: Leading to the Final 50

At that time, as the giant cocoon of the Kraken sank into the sea, Kai Xin had a strange premonition—it would come back.

Someday in the future, the cocoon will hatch, and the contents of the cocoon will reappear in the world.

According to the investigation of Mechanical Dawn, the secret sect wants Cocoon to return to the sea, and they also want their god to return. Melville’s fairy tales also seem to reveal this point. The cocoon on the Kraken may be a god, or it may be the dying son of the god in the fairy tale.

Assuming that He is a God, then the real body of this God is revealed too easily. Kai Xin always feels that God should not appear in such an image, so could Cocoon be His heir?

The underground river is also full of alien creatures, which is exactly the same as the scene on the Kraken… Could it be that the cocoon returned here through the dark river after sinking into the sea?

The end of the underground river is the ocean?

Kai Xin pursed his lips and decided to use the detector to verify his conjecture.

The detector’s independent battery is not enough to support it to work for so long, so Kai Xin turned off one of the flying detectors, let it stop running and fell into the water, drifting freely with the current. During the drifting period, it will turn on regularly and send a signal to Kaixin. If the final signal appears in the sea…it means that the cocoon of the Kraken may really return to the underground residence of the city through the dark river.

It’s just… why did he come back here? Is there anything special here? Is the underground of the Federal Administrative Center the equivalent of a home for Cocoon?

Kai Xin couldn’t get an answer, so he temporarily drew his attention away from the complicated thoughts. The detector’s camera took pictures of the murals… Maybe you can get the answer by looking at the murals.

Before looking at the murals, Kai Xin cautiously activated the image recognition function to scan the images. Finally, the system concluded that these were some ancient murals. The content of the paintings was as simple as a child’s hand-painted, full of symbols with unknown meanings, and the pictures were continuous. , occupying the entire cave wall.

I don’t know how many thousand years ago it was. It is very difficult for modern people to interpret. The places where these murals are located may not have had underground rivers thousands of years ago, so people can enter them to create murals.

Kai Xin frowned and browsed the murals crudely.

The first mural is a group of villains kneeling around the stone platform… But what they kneel to… is empty? There is nothing on the stone platform.

Kai Xin studied for a long time, and saw the clues. The traces on the rock were sunken downwards, and there were inconspicuous cracks on it, and there were suspected chisels on the edge.The notch left – someone destroyed the content of the mural.

That person erased the sacrificial objects on the stone platform.

She continued to look down with deep doubts. What followed was a group of small people drinking something. They raised their heads and made movements like drinking.

Looking back, some of the villains were lying on the ground with twisted limbs, as if they were in great pain, while the others seemed to be extraordinarily strong… The strong man stabbed the fallen man to death with a stone spear.

In the end, more and more people died, and there were more and more corpses and skulls lying upside down on the murals. Only one person was left climbing up on the piled up skulls. He climbed… climbed… climbed to the top.

He knelt down, folded his hands reverently in front of his chest, and raised his head upwards, as if he was worshiping something supreme… But what exactly was he worshiping? The mural was painted, and it must have been painted, but the traces of the chisel appeared again, and the person who destroyed the mural erased the thing that the last person worshiped from the mural, leaving only a blank space.

Kai Xin let out a long breath and rubbed the space between his brows, not knowing whether to feel regret or rejoice. I regret that I didn’t learn the truth from the murals, and I’m glad I didn’t go crazy because I knew too much like Melville?

The villains on the murals should drink the blood of the gods, and those who fell to the ground were people who couldn’t bear the erosion and mutation of the blood of the gods. As for what they worshiped, there was no doubt that they were gods. But in the end, the villain who climbed to the top alone by stepping on the skull seems to be a little different from other villains. After he climbed to the top, he kowtowed again. Does it mean that he can meet the gods at the end?

She sorted out her thoughts, got up from the cold stone bench, opened the space vortex and left here.

The air in Stone Hall is cold and humid, and the smell of water can be clearly smelled. The air on the surface is full of compounds emitted by modern industries. In a big city like the federal administrative center, it is still impossible to stay away from environmental pollution.

When Kai Xin returned to the ground from the underground stone hall, it was as if she had returned to the modern age from the ancient and ignorant barbaric era. The light from the technological civilization made her feel a little relieved, but only a little.

She felt like the protagonist in a horror movie. Ghosts would not give up invading just because the lights were turned on in the house, nor would they stop killing because there were many people around her.

The next target is the curator of the museum.

Others may not be insiders, but he must be.

Before going to the curator’s residence, Kai Xin hesitated, and decided to take a temporary detour to visit Li Guanran in Fugang City for five minutes.

She has contacted a group of players who can exchange information, maybe there will be some extra gains.

Hundreds of kilometers arrived in no time. Kai Xin stepped out of the vortex and spread her spiritual tentacles on the spot. Her “eyes” crossed the distant space and came to the staff residence area of ​​Fugang City University.

Covered by the spiritual network, anyone’s mental fluctuations are invisible, and Kai Xin found the person he was looking for without any effort.

Li Guanran is very tired, she is sleeping… Now it is indeed time for bed.

Kui Xin’s spiritual tentacles connected to Li Wanran’s spirit, and the dream attack of extraordinary ability was launched simultaneously, and Li Wanran’s spirit fell into the dream that Kui Xin had woven.

Li Wanran opened her eyes, looked around blankly, and found that she was in the university campus, she was sitting on a bench, and there was someone sitting beside her.

“Spikehead?” Li Wanran looked around in surprise, “Where is this?”

“Dream space, I came in a hurry, and the dream weaving is relatively rough. I came this time to exchange information with you.” Kui Xin made a long story short, straight to the point, “Professor, do you know any information about the secret sect? No matter what Whether it is important information or some trivial information, I need it very much.”

Li Wanran came back to his senses, and smiled wryly: “It’s too difficult to pry out information from a group of fanatics. There are things about them that cannot be explained by science. I know more, not necessarily more than you. Digging information from them The means are very limited, you can’t use spiritual supernatural ability, I don’t know if it’s feasible to read it with a brain machine, if you have the resources there, you can give it a try.”

“Why can’t you use spiritual supernatural abilities?” When Kai Xin asked this question, he had already vaguely guessed the answer in his heart.

“The stuff in their head…is like a contagious virus. You can try to parse a psychopath and figure out the logic behind his crazy behavior, but you can’t try to empathize with a psychopath if you’re 100 percent Understand him and sympathize with him, then you are not far from madness, and only a madman will understand a madman. Of course, what I am talking about has nothing to do with psychiatry and psychology in modern medicine, and I just use them as an analogy.” Li Wanran Say.

Li Guanran’s answer shows that what Kai Xin did before was correct. She did not rely on her strong mental ability to forcibly invade the minds of the believers to obtain information about God. That may cause her spirit to be “infected” by the crazy believers , becomes uncontrollable.

“Exploring the truth is the same as stepping into madness?” Kai Xin asked.

“Yes.” Li Guanran said, “It seems that you can think of this without my reminder.”

“The reason why I reconfirmed to you is that it is difficult for me to grasp the line. If I know too much, I will lose my mind. If I know too little, I will not be able to piece together the whole picture of the incident.” Kai Xin said, “There is no one Is there a way to know the truth and stay sane?”

“At the moment, it doesn’t exist.” Li Guanran said, “This is also in line with the underlying logic of the game – everything has a price. People need to use their own reason to exchange answers. You ask meI really can’t answer the deeper information… If I can answer it, maybe it means that I am on the verge of madness. ”

Kai Xin was silent for a while, and asked her after a while: “Depriver No. 12345, do you know what’s going on with him?”

“He was almost the first depriver we contacted, because he exposed his ID on the forum, and we paid a lot of attention to him.” Li Wanran said, “Have you met him?”

“I met it, so I ask you for proof.” Kai Xin said, “Now prove what he said is true.”

It seems that the questions that should be asked have been asked, and Kai Xin has nothing to say.

She was about to say goodbye to Li Wanran, but she heard her seriously ask: “Have you ever thought about why the game started?”

Kai Xin was stunned, “Of course I thought about it… and I almost got the answer, the answer I guessed. Because I’m not sure whether the answer is correct, so I don’t plan to tell others too much at this stage. All I can say is… An unknown being wants to invade our world with malicious purposes, and this game is the means by which he achieves his goals.”

“You are indeed the one who has gone the farthest and is closest to the end among the players. The arguments you mentioned have also been raised by some of my colleagues. Most of them are just wild guesses, but wild guesses are better than no guesses. “Li Wanran said, “Then do you think the integration of the world is good or bad for us?”

“From my personal point of view, I think the harm is greater.” Kai Xin said.

“Then do you think the existence of the game system is more beneficial or disadvantageous for players?” Li Wanran asked.

Kai Xin fell into hesitation, “The disadvantages… No, it’s not that the disadvantages are great, but the benefits are great.”

The game is a game of gods, and the game system should also be controlled by gods, including the forum, which is also a part of the game system, so many tasks issued by the system and various rules announced on the forum will induce players, make players make wrong responses, and generate wrong answers. Cognition, but on the other hand, the game system also guides the player. When Kai Xin knew nothing, it was the game system that gave her guidance, and the completion of each stage of the task brought her closer to the end.

“According to what you said, there is a separation between the game itself of the gods and the actions of the game system.” Li Wanran said, “Gods are not neutral, but the system is neutral, which is too contradictory. If I want to use some Form invades another world, why should I give guidance to anchors? They are just anchors, just be anchors who know nothing.”

Kai Xin thought slowly, “Maybe…the guidance he originally intended to give was distorted and malicious, but it was distorted by another existence…”

Kai Xin had thought about this question before. The answer she came up with before was that the two gods pulled each other and tug-of-war with strength, but they failed to win each other for the time being, which led to the existence of this “neutrality”.

Neutral…Neutral…It doesn’t seem to be that neutral.

Because the prompts of the game system at certain times are quite “good intentions”, it guides Kaixin to investigate the port case related to the Kraken, reminds the player to be vigilant against Fang Zhi, the bloody man who kills everywhere, and guides the player to investigate the dark world. According to Kaixin’s own will, she issued a task to her.

It’s like, there is always a pair of eyes behind Kai Xin. He looks at her, watches her, guides her, and lets her go to the end.

She felt trembling, and at the same time, she examined herself and thought about herself.

She asked herself: Are all the choices I have made since I entered this game really out of my heart, or were they induced by some unknown existence? Am I still “me” the moment I make a choice?

After careful consideration, she got the answer: that was my choice, I was not induced, and I was still me. I choose to kill, I choose to take revenge, I choose to accept my companions, I choose to make concessions for my world, I choose to go to the end!

Kai Xin took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled that breath, as if to expel all the confusion, hesitation, and fear in his heart from his body.

“Thank you for your reminder, Professor, communicating with you has given me a new perspective of thinking.” She nodded towards Li Wanran.

“You can think about it without me. You are too busy, and my teaching life at Fugang University is relatively leisurely. Compared with you, I have more time to think, and there are people like me on my side who are also working on These thoughts.” Li Wanran looked at Kai Xin intently for a while, “Tired?”

She spoke in a tone like a friend, like a sister.

“A little bit, but I can’t rest yet.” Kai Xin smiled at her, “I’m leaving, goodbye.”

Li Wanran nodded to her, “I wish you all the best.”

Kai Xin got up, and with her movements, the dream disappeared like a hazy mist in an instant.

In Fugang City, Kai Xin’s half-closed eyes opened.

She stood still for a while, and then moved back to the Federal Administrative Center. With a clear goal, she went straight to the home of the curator of the Religious Museum.

Adam helped Kaixin check the curator’s driving record. She knew which high-end community he lived in. She only needed to read the mind of the community security guard to know which house he lived in.

To treat believers, Kai Xin can’t use mental reading roughly. She plans to torture people after arresting them. If they can’t be asked, they will be inserted into the brain.

The curator of the museum lived alone, and Kai Xin broke into his home without experiencing any twists and turns along the way.

However, things were completely beyond Kai Xin’s expectations.

he died.

In the spacious living room, the curator of the museum fell to the ground with dilated pupils. There was no injury on the surface of his body, only a stopped pulse and heartbeat.It shows that he is already a corpse.

Kai Xin scanned his body and found that his body temperature was very low, and he had obviously been dead for a long time.

She knelt down to check his body, but found nothing.

Kai Xin had a feeling that he couldn’t do anything about it. If the curator of the museum died within two hours, the organs could be extracted and preserved when his brain was active enough, and he could also try to read the brain, but his death was obviously more than that. Time, it is impossible to read the memory from it.

When the corpse is useless, it is unwise to take it away, which may scare the snake away. Kai Xin didn’t dare to take blood and use the blood spirit, impure blood is a trivial matter, but if there is divine blood in his blood, it would be a major matter.

Kai Xin cautiously took a little blood from the curator, and planned to take it to Mechanical Dawn for testing before considering reading it.

The death of the curator is more or less a major event that can be reported on the local news. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time.

After taking the blood, Kai Xin left directly.

She retrieved the employee information copied in the museum, and checked where the employees lived one by one. The security guards are peripheral members of the secret order, but what about the employees? Can catch one is one. Kai Xin was especially suspicious of the guide who showed her around the museum, he gave her a strange feeling.

She confirmed the employee’s address and rushed over without stopping.

However, as soon as he arrived at the lecturer’s residence, Kai Xin heard the siren.

She was startled, and hid in the dark, watching the investigation department with forensic doctors and investigators push out a corpse from the side of an ordinary residential building. The corpse had been wrapped in a body bag, and the surrounding residents There was a lot of discussion.

The commentator is also dead? !

The security guard interrogated the first resident who found the body. His face was pale with fright, and he was trembling when he spoke: “I went out to buy vegetables, and suddenly I saw a man lying on the ground next to the building covered in blood. This young man must have committed suicide by jumping off the building.” It’s none of my business!”

The security guard also comforted him: “It’s okay, taking you away is just a routine investigation, and you can come back after completing the transcript.”

No one cared about a note floating at the scene of the crime. The note was stained with blood and rolled with the wind.

Kai Xin stepped forward, picked up the note, and saw a line of scrawled words written on it.

“Those who haven’t returned will surely return, and those who haven’t recovered will surely recover.”

Turning over the note, there was another line of writing on the back.

“The answer is hidden behind the door.”
