Two days later, Huai Shi heard the sound of thunder again.
This time, after two days, the distant roar was getting closer and closer, and it was already lingering in his ears. But when Huai Shi looked up, he couldn't see the clouds.
Strictly speaking, he saw clouds.
But he felt that something was wrong.
The layer of dark clouds seemed to be a layer of Photoshop software that had been adjusted to transparency. It flashed in the sky and then disappeared quickly.
It was a reflection from the mirage.
These days, as Huai Shi went deeper and deeper, such strange phenomena became more and more frequent. In addition to illusions, there were also phenomena that interfered with reality.
During the day yesterday, Huai Shi was awakened from his dream by the sound of an engine.
When he opened his eyes and climbed out of the tent, he saw a highway in front of him. It extended from the end of the hot desert to the looming city in the distance.
One car after another sped away.
But soon, as if sensing Huai Shi's spying, the highway quickly disappeared again. Along with the city in the distance, only a broken off-road vehicle was left on an abandoned broken road.
It had been mostly buried by sand.
And before Huai Shi went to sleep, it was completely empty. There was nothing there.
"What the hell is this?"
Huai Shi scratched his head and looked at the thunder cloud illusion that flashed and disappeared in the sky again. He couldn't understand what was going on.
This was clearly the Discovery Realm.
The depth was abnormally stable.
There weren't any signs or signs of Hell Transformation, but why were there so many messy things happening?
"Traces of the past? It's hard to say. After all, anything can happen here … "
The Crow descended from the sky and stepped on Huai Shi's shoulder, "You should be able to see it after you climb over the sand dune in front."
Huai Shi raised his head blankly and stared at the sand dune that seemed to be towering next to him. He shook his head, put down his backpack, tied it with a rope, and began to climb up with difficulty.
If there was a stable foothold, climbing like this wouldn't take any effort at all, right?
However, if one wanted to walk steadily on the sand dunes and avoid the dangerous quicksand and other things buried below, one could only use the Yu Steps technique to forcefully distribute one's weight on every grain of sand.
It wasn't difficult, but it was very troublesome.
Every step took a lot of effort.
When Huai Shi climbed up the sand dune, he couldn't help but gasp a few times, dumbfounded.
He even forgot to pull up the backpack from below.
In front of him, where the illusion of the city had been a few days ago, he finally saw the ruins that had been left behind.
It was a scene of devastation and destruction, ravaged by war. One could still vaguely distinguish the broken tanks and bombers, as well as the flags of Egypt and America, and even the outlines of the once high-rise buildings.
These were not buried by the yellow sand, because …
Huai Shi rubbed his eyes and finally confirmed that what he saw was not an illusion.
Everything before his eyes … was suspended in midair.
The entire city seemed to have been violently lifted up, thrown to the ground, and then solidified at the moment of collapse.
The remaining wounds of the past were sealed in this amber-like way.
Now, the once huge ruins were suspended high, rolling slowly in the night wind. As if immersed in the sea, it rose and fell weightlessly.
Gravity was abnormal here.
Huai Shi turned around and pulled out an empty can from her backpack. Then, she poured some sand into it and tossed it forward with all her might.
After flying out for more than a hundred meters, the flying can came to an abrupt stop.
It hovered in the air.
Even the sand sprinkled from the mouth of the can maintained the spreading shape and stopped.
Even the time was abnormal.
Huai Shi swallowed.
"What the hell is this?"
"It's a bug, haven't you seen it before?" The crow combed its feathers calmly and said, "This is Australia's biggest problem. It's not that it's dry, it's not that it's barren, it's a problem that even the astronomical society can't solve … No, it should be said that those guys did it on purpose."
Huai Shi couldn't believe it, "Is Zarathustra's secret instrument out of control?"
"No, in fact, the main mission of the Astronomy Association is to ensure the operation of the three major blockades. Even if it consumes more than 30% of the world's material resources every year, it has to maintain the normal operation of the three major blockades."
Crow replied, "But in Australia, the situation has changed … This entire continent is Zarathustra's buffer zone, do you understand?
As Zarathustra, who cut off all the secret instruments and started a new era, it itself is an existence formed by the framework of hundreds of creators. It has a huge power to replace the gods.
In it, it imitates the process of creation and constructs five layers of domains. In addition to the Realm of Eternity in the core that preserves the axis of the world, there are also four layers named Activity, Formation, Creation, and Outflow according to the definition in alchemy.
If it is further subdivided, there are seven stages, thirty-six days, ninety-one regions, and thousands of modules, each with its own function and unique meaning. The laws and data that are derived from it at every moment are even more uncountable …
Such a huge system and such a complex existence, it is absolutely impossible for its interior to be absolutely flawless. There are bound to be some parts that are difficult to deal with.
Those loopholes, bugs, and endless loops, once accumulated too much, will cause Zarathustra's secret instrument to overflow, and then lead to a fatal gap … just like a computer. "
Crow suddenly asked, "If the C plate is full, what do we do?"
"Heavy armor?" Huai Shi answered subconsciously, and immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
"That's right, heavy armor."
Crow calmly replied, "Isolate the Realm, create a partition to preserve important information, and then completely sink the Realm into the abyss … and then build a new Realm on top of it.
Most people may not even have any experience, but in the blink of an eye, an old hen will turn into a duck, and the world will be brand new … This is the plan to destroy the world that has been circulating inside the Astronomy Association, Huai Shi.
Every few hundred years, there will always be one or two like this, heh. "
She chuckled softly and didn't say anything else.
"Then … Australia?"
"Australia is a buffer zone prepared in advance to avoid frequent reloading of the secret instrument.
Originally, after being beaten into a no man's land by Egypt and America, they probably felt that there was no one left anyway, so they might as well make use of the trash … Of course, in addition, they also serve the fate of being used as consumables when necessary, but these have nothing to do with you.
After all, this is the Realm, no matter how bad it is, there won't be any trouble. " After a short pause, Crow casually threw out a huge bomb, "After all, in order to ensure the stability of the buffer zone, the Continuation Court has moved their headquarters here, so there will definitely be no trouble."
"What the hell?!"
Huai Shi was so shocked that he almost jumped up.
"The Continuation Court? Headquarters? Here? "
The Continuation Court's headquarters, which was rumored to be extremely confidential, was actually here?
Huai Shi felt that if this spread out, his perverted mother fans would be shocked for a whole year.
"This isn't something to make a fuss about, is it?" Crow glanced at him in confusion, "We just passed by their door two days ago … Didn't you pee on a cactus at that time?"
Huai Shi's face instantly turned pale, "Why didn't you tell me!"
"There's no point in telling you."
Crow shook his head, "This is just a projection. The physical coordinates of their headquarters exist here, but it doesn't mean that this is the exit.
The entire Continuation Court is hidden using aerial technology. They exist in the Realm, the border, and the Abyss at the same time, with roads in all directions.
If they don't want you to see them, even if you are at the door, you won't be able to see them.
Relax, dummy. Just treat it as taking a stroll in front of a unit. So what if you are seen? Will there be a sniper aiming at your head? "
Huai Shi's face twitched.
He finally understood why he had felt a chill on his back from time to time two days ago.
That was the Continuation Court!
The Continuation Court, which kept and sealed countless secret mechanisms. Once the door was opened, the distortion of the entire Realm would increase by 60%!
Among the three major institutions of the Astronomical Association, the Utopia, the Directorate of Command, and the Continuation Court each had their own division of labor.
If one were to generalize from the impact, then the Utopia's duty was to pursue more correction values, while the Directorate of Command was responsible for following closely behind, maintaining the situation, and ensuring that the results were not lost. Finally, the Continuation Court was responsible for reducing the distortion of the entire Realm and eliminating hidden dangers for the entire world.
Because of this, the Utopia was regarded as radical, the Directorate of Command was regarded as pedantic and conservative, and the Continuation Court hid themselves in mystery and had no sense of existence most of the time.
They rarely cooperated with the Directorate of Command and worked alone most of the time.
And after they appeared, the place where they were located was often barren.
If the situation was judged to be dangerous to a certain extent, the entire area would be completely packed up and taken away. Then, they would find a convenient place to burn it down and completely eliminate the Realm.
Huai Shi felt his legs tremble at the thought of swaggering past the entrance of such a dangerous department.
"Don't worry. Although it's called the entrance, it's actually dozens of depths away from the real location of the Continuation Court. The Continuation Court isn't that simple a place."
Crow waved her wings calmly. "Instead of worrying about those things, you might as well worry about what's in front of you."
"Huh?"
Huai Shi was at a loss.
Following her gaze, the young man looked up at the sky with dark clouds billowing in the distance. "Isn't that an illusion?"
"Although I once suspected that this was a problem caused by some abnormal mechanism, I just took a closer look … It seems that what you've been seeing all this time is just a mirage and an anomaly in the desert."
"So?" Huai Shi asked.
"Since it's a mirage, it proves that this is a kind of optical refraction phenomenon … I don't need to repeat the things in the physics book for you, right?"
Crow paused for a moment and said helplessly, "In other words, the thunderclouds are real and have been accumulating and growing. In the abnormal airflow and temperature in Australia, they merged into a super-large-scale natural disaster that's enough to water the entire desert."
"And then?" Huai Shi nodded.
"And then, it's now above your head." Crow raised her wings, looked at her feathers wet with thick water vapor, and nodded. "It should start in a while … So, what are you waiting for?"
"Run, silly boy!"
Crow screamed in his ear.
"The storm is coming!!!"
