Chapter 481: Arrive at the mission area
Faced with Colin's inquiry, Ekachy thought hard for a while before finally shaking his head.
"The voice who brought the 'revelation' did not tell us who we were called, but only gave us the means."
After a pause, she added:
"I don't remember the specifics either, but it seems to be a definite way to do it."
"I don't know who is summoned, so I dare to believe that there are really a lot of talents here in the branch."
Colin was guilty of slander, then thought about it, and continued to ask if he knew who the so-called "mysterious voice" was.
Akahi continued to think for a while, still shaking his head: "I received a certain 'revelation' in prayer, and then I heard that voice under the guidance of the events of the 'revelation', and according to the guidance, I left my people step by step to come here. I can only feel that she should be a woman, and I can't remember the rest."
Guided and indirect communication through mission events, a woman.
Listening to this information, Colin estimated that nine times out of ten it was Ms. Rabbit.
After all, this series of techniques has a strong sense of sight.
Plus there seems to be some faint connection from the task in the head.
The situation should be very similar.
By the way, that's what she's doing, and it's usually hard to know who she's going to shake until the last minute. ’
But this time, if nothing else, there will be no surprises with either the army group or the senior employees. ’
The thought flashed through him, and Colin thought about it, and asked some more questions.
Compared to Winnie, she knew more details, and what Colin knew was more complete.
Now, in the world in which Akahi lives, the periodic natural disasters that occur every ten to fifteen years and last for about a year have just passed.
Everything that was built a few years ago has been destroyed, and the earth is littered with strange and terrifying aberrant creatures.
And after the cover of natural disasters, the power of "night" has also begun to fade.
They will then find an opportunity to perform the "Eternal Night" ritual at the right time to regain their strength.
In this way, they will expel the aberrant creatures, reclaim the land, continue to accumulate supplies, find a way out, and think of ways to deal with the next periodic crisis.
"Are you the ones who have a lot of extraordinary power in your hands after every periodic disaster, and then you need to start all over again?" Colin found the key.
"Yes." Akahi nodded.
"So, if you don't perform rituals after the natural disaster, will your power disappear completely?"
At this moment, Ekahi thought for a while before saying: "It seems that it will disappear completely, and the original extraordinary person will also become an ordinary person, and the stronger it is, the greater the price given, and even death." ”
"Without the ritual, everyone's power will be completely gone, are you sure?"
Colin asked again, and when he received an affirmative answer, his mind immediately began to think.
Looking at it this way, "Night" only gives power that can be lost at any time, and does not give permanent things such as characteristics.
That's why there are periodic natural disasters, and the power of the "night" will be interrupted or even disappear if it is not maintained.
Akahi and his people are believers in a sense.
But most likely, they are not very deep
'The 'Night' believers should be like the 'Night' people on the starship, who have undergone a certain life transformation and have some characteristics left over from them.'
Regardless of whether the night is there or not, their power will not disappear. ’
'Only in this case, is it truly hopeless'
And the ordinary people in Ekahsi's world are probably like old drivers who have read countless movies but have no actual experience, and it is meaningless to know more skills. ’
Putting the situation in order, Colin felt as if everything was not as difficult as he thought.
I just don't know that the "dark night" doesn't give them "characteristics" because they don't want to give it, or they can't afford to give it.
If you can't give a "feature".
It is foreseeable that the "dark night" coffin board should have been nailed to death by the company.
More than the average heretic.
After all, the "Great Will" in which some heretics believe can still give a little bit of characteristic power, and the whole is an agent such as a bishopric and patriarch.
This person, who has millions of followers, still does not exude a single characteristic to create an "extraordinary".
It can only show that the cement coffin is sealed.
"Okay, good, the more you die, the better, so it should be semi-stable."
Colin was slightly reassured, and then he looked up at the window.
Seeing that there were no accidents, and that he didn't seem to be able to reach the seventh station for a while, he withdrew his gaze and refocused his attention on Akahi, who was being treated.
"By the way, what about the world's so-called periodic natural disasters?" He continued to ask.
If there is any surprise at that time, it is obvious that this is something that does not know what to do.
It is not a simple thing to be able to block the disaster of the "dark night".
"We don't have a lot of information in this area, but we don't know the characteristics of some aberrations of the population, and in addition, why the disaster happened, etc., we are not very clear."
Akashi shook his head.
Although they have been stationed there for hundreds of years, they have only opened up a very small known area of activity.
And every once in a while, it will be completely destroyed and restarted, and it will not be able to rush out at all.
Not only could it not even rush out, but also because of the harsh living environment, the overall population has been declining.
The population has shrunk from tens of millions hundreds of years ago to less than one-third of its original size today.
In this case, it is difficult to live, let alone expand.
'It hasn't been able to take root for hundreds of years, and every natural disaster has to come back again, so the world itself is indeed not to be underestimated, but I don't know what the situation is.'
Colin felt that maybe it was some runaway numbered world or something.
"By the way, do you know anything about your own past?" Colin inquired deeply.
According to Akahi, although there have been many catastrophes and tribulations that their race has experienced over the years, it seems that they have not been broken.
It's a pity, though.
"Maybe some people know, but I don't know, I only know that when we passed there from beyond the sky, there was a very widespread catastrophe that stayed there until now."
"All worlds have been destroyed except the one we live in, this is the common understanding of the people."
"But the truth is clearly not like that, and your presence is enough to break the lies spread by this 'Nightfall Faction'."
Ekash looked at Colin and the others as if he were looking at something called "hope".
"Girl, I'm afraid it's not too good outside."
Colin pursed his lips, but think about it, whether this thing is good or not is better after all.
If the next world is really that bad, then even if they go to "World Number-13", they will think of it as heaven.
Then again, it's not that there was no generation, but that a lot of things were lost when the disaster that forced them to stop happened. More than 300 years ago? ’
At this point in time, it can almost match the time when the company has an accident.
And once on the on.
It's basically a bad debt that I can't know about at the moment.
Colin shook his head, and asked as much as he could from Ekahi to understand the situation.
However, after waking up, he has been fighting his spirits, and after several hours of continuous communication, Akahi's state has dropped significantly, and his language has begun to be a little confused.
Thinking that the current general information had been obtained, Colin asked her to rest first, and then took out two "colorless crystals" and gave one to the "Fire Tree" and one to Akahi.
"How much can her body recover in the past two days?"
Colin looked at the "Fire Tree" who had been healing Akashy and Winnie.
"Life must be fine, and after a little surgery, you can recover your appearance, but your strength should only recover five or six layers? She was injured to the root, and she is not a real extraordinary, at least in a short period of time, she can't recover much, and everything is completely restored, I'm afraid it will take at least half a month or more. ”
When talking to Colin, the fire tree is usually more honest and doesn't use some strange word order.
At the same time, when Colin was chatting with Ekah, he honestly "closed" his ears when he heard some dangerous words such as "night".
There are some things that are not good to know too much.
"Okay."
Colin bowed his head, Akahi's strength was not bad, at least stronger than the two D-ranks that followed, but it was much lower than that Lavinia, otherwise he wouldn't have been beaten like that if he couldn't even run in a short time
Of course, he didn't expect the other party to provide much combat power, as long as he didn't die.
After the conversation ended, there was a slight silence in the carriage, except for the occasional "clang" sound under the floor of the train.
The "Lord of the Fishpond" on the side came over cautiously, looked at Colin, raised his hand and nodded his brain.
Later, Colin realized that the squad information in his mind had the words of the other party.
"Brother Shunzi, are these words really credible?"
After the conversation began, the two employees kept watching Brother Shunzi talk to each other and did not interject.
They were all puzzled all the time, and they felt that Brother Shunzi had almost no doubts about the words of these people, as if he believed anything.
According to the situation of the other party's brain damage, it is even possible that their memory has been tampered with before, and the probability is not small, this, true and false, how do I know if I can fully believe it.'
Colin said a word in his heart, his face was impassive, but he responded to the two of them in his mind, expressing his uncertainty.
For this situation, he has always been to put the news first.
And then in the follow-up, little by little to confirm its authenticity.
It's better than not knowing at all.
Seeing Brother Shunzi's response, the two didn't think much about it, and continued to ask something else, such as "dark night" and something like that.
'You are really newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, and dare to ask anything.'
After Colin complained, he thought for a while and said: "The root may be something more terrifying than those 'robots' in the internal group, if you don't want to suddenly die one day, you'd better forget about it." ”
"Huh."
The general explanation is that the two may not be afraid, but with the "robot" as a foil, they are frightened at once.
For employees who haven't been subjected to any truly terrifying missions yet
"Mentally handicapped robots" are already one of the most dangerous gadgets they know.
Time passed little by little, and after another two hours, the speed of the train began to change.
"It's going to stop soon."
As Colin spoke, the flames began to spread, gradually wrapping the carriage around him, leaving everything around him in a shadowless state, avoiding the "Nightfall" killers from attacking him.
After all, where Lanivia went after she "blew herself up" before, Colin didn't know.
Either she's a doppelganger, or she has a unique way to return to her original world.
After a while, the thick gray fog outside the car window began to fade, and then he saw that he seemed to be in a dark, port-like area again.
In the harbor, many stones and a large number of fragments of unknown buildings float in the air due to the lack of gravity.
It looks like it's an abandoned danger zone again.
In terms of style, it is similar to the Space Platform, but the difference is that as soon as he arrives, Colin feels that there are many indescribable, flowing, and unspecific things coming to his eye.
Their eyes are full of undisguised malice.
It's just that
When Colin caused the fire to erupt further and erupt from the door of the car, the "eyes" of the invisible things suddenly became "clear" at this moment, and then let out a sharp and piercing "scream" full of fear and fled.
"'Campfire' is a good card a lot of the time."
Colin smacked his head as he glanced at the stones and metal that had turned into powder in his "scream".
After that, the train started again after checking in daily.
Only this time, Colin thought it was another long ride, but he didn't expect that the train door had just closed, and it didn't take more than three minutes to drive, and a cold word appeared on the retina along with the text.
[Notice: From this moment on, the train in this section will start to transfer, and passengers will be transferred to 'Fog Train-9713-31', in order to avoid mistakes, passengers in need are requested to leave this train car in an orderly manner within 10 minutes]
"'Transfer'?"
The orange cat and the "Lord of the Fish Pond" were stunned when they saw this, and then reacted, subconsciously stood up from the chair and looked at Brother Shunzi behind them.
"We don't have to leave."
Colin waved his hand, and the instinct given by the mission told him that the real destination was after the transfer.
Hearing his words, the two sat down again.
As for Akashy and Winnie, who were woken up, they didn't say anything when they saw that the three of them were unmoved by the unfamiliar voice.
That is, ten minutes after the prompt came out.
Everyone in the car was suddenly in a trance for a moment, and then the train in front of them changed suddenly.
I saw that the original futuristic style carriage has now changed back to the steampunk theme.
Brass furnishings swan melt seats, exposed pipes, differential machine decorations, elaborate ceiling lights, etc
In addition to this, there is a more obvious change.
The carriage, which used to be about 100 square meters, has now expanded more than 10 times and become very spacious.
"Damn, it's so big, why is this a train?"
The orange cat exclaimed, but the "Lord of the Fish Pond" next to him heard this and said disdainfully:
"If you don't see it, you will make a fuss like you."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but recall the memories of the three trains of the "Ghost Train" with a group of people.
The train car is a little bigger than here.
It's just that, just after speaking, he looked at Colin and wanted to ask if there was any instructions, but found that the other party was frowning and staring out with a solemn face
The "Lord of the Fishpond" frowned, looked down, looked through the car window, and suddenly gasped.
"Damn, mom, what the hell is this place?!"
