Bai Huo showed great interest in Doudou, but Hao Ren didn't have time to explain to her in detail how a fish was transformed into a pure-blooded demon-hunting fish by the Holy Artifact of Origin, because he was already under Bai Huo's leadership.
We arrived near the largest crack.
On the top of this large palace closest to the clock tower in the spirit world, there is an open half-moon-shaped platform. This platform was the place where the Demon Legion and the Elder Order fought over and over again. The powerful evil energy and magical power were in this area.
Many indelible traces were left on the platform. Some twisted energy aberrations that looked like spiritual creatures were wandering around on the platform, and the demon hunters responsible for cleaning up the battlefield set up huge traps on the edge of the platform.
device to eliminate these aberrations. Hao Ren saw a huge lavender crack that looked like a knife slashing across the platform, which was the "weird phenomenon" Bai Huo said.
"This thing really doesn't look like an ordinary space rift..."
Hao Ren landed on the platform, and after confirming that the environment was safe, he looked closely at the crack. The length of the crack was about thirty meters, and the widest part reached five meters. The shape of the main body of the crack seemed to be cut open by a sharp blade, and the two sides of the crack were
Many irregular turtle cracks extend out from the end edge, and a kind of lavender floating light surges in the cracks, sometimes with substance, sometimes with illusion, making it impossible to determine whether they really exist or are just phantoms.
And these rays of light also blocked any sight of peeking into the crack. Hao Ren took out an elf rapier from his pocket and tried to stab it into the lavender light curtain. He found that the blade went directly through it, but it didn't.
Entering a so-called alien space, he bent down and found the tip of the rapier emerging from the back of the crack.
What looks like a "space crack" is actually just a light and shadow effect?
"It's just a shadow?" Lily knelt down and looked at the sword blade coming out from the other side of the crack, "It doesn't lead to anywhere."
"No, take a closer look." Bai Huo pointed at Hao Ren and observed the front end of the rapier. "The length of the blade is shorter and a little crooked to the side. This shows that there is something inside the purple crack.
There should be a layer of folded space inside, and there should be a certain angle between it and the real space."
Hao Ren took a closer look and found that it was indeed the case. He was using a short sword from the Erim elves. The blade was about fifty centimeters long. But when he put the thin sword with its hilt into the purple crack, another sword emerged from the other side.
The sword blade protruding from one end is only forty centimeters long, and part of the blade is obviously located in another space.
Lily rolled her eyes and thought for a while, thinking: "This is not easy, just throw a small detector in. If you are afraid of losing it, tie it with a rope, as long as the size of the camera is smaller than the folding space of this layer
, you can see what’s going on inside.”
Not to mention, this husky usually seems confused and dumbfounded, but in fact she has a lot of clever ideas, and most of the time her ideas are good.
"We have already tried it," Bai Huo shook his head. "The conclusion is that any observation of the interior of the crack will cause it to shift its position, and this transfer is completed instantaneously. The original location of this crack was in the Temple Square below.
But after the investigators threw a few cameras inside, it ended up here. We were worried that if we tried this a few more times, the crack would move to a more unpredictable location, so we temporarily stopped testing."
"Can you still run?" Hao Ren was immediately surprised, "Huh... This doesn't sound like an ordinary space rift."
"Does this thing have any other properties besides this?" Vivian asked curiously.
Bai Huo nodded: "It has many strange properties. For example, it has been continuously releasing trace amounts of radiation. It is not affected by any external energy, and its size will change over time, about every two hours.
It expands by 10% and will change back in the next two hours. But these properties are not important in my opinion, and there is no way to explain its essence."
Hao Ren hummed, took out the data terminal and asked it to detect the strange cracks. At the same time, he asked casually: "How did these things appear? Were there any witnesses at the time? Are there any noteworthy phenomena before and after they appeared?"
"Appeared suddenly, without warning," Bai Huo replied. "Two demon hunters happened to witness the moment when the rift appeared, but they only saw this thing suddenly appear. There is no useful information. So far in the spirit world
Dozens of such cracks have appeared around the clock tower, with different shapes and sizes. And apart from their sudden appearance, they have not caused any problems. They are just like shadows, simply floating in the air."
Hao Ren smacked his lips: "To be honest, you should have informed me earlier when such a strange thing happened. You also know that I am investigating this matter."
Bai Huo spread his hands: "This kind of thing may be strange 'outside', but in Corpus... all kinds of abnormal phenomena in this ancient ruins are commonplace, especially the weirdness in time and space.
Things were everywhere, almost everywhere, and we were all numb."
As she spoke, she smiled awkwardly: "Furthermore, so many energy nodes were shut down during the war, coupled with the free magic energy on the battlefield, these are all factors that can easily cause space tearing, so at the beginning even my mentor
No one paid attention to the condition of these cracks.”
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and finally he could only sigh: "You guys are so generous..."
These guys are just like those who have been on the battlefield for a long time and are not afraid of death. They have watched too many non-mainstream and are not afraid of ghosts. Their ancestors have lived in Corpus, where the space is unstable. Now they see something like a space-time rift suddenly appearing in their home.
I didn’t even take it seriously!
At this time, the data terminal had already circled the "space crack" several times, and it suddenly flew in front of Bai Huo: "Tell this unit the locations of all other cracks, and this unit will detect them one by one."
Hao Ren and Bai Huo said in unison: "What did you find?"
"This is indeed a space crack, but it is not naturally formed at all," the data terminal said quickly. "There are very complex encryption traces. This machine believes that it is necessary to sort out the laws of other space cracks before cracking their encryption algorithms."
Hao Ren was stunned when he heard this: "Encryption?! Do you mean this thing is man-made?"
Without waiting for the terminal to answer, he suddenly realized what this meant: These "cracks" were probably really things left in Corpus by the Goddess of Creation!
At first, he had the same idea as Bai Huo, thinking that the previous fierce battle destroyed the balance of the Corpus energy node group, coupled with the catalysis of the demonic evil energy, which led to the appearance of so many energy nodes in this unstable space.
distortion cracks, but now the discovery of the data terminal points to a new conjecture: perhaps these "cracks" have existed for a long time, and are specially created by the goddess of creation, but they have been hidden by some mechanism. Perhaps before
What kind of preset program was triggered in that war that caused these cracks to surface?
Hao Ren's thoughts only happened in a moment. He soon calmed down and turned to look at Bai Huo: "You said there are dozens of such cracks in total?"
"This is just a conservative estimate," Bai Huo immediately replied, "We have found dozens of cracks, but there are still some seriously damaged palaces that have not been cleaned up yet, and some places where the concentration of magic energy is too high are still inaccessible.
I’m afraid there are cracks in those places as well.”
Hao Ren nodded and waved his hand to open the portable space. A large group of autonomous machines flashing silver and waving tentacles flew out. These autonomous machines were flying around, waiting for Hao Ren's orders at any time.
.
"It's too slow to check one by one. Terminal, I will transfer the control authority of these autonomous machines to you, and you can direct them to check the cracks in other places. Baihuo, please call some people over and take these robots to find you.
Those fissures that have been discovered.”
Everyone had no objections to Hao Ren's arrangement. Bai Huo raised his hand and fired a flare over the temple. After the bright silver flames flashed, dozens of elite demon hunters dressed in black appeared silently.
on the platform.
"Each of you take one of these... uh... robotic tentacle monsters and go near the distortion rifts," Bai Huo directed his senior investigators, "Lockhan and Donna, you two go to summon the Twin Towers Temple.
The special service team members, ask them to check the area that was cleaned yesterday. If it is correct, the concentration of magic energy there should have dropped. Send someone in to see if there are any cracks there. If there are any cracks, report back immediately.
.in addition……"
Bai Huo quickly issued orders one after another. It was obvious that she was still a little rusty when issuing orders and was not as experienced as her mentor, but she still showed good scheduling ability and momentum. Given time, she will obviously be able to
Grow into an outstanding demon hunter no less than Hasselblad.
However, Hao Ren still had some objections: "What, these are not mechanical tentacle monsters... they are called autonomous machines."
