The first thousand four hundred and fifty-four chapters do a big job
The initial impact of the anti-tide pollution leak may not be the sentinel, but the Cangqiu Space Station located on the synchronous orbit. This was a sudden and bold conjecture by Gao Wen, but this conjecture is not groundless.
In fact, this is exactly what he has never figured out: the tower trapped by the body of the tide is located in the present world. Judging from the "connection" between the facilities left by the setter, if the tide wants to penetrate outward and escape, then his most "convenient" path to escape should be the same as the tide that was in the present world and was unsupervised at the time. But why did His power eventually flow to the "sentinel" located in the realm of the gods?
You should know that the entire sentry system is located in the "deep" area at the bottom of the deep sea, and is separated from the present world by a barrier of boundaries including the shadow world and the shadow world. It is also bound by the eternal agreement left by the setter and cannot leave his post without hesitation. If the power of the tide is to pass through these layers of barriers to pollute the sentry system, it will be a matter of half the effort with twice the effort, so why does he choose this path?
Retreat is indeed a crazy ancient god. His behavioral logic is irrational, but even so, Retreat has the most basic instinct, which is supported by many evidence. Since He acts according to his instinct, it means... He should choose the most convenient way to escape according to his instinct and spread to the sky station...
And now, this most unreasonable thing finally has an answer. The tide of reversal did spread to the sky at first, but He was blocked, so He had to turn his power to another system left by the Settler: the Sentinel.
The tide was blocked by a mysterious hall filled with shadow power in the Cangqiu Station. This hall seemed to be related to an existence called the "Star Map Custodian"... What is this "Star Map Custodian"?
A huge question arose in Gao Wen's mind, and with this question, his attention fell on the huge "pillar" in the center of the hall again. No matter what the "star map custodian" mentioned on the terminal is, everything in this hall is obviously for this mysterious special authority, and the "pillar" in front of him, wrapped in layers of purple-black crystal thorns, is obviously the core of the hall.
The set sailor will not make meaningless settings in important facilities like the Sky Station.
He began to switch his vision in the monitor and tried to use multiple filters to observe more details on the pillar. The purple-black thorn bushes caused some interference to his vision, but he seemed to see something interesting in the gaps of the thorn bushes. At the same time, he heard Berlanta's voice ringing in his mind: "Reverse the tide...that crazy ancient god should be dead..."
"Yes, the senior advisers of the Theocracy Council have confirmed it," Gao Wen replied casually. "There should be no doubt about this. Although the death of gods is rare, once they really die, the changes in the vision caused by them cannot be concealed. The Council found evidence of the decline of divine power in the wreckage samples of the tide."
"But isn't there only half of the corpse of God falling to 'our'?" Berlanta's voice was still a little worried, "I don't know where the half of His body is. The god's vitality is so strong, maybe the half of him is still alive..."
"The power of the god is a whole. Even if the god corpse is cut into two parts, its 'essence' will still maintain unity in a higher dimension. This is what Ms. Egg told me," Gao Wen's voice echoed in the darkness. "The overall state of the god can be determined by observing some fragments of the god. At this point, several senior consultants are sure."
"Is that... I'll feel a little relieved," Berlanta breathed a little, and then his expression was a little weird. "I may be a little too sensitive in this regard..."
"I understand your tension. The tide against the tide has left so much shadow in the dragon society that even if He died, the sudden sight of the traces He left many years ago will still make a dragon nervous," Gao Wen's voice sounded calm and reassuring. "On the other hand, even if the tide against the tide dies, the traces He left here deserve our caution. There may be an amazing historical secret in this space station far from the surface... Hum?"
At the end of Gao Wen's speech, a hint of doubt suddenly appeared, which made Nicholas subconsciously speak: "What did you find?"
"I just noticed that there were some strange decorative patterns on the surface of this 'pillar' among the thorns," Gao Wen said in confusion. "Now it seems that these patterns are not simple decorations... They are spread all over the entire pillar, and in style..."
As he said, he mobilized all the monitors in the hall and activated a special scanning field. In the black and white picture, he saw that the thorn bushes covered on the surface of the pillars began to appear translucent, and the patterns hidden under the thorn bushes became slightly clearer as well.
The winding complex patterns cover the surface of the huge pillar, spreading from its foundation to the near ceiling, and most importantly... those patterns are by no means the words of the Settlement, nor are they any "decoration" that has appeared in the Settlement ruins!
Gao Wen tried hard to distinguish these patterns and wanted to record them, but the shadowy thorns still interfered with his vision. In some key places, all he could see was a turbid shadow.
"Can these 'thorns' be removed?" Gao Wen said suddenly, "There is something on the surface of the pillar, but it is blocked by the thorns."
"They don't seem to be indestructible," Alice-6 said, "but we don't know what the impact will be after destroying these thorns, so we haven't tried it yet."
"Test it," Gao Wen said after a moment of silence, "take safety protection."
Alice-6 looked at Nicholas, who immediately floated up and down: "I understand, start testing unknown substances according to standard safety procedures and evacuate unrelated personnel from the site."
As the order was issued, the advance team immediately began to execute the orders according to the standard process that had been operated many times in the past few dozen days. All unrelated personnel, including the Dragon Clan and the Iron Man soldiers, quickly left the hall and retreated to the connecting corridor outside the hall. The deep-sea witch Kassandra led several Siren team members to stay near the thorns, each preparing cutting and sampling equipment.
When the Joint Engineering Team encounters suspicious items or unfamiliar areas where there are possible dangerous factors, they will find a few siren to sacrifice them. Then everyone hides in a safer place to see if the deep-sea salted fish are dead...
To be honest, this operation process did bring some psychological pressure to the team members with normal values at the beginning. After all, it is difficult for the race that first contacted Siren to adapt to the special "racial nature" of this group of deep-sea creatures immediately, but after working together side by side for so long, this situation has changed. Now even the most conservative person can face Siren calmly and willingly to die. Sometimes, you can even see the same Siren to die several times a day...
As for the Sirens? The Sirens were very satisfied with this. They seemed to judge that the alien members in the engineering team had finally become "friends", and they were happy to compare this.
Berlanta was completely incomprehensible to the wonderful psychological state of the Siren, but no matter what, she had to admit that the existence of this group of undead creatures greatly reduced the difficulty of operating in this "Silent Space War". After retreating to the corridor outside, she was still looking at the direction where Cassandra and others were. She couldn't help but sigh to Asharena beside her: "If it weren't for them, I don't know how much price we would have to pay in this crisis-ridden space station to get to this point..."
"If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have just rushed in or thrown into the team members to test the power when we encountered the disabled cabin and unknown devices," Asharena couldn't help rolling her eyes. "I now feel that the existence of this group of 'deep sea friends' has seriously affected all of us's views. After we go back, everyone must make some psychological adjustments to re-adapt to the 'common sense' of acting with normal people..."
"...I think the 'all' you mean should not include Miss Alice and her Iron Soldiers," Berlanta shrugged, "they were the first to adapt to the strange style of Siren."
While Asharena and Berlanta were muttering in the corridor, Cassandra in the Shadow Hall and her teammates had already arrived in front of the thorn structure. The high Zhoubo cutter in the form of a short sword emitted a faint light in the darkness, making a low buzzing sound in the hands of the deep-sea witch. She calmed down and swung the snake tail slowly approached the pile of thorns: "I'm going to start..."
A group of siren behind her immediately raised the recording equipment in their hands and talked: "Start it, start. Hurry up, sister. Don't be too slow and wait!"
Listening to the movement behind him, Kassandra finally gritted her teeth and inhaled, raised the Gao Zhoubo short knife in her hand and slashed on the intact purple-black thorn closest to him.
The sparks burst out, and a greater recoil force than expected came. These intact purple-black thorns were obviously not comparable to those "low-quality products" that were contaminated by counter-tides and were broken when touched. Their solidity surprised Cassandra. But the next second, she heard a slight crisp cracking sound coming into her ears. In front of the high-frequency oscillating molecular blade, the extremely hard thorns finally broke down!
Just like Alice 6's judgment, this thing is indeed not invincible.
At this same time, in the study room covered with a blue velvet carpet, the amber ears, which were slid comfortably on the chair while eating melon seeds and sucking tea, suddenly became excited and suddenly stood up, and then his arm bounced up as if he was electrocuted: "Oh my god..."
A handful of melon seed skin was instantly raised by her.
"What's the situation... the cramps are so big?" The next second, Amber looked at her arm in confusion. The feeling of electric shock just now seemed like an illusion, but the feeling that came from somewhere, which might be called "illusion limb pain", was clearly left in her memory. She checked her unscathed arm, then lowered her head and bent down to check the small round table where she placed melon seeds, as if she was trying to find out some hidden trap, "Nothing..."
After a while, the half-elf lady stood up and said, "The old rice dumplings will not poison the melon seeds..."
While muttering, she subconsciously raised her head and looked in the direction where Gao Wen was sitting, and her expression suddenly became a little stiff.
I saw Gao Wen, who was sitting behind the desk, was in a state of "meditation", his eyes were closed, and melon seeds were everywhere on his hair and collar...
Amber finally exclaimed: "Hey! He is awake and must take out the Trailblazer Sword! No, he has to clear the evidence of guilt before he wakes up..."
...
Kassandra stared at the thorns cut off by Gao Zhoubo's short knife. After a brief shock, she couldn't help but smile: "Hey, it seems to work. This thing can be cut off, and it is not much stronger than the big squid!"
The sisters behind her heard a bit of regret: "Hey, yes yes yes yes... it's really not strong, I thought the uncontaminated part was so hard. I was in vain to look forward to it."
"Stop talking," Cassandra turned her head and looked at the Siren who were mumbling and putting away the recording equipment. "All of them come and help, we have to clean up this large area! At least we have to outline the lower half of the pillars."
Several Siren team members came over, and one of them looked up at the large thorn bushes that spread upward in the darkness and the large pillar device that was faintly visible among the thorn bushes, muttering: "It takes several small cutting knives to handle such a big thing... Is it a big job?"
"Do a big job! Do a big job!"
The words of this team member instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the sisters. Amid the cheers of "doing a big job", these powerful creatures from the deep sea released their own power elements to spread in the air, and their invisible limbs came from the darkness. The boundary between virtual and real was redefined in the slight sound of waves. The elegant snake tails disappeared, replaced by huge and terrifying bodies, tough and smooth tentacles, flashing scales and runes shining like waves, and the charming and huge female half bodies connected to this huge sea demon body.
This is the power of mimicry, the inspiration brought by the big squid, and it is a very convenient posture for "doing a big job".
Several siren who transformed into the posture of a sea demon came to Thorns. When their huge bodies were only about height, they could almost reach one-third of the pillar. Cassandra also stretched out her tentacles in the dark. As the ends of the tentacles flipped, more than a dozen high Zhoubo cutting knives were taken out by her "body"...
The next moment, she rushed towards the "thorn bush" that spread like a giant tree in the shadow hall. Gao Zhoubo's blade flew up and down, and the fire and crisp sounds of breaking in the darkness continued.
"Be careful! Don't break the pillars inside! Throw the falling thorns away, it's so big. Who is going to bother me?... Cut your side or cut me?"
