Chapter 210 "Daily", the pendulum(1/2)
"Then what should we do next? Do we need to observe for a few more days? The time is still too short." Hua Xi said.
Lin Tuo thought about the abnormality he witnessed last night, hesitated, and said:
"Ning Meng doesn't have to wait any longer. Tomorrow I will ask the extraordinary beings in this world to cooperate with you."
"Okay." Hua Xi nodded, her face tensed, and she felt a lot of pressure. Seeing this, Lin Tuo broke the inexplicably serious atmosphere and said with a smile: "By the way, how do you feel about your first day of school?"
Huaxi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became a little nervous and hesitated:
"It's... quite lively and good, but I don't really understand the homework given."
"It's normal, don't think too much, go and rest." Lin Tuo asked a few more details about the school before sending Hua Xi back to the room to do her homework.
When the door closed, Hathaway sat on the ball and suddenly asked:
"Why do you need to let her go to school? If you just want to get a breakthrough from Ning Meng, there are plenty of opportunities. Why go around in a circle and put Hua Xi in there?
Is it just to give her a chance to experience? Or do you think she is too boring?"
Lin Tuo glanced at her and said nothing, but thought in his mind that this idiot usually looked out of place, but he was not stupid, and was actually quite smart.
There is a secret in Ning Li, and he should not mess with it for the sake of caution. It was indeed his idea to choose to attack Ning Meng, and the reason why he sent Huaxi there was because he really wanted to train the little girl.
The other thing is the longing and expectation in the little girl's eyes when she mentioned school to Huaxi.
Hua Xi, who walked out of the wasteland, had never really gone to school for a day. She usually didn't feel that way, but she had been on Earth for a long time. She occasionally went out to eat and saw her peers in groups, so she inevitably showed some yearning.
.
Although he never said anything, these all fell into Lin Tuo's eyes. The last time he returned from the Moon Sea Continent, he was not unaware of Hua Xi's disappointment in those few days. She always wanted to prove her worth.
But Lin Tuo took her out once when he played "Demon Slayer", but there was no follow-up, so that Hua Xi gradually fell into the role of his exclusive cook in Lishan.
This is not in line with Lin Tuo's original intention, and I believe it is not what Hua Xi likes. Therefore, by bringing her here specifically this time, I have the idea of further involving her to get acquainted with the business. Right now, sandboxes No. 4 and No. 2 have time.
Already synchronized with the earth, No. 3 will come sooner or later. After obtaining the follow-up breakthrough method of "Inhuman Realm", Lin Tuo already has some plans for the next step.
If there hadn't been an accident here, it might have been carried out now... In short, I have the intention to experience it, and I also have the intention to give her a brief experience of going to school here.
But it’s hard to talk to Hathaway about this. Thinking about it, Lin Tuo said:
"Have you edited the scenes you recorded during the day?"
"It's been done a long time ago. Check it out. According to what you said, your and Huaxi's images have been processed, but..." Hathaway said, pointing to her mouth, signaling that she needed to be fed.
Lin Tuo rolled his eyes at her, raised his hand and entered a ray of ether. She smashed it with her mouth, and then she condensed a compressed crystal ball symbol.
Lin Tuo raised his hand, wrapped it with ether, and quickly read it, then nodded with satisfaction:
"not bad."
Switch consciousness.
The body that was far away from Lishan woke up, raised his hand to call out the rune, and then put it into the "Xinghai Server".
"The website has been set up, so we can't keep updating it."
Lin Tuo muttered and started the instrument. In the subtle buzzing sound, the fine runes of the server lit up, and a faint halo spread out, covering the entire sea of stars.
A video was quietly updated on the "Spirit Network" covering areas around Yangcheng and New York.
…
On the Internet, the entire Internet has been extremely busy in recent days.
First, the emergence of the ghost website attracted global attention, and then it was promoted nationwide. The term "modern warrior" became extremely popular for a while, and it became a rapidly emerging "profession" and even a "class".
The just-concluded "Martial Arts Exhibition Competition" has aroused heated discussions across the Internet. Some of the warriors who participated became famous overnight, especially those at the top of the rankings.
Before the competition was over, a commercial company came to talk about endorsement issues, which surprised the organizers of Wucheng.
People's enthusiasm is far higher than they imagined. Some people have even begun to compare Earth's modern warriors with the extraordinary beings inside the black box in the "Spiritual Network" video. The conclusion is of course that they are no match.
But the thought of a warrior who has reached a certain level of cultivation and can fly to the sky and escape from the earth like those extraordinary people in the video and perform all kinds of "magic" is enough to make people yearn for it.
Unfortunately, to the disappointment of many people who arrived in the "covered area" from other places, the spiritual network disappeared after only a few days. Although some people speculated that this was only temporary, this is undoubtedly a very disappointing thing.
"Will the spiritual net appear again? Isn't this the end of the story?" Some people couldn't help complaining.
"Indeed, it has been several days, why is there no movement? What about the 'to be continued' that was promised?"
"Urge for updates, urge for updates..."
In the Yangcheng local forum, there are many similar complaints posted on the forum.
Suddenly, some new posts refreshed at the top:
"Updated, updated! The Spirit Network has appeared again, and a new video has just been released!"
The tone was full of excitement.
"Is Civilization III coming out?" someone asked quickly.
"No, it's a very strange video. You'll know it after watching it," the man said.
strangeness?
People who saw this reply were a little surprised and didn't know what was going on. Fortunately, many people in the forum were within the coverage area of the spirit network. They immediately picked up their phones and entered the home screen.
I focused my attention on the icon that appeared again, logged into the familiar page, and then saw a new short video:
"daily"
Introduction: One hundred years after humans return to the surface.
It is still a short but informative description.
The moment they saw this text, people realized that this should be the continuation of "Civilization 2", at least that's the timeline, but what does it mean for humans to return to the surface?
Many years later, the surviving humans walked out of the blizzard?
But if it is a continuation of history, why is it such a weird name?
They were puzzled, but the movements were not slow. As the video was clicked, people were surprised to see that the perspective of the short film was unexpectedly "closer".
The first two parts were mostly played from an overhead perspective and at double speed for countless years.
But this one has a very different style, without double speed, and is made up of video clips. From the perspective of a bystander, what appears in the picture is not a grand scene, but the life of a small town.
A city scene that is similar to the earth, with many similarities and many differences.
The entire film often lasts close to an hour, and most of the time is spent filming the lives of ordinary people in the city. There is no "photography technique", it is just a simple record.
It lacks the shock of the first two parts, but has a lot more sense of immersion.
"Is this... a city in the world inside the sandbox?"
"The will that controls the 'Spiritual Network' is showing me the details of an alien civilization?"
"Is that a training school in their world?"
Compared with ordinary people's curiosity.
In the Oasis Research Base, it has begun to play and record over and over again, sorting it into reports, analyzing, guessing, and constructing a complete picture of the civilization of the northern and southern continents.
Everyone knows that no matter what the spirit network wants to do, the information contained in this image is of great value.
But as they watched, people also noticed a special detail. The entire video seemed to be recorded following a certain "person from another world".
Many of the clips feature him, who seems to be a young man living in a house on an old street, with a teenage girl living there, and a brother and sister next door...
"However, in the entire video, there is no frontal view of this person and that girl." Professor Zhou said in the conference room of the Oasis Base.
Among them, Qi Liang, who was wearing a dark formal suit and square-rimmed glasses, also had a serious look on his face. He looked at the others, with the same doubts in their eyes:
"Who...are they?"
…
Central South Region, Four Seasons City.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of the "outside world", the city is as peaceful as ever.
In a blink of an eye, morning comes.
After breakfast, Hua Xi, who was carrying her schoolbag, followed Ning Meng next door and walked to school.
"Hua Xi, have you finished your homework yesterday? Well, it's normal for you to feel uncomfortable adapting to your new school. If you can't keep up, you can come to my house for self-study in the evening. My grades are pretty good."
Ning Meng said with a smile.
You need to cross two streets from home to school. The sun has already risen at this time. The streets are lined with trees on both sides. Huaxi and Ning Meng are walking side by side, and their shadows are stretched diagonally.
For some reason, there used to be some pedestrians and vehicles on the street at this time in the past, but today I didn't see any of them. It was eerily empty.
Ning Meng thought with some doubts, and saw Hua Xi next to her with her head lowered, as if she didn't hear her words clearly, so she called out curiously:
"Hua Xi? What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Hua Xi raised her head, looked at Ning Meng calmly, and then suddenly stopped.
"Why don't you leave?"
"The location is almost here." Hua Xi said something incomprehensible.
To be continued...
