Chapter 565: Lilina by the Santu River and the Mercury Lamp on the Hospital Bed

The current intelligence chief of the Imperial Corps is Lin Xue. This is a matter of course. It would be a huge waste of talent to leave such a master with eyes peeping into the world to make up for the harm to the people. Anyway, I won’t let her take care of it. This girl will look around when she has nothing to do, so in order to prevent the extremely bored Lin Xue from causing trouble for herself, I made her the director of the Intelligence Bureau. In addition, since she will give us free weather forecasts when she is bored, she also serves as the director of the intelligence bureau. He is the director of the Meteorological Bureau. Of course, the second position is just for nonsense.

Now our Intelligence Bureau director has finally played some role in his position and brought me some good news: I don't know if it's good news: the fake lolita who is naturally dark to the core has been found.

This also means that the space-time system that was once in great chaos has completely calmed down, and the ultra-long-distance fuzzy world transmission that was once stopped can now be restarted.

When I came to Shadow City, I could clearly see that there had been some kind of change here. The most obvious thing was that the crown of the World Tree covering most of the sky was emitting an extremely dim colored halo, some kind of huge message. Torrent is leaving the world at high speed on a secret communication frequency. Dingdang told me that it is the world management terminal that is sending summary data of this event to its superior node. After all, it is a plane shock that affects thousands of worlds. Even if In the eyes of the Protoss, it was also a huge event. When the incident was over, Dingdang, as the person involved and the person in charge, naturally needed to write a report. Although we have not been able to study the cause of this time and space chaos accident, it must be those powerful people. If the Gods can find out the truth, I am afraid that after this incident, this extremely remote world in the void will be firmly remembered by the gods.

Dingdang, who has experienced this major incident, will probably become famous soon. The idiot goddess at the end of the Ten Thousand Years Crane successfully turned the tide and maintained the order of this universe even when illegal immigrants were smuggling and living in many places in the void. Harmony, and restored local security in just over a month, this will definitely allow Xiaodong to keep her year-end bonus, and then Dingdang will have the opportunity to replace his world management terminal with a genuine operating system - now Xiaodian can Waiting for her superiors to give her further instructions, she confidently announced that there would probably be an increase in benefits, and the little thing was looking forward to it.

It is said that normally it takes more than half a month for such a big incident to have preliminary investigation results. However, with the report provided by Dingdang, this time may have to be extended to another month. And if the little guy performs exceptionally well when writing the report, I'm afraid those gods will still be confused in two or three months. I can't understand what Father God intends to do by sending such a god here. But one thing is for sure, he definitely has no intention of making the world a better place. Good original intention - even if such a god throws it out as a world-destroying artifact, it is too powerful.

But it just so happened that Dingdang's boss would not assign further work instructions for more than two months, so Dingdang had time to follow us to pick up a lost priestess.

The Dimension Hub Square is still crowded with people. The Imperial Transportation Department is experiencing its first golden tourism week since its establishment. The peak period for return travelers may not subside until three days later. I paid special attention when passing by the square. , and found that since Cicaro was imprisoned, there has been a lot of order here - mainly because there are fewer people buying and selling train tickets. The leaderless Cicaro piracy gang was brutally exterminated by the imperial city management after its leader went to jail. , although they are all comrades on the battlefield, the latter does not give the former any face in normal times. What is more worrying is that although the number of pirates and ticket sellers has dropped sharply, those selling tea eggs and pancakes in the square However, the number of them increased sharply, and there was almost an overflow of small traders mixed with tauren and goblins. When I asked, I found out that it was the collapse of the Cicaro Group that made the time travelers focus more attention on these real businesses. In fact, at the stall, Mr. Lin called this the economic form under the cross-industry state. Anyway, after I passed by the square, I almost became a mobile monument. How far can the Space-Time Management Bureau go and what will it become in the end? I can't imagine it at all.

It wasn't until we entered the Space-Time Management Center that we forgot about the Tangfeng Bus Station outside...

"This is the world we are targeting," Tavel, who has been staying in the management center, certainly doesn't know what a filthy place the nearby dimensional hub has become, or even if he knows, this woman who is obsessed with work The researcher was not interested in caring. She immediately got into work mode when she saw the leaders coming in a hurry. She showed us a universe model in the "Beacon Hall" of the management center. "The results of the fuzzy scan are not very accurate, but There is still a lot of information. It is initially judged that it is a place similar to this universe, but with a very weird overall structure and some physical constants. Moreover, its scale is much smaller than this universe, and its formation time is also very short - this is it Several feature codes.”

I grabbed Dingdang and swung it over the projector's signature twice like a code scanner, and said, "Little thing, is it produced by your God Realm?"

Dingdang struggled to identify it for a long time, and suddenly took out a big book from his pocket: "Ajun, wait a minute, I'll look for it."

I bet you have to translate it now. I mean, your God Realm products don’t say “Made in Heaven” on them?

Lord God, who has failed to achieve anything but failed, spent a long time flipping through the big book with an unknown name but it was probably very deceptive, and finally came to the conclusion: "We did not create it! The book said that the world produced by the gods will add at the end of the basic laws Made in heaven footmark to protect copyright. This world should be generated naturally, and there is no administrator login window. It seems that no one is managing this world."

I admit that I am confused at this moment. Could it be that in addition to my piercing eyes, I am also a hidden prophet? Isn’t this the same attribute as Lin Banxian’s?

"It seems that this is not your territory." I was relieved at this moment. Lilina, a dangerous species, led her smashing, looting and burning group to cause trouble in the other world. What I was most afraid of was that she would cause trouble in the territory of the gods. After all, it’s an alliance. You let a crazy girl go over and ruin someone’s reputation. It’s unjustifiable. I’m not a hooligan like Bingtis...

"How long does it take for us to prepare the army?" I asked while holding down the little bubble that had slipped into the beacon hall at some point and started running around.

Sandora replied: "The main force of the empire has returned from all over the universe, but the space transportation pressure of the time and space management center is too high now. We have to wait for the peak period of time travelers to pass, but it will only take two or three days. Lilina is here That world is clearly involved in a war, and we need to be prepared for all-out war."

"You have to prepare. I need to bring some changes of clothes." My sister nodded.

Qianqian hugged my arm and hummed: "Ajun, how about I come over this time too?"

Lin Xue waved her hand at me: "I'm too lazy to move. I'm not interested in fighting, but I'm bringing back some souvenirs. I'm quite interested in the machines in that world. I want to dismantle two of them to play with."

Finally, his eyes fell on the Pandora sisters. There was no need to guess at all. Visca was so happy that he almost twitched away. Pandora was grinding her eight-foot-long snake spear... ahem, checking the artillery.

We originally planned to save the people of other worlds from the fire and water, but now we see if they can survive for a few more days if we don't get there.

"Hey," Mercury Lantern, who had been watching the show silently on my shoulder, suddenly knocked on my head with a confused tone, "Why don't you sound like you are going to war?"

I quickly explained to her: "Actually, this time it's serious."

Usually, my sister, not to mention changing clothes, brings a mobile kitchen with her every time she goes on an expedition.

"Huh - I'm used to you guys anyway," Mercury Lamp still kept her lazy look lying on my shoulder, her calf swaying back and forth from time to time. She was not interested in these things at all. ,"Wow!"

The guy was shaking so hard that he almost fell off.

"Tell you to hold on tight." I straightened the mercury lamp, but as soon as I let go, the other party started to slide down again - I realized something was wrong.

"Mercury lamp? What's wrong with you?"

"I...I don't know!" The fearless doll was actually trembling slightly as she spoke. She couldn't sit upright now and could only hold my head to keep it from sliding down. "Suddenly she has no strength! "

I took the mercury lamp down and wanted to hold it like a princess, but found that the size was wrong, so I changed it to a child's hold (upright!). Due to the doll's physique, the other person's face still couldn't see any change, but I found Mercury Lamp's eyes are already a little wandering, and it's as if he doesn't have enough sleep. His usually big eyes can hardly be opened now. The doll girl who was always so powerful is now nestled in his arms like a helpless little animal, so light I can't even feel the weight.

"I'm a little...sleepy..."

Mercury Lamp said a few words in a daze, and the ball joints all over his body immediately made creaking sounds, as if they had not been oiled all year round.

"Medical soldier!" I greeted loudly immediately. Then I thought something was wrong, so I quickly changed my words, "Maintenance soldier... that's not right, and logistics soldier is even more wrong... Is there anyone with a background in materials science?"

"Please stop causing trouble," Lin Xue rolled her eyes at me unceremoniously, and a white light flashed in Miss Prophet's eyes, "Send it to the Temple of the World Tree first. No life will perish there."

We were in a hurry, thinking that when the Koprulu sector almost exploded with a black sun, we, the world-destroying artifact, were not in a hurry, but now the mercury lamp cooled down and we collectively panicked. Fortunately, Lin Xue saw something and she was in time. The reminder gave the mercury lamp valuable rescue time.

The Temple of the World Tree is called the Temple but is actually an independent space inside the World Tree. Passing through the dense branches and entering the roots of the tree crown, there is a portal that is always open under the power of Ding Dong. The portal Behind it is an alien space with no visible edges, and the temple complex of the Goddess of Life is the only building in this alien space. I have always thought that a three-inch-tall kid living in such a big house is the biggest waste in history. How expensive are housing prices now? Ah, if you find a flowerpot to plant something like Dingdang, it is economical and environmentally friendly. Why don't you build a temple complex similar to Afang Palace to show off how well your Gods control the property market?

My resentment is not unreasonable. Until three years ago, my sister and I’s biggest wish was to have three bedrooms and one living room, but Qian Qian still hasn’t given up on her wish of three bedrooms and one living room...

Passing through the long corridor, there are also various rooms with weird names that are said to have enough symbolic meaning to change the structure of the entire world. We directly placed the mercury lamp in the "Throne of Kings" of the temple, where the goddess works. It is really difficult to find a place to stay among the candies, toys, junk and weird experimental supplies. The cowhide "throne of kings" is the same as the scene under the little bubble bed. We have to put those things that may be priceless. Throw them all into a different space to make room for the mercury lamp to lie down. And beside the little doll girl, there are people from medical scientists to mechanical scientists to materials scientists to electronic engineers to... Anyway, I can think of all the disciplines. They found a leader one by one. These are the best Xiling technicians. The little bit of knowledge in any one's mind is enough for human society to break out of the galaxy and go into the universe. Their current task is to restore the mercury lamp.

I admit that very few of the above-mentioned experts and scholars have anything to do with "treating diseases," but...

Who the hell knows how to treat a doll when it's sick? The mercury lamp doesn't even have various organs. You said she can't lift her arms. Should I find an orthopedic doctor, a mechanical scholar, or a materials expert?

A group of white-robed researchers standing at the apex of knowledge formed a ring within a ring with the platform as the center, surrounding the mercury lamp in the middle as if they were paying homage to a corpse - what kind of metaphor is this?

The little puppet has almost completely lost its ability to move, and its body is as stiff as an ordinary puppet. Except for the fact that its eyes can blink slightly and speak, the mercury lamp is no different from a sculpture.

I once thought of the young berry in the original plot of "Rose Maiden". The doll girl also produced the mercury lamp after losing the Rose Maiden, the artificial soul of Rose Maiden (guessed it may be a fragment of the Philosopher's Stone). The current situation is similar, gradually becoming rigid, losing the ability to move, and eventually turning into an ordinary puppet. However, the mercury lamp is now deteriorating significantly faster than the other party, and through experiments, we have also ruled out the conjecture that its Madonna of the Rose is damaged: The Madonna of the Rose is at best It is a fragment of the Philosopher's Stone. Although that thing is a miracle to ordinary people, it is nothing in the Temple of Life. The stone slabs used to pave the floor of the "Throne of Kings" all have more power than the Philosopher's Stone. Stone has a higher degree of mystery, but none of the things in the temple that can serve as artificial souls can restore the mercury lamp. Even Dingdang can't see what's wrong with the latter!

The soul is intact and the body is normal (excluding the missing part of her abdomen, of course...), but the mercury lamp is constantly weakening.

It's not that Ding Dong's power can't even treat such a tiny doll girl, but until the exact cause is found, any treatment will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, just like letting caster stand on the roof if a house leaks. Holding up a magic shield is useful, but in the final analysis, you still need two people to repair the roof. I can't tie Ding Dong to the neck of the mercury lamp as a fixed battery...

I wonder if Kuzuki Soichiro can repair houses...

"How's it going? Who can tell what's going on?"

A group of experts and scholars consulted for an hour. With the support of the Temple of Life, although the mercury lamp did not continue to deteriorate, it did not improve at all. I couldn't help but feel a little crazy.

"Your Majesty, theoretically speaking, there is no difference between this little girl's current physical condition and her body in a healthy state..."

The person who answered me was the attending physician So-and-so. What he meant in layman’s terms was: all the patient’s vital signs were good, but she was dying.

"You are all the best researchers and engineers in the empire, and now you can't even repair a doll made in the Middle Ages?!" I was about to get mad on the spot, and all the experts and scholars immediately lowered their heads in shame, but I I also know that this situation is not the area of ​​expertise of these researchers. If you ask a group of people who are engaged in battleship dynamics to analyze why the doll cannot move, this is just trying to catch up. "Ravens, what can you see? "

"The soul is intact and the mental strength is sufficient," Raven 001 said with a puzzled expression, "It stands to reason that he should be more alive than anyone else."

My eyes fell on Dingdang again, who was jumping up and down on the mercury lamp. He noticed my gaze and immediately replied: "Dingdang can restore the activity of the mercury lamp, but if we can't find the reason why she lost her power, once she loses Dingdang, With the supply of divine power, she will still become like this."

Okay, a group of the top experts and scholars in the multiverse, masters of magic, and even a goddess of life can't even repair a doll now. Word spread... But there's nothing you can do about it. Theoretically speaking, the mercury lamps are now different. All the indicators were normal, and no matter how good the experts or scholars were, they couldn't start. Hua Tuo couldn't cure a healthy person even when he was alive - but compared to Dingdang, Hua Tuo was weak.

"Mercury lamp, how do you feel now?"

I lay next to the mercury lamp and said, "Her physical condition deteriorated at an alarming rate at that time. When she was sent to the temple, most of her hearing had weakened."

"So sleepy... my body... can't feel... my body..."

Mercury Lamp's mental state was very bad. She only muttered a few words in reply and then fell into confusion again. However, she still subconsciously moved her arms to try to grab my arm - of course, this action failed.

"It's okay, relax. The most powerful guys in the universe are gathered here, and they will be able to fix yours soon..."

It always felt like the sentence of comfort just now was mixed with a very suspicious verb at the end.

I gently brushed the hair off the forehead of the mercury lamp and discovered a terrible situation: the originally soft and elastic skin of the little doll was now a bit stiff, and the feel... was approaching lifeless paint.

"Ajun." My sister's voice suddenly sounded behind me. I looked back and saw that she had something to say.

"What's wrong, sister?" I asked in confusion, slightly away from where the mercury lamp lay.

"Ajun," my sister glanced worriedly in the direction of the mercury lamp, "do you still remember how the child started to move?"
