Chapter 36: Coastline
The void in front of him gradually distorted, merging into reality like an endless Möbius ring. The space began to surge like ripples, showing strange fluctuations.
In the midst of this distortion, a handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes gradually appeared.
Teresa put the sword in her left hand, then clenched her right hand into her heart and said respectfully:
"Teresa Evelina, Angel of Power, may the glory of Eden shine upon you, and peace be with you."
The blonde young man who shuttled through the void just now was obviously stunned, and then he also returned the salute and replied with a warm smile:
"Hugh Abraham, angel of virtue, let the glory of Eden shine upon you, and peace be with you."
This slightly religious and serious way of greeting is really old in today's gradually secularized world, but Xia Xiu also wrote the preliminary image of the angel in front of him from this short photo and the information provided by [Adam].
An angel who strictly follows the rules and behaves a little old-fashioned, but who is upright and cares for his subordinates.
Teresa graduated from the Sowers Academy in the Unknown Lands, where she was the honor student of her class and the only female angel to be awarded the Red Book.
Most of the talents in the Kingdom of Heaven come from the [Sowers] and [Loyal Heirs] two houses, and most of the angels who graduate from the two houses will join the containment chamber or other civil service departments, and only a small number of elites will enter the relevant departments of the core institutions and the departments of violent agencies.
Teresa had been sent to the Isles of Corsica three years earlier to form a maritime patrol with several other angels and archangels there, and then the Kingdom of Heaven had formed an Authority in the world, and she had naturally become the head of the Corsica Authority. Her charisma is undeniable, otherwise Ioni would not have given up her dashing job as a bounty hunter and chosen to join the Authority and become a social animal of the kingdom of heaven.
Such a person is very suitable for working overtime for the beautiful Terra, and she can attract more people to become social animals in the kingdom of heaven, and work overtime until death for compensation!
This thought quickly flashed through the heart of the Heavenly Golden Retriever Social Animal, and the clear migrant workers who had been arranged by the long itinerary were so frightened that they wanted to let the other party work overtime together when they saw someone.
At this time, Teresa's eyes didn't know the dark thoughts in the heart of her top boss, her eyes fell on the metal head of the builder held in the hand of [Sisyphus], looking at the metal face whose logic was broken, she subconsciously frowned, she looked at the head with some uncertainty and said:
"This is the builder of the Cogwheel Orthodox Church, Lord Abraham, and he is..."
"In order to prevent him from linking to the backup machine and sharing the information, I added some 'good things' to the blueprint in his head. I don't want too many people to know that I'm in Corsica yet, and if anyone else knew I'm coming, they'd bury me deeper like maggots and disgust me with even more disgusting rituals. ”
Xia Xiu explained to Teresa quite experienced, and then he said to Teresa:
"You now have both the [Ombudsman] and the [Executive] of Corsica evacuated from the Bonifacio coast and let them carry out land operations to ensure the safety of the people inland, and I will go there and take care of it myself."
Evacuation from the coast of Bonifacio, where a massive anomalous reaction is taking place... Teresa recalled [Adam's] earlier detection information, her eyes subconsciously looked at the fog-shrouded coastline in front of her, and in front of her was the Bonifacio coast, and she was planning to lead the team to the shoreline to clear the anomaly.
Teresa turned her head and looked at the builder behind the blonde youth who was being carried by Sisyphus, and instantly dispelled the idea of going with her to help.
"Understood, I'll take the Authority's personnel to clean up the deep diver hybrids and thoroughbreds that have mixed into Corsica."
She immediately said she understood, and then began to give instructions to gather the other Authority personnel.
"Go ahead."
Xia Xiu was very satisfied with Teresa's resolute way of doing things, and after listening to his order, Teresa immediately began to act, she quickly gave this order through [Adam], and then bowed with him, and joined the mission of expelling the deep divers.
Xia Xiu silently looked at Teresa's gradually distant body, and only after making sure that the other party was completely gone, did he look ahead, not far ahead of him was the Bonifacio coast.
The geographical features of the coastline are very striking.
It includes rugged rocky coasts, towering white cliffs, natural sea caves, and crystal clear waters; Rocky landforms and wind-eroded landforms form a unique topographic landscape.
And under the thick fog, some huge creature looms out of the ocean.
On Bonifacio's coastline, a thick fog hangs like a wet curtain, obscuring the sea in the distance and the sandy beaches in the distance. This fog is different from the everyday morning fog in that it is thick, deep, almost materialistic, as if deliberately concealing some ulterior secret.
Only the strange figure that appeared intermittently and from time to time made the scene in the fog particularly strange. The figures were about six meters tall, and their silhouettes became distorted and unrecognizable in the fog. They seemed to be moving slowly along the coastline, walking steadily, in stark contrast to the silence of the sea of fog.
Then, from the thick fog, a strange murmur wafted out. The voice was low, as if it were far and near, as if it had emerged from the very bottom of the abyss, and as if it had fallen from some corner of the sky. They don't understand their language, but there is something ancient, primordial about that call them in fear.
As time passed, the figures of these deep divers became clearer and clearer, but their true faces were still hidden in the fog, and only their silhouettes could be seen.
Xia Xiu walked unhurriedly towards the shoreline, and at the same time, he whispered to himself in a voice that only he and the builder could hear.
"These deep divers seem to have lost their minds, although their beasts are indeed very large, but they are not really big enough to care about them like animals, their appearance seems to be imbecile, but in essence they are a highly intelligent race that is immortal unless killed. Moreover, regular divers will write in unknown script, and it is said that the thaumaturgy in the magic book that recorded the entire chronicle of the deep diver.
The original book of this magic guide book has powerful magical power, regardless of the ability of the sorcerer, he can use all kinds of water thaumaturgy and some high-level dark attribute thaumaturgy, and can summon and manipulate low-level water monsters from another dimension, and the name of this book is called - "Deep Sea Sacrifice Book". ”
"The original book is in the palace of the unspeakable ruler, the sleeping god, the lord of Ralaye, and no other human has ever seen this magic book, and all that is circulating now is a copy of it. There are very few copies of this book, and it is almost impossible for anyone other than the hybrid to get it, and the unreproduced hybrid just now did not have a copy, but used the "Laleye Book" instead of the "Book of Sacrifices of the Deep Sea". ”
Sisyphus approached the blonde youth with the builder's head in his hands, his golden eyes revealing a strange rune containing two intersecting triangles and an inverted half-moon.
"Crown Blessing, Timing Control——"
"Time Insight: Memory Rewind!"
"The Book of Sacrifices of the Deep Sea is blocked with the holy relics of the Church of Machinery, in the war between the Lord of Lalaye and the Broken God, the incarnation of the Lord of Lalaye [Beamon] and the incarnation of an organ of the Machine God fought fiercely in the Sea of Chaos, and the incarnation of the Machine God finally repelled [Beamon], but he himself was irreversibly damaged, so he chose to incarnate in the cage at the last moment to seal himself and [Beamon], and let his followers build a palace in the sealed place."
"Well, I don't understand why he finally chose to be imprisoned in a cage with [Beamon], the way of thinking of the machine god is really different from the way of thinking of humans."
Puff puff –
The Builder's skull began to smoke, and the [Blueprint Announcement I] in his mind to suppress the leakage of great technology and intelligence began to ring wildly.
[Blueprint Announces I: Mind Builds Out of Mind-]
In all mechanical churches that believe in the Broken God, ideas can be standardized, and the standardization of ideas requires five foundations, the five [Blueprint Announced], which allow readers to construct a more realistic concept in their minds in order to understand it more precisely, regardless of the form of the concept.
The goal of standardized thinking is not to produce stagnation, but to encourage creative growth and invention, to bring one's own mind and will closer to the great McCann, and to be advanced enough to understand McCann's truth.
At this moment, the analysis engine in the builder's mind slowed like a tractor, and he took advantage of the connection to McCann and some of the shattered divinity to briefly break free from the flashback of memory.
"Kill... It's over... I..."
As the buzzing sound intensifies, the exterior of the mechanical brain begins to explode with overload. The metal frame began to make loud pressure noises, parts began to be exposed, and the analysis engine began to make an overwhelmed popping sound.
Cracks spread rapidly across the outer shell of the mechanical brain, forming criss-crossing cracks.
Between these cracks, the interior of the mechanical brain begins to be revealed. First, some tiny chips begin to emerge from the cracks, and they are exposed to the outside environment and are no longer protected.
These chips have tiny wiring and electronic components that shimmer faintly.
Subsequently, larger parts began to be revealed.
Pieces of the core of the analysis engine appear outside, they are lit up by sparks, emitting a dazzling glow, and the light reflects off their surfaces, creating a colorful spectrum.
"Don't say these frustrating words, let me continue to look at your memories, oh, look what I found.
'Great Lord of Silicon, through this great calculus you have given me the wisdom to understand your true form, you have given me the power to run my life and the life around me, and you have given me the power to discipline all who stand in your way. '
Ah, it's amazing that the builders of the Cogwheel Orthodox Church would actually carry out [divine implantation], which is heresy, a great sin of disrespect. This kind of shared network implanted in the pineal gland allows the implanter to get closer to the 'gods' and the world, and can also connect to the entire Terra genealogy network, including illegal things on the dark web. ”
The demonic voice of the blond young man poured into the ears of the builder whose brain circuit had burned out, and he endured the pain and said word by word:
"You... Demons... I..."
"Kill you?"
The blonde youth couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
"Your builders all have the Aether Channeling Channel, and if I kill you now, your soul and spirit will be able to be quickly uploaded to McCann's network, and then resurrected with the help of a backup body. If I want to erase you completely, I can only use special methods on you, this series of procedures is very troublesome, and I need to get more things out of your brain. ”
"You... What the hell do you want..."
"What do I want? No, it's what you want, you and the divers are doing things so unscrupulously on Corsica, which makes our work very difficult, and it's because of your irresponsible behavior that I have traveled all the way here to help you wipe your ass, and you are embarrassed to ask me what I want. ”
The smile on the blonde youth's face grew brighter and brighter, but the feeling he gave was getting colder and colder.
"What do I want? It's what you want, you can't be a little more honestly stable. ”
At this moment, Xia Xiu was already standing on a cliff on the coast of Bonifacio, and the fog on the coast of Bonifacio was thicker than usual tonight, as if the dark clouds in the sky were only a few feet above the ground.
In this dense fog, which can barely be seen, the huge deep diver slowly moves forward from the surface of the sea, as if coming from some bottomless underwater kingdom.
These divers are tall compared to those on land, about six meters in height, their bodies slippery and coldly fluorescent, and every movement has something ancient, alien in their making. Their limbs are well-developed, strong and flexible, especially those hands, each finger has sharp claws that seem to be able to penetrate anything easily.
As they got closer, the icy sea breeze seemed even more biting, and the air was filled with an exotic, disgusting fishy smell. With an almost imperceptible speed, they used their powerful limbs to quickly grasp the stony canyons and steep cliffs of the coastline and climb towards the interior of Corsica.
In the thick fog, their movements were almost perfectly concealed, leaving only the figures that cut through the fog.
But even so, their suddenly revealed, huge eyes released a terrifying fluorescence in the mist, reflecting their movements.
