Chapter 776: Sandora’s Memories

But it is said that some people in the world are born with bad luck. They are stuck in traffic and drink water to fill their teeth. They go up to the sky in an airship and encounter a thunderstorm with a level 12 storm. When they go shopping, they meet aliens who look for evidence of cultural relic excavation. When they lower their heads to pick up money, their spines can be broken. Any stone found in the ruins will trigger an alarm. There are three types of people, one is the one who offended the elder sister, one is the spearman, and the other is the Zaku.

When the gate of the ruins, which was no longer able to operate, suddenly closed quickly with a harsh friction sound, and an increasingly strong roar came from under everyone's feet, Uncle Zaku stood up and said seriously: "I may have committed a crime. Made a mistake."

The technological level of the ancient civilization was obviously much higher than that of the people of Mobrador today. Neither Zaku nor Biruna expected that the energy system in this place could be restored to operation. Now it seems that there is an 80% possibility that Uncle Zaku triggered the alarm device of the ruins when he attacked the priceless psionic crystal here. In sight, the gates around the hall fell one by one, and with this At the same time, the lighting devices on the roof of the hall were also turned on one by one. I didn't expect that after such a long time, the light bulbs in this place were still so bright. Pandora and Viska immediately took out the triple six-barreled cannon from their pockets and pointed it in a certain direction in the hall as if they were carrying beams: from there came the sound of mechanical friction that was getting closer, and it was the guardian of the ruins. By.

Zaku was surprised by the huge weapons that Pandora and Viska suddenly pulled out. What surprised him even more was that all the detection devices in Biluna's hands were burned down: these simple instruments that are extremely sensitive to psionic energy detection When the energy emitted by the two one-meter second-hand weapons was reached, they, who had only been able to detect trace amounts of psionic energy reactions in ancient garbage dumps, suddenly felt unprecedented satisfaction, and happily ascended to heaven and became Buddhas.

Because the instruments only burned down in an instant, Biluna had not had time to confirm the reason for their burning. She could only attribute it to the operation of the ruins' defense system, so she quickly reminded everyone: "Find a place to hide first! The ruins guards are coming. Got it!"

I was just about to say that Pandora and the others were here, and we might decide who was going to destroy the other later, when Zaku grabbed Milia and me and rushed to the corner of the nearest corridor. Suddenly there was a crowd of more than 20 people behind us. They also followed him laughing and jokingly, and huddled together at the entrance of the corridor, which was not very spacious. The space here is very narrow. The space behind us has been blocked by the corridor gate. There are more than 20 of us pushing and shoving together. Naturally, we can’t squeeze in. Ibuki Suika’s big horns and Cirno’s wings are both exposed. Yakumo Lan sensibly used her tail to roll herself into a furry ball again. No matter who pushed her, she could not move. Magni, the little old man, was firmly pushed to the outside by a group of monster girls, and now he started to yell angrily. He was making a lot of noise and swinging his hammer, while the sound of mechanical grinding coming from the other side of the hall was getting closer.

Uncle Zaku watched these twenty-odd scourges laughing and joking like spring outings in front of the ruins defense system, and tears came down: "I'm begging you! I really made a fucking mistake this time!"

My sister and I quickly put on a majestic posture and shouted to everyone to stop making trouble. My sister's majesty was still very reliable. Everyone finally calmed down and huddled in the corner with playful expressions, holding their breath, each preparing skills or weapons, planning to ambush The ruins guard and even Uncle Zaku took out a weird-looking pistol. Looking at the triple barrel, you knew it was not a good thing. And just as the uncle finally wiped away his cold sweat, the two gates opposite the ruins hall finally opened again, and the so-called ruins guards walked out.

A group of things that might be called combat robots. I mean, if I had to classify them, they should be considered robots.

I have never seen such weird machines. They look like octopuses with teeth and claws: the ruins guards are a group of black mechanical bodies with a spherical core about half a meter in diameter, with countless red lights flashing on it. Small lights, and between these small lights, there are a large number of mechanical arms as thick as a bowl, dancing in the air like the tentacles of an octopus. These arms are symmetrically distributed, which makes it impossible for you to distinguish the up, down, left, and right of these mechanical guards. When they move, they are like rolling sea urchins. Each mechanical arm is curled up to facilitate movement. The noisy and harsh metal friction sound just now was made by these sea urchin robots when they were rolling. I didn't see what weapons these "guards" carried, but it's easy to guess that their attack methods should be related to those tentacles. There is no doubt that they have the power to kill any kind of magical girl with one hit.

Oops... I seem to have thought of some strange scene just now.

I silently glanced at Cirno, who was peeking out with her head curiously under her armpit, and pushed her back: "This kind of thing is not suitable for you to deal with."

"Although I'm not sure, the boss must be trying to distort something," Lilina blinked her cute big eyes at me at a 45-degree angle, but the words in her mouth were not cute at all, "Because Pao and I Pao is also thinking wrongly."

You think I have raised a bunch of lolita!

"This kind of thing..." Uncle Zaku clenched the giant pistol in his hand, with cold sweat running down his face. "It is actually the most difficult thundercloud mutant robot to deal with. The tops of their mechanical arms are all photon cannons, which can simultaneously It fires dozens of shots with no blind spots, and not only does the attack have no blind spots, but it also has no blind spots when moving. It is impossible to aim when rolling around. The Templar Knights of the Blue Church do not dare to deal with such guards easily. Go up. Damn it, is this ancient ruins a military base?!"

Pandora tugged on my sleeve and made a 9 sign, which meant that it would take her about nine seconds to deal with these weird-looking fighting machines, but her intuition told her that this girl definitely did not intend to use weapons that could be used in the atmosphere to deal with them. fighting.

"Hehe, it seems that I need to play," Muradin suddenly said in a sullen voice, "Stretching your muscles after drinking is the most anticipated thing - I have a plan!"

Everyone immediately focused their attention on him.

"I'll go up and use taunt later, then block the camera angle and gather all the thorny balls together. Aren't these little girls good at barrage? You use all your firepower to destroy them!"

This old dwarf drank too much or played too much wow!

But I have to admit that it is not easy for Magni to formulate a combat plan, and I am also very curious about what the warrior's taunting skills look like: If my memory is correct, I have never seen a Salvation Army warrior unleash this kind of complete Unimaginable skills, so Paopao and I cast our expectant eyes on Magni at the same time. The old boy proudly picked up the sledgehammer and turned on the psionic shield generator on his belt (he had not yet completely (Drinking high), then charged forward, and rushed to the middle of the hall in a flash of lightning. Such speed made Uncle Zaku's hands tremble, and he almost hit Magni's head with two shots.

Magni smashed the sledgehammer on the ground, and the whole hall suddenly seemed to shake. Then he put one hand on his hips and pointed the hammer at the sea urchins in front of him, and launched a group taunt with great enthusiasm: "You guys are covered in xx with hairy nose, I will x your uncle!!!"

The power of the taunt was full. When Magni came back, half of his body was covered in smoke. He was hit by nearly a thousand high-energy beams, and his shield was destroyed in an instant.

"They don't eat ridicule."

Magni burped, and his whole body smelled of barbecue.

At this moment I was finally sure that this old boy really drank too much.

At this time, dozens of "sea urchins" or giant octopuses in the hall have successfully attracted Magni's attention and discovered the hidden intruder - in fact, I suspected from the beginning that Uncle Zaku suggested that we hide Feasibility in corners, there is no reason why such a powerful fighting machine should not be equipped with a more advanced search device. Accompanied by a harsh scraping sound of metal, the guardians with wildly dancing tentacles quickly locked onto the enemy and rolled around the entire hall irregularly, only dazzling people, followed by dense laser beams. Covered us. Although these grotesque fighting machines are ugly in appearance, their practicality cannot be underestimated. They can truly maneuver and shoot without blind spots, but their ingenuity in design cannot make up for their lack of strength. Pandora's random shield proves that even The tentacle monster can't harm a magical (fog) girl who has reached a certain level. Then Lilina proved another thing to the other party:

Magical girls (correctly) actually use tentacles more.

Glowing with a green halo, vines that were stronger than metal pierced the alloy floor of the hall, tying up all the rolling sea urchins. Lilina stood in front of the immobile sea urchin battle robot, looking very impressive. Said: "Separate——"

Then all the tentacles of the sea urchin were pulled out, leaving only a smooth black iron ball rolling crazily on the ground. If they didn't blow up in the end, it would have been a pretty good victory.

Fortunately, there was a very excellent defense expert accompanying him. Ilson used the holy light barrier to protect everyone immediately, including Lilina who was a little stunned because she couldn't dodge. In the end, we didn't lose anything except Lilina's face.

After getting rid of the guards at the entrance, we randomly chose a corridor that looked pleasing to the eye... It was actually the corridor where Sandora felt the strongest energy reaction. We continued deeper into the ruins, leaving behind us the Half of the entrance hall had collapsed when the guardians blew themselves up. Uncle Zaku began to look up and down at our group of guys who didn't look like an adventure group, and Biluna simply asked about Lilina and Ilson's skills just now. It is true that Mobrado has magic-like mental skills, but summoning vines that can strangle ancient guards and using a beam of light to block fatal close-range explosions are obviously not among these mental skills.

Of course, she didn't ask anything in the end.

"You don't look very good."

Bingtis deliberately fell behind with us and whispered beside Sandora.

Sandora has been worried since just now. At this time, even I felt that something was wrong with her, so I looked at the blond girl next to me with concern.

"It's okay, it's just... I might have thought of something." Sandora shook her head with a complicated expression, "I'm not sure, but they are indeed a bit similar, just a bit similar, there are still differences in their actual appearance... I mean, just now I'm somewhat familiar with those machine sentries."

My steps stopped at this sudden revelation, and I opened my eyes wide: "Have you seen this kind of thing? During the old empire?"

Did Mobrado's so-called ancient civilization actually exist in the old empire? Then they had an encounter with Sandora? Wait, it’s not just that. This is the remains of the old empire. Ancient civilization developed from the remains of the old empire. Could it be said...

Several guesses ran through my mind in an instant, and finally Shandora's words confirmed my guess in a certain way.

"They are one of my former vassal races. This kind of weird-shaped machine sentry is unique to their race. Many of their machine units have this weird look. I used to be very fond of them, but I didn't bring them with me in the last expedition. Enter the army of this vassal race. I had almost forgotten about those vassal races of my time. I never thought...that their remains would appear here."

I think my expression must be very wonderful now, because Sandora looked at my face and burst out laughing: "Ajun, your expression is really... are you so surprised? I thought you were used to appearing in your life. All kinds of super expansions. Although...I am not much calmer than you now. It is really a fate."

I don't know how to answer, but through the spiritual connection, I can feel that Shandora's mood is ups and downs like mine. I thought it was just an ordinary, somewhat playful "tour of the head of the empire that harmed the indigenous people." ", but I didn't expect that the plot would suddenly expand to such an extent.

An ancient ruin, an ancient ruin that was once a vassal civilization under Sandora's command, is there anything more shocking than this?

In fact, I should have noticed it a long time ago. Ever since I collected more and more information about the world, Shandora has become a little worried. She may have noticed something a long time ago, but I slowly thought that this person was always there. In her strategizing state, Her Majesty is simply thinking about the upcoming war.

Thinking about it now, Sandora has experienced countless wars. The biggest battle we have experienced since the revival of the new empire may be ordinary in her opinion. The criticality of the battle situation may make her nervous, but it will never The only thing that will make her worried, and make such a calm Her Majesty the Queen full of worries, is probably the only news left from the old empire.

"Are you sure?" Sister's voice sounded in the spiritual connection, and she followed us behind.

"No, not sure." Sandora's face remained normal, and she also began to talk to us through spiritual connection. "There have been too many changes. Now I can only say that there are many things in this ruins that are similar in style to those of my former servants. , but it’s only close. I don’t know what changes that civilization went through after I left them, and what destroyed them... I had high hopes for them, thinking that they could at least develop stronger. It’s a shame that we didn’t expect them to fall on this planet.”

"If Sandora's judgment is correct, is this world... a colony of the old empire? Or the mainland?"

Onee-sama suddenly thought of a very direct question and said in surprise.

A cautious light floated in Sandora's eyes: "I'm not sure, which is why I still can't make a judgment. The various parameters of this universe are different from what I remember. I remember this vassal race back then. The universe we live in is not like this, and the composition of galaxies is also very different. The information sent back by the reconnaissance planes makes me feel familiar but weird. This world... is like looking at familiar things through a distorted mirror, and I can vaguely see them. Judging its appearance, people still dare not draw conclusions. But if this world is really the place where those servants once lived, this is one of the colonies of the old empire. Although it is not the mainland, it is directly in the old empire. Under the rule. I hope those reconnaissance planes that have entered deep space can send back more detailed information soon. This is really worrying."

Sandora said in confusion, and it could be seen that she was very entangled with this issue now. At this time, Bingtis also came over. She listened to Sandora's analysis, and then hugged her good friend carelessly. Shoulder: "Ha, why are you thinking so much? This foresight and hesitation is not that of the Warsong Princess back then. In my opinion, it was probably something similar to a shock wave that was generated when the old empire was destroyed, which affected the world on the border. As for here Things are different from what you remember... Maybe your vassal civilization survived for a while after the destruction of the old empire, and they were not allowed to continue to develop on the ruins for hundreds of years? Look at this underground ruins, so It’s thick, and it’s probably a doomsday shelter. If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it. If you really want to know the answer, just rely on your brain. This is my life creed!”

I have to say that this female gangster's life creed still makes some sense. Shandora also knows that it will take time to reveal the truth. She nodded, with the same calm and reliable face as always: "Let's move on. Now I have a deep understanding of this ruins." Already very interested.”

"Hey! Those in the back, stop dawdling! Getting lost in such a dangerous place is no joke!"

Uncle Zaku's voice suddenly came from the front, interrupting the conversation between me and Shandora. Only then did I have time to look up, but I was immediately strangled: Qianqian, my elder sister, and Lily. Na could forget it. He could explain that Pandora and Huesca were so attached to each other, and it was easy to understand with Bubbles by his side. However, the remaining twenty or so Gensokyo tour group and a short winter melon named Magni were also with them. What's going on with the people forming a circle around them? Are you guys playing around with the people on the 20th forming three or four concentric rings and moving simultaneously? !

"I don't know what happened, but I saw you two lagging behind on purpose, so I followed you." Lilina said.

"I don't know what happened, but I saw you two lagging behind on purpose, so I followed you." This is Yakumo Lan.

"Same as above." This is Reimu.

"Same as above." This is a bubble.

"Same as above." This is Marisa.

In order to reduce the number of words, I will not list them one by one below.

Ding! Will you die if you don't get out of the situation for a while? !
