Chapter 2223 Motivation

Mo Ye stood at the entrance of the gate and did not move. The gate behind her closed automatically after she walked in. When the ancient gate closed, it made a creaking and decaying sound.

Mo Ye closed his eyes, his slightly sore and swollen eyes were rested for a moment, the shadows around his eyes became heavier, his skin that was already too fair at this moment appeared unhealthy pale without the slightest color of blood, his throat was dry, his headache was splitting, his limbs Including every finger is full of unbearable soreness, the muscles seem to be roasted by a small fire, and the pain continues slowly.

The high concentration of mental power and severe lack of sleep doubled this feeling of fatigue.

The repetition of time nodes or the so-called pause does not mean that the body can last forever, will not be tired or aging, and Mo Ye has already experienced this personally.

Very tired, if there is a comfortable and warm big bed in front of him at this moment, Mo Ye is not sure whether he will climb on it and sleep first regardless of the whims.

This kind of fatigue did not appear suddenly, but accumulated over a long period of time. Mo Ye's body had not been completely rested since entering Peters Rubik's Cube. She didn't even know how long she had been in Peters Rubik's Cube.

Sometimes it feels like time is fast, and sometimes it feels like time is slow and stagnant. Peters City, where the clock is not working properly, has completely disturbed Mo Ye's time perception.

For example, at this moment, Mo Ye opened her eyes and saw a figure coming from the darkness not far away. She couldn't even determine how long she had closed her eyes, whether it was a second or a minute, maybe shorter or longer.

The lack of accurate time perception is really an annoying and helpless thing.

If Mo Ye's mood could be expressed in the form of a weather forecast, Xiao Qi would mark his master as cloudy and cloudy at this time, which made him feel very bad.

Mo Ye covered his mouth with his hands and yawned, his eyes narrowed lazily, and there were always a few curls on his head that stubbornly wanted to go to the sky.

That person got closer and closer. It was the deacon of the Supervisory Committee of Peters City, that fake boy with a fake smile.

Stepping on the firelight with every step, the faint flames under the feet bloom like flowers, and the fire is very enthusiastic every step of the way.

Mo Ye yawned again as he thought about it wildly. There was some buzzing in his mind, and the soreness in his muscles became more painful when he saw the firelight.

Behind the deacon with a smirk is six people, all without exception are saints and deacons of Peters City.

"A real person going into battle?"

The chief deacon looked down at Mo Ye with a fake smile, and sighed, "It's a pity that you have come to this point in the end. You are really troublesome beyond my expectations."

There was no special tone or expression change, but Mo Ye sensed strong dissatisfaction and strong hatred from this sentence.

When talking about unexpected troubles, the flame under the deacon's feet suddenly heated up several degrees, and the sputtering sparks seemed to be demonstrating or expressing contempt.

Such a strong hatred is very inexplicable, Mo Ye looked blank and innocent, "I thought your mission was to maintain the normal operation of Peters City, and not to harm the aliens who hold the star key."

"You haven't been approved by Xingyao, who do you think you are!" Someone shouted uncontrollably, refuting Mo Ye contemptuously and angrily, "You are just a person who knows nothing about luck."

Mo Ye didn't pay much attention to what the deacon said later, her attention was drawn away when she heard the words 'Star Key Approved'.

"How do you get Star Key's approval?" Mo Ye said as he shook his wrist wearing the rune stone bracelet.

If you ask, can you not shake your hands casually, deliberately show off, or deliberately demonstrate?

Hey, the mental power fluctuated violently, and the resentful eyes almost turned into knives and shot at Mo Ye.

His Excellency the sorcerer raised his eyebrows slightly, retracted his shaking hands, and probably understood that he was irritating the other party, "So you have given up insisting?"

The purpose of the deacon is not just to maintain the stable operation of Peters City. If it is true, he will not be indifferent when the black rain invades the block building complex and has to abandon a large number of citizens.

Even the shop where the citizens go to have breakfast every day needs to ensure a foolproof place, and the supervisory committee that does not miss any details, but directly chooses to give up and save the possible citizens. This is not in line with the logic of the supervisory committee.

But when something goes wrong, there must be a demon. What is the purpose of the deacon?

Mo Ye understands Cadiz's appeal, Mo Ye understands Deacon Dikana's pursuit, and she can even see the ambition of the deacon who has been chasing her, but what about the deacon?

His motivation and purpose are like a piece of frosted glass in Mo Ye's eyes, no matter how hard he wipes, he can only see a faint shadow behind the frosted glass.

There must be some special reason for this person to behave unusually.

"There was no inevitable conflict of interest between us, and win-win cooperation could have been achieved, but you want to get rid of me wholeheartedly. Why?" Mo Ye looked at the deacon with a smirk and asked seriously, "You What was your motive and purpose?"

Mo Ye didn't wait for the chief deacon to speak with a smirk, and continued, "If I'm not wrong, a series of tests are required to get Star Key's approval, and the so-called approval is actually to increase the authority level. You don't want me to increase the authority level?"

Mo Ye nodded, "Your fluctuations in mental power tell me that my guess is correct."

"Heh, you are the most nonsense alien I have ever seen."

Mo Ye raised his eyebrows slightly and pursed his lips. He never thought that he would get such comments in his lifetime.

"Master, he said you talk too much!" Although Xiao Qi also felt that her master was talking a little more than usual at the moment, it was obviously cloudy and overcast, so there must be a reason for her high interest.

"Actually, I can't sense your mental fluctuations." Mo Ye said frankly.

Everyone "..." What are you playing with!

"But now I'm sure that my guess is correct. You don't want me to raise my authority, but why? I still can't figure out your motive and purpose. Can you tell me?"

Mo Ye spoke with a tired face and looked like he might fall asleep at any time, with no ups and downs in his tone, and he didn't sound curious at all, as if she didn't care if the deacon said it or not, so why ask?

What Mo Ye asked was her question, and it was also the question of other members of the Peters City Supervisory Committee. Whether they knew something inside or knew nothing, whether they were investigators, deacons or ordinary residents, everyone had some doubts in their hearts to some extent. .

Deacon, what are you worried about?

No one dared to really question it.

"Hehe, Alien, you are sowing discord, don't you think it's too late?"

Mo Ye rubbed her sore eyes, and looked away from the firelight. The scorching temperature of the jumping sparks made her eyes more sore and her head hurt even more.

Standing in mid-air while stepping on sparks, unwilling to make changes even at this moment, such exaggeration really doesn't go well with that superficial smiley face.

Mo Ye's thoughts stopped for a moment, and the little man who was rolling around with a ball of thread in his mind suddenly stood up. Everything has a cause and effect, and there is a reason why the chief deacon is so stepping on the spark.

Mo Ye couldn't figure this out, but there was one thing she had already received a definite answer from Xiao Qi, "Master, after the test, the people in front of me can be sure except for the bionic guards who are the first from the left and the first from the right." It's human." After finishing speaking, Xiaoqi felt that the answer was not rigorous, so he added, "But scanning in Peters City will also get the same result."

Death is the only way to test whether they are flesh and blood, at least the only way Mo Ye knows.

This is really helpless.

Mo Ye's line of sight has been locked on the chief deacon, and the thread of mental power has entered different warehouse areas along the surrounding space nodes to check the dormant cabins.

This time, Mo Ye didn't dare to approach rashly again. These dormant cabins have defense devices against mental power detection. Unless Mo Ye's purpose is to directly destroy, otherwise the simple detection will only disturb the mental power defense network, and it is Mo Ye who suffers. night myself.

"Your mental strength is injured."

No need for mental induction, Mo Ye can fully hear and see the unconcealed gloating in the deacon's determined tone at this moment.

Mo Ye knew that the chief deacon was delaying time, and the chief deacon knew that Mo Ye was delaying time, and everyone was running out of time.

It's just that none of them knew what the other party's motives and purposes were, and they all relied on the minutiae of information to make speculations. They could only memorize one word—guess, and if they had to use two words, it would be—blind guess.

"You don't directly kill me at this time, but listen to me talking nonsense, what are you waiting for?"

"What about you, Mo Ye, what are you waiting for?"

Wait for an opportunity, wait for a definite answer." She needs to know whether those sleeping cabins are human beings, and if they are human beings, why are they lying here collectively.

"

"Master, the detection is complete. The latest feedback shows that there are indeed human beings lying in the dormant cabins that have been spot-checked. The races and ages of the people are different."

Mo Ye looked at the chief deacon, "The people lying here are all citizens of Peters City." Mo Ye did not express any questioning tone, she was sure in her heart, even if the other party denied it at this moment, she would not believe it.

The deacon laughed again, "You guessed it."

The deacon's eyes always followed the movement of Mo Ye's wrist, and his desire for the star key was never hidden from the beginning to the end.

"It's still too late to hand it over, I can give you the opportunity to stay in Peters City."

Mo Ye didn't respond to the deacon's proposal. She kept thinking about why these people were lying in the dormant cabin, so are those in Peters City fake?

No, that's true too, just aggregates of energy.

These dormant pods are similar to the star network link pods. If Peters City is imagined as a network, Mo Ye can probably understand.

But Peters City is real, and so are those people. Their minds are a bit confused. After their guesses are suddenly confirmed, they find that their brains are not enough.

When I was just guessing, I didn't have extra thoughts, but after the guessing was confirmed at this time, I had to sigh, and at the same time, there was a trace of fear in my heart.

The sense of crisis is like a shadow, rising from the soles of the feet to the stubborn curly hair flying on the top of the head.

Fear of unknown power, awe of unknown knowledge, and puzzlement of the deacon's behavior.

Mo Ye can be sure that the other party is delaying time. The purpose of the delay is nothing more than to stop her, but how to achieve it?

No, made a mistake!

Suddenly, Mo Ye realized that she had overestimated her importance.

This is not the Star Alliance, not the Worm Realm, and not Burgess.

Maybe her level is just not bad in the era when advanced civilizations still exist.

What the other party wants is the star key, and what they are afraid of is also the star key.

The rune tablet is the key.

Mo Ye procrastinated because she knew too little and needed to learn more.

"The people lying in the dormant cabin are the citizens of Peters City, so what are those in Peters City?"

Mo Ye already had the answer in his heart, but he still hoped to confirm it again.

"Of course they are too." The deacon still kept smiling, "You still have a chance, you can choose to live in any way, you can enter eternity, you just need to hand over what you shouldn't have."

Xiao Qi suddenly became excited at this moment, and snapped his fingers, "Master, I have found the main control system of Peters City."

"It's a brain, it's actually a brain." Xiao Qi didn't see the same kind of joy, but immediately entered a state of high alert. "Master, it's on the head of the deacon."

Xiao Qi's words suddenly reminded Mo Ye, she turned her head slightly and looked up, staring at the deacon's fake smiling face, "Why do you carry the city brain with you?"

These words made the expression of the chief deacon, who had been calmly waiting for his expected ending with a false smile, change slightly.

The mental power fluctuation leaked at that moment has been captured by her.

It seemed right, Mo Ye tried again, "Your motivation and purpose are closely related to the controlling brain in Peters City."

The people behind the chief deacon all took a step forward, and the coercion from the few people locked Mo Ye on.

He didn't even care about delaying time, which meant that Mo Ye guessed right, the brains of Peters City were more important to the deacon than the citizens of Peters City, even more important than Peters City.

Intellectual brain is not such a rare equipment for advanced civilizations, but he is willing to pay everything for it, at all costs.

"How do you know?" The deacon didn't speak, and the tension rose sharply.

"You also have a brain." The deacon said

Xiao Qi is still in shock, she should have found out long ago.

Xiaoqi always thought that the main control system of Peters City would be a higher-level or special control system like the rune slate, but he really didn't expect it to be a brain, which seemed to be a semi-disabled brain.

"Master, the core device of the optical brain of the main control system of Peters City seems to have been severely damaged and has not yet fully recovered."

This makes the deacon's purpose even more vague, what exactly does he want to do.

Is it possible that you can still see your own brain?

Everyone in Peters City lies in these dormant cabins, including Cadiz and Dikana of course. They are not really dead, but in the dormant cabin.

Mo Ye raised his head suddenly, and suddenly realized why the deacon had to show up in person to delay the time.

"Who or what are your people looking for?"
