Chapter 2919 Gathering Place
In the 'Pain Gathering', these creatures always find ways to take advantage of the pain war.
The painful energy here can be stored or exploded, and its power is quite terrifying, so it is very suitable to be used as a weapon.
Of course, it's not just used as a weapon.
They can also liquefy the crystals of pain through some means. The liquefied crystals are very useful, similar to the Ershi people's...'oil', which can provide energy for the entire civilization.
Moreover, those crystals containing pain energy are more effective after they are liquefied than those without pain energy.
It seems that it is because the crystals of pain energy are relatively "pure".
So this civilization began to mine the crystals of pain on a large scale.
But in fact... almost all creatures here hate... or are afraid of painful weapons.
The weapons of pain caused them great...pain, allowing the war to continue.
The use of pain crystals as energy for civilization also constantly causes various incidents. For example, all the workers who handle liquefied crystals suddenly die tragically in a short period of time.
Because the painful energy within the crystal will occasionally explode, it will directly cause the surrounding creatures to die in pain.
Even if you don't come into direct contact with the liquefied crystals, you will feel uncomfortable and irritable just by being nearby.
But because liquefied crystals provide energy so efficiently, they have to use it.
It is just like how the virtual people know that many things will cause pollution, but still continue to use them.
However, the crystal of pain is more dangerous because it will directly affect the creatures themselves.
This makes all creatures in this civilization use... but also hate the crystals of pain, and they are always looking forward to finding a substitute.
Only instead of expecting a replacement to come, they were expecting… a pouring ball.
It was not known whether the Dumping Ball came here by accident or on purpose. It tried to communicate with the creatures here and establish a waste disposal contract as usual.
It’s just that the civilized creatures here were only afraid of the arrival of the pouring ball. Although they did not attack the pouring ball... they also did not respond to the pouring ball’s communication signals.
The dumping ball did not leave. It seemed to want to throw the things here, so it still wandered around.
After a while, a small group of creatures began to try to communicate with the pouring ball.
They told the Pour Ball that they hated the pain crystals underground and hoped that the Pour Ball would throw them all away.
So the pouring ball... agreed.
The main reason is that the Pour Ball itself has investigated and found that all creatures in this place do hate the Crystals of Pain.
Then it began to try to extract these crystals of pain.
…………
In fact, Lin found that it was hard to understand what the situation was like at that time.
In short, the pouring ball almost cleared out all the crystals of pain at that time.
And this civilization perished.
However, what recorded all this was not something left behind by this group of extinct civilized creatures.
But... the 'jellyfish' here.
There are quite a lot of these jellyfish-like creatures in this place. Lin discovered that these creatures have a very interesting characteristic, which is that they record things around them.
These jellyfish 'scan' their surroundings at regular intervals and then reflect it within their bodies.
For example, when a jellyfish is in a cave environment, it will scan the environment there and then turn the organs where the microorganisms live in its body into a very similar environment, allowing the microorganisms to live in this environment.
And the frequencies of the environments recorded by these jellyfish appear to differ.
Because Lin discovered that some jellyfish recorded things that happened very long ago... and they didn't seem to update the records.
Things like the civilizations that appeared in the past can be found inside the jellyfish found here underground.
They can record very detailed information, including the various buildings, terrain, and various details of that time.
By investigating these jellyfish, Lin knew what changes had taken place here at that time.
However, to understand what the civilized creatures at that time were thinking, it is mainly through the energy of pain.
After arriving here, Lin tried to extract the painful energy from the crystals here for research.
In addition to feeling intense pain inside, Lin could also detect that there were living creatures' thoughts and ideas stored inside.
Of course, they are all negative emotions and thoughts.
But Lin can learn from it what happened in the past.
Simply put, initially a group of drifting creatures came to this "gathering place of pain" and established civilization here.
Finally, this civilization ended with the outpouring sphere, because the outpouring sphere extracted all the crystals of pain.
But the details are unclear...Lin found that there was no detailed description of how the pouring ball was extracted from either the pain energy or the jellyfish.
We can only know the general situation.
After the extinction of this civilization, no civilization has ever risen here again.
However, there are still many creatures here.
Like the domestic animals raised by previous civilizations, they have become wild animals here.
As for this kind of jellyfish, it seems to be a kind of domesticated animal. Of course, they are not meat livestock, but have other uses.
In short, this place was originally very large. Judging from various records, it should be no less than two thousand kilometers.
But now it has become very small, mainly because the pouring ball has drained all the pain crystals inside.
It should not be stored after smoking all the cigarettes, but thrown away as you smoke, so that the place becomes very small.
But its actions did not lead to the complete disappearance of the crystallization of pain in this place.
Maybe it gathered together again later, or it was not extracted cleanly.
In short, the crystals of pain continue to accompany the creatures that remain in this place, affecting their ecology.
Even let them 'evolve' with the pain.
What Lin is currently more concerned about is what are the containers that store pain that the dump ball uses to throw at the bus.
It could be some weapons that were not thrown away before, or it could be something specially made by it.
At the same time, there's something strange going on here.
Because the pain crystals here are directly connected to the land of pain, and that’s also where the pain energy inside comes from.
When the painful energy in the crystal is extracted, the Land of Pain will replenish the energy into the crystal.
The creatures here have been constantly consuming painful energy, but there is still a steady supply of painful energy replenished into the crystals, which means that the energy reserves of the Land of Pain are quite large.
But...it seems that the energy of the Land of Pain has been insufficient recently.
This was the main reason why the Pain Bus ceased its activities before.
Simply put, perhaps something is constantly absorbing energy from the Land of Pain.
