Chapter 447: Abnormal Shadow Space
Chapter 447: Abnormal Shadow Space
"It's really a leisurely time that I haven't seen in a long time."
Leaning back on a bench in the small park, I squinted my eyes slightly and stretched comfortably in the warm morning sun.
Two weeks have passed since the events in the Kprustar District ended, and a group of idle imperial leaders have returned to their daily lives, and Shallow has regained their amazing vitality, and has begun to drag a few small wanderers around the city's major amusement parks and theme parks, Sicaro and his sore officers and soldiers are still fighting tenaciously in the battle of encirclement and counter-encirclement, my sister and the little ghost are studying how to make authentic braised eggplant rice with Azeroth's ingredients, and Sandora and I ...... Well, as the head of the Empire, you really can't indulge yourself like those heartless people, especially now that the Fallen Apostles have reappeared, and we've been running almost all the way to the shadow space lately, and of course, now.
Anyway, being lazy and dozing off in Shadow City shouldn't be considered leaving the post, right? Sandora has all come over and slipped away......
The place we are in is different from the rest of the Shadow City, and although it looks like the same modern urban scene, the obvious difference in style from the surrounding neighborhoods is a testament to the specificity of this place.
A replica block of the school city。
In order to give travelers from all over the world a greater sense of belonging, many of these special urban districts have been established in the shadow city, such as the community where the Misaka sisters live is a perfect replica of part of the school city, and even includes a bustling commercial street voluntarily operated by the emperor ** people during the vacation period and a middle school taught by the emperor ** official, where the Misaka sisters live, go to school, rest, and according to the information from 10031, the sisters are very satisfied with all this.
And in a few other places far away from here, the Stormwind City Community, the Silver Moon City Community, and the Orgrimmar Community are also being established, including the Misaka sisters, the residents of the various worlds know each other's existence, and it is said that this mysterious city that lives in the gap between the planes and has gradually become the hub of the world world has been rumored to be a magical existence similar to Gensokyo among the worlds, although except for the Misaka sisters who have been officially citizens here, Only those who are regarded as legendary heroes in their respective worlds are qualified to come to the city to "serve the gods", but under the huge population base of several races combined, those alien districts with different styles have gradually become lively, and occasionally a few Misaka sisters take a car to visit the Minotaur village or a few alchemists of Silvermoon City come to give chemistry lessons to the Misaka people are gradually becoming daily. Under the management of the Imperial Chengguan Brigade (I don't know how Sadowes came up with the idea of setting up this in the Shadow City), travelers from all worlds with different ideas and cultures are communicating with a sense of novelty and surprise, but in an orderly manner, which is a good phenomenon.
With the empire as the center, it has gradually become a huge offensive and defensive unity, and this is the true meaning hidden under the joyful daily activities of the shadow space, although so far under our camp and can be called the only one that can be called the Salvation Army of Azeroth and the Vidis Alliance (strictly speaking, it is the alliance of various countries with the Vidis Goddess Order as the main force, but because the Vidis Empire is the first to be selected by the "Savior" and the strongest empire, This coalition is habitually known as the Vidis Alliance) and the magician forces of the Forbidden World, but the speed of development is enough to be gratifying - and it is certain that the Kpuru and Protos who have lost their homes and can only survive under the protection of the Empire will become part of our huge legions once they recover their strength, even if these legions are not as powerful as the regular army of the Empire combined, they are not cannon fodder, and their combat effectiveness will definitely increase exponentially under the huge base.
And more importantly, when the many worlds gradually form a whole defense system, even if the Fallen Apostles launch a frontal attack on us, they will have to weigh their own battle damage, right?
This is one of the reasons why we can still feel at ease in the face of the growing threat of fallen apostles: unlike the fallen apostles, who can only develop on the sly, our power is expanding at an astonishing rate.
Well, thanks to the special attributes of the shadow city, the projection space born in this concept has an incredible ability to grow, as long as the amount of information collected and the computing power of the Xiling host group that serves as the core of the city is enough, this space can continue to grow, although I don't know if the road can reach infinity, but it seems that it is no problem to store a fantasy village.
And in this magical city, which has become more and more fantastic, there is an even more jaw-dropping magical fellow: the silver-haired silver who is sitting next to me, squinting happily and sucking the fresh orange juice, Miss Sylvia, the supreme commander of the Imperial Raven Force in a sense.
Living in the most incredible city of another dimension, surrounded by non-human creatures from all worlds at any time, and even occasionally rumbling over his head a mecha formation, and from time to time a forsaken queen will come in front of him, but he is still living in his own simple and happy little world unconsciously, firmly believing that the city he lives in is a simple and beautiful place where he can eat and wear warm clothes, and he uses an incredible dull nerve to deal with all the abnormalities in this city, this guy......
Happy as a mole.
These are Lilina's exact words, and I don't know what the similarities exist between a former fallen apostle and a mole, but Sylvia's simple happiness is the envy of each of us.
In other words, are the Apostles of Xiling in the mysterious department all having the characteristics of being easy to raise? Not to mention the mass-produced ravens, Sylvia is a simple guy who can enjoy a day as long as she can eat enough, and Alaya is a person who survives by photosynthesis...... Well, if Shandora, the big eater, can survive without even photosynthesis, and if Sandora, the big stomach, can have half of them, we can use the money we save to invest in real estate.
"I always feel like you're speaking ill of me," Sandora immediately cast a strange gaze, then lowered her head and wiped out the pancake in my hand in an instant, "Jun, I still want to eat it." ”
But the pancake stall has been eaten and wiped clean by you, and you haven't even let go of other people's pans
"It's famous for baking crepes here—" Sylvia slowly ate her pancakes, drank the remaining orange juice in one gulp, and then sucked her fingers as she unfolded the memory mode, "Ah, yes—it seemed to have thundered yesterday, and I didn't sleep well, but the weather forecast didn't say there was a thunderstorm—"
Thunder?
I looked speechlessly at the dim black shadow in the sky that was almost invisible, thunder can make a spatial crack, Sylvia, your self-hypnotic ability is really terrifying, and it is no wonder that after the laboratory explosion, Tavir was not worried about what doubts Sylvia would have recently, has this guy reached the realm of being at the end of the world and enjoying himself?
There is some kind of mental disorder in Sylvia, which is the conclusion of Lilina and Tavel's joint research, and although it is inconceivable that the Apostle of Sylvia has a mental disorder, there is no other reason to explain Sylvia's current situation.
She has created for herself an illusion that we cannot comprehend.
It sounds like a protective shell formed in the heart of the kind of extremely autistic person, but Sylvia's situation is very special, she is not autistic, but looks quite cheerful, and it is not an exaggeration to even describe it as silly and happy, but deep down in her heart she stubbornly builds a strong fortress for herself, in that fortress, everything is simple and beautiful, everyone is simply full of kindness, life is full of sunshine, she turns everything she touches into something that can be explained by this world view before accepting, As a result, no matter where she is, there will only be a happy little world in the eyes of this silver-haired slow half-beater, and Lilina believes that it is this strange mental disorder that makes Sylvia's reaction speed and filtering of outside information always so strong: there is a firewall between her reflex arc and the outside world.
Hawkers, although this statement is very reasonable, but even Lilina, a psychology expert, admits that the magical reaction speed of a certain second stay is more due to her own sluggishness......
"Hmm—is there anything on my face?" Sylvia looked at me quizzically, then wiped the corners of her mouth as she slowly muttered to herself, "Ah, it's pancake crumbs - by the way, what about the crepe stall just now?" ”
Half an hour ago, they went home and pounded the ground because the business guy was eaten by their own queen.
Lilina and Tavel have different theories about what Sylvia is doing for her, the latter is explained by the soul characteristics of the Apostle of Sylvia, believing that Sylvia's spirit body has suffered a huge impact, and it is likely that some of it has completely died out, and the mutilation of the soul makes Sylvia choose this spiritual self-lock to protect herself, while Lilina analyzes it from a psychological point of view, she thinks that the slow half beat is something terrible to the extreme, and an almost permanent psychological shadow destroys the reason of Bellavira,The subsequent birth of Sylvia is another personality used to protect herself,Of course,After suffering a huge stimulus, it can produce a strange mentality of "the world is always beautiful"It is obviously psychologically inexplicable,Lilina said that she is very interested in research......
Anyway, no matter how different the opinions of the two research experts were, there was one thing they agreed on: don't try to heal Sylvia's mental defects no matter what, and don't heal Bellavira out of sympathy even if her soul is finished, otherwise she will either metamorphose into another depraved apostle or collapse herself because a painful memory is awakened, neither of which will be a good result.
"By the way, Chen Jun, I also encountered a very strange thing......"
Even if none of us pay attention to her, Sylvia can still let her mind wander to herself, but I still want to ask: Is there really something in this world that makes you feel strange?
"The other day—when I went to the shopping street, I met someone who looked exactly like me—" Sylvia said slowly, as usual, but the content made me break out in a cold sweat, "but she ran away as soon as she saw me...... Did I have a twin sister or sister before I lost my memory? ”
After "Sives" asked Sandora to stabilize Sylvia for a while, I immediately connected with the lieutenant who ran the city, "Where do the ravens live now?" ”
"Report to the chief, they live in the barracks in the central region," Sives replied immediately.
"Something not so good happens: you have to strengthen the discipline of the ravens, a few days ago a raven wandered near the shopping street of the forbidden district and ran into Sylvia"
The sudden* situation made Cives nervous too, and she immediately set about checking which raven was running around at the time, while I turned my attention back to Sylvia......
Well, it looks like I'm overly nervous, and the silver hair seems to have forgotten about the stubble.
Sandora shrugged at me with a smile and a mental connection, "She didn't even know what she had just brought up. ”
As a clone of Sylvia's soul,Raven is absolutely not allowed to meet its mother,In the bubble calculus,There is a nearly 30% chance that such a stimulus will make Sylvia have mental turmoil,It's impossible to incarnate as Bellavira,But it's hard to guarantee that she won't fall into self-collapse and dissipate like she did in the school city.,So we have a mandatory order for every raven.,No matter what.,It's strictly forbidden to appear in Sylvia's sight.,They all have the perception of their mother......
Wait, no, every mass-produced raven has the talent to perceive the position of its mother, and that kind of soul-level resonance is even ten thousand times more accurate than radar, as a well-trained and absolutely obedient raven, how can he not take evasion when he perceives that the mother body is in front of him?
You must know that Sylvia's reaction speed is stupid, even if the oncoming raven appears in her sight, this guy may not be able to react in a few seconds, let alone the Apostle of Xiling, even an ordinary person can turn around and walk away in these few seconds, right?
That is, under normal circumstances, it would never be possible for a raven to run into Sylvia head-on - unless the raven did so on its own initiative, but the chances of the Apostle of Hiring disobeying the order ...... It's.
Sure enough, less than a few seconds later, Cives connected to the psychic connection and reported: "Report that the chief's investigation has been completed, and it has been confirmed that the ravens that met Sylvia are the first batch of 068, but ......"
"But what?"
"Raven 068 reported that she had suffered a very brief spatial imbalance and found herself standing in front of Sylvia when she adjusted her coordinate sensors."
I looked at Sandora, who had been listening, and I saw a hint of consternation in each other's eyes.
"I'm sorry Sylvia, but I suddenly remembered that Asa asked me to go out and make soy sauce...... You're slowly in a daze, we'll withdraw first."
"I'll help Ah Jun get the soy sauce bottle"
Leaving these two sentences, the two imperial heads of state had turned into a gust of wind and rumbled away, leaving Sylvia stunned for a long time after the wind howled, and finally came out slowly: "Ah, be careful on the road - what about people?" ”
Pulling Sandora all the way to the wild, we rushed to the control core of the Shadow City almost at supersonic speed, there is an unprecedentedly huge Xiling mother nest, after our Xiling host reaches a certain number and several key technologies related to improving the efficiency of the host have made breakthroughs, this place has replaced the original automatic control center of the space, this pyramid designed and built by Bubble himself and constantly modified and strengthened is the most important place in the entire shadow space, it is located in the center of the Shadow Fortress, and is protected by layers of strict layers, In its internal host slot group, there are at least three Xiling hosts connected at all times, and the situation of the entire shadow space is precisely controlled by this brood, and if something happens to this space, this will also be the first place to detect.
When we heard Sives's report, the first thing that came to our mind was: something went wrong with Shadow Space
Spatial imbalance, this is a general statement, it includes many situations, such as the sudden exchange of coordinates between two locations, the sudden disappearance of a certain part of the space, a small range of random teleportation, etc., etc., no matter which case, it means that the law of space is partially out of control, and in a place like the shadow city that is always under artificial monitoring, the spatial imbalance means that this space is gradually out of our control - of course, maybe it's a bit nerve-wracking, but ......
If you live in a nuclear power plant and you suddenly hear a loud click next door, I don't believe you can calm down
Knowing our arrival, Sivis was already waiting in front of the brood gate, and as soon as Sandora and I appeared, she hurriedly greeted us, leading us in the direction of the central computer room while reporting the information that had just been collected:
“…… We have just completed the search of the Shadow City Limit System, and found no traces of destruction of the spatial integrity, but according to the information sent back by probes from various places, there are indeed some anomalies in our management system, but most of those anomalies are very weak, and even things that cannot be detected by humans, and the largest should be the spatial imbalance event encountered by the raven...... Due to the recent focus on the city's operational priorities for armament build-up, reports of these possible glitches were suppressed until I was rummaging through the Raven operation logs just now......"
With the report of Xiwei all the way, we have come to the central computer room of the brood, where there is a large crystal prism distributed in the shape of a star, which can be connected to more than 30 Xiling hosts at the same time, and now what is presented in front of us is the spectacular scene of all 33 Xiling hosts connected around the central bubble.
Now the computing power in this place can almost deduce the entire history of the evolution of the universe from the Big Bang to the present a hundred times in one minute......
"Bubbles, how's it going?"
I stepped forward and tapped twice on the crystal prism in the center, waking up a little girl who looked like she was working at full strength, but I still had good reason to believe that there must be more than twenty games at the same time.
"Ah, the kid's father" Bubbles opened her eyes and saw that it was me, and immediately happily leaned on the inner wall of the crystal prism, "We just made a big discovery"
(Okay,I decisively asked for votes.,There's an imperial fanfic written by a certain gentleman in the post bar.,If you have a lover, you can go over and take a look.,Let that guy abandon the pit casually...... )
