"Why is there a crystal here?"
Lin looked at the crystal in her hand. While Lin was pondering over this, the scenery around her suddenly changed.
After the change, Lin found that the character she was playing had arrived in a completely white space. This place felt like …
"Since you're here, it means that you've gone through quite a few things within the crystal"
While Lin was thinking, a voice suddenly spoke up.
Lin turned to look and found that a … sphere had appeared where there was nothing before.
This sphere … should be Ershi. It looked similar to the pictures she had seen in the information, but it was a bit darker and did not have the bright feeling it had in the pictures.
But this was obviously normal. The bright pictures had been processed, which was how they usually looked in the void.
This Ershi was about 10 meters in diameter, and the reason it appeared here … seemed to be to talk about this memory?
It wasn't speaking in a language, but rather using something similar to brain waves to let Lin know what it wanted to say.
[There's no need to try and talk to me, because this is only the content of the record] The Ershi sphere continued to transmit information: [Now, being here means that you've completed a certain level of the record, there's still …]
"Where is this place?"
The Ershi's words suddenly stopped. Lin noticed that an Atlan had appeared here.
This Atlan was the Atlan who had entered the memory together with Lin after coming into contact with the crystal. For it to appear here … seemed possible. Did this also mean that it had completed a certain level of the record?
"Ah!" all of a sudden. When this Atlan saw Lin. It exclaimed in shock: "You're … here? What is this place? "
"This seems to be a recording point" Lin said: "What were you doing before this? In other words, what was your role? "
"I …" the Atlan was a bit surprised. Then, it told Lin about what happened to it.
Just like Lin, it also played a role, but the role it played seemed to be standing opposite of Lin, a member of that church.
At first, it went to the temple in a daze, then accepted the church's mission. The mission was to announce the arrival of a calamity and create panic in the city.
Because it also wanted to see how things were in the past, it did as it was told. Later, it did some other missions, including capturing the hidden unbelievers with a group of church troops, and creating some strange things.
The strange thing was mainly made of crystals, and it was said to be used to welcome the arrival of God.
However, its main task was still to fight. It was always running around with a group of troops to solve all kinds of problems. Once, at night, it even received a mission to go to the city's underground sewers to release the sharks it had been raising, saying that it would be used to chase after the escaped members of the royal family.
But later, he heard that it didn't seem to be successful, so the Church seemed to be very concerned. They decided to send out a fleet to chase after the target.
However, it did not continue to participate because it later received another important mission. The Church decided to gather a large number of troops to attack the palace.
It was said that the king and many of the Atlans in the palace were not religious. They wanted to use this opportunity to defeat the king and take over the throne, allowing the church to rule the entire Atlan city.
Before this mission even began, it came across a piece of crystal and came here.
"Our city in the past was so beautiful …" in the end, Atlan sighed and said: "Unfortunately, it is going to … perish just like that. Why did it have to be like this? We should have been able to develop well, but it's all because of those Gods and whatnot. They always want to do strange things "
It seems that this Atlan is very 'sentimental'. So it's playing the role of the church … Lin felt that this was very interesting. She wondered if its story would continue or stop when Lin woke up. And if it died, would it affect the piece of crystal outside?
Lin also had an idea that could allow more Atlans to be connected, and they could also play different roles.
"Since you're here, it means that you've already passed many things within the crystal." While Lin was thinking, the Ershi ball in the middle spoke again, as if it was repeating what it said before.
After listening to it repeat what it said, Lin heard what it didn't say before.
"Next, this record has a very long content." The Ershi ball said: "It can extend into many 'stories', but the necessary content will not be that long. After completing the necessary content, you can return here. You can hold the crystal and imagine at any time, then you will be able to enter and exit this place at any time. Be careful, do not think of this method as a way to escape death and danger"
After that, the Ershi ball disappeared.
Lin felt like … this was a … 'game'. In fact, Lin had played a similar 'game' in her dream, and the creator of this game should be the Ershi itself.
Of course, its goal wasn't a game, but to allow those who came into contact with the crystal to understand certain things through these records.
"If that's the case, I'll be going back first" Atlan said: "I'm very concerned about what happens next …"
After that, it disappeared.
Lin also planned to leave with the crystal, but after she followed Er Shuqiu's instructions … it didn't seem to have any effect.
The scenery around her was still the same.
Could this thing malfunction?
"You are special" While Lin was wondering, the Ershi ball suddenly reappeared and told Lin: "You are a special target, so you need special treatment"
So that's what it was … it seemed like it wanted to say something, so it told Lin to stay here? Lin seemed to be very special, she wasn't Atlan, but she could understand Atlan's record.
"You should already know what kind of creature I am" the Ershi ball said. Er Shuqiu said, "I already knew about you a long time ago. Although you probably don't know me, you know one of my … companions."
"I learned about you from it, so I thought you might be able to find my location through it. But as you can see … I'm not at this location right now"
"I'm at a place very far away, although I want to meet you once, I can't tell you my location here because it might be dangerous"
"That's why I've placed this record here, and specially arranged a character that you can play … through this character, you'll be able to learn about our world's history and meet many creatures"
"Some creatures are from different eras, but in this record, these creatures would occasionally appear at the same time, because it would be a pity to only show creatures from a single era"
"Through that companion of mine, I learned a lot about you, so I specially prepared this record for you. If you want to know more about me and my location, you'll be able to find it here"
"However, the process isn't simple. Because of their relationship, you should already know about them, they're the 'false Gods'. These things are very dangerous … but they're not very good at many things, so I believe they won't be able to find my location here, only you can"
"However, if you fail too many times, you won't be able to find my location either. Perhaps we'll meet again in the future, but that will be a very, very long time in the future …"
"When you make new progress, I'll tell you more"
After saying that, the Ershi ball disappeared. Lin then tried using the crystal and found that she could return to her original location, which meant …
It seemed that this role-playing wasn't something strange, but something that Ershi had specially prepared for Lin?
It said that it already knew that Lin would come, which meant that it was connected to the Star Bus that Lin encountered … Lin didn't know about this at all.
Perhaps they had secretly contacted each other, or perhaps the Star Bus was able to know the location and situation of its companions.
After all, with their living conditions, it was possible that they wouldn't meet another companion for a very long time, so they had a special method of communication. In fact, Lin didn't communicate much with the Star Bus, since it quickly crashed into the brain spirit and died.
However, it seemed to have given Ershi a lot of information.
Ershi believed that Lin was able to find it because of the Atlans living on the Star Bus.
After all, a large number of Atlans once lived on the Star Bus, and they lived on the Star Bus for a very long time. Later on, they built a shelter underground. Ershi believed that Lin could find this place through the Atlans, so it purposely left this … crystal for Lin to know.
It seemed that it really wanted to know Lin, and Lin also wanted to meet it.
Ershi's Star Bus … gave Lin a different feeling compared to the Star Bus.
Simply put, it was more 'mature'. Of course, in terms of size, it was bigger than the Star Bus.
However, its brainwaves gave off a more mature feeling. Lin felt that it knew a lot of things, so the reason why this role-playing was so complicated was because it didn't want the micromachines to know its location through this …
But what made Lin feel strange was that Ershi seemed to know Lin's personality. It knew that Lin wanted to see its history and the creature that lived there.
Was this what the Star Bus told it? Or was there some other reason …
'If that's the case, let's continue with this role-playing.' At the same time, Lin also wanted to see what role the other Atlans would play if they were allowed to play.
Perhaps they were acting as characters who were active in the city. Only Lin was able to leave Atlan's city and explore.
No matter what, he wanted to know more about it …
