The ripples in the darkness gradually calmed down, and those pale words no longer appeared. No matter how Zhou Ming concentrated or searched in the darkness, he could no longer see those weird "conversations".
Yes, a conversation, that was undoubtedly a conversation, and... it seemed to be a conversation that took place among the gods.
At least, Zhou Ming still knew the name "Bartok".
In the darkness, Zhou Ming stood quietly. He no longer tried to cause new ripples, but fell into long-term thinking - an astonishing amount of information surged up and down in his mind like a tide. In the calm thinking on the surface,
, what is hidden is huge confusion and confusion in thoughts.
Is this a bad joke? Clearly unlikely.
So is this really happening? If so, when did these conversations happen? Is it a record of what happened before, or... right now, in some mysterious dimension? "They" are talking
, and this conversation... was reflected in this dark and strange place.
Bartok, the name of the God of Death, is undeniable, but what do the other names represent? One of the most reasonable ideas is that those names all represent the gods, so the King of Fire is probably the one who spreads fire.
Tarijn, the "Eternal Burning Fire" worshiped by readers... Where is Queen Leviathan? Is she the Storm Goddess?
Another name for the Storm Goddess is "Queen Leviathan"?!
In the darkness, Zhou Ming gradually frowned. The extremely special title "Queen Leviathan" made him think of various speculations and associations, but compared to this, it was the fourth name that made him unable to control his thoughts.
——
The one who talks to the gods has a name called "LH-02".
If the interlocutors I saw just now represent the four gods, then the last one can only be the one in charge of wisdom and ignorance among the four gods...Rachem.
Rahm's name...is "LH-02"?! It doesn't sound like a name at all, but more like a number! A sequence that belongs to the machine!
Countless crazy conjectures were rising, and Zhou Ming felt that his mind was boiling. He even had to work hard to restrain his random thoughts to prevent those conjectures from becoming too ridiculous. After sorting out these messy conjectures,
However, he did not ignore the shocking information mentioned in those "conversations".
The situation is not optimistic, and the critical state is accelerating... The cluster controller has begun to copy itself, or has completely lost control...
These two sentences alone were enough for Zhou Ming to smell the tense and dignified atmosphere. What was the situation "they" mentioned? Is it the state of the world? So the critical state is accelerating...referring to a huge system.
Is collapse imminent?
Zhou Ming instantly recalled the last conversation he had with Agatha—Plande and Hanshuang had accidents one after another, and Vision 001 "failed". This series of events seemed like a huge system that was constantly failing.
The "precursor stage" of the problem.
So the cluster controller has started replicating itself...
Zhou Ming's expression suddenly condensed, and a sentence appeared in his mind -
"This is a fake."
In the darkness, he couldn't help but take a breath and subconsciously looked at the space where the text had just appeared, as if expecting more information to appear there.
Of course, nothing appears there.
Zhou Ming withdrew his gaze with a solemn expression.
Of course, there are still many issues worthy of attention. Although what I saw just now was only a few sentences of conversation, the amount of information behind each sentence was astonishing. Even the names of each interlocutor were worth thinking about for a long time - such as
Rahm, Gomona and Tarezin all used "pseudonyms", why did Bartok, the god of death, use his straightforward real name? At the end of the message, "LH-02", which was suspected to be Rahm, the god of wisdom, was also mentioned
A suspicious visitor, and mentioned that the other person "made a fool of himself and left"... What is this situation?
To be fair, if the first few sentences weren't packed with information, Zhou Ming would probably have focused all of his attention on the "dog head" at the end.
But now, this inconsistent statement just seems a little strange.
At this moment, a slight noise suddenly came from the depths of darkness, interrupting the storm in Zhou Ming's mind.
The sound that sounded like something was quietly breaking was very weak at first, almost like an auditory hallucination, but almost instantly, the breaking sound became obvious and intensive, followed immediately by countless chaotic lights and shadows emerging in the dark space.
Lines - increasingly dense noise filled Zhou Ming's mind. The entire dark space began to rapidly disintegrate and shatter. Rotating lights and shadows rose from all directions. The next second, he heard a "boom" in his head.
A loud bang!
The next second, a brief feeling of weightlessness and dizziness "pulled" him back to the real world. The touch of sitting on the chair made Duncan suddenly open his eyes.
Raging flames filled his eyes, and the nameless black book was already burning fiercely in his hands!
Alice's exclamation sounded from the side: "It's burning! Captain! The book is burning!"
Duncan was shocked and immediately put his hand on the blazing flames. He controlled the fire in the blink of an eye. However, the book burned incredibly fast. In just a blink of an eye, most of the book had turned into ashes.
The ashes were all gone, and all that remained on the table was a small half-book of messy pages.
A dark red liquid like blood seeped out from the remaining half of the book, soaking the pages and soaking them to pieces. Duncan frowned and opened the remaining pages, and found that they had turned into soft floc, and had obviously been destroyed.
Unable to read.
He raised his head with a subtle expression: "I don't seem to have done anything."
"Judging from the phenomenon... this book probably cannot withstand your power," Morris hesitated for a few seconds before he said hesitantly, "This is a significant 'extraordinary overload'."
"Can't bear my power?" Duncan frowned and muttered subconsciously.
Just can't bear my own power? What this book has just endured... I'm afraid it's not just my own power.
Perhaps, just now it acted as a medium - a medium that far exceeded its own limits.
Duncan recalled the golden sun mask he got in Purland - he glimpsed the appearance of the "real sun god" through that mask, but it also caused the mask to be scrapped.
Morris didn't know what Duncan was thinking, but he noticed that the captain's face was not very good, and couldn't help but add: "This book should be just a 'copy', using some special ritual, from
The extraordinary items copied from the original are indeed fragile..."
Duncan raised his head: "In other words, if there is an 'original', maybe it can be stably... 'read' by me?"
Morris adjusted his monocle: "...Theoretically."
Alice on the side looked left and right, and finally couldn't help but come over: "Captain, did you see something just now? Why do you feel so serious about your expression..."
Duncan rubbed his eyebrows, and what he had just seen in the darkness came to mind again, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly controlled the urge to tell the truth.
To weaker mortals, much "information" is itself poisonous.
"I saw something - different from what Morris saw," he said slowly after considering it carefully for a few seconds, "but I can't say the specific content because it might hurt you."
Vanna and Morris looked at each other immediately, and the next second, the same nervousness and solemn look appeared in their eyes.
After a brief thought, Morris said: "The content is different from what I have seen... In other words, this book will present different contents depending on the reader?"
"That may be the case, but it may just be that different content will be presented in front of 'me'," Duncan said thoughtfully, and then there was some regret in his tone, "It's a pity... I should have tested it at the end, even if it was first
It would be good to let Tirian take a look at the contents of the book, at least we can get more clues, but now the only 'sample' has been burned."
Morris' face suddenly looked a little weird. He opened his mouth to say something but didn't say anything. On the other hand, Fanna on the side was more upright: "This... we should also consider Mr. Tirian's physical and mental health, right?"
"Reading more books is better than watching erotic dances," Duncan waved his hand, "And with me taking care of you, nothing will happen... Let's not talk about this."
He shook his head, then his eyes fell on Fanna, and he decided to verify some things indirectly.
"Fanna, have you ever heard of the title or expression 'Queen Leviathan'?"
"Queen Leviathan?" Vanna was stunned when she heard this. The confusion on her expression did not seem to be fake, "Have you never heard of... the ruler of a certain city-state? But I have never heard of any city-state called this.
name."
Duncan observed Vanna's expression, and at the same time concentrated on sensing whether there were any abnormal aura fluctuations or extraordinary phenomena around her.
Because he was curious whether mentioning the name "Queen Leviathan" in the real world would trigger any phenomena.
But half a minute passed and nothing happened.
"Okay, forget about this question for now," Duncan shook his head, then looked at Morris, "LH-02, have you heard of this?"
"No," Morris didn't know why, but he noticed the seriousness in Duncan's expression, and he recalled it quite seriously before shaking his head, "Does this sound like the code name of some kind of machine?"
The reactions of the two "saints" did not seem to be fake.
They really have never heard of these two titles.
But this still cannot rule out the possibility that these two titles correspond to "Gmorna, the goddess of storm" and "Lachem, the god of wisdom" respectively.
After all, there are popes above the saints, and above the city-state cathedrals there are several "cruising church arks" that cruise on the boundless sea for a long time - the secrets closest to the gods are kept in places far away from the world.
"Forget these two names for now." After confirming for a long time that nothing happened in the cabin, Duncan exhaled and shook his head and said, "Don't mention it to anyone, especially after leaving the confines of the Lost Home, don't mention it to anyone.
