Chapter 550 Black Box

"Maybe it's a reflection of events."

After learning what happened to Huai Shi, the Grand Master remained as calm and indifferent as ever, not even bothering to move his eyes: "No need to make a fuss."

He said, "Little things."

Huai Shi's expression twitched.

Although it is a bit hard to bear that the Grand Master in depression is dying, but the Grand Master in normal state is on the other extreme - even making people feel less human than when he is abnormal.

The former is frustrating, while the latter is awe-inspiring and terrifying.

It was as if he had truly turned into inhuman steel, looking down at everything in front of him with cold eyes. Nothing in this world could surprise him. Even if the iron crystal pedestal explodes in front of him, he will not frown.

Every time she stood next to him, Huai Shi felt like she was facing a human-shaped alchemy furnace.

He could feel the changes of countless alchemical matrices in that huge metal body, and huge miracles happened every moment, but he could rarely feel the ups and downs of his emotions.

Comparing the two, he couldn't figure out which one was more normal.

To be fair, he would rather the Grand Master was more salty. At least that way it looks... healthier.

Thinking about it this way, it is not surprising that he is so popular after being kicked by Russell to take the blame. The purser and engineer chief must know the Grand Master's status better than themselves - in that case, wouldn't he be the spare tire?

I felt miserable instantly.

But since the Grand Master said it was a trivial matter, Huai Shi could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He continued to ask: "What does 'event reflection' mean? Are you saying that this situation is not uncommon?"

Recalling the nightmare he had, he instinctively felt a little uneasy.

It's obviously stupid to be frightened by yourself at this time. If there is any abnormality, you should report it immediately, and then everyone can work together to solve the problem.

But Huai Shi seems to be the only one who is very nervous about this.

"Too common."

The Grand Master replied nonchalantly: "In many cases, the Sefirah will be imprinted in the material in some way, and eventually the events recorded in the Seitan can be extracted again in some way... There is nothing surprising about it. , it’s like finding a stone slab from a coffin during archeology, you just happened to understand it.”

"Then why me?"

Huai Shi was puzzled, "There must be a reason, right?"

"Good luck, high inspiration, keen perception, or just exposure to related things. There are too many possible reasons."

The Grand Master flipped through the report, raised his head and said: "As far as I know, you were not the only one who had hallucinations on the Iron Crystal Seat during the cracking experiment, there were six people in total...except August and the people you know. In addition to the communications director, one of them is also your student."

Huai Shi was stunned, in disbelief.

The Grand Master casually pointed to his side.

In the direction of the medical room, Yuan Yuan pushed the door open and said goodbye to the medical staff.

Her expression was calm, as if she was not affected by anything. When he saw Huai Shi talking to the Grand Master not far away, he didn't come forward to disturb him. After nodding politely and saluting, he... picked up Lin Nineteen's collar and turned around to leave.

Lin Shijiu was holding a vomiting bag in his hand. He was vomiting all over the place and his face was pale. He relied on Yuan Yuan to carry it away.

He looked as angry as a gossamer.

I don’t know what kind of nightmare I experienced.

But after the shock, Huaishi quickly understood what was going on - as a sublime person on the path of evil karma, Lin Shijiu himself is dozens of times more sensitive to abnormal negative energy than others. I am afraid that the illusion reflected in the incident There was a lot of tossing in there.

How miserable...

Huai Shi glanced sympathetically at her unlucky student and asked him to take more leave these days.

And just when he was about to continue reporting to the Grand Master, he saw the Iron Giant waving his hands without interest: "As for what I saw, there is no need to say more. It may not be true."

"Huh?" Huai Shi was puzzled.

"Because it's of little use and it's just a waste of energy."

The Grand Master said, "The perspective of an individual is narrow and uncertain, and the perspective of a group is chaotic and blind. No matter which one can see the overall situation, it will only be misleading."

He paused and said meaningfully: "If you indulge in this, in the worst case scenario, your whole person may be replaced by the thing that left that mark."

Huai Shi is horrified and startled.

Alternative?

Is it really possible?

From the records of the source of matter, travel through thousands of years and be resurrected in yourself?

"It may not be impossible, but it may not be that person who is resurrected."

The Grand Master sneered disdainfully: "Some idiots will be brainwashed even after seeing a few small advertisements, let alone empathize with them?

You look back now. "

Huai Shi turned around and looked behind him. Through the thick glass, he saw the huge cube in the laboratory that had changed drastically.

It seems that some kind of sophisticated mechanical creation is slowly opening up - as the cracking test progresses, the outermost layer that was originally tightly sealed has been fully unfolded, stretching out like branches, forming a giant structure that is several times larger than the original volume. .

It's expanding.

Steel grows from the movement of the machine.

The originally huge cube was just a seed, it had not yet grown...

Behind Huai Shi, the Grand Master's words came: "Tell me, what did you see?"

"grave……"

Involuntarily, Huai Shi blurted out this unrelated word.

"What do you feel, Huai Shi?"

"..."

After a brief silence, Huai Shi raised his hand and pressed it on his slightly trembling heart, finding it difficult to understand this sudden emotion.

That's... resentment.

Just seeing this thing, unspeakable resentment sprouted from my chest.

It was as if this thing was the culprit that had caused all destruction.

"In reality it's just a giant energy conversion device that's shut down."

The Grand Master said categorically: "It does not have the function of a tomb, and there is no reason to be resented. Even though it has the miracles of hell, it is still a dead object, a slightly larger relic. "

Huai Shi was stunned.

"See? There's no point in dwelling on the remnants of the past."

Now that the past has passed, don't waste time on things that cannot be changed. Investing energy in them is just in vain.

No matter what you see, Huai Shi, their past, their death and their fate have nothing to do with us. The so-called sympathy, resentment and emotion are just our wishful thinking.

This is the most important principle to remember when developing hell. "

With the end of the words, the short break ended here.

The Grand Master stood up slowly and finally said: "You can discuss the rest among yourselves. Don't disturb me until the cracking test is over."

With the help of other assistants, he put on the isolation suit again, walked into the inner laboratory, and returned to the huge sub-control center.

The trials continue.

.

The so-called sub-control center is actually a black box.

As a creature of hell, it is naturally impossible to conduct research using current thinking, technical specifications, and even operating methods. Therefore, before it is completely cracked, what its internal structure is, what principles it uses, and what technology it uses to operate are a mystery to everyone.

A truly dark box.

Since there are no more samples, destructive experiments cannot be carried out. If you want to figure out its true function and get more clues, you can only continue to make various attempts, conduct research through various methods, and enter different The signal is waiting for feedback, and in the end, the internal operating rules are understood bit by bit.

In this process, experience undoubtedly plays the most important role.

When facing a giant machine that can control hell, no one except the Grand Master has any ability or qualifications to preside over such a complex project.

Therefore, the remaining problems can only be left to other responsible persons to solve.

"At present, the outer and middle structures have been discovered, but there are still some structures in the deeper layers that have not been solved. They may have some functions and conditions that we did not expect, but these are all within the scope of the Grand Master. We Don’t worry. It’s just a matter of time before it’s completely cracked.”

At the brief meeting, after the chief of staff made a report, he distributed the information in his hand: "The top priority now is that when we were activating the sub-control center, we received some strange signals through it - according to analysis, those The signal is most likely a response from other sub-control centers."

On the big screen behind him, three locations were quickly highlighted on the huge map of Twilight Country.

This is where, after analysis by scholars, other sub-control centers are most likely to exist.

"At the same time, we cannot rule out the possibility that the Ivy League is also getting the signal."

the purser reminded.

Based on the analysis of the Ivy League's performance these days, it is quite possible that those guys have a sub-control center in their hands.

Next, everyone looked at Huai Shi.

Wait for him to make a decision.

In the brief silence, Huai Shi pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you have more detailed information? Topography, location, and surrounding conditions."

"Currently there are only some images that we saved when we made the map, but due to the periodic changes in Twilight Land, the reliability is not high."

Area B3, Area D7, and Area E12.

Iron Crystal Zuo's naming of the areas in the Land of Dusk is quite simple and crude. Starting from the tall tower in the center and outwards, the ring areas are ABCDEF... and each ring area is roughly divided into twelve parts according to the angle of the perfect circle.

It seems simple and crude and easy to understand. But in fact, under the rotation and frequent changes of the ring areas of hell, the relationship between each area is messy, and it is difficult to figure out the specific location unless you use a computer.

The first area to be abandoned by Huaishi was Area B3.

Without it, it is too close to the tower. Once entering Area C, the entire hell will become very aggressive, and it will be difficult to explore deeper.

If you don't pay attention, you will die on the spot.

No one with any brain would choose to explore now.

If the Ivy League is so stubborn, Huai Shi is more than willing to open a bottle of wine to celebrate the other party's courage and wish them a safe return.

The location of Area D7 is ideally within the exploration range of the Iron Crystal Seat. Even a day ago, an exploration team outside conducted a terrain survey of the area.

And area E12 is a bit painful.

Based on the signals sent from the branch and unmanned outposts throughout the Twilight Country, we conducted a deduction on the current terrain of the Twilight Country and finally came to a conclusion.

It's right between the Ivory Tower and the Ivy League... and even closer to each other.

"Why is there no terrain information?" Huai Shi asked curiously.

"Well……"

The purser's expression became complicated: "Because the place where the signal came from is not the surface of the earth."

After a brief pause, he said: "The location of the sub-control center is underground more than two thousand meters above the surface..."

"What the hell?" Huai Shi's eyes widened: "Underground?"

"Yes, that's right."

The Chief of Staff said: “According to our exploration, there is a quite complex terrain structure underground in the Twilight Country. In addition to the huge natural cavities, there are also a large number of artificially dug passages and some complex buildings whose functions are difficult to identify. There are still a lot of machines running in it to this day.

If the scholars in the analysis room guessed correctly, then the sub-control center in area D7 is probably a mobile hub that wanders underground in the Twilight Country all year round.

Its function is probably also related to the rotation of the Twilight Land——"

Huai Shi fell into silence.

It seems like I'm thinking, but there's really nothing to think about.

All he was thinking about was whether it was possible to win both.

If there were no competitors, we could just take it easy, but now time is too precious, and no one knows whether one step behind will be caught up by the opponent.

If possible, he didn't want to leave even the slightest chance to the Ivy League. It would be best if he could suppress the opponent throughout the whole process and give them a good beating. In the end, he would make them recognize the reality and bow down without saying anything, or at least run away in confusion.

But if you think about it for a moment, you know it’s impossible. ,

There are three pounds of nails in even a broken ship. Besides, the Ivy League has spent so much money this time, and it is absolutely impossible for them to return home after a slight setback.

The two sides can only fight head-on.

And that day will come soon.

Before that, the more prepared you are, the better.

Nowadays, the number of legions controlled by the Ivy League far exceeds our own. It is obviously an unwise choice to divide the troops hastily, but since it is underground, it gives Huai Shi a chance.

According to other submitted information, the underground environment is generally narrow, and the number of people does not mean much. A few elites are often more effective than a large number of cannon fodder.

"The gargoyles and the undead army are left to you. Without me and the Paradise Guards, can you win D7?"

Huai Shi raised her head and asked bluntly.

"Tiejingzuo is not a place that will become useless if it loses someone's leadership, Mr. Huaishi." The chief clerk smiled reservedly: "If this is your order, then we will complete it, and you don't have to do the rest. Worry."

"Then, leave the underground of E12 to me."

Huai Shi breathed a sigh of relief and finally made up his mind.

"Are you sure?" the purser asked, "Should we bring the wolfdog with us?"

Next to him, the mosaic-shaped wolfdog who came to the meeting on behalf of the Grand Master also raised the word "bark" on the sign and barked briefly to show his presence.

Although it always looks like it is not very useful, the Chief of Staff once reminded Huai Shi: When it comes to frontal combat capabilities...the most powerful one on the iron crystal base is this mosaic-shaped white 'wolf dog'.

As one of the Grand Master's most proud works, apart from its appearance, it really looks exactly like a wolfdog. It's so docile that anyone can touch it twice. When I am very bored, I will play Frisbee with the students while carrying the sign "Let's play with big brother".

Huai Shi could not imagine that this mosaic actually had the fighting power of a large group at the level of a crown wearer, and could even be more exaggerated when necessary.

But the purser would never lie in a place like this.

"No need."

After thinking for a long time, Huai Shi finally shook his head.

When it comes to serious destructive power, he also has Lord of the Flies on hand.

Now that the Grand Master is in charge of cracking, he has no time to take care of other things. After Huaishi leaves, if Tie Jingzuo goes out in a large scale, then the wolfdog can at least stay to help guard the house, and will not be exchanged 1 for 1 by the opponent's limit.

Although Huaishi herself is used to wandering, she still needs to be steady when it's time to be steady. She can't put all her eggs in one basket.

Now that the decision has been made, there is nothing more to say.

As the meeting ended, instructions from the highest levels began to be issued to every corner of the Iron Crystal Tower. In just five minutes, except for the four research departments that were the main crackers, all the others entered a state of war.

After a few days of short rest, the Hell Development Exploration Agency from the institute was operating efficiently again.

Huai Shi began to count the equipment one by one and prepared to set off.

A set of protective clothing as thick as an astronaut's, a blessed light source that can last for more than seventy hours, props to deal with various situations, and common pioneering equipment.

In addition to dealing with the eighteen hours of sunshine during the day in the Twilight Land, he also needs to face the darkness underground.

Both are horrific curses that can be fatal.

According to the calculations of scholars, the further down you go, the stronger the petrification curse in the darkness becomes. Once the light source is lost, Huaishi will probably turn into a stone statue in an instant and be left in the eternal darkness underground forever.

The development of hell is no joke, one wrong step will lead to death.

After correcting her mentality again, Huai Shi put on her helmet, and finally reached out to pick up the white cat on the bookshelf next to her, and rubbed its top.

"Too bad it's Thursday."

"Meow!"

The white cat nimbly jumped out of Huai Shi's hand, landed on his shoulder, squatted down, and licked its paws.

Don’t be afraid of the sunshine and darkness that will follow.

Anyway, the image of the cat is just Russell's bad taste, it's not even a living thing at all. What exists here is just a projection, and the curse has no effect on it at all.

After asking about Xiao Jiu's condition for the last time, Huai Shi gave Yuan Yuan a few more words, then turned and walked towards the exit at the bottom of the Tiejingzuo.

There was already a truck waiting there.

In front of the gate, it was busy.

All the park guards have entered the vehicle, and the staff are installing and debugging various equipment and loading supplies.

After finally confirming the safety of the truck, they gave a thumbs up gesture towards the driver's seat, turned around and ran wildly to hide in the protective zone.

As Huai Shi took a deep breath, the heavy gates in front of the truck suddenly opened, and the blazing sunlight poured in from the outside like a torrent, swallowing everything in an instant.

It seems to indicate a bright future for them.

The truck roared to life and sped out from behind the gate, heading towards the depths of hell.

There are still six hours until sunset.

And there are still 700 kilometers away from the scheduled location.

As Raymond gradually smiled, Huaishi discovered something extremely terrifying inside the helmet.

He forgot to bring his motion sickness medicine!

Later but arriving! ! ! ! Although Kavinka is crazy ORZ, I still try to speed up the pace and try to write something new~
