Chapter 1081 Corpus Fissure Group

Bai Huo showed great interest in Doudou, but Hao Ren didn't have time to explain to her in detail how a fish was transformed into a pure-blooded demon-hunting fish by the Holy Artifact of Origin, because he was already under Bai Huo's leadership. We arrived near the largest crack.

On the top of this large palace closest to the clock tower in the spirit world, there is an open half-moon-shaped platform. This platform was the place where the Demon Legion and the Elder Order fought over and over again. The powerful evil energy and magical power were in this area. Many indelible traces were left on the platform. Some twisted energy aberrations that looked like spiritual creatures were wandering around on the platform, and the demon hunters responsible for cleaning up the battlefield set up huge traps on the edge of the platform. device to eliminate these distortions. Hao Ren saw a huge lavender crack that looked like a knife slashing across the platform, which was the "weird phenomenon" Bai Huo said.

"This thing really doesn't look like an ordinary space rift..."

Hao Ren landed on the platform, and after confirming that the environment was safe, he looked closely at the crack. The length of this crack is about thirty meters, and the widest point reaches five meters. The main body of the crack looks like it has been cut open by a sharp blade, and many irregular turtle cracks extend out from the edges of both ends of the crack, a kind of lavender Floating lights are surging in the cracks, sometimes substantive, sometimes illusory, making it impossible to determine whether they are real or just phantoms, and these lights also prevent any sight from peeking into the cracks. Hao Ren took out an elf rapier from his portable space and tried to stab it into the lavender light curtain. He found that the blade went directly through it - but did not enter a so-called alien space. He bent down and The tip of the rapier was found emerging from the back of the crack.

This thing that looks like a "space crack" is actually just a light and shadow effect?

"It's just a shadow?" Lily knelt down and looked at the sword blade coming out from the other side of the crack, "It doesn't lead to anywhere."

"No, look carefully," Bai Huo pointed at Hao Ren and observed the front end of the rapier. "The length of the blade is shorter and a little crooked to the side. This shows that there is something inside this purple crack. Yes, there should be a layer of folded space inside, and it should be at a certain angle from the real space."

Hao Ren took a closer look and found that this was indeed the case. He was using a short sword from the Erim elves. The blade was about fifty centimeters long. But when he put the thin sword with its hilt into the purple crack, it came out from another place. The sword blade protruding from one end is only forty centimeters long, and part of the blade is obviously located in another space.

Lily rolled her eyes and thought for a while, thinking: "This is not simple. Just throw a small detector in. If you are afraid of losing it, tie it with a rope. As long as the size of the camera is smaller than the folding space of this layer, , you can see what’s going on inside.”

Not to mention, this husky usually seems confused and dumbfounded, but in fact she has a lot of clever ideas, and most of the time her ideas are good.

"We have already tried it," Bai Huo shook his head. "The conclusion is that any observation of the interior of the crack will cause it to shift its position, and this transfer is completed instantaneously. The original location of this crack was in the Temple Square below. But after the investigators threw a few cameras inside, it ended up here. We were worried that if we tried this a few more times, the crack would move to a more unpredictable location, so we temporarily stopped testing."

"Can you still run?" Hao Ren was immediately surprised, "Huh... This doesn't sound like an ordinary space rift."

"Does this thing have any other properties besides this?" Vivian asked curiously.

Bai Huo nodded: "It has many strange properties. For example, it has been continuously releasing trace amounts of radiation. It is not affected by any external energy. Its size will change over time, about every two hours. It expands by ten percent, and will change back in the next two hours. But these properties are not important in my opinion, and there is no way to explain its essence."

Hao Ren hummed, took out the data terminal and asked it to detect the strange cracks. At the same time, he asked casually: "How did these things appear? Were there any witnesses at the time? Are there any noteworthy phenomena before and after they appeared?"

"Appeared suddenly, without warning," Bai Huo replied, "Two demon hunters happened to witness the moment when the rift appeared, but they only saw this thing suddenly appear, and there was no useful information. So far, in the spirit world Dozens of such cracks have appeared around the clock tower, with different shapes and sizes, and apart from their sudden appearance, they have not caused any problems - these things are like shadows, simply floating in the air."

Hao Ren smacked his lips: "To be honest, you should have informed me earlier when such a strange thing happened. You also know that I am investigating this matter."

Bai Huo spread his hands: "This kind of thing may be strange 'outside', but in Corpus... all kinds of abnormal phenomena in this ancient ruins are commonplace, especially the weirdness in time and space. Stuff, literally everywhere, we were all numb.”

As she spoke, she smiled awkwardly: "And so many energy nodes were shut down during the war, coupled with the free magic energy on the battlefield, these are factors that can easily cause space tearing, so at the beginning even my mentor No one paid attention to the condition of these cracks.”

Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and finally he could only sigh: "You guys are so generous..."

These guys are just like people who have been on the battlefield for a long time and are not afraid of death, and who have watched too much non-mainstream and are not afraid of ghosts - they have lived in Corpus, where space is unstable, for generations, and now they see a space-time rift suddenly popping up in their home. They don’t even take their stuff seriously!

At this time, the data terminal had already circled the "space crack" several times, and it suddenly flew in front of Bai Huo: "Tell this machine the locations of all other cracks, and this machine will detect them one by one."

Hao Ren and Bai Huo said in unison: "What did you find?"

"This is indeed a space crack, but it is not naturally formed at all," the data terminal said quickly. "There are very complex encryption traces. This machine believes that it is necessary to sort out the laws of other space cracks before cracking their encryption algorithms."

Hao Ren was stunned when he heard this: "Encryption?! Do you mean this thing is man-made?"

Without waiting for the terminal to answer, he suddenly realized what this meant: These "cracks" were probably really things left in Corpus by the Goddess of Creation!

At first, he had the same idea as Bai Huo, thinking that the previous fierce battle destroyed the balance of the Corpus energy node group, coupled with the catalysis of the demonic evil energy, which led to the appearance of so many energy nodes in this unstable space. However, the discovery of the data terminal now points to a new conjecture: perhaps these "cracks" have existed for a long time, and are specially created by the goddess of creation, but they have been hidden by some kind of mechanism. Perhaps the previous war accidentally triggered some preset program, causing these cracks to surface.

Hao Ren's thoughts only happened for a moment. He soon calmed down and turned to look at Bai Huo: "You said there are dozens of such cracks in total?"

"This is just a conservative estimate," Bai Huo immediately replied, "We have found dozens of cracks, but there are still some seriously damaged palaces that have not been cleaned up yet, and some places where the concentration of magic energy is too high are still inaccessible. ——I’m afraid there are also cracks in those places.”

Hao Ren nodded and waved his hand to open the portable space. A large group of autonomous machines flashing silver and waving tentacles flew out. These autonomous machines were flying around, waiting for Hao Ren's orders at any time. .

"It's too slow to check them one by one. Terminal, I will transfer the control authority of these autonomous machines to you, and you can direct them to check the cracks in other places. Bai Huo, please call some people over and take these robots to find you. Those cracks that have been discovered.”

Everyone had no objections to Hao Ren's arrangement. Bai Huo raised his hand and fired a flare over the temple. After a bright silver flame flashed, dozens of elite demon hunters dressed in black appeared silently. on the platform.

"Each of you take one of these... uh... robotic tentacle monsters to the vicinity of the distortion rifts," Bai Huo directed his senior investigators, "Lockhan and Donna, you two go to summon the Twin Towers Temple. The special service team members, ask them to check the area that was cleaned yesterday. If it is correct, the concentration of magic energy there should have dropped. Send someone in to see if there are any cracks there. If there are any cracks, report back immediately. .in addition……"

Bai Huo quickly issued orders one after another. It was obvious that she was still a little rusty when issuing orders and was not as experienced as her mentor, but she still showed good scheduling ability and momentum. Given time, she will obviously grow into an excellent demon hunter as good as Hasselblad.

However, Hao Ren still had some objections: "What, these are not mechanical tentacle monsters... they are called autonomous machines."

Bai Huo: "..."
