824. Good news (crossed out)... Bad news and worse news
Murphy left himself alone on the fourth basement floor, saying that he wanted to investigate the situation of the subspace rift, but there must be something special to do.
Lord Yvette wanted to know the secret of Murphy's master, but she had been taught a hard lesson by Triss before, and now she didn't dare to approach at all, so she could only guard the closed passage on the third floor with a heart of "loyalty".
This gesture of loyalty and courage did not look like what an astringent leader should make soon aroused Ms. Natalie's curiosity, but Natalie was also a person who had seen the world, and she did not rush forward to ask, but quietly observed Yvette's actions while counting supplies around in the name of patrolling the third floor of the R-9 base.
Just now Natalie discovered that after Murphy's appearance, Yvette's actions were full of contradictions.
She seems to want to get close to Murphy, but on the surface she has to maintain her original "persona", which leads to her various actions full of inexplicable awkwardness. Moreover, the observant White Knight also found that the previous Lord Yvette looked at Lord Murphy with greed mixed with a hint of fear.
But now, that gaze has completely changed.
There is a strange obedience in respect of it.
That sounds outrageous!
Lady Yvette is the heir of Lord Pa Ying, how could she, with her astringent personality of being an anti-Tiangang, obey the lord of another clan?
And at this time, he was still guarding the entrance of the passage, and no one else was allowed to get close to it, which was called the protection seal, but wasn't it just standing guard for Lord Murphy?
This wonderful change caused Natalie to be greatly puzzled, but when she finally couldn't help but want to step forward and ask a few words, she was immediately stopped by the Warden Blade behind her.
This holy blade was forged in the kingdom of Avalon, and he was very familiar with Avalon's divine power, although the strange aura on Yvette's body was disguised and became very thin, but the remnants of the divine power belonging to the Spider Lady could not hide the big oak holy blade at all.
Thinking of Yvette's race, the Oak Blade had to stop its own sword-wielder from probing.
This is a "little secret" between the gods!
Don't mix with you, a poor white knight, and you're going to trap yourself in it.
Natalie has become a character who knows how to take advice under the tempering of a series of events, especially when she rarely sees the always unruly Great Oak Holy Blade have such fear, she knows that this is not something she can interfere with, and decisively finds an excuse to slip away.
However, the R-9 base obviously still hides many, many secrets, and even Avalon is full of curiosity about this place.
As the new leader of the Church of Avalon, Natalie had to answer her God's questions, so she hurried to the main control room on the second floor of the base, and when the mechanical doors opened, she saw that the strange novice Gentile was directing some players to do this and that.
Sister Cement will have already taken over the R-9 base in ten minutes and "become a god", old players know the gold content of this operation, plus Brother Woo Meow, Brother Bang and Teacher Li, these guild leaders were all "greeted" by Qin Ye just now, this will naturally be very cooperative with Sister Cement's work.
Especially Brother Woomeow's big bird group.
They are doing software work in another world, although that experience is meaningless to apply to the creator's black technology, but at least they know how to operate these high-tech equipment better than others, and now they are being directed by Sister Cement to export the recent records of the R-9 base database in order to find out more useful information,
The Cadman Raiders of Brother Bang are almost five steps and ten steps and one sentry here, and players who come close will be persuaded to return under the guise of "special missions".
Those who can participate in this operation are high-end players.
When they heard this reason, they chuckled in their hearts, and they all stayed away from the fact that the hidden meaning was as clear as the mirror.
There's a lot to play in this base.
Why don't you take the time to search the horns, maybe you can find the awesome cultist equipment, and then you can't help remove those damaged tech weapons and send them back to the arsenal, maybe you can see these awesome things on the walker later, no, the dragon knight!
Look at this majestic quadruple rapid-fire cannon, use this thing to kill the gnolls, isn't that a dozen without squeaking?
"It's a biotech base, and I've just checked out the main core, which is part of a large Creator facility called the Life Greenhouse. It was tasked with a series of obscure but related to the 'realm of creation' in the Golden Age. ”
As Natalie walked into the main control room, she heard the mysterious "Cement Sister" introducing the situation of the base to the serious-looking Bang Brother in the language of a foreigner.
The players ignore the patrolling boss NPC, they do whatever they have to do, and no one thinks that the NPC can understand Chinese.
But the truth is, they underestimated Natalie.
Anyway, he is also a person who receives psychological counseling three times a week, although he can't understand complex sentences, but he has basically learned everything from the crow who is "good at being a teacher", so Natalie quietly maintains the behavior pattern of NPC walking back and forth, but up her ears to listen to Sister Cement's introduction.
For some time now, she knew that "NPCs" in this stance would never be suspected by cunning players.
"Just judging from the technical content of the instruments that have been discovered so far, it is worth investing a lot of manpower here."
Sister Cement said to Brother Bang:
"I've asked Lumina and Terlanova to investigate the results of those cultists' research to make a preliminary assessment, but I think you should tell Qin Ye the news here right away, and ask him to make a report to the family.
It is no exaggeration to say that if we laymen alone want to understand the knowledge here, we must send the real bigwigs in the field of genetic engineering and biotechnology to come in and have a look at it on the ground.
Also, don't be busy disassembling instruments that we can't understand.
Step by step, learn to use it first and then find a way to study its principles, and some of the research topics I have seen so far have several more elementary projects that can even be replicated at home, such as the 'Biological Organ Enhancement' project conducted by Flynn Sr.
Not only does the project have a complete roadmap and materials, but he has even come up with a finished product.
The NPC named 'Heru' received a full enhanced organ transplant before he was rescued, and I just watched it with Terranova, and his organ transplant results were perfect, with no rejection at all and a very fast recovery, and changing his eyes and ears was as easy and pleasant as extracting a tooth.
The scientific and technological content of the transplantation process alone is worthy of our investment in human and material research.
Heru's eyes are based on the astral creature Blazing Monitor Lizard, and the ears and sensory enhancement organs are from a strange reptile creature called the Hess Tooth Beast, both of which are considered to belong to the 'Divine Dependents' race in the astral database.
I mean, there's certainly nothing like that on our side, but this knowledge is universal.
We need it."
"Ahem."
Brother Bang suddenly coughed and gave Sister Cement a look.
The latter blinked, glanced at Stick's fingers, and saw that Lady Natalie, who was standing not far away, was staring at a metal ornament on the table.
She seemed curious about the thing and had been standing there for several minutes.
Sister Cement suddenly squinted her eyes, she rolled her eyes, coughed, raised her volume a few degrees, and said:
"As I said, most of the experiments taken by the cultists are related to the creation of the gods, and I have good reason to believe that the Twilight believers of the 'Scholars' faction are plotting a study that directly targets the mysteries of the gods.
We've found no less than seven studies related to the four faces of Avalon, and the cultists are digging for the power of the gods of nature."
Natalie, who was listening, suddenly felt a tightening.
Damn it!
Sure enough, the gods' concern for the R-9 base makes sense!
The Cultists of Twilight have a much bigger appetite than they could have imagined, and these goddamn bastards are indeed a source of chaos, and whether in the name of the gods or in the name of faith, the Church of Avalon under their command must do their best to assist Lord Murphy in exterminating these bastards.
The tragedy of Gaia and the Brass Dwarves can't be repeated in Avalon.
"Sister Cement! Come on, the data exported from the database records the order given by the 'scholar' to the explorer through the base communication, and he asked the explorer to arrange for the explorer to send three things to three different places! ”
Lao Qu, who was checking the database information over there, quickly made a discovery, he looked at the characters on the stereoscopic projection, and exclaimed:
"The test subject of Subspace One was sent to the Gnoll, and it was the old Manson. Two was sent to the traitor of the Blooddread Clan, and I just heard from the gnolls that he was also killed by Master Murphy.
The most dangerous is number three!
It was sent to the Brass Fortress to a Twilight collaborator codenamed 'The General'! ”
"Huh?"
Sister Cement turned around and asked loudly:
"Search for the keyword 'general' in the database and find out the identity of that guy."
"Nope!"
Brother Wu Meow waited for a few seconds and then looked at the optical projection and said:
"There is no specific information about its identity, perhaps because the search authority of the R-9 base is insufficient, but the information shows that the guy is a brass dwarf, and his real belief is the Dagon Esoteric Religion? Wait a minute! Isn't that the cult of the Wave Fishman?
How could a brass dwarf believe in the cult of the Fishmen? ”
"Because in addition to the 'Father of Fish', 'Black Sea Mist' and 'God of the Abyss', Dagon also has an unpopular priesthood as the 'God of Fall and Seduction'."
Natalie explains:
"Theoretically, all rituals of depravity, physical or spiritual, performed in the dark, are its domain, damn it! Brass Dwarves have fallen not only because of their massive exposure to burning gold, but also because of the subspace forces at work in it.
This would explain why the Brass Dwarves have fallen so quickly in a hundred years. ”
"Send this news to Lord Murphy!"
Brother Bang rubbed his forehead and said in a deep voice:
"The brass fortress is probably going to be finished."
——
"This is supposed to be the ritual site for extracting subspace power and creating some kind of energy polymer."
Murphy was standing at the end of the suspended stone bridge that had been carved out by the cultists, observing the scene of the strange ritual that had been placed there.
There he found dried blood and three eggshells that looked like some kind of creature, but all other traces of the place had been untraceable by the washes of subspace.
It seems that even cultists are very cautious about using the power of chaos in subspace, considering that the R-9 base is full of researchers who are not allowed by the outside world, the reason for their restraint is probably due to the warning of intelligence.
Of course, it is more likely that although the scale of this subspace rift in front of him is huge, it has been sealed and suppressed for the past thousand years, causing it to not even be able to swallow the chaotic power here on a large scale, and the pale light that restricts the subspace rift is obviously accompanied by a purification effect.
It is very difficult for cultists to siphon out the available subspace power here.
This made Murphy couldn't help but be curious about the gray-white aperture in front of him, he activated the omega program to cover the surface of his body, and then stretched out his hand to touch the closest layer of aperture to the stone platform, and when his fingers touched the white light, a prompt message immediately popped up in front of his eyes:
[Basic to the Special Genesis Energy (High Energy Purification) branch, the energy source is 'Trial Subspace Cleanup Program, Codename Beta'.]
The program was created by the Subspace Forces Research and Defense Laboratory of the Sector Governing Council of Eden, and is based on the 'Purification Program Omega', which only exists in the Creator's records.
Due to the limitations of the program's production level, it does not have many of the composite functions of the Omega program, so the actual combat effect is weak, but the Eden District Management Committee adjusted the application scenario of the program, and after spending years of research and upgrades throughout Eden, it removed the redundant functions and focused on the areas of 'sealing' and 'purification'.
Prompt!
Admin Alpha's Omega program has detected an upgradable module, yes/no to collect a sample of prototype beta data for program upgrade? 】
"Huh? Can I still upgrade my killer? So bite? ”
Murphy's eyes widened.
He was a little hesitant whether collecting samples by himself would directly cause the solid seal in front of him to collapse, but after thinking about it carefully, the only thing needed to upgrade the Omega program was data, not the energy of the beta program itself, and it would not have any impact on the seal in front of him, so he decisively chose to upgrade.
In the next second, Murphy's eyes flickered, and the whole person seemed to be drained of his energy all of a sudden, so weak that he sat cross-legged on the ground, like dizziness and discomfort when he had low blood sugar, but soon the uncomfortable feeling disappeared.
Omega's program entered the upgrade process, and the character card showed that it would take thirty minutes, so Murphy got up and prepared to leave here, but as soon as he stepped off the stone bridge, he saw an anxious little reeds running over and telling him the information that Sister Cement and the Big Bird Group had just discovered.
"What? The third 'Dimensional Diamond' was sent to the Brass Fortress? ”
Murphy was also taken aback.
He looked back at the end of the stone bridge behind him, and finally knew what the three strange eggshells were for.
That's where the damn Dimensional Diamond that can open the crack in subspace was made! Only this "natural rift" that has existed for more than a thousand years can extract stable samples of subspace power.
"Brass Fortress is finishing!"
Murphy scolded, immediately took out a blood crystal, and began to contact the thickest golden thigh he could currently shout on the mainland.
However, when calling for Lord Pa Ying, Endless Mannez, who had disappeared for more than an hour, also reappeared at this time, and its hissing voice sounded in Murphy's ears with a hint of urgency.
"It took me thirty years to use the power of time to figure out the rituals of those Twilight Cultists, Murphy! I know why I'm seeing Cadman City in the subspace rift. That place is being pushed from the astral plane into subspace!
Once this process is complete, your 100,000 people will be transformed into the Burning Demon Soldiers!
You must rush to transfer them back from the rift in the astral and subspace to the physical world before this process is complete, or it will be too late. But don't worry, I've spent another fifteen years coming up with a foolproof solution for you!
Just use this subspace rift in front of you, it has existed for thousands of years, and it is basically a stable passage between the material world and subspace.
It can carry the pressure of a city passing through, and I can help you locate it on this side of the astral plane, and the old tortoise of Tritan said that it would do its best to help.
But you have to choose your landing spot in advance!
And if you want to get the time right, you can't do it early or late."
"Wait, wait until I'm done talking about it in detail."
Murphy saw that the blood crystal had been connected, so he replied to the Endless One, and Manners asked with some confusion:
"What could be more urgent now than the life and death of 100,000 people?"
"The Brass Fortress is coming to an end."
Murphy complained:
"There's almost two crazy god-forsaken dwarves in that city, what do you say?"
"Well, my mother, my dear collaborator, Lord Ben has seen the wind and waves, but compared to your exciting daily life, I am like a cutie living in a greenhouse, okay, okay, you work first, and then call me when you're done."
"Wait, Mannes, help me deliver the news that my heir, Lena, has been randomly teleported to a Golden Age ruin in the Gorgon Pass, tell her not to panic, and wait there.
I'll pick her up. ”
