An Yu sat in the corner, listening to them exchanging information while sending messages to Dian.
The signal was poor and it took a while to receive a reply from Dian.
-Yes, I had a premonition that the eye would leave the main city, but I had no warning, because no warning could stop him, nor could he stop his curse.
An Yu frowned inadvertently.
-You said you can see more possibilities than him, why are you so sure about this?
-My vision is indeed wider than his, because I can see the variables. He could only see the road leading to death, but I saw a vague road among thousands of dead roads. But some things remain unchanged no matter how many times and spaces we go through. An Yu, time is running out, don't do meaningless things anymore, your eyes are destined to go against us.
An Yu put away the terminal and took it out again after a while. He read the passage again, and his heart suddenly moved.
-Who does "we" mean? All humans who resist Chaos?
-No. It’s the law, you and me.
An Yu looked at the parchment painting on the table in shock.
——If his understanding of painting is correct, then Dian and Yan's cognitions completely overlap.
-An Yu, do you still remember that evening a long time ago? The three of us coincidentally appeared in the church at the same time. It was the first and only time we met together. In that church that day, I briefly lost my insight and cognition, and the depths of my consciousness were very blurry, as if I could only feel a huge, indescribable existence. But I had no idea at the time, and I didn’t recall the feeling until long after I left the church.
-Looking back, everything was mysterious that day. The three of us stood at the door together, while he stood alone on the high platform. That may be the clue the universe is giving us—that he is not destined to travel the same path as us.
Dian was worried that An Yu wouldn't understand, so he explained a lot of passages. An Yu read it quietly. In fact, he was deeply impressed by that day because he hadn't awakened the ability to stop time at that time. But when he walked out of the church, he found that there were people in the church. Time stood still briefly.
An Yu asked again after a while: What do you mean, time is running out?
-Chaos begins to come at a super speed. On those roads that can be seen clearly, the world is infinitely closer to destruction.
-What should we do?
-That blurry road is waiting for an unknown variable, but I'm sorry, I don't know what the variable is, and there are still many things I can't see clearly.
An Yu came back to his senses, and Qin Zhilu was still discussing the super abnormal body in Area 99 with Siena. He accidentally mentioned Area 95, and Siena immediately asked: "So why did the thing in Area 95 suddenly gain endless chaos? "
Qin Zhilu shook his head calmly, "I don't know. If you encounter a super abnormal body, don't get close and don't attack easily. This is my only advice."
An Yu breathed a sigh of relief silently. The chief obviously did not fully trust Siena. After all, she could also initiate genetic infection and stimulate the super abnormal body into something that was difficult to stop, but she didn't know it yet. Obviously, Qin Zhilu never wanted to let her know so soon.
Siena looked troubled and said: "I still can't figure out what kind of ending the colonel wants because he relies on his followers to continuously absorb chaos..."
"Shh." Jiang Xiao suddenly stood up and walked behind the curtain. Several snake tails quietly came out from under his clothes and snaked along the wooden floor.
"somebody is coming."
Soon there was the sound of kicking footsteps downstairs, and a moment later, footsteps stepped on the platform next to the statue, making an abrupt "crunch--" noise.
"anyone there?"
Kaos looked around and shouted softly, and muttered: "Why is there still blood on this table? I clearly cleaned the corpse..."
Siena immediately looked at the bandage on Qin Zhilu's arm, and Qin Zhilu tightened the bandage expressionlessly.
Kaos took out the cleaning tools from the cabinet and lay on the table to rub the blood stains hard. His walkie-talkie suddenly rang, and a soldier asked: "The coordinates sent by the Black Tower are in the activity room of the religious group. You and the officers Have you met?"
"Captain, there is no one here. They haven't gone to a new anomaly point, right... Mr. Qin Zhilu is very keen, and the red-eyed man next to him is also very alert. Maybe they discovered the anomaly earlier than us. In fact, rather than reporting to them, I think I should report to the Black Tower first, after all, my job is the Black Tower liaison."
Kaos rubbed harder and harder. When the floor was finally wiped clean, he put the bloody rag under his nose, smelled it, put it in his pocket, and sighed: "It's been such a mess lately. I just finished the docking mission. Leave it to Norbert. Before the stool is warm when we return to the station, Norbert will..."
"Stop complaining and be careful yourself. Haven't you had any dreams these days?"
"I did it. I dreamed that the people in the hunting team asked me to give up being a soldier and go hunting with them, saying that being a soldier was not suitable for me. The weird thing is that I actually agreed in the dream. Damn it, I'm obviously not good at hunting either. "
There was silence on the intercom.
"You reminded me that I haven't reported this situation to the Black Tower yet, and I will be brainwashed by the super abnormality at any time. They really shouldn't let me continue to guard the three officers... Oh my god!!"
A thick scarlet snake tail hung down from behind the attic curtain and poked his shoulder rudely.
Kaos was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground, his eyes almost popped out of his head, "What the hell!!"
The curtain was pulled open, and Jiang Xiao asked impatiently: "What is the new anomaly?"
"Sir?! You are really here!" Kaos let out a sigh of relief, "Maybe it's because the frost and snow suddenly worsened, and something happened to the collection factory."
Jiang Xiao said coldly: "Everyone there is dead, what else can happen?"
"It's not a human being, it's... I can't tell what it is." Kaos swallowed, took out the terminal from his pocket and threw it up, "Speaking of which, you will think I'm crazy, I took the photo Take the photo and see for yourselves."
The scarlet snake's tail swept the terminal away in the air and placed it on the table.
On the screen was a photo of the collection factory, taken half an hour ago.
The frost and snow condensed into spiraling and ferocious pillars, and the corpses and mechanical fragments in the factory were rolled up in the frost pillars. The tops of those frost pillars were rolled into the sky, as if blending with the sky, and the bottom was embedded in the earth, and was deeply condensed with the sand on the ground.
As a result, mottled cloud structures appeared on the earth, and broken sand and stones appeared in the sky.
When the sky is dyed with loess and the earth appears blue, the world is like a lump of plasticine that has been kneaded and mixed. People will gradually lose their sense of space after looking at it for a long time.
There was deathly silence in the attic. Jiang Xiao and Xiye's hands were trembling. Although Qin Zhilu was calm, his dark eyes were so gloomy that it made people feel chilled.
"Sure enough, history is about to repeat itself."
Chapter 91 Area 95 Reappears·91
Kaos led the way, while Siena and Jiang Xiao protected An Yu's back.
"The outside temperature is minus 54 degrees Celsius."
Jiang Xiao put away the detector. The lower the temperature, the sharper and clearer his red eyes became. Frost and snow covered his body with a solid ice shell. His mental strength had dropped to 44, falling below the warning line. He raised his head and stared at the frost and snow all over the sky, and whispered provocatively: "The temperature is still 4 degrees lower than my critical state. I hope the guy hiding in the darkness will develop faster. Don't let me wait too long."
An Yu squinted in the frost and snow and looked at him in disbelief, then quickly turned back and wrapped his head tightly in the officer's windbreaker.
To this day, he still can't understand a guy like Jiang Xiao who can ignite the will to fight at any time.
Rather than giving Jiang Xiao a chance to expand, he hoped to catch the super abnormal body before the temperature continued to cool down, hand in the mission safely and return to the main city. He was about to freeze to death.
Qin Zhilu, who had been silent all the way, suddenly said, "It must be very cold."
He said and took off his gloves. Before An Yu could react, the gloves were put on his hands. The soft leather accumulated the owner's body temperature, immediately soothing his stiff knuckles.
"Sir?"
Qin Zhilu's hands were exposed to the air. He didn't seem to intend to find a spare pair of gloves. He gently stretched his fingers a few times in the cold wind and whispered: "It's time to get some air."
Those black eyes stared at the frost and snow in the wind, which was so cold that my heart trembled.
Kaos was so cold that he jumped as he walked and said, "The communication signal between me and the main city was cut off five minutes ago. Can you still get in touch with the Black Tower?"
"It won't work anymore." Jiang Xiao pressed the terminal twice, "The super-abnormal body has become stronger, and a closed and disordered space-time is forming here."
Siena sighed softly, "It's still hard for me to believe that the colonel and I would be awakened to such terrifying abilities by a painting by that poet..."
"The existence of ability is eternal, but some people will forget it and be awakened by some opportunities." An Yu said to himself, his light voice was quickly swallowed up by the wind and snow, and only Qin Zhilu, who was walking next to him, walked slightly. He paused and looked towards him.
An Yu only looked at the officer quickly and continued to look at the snow, saying in a low voice: "Because I have never figured out why I have these powers. Maybe I have them all in the first place."
Since the shuttle bus was attacked on the winter solstice, he has been crossing the river by feeling the stones, and the other side of the river is the truth about himself.
He doesn't care about the end of the world, he just wants to know what he is.
Jiang Xiao suddenly asked to himself: "The poet awakened you, then who awakened the poet?" His red eyes rarely showed regret, "When I was not deformed, I would accompany my mother every weekend. The church listened to his night prayers. In my memory, the poet had a pair of naturally compassionate eyes, as if he could see all the destined tragedies, but he was still gentle and comforted everyone with his prayers."
Qin Zhilu said calmly: "It's a pity that those sad and gentle eyes have become decisive. No one knows what he is thinking. Just as I guess no one triggers him, it is his own choice."
Kaos paused.
"What's wrong?" Siena asked immediately.
Kaos shook his head, "We are almost there. Just a reminder, that picture will shock the spirit. Two of my comrades have collapsed. Please be careful."
In fact, he didn't need to say it, An Yu had already begun to feel irritable unconsciously.
A deep sense of space chaos rushed over him, as if someone had taken a blunt and thick wooden pestle and stirred it up in his mind, roughly and arrogantly.
They continued to move forward, and soon they saw the appearance of the collection factory from a distance - it no longer looked like a piece of space, but a huge irregular mixture, where the sky, land, tools and corpses merged together. , all the particles are chaotically spliced together, and they pull each other, making the whole huge mess become a closed system. There is no life in that "thing", but every tiny particle is stirring like breathing. Amidst the gorgeous interweaving, a silent sense of terror runs through the world.
Siena held her breath when she raised her head and saw it. She subconsciously pulled Jiang Xiao, and Jiang Xiao's mental power suddenly dropped below 40.
"Don't keep staring." Qin Zhilu said in a deep voice. He took two steps forward alone and looked at the place outside the door of the collection factory - it had not been fused yet, but the edge of the space had been stretched and deformed by the collection factory. It is hard to imagine that as integration gradually breaks through the boundaries, it will soon be swallowed up.
An Yu said blankly: "It's not in the chaos."
At this moment, he finally understood these four words Qin Zhilu said, and he asked: "Sir, is this the end of the world you saw in Area 95?"
Qin Zhilu said "Yeah", "I'm used to calling it a chaotic reaction. When all matter and non-matter in a space blend indiscriminately, the space will be engulfed by the chaotic reaction. At that time, almost all of District 95 Swallowed, the hyper-abnormality itself is at the heart of the chaotic response.”
An Yu was shocked and said: "It voluntarily disappeared from the chaos?"
"It, together with that space and time, and all matter and life in that space, form a perfect steady state." Qin Zhilu looked over and paused slightly, "You know, a perfect steady state will no longer be disturbed by anything. . When a thing reaches a perfect steady state, it is actually heading for destruction. When all the fuel around it is burned out, everything will be destroyed by heat death."
Jiang Xiao's eyes were red, "Will this chaos continue to spread outward?"
"The whole world is the fuel before it goes to heat death." Qin Zhilu's voice is still calm, even lighter than usual, "So now you know why I did not hesitate to clear the entire city in District 95. The chaotic reaction that has occurred cannot be turned back. No matter whether humans choose to clear it or not, it will eventually lead to self-destruction. All humans can do is to prevent it from pulling in more fuel before it is destroyed."
"So, that button has never been a multiple-choice question." He paused, "Not everyone is lucky enough to get the opportunity to choose."
An Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the snow on the ground.
He felt uncomfortable every time the chief said these words in a calm tone. He had only felt it faintly in Area 53 at the time, but now it was intensifying, as if he was feeling sorry for another patient.
"An Yu." Qin Zhilu looked towards him and pointed at the thing that the collection factory had evolved into, "Do you have a sense of it, especially the time and space inside it?"
An Yu shook his head, "The compilation of time should be like a flowing river, but it seems to have deformed here, with thousands of intertwined trajectories making it difficult to sort out. The same is true for space. This thing has no sense of space anymore. Its interior It’ll just be more chaos.”
He hesitated, but still didn't say anything - this thing not only made him anxious as never before, but also felt helpless for the first time. His ability to manipulate time and space no longer worked on this thing.
Qin Zhilu thought about it and said: "This place is different from Area 95. In Area 95, the super abnormal body first obtained infinite chaos, and then used itself as fuel to engulf everything. But the super abnormal body here should still be very weak, and he is still We have to rely on believers to absorb chaos, and I guess that the chaotic reaction in this collection factory actually comes from these believers who have just died."
Kaos suddenly said: "He has mentally controlled the whole city. As long as he wants, everyone will willingly become fuel."
Qin Zhilu glanced at him and said, "That doesn't matter."
Siena frowned, "What do you mean it doesn't matter?"
"You can simply understand chaotic reaction as a chemical reaction. If there are very few reactants, everything can be controlled. There are only two to three hundred thousand people in Area 99. Even if everyone is deformed and sacrifices themselves, it will not be enough to make it difficult to kill humans. Chaos." Qin Zhilu whispered: "Obviously, the super abnormal body also understands this, so he hides and absorbs nutrients."
Siena mocked: "Your indifference to life really opened my eyes."
"Perhaps what will open your eyes is yet to come." Qin Zhilu glanced at her with a cold expression, "Remember, don't act rashly, otherwise I won't consider the significance of your research on the mysterious arrival of that year, and you definitely won't Get out of District 99 alive."
