"I'm very curious." Laite, who was struggling to get up, looked at Luo Nie's random changes in attitude and tone and asked in confusion:
"What kind of existence is the 'Ancient Mechanical God' you speak of? Just now Sai told me that you were praying to the 'Metamorphosis'. Why did you become it?"
"'Ancient Mechanical God'..." Luo Nie did not answer directly. Instead, he twisted up the pink sticky substance stuck to his cyberpunk-style light gray work clothes, put it to his mouth, blew it off, and turned his back to
Zhu Laite said in a slightly "dark" tone:
"It's part of the 'Metamorphosis'."
"Part of it?" Laite wondered. At the same time, he felt a strong sense of dizziness sprouting and erupting from the depths of his soul. He staggered and sat down on the ancient bluestone bricks covered with scattered grass and a lot of moss.
"That's right. 'Fusioners', as the name suggests, 'people who fuse weird things'. Ordinary humans will panic when faced with evil spirits. Powerful magicians, or those who claim to be extraordinary, will destroy them and leave a place behind."
The black powder. But the gods will not. Her body may be human, the kind of "dangerous person" stared at by the abyss. Later, she defeated the powerful bird and seized the ability to fly; she defeated the eternal deep sea
Occasionally, the ancient god surfaced from the water and watched the sunshine, and captured the 'tentacles'; she defeated many servants created by the 'Lord of Machinery' and captured the body of steel. After a long period of understanding, she
During his endless sleep, he chose to release a combination of the 'Ancient Mechanical God' to respond to the worship of believers." Luo Nie said, his eyes seemed to be shining, full of strange hope.
"So from the moment you entered the Silver Moon Temple, you were listening to her guidance?" Laite asked puzzled.
"Yes, but only between temples. You should know, Laite, that mechanical bodies have a unique ability to communicate. With weak electromagnetic fluctuations, we can clearly know whether what the other party is telling is the truth or a lie.
The 'Old Mechanical God' did not deceive me. What is behind the 'door' is a new process, the process leading to the divine realm. Moreover, our mechanical bodies, whether they are the products of the 'Lord of Machines' or built by humans, will
It resonates to a certain extent. And I really 'heard' the mechanical operation belonging to the gods, and she, the 'Daughter of Mechanical Yuan', is indeed getting closer to us." Luo Nie said in an emotional tone.
"I hope so, I hope everything can... go so smoothly." Laite did not question Luo Nie's explanation. At this moment, facing the so-called "lover" of tarot card divination, Laite had no right to choose to doubt.
.
Holding the bluestone brick with one hand, Laite stood up again and looked around the not-so-large space. He suddenly felt how small he was.
In the eyes of future historical recorders, the deity "Daughter of Tool Yuan", the war "The Coming of Silence", and the ritual "Lalaya's Dream" are nothing more than a few unimportant parts of a thick red book.
These events and characters are nothing more than a grain of sand in the magnificent world created by the Creator. When it falls to the ground, it will stir up endless energy, burst out into tons of lava, and drown all the poor people in it.
Some are as great as stars; some are as small as ants.
From the time I traveled to the present, I am nothing more than a puppet with thoughts but restricted strings. If I follow the predetermined trajectory until the moment when it loses its value, my life may be like Natasha and Kayas.
, Moros, Wind, Say, etc. are coming to an end and dying.
Sighing softly, Laite slapped his cheek hard, trying to wake himself up completely from the fantastic dream and heavy thinking just now.
Immediately, he looked around and began to observe the space around him.
It looks like a palace, but also has the style of a church or tower.
The overall structure of the space is a cylinder, and the circular floor is paved with strips of rectangular bluestone bricks. However, due to the invasion of history, part of them is missing, exposing the soft soil underneath with grass and wild flowers growing there.
But in the very center of the space is a well with a diameter of five or six meters, surrounded by bluestone bricks of similar material. Looking inside, Laite observed a dark and chaotic feeling, but he could vaguely see the style of the steam city.
.
Looking up, the red square bricks form the wall, and there are sporadic gaps between them. Some of the daylight shines through, illuminating the dust floating in the sky.
Due to the age, the surface of the wall has long been occupied by black mold, and most of the yellowish surface and the wallpaper that reflect the Zine Empire style have fallen off, revealing the color of the half-black and half-red square bricks.
However, what surprised Laite was that from the gap in a square brick, a creeper actually extended out. Looking at it, in such a dark space, they actually covered one-sixth of the wall, and it seemed that
An unknown, strange fruit oozing bright red liquid was produced.
Staring at the fruit, Laiteton felt that long-lost "memory fragments" were returning to his brain. Deep in his memory, he seemed to have seen this plant before.
It is not a real ivy, but a parasitic body of the "Bloodspring Flower".
Legend has it that it was a seed watered with blood by the wolves who belonged to the alien beasts in the First Age, who sacrificed their hearts and prayed to the gods.
Generally speaking, they are mostly distributed in the southern mountainous area and the far southeastern region of the Krusted Empire, close to the central empire, where the most alien beasts are found.
Rumor has it that its fruit has the ability to "bring the dead back to life", but it has a limited time limit and is mostly used in important battles or to obtain important information.
When the dead truly die, they will turn into furry monsters and attack humans in the dark.
But Laite's "memory fragments" clearly told him that this kind of "blood-source tip flower" with bizarre abilities had already disappeared in the 25th year of Yin Fan in the Krusted Empire, let alone in Zhenni.
The Empire saw it.
Therefore, it further confirms the statement that this is the connection between "different dimensions" mentioned by Luo Nie.
Continuing to raise his head and look up at the top of the space, Laite discovered a mechanical window that had lost most of its glass, leaving only some hanging glass fragments.
They surround the top of the cylindrical space, shaped like a pyramid, and the incandescent light shines brightly into the space, making it not absolutely dark.
Looking towards the top, Laite saw the broken mural on the flat top. The erosion of time seemed to have lost some of its effectiveness here. Even though the color was much darker, Laite could still read some of the intention.
On the periphery of the mural are stars, scattered in a blue night sky. In the middle circle is a purple apple pattern, symbolizing the fruit of the harvest.
The innermost part is a red dragon that folds its wings and tail and lingers lazily in place.
Its eyes were closed, its skull was shiny, many of its scales were missing, and it didn't have much vitality.
After staring at the mural and thinking for a long time, Laite lowered his head, rubbed his sore neck, and asked:
"What kind of message does this... transfer station want to convey to us?"
"Information?" Luo Nie was surprised that it was the first time someone asked him a question from this angle. After looking around and thinking for a while, he said:
"Life, or vitality."
"How do you understand?" Laite asked, taking a step closer to Luo Nie.
"When humans first created machines, they were destined to plunder nature and become enemies of all things. They used machines to create miracles one after another, such as cities, bridges, high-rise buildings and factories. When they rose from the ground, the Luyin River was polluted.
The snow line of the incandescent ice sheet continued to move upward, countless coniferous forests fell, and the ancient Mediterranean gradually evaporated. Therefore, when the 'Heartless Man' virus came, humans fled from the cities. They gave up their machines and palaces. Over time, mechanical
The shadows dissipated without a trace, but the ancient buildings close to nature were preserved, but they were reoccupied by plants and restored to life." Luo Nie explained his view.
"So, how does this relate to entering the next area?" Laite whispered.
"Of course it's 'Vita Water'." Luo Nie replied firmly:
"Life can only be nurtured where it exists, and ancient machinery is also buried deep under it."
As Luo Nie said this, he quickly stepped forward and walked to the well in the center of the space.
However, countless flesh-colored tentacles emerged from the gaps in the bluestone bricks at this moment and quickly wrapped around Luo Nie's legs.
Immediately afterwards, the tentacles stretched out sharp spikes one after another and pierced into Luo Nie's legs. Immediately, the pain that penetrated the bone marrow quickly spread to Luo Nie's whole body.
Fortunately, Luo Nie's reaction was quick enough. He quickly condensed the magic power belonging to the plants with his hands, and simultaneously fired purple magic cannons with both hands, making a sonic boom.
Touch! Touch!
As soon as the flesh-colored tentacles came into contact with the magic cannon, they quickly withered and turned into yellow dried meat.
With a slight tear, Luo Nie was freed from the restraints.
Then, he looked at the flesh-colored tentacles, thought of something, dried meat, and pulled out hard.
What surprised Laite was that the part he pulled out turned out to be a bloody rattan. He rolled up part of the rattan while continuing to pull. Finally, Laite saw a flower that exuded a charming smell.
"I didn't expect it to be a mutated involute flower." Luo Nie felt strange, but it was not difficult to see a hint of excitement hidden in his expression.
"The inner curling flower...does this kind of mutation exist?" Laite exclaimed in a low voice.
This kind of variation mixed with biological types was beyond his knowledge.
He had only heard Moros introduce the "Exciting Inner Curling Flower" and the "Soothing Inner Curling Flower" on the "Eternal Motion Train". Such "mutated varieties" were really rare.
Before Laite could figure out the reason, Luo Nie forcefully tore off the connection between the vine and the inner curling flower, handed half of the white petals to Laite, and said:
"Light it up."
"Isn't it... hallucinogenic?" Laite took the petals and asked hesitantly.
"It is not the 996 version, nor is it a soothing type. It is infected by ancient gods and mechanical power, but it will enhance your concentration. You may have heard that 'Vita Water' has no mass or volume and falls into
You can breathe in it, but the water will stimulate negative emotions in your heart, that is, you will be surrounded by 'sad'. If your will is not firm and your thinking is not sensitive, you will be trapped in it and unable to extricate yourself, and eventually get lost in it and become them.
This kind of mutated involute flower that grows around the 'Vita Water' is a good medicine to dispel the 'sad'. Believe me, light it, suck it, and the 'sad' will leave you." Luo Nie
urged.
Laite nodded, then he closed his eyes, and the red magic power surged in his body, emitting some bright red flames, and ignited the petals.
Suddenly, a wisp of white smoke rose from it, and it penetrated into Laite's nasal cavity as if consciously, and dissipated there.
Two seconds later, Laite opened his eyes, and strangely, he saw four scarlet eyes swaying in the darkness of the square brick wall.
Squinting and looking carefully, the scarlet eye seems to be growing on a dark shadow of a human shape!
