Chapter 1,344 Resurrection Test

Dealing with the Xiling Apostles is a very worry-free thing most of the time: they have no desire for power, do not like to beat around the bush, are absolutely loyal and absolutely united; they take the interests of the race as their starting point, and on this basis they will always make the most correct decision Choose, and put personal demands in eternal second place; they are willing to accept arrangements with "implementation value" and will not be affected by any personal feelings. If something is beneficial to the group and has enough execution value, then a Xiling Emperor will even be willing to run to the enemy-occupied area alone and perform a nine-death mission like a super soldier - Shandora and I did both Such a thing has happened to me, but the latter is due to the nature of the Xiling apostle, and I did it because...because there is nothing else I can do anyway...

In short, as long as there is no force majeure - such as being infected by the abyss - the reliability of a Xiling apostle is 100%. They make judgments like machines and are as accurate and trustworthy as machines.

Harlan happily accepted my arrangement. From this point of view, he is much better than Belavera.

"Are you finished talking?" A slow voice sounded next to me. Harlan and I raised our heads and saw Sylvia standing side by side with Xiling in front of the table with a warm smile, "I want some juice. What?"

"Okay, have some more," Harlan still looked awkwardly at this silver-haired mole who had the face of Belavera but looked like a silly girl, "and give me two more pieces of this, it tastes good. "

I looked at Harlan's hand, and he was holding a small half piece of golden cake. It was Sylvia's favorite snack: a small round cake without water. What Xiaoxue said was confirmed, and Harlan met the piece of cake that was inevitable in his destiny...

Sylvia stood there and reacted for a while, then turned around to prepare juice and snacks. Xiling sat down next to me with a smile and started to concentrate on the pastries in her hand: In theory, this special life does not need to eat at all, but she He has added "eating" to his program. For Xiling, this is probably equivalent to a recreational activity.

Harlan was silent for a moment and said with emotion: "The life here is completely different from what I imagined. The atmosphere of the city is also very different from the empire in my impression."

An apostle who has just awakened from the nightmare of the fallen, whose memory is still stuck in the glorious years of the empire, is probably not suitable for the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere of Shadow City, let alone a large group of "low-level civilizations" and imperial troops mixed in. The state of one piece. Harlan's lament was also the original lament of the Carlo brothers, but they will soon like it here: I am very confident about this.

But some people are not so easy to put this exclamation aside. As soon as Harlan finished speaking, I heard a gust of fragrant wind blowing next to me. A voice like exploding beans yelled diagonally above him: "Don't eat it if you can! I'm still resting here after eating and drinking well, and finally said, 'This is not the life I want' - Pretentious.”

I looked up and saw a silver-haired creature with Sylvia's face looking at Harlan with a narrow smile: This is Bella Vera who has come on shift. I was talking about why she hasn't shown up yet: This Raven King has a bit of a bad personality. Every time a new fallen apostle is caught in the Shadow City, she always criticizes someone she knows for unknown reasons.

Harlan was stunned by this series of troubles. Look at Sylvia as if you were looking at a monster: People who come into contact with the latter for the first time are like this. As soon as you adapt to the rhythm of talking every second, the other person suddenly starts talking like Guo Degang, and another person with fragile nerves It’s easy for them to be choked to the point of terminal necrosis – Bella Vera also takes pleasure in this, her character is so bad that she takes pleasure in any prank.

I poked Harlan's elbow and whispered, "This is Bella Vera who woke up from her sleep. She wakes up from time to time and is scary."

"Don't think I'm pretending to be a corpse," Bellavilla put the snacks on the table and taught Xiling how to use a straw instead of licking the drink in the cup with his tongue (the latter lacked common sense) actually reached this level). Finally, he turned to Harlan, "It's been a long time, old man. Last time I was pushed into the Void Storm by Occam, I thought I was going to kill you. Not long ago, I heard that you led your whole family to invade, and I thought you were going to kill me. It's ahead, I didn't expect that both of us were so lucky that neither of us died..."

Harlan and I were both in a cold sweat: Bella Vera's mouth really can't say anything good. I miss Sylvia's tone of voice every second...

A few seconds later, Harlan smiled as if he was relieved: "Yeah. I feel a little more familiar now. The way you acted just now almost made me think you were beaten stupid..."

"You will know in a few days. In fact, apart from speaking normally, there is no difference between Sylvia and I. She is a protective personality created by me to pursue the life I long for. You can think of it as a Xiling The truest side of the apostle after giving up all the restraints of reason," Bellavilla said, while unceremoniously pulling away the things in front of me and stuffing them into her mouth: it is also a strange thing in ancient and modern times to be a store manager in her position, " Well, Sylvia is good at her craftsmanship... How about it, Harlan, are you disappointed?"

Harlan was speechless and could only shake his head with a wry smile: "You have changed a lot, but you seem to be doing well."

"Well, this guy has a lot of shortcomings, but it's very interesting that he has toiled this empire." Bellavilla squeezed my arm as if choosing something in the market, "I didn't even think about it when I first woke up. I'm used to it, but now I like this kind of ordinary life. I just shared something from Sylvia, do you want to continue doing what you are doing? Why don't you learn from me? How easy is the semi-retired life? ah……"

I glared at Bellavilla. If she dared to trick Haran into retiring like her, I would kidnap her to the Imperial Military Headquarters!

Fortunately, Harlan was very determined. He had no good impressions of Bellavilla's "decadent" life. Instead, he began to vigorously persuade the latter to regain his fighting spirit and return to the battlefield: after learning that the powerful and ruthless Raven King in the past was now He is willing to bake cakes for others, and the only apostle's duty he usually fulfills is to fish for three days and dry nets for three days to train a few soldiers, or to provide ideas for the urban construction department. Harlan expressed great regret, even though he had just returned to Greece. The team of spiritual apostles now began to do ideological work for Bellavela, but the latter dismissed everything with one sentence: "I am like this now. If I am more active, I will fall asleep anytime, anywhere, and then I will be fucked head-on. You let me go to the battlefield when you bump into a silly girl who has to think about whether to hide for three minutes? Do you really think it’s a pity that I’m not dead?”

Then Harlan stopped talking nonsense.

"Na. Na..." Xiling suddenly poked my arm. I saw cream on her face, and I helped wipe it off: "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty Sandora and Tavel are calling you," Xi Ling said, ripples of light appeared on his body like water ripples, and then in the blink of an eye, he turned into the image of Sandora, using the same words as Sandora The voice said, "Arjun. Come to the research center. It's important."

I was stunned by Xi Ling's sudden move: Although I knew she could transform into anyone, I really didn't expect that she would actually do this when sending messages to people. What a high-end video message function this must be. ——Video message with full 3D high-fidelity surround sound and physical perception system, Xiling, do you dare to have more functions?

"That's it," Xiling, who turned into Sandora, scratched her hair with a dull expression. She clearly looks like the cold, arrogant and noble Queen, but she makes actions that are completely inconsistent with this image. It's really strange to me. Xiling's last words made me unable to shut up, "Hey, I just grew taller." What's it like?"

Me: "...so you don't have to look like that person when delivering messages to others in the future."

Xiling was still trying to change back to her original appearance. After working hard for a long time, she finally gave up. Then she chatted with Bella Vera in Sandora's appearance. I curled my lips. He stood up and said goodbye to Harlan, and explained the rest of the matter: "Sandora has something to ask me for, please take the first step - you can use the public database as you like. It just so happens that you are also planning the development plan of the abyssal apostle. In addition, Zadom is better than you. Recover two days early, he is now living at the headquarters, and I will also organize him into the Abyss Independent Regiment, so that you can have all the soldiers under your command."

Harlan waved his hand domineeringly: "Do your business, I'm not a new recruit!"

I hurried to the research center, feeling quite anxious. Because I heard Sandora's tone just now being very urgent - okay. It was very urgent to hear the voice copied by Xiling. I was worried that there would be some fatal experimental accident here: Tavel had done something like blowing up half of the research institute. Although it has been less than two years, is it possible for ordinary people to guess the lower limit of a mad scientist?

As a result, when I arrived at the research institute, I found that everything was normal here. Not only was the building intact, but there was no rescue team in sight. Groups of Tavel and groups of other technicians were busy in an orderly manner, and many people even With joy and excitement. I followed the directions in the spiritual connection to the central area. In the largest laboratory, I saw a Tavel and a Tavel analyzing the experimental data of two other Tavels together with three Tavels, as well as several Tavels. Weir was helping several other Tavels lift a coffin-like device onto the multi-functional analysis platform. Several Tavels came over to say hello to me... I looked around dizzy and found that this huge laboratory was as big as a football field. Nearly two-thirds of the staff are Tavel quality projections! Assistant technicians only account for a small part, and they are all busy on peripheral equipment - this must be a super important project, so the glasses lady has mobilized a lot of her threads to this place, but my first reaction is still It feels like I'm in South Korea and watching the clone beauty contest... Well, Tavel is quite beautiful. It won't be a problem to win the first and second place in the Korean clone beauty contest for the rest of my life.

I was so shocked by a group of bespectacled girls that I became confused.

I quickly found Shandora among the piles of Tavels, thanks to her striking golden curly hair, otherwise it would have been really difficult to find her. Shandora and Tavel were standing in front of a platform in the center of the laboratory to discuss matters. I walked over and patted her on the shoulder: "Good guy, the battle here is really big - what are you doing?"

"We are trying to resurrect our ancestors." It was Tavel who answered me. I found that this Tavel was a little different from the surrounding mass projections: there were no jittering interference lines on the edges of her body, and she looked more real.

"Ah, Tavel, I haven't seen you in your true form for a long time," I hurriedly greeted the girl with solid glasses, and then realized what she had just said, "Wait! Are you resurrecting your ancestors?!"

"It's just an attempt, and it has failed many times." Sandora said softly, stepped away from her body, and pointed to the alloy platform next to her. I looked in the direction of her finger, and then I saw a crystal container embedded in the platform. The container looks somewhat similar to an Egyptian coffin. I recalled it for a moment, and then I remembered that it was the inner part of the ancestral dormant cabin found in the far world.

And inside this crystal coffin, a middle-aged man with gray hair and beard lay quietly, with a peaceful expression, as if he was sleeping.

"My subordinates have created a new universal interface to be compatible with the ancient dormant equipment, which is this experimental platform. We have also created a series of facilities to decipher what is going on in the material 'stasis' in our hometown." Tavel Her voice was a little brisk, and it seemed that she was very sure about the whole plan, "Your Majesty, you know that things from the home world are in a strange 'stagnant' state. This stagnant state preserves the remains of the ancestors, but also makes it difficult to resurrect. Heavy: Reactivating the physical body while stasis is in effect appears to be impossible. The tissue always quickly returns to its dead state - but now we have made a breakthrough."

"By reactivating the flow of information, we can now break the stagnant state," Sandora raised her finger and pointed upward, "As long as this device is activated, all the hometown matter in the stagnant state within the laboratory will be permanently restarted, and the resurrection process can be It went on normally.”

Following the direction of Sandora's finger, I saw a complex and huge machine installed on the top of the laboratory. It looked like a ring formed by interlacing crystal clusters and hexagonal metal plates, which was constantly emitting Pulsing flashes of light. In fact, I saw this thing when I came in just now, but at that time I thought it was a laboratory decoration, a new ring light tube was installed... Okay, let's respect ourselves.

I could only listen honestly from beginning to end. After all, I didn’t have much say in these high-tech technical matters. But at this moment, a feeling that I couldn’t say was happy or uneasy began to fill my heart: resurrecting the ancestors, this amazing thing The plan has never felt very real to people, and the time span is too long, which makes me feel that this is an almost dreamy project. However, Tavel has now reached this stage?

It was originally thought to be a fantasy project. Now it is actually placed in front of me in such a real way. I feel a little short of breath, and it feels like you usually dream all day about inheriting a fortune. I never thought that this would come true, but one morning when I opened the door, I saw an old man wearing Arabic clothes standing outside, holding your legs, "I am your long-lost father. I have more than 20 children." oilfield……"

...Basically, it feels like this, very unreal, very dreamy. Although full of expectations, it also makes people more uneasy - what if the Arab uncle ran away from the Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital next door?

I was running around with these random thoughts in my mind to calm down. It seemed that Sandora had already made up her mind to let her ancestor open her eyes, and technically, this project was really possible. But then I suddenly thought of a logical question: "If the stasis is released, will the ancestor's body begin to decay?"

"Theoretically, this is true," Tavel nodded. "Although the stagnant state does not mean that time stands still, there are similarities between the two in terms of physical phenomena. After the stagnant state is lifted, the materials that make up the ancestors' bodies will no longer be immortal. They will Counting from the moment the body dies, it slowly decays and decays like normal matter - they are mortals after all, and after death, the body will decay."

"We can use technical means to delay or even completely prevent the decay process of these remains on the material level," Sandora took over, "but the key is the soul... If the souls of the ancestors are also preserved in stasis, then as long as the experiment When the device above the room is activated, the souls will begin to dissipate together. Because the soul fluctuations of the ancestors have not been captured so far, I am afraid that even if the soul still exists, it will be too weak to be preserved..."

"Ola came earlier today," Tavel said. "She is the most powerful leader bee and has extremely high sensitivity to souls, but even with her strength, she was unable to sense the ancestors. The existence of the soul. The soul of the ancestors may have dissipated, or it may be too weak. Let us first assume that it is the second case. Then after the stasis is lifted, the time left to us will be quite limited: there is no way to delay the soul of the ancestors. The dissipation process. This is the theory.”

I understood what Tavel meant: Even if the soul of the ancestor is still alive, it is too weak to "extend life" by any technical means. This means that the resurrection process will be like a race against the clock: once the stasis is lifted, we must complete the resurrection before the soul of the ancestor naturally dissipates.

Of course, the worst case scenario is that the souls of the ancestors have disappeared countless billions of years ago. Sandora and Tavel's current efforts are all wishful thinking. Even if the resurrection is successful, they can only get a blank body - —But I guess everyone present is not willing to think about this.

When the words "time is precious" are mentioned, the first thing I think of is of course Qian Qian. Her ability to "buy time" goes without saying, but I soon felt that it was unreliable: for obvious reasons, The ancestor's soul must be in a "free" state during the entire resurrection process, and Qianqian cannot interfere with this process.

The last shortcut was blocked.

I looked at the remains of my ancestors lying quietly in the crystal coffins, and realized that I would soon witness history.

Success, or failure, will be revealed in a very short time. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m. to read.)
