"It's here..."
Under the snowy sky, the Scholar was quietly moving forward.
Her target was a building in front of her. The building was called a museum. It was hemispherical and looked very large.
The Scholar had detected the signal of the Altered Ones here. They seemed to have... come here.
However, the Scholar noticed that the signal from three thousand kilometers away was still there. It was just that there was an additional signal here.
No matter what, the Scholar had to take a look.
The Scholar was alone now. The demon and the commander had said that they wanted to gather the local residents, so they did not move with the Scholar. Although the commander was still suspicious of the Scholar, it could not trap her, so the Scholar could continue to do what she wanted to do.
The Scholar had already stepped into the museum...
As soon as she entered the museum, the first thing she saw was... the ticketing area. The vast hall was filled with collapsed tables and chairs. It seemed that there had been a battle here. Perhaps because of the cold and hunger, the demons here had fought and robbed each other.
The Scholar quickly walked to the entrance of a historical exhibition room. She lowered her body and walked in. What the Scholar saw... were many intact stone slabs.
These stone slabs were neatly arranged in the exhibition room. Written on them were densely packed. The Scholar looked at them and found that they were mainly records of the history of the city from a long time ago. There was nothing special about them.
However, there was something special in this exhibition room... that was it.
The signal was now only twenty meters away from the Scholar. Therefore, the Scholar could see that between the stone slabs in the distance, there was... something different.
It looked like... a scepter. It was close to two meters tall, with a glowing sphere at the top. It stood between the stone slabs and looked quite out of place. The signal was coming from this scepter.
The Scholar turned invisible and slowly approached the target. She was not sure if this thing was dangerous or not...
However, when she was two meters away, the Scholar found that the scepter did not have any special reaction. On closer inspection, it did not seem to be anything special.
At least there were no marks or words on it. So, the Scholar walked closer and reached out her hand... to touch it.
Dong.
This... thing that looked like a scepter made a sound when the Scholar touched it. This sound... the Scholar felt like she had heard it somewhere before.
That's right, it was the sound it made when it kicked those metal trees outside the city … Those trees were actually hollow metal, so it was normal for them to make such a sound. But why would this scepter make such a sound when it was poked?
It seemed like this was a tool with some kind of function, and the person who modified it was not here …
Dong! The continuous sound continued, almost once every second, and the interval was exactly the same. It only stopped after 100 seconds.
"What's the point of all this …"
Just as the Scholar was about to go up and continue the inspection, it suddenly heard … footsteps.
The Scholar Walker turned around and saw a demon appear at the entrance of the exhibition hall.
And it wasn't just one, there were many demons. They all looked very weak and should be refugees here.
The Scholar was still invisible, so the demons did not notice her. They were all walking towards the scepter, chatting as they walked.
"I haven't been able to find any food recently … Maybe it's all gone. No, there must be a little more. I still have some here. You can have them. Is that so? Thank you so much! "
They were all talking about their daily lives, and it seemed very … normal.
However, the Scholar Walker noticed that there was an abnormal demon among them. It was that … commander. Its appearance in armor was very conspicuous among the demons.
"What are you doing? Why did you come here through such a cold street? "The commander asked the demons as he walked.
The Scholar Walker also noticed that these demons were wearing very little. Some of them were even trembling, but they were chatting as if nothing had happened.
"Why did we come here? We don't know … Yes, why? "
The commander's words caused a wave of confusion among the demons. They looked at each other, and only then did they realize … that they did not seem to know what they were doing here.
"What's that?" The commander noticed the scepter at this time. He quickly walked over and touched it without any warning.
Thump! The scepter made the same sound as before, and the whole exhibition hall echoed. All the demons in this place suddenly seemed to wake up and came back to their senses.
"It's so cold! Ah! Why am I here? Is this a museum? "
They all looked very surprised. The commander also looked at them with a look of surprise. It seemed that he did not know what to say.
"Found a target that can be announced …"
At this moment, suddenly, a voice came from the scepter. The commander suddenly turned around. The scepter did not change, but the voice continued to say, "End confirmed."
The language of the scepter was the same as that of the demons. It used … the ancient crocodile language, so the demons could understand it, but the content of the language was a little strange.
"You … What are you?" The commander said. "Are you talking to me?"
"You are from the melting zone," the scepter said. "It has been confirmed. Starting … to fulfill the agreement."
"Agreement?" The commander was stunned. "What is an agreement?"
"An agreement between the species." After this sentence, a body image popped up at the top of the scepter. Then, from the image, the appearance of … a demon appeared.
"That's … the mayor!" A few of the demons immediately cried out. They seemed to recognize the character in the picture.
"Then … what was it to say? Yes, that. " In the image … the mayor first looked left and right. Then, he picked up a stone slab and said according to the stone slab.
"No matter who it is, when you see this image, we are already very far away from this world," the mayor said. "If you want to ask why, it is because, at some point in time, we received an important guest."
"It said that it came from the distant void and was carrying out a mission. The mission was to find …" The mayor paused. "… Yes, their mission was to find travelers."
"Travelers, also known as travelers at the end of the void," the mayor said. "They wanted to find a group of creatures to go on a long journey. They wanted to board the newest … flying battleship that they created and travel in the void until they reached the farthest place."
"Of course, we did not believe it at first, but it showed us many magical things. Then, we believed it was possible," the mayor said. "So, we agreed."
"Yes … we agreed. If you want to ask why, of course, it was to pursue our dreams!" As the mayor spoke, he suddenly threw the stone slab to the side and shouted, "Yes, this has been my dream since I was young! To travel in the void! "
"Although we can fly out of the Void, it's impossible for us to travel long distances in the Void. There's no telling how long it would take for us to reach our destination. Furthermore, this world … is close to destruction. The continuous approach of the meltdown zone is pushing our civilization to the brink of collapse." The mayor said. "I do not want to stay here anymore, so I value this opportunity. You can scold me however you want! I will not regret it! "
"Also, I found that there were many who had the same idea as me!" The mayor said. "In fact, there were many who had the same idea. I had them join me and formed a group of travelers … I also told the … important guest from the distant void that we were ready."
"However, I did not announce this publicly," the mayor said. "Most of the people who joined my group were those I trusted."
"When we were ready to depart, the esteemed guest told us that there would be some problems. If they wanted to take us away, they would have to fulfill a very special … condition. That is to keep the city in a 'normal' state."
"A normal state means … this city cannot contact the cities outside, but the outside world will think that this city is still normal and will not … pay too much attention to it."
"At the time, I found it very strange. Because my group had taken away too many … important characters, I had to recruit new characters from other cities to replace them," the mayor said. "But it told us not to do that. It told us not to replace our original position with any outsiders."
"So … the next mayor that I had arranged did not come." The mayor's voice suddenly became gloomy. "Plus, we were in a hurry to leave, so we did not care too much …"
"That is why that happened," the mayor said. The mayor said, "When we were about to leave, the frozen weapons storage room in the distance was activated. All the weapons there attacked the city, turning the city into a world of ice and snow."
"We did not know that would happen. But the important guest told us … they wanted to completely seal off this city that we had 'vacated', leaving it in a … sealed state forever."
