17. Hextech Bureau, Fatalistic Visit
On a tulle-shrouded Roman bed, a quiet girl is taking a nap. She lay on the bed with her clothes, and through the tulle curtains, she could still see the girl's delicate and convex curves, which led to reverie. Sunlight streams into the room through floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a golden glow on her body. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the girl's sleeping posture was quiet and beautiful, and it was unbearable to wake her up.
The wall clock on the wall slowly moves over time, the sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling windows gradually dims, and the shadow lines in the room gradually move outward. The quiet and elegant boy stood in front of the bed and stared at the girl's sleeping face, silent, waiting quietly for her to wake up.
The sun finally disappeared into the sky completely, and a huge shadow enveloped the room. The world outside the window was brilliantly lit up, and although it was night, it was like another day, a day artificially created by machines and civilizations.
At this moment when the lights were on, there were no electric lights around this room, and the girl's beautiful face lay quietly in the dark, breathing steadily. The mechanical bell tower outside struck eight times at this time, and the majestic sound of the bell echoed through the city repeatedly. Finally, it comes to rest.
The girl's slender eyelashes opened, like a water lily opening its petals one by one, and her posture was breathtakingly beautiful at this moment. When he opened his eyes, he had dark blue pupils, and even in the dark, he still exuded a cold color that caught the heart.
"You're here. Orianna rose gracefully, her voice calm, slightly breaking the silence.
"I don't like the feeling of being surrounded by light, whether it's natural or artificial. Oriana whispered, "The artificial light is too hypocritical, the natural light is too hot, but they all make me feel lonely." ”
Chu Kunyang listened quietly, without any movement or speech, as calm and resolute as a reef in the tide.
"Every time this happens, I meditate. Orianna stretched out her slender fingers and touched the void in front of her: "Meditation bloodline brings us strength or loneliness. ”
Chu Kunyang looked at her pupils in surprise, and the colors in her pupils bloomed in great layers, showing him a new world, a ...... His unknown world!
"Come out with me, the train is coming. Oriana said lightly.
"Train?" Chu Kunyang was puzzled.
It was indeed a train, and he believed it when Chu Kunyang accompanied Oriana to Cretius Square. Along the way, Oriana walked in front, taking casual steps, Chu Kunyang followed her quietly, and kept a distance between the two of them, neither close nor far away.
The Plaza de la Crittius has now been renovated, and the traces of the base station from the previous two days have been completely erased. The potholed floor was re-marble, the night wind was cool, and no one could see the square, as if there were only two of them left in the world.
But there are by no means just the two of them in this square, when the stars in the sky shine down, you can vaguely see the metal reflection of brass in some places in the square, which is the continuous firing system worn by the guards who defend this square, even if you can't see it clearly, Chu Kunyang also knows.
"Whenever I see this brightly lit city, I want to escape. Orianna stretched out her hand to Chu Kunyang, "What about the Hex Technology Core that gave you that day?"
Chu Kunyang obediently handed the metal cube to Oriana, Oriana took it and twisted it a few times, and handed it back to Chu Kunyang, "I know that I am an alien, and you are the same, in the era before the tragedy came, we still had time to hold the power." ”
The voice landed, and the sound of the low roar of the machinery and the sound of the gears rubbing against each other came from under his feet. The ground beneath their feet trembled and sank, and then the starry sky above became more and more distant, and at last there was no glimmer of light.
They were completely plunged into darkness, as if they had walked into an abyss, somewhere. When there was a slight vibration of the land beneath his feet, the "crackling" sound of electricity surging in the darkness on the opposite side sounded, and the blinding light brightened. The contrast between darkness and light was too strong, and Chu Kunyang subconsciously raised his hand to block the scorching light.
The roar of the mechanical engine blew through them with a strong wind, and the powerful air currents caused their robes to swing wildly. Chu Kunyang adapted to the sudden light, put his hand down, and saw the metal snake in front of him clearly.
When it comes to the status of this thing, Chu Kunyang has no doubt that it can be compared to the Poseidon String, which is known as the "miracle on the water". There are no traces of welding on the structure alone, as if it were a naturally formed mechanical structure. The bronze alloy carriage is not very reflective, and the streamlined front of the carriage is engraved with the unique emblem of the Hextech Science and Technology Bureau in white gold, and nearly 20 carriages are mounted. It's an empty underground space, and the blinding light is the light that turns on in this space. The ground in front of me was paved with solid steel tracks, and this space existed as a tunnel, a top-secret tunnel that led to the legendary Hextech Bureau.
"The purpose of this tunnel is to transport the large machinery produced in the Hextech Bureau to the outside, and there is no more way to get to the Hextech Bureau, but we can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble if we take this train. Oriana said, "Get in the car." ”
The high-strength alloy door slowly opened in front of them, Chu Kunyang followed Orianna in, he was stunned for a moment when he looked into the cab, the driver's seat was empty, this train has no driver!
"It's the same with or without a driver, and there's only one route anyway. Oriana saw Chu Kunyang's doubts: "It's me who controls it, the thing I gave you is called the Hex Technology Core, as long as it is a machine made by the Hex Science and Technology Bureau, it can be controlled, just now I used it to open this tunnel and bring in this train." ”
At this time, the train was moving, but the inside of the train was very stable, and there was almost no sense of inertia caused by vibration and acceleration, and if it were not for the rapid retreat of the rocky waves outside the window, it would have the illusion that it had not moved at all.
Judging from the information fed back from the scenery outside the window, the train has accelerated to a terrifying speed silently, and the things outside the window pass by in a flash, and even the outline cannot be seen clearly. Chu Kunyang glanced at Oriana, who was sitting opposite, she was sitting precariously with an indifferent expression. At this rate, it is long overdue to leave the city of Crittius. But isn't the Hextech Bureau in the city of Critius, and what if it's outside the city? Chu Kunyang was a little puzzled.
Before he knew it, the train had stopped, and the door opened silently, Chu Kunyang glanced outside and was very surprised: "This is ...... Krithius Volcano?"
It is indeed the Krithius volcano, and this volcano is also one of the symbols of Avinia, because there is only one volcano in Avinia, and this is the Krithius volcano. This volcano is very tall, and its peak can be seen in the entire city of Critius, and Chu Kunyang saw this volcano when he entered the city, so he felt puzzled. Because it's still an active volcano, it's unbelievable to say that Hextech is in this volcano.
"Sometimes exaggeration is not necessarily a kind of concealment, and what you see on the outside is not necessarily true. Orianna said, "What you see on the outside is just an illusion. ”
They were now at the foot of the active volcano, and when they stepped out of the train, the ground beneath the train began to sink, and by the time the ground rose again, the train was gone.
"It's the transport lane, and we'll go through the furnace over there, and it's going to be hot on the other side, so we'll go through the front door. Orianna pointed out a sign on the mountain wall to Chu Kunyang, and the mountain wall was engraved with a giant bird roaring in the sky, and in the center of the bird's eye was a regular hexagonal snowflake. The bird's posture was sacred and inviolable, but it was just a carving, but it showed the majesty of the god vividly, as if the bird would break free from the stone wall and fly out.
"Frost Phoenix Anivia, have you ever heard of it?" Orianna gently stroked the emblem on the carved eye, as if she was afraid that the legendary phantom beast would break free from the stone wall and wake up: "When it reigns over the world, this world will be covered by extreme cold. ”
The virtual giant bird stretched its wings on the carving, but the body carved in stone carried the majesty of a god.
The stone wall suddenly opened! The passage inside was revealed, and Orianna made a "please" gesture to Chu Kunyang, and she took the lead in entering the passage. Chu Kunyang hesitated, but still followed without saying anything.
After walking along the passage for a distance, Chu Kunyang noticed that something was wrong, there was obviously no light in the passage, but the walls of the passage were glowing dark red like a red-hot soldering iron. Chu Kunyang touched it with his hand suspiciously, it was cold.
"Don't think about it, this is the Krithius volcano outside, but the material from which this passage is made is special, it is completely insulated. When it was first built, you could see the flow of red magma from the inside, but now the surface has been attached to a layer of magma sediment, so it looks dark red. Oriana patiently explained to Chu Kunyang.
By the time they were talking, they had already walked into a hall that was supposed to be the workplace of the Hextech Bureau personnel. All kinds of people are busy here, and they all bow slightly in respect when they see Oriana, and it seems that Oriana is not that cold in everyone's hearts.
Chu Kunyang looked around here, a large number of mechanical parts were thrown on the ground at random, some people seemed to be concentrating on the mechanical structure diagram in their hands, and some people were sipping on spirits while fiddling with the mechanical parts in their hands. Precious silver alloy bearings, platinum gears, and some unnamed mechanical parts were thrown all over the floor, and those who wanted to use them picked them up from the ground themselves, and the research atmosphere here was really ...... "open" or chaotic.
"Hey, try this. Oriana casually took a strangely shaped burst system on someone's table and handed it to Chu Kunyang: "This is a honeycomb burst system, the recoil is three times that of an ordinary burst system, but the power and range are first-class." ”
Chu Kunyang took the continuous shooting system and glanced at it casually. This burst is very heavy to the hand, and the barrel is not only one like the ordinary burst system, but a full twelve barrels form a regular hexagon, which looks like a beehive, which is probably where its name comes from.
Chu Kunyang looked at the target on the wall, and then turned his head to look at Oriana, meaning that there were so many people here, and it didn't seem appropriate to shoot here, Orianna motioned for him to continue.
Since this is the case, Chu Kunyang raised his hand and aimed at the target and pulled the trigger. The moment he fired the shot, he felt that what he was holding in his hand was simply a crazy catfish, but he managed to control the huge recoil and not be knocked to the ground. Choking smoke rose from the muzzle of each barrel, and if you looked at the target, the center had been completely destroyed, and the destructive power of this thing was truly unparalleled.
The sound of the shooting was very loud, but the people here did not have a big reaction, they were all indifferently busy with their own affairs, and no one paid any attention to the random shooting of people in this place that was regarded as a mechanical paradise by the outside world, and it seemed to be a common thing for them to shoot at will here.
Chu Kunyang put down the continuous shooting system and waited for Oriana's next words, but what she said next surprised Chu Kunyang.
"These are just pediatrics, and now we meet my teacher, and we will reveal to you the origin of this world. Oriana said, gesturing to her head, "The power of machinery comes from the human brain, but the power that can really destroy the world comes from the bloodline. ”
