Looking at the pink unknown metal in the hands of the ancient Siris, Liu Xing realized that this pink unknown metal was probably some kind of high-tech product made by the ancient one. . . Although the ancients liked to live in caves and engage in farming and animal husbandry, the technology of the ancients was still very advanced. After all, the ancients were able to build large cities deep under the sea, engage in genetic engineering to create new creatures, and in wars In the early stage, you can still have a 50-50 fight with the Star Familia and the Yishi people.
"This is my soul box. As the name suggests, this soul box can store my soul, that is, my consciousness. Because my body was damaged in the battle with the Star Familiar, I had to put my consciousness in this soul box. In the box, I am waiting for my compatriots to take me back to the old continent and create a new body for me to resurrect me." Sirius said with a smile.
Liu Xing nodded and understood that the old continent mentioned by Sirius should refer to the Antarctic continent, because the main reason why the ancients fought with the Star Familia was to compete for a new continent that appeared due to the movement of the earth's crust, which would be Lale in the future. The continent where Jesus is located.
However, the "soul box" mentioned by the ancients made Liu Xing even more noteworthy. This setting is similar to the artifact rings that often appeared in the real world that Liu Xing saw in the real world. .
Of course, Liu Xing thinks that this soul box should have been made by the ancients by drawing on the soul transfer ability of the Yis people, because the Yis people can transfer their souls to other creatures, so that they can live forever, and This soul box can also preserve the consciousness of the ancient one, giving the ancient one a chance to be resurrected in another body.
However, Liu Xing is almost certain that the underground ruins of Fisherman Village were built by the Ancient Ones. However, after the Ancient Ones were defeated by the Star Families, they were temporarily abandoned and were later destroyed by an ancient tribe. The dove occupied the magpie's nest, otherwise this soul box would not stay here.
"By the way, friend, I have a question for you. How is the battle between us and the Star Families now? Since you can use your consciousness to enter my soul box, it means that the Star Families who originally attacked here should have been defeated. Retreat." Sirius asked curiously.
Liu Xing frowned, Sirius's question was a bit tricky.
After all, although Liu Xing himself knew that the Ancient One had been suppressed by other mythical creatures and was driven to the depths of the seabed, shivering and afraid to go out, but "Watanabe Meteor" he didn't know these things.
Therefore, Liu Xing is now a little confused about how he should answer Sirius.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Liu Xing can generally have two opinions about Sirius.
The first theory is that based on the currently known information, "Watanabe Meteor" can still "speculate" that the ancients have been completely defeated, and may even have been "genocide". By the way, the current situation on the earth can be given Sirius, tell me.
The second theory is to choose to deceive Sirius, or use Chunqiu brushwork to mislead Sirius, telling Sirius that the Star Familia are no longer active on the earth, but the ancient ones are also recuperating due to excessive losses in the previous battles. status.
The first theory is that Liu Xing is worried that Sirius may not be able to withstand this blow. After all, Liu Xing does not need to pass any judgment now to know that Sirius is still fully expecting that his race can defeat the Star Families, and then he will stay in the Soul Palace. Liu Xing himself was "resurrected" in the box, and Liu Xing himself was still in Sirius' soul box. If Sirius went berserk because he learned the truth, he would be in trouble.
As for the second statement, it was naturally a white lie. Although there was some deliberate guidance, what Liu Xing said was true and should be able to stabilize Sirius's mood. . . Of course, Liu Xing felt that the possibility of Sirius discovering that he was lying could not be ruled out. . .
After Liu Xing struggled for a moment, he finally decided to use the first statement.
After all, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Even if you can deceive for a while, you can't deceive forever. In order to prevent Sirius from finding out that he lied in the future, Liu Xing felt that it was better to tell the truth.
Ever since, Liu Xing shook his head, sighed and said: "Sirius, I hope you can be mentally prepared. In fact, your race is very likely to have been defeated, because it is now time for your race to fight the Star Familiar. Tens of thousands of years have passed, or even longer, and you should have figured it out by now. I look different from any other race you know, because my race is the one you finally met with the Star Familiar Tribe. It was born after the battle, and before that, I didn’t know the existence of your race.”
Liu Xing's words made Sirius fall into silence.
But Liu Xing is also thinking about a question now, which is why Sirius is so enthusiastic about him. After all, he and Sirius are not from the same race, and there is almost no communication between the two races of humans and ancients. , because the ancient ones completely lived in seclusion in the deep sea before the birth of human beings, and although humans have now flown into space, they still cannot fully penetrate into the seabed.
Therefore, according to the setting of the Cthulhu Mythos, humans only determined the existence of the Ancient One race through the Ancient One ruins discovered in Antarctica.
Therefore, Liu Xing felt that the relationship between himself and Sirius was, at best, that of a stranger who had never met him. Moreover, he was still a stranger who suddenly broke into Sirius's "home", so why did Sirius treat him so much? So enthusiastic, and he even calls himself a friend.
After a while, Sirius finally came back to his senses and asked: "Well, in this case, I have been dormant in the Soul Box for a long time. It seems that earth-shaking changes have taken place in this world. Changes, if possible, I hope Liu Xing can explain to me the current world, okay?"
Sirius was so polite that Liu Xing could not refuse, so Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "Let me state something in advance, I don't know about Sirius's race fighting against the Star Familiar clan, because that time was really... It was too long ago, and my race may not have existed at that time, so now I can only tell some of the history left by my race.”
"First of all, my race is called human. Because scientists of my race have not yet completely determined the specific origin of our race, so I can only say that my race has officially evolved into what I am now. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, there were many other races of creatures on the earth at that time, but the creatures of those races did not develop enough intelligence, so in the end, my race officially ruled thousands of years ago. Most of the Earth’s continents.”
Hearing this, Sirius couldn't help but interrupt Liu Xing, "Most of the continents, including the Old Continent and the New Continent in my mouth?"
As Sirius spoke, he projected a global map of the earth where it was located back then. On this map, the Antarctic continent and the continent where R'lyeh was located also appeared.
Liu Xing pretended to study the map seriously, then pointed at the Antarctic continent and said: "On the earth today, this continent still exists. We call this continent the Antarctic continent because it is covered with heavy snow all year round, so besides Except for a few scientists who will conduct scientific research on the Antarctic continent, almost no one else will set foot on the Antarctic continent. As for the other continent, it no longer exists, or it may have sunk in the ocean."
Sirius frowned. . . If that was considered a frown, he said: "What, the Old Continent has been covered by ice and snow? The central city established by my race was in the Old Continent, and my race is still quite afraid of the cold, so I Now I believe what you said, my friend, my race has probably been defeated, but fortunately, those guys from the Star Familiar Tribe are even more unlucky than us, and the New World they are in is gone."
Liu Xing smiled and nodded, but he was complaining in his heart, Siris, you, the ancient, are really old enough, your memory has already deteriorated, but the Star Familia can survive in the ocean and land just like you ancients, even if The new continent where Raleye is located has sunk into the bottom of the sea, which is not a happy news.
After complaining in his heart, Liu Xing continued: "During the period when we humans ruled the earth, although there were occasionally some strange creatures, uh, just like you Sirius, these creatures were basically Jinghong. At a glance, it seems that it has had little impact on the course of human history... In other words, the impact is at a deeper level and is not known to ordinary people like me."
"Of course, for some reason, I have seen many so-called mythical creatures, and I have also dealt with these mythical creatures, and I have learned that some humans have established beliefs and worship of these mythical creatures. The most important thing is that now I Got into trouble with a secret church that believes in deep divers, uh, deep divers are monsters with fish heads and bodies.”
As Liu Xing spoke, he observed Sirius's expression. The reason why Liu Xing mentioned the Deep Sea Gospel Society and the Deep Divers was naturally because he hoped that Sirius could help him. After all, the Deep Divers are also considered the mortal enemies of the Ancient Ones. one.
Sure enough, when Liu Xing mentioned the deep divers, Sirius couldn't help but said again: "What, do the deep divers still exist now? These guys are my mortal enemies. If the Star Familia who attacked here hadn't been With the support of these deep divers, we will definitely not be able to attack this place."
Hearing Sirius say this, Liu Xing knew that the situation was stable.
Ever since, Liu Xing continued to add insult to injury: "What, have deep divers existed for so long? I saw a deep diver with my own eyes a long time ago. If I hadn't been prepared, I might have been killed by that deep diver." The attacker was killed, but luckily I managed to fight back in the end."
The deep diver Liu Xing mentioned was naturally referring to Mo Jin. Although "Watanabe Ryusei" also knew that Mo Jin's character card was just an incompletely transformed deep diver hybrid, Liu Xing still selectively ignored it. This point classifies Mojin's character card into the Deep Diver.
"So that's it. Sure enough, I read it right. We are comrades on the same front." Sirius looked at Liu Xing with a pleased look on his face, although this expression seemed a bit revealing to Liu Xing. . .
But at this point, Liu Xing finally couldn't help it and asked: "Well, Sirius, although I think we have indeed become friends now, we should have been completely strangers to each other before, so how could you let him Where can I enter your soul box?"
Sirius smiled, pointed at Liu Xing and said, "I can feel the mark of that adult on your body."
Liu Xing suddenly realized that the adult Sirius was talking about was naturally referring to Hastur, the King in Yellow.
As Cthulhu's mortal enemy, Hastur, the King in Yellow, may naturally choose to help Cthulhu's rival, the Ancient One.
I see.
Liu Xing finally understood why he entered Sirius's soul box.
But this can be considered a good thing. After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, Sirius should be considered one of his own, and he should be able to seek some help from Sirius. Although Sirius is still ideological, Liu Xing believes that with Sirius's knowledge Still very useful.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing suddenly felt that he was a bit like the protagonist of a certain point, because Sirius was similar to "grandpa" in a sense. . .
After confirming the "comrade-in-arms" relationship, Liu Xing relaxed and began to ask Sirius an important question, "Sirius, by the way, where you were stationed back then, was there a bronze gate connected to the Dreamland?"
Liu Xing wanted to determine whether Sirius was a "local". If Sirius was brought to Fisherman Village from somewhere else, there would be nothing to say now.
Sirius nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to know about Dreamland. Yes, there was indeed a bronze gate connected to Dreamland where I was stationed, and behind that bronze gate was Dreamland. An unknown grassland, so it can be regarded as an escape channel. However, because my compatriots and I were in a confrontation with the Star Familia at the beginning, we did not expect that the deep divers suddenly attacked our rear, causing us to be trapped in a very short period of time. We were defeated inside and did not have time to go to Dreamland through the bronze gate, and then returned to our capital through another gate of another dimension in Dreamland."
Liu Xing nodded, and now he was sure that the underground ruins of Fisherman Village could actually be traced back to the period of the Ancients.
So, will Sirius leave anything in the underground ruins of Fisherman Village?
