Chapter 279: Foundation
At night, in an apartment of about 80 square meters in the "Strange Talk World".
Abner, Hugh, Edwina, and Filina gather to gather information from exploring the Black Cat Playground during the day.
- Due to the limited area of this world, an 80-square-meter apartment is quite a large house.
"Generally speaking, those 'fragmented' 'inner worlds' are actually the 'spiritual world' corresponding to this hidden space.
"It's just that, unlike the abstract and indecipherable spiritual realm in our cognition, the 'inner world' here appears more orderly, as if the reflection of a certain area of the 'surface world'.
"This should have been forcibly 'defined' by someone and borrowed the power of the 'Ghost Empire' itself......"
Abner recounts the results of his observations and points to the root of this "world" catastrophe:
"I'm afraid it's 'the two worlds merge and return to chaos'......
"The main body of the 'Ghost Empire' is the former 'Doomsday Witch' Monica, which is also very much in line with her own symbol."
After listening to Abner's analysis, Hugh said thoughtfully: "Is it Russell the Great's definition of 'inner world'?"
"Is he doing this to slow down the trend of 'merging the two worlds'?
"But this solution is only a 'slow death', and it does not solve the root cause of the 'disaster'."
Abner nodded, agreeing with her idea: "I also think it's Russell's handiwork...... I just don't know how the 'fusion of the two worlds' was caused, and even Russell, who was already an angel at that time, couldn't do anything. β
"Maybe if you find the items that Russell left in this world, you'll have a clue......
"In addition, you can also ask the people in power in this world, since they can come up with those 'strange talk codes' that contain power, they obviously know some inside information." Hugh is also a senior agent of MI9, and immediately gave several plans.
"However, we don't know where Russell's belongings are...... I don't even know who is actually in power here! In my character's memory, although the mayor is elected every few years, it is only the manager on the surface, and it is certainly not the actual person in charge behind the scenes. Mrs. Filina objected.
In response to her questioning, Hugh borrowed Adewina's mobile phone and called up the previous news of the "250th anniversary celebration of the birth of the saint Russell".
ββSince the technological level of this world is only the level of Abner's previous life at the beginning of 2,000 years, the 2G network has just been developed, and the apartment is relatively far away from the base station, so it took a while for the webpage to come out.
Hugh pointed to the picture on the webpage and analyzed: "If it is usual, you do have to spend a lot of effort to find it, but tomorrow happens to be the birthday celebration of Russell the Great!"
"From what I've heard from my 'characters', this kind of celebration used to take place every ten years, but recently it has become more frequent, and in recent years it has been held every year......
"I guess the celebration is just a cover-up, and the rulers of this world should be using it to hold some kind of ritual to maintain the power of Russell's legacy.
"So, I guess that tomorrow's celebration, whether it's Russell's items or the person in charge behind this world, will appear!"
Hearing this, both Edvina and Filina nodded after a moment's thought, thinking that Hugh's speculation was very reasonable.
Abner, on the other hand, thought of churches all over the North Continent, and felt that those in power in this world might be gathering "faith" to replenish the power of the items left behind by Russell.
After all, there are no gods in this world, and Russell, who opened his wisdom and brought civilization as a "saint", was naturally worshiped by the people.
Next, the four of them perfected the plan of tomorrow's action word by word, and then rested after washing up.
β¦β¦
At a sewer entrance on the edge of the city, a squad in special suit swooped down, muttering something and tapping on a step on a ladder from time to time.
However, the next moment, the ladder seemed to stretch out infinitely, and suddenly it became endless.
But the team did not panic, and climbed upwards again, and after climbing like this for more than ten minutes, their eyes suddenly opened up and they entered an open "field".
It's like a "world inside", but with a lot of wheat and vegetables growing in it, it looks like it's alive.
"Every time I see these crops, I feel that there is still hope for mankind, and we can finally defeat the 'end of the world'......" One of the combat team members muttered to himself as he looked at the wheat field.
But hearing this, the face of the team leader changed suddenly, and he said solemnly: "B-class combatant Robin, I suggest that you go for a psychological intervention immediately after this mission is handed over.
"You have to be clear that in the face of the 'monsters of the inner world', any 'weakness' and 'despair' may be taken advantage of."
The team member's face stiffened when he heard this, and he smiled bitterly: "Captain, I'm just complaining, there's no need, right?" β
"No, your spirit is already dangerous, your emotions are serious, and it is easy to become a nourishment for the growth of the 'inner world'!" The captain glanced at him, "Don't think I'm alarmist, almost half of the combat teams I've led have died because of this. β
"Okay, after the debriefing, I'll go for a psychological intervention." The team member shrugged.
After that, the team fell silent again until they walked through the wheat field and came to the door of an ancient castle.
"Restrict", "Protect", "Comply" ...... According to the regulations, looking at the line of text written by the saint Russell himself above the gate for three minutes, the combat team entered the castle and soon came to the mission hall on the first floor.
An old man with a white beard was already waiting here.
"Your Excellency Speaker, we have completed the first exploration of the new 'Inside World' of the Third Hospital of the City, and this is the ...... of the exploration briefing."
The captain saluted, then took out a floppy disk and handed it to the old man.
"Good work...... But you can't rest yet...... A D-Class has just reported that the 'Black Cat Playground' has changed......
"You have half an hour to prepare, and then set off to find out why." The old man said solemnly after taking the floppy disk.
"Yes, Your Excellency." The captain saluted again, and then led the team out of the mission hall.
Then he instructed his men: "Twenty minutes of free movement, and assemble at the door at eleven o'clock on time." β
After speaking, the captain looked at Robin, a member of the B-level team, again, "You can go to do psychological intervention, you can be five minutes later than them, and the time is in time." β
"Yes, Captain!" Robin said yes, but the moment he lowered his head, the corners of his mouth outlined a wicked smile.
β¦β¦
On the other side, the old man with white hair couldn't help but sigh after reading the contents of the floppy disk: "The invasion of the 'inner world' is becoming more and more frequent...... 'circumventing the code' is becoming more and more difficult."
"If this continues, it will be difficult for the Foundation to hide it from the general public.
"Fortunately, the time for 'prophecy' is near.
"I just don't know, the person who successfully sealed the monster in the 'Black Cat Playground' will be the new 'saint' in the 'prophecy'?"
