Chapter 407: The Hand of God
A civilization with the ability to travel between stars is willing to live on a dark planet wrapped in layers of machinery; a race with an elf-like appearance is wearing mechanical armor up to three meters high; a palace with a classical appearance is filled with various mechanical devices; it has vocal organs very similar to humans, but uses body light to communicate...
Since entering the Xinaluo star system, Chen Fan has felt a faint sense of disharmony.
As time goes by, this sense of disharmony becomes more and more serious.
Until now!
When Chen Fan saw this high-tech writing office, which is actually the core control room of a huge communication equipment, the sense of disharmony in his heart reached its peak.
"If I'm not mistaken..."
Chen Fan stood at the open door, looking at Ophelia and Artesia who had already stepped into it, and frowned tightly: "This should be the core area of Xinaluo civilization, right?"
"Why bring us to this place?"
"Isn't it a bit...unfair to do this?"
Yi quickly converted the information into electromagnetic waves and transmitted it to the two.
In Chen Fan's confused eyes, Ophelia slowly turned around and gave a light smile: [If you are just a visitor from a higher civilization, then I will naturally not bring you here. ]
[But you are the messenger mentioned in the prophecy, so all this is natural. ]
Chen Fan pulled the corner of his mouth and sighed helplessly.
Now that things have come to this, how should he explain the "beautiful misunderstanding" to the queen?
[Sir Star Envoy, please come in. ]
Artesia, who looks 90% like Queen Ophelia, also turned around and stretched out her hand to Chen Fan, saying: [All the prophecies of the Xinalo civilization were born in this room. ]
Hearing this, Chen Fan's face suddenly froze.
Compared with the so-called agreement, the prophecy mentioned by Artesia and Ophelia at the same time obviously concerned him more - in fact, if there was no such prophecy, Queen Ophelia would probably not have made any agreement with him.
Correspondingly, his current situation would not be so embarrassing.
Who foresaw his existence in advance?
The ghost fleet?
Or the so-called star god?
But according to previous speculation, the Xinaluo civilization is likely to be the predecessor of the ghost fleet...
Chen Fan couldn't help but frown.
Chaos, too chaos!
When it comes to time, especially when the timelines of the past and the future intersect, the complexity of the investigation instantly increases by several orders of magnitude.
He glanced at Hongshi beside him.
At the moment of looking at each other, Chen Fan sensed the same strong confusion and bewilderment in Hongshi's eyes.
Yes.
Chen Fan shrugged helplessly.
Let's take it one step at a time.
For now, let's investigate the so-called Xinaluo prophecy before considering other issues.
Thinking of this, Chen Fan took the lead and walked into this spacious room full of precision instruments.
"By the way."
Looking at Artesia who closed the heavy door silently, Chen Fan asked casually: "Queen Ophelia, Artesia and you..."
[She is my sister. ]
In the flashing fluorescent light, Ophelia answered Chen Fan's question frankly.
Chen Fan suddenly realized.
No wonder the two look so similar, they are actually blood sisters!
...
Bang.
The heavy sound of the door closing echoed in the room.
After a short wait, the echo gradually dissipated, and the room full of precision instruments fell into silence again.
Looking at Ophelia sitting on the chair, Chen Fan was the first to break the silence: "Queen Ophelia, there is something I need to confirm with you first."
He stretched out his hand in front of him, and a huge holographic image instantly appeared in front of everyone.
The holographic image recorded the phantom that Chen Fan saw in the Starlight Forest at that time.
"Is this the agreement you mentioned earlier?"
As Chen Fan's voice fell, the image froze on the scene where Ophelia knelt on the ground.
[Of course. ]
Ophelia looked at the highly realistic holographic image, and her eyes couldn't help but reveal the color of memories: [In fact, I only saw you during the pre-war mobilization fifty years ago. ]
[Your companions... their phantoms did not descend on the Xinaluo star. 】
【At that time, life forms from foreign lands had already invaded our home planet. In order to resist the invasion, I, as a candidate for the next queen, launched a war mobilization in the Xinaluo Imperial City. 】
【At first, the war mobilization did not go smoothly. 】 A trace of loneliness flashed across Ophelia's beautiful face, 【You may not know that facing those life forms from foreign lands, even the most powerful warriors of the Xinaluo civilization may not be able to retreat unscathed, not to mention the nobles in the imperial city who are pampered and accustomed to a comfortable life. 】
Chen Fan suddenly realized.
The Human Union database does record similar situations - most civilizations that adopt the feudal monarchy have more or less problems in this regard.
【Just when I thought the war mobilization might fail, the situation changed. 】
[A shadow suddenly appeared in front of everyone.] Ophelia looked straight at Chen Fan, [That shadow is you.]
[Others may not know, but as a candidate for the next queen, I know the prophecy that has been passed down in the Xinaluo royal family for countless years.]
[The foreign invasion mentioned in the prophecy has been fulfilled, and accordingly, the messenger mentioned in the prophecy will also come.]
[Therefore, the first time I saw you, I guessed your identity.]
[In order to win this war and to bring a way out to the Xinaluo civilization, I began to pray for your help.]
[I admit that I was gambling at the time.] Ophelia opened her red lips and smiled silently, [But I was lucky, you responded to my prayer.]
[The war mobilization was successful, and the Xinaluo civilization also survived the invasion by chance.]
[After the war, I stood out from a group of candidates and became the new queen of the Xinaluo civilization.]
Looking at the words that kept appearing in the holographic interface, Chen Fan's expression became complicated.
For him, the appearance of Xinaluo's phantom is undoubtedly a key to guide him to the anti-universe. It can be said that without this phantom, he would not have gone to the anti-universe and would not have encountered the Xinaluo civilization.
For the Xinaluo civilization, the appearance of the phantom is undoubtedly a major turning point - without the appearance of the phantom, the Xinaluo civilization is likely to not survive until now, and naturally it is impossible to wait for his appearance.
From the perspective of the rearview mirror, this seemingly inconspicuous phantom is like a god's hand in the chess game, which directly revitalizes the entire chess game!
Who is secretly laying out...
and what is the purpose of the layout?
These questions emerged in Chen Fan's mind again.
"Queen Ophelia." Chen Fan calmed down, "In order to facilitate subsequent communication, if possible, I hope to get the dictionary of the Xinaluo civilization's light language."
"If it's not convenient, it's no big deal, but..."
[Nothing inconvenient. ] Ophelia covered her mouth and chuckled, [Our light language system is more complicated. ]
[Previously, in order to communicate with the higher civilizations that may exist in the universe, those scholars specially studied a relatively simple electromagnetic wave language system. 】
【Since the Star Envoy has requested it, I can also transmit the dictionary of the light language to you. 】
Ophelia operated the console beside her, and a piece of information was transmitted to the smart terminal through electromagnetic waves.
Unlike the dictionaries of most civilizations, the dictionary information of the Xinaluo civilization is extremely large.
In Yi's estimation, the capacity of this dictionary is almost equivalent to the dictionaries of twenty conventional civilizations!
Corresponding to the huge capacity is an extremely accurate and detailed way of describing information - the frequency of the light itself, the way of flickering, and even the wavelength of the light correspond to different information.
The Xinaluo people can even accurately judge the mood and physical state of the "speaker" from these lights!
To give a simple example.
Have you eaten?
- This is the way humans ask questions.
Have you eaten? (From xxx who is a little anxious, has a little pain in his left shoulder, has a little discomfort in his stomach, and didn't get enough sleep last night.)
- This is the way Xinaluo people ask questions.
Thanks to this, Chen Fan can now even judge the psychological and physical conditions of Ophelia and Artesia from the light around their bodies.
The former was a little anxious, but of course, he had more respect and expectation for Chen Fan.
The latter...
well... I ate a lot of food in the morning, and now I still have some food accumulation, and my digestion seems to be a little bit problematic...
Looking at the many entries displayed in the holographic interface, Chen Fan's eyes twitched suddenly.
Fuck.
In an instant, just in an instant!
The little goodwill that had been accumulated because of the appearance of the Xinaluo people like elves suddenly collapsed like a twin tower!
Chen Fan stiffly withdrew his eyes from the entries that looked like suffixes in the holographic interface.
The purpose of obtaining this dictionary was naturally not to read these inexplicable entries!
He calmed down and gave an order to Yi in his heart: "Yi, translate the previously recorded light language." "
The first rule of the investigator's code is not to blindly believe in any intelligent creature.
——When he was on Varela, Yi recorded the light language around Ophelia's body.
Now, the previously recorded information came in handy.
Almost at the same time, relying on his powerful computing power, Yi quickly translated the light language.
[The royal prophecy was indeed correct, and the Xinaluo civilization finally waited for your messenger. ]
[Lord Star Envoy, I pray to you as the next candidate for the Queen...]
[If the Xinaluo civilization still has a chance to survive, I hope you can respond to my prayers, come to the Xinaluo star in person, and lead the Xinaluo civilization out of this quagmire. ]
[The Xinaluo civilization will always be your loyal believer. ]
[Star God, may the starlight bless the Xinaluo civilization...]
Looking at the light language that was almost the same as the Queen's memories, Chen Fan's suspicion was slightly relieved.
He pondered for a moment and asked directly: "Queen Ophelia, where did the royal prophecy come from?"
Ophelia's eyes moved slightly.
Her respectful gaze slowly swept over the precision instruments beside her. Finally, she raised her head, revealing her swan-like neck, and stared at the dome above her head that was completely dark. She murmured in a low voice:
[Prophecy...]
[From the Star God.]
