Chapter 173 Touched the Black Ball (1/4)
The blue river, the magnificent building complex, the beautiful woman, and the long green embankment beside the river, this is a world full of vitality.
But Zhang Yuan clearly remembered that he was still in the barren and desolate river valley the moment before he had time to enter the hole that Xia Xiyan discovered, why did such a change suddenly occur around him?
Everything around this is too bizarre.
'Will this be some kind of illusion?' Zhang Yuan thought so. When the woman asked, he did not answer, but stared at the other party hard, trying to find a flaw in the other party's expression.
After a closer look, he found many strange details. The woman's face was very round, similar to a human, but her auricle was not round, but pointed. In addition, every detail on her body was almost perfect, without a trace of vicissitudes, perfectly not like a real person.
"What the hell are you?" Zhang Yuan raised the arm of the Death Angel and pointed it straight at the other party with a crystallized krypton gold heavy sword.
The beautiful woman didn't care about Jianfeng in front of her. She smiled and said, "Customer, answer me, am I beautiful?"
"You are beautiful." Zhang Yuan nodded and admitted this, which is an undeniable fact.
"How beautiful is it? Is it worth sacrificing everything for?" the woman asked again.
Zhang Yuan frowned. He couldn't understand the other party's intentions. He simply told the truth: "I will not make any sacrifices for such superficial things!"
The woman chuckled lightly, then reached out to brush the golden hair that was blown by the wind of the river. Every movement was full of indescribable charm, and there seemed to be a poem hidden in every expression, which could easily arouse Zhang Yuan's mind.
Zhang Yuan felt this and turned his eyes and refused to look at the other person.
"You are such a powerful warrior, especially in your heart, very strong." When the woman spoke, she reached out and pointed to her heart gently. Zhang Yuan looked along her jade-like fingers and saw the soft curves on her chest and the scenery that was looming under the fog-shirt skirt.
Zhang Yuan obviously felt his heartbeat accelerate, and he felt like he was kneeling under the woman's skirt and giving everything for her.
The impulse was really a bit terrifying. He took a deep breath and bit his tongue hard. The severe pain came and he instantly recovered from his awakening.
"Speak quickly if you have something to do, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!" Zhang Yuan shook the crystal krypton gold sword in his hand and made a clear sword sound.
The woman sighed softly, and the smile on her face slowly faded. She whispered: "Soldier, I want to make a deal with you."
Zhang Yuan was in a panic: "You said."
"Take me out of this dead world, protect me, and help me resurrection."
"What can I get?"
The woman asked back: "You will get everything from me. Isn't this the best gain?"
Zhang Yuan suddenly felt that the woman was narcissistic, but he had not found a way to leave this place for the time being, so he patiently said: "What are you? Technology intelligence? A memory program? Or something messy? What can you give me?"
"I am the spiritual body, and in your world mythology, it is the soul. When I have it, I am the high priest of the Temple of Star Spirits, and I watched the world destruction with my own eyes. At the last moment, I sealed my spirit into the deepest immortal stone in the temple... Over the years, I have been waiting for the opportunity to be reborn, an opportunity to help me and my race rebirth."
"One of my comrades also heard your voice, why didn't you choose her?" Zhang Yuan thought of Xia Xiyan, but Xia Xiyan obviously did not enter this illusion.
"She is far less powerful than you and cannot bear this important task."
"There are many white-skinned and red-eyed demons on this planet. They and the kingdoms they have established are very powerful, much more powerful than me. Why don't you choose them?"
The woman shook her head: "I naturally thought about this problem, but in the eyes of these red-eyed foreign tribes, I look very ugly, and this beautiful scenery is also disgusted by the other party. Obviously, the appearance of our tribe completely deviates from the other party's aesthetics, and naturally cannot arouse their sympathy. Even if we are reborn because of interests, we will become enemies in the future... Why bother?"
Zhang Yuan suddenly realized in his heart. No wonder the woman kept asking him whether he was beautiful at the beginning. It turned out that it was not entirely because of narcissism, but because of testing his aesthetic view.
Thinking of this, he asked, “I need to see the real interests, the benefits that are good for me and my race.”
"I am just a priest who focuses on practicing my soul. I can't give you anything except myself... But as long as you take me away, everything in the temple belongs to you."
This condition immediately made Zhang Yuan feel excited. He looked around. Everything around him was as usual, with the blue river, the dim sunshine, and all the majestic buildings. He poked out his mecha's arm and touched the railing beside him. The touch given by the force feedback system was exactly the same as the real thing.
"Where is this? How to get out?"
"You are in my sea of consciousness. What you are here is really illusory, it only depends on your heart...Okay, time is limited, I will tell you how to take me away next."
Zhang Yuan hurriedly said, "Wait, I have one last question!"
"Hmm?" The woman in white dress looked at Zhang Yuan with bright eyes and waited for him to ask.
"How did your tribe destroy?"
"Because of artificial intelligence, our tribe has highly developed artificial intelligence. They have helped us to free all labor. We live carefreely, just like the legendary gods... But the good times did not last long, the internal logic of artificial intelligence mutated, and they were out of control."
As he said that, the woman sighed softly and looked sad: "Do you know? Technology is not always a blessing. It is a black box. Every scientific and technological achievement is a ball in the black box. There are white balls, red balls, and black balls. Touching out the white balls can help us live better; touching out the red balls, you must use them with caution. Touching out the black balls... That's what we are now."
After saying that, she looked up at Zhang Yuan: "Latecomer, come here, there is not much time left."
"I haven't agreed yet..."
"Your heart has agreed." The woman smiled. After saying that, she gently pointed her finger at Zhang Yuan, and a little white light flew out from her fingertips, and instantly penetrated into Zhang Yuan's mind.
"Bang" Zhang Yuan felt that something had hit his head hard, and it was buzzing. Then he felt that many clear pictures appeared in his mind. These pictures were very clear, and every detail was clear.
"I look forward to your success, a latecomer." The woman in white said last and then disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yuan found that the world around him began to fade and dissipate. With a flash of thought, his eyes once again turned into a desolate river valley filled with white sand. Teammates appeared on the screen again. The hole in front of him was still vaguely flashing, and the back of the Black Cat Queen was leaving.
Zhang Yuan looked at the time and was surprised to find that only a second had passed, and his teammates did not find any abnormalities.
There was still a female voice in her mind humming desolately. Zhang Yuan carefully identified it and found that this voice was actually the priestess in the previous wonderful situation. The tune she hummed was the most famous requiem "Voice of the Heart" in the Eternal Empire where she was.
This song can best reflect the voice of the heart. If the heart is desolate, the tune it sings will be gloomy and cold. Obviously, the priestess who have been waiting for countless years must be filled with despair.
The information he received in his mind was very rich, covering all aspects of the Eternal Empire. This information not only told him how to enter the temple in this way, how to avoid traps, how to open the mechanism, and obtain the immortal stone, but also infused all aspects of the empire's customs and cultural crystallizations.
Through this information, Zhang Yuan seemed to have traveled through more than 30 million years and came to the ancient eternal interstellar empire, observing everything in this empire from a overlooking angle.
He was stunned for a moment.
"Master, please follow me quickly." Seeing Zhang Yuan stunned on the ground, the Black Cat Queen urged her.
"Oh, here we come." Zhang Yuan took a few steps, controlled the Angel of Death and followed, and walked all the way into the sudden entrance of the cave.
The Eternal Empire was extremely developed in technology. Not only were their buildings built on the surface, but there were also extremely developed architectural communities under the ground.
When the disaster caused by artificial intelligence came, almost all the buildings on the ground were razed to the ground, but some of the buildings under the ground were still preserved.
The passage in front of you is one of the entrances to the underground building complex.
Walking in the passage, after walking about 50 meters, a very spacious hall appeared in front of me. The hall was about 30 meters in radius and the four walls were smooth, as if it was the end of the passage.
Xia Xiyan looked back at him: "Zhang Yuan, there is no way ahead."
"No, there is still a way."
Zhang Yuan continued to walk forward and walked to the end of the hall. He controlled the Angel of Death to grop on the wall, and soon discovered the very secret bumps on the wall.
"There are hidden doors on the walls. After opening them, a new passage will appear behind the walls. Next, we will cross 200 kilometers underground to reach the temple in the center of the gray and white plains. Along the way, we will encounter many challenges and everyone will be energetic."
"Challenge? Captain, how do you know?" Xia Guanhaiqi said.
Zhang Yuan looked at Xia Xiyan and asked, "Can you still hear that song?"
"I can't hear it." Xia Xiyan looked puzzled.
"I can still hear this voice. This voice contacted me just now and told me a lot of things."
While speaking, Zhang Yuan pressed down the depression on the wall.
"Clang clang clang clang clang" A 20-meter-high and 15-meter-wide door suddenly appeared on the wall. After the door retreated 3 meters, it turned into a white spot of light and disappeared into the air. A dark passage appeared behind the door.
Almost at the same time, a strange laugh suddenly came from the dark passage.
"Hehehehahahahahahahahaha" laughter, and it sounded in people's ears, making people feel creepy when they hear it.
Xia Guanhai's lava trolls almost jumped up, "Damn it! What the hell!"
"What's the situation?" Wang Shiyan, who had always been calm, was also not calm.
Xia Xiyan directly picked up the high-energy rail cannon, and the Black Cat Queen shrank and hid behind Zhang Yuan's Angel of Death.
