to preserve the people of the community, the newly formed celestial fleet of the empire assumed the temporary corner of the colonial galaxy, until now, the hundreds of billions of people of the community still live on those planetary warships covered with a layer of artificial ecological environment, Slowly rebuilding their home under the blue glow of the ghostly Death Star.
It was originally expected that the chaotic storm of the "grave universe" would last for at least 100 centuries, and those stars that were running wildly in the universe would gradually reach their normal positions after 10,000 years, and then the new celestial mass would form young stars, which would be the moment when the "grave universe" would become a normal realm. And now only a few months have passed, and the storm has subsided there?
Sivis explained, "It was the result of the assistance of Lord Icedis, who reworked some of the gravitational rules of that world, so that some regions of the universe directly entered a state of calm, but this calm was only on a small scale, barely enough for the community of civilizations to rebuild their space home near their star system. The 'Tomb Universe' was created by dozens of emperors of the Old Empire, and even the power of the high-ranking gods could not affect it too much. ”
I immediately patted my head and finally remembered the stubble.
I told Bing Tisi about the troubles in the universe where the civilization community is located a while ago, and at that time, Sister Bing proudly patted Xiōng and said that she wanted to help herself solve the problem, but at that time I thought that the main reason for Sister Bing to say this was the cake roll that was stuffed in her guy's mouth and was originally in my hand, but I never expected her to help quietly.
Although with her strength, she could not directly restore order to such a special world, but the calm on a small scale was still very gratifying. One of the embarrassments faced by the civilization community is the cosmic storm, basically once they leave the celestial fleet star circle with a protective system, they have to face an unprecedented gravitational tear, which is equivalent to a cage, so that the community cannot develop space technology outside the star system, or rather, they originally had these technologies, but they had to be blocked at home because of the gravitational storm of the universe, which is extremely detrimental to the development of a space civilization in the long run.
Now, this problem is solved, there is a certain buffer room, the community's space technology can be preserved, and with the help of the Empire, they will one day be able to use their technology to resist the deadly gravitational storm in space. Civilizations that have grown out of that adversity may even be stronger than their "big brother", the New Federation of Eden.
"Ice, that guy does something serious once in a while." I grinned and decided not to hold her accountable for grabbing the last plate of good food from me every night.
Spending at least two hours a day in Shadow City, not for fun, but to see how the city is growing, to see the progress of several important tasks, and to hear about their latest discoveries at the enthusiastic invitation of the research freaks—though the last of them are often so sleepy that I want to fall asleep in seconds—this is now almost a habit of my own, and at first I was very unhappy with this kind of schedule, and I would rather sit in my room with the clinker drill the ring of fire or watch the little bubbles roll the keyboard with my face, but now, I really think I've changed a lot.
After completing the daily "inspection" and returning to the big house in the world that Lin Xue nicknamed "the most shabby palace in history", I was suddenly startled by the atmosphere in front of me.
In the living room, the doors and windows are closed, and the thick curtains block all the sunlight, causing the hall to be as dark as night when it is daytime, and the gaps in the curtains are black and red flannel, and the light that comes through is dyed with a blood-like dark red. A low and oppressive atmosphere permeates the living room, but the source of the atmosphere is a few flickering candles.
A large round table was placed in the middle of the living room, and the burning candles on it were almost extinguished, and a circle of small faces flickered in the candlelight, distorted by the indefinite flickering of the light. In the center is the smirking expression of a certain largest bishop.
"You ......" I was about to speak, but a black shadow rushed over from the side, I was 100% sure that the black shadow used time to accelerate to come so quickly, she covered my mouth, and then the girl's soft voice sounded softly in my ears, "Ah Jun is quiet!" ”
As she spoke, she gently pulled me to sit down at the empty seat at the round table, and Lilina glanced approvingly, resting her chin on the candle, and said, "Very well, the last person has been gathered, let's start the next story...... Liquid ...... of blood red sè"
"Huh? Not done yet, huh? The sound of the mercury lamp came from the side, followed by a gentle flapping of wings, and a gently soft body landed accurately on his shoulder in the dark, "Stupid human, the yogurt at home is finished!" ”
"Oh, I'm going to buy it in the afternoon."
"Hey! Be serious! Lilina bared her teeth and threatened, "I don't believe there is not a single success story today!" ”
Seeing that everyone was quiet under his own authority, a certain black-bellied pseudo-loli smiled with satisfaction, and continued to tell in a low and terrifying voice: "This is a true thing that happened in the neighborhood recently, in London in the 16th century, there was a famous craftsman who made mirrors......"
The crowd immediately booed.
"One of the mirrors he made made came to China and was bought by an antique collector in the city six months ago – hey, you're shushing! This priest wouldn't use such a vulgar slot! Lilina looked at us proudly in the flickering candlelight, and shook a finger in front of her eyes, "Anyway, it's an old mirror, it's been an antique over the centuries, and it's been properly kept in the attic by collectors......"
A babbling voice immediately sounded from the wall not far away: "Boom!!" Hundreds of years! Antique mirrors! Human life is really short, I have witnessed the changes of time for hundreds of millions of years, and I know all the truths of the world. Hey, don't tell that boring story, let's talk to the magic mirror about everything in the world, it's better than that! ”
It turned out that it was the magic mirror that Lilina brought from the divine realm that was babbling, and I don't know when the girl hung it on the wall of the living room, and now the girl has a chance to spoil the atmosphere. Lilina immediately threatens the broken mirror with the burning candle in front of her, telling the latter to be honest before continuing her story. I have to say that a certain pseudo-Lori does have some ability, and despite some trouble, she managed to bring the atmosphere back to the state of a ghost story within a few words.
“…… Collectors find that their ceilings are always marked with strange red sès, and every morning when they wake up, they will see those red sès, constantly oozing out, and even dripping onto their chuáng, and in the afternoon, they will gradually disappear, and then reappear the next day, and the cycle will ...... again."
I felt like I was getting goosebumps, and Asa swallowed and cautiously asked, "Then he has to wash the chuáng sheet every day, right?" ”
Lilina almost planted her head on the candle: "Sister Qianqian, let's talk about it after listening?" You've ruined five of my stories! ”
"Ahem, go on. The collector has collected a lot of antiques, many of which are strange, so it is not the first time that such a strange phenomenon has appeared in his home, and he is not afraid, but decides to find out the truth. He set the alarm clock for three o'clock in the morning because he could confirm that the traces of the red sè would appear after three o'clock in the morning every day, and he wanted to see where the red sè liquid on the roof came from at that time. That night, the collector was woken up by the sound of an alarm clock, and he immediately turned on the lights in his room and kept his eyes on the roof – but the collector did not notice that his chuáng's alarm clock had been stopped at twelve o'clock in the evening...... It wasn't the alarm clock that woke him up. ”
Shallow nervously grabbed my arm, looking very scared: "His watch is broken, isn't he late for work the next day?" ”
I looked at Lilina and Shallow in confusion, then took out a Rubik's cube and stuffed it into the latter's hand, letting the girl play with it.
"The collector heard the sound of dripping water from upstairs, and then a blood-red liquid quickly appeared on the ceiling of his bedroom, drop by drop, dripping on his chuáng and on the floor, faster and faster, more and more, he realized that the situation was wrong, and immediately wanted to ring the alarm bell to call the guards outside, but found that the alarm was out of power......"
"That one, didn't he turn on the lights?" Viska held up his little hand, "There's electricity in the room, right?" ”
Pandora spat out four words: "Multi-channel energy supply." ”
The mercury lamp twisted on my shoulder: "Maybe someone cut the wire of the alarm - I didn't expect that the mirror from hundreds of years ago also knew the modern circuit." ”
Lilina stammered, and after a moment gritted her teeth, "Well, the alarm didn't go off anyway, you bastards!" Anyway, the collector noticed that something was wrong, and immediately rushed out of the house, to the antechamber, but where there was a door to the house was now a whole wall, the door, the window, and even the ventilation fan, and everything that should have been connected to the outside was gone, and became a wall: the whole house had been completely enclosed. And at this time, those red sè liquid has not only penetrated from the ceiling of the bedroom, but from every corner of the roof spread, dripping, flowing along the walls, the roof seems to have become a sponge full of water being pressed from above, quickly dyeing everything in the house with the viscous red sè liquid, the collector ran through every possible outlet of the house, but it was an indestructible wall, his body was covered with fishy blood, and the red sè liquid oozing from the roof was already like a torrential rain, The living room on the first floor was quickly filled with waist-deep blood, and the collector ran to the second floor in panic, the blood rushing down the stairs on the second floor made it difficult for him to walk, and when he accidentally slipped at the corner of the stairs on the second floor, he suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye-
It was a mirror, a very ordinary decorative mirror.
The collector suddenly remembered the ancient mirror he had placed in the attic, the only addition he had to his collection in the near future, and he immediately pulled out the tuǐ and rushed to the attic......"
"The ground is so slippery, isn't he afraid of slipping again?" Qianqian came over again, and suddenly became the focus of a lot of helpless eyes, and the girl who was extremely active in her thinking immediately stuck out her tongue, "Ah Jun, I twisted the Rubik's Cube." ”
At this moment, I really felt that Lilina was telling ghost stories in our family, and it started with a cup.
The goddess who told the ghost story gritted her teeth and scratched her ears and cheeks, and after half a minute, she finally calmed down and squeezed out the rest of the words from between her teeth: "Well, at the request of the audience, the collector fell again with a bruised nose and swollen face along the way, and it took a lot of effort to finally climb to the attic. He found that the attic collection that had been cleaned only yesterday was covered with thick dust, hanging with old cobwebs, as if it had experienced hundreds of years of vicissitudes at once, and in the open space in the center of the attic, the ancient mirror was placed alone, and the lower edge of the frame continued to ooze red liquid, straight into the floor, as if absorbed by a sponge, and disappeared. The collector dared to approach the ancient mirror, only to find that there was a different scene in the mirror than in the attic...... A dim oil lamp appeared inside, along with a hand holding an oil lamp. The collector approached the mirror and finally saw the man holding the oil lamp.
A man who looks exactly like himself, but with long white hair and a scruffy beard, as if he was himself after being locked up in a dungeon for twenty years, the collector in the mirror holding an oil lamp, suddenly grinned, and then ...... Out of the mirror.
A ghost, coming out of the mirror, stretched out his bony arm to the collector......"
Anvina's head suddenly popped out of the table: "And then, then what?" ”
I silently looked at my strange head maid: "Anvina. ”
"Huh? Master? ”
"Disappear."
Well, the little ghost is gone. But Lilina was already full of cows, and our great goddess saw that the end of the last story was also a disaster, so she directly pulled her throat and howled: "Wow...... Don't play anymore! What kind of people are in this family! ”
My sister got up and came to the window, opened the curtains, and the bright sunlight suddenly filled the room, Pandora looked at us blankly, returned to the sofa and sat in a daze, Viska came over and muttered how several of Lilina's unlucky stories ended before, Little Bubbles rubbed her eyes and woke up from a big sleep, and found the direction of her father accurately in a mushy state, and began to rummage through the candy in my pocket. The latter scrambled to pull out a lollipop stick to hold up the mouth of Little Bubble's teeth, and the mercury lamp unceremoniously taunted Lilina, who had failed greatly, while Sandora got up and stretched, and asked me about today's inspection.
"Ha, it's boring, it's boring," the magic mirror on the wall shouted, "look at your identity, you actually get together to tell ghost stories!" It's so stupid! ”
Lilina was squeezed by the mercury lamp for a long time, and then found the punching bag, and shouted angrily at the magic mirror: "Bastard! Shut up! Annoying! If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person! ”
The magic mirror confronted each other: "You just shut up!" I'm a mirror, and if you don't speak, you'll have to treat me as a dumb person! ”
Lilina pounced with a broken face: "It's over, the old lady actually let a mirror complain!" ”
I symbolically rubbed Lilina's head as a reassurance, and threw her collar into the basket next to me before the girl had to move an inch, looking at the circle of Superwoman in front of me who was idle and telling ghost stories at home, and felt quite ridiculous: "I said, why did you suddenly remember to tell ghost stories?" ”
"Isn't this Lin Xue's visit, you haven't met Lu Jian," she squeezed the Rubik's Cube in her hand, "She said that the ability team has been busy investigating a few supernatural events recently, and Lilina came to her energy after chatting for a while, but I also think tǐng is interesting, and when I was in junior high school, we girls often got together to tell ghost stories......"
"Me too, in high school, I created the great cause of one person crying half a dormitory, why did I fail so much now?" Lilina spread out her hands and looked confused, "It's all Anvina's stupidity!" Don't be funny when telling ghost stories! ”
"Well, though a maid shouldn't have interjected," Avena's head popped out of the table again, "but those ghost stories...... It looks similar to the dark city Sylvanas mentioned. ”
I pressed back the little ghost who never remembered to appear in a normal way, and asked curiously, "Has Lin Xue been here?" I haven't seen her for the past two days, why did I come and leave in a hurry today? ”
"Busy," Lilina raised her eyelids, "Isn't she still in the Ability Deck?" It was her grandfather's estate, but as one of the heirs, she only attended ten times in half a year, so that the old man was impeached, and now she is busy performing tasks to make up for it. Alas, I really sympathize with her. ”
I thought so, but I suddenly became concerned about the things I just mentioned: supernatural events? Is there anything else on Earth? RO@。
