Chapter 14 Lifeforms Three Hundred Light Years Away
"What's the big plan?"
"..."
"You have the mark left by the King of Tanzania."
"..."
"Where are his holy remains?"
"..."
"Then...what is "NGC-8843 Document"?"
"..."
"Change another one? Have you reached contact with the [Children of the Planet] in the Melody Galaxy? Tell me, 1--456, are there any sane individuals left in the [Children of the Planet]?"
"..."
"...the manufacturing process of the Philosopher's Stone?"
"..."
…
"Okay, okay, I'm really not surprised at all."
Time stopped.
In a long and somewhat embarrassing silence, the young doctor shrugged and suddenly closed the record file in his hand that contained thousands of questions.
"I'm not Minerva. I can be bored enough to spend a whole day with you and feel quite happy afterwards. This kind of one-man show has no audience, no applause, and no one to talk to. It just makes me feel
I'm like the red-haired monkey in the circus who rides a bicycle desperately just to eat bananas."
"Like countless times before, 1--456, you still refuse to answer any questions except philosophy, right?"
There was no sound in the huge crystal wall.
The young doctor scratched his head. He silently looked at the silent and suspended shadow in the giant wall, and sighed helplessly again.
"After Minerva leaves, I will be responsible for supervising you, 1--456." He clapped his hands gently:
"Before I am transferred to this branch in Brown City, to celebrate my promotion, can you answer me a question, one?"
The air was filled with the smell of cold and metal rust, like the wind blowing from the deepest part of hell.
In this containment room, which is the size of four standard football fields, there is nothing but a giant crystal wall.
Within the huge crystal wall, a life form composed of twisted machinery and gears is suspended silently...
It looks like a steel octopus with long and numerous tentacles, and like a large exposed brainstem tissue with dense blood vessels extending out.
…
[Project number]: 1-456 (Mechanical Priest).
[Item Level]; Sequence One/Untouchable.
[Description]: 1--456 is a mechanical life form. Under normal conditions, it looks like a mechanical octopus that is 20m tall and changes volume and weight all the time. 1--456 is an abnormal extraterrestrial life that can control many things on a macro scale.
quantum properties, thereby modifying machinery within a certain range, including but not limited to giving them life and thinking capabilities.
After experiments, it was discovered that 1--456 has certain anti-memes, anti-memes, and the ability to be immune to distortions in the world. If it is not restricted and allowed to devour machinery and obtain sufficient energy supplements, 1--456 can rewrite itself at will.
and the form of its mechanical creations, generating weapons including but not limited to recoil plasma railguns, anti-matter bombs, particle pulses, titanium gold armor and other weapons.
1--456 possesses advanced wisdom and is suspected to come from an unknown advanced civilization outside the river system.
[Supplement 1]: During the containment process, it has demonstrated extremely high weapons technology, even some that surpass the foundation's technology. In order to successfully contain 1--456, the foundation dispatched twenty-three special operations teams.
The dispatch team participated, and was personally led by five [Glory Nobles], specifically responsible for tracking and capturing it.
[Supplement 2]: The containment operation is over, all twenty-three operational task forces have been reduced, and three of the [Glory Nobles] have been lost in battle.
[Special Containment Procedures]: Special containment measures will be taken for 1-456. It needs to be placed in a safe bunker with no mechanical parts and no metal objects. It will be restrained by Containment 3-01 (crystal giant wall).
action.
1--456 will be detained at the Foundation branch in Blanc City, under the direct responsibility of the branch heads Dr. Minerva and Dr. Luga. For routine questioning of 1--456, at least three people should be present, wearing uniforms.
Metal-free special protective clothing and communicator, and a safe distance of at least 500m from 1--456.
…
The young doctor raised his head and looked up at the mechanical priest in the giant crystal wall.
Beside him, Dalton and Ma, who were also wearing special protective clothing, looked alert and wary.
These are two young people——
Dalton is a red-haired boy. He looks handsome at first glance, but when he smiles, it makes people feel like he just got some welfare from the women's bathroom; Ma Yin has a more mature temperament, and his left hand is covered with a
It was replaced by a vine, and the thin branches swayed gently in the protective suit, making the young man look like a mysterious tree spirit in the forest.
At this time, the two doctor's assistants were holding the communicators tightly in their hands.
Just wait for things to get out of hand, break out of the containment area, and call for combatants outside to clean up the containment area thoroughly.
"one?"
After an unknown amount of time, a stiff electronic sound finally came from the giant crystal wall.
"One." The young doctor laughed.
"Then please tell me, doctor."
"Now I have only one question, 1--456." Luga took a step forward.
In front of him was a high crystal wall as deep as a prehistoric relic, and the mechanical octopus floating silently inside the high wall, with its dangerous and mysterious appearance, was just like those creatures in civilization that had brought disaster to the world in history.
demon.
"Why did you come to this planet?" Luga raised his head: "What is your purpose?"
In order to contain it, the Foundation paid a high price for twenty-three operational task forces and three [Glory Nobles].
In order to contain it, the strong radiation in North Western Asia has not dissipated yet, and even the [Crystal Giant Wall] of Level 3 has been withdrawn from the front line where the battle is fierce to restrain its movements.
"For the grand scheme of things."
“What’s the big plan?”
"..."
"Does the Grand Plan have anything to do with this planet?"
"..."
…
"Okay." Lu Ga smiled helplessly: "1--456, we may not have the chance to meet again, but I still wish you a happy life."
Assistants Dalton and Ma Yin behind him were obviously relieved.
The two looked at each other and made a gesture to the outside. The security restrictions outside the bunker were lifted, revealing the figures of combatants who had been waiting outside with loaded ammunition.
Lu Jia waved his hand and turned around.
He was used to the silence of this mechanical priest.
The past 14,566 inquiries have yielded no results, and there will be no exception for the 14,567th time.
"I come from a planet located 300 light years away from you. Its former name was Tiberius."
A cold mechanical sound suddenly sounded.
Luga turned around.
A huge shadow fell from the sky, and the mechanical priest in the giant crystal wall slowly danced its tentacles. There was no emotion in his giant eyes, and his mouthparts opened and closed:
"Doctor, have you ever experienced fear?"
"Does it tell the truth?"
Half an hour later.
The security restrictions in the containment area were lifted, and Dr. Luga, Dalton, and Main walked out. Their expressions were solemn and shocked, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Whether it's true or not, have those words been recorded?" Lu Ga picked up the record in Dalton's hand, and the two of them nodded quickly.
"Report it to the [Twenty-eight-member Council]. As for whether it is true or false, it is up to the [Glory Nobles] themselves to judge."
Luga handed the record back.
He looked around. The security personnel in the base all raised their chests to meet his eyes with serious expressions. Soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor and biochemical reproductive suits stood on both sides, holding restraint guns tightly in their hands.
“It’s an honor to work with you all for such a long time.”
He was silent for a moment.
From other containment areas farther away, the roar of some kind of prehistoric beast, women's cries, whispers, high-pitched whines and unknown murmurs could be heard vaguely, like shouts coming from the deepest part of the torrent of hell.
Demons dancing wildly————
In the cold searchlight of the corridor, Lu Ga slowly put his hand on his heart: "In this dark universe, aren't we the ones who protect mankind?"
"Everything is in the name of humanity, and everything is for humanity's wish."
"praise!"
"praise!"
The chanting voice gradually grew louder, converging into a roaring tide, overwhelming the screams and whispers of the unknown creatures.
"Supreme Glory!!!!!!" The soldiers put their hands on their chests and shouted this ancient motto in unison.
There is no god and no savior.
In the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years of dark history of mankind, the only one who can protect mankind and ignite the fire is mankind itself.
"Dr. Luga, we have found out the recent movements of the separatists in Blanc City, which are related to the Masons."
At the end of the line of soldiers, a young woman in a white coat who looked like a researcher turned around in the corner of the corridor.
She was stunned, then stepped forward and handed the computer in her hand to Lu Ga, who frowned instantly after seeing the text on the screen clearly.
"Masonry, Class D Investigator Reilly Morsolus?"
Lu Ga moved the cursor down and couldn't help complaining: "Why do the separatists use our position system? This title of D-class investigator reminds me of my student days. It's really horrible."
"Because the earliest separatist faction was originally part of the foundation..." The woman smiled.
There was a vague stiff tone in her throat, which was inexplicably reminiscent of the most primitive reaction of a cyborg learning an unfamiliar language.
Lu Ga gave the woman a confused look.
The woman raised her face in confusion and stopped what she was saying.
A hint of cold metallic color flashed briefly in her irises, and then it flashed away again, like an illusion under the light.
"Hey, we're sorry, doctor." Beside him, Dalton casually glanced at the laptop handed over by the woman. Just as he was about to look away, he was suddenly glued to a certain word on the screen.
"It says here that the Mason's investigator recently visited an orphanage."
His face looked half troubled and half looking at a show: "Ilyich Orphanage..."
"Father Ilyich's orphanage? The one on Lofogen 11th Avenue?"
The computer's cursor continued to slide down. Lu Jia lowered his head. After seeing the line of words clearly, he also had a headache instantly.
"As before, report it to those [Glory Nobles]. Although Minerva and I are responsible for the supervision of Blanc City, this matter is not within our authority."
Lu Ga lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then waved to the woman: "Let the Glory Blood descendants and the [Twenty-eight-person Council] handle it. Remember to hand over all the original materials to them."
"I understand." The woman took the laptop and left quickly.
On one side, Dalton watched the woman go away with some reluctance. Her hips swayed slightly as she walked, outlines a plump and round shape under her white coat, like a ripe peach.
"What's her name, Lily?" Lu Gal said suddenly.
"ah……"
"I'll give you a task, monitor her, and I'll give you access to Class B."
Lu Ga patted him on the shoulder and said to the warrior commander on the side: "Assist him and help him if necessary."
