Chapter 77 Chapter 77 S, you have to leave.
You don't need to think to know who this person is who refused to be interviewed "due to health reasons".
Lin Biege shook the captain on the sofa with a look of frustration: "Star TV6! Everyone in the galaxy can see it. This is such a precious opportunity. Why refuse it?"
"I thought it was a scam call and hung up after just two sentences. Besides, I didn't really want to be on a children's channel."
Tao Ying lazily lay on the armrest of the sofa.
Lin Biege corrected: "This is the science and education channel."
“Is there a big difference?”
Lin Biege's mumbling was just a rebuttal.
What are you talking about? I don't understand.
Tao Ying ignored it, and ten minutes later, she tugged at Lin Biege's clothes, signaling her to move aside.
"You're blocking my view, the lady in the pink rhinestone T-shirt."
Lin Biege sat back sobbing.
The show goes on.
The host was visiting the ruins and in the process of introducing them, suddenly several people rushed out and stopped them.
"What are you doing? Who allowed you in?" The man rushed forward aggressively and snatched the photographic equipment.
Communication with the program crew was ineffective, so they had no choice but to return home.
"Afterwards, we learned that this person was an insider at the Star Relics Bureau. We contacted the bureau to obtain further information about the remains, but they remained tight-lipped, stating that it was internal information and would not be released for the sake of protecting the relics."
"Oh, no, is this the end?"
When everyone was feeling lost, the host suddenly brought a turning point.
"But - good news, we found a kind-hearted citizen in Lehmen City who is willing to provide some information!"
"What does the enthusiastic people of Laimen City mean?" Lin Biege wondered.
"An anonymous internal contact of the Star Relic Bureau." Tao Ying explained with his eyelids drooping sleepily.
"oh--"
The investigative reporter said excitedly, "Next, let's hear the inside information provided by this enthusiastic citizen!"
The scene switches to indoors.
An enthusiastic citizen wearing a mask that looks like a fish is sitting on a chair.
It is called "suspected to be a fish head cover" because the entire interview footage has been blurred and censored so that one can only barely make out the outline of the head cover, which is a fish.
Iconic potted plants were also placed in front of the enthusiastic crowd.
Like a victim who doesn't want to show his face on some legal program.
The enthusiastic people tightened their masks.
"Are you sure you won't reveal my identity? There's a gag order on this matter, and everything confiscated has been turned over."
"Of course, we are determined to ensure the safety of our informants."
After receiving the host's affirmative answer, the man was still uneasy. He tugged at his clothes and whispered, "If it weren't for the fact that you guys gave me so much, I wouldn't take this risk."
Where are the enthusiastic people you promised?
Lin Biege complained: "This is private payment, right?"
The voices of the enthusiastic crowd were blurred and turned into strange cartoon clip sounds, and combined with his fish head, the whole picture became extremely weird.
The man provided a photo of all the bones spread out flat. Although the picture was blurry, it could be seen that the bones were arranged in an orderly manner.
Thirty-seven in total.
The enthusiastic people explained: "These bones are arranged according to the time of death, and the photo was taken on the day of discovery."
The host couldn't help but sigh, "The Star Relics Bureau is incredibly fast. They confirmed the time of birth and death of each corpse in seconds, and even sorted them out."
"Oh, that's not the case," the enthusiastic crowd waved their hands. "Everyone knows how fast the Star Relics Bureau works. When they discovered the remains, the thirty-seven skeletons were laid out in a very organized manner. There were detailed records next to each one. Unfortunately, the scene was sealed off before we could analyze them."
The host continued to ask: "Then why do you think these bones appeared here?"
The enthusiastic crowd's tone became serious.
“That’s the weird part.”
"The Star Relic Bureau initially concluded that 37 people were trapped and killed after falling into a crevasse during an avalanche. However, after examination, they discovered that their DNA was similar, suggesting they were the same person."
"Most importantly, their survival times do not overlap."
"For example, after A died, B was born, and then C, D... one after another." The enthusiastic crowd's tone became strange.
"The lives of these 37 people, strung together, spanned nearly four years."
The host seemed to have never seen such a scene before and was speechless.
The enthusiastic crowd continued:
"The Star Relics Bureau has no clue about this matter, but I have a few thoughts. It's just a very personal speculation. I didn't want to tell you, but since I've been paid, I have to give you some information. Do you want to hear it?"
The host raised the microphone respectfully: "You go."
The enthusiastic crowd raised their fingers: "There has only been one person trapped in the rift from the beginning to the end."
"The other thirty-seven bodies are all her clones. She wants to prolong her life by replicating herself and find a way to leave here."
Lin Biege: “Ah?”
Nan Gua: “Ah?”
Tao Ying touched his chin: "That's the only explanation."
After all, the survival time of each corpse did not overlap. It couldn't be a possession, right? That would be a true paranormal event.
The host was silent for a moment, then quickly reacted.
"Your guess is logically feasible, but I don't quite understand one thing. She already has the ability to replicate herself, so is there no way she can escape the rift? How do you know she's trapped in the rift, rather than staying there on her own accord?"
The enthusiastic crowd patted his headgear and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that we have deciphered some of the words she carved on the wall."
A caring citizen handed over a photo.
The pixels in the photo are huge and very blurry, and it is obvious that it was secretly intercepted from internal undisclosed data.
The ancient text, translated into English, is—
"I'm leaving here. You can't hold me back."
"You underestimate humans."
The enthusiastic crowd nodded and said, "We speculate that this woman was trapped here by a non-human creature."
The host exclaimed.
"Oh, it's a woman, and the one who trapped her isn't human! Could this really be some kind of supernatural event?—Then again, four words in the middle were crossed out."
For a moment, everyone's focus became what these four words meant.
Everyone tried their best to recognize it for a long time, and finally the host said regretfully that the second word could only be restored by using image repair software: "比".
Mouth to mouth.
Lin Biege scratched his head: "What is koubikoukou? Waibibabu?"
Lin Biege started to guess the words, but in the end he felt that none of the words were suitable here.
"You should fill in a person's name here, or at least the name of a creature." Tao Ying felt that she was probably too idle, so she joined the word guessing game.
Nan Gua thought carefully: "A creature that is not human... an intelligent being? Fury? Or a Zerg?"
"Wait a minute, you're getting more and more absurd," Lin Biege said, extending his hand. "Do the Zerg have this kind of wisdom?"
Tao Ying explained, "Some advanced Zerg cores do possess intelligence comparable to humans, but this is a recent phenomenon. If the Zerg of the space wandering era had this kind of intelligence, the Reval Empire would have been destroyed long ago, and it wouldn't even have been able to be established."
"If it's not the Zerg, then what is it?"
Everyone looked at the screen, hoping that the host could give further answers.
But what is disappointing is that the program team only gave ambiguous guesses.
"It could be an electronic intelligence."
In the end, the show did not give an answer as to who these corpses belonged to or who trapped the woman.
And because this episode is about the crisis of intelligent machines, many netizens criticized the director team for coming up with something new.
But Tao Ying's question was answered.
Being trapped in such an extreme environment and still able to survive, the strength of the mental strength must be very high, which is indeed enough to leave fluctuations in the pyroxene.
It is normal that the pyroxene can affect her mental power.
Well, good, sleep.
Tao Ying yawned, slowly climbed up from the sofa, put on her slippers, and prepared to go upstairs to her room.
Lin Biege was still struggling: "So who is it that is trapping her?"
Tao Ying turned around in front of the stairs, looked up at the sky for a moment, and shrugged.
She doesn't know either.
Maybe it's some kind of four-dimensional creature.
…
Tao Ying dreamed that she fell into the chasm again.
She pushed open the hatch of the Dawn T4, and a gust of ancient dust blew towards her.
However, because it was a dream, her body was not affected by the dust.
She could even jump directly out of the mecha with no discomfort at all.
Tao Ying touched the cracked wall and walked inside.
The air was getting colder and colder, as if it was going to freeze her body.
All the crystals were flooded with blue light.
Deep in the cave.
There was a woman standing with her back to Tao Ying.
The woman had disheveled hair and a thin figure. She was holding a sharp bone in her hand and hammering on the rock wall, carving today's date.
Tao Ying subconsciously moved forward, wanting to see who she was, but accidentally kicked a leg bone on the ground.
There was a sudden sound.
A series of bones made crisp collision sounds.
The woman heard the sound and turned around.
An extremely familiar face was reflected in Tao Ying's black pupils.
Her facial features, her pupils, her expression——
They are exactly the same as Tao Ying.
It was her own face.
The woman opened her mouth and said to her—
"S, you need to leave."
A flash of white light passed by, Tao Ying opened her eyes, and the chirping of birds outside the window brought her back to reality.
Hanging on the window was the dream catcher that Nan Gua had given her. The sunlight refracted by the tiny crystals dazzled Tao Ying's eyes.
...It's true that whatever you think about during the day you dream about at night.
I actually dreamed about the trapped woman.
The ending is a bit meaningful, like a horror story she made up to scare Lin Biege.
It may be the follow-up effect of losing control of mental power. I'll go back and ask the medical cabin.
Tao Ying didn't think much about it, stretched, and started to deal with the next things.
First, we need to confirm the machine to be used in the finals.
On the phone, Bo Mo said briefly, "Are you sure you want to use Hengwo in the finals? Can your body handle it?"
Tao Ying blinked.
“That’s part of the plan.”
Then there's the morning exercise—
Tao Ying hung up the phone, opened the floor-to-ceiling windows in the corridor, basked in the sunshine, and started doing exercises.
Twelve minutes later, Tao Ying began to breathe heavily.
Okay, I have achieved my exercise goal today.
Tao Ying sat down expressionlessly.
There is no training scheduled for today, but there is no such thing as two days of rest in Tao Ying's dictionary.
I feel uncomfortable all over when I am idle. What should I do next?
Big Bread squeezed over again, and its furry, warm and strong body squatted on Tao Ying's legs.
At this moment, the computer suddenly beeped twice.
Tao Ying glanced at the message and saw it was a payment reminder.
"Oh, it's time to pay the electricity bill this month."
Tao Ying opened the electricity bill and was about to pay it, but when she saw the number on the bill, her hand shook inadvertently.
Electricity bill...two hundred thousand star coins.
How many?
Tao Ying rubbed her eyes, thinking she had seen it wrong.
After confirming that it was correct, Tao Ying showed a hint of shock between his eyebrows.
Is someone secretly making drugs at home?
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Tao Ying: There is something fishy.
Xiaoye: (Looks away)
