Chapter 1382 Alien Space

At the end of the stairs leading to the upper floor of the observatory, the door stood silently in front of Gao Wen and others. On the door cast by some unknown alloy, the previous coating had been mottled and peeled off. This inevitable sign of aging seemed to be Silently telling the witnesses the vicissitudes of the past seven centuries.

"As long as you touch the gate, an authentication system will be activated," Philip said next to him. "If the authentication fails, there will be no warning or security devices, but the gate will remain locked. We haven't found out where its energy comes from." Yes, probably the entire system is on the other side of the gate, and we didn't continue to stimulate this thing just to be prudent."

Diana stood in front of the gate, staring at the mottled door in front of her with some ecstasy, then she frowned slightly: "I... do remember this door. The director and the Grand Master usually don't allow ordinary guards to Enter the observatory, but I have additional analysis functions, so sometimes I will help organize the data here..."

"Do you still remember how to open this door?" Amber glanced at Diana, as if she felt that the ancient machine girl with the memory fragment was a bit unreliable, and couldn't help but mutter, "If you don't know how to do it, then I can Think of a way..."

"I just remember that the human staff of the observatory need to use a card to open this door, and authorized guards like me only need..." Diana muttered softly as if talking to herself, and followed the Following some kind of inner guidance, he stretched out his hand to press the middle of the door, and in the next second, everyone present heard a slight "sizzling" sound from both sides of the door, followed by a stream of light on the door panel It flowed and quickly converged into a green mark, and a voice with a severely altered tone and a hissing noise came from nowhere: "Dip——Employee card, the certification is passed.

"No. EX-800, Senior Guard Diana, you have been away from duty for 270,365 days without reason, and you have incurred an absence penalty of 26 million,076 francs. Your leave has been cancelled. Calendar 3018, if you have any questions, please consult your position supervisor..."

This series of broadcasts was not only severely disturbed intermittently, but also used the ancient Gondor language 700 years ago. The pronunciation of many words is quite different from today's. What does this door say? Why did the expression on Diana's face suddenly go wrong... Could she have such a rich expression?!"

"...Don't worry about it, it's just an error caused by an ancient system that has been running automatically for many years." Gao Wen's mouth trembled a few times, and he managed to maintain a calm expression on his face. Then he turned his head and glanced at Diana, "Ma'am, you well enough?"

"I didn't expect..." Diana suddenly felt a surge of heat, and there seemed to be a buzzing sound coming from her body, "After seven hundred years, it still sounds so scary..."

"Ahem, don't take it to heart, anyway, you don't have to make up for those hundreds of years of absence," Gao Wen coughed dryly, and then noticed that there seemed to be a gap on the edge of the door,

"Anyway, the door appears to be open..."

After his voice fell, Diana had already adjusted the state of her mental core, and stretched out her hand to push forward lightly——the door, which was cast from an unknown alloy and was extremely strong, was easily pushed open by her, accompanied by metal There was an ear-piercing sound of rubbing, and a dark space opposite the door, as if filled with chaotic mist, appeared before everyone on the platform.

Gawain glanced at the drowsy space with his probe, only to feel that even with the eyesight of an extraordinary person, he could not clearly see the state inside, and there was always a faint layer of smoke blocking his vision, which was obviously abnormal. The scene made him instantly vigilant: "The opposite is the 'Star Observatory'? I think something is wrong...Philip, throw something in."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Philip nodded immediately, and then took a portable magic net terminal from the soldier beside him, carefully placed it at the door, and pushed it into the door with the scabbard of the officer's sword. On the other side——under the eyes of everyone, the magic net terminal that was turned on and emitted a faint blue light passed through the gate, and then disappeared into the darkness as if dissolved by the darkness or passed through the curtain. The mist engulfed it, leaving no trace.

"This..." Philip frowned suddenly, then glanced at another magic net terminal set up on the platform next to him, and saw that a certain rune on the base of the device was glowing slightly, but the holographic projection above the terminal But there was only a disturbance ripple, "The magic net terminal sent there is still running and has not been damaged, but the screen cannot be transmitted back. It seems that there is strong interference, or... the distance is too far?"

While talking, he looked down at the scabbard of his officer's sword. When he used this thing to push the terminal into the other side of the gate just now, about a quarter of the length of the scabbard was also covered by the piece of scabbard. The darkness engulfed it, but he pulled the scabbard back without any hindrance. Now, after observing carefully for a long time, he confirmed that there was no trace of damage on the scabbard, and there was no trace of curse or magic erosion left.

"...There must be something strange on the other side of that door, as if there is a curtain blocking peeping, but things can be sent in without being damaged..." Gawain also noticed the condition of Philip's scabbard, and said thoughtfully , "Just a layer of shielding? Protective measures?"

Philip then tested it with another magic net terminal. He adjusted the small terminal to recording mode, then tied it to a long stick and sent it through the door. After a few minutes, he retracted the stick. The Magic Net terminal also returned to the side of the door intact, but when Gao Wen and the others hoped to play the screen recorded by the terminal, all they saw was a dazzling and beating spot of light—a typical manifestation of serious interference.

"It seems that the energy response we recorded outside the observatory was indeed leaked from here," Philip said with a serious expression, "There is an extremely high-intensity energy field behind the gate, and the magic net terminal cannot operate in it. The small-scale leakage of the energy field becomes the periodic signal observed by the explorers with equipment outside, but it seems that this energy field will not cause direct damage to the entity...it is only interfering with the operation of magic power."

"Did there be such a high-power energy source on the observatory back then?" Gawain immediately asked Diana next to him.

"No," Diana shook her head. "There are only various observation devices, recording devices and a large-scale magic filter set on the observatory. They are all low-power devices."

Gao Wen frowned, and was about to ask something more, when he suddenly heard Amber's voice from the side: "Come on, let me go and have a look."

When Gao Wen heard this, he looked back at the half-elf in surprise—when did this guy lose his cowardice? Didn't he just carry her forward and throw this Tanji to work when he encountered a similar situation before? So motivated this time?

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Amber immediately noticed Gao Wen's strange gaze, and immediately put her hands on her hips, "Didn't you bring me out to let me run ahead to scout the way? Is it possible that I still feel that my blood pressure has been low recently? Do you want to chat with me about treating hypotension?"

Hearing the other party's self-aware and shameless speech, Gao Wen immediately confirmed that the thing in front of him was still amber, and that he hadn't been ghosted by any unlucky guy from another world on the spot, but he couldn't help but muttered: "I I didn't expect you to be so self-conscious, it wasn't so easy for you to take the initiative to do something before..."

"Nonsense, it's better for me to take the initiative than to be thrown in by you later," Hu Po rolled her eyes, and then her figure gradually blurred in front of everyone's eyes, accompanied by a faint light and shadow that enveloped her whole body, She turned around and walked towards the door leading to the upper observatory, "I'll go ahead and explore the way..."

As soon as the voice fell, her figure had already disappeared from everyone's eyes. The curtain-like chaos and darkness engulfed her, which made Gao Wen feel a little uneasy—but at the same time, he had confidence in Amber, and felt that with the opponent's first-class running Road skills and the life creed of survival first, even if you encounter any danger, you will definitely be able to escape back immediately...

Just when the thoughts in his mind were halfway through, and it took only two or three seconds for Amber to pass through the curtain, everyone suddenly felt a blur in front of their eyes, and a flickering light and shadow came out of the door again, and then It was Amber who jumped from the light and shadow to the ground and her yelling: "Oh my god, the opposite side is amazing! Go over and have a look! I don't have enough vocabulary!"

The few people guarding the door couldn't help but glanced at each other, but before someone subconsciously took action, Philip took the lead, and at the same time put his hand on the saber, looking at Amber cautiously: "The seventh chapter of the Imperial Charter What is Chapter Seventeen?"

Amber was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes widened: "Ah? How can I recite this!"

When Philip heard this expression, he immediately relaxed a little, and Gao Wen immediately asked a question: "What do you usually call me? I mean when I'm out of my mouth."

Amber suddenly shrunk her neck and glanced at the saber in Philip's hand, muttering: "I said that word, he must have cut it with a sword..."

Only then did Gao Wen breathe a sigh of relief, and stretched out his hand to stroke the other party's hair: "The necessary process, please understand."

"I understand, I understand, this kind of weird place, the explorers who went and returned, who knows what happened, how many powerful adventurers have been wiped out here," Hu Po waved her hand quite generously, He also said that he has rich experience in related fields, "Let's talk about the opposite side, there is no danger over there, but it is... a very incredible place, definitely not in the normal space. You will know it by yourself."

Gawain raised his head and saw that Diana on the opposite side also nodded slightly, and then he stepped forward and led everyone through the weird door together.

At the moment when the darkness struck, he felt that he had passed through a slightly cool curtain, and at the same time, his skin felt itchy like an electric shock. Discontinuous time and space", and he is not unfamiliar with similar feelings - when he entered the still "Battlefield of the Gods" in the deepest part of the eternal storm, he also had this wonderful experience of entering a foreign time and space.

Then he took the second step, and the darkness faded away in an instant, and everyone's eyes suddenly brightened.

Gao Wen's eyes widened.

He saw an extremely wide circular platform, which looked like the upper floor of the observatory, but it was by no means a normal "upper floor"—the original walls around it and the hemispherical dome that should have existed above were destroyed by some unknown force. The power tore into pieces, countless huge wall and roof wreckage floated around the platform as if they had lost gravity, and circling in the air, and beyond those fragmented floating debris, there was a sky full of chaotic colors. A fuchsia background that seems to have been filtered through a filter covers the entire space, giving everything a distinct sense of "exoticism".

And directly above this "exotic" space, Gawain saw a starry sky that was clearer and more brilliant than anywhere else—the sky filled with purple and red colors seemed to have a gap there, like a curtain being torn. A hole was opened, and stars could be seen twinkling in the huge irregular crack.

It was a magnificent and wonderful starry sky, but in this obviously weird space, the only normal starry sky became the weirdest existence.

"This is..." Philip's voice came from behind, and he followed Gawain into the space. The strange scene in front of him made the eyes of the young imperial general widen, and his eyes first fell on those who had lost Gravity, on the huge building debris swirling like a vortex in the nearby sky, "Those are the debris of the upper structure of the observatory? But when you look outside..."

"When looking from the outside, the observatory is complete, and its upper floor can be seen at a glance," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, "but here, we see a torn observatory, and the entire observatory seems to have fallen into the sky." It's like distorting time and space..."

Amber swallowed nervously, looked up at Gao Wen: "You know a lot, what do you think is going on?"

"Perhaps... this is some kind of space-time mirror image, a 'replica' generated by the Viplandon Observatory in a distorted space-time node. In this chaotic space-time, the observatory has been destroyed, or it may be similar to the Shadow Realm. environment, the observatory in the real world produced a wrongly superimposed phantom here, or...someone took the initiative to create such an abnormal space," Gao Wen shook his head, "There are as many guesses as there are, but it's nothing Meaning, the key is that the only one of us who might have a clue - Ms. Diana, do you know this place? What do you think?"

Diana also walked through the door—the door is still standing where it should be, but there are no walls around the door, it stands alone in the air like a strange time and space portal, opposite the door Darkness.

Diana looked up at this abnormal place, and she couldn't help showing surprise on her face, and then said softly: "This...is indeed an observatory, and I still recognize its appearance, but why did it become... "

She was talking to herself in confusion, and unconsciously walked forward to the center of the platform, which was the center of the entire space, where a hazy radiance condensed there, as if protecting some secret to block everyone's sight, Gao Wen also saw the brilliance just now, but he didn't dare to rush forward. Seeing Diana walking forward, he couldn't help but say, "Be careful, Ms. Diana..."

Gao Wen didn't finish his sentence.

Because a sound of energy buzzing suddenly resounded in the air, a hazy radiance suddenly gathered in front of Diana, which interrupted Gawain's words and made everyone feel like they were on the verge of a formidable enemy in an instant, but Diana immediately From the hazy light, I saw a familiar figure gradually emerging.

"Sir Scott... Sir? Director?"
