MTL - High Above-v2 Chapter 813 I can see right away that you are not human! (7600, please
Chapter 813 I can tell at a glance that you are not human! (7600, ask for a monthly pass!)
Ian didn't notice the danger of the 'Scarlet Garden' at first, after all, this place is too dangerous.
Although it sounds like "you put this here and this here", in fact, he did distract more energy from the possible threats in the real world.
Just now, Ian was still looking for any lurking beasts within his vision, or a possible third-level beast king.
You know, the third level of monsters has intelligence that is not inferior to that of humans, and will the third level of different beasts be the same?
If so, what kind of traps will they set?
But the result is that Ian found nothing... let alone a strange beast, not even a corpse.
The entire Scarlet Courtyard is very tidy except for the red light. It can even be said that it is as if a cleaner has been cleaning it for thousands of years.
Being attracted by this situation, Ian ignored the changes on the side of the Void Realm.
Fortunately, there is Siou.
"It can be said to be almost exactly the same... No wonder this Scarlet Garden has always been on red alert. The subspace debris has overlapped with the material world by 95%, so it's strange not to be on alert!"
The red-haired dragon girl who has the potential to be a dragon of the void is frowning at this moment, but her expression is very similar to Ian's expression just now, her demeanor and temperament are all in line, she is completely a brother and sister: "Ian, how many people have died here? , will become like this?!"
Speaking of the latter part, Xiou raised his voice slightly. It was astonishing that he was captured by the Institute of the Senses, sunk into the maze of subspace and had to watch a lot of PTSD.
"Whether a million people died overnight in the Avakland, or a million people with souls... In addition, there are many souls of the tragic dead in the laboratory. It will cause virtual realms to overlap and subspace labyrinths to proliferate."
Ian stretched out his hand and patted Xiou on the shoulder, and Anfa also hugged Xiou, calming the dragon girl down a bit.
Immediately afterwards, Ian looked around, and he continued to analyze: "As for here... well... a lot of people died? And for some reason, the spiritual quality here is very abundant... Well, the courtyard has basically overlapped with the void."
At this moment, the boy firmly said: "In this third floor, there is definitely an entrance to the 'subspace labyrinth'!"
"But the problem is not here - Anfa, did you Canaan Moore send an army here to explore and die?"
Asked in a deep voice, Ian had already noticed something was wrong.
"No, of course not!" Anfa replied solemnly to the weird question: "Except for small-scale exploration, no team in Canaan Moor has ever sent a team of more than ten people to enter the third floor! Even me, last time Come to the third floor, there are only three people!"
"Understood."
In this regard, Ian let out a sigh of relief, and he calmly said: "Then, a wonderful thing happened."
"According to my observations, the number of deaths in the entire Scarlet Garden in the past year, or in other words, the number of 'souls' that have dissipated here..."
"Over five million!"
Everyone froze in place.
Five...five million?
What a joke!
If you say 500,000 people... No, no, no, 500,000 is too exaggerated... If you say 55,000 people, Anfa may still doubt whether the blood of the ten kings of Canaan Moor once sent a small army to fight here A local war started.
This kind of thing has not happened before. In order to compete for valuable ruins and areas, the blood of the ten kings will never hesitate to shed blood.
The "Linhai Autonomous Region turmoil" back then was driven by the Blood of the Ten Kings, and it ended in a proxy war. In that small-scale civil war, the death toll was as high as 120,000, which was more than the number of deaths in the confrontation with the heavenly royal court in the past hundred years!
But... five million?
This has exceeded the limit of Anfa's imagination by an order of magnitude!
"Wow, Ian, you're not kidding, are you?"
Ethan is not the kind of person who would doubt Ian, if he said five million, it would be five million. And Anfa looked solemn, obviously thinking about something.
So in the end, only Xiou bluffed and opened his eyes wide, and said in disbelief: "It's true that five million people will die, and that's true. The virtual environment in this place is abnormal—but where are the corpses? Five million corpses are enough." Cover most of the entire Scarlet Garden!"
"Even if there were five million people living here and all of them died during the disaster, we should be able to see many corpses now!"
Xio is right. Even if five million people really died, the corpses could still pile up into a hill. The Scarlet Garden couldn't be so tidy.
But Ian did not directly answer Xiou's question, but continued to say amazingly: "The five million is just a foundation. In fact, according to the results of my observations, if it is a disaster that fell from the sky, five million people died here." Millions of people, the distortion of the void caused by their souls has long since ended, just like the Avakland finally returned to normal and the subspace labyrinth was broken."
"Actually, what I'm talking about is the last year-there have been souls dissipating here, and there are still a lot of them. At least hundreds of thousands of souls disappear every month, so that they can support the distortion of this intensity of the virtual world."
Now, Ian completely confused the other three.
"Can…"
Isengard, who believed in Ian the most, couldn't help asking cautiously: "Where are the dead people?"
The white-haired boy looked at his friend, and said calmly: "I didn't say that people died. I just said that five million ordinary people's 'souls' disappear here, and hundreds of thousands die every month. It's just the soul of a person."
"The cursed land on the other side of Yanjiang doesn't kill hundreds of thousands of people every month, but the evil land where subspace overlaps still exists, doesn't it?"
"Call..."
As soon as Ian said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Anfa also put his hand on his chest, looked around helplessly and said: "Ian, don't be scary next time... It seems that there are actually people in this Scarlet Garden. A natural psionic field? Converting natural source matter into spiritual matter, and then continuously supplying the local warp labyrinth... No wonder it can last for such a long time."
"first."
Ian's eyes flashed with silver-blue brilliance, and he continued to observe the situation in the entire Scarlet Courtyard, and said lightly: "This psychic energy field is man-made, and it should be that the civilization of the previous era required a large amount of 'spiritual matter' to carry out the virtual environment. Shaped by experiments. If there are no accidents, there should be a virtual machine **** research institute here."
"Secondly, I didn't say that the souls dissipated here are all ignorant and unconscious spiritual substances transformed from the spiritual energy field... You can also feel something is wrong, isn't it that cool and terrifying feeling? It proves that there are actually quite a few intelligent souls that dissipate in this time and space, and then are absorbed by the subspace, distorting the surrounding virtual world!"
"In the end, people still died, and there are quite a few corpses of hundreds of thousands of people?"
Xiou worked hard to revive his brain, which is not difficult for the real dragon... So soon, the real dragon lady raised her head in shock and looked at Ian: "Wait... yeah, it's just An intelligent soul does not necessarily need a corpse..."
"Yes, Xiou, you finally understand that you are indeed very talented in virtual realm souls."
Hearing this, Ian was quite relieved. Xiou is indeed not stupid, as long as she needs to, her brain moves very fast.
He raised his head, looked towards the ceiling, and also looked towards the direction where the twilight shelter is located on the second floor: "I actually thought about your confusion from the very beginning—I also found it strange that I have observed hundreds of thousands of souls in the nearest place. Death in a short period of time, and the magnitude of the distortion of the entire virtual world requires millions of intelligent souls, so where are the corpses and the sacrificial field?"
"As long as it can explain the reality of the situation, then the most incredible answer is the answer..."
"Everyone, those intelligent souls have no bodies from the beginning."
Lowering his head, Ian and Isengard looked at each other.
He only said one word, and the blond boy suddenly realized.
【Echo】
"Do you remember?" Ian pointed to the top of his head with a calm expression: "Those beasts with special abilities and martial arts... Although I killed them very quickly, there is no doubt that they do have intelligence that does not belong to them." Skill."
"This is obviously the ability of the pre-epoch civilization to bless them through mechanical transformation...With the transformed brain and chips, they can download knowledge into that body, use the instant body of a strange beast, and human beings who have practiced hard Sublimator confrontation—No matter what the result is, it is indeed difficult for ordinary human beings to fight against biological weapon-like beasts."
"but."
Having said that, Ian raised a finger, and he said solemnly: "If there is such a pre-epoch civilization system...it does not use the body of a strange beast as a carrier to download information, but uses pure spiritual matter as a material to inscribe .”
"It is not engraved with martial arts skills, but some memories and thinking algorithms, some human thinking patterns... and some painful memories..."
"So, what happens to the ectoplasm?"
what will happen...
Not to mention Isengard and Xiou, the two related personnel who understood it directly, even though they are not sensitive to this aspect, Anfa, who also has an existential crisis of being consumed by the memory of Tinder, immediately understood what Ian meant.
The elf girl with long emerald green hair took a deep breath: "This is an artificial soul... mass-produce a large number of high-quality sacrificial souls with wisdom and painful memories?!"
The more he talked, the more horrified Anfa looked at the center of the Scarlet Garden in astonishment: "The reason why there is such a large virtual distortion here is because the instruments of the civilization of the previous era have been using the psionic energy that can produce a large amount of psychic matter. The field artificially creates a soul with a lot of painful memories, so it can always maintain the existence of the subspace labyrinth?!"
Regarding Anfa's guess, Ian shook his head slightly: "To be precise, I don't think it is a soul, but a kind of 'Virtual Mechanism', a kind of soul program. It's just very weak, only the soul strength of ordinary people. "
"But the rest, I think you're right."
"Whether it was done by the civilization of the previous era, or the controller of the Alien Research Institute later, he has a genius idea-using the method of creating virtual machine gods, using echoes, memory downloads, and a whole psychic conversion field Realm, create souls in batches to distort the virtual world, and then create subspace mazes to store and cover up some things.”
"Of course, he may also be doing some experiments, but in general, he has used everything he can."
At this point, Ian asked teasingly: "Anfa, where do you think the entrance to that subspace maze will be?"
And this question needs no answer.
Because Anfa thought of that place in an instant.
"Abyss!"
The elf girl clenched her fists: "The abyss where I obtained the source quality chip - I said that something is wrong, why the instrument data is so abnormal... But I can also see the void, I have a dragon soul, why can't I see the subspace labyrinth? door?"
Ian shook his head: "That is obviously an entrance to the subspace that needs to be tested for 'qualification'. Anfa, you didn't go in personally, and if your dragon soul came into contact with the anchor point, it would definitely not be triggered, and the gate of the subspace maze would be opened."
"I think, having a certain dragon soul and jumping into the abyss is one of the conditions for entering the Naya Space Labyrinth."
Now that the goal has been determined, there is no need to say more.
Everyone is heading towards the 'Abyss'.
Whether Ian's guess is correct or not, take action first.
The Scarlet Courtyard is actually not that big. The entire Alien Species Research Institute actually presents an inverted pyramid structure. The first two-story shelter is the widest, and it can easily accommodate millions of people. It is a real doomsday shelter.
The research area on the third floor is only equivalent to a large urban area, which is a bit narrow compared to the productivity of the pre-era civilization.
The winding street is a smooth road in front of Anfa, who has determined the route long ago, and she leads everyone forward at the fastest speed.
Along the way, they saw many well-preserved research institutes, namely the 'Dragon Robot Research Institute', 'Dragon Blood Chimera Research Institute', and 'The Third Biological Weapons Research Center of the Alien Research Institute'...Obviously, these places are former The biological warfare research institute conducted by Era Civilization relies on dragon blood.
There are indeed many strange beasts around these research institutes, among them there are semi-mechanized tyrannosaurs that look like combat tyrannosaurus, and there are also huge dragon birds with metal wings, and there is even a "dragon machine soldier" with a partial human form .
It looks less like a dragon than a knight covered in insect carapace. Only the key places have dragon scales and claws, which makes it very powerful.
However, even in the ancient and stronger world of Terra, these biological weapons using pre-epoch civilizations are absolutely impossible to surpass the 'sublimators' who have developed for more than a thousand years... because the sublimators are the world of Terra The most complete and powerful biological weapon that condenses pre-epoch civilization and the essence of many kinds of fire.
Even without Ian's action, Anfa and Isengard completely eliminated the group of strange beasts in ten seconds. The process was so simple that it could be described as "the sword is drawn, it's seconds".
"It seems that a large number of alien beasts were mobilized to attack the exploration team before, which consumed the third layer of reserve defensive alien beasts, and even the lair had no troops to defend."
Ian analyzed that this is actually normal. After all, this is the real world, and it's not a game to spawn monsters. A lot of monsters poured out in an instant—after defeating the initial army of alien beasts, there were no more monsters in a short time. There will be a strange beast attack on the scale before.
After defeating these strange beasts, everyone also entered the research institute to search. Some disappointed but not unexpected, there was no storage device such as chips inside the research institute.
Presumably, no matter if it is the dark gold giant dragon or the researchers of the pre-epoch civilization, after the disaster from the sky makes it impossible to carry out follow-up research, they will definitely not continue to store the research materials in the research institute, but move them to a safer area.
"I feel a little scary..."
Xiou stretched out his hand uneasily, touching the empty training chambers inside the laboratory, and the real dragon girl muttered to herself: "How far has the cooperation between the pre-epoch civilization and the real dragon reached? Why did the ancestors of our real dragons, those second first Three generations of true dragons will join hands with humans to sign such a contract to provide dragon blood as experimental materials?"
"I'm sorry, Ian, and Yisen, I don't blame you...but I'm a real dragon after all. I saw my blood being abused by humans in this way, and even made various biological weapons. I had a...strange feeling .”
"Um…"
Compared to waving his hand to show that he didn't care, and even wanted to comfort Xiou's Isengard, Ian fell into deep thought.
He squinted his eyes, stared at Xio, and also at the training cabin next to him.
—The first generation of true dragons, the ancestor true dragons, are pure space battleships. They are the creators, that is, the tools and partners used by the star gods to transform the universe and observe the civilizations of the stars.
—The second-generation true dragon has some life characteristics, but in general, it is more like a super existence like some kind of biological tool than a dragon or a living thing.
—The third generation of true dragons, the generation of the steel dragon, has the characteristics of life. The third generation of true dragons bred from the tinder is essentially the result of optimizing the biological information of the tinder to which they belong. The different shapes but the same extremely powerful posture have contracted the "true dragon" in the eyes of the people of Terra. image of.
Then, the fourth generation of true dragons, the generation of the king of the mountain...the true dragons even regained, or in other words, possessed the ability to reproduce naturally.
The fifth generation of true dragon Xiou is the result of their parents' birth.
It seems that the true dragons are weaker from generation to generation...but the true dragons are also releasing their shackles from generation to generation...the first three generations of true dragons have a lifespan of only 500, and the fourth generation of true dragons seems to have this shackle...
But what about Siou?
Ian has never heard Xiou complain that he slept in the lair for a hundred years and consumed one-fifth of his life...or Xiou really doesn't care about this one-fifth of his life, or else...
"Is the process of the gradual biological transformation of the true dragon really the research of the previous generations of true dragons?"
Opening his mouth suddenly, Ian's words immediately attracted the attention of Xiou and Anfa: "If you say, these cruel and meaningless studies in your eyes...maybe it was the contract between humans and dragons in Terra back then. The foundation is also the foundation of humans with dragon blood like you and me, and true dragons that gradually become more like natural creatures?"
"This...could it be said that humans and real dragons were mutually beneficial and fused with each other..."
Hearing this, Xiou also thought of this possibility, and she couldn't help opening her eyes wide: "Humans help our real dragons gradually become biological and get rid of the shackles—and real dragons help humans develop the power of sublimation and integrate the blood power of monsters?!"
"I see!"
And Isengarde, who also has a certain amount of 'dragon blood', perhaps also some kind of artificial tool biochemical blood, also figured this out, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yes... the foundation of the sublimator may be built on the blood of the dragon. On... only the blood of the real dragon can bring together many completely different monster organs, those incomparably powerful sublimation structures, without causing fatal conflicts!"
"What Ian said before, the people of Terra are all descendants of dragon blood... and the fact that human beings can practice true dragon blood naturally proves this even more!"
"It's just a guess, but I think it's very likely." Ian said in a deep voice. When he was about to reach the place where the abyss was, he looked sideways to the right, and then raised his right hand: "But now, we have to put the Competitors settle."
"I don't know which exploration team's dear friend has been eavesdropping for so long, should he come out?"
After Ian finished speaking, a stern black light rushed out from the research institute on the side, like lightning, and rushed towards the head of the white-haired boy.
But the closer to Ian, the slower the speed of the black light, and when the black light was within three meters of Ian's body, it had already stopped.
It was a pitch-black, covered with hoarfrost, black tentacles like octopus tentacles, but there were no suction cups on the tentacles, only a colorful black fluid stream like oil rolling and flowing.
Ian didn't even draw his sword, he just used **** to transform the sword, and the void cut towards the tentacles a few times, the black tentacles that could dash at supersonic speed shattered into pieces of black jelly-like matter, and then burst into pieces. Ice dust.
The next moment, Isengard, who was looking unhappy, activated the flaming blood column, which penetrated the direction where the black tentacles attacked, and the black-red flame burned the metal rock, melting and evaporating all the substances in that area.
But this is obviously not enough, Xiou snorted coldly. Although her prosthetic body is weak, it can be used as a carrier to release the power of the real dragon dragon soul—as the emerald green eyes of the dragon girl turn into golden lava, a mass of virtual fire It will appear in the center of the area hit by Isengard before.
That is to say, under the double flames of the material void, a figure appeared in the broken psionic debris of the void barrier.
"Elger the Thinker?!"
And Anfa exclaimed: "The capital of learning, the chief of Qingyue Spire?"
"Why did you come here and attack us?"
The visitor was none other than the leader of the Exploration Team of the City of Knowledge, the genius psionic scholar known as the Thinker, Elger Qingyue.
However, unlike the original impression of the silent and knowledgeable black-haired scholar in everyone's eyes, Elger, who appeared in front of everyone, has an extremely bewitching and inhuman aura.
Appeared from the virtual environment, a thin young man with jet-black waterfall long hair floated in the air expressionlessly.
He is wearing a scholar's robe, and his appearance is very neutral. If it weren't for the fact that she knew her gender a long time ago, maybe everyone would think that this is a long-haired beauty.
But at this moment, the long black hair behind the beauty was dancing wildly without wind. The silk-like long hair was twisted together to form the "black tentacles" that attacked Ian before, and Elger's black eyes were flowing. There is an extremely abnormal purple radiance, a kind of breathtaking, mental control fluctuations that can't help but want to sink into it, emanating from it.
Of course, one of the people present is a prophet, two have dragon souls, and the last one, Isengard, has just awakened the blood of the sun bird.
But even so, Elger in front of him still gave everyone a feeling of extreme danger.
"No."
After a short period of surprise, Anfa frowned. She clenched her chest, the 'chip camera' that was originally used to transmit images, but now it is used to determine whether her life is safe or not. She said in a deep voice: "Your You don't have a chip camera on your body, you're not Elger!"
"What kind of monster are you, why pretend to be him?!"
The young man wearing gold-rimmed single-frame glasses did not answer Anfa's question. No, it would be better to say that from the very beginning, Elger had no one else in his eyes.
At this moment, his eyes were firmly locked on Ian. The abnormal, but extremely hot eyes made the white-haired boy who is used to being watched by thousands of people and can chat and laugh happily with the fourth-level powerhouse a little bit. Not very comfortable.
Because, this is the look of looking at the 'prey'.
【What exactly are you? 】
And at this moment, 'Elger', who has almost never spoken in front of people, spoke, and he said in a hoarse, but quite gentle and calm voice: [What are you... a non-human body, a non-human soul ...What kind of monster are you? Why is there no trace of you in the virtual world, why are your fluctuations so different from those of this world? 】
【Are you a prophet? But the Prophet cannot be like this... There are two completely different shadows behind you...]
【What exactly are you? 】
"There are still a lot of questions?" Ian raised his brows, he was really interested in this strange guy who secretly started tracking him and others halfway.
Whether this person is 'Elger' or not, his strength is unquestionable, and Ian has to make a move instead of stopping his probing attack by manipulating the source quality with his thoughts.
Isengarde joined forces with Xiou, who has the third-level dragon soul, to force him out of the void... This strength is not inferior to that of Ainar or Garr.
And the questions he asked are also very intriguing.
Of course, there is no need to say more about the non-human body. The body of the Pioneer of Steel is not a human being nor a sublimator, but a new generation of super biological foundation that surpasses the sublimator. Ian even took his heart out. It is true that the peculiar biological structure cannot be called a human being, or a general sublimator.
The soul of a non-human is simpler—Ian is the founder of the meditation method who can carve his own soul. His soul structure is almost exactly the same as the calculation structure in the silver chip. Or if the star **** is even closer, it is indeed not a human soul.
As for the virtual world and fluctuations... Ian thought at first that the other party could see his identity as a time traveler, but after thinking about it carefully, hey, he has been in the third energy level for so long, with a perfect mind, light and body, a person whose strength is lower than his How can a person see his mind, light and body clearly? And in the back, the two completely different shadows are probably referring to the link between the swarm path and the spiritual disaster path in the "Guiding Star" of the heart light body.
Understanding what the other party asked, Ian became interested in the other party—because being able to see this is enough to prove the extraordinaryness of "Elger" in front of him. The other party's attainments in the Void Realm and Soul are probably not as good as even a Void Realm Dragon like Xiou.
So, Ian decided to use the silver chip after earnestly using the predictive vision calculation.
—If you look at me, I will also look at you.
You say I am not human, but I want to see what you are!
Silver light flickered.
Ian saw information that almost surpassed his imagination and shocked him.

Ian didn't know about the Beast of Thousand Stars, but Sister Reflecting Light did.
