Chapter 152: You Humans... Call it the 'Divine Seal'
At this time, inside the dark and dead passage.
The cub always used the flashlight of the mechanical armor to see the huge rusty mechanical door, and the badly corroded door number next to it.
On it, the anomaly number A-FBC-1000 is clearly written on it, using some kind of engraving process.
Not surprisingly, this control room is the same sub-race of the human family.
At this point, the cub couldn't wait to step forward, wanting to get a glimpse of the anomaly.
However, in his heart, he was already prepared that there was nothing inside, or only bones left.
After all, this parallel world seems to have passed a long time, so long that life has disappeared.
And even if there is any danger, his mechanical armor can make those anomalies and people not visible.
So overall it's pretty safe, like a bystander's perspective.
Therefore, the cub is always fearless and explodes with curiosity.
"Come with me, brothers, and witness the living history. The creatures in here are from the previous advanced civilizations. ”
With that, the cub always came to the door.
Sure enough, the rusty mechanical door closed tightly.
And because of the power outage, it is impossible to turn it on,
Unless violence continues!
In addition, the sharp-eyed cub always saw a skeleton in a security suit by the door, and he was still holding a gun in his hand.
"There are guns! Brothers, there are pistols! But does this still work!? ”
The cub always stepped forward to try to pick it up, because this VR game claims to be able to pick up everything that can be seen.
The pistol in front of you should be no exception.
However, it turns out that the gun in front of him can indeed be used.
As soon as the cub gets closer, the game enters the real-time calculation animation.
The protagonist slowly crouches down and picks up the gun from the bones.
Under the illumination of the flashlight of the head armor, the dust on the body of the gun was fluttering, and the thick dust covered the shiny appearance of the gun, which looked very old.
"Tsk, so much ash, can a gun with little maintenance still work? Don't be dumb and blow up when the time comes. ”
The protagonist puts away the gun, and the cub regains control.
So, he punched the mechanical door in front of him.
Suddenly, there was a loud collapse and smoke and dust.
No matter how many times this move comes, it makes him feel heroic and brave.
"Haha, this armor makes me feel like a god of war."
The cub always smiled, stepped through the dust, and stepped into the control room.
At a glance, you can see that in the center, there is a cylindrical mechanism that looks like a life-sustaining mechanism.
The surface is a mirror-like smooth reflective material, so that people can't see the inside of the cylinder.
"This Nima, I can't see inside."
The cub always came to the column, and through the smooth mirror surface and flashlight light on the outside, he could clearly see the faint darkness of the control room.
But unexpectedly, he couldn't see himself.
Yes, this can reflect the cylindrical surface of the environment, but not its own figure.
This makes the cub a little speechless.
While this is the case in many games, the protagonist is modeled, but the model is not visible in the game's glass or mirror.
If it's in another game, it's understandable that the cub is still understandable, after all, the game needs to be optimized, and unnecessary resources need to be reduced.
Five Generations of Rivers, Mountains and Moons
But here in the only game, it's a bit out of the ordinary.
The production team was also thorough before, so how could this detail be missed?
Or did they think of a lot of possibilities, but they missed the specular reflection?
The cub frowned at the thought of this.
"Well, it doesn't affect the game anyway. If you can't see it in the mirror, you can't see it, and the mirror in "Face" can't reflect the protagonist either. ”
So, the cub no longer bothered about this, and stepped forward to touch the cylindrical device in front of him.
In the next second, the game enters the real-time calculus.
This shows that the plot has begun, maybe 1000 is still alive?
At the moment, the cub was always looking forward to it.
The audience and fans in the live broadcast room also held their breath and stared carefully with wide eyes.
At this point, in the game, the protagonist slowly stretches out his hand.
But before he touched the life-sustaining device in front of him, a voice came from inside.
[I see you... Hairless race...]
The protagonist of the game was startled, and the hand that he wanted to touch froze in place.
Because this voice, with its strange intonation, is not at all a language known to man.
The reason why the cub can always understand it is because there are subtitles in front of him.
The game translates the heavy, harsh tone of the moment.
"That's the racial language of 1000? Nima, can he see me inside? ”
The cub always frowned slightly, is the stealth function of his armor only effective for humans?
Soon, as if to dispel the doubts in the player's mind. In the game, an incomprehensible astringent sound is once again emitted from within the cylindrical device.
[Concept Fine-Tuning Mechanics...] Absolutely rejecting the outer protective gear... Take it off... Cognitive shielding doesn't work... Invalid...]
The strange tone of voice made the cub always raise his eyebrows.
"What a high-end word, I don't understand it. What concept fine-tuning, what cognitive shielding, refers to stealth? ”
At this time, the hand of the protagonist of the game, which was frozen in place, moved slightly and hugged his head.
Then, there was a sound of metal grinding.
The mechanical head armor on his head was removed.
Suddenly, the cub always found that the smooth cylinder that could not reflect the protagonist's figure was also reflected normally at this moment.
But because it's more distorted, it's hard to see the appearance of the protagonist.
This scene made him a little stunned.
Then the cub always reacted, this is the stealth function of the mechanical battle armor has also worked on itself.
I thought it was because the production team didn't take this into account.
As a result, in fact, the production team did it, but the effect of the armor was not visible.
Now that the head armor is taken off, the stealth function is naturally gone, so the figure can also be reflected.
"Good Nima has logic! It is estimated that other games will be directly one-size-fits-all, which is as in line with the setting as here! ”
The cubs always love this game more and more.
Now, after the protagonist takes off his skull, the cylindrical device resounds with a non-human racial language.
[Is it you...?] Wrong... It's not you... I understand... He did it... He made the swap...]
[You're so pathetic...]
What do you mean?
The cub always frowned slightly, and he was confused when he heard this. But before he could think about it, four dialogue options appeared in front of him.
[1.Are you A-FBC-1000?] 】
[2. Hairless race? 】
[3.Why doesn't this set of protective gear work for you?] 】
[4. (Silence)]
The cub always ignores the 4th one first, and then chooses the remaining 3.
He thought about it, but there was no need for 1 and 2 to ask.
Because there is a high probability that there is 1000 in the cylinder, after all, this is his control room.
As for the 'hairless race', it is definitely human.
Therefore, these 4 options cannot be guessed by the third one.
But the production team came up with these 'knowingly' dialogue options, which should not be used to make up nonsense, obviously with ulterior motives.
Anyway, take your time.
The cub always chose 3 directly, and then, the protagonist spoke.
[Why doesn't the stealth of this mechanical armor work for you?] ]
yes, why?
Is there anything special about you?
The cub always thought to himself.
In the game, the cylindrical device once again emits a non-human racial language.
[Our technology... Our creation... This is a protective gear against the Siluris...]
"What do you mean? That's 1000 stuff!? ”
At this moment, the cub was always surprised.
Unexpectedly, this mechanical battle armor that can make people instantly have a tile throwing is actually the technology of 1000 of their race.
Damn, millions of years ago, how terrifying their technological civilization was!
In addition, how strong are the ancient humans who wiped them out!
The cub was already speechless in surprise, but compared to him, the protagonist of the game was relatively calm. There was no emotional reaction other than saying that it was impossible.
It fully demonstrates the well-informed quality of the protagonist.
At this point, the conversation options are updated again.
[1. What is a Silurian person? 】
[2.Are you A-FBC-1000?] 】
[3. Hairless race? 】
[4. (Silence)]
The cub did not hesitate to choose the first one.
Because of this new term, he was very curious about what kind of existence it was, and it could actually allow the strongest civilization on the surface millions of years ago to develop this kind of technology that is extremely advanced even now to fight against it.
So, the protagonist speaks.
[Silurian people... What is it...? ]
The cylindrical device was filled with a shrill and unpleasant laugh.
[Human curiosity has always been the driving force behind the pursuit of death, and it is and has been in the past.] ]
At this time, the cub did not notice that the voice in the cylinder had become smooth unconsciously.
He just listened to what was going to happen inside.
[This planet had many intelligent lives in ancient times, but those were all independent and did not develop civilizations.] Until the third epoch of the Paleozoic Era, the Silurian period began. A higher intelligent life was born, and a race and civilization developed at a rapid rate. They are technologically advanced and capable of captive and modified post-generic dinosaurs. They are bloodthirsty, slaughtering anything they can on the surface. To them, the ancestors of Australopithecus were just prey. Because they took pleasure in hunting Australopithecus. ]
The sound of the cylindrical device paused, muttered, and then sounded.
[In order to fight them, Australopithecus evolved our subordinate over a long period of time.] We lurk in the darkness of the night, strong. We have well-developed brains and creative abilities. We fought the Silurian with our lives and blood. As for those of you who live in the sun... What is the use of eating and reproducing...]
Hearing this, the cub's head was a little unresponsive.
Silurian period?
Although he didn't know much about history, he also knew that it was the age of the earth a long, long time ago.
It was even more than 200 million years before the Jurassic period when dinosaurs existed.
Just 1000 said something.
Are they technologically advanced?
Groove! Did Bluestar have such an extraordinary modern civilization in the Silurian period!?
Even earlier than 1000 of their race?
And 1000 of them were born to fight against the Silurins?
No wonder...
No wonder 1000 their technology is so advanced.
How do you fight against a higher civilization that has existed since the Silurian and continued to develop until the advent of Australopithecus?
A: Develop the same technical skills as them.
So, the race of 1000 appeared.
Thinking of this, the cub couldn't help but be a little shocked.
"I'm dripping mom... How many advanced civilizations did this blue star in the game send..."
"But don't the entire Silurian period above the Cambrian also have any advanced civilization, that would be really terrifying..."
At this point, the protagonist of the game calmly speaks.
[I'm sorry for the grave crimes committed against you by the ancient humans, but I'm not from this world, and I want to know what's going on here, and what's going on out there?] ]
"Huh? The protagonist directly revealed his identity? ”
The cub always frowned slightly, feeling that it was too early.
But the next moment, the sound of the cylindrical device made his expression stunned.
[I know you're an 'outsider', I can see that disgusting 'thing' in you.] It's ridiculous that ancient humans themselves were as clean as we are, just because of 'it'. You're getting dirty, you're twisting, you're getting sick. ]
[As for you wanting to know what's going on here, look around you, it's obvious, isn't it?] Dirty humanity has been exterminated from the world. ]
As soon as the words fell, in front of the cub, the dialogue option appeared again.
[1. Why are humans exterminated? 】
【2.‘ Who is it? 】
[3. Does the Federal Bureau of Control still exist?] 】
[4. What has become of the world? 】
The cub always looked at the options, thought about it, and directly chose the first one.
If nothing else, mainly these four options, he wants to know.
But he was stuck in a difficult choice, and he really didn't know which one to choose, so he planned to follow the simplest method, starting from top to bottom.
If there's an option to miss out, then... Read it again!
So, the protagonist immediately speaks.
[Human... What is it that is exterminated? ]
When the cylindrical device heard this, it let out a shrill laugh again.
In this, even through the game, the cub can always hear the mockery.
[You humans, in some experiment with spirit and soul, discovered the existence of 'it'. And also under the deep sea of the Chicxulub crater, the body of 'it' was discovered. ]
[It's ridiculous to think that in ancient times, you could not resist the temptation, accepted 'it', and committed the sin that is imprinted on your genes.] You are trying to erase your memories and return to your original life to forget 'it' and forget this sin. Now you have rediscovered it and learned that it has always been present in your consciousness and has never left. ]
[You were afraid, you wanted liberation, so you were exterminated, and it was done by your own hands.] ]
[Extermination is the only thing your race can do for the benefit of the world.] ]
Seeing this, the cub didn't react yet, and the protagonist of the game was the first to speak.
[Experiments of spirit and soul...] Could it be the Pneuma (soul) plan? No... FBC's purpose is to perpetuate humanity, and it is impossible to make such a decision! If there are no human beings, what can we talk about continuity? So it must be the so-called 'it' that affects humanity! ]
At this time, in front of the cub's eyes, the dialogue option resurfaced.
【1.‘ Who is it? 】
[2. Does the Federal Bureau of Control still exist?] 】
[3. What has become of the world? 】
When you see these 3, you almost don't have to think about it, just choose 1.
So, the protagonist, who was a little excited, immediately questioned loudly towards the cylindrical device.
[Tell me...who is 'it'...?] Or...what is 'it'...? ]
The cylindrical device was silent for a moment, then tauntingly spoke.
[This is a question that all intelligent life in the world wants to know.] The Silurian people 500 million years ago called 'it' a catalytic inorganic substance for life. Titania Monitor, calling 'it' a genetically modified base station. And we, call it 'it' cognitive polluters. You are the only human beings, who delusionally think that 'it' can bring eternal life, and foolishly worship 'it' as a god and call it...]
[... Divine Seal. ]
------Off topic------
Space is limited, and there is a chapter of boss battles, and the rest of the truth will be mixed in the boss battles, pulling out the stories of ancient times and the situation in the modern world. But I won't tell you all, because some of it will be reserved for Banana and the next game.
