The boy looked to be in his early twenties. He had fluffy hair and wore an earring on his right ear. He looked a little rebellious, but at this moment, it was completely replaced by panic. He was looking around in fear.
Grimm and Millie comforted the boy as they brought him to the hall of the research institute.
However, when the boy saw the television screen in the laboratory hall, he was like a mouse that had seen a cat. He shuddered violently and struggled with all his might, causing Grimm and Millie to lean against the wall and barely prevent themselves from falling.
"What are you doing?!"
Two big black security guards ran over and pointed their batons at the young man. At the same time, they asked Grimm, "Director Grimm, should we chase him out? If such a lunatic is allowed to come and go as he pleases, it'll be difficult to guarantee the safety of the other people in the building."
"Oh, no, no. He's just scared. He'll be fine in a while. Trust me."
Grimm helped the young man up again. Aware of his situation, the young man tried to control himself. He managed to control his emotions to a certain extent and could not stop panting. The two black security guards looked at each other and looked at the young man with warning. They pointed their batons at him and left slowly.
"Sob sob sob sob, Director Grimm. The God of Media has appeared. Trust me, it's a real God! He warned me to stay away from the 18th. I don't know what he means at all. Tomorrow is the 18th of October. Is he warning me that I'm going to die? Sob sob sob, I've never thought that there's really a God in this world. I've never believed in any God since I was young. Why would he find me? I'm so scared. What should I do? Sob sob sob sob … "
The young man's words were somewhat incoherent. The dark circles under his eyes due to staying up late all year round showed extreme fatigue and fear.
"The 18th?"
Grimm frowned and exchanged glances with Millie, who had wrinkles all over her face. They could see the puzzlement in each other's eyes.
"Don't be afraid. First, tell me how you came into contact with the God of Media. What method did he use to warn you? Have you done anything special recently? As far as we know, it is difficult for God to directly interfere with human life. "
As he spoke, Grimm took out his mobile terminal and began to search for information about the events that took place on September 18th. However, all he found were insignificant clues. For example, the romantic poet Vingne passed away on September 18th, the World Environment Protection Day was on October 8th, and the number of the two-colored ball on September 18th. There was nothing useful.
"I'm a network hacker, and I'm quite famous in the industry. Everyone calls me Sniffer Dog, but I haven't done much. I just make some money by pirating things. Just a few days ago, I accidentally found a network black hole. In layman's terms, it's a data leakage point. Generally speaking, such a black hole only lasts for a few seconds at most. However, for some reason, this network black hole doesn't seem to show any signs of disappearing. Out of curiosity, I tried to crack the source code of this network black hole. I found that this source code is not a binary data link, but a cluster of extremely complex chaotic equations. "
Swallowing his saliva, the young man continued, "Then, the more I understood it, the more terrified I became of this source code. That feeling was as if I had been pulled into another world, a world of code and data. I even felt that this was not a secret that I had randomly discovered, but it was waiting for me, giving me this opportunity! Sure enough, today, all the equipment that I can come into contact with, all the information is telling me to stay away from the 18th in binary code. I … I really don't know what to do! "
"A reminder from the God of Media? How can you be sure that this is the God of Media? "
Millie asked. She thought of something and asked again, "By the way, how did you find this place?"
"It's Jenny, a female friend of mine. She works here and told me a lot about you …"
Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.
The familiar sound of high heels sounded. Everyone looked over and saw that it was Grimm's assistant, the young woman in a short black skirt, with a mysterious smile, walking over step by step. The young man next to Grimm was stunned, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Jenny!?"
Suddenly, the young man seemed to have discovered something. He looked at the number 18 on Jenny's chest, and his expression froze. Looking at Jenny's still mysterious and strange smile, he only felt an indescribable chill from the bottom of his heart. Thinking of the little contact in the past, he only felt that he had fallen into an incomparable abyss, and fear completely enveloped him.
Grimm also noticed the abnormality. He stood in front of the young man and said calmly, "Who are you?"
"Hmph."
The arrogant look in Jenny's eyes and the mysterious smile on her face became even more shocking. The edges of her body also became blurred and distorted like steam. It was very unreal.
"Instead of asking who I am, why don't you tell me who you are first? Respected Dean Grimm, everything about you fascinates me. During the time we've been in contact, I've conducted a total of 3,652 induction simulations on you. Without exception, all the battles between you and me ended in my complete defeat. "
As she spoke, the woman's body distorted and turned into strange code-like existences that spread in all directions. Only the illusion of a head was left in the air, talking to a few people.
Compared to Grimm and Millie's calmness, the young man named Jason almost fainted from fear. Looking at such an absurd and terrifying scene, his face was extremely pale, and he looked like he might lose control of his bowels at any time.
"You're not the God of Time, nor the Heavenly Starry Sky God, nor any modern god. Are you a tribal god that survived from ancient times? Or are you an unknown existence in the distant river of time and space outside the network? "
After studying the history of the intercontinental continent for so many years, as the birthplace of the Everlasting Divine Alliance, this world contained other rules. The belief in the gods was converted into the blessing of immortality, and there were additional restrictions on the gods from appearing. In general, only the most powerful gods could reveal their true bodies and interfere with the normal creatures of the people.
The so-called most powerful gods were existences at the level of the God of Time and the Heavenly Starry Sky God!
The gods were not afraid of death, but they were afraid of being forgotten.
The ancient god system led by the God of Time and the Heavenly Starry Sky God destroyed the tribal ancient gods and promoted the so-called progress of human civilization. During that period, people preferred to go to church gatherings and worship the new gods blessed by various hymns. Gradually, they forgot the powerful ancient gods that the tribes once worshiped.
However!
In recent years, with the emergence of all kinds of mechanical products and electronic devices, new modern gods also appeared. People became more and more addicted to these new products. The time spent on video games and racing for fun had far exceeded the time spent on worship. No, perhaps the young people had long forgotten about the gods and left their faith. Churches were gradually replaced by business gathering centers. Social dating apps replaced the matchmaking of the God of Love. The passion of simulation games extinguished the courage of war. For the young people, the media and machinery had even made them forget about time and space!
The war between the modern gods and the ancient gods was about to begin!
"No matter who I am, since you already know that you have no chance of winning against me, then don't make such an attitude. I'm just a passerby."
Grimm said calmly. Millie secretly asked, "Even if we are here, activating the ability of a Level Four creature is the limit. The special rules of this world are suppressing us. Under that incomparably majestic power, if we forcibly activate a higher level of power, it will be enough to push us out of this world."
"No, no, no, no, no, please don't misunderstand. I'm not making such an attitude to you. The era is on my side. If I continue to develop, anything that is beneficial to me will flourish. Therefore, the ancient gods can no longer wait. Am I right, God of Time?"
Zzz …
The television that was originally turned off suddenly turned on. On the television screen, a white-bearded old man with round glasses appeared. He was dressed like Santa Claus, but behind him was a huge clock, ticking, ticking. He looked over from the screen.
"It took me three hundred years to find a way to invade your domain. I have to say, this is really a magical domain space. Haha."
The old man laughed and looked at Jenny's head floating in the air. However, he completely ignored Grimm and Millie beside him. He said impatiently, "It's time to remind the people of this world to respect the ancient gods. Then … let the war begin!"
