Engineer Wang's name is very unpretentious.

According to the pass, his full name is "Wang Yang".

There is only one word missing from a historical celebrity in Xiuge's impression.

And it turned out that the preparations that Engineer Wang had left behind in the distant past were quite reliable, at least until now, Xiuge had not suffered any losses by following his instructions and arrangements.

Xiuge pinched the activated pass and glanced twice at the location of Engineer Wang's body,

"Fellows don't pit fellows...... That's really a virtue. ”

He muttered something in a low voice, and then walked in the other direction of the hall, where the passage to the important archives of the continuation base was hidden, as Engineer Wang had given him.

The pass left behind by the Engineer obviously had a very high level of authority, and compared to other passes, the magic fluctuations emanating from it were stronger and clearer, and when Xiuge pinched it and walked through the hall, the delicate circuits buried in the walls and ground also faintly responded and resonated.

Soon, Shug was at the edge of the hall, and he bypassed the two corpses of the soldiers leaning against the wall, and then gently pressed the pass against the wall.

This kind of operation does not need to be too clear guidance, as a spellcaster who knows enough about circuits and rituals, Xiuge has already roughly understood the design principles and methods of this tool when he successfully awakens the pass in his hand.

In addition to the design of electronic devices, these so-called passes are actually "parts" stripped from large circuits, and when both parts and subjects are active, the two will naturally be connected, in this case, as long as he increases the output and infusion of magic power, the connection between the two can be naturally strengthened.

Siuge's attempt brought a response.

Just as he had just stepped into the hall, the flat wall not far away began to fold and collapse spontaneously inwards as if it had come to life, and in a matter of seconds, a passage appeared.

The light in the passage is very bright, and some of the straight lines inscribed on the walls play the role of illumination, and a faint light radiates from it, giving people a sense of calm and coldness.

With the foreshadowing and experience before, Xiuge was no longer surprised by this wonderful landscape, and he stepped into it quickly, and walked down the passage to the depths.

After turning two corners, he saw a sealed heavy metal door, and next to the door, there was a machine installed that looked like some kind of ancient "punch card".

Xiuge had to admit that the shape of this thing had some subtle associations with him.

"It can't be used for attendance, right?"

Xiuge muttered to himself, but the movements of his hands did not stop, and with his own knowledge and intuition, he pinched the pass and pressed it towards a square area on the machine next to the metal door.

The mana circuit here had been dry for a long time, so when the mana from Xiuge was injected into it, this part of the circuit actually appeared to lag for a moment.

Fortunately, it was not affected or damaged in any way, so after a brief pause, Shuge heard a crisp beep, and immediately after, a clear projection of magic appeared in front of his eyes.

The sealed secret archive was clearly very special, and through the flickering, rolling projections of magic, Hug found that the rigorous verification procedures he had performed as he passed through the sealed door of the outside world had been repeated in its entirety.

Soon, he saw once again what he was called in the entire magic loop system.

"Temporary Visitor 002."

It was at this point that Hug realized the subtleties of the title.

Himself is not "001", but "002".

Does this mean that there is another verified "temporary visitor" before you?

"So, I'm not the first latecomer to visit the 'Continuation Base'?"

Xiuge stared at the keys that were constantly rolling in front of him, and his thoughts kept changing, but he seriously recalled what he had seen and heard in the hall, but he felt indescribably abnormal and strange - he could be sure that the bodies in the hall had not been turned over before his arrival, especially the objects left by Engineer Wang and other important personnel, and there was no trace of being touched.

"If you want to explain this, there should be only one answer......"

"In the first case, the so-called temporary visitor 001 is not exactly targeted, i.e., the actual visitor does not exist, and the so-called '001' may be an empty code name, or an 'account record' that was used during the test but was not cleaned."

"The second scenario is that there was a qualified 'visitor' who came here before me, but that visitor didn't know the objects as well as I did, so he didn't really realize the important information hidden in the passes and the equipment......"

"Or maybe this visitor doesn't need to go through the trouble of getting information like I did, and he has his own set of methods?"

Xiuge stared at the words "Temporary Visitor 002" floating in front of him, and several different conjectures already drifted through his head.

As he pondered, the tedious and strict identity verification process finally came to an end, and with a hum, the long-closed metal door slowly slid open to both sides, and in the thick darkness, the engraved lines of the circuit endowed with luminous functions slowly lit up, and the soft light filled the entire space at a very fast speed, presenting all the details in front of Xiuge.

There is a striking difference between this "archive room" and the kind of "archive" that Hug imagined, in the soft light, he sees towering metal cabinets that run side by side to the ceiling.

These metal cabinets look like pillars that support the room, and next to them, there are one "punch card machine" after another.

"It looks like a variant of the 'electronic archives.'"

Shuge looked left and right for a moment, then stepped inside.

By bright light, Shog found the labels that were fixed to the metal cabinet and the "instrument", and after receiving the mana supply, the special labels based on the magic circuit and the operation of the multi-detector program were also clearly written.

Detailed species information, categorized works of art, historical records by country, region, or civilization......

As he walked along, reading the intricate labels, he noticed that the metal cabinets also contained delicate circuits that connected the massive "pillars" to the entire archive.

Tentatively, Hug probed his senses into these circuits, and then he discovered that the magic in these circuits was connected to the halls of the outside world—they were connected to the heavy pedestal, or the "continuation beacon" that remained in motion.

"It seems that this is more than just an archive room used to preserve the traces of civilization......"

Xiuge recalled what Engineer Wang said in the video: "The essence of the 'continuation beacon' is a 'cannon', a 'cannon' that sends a large number of energetic messages towards predetermined coordinates...... Judging from the current situation, this hidden secret archive room can actually be counted as an ammunition depot for the 'continuation beacon' on a certain level. ”

Hug pondered as he walked through this strange metal forest, and although he was very interested in this complicated knowledge in his heart, and very eager to know what kind of wonderful development his hometown had gone through, he now had a higher priority.

This is what Engineer Wang called "the operation manual related to the continuation base and beacons".

"This kind of important operation manual should not be mixed with other messages...... Should they be better preserved? ”

With this in mind, Xiuge walked to the nearest terminal.

The operation of the terminal is not cumbersome, and with his past experience, Xiuge quickly found the retrieval and guidance function, and after he directed the search target to "continue the base and beacon operation", the corresponding indication lines on the floor soon lit up.

They clearly extend deeper into the archives.

Shuge didn't rush to go, but tentatively asked the terminal.

"Do I have permission to look up past visitor records?"

Soon, the terminal gave a corresponding reply: "After detection, temporary visitor 002 has the corresponding permissions, is it immediately retrieved?" ”

After Xiuge gave an affirmative answer, the stagnant text scrolled again, and the return lines associated with the surrounding metal cabinets flickered at this moment, responding to the commands sent by the terminal, and the long-dormant flow of information was revived by the powerful mobilization of the magic loop.

The flickering lights and shadows, and the constant humming, made Shuge feel like a flying insect that had accidentally fallen inside an electronic device.

Soon, the flashing stopped, and the retrieval of data and records ended.

The emotionless words are revealed.

"Record retrieval completed."

Underneath this line of prompts, dense text spreads out, and Sug sees a list of different types of records, such as "regular visitor list", "staff list", and so on.

However, the list records are now in a red lock, and when Shuge tries to read them, he is told by the terminal that all the members of the list have been "logged out", which will cause their access to be turned off and their past activity records will be archived and locked.

Xiuge asked, "By cancellation, do you mean 'death'?" ”

To this, the terminal did not respond.

In desperation, Shuge could only flip through the locked list of records, and after flipping to the bottom, he finally saw his goal.

"Temporary visitor lists and records, that's it."

With the instruction of the Revision, the record was successfully opened, and it contained very few subclasses, only two numbers.

That is, "001" and "002".

"Really?"

Seeing this, Xiuge couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his heart was full of curiosity about the forerunner who walked before him, so he opened the "001" subcategory without hesitation.

A mental shock was transmitted along the magic circuit in the terminal, it was like a probe, piercing straight into the depths of Xiuge's mind, and then, with a slight tingling sensation, a huge amount of information was poured from inside this "probe".

The metal disc accelerated slightly.

An immensely clear image record emerges.

……

"A new visitor is detected and the review process begins."

"Please be patient."

The first thing that appeared was a blurry picture outside the metal gate before, and Xiuge saw that in front of the gate, there was a figure standing distinctly, because of the light, the figure seemed a little blurry, and he could only barely make out the slightly slender outline.

In the video recording, the cumbersome verification process that Xiuge had previously gone through is underway.

"Class I Authenticator Enabled...... The species verification has passed, and the list is now compared. ”

"The comparison of the first type of list is over, and no matching objects have been retrieved."

“……”

The experience of this "Temporary Visitor 001" is similar to that of Xiuge, and he also failed to pass the regular list of tests in the face of the detailed testing process of the continuation base, which also shows that the life characteristics displayed by the other party are not in the regular category.

Soon, all the detection of the regular list completely failed.

The wording of the inspection process had turned red as a symbol of warning, and on the surface of the gate, countless lines of gears of the same origin as metal discs emerged, and within these rolling gears, a terrifying aura of destruction was on the verge of erupting.

It is clear that the "Visitor 001" in the log is on the verge of a program used to deal with illegal visitors.

Xiuge originally thought that the other party would be like himself, and finally passed the test with a "key" hidden deep in his body, but strangely, the corresponding words never appeared, he only saw the red light symbolizing the warning getting brighter and brighter, and the magic circuit full of destruction had begun to operate in full force, if this development continued, this strange visitor who did not know whether to live or die was destined to be completely wiped out and erased.

But in the next moment, strange fluctuations spread out in the image, and an orderly and regular sound sounded in Xiuge's mind, the sound of the gears slowly turning, the wonderful music played by countless complex structures in the regular operation.

Xiuge was a little stunned.

He could barely tell if the source of the sound was his own metal disc or the slender figure in the image......
