On the third day after Miriya arrived at the City of Shadows, the supernatural incidents had all been dealt with, and the surface world had regained its peace. The dark forces of the planet, however, were still discussing the brief appearance of Boundless Love. Clearly, some bigwigs who had faced the dark side of the world for a long time did not believe that the terrifying superpower organization 'Boundless Love' would return to the backstage just like that. Conspiracy theories were an eternal topic of discussion among humans. Many people speculated that Boundless Love was planning to harm other forces in the dark.
They would never have guessed that the so-called 'Boundless Love' was just a boring game played by a certain energetic girl.
Now, we are analyzing Miriya's information. Not only is it the Information Terminal she brought, but her own ability is also something we are quite concerned about. This innocent girl wasn't scheming at all. Moreover, as she had identified the Xi Ling apostles as the 'Sage' who had disappeared from the world of Mobrador, she let down her guard against us after staying in the City of Shadows for three days. When the Xi Ling technicians in the research center suggested to scan her superpower, she agreed without hesitation.
First, let's talk about the Information Terminal known as the Sacred Plate. At first, we thought that it would be easy to find the world of Mobrador, but we were all disappointed when we found out that it did not even have an ID. The data stored in Miriya's Special Information Terminal was extremely chaotic. Most of it was vague information that the Shiring Apostles deemed useless. The rest were equipment parameters that seemed to be a list of facilities that the Information Terminal had logged into before, but they were all common stuff with no value for reference. There was not a single important spatial coordinate, and there was no way to find the frequency it used to connect to the other Information Terminals in Mobrador. Miriya had also confirmed this point. In Mobrador, the Holy Disks did not have the ability to communicate with each other at all. They were just a kind of "magic tool" that allowed mortals to better control the power of the blue light and use ancient superweapons. The latter was undoubtedly the armed forces of the Empire.
The researchers had also obtained some results regarding Milia's abilities. In the morning, Seves personally delivered a report to me regarding Milia's "physical examination." The densely packed numbers and technical jargon had wiped out most of the threads in my brain. I could only ask Sandora to help translate the report into something that ordinary people could understand. She was currently discussing this matter with me.
"Unstable spirit, benign mutations in DNA, stronger resilience than ordinary people, but relatively weak physique. It's not a biochemical transformation like the Atlanteans from head to toe, but more like a mutation that has accumulated over a long period of time." In the headquarters of the shadow base, Sandora pointed to the holographic screen in front of her and said, "I suspect that the people of the Mobrador World have been exposed to the Empire's heritage for a long period of time and have undergone this strange evolution due to radiation. Milia's spirit form is a typical carbon-based creature, quite similar to humans on Earth. However, she said that she has undergone training, and through this training, she can change the wavelength of her soul. Here, we've talked about this before. This is how she summoned the satellite cannon. "
Apart from the two of us in the lounge of the headquarters, Lin Xue was also there. At this moment, she interrupted, "I also remembered something. When Milia was chatting with me yesterday, she mentioned that there are many types of people in Mobrador. She is a human subspecies known as a 'mutant.' "
"Mutant?"
Sandora and I exchanged glances, feeling a little overwhelmed at the same time.
Lin Xue pursed her lips. "When I first heard those three words, I also felt that it was rather melodramatic. But then I heard that there is a human subspecies on her side called a new human … Hm, I didn't ask much. Anyway, they should be mutants who have been in contact with the Empire's heritage for a long period of time. Milia said that there aren't many mutants in her world, but most of them are very powerful. Especially among the clergy, more than fifty percent of them are mutants. The biggest characteristic of mutants is their strong spirit power. Also, they are born with an affinity with God's weapons, which makes it easier for them to resonate with the Holy Ruins. However, that girl is a little muddle-headed. She doesn't seem to understand the common knowledge of her own world. She explained a lot to me, but I didn't understand much. "
The more Sandora and I listened, the more curious we felt. We never expected a race that had been in close contact with the Empire's heritage to develop like this. Now, it seemed that the humans of Mobrador were lucky. They didn't get destroyed in a civil war because they used the Empire's heritage without permission, and they didn't die in a biohazard crisis because they were exposed to a large amount of radiation. Now, our curiosity about that world was even greater.
"This is the analysis report on Milia's summoning power." Sandora poked my arm to get me to come back to my senses. She continued to read the report. "The gathering of 'phenomena' caused by the release of spirit power. The things formed by Milia's summoning power are all illusions. For example, the two-headed wolf named Remona is actually an imaginary beast in Milia's mind. The way it appears in reality is by accumulating all kinds of 'phenomena'. For example, it distorts and obscures light to form a visual presence, reacts to gravity to create mass, and attacks against electricity. It's a kind of spiritual mirror. It's similar to the artificial angels in the school city, but it's only a little similar. Through the direct production of a series of phenomena through spirit power, the gathering of these phenomena to form the illusion of 'existence.' This is Milia's summoning power. It has nothing to do with spatial technology. "
"Why does this sound so familiar?"
I frowned uncertainly.
"Of course it sounds familiar. The principle of creating a mirror image through the accumulation of 'phenomena' is almost the same as creating a mirror image through the accumulation of 'information.' The latter is the ability of the Queen Bee."
I finally remembered after Sandora reminded me. The process of Milia's summoning was actually the same process that Ola had explained to me. It was the process of the Queen Bee's creating a mirror image! I didn't recognize it if she changed the term …
"Milia claimed that this technique was unearthed by scholars from the Holy Ruins. In other words, it's the knowledge left behind by the sages. I suspect that it's the Queen Bee's technique. However, Milia's summoning power is much weaker than the Queen Bee's crystal mirror image. It doesn't last long, and it can only summon one or two imaginary beasts at a time. It should be limited by the human's spirit power."
I recalled Ola's ability to project a general's guard in a second. I thought to myself, If a normal person had that ability, the world would have been finished long ago.
"Do you have any idea about the coordinates of that Mobrador world?" I looked up at Lin Xue, who was playing poker on the other side of the table.
"It's a pity." Lin shuffled the cards swiftly. "Milia doesn't have anything on her that can provide coordinates. She doesn't have a world imprint like a normal being. The Empire's database doesn't have any records of a similar world. As for my prophecy, it's a blurry place. I couldn't find it even after using half a bottle of eye drops. It's obviously too far away from this world."
Sandora added, "Icetis went back to ask around, but the Protoss didn't have any records either."
It seemed that I could only expand the search range of the macro world.
"I'm quite concerned about one thing." Lin Xue threw the cards in her hand on the table. I realized that it was a pile of 'poker cards' with strange symbols on them. There were abstract pictures and words on them. It was obvious that they were specially made. "Milia's strength isn't strong. Even when her spirit power mutates, she can't be compared to a normal officer. However, she's always been blurry in my vision."
I was surprised. I noticed that Lin Xue was deep in thought. I didn't expect such a situation to occur. Could it be that even though we've found Milia and had such close contact with her, Lin Xue's prophecy ability still couldn't be used on her?
"This is unprecedented." Lin Xue crossed her hands under her chin and held her head like a commander in deep thought. "In fact, I can see Milia's future and part of her experiences. However, the key problem is her image in the prophecy. It's blurry and uncertain. There are many scenes in the prophecy that I can't even see where Milia is. The scenes are like a series of third-person documentaries. The only thing missing from the chaotic scenes is Milia, who should be the main character."
Sandora and I looked at each other. We couldn't understand what the world looked like in the eyes of a prophet. Of course, we couldn't understand how Lin Xue felt when she saw the scenes. However, through the simplest of reasoning, I put forward my own opinion. "Could it be that Milia will die at some point in the future?"
If she died, she couldn't be seen because there was no place for her in the future. This was one of the principles of Lin Xue's prophecy process, although it wasn't a pleasant answer. Even though we didn't have much contact, it wasn't a good thing to suddenly foresee a pure and kind girl who was at most a little reckless disappearing in the future.
Lin Xue shook her head. "No. When I prophesy about a specific individual, if the individual dies, the future will come to an abrupt end. It's not like the blurry prophecy where the individual disappears and history continues to move forward. I prophesied about Milia, a specific individual, but I saw a future where she doesn't exist. This is incomprehensible. In those scenes, Milia is abstracted into a symbol. The meaning she represents is only a description of the phrase 'this is Milia's future.' "
Lin Xue explained things to me in a rare moment of patience. I learned that after she discovered this situation, she even conducted a special experiment. She only observed Miriya's movements for a short period of time, such as three hours. The results were the same. In those scenes, everything was normal except for Miriya, who was a blurry "unit". And if the prophecy time was extended to a certain extent, Miriya would even completely disappear.
It was like a documentary from a third person's perspective.
"I don't understand what's going on. A normal life, or even any normal existence, shouldn't be like this."
Lin Xue concluded.
The various discoveries about Milia made us more and more certain that this girl's existence was likely to be extremely special. In fact, according to our statistics, the "stowaways" who were able to survive transmigration were more or less special. Shana, Yang Guo, and Tang Xuanzang were all very cruel examples, but Miriya was obviously the most special of all the transmigrators.
The research and discussion about this strange girl was still ongoing. Now, it wasn't just the few of us who were curious. Even the technical geeks in the research center were fervently discussing her ability to summon satellite cannons. To the Shiring Apostles, there was nothing more concerning than the fact that the Empire's inheritance was controlled by a normal human.
I sadly realized that everyone seemed to have forgotten that their Emperor was also a human when he summoned the satellite for the first time.
Milia was temporarily staying in the City of Shadows, but what she was most concerned about was when she would be able to return home. Basically, every time we visited her, she would bring up this question. Every time, we could only apologetically say that we would wait. Fortunately, there were people from various worlds coming and going in the Dimensional Hub Square every day. Milia was certain that we had the ability to transmigrate. Although she was a little anxious, she could still wait patiently.
After interacting with Miriya for a bit longer, we gained a deeper understanding of her. She was just like our first impression of her. She was a rather innocent person with a simple mind. Although she could be considered a young girl, she still had the rashness and willfulness of a child. However, her childish temperament was just right, and she wouldn't cause us any trouble. She didn't know much about the ways of the world, and even described the social situation in her own world vaguely. It was obvious that she hadn't been out much, but she was born with a strong sense of vigilance. It seemed that she was used to escaping from unfamiliar environments. Of course, due to her simple nature, it was easy to eliminate this sense of vigilance. She had mentioned many times that only clerics could use the power to summon a satellite strike (she called it Thunder Roar). This made us a little curious about her identity in Mobrador. In the end, the young lady's words shocked us. She was actually a religious person.
"It's just a small sect …" Milia had an awkward expression. "It can't even be called a sect. I think Uncle was just joking. I should be considered an important person in the sect … but there are only a few people in the sect, and there isn't much distinction between them. Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It's just an insignificant small organization. "
In the end, Milia put on an embarrassed expression and stopped us from getting to the bottom of her religious identity. It seemed that she wasn't satisfied with her identity, and that she was being forced into it. However, that didn't stop us from gossiping, especially Shallow Shallow. She was currently one of the people that Milia feared the most.
The second person that Milia feared the most was actually two people. However, under certain special circumstances, she could treat them as one person: Pandora and her sister. We wouldn't explain the reason for that. In any case, they were both thirteen or fourteen years old, but the slight difference in height was really painful.
But other than being nervous about these three special people, Milia trusted the other people in the City of Shadows. Or rather, after confirming that we were the creators of the 'Holy Ruins', the 'Sages' who had disappeared for a long time, this innocent girl had taken the Shiring Apostles as her idol. Even though she would occasionally feel nervous in front of us, it was also one of the main reasons why she was so cooperative with the research institute.
Every evening, Shadora and I would get into the habit of taking a stroll under the perfect artificial sunset in the City of Shadows. Watching this bustling ultimate city slowly calm down under the gradually descending night was a relaxing experience. Under normal circumstances, Sandora would also update the street lights and the isolation piers by the road.
We had just come out from the Rhododendron Spp. Clothing and Hat Shop, which was famous for its self-produced products and sales. Our main purpose was to find out where Eight Cloud Purple had been recently. She suddenly left a note, saying that she needed to go into seclusion for the next few days. She had specially left the diligent and sensible little fox for the shop owner to use. This note caused Lin Xue to tease me for three hours. I had no choice but to ask a certain fox what her master was planning to do. The conclusion I got was very confusing. Winter was almost over, and Eight Cloud Purple had reached the spring sleepy season …
Eight Cloud Purple, who was sleepy in the spring, tired in the summer, and tired in the autumn. I had originally thought that she was a good employee.
When we arrived at the river, the cool night breeze blew against our faces. Sandora's dazzling golden hair slightly fluttered like a gently floating golden waterfall. Two strands of hair naughtily fell on my nose and tickled.
"It really isn't easy to be idle." Looking at the sparkling water system in the distance and the holographic projection of the new season on the water surface (These things can be said to be the signature of the City of Shadows), I sighed. "It seems like I'm busy every day. There are countless things to do and endless troubles to deal with."
"But it seems like you're enjoying it."
Sandora had a faint smile on her face. When she was quiet, she was like a noble princess. Then, this princess comfortably leaned into my embrace, "Being busy is a kind of pleasure. Work is the value of life. If Ah Jun can agree with this, then he wouldn't feel tired."
I could understand why Sandora had such values, but this lass seemed to have forgotten one thing. Every day, apart from dealing with official business like her, the ones who were busier were actually these girls who were always causing a ruckus! Energetic, curious, tsundere, gluttonous, father-control-brother-control-violent, black-bellied, venomous-tongued idiot, punching bag, and sadist … So, you're just the one being taken care of. You don't understand how troublesome it is to deal with the troubles caused by these girls who have nothing better to do every day, right?
Recalling how the Ice Fairy looked at me with tears in her eyes when I pulled Sandora past Elune's cold drinks shop, I felt even more tired after the stroll after work …
"Speaking of which, Tawil seems to have mentioned that the main body of the Star Ring has been assembled."
I shook my head and tossed aside the trouble caused by this gluttonous girl bullying Elune. Then, I suddenly thought of something else.
Tawil was someone who would be unusually engrossed in her work. After the last piece of the Star Ring fragment was put in place, she decided to stay in the Kuiper Belt and not come back. When I woke up this morning, I seemed to have received a message from her, reporting that the main body of the Star Ring fragment had been assembled. However, it was only in place according to the location where the fragment was broken. The true restoration of its functionality had yet to be carried out. Thus, she only sent me a message and didn't submit an official research report.
"Is that so? She's really energetic." Sandora lazily rubbed her head on my shoulder. She always portrayed the image of a swift and decisive queen and a silly cheerful glutton. Now, when the two of us were alone, she would act so docile and clingy. After expressing her admiration for Tawil's work, Sandora pointed in the air and a holographic projection immediately floated up from the embankment of the moat, replacing the original scene on the river. On the holographic projection was a ring-shaped structure floating in the vast universe. This huge structure looked magnificent, but the only flaw was that it appeared to be fragmented. Also, its black appearance looked like it had been stir-fried.
"Visca's Star Ring … That girl is really hard to talk about. She has been talking about it for the past few days, but it seems like she has forgotten about it." Sandora pouted helplessly. "To think that Tawil gave a military order to Visca so solemnly."
To give a military order to Visca, who was always unstable, Tawil's biggest weakness in our gang is that you have too much integrity!
As Sandora and I were discussing the Star Ring in a low voice, we suddenly heard an exclamation from behind us, interrupting our conversation.
"Sky Corridor?! How did it become like this?! "
Turning around abruptly, we saw a surprised Miriya appear before us.
