152. Conversations that never happened
Grete and Rady scaled the city wall.
When they raised their heads and looked at the scene in front of them, they all involuntarily took a few steps back.
Countless buildings with unfamiliar shapes and materials stood within the city walls. Artificially built streets circulated this medium-to-low-sized town. There were various public facilities on the roadside that they had never seen before. But what moved and shocked them was the sight of people lying on the streets.
The corpses on it.
Corpses all over the ground.
They carefully walked around the town for a few minutes on the city wall, but every street they could see was littered with corpses of all kinds. Based on the scale they saw now, they conservatively estimated that there were five to six figures of dead.
Moreover, the condition of these corpses is also shocking. Nearly half of them have rotted into bones, but the other half maintain a high degree of intactness, as if they died not long ago.
"Have you seen it?" Grete no longer bothered to cover up his trembling voice, "To be honest, I think we can retreat temporarily and explore this place slowly in the future. We have already eliminated that monster."
"Take a closer look at the deceased." Ma En's cold words made these two extremely vicious ability users feel heavy in their hearts.
Greco let the metal weapons hover around him to deal with possible dangers at any time.
They climbed down the city wall and carefully moved about ten meters in front of a fresh corpse. Then Greco controlled the suspended metal weapon to touch the body of the corpse.
There was a strange look on his face.
Greco did not proceed with the next step of testing, but walked directly in front of the corpse, lowered his head and looked at the fatal wound on the deceased's chest - a cylindrical penetrating wound.
Greg looked at the cross-section of the wound.
What is under the skin is not blood and flesh, but rather complex mechanical structures.
Greco opened his palm and stretched out to the deceased, controlling the whole corpse to float towards him in a fairly balanced posture. As the skin of both sides came into contact, he immediately realized what the problem was.
What he has on his body is not skin at all.
Greg retracted his palm.
The corpse was instantly torn to pieces by the internal metal structure, and what looked like skin was torn into countless pieces and scattered in the air, with metal and non-metal parts scattered all over the ground.
Greg searched hard among the wreckage, but could not find any signs of flesh and blood, and there was not enough room for a head to fit into the head of the deceased.
"They're robots," Greco replied. "What do we do now?"
"Collect a complete corpse, then look for items that appear to be valuable and have unusual properties, and record noteworthy information. If you can make enough contributions, you will have the opportunity to no longer perform such potentially dangerous tasks."
"As you command." He replied in a submissive tone.
In the following time, Greg and Rady searched the town for the things that Marn requested. They broke into dozens of houses, rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and transferred the things they found into the containment room according to the procedures.
But the things they found were the same as the corpses of the big black cats and humanoid machines, and they had no abnormal properties.
As the search mission progressed, they got closer and closer to the interior of the town. When the previous work was meaningless, Greco no longer broke into every house he saw, but only entered houses that looked similar to other houses.
There are obvious differences in the architecture.
They also encountered other things as they moved forward - the corpses of more than a dozen large beasts. Their bodies were surrounded by mechanical limbs similar to the big black cats, but the modified parts and bodies of these beasts were larger than the black cats.
After several laps, one of the ferocious beasts had a skeleton that was over fifteen meters long.
No matter how you look at it, they should be much stronger than the Tier III monster they just encountered, but they all no longer have any vitality, and during the exploration process, Greg and the others gradually became aware of a fact.
These dead people probably died at almost the same time, and they may not have had time to react to the attack, and they did not leave any traces of resistance. Combined with the possibility that those mechanical beasts may have level IV strength entities...
The person who massacred this town was a Level V ability user.
After checking the hardness and abnormality of the deceased's bones, Greco was basically certain that this horrific disaster should have occurred within the past few years.
What is it made of?
With this uneasy thought in mind, Greg and Rudy stepped into a building that looked like a church. Although this place looked a little different from other buildings from the outside, it had no resemblance to the church on the ground.
What made them think so was the statues and decorations inside. Several statues of humanoids and mechanical creatures stood in the middle of the church. The murals on the walls depicted various strange creatures. There were some that they could not help.
Understand things.
But when Marn sat behind his desk and saw the pictures about the battles between "giants", he realized that some of them were the nature gods currently trapped in the Southern Federation, and there were only a few gods opposite them, as well as some that looked like
Possibly a different image of Titan.
Ma En carefully observed the murals. There were a total of sixteen different images on the opposite side of the gods. Most of them should be Titans of a certain generation, and some might be ordinary warriors or something else.
As Greco and Rady advanced towards the interior of the church, the content on the murals also changed. A new war began to be depicted inside, but this battle was between the enemies of the gods in the previous mural. The sixteen
Five of these images appear in the new war.
Among them, the little people painted in silver and gold are one of the parties in this war, and in the previous painting they are the main members of the army against the gods.
In the end, it seemed that they had won.
Two pictures depict this scene. There are some contents around the silver villain that even Man can't understand, while the golden villain has an image that clearly represents breaking free from restraints. The other Titans and gods have depictions of defeat.
.
In the last part, the mural seems to be about the mutual affairs between these two colored villains, including battles and stories with religious overtones.
In the end, it seems that they are united and regard the Titans who once fought them as a kind of belief-those statues are their images.
Greg and Lardy didn't pay attention to the colorful murals on the wall, but they also saw something worth paying attention to.
There seemed to be traces of smearing on the last part that was supposed to be a mural. Someone had erased the outermost part of the wall in a fairly flat manner, and carved many symbols composed of line segments on it with brute force.
Directly above these symbols it was written in Confederation:
"To those who come after me, I don't know the meaning of these symbols I carved. I just accepted the control of my body and subconscious, and it was they that brought me here.
"Follow it, for this is the path to victory."
Ma En stared intently at those strange symbols composed of straight line segments.
They are poorly written Chinese characters, with no curvature between the strokes, as if the person who wrote them was a poor imitator.
“When I lift my finger, I don’t know where it will go, but I can try to move my index finger in every direction at the same time, and then the future of the lake will change in front of me, and then I He would draw these symbols in the direction of 'good' that he could not understand.
"I don't know what I wrote and I don't understand the meaning of these words. This is not a conversation. I am not participating in it. Only you can read this message. You must remember this.
"If you know something about the basic structure of our world, you should understand that we cannot predict the future by observing the direction of each particle, so what I see is just a hazy probability. Writing this will not make me sad. The future is determined, but the possibility of it meeting my expectations becomes higher.
"You can simply understand that my next prediction may not be successfully realized. I have no way to completely knock the future to death. Don't become lax just because of the words you have seen. Our opponents are dangerous enemies.
"The madmen failed to destroy the tenacious alliance. They will make a deal with the devil and use your freedom and ideals as payment. Accept their evil requests. Don't let the Camarilla in the darkness take the place of the alliance immediately. Wait patiently for the right time. Opportunity.
"The poisonous snake has got into your bed, and she is colluding with madmen to try to kill you, but the fate of the poisonous snake that devours the elephant has long been known to everyone, and the gods who pursue secrets are also destined to die of their own greed.
"She is looking at you lustfully, and evil thoughts are running through her head,
"Go, explore that sinister tower, tear open her chest with the Forerunner's sword, cross the passages across mountains and rivers, lead monsters into the trap called oblivion, dance with the madmen, and use shadows to The dagger given pierced her heart
"The gods are forgotten, this is our time.
