Chapter 883 The Information Revealed by the Hymn

Chapter 883: The information revealed by the hymn

"Hey, hey! Come on! It's time to sing the praises!"

A loud voice came from outside the door, interrupting Glick's conversation with us. He stood up happily and said, "Ha, the party has begun! Shuizhu, hurry up, get ready to go out."

The little girl named Shuizhu put down the half-eaten hard food in her mouth and ran to open the door. This is indeed a child who doesn't like to talk. From just now to now, she has been hiding alone in the corner far away from us. She was eating her own food in a far corner, looking at strangers like us with careful eyes. Only my sister managed to chat with her for a few words. We could only learn about this little family from Glick’s mouth— —Just out of curiosity, we are curious about how the most ordinary brother and sister like Glick live in this twisted world.

"Grick, where are your parents? Are you the only two siblings in the family?"

Saeko inadvertently thought of this question, because we have never seen any adults in this small family from the beginning. It is said that today is a rest day in the town, and all the adults who usually work at the metal station will rest at home on this day. But so far, the only one who has appeared in front of us is a little girl who doesn't talk much - where are Glick's parents?

"My mother passed away very early. When I was five years old, she worked at the heavy element manufacturing machine and got infected." Glick's expression was a little sad, but not too sad. I think he died very early. I accepted this fact when I said, "Dad hasn't been home for two years, but he is a great man!"

When Glick mentioned his father who had not been home for two years, a look of pride immediately appeared on his face: "He worked on a large ship and even took a spaceship to the 'Little Triangle Island' at the end of the world, where he found I got a brand new vector engine! It’s not easy for someone from a small town to work on a big ship. A few months ago, I received news from him that he wanted to work on a big warship. As long as he worked for one year, our family would be happy. He's a member of the upper class. But I haven't heard from him recently. I heard people say that you can't contact the outside world casually when working on a warship..."

"Brother, it's time for us to go out."

The thin sound of water droplets interrupted Glick's somewhat excited narration. The thin girl put on a brighter skirt. The material of the dress looked a bit like plastic fiber, and it was shiny. It could be seen that This has to be one of the best pieces of clothing in this little home.

There were already many adults gathered in the circular square. I looked around, and there were about one or two hundred people in my sight. This settlement was indeed not big. These two hundred people were all the adult residents in the town. They were all wearing dim colors. They wore old coarse cloth work clothes and had strong muscles on their bodies. They had strong bodies that were tempered by years of hard work in metal stations. Even the women were the same. They spontaneously formed several circles around the center of the square, similar to the blood-red triangle in the center of the square. The metal table of the emblem was kept at a distance, and old Barnard, whom he had met once before, was standing on the triangular emblem. It seemed that he was indeed the mayor of this town, at least the most virtuous and respected old man, so-called The "Hymn Celebration" was presided over by him.

A dozen children ranging in age from four or five to twelve or thirteen years old were running around the outer edge of the circular square, as happy as if they were celebrating a festival. They were shouting and playing, and some bold ones would even take advantage of the opportunity. The adults suddenly slipped into the square without paying attention, crawling under their feet, and then were yelled at by their respective parents and thrown out of the circle: when singing hymns, children are not allowed in, they can only stay outside. play.

Qianqian was attracted by such a novel and alternative activity, and was jumping up and down outside to get in. However, Bingtis was more mobile than us. She had already led the five-person group of protoss to occupy the center of the square. , the townspeople there unconsciously vacated a large open space, but no one paid attention to the group of five: Apparently Monina had used divine power to distort the place, causing the surrounding people to Man is blind to himself.

Qianqian immediately joined the circle of five people with a lot of shouts, and even dragged Yakumo Ai and Busujima Saeko with a look of great interest...

Glick felt very baffled by the sudden "disappearance" of several of us, because he was also one of the mortals affected by Monina's power, but the child's nature did not allow him to think too much about this aspect after all. Soon, several children about his age ran over and invited Glick and Shuizhu to participate in their activities. Glick still proudly introduced the "guests from the big city" to his friends this time. , these almost became his conditioned reflex words after meeting the residents of the town. Shuizhu turned to look at Lilina before being called away by a girl, and asked expectantly: "Do you want to play together? ?”

Lilina's expression was stunned for a moment: "...Huh?"

"Bring this doll..." Shuizhu pointed timidly at the mercury lamp that was dozing on my shoulder. The latter raised his head in a daze, reacted for a few seconds, and began to frantically toss my sleeves and try to Pull out my head and keep yelling.

Glick’s sister is really eloquent. I am very worried that she will invite Pandora and Viska to participate in a bunch of little girls’ movie games next. That will definitely be the beginning of a disaster that is enough to trigger the end of the world. Nothing can Compared to being invited as peers by a group of little girls with an average age of ten years old, there is nothing more arousing the resentment deep in Pandora's heart - Is it easy to grow 1.2 meters tall? Looking at the malnourished water droplets, they were almost as tall as her!

In order to save the world, I quickly found an excuse to ask Glick to take his sister to accompany the naughty children, leaving behind Lilina who was already immersed in resentment and the mercury lamp who was still biting my scalp crazily. The greatest bishop muttered unhappily. As the spiritual pillar of hundreds of millions of believers, she was invited by a group of naughty children just now. This was absolutely a shame and humiliation for her. The little girl gritted her teeth and muttered for a long time, and suddenly stood up with great momentum. : "No! This appearance is simply too inconvenient for action! Sister Sandora, please help me intervene, and I will transform!"

We understand what Lilina said about transformation. Every now and then, she will change into a royal sister, a girl, a young woman, etc. to hang out, but even though she is disguised on the outside, she is still a 1.09 meter tall guy in her heart. , Sandora helped interfere with the perception of ordinary people around her, and Lilina turned into a 1.70-meter-tall royal sister with long hair and splendid hips in a burst of green light. She also specially changed herself into a girl from Gianna. The emoticons were copied there, and then they jumped up and down...

I ran over to find those little girls playing hopscotch.

us:"……"

Dare I ask if it makes any sense for you to go and hopscotch with those little girls after you have grown more than 60 centimeters?

"Haha! That fool!"

The mercury lamp on my shoulder almost made me laugh, and then another burst of light flashed next to me. Before I could react, I saw a tall girl about 1.7 meters tall rising up from behind everyone and covering my sight. She walked out from behind the black shadow, and she still had a face that looked like Pandora's slightly grown-up - this was Pandora pulled out.

"Let's go find Lilina!"

From the mouth of the combined version of "Pandora Godzilla" came the overlapping double voices of the Pandora sisters. After the combination, the short winter melon, which was 1.7 meters tall, looked at the pseudo-loli who was also 1.7 meters tall after the transformation in the distance, with a look in her eyes. The cold wind was so severe that my sister quickly reminded me: "Remember to come back quickly so that you can be together for five minutes..."

"It's ten minutes now!"

The double-dwarf winter melon glanced at his body quite proudly, then stepped towards Lilina's direction, but after taking only two steps, he turned back and hit me in the face with such force that it was as fast as jingle bells. After giving it a peck, he walked away...

It's normal for Pandora and Visca to rub against me, but after they merged, it was really hard for me to react, so I was stunned for a few seconds on the spot, and just then What is the mercury lamp doing in these few seconds?

She stormed off resolutely...

It was no big deal that Lilina suddenly transformed into a royal sister and struck out gorgeously in front of her. Even the little doll was still interested in complaining about the pseudo-loli priestess's malicious act of playing cute and playing hopscotch. But then she saw the most hardcore person in the whole family. The short winter melon has also turned into a one-meter-seven-meter-tall combination, which is different. Looking at my unshakable 92.3 body inside, the little tempered doll girl started to go crazy and curse and bite my head, and I had to rush around. He coaxed the child: "Good boy Xiao Deng, don't envy them just yet. Have you forgotten that you are still over 100 meters tall?"

Mercury Lamp thought so at first, but the second thought was bad: "Aren't there more than 20,000 more than half a meter high?!"

Everyone: "..."

The daily life of a naughty child is simply too overwhelming.

At this time, the rally in this weird town was about to begin. The attendees were all the adults in the town. They formed a circle with the mayor as the center, and the old man Barnard was saying something in a measured tone. , he held an old information terminal in his hand, and the glimmer of light emitted by the terminal cast a blue glimmer on his face. It was still evening when we first came here, but now it is night. This is the first night we have seen in this ruined world. Like other things in this space, the night is also man-made: the neatly arranged shapes in the sky The large fusion reactors gradually dimmed, until they were so dim that the naked eye could easily observe the metal rings around them used to generate strong magnetic fields. The surrounding light gradually dimmed, and the street lights in the town lit up at the right time, the brightest The light is this small circular square. Several lampposts around it are making a low buzzing sound. The luminous crystals on the top are becoming more and more dazzling, making the place look like daytime.

A few strong men moved out a sound device. It looked like a large resonance system for broadcasting on the bridge, but it had been modified in a crude way, using a lot of messy connecting wires and Mr. Barnard. The data terminals in my hands are connected together (it seems that the network function of that thing is broken?). This big thing that was used to broadcast to the bridge can now only emit music that is seriously insufficient in volume and out of tune. It sounds hoarse and unpleasant, and even It was not a tune, and the residents of the town sang in unison with a festive look to this soundtrack:

"... Praise the ancient gods for creating this world. Praise the ancient gods for giving me endless wealth. They left everything for us so that we can always have enough food and clothing... They piled up the whole world with beautiful resources and took everything from them. Inexhaustible, they water the universe with infinite energy, so that we will never have to worry about darkness..."

A chorus of more than a hundred big and thick metal workers, accompanied by something that is out of tune from the first note, plus its lyrics are so convoluted and without rhyme, this hymn Of course, one can imagine how pleasant it is, but everyone is very involved, and it seems that they are really praising this "beautiful" world with a grateful heart. Sandora and I looked at each other and listened to the weird tunes all around us. The chorus sounds, I feel a bit embarrassed...

And when we think that this world is actually the remains of a destructive war in Huesca, we feel not only embarrassed, but also have a strange feeling in our hearts.

At this time, the hymn had sung to the last few bars, but these last few words suddenly caught the attention of Sandora, me, and even my sister:

“…the treasures of the world can be found everywhere, the legacy of the gods is endless, we have brilliant machines that can draw clean water and sacred food, but these are all gifts, and we should follow the teachings carefully…We cannot leave the world , cannot leave home, cannot leave the universe, outside the borders of God, there is endless darkness and brokenness. We can enjoy heaven forever due to the protection of the barrier, but deviating from the teachings will lead to disaster! Those who stay away from the three stars will be exhausted. Those who are far away from the Great Ruin Ring will be displaced, and those who are far away from the stormy sea will be shattered to pieces!

Praise God! "

This chaotic hymn with strange rhythms and no contradiction ended in a burst of praise for the gods. My sister leaned over and whispered to me: "It seems that in this world, exploring places beyond the ruins is Prohibited."

"And it is prohibited as a religious force. In this kind of social system, the power of religion is probably the most effective means of restraint." A clear, sweet but unfamiliar voice sounded in my ears. I turned my head and saw I don’t know when the royal sister version of Lilina came over and lay on my back without realizing it. Immediately, the soft touch gave me goosebumps - mainly because of Shan next to me. The subtle look in Dora's eyes for a moment made people feel great pressure. Without saying a word, I hit Lilina on the head, knocking her back to her 1.09 meter prototype: Although the warm fragrance of nephrite is a kind of enjoyment, but you It depends on whose nephrite it is. This weird girl Lilina is definitely not an ideal welfare officer. They say women are made of water, but I have a thousand reasons to prove that Lilina is actually made of aqua regia - believe her. Just wait until your bones are melted away!

"Hey, boss, I really don't understand coquettishness. I don't want to give you such a charming body." Lilina rubbed the bag on her head, looking up at this side with her miserable height of 1.09 meters, and even sent a charming person to her. She rolled her eyes, and then she became serious under Sandora's increasingly bold gaze, "It's easy to see, the three stars refer to the three largest ruined planets in the center of this space, the Great Ruins Ring The belt refers to the large and small spacecraft debris floating in space as well as the floating islands and satellites where the debris has accumulated. As for the storm ocean, it is undoubtedly the area where the flagship is currently parked, that layer of 0.3 light-years thick. Energy enrichment zone. Exploration and mining of the ruined planet and the Great Ruin Ring are allowed, but you will be warned if you leave the Great Ruin Ring to explore the Storm Ocean. As for going deep into the Storm Ocean or even trying to pass through it - local The church curses that kind of person to be shattered into pieces, which is incredible.”

"But the logs we got from the Eternal Mothership that crashed on Mars contain many coordinates in the psionic energy enrichment zone." Sandora rubbed her chin with a serious expression, "In other words, that ship is still It’s unusual.”

"Now I have connected the things," Sister reminded us as she remembered something. "Do you still remember the video in the flight log? It mentioned that the spacecraft was being attacked by some fanatics."

"It may be that the religious power of this world is intercepting the pioneers trying to leave this universe," I suddenly realized. "In this way, we can finally understand why the spacecraft was destroyed."

"But that doesn't mean anything to us, does it?" Sandora shrugged, then picked up a strand of blond hair and twisted it around in her hand, "I don't care why the ship was destroyed. I just want to know the reason why this world was created, and who Viska was fighting here back then... Look at the scale of the debris in this universe, the fragments of the spaceship even formed several planets, it is very likely that they were half the size of Viska back then. The Legion of Destruction is here, and such a large-scale battle must not be a simple encounter... Moreover, the barrier that separates this space from the void is also very curious. This kind of technology definitely did not exist in the old empire era. , at least I have never heard of it. The war that broke out here 720,000 years ago not only destroyed a universe, but also left a network structure that cannot be explained until now. This is really curious. In addition Besides, what is going on with the indigenous inhabitants of this universe? Why do they appear in the wreckage of the Legion of Destruction and worship the legacy of Visca? Are they a vassal race of a certain emperor in the old empire or even a vassal of Visca? Race? Each of these questions is more curious than the last."

Shandora's words aroused the unanimous agreement of several of us. Indeed, as we stay longer and longer in this ruined world, we understand more and more about the "post-apocalyptic life" here, and our curiosity is gradually aroused. It seems that these things Sandora mentioned are only a small part of the curiosity, but the exact information is too little now. It may take some time to figure out the truth of 720,000 years ago... …
