Luo Binhan raised his head and looked at this weird and psychedelic space. Of course he was familiar with all this, but he didn't feel scared at all, because the scene in front of him was only tangible. He struggled to find a better way to put it. But pure virtual images couldn't compare with what he saw at that time. His consciousness remained intact in his body, and there were no visible or invisible injuries on his body—that was because he had been lying in the medical room of the Upsilon spacecraft for more than ten hours.
"This is what destroyed you once," he said.
"It can only be said to be a warm-up state before starting. If it really started, it cannot be described in this graphic way. The situation faced by the base at that time was more serious than this, but the size of the traction shaft was too small. , will not spread as fast as when star pollution occurs. Regarding the loss of control of the traction well, there was originally only a plan for the outside, but I did not expect that it would be activated by internal members. After the abort and activation failed, all members had to retreat to Chixian. In that case The previous accumulation, as well as the overall control system of the micron, would all fail. We had predicted this at the time, so we temporarily gave up on arresting the Death Order Sect. However, the final evacuation plan was also cancelled."
Luo Binhan grabbed a handful of snow that had not yet melted, held it in his palm and rubbed it. He still wasn't scared, but the swaying colors were starting to make him feel a little queasy. He didn't want to discuss this feeling with Fakti because it seemed to indirectly reveal his own experience.
"So this didn't happen," he said, "otherwise you wouldn't be here today. What happened? You caught the leader of the traitor?"
"That is ineffective. Based on the inference at the time, the Death Order Sect only possessed the unknown technology of activating the traction shaft. Other than that, they did not master the method of stopping the traction."
"Why are you always like this?" Luo Binhan questioned, "Killing and not burying? Are you doing a bunch of things that you can't control?"
"Well, this is a normal situation during the exploration stage. I'll explain it later."
"You make it sound like we'll see each other again."
"Yes. After Xuanhong's matter is resolved, we have to go there to observe for a period of time. This will be explained later. Let's go back to the problem of losing control of the traction well. Before that, I need to tell you one more thing. Xuanhong may mention He has established diplomatic relations with Chixian and Wuyuan. But for him, the current head of the base’s education institute, who was 0101 at the time, and Xuan Hong were..."
"Father and son." Luo Binhan interrupted him. Farke's eyes immediately glanced over.
"Did he tell you?"
"At least I didn't deny it," Luo Binhan said. He found himself feeling a mixture of irritation and a little bit of elation about it. He actually knew something that Falk thought he didn't.
It's a pity that Farke didn't give him more opportunities to show off. The former just nodded slightly and then said: "They may have a blueprint inheritance relationship. Using the description you are familiar with, there may be a biological father-son relationship. But this It cannot be verified by technical means.”
"What's the meaning?"
"Well, Xuanhong's body does not have a microstructure that can be compared for similarity. It is just a series of phenomena that can be observed by the outside world. Even if you use the thinking of your hometown to define the relationship between him and 01, you cannot get it. Any non-memory evidence supports it. But this is a problem between him and 01, and it is not important in other matters. Regardless of his relationship with 01, as a monk in Chi County, we have the ability to assist in diplomacy. obligation."
Luo Binhan didn't like this topic very much. He deliberately ignored Faker's eyes and asked: "What happened to your coup in the end?"
"Judging from subsequent observations and the information provided by 01, it was stopped by non-technical means."
"Who? Jing Huang?"
"Yuyinnu," Fake said, "...disappeared from that day on."
Luo Binhan turned his head back again. He wanted to say something, but he forgot when he opened his mouth. At this time, he remembered the topics that Jing Huang had discussed with him before leaving Mencheng. Yes, Jing Huang told him in the past that he was going to kill an enemy, 0206, Fang Xu, a person Luo Binhan had no memory of. Jing Huang had indeed said this a long time ago, but Luo Binhan didn't really take it to heart. The reason why Jing Huang came to his hometown is unimportant. He once thought so. That has nothing to do with the reason why Jing Huang took him away.
"She's dead?"
"There is no evidence to support this conclusion. Generally speaking, whether the life of the contracted species is terminated should be based on whether the fluctuations in the characteristic value of their spiritual field continue to exist. However, the situation of Yuyin Girl is special and this method cannot be used as a basis. Based on this. After raising this issue with Qingshan Capital in Chi County through diplomatic channels, the reply we received was just to let us let nature take its course. Judging from the current progress, the people in the mountains do not intend to explain anything to us, including restoring the state of Yuyin Girl. Possible ways.”
Luo Binhan was silent. The room returned to Yukino in their silence. After a while the snowflakes began to fall again.
"After Yuyinnu disappeared," Fuck continued, "Xuanhong, who had fallen into a long-term meditative state in the base, woke up. His body experienced some kind of rapid deterioration, and all the originally stable observable phenomena became very weak. Consider this. By the time the situation occurred, it should have been some kind of chain reaction caused by the disappearance of Yuyinnu, so he had to be sent back to Chixian for treatment. After that, no information was received from him until he left Chixian. . The reason for his departure was originally thought to be simply to hunt down the exiled Death Order Sect, but later it was discovered that there may be other external factors. However, if there is any news about the remnants of the Death Order Sect, it is assumed that he will immediately follow up. . I asked him about his intentions when he was in your hometown, and the reply he got was to kill all the Death Order sects. Considering his state when facing me, I don’t think this sentence has much reference for the time being, but it is He must be prevented from pursuing this direction."
"You don't want to kill anyone?"
"There are two aspects. First, the punishment design of the base does not include the termination of life forms as an option, otherwise the cultivation resources will be wasted. Generally speaking, micron recovery and brain body sealing are used as disposal countermeasures. In the case of self-defense, another Discussion. Second, and more importantly, Xuan Hong cannot be involved in murder. Even accidental killings are very dangerous, and intentional killing should be absolutely prohibited. If prohibited, it may cause loss of personality. I don’t know if he himself has a way to solve this problem when chasing the Killing Order Faction.”
"Where's the one he already killed? 0206?"
"No. Xuan Hong did not kill 0206. When I found 0206, although the spiritual field pollution caused by the injury to the central body was very serious, his biological brain was not there. If he did not have the will to self-terminate, should I seal it up? It can be done... This may be too unfamiliar to you. The conclusion is this: half of 0206 committed suicide, and the other half was injured by a curse. The penetrating wound about one centimeter on his chest with a sharp weapon was used as a contact source of contamination. , speculated to be a narrow sword-like weapon. The specific effect could not be analyzed at the time. According to the information left by 0206, it is a necessary condition for the cognitive hatred between the attacker and the attacked, resulting in an instant death spiritual field. Contamination. In other words, it is a contact-type instant death curse that presupposes revenge. Due to the nature of Xuanhong, it is impossible to use this type of weapon, so someone else should have done it."
"He said he found a helper."
"Did you ask for the name?"
Luo Binhan shook his head. He had never thought about this, because in a modern society that relied on bus security checks, there was no way in his ordinary mortal life that there would be a lunatic running around with a sword all day long. Jing Huang's partner was an ancient swordsman whom he didn't know. He might be living in seclusion in the ancient forests of his hometown. This sword fairy obviously does not have any binding principles on the issue of killing. Interfering with its practice may result in being chopped into human flesh.
Farke sat down and stared at him like a still sculpture.
"Why not ask?"
"Because it's not needed?"
"Then let me tell you one more thing. Regarding this kind of instant death type spiritual field pollution that ignores the intermediate process, it is very rare even among the contract types. If the death is caused by some pathogenic or injurious principle, 02026 All are invalid. Only pollution with the direct effect of 'death' can lead to the current result. From the collected information, it is inferred that the murderer may have used a special wish at a price to obtain the weapon that killed 0206 Weapons. The specific price is unknown - no matter what it is, it should be done to help Xuan Hong."
"Wait?"
"Well, it's like this. There are a lot of traces of high temperature near the remaining point of 0206's hub, and the detection of the fluctuations in the spiritual field is also very consistent with Xuan Hong's characteristics. In other words, the person who had the main conflict with 0206 has always been Xuan Hong. Hong, only the final fatal blow was completed by others. It can be explained that they have formulated such cooperation tactics in advance, but I think the probability is very low...it is not consistent with Xuan Hong's usual behavior pattern. A more reasonable guess is In order to avoid Xuan Hong killing 0206 or being captured by 0206, the murderer used such a special wish-making mechanism. In other words, the murderer may not have made a wish to kill 0206 with his own hands, but to help Xuan Hong pay The price has been paid. According to Xuan Hong's character, he will try to make amends next, and taking you away soon should also be regarded as a related action."
"What does this have to do with me?"
Faak paused, nodded and said: "Perhaps Xuanhong managed to transfer the payer of the price to himself. You were involved as the person who gave him the land rights at the time. This is a possibility."
"still got more?"
Farke's expression became more serious and he said: "Let's not discuss anything else. No matter what the specific connection is, you have not been involved in this matter. If it is left to me to handle it, it should start with Xuan Hong and his collaborators. . This is the current plan, so I decided to send you back to Lihai City first, and then deal with the problem with the relevant personnel. These are the parts that I think you have the right to know, and then you can decide whether you want to go back. No need Don't worry about what Xuan Hong or anyone else thinks. If you go back, I will be responsible for eliminating other interfering factors. Although your body has undergone some qualitative changes, it will be difficult to completely restore it, but the detection technology that deceives your hometown can do it. "
Luo Binhan began to wipe his face. He listened motionless for so long that his face was covered with half-melted snow. He thought to himself that it certainly sounded like it had nothing to do with him, since his name was not mentioned anywhere. Can he trust Farke's guarantee? At least Farke didn't do anything bad. From the perspective of interstellar politics, Fa Ke, who belongs to the Wuyuan people, is his legitimate manager. They are the "village officials" of all civilizations in the Infinite Territory.
"Do you want to go back to Lihai City?" Fake asked again.
"If," Luo Binhan said, "not now, but someday in the future, can you still take me back?"
"Well, it's okay. But it depends on your physical condition. You can still handle it at your current level. In addition, you must be able to find your location."
Luo Binhan nodded in agreement. He stood up from the table, shook off the snow flakes from his body, and carefully smoothed his hair to make sure there was no obvious white stain on it.
"I will remember this." He said, "Wear shoes at any time, and can run away at any time. However, I have met a few new friends recently, and I am thinking that I can go out for a walk. And that kid has something to hide. Stay with me - you have something big to hide from me. If you want to take him to Wuyuan or Chi County, do you mind if I go and take a look? I have already come to the county town from the countryside. I have to see what the county magistrate looks like. Go back."
He patted his clothes again, said goodbye to Fake, and went out to find his room.
