Chapter 18: The Shadow of Tiga
Just as TPC predicted, there is such a large-scale displacement of the stars in the sky, it is naturally impossible to hide from the ordinary humans living on the earth.
However, considering the impact of this incident, TPC did not fully disclose the truth of the matter.
In the official TPC report, it is only said that there is some kind of fluctuation in the gravitational pull of the solar system, which has caused small changes in the comet group in the outer solar system.
Since light does not reach the earth instantaneously.
In particular, light from outside the solar system takes at least a light-year to be distorted and transmitted into the solar system as it travels through the Ultracloud region.
So theoretically, it would take at least a year for ordinary people on Earth to really realize the seriousness of the event.
Therefore, TPC's rhetoric did not cause much commotion.
Although some people do not believe TPC's claims, they have not produced any evidence to refute this official claim.
So, under this premise and background, Lu Ke and Dina, two outliers among the ancient returnees, successfully came to Akihabara in Tokyo, Japan.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
"So, where are we going to find Sixth Avenue?"
Turning her head to look at her father, Dina, who had been wandering around the neighborhood several times, asked.
If you want to say this Akihabara, in fact, it is not big, and it is not small to say small.
Especially those dazzling shops, as well as the groups of two-dimensional otaku otaku, have refreshed Dina's three views.
Except for the heyday of an ultra-ancient civilization, Dina had never seen such a lively scene.
However, that was 30 million years ago.
Since leaving Earth, the survivors of ultra-ancient civilizations have struggled with how to reproduce.
Today, the number of individuals of ultra-ancient civilizations is on the verge of extinction.
In fact, this is a big reason why rebels like Luke and Dina are able to keep fleeing in the face of the pious.
Because even within the small group of the Pious, it is an extremely difficult choice whether or not to hunt down their own kind.
After all, no matter how different the philosophies are, the pious and the rebel are the only survivors of the ultra-ancient civilization.
"We don't need to go to Sixth Avenue."
Standing calmly at the door of a coffee shop, Luke, who seemed to have expected it, was very calm.
"Galvin will come to us on his own initiative."
As soon as these words came out, Dina suddenly raised her head in shock.
"You didn't block our whereabouts anymore?"
Unlike the one of the Devotion who is good at fighting.
The rebels of ultra-ancient civilizations are clearly more adept at hiding and escaping.
And in this 30 million years, Dina has long been accustomed to staying "hidden".
Now that he heard that Luke had lifted the "hidden" device without telling him, a creepy feeling as if he had been looked at immediately came to his heart.
"Actually, even if he doesn't continue to 'block' your whereabouts, I can find you."
At this moment, a slightly immature teenager's voice sounded behind them.
"Of course, that would be a little more cumbersome......"
"And I won't be in front of you like this."
As the two of them slowly turned around, what appeared in front of them was Lu Xuan, who appeared in human form.
"Ultra-ancient humans 30 million years ago? A returnee from the stars? ”
"Are you right?"
Calm, free, and even a little ridiculous......
Lu Xuan's eyes as he looked at the two of them were full of interest, as if he wasn't worried at all that these two people would be able to escape from his hands.
"Your Highness, Honorable One, the two of us have no intention of making enemies of you."
Respectfully performing an ultra-ancient etiquette, Lu Ke forcibly pressed Dina's head on the side and bowed his head towards Lu Xuan together.
"You have no intention of making enemies against me, of course I know that."
"But whether I will treat you as enemies or not depends on your sincerity in the future."
With a snap of his fingers, the environment around the three of them changed suddenly.
After a period of space-time warping, the three of them disappeared into the real world and came to the second level of the containment space on Sixth Avenue instead.
"This is ......"
Looking up at the dark sun in the sky, Dina's eyes were full of horror.
Because she suddenly found that after coming to this special subspace, her body suddenly became weaker than ever.
It was a feeling she hadn't had since she completed the "reincarnation ritual".
"This is a special space dedicated to you."
"Here, all your special abilities no longer work."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lu Xuan explained nonchalantly.
"Still, your life forms are interesting."
"There is no life magnetic field, no life energy, and even colder than the average mechanical entity......"
"But it's just such an existence, but it has real life and can move freely."
"Compared to those of your kind who have sublimated themselves into 'energy individuals', the research value of the two of you is obviously a little greater."
That's right, don't look at Luke and Dina are still human beings.
But in fact, they are no longer human in nature, just like those ultra-ancient returnees who can turn into "Mysterious Lifeform Sfia".
If you don't look at the ability and just look at the performance, these super ancient returnees have the same thing as Lu Xuan's "dark form".
The appearance of human beings is only their disguise.
Their essence is some kind of special life that has long been beyond human cognition.
"Your Highness the Honorable One......
"If you are really interested in our existence, I am willing to accept all your research......"
To Lu Xuan's surprise, Lu Ke said words at this moment that made the other two people present just surprised and sideways.
"If only you're willing to protect Dina for me."
"I'm willing to make any sacrifice for her."
Before the words fell, Dina immediately jumped out and shouted against the decision.
"Luke! What are you doing? ”
"I don't need your protection!"
"Isn't it just a human who was lucky enough to be recognized by the giants?"
"He doesn't deserve your respect, and he doesn't deserve to make you make such a choice!"
"Besides, it's not really a giant who admits him!"
"That's just Tiga's 'shadow', not a 'Giant of Light' at all!"
