"There's another person who knows as much as Ockham." Sandora looked me in the eye. "Abyss Schilling herself!"
I thought about it and asked her sincerely, "You mean we should talk to Abyss Schilling about life and see if we can move her?"
Sandora rolled her eyes at me twice before she snorted. "Don't joke around now. I'm serious. Based on my recent interactions with Abyss Schilling, I realized that we can talk to her. Ah Jun, you should remember Abyss Schilling's characteristics: she doesn't have any personal preferences, and she doesn't have a sense of enemy or ally to any faction. Her actions are completely based on logical needs and calculations. This also means that in her eyes, the barrier between her and the New Empire isn't an opposing faction. It's just a matter of 'whether or not there's a need to communicate at the moment'. This kind of barrier is much easier to solve than opposing factions, isn't it? At the very least, the chances of talking to her are no longer zero. Abyss Schilling should still retain all her memories. Based on her life form, she should know everything that happened during the Old Empire. You see, she even knows about the Void Cataclysm. She probably has more memories than anyone can imagine. "
"Indeed." I nodded in agreement. "The questions that we haven't been able to figure out until now might be answered by Abyss Schilling … But how do you think we should get in touch with her and get her to tell us all these things? She's not someone who's easy to talk to, and most importantly … the New Empire is still her enemy. Even if there's a temporary truce, she has no reason to communicate with the New Empire. "
"We can only slowly study this in the future." Sandora sighed and looked around at the antique equipment. "Let's first transport this ark back and disassemble it from top to bottom. This is the second thing made by Abyss Schilling other than the ark. Check both of them. They'll definitely reveal some of Abyss Schilling's secrets."
Now it seemed that he could only take it one step at a time. After all, the initiative was not in his hands.
It would take quite a bit of effort to transport the ship back to the City of Shadows. It would be convenient to directly store it in my dimensional pocket, but doing so would create a huge hole with a diameter of a few kilometers. Coupled with the vacuum and negative pressure, the area would turn from a mountainous region into a basin. So, in order to transport the ship safely, I would have to call a few experts over. At this moment, I suddenly regretted throwing that female gangster back. That fellow's holy light seemed to be the most suitable for this kind of work …
We called the Special Agent from the Surface World, Boundless Love. After explaining the situation here, we left the spaceship. As soon as we got out of the spaceship's gate, we saw Ding Ling and Lin Feng waiting for us on the deck. The two of them didn't seem to notice that we had already come out. When I approached them, they were still squatting on the armor belt, studying it. As expected of human elites, they didn't forget to contribute to the cause of science even in their busy schedules. Lin Feng's words moved me. He picked at one of the ridges on the armor belt and said, "Do you think Brother Chen won't find out if we disassemble a piece of it?"
Ding Ling immediately reprimanded Lin Feng for his act of stealing from the Empire. "We don't have any tools. Why is this ship so sturdy … Should I borrow some tools from Lin Xue? But I'm afraid that she'll get suspicious. If she 'looks' at us, we'll be exposed. "
I was extremely touched as I listened on the side. As expected of someone who grew up with Lin Xue. How many good people could there be within a hundred meter radius of that troublesome lady?
"If you're not afraid of waking up the alarm system of the spaceship, you can disassemble it." I patted their shoulders. "But let me remind you that the central mainframe of the spaceship has woken up. Thirty meters behind you is the surveillance drone nest …"
Lin Feng and Ding Ling shivered. Then, they miraculously stood up while maintaining their normal expressions. Lin Feng greeted me as if nothing had happened. "Brother Chen, are you done?"
"I can tell that you and your sister are related by blood." I punched him in the chest. "We have to go back first. There will be people from Boundless Love who will come to clean up the mess and take back the spaceship. Oh yeah, gather everyone who has seen this spaceship. This time, we won't just need to erase the memory of the short period of time in the afternoon. We have to erase everything that they've found here. "
Hypnotizing the people involved to permanently erase their short-term memory was the most common method used by Boundless Love to clean up the mess. It was safe, harmless, efficient, and efficient. You could see it as an upgraded version of the pen that the men in black used. However, it was much easier for Sandora to operate.
We finally left the ancient crypt. When we arrived at the gravel beach again, it was almost evening. Ding Ling had arranged everything in advance. Everyone who had seen the spaceship was on standby outside. They did not know why their commander had gathered everyone together, so many of them looked curious. I took the opportunity to observe Ding Ling's "employees". I discovered that they were indeed a superpower group that didn't fall under the labor laws and relied on their own abilities to make a living. There were all kinds of people. I even saw two high school students carrying backpacks. Did they really wear school uniforms to save the world in real life?
"These two are the seeds that have just been discovered." Ding Ling noticed my gaze and explained, "One of them has a special memory ability, and the other can observe things like electromagnetic waves with the naked eye. They're currently being nurtured. Actually, they're already very late. Lin Xue and I started taking missions in middle school. "
I thought about my life before high school. I realized that the most spectacular thing I did was stealing fruits from an orchard. I raced with Fatty and the dog guarding the orchard. I even beat Fatty, and neither of us could beat the dog …
Thinking back to my mediocre student days, I could only let out a long sigh.
"Is everyone here?" Sandora looked at the small group of people in front of her and turned to confirm with Lin Feng. Lin Feng was about to nod, but he suddenly remembered something. He turned around and ran to the two high school students. He grabbed their hands and asked with concern, "The two of you are about to take the college entrance exam, right?"
The two high school students nodded in confusion, "Uh, what's wrong?"
"Are you studying well?"
The two high school students nodded again, "Yeah, it's alright."
Lin Feng returned with satisfaction and nodded at Sandora, "Yeah, everyone's here."
I was speechless, "… Damn, you little brat …"
Before I could finish my sentence, Sandora made her move without hesitation. She snapped her fingers and the small group of people in front of her looked confused. It only happened in an instant. When everyone returned to normal, Lin Feng smiled and went to check the effect. He grabbed the hands of the two high school students again, "The two of you are about to take the college entrance exam …"
I was stunned and turned to look at Ding Ling, "Why hasn't he been beaten to death yet?"
"Don't mind him. He's just taking revenge on society because of his psychological trauma." Ding Ling shrugged indifferently, "Back then, something big happened during his college entrance exam, and he was delayed quite a bit. He was just one point away …"
I immediately sympathized, "Just one point away from Peking University or Tsinghua University?"
"One point away from passing a subject." Ding Ling waved her hand, "He and his sister are two extremes. Xiao Xue has been a top student since she was young, and he only got full marks in sports and duty."
Then what the hell is he taking revenge on society for! This loser has already reached the realm of congenital maldevelopment and can't be saved!
"Actually, it doesn't really matter to him," Ding Ling said as she glanced at the two high school students. Her tone carried a hint of emotion. "Once you join this organization, you're basically cut off from a normal life. They'll have special schools, special jobs, and special identities. Everything that looks like a normal person's life is actually designed to deceive the public. If you're a core member, you'll even live a secluded life with the organization as your home. It has to be like this. Otherwise, what would you do if you suddenly hear that there are aliens in Siberia? Raise your hand and tell the teacher that you are going to save the world? "
I could understand Ding Ling's example, and I could even more understand what kind of life "special people" like them had to live. However, I still wasn't used to her using aliens as an example … The earthlings around me were already a rare breed, alright?
"Speaking of which, your life is even more bizarre than ours. Why am I telling you this?" Ding Ling suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but laugh at herself, "I see Lin Xue running to your place every day, yelling 'important things, important things'. Every day when she comes back, she has a serious expression as if she just saved the world. Your life must be much more exciting than ours, right?"
I thought about it, "In theory, she's just bluffing. It's not like we fight every day. Most of the time, she just comes to my house to eat and snatch the TV from the kids at home."
Ding Ling: "…"
I summoned my 700 billion horse and waved at Ding Ling, who was still speechless, "Do you need me to bring you guys back? This is Sichuan … "
"If you didn't mention it, I would've forgotten!" Ding Ling suddenly came to her senses. She looked up at the sky and suddenly revealed an anxious expression, "Let's go, let's go. I almost forgot about the godlike speed of your car. I was prepared to spend the night in another city, but it looks like I can still make it home to watch TV. Oh right, I also have to bring XO back. My stupid dog is still at your place. "
When I heard this, I immediately thought of the fox girl at home who had been a little crazy recently. I immediately broke out in a cold sweat, "Then let's hurry. If we wait any longer, the fox might have already blessed your dog!"
Let's not waste any more time. The speed of 700 billion was self-explanatory. In a small area like the Earth, the speed was basically no slower than teleportation. We rushed home at almost sub-light speed. When the car stopped in the courtyard, it felt like we had arrived in the blink of an eye. I led the group of people out of the car and saw that everything was normal at home. Little Crow was leading a large group of Schizosomes as they crawled on the lawn in search of grass seeds. Little Bubble was playing with water by the fountain. Based on the condition of her clothes, I guessed that she had just finished swimming. That was why Anveena, who was not far away, was rushing over with a towel in her hands. Shallow Shallow was the first to rush out of the house. The first thing she did was to rush over in a parabola and clung to me like an octopus. Her face was full of joy, "Ah Jun, Ah Jun! Did you bring me a present? "
I plucked the energetic girl who was not much more mature than a naughty child off my body, "I didn't go out to play. Why would I bring you a present? We were going to dig up a grave."
"Oh, right," Shallow Shallow suddenly remembered the purpose of our trip and instantly became happy, "What did you dig up?"
"Anyway, it was quite a lot of information." I pinched Shallow Shallow's nose lovingly, "Where's Ding Ling's dog?"
"It's learning how to live from a fox in the house," Shallow Shallow replied happily.
Ding Ling and I quickly ran into the living room. We immediately saw the two canines, Fox and XO, sitting on the carpet in the middle of the living room. Both of them (?) were staring at each other as though they were competing in endurance. However, the unlucky dog's ears were drooping and its fur seemed to have lost its luster. It looked as though it was dispirited and its worldview had collapsed. On the other hand, Lady Fox Celestial Fox looked excited. Not only were her ears perked up, her big tail was swaying rhythmically behind her butt. I knew that it was a sign that she was in a good mood.
"Very good. Now that you understand the meaning of 'quiet'," Lady Fox Celestial Fox patted XO's head approvingly, "Next, I will teach you a foreign language. Don't ask how it has anything to do with cultivation. Just learn it accordingly. Look at my mouth: Meow! "
I went forward and grabbed Fox Celestial Fox's ear, "Don't you have any dignity as a Fox Celestial Fox?"
At this moment, Lord Fox Immortal displayed a reaction speed that was commensurate with her thousand years of cultivation. She turned her face and bit my arm, but I couldn't shake her off. Ding Ling hurriedly ran over to her pet dog. XO was already a bit absent-minded at this time. When it saw its owner appear, it actually didn't react for a while. Only when Ding Ling carried it in her arms did it finally realize and let out a howl. That howl was truly heart-wrenching and tear-inducing. In my heart, there were three words that continuously played: Sinner...
After Ding Ling and Lin Feng left with the almost schizophrenic dog, I lowered my head and looked at the fox-eared girl who was still hanging on my arm. "When are you going to stop?"
While biting my arm, the immortal fox rolled her eyes and looked up. If the arm she was biting wasn't mine, I would have been mesmerized by her cuteness. Seeing that the fox didn't seem to have any intention of letting go, I took out some beef jerky from my dimensional pocket. This trick worked as usual. The silly fox turned into a yellow light and disappeared in front of me along with the jerky.
"I think... we should think of a way to give her something to do." At this moment, Anveena appeared out of nowhere. She was holding Little Bubble, whose hair was still wet. "Fox Celestial Fox is just bored. She wasn't this neurotic before. Wasn't she very calm at first?"
"No matter who it is, if they don't do anything for three years except eat, sleep, and bask in the sun, they will become like this." I nodded in agreement. "But doesn't she usually have something to do? Let her help you take care of the kids. Xiaoxue said that Fox Celestial Fox will be our number one nanny in the future. She's even more professional than Ji Er Jiamei. "
Anveena shrugged. "She's more naughty than the kids."
As soon as the spirit maid finished speaking, Fox Celestial Fox ran down the stairs. She stuffed a roll of golden fur into my hand. "Master, this is a new scarf. You're not allowed to use it to wipe your shoes."
After saying that, Fox Celestial Fox turned into a yellow light and disappeared before our eyes. I looked down at the fox fur scarf in my hand and was a little dazed. It took me a while to remember that it was the day that her tail would shed its fur. Fox Celestial Fox had a habit. Every time she shed her fur, she would carefully collect the shed fur and knit it into a scarf or a pair of gloves (depending on the weather). In the end, all these things would end up in my hands. From this point, it seemed that the simple-minded Fox Celestial Fox knew who was close to whom. Usually, I was the one who took care of her the most at home.
"Forget it. Let her continue to be simple-minded." I put away the scarf and put on a smile. "It's not easy to live such a happy life."
"She was bribed with just a scarf?" Sandora's voice suddenly came. I turned and saw her standing next to me with a faint smile. "Come here. I have something to show you."
I curiously followed Sandora to the balcony on the second floor. I didn't know what it was that made the Queen act so mysteriously. When we reached the balcony, Sandora showed me her claws without saying a word … I mean, she showed me her Abyss form.
Dark and restless Abyss Flames burned on her upper body. Every slight tremble of her huge, ferocious claws would leave tiny cracks in the air. Sandora raised her mutated arm and gently waved it twice in the air. When she spoke, her voice was trembling as though it was resonating with me. "Speaking of which, these claws are only useful for fighting. They're really inconvenient for normal situations. They're too long to even scratch an itch. I can't clench my fist because it's not the right size."
I said, "Speaking of which, you didn't call me here just to ask me to cut your nails, right? Let me say this first. My ability is indeed effective against the Abyss, but your claws don't necessarily need to be cut … "
Sandora rolled her eyes at me. "Do I look like such a boring person to you? I've recently discovered something. I don't know if you've noticed it, but your subtle 'death' effect against the Abyss doesn't seem to have any effect on me."
My absent-minded mind immediately returned to normal. "What do you mean?"
"Right now, there are a lot of Abyss infected in the Empire that have been cleansed by you. Other than the Abyss Independent Group, we also have Visca and Icetis at home." Sandora looked me in the eye. "Every person that you cleansed will have a very obvious change. The most obvious change is that the Abyss reaction on their bodies will be significantly weakened. I've been analyzing all the cases recently. No matter if it's active or passive, as long as the infected have undergone reverse transformation, the Abyss reaction on their bodies will be weakened by at least a few times — except for me."
Sandora enunciated each word clearly. "It's been five years. The strength of the Abyss on my body is exactly the same as when we first met!"
