The video footage had not been tampered with.

Just when everyone thought the live broadcast was about to end, Gu Xingmiao's words were just a revelation of his inner confusion. When he spoke -

However, they found that the video that was supposed to have ended suddenly flashed and a second video appeared.

This time the video was a little shaky. Compared to the calm first video, the second video seemed like it was filmed temporarily in some dangerous situation.

The people present could even judge from the sound that there was a roar inside, as if some hot weapons were being used for bombing.

"...I was a little surprised, but this kind of brazen behavior feels a bit like asking for a beating. Who would have thought there was another video hidden behind the video?"

"This is like a nesting doll within a nesting doll. It's absolutely disgusting. Let me see what the second video is about."

"Could it be that the first video is just a scam? If someone wanted to open the Economic Ark, they would definitely end the video quickly after watching the first one to get the key below, and then they wouldn't be able to see the second video..."

"If what's said above is true, then if someone who didn't see the second video picked up the key as described in the first video... would that really be the key?"

"Damn, netizens have such wild imaginations. It's terrifying to think about what you're saying."

When people appeared in the video again, Gu Xingmiao saw his older self again.

The expression on Gu Xingmiao's face had not changed. She just stared at the video, looking at the face, trying to capture its specific emotions from the slightest changes in its expression.

Is that person the self who has never traveled through time?

Or is it yourself who has traveled to various worlds of passers-by?

Or maybe you experienced fast travel, even went to the future, and then returned to your past self?

It's such a mess, it's a terrible mess.

When the woman in the video lowered her gaze, it was as if she were two people who had crossed dimensions and timelines. Gu Xingmiao and "Gu Xingmiao" had a secret communication through their eyes.

This communication is silent, but it is like huge waves crashing against the shore in the depths of the soul.

"If you can see this video, it means you have passed the test again." Gu Xingmiao controlled the shaking camera and gave a polite smile to the camera.

But she looked a little disheveled, and even her face was not as delicate as before, and there was some dust on it that came from nowhere.

And behind him was still the roar of artillery fire.

"If you picked up the key after watching the first video, then I regret to tell you that you will not be able to actually start the Ark, and you may even be taken to the Ark Prison by robots." Gu Xingmiao's tone was clearly smiling, but everyone felt a chill down their spines.

And these people's eyes turned to Gu Xingmiao with some sadness.

Gu Xingmiao: "...This really has nothing to do with me, don't look at me like that."

For some unknown reason, I had a feeling that I was being condemned, that I was the one being accused.

But even I was shocked, okay?

Everyone, including 01: “…” They should have been nervous about this dangerous and exciting moment, but for some reason they felt a little tired.

Who could have imagined that people 4,000 years ago could be so capable of such extraordinary operations, nesting one thing within another like nesting dolls, with every step being a test?

It's really too cunning.

If they take a wrong step, it will be clearly wrong, step by step, and there will be no room for regret.

"Of course, now is the time to truly hand over the keys to the Ark, because you have passed the test."

"Gu Xingmiao" walked forward while talking. Everyone saw that the whole scene in the video seemed to be a laboratory, and there were several people wearing white coats around her, who looked like assistants.

Even though there were constant explosions around, everyone looked exceptionally calm.

"This ark was built with the utmost effort from all of China. Time was extremely tight, and there was only one, so I apologize for using such a crude method to select the pilot."

"But we have also prepared for the worst. By the time you see this video, the Chinese people may have already perished, and the time may have passed by a thousand years, and we don't know what year it is."

Gu Xingmiao continued walking deeper into the laboratory while speaking these words. When she reached an extremely tall aluminum alloy door, she suddenly stopped and turned her head: "But in short, we have done the last and best."

"The Ark is fully stocked with supplies, and the knowledge and civilization available to humanity is also recorded in a special way in the black box..."

When "Gu Xingmiao" in the video said this, 01 couldn't help but say, "Black box? What black box? Our ancestors never mentioned the existence of black boxes when they landed spacecraft on new planets and developed human civilization."

"Neither the documents on the optical computer nor the special archives at the Union University have ever recorded this..."

As soon as 01 finished speaking, "Gu Xingmiao" in the video continued talking about the same topic.

"Of course, if the black box isn't found, there's no need to feel sad. It just means that even with this method, we can't resist the only impact..."

"The disappearance of civilization is helpless, and the remains of humanity are being erased bit by bit - but the most important thing is to survive."

“Don’t grieve over the loss of civilization even temporarily.”

After saying these words, "Gu Xingmiao"'s tone became a little lighter and he opened the locked door.

Everyone saw one black box after another, just as the name suggests -

These are probably the sparks that contain the secrets of human civilization. China's history of tens of millions of years has been compressed into one small box after another, stacked up layer by layer.

It turns out that when people left Earth in the past, they didn't completely abandon civilization. They also took fire with them. However...

For some reason, the fire disappeared after arriving on the new planet.

Let’s not talk about whether they have ever seen the black box. All the humans in the alliance have never even heard of the black box. How could such an important memory not be preserved at all?

"But there is one option that I hope for the most, and one that I feel has the least hope—"

"Gu Xingmiao"'s eyes became serious, and even the faint smile on the corner of her mouth completely disappeared. She looked at the video screen formally, and her words became pronounced word by word.

"If the person who could see my video was my past self—"

"Remember, don't answer."

"Don't answer the night or the day, don't answer the abyss!"
