Chapter Eighty-Six: Traces of Traceback
"Now let's see who's playing witchcraft at the spire." Qin Mo said as he raised his scepter and gently tapped the ground.
The shattered building was restored to its original state in an instant, and the heavy walls once again stood in front of the two of them.
Yao couldn't believe his eyes, he had seen the building blown to shreds, but now it had been restored.
Shocked, Yao En couldn't help but reach out and touch the wall, only to find that his hand could penetrate the wall directly, which made him feel as if he was in a place where the laws of physics were severely distorted.
"It's a scene similar to an image, I didn't let them be restored, you couldn't have touched the wall." Qin Mo said, "The effect of trace backtracking. ”
Trace backtracking is an ability that Qin Mo naturally mastered when the power of the Star God gradually recovered.
In the eyes of the stars, the timeline of the entire material universe is visible, and they can see the traces left by every movement of the various particles that make up all things on the timeline, and by stripping away these traces on the timeline and presenting them, they can truly reproduce the scenes that appeared in the past.
Just like it is now.
"Come in with me." Qin Mo immediately took a step, penetrating the wall of the building that had traced back to the traces, and entered the room inside.
Ryan hurried to follow.
The two of them walked through the building together, and they did not have to follow the rules of normal life, such as entering and exiting through the door and taking the stairs to the second floor...... Every wall and every object here can penetrate the past, or it can be concretized into a useless entity in obedience to Qin Mo's will.
It was a very novel experience for Ryan, and if there were four words to describe his complex emotions and feelings right now, it would be walking with God.
The two of them weaved and searched through the building, and after passing through another wall, they both froze in place.
Directly in front of them is a room with a man and a monster inside.
The man is a bruised old man, and the monster is ...... Indescribable.
"This ...... What the hell is this? Yao En stared at the monster.
There are hands and feet in the mouth, large mouths and eyes on the hands and feet, and the huge body is full of hands and feet, eyes and mouths, and many huge tentacles-like limbs.
Not only is the appearance of this thing indescribable, but it is also terrifying and disgusting.
"Chaos Egg." Qin Mo said.
"That's ...... What is that? Yao En asked with a hard time. The reason he didn't spit it out was just that he didn't want Qin Mo to see his ugliness.
Qin Mo quietly stared at the Chaos Egg, and now he knew why he had such a strong sense before.
The fact that the Chaos Egg was in the Hive was even more disgusting than a hundred psionics wandering around.
"Can it be killed?" Yao En asked.
"Yes, even if you don't kill it, it's going to die, it's an extremely unstable thing...... But don't melee combat, watch out for its blood. Qin Mo patiently explained to Yaoen.
If something similar to the Chaos Egg appears in the Tyrone system in the future and is widely distributed, then it will need to be solved with the help of Yaoen.
Not every Chaos Egg can be lucky enough to receive thunder and lightning from Qin Mo.
"What did this thing change?" Yao En asked again.
"Heretical." Qin Mo replied, his gaze drifting from the Chaos Egg to the old man on the side.
The old man looked out the window in horror with a look of disbelief on his face.
A few feathers could be seen around his neck, as well as some weird and crazy blue marks.
Qin Mo immediately realized that this old thing believed in Tzeent, as for how this Chaos Egg appeared, and why the Chaos Egg did not attack this old man, then he had to continue to investigate.
"Flow." Qin Mo ordered into the air.
Time began to flow throughout the scene, and both the Chaos Egg and the old man, who had been immobile in battle, began to move.
The old man was talking to himself about things as he stared outside the building.
Then a tiny electric current came in from the wall and exploded, releasing a huge amount of thunder and lightning, and the person was instantly blown into powder by the chaos egg, leaving them without even time to scream.
"It looks like they're dead." Yao En said.
"That's right." Qin Mo nodded approvingly, and then let the scene where the traces were traced back began to flow backwards, just like a video rewind showing all the previous things.
Qin Mo still had many questions that had not been answered, so for the next half of the Terra Day, Qin Mo kept using traces to trace back at the spire, checking everything that happened here.
A scene from the past on the spire of the Hive is reappearing, rewinding back to the time when Stinger had not yet turned into a Chaos Egg, or even back to before the first war.
While Stinger and his minions discussed the matter, Qin Mo and Yao En stood beside them, watching the scene replay in front of them for more information.
Gradually, Qin Mo figured out the ins and outs of everything.
The Chaos Egg is a Stinger, the Stinger is the enemy marshal, and the old man is the Stinger's slave minion.
The plans of the master and slave are bigger than the other, one is thinking about using this war to gain knowledge and power, and the other is thinking about using his master to accomplish a larger plan.
In short, it's a plan for nesting dolls, don't ask, asking is part of the plan.
Qin Mo also learned the answer to a question that puzzled everyone, that is, where did the person who went to the nest go.
Looking back at the traces, it can be seen that the nesters were used as ritual materials in batches, and Stinger would personally tell each wave that he had come to save them, and then let them go together into a large pile of cages located on the side of the manor.
In Qin Mo's opinion, it was a pure cage, and it was also covered with a large number of evil marks such as incantations, but those who were deceived by the stinger would just happily enter it, and it was estimated that the appearance of these cages was camouflaged, so in the eyes of people, the cage was a transport plane to save them from the world of the nest.
While carefully observing each ceremony, Qin Mo also noticed one thing, in the first ceremony, there was an old man standing in the cage and complaining.
"Klein's damn wild seed really came back for nothing, so I have to tell me about the First Army's rebellion."
The old man was apparently Klein's family.
Qin Mo immediately turned on the video recording function of the power armor and filmed the scene in front of him, so that Klein could know what was going on with his family in the future.
After probing the ins and outs of the situation, Qin Mo deliberately looked at Yao En and said something he had to abide by in the future.
"After the upper nest is controlled, the spire will be cleaned by the artillery, and what you see today is what you will face later, this is the duty I have planned for you."
"But it's a secret, you know?"
As he spoke, Qin Mo even took off his helmet and showed his most serious expression to Yaoen.
Yao En immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and made a promise: "I will not mention this matter to anyone but you, I swear to God." ”
"Very good." Qin Mo patted Yao En's shoulder, then took two steps back to open the protective device, and was teleported back to the bottom nest.
Yaoen, on the other hand, was sent back to the battlefield of the upper nest to continue his fight.
