As the image progresses, Xiuge's expression changes little by little.

Now, he has no way to describe his current mood.

Shuge was confused, uneasy, and even a little frightened.

Compared to what he had experienced in the Vana, the facts revealed by the traces and evidence before him seemed even more terrifying and bizarre.

Xiuge had to pause the video, he leaned on the huge console, turned his head to look at the two corpses that maintained a kissing posture on the side, he knew that the man among the two corpses was the "Engineer Wang" who left the video for him, and the person who hugged him was his lover, who was the main person in charge of the "continuation beacon" in front of him.

If he could, Shuge really wanted to wake up these dead people one by one and ask them questions.

However, this is impossible, even if there are many souls and memories-related magic and rituals stored in Xiuge's memories, these dead have become real empty shells, and after the unbelievable collective death and long wait, their soul traces have completely dissipated, even if the creators of the Abyss Court invade this place, there is no way to get any information from these bodies.

Shuge stared at the corpse, his mind constantly recalling every message in the image.

If everything he said was true, then Siug would now have to face an extremely strange and terrible fact.

The so-called Abyss, the place now full of gloomy destruction, where all sorts of strange and twisted things run rampant, and send fear and despair to other worlds, is the hometown he has been dreaming of.

A world that was once extremely prosperous and home to a diverse culture.

“……”

In the silence, Xiuge constantly combed through the many messages provided by the "Engineer Wang", and he was eager to find some flaws in them, or find some unreasonable points to support himself in overturning such a cold reality.

However, after going over and over the words a few times, Hug stopped this attempt, which was actually meaningless.

Hug realized that the other party had no motive at all, and there was no need to deceive a visitor who probably wouldn't come at all.

As the "Engineer" himself said, all the resistors in this facility are destined to end their lives here, and the final mission they will have to carry out is a mission that will most likely lead to nothing.

Under this premise, deception itself has lost its meaning, and it is precisely for this reason that the image left by this "Engineer Wang" is actually more like a strange suicide note.

The suicide note belonged not only to himself, but also to the last of the workers in the facility.

It was the last glimmer of light before the fire was about to be extinguished.

"If all this is true, then the 'Black Sun', which once seriously threatened Vane and the rest of the world, and the Abyssal Court, which has been launching the 'Great Hunt' for a long time, are actually the shadows cast in this universe by my homeland after its distortion......"

With his tenacious mental state, Shuge controlled his rushing thoughts and wavering emotions in time, and he returned to his composure and rationality, and began to continue to deduce on the basis of the current information.

"Theseus has compared Caljon, the Lord of the Sea, to the 'Black Sun' on more than one occasion, and the path chosen by the Lord of the Sea is to assimilate and merge the creatures of the entire world, along with the world itself......"

"According to the engineer's statement, the creatures that were 'locked' underground by the crystalline veins actually existed for a long time, and if it weren't for the destruction of this crystallization cage by mining, they might still have been imprisoned."

Xiuge looked back at the previous video, and after confirming the other party's words, he also faintly made a judgment in his heart: "Although there is no way to confirm whether the so-called 'Abyss Court' existed before these creations were released, from what is known so far, they were also affected by the messages in these souls after devouring a sufficient number of victims. ”

"While it is difficult to analyze exactly what the so-called 'thoughts' of these twisted creatures will look like, judging by the series of actions they eventually take, they should be committed to bringing the entire planet under their control, erasing all past life forms, and erasing as many hidden dangers as possible...... After that, the world itself became a part of the complex will of the 'Abyss Court' that could be perceived and manipulated, and thus the so-called 'black celestial body' was born. ”

Thinking of this, Xiuge's body trembled slightly.

Because at this moment, he, like the "fellow countryman" who left the image, also had a strong sense of fear, because Xiuge really couldn't imagine what kind of existence could create such a huge cage in a world, or a planet, and imprison a group of extremely dangerous beings in it?

And, will your hometown be an example?

Could the same be the case in other worlds?

Like Vann?

As a result, the originally soothed thoughts fluctuated again, because immediately after, Xiuge thought of the so-called "game world setting" that he had originally created.

Now, what was happening before his eyes reminded him again and again that the creative origins of his inspirations, and the words that came out of them, probably did not lie in his own brain at all, but from some indescribable transmission of information and suggestion.

Who could it be?

Theseus?

Or is there something else?

However, the faceless god still did not move, even if Xiuge had already shouted to Theseus by name in his mind, he did not react at all, and without a definite answer for a while, Xiuge could only turn his attention back to himself.

The video continues to play.

"When the 'Continuation Beacon' program begins to function, powerful fluctuations will sweep through the area surrounding the facility and exert a significant amount of incalculable impact on the entire area...... Under normal circumstances, of course, we should have evacuated, but now that we have nowhere else to go, the operation of the program means that everyone here will be thrown into the arms of death. ”

"It sounds cruel, but it's a blessing, at least we won't be torn to pieces and slowly swallowed by those shadows like the rest of our compatriots."

When talking about "death", the man in the video is quite optimistic, of course, the tiredness and helplessness that appear on his face from time to time cannot be concealed.

The same can be seen in other workers.

Although everything is still going on correctly in the video, Xiuge can also see many people who are on the verge of a breakdown, or who have simply collapsed, and it is clear that not everyone can accept such an outcome.

"Start commissioning now...... You can take a look at it, but I think when you come here, it will be even more spectacular. ”

In Engineer Wang's words, the pedestal of the "Continuation Beacon" has entered the debugging state, as the rigorous procedure progresses step by step, the lights in the hall gradually dimmed, and with the continuous improvement of the readings on the pedestal screen, a faint yellow light flashes from the reserved beam channel, and then, the green pass mark on the screen used for recording on the operating table has jumped out.

As a result, the program worked very well.

"The test is complete, and everything is ready."

Engineer Wang said lightly.

In Xiuge's memory, there should have been cheers or applause, but this time, the people in the hall were silent, except for a few scholars who gave their companions a hug, and then began to reset the pedestal.

"Well, then it is not surprising that the work here will soon be over, and it just so happens that I will take this opportunity to say a few more ......."

The picture shook twice, but it was the engineer who pulled a chair and sat down on the edge of the inconspicuous position, and while looking at his lover who was still busy from a distance, he asked in a low voice: "I used to be very resistant to this kind of thing, because I didn't think it made sense...... But now we can all feel the infinite potential of those forces, but unfortunately, we have not been able to embrace them on a deeper level, but can only combine these forces with our inherent technological system. ”

"Tsk...... What a pity, what would it be like if such a power could be controlled by the human body? That's probably the case with the 'extraordinary' image in literature and entertainment, right? ”

The camera pans to the engineer's big face, who stares at the camera and asks with a smile, "I don't know about you...... Not in this category? ”

"But even if it's here...... There should be many, many troubles to deal with next, after all, if different fields want to be combined, the difficulty is not ordinary. ”

"Speaking of which, I'm curious about the world over there, God knows what kind of civilization can evolve under different environments and foundations? I hope you will not be like us, you can only climb up in war, destruction, and conflicts of interest, which is really painful and unnecessary, and in many cases, we will even suspect that we are trapped in a huge circle, and as long as there is no way to break the cycle, there can be no real liberation and development. ”

"Okay, I'm telling you what to do, you don't necessarily understand, and those things don't necessarily work in your world......"

At this time, Engineer Wang probably did enter a relaxed state, he slowly said inconsequential words to the camera, which was like chatting into the air.

"Oh yes, after the 'Continuation Beacon' is officially launched, all of our passes should be automatically locked by the system, but well, if you are interested in something else, or if you want to know more about the 'Continuation Beacon', you might as well go to the corner of the lobby where there is a painting, in an empty cargo box, I have a specially treated pass, which should be able to help you open the locked archive."

"Good luck, latecomer."

……

"Waiting for your good news!"

In one of the wards, a slightly hoarse voice sounded, and then an envelope was handed to the young member of the Sword of Dawn, and the middle-aged man with a somewhat pale face nodded at the young man: "Don't forget to get a few new secret rituals, there are many attackers who have infiltrated the plains recently, be more careful." ”

"Yes sir, I hope you recover soon!"

"Don't worry, I'm almost fine."

The young man nodded respectfully to the "middle-aged man" who was half-leaning on the bed: "Then I'm leaving!" ”

"Good luck!"

The young man quickly left the room, closed the door gently, and disappeared to the other end of the corridor with a light step.

"Ahem!"

The middle-aged man coughed twice, then got up from the hospital bed, picked up an overcoat and put it on, and came to the desk with a slightly deformed metal cane and sat down, where the papers were piled up and needed to be dealt with urgently.

However, before he could open the first document, the door was pushed open again.

Sally walked in, and for ease of movement, she streamlined her attire to look like a female scout running on the front lines.

"Mr. Felix, are you awake? I thought you'd have to sleep a little longer. ”

Sally looked at the middle-aged man sitting at the desk with some surprise, and then she stepped forward and put the document on Felix's desk: "If you insist on dealing with work, then you might as well take a look at them first, the teacher is worried about this matter, and it would be best if you could give advice." ”

"Miss Sally, you've been a little too polite."

"I'm sorry, sir...... You're middle-aged now, and you deserve the respect of young people. ”

Sally smiled, she skillfully picked up the water glass next to her, turned around and helped Felix, who was already much older, make a cup of hot tea: "Well, the same recipe as the teacher, add half a spoonful of St. Steele's sweet syrup." ”

"Okay, thanks."

Felix took a sip of the teacup, the slight sweetness from the tea made him frown, he still couldn't quite understand Meyer's taste fetish, however, the information in the document made Felix quickly enter the state of work, he frowned, his sharp gaze swept between the lines repeatedly, and then he shook the paper and asked, "Meaning, there is a traitor within us?" Is this the professor's judgment? Where is the source of the message? ”

"A report from a resident of Overwatch that we have secured her, and the teacher believes that this matter is most likely related to the attack on our headquarters some time ago."

Felix nodded, he thought seriously for a while, then drank the tea in the cup, stood up with his cane in his hand: "Let's go, let's go now...... I'd like to see the whistleblower first! ”
