Inside the tower
As the speeding train disappeared into the void, He Ao raised his head and glanced overhead.
The angel didn't chase him in. It seems that the things in the tower are indeed quite dangerous.
Ordinary B-level monsters and extraordinary beings cannot detect it, but A-level angels seem to be keenly aware of the difference.
He Ao withdrew his gaze and looked in front of him.
At this moment, he was in front of a closed metal door. Opening this door revealed the core control room of the tower.
There was dried splattered blood all around this door. A small part of it looked like human blood stains, which should have been left from the battle when Ho Ao came last time. Most of the rest looked like it came from a huge giant.
The monster should be left behind by the B-class giant octopus that chased him before.
The last time he came, he used the power of the B-class giant octopus to drive away the monster disguised as 'Liu Nan' that 'tricked' him in.
At the same time, he used the metal door to cut off several tentacles of the big octopus that were chasing him. The blood should have been left at that time.
The big octopus couldn't sense the threat from the tower, but it was too big to squeeze in. So until He Ao left the tower through the secret passage last time, the big octopus was still guarding him at the door of the tower.
Judging from the time conversion, a year has passed since He Ao last left the ruins. I wonder if the big octopus is still guarding the door of the tower.
But this time He Ao came in and didn't meet the monster that could disguise itself as someone else. I don't know where it went, but judging from the ferocity of the big octopus, it would have to pay a high price if it wanted to escape from the big octopus.
.
Turning his gaze back in front of him, He Ao glanced across the closed metal door in front of him. The metal platform next to the metal door was the verification switch of this door.
The space inside the tower is different from the space outside. There seems to be some higher-dimensional force acting on the space inside the tower, making the entire inside space appear in a "semi-blocked" state.
In the Verora's perception, the overall space in the tower is "jelly"-like, and the deeper you go, the harder it is to squeeze in.
The Velora tried its best, but could only send him to the corridor outside the core control room.
Judging from the previous situation of the Newland City State and the fight against the nameless angel just now, to achieve the effect of sealing off such a large area of space, at least the ability of an angel-level high-ranking being is required.
In other words, the entire tower is likely to be filled with some kind of large-scale high-level blockade capability, and it may have lasted for at least hundreds of years.
It may even be that these space blockades are just some kind of 'peripheral extension' of this blockade ability.
And this blockade may be related to the existence below the tower.
He Ao walked to the metal platform next to the metal door.
The being below the tower has been staying in the tower, most likely because he doesn't want to come out.
He pressed his hand on the screen of the metal table.
With a flash of light, lines of words for Federal District 2 appeared on the screen, and then, the entire metal door slowly opened.
This system did not recognize He Ao before. Later, He Ao borrowed the commander chip and forged palm prints and pupil membranes brought in by the 'Gravekeeper' to reset the program, and then used soul binding to bind his identity again.
Entered into the verification system.
Because of the uniqueness of soul binding, he is now the only 'commander' of this system.
Diffuse lights illuminate the core control room behind the door.
The place still remains as it was when He Ao last left it, with chairs scattered around, the dismantled central computer, and the charcoal ashes left over from the last barbecue He Ao made.
While He Ao was looking at the control room, deep in his eyes, a wisp of orange-gray light was gradually emerging.
He walked into the core control room again, raised his hand and closed the metal door.
Almost the moment he walked into the control room, a strong throbbing emerged from the bottom of his heart.
He subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the corner of the control room.
There, there is a metal door inlaid with a circular turntable that resembles a ship's rudder.
The surging attraction flooded into He Ao's thoughts almost instantly, rushed into his brain, and lured him to slowly approach the metal door.
He stared at the metal turntable in front of the door.
The last time he came here, he tried to open the turntable but failed to turn it.
However, last time he only had D-level strength, and now that his super memory has reached B-level, it seems that there is no hope of opening this door.
He slowly stretched out his hand and touched the circular turntable.
boom--
At this moment, a roar like a huge explosion exploded in He Ao's mind. The movement of his hands suddenly stopped, and his whole body froze.
Two lines of bloody tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes almost instantly, and the blood that penetrated the skin spread all over his skin, and in the depths of his deep pupils, two orange-gray rings nested together suddenly emerged with brilliance.
Huge orange-gray eyes were quickly outlined in the sky behind He Ao's head. This eye that was usually in a semi-virtual state was completely solidified at this moment, with its eyes lowered and staring at He Ao.
Metal door in front of you.
The whole world was 'unfolding' in He Ao's field of vision at this moment, and countless twisted lines were reflected in his pupils.
His eyes were fixed on the metal door in front of him.
In the twisted gaps that make up the whole world, there seemed to be some invisible purple dotted line extending from behind the closed door, like hanging willows dancing around his body, wrapping around his body, his
soul.
Time seems to stand still at this moment.
Those dotted lines seemed to feel He Ao's 'eyes', they swayed and closed their bodies, and suddenly retracted behind the metal door.
The world fell into silence again, as if nothing just happened and those dotted lines never appeared.
He Ao turned sideways and lay back against the metal wall next to him, breathing heavily.
Blood and sweat had penetrated his back, and he could even hear his heart beating rapidly in his chest.
He looked down at the new blood stains covering his hands and took a deep breath.
At this moment, the eyes behind him have gradually disappeared, and the brilliance oozing from his pupils has gradually disappeared.
He didn't even notice that he was affected just now. Everything was so 'let nature take its course' and he had to open the door 'naturally'.
Even though he already had a "forecast" in his mind that what was under the tower was very dangerous, he was still affected without any precautions.
What was it like when you first came here?
All thoughts flashed through He Ao's mind quickly.
When he first came here, he was attracted and tried to open this door, but he was unable to open it because he was not strong enough.
And that uninjured experience had already planted the "seed" in his heart called "It's safe to do this", which made him subconsciously feel that there was nothing wrong with trying it.
I'm afraid he was already affected by that time.
It's just that he was too weak at that time and couldn't feel the invisible influence at all.
This time, if it weren't for the fact that he carried the Eye of Truth that was strongly bound to himself, and the invisible dotted line triggered the power of the Eye of Truth, he might have reached out and opened the door.
He didn't know what was behind the door.
But if the other party is so careful to tempt him to open it, there is a high probability that what lies behind will not be a beautiful paradise.
But the thing behind the door is probably much stronger than the nameless angel outside who possesses some kind of 'monarch' power.
That angel does not have the ability to force the Eye of Truth to reveal itself just by relying on some overflowing power.
He Ao took a deep breath and began to review all his impressions of this door from the beginning.
When he first came into contact with this door, he felt a similar attraction to the dancing girl. In fact, it was precisely because of this attraction that he came all the way to the tower.
This should be the attraction of high-level beings to low-level beings on the same path.
At that time, he judged that the thing behind the door should be related to the promotion of high-level super memory.
Is there any problem with this judgment?
He Ao looked at the closed metal door again.
The invisible attraction still existed, prompting him to open the door.
He calmed down little by little, pushed aside the feeling of attraction beneath the surface, and tried to analyze its composition.
He had experienced this familiar and natural attraction from dancers and orators.
But when he had felt a similar attraction before, he had not had such a strong 'desire' to get it that overcame his reason.
Attraction is okay, it's just 'distorted and amplified'.
He Ao thought back to the invisible 'dotted line' he just saw. The dotted line itself had a purple light.
His cognition and feelings may be affected, but the power of the Eye of Truth should still be stable.
The power of Super Memory is also purple, and abilities of the same color seem to be close together on the periodic table of talent sequences.
From this point of view, the things inside are very likely to be related to super memory, and there is a high probability that they are angel-level items with the same path as super memory.
At this time, He Ao remembered the 'monster' who disguised himself as Liu Nan and brought him here. He Ao seemed to be a Class B person on the path adjacent to Super Memory.
He Ao could feel a very weak sense of attraction from him before, so conversely, would the thing behind the door also feel attracted to the monster?
In other words, the monster might actually be 'attracted' by the thing behind the door?
And that monster keeps deceiving other beings to open the door of the tower and find ways to enter the core control room. Is it also because of what is behind this door?
In the end, the monster brought 'He Ao' over, and the 'seed' of attraction was planted in the heart of He Ao, the being behind the door.
Just like playing chess, place the chess pieces where they should be and try to 'open the door' again and again.
Well, it smells like the super memory pathway.
He Ao withdrew his gaze from the metal door, took a deep breath, and raised his hand.
Obviously, he couldn't deal with the thing behind the door in a state where he couldn't even activate the Eye of Truth for long.
However, this did not go beyond his plan. He did not come here for the things behind the door, but just to check it out.
It's just that he didn't expect the other party's power to be so strange and powerful.
But this also reminded him, giving him a higher estimate of the strength of the being behind the door, and he had more things to prepare.
However, the more powerful the being behind the door is, the closer the mystical distance between the past ruins at the tower location and the real ruins should be.
The more likely it is that the passage opened here can support He Ao's past.
He Ao opened his hand and looked at the echoes of the past that were changing between paper and ashes suspended in his hand.
It's time to get down to business.
——
Relics of the past
"Is that a bookstore?"
Goya, who was walking at the front, passed through the crowd, raised the staff in her hand, and looked up at the building in front of her that was mainly decorated with brown glass. This scattered glass reflected bright colors in the sunlight.
“It’s beautifully built, like a museum.”
Li Cheng also raised his head and looked forward.
"In an era of high digitization, there are actually very few people who read books themselves,"
He Ao raised his head and glanced at the building in front of him, and slowly walked towards the glass door of the building. "The role of books itself has become similar to the embodiment of 'knowledge', and it is a luxury product that can be used to take photos and show off."
"So the business method of bookstores has changed from selling books to 'tourist attractions'. These bookstores themselves do not rely on books as their main profit point, but make money by selling cultural and creative works, co-branded peripherals, and beverages such as coffee, milk tea, etc."
This is what the bookstore in the copy world is like.
In fact, because of the luxury nature of books, bookstores in the copy world are generally located in the most prosperous areas of the city, and are integrated with the surrounding entertainment venues as a whole.
"oh."
Goya nodded.
"I see."
Li Cheng nodded slightly beside him. He basically didn't pay attention to these things. His focus was on extraordinary research.
The three of them quickly entered the bookstore.
This bookstore is very large, with three floors. There is a huge paper three-dimensional map at the door.
It's just that the words marked on the map are all about the first area, and the icons of the categories on the map are not clear enough, making it impossible to clearly understand which area is used for what.
There is no way to know immediately where to find the map of the ruins.
The scattered crowd passed by the three of them.
"Let's go look for them separately."
He Ao glanced at the map in front of him, "Li Cheng is on the first floor, Ge Ya is on the second floor, and I'll go to the third floor."
"Um."
"good."
The two people next to him nodded at the same time.
At this moment, He Ao's soul came, took back the mark on Lin Chichi, and then placed a mark on both Li Cheng and Ge Ya.
The three of them looked at each other and immediately separated.
Li Cheng entered the first floor directly, while He Ao and Ge Ya turned around and went up the escalator on the side.
Ge Ya stopped on the second floor, while He Ao continued to go up to the third floor.
And shortly after a few people left, a thin figure who was sitting at the door of the first floor reading a book raised his head and looked into the depths of the bookstore.
He Ao quickly arrived at the third floor.
Most of them seemed to be reference books. He walked along the gaps between the bookshelves and quickly scanned the arranged bookshelves.
He quickly scanned some books whose covers were about popularizing basic science knowledge, and passed several exquisitely decorated beverage and coffee areas. After scanning most of the entire floor, he stopped.
Come down.
Thick books labeled in various languages appeared in his field of vision.
He walked to a bookshelf, stretched out his hand, and brushed his fingers through the thick books, finally stopping on a 'dictionary' with both the first and second zone languages marked.
