Table of Contents 223: Darkness looms
The place where Ling Xiu used to repair the lemons was chosen in warehouse 70.
Four days had passed, and Bai Ye had set foot in the scientist's holy land for the first time.
There were other people who followed Bai Ye in, and the moment they entered the room, they saw two steel beds with two girls on them, one of them was naturally a lemon, and the other was a strange girl, but they felt that she and lemon were the same type of thing.
"Xiao Ai brought you here, it seems that I can't wait, don't worry, the installation of the energy tank is very smooth." Lemon's body was already intact, his eyes were lying there tightly, as if he had only been asleep for a short time, and it was difficult to find traces of the scars left at the beginning, Ling Xiu's technique was indeed speechless.
"Some of the parts on her body have been broken, but fortunately I have a guy like her here, who happened to borrow a little. Taking off the white gloves on his hands and throwing them on the table, Ling Xiu stretched out tiredly.
"This girl is ......"
"The egret, she and the black dove were created at the same time, and they were permanently dormant because they ran out of energy. ”
"This is what the magician wants?" Bai Ye approached and looked at the appearance that was no different from that of an ordinary girl, "She also has a bomb in her body?" "Of course, but she also went into hibernation, and nothing will happen, I hid her because of the magician's invasion." Ling Xiu said and pressed lightly on Lemon's ear, and then a sharp grinding sound sounded from the position of the plump chest, "Click, click, click......" The slender eyelashes began to tremble slightly, and then slowly opened, and those dark blue eyes saw the world again.
"The hosts. After sitting up, seeing Bai Ye, Lemon shouted respectfully.
"Welcome back. Bai Ye said with a smile, and Bai Ruoyan, Yun Yi and others around him also showed sincere smiles.
"What's the matter, I remember, still on the battlefield......" Lemon's last memory fragment is Cain's rampage and his own ruin.
"It's over, we won, Lemon. Bai Ye said and turned to Ling Xiu, the guy seemed to be staring at him with strange eyes, "Repair Lemon, thank you." "That's not really important, there are some things I don't want to tell you, but for some reason, I changed my mind. Ling Xiu pulled the collar of his white coat, his expression gradually became strict, "Before the war with the magician, you once guessed what I was hiding, that's right, I did cover up some important things, the magician didn't come to this ruin, it was not all to take away the egret, after all, no matter how powerful it is, it's just a toy that has lost its energy, his real purpose is to kill me, more specifically, to kill me who knows some secrets." "Secret?" This was actually very close to Bai Ye's guess, before the first reincarnation, he heard the conversation between Ling Xiu and the magician, and gave many clues.
"Because I know that magicians come from what people call their ideal home, utopia. Everyone was silent, surprised, surprised, and inexplicable, but the only thing that was the same was that everyone reacted to one word, utopia! The city that only existed in the ideal of human beings was now really mentioned by Ling Xiu.
"You're not kidding, are you?" Luo Yunxiu ignored Qi Yu's disgruntled gaze and questioned first, "The so-called utopia is an ideal city without war, disease and suffering, and that kind of fairy tale-like thing really exists?" "I have also determined it after many years of research, and scientists will not believe unfounded conclusions. Ling Xiu, who had his hands in the pockets of his white coat, turned to Bai Ye and Qiyu, "Originally, I didn't mean to tell you, but the other night, I heard the two of you say when you were looking at the stars that you want to look for utopia, if it's a serious idea, then, I can tell you everything I know, but after you know those things, maybe an assassin like a magician will even target you." "How many guys like magicians are there?" Bai Ye considered the pros and cons, and then quietly glanced at the prayer beside her, and she also had a solemn expression.
"Wait, why did Xiao Bai go to see the stars with Qi Yu, this is a split!" Bai Ruoyan jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on, but was pressed back by Yun Yi presciently, "Bai Ye, if Ling Xiu was hunted down because he knew about Utopia, whether it was true or not, we might encounter a similar situation." As an elder, Yun Yi had to selfishly remind him that although it was important to complete the agreement with the prayer, the lives of the Bai family sisters and brothers were even more important.
"There's nothing to be afraid of, I hope I will meet someone like that. Although Luo Yunxiu did not believe that utopia existed, he was happy to see a powerful enemy coming to his door.
Qing Yu sat silently on the battleship, quietly listening to everyone's arguments.
Lemon and Nia looked at Bai Ye together, and they only obeyed this master.
"Bai Ye, don't listen to it...... Then the danger ......" was the first to waver.
"It's okay, I'm going to take you there sooner or later. Bai Ye waved his hand to interrupt the retreating words of the prayer, "Say, we are obliged to know a qiē." "Xiaobai, you've been getting hotter and hotter lately, and you're not like you anymore. Bai Ruoyan pursed her lips, as if she was very dissatisfied with Bai Ye's partiality, "If you know something we shouldn't know, there will be trouble." I don't know if it's an illusion, the last warning is completely different from Bai Ruoyan's usual sweet voice, with a burst of coldness.
"Sister, the other party used to put us to death, and this time they joined forces to destroy the magician, maybe the other party has already blacklisted us......" And in Bai Ye's opinion, now that the magician has been eliminated, Utopia may not know that he and his people are involved there.
"Hopefully you won't regret it. Ling Xiu clapped his hands, Xiao Ai walked to the end of the warehouse knowingly, groped on the wall for a while, and then opened a secret door, in which an electronic lock was installed, after the skillful password input, the wall slowly opened, and in front of everyone was a spiraling staircase.
"Follow me. Leading the way, Ling Xiu and Xiao Ai stepped on the stone steps and walked down, followed by Bai Ye and the others.
"Bai Ye. Qi Yu, who was walking beside Bai Ye, raised his head and looked at the side of the other party who had matured a lot at some point, "For my sake, let everyone be in danger...... "It's not your turn to care about our safety as a dragon, right...... Don't worry, you know, I've always been sure of what I do. Lowering his voice, Bai Ye cautiously looked around, Ling Xiu knew that the content of his conversation with Qi Yu that night should be that there was a small weapon nearby, and he didn't notice it.
After the Magician Incident, the vigilance of the ruins of the night capital has been strengthened a lot.
"It's here. "At the end of the stairs, there is a huge space, filled with all kinds of strange machines, but they don't look like they're working, and they're all sealed here.
"These things, I've seen them before,......" Bai Ye couldn't help but speed up his pace, crossed Ling Xiu and Xiao Ai, and came to a huge square machine, his fingers touching the cold skin, "In the Sunset Canyon." "Sunset Canyon, isn't that where Nia was found, we've never seen anything like it. Of course, Bai Ruoyan would not have thought that her younger brother had seen these things in Nia's memory world.
"These machines can be used to change the land, the air, and create new environmental conditions......"
"At the time of the demise of human civilization, a certain scientific group launched the World Purification Project, which was originally supported by various countries and had to be stopped in the end, but basically, the foreshadowing has been completed, and the World Purification Program is completed through these machines. Ling Xiu walked to Bai Ye's side and pointed to these machines that were already dusty, "If this plan is launched, the range of human activities will be drastically reduced, so it is still forced to stop in peacetime, but the sudden uprising of the three major clans gave the scientific team the opportunity to forcibly start the world purification plan, firstly, in order to use the changed environment to curb the pace of the three major clans' advance, and secondly, they will not allow years of hard work to be wasted." "Do you mean, those mutated realms now are all because of these machines?" Bai Ye's mind flashed to the places he had been, because of the changes in the environment, the animals living in it had evolved differently, and finally evolved into the current world, and there was also a profession like extradition.
"I'm not sure if there will be such a basement in every realm, but as far as I know, there are such devices in the underground of the realm that is now controlled by the thirteen extraditers. Ling Xiu continued to walk forward, as if there was something else in the deeper darkness, "You must be wondering, what does this have to do with utopia, next, is the most important. Walking to the smooth wall, Bai Ye and the others were all stunned when they looked up, a girl dressed in black was nailed to the wall by several black iron pillars, no, that girl should also be a puppet-type weapon.
There is no life in the delicate face, like a decorative specimen, nailed to that far away.
"Wherever there is a power room, there will be such puppet girl guards, they all have the combat power of no less than the black dove, the guy here was killed by the egret, and the result is that the egret himself is exhausted and sinks into eternal sleep. Ling Xiu raised his head and looked at the figure hanging in mid-air, and couldn't help but think of the expression he showed when he first stepped into this room, " Now, let's talk about utopia, when humanity was almost wiped out by the three major races, some of the people in that scientific team contacted other scientists, fled to a safe place, and established a small city, there, is utopia, as for the puppet girls who were placed in the power room, their original role was to protect the purifier from destruction, and to tell the surviving humans who arrived here, how to get to utopia. "So, we could have gotten through this girl and arrived at Utopia?" Bai Ye raised his finger and pointed at it, his heart was already in turmoil on the surface, what Ling Xiu said was simply unheard of, and I believe that other people are the same now, their minds are in a mess.
"When I found out here, the egret and she had no energy and entered eternal sleep, but I had a little love, and I knew about the things just now, but the part about how to get to Utopia was too strict to be extracted during the battle, so it can be said that it was completely lost. Sighing regretfully, Ling Xiu turned around, "Originally, these puppet girls were set to be kind to humans, and other species would attack indiscriminately, but as time passed, the group of people in Utopia seemed to have changed their minds, they didn't want the world to know that there was such a happy land, and they were safely hiding behind the scenes, controlling the world, just like ...... God-like. ”
"What kind of god do you say, isn't it just a group of cowards who hide in the shadows and dare not come out, and there is also a suspicion of voyeurism. Bai Ruoyan unceremoniously evaluated the people in Utopia as worthless, even with strong contempt, "Xiaobai, pray, the place you want to go to doesn't seem to be so beautiful." The prayer was silent, and Bai Ye was a little surprised by the fierce reaction of the old lady.
"That's right, I think so too. Ling Xiu shrugged, he had been killed more than once by the guys from Utopia, and naturally he didn't have a good impression of them, "Also, what I told you today must not be mentioned to anyone else, especially the association!" "Why?" Bai Ye said, as if he understood something, "Do you think there is a connection between the association and utopia?" It's just a suspicion, and it's because of the emergence of the realm that there are realm guides and extradite people, and after that, the association was born, which seems to be something that came into being, but I always feel that there is something strange. Bai Ye finally understood the reason why Ling Xiu was killed by magicians hundreds of times and refused to ask the association for help, this Frankenstein didn't believe in the association from the bottom of his bones, and the only one he could trust was probably Ling Zeai.
"I don't think the association will be controlled by the people of Utopia, but I will keep your reminder firmly in mind, thank you. After that, Bai Ye and the others left the underground and set off to return to Shenzhou at dawn the next day.
"Utopia will get rid of those who know they have zài, and the magician won't be the last assassin, be careful along the way. "This was Ling Xiu's last advice before Bai Ye and the others left the ruins of the night capital.
The ideal township seems to have been dyed with an ominous color.
Has the idea of prayer also changed?
Bai Ye didn't know.
But one thing, Bai Ye can still be sure.
Ling Xiu must have known how to travel to Utopia, and when he said that the puppet girl's memory data was damaged, he made a habitual action, which was his habit when he lied.
Bai Ye didn't mention this matter to the others, since Ling Xiu was willing to tell them so many things, there was no reason to hide it any more, unless, the method of going to Utopia would endanger Ling Xiu's own safety.
In the dark basement, Ling Xiu stood in front of the puppet girl who had long since lost consciousness, looking up at the perfect shell eroded by time.
"They're gone. Xiao Ai came behind him and reported in a low voice.
"I didn't tell them how to get to Utopia, do you think it's right or wrong, little love?"
"Can't trust them. ”
"Why?"
"The only thing the master can trust is me, and only I will not betray. ”
made a categorical statement, Xiao Ai said it very definitely.
"Ah...... That's right, if you sue Bai Ye and them, the extradition and the Thousand Treasures are the key to utopia, then, maybe he will kill me to do the truth, that kid's eyes tell me, he really did it. Ling Xiu pressed his hand on his chest, and under his chest, he buried the tools of a thousand treasures that belonged to him.
The world never thought to link the two.
There are a total of thirteen pieces of Thousand Treasures.
The origin and maker are unknown.
The number of extradition persons of the Association has also remained at thirteen forever.
After Bai Ye became the extradition of the Free Realm, one extraditable person died immediately, and the number of people remained at thirteen completely.
Is it a coincidence?
Or......
It's all written in the script of the group of people in Utopia.
Ling Xiu grabbed Xiao Ai's hand, feeling the only warmth for him.
