Hearing someone behind him like this, Mutt jumped up as if frightened, turned around and assumed a fighting posture. But then he also heard what the other person said, and asked in even more surprise: "What did you just say? Do you know Albert?"
?"
Mutt asked this, and the other party was also surprised. The man looked Mutt up and down, looking at the cat boy wearing unfitting baggy clothes, and then recognized the cat from the cry coming from inside the metal helmet.
The young man's muffled voice.
The other party immediately changed his words: "You are not Uncle Albert. Are you Uncle Mutt?"
"How do you know our names?!" Mutt was even more surprised.
"This is different from what was recorded in history. The person here is not Uncle Albert, but Uncle Mutt," the other party muttered to himself, looking quite confused.
"I'm asking you a question! Do you know us?!" the cat boy continued to shout, his attitude becoming rude due to excessive surprise and confusion. Only then did he see the other person clearly through the dim light emanating from the crystal lotus.
It was a young human being, and he went deep into the [Ashes Storm] alone, without even wearing protective clothing.
So the questions in Mutt's mind doubled again. The human young man was obviously older than Mutt, but he called Mutt "uncle", as if he had known Mutt a long time ago? However, Mutt didn't know this person at all.
People?
And why is this person able to move inside [Ashes Storm] without wearing protective clothing? Is the air in this ship "clean" without the raging ash that corrodes everything?
Due to too many questions, the cat boy was a little out of breath. The protective suit itself was extremely hot, and he had long been soaked to the skin, and the sweat had turned his hair into a sticky mess.
Seeing that the other party was fine without protective clothing, Mutt thought that the inside of the ship was really a safe zone, so he subconsciously wanted to take off his helmet and at least take a breath of fresh air!
"No!" The other party yelled to stop Mutt: "Don't take off your helmet, Uncle Mutt! The air is full of [ash-eating] that corrodes organic matter. If you take off your helmet, you will be dead within ten minutes."
Die!"
Then the cat boy's hand froze, and he almost opened the sealing seam of the helmet.
"Then how did you survive?" he asked.
"I have been injected with the [Partial Phage Factor] that resists [Ashe-Eating], so [Ashe-Eating] will not affect me for the time being." The human young man replied: "But without the protection of [Ash-Eating Factor], you will die."
Yes, so please, don’t take off your helmet!”
The other party answered sincerely and had no intention of deceiving Mutter. After all, Mutter had worked in a hotel for many years and had read countless people. Even if he couldn't see through at a glance whether the other party was lying, he could at least judge what the other party was saying.
How much sincerity was there? In short, it was always right to be careful, so he gave up the idea of taking off his helmet.
"Can you clarify?" the cat boy asked: "Who are you? Why do you appear here and why do you call me [Uncle Mutt]? I don't know you at all?"
"The situation in front of you is so special. I know I can't convince you with ordinary words." The other party let out a long sigh, showing a look of "I don't know where to start": "Then I will tell you straight to the point. I
It’s from the future. You can call me Haha Sawi.”
That was of course a pseudonym. The other party seemed to have no intention of giving his real name.
"Time Traveler, do you think I will believe this?" Mutt said angrily.
"You like Uncle Albert. This has not changed even after many years." The other party said coldly: "You even kissed him secretly before when he was sleeping."
"Waaah, wait a minute! Don't come out, damn it!" the cat boy interrupted with a red face and yelled.
"So, you believe it?" the other party asked.
"I believe you are a damn pervert who used some method to peek into my private life." Mutt said, still blushing and unconvinced.
"I can tell you more if you want to hear it, such as the indescribable things you did with Uncle Albert's clone, which even his true self doesn't know about."
"Okay, I surrender." After hearing this, Mutt surrendered decisively: "You are indeed a time traveler. Who told you these things?"
"It's you in the future." The young man who called himself Hathaway replied: "After getting drunk, he smiled and told the embarrassing things about his youth with a nonchalant expression. Uncle Mut's wine quality is really bad."
"I will pay attention to it in the future." The cat boy's face had become extremely pale.
"So, Mr. Hathaway from the future," Mutt asked, "can you explain what happened here? What are you doing here?"
"I came here because of the [Singularity]." The other party replied: "Originally, the [Singularity] that we could interfere with has been used up, but something I did recently caused a subtle change in the fate of this world.
, a new [Singularity] appeared here, so I came over to check the situation."
"So this is really a [singularity]?" the cat boy hummed.
"No, my [Singularity] refers to the [Singularity of Space and Time], which are two different concepts from the [Special Photon Reaction Source] that the World of Warcraft Hunters refer to." The other party corrected him: "But if we dig deeper, we may not be sure about them.
It’s indeed the same thing. It’s just because the observers’ viewing angles are different that there will be differences in understanding.”
"Human words." The cat boy said with a long face.
"I'll just do the heavy lifting," Hathaway continued: "Historically, it was Uncle Albert who calmed down the riot, but it was Uncle Mutt who actually came here. This is no accident, probably from a very early age.
The beginning is inevitable. Destiny has led you here so that you can complete this matter with your own hands. You must seal the seal that is about to be unlocked again."
"seal?"
"You should have noticed the [crystal coffin] behind you." Hathaway replied: "Please don't ask me who the person in the coffin is. It's really hard to explain. I can only tell you that the person in the coffin is
[Holy Remains] are still active today, and it is it that is constantly producing [ash-eating]."
Mutt frowned: "So what exactly is this [ash-eater]?"
"[Moonlight Disc]. A collection of nanoscale micro-golems." Hathaway replied: "They were originally controllable and had no environmental hazards under controllable conditions. But the man in the coffin has already
was gone, so the [Moonlight Butterfly] lost control and began to turn into an [Ashe-Eater] that attacked all organic matter around it indiscriminately. Whether it was this [Crystal Coffin] or this ship, they were originally intended to control the [Ashe-Eater].
Measures to avoid further leakage.
However, the seal of [Crystal Coffin] became weaker and weaker as time went by, and eventually became what it is now, with [Ash Eater] gradually leaking out.
In the end, we can only rely on the barrier deployed by the ship to restrict the scope of activity of [Ash Eater], so that the terrible thing cannot spread further."
Mutt finally understood. The so-called [Ashe-Destroying Storm] is actually a collection of [Ashe-eating] bound by the ship's enchantment. This ship uses a special enchantment to prevent the [Ashe-eating] from spreading, [Ashe-eating]
It can only keep spinning like a storm within the boundary, destroying all organic matter nearby. This is simply a man-made environmental disaster.
"But why is the boat moving towards the Lviv Central Basilica?"
"No one knows. The navigation system of this ship has failed a long time ago. Most of its power is used to maintain the [Boundary], and it is almost not actively sailing except [floating]." The other party replied.
Mutt paused.
"So there is no way to make it change its course? If it continues to move forward like this, it would be very bad if it hits the central temple?"
"Sorry." Hathaway shook his head: "There is no need to think about changing the route. Even if you want to do it, it is probably too late. Uncle Mutt should focus on re-sealing the holy remains. This may be able to restrain the scattered ones outside."
Eat the ashes], making environmental disasters less serious."
"Can the [ash-eating] outside be taken back?"
"Theoretically," Hathaway replied, "I'm just here to tell you how to do it, Uncle Mut."
Mutt tightened his grip on the crystal rapier in his hand. He had a very bad feeling.
"First, use the ability of the crystal stabbing sword to remove the [Crystal Coffin]. Doing so will release all the remaining [ash-eating] in the holy remains." Hathaway said: "Then please use the crystal stabbing sword to pierce the holy coffin."
The remains of the chest."
"You must be kidding me!" Mutt already vaguely knew whose remains the holy remains were, and he couldn't help but feel extremely disgusted when the other party acted like this.
"I know you will find it difficult to accept, but this is the only way." The human young man sighed: "You must take actions that harm the holy remains, so that the [Ash Eaters] will gather on their own and try to protect the holy remains.
In fact, the Holy Relic has the ability to self-repair. Even if it penetrates its chest, it will not be damaged. All it has to do is attract all the [Ash Eaters]."
Mutt's whole body was trembling: "What then?"
"When all the [Ash Eaters] pour into the body of the Holy Remains and try to repair it, just use the crystallization ability to seal the Holy Remains again. Please let him sleep in the crystal coffin again, Uncle Mutt.
" Hathaway said in an extremely calm tone.
Mutt was completely unable to calm down. He knew clearly that [Ashes Storm] was still approaching the central temple and that time was running out, but he hesitated repeatedly whether to do so.
This is too cruel.
"Can you tell me? How did he die in the end?" the cat boy asked in a low voice. His voice became high-pitched and hoarse due to choking.
"Do you really want to know, Uncle Mutt?"
The cat boy fell silent.
"Everyone will die, and no one is an exception." Hathaway advised: "Moreover, he died like a true hero. I can confirm this."
"Forget it." Mutt picked up the sword and turned towards the crystal coffin.
