"Judging from the current frequency of subspace energy impacting the beta device and the genesis energy storage at the R-9 base, if we do nothing, then this suppression device will fail in ten years, and then this rift that has been suppressed for more than a thousand years will explode again.

From the center of this base, the range it can influence is at least nearly 1,000 kilometers.

Even by the most 'mild' pollution model, this thing, once out of control, could create a fallen kingdom in the Dark Mountains in a matter of minutes. ”

At the edge of the stone bridge near the subspace rift on the fourth basement level, Monica, an amnesiac sentry, fiddled with a slightly more complex Creator Detection Device, and after collecting enough data, she turned to Murphy beside her and said:

"Of course, the premise of my pessimistic conclusion is that the chaotic era after a thousand years can survive the next ten years, and judging from the current situation of the continent you just described to me, I don't think that under the attack of the subspace minions called 'Twilight', the so-called civilization camp can hold out for ten years without being defeated.

Although the cultists are hiding in the shadows, there is no doubt that they have the initiative, and you can only passively accept them. ”

"Well, we've started to fight back, but we haven't even figured out the exact structure of Dusk right now, and we don't know how much these guys have stolen from the Creator what should have belonged to me. So I have to admit with the same pessimism that without my 'variable', your bad predictions for the future would most likely come true. ”

Murphy didn't refute.

He stared at the dangerous chasm that had been suppressed in front of him.

The sense of danger of standing next to a nuclear bomb that could explode at any time is fascinating.

However, there are no young players watching here, so Murphy did not activate his "pretending" mode, but said to Monica in a short tone:

"How long will it take to adjust the release frequency of the energy pod and beta suppression device at base R-9 to a level that will assist me in releasing the Omega Shock?"

"I need to make an assessment of the maximum amount of energy you can currently release for the Omega Shock."

Monica replied professionally:

"I had to get enough data to redesign the operating rate of the energy chamber, and since the beta had not been maintained for more than a thousand years, it was a big question whether it could withstand high-frequency overloads, so I had to do a maintenance and upgrade of it.

All of this takes time, so if I had to give a specific time limit, it would be about a calendar month, or about thirty days.

Also, didn't you just say that you plan to use this subspace rift to complete a rescue operation?

Pulling a group of flesh and blood beings who are about to be sent into the subspace out of the gap between them and the astral plane back to the physical world, frankly, I think it's quite risky and not very profitable.

Not to mention whether those beings will degenerate when they come into contact with subspace, just this act of withdrawing a city from the gap between the three planes is a great hidden danger, and the astral plane has long been shattered, and it is unknown whether its plane boundary can withstand this large-scale extraction.

I can't even predict the crises that will arise directly if your actions are unexpected.

Judging by the Sentinel Corps' plan for dealing with this method"

"I guess you're going to drop a wiping torpedo at that city that's being sent into subspace?"

Murphy quipped:

"The pollution-free and pollution-free treatment method is a perfect experience for both the victim and the perpetrator, and there will be no pain in the instantaneous death, so that they can retain the last trace of dignity before being completely polluted?"

"Pretty much."

Monica pouted and said:

"My memory data is formatted, but my thought circuits are normal, Administrator, I can hear you mocking me, well, I must admit that we mechanical beings have a very different understanding of the concepts of 'life' and 'survival' than flesh and blood beings like you.

Although I do not agree with your way of acting, the decision is not in my hands.

The highest priority for me at the moment is to resolve this subspace rift, and if nothing else, allow me to take a break and examine the energy bay and beta at base R-9.

Don't forget to have me record the value of an omega shock for you before you leave. ”

"Well, you go get busy, your two apprentices will be here in a moment."

Murphy Says:

"I hope you will fulfill your promise to teach them as much as you can about what you know and how you know."

"Our robots don't have a thinking circuit, please rest assured."

Monica put away the scout equipment she had on her shoulders and assured Murphy that:

"Just now, I have designed a very efficient learning plan for my apprentices, and hopefully they will keep up with my 'teaching pace'.

In addition, the maintenance time of your power armor is scheduled for maintenance in three days, please prepare the tools I need in advance. ”

After speaking, the robot did not greet or say a polite goodbye, turned around and left, highlighting a resolute and resolute manner, Murphy watched Monica disappear on the fork in the road of the energy cabin, and a trace of scrutiny and thinking appeared in his eyes.

The sentry he rescued may be hiding something.

However, it should be true that her memory database was damaged, after all, the entry given by the object identification was like this.

At present, Murphy lacks a basic understanding of the Sentinel Legion, and in the case that administrator privileges cannot take effect, he can only rely on the most basic information exchange to try to find out the details of Monica.

In the most extreme case, it cannot be ruled out that this sentinel has been contaminated by subspace, so when the omega release record is carried out later, Murphy decides to give her a "full body examination", and once this guy has the slightest bit of contamination, she must be "harmless".

"My collaborator Mannis, have you contacted the survivors of Cadman City? I need to talk to them. ”

Murphy put his hand to his heart and called out to the Endless, and after a few seconds, the Endless replied in a vicious tone:

"Hell! Can't you call me at a normal time? Lao Tzu is chasing it, this crossing of another world is quite good-looking, but the understanding of the concept of time and space travel is too ridiculous.

It's not as beautiful as they imagined.

Hmph, Lao Tzu will be a keyboard warrior in the comment area for a while, and criticize these stupid thoughts, but this routine of 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi is really good, and I actually read a trace of 'sympathy' from it.

Hey, Murphy, can you have a discussion?

Give me a member on the website of the other world.,I'm fed up with those pirated pop-ups that are very vulgar and look like fraud routines.,As a noble demigod, I can't always chase pirated copies.,It's too unstylish.。 ”

"You'd better take it easy, get down to business first, and I'll give you a public account for the development team in a while, and you can use it to register members."

Murphy sighed.

He knew it wasn't a good idea to let Mannes surf the Internet, and the snake was probably going to run in the direction of the Harmonic God.

At his strong request, Mannis, who had contracted the "reading addiction", greeted Murphy in a bad tone, and then ran to do something.

However, this guy has actually made his own breath mark near Cadman City in the astral plane before, and it is easy to make a trip.

The Endless is a rather cunning guy, and since it used the lives of 100,000 people in Cadman City to get involved with Murphy from the beginning, it means that this guy has actually completed all the preparations required in the early stage.

It had developed its own "informant" in Cadman City early on, and now that Murphy was ready to rescue, then the Rippy Snake, who had been pretending to be a ghost, could openly declare to these 100,000 people that his "salvation" was coming.

A few minutes later, through a report from Manneth's informant, several people who are currently maintaining the overall situation in the "Astral City" Cadman have been gathered, and a set of channels can be constructed through the spiritual connection between the Endless and Murphy to communicate with the outside world temporarily.

In the slow operation of Manneth's time power, the open space in front of Murphy's eyes quickly outlined the shape of a secret room like a holographic projection, along with the three people standing in it, and at this time, in the secret room of Cadman City in the astral boundary, Murphy's image was also shaped by Manneth in the same way.

As expected, the three people in front of Murphy were all vampires.

This is also understandable, Cadman City's form has always been dominated by vampires, and even if it is swallowed into the astral plane and suffered, this ruling system will not be able to reverse it for a while.

When they saw Murphy's image, the Blood Vulture Vampires, who had been tormented by the terrible environment of the Astral Plane for more than eight months, were overjoyed, and their very embarrassed and gloomy and emaciated faces showed joy that could not be concealed, but they still had to maintain their little grace, and one of the oldest old vampires said in a dumb voice:

"Please report your identity! Compatriot. ”

"You come first."

Murphy pointed to the insignia of the Count of the Vulture on his chest, which made the three vampires in front of him suddenly stunned, and the old vampire immediately made a courtesy of an audience, and reported to his house:

"Captain of the Grand Duke's Guard, Elvis Rooney Lesenbra, Lord, Salutes you, Lord Earl, the two people beside me are of my blood, and I am temporarily administering Cadman City, which has fallen to the Star Plane, for our clan.

We've been trying to get in touch with the physical world, but the evil spells of the cultists cut off all hope.

Lord Manneth's presence was a surprise, but the promise of salvation was so exaggerated that we didn't dare announce it to the inhabitants of the city for a while.

But when we see you, we know that our compatriots have never given up on finding and rescuing us, and allow me to pay tribute to you and your compatriots from the outside world on behalf of the 100,000 people in Cadman City today. ”

"Don't say anything pretty, I can guess what you're thinking."

Murphy replied very politely:

"The Blood Vulture Clan in the outside world is much more devastating than you think, and the disaster in Cadman City has completely destroyed the very foundation of our existence, and for the Blood Vulture Clan itself, it is an unspeakable tragedy.

Our Grand Duke Sarlokdal was contaminated by subspace, and we had to give him rest with the assistance of the Blood Alliance clan and the Church of Avalon.

Now that the clan is in charge of my elde, Lady Tris, and with the threat of a dark plague, the situation in Translancia has reached a tipping point.

If you can further protect yourself, but if you take a step back, you will never recover.

In this case, I have not informed the Transans that you are still alive, but I do have a plan to try to bring you back to the physical world.

But I have to confirm the current situation in the city, and you have to answer honestly, don't hide it, Manneth is my eye on the astral plane, so this can basically be considered a question of loyalty.

Your truthful answers mean that you are still willing to return to the Blood Vulture Clan!

Of course, I can understand that the cultists must have made some kind of promise to you, such as eternal life in subspace, and if you believe this, then it proves that you have no need to save.

Go ahead!

We don't have a lot of time, so try to keep it short. ”

In the face of such a strong inquiry, the three vampires in front of them looked at each other, they were obviously not comfortable with Murphy's concise and unvarnished questioning, but the situation did not allow these guys to think too much.

After a few seconds of silence, the old vampire spoke:

"The situation in the city. Very bad!

In fact, the Midnight Clan's management of the city has completely failed, and we now only occupy the Vulture Tower and the inner city, and the rest of the city has been overrun by mobs, who have formed several divisive forces in the city to fight each other.

It is precisely because of this chaos and contention that we can maintain a very small number.

They did not dare to attack the inner city, because the Serenade Barrier Stone that kept the city free from the astral turbulence was in our hands.

But there are currently less than 1,500 vampires in Cadman City, and this is when we have selected some loyal blood servants to join us, and the situation in the inner city is much better than the lack of supplies in the outer city, after all, vampires can survive without food in extreme situations."

"Don't be sloppy! The people of the outer city are not already started. Cannibalism? ”

Murphy hesitated for a moment and uttered the terrible word, and in the face of this inquiry, the old vampire shook his head and said:

"No, the situation hasn't gotten that bad, although the Astral Plane is short of supplies, there are still living beings, thanks to the regular assistance of Lord Mannis, although the mob outside the city is generally hungry, the basic order still exists."

"Hey, hey, hey."

Mannis's strange laughter rang in Murphy's ears, and this laughter naturally had an element of merit.

Since the Endless is using Cadman City as his hole card, it certainly won't allow the situation in the city to deteriorate quickly, especially after knowing Murphy's quest for order, and of course Mannis will try to prevent those who are alive from becoming beasts.

"I've already told Cui Tan to send some 'Astral Flavors' over so that they can survive the next month."

The Endless One said to Murphy:

"Now that the time has been set, you should probably start restoring order to the city in preparation for the eventual rescue."

"Hmm."

Murphy nodded, and said to the three down-and-out vampires in front of him, waiting for a reply:

"Now spread the news of Cadman City's imminent return to the physical world to the leaders of the various factions, so as to win hearts and minds, I need you to reluctantly twist the forces of the chaotic city into a rope within a month, so as to prepare for the return to the physical world.

I'm discussing with my companions how to free you, and there's only one thing I need you to do right now!

Thirty days later, when the Day of Return comes, you must maintain as much energy as possible from the two Serenade enchantments in the city, otherwise the shattered city will likely be crushed by the pressure of the dimensional rift.

In addition, Mannes will give you some items to locate and bury them all over the city before the time limit expires, the more accurate your location is, the better the chances of bringing you back safely.

The pollution of subspace is also something that must be paid attention to, especially for those who can't endure the suffering and have surrendered to the world-destroying forces represented by the cultists.

Dispose of them!

I don't want to see the poison of the subspace brought back to the physical world. ”

"Okay, okay! Let's get to work right away! ”

After hearing Murphy's thirty-day deadline, the three vampires immediately became happy.

Obviously, this life of "astral wandering" has made them suffer enough, and they have given everything in the hope of returning to the beautiful material world, at least without worrying about being taken by invisible astral creatures in a certain night.

Whoever loves to treat this hellish place, they really don't want to serve it.

But the old vampire hesitated, and at the end of the conversation, he cautiously said to Murphy:

"My lord, there is one thing I must confess that we have been in the astral realm for too long, not only us, but also the mob outside the city have also been 'assimilated' to varying degrees, the filthy power of the astral plane has changed us, and our bodies are adapting to this environment.

From a pessimistic point of view, this change is likely to be permanent.

I.

Can we really return to our hometown in such a strange way? ”

"You've been gone for too long, and Transencia is so tolerant today that even the gnolls may become part of our homeland in the future. Humans and vampires who have been transformed by the astral plane are nothing compared to these barbarians. ”

Murphy replied:

"Relax and wait hopefully, come back first, and talk about the rest."
