Under the leadership of the demon hunter, dozens of autonomous robots quickly flew into the darkness of Coldpath, heading toward the large and small buildings floating around the Netherrealm Clock Tower. The MDT stayed by Hao Ren's side, acting as the temporary thinking core of the dozens of autonomous robots, acting as the central command. While the high-tech equipment was busy, Hao Ren could not do anything. He and White Flame came to the edge of the platform and looked at the mysterious starlight in the distant dark border.
He had left Coldpath in a hurry the last time and did not have time to learn more about the place. This time, he had a lot of questions that he wanted to clarify. The first question was what was going on with the starlight at the edge of the space.
"Those are the lights that can never be reached," White Flame said, pointing to the bright galaxy in the background of the floating temple group. "We have tried to explore every corner of this space a long time ago, but only its visual boundary cannot be reached by human beings. Coldpath is closed. These floating temples form a closed area. You can go in any direction, and after a certain distance, you will find yourself coming back from the other end of the space. The starlight is always hanging equidistant, and it is impossible to reach. We call them 'Visions of Eternity'. "
"Oh, a closed space … This is easy to understand," Hao Ren nodded. "But the dislocation of the visual boundary and the spatial boundary is a bit interesting."
Lily stood behind Hao Ren, holding a tablet and writing an essay. At this time, she muttered, "Mr. Landlord, do you think these stars are the starry sky that can be seen from the Star of Creation?"
Hao Ren thought it made sense. He immediately wanted to ask the MDT to take a picture and send it to Muru. But before he could do anything, White Flame shook her head. "I don't know where you are talking about the Star of Creation, but what Lily said is definitely wrong. These stars are changing. "
"Changed?" Hao Ren was stunned.
"We used to study these 'unreachable stars' at the edge of Coldpath. At that time, we thought that these constellations might have some magical symbolic meaning, so we tracked and recorded them for a long time. But later, we found that they would go haywire every few hundred years, and sometimes 80% of the stars would be replaced. These changes had nothing to do with anything that happened inside Coldpath, so we gave up on this research. These stars are just illusions. "
White Flame's tone was casual, but Hao Ren was instinctively concerned about it. He frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "Do you still keep the constellation observation records?"
"Observation records? They are all in the Netherrealm Clock Tower. I went there last time, and they are still there. "White Flame looked at Hao Ren strangely." But what do you need them for? The Demon Hunter scholars have confirmed that there is no pattern to it. "
Hao Ren smiled slightly. "You may not find any use for them, but I might find some clues in another universe."
White Flame nodded happily. "Well, I don't mind giving you the information. No one will read it anyway."
At this time, the voice of the MDT suddenly interrupted the conversation between Hao Ren and White Flame. "Buddy! Come and have a look at this! "
Hao Ren hurried over to check the situation. The MDT turned on the holographic projection and showed them the information it had just sorted out. In this huge holographic projection, Hao Ren saw that the temples around the Netherrealm Clock Tower were vividly outlined. These were the images that the autonomous robots had just scanned. Almost every floating temple had at least one lavender spatial rift. As White Flame said, there were a lot of these rifts.
The lavender spatial rifts attached to the temple were like a group of twinkling stars on the holographic image.
"What's wrong with these rifts?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
"I'll put them together for you to see," the MDT said as it adjusted the holographic projection. As the MDT spoke, it adjusted the holographic projection. It hid the temple buildings, leaving only a few dozen purple strips on the image. Then it zoomed in on these cracks and spliced them all together. Then, a wonderful scene appeared.
All these rifts gradually pieced together into a standard sphere!
Of course, this sphere was not complete. The rifts could only piece together a part of its spherical surface. There were many empty places, but the rifts that could be pieced together were all seamless. This was enough to show the pattern between them: these rifts floating around the Netherrealm Clock Tower did not exist in isolation. They were part of a large system!
White Flame was dumbfounded. "This is …"
"It should be a combined encrypted space security device," the MDT quickly found the closest answer in its database. "Each of these 'rifts' is meaningless, and there is no possibility of decoding them. But when they are combined, they can form a space warehouse. Only when they are combined can they have normal access functions."
The operating principle of this thing was obviously beyond normal logic. Hao Ren had to rearrange a bunch of technical terms in his mind for a long time before he understood what the MDT meant. "That is to say, if we have a safe, when I put things in the safe and close the door, the safe will explode into pieces, and the things inside will disappear. When I put the pieces back into the safe, I can open the door and take out the things inside intact. Is this what it means?"
The MDT shook its body. "Almost the same thing."
"Isn't this like carving a boat to find a sword?" Vivian suddenly could not keep up with the rhythm. She was very strong in other things, but she was not as good as White Flame in the field of space.
"Of course it's different. The encrypted space is a higher dimension," the MDT immediately explained. "It's just that its projection in the three-dimensional space is broken, but the access part is still intact in the higher dimension. It's just that we can't interfere with it in the three-dimensional world. This is a very sophisticated security technology. It is not high-end in the Xi Ling Celestials, but in the mortal world, it is basically a foolproof means. "
Hao Ren felt his breath quicken. "I'm afraid this is something deliberately left by the goddess of creation. It's hidden right under our noses! MDT, how do we open this' warehouse '? Do we have to use some kind of traction device to forcibly pull these rifts together? "
"… Your way of thinking is quite similar to the style of the husky next to you," the MDT said.
Hao Ren was speechless.
"Woof your head!" Lily said.
"Please correct your attitude, I'm ashamed," the MDT retorted seriously to Lily. Then it outlined a bunch of lines on the holographic projection. It connected the lavender strips floating in the space, and finally all the lines converged at a point, which was the common center of all the rifts: the center of the sphere. "This kind of security warehouse must have an external control center. Otherwise, once this thing disintegrates according to the program, it will be lost forever in the real world. Based on the distribution of the rifts, I think the control center is in the center of the sphere. "
Hao Ren turned to look at White Flame. "What's in the center of these lines?"
"Don't ask her. See for yourself." The MDT showed the previously hidden temple building on the holographic projection, and the intersection point of those lines was at the top of the Netherrealm Clock Tower. "This tower, it still has secrets to explore."
Hao Ren stared at the holographic model of the Netherrealm Clock Tower. The top of the tower was a broken open area, where the spire was supposed to be. But it looked like it had been blown away during the deicidal war, leaving only a crooked platform and a large number of floating debris. It looked like the tip of a pencil had been shredded by one-third.
The floating debris did not fly too far away, so the Netherrealm Clock Tower still maintained the shape of a spire.
"Have you been to the top of the tower before?" He asked White Flame casually. "What's up there?"
"Err … the top of the Netherrealm Clock Tower is closed, and this is the highest we have ever reached," White Flame said, pointing to a section of the holographic model near the top of the tower. "This is where the ceremonial hall was located. The space-time structure on the top of the tower is very unstable, and there is nothing but a bunch of broken boulders. So we blocked the corridors inside the tower many years ago. Of course, we can fly directly from the outside as long as we are careful. "
Hao Ren waved his hand. "What are we waiting for? Let's go up and see what's going on."
