Chapter 1096 Assembly Hall

The giant stood quietly under the huge arch. Now we know that this is not a gate, but a relay node. What the giant is really guarding is not an entrance, but a set of tools that can switch the Forgotten Garden back to reality. The relay device of the world, he faced our direction, inserted the scepter in his hand into a groove next to the arch, and said calmly: "I will continue to wait for the return of the master."

"What if I can't wait?" Lin Xue couldn't help but ask.

Although theoretically, we are the "masters" he is waiting for, in fact the giant's words have another meaning: what he is waiting for is not the ordinary Xiling apostle, but may be the one who split the fifteenth sky area back then. That emperor may also be the old empire that has collapsed and disintegrated. No matter which one he is, he is destined to be an existence that cannot wait. And even if we can be counted as the people he is waiting for, it doesn’t make sense. According to the giant, something has “severed” everything. He can’t identify the technology-side apostles of the Fifteen Days Zone who were separated back then. It can even be said that , except for the existing things in this remote world, everything outside is unrecognizable and untrustworthy to him. This barrier is extremely strong, and the giant himself does not seem to have any intention of eliminating it. Looking at the metal giant standing quietly in the distance, I suddenly felt that what he was waiting for might never come - this was a never-ending mission.

"Then continue to wait until everything is wiped out." The giant lowered his head, and the light on his body began to dim, as if he was going to sleep again. "That's the mission."

"Wait!" Just before she was about to turn around, Sandora suddenly noticed something and pointed at the giant's feet, "What is that?"

I don't know why, because there was nothing at the giant's feet, but Sandora must have seen something that concerned her. She led everyone to run to the giant's feet again, and the opponent was about to stand by. At this time, it started up again with a rumble: "Any more questions?"

"What is this, do you remember?" Sandora asked loudly, pointing to a location on the lower half of the giant's calf. Although it was not much higher than the giant's ankle, considering that the latter itself was more than ten meters tall, It was a huge thing, and it was at least one meter above the ground. I took a closer look and discovered that there was an inconspicuous dent where Sandora's finger was. There were some small grooves around the dents, and I cheered. He didn't take it seriously: "It's just a scar. What did you think it was?"

"It's not just a scar, don't you find that this height looks very familiar?" Sandora's eyes flashed with a strange look, her tone became subtle, and then she waved to Pandora, "...come here and stand here."

Pandora's expression was blank, but she still leaned over obediently. Sandora pressed the little girl's head against the giant's ankle, so that the dent was exactly level with the top of a short winter melon's head. See this. The surroundings were extremely quiet for a moment.

Me: "...It's exactly one meter and two meters tall."

Pandora suddenly hit her with a headbutt, and then kept hitting her with a headbutt. Until I pressed her little head.

"I know what's going on." The corners of Sandora's mouth twitched slightly, looking at Pandora who was still silent, but her cheeks were slightly bulging, "There are lines next to it, which are Xi Lingwen: Don’t erase it, that’s an order.”

I heyed twice, pinched Pandora's cheeks, and said nothing more. The giant looked at the group of "little people" at his feet in confusion: "What are you doing? It's really incomprehensible behavior."

"You really don't know when this was left?" My sister pointed to the horizontal line above the giant's ankle and asked in a weird tone.

The metal colossus lowered his head, and the armor made a sound of metal friction. He looked at the marks on his legs in confusion, and shook his head: "I don't know. Maybe there was something wrong with the automatic repair, and the core refused to repair this scar. This should have been the case back then. One of the master’s orders. Is this important?”

"Yes, it is very important," my sister smiled. "It is of great significance. If you wait a little longer, we must find a solution to the problem. No matter what is dividing the Fifteen Days District, my brother will definitely solve it. .”

After saying this, my sister picked up Pandora, who was silent and in a state of low pressure, and bid farewell to the giant for the time being. Oh, and say goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Charles - they can't enter the Garden of Oblivion together.

Pandora and Visca suffered a fatal blow to their dignity, and are now in a serious bad mood. If the last string in their heads hadn't collapsed, I think these two short winter melons would have wanted to press the giant to the ground just now. Ding-dang-dang: Although the latter's height actually exceeds the 1.2 meter hatred range between the two. And we quickly became dizzy in this magnificent white city. Without any instructions, 60 to 70% of the surrounding buildings were completely incomprehensible to me. Even the buildings they built If you don’t know the purpose and function of it, where should you start exploring it?

At this time, I really hope that the giant just now can provide everyone with a navigation map and turn on the main switch in the city - of course, these can only be delusions.

Although the Sky Tower was equally elusive to everyone back then, at least there was a functioning teleportation mechanism and defense system in the Sky Tower. Through the teleportation mechanism, Alaya could also decipher the tower's outer database. But there is nothing running in this huge city. Except for the rune arrays that provide energy on the surface of the city, which are still emitting a faint light, everything here is still, and there is no sound or sight. Anything that can serve as a signpost. Walking among these huge and gorgeous buildings, all that came to my ears was the hollow sound of wind and the sound of a group of footsteps beside me, which soon made Qian Qian complain: "Where are we going?"

"I can't tell which building is the core facility," Sandora had already released the probe before. We are now moving forward under the guidance of the holographic map returned by the probe, but there is a holographic image floating not far in front of everyone. There are more than 20 buildings marked as suspected key points. And distributed in every corner of the entire city, "relatively large buildings are possible, buildings at the core of the energy array are also possible, and main buildings surrounded by a large number of ancillary buildings are also possible. The key problem is that we do not know what the city is based on. I don’t know how they were planned, and I don’t know the driving principles of these buildings. In addition, everything is in a dormant state. To find places like databases or control buildings, we can only investigate them one by one.”

It's like suddenly dropping an Azerothian on the administrative planet Protos and asking him to go find the local police department. It's impossible to find the target even if you look at the map - and it seems that the Protoss don't have a police force yet.

Alaya flew in front of everyone, a hundred meters above the ground, sometimes hovering for a while, and sometimes suddenly rushing towards a strange building. She liked this place very, very much, but other than this "like", she Don't know anything about this place. The so-called liking is just because the appearance of this city is in line with her aesthetics, which makes me doubt it. This "Forgotten Garden" may have been where Alaya lived a long time ago - it must have been in the old empire. But now everything here has been erased from everyone's memory and knowledge. I started to ask Sister Angel expectantly if she could find some kind of "familiarity" or "kindness" from the surrounding buildings. Isn't that what books say? A girl who has lost her memory suddenly saw something. The inexplicable feeling of intimacy then opened the floodgates of memory recovery. I hoped so when I saw Alaya rushing towards those towers excitedly. But unfortunately, the complete isolation of information is more serious than expected. Apart from the fact that the appearance of this city makes her feel comfortable, Angel Sister has no feeling at all about this place.

"I thought this guy would at least have some reaction." Lin Xue suddenly muttered. Her eyes fell on the midair behind everyone, where a dull angel with thoughts was floating there. There is a thick rope tied around the angel's waist, and the other end of the rope is still held in Little Bubble's hand. The whole combination looks like a child dragging a hydrogen balloon, although the balloon is quite big.

"Little Paopao, be good, can you pull it for me?" Qianqian's eyes suddenly lit up, and she reached out to ask for the rope from Little Bubbles. Little Bubbles suddenly began to babble, and after discussing with herself for a while, she put the rope in Qian Qian held her hand, then raised her arm to tug the wings of the missing angel floating in the air, and started to explain. No one could understand what Little Bubble said, but the white figure floating in the air nodded slightly. "They can communicate?!" I was shocked and asked, pointing at Little Bubble.

Lin Xue shrugged: "God knows, two guys who can't communicate the most can communicate with each other after they get together. Isn't this setting quite touching?"

Qianqian dragged the kite-shaped missing angel, pulling her body while walking around, constantly making the latter face various strange and weird buildings around, and kept mumbling, look at this After watching the girl's weird behavior for a long time, I finally couldn't help but say, "You don't think she can be used as a radar, do you?"

Qian Qian nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course, after all, they are from this world. I think she should know the things here!"

Qian Qian thinks so, but generally, the things she firmly believes in are deviated from the real world to a certain extent - except for the fact that her boyfriend is very powerful - in fact, the angel with the missing body was just attracted by Qian Qian It's just dragged around and floated around. It's basically a standard balloon. The other party now occasionally responds to me or Little Bubbles because I can recharge her batteries, and Little Bubbles stays with her almost all day long. No one except us, father and daughter, can communicate with this luminous creature now.

I stepped forward and took the rope from Qianqian's hand: "Let me try."

The missing angel turned his body silently, apparently focusing on me. Qian Qian immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Wow! Ajun is so awesome!" Then Lin Xue, who was not far away, added angrily: "How awesome is that? How can this girl killer soak up a floodlight?" Did you get it?"

I ignored this sour prophet lady, but waved my hand in front of the missing angel, and said in as clear and slow a tone as possible: "Do you know where this city is? Or do you have any impression of it?"

The other party floated silently in the air. After a long time, he suddenly fluttered his wings and nodded imperceptibly.

I was overjoyed. I had actually asked her once when I first entered the ruins. But there was no response from the missing person at that time. Unexpectedly, the same question was answered at this time. Although I didn’t understand what was going on, I happily patted the tip of the other person’s wing to express my praise: “Then you know this Are there any important buildings or something like that? Can you take us there?"

The other party made no move.

"What's going on?" Lin Xue curiously poked the wing of the missing angel, "Bad contact?"

"Her mind is incomplete," Sandora tried to analyze, "so she can only answer questions when there is sufficient stimulation from external information. When she first entered the ruins, this angel couldn't even answer Arjun's first question. , but now there is an echo. Maybe it’s because we happened to come to a place that was enough to arouse her memories. There should be a place related to this missing angel nearby. The largest building nearby is this——" Sando La said, pointing to a circular facility on the map: "It looks like a party hall. It is very low, but it covers a large area, and it happens to be at the relay node of the city's energy array. "

Qian Qian thought for a long time and suddenly slapped her forehead: "Oh. So my initial method was right, Arjun Arjun. This angel can really be used as a detector!"

"The idea is right. The usage is wrong..." I sighed and saw Qianqian once again dragging the rope around the waist of the Angel of Missing Body and dangling it around. She also pulled on the other person's wings and tried to use them as antennas. Feel helpless.

Following the route deduced by Sandora, everyone first circled around the towers of several suspected functional buildings. After confirming that the missing angels did not respond, they collectively moved towards the large "assembly venue" in the distance. During this process, I always paid attention to the movements of the missing angel. As long as she showed any signs of becoming active, it meant that we were going in the right direction - I don't know if it was an illusion. Maybe the other party is really moving, the closer they are to the large building that seems to be a gathering place. This angel's wings seem to be getting a little brighter. But until we arrived at the destination, the other party did not make any more active moves.

Counting the two buildings that have been inspected before. The large arc-top building in front of us is the third facility that may be worth investigating. It is located on a small plateau near the central area of ​​the Forgotten Garden (actually I would rather call it the City of Angels). In front of There is a semicircular square that is wide enough for mammoths to run wild. Its main body is a large building more than ten meters high with multiple arc vaults. From above, it looks like many round biscuits stacked together. The radius of this building may be about two hundred meters, so although it is much lower than the tall towers around it, it covers a larger area.

Like other surrounding buildings, this facility that Sandora guessed was the "assembly venue" also has a white main color. There is a circle of golden patterns on the edge of the multiple arc vaults, and its arc-shaped exterior walls are The circles are slightly concave inward, and this architectural method of having arcs everywhere can be seen everywhere. The outer wall of the building was inlaid with shimmering blue crystal stones, but none of them seemed to be activated. We walked half a circle along its outer wall before finally finding a suspected entrance.

A golden metal ring is abruptly inlaid on the arc-shaped wall. One-third of the ring is buried underground. The overall radius of the metal ring is about five or six meters. The inside of the ring is a whole piece of sky blue. Crystal, although there are no features related to "doors" from these shapes, the only thing on the smooth and flat wall of this building that can connect people to the entrance is this piece of metal. A huge crystal ring fixed to the wall. And after we approached here, the missing angel immediately raised its wings. Such an obvious active phenomenon made us even more convinced that we had finally found something valuable.

"Brother Jun, I saw a sign!" Alaya flew around looking for a long time, and suddenly shouted happily: We have never seen anything like a road sign all the way here. I think it's because the city facilities are dormant. , causing all the road signs supported by projection equipment to go out, and now Alaya found a signboard nearby that did not use projection technology. It had something written in magic words. Alaya translated it for everyone, "Assemble" Hall—Second District. Second District?!”

Alaya suddenly remembered something and tugged my arm hard: "Brother Jun, there is also an assembly hall on the mother planet!"

"Mother star?" I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized: the angel sister should be referring to the mother star Gaia in the shadow space, "Then the assembly hall above?"

"Well, it's also called the Assembly Hall, but that assembly hall is the first area. I've always wondered why there is only one assembly hall called the first area on the home planet, but the second area can't be found. It turns out that it is in here."

"Is this a split phenomenon again?" My sister covered her forehead and sighed, "What is the assembly hall on the home planet for? Maybe the one here has a similar function."

Alaya thought for a while, and his expression changed quickly - I actually saw this guy who was always dazed change his expression quickly!

"That's..." Angel Sister suddenly looked at Pandora, "That's where the three hundred senior commanders of Pandora's heavy armored corps slept! When Brother Monarch woke up the commanders, those three hundred people were in the assembly hall. Woke up in!"

The surroundings were quiet for a moment.

"That is to say...if everything develops normally," Bingtis twitched the corner of his mouth and pointed at the door of the assembly hall not far away (suspected), "if you open this thing, three hundred people will rush out of it. Sparta?”

"And he definitely doesn't know us." My sister reminded me.

"And optimistically, he will fight us to death," Lilina raised her hand to show her presence, "The kind that won't give up until the brains come out."

I spread my hands helplessly: "Should it be opened or not?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
