Chapter 434 Independent Incident
The geothermal magma well in front of us is surging abnormally, and the huge introducer stands in it like a stabilizing force. Looking at the hot magma below, it is hard not to associate this place with the submarine volcano that Ryan mentioned before.
Even Lin Xian immediately thought that this thing might be directly related to the unusual movement of the submarine volcano.
"KIKI, based on the timeline of the Phoenix Society, how long would it take for Star Abyss No. 8 to expand to cover Haiyan Island?"
In the scorching geothermal cave, Lin Xian was leaning against a corner of the guide device, performing a mechanical scan, when he suddenly remembered something.
KIKI was floating in the air. Upon hearing Lin Xian's words, she immediately said, "As for Haiyan Island, it's been 9 days and 18 hours. Calculating up to now, this shouldn't be a threat, right?"
Lin Xian fell silent after hearing this. All the data had been calculated in advance before going out to sea. Lin Xian was a little confused and wanted to try to find something related to the countdown he saw, but after hearing what KIKI said, it seemed that there was no connection.
"Lin Xian, did something happen to you?"
KIKI removed the nano armor, looked at Lin Xian with a sharp mind, and said, "Did that Chen Yanxiu do anything to you at the beginning? Why did you suddenly faint?"
Lin Xian also removed his power armor, took a deep breath, and said
"I don't know what he did, but I seem to be experiencing the same situation as before with the weird radio station."
KIKI was surprised when she heard this: "What? What dimension have you been teleported to again?"
Lin Xian shook his head. "No, it's just a little similar. They're both related to forbidden objects. My consciousness was pulled by the flashing bullets. It was like I saw something in the universe. And then... a countdown appeared before my eyes."
Scanning the Deep-3 nuclear thermal inducer is a huge project. It will take at least 7 to 8 hours to fully understand the structure of this thing. However, Lin Xian is not ready to sleep. Now that KIKI mentioned it, he might as well tell her about the situation in front of him.
"Countdown?!"
"Yes, I've been studying it for a while. There are about 34 hours left. I'm not sure what this countdown means or who put it in my eyes, but it doesn't look like a good sign. Also... do you remember the 1,000-ton metal dice we picked up in Taku Deepwater Port? I noticed that the numbers on it kept flipping uncontrollably. I took a look, and I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the four numbers I saw were exactly the countdown time: 34:14. Damn it..."
After hearing this, KIKI's expression changed slightly. She quickly came close to Lin Xian's face, staring at his eyes intently. After a while, she said
"I don't see anything unusual. Are you sure it's in your eyes?"
Lin Xian shrugged: "It's either in my eyes or in my brain. Anyway, this thing is not a temporary illusion."
"I understand." Kiki frowned, crossed her arms and thought, "With your personality, you wouldn't treat any coincidence as a coincidence, right?"
Lin Xian nodded.
"yes."
"Then do you know how often that metal dice flips over?" KIKI suddenly asked.
Lin Xian was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought about this question before. "I haven't paid attention to it. I just check it out every time I think of it. The time varies. I just happened to pay attention to what I saw."
"So weird?" Kiki said immediately, "Why don't you take it out and I'll keep an eye on it for you."
"Why?"
KIKI tilted her head and said, "Now that you've got the next number, we just need to see if it's synchronized with your countdown. If it is, we can discuss them together. If not, they might be two independent events. This way, at least you've solved one problem, right?"
Lin Xian suddenly understood what he said and looked at KIKI and said, "Hey, you're smart. I was so focused on this countdown. Strange things kept happening that I was a little confused."
After saying that, he immediately took out the metal dice using the magnetically controlled robotic arm. KIKI took a look at it and immediately used his telekinesis to take it. At this time, the two of them looked at it and found that the number on the metal dice had changed again.
Last time it was 4, this time it became 6.
“6.”
KIKI looked at Lin Xian, and Lin Xian looked at the countdown in his sight.
33:48:01
This time, this number had no connection with Lin Xian’s countdown. Lin Xian was stunned. Could this really be a coincidence?
“The numbers don’t add up this time.”
"That means these are two different things." Kiki looked at the metal dice floating in her palm and said cautiously, "Now we have to consider why this super-massive metal dice, which is obviously not made by Blue Star, changed direction. Could someone be controlling it remotely?"
"Also, a dice only has six sides at most, and there are only six numbers on it. It's unlikely that the countdown will match. What if 789 shows up?"
Lin Xian smiled and said, "I've thought about it before, but when I saw that the numbers matched, I found it a little unbelievable."
"Lin Xian, don't you feel unsafe carrying this thing with you?" KIKI looked at Lin Xian and asked a question.
Lin Xian took a deep breath: "If it's not safe to put it in my mechanical space, then I don't know any other safe way."
"All right."
KIKI's eyes flickered, and she said, "I think this countdown might not necessarily be a bad thing."
"What do you mean?" Lin Xian asked.
KIKI raised her finger. "First of all, to use your words, if it was a dark civilization that wanted to kill you, logically there wouldn't be any need to give you a countdown, right?"
"Yes." Lin Xian nodded.
"Countdown to the end of the world?" KIKI asked.
"Not sure, but can this doomsday be any more doomsday?" Lin Xian asked back.
"So," Kiki said confidently, her eyes flickering. "Since you're seeing this countdown, it means it's meant to tell you what's going to happen after it ends. You definitely want to know what it is, so this might be a reminder for you."
The expression on Lin Xian's face slowly froze when he heard this, and he immediately understood the meaning of KIKI's logic.
Foreshadowing, reminder!
What does it portend?
Reminder of what?
Lin Xian's mind sank as he looked at the scanning screen in front of him and whispered, "This time is the morning of the day after tomorrow. Judging from the time, it is probably just after dawn."
"Where are we at this time?" asked Kiki.
"We..." Lin Xian looked at her: "Tomorrow I must find a way to leave this island..."
After saying this, he paused slightly. Somehow, he suddenly remembered the internal and external changes brought about by the time dilation effect inside Star Abyss No. 5.
But first he needed to figure out this device, and then he planned to try to find some traces of the Falcon Sea Group after dawn, and look for Ryan, maybe he could get some new information.
So he thought for a moment: "But it's possible that we can't leave."
"What?" KIKI was confused for a moment when she saw Lin Xian talking to himself.
At this moment, when Lin Xian said what he had just said, neither of them noticed that the metal dice in KIKI's hand had quietly changed at this moment.
The number suddenly changed from 6 to 5 again!
