Chapter 462: Releasing 'Xingyuan'
The black sea water and sea fog became an elongated line in Lin Xian's eyes. Lin Xian activated [Energy Leap] again and rushed out of the train directly.
This time, his mental power was highly concentrated, and he could accurately sense that he was flying several kilometers in the direction of his will in an instant. Wow, in an instant, Lin Xian appeared above a sea area, surrounded by thick sea fog. There was no visibility around him, it was almost pitch black, and he could not see the existence of Infinity at all.
At the moment the jump ended, Lin Xian only felt the whistling sea breeze and humid sea mist rushing towards him and enveloping him. At the same time, affected by gravity, he immediately fell towards the sea surface. At this moment, his nano-powered armor immediately covered his entire body. The whole body's stabilizing thrusters ignited a second before he fell into the sea, hovering him above the sea surface.
At this moment, Lin Xian took out the black gear from the Black Star Forge. His brows sank, and his mind raced.
"If I'm not mistaken, it can cut off the shielding dark energy and even cover the contained forbidden objects. This thing is simply a divine weapon..."
The problem that Lin Xian has been unable to figure out is actually a very small detail, that is, the countdown appeared first, and the black gear was taken from Chen Yanxiu using the gravitational lens after Lin Xian regained consciousness, so he never thought that the two were actually related, let alone that this thing might have been left behind by Chen Yanxiu on purpose.
This gave Lin Xian a great misunderstanding, because Lin Xian always thought that although he had obtained the black gear, he still needed to study in detail how to complete the collection. However, he never thought about one problem, that is, the black gear had been collected by him, and it was Chen Yanxiu's deliberate act.
If this is the case, then everything makes sense. Some characteristics brought by the black gear affected his control of the flashing bullets and the Nantianmen, and the countdown appeared because of the black gear. Because of this, after he came into contact with or accidentally touched something, the countdown suddenly accelerated or his own time flow began to speed up. Although it feels a bit incredible, Lin Xian has combined all the clues and judged, and ruled out all the impossibilities he can think of. So at this moment, this seemingly incredible inference is very likely to be correct.
What's more, he has no other choice at this moment.
4, 3, ...
There were only three seconds left in the countdown. Lin Xian looked at the numbers running wildly in his sight, and his heart sank.
"This countdown is caused by the connection between the black gear and me. The Adventists want to cut off my control over the South Heaven Gate, so I must either destroy it or sever the containment!"
At this moment, Lin Xian had already made up his mind. All the thrusters behind him suddenly lit up and fired, allowing him to break through the sound barrier and rush towards the distance at high speed!
3, 2, 1!
The number 3 seconds came almost instantly. At this moment, Lin Xian only felt an incomparably cold and violent aura madly gathering towards him. His eyes flashed quickly, and at the last second of the countdown, he directly activated the [Energy Leap]. The whole person flashed two kilometers in the sea fog in an instant. Then he used a drone to grab the black gear, and then activated the leap again in the opposite direction. Within milliseconds, Lin Xian used the drone for remote positioning, and pointed directly in the air, aiming at the black gear.
Gravitational lens!
Buzz!
The black sea fog enveloped the drone, and Lin Xian could not see it at all even though it was two kilometers away. But at this moment, a space wave arose, and black ripples quickly twisted and appeared in the center of the drone floating above the sea fog, instantly swallowing up the drone and its black gears, forming a black bubble twisted in the air.
At the same time, the originally calm sea surface began to show turbulent waves, and a violent dark aura gathered madly in the direction of the gear. Lin Xian pointed into the void, and the next moment, he noticed a strange vibration coming from the sea ahead.
Rustle!
The power armor fired multiple flares that pierced the dark night sky over the sea. The thick sea fog fell on the ocean like a huge gray curtain. Lin Xian stared intently. At this moment, an absolutely smooth black giant wall tore through the fog wall without any warning. The edge swallowed up the water vapor and skylight, and twisted into a circle that covered the sky and the sun as it spread. In an instant, it covered the sky and the sun. It was actually a black star abyss that looked like a solid entity and was releasing tides!
Lin Xian's pupils shrank, and without any hesitation, regardless of the physical exertion, he made another leap and flash backwards. At this moment, the sea surface in front of him suddenly sank to form a thousand-meter vortex. The pure darkness within the ring wall was like a solidified entity, and the waves were silently crushed into powdered crystal fragments, which were swallowed up before they fell.
A low-frequency hum seeped out from the depths of the black hole, as if a sleeping stellar giant was yawning in its cranial cavity. When it expanded to cover half the sky, all the floating wreckage of the giant creatures and the pale tentacles that protruded from the sea of fog disappeared. What followed were countless strange objects that rushed out of the black hole into the sky like rice bags exploding, pouring out madly towards the sea on all sides.
Looking at this scene, Lin Xian's face changed drastically. It looked like a small Star Abyss materialized and emerged from it, with countless dark creatures emerging from it. They had been accumulating for a long time and suddenly exploded.
Rumble!
The huge whirlpool and the dark tide resonated and vibrated, causing huge waves in the sea water on all sides. Countless strange figures disappeared in the mist and sank into the water at an extremely fast speed.
"Captain Lin!"
Inside the headset, the team members' voices came, and KIKI and others came to support from the direction of Infinity. At this time, Lin Xian immediately turned around and released dozens of flares. He called everyone
"Be careful, don't come near!"
From the rear, streams of light arrived one after another. They were all teammates wearing power armor. Even Beifeng 09 and Ryan came to help. When they saw the huge black hole ball in the sea that was like a star abyss swallowing and releasing, everyone was shocked.
"What's this??"
"Be careful, there are a lot of weird things!"
"Lin Xian, are you... okay?" Chen Sixuan and KIKI rushed over one after another. Seeing Lin Xian flying safely in the air, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is the countdown over?" KIKI asked quickly.
Lin Xian shook his head. Looking at the black 'Star Abyss' being released in front of him, he said solemnly, "I'm not sure yet, but it seems that the black gear left by Chen Yanxiu is a troublesome thing."
"Is this caused by that forbidden object?" Ning Jing saw with her own eyes that Lin Xian snatched the black gear from Chen Yanxiu. When she heard his words, she couldn't help but ask.
"What a huge scene, like a tidal eruption!" Ryan flew out from the crowd, looked at the scene in front of him, and immediately said: "Get ready!"
"Don't act rashly."
Chen Sixuan spoke at this time, her eyes gleaming with a glimmer that seemed to be able to see through the sea fog: "The tide is shrinking, and all those strange objects that were ejected have sunk into the sea. We haven't been marked, so we should wait and see what happens."
It was almost dawn and the Infinity had not yet found a place to stay. It would be very disadvantageous for them to fight at this moment.
Lin Xian glanced at Chen Sixuan curiously, then immediately turned back to look at the black star abyss. Sure enough, the black giant curtain standing in the sea fog had retracted again like a shrinking bubble, and those strange bodies that were ejected like fountains were also constantly decreasing. Soon, the movement was hidden in the sea fog, and in the distance, only the deafening buzzing sound of the waves after the whirlpool disintegrated was left.
"Disappeared?" Shuqin shouted.
Qian Dele crossed his arms and said seriously, "It came and went quickly. What kind of special astronomical phenomenon is this?"
At this time, Lin Xian looked at the thick sea fog and suddenly gave an order to Viola.
"Viola, send out a drone with a forbidden object detector to search for the black gear in the swirling sea ahead."
【Viola understands.】
As soon as he finished speaking, behind Lin Xian and the others, thousands of drones with flashing lights rushed out like a swarm of bees, flying towards the black fog area ahead.
At this time, a mysterious light flashed in the sky at the sea level, and the bright light began to turn the black fog into a gray-white sea fog. At the same time, everyone felt that the temperature of the air was rising.
Obviously, although the visibility is still low due to the sea fog, everyone knows that it is dawn!
Seeing this, and the countdown in his sight completely disappearing, Lin Xian felt relieved. Although he had not yet fully understood the characteristics of the black gear, Lin Xian had guessed correctly that his countdown was somehow related to the black gear. This thing was the bomb that Chen Yanxiu had buried for him.
Since Dawn City, Lin Xian has not appeared in Chu Yan's spiritual world in his conscious form for a long time. When he saw Chu Yan rushing out of a nest of zombies in an abandoned high-rise building, Lin Xian inexplicably had the urge to hug this girl.
After all, having lost contact for this period of time and being at sea, Lin Xian felt a certain sense of loneliness as he was separated from the organization.
Following Chu Yan's leap from the tall building, Lin Xian looked down at the abandoned, dilapidated city.
"What kind of mission is this?"
"Foundation." Chu Yan stopped and stood beside the tall building. She looked at Lin Xian and retracted the silver blade in her hand. "Thanks to you, I'm back in the task force."
Lin Xian frowned: "Shouldn't I protect you more closely?"
Chu Yan shook her head: "Your Flash Bullet, Grace, and our Starry Sky Research Laboratory, all this information has been known to the Advent Faction. There is no point in hiding."
She then looked at Lin Xian and said, "Chen Yanxiu, the former head of the Special Items Research Department of the Angel Project, aged 20 years overnight while researching the SIID-06 silver pocket watch. However, he successfully contained the forbidden object, which has the ability to alter the flow of time in a region. After experiencing the power of the forbidden object, his personality changed drastically, and he led a group to leave the Federation and establish the Divine Revelation Organization."
"The black gear you mentioned should be the later SIID-011 Dark Gear. It has very special properties, and we have no exact information. The only thing we know is that it allows Chen Yanxiu to enter Xingyuan without restraint in search of forbidden items. It also has some strong side effects."
"side effect?"
"I'm not sure about the details, but judging from your description, this should be it." Chu Yan analyzed: "He has a silver pocket watch, so if the dark gear explodes, he can survive."
Lin Xian was shocked when he heard this: "No wonder..."
If he had not upgraded his energy jump and possessed the buggy space cutting skill of gravitational lens, the instantaneous eruption of the Star Abyss tide could have directly swallowed him and everyone in a huge range. Thinking of the strange body tide like a fountain, Lin Xian's scalp went numb.
"He deliberately dropped this thing on me, directly cutting off my control of the flash bullet and blocking the connection between you and me. It seems..."
"There should be some kind of dimensional connection." Chu Yan crossed her arms and spoke calmly, "This can be explained by releasing Xingyuan and walking in Xingyuan."
"Goodness! You nearly got me killed." Lin Xian's eyes flashed with sternness, and he broke out in a cold sweat just thinking about it. The situation this time was no less dangerous than facing the Giant Ocean God. He even nearly crossed into low-Earth orbit directly through the flash bullet. By then, with the Dark Gear in his hands, wouldn't he have destroyed the Nantianmen Gate along with it?
Chu Yan looked at Lin Xian, somewhat puzzled: "How could you make such a judgment under such circumstances?"
Obviously, Chu Yan had some doubts about Lin Xian's analysis.
"Hi……"
Lin Xian gave a bitter smile: "What kind of judgment is that? It's just luck."
Lin Xian was able to judge the two most important factors. One was that he was sure that his countdown was related to the dark gear, and the second was that his gravitational lens could isolate the gear and complete the containment.
It was precisely because of these two points that he treated the black gear as a time bomb, used the jump to move away, and then added a gravitational lens, which was considered a stroke of luck.
"I salvaged this thing. It might come in handy later."
Chu Yan said, "Be careful when using forbidden objects. They are an extension of the power of the dark civilization. However, our North American United Front and the Night Walker Organization of the Phoenix Society are actually tracking this forbidden object."
"Because of the power of Xingyuan Walking?"
Chu Yan nodded: "Yes."
"Alright." Lin Xian sighed. "I have to go back. The train is still submerged in water and I can't even tell where it is."
Chu Yan asked him, "What are you going to do next? The Foundation and Divine Revelation are targeting you. There are many fanatical psychics in the Holy City. I'm afraid they will be difficult to deal with if you meet them."
Lin Xian waved his hand. "I'm planning to go straight to Noah, or change course and quickly land in South America. Professor Ye and I have already succeeded. We've confirmed the connection between the Adventists and the Dark Civilization, and the Nantianmen's deterrence against darkness is real. Why would I bother investigating this crazy organization in the deep sea? And what's more, there's a giant ocean god in the ocean. Forget it... I'll leave these specialized tasks to Night Walker."
Chu Yan heard this and said, "Your judgment is correct. You should be able to reunite with your convoy within a few weeks after landing in South America. The Infinity Convoy and the Silver Star are now crossing the Qionggu Strait, and the Dawn Center is speeding up."
"accelerate?"
"The world is corrupting." Chu Yan pointed to the intercity line in the distance. Lin Xian looked at it and frowned immediately. The sky, which should have been clear, seemed to be covered with a layer of scarlet light.
"There are many changes. I will communicate with you slowly. Now you should get out of danger first." Chu Yan said.
Lin Xian nodded, glanced at Chu Yan's figure, and his consciousness gradually faded.
Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, the sea fog gradually dissipated under the sunlight. On the calm Pacific Ocean, floating were a nuclear-powered submarine and a... train.
In dining car No. 6, everyone gathered together, some sitting and some standing. On the table in the middle of the sofa, there was a black gear soaked in sea water. At this moment, it was emitting some kind of distorted dark energy fluctuations, which was completely different from the state when it was taken in by Lin Xian.
Luo Yang lowered the observation mirror at his ear and examined the black gear on the table. He couldn't help but say, "This thing can actually release the 'Star Abyss'. The properties of this taboo object are too weird!?"
"Who would take in something like this? That would be courting death," Sasha muttered.
"The divinely inspired Chen Yanxiu has been carrying it with him all the time, which means that this thing must have some positive value, but we don't know it yet." Ning Jing said at this time.
Kiki was floating in the air, frowning and looking at it. He said with disdain, "Maybe its value is to harm people. People who don't know it might think it's a treasure, but it turns out to be a large enemy attractant."
"I agree." Lu Chang also echoed.
"Being able to release Xingyuan, this should be more than just an enemy attractant." Monica said meaningfully at this time: "If such a characteristic can be controlled, it can be regarded as an extraordinary measure."
"You're right."
At this time, Lin Xian's voice came from the corridor of the carriage. He came to the dining table, raised his hand to create a lead box to put the black gear in, and said, "Get ready to go. If nothing unexpected happens, someone will come to take away this trophy."
Chen Sixuan stood up immediately after hearing this: "Okay, let's prepare for action."
Lin Xian looked around at everyone and smiled slightly.
“This time we’ll fly!”
