Chapter 349 Return to Dreamland, Surprise (Two-in-One Chapter)
A strong stinging sensation awakened Feng Qi from the memory reading state.
The moment he opened his eyes, bloodshot eyes shed tears of blood.
Various memory scenes flashed through his mind, and with them came the negative emotions accumulated by each sacrifice line, surging like a stormy wave.
This feeling is like falling into an endless abyss.
Helplessness, despair, sadness, anger... Various emotions overlapped together, and the darkness completely enveloped it. His body trembled involuntarily, and he had a strong sense of suffocation.
[Aqi, it's time to go to work! ]
At this moment, the voice of the narrator sounded in his mind.
This voice was both familiar and unfamiliar, like an important symbol sealed in the memory.
The memories related to it came one after another.
"Abai?"
[It's me. ]
The narrator's mean voice sounded again, dragging Feng Qi, who was wrapped in negative emotions, out of the dark abyss.
The vision gradually became clear, like a black curtain slowly opening in front of his eyes.
Feng Qi panted violently, and cold sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks.
If it weren't for the narration, he felt that he might be swayed by negative emotions and enter an unconscious state of chaos.
Just like the out-of-control state described by Tianshu, he could no longer control his next behavior.
The blurred vision overlapped at this time, and he saw the scene in front of him clearly.
At this time, he was in the second underground floor of the Scarlet Research Institute, and the surrounding environment was the same as in his memory.
In front of him was a metal table, and a weakly beating brain was soaked in a specially prepared active liquid.
After recovering from his shock, he pressed the self-destruct button on the metal container and placed the metal container in the central groove.
After the metal cover on the groove closed automatically, Feng Qi stood up against the metal table.
The situation that almost lost control just now was still fresh in his memory.
This made him think again about obtaining the "unlimited memory" ability as soon as possible.
Unable to digest negative emotions, every time the memory of the sacrifice line is read, negative emotions will accumulate.
This is like a chronic poison, and sooner or later it will reach a critical point that he can't bear.
At that time, the ending is likely to be completely out of control and become a zombie that acts according to instinct.
Or maybe it was a demon filled with negative emotions.
After taking a few deep breaths, he adjusted his state and said,
"Narrator, the influence of memory overlap is still there. I can't remember what happened after entering the future dream for the time being. Tell me about the current situation."
[It doesn't seem good. In the previous future dream, at least there was the Star City Shelter, but this time after you entered the future dream, the world has completely changed. Not only did Xiao Can disappear, but even the Star City Shelter disappeared. ]
Hearing this, Feng Qi's heart sank.
He had already guessed the specific reason.
It was obvious that Star City was besieged by various forces, which led to the fall of Star City and thus withdrew from the stage of history ahead of time, and the Star City Shelter no longer existed.
He originally thought that after taking all the blame, the various forces would leave a glimmer of hope for the people of Star City, but he didn't expect that the latent forces in these fields would kill them all.
"What about other news?"
[After entering the future dream, you chose to go east and saw that the ruins of Star City were much more dilapidated than any previous time. You could also see many traces left after the war. At the same time, the types of domain monsters in this ruined city had also changed, which was obviously related to your change of history. ]
[This time, you spent a longer time looking for the secret base of the Scarlet Research Institute. After entering the secret base, you did not look through the messages of Wei Wei and other Scarlet companions, but chose to directly read the memory of the sacrifice line... In your words, even if you checked it, you would forget it temporarily due to the influence of memory overlap. It is better to wait until the memory of the sacrifice line is read before checking it. ] After
listening to the explanation of the narrator, Feng Qi immediately understood the current situation.
He turned around at this time and came to the control panel not far away, and then skillfully woke up the control panel.
Amid the humming sound of the machine, the large screen in front, which was divided into three parts, lit up, and the familiar option menu appeared in front of him.
After some operation, he clicked on Wei Wei's message box and began to look through the important information left by Wei Wei.
He was eager to know whether the information in the top-secret room contained any information related to Xiao Hei, and the details of the fall of Star City after his death.
1. I have returned to the Scarlet Research Institute. Next, I will leave you messages as usual and record every bit of my discovery.
6. I calculated the days. You should not be alive for long. Recently, I received a piece of information from Gu Ke. He said that you decided to take all the charges and wanted to use the identity of a criminal to clear the people of Star City.
Thinking about it carefully, you are really miserable. Every timeline has paid so much, but the ending is never perfect... But I must admit that the choice you made is right, which may allow the people
of Star City to avoid a disaster. The latent forces in various fields still have to consider the thoughts of the people in the city they control. As long as the people admit that they have been bewitched by you, they can be exempted from many crimes.
10. I have a piece of news to tell you. Today, you died.
But the ending did not proceed in the direction you planned. The people of Star City blocked the road to send your body to the execution ground for trial, and spontaneously formed a long escort dragon to send you to the Hero Cemetery for a lavish burial with the highest standards.
Gu Ke took a lot of photos of that time.
(Picture collection.jpg)
That night, many children knelt in front of your tombstone with flowers in their hands, and the sparks of Kongming lanterns dyed the sky above Star City red... The whole Star City was sleepless for you, sending your heroic spirit to the tomb.
From now on, you will be the immortal hero of Star City and be recorded in the history books.
Hahaha, isn't it surprising?
In fact, everyone remembers your efforts. You who are familiar with history should also know in what harsh environment Star City was built.
The ancestors of the people of Xingcheng built the barrier of Xingcheng with their flesh and blood, and countless soldiers died in battle for this. This hatred did not fade with history, but was passed down from one person to another and suppressed deep in their hearts.
Your death completely detonated the anger in the hearts of the people of Xingcheng.
What you wanted was to exchange your death for their future, but you never asked them whether they would agree.
The bloodiness engraved in the bones of the people of Xingcheng has never been lost.
In the words of a netizen on the forum, if we choose to bow to the power of the domain and slander heroes as sinners, we will have to live under the haze of the rule of the domain power in the future. What is the difference between this and recognizing the thief as our father? The spirits of our ancestors in heaven must beat us to death.
You also saw the ending. They knew that the price of choosing not to compromise was to lose the future, but they still did it.
The future situation of Xingcheng is worrying, but I saw the iron-willed Xingcheng men straighten their spines.
...
Looking through the pictures left by Wei Wei, Feng Qi suddenly moistened his eyes.
He never thought that his efforts and dedication would be rewarded.
Even though he was misunderstood and identified as a historical sinner, he had no intention of turning back since he had embarked on this road to salvation.
But this time, he suddenly had a strong sense of identity.
After repeated efforts and dedication, he finally gained recognition and understanding on this front.
[Keep working hard, and when the day comes when you completely eradicate the domain forces lurking in human society, all of humanity will become your companions, and will participate in the hegemony of all races with you, and fight against the coming of the great trend with you! ]
"Abai, I suddenly realized how you can comfort people so well."
[Do you want to hear the truth? ]
"Speak."
[You are now surrounded by negative emotions and speak with a sharp tongue. I am afraid that you will be stimulated to go crazy. If you die, I may have to be buried with you! ]
Feng Qi: ...
I ignored the narration and continued to read Wei Wei's messages in the mailbox.
What he cares about most now is the content of the pile of data records brought back from the top-secret room.
Although only a small part of the total data was brought back, perhaps there is what he wants in it.
For example, information related to Xiao Hei.
14. Star City has entered a state of martial law throughout the city, and the outside coalition forces have begun to form the "Star City Coalition Forces". It's
very infuriating to think about it.
The forces in various fields manipulate human power to fight against humans, while they hide in the rear without any losses. Perhaps this is just a game in their eyes, and the forces of all parties are using this war to test each other's bottom line.
19. I don't pay attention to the things outside anymore. In the coming days, I will devote more energy to the study of top-secret drawings. As for the intelligence brought back by Gu Ke and others who are on missions outside, I will occasionally look through it and leave you a message to explain it. However,
the field investigation team rarely goes out unless there are special circumstances.
After all, the safety of the secret base must be put first. Even if you are well prepared every time you go out, there is still a risk of exposure.
19. Most of the text in the information you brought back is difficult for us to interpret. Even Minister Lin, who is familiar with field studies, cannot interpret the meaning of these texts in the information.
The work of deciphering text requires consulting a lot of information. The current problem is that the Scarlet Database cannot connect to the external network, so it is impossible to try to decipher the meaning of the text by consulting the reference materials in the databases of the five major cities, especially the database of the Old City, which stores a large amount of field-related information.
39. We have tried many ways to decipher the text, but all failed. We decided to give up those materials recorded in special characters for the time being and study the data files that can be understood first.
43. There are incomplete data related to psychic weapons in the data you brought back, but even the incomplete data is more complete than the psychic weapon data you took back from Li Xingchen. This part of the data will help us improve the design and creation of psychic weapons.
If you want to open a war line again in the future, perhaps our Star City soldiers will be equipped with psychic weapons. Think about it, isn’t it a little exciting, a shotgun replaced by a cannon, hahahaha.
59 (Important content), this time I interpreted a very interesting document, which records a memory extraction project.
The details are very complicated, and I will briefly summarize it with you here.
If this memory extraction technology can be completed, memory will be like a film reel, and a section of it can be extracted at will and copied to make a new film reel.
Others can view your experience through this memory film, and the process is like experiencing an immersive movie.
If this technology can be improved by us, perhaps we can crack the negative impact of the brain in the vat reading memory.
But this technology also has disadvantages. Because it is a third-person viewing perspective, the sense of substitution is not very strong, and it is impossible to know the changes in the thoughts and emotions of the experiencer at the time.
Overall, this technology has advantages and disadvantages. Although it cannot replace the brain in the vat, it can also play a role when necessary.
63. The progress of the memory project is very fast. The content of this document is relatively complete, but there is no corresponding spiritual resource. It seems that the out-of-town team has to go out for an adventure and take a look at the situation outside.
89. Today, the out-of-town team returned and brought back the current information about Star City.
The situation is not optimistic. The joint army to attack Star City has been formed very smoothly and its scale is constantly expanding.
In particular, the remaining city defense fighters in Future City are ready for revenge (sigh.jpg).
Obviously, the war is inevitable.
But this war should be a protracted war, and it will not end in a very short time like you led the Dawn Army to attack the Future City.
After all, there are too many factors to consider in a real war, such as supply, casualties, rescue, etc.
It is obvious that the situation of attacking the Future City without considering casualties like you will not happen in this war.
The situation in the Future Star City will gradually become less optimistic.
129. One of the documents describes a place called "Infinite Laboratory". This place seems to be a place used by the psychics to accommodate special life. Perhaps you can focus on investigating it in a certain sacrifice line in the future.
145. The allied forces that are going to attack Star City have begun to gather at Future City. They will also follow the road you have opened up and gather from Future City to Star City... Hey, I don't care about the direction of the war. Everything is mainly about experiments. Thinking too much always distracts me and affects my appetite.
172. I haven't walked out of the private laboratory for several days. As soon as I went out, I heard a good news that the biochemical department has made some achievements in studying one of the materials.
They have cultivated the "biochemical armor" described in the ink material.
The biochemical armor described in the material is called living armor by our biochemical department.
This type of armor has life characteristics, such as being able to devour energy to repair damaged parts. There will be no awkwardness after wearing it. It fits the symbiont like skin and can help the host repair injuries. However,
the cultivation of this type of armor consumes a lot of energy. At this stage, the biochemical laboratory has only cultivated one living armor. Now it is treated as a treasure and fed with spiritual materials every day to prevent the living armor from dying suddenly.
Although the experiment of the living armor was successful, it was still far from the content described in the data. However, the biochemical department has planned to stop the research on the technology related to the living armor and only retain the current technology.
The reason is very simple. After all, the secret base is isolated from the world, and the resources that can be produced by the internal circulation are extremely limited. The cultivation of living armor is very expensive and cannot be mass-produced. Considering this issue from your perspective, we will give up this technology for the time being and wait for the future to see the situation before starting it.
...
Feng Qi is not unfamiliar with living armor.
He participated in some research on living armor in the sacrificial line of the undercover science and technology research institute.
At that time, he felt that this technology had great growth potential.
The cultivated living armor has life and can be fed with various spiritual ingredients to grow with the host.
Different spiritual materials can bring different abilities to living armor.
For example, if the black gold iron is swallowed, the living armor will be greatly improved in terms of resistance to blows.
If the evil flower is swallowed, the characteristics of the living armor in spiritual energy storage will be improved.
But as Wei Wei said in her message, the cultivation of living armor is very troublesome. It belongs to the category of single-soldier combat weapons, which is difficult to mass-produce, and the subsequent investment and consumption are also extremely high.
He did not expect that the information he brought back this time would actually contain content related to living armor.
This technology has defects, but it has great potential for future development and is a new technology worth looking forward to.
Perhaps in the future timeline, after more than 1,500 years of improvement by the Scarlet Research Institute, there will be unexpected gains.
Feng Qi continued to read the subsequent messages at this time.
204. Lu Yue led the team to send back to Xingcheng the news that the joint expeditionary force in the direction of Future City has set off and the war is about to begin.
After learning this news, our Scarlet Research Institute opened the highest meeting to discuss the next direction of Scarlet.
One thing is very clear.
We will close the entrance to the secret base after the war officially starts for a period of time, leaving only the team led by Gu Ke to perform tasks outside. At that time, the situation outside will definitely become very uncontrollable. If you go out rashly at this time, there is a high possibility of exposing the secret base.
Before closing the base, we will also make a large purchase to store some resources for the secret base for future consumption.
Thinking of having to endure another long and painful life of hundreds of years, this beautiful lady's liver hurts, and this pain will last for hundreds of years.
248. The war broke out, and the first wave of tentative attacks began.
In this battle, Mu Qing took the field, and the result was no suspense. She was beaten up by Mu Qing. She is worthy of being the child I raised. Her fighting power is bursting (arms-arms laughing.jpg), and my old mother is relieved!
283. The war has lasted for a month.
As I expected, the joint forces of major cities in this battle are obviously planning to fight a protracted war. They have blocked all the exits of Star City. Now there are unmanned reconnaissance aircraft everywhere over the city. We have decided to close the secret base for a period of time starting tomorrow, all for safety reasons.
234. The top-secret room materials distributed to various departments have been investigated and counted recently.
Of the 76 pieces of information you brought back, only 23 of them can be understood.
Of the 23 documents that we can interpret, 18 have incomplete information, and some are just catalog pages. Only 7 documents are worth studying.
After the discussion at the meeting, a table of data value evaluation was drawn up.
Among them, the most recognized and valuable one is "Memory Engineering Technology". In this technology, I saw the shadow of the "Truth Device" that you were forced to experience when you were undercover in the Science and Technology Research Institute.
The second one is the living armor.
Except for the disadvantage of huge training consumption, this type of special equipment has almost no disadvantages.
The third one is a space technology.
This technology is not complete. The data you brought back only has a brief description of the concept.
The concept describes how to make a special device that can transmit across space.
Although the data is very incomplete, it has also given us inspiration. We have decided to carry out research related to space technology.
Once this technology is successful, you can imagine the results.
For example, on the same battle line, it only takes a few breaths for all the Dawnbreakers to descend on the Future City... (You can imagine it yourself, I am too lazy to continue describing it.)
As for other technical data, they are not very valuable.
I am itching to learn more about the 53 documents that I have yet to decipher. Unfortunately, I cannot understand the text on the documents.
372. Here is a suggestion for you. In the next timeline, you may focus on improving your own strength and learn some knowledge related to domain studies.
The most professional institution in domain studies is the Old Academy.
If you have research results in this field, you may have the opportunity to join the Old Academy and get in touch with the psychics.
But the specific choice depends on your future planning.
687. The two-year war is over. Star City paid a heavy price in this war. There was no miracle in the end. We were completely defeated.
Many shadows of domain forces appeared in this battle.
Especially when they realized that Mu Qing's existence would bring many variables to the battle situation, the forces of various fields quietly joined the battlefield, and their target was Mu Qing.
Alas, personal power is limited after all.
No matter how strong Mu Qing was, she could not escape the fate of being besieged and falling into disadvantage.
In the last battle, Mu Qing was seriously injured at the north gate and was attacked by the curse power again.
But this time the scarlet rune crystal was broken, and she could no longer dissolve the invasion of the curse power, and she walked to the end of her life in the countdown.
When I received the scarlet rune crystal sent by Gu Ke, my mood suddenly became very irritable.
Although little Mu Qing was very disobedient and even rebellious, she was a child I raised by myself after all.
Alas, if I say too much, my old mother will burst into tears.
693. Breaking news, Future City was completely destroyed.
It is suspected that it was done by Xiao Hei.
After the siege of Future City ended, Xiao Hei disappeared for a while. At that time, I even thought that Xiao Hei was taken away by the psychic tribe.
But judging from the destruction of Future City this time, Xiao Hei seems to have been lurking somewhere in Future City, and only appeared now to destroy Future City.
Comparing the information you left before, I found that the time when Xiao Hei was fully activated each time seemed to be fixed.
It was like a time bomb that would be activated only when it reached a certain node in history. The
attack on the Science and Technology Research Institute by the war line obviously activated Xiao Hei for a period of time in advance, but he eventually fell into a deep sleep, and was not fully activated until recently, repeating the action of destroying Future City.
As for where Xiao Hei went next, I don’t know because the information is really limited.
But one thing is certain, our secret base must be safe.
It should be you on the main timeline who attracted Xiao Hei, at least at the end of each sacrifice line, your brain was preserved.
783. The current Star City has been completely reduced to ruins, and the resources in the city have been plundered, leaving only ruins.
The people of Star City also suffered heavy casualties in this battle.
Although I already knew that the ending would be like this, I couldn’t help trembling in my heart when I looked through the pictures brought back by Gu Ke.
After the war, the people of Star City were not all killed.
But there is actually no big difference between being alive and being dead. Without food and other resources, they can only be forced to become scavengers and have no place to live.
In the future, without the protection of the city defense force, the challenges they will face when wandering outside will be very cruel.
...
1232. I left you a special gift in my private laboratory. Remember to check it out. This is a big treasure that this beauty and all the scarlet staff have saved for you!
...
Turning to the last page of the message box, Feng Qi had many doubts in his mind.
"Abai, you also read the memory of this battle line. Do you think Xiao Hei's target is you?"
[I don't know. I don't even know who I am. How can I answer your question? ]
Feng Qi: ...
"According to Mo, humans are the vessels that seal the strongest. Does that mean I am the vessel that seals you?"
[Before hearing Mo's answer, I always thought I was just a system... The strongest or something, I have no corresponding memory at all. Why did I enter your body, I am just like you, I don't know. ]
Listening to Bai's words is like listening to a speech.
The information in this area is limited, and Feng Qi, like the narrator, cannot analyze useful information from the existing information.
"By the way, where is Xiao Hei now?"
[I haven't sensed his presence yet, but he should be on his way. Hurry up and improve your strength. ]
Feng Qi nodded immediately after hearing this.
After reaching out and pressing the shutdown button on the control panel, he turned and walked towards Wei Wei's private laboratory.
Wei Wei said in the message box that she left him a surprise in the private laboratory.
As for what this surprise is, he has a few guesses in his mind.
But the general direction is related to the cultivated domain creatures, and killing them may gain a special ability.
He didn't think too much about this, as he would know the answer as long as he saw it with his own eyes.
After walking for a while in the laboratory on the second floor of the underground, he came to the door of Wei Wei's private laboratory.
Pushing open the door, the sensor light in the room flashed a few times and then lit up.
What appeared in front of him was a dusty laboratory, many scientific research instruments in it were rusted, and the air was filled with a smell of rust and potions.
The laboratory is not large, but it has all kinds of facilities.
On the left is an experimental workbench, and behind it is a small cold storage for storing resources, which is connected to the wall. On the right are scientific research instruments for data detection, and in the corner is a control panel connected to the secret base database.
After not being opened for many years, the floor of Wei Wei's private laboratory has been covered with a layer of dust, but many traces left by Wei Wei's work can still be seen.
In the trash can next to the workbench, there are still empty glass bottles and rubber gloves for experiments.
After scanning the laboratory, Feng Qi's eyes focused on a metal box in the north corner of the laboratory.
Other scientific research instruments have stopped working and are in a dormant state. Only the green light on this metal box is still flashing, which is obviously in operation.
Coming to the metal box, Feng Qi squatted down and looked at it carefully. He
found that there was a metal pipe extending from the back of the metal box, which was connected to the energy supply pipe on the ceiling.
After reaching out and touching it, he was surprised to find that the metal box was made of the mysterious metal material provided by Tianshu.
"Abai, do you know anything about this kind of metal?"
[You finally asked the right question to the system. This is a very magical metal, commonly known as old iron. If you tap it gently with your hand, it will make a "666" sound.]
Feng Qi: ...
Ignoring the narrator's complaints, his eyes wandered around the metal box, looking for a switch that could be turned on.
After a quick glance, he found a concave blood groove on the top of the metal box.
Without hesitation, he bit his finger and dripped the blood on it.
The blood seeped into the metal box through the groove, and the lights on it began to flicker, as if verifying his identity.
A few minutes later, a crisp spring collision sound was heard, followed by the "click" sound of gears turning.
The metal box slowly opened at this time, and bursts of piercing cold white mist gushed out of the metal box.
When the white mist dissipated, Feng Qi was surprised to find that it was the suction cup lying in the container.
The suction cup curled up in the metal container, with his hands around his knees, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
Unlike the suction cups encountered in the future dream before, the scarlet rune crystal on the suction cup's arm this time was not dull. Although there were cracks, it still flashed scarlet light.
As the container was opened, the scarlet rune crystal seemed to be activated, and the jade-colored light gradually enveloped the body of the sucker, and the hoses connected to her body surface also fell off one after another.
The frost on the delicate face faded, and she looked very cute.
With her eyelashes trembling, the sucker seemed to wake up from her slumber.
Obviously, the surprise that Wei Wei mentioned in the email message refers to the sucker.
In the normal timeline, the sucker would lose consciousness in the invasion war against the Silver Moon Clan.
But in this war line, the Silver Moon Clan had been defeated by Tianshu in advance, and there was no subsequent disaster of destroying the city.
As for the subsequent Star City Defense War, it has nothing to do with the sucker.
After all, Mu Qing was still there at this time, and the sucker had not yet been born.
So in this future dream, the sucker has a high probability of having a clear consciousness, not the unconscious state in his memory.
While waiting, the sucker slowly opened his eyes.
Her eyes were no longer silver-white like death, but scarlet eyes like demon pupils.
Sucker, who had just woken up, slowly crawled out of the metal container with a confused look, looked around, and finally focused his eyes on Feng Qi.
"Aqi..." she murmured.
"Aqi!" The babyish voice suddenly became high-pitched, and then suddenly threw herself into Feng Qi's arms, with scarlet light flowing in her eyes, looking extremely excited.
Seeing Sucker like this, Feng Qi smiled and reached out to rub Sucker's little head.
"Aqi! Aqi! Aqi!"
At this time, Sucker struggled to jump off him, like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and began to run around in Wei Wei's private laboratory on all fours, crashing several scientific research instruments along the way.
"Hey, hey."
Sucker, who had run around the private laboratory for several laps, suddenly stopped in front of him and jumped towards him.
"Aqi!"
Feng Qi saw this and immediately reached out to catch Sucker.
Feeling the little head rubbing against his chest, he reached out and pinched Sucker's pink cheeks, feeling relieved.
Compared with the sucker in his memory, the sucker at this time is full of vitality and vigor.
In many future dreams, he always saw the sucker living alone in the ruins. The loneliness and confusion really made him feel distressed.
This time in the future dream, he finally saw the sucker with consciousness.
[Little brother, let me interrupt... It must be a good thing for the sucker to have consciousness. It can significantly improve your efficiency in killing monsters and is of great help to your strength improvement... But, do you still have the heart to say "next time for sure" to the sucker? ]
8200 words two-in-one chapter, yesterday's update has been made up.
Everyone go to bed early~
