Chapter 492 Crack
The departure of the angry spirit did not restore the alien space deep underground to its original state. As the data terminal said, the spatial structure here has mutated for too long, and now it exists stably in the cracks of the real world, even without any external reinforcement. They can last for hundreds of years.
There is still an endless snowfield here, and there is still endless darkness, but the departure of the angry spirit has made the continuous strong wind here finally disappear, and the blizzard will no longer rage here. Hao Ren walked forward according to the direction in his memory while muttering to Vivian next to him: "This place is such a big piece of land. It feels like it would be a waste to just leave it like this..."
Vivian hadn't said anything yet, but Nangong Wuyue couldn't help it anymore: "Landlord, your occupational disease is too serious, don't you want to let go of the land in another space? Who do you plan to rent this place to?"
Hao Ren started to make nonsense again: "What if God throws two army groups of frost dragons at some point to suppress my shock? With that sister's mental state, nothing is impossible. I have to do it according to the standards of the animal world." Be mentally prepared to receive tenants.”
Betsy and Lily were at the back of the team, biting their heads: "I remember there was no frost dragon in "Animal World"..." "The landlord's head is like a sandbox game, you never know what he can do in the next second. What idea pops up?"
"Your ice town and snowfield city don't make much sense, but there should be some things set up here, such as generator sets and lighting equipment," Vivian said with a bright lightning ball suspended above her head as she looked around. For future planning, "Perhaps Igor should really organize some people to build a series of small stations and monitoring equipment here...or we can do it ourselves. This space must be under long-term surveillance, especially the rift."
"I'd better ask Giant Turtle Rock to manufacture a batch of equipment. That thing is more reliable than man-made cameras," Hao Ren said, looking up at the lavender light film in front of him, "Yes, especially this one Crack.”
The departure of the angry spirit did not affect the state of this rift. It seemed that it was really just a simple door with no power connection to the angry spirit. It still floats quietly above the stone platform, shining and floating with a soft and gentle frequency, and emitting bursts of wonderful buzzing sounds.
"Let's see if these two stones are keys," Hao Ren muttered, taking out two "cursed stones" from his portable space and placing them in front of the light film, "Well... what should we do next? Open Sesame?”
The light film showed no change and was still surging leisurely. Hao Ren felt that his current behavior was like Lily.
"Perhaps the ridges on the triangular device should be activated in order," Betsy began to guess the usage of the two devices with the attitude of an experienced mercenary, "just like the method used to open its storage space."
"But it will take forever," Hao Ren chuckled. "Actually, I have always been curious. If this is really a key, why does it have the ability to store space? These two functions are completely unrelated. Let's Did you guess wrong?"
"Human beings are now working hard to make watches that can play videos, write diaries, make text calls, and take photos of themselves. A watchmaker from 1885 would never have thought of why a watch has everything on it but can't see it. When the time comes - never use the existing framework to guess a device you don't understand," Vivian said very philosophically, "Maybe it's popular over there in Fury to design door keys with large capacities?"
Hao Ren immediately felt that what Vivian said made sense - but this did not change the fact that he did not know how to use those two small devices.
"Let me guess what it needs, touch the ridge, a password, and inject a little mental power... Maybe it also needs to check fingerprints and irises, but I think the angry spirit should not have these parts," Hao Ren shrugged, "Terminal , what can you scan?”
"They do have some kind of connection with the rift, and there is information exchange, but this exchange is just the two groups of devices confirming that each other is working properly." A blue light was emitted from the surface of the data terminal, illuminating the two small devices. on, "Maybe the machine should increase the scan intensity to determine how the core of this thing works, but honestly that's a bit dangerous: not everything is as durable as Empire-made, especially if it's just alien-made A set of door keys. Perhaps the core of these two small devices is almost finished, and they are only one scan away from being completely scrapped."
"You have to try it," Hao Ren smacked his lips, and finally nodded, "Just try not to wash away the useful information inside. If it doesn't work, I'll go to Raven 12345 and ask if there is anything better. Technology stuff.”
Under the high-power scanning of the data terminal, Hao Ren began to test the working methods of the two small devices again.
Rubbing the ridges of the triangular device is effective. Those ridges are its control "keys". The concentric circles on the surface of the other circular device have a similar effect, but they need to fix the fingers on a certain path. On the ring, and according to the monitoring of the data terminal, these two operations must be performed simultaneously: a delicate combination that requires coordination and rhythm just like playing a complex combined instrument. Hao Ren had never seen anything with such a strange control method. He guessed that the creator of this thing must be a philosopher-like race - which meant that they were very annoying.
"Ingenious control method, layers of encryption, cannot be cracked by conventional direct reading of information," the data terminal marveled, with a lot of praise in his tone, "It's not advanced, but it's very smart."
While Hao Ren was excitedly studying whether these two gadgets could activate the rift, a girl's voice suddenly came from behind everyone: "You will break it if you test it like this."
In fact, Hao Ren noticed someone approaching just now. He turned around and glanced: "Anna? What are you doing here?"
It was Igor's daughter Anna who came unexpectedly. This girl who had just escaped from madness somehow had the courage to run here. She was wearing a thick fur coat, and the coldness of the dark snowfield made her face look even paler.
Even if the snowstorm has subsided, it is not easy for an ordinary person to walk from the entrance to the underground world to this fissure.
"How did you get here?" Vivian was even more surprised, "Do you know the road?"
"I...remembered something," Anna shrank her neck and looked at the crack in front of her with some fear, "The memory left by the evil spirit in my mind...I know you are here."
Hao Ren and the others suddenly looked at each other: they knew before that the angry spirit poured a lot of information into Anna's mind, but they didn't expect that the information actually included things about this rift!
"Do you remember it all?" Nangong Sanba suddenly looked excited.
Anna nodded slightly, then stretched out her hand to Hao Ren: "Let me see those two keys... I should know how to activate them."
Hao Ren handed the two "stones" over, and Anna began to touch the mysterious lines on their surfaces. The latter actually began to make a slight buzzing sound as if in response. Hao Ren couldn't help but feel confused when he saw this scene: "Actually, I have never understood...why the angry spirit muttered those messy things to ordinary people? Does it have a fetish for education?"
"This is not what the angry spirit is teaching consciously, but a passive and random 'spiritual broadcast'," Vivian folded her arms and explained what she knew or speculated, "We now know that the angry spirit is a The energy field is also a consciousness field. Within the influence of the angry spirit, you are equivalent to walking into the brain of a purely conscious creature - you will involuntarily hear the thinking of this creature, and even weaker humans can The memory is directly tampered with by this illusory brain. The members of the Andre family frequently come into contact with the 'key' and are subconsciously regarded as enemies by the angry spirit. In addition, they have lived in the castle for generations, and they are most affected by the angry spirit. This is the source of their madness. Angry spirits have no logic, and they will not tell you anything consciously. The Andre family only accidentally heard the thoughts of the angry spirits because they happened to be 'soaked' in this monster's dream. .Those weird knowledge and inexplicable memories all come from this.”
"That is, the information copied directly from the 'brain' of the angry spirit," Nangong Sanba added next to him, "So this kind of copy is random, and each member of the Andre family hears different thoughts. Madness can be mild or severe. And because the scenes seen in the memories of angry spirits usually have no cause and effect, victims sometimes misinterpret what they see..."
Nangong Sanba said, pouted at Anna, and whispered: "Probably because she saw the scene of Ancestor Andre taking out a large amount of gold from the key, and then associated it with the legend of the witch in her family, she unilaterally believed that her family's The wealth was stolen and this was identified as the source of the curse. This exacerbated her original illness."
While Hao Ren and the others were discussing the mental impact of angry spirits on ordinary people, Anna's operation finally had an effect.
