Xiling Empire

Chapter 1518 Approaching

Watching Lin and her Amazon female warrior-like Pope whispering and chatting there, I suddenly remembered something that seemed to have nothing to do with the current situation. After returning from the Hessian Wood Red Moon Gemini, we were in The imperial communication network saw a message sent publicly, the content of which was blessing to the silly big guy and the others.

That incident seemed quite inconspicuous, and to be honest, it had nothing to do with it now. If I had to say why I suddenly thought of it, it would be a bit confusing: first of all, when I saw Lin chatting with the Amazon female warrior, I thought of her other things. Believers, when I think of other believers, I think of Zoya. When I think of Zoya, I think of Gemini. When I think of Gemini, I think of that little incident not long ago. You see, my level of thinking is so extraordinary. Please put it in front of me. I can't tell what I will associate with a stone. This is probably an important reason why I and Qianqian are in sync: my association matches her creativity. Do you think there is any situation in the world that is more in sync with each other than the two of us?

At that time, Shandora and I discovered that strange message that spread across the entire network and didn’t think much about it. We just thought it was some boring broadcaster who accidentally chose the wrong channel and sent the blessing message that was supposed to be sent to the person concerned to the entire network. I sent it to the group, but now I suddenly thought of that incident again and saw Abyss Xiling in front of me. My heart moved: "By the way, Abyss Xiling, I have something to ask you."

"Say." Abyss Xiling said one word briefly.

"Gemini... is Redmoon and Hessenwood, do you know?" I looked into the other person's eyes. "It was originally a relatively desolate world on the edge of the Abyss. It was originally between the Empire and the Abyss. The buffer line came, and then...ahem, then the world collapsed and fell apart."

I suddenly remembered that the world of Redmoon and Hessenwood was smuggled back by me in the end, so I felt a little embarrassed in the end, but the expression on Abyss Xiling's face did not change at all. Just with that kind of confident smile: "Oh, I thought you were going to say something... In fact, it was a good thing you did in the first place, right? Stealing a universe from under my nose, a rare and generous act."

I almost choked on my drink and said, "Ahem... have you noticed?"

"Actually, I didn't realize it until you almost transported all the fragments back," Abyss Xiling looked at this side with a half-smile, "Originally I wouldn't pay attention to such an inconspicuous thing, but a few people who performed routine scans The outpost discovered something fishy: after the universe was torn apart, a large number of fragments were produced, but all the fragments floating to the abyss showed no signs of life, and the large fragments floating to the empire looked normal at first, and their drift was carefully calculated. After the process, I found that those things had traces of human guidance. These signs cannot be blurred by probability... But when I discovered it, it was already too late. Most of the fragments had already entered the empire area. By that time, rushing over to snatch them would definitely If it leads to a full-scale war, you know, in order to ensure that the great cause can continue smoothly, I don't want to cause too much trouble."

I was a little dazed. I never expected that the plan I had carefully planned and paid a huge price to accomplish would still have loopholes, and it was discovered by Abyss Xiling so quickly. But apart from the shock, I was a little lucky: Although I was discovered , but the whole plan was still successfully completed. Abyss Xiling only realized something was wrong when all the fragments were transferred. From this point of view, she still lost a hand: This is not easy. Do you know how difficult it is to let this scheming guy suffer.

"Did you really send that message?" I shook my head and refocused my attention on the original question, "I remember that the original text of the message was... 'Say hello to the stupid guy and his friends'. Yeah, that’s right, that’s it.”

I thought Abyss Xiling would have to show off even if she admitted it, but she nodded happily: "Yes, I sent it."

"It's really you!" I almost jumped up on the spot. "Do you know about Hessenwood Red Moon?"

Various thoughts were running through my mind. The first was how much this Abyss Xiling could know: the Twin Star World has always been the line of fire between the Empire Zone and the Abyss Zone. No one dared to fire the first shot in the stalemate between the two sides. . Naturally, no one dares to be the first to go to that material plane to establish an outpost or something like that, so the situation in that universe should be unknown to both parties. Before I lead a group of people there to carry out the mission, The Imperial Army didn't even know that there was life in that universe, let alone know that there was a twin star system called Redmoon and Hessenwood in that universe. But Abyss Xiling knew? !

According to the other party, during our mission in the Gemini world, her attention was always focused elsewhere. It was not until the Imperial Army secretly moved the world fragments away that she realized that the situation in that universe was wrong, and after that She definitely couldn't hack into the empire's information network, so she knew the silly story much earlier than that... before we set off to the twin worlds.

"I have been paying attention to that world for a hundred years," Abyss Xiling smiled, "It wasn't until you pushed the outpost to my border little by little that I gave up that place... After all, that universe has no special value. The border serves as a buffer line."

I immediately understood: it has only been five years since the establishment of the New Empire, but the Abyss Zone resumed its activities hundreds of years ago. Therefore, it is normal for Abyss Xiling to know about the Gemini World a hundred years ago, and we The establishment of border fortresses around the twin worlds was only two or three years ago... No wonder she knew the story of Silly Big Man and others.

"Do you still have this peeping hobby?" I looked at Abyss Xiling with a strange expression, "The ruler of the Abyss, spying on a group of natives who are fighting to death on their own planet? And you haven't taken action to destroy them yet... …”

"Why take action?" Abyss Xiling was even more surprised than me. "Their world is useless to the 'Great Cause', and the mortal civilization in that universe is not a threat. It would be a waste of time to eliminate them."

Me: "...Okay, I forgot about your 'principles'. So you knew the story of the silly big gang from the beginning, and you have been observing it for hundreds of years, and you didn't change your focus until two or three years ago... Why do I feel so weird?"

As I spoke, I didn’t know how to describe my feelings, because what Abyss Xiling did once again exceeded my impression of her: as the ruler of the Abyss Zone, a person who burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil in other places The leader of the bully (at least in the eyes of many ordinary races) did not harm a handful of mortals and plants close to her. She did not send troops to occupy that universe, and did not even touch any flower or leaf there (of course No help was given). She was just peeping calmly, and she was peeping for hundreds of years at a time. This feeling... is indescribable. If you have to find a similar example, then think about the scene when you see Satan lying on the ground playing with a child.

What's even more unbelievable is that this eccentric guy actually sent a message like that after discovering that the Gemini world was deliberately stolen... She didn't get angry, but sent a message to the silly guy and others. A message that is half condolences and half farewell!

"Is this weird?" Abyss Xiling looked at me with a smile, "Do you think I should send troops to burn down all the worlds I discovered, leaving no survivors anywhere? Or do you not believe that I will let a small child go?" To capture the civilization of mortals?"

I didn't say anything, but my expression was definitely the default.

Abyss Xiling supported his chin with his hand: "I said it. I have only one goal, and that is the 'Great Cause'. Actions such as destroying the world and extracting the heart of the world are all for this goal. Other things I'm not interested. Do you think I like war? No, on the contrary: every foreign war consumes a lot of my computing power, which could have been used to deduce the 'bridge building' plan faster, so I am very I hate going to war with anyone. It would be great if they didn't resist... Oh, let's not talk about it. Anyway, just change your view of me a little. I am rational, not a madman who kills for the sake of killing. "

"Um..." I was a little embarrassed, because I always accidentally forget the "rational" side of Abyss Xiling. She even forgot her strict logical way of thinking, mainly because her way of thinking is so different from normal people, "Okay, I know you are rational. But why are you observing the Gemini world? You are not right Aren’t you interested in other things?”

"I just want to see how far they can go." Abyss Xiling's eyes turned here, but the focus of his sight didn't seem to be anywhere, "I became interested when I discovered the twin galaxies a hundred years ago. : It was a place that theoretically should have been destroyed by the abyss a long time ago. Its level of civilization was far from reaching a level that could compete with the abyss, but it miraculously survived. Although the situation became worse year by year, it never I never really fell down completely. Originally, I should have passed this inconspicuous thing at a glance, but the probability of its survival was so small that it was even impossible to calculate... So I became interested in it. I started Observing that twin star system, I even sent some agents to study the history of that civilization, and then I was surprised to find that it was not only fighting against the abyss, but had been struggling for more than two thousand years... This is a completely uncalculated situation. I simulated it I have learned all the parameters of this civilization, and no matter how much deduction is made, no matter how precisely the combat power is deployed, I can't do the same thing. So I am very curious, want to know how they do it, and want to see how long they can last. Over the past hundred years, the stupid guy and his friends have become my focus of observation: they are obviously the key to that civilization's persistence, but these people are also a group of mortals with many flaws, and even The willpower is not perfect, how can this not make people curious? And observing them is not only my personal interest, but also a study of the abyss and the evolution of civilization. You know that the fallen apostles will also be eroded by the abyss, so any Something that can withstand the abyss will be useful to us too."

"So what are your observations?" I asked curiously with a smile.

"The result is that if you don't show up, I will get the results soon," Abyss Xiling's voice was a little resentful, "You are developing so fast, and you will push the border in front of me in the blink of an eye, so I have to Don’t give up on that place temporarily. In the final analysis, it is just a rather inconspicuous observation point. There are many more valuable things than it, so I’ll give it to you.”

"Just because you measure everything so accurately, you'll never figure out how Red Moon and Heisenwood survived," I shook my head, "but I'm still curious about how you sent that message. To the empire network...Theoretically, the network in the abyss zone is completely isolated from the empire network. No matter how skilled you are, you can't invade in. Is there a loophole in our network?"

This question must be asked clearly. As soon as I found out that it was Abyss Xiling who sent the message that day, I felt a little uneasy: Although we are now in a cooperative relationship with the other party, in the final analysis, the Empire and the Abyss Zone are still in opposition. Abyss Xiling actually has the ability to broadcast things in the Empire Information Network? If there is a loophole in this, then so be it!

Of course Abyss Xiling knew what I was thinking. She shook her head: "Don't think too much. It would be great if I could invade your network. Why do I have to go through so many troubles to ask for help? That broadcast was just a scheduled transmission. , the content of the message is actually that the impact of the end of the world, which was sent out not long after you blew up the universe, was enough to cause considerable interference to your border outposts, and it would not take much effort to take advantage of this interference to shout a word to you."

At this time, Bellavela finally brought Abyss Xiling’s snacks over. I poked my head over and took a look. I was very pleased to find that there were no screws, wrenches or anything like that on the plate. It seemed that Bellavilla was very interested in Abyss Xiling. The dissatisfaction is not serious enough to make her abandon her moral integrity: if she had the same personality as Lilina, I wouldn't be surprised by what appears on this plate.

Abyss Xiling looked at the food in front of him curiously, carefully pinched a piece of shortbread biscuit and put it into his mouth to chew. I quickly asked next to him: "How does it taste?"

Abyss Xiling's mouth was bulging. But this did not affect her speech at all: "What smell? I don't have this function."

I:"……"

This guy didn't even install the taste library! How much does she save her calculation power...

"Then where should I put the things in my mouth?" Abyss Xiling saw that I didn't speak, and then asked, "What's the point of eating other things? Chewing them to pieces won't provide me with energy. .”

"Throw it to another dimension!" Bellavilla angrily pulled Abyss Xiling's snack plate in front of me, "Give it to you, I knew it was a complete waste to give her this thing. You don't understand this boring guy, I understand it thoroughly."

"I don't understand," Abyss Xiling threw the thing in his mouth into an unknown subspace, then wiped the cookie crumbs from the corner of his mouth and said solemnly. "This is meaningless in the first place. I have returned to the institute and have already said hello to Bella Vera. I should go back to work. Tavel is still waiting for me."

After saying these words, she stood up and pushed her suitcase towards the door. I didn’t give anyone any time to answer. By the time I came to my senses, this guy and her suitcase had already walked out of the store.

"Look, boring guy." Bella Vera raised a finger and pointed in the direction where Abyss Xiling left, "You don't have to work hard to make her like the others in Shadow City, because her world view is unprecedentedly strong. To make her It’s more difficult for this guy to adapt to the atmosphere around you than it is for Pandora to face up to her height problem..."

"Bang Kerala..." Another strange sound in the corner interrupted Bellavilla's words. This time it was the clumsy raven who killed the freezer: the girl might want to use the ice cone technique to get some cold drinks for Lilina. Now, later It has been frozen in the freezer.

"Well, it's even more difficult than asking these idiots to learn how to use home appliances," Bellavilla waved his hand, "They're so stupid that they can't even use such primitive equipment. Even I can learn it."

I looked at Bellavilla in astonishment: As the majestic King of Ravens, is it something to be proud of knowing how to use a refrigerator and an oven?

"Chen, are you free?" Uncle Kenser walked over from the side at this time, "Come here and tell you something."

I saw the serious expression on his face and knew something was going on, so I stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Kense led me to his table. Lin moved aside to make a seat. I pulled a chair from the table next to me and sat down. At the same time, the two popes across the table also politely stood up. Say hello, but I quickly stopped them: Not to mention the lumbar discs of the white-bearded uncle, the chariot ax carried on the back of the Amazon female warrior looked really eye-catching, because there was no shelf for weapons next to the counter, so she kept carrying it. With an axe, I am now afraid that this Mengyu sister will get up and poke the ceiling of her shop...

Despite the efforts of the two Ravens, who are not successful enough but have troubles, and Lilina, who is making trouble everywhere, it is almost time for this small shop to be renovated...

"This is a document sent by the Pantheon a while ago," Uncle Kenser took out a few scrolls from his pocket. "There are also my own observation records and the records compiled by the children. The last one is what the Pantheon sent just now. Notification coming..."

I quickly waved my hand: "Don't ask me, just say it. I'm still confused after looking at the imperial case files."

Uncle Kense seemed to have just remembered that he and I were not from the same system (people who have lived in the capital of the empire for a long time seem to be like this, and it is easy to forget where they are from), and put away the scrolls with an embarrassed smile: " In short, according to the Pantheon’s instructions and observation results, the collective failure of the world management system in the past few days is indeed not a routine event. Although it cannot be explained theoretically, it is probably related to the void cataclysm.”

Me: "...what?"

"The Cataclysm of the Void," Uncle Kenser repeated with a serious expression, "This is the conclusion of the Pantheon, which was announced just a few minutes ago. I also compared the observation records compiled by the children with the information issued by the Pantheon. After checking it, it’s indeed correct…”
