◎It says that new drivers always have accidents on the road◎
The dark red light gave people an extremely ominous feeling, like a warning to trespassers.
Gu Qian'an stood at the door and observed carefully. Blue crystal was the core item in the plan of Li Qiao and others. According to common sense, this room must be filled with dense mechanisms and protective devices.
"The Black Tower is so hidden?" He frowned, "How come I didn't see anything?"
The ball was even more puzzled, "What is this mechanism? There is a piece of energy crystal here. You just need to absorb the energy inside, and it will not sound the alarm or attack us."
After the crystal leaves the body, it cannot realize the energy circulation in the body of the psychic. Once the energy is exhausted, it will become an ordinary crystal and will not be able to hinder them.
"Is it that simple?" Gu Qi'an couldn't believe it. "Where's the anti-theft system? No infrared alarm? At least there should be a combination lock, right?"
With just this piece of supernatural crystal, if someone is strong enough to force his way in, how much of a barrier can it provide?
By the time Mo Jin and the others rushed over after hearing the noise, the day lilies had already gone cold.
Lan Jing is the key to the plan. It is unreasonable to protect her so laxly, and it also makes him look stupid for being so cautious just now.
"The energy crystal is already the highest level of protective equipment," Yuanqiu said, "and the things you are talking about do not exist in the comic world at all."
"There's no combination lock?" Gu Qian felt that the ball was definitely framing him. The living standards in the Black Tower were almost the same as in the real world. How could there not be something like this that was invented a hundred years ago?
"Because all traces of modern life in this world are achieved through supernatural powers." Yuanqiu explained patiently.
It also knows that this is unbelievable for Gu Qian, but it is the fact.
In this world, everyone has superpowers, and the diverse abilities are enough to meet any needs of mankind. Just like in the comic world, although there are no elevators, Li Qiao can control a large number of superpowers in the elevator space to serve him.
The strong have no need for the technological products that are everywhere in the real world. They either control the psychics or create a large number of psychic crystals for their own use. Therefore, the technology in this world is actually extremely backward.
"What about the weak people?" Gu Qian'an still couldn't understand. "If they don't have these privileges, won't they want to invent some convenient tools?"
"Good question," Ball gestured to him to look at the energy crystal on the door, "Who do you think these energy crystals were extracted from?"
The air suddenly became quiet. Gu Qian'an's IQ was not low, and he understood the meaning of the ball in an instant.
——Why don’t the weak study?
——Because they have all been made into energy crystals for the strong to use.
For the first time, the cruel and bloody side of this world was exposed to Gu Qian'an. Although he always knew that "Alien" was not an easy and peaceful everyday comic, with the help of the ball, every crisis he encountered was eventually resolved.
He even accidentally put on the vest of a high-level psychic, causing Li Qiao and Mo Jin, who were at the top of the world's class, to treat him with courtesy.
This made him still have a high and mighty mentality, observing the world from an outsider's perspective as a reader, so he never noticed the dark side of this world.
Gu Qian'an suddenly recalled the first plot he participated in. Those low-level psychics imprisoned underground had lifeless eyes and a numb attitude towards the outside world. They were accustomed to being caught and killed for fun at any time. They were considered inferior and were exploited and oppressed all the time.
He began to understand why An Mo risked his life to enter the Black Tower again and change Li Qiao's ideas.
An Mo couldn't accept it because it was wrong. Gu Qian'an, who had known since childhood that all people were created equal, couldn't accept it even more.
He looked at the dark red crystal on the door that looked like tears of blood. This was not an energy body, but a living person.
The ball misunderstood his silence, thinking that he was worried about how to deal with the aftermath, and continued, "You don't have to worry about being discovered. I just followed Mo Jin in to take a look. There is a drawer of the same kind of energy crystals in the cabinet. We can just take one and install it when we come out."
Its cheerful comfort did not make Gu Qian'an feel happy at all. Extracting supernatural crystals was difficult in itself. Ten supernatural users might not be able to extract a single crystal. A whole drawer meant the tragic deaths of many innocent people.
But now is no time for Gu Qian'an to grieve for them. If the failure to obtain the blue crystal leads to An Mo's death, then the hope of change will be destroyed.
Gu Qian'an stretched out his finger and touched the surface of the crystal.
I can't promise to change the world, he thought, but I will certainly do something if I can.
The color inside the crystal gradually faded, and finally turned into a transparent empty shell and fell into Gu Qian'an's hands.
He clutched the empty shell tightly, opened the door, and walked in with the ball.
Lan Jing was on the display stand in the middle of the room, and Gu Qian'an also saw the drawer that Yuanqiu mentioned.
A lighter-colored supernatural crystal was mixed into the drawer containing the empty shell. It seemed that Mo Jin had replaced the crystal at the door after inspection. This made it easier for them to forge the evidence as they did not need to control the remaining energy of the crystal.
The blue crystal was just as Gu Qian'an had imagined it to be, crystal blue all over, and looked exactly like a supernatural crystal. If you looked carefully, you could see two unclear scratches on the left side, which must have been made by Mo Lian when he mixed it into the ointment.
The ball was carefully scanning the crystal stone. Gu Qianan couldn't help but complain when he saw its unfamiliar appearance, "Are you sure this is the energy you left behind? Why do you look like you don't know him at all?"
"Parents can't recognize their children after they've been away from home for a year or two. I've been separated from these energies for decades." The ball looked at the scanned details, "This is a complete energy crystal, but my energy is attached to it."
Because its energy priority is very high, its original ability is completely suppressed, so only its energy is displayed.
Gu Qian'an took a look at the scan results. The original energy crystals were also light blue, so even if they absorbed the energy belonging to the sphere, there was still no sign of anything wrong with the appearance.
'But the energy here is much less than we expected.'
The sphere had previously counted the total amount of energy it had left behind, and based on their estimation, the amount left in the black tower should be at least twice as much as it is now.
But the ball mentioned another thing with a guilty conscience, 'Actually, I always thought that my weak control over this world was due to the laws, but now it seems that it is a problem of the energy I lost.'
Normally, consciousness provides energy for the world to operate, so the world is controlled by consciousness. This is also the relationship between the sphere and the world when it is just born.
However, over the past few decades, the lost energy has also been transforming and nourishing the world. Its behavior of evading the laws of nature has given these energies an opportunity to take advantage.
'So there is less energy here, but fortunately this energy has no consciousness. As long as I absorb it, the control of the world will be back in my hands.' The ball was very excited, 'Then you don't have to work hard to guess the outline and promote the plot.'
Gu Qianan sorted out the logic in his mind and asked in disbelief, "You, a consciousness, almost had your control of the world taken away by energy. Are you that incompetent?"
Although without this series of accidents, there would be no chance for him to be resurrected, but why is Yuanqiu's business ability so unskilled? Didn't he receive any on-the-job training?
"I'm only less than a hundred years old," Yuanqiu laughed twice, "It's inevitable for a novice to make mistakes."
Every consciousness will be a little flustered at the beginning, but the butterfly effect caused by this mistake is quite serious. Fortunately, there is still a chance to make up for it.
It changed the subject abruptly without waiting for Gu Qi'an to answer, "If I absorb all the energy at once, I will be forced to enter a dormant state and reconnect with the world, so we absorb it in batches over the next two days. With the buffer time, I can hold on until the end of the finals and bring you back to the real world."
Its hibernation in the comic world means that Gu Qian will become isolated and helpless, and need to face the upcoming final day alone.
Thinking of the two S-level psychics in the opposing camp, Yuanqiu couldn't feel at ease at all.
Gu Qian'an also agreed with this; the sphere was his only connection between the two worlds. At least for now, he couldn't stand being alone in a strange environment.
He placed his fingers on the blue crystal, and energy was continuously transferred to the sphere through him.
After absorbing nearly half of the energy, the ball began to stop. Gu Qian'an withdrew his fingers, stepped forward and caught the silver-white ball that fell downwards.
The ball lay listlessly in his arms, concentrating on digesting the energy in his body. Gu Qian'an removed all traces quickly and decisively, and left the crime scene holding the ball.
…
The sixty-sixth floor of the Black Tower.
Gu Qi'an sat aside, looking at the ball on the table. Its original facial features had completely disappeared, leaving only a silvery-white sphere.
"Like a shelled egg."
He laughed himself after he finished speaking, but without the full-bodied retort from Yuanqiu, he actually seemed a little boring.
Gu Qianan leaned back in his chair and reviewed what happened today in his mind.
To be honest, there is one thing that has always bothered him.
When Mo Jin was trying to persuade Feng Yang, he said, 'It took hundreds of thousands of candidates to successfully select one Holy Son.'
Normally, the Son of God is the one chosen by God, but now that the Sphere-Tearing God has fallen, the so-called Son of God is definitely chosen by the Vatican because of some characteristics.
Gu Qian'an had always thought that the Holy See gave birth to a Holy Son because An Mo had the physique to absorb blue crystals. But from what Mo Jin said, it was because the Holy See wanted a Holy Son, so they selected An Mo from hundreds of thousands of candidates.
An Mo is a successful person, so where are all the failed people?
He stretched out his hand towards the egg on the table that was emitting blue light, and the crystal blue energy approached his fingertips.
The identity of the Son of God always belongs to An Mo. The Vatican has very detailed information about him. It is impossible for Gu Qian'an to keep impersonating him.
But if the screening criteria is the degree of compatibility with Lan Jing, then can he also become one of the hundreds of thousands of candidates and add a suitable background to An Qi's blank past?
