The ground beneath my feet was shaking, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, as if there was a certain pattern. The unfixed portable machines and equipment in the room made rattling sounds, jumping back and forth on the floor or table, and Yakumo blue suddenly appeared.
She jumped down from the chair, the fur on her ears and tail stood up, and unconsciously half-crouched on the ground and made a low purring sound - under certain circumstances, her fox side instinct was still
Things that are difficult to control, such as stealing chicken legs at home, running around naked, and being more sensitive than humans during earthquakes.//《》.com《》Novel Network//
Saeko was also shocked. Even though she had been with the First Family for a long time, she was still essentially an ordinary human girl. Even though she had experienced the Resident Evil crisis, she had never experienced anything like the ground breaking when the battleship was shot, so faced with this
She let out a low exclamation when there was a sudden earthquake, but it was just a exclamation. Her strong psychological quality made her calm down quickly, and she felt relieved after seeing that there was no movement from us.
The shock came and went quickly, lasting less than ten seconds. Everything around him became quiet. Lin Xue made an OK gesture to me, indicating that the earthquake was over. Lan's tail also drooped down again.
, but she was still squatting on the ground with her hands on the ground. At this time, she looked around and found that she might be the one with the most exaggerated reaction. She immediately showed an embarrassed look, then raised her feet and scratched her face...
We didn't react until the girl sat back on the chair. Really, and Lan himself didn't react. Now we can confirm a common sense: when natural disasters occur, wild animals often have strong reactions, even if
It’s the same as they have become sperm...
Yoder felt a little stupid when he saw Lan's strange behavior, but luckily he didn't do the same rude thing as the naughty kids in the town, that is, he tried to verify whether there was a wire holding Yakumo Lan's tail inside. I swear he
If you really dare to do this, the fox will definitely bite someone. Lan Pingping loves her tail very much. She will bite anyone who touches her except for our family members.
"The geology here is not very stable," I tried to divert Joad's attention away from Yakumo Ai, who was in a wild animal state, "Earthquake?"
Joad said hastily, then frowned: "Earthquake? Do you call the vibration just now an earthquake? It's quite a vivid term."
"So, there have never been earthquakes here before?" My sister immediately heard the underlying meaning from the other party's words: This planet seems to have never had an earthquake before!
"This is not the first 'earthquake'," Yoder sat across from us and looked at us quietly. We couldn't tell what he was thinking, nor could we guess that he had brought us here alone to screen away the crowds of people waiting.
What do you want to do? "Since thirty days ago, Ayutthaya and a large area nearby have been shaken five times, and the intervals are shorter each time. This is not a good sign. Of course, you said that this has never happened before."
"Earthquake" is right. Thirty days ago and for countless years, the earth under our feet was as solid and eternal as this world. No one would believe that even this land blessed by God would sometimes become turbulent.
.”
Sandora's brows furrowed, while Lin Xue gently squeezed my arm from behind: "Mumu, do you still remember what happened a month ago?"
I was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Lin Xue meant.
Sure enough, Yoder spoke quickly. He didn't seem to want to ask us about the situation first, but instead said what he wanted to say: "Ever since the Hope disappeared at the end of the stormy ocean, the world has become...
All kinds of unsettling changes, and then, here you are."
"Now, I have to think about what it means for you to appear here."
"Hey, you want to say that we came with disaster?" Lilina pointed at Joad's nose, "It would be blasphemous to talk nonsense."
Yoder didn't care about the little girl's rude behavior. He looked at us with an unchanged expression: "I don't mean it, but I really want to know who you are and where you come from - I have a
Crazy guess, but this is almost contrary to faith, but apart from this guess, I can't think of any other possibility, so can you save me from the pain of faith? Are you from the other side of the stormy ocean?!"
Shandora seemed to have expected this problem. After hearing Yoder's words, she was just lazy... By the way, laziness has to be used here. She leaned lazily on the chair and said in a cold voice: "Not a bad guess.
, we do come from beyond the ocean of storms.&*．《》.com’s fastest update＊＊But it may be slightly different from your understanding.”
It was as if the old bellows were suddenly pulled open forcefully, and a hissing sound came from Yoder's throat. He was inhaling hard to calm down his turbulent emotions, and then quickly regained his composure: "Is it the Hope? It finally broke through
The stormy ocean brought you?"
"No...well, maybe you can put it that way," it was his elder sister who answered him. Her eyes were lowered, still a little sad about the fate of the Hope, "if there was no Hope, we would not have found this world.
But it has crashed, and the last record on the battleship indicates that it should have been destroyed by a group of fanatic believers, which should be your people, right?"
"It was not my intention to destroy the Hope, but I must prevent someone from taking this risk." Faced with the shocking news we revealed, Yoder actually remained completely calm. He waved his hand vigorously to express his decision.
It is undisputed, "Before the mission is completed, we must survive. No matter how high the Hope thinks its success rate is, as long as it tries to leave this world, it must be sanctioned..."
Speaking later, Yoder's voice became a little weak, as if he was discouraged: "But now it seems that we are a step too late after all, and the stability of this world has declined."
"You mean, the Hope rashly crossed the world barrier, causing this space to begin to lose balance?" A glimmer of light flashed in Sandora's eyes, and she immediately asked in a low voice.
My mood gradually became excited, and I told myself intuitively that many truths seemed to be in the hands of this handsome man in front of me, including the phenomenon of a large number of ancient mechanical shutdowns around the world that we could never understand.
"World barrier? It seems that there is a wall outside the storm ocean. The Hope has gone so far. If we change our perspective, maybe they are really heroes." Yoder stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. "The ancient records said so
: The world we live in is a closed kingdom of God. God prohibits any external filth from entering this world, and also prohibits any people in God’s kingdom from defecting to the outside. If some people violate the rules and enter the filthy kingdom with God’s blessings,
The outside world, the entire Kingdom of God will lose its blessings... It's too late to say anything now. I don't know how to face the ancient ancestors and the people outside. They don't know what happened yet, but in fact I can hardly
Determine if the solar furnace can be lit again tomorrow."
"So you want to know if we from the 'other side' of the storm ocean know more." Shandora said calmly after being silent for two seconds.
Joad sat upright in the chair, tapping the armrests of the chair regularly with his fingers. The focus of his eyes swept back and forth on us. His eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and his eyes were as deep as water. It was obvious that he
I am thinking, maybe even engaged in a fierce psychological struggle, and I am also trying to figure out the thoughts of the somewhat unexpected archbishop who appears in front of me - we have not revealed the identity yet, because we want to see if we can do it without saying anything.
Knowing the other party's true position without revealing his identity. After all, he once ordered the destruction of the "Hope" trying to escape from this ruined world. This has reduced our impression of the church in this world a lot, but now, according to Yoder's words,
It seems that he is doing this to protect the world, which makes people curious.
"What's across the stormy ocean?"
After being in silence for nearly a minute, Yoder suddenly raised his head and looked at this side with burning eyes, "Is there really another world there?"
"There are more things there than you imagine," Lin Xue said, "but before telling you more, we hope you can talk about things in this world first. I can tell you for sure
You, we have the ability to solve all the problems you face, but only if you are open and honest."
"I don't believe you, I'm just telling the truth," Yoder said very bluntly, "You do come from across the storm ocean, but this doesn't mean anything. Until you can't prove that you are trustworthy..."
Yoder is right. He found us only because we are most likely from outside the world and are "foreigners" who know the truth about the outside world. However, the identity of this foreigner is not enough for him to confide in anyone, but Sando
La didn't care about this, she just connected the spiritual connection: "PL-15, now remove your disguise, and the general flagship, remove the disguise, and project a strong signal pulse in the direction where we are now."
Two seconds after Sandora's words fell, the signal projected at super-light speed arrived at the ruined planet. As expected, the big city had a radar array of sufficient specifications. Almost as soon as the signal arrived, the entire city
A shrill air defense siren sounded, and then the church scanned two giant warships that had taken off their camouflage and were swaggeringly moored in the "shallow layer" of the storm ocean.
A rapid alarm also sounded in the room, and a holographic projection automatically popped up in front of Yoder. The pictures and words that appeared on it made the handsome man's expression dull for a moment.
"We have many such spaceships. If you need help, we can use these spaceships to take all of you outside the storm ocean. If you are unwilling to leave, we can transport enough for you to survive for the next seven hundred thousand years.
supplies and ancient machines, and what we want to know... Well, let’s start with what you know about the truth about this world and what happened to the Hope. Maybe you think it’s nothing, but these are very important to us, and
Presumably this is no longer a vital secret."
"Okay, okay, you did scare me," Yoder slowly waved his hands, saying that he was scared, but until now he didn't mean to be panic at all, it was just that his eyes widened just now, "Then
Let me tell you my opinion. The world used to look like what we see now. Don’t be surprised. Although few people know this and don’t even dare to think about it, I believe that you from across the stormy sea should be aware of this sentence.
You have your own opinions. You bring those dizzying things with you. There should be a richer country on the other side of the storm ocean than here, so you should be able to see at a glance how barren and precarious the place we live is. For a long time
Since then, only the absolute upper echelons of the church have known this secret: the entire world is actually a system that is constantly consuming..."
Joad kept his eyes slightly lowered and talked to himself in an unhurried tone. This may be a habit he has developed in his usually reclusive bishop life, or it may be that we "foreigners" who suddenly appeared made him
Feeling the need to complete the exchange as soon as possible, "The world is like this. Within hundreds of thousands of years recorded in history, two-thirds of the ancient machines in the world have been shut down. The production efficiency of a large number of regenerated factories is getting lower and lower day by day. From a thousand years ago,
Starting a few years ago, we no longer have the extra materials to maintain those fusion reactors, and the yellow muffins that have always been used as auxiliary food disappeared among the people five hundred years ago. Until now, these things have only been possible for successive bishops.
Full knowledge, when a priest knows some secrets, he will be promoted to bishop, and then he will not be able to leave the church for life. We know the meaning of this. This is the only way to ensure that the entire world can continue as smoothly as possible, that is, not to
Let people know the truth, so most high-ranking monks are willing to bear the huge pressure brought by the truth. For such a long time, although some bishops have leaked the news due to weak will, they have always been able to be recognized by the church composed of other bishops and archbishops.
The organization quickly dealt with it, and the only accident... was Bishop Banamon a few years ago, who later became the captain of the Hope. He is a well-deserved strong man, and can achieve his beliefs at all costs. He deserves
After knowing the precarious truth about the world, he once showed great loyalty, making everyone believe that this young man would be the best person to keep this secret for the next generation, until he became the captain of an ancient Archangel-class battleship... I
I still don’t know how he got the entire battleship to rebel with him. He has become a force that is independent of the church, and even dares to openly appear in public with a powerful super battleship. The only thing worth it is
Fortunately, Banamon did not announce to the people that the world was about to dry up, but instead used another plan to compromise with the church: he began to call on people to become his sailors and jointly explore the rich new country on the other side of the stormy sea."
"He almost succeeded." Sister-sama said.
"It has been successful, just from the point of 'crossing the storm ocean'," Yoder said, "No one thought that he could do this. With the power of the Hope, we can't get through the Daxu Ring.
We confronted him, and he also made a compromise with the church. On the condition that we continue to keep the secret that the world is about to dry up, we allow him to recruit sailors, but there is another restriction, that is, the Hope is strictly prohibited from passing through the stormy sea under any circumstances.
Unless he can confirm that the world on the other side of the Storm Ocean really exists - after all, even I am willing to have a slim hope. But he was too aggressive. After repeatedly detecting the intensity and scope of the Storm Ocean, he ordered Hope
The ship broke out of the church's surveillance circle... Although it was still destroyed in the end, his actions ultimately destroyed the foundation of this world."
At this point, the truth about everything that the indigenous people of this world know and what happened to the Hope has been revealed to us.
We exchanged glances one after another. It can be said that the development of things is not too unexpected, but it is also full of drama. After my sister pondered for a while, she suddenly remembered another thing worth paying attention to: "You mentioned the mission just now...
This word shouldn’t be used casually, right?”
I also remembered what my sister said. I almost ignored that sentence just now. Yoder said it smoothly, "We must survive before the mission is completed."
"Do the people in this world have any mission?" My sister asked, "We have been in contact with the aboriginal people here for a while, but we have never heard of such a thing."
"Of course, we are waiting here with a mission," Yoder said, with a proud glow on his face, but the glory disappeared in a flash, "However, ordinary people should have forgotten these things, only the church
This mission has been passed down from generation to generation. We always remember that the ancient gods established this refuge in order to entrust us with an important task - although now it seems that the environment of this refuge is deteriorating day by day.
"
"What is the mission?" Sandora suddenly raised her eyes and looked directly into Yoder's eyes. The golden light flashed through her hair. This little mental puncture made Yoder hesitate.
His expression became confused for a moment.
"Mission? We have to give that to God," the archbishop said with his head hanging. "They asked us to keep that thing until they return to this world. We are the chosen custodians. When God returns to this world, I want to
Leave it with your own hands into the hands of God.”
Sandora withdrew the mental interference to prevent any damage to the old man in front of her if it lasted too long, and then connected the mental connection with me: "It seems that 720,000 years ago, the two sides fighting here
Give something to the ancestors of these indigenous people."
"Do you think it's Viska or Emperor?"
"...Do you think I know?" Sandora rolled her eyes at me.
Yoder suddenly woke up from his trance and realized that he had just muddle-headedly told the biggest secret of every archbishop. The expression on his face was very annoyed. Obviously, even though he had told us a lot of insignificant things,
Things, secrets like this final mission cannot be talked about casually.
But now that he has said it, there is no way to undo it. He finally gave up the entanglement and looked at us calmly: "Now that you know what you want to know, shouldn't you tell me how to solve the problem of world decline?
Yes? If you came here from a rich country, there must be a way."
"Don't worry about it yet," Sister thought for a while and said with a smile, "Can you tell me what you just mentioned about the things you want to give to the gods when they return?"
