This is Valentine's spiritual space, an endless black abyss. The white horizon that had always provided light here disappeared, replaced by the scene he saw when he first came to the spiritual world.
However, this time he did not come here because of the "key", but because of the countless black lines extending from behind Amiya. There was no pain that was enough to tear apart the soul or the thunder and lightning dragons hovering in the sky. There was only the spiritual communication between himself and Jiao Zhengyu, and...
nothingness.
If the concept and meaning representing "nothingness" can also be called "existence".
"Blade Angel? Raphael? Angel Sister?"
Valentin raised his neck and looked around, asking tentatively. Although it feels like a borderless place to him, like Minecraft. But his voice just didn't spread very far. Valentine could even vaguely feel that the time his voice existed in this space was shorter than in reality. It dissipated as soon as he spoke. It was as if he was swallowed up by the darkness in front of him.
After making sure that he did not hear any response, Valentine tried to mobilize his Origin Stone skills to focus on the horns to release electric light for illumination. But after he held it in place for dozens of seconds like he was constipated, Valentin sadly discovered...
I can no longer use my Origin Stone skills.
In other words, he is completely unable to feel the power of the Origin Stone in his body now. The magical power that has always been in his body and comes from the soul acting on his body has disappeared together with the spirit behind him, simply and neatly. Not even a speck of ashes was left, not a trace of nostalgia.
"Maybe next time I should carry a power bank with me."
Valentin broke off his own horns and gave up the idea of creating a ray of light.
"The Jingzhe is good as a power bank."
Jiao Zhengyu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, and as soon as he spoke, Valentine was startled.
Although Arknights didn't even have the fifth chapter when he traveled through time, Jiao Zhengyu still filled in a lot of plot points for him after he came to this world. Although Valentine's mind is now filled with The Shining's swimsuit and his sister's cheongsam, he still remembers some of the members that Rhode Island will join in the future, such as the Yanke who should join during his business trip, such as that After the Dragon Gate Incident, Yan Guo's Inspectorate came to Rhode Island and was shocked.
Valentine was surprised not because Jiao Zhengyu's sudden words frightened him, but because this guy mentioned the sister Jingzhe. After spending so much time with this strange artificial intelligence, Valentine understood that there were reasons and explanations behind every word he said. However, he did not mention the many operators in Rhode Island who were called "power banks" in the game, but he mentioned one operator who did not have any skills in the game. Valentine felt that there must be a pitfall in this.
"Yes, I feel that you are quite interested in Jingzhe. Telling it will make you despair."
Jiao Zhengyu explained his purpose without shame and even used the word "desperate".
Although Valentin now has two girlfriends who have not yet pierced the window paper but can be called a family, he is still thinking about other girls in his heart. There's nothing you can do about it. As long as you're a normal man, you won't suppress your inner desire for beauty. As long as you don't show it and don't put it into action, it doesn't matter no matter how excessive your lust is.
Zhang San: Everyone has a Zhang San in his heart, but not everyone will become Zhang San.
"Why, I can't daydream anymore?"
Do you like Sister Jingzhe, the arrogant and uncoquettish true eldest lady from the Yan Kingdom, who is fine in black stockings and fine in white stockings, and is a strong official woman?
Like it, like it very much.
Of course, I just thought about it in my mind. At most, I would just look back at Jingzhe when I met Jingzhe while shopping with Xing La, and nothing else would happen at all.
However, given Valentin's character, he could follow Raphael directly to the infirmary after he finished shopping with the two sisters. The reason was that the young lady turned her head so many times along the way that she couldn't turn her neck back.
After all, Rhode Island is paradise.
"You obviously have the opportunity to practice it, why do you still dream about it?"
Okay, this artificial intelligence started urging him to get on base again. From Qicheng to now, I have been urging him to discuss relationship issues with him when I have time. From Xing Yihuang at the beginning to the following, everyone can be a man and there is no problem. Valentin feels that this guy may be in their main civilization. The code name is "Yue Lao".
"I always feel that you are not performing a mission, but playing The Sims. I am the villain you created, and all you think about all day long is who I will marry."
Valentine suddenly felt like he was being kept as a pet. He shook his head and quickly threw away this dangerous thought.
"Just like Chen and Shi Huaiya, Jingzhe's strategy is extremely difficult, even more difficult than Wei Yanwu. As for Wei Yanwu, at least you are now involved in Longmen's affairs and have direct or indirect connections with him... Don't ask here What the direct or indirect connection is depends on your next move.”
"As for Jingzhe, there is no dispute between you and her. Even if you will become colleagues with her in the future, the relationship between you will only be this level. Almost everything you do in Rhode Island is related to She has no direct conflict of interest, and without something involving you and her, it is almost impossible to start this strategy line. But if you choose to solve the immediate problem and go to Yanguo immediately after waking up, maybe this opportunity will be real It’s in your hands.”
Valentine raised his head and looked at the nothingness in front of him. In his imagination, Jiao Zhengyu was looking at him with a evil smile at this moment, the corner of his mouth was full of conspiracy, and the purpose was hidden in the darkness like his teeth.
At this moment, Valentine felt the feeling of a fork in the road that he had not seen for a long time, just like he had been in Buttermore and Checheng. Only this time, the road ahead of him was too confusing to see clearly.
"Although I don't know why you suddenly want me to go to Yan Country, I refuse to take this multiple-choice question."
Is there anything in this world better than a 50% discount on mineral disease inhibitors?
without……
"Go to Yan Kingdom. Although the difficulty of opening Jingzhe's strategy line has been reduced a little, you can still maintain the relationship with Xing Yihuang Raphael. But your mission may be in another way, which is unimaginable. At that time, what you can see with your eyes may not only be Rhode Island, but the entire world of Terra, and even the starry sky that has never been touched before."
have.
After hearing this, Valentin understood that Yan Country was definitely a trap, a big trap at that.
He wasn't going to jump in, and he didn't want to.
Although that future seemed pretty good...but he still had to weigh how much he weighed.
"Hey, let's give it a try. If you really complete the Yanguo Line perfectly, maybe Yanguo can change your name to Vaifan. At that time, you can join forces with the Vaifan Alliance in the distance and lead the way. The prosperous Ursus Communist Alliance can try to flatten the world, and the regents of Kazdaele will be confused as to where this guy came from."
"Rutland will become your ally. The struggle between the two kings of Victoria cannot protect itself. Colombia is undergoing a color revolution. The integration movement is spreading across the snowfields. Sami is isolated from the world. Letania has both sides..."
…
This is a lot of information.
"Let me focus on the matter in front of me first."
After listening to Jiao Zhengyu's grandiose picture of fried chicken and big pancakes for him, Valentin didn't even have the desire to take a bite.
It's better to get out of here quickly.
After being stunned into unconsciousness by Mephisto's psychic bomb, Froststar used the cold air to knock Valentine aside, which happened to be in the direction of Dr. Rhode Island's bunker. Because of the angel soul of Raphael, he woke up quickly, and then saw the scene of everyone in Rhode Island fighting against Frost Star.
After he woke up, Dr. Noah said something very interesting.
"Were you and Froststar ever friends?"
Thinking about it now, it was probably because of his interaction with Frost Star when he was Theresa that the other party let go of himself as Yae Sakura.
After all, Yae Sakura and Theresa Sakura Ronbu look like a pair of sisters.
Although Valentine couldn't feel anything about Frost Star's Origin Stone skills in the plot, he only felt the shock from the snowfield when he was in the real world. Frost Star's Origin Stone skills overwhelmed the entire field. Under the cover of the blizzard, the Snow Monster team could be said to be fighting at home with great momentum. Even though Amiya's black thread and Meteor Star's explosives were very powerful, they could still shrink effectively. Encirclement. The entire square once again returned to the harsh winter, and the wind blew like a ghost trumpet, cutting into Valentine's thinly-clad body one by one, leaving him to rely on the fire-attributed Origin Stone skills to ward off the cold.
Amiya, on the other hand, was standing next to him, with a solemn expression on her face, and the slender rhombus behind her was also smeared with a hint of black. Countless black thin lines stretched out from the blank space in the center of the diamond, stretched towards the battlefield, crossed the bunkers, and directly hit the bodies of the integrated movement soldiers. Listening to the wailing on the battlefield outside, Valentin seemed to see the tombstone behind Amiya, looming.
That very familiar feeling came back to him. It was lifeless, full of death and despair, but Valentin didn't feel any fear. He even wanted to reach out and touch the rhombus on Amiya's back...
When Valentine reacted, he only heard the doctor's shout, and his hand had already touched the black diamond. At that moment, Valentin felt that the Origin Stone skill in his body was actively coming to life, and the activity became more and more intense, and began to spread around like an explosion. He no longer felt cold. An increasingly powerful force kept moistening his body, and Valentin could clearly feel the irreversible decay entering his body from the rhombus through his fingers, and the Origin Stone skills in his body also rushed towards him. That power. The flames and the cold current licked each other, but nature's oldest enemies were intertwined with each other warmly like family at this moment.
Finally, black once again enveloped Valentine's eyes, and he came into this dark spiritual space without feeling any discomfort.
Now recalling the force that wiped out all activity, Valentine did not feel the slightest bit of hostility from it. As mentioned just now, that power is extremely familiar to him. Although it is not his own power, Valentine can feel the death energy moving happily in his body, as if he has returned home.
Could it be that he has an inexplicable relationship with Amiya, the rabbit?
Oh no, it should be said that this body named Valentine is inextricably linked to Amiya?
Thinking of Amiya's race and the erased parts of her file, Valentin felt that his life in the world of Terra had nothing to do with Rhode Island.
However, before thinking about his future, he should find a way to get out first. Or, first find out what this place that seems to be your own spiritual space is, but who knows what kind of space it actually is.
Before that, Valentine still wanted to try summoning a light source. After all, Raphael's soul is very special. Not only can it be transferred to others, but it also has its own blingbling special effects, which also improves his double resistance beyond imagination...
Then, in this black area, maybe this soul can really be summoned.
However, it may require a special approach.
Valentine cleared his throat, bent slightly and turned his head to look around, as sneakily as a thief, as if he was embarrassed about what he was going to do next.
"Jiao Zhengyu, are you there?"
After completing a set of normal actions of observing his surroundings in this world that was not normal at all, Valentine began to eliminate the last hidden danger.
"exist."
"Then can you please stay away for a while?"
Although he knew that "absence" was unlikely for an artificial intelligence like Jiao Zhengyu, Valentine still wanted some comfort in his heart.
"Don't worry, I will temporarily interrupt contact with you. Do you still remember the last time you ate the Source Stone? I was supposed to appear in front of you the moment you entered the spiritual space after eating the Source Stone. But it was delayed because something urgent required me to use a lot of computing power.”
"A four-dimensional universe is a little too close to the universe you are in, and it is very likely to cause a crisis of dimensionality increase or dimensionality reduction, so I..."
"We'll talk about Jiao Zhengyu's wonderful adventure later. Can you drive away now?"
This artificial intelligence likes to talk about its glorious deeds when there is nothing wrong. Valentin relied on this to fall asleep during those sleepless nights when he was undercover in Longmen. It was quite effective.
"Farewell!"
After typing those two words, Valentine instantly felt extremely refreshed, as if the overnight stool had been excreted in an instant, and he felt much more relaxed.
"Your metaphor..."
"Didn't you say goodbye? Why are you still talking!"
No one responded.
After confirming that he was truly isolated from the world and that the all-pervasive artificial intelligence in heaven and earth had disappeared, Valentine stretched out his hand to scratch his face and pursed his lips tightly, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
Finally, he took a deep breath, lowered his head slightly and looked to the side with wide eyes. Thinking of Holy Light Raphael in his mind, he whispered tentatively...
"Wife?"
