"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 Beings here before. 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 extra signal here.
No matter what, the Scholar had to take a look.
The Scholar was alone now. The demon and the commander said that they wanted to gather the local residents, so they did not act together with the Scholar. Although the commander was still suspicious of the Scholar, it could not trap the Scholar, 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 spacious hall and the collapsed tables and chairs seemed to indicate that there had been a battle here. Perhaps it was because of the cold and hunger, the demons here had fought and robbed each other.
The Scholar quickly walked to the entrance of an exhibition room with the history written on it. She lowered her body and walked in. The Scholar saw many intact stone slabs.
These stone slabs were neatly arranged in the exhibition room. 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. It was that thing.
The signal was only twenty meters away from the Scholar, so the Scholar could see that there was something different between the stone slabs in the distance.
It looked like a scepter, nearly two meters tall, with a glowing sphere at the top. It looked quite out of place between the stone slabs. The signal came from this scepter.
The Scholar activated stealth mode 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. After looking at it carefully, 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!
The scepter made a sound when the Scholar touched it. The Scholar felt that she had heard this sound before.
That's right, it's the sound it made when it kicked those metal trees outside the city. Those trees are actually hollow metal, so it's normal to make such a sound. But why does this scepter make such a sound when it's poked?
This time, the Scholar did not touch it. However, it was as if it was a piece of metal that had been continuously struck. It continued to emit a 'dong dong dong' sound.
It seemed that this was a tool with some 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 this?"
Just as the Scholar was about to go up and continue the inspection, it suddenly heard footsteps.
The Scholar turned around and saw a demon suddenly 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 as if it was normal.
However, the Scholar noticed that there was an abnormal demon among them. It was the commander. Its armor was very conspicuous among the demons.
"What are you doing here? Why did you cross the cold street to come here?" The commander asked the demons as he walked.
The Scholar also noticed that the demons were wearing very little. Some of them were constantly shivering, but they were chatting as if nothing had happened.
"We don't know why we are here. Yes, why?"
The commander's words caused a wave of confusion among the demons. They looked at each other and realized that they did not know what they were doing here.
"What's that?" The commander noticed the scepter. He quickly walked over and touched the scepter without any warning.
Dong! The scepter made the same sound as before, and the sound echoed in the exhibition hall. All the demons in the hall suddenly woke up and returned to their senses.
"It's so cold. Why am I here? Is this a museum?"
They were all very surprised. The commander also looked at them in surprise. It seemed that he did not know what to say.
"Found a target that can be notified."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the scepter. The commander turned around abruptly. The scepter was still the same, but the voice continued, "End confirmed."
The scepter's language was the same as the demons'. It used the Ancient Dust Crocodile language, so the demons could understand it. However, the content of the language was a little strange.
"What are you?" The commander said, "Are you talking to me?"
"You are from the Meltdown Zone," the scepter said, "Confirmed. Starting to fulfill the agreement."
"Agreement?" The commander was stunned, "What is an agreement?"
"An agreement between the species." After the scepter finished speaking, an image popped up at the top of the scepter. Then, the image showed the appearance of a demon.
"That's the mayor!" Some of the demons here immediately shouted. They seemed to know the character in the image.
"So what do you want to say? Yes, this." The mayor in the image looked left and right. Then, he picked up a slate and said according to the slate.
"No matter who you are, when you see this image, we are already very far away from this world," the mayor said. The mayor said, "If you want to know why, it's because we once 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 and said, "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 travel for a long time. 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. However, it showed us many miraculous things. Only then did we believe that it was possible," the mayor said, "So, we agreed."
"That's right, we promised them. If you want to know why, it's obviously to pursue our dreams." The mayor suddenly threw the slate aside and shouted, "That's right, this has been my dream since I was young, to travel through the void!"
"Although we can already fly out of the void, it's impossible to travel long distances in the void. We don't know how long it'll take to reach our destination. Furthermore, this world is already close to destruction. The continuous approach of the melting zone has pushed our civilization to the brink of collapse," the mayor said. "I don't want to stay here any longer, so I value this opportunity. You can scold me all you want, I won't regret it."
"Furthermore, I also discovered that there were many who had the same idea as me," the mayor said. "In fact, there were many who had the same idea as me. 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 leave, the important 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, they would have to leave this city in a normal state.
"A normal state means that this city would not be able to contact other cities, but the outside world would think that this city was still normal and would not pay too much attention to it.
"At the time, I felt that it was very strange. Because my group had taken away too many important characters, I had to recruit new characters from other cities to replace them. But it told us not to do so, to not replace our original position with any outsiders "the mayor said.
"That's why the next mayor that I had arranged didn't come." The mayor's voice suddenly became gloomy. "Furthermore, we were in a hurry to leave, so we didn't care too much."
"That's why that incident happened." The mayor said. "When we were about to leave, the frozen weapons storage room in the distance was activated. The weapons there all attacked this city, turning it into a world of ice and snow."
"We didn't know that would happen, but the important guest told us that they were going to completely seal off this city that we had left empty, leaving it in a state of eternal lockdown."
"Until someone came to undo this lockdown," the mayor said. "That's why I recorded this video for the person who undid the lockdown."
