(ps: I’m really sorry. I originally wanted to write more, but something happened at home. Although my wife is the main force, I can’t settle down and write the book. It’s estimated that it will take two to three days. I’ll give it to you again. Everyone apologizes.)
"...You don't have much time."
The forbidden treasure house of the Yalong clan.
The Yaron clan used space technology to build a three-point-five-dimensional space corridor, and the end of this corridor is in the core of this star that is without any abnormalities or features and can be seen everywhere in this river system.
This is a planetless star system with only a very sparse asteroid belt. At the same time, the star is very small, so it is almost worthless to cosmic civilization. There are many such stars in the galaxy, and they are common. , no one pays attention.
This star is the forbidden treasure house of the Yalong clan!
Once any civilization reaches the overlord level (fourth-level cosmic civilization), the civilization's condensed body can begin to extend into the dark matter world, so that it can draw spirituality from the dark matter world. Although it is not enough to break the sterilization curse, the race Newborns can also be born naturally in small numbers. This is also the reason why the Yalong tribe gradually began to have middle- and high-level people in their tribe after they achieved the fourth level of cosmic civilization.
But in addition to this benefit, this kind of civilization condensed body is partly rooted in the world of dark matter due to its size, which will also bring some hidden dangers to the race, such as enemies of life and material nightmares. If these monsters accidentally breed in dark matter, The world will attack the life in the material world along the place where the civilization condensation takes root, and as time passes and the life of this race dies, "strange things" will be born.
These strange objects are neither matter nor dark matter. Their existence is strange and inexplicable. There are rumors that these strange objects are impurities caused by high-dimensional fear escaping. They are often very dangerous and violate almost all the laws of the material universe, showing... Completely unpredictable special attributes.
Ever since the Yalong Tribe entered the fourth-level cosmic civilization, a strange object has been born every few thousand years. So far, the Yalong Tribe has a total of four strange objects.
These four strange objects are all indestructible and cannot be annihilated by any means, and one of the strange objects has the ability to cause great destruction. Because of this, the Yalong Clan spent a huge amount of money to build this airtight seal. Therefore, once the strange object shows signs of escaping or starting up, the entire three-point-five-dimensional space corridor will immediately shrink inward, decaying the star into a small black hole in a short period of time. After that, the small black hole will be quickly annihilated due to its own mass problem. , this is also the only way that the Yalong clan can think of to destroy strange objects.
However, in addition to being harmful, strange objects also have wonderful uses. To put it simply, as long as your imagination is big enough, these strange objects may not be able to become super weapons or super tools. After all, their operating rules completely violate the laws of the universe. This thing The value of them is also very huge, so after the Yalong clan became a fourth-level cosmic civilization, these strange objects were sealed.
At the same time, one of these four strange objects has a memetic effect. Anyone who knows about this strange object will be attacked by this strange object, regardless of time and space, because all the senior Yalong clan officials who know the existence of strange objects, they The memory about the existence of strange objects and this forbidden treasure house will be completely erased. Every five hundred years, the forbidden treasure house will start the internal program, and then instill the backup of these deleted memories to the Yalong clan senior officials.
When Wei led almost all the mobile field troops of the Yalong tribe to attack, the senior officials of the Yalong tribe who had been controlled by Wei suddenly recovered their memories of strange objects. This was really a coincidence. The five-hundred-year interval coincided with Wei's encirclement and suppression of mankind. .
These high-level officials of the Yalong Tribe have been set up by Wei with multiple psychic suggestions and memory blockades. However, these psychic hints and memory blockades are all related to their loyalty to Wei and the maintenance of the entire Yalong Tribe. The forbidden treasure house is inspected once every five hundred years. , confirming the safety issue of strange objects. This does not involve any conspiracy against Wei, but also involves the maintenance of the Yalong clan. Therefore, without triggering psychic suggestion and blockade, some senior Yalong clan officials inspected the forbidden treasure house. .
In the forbidden treasure house, their spiritual suggestions and blockades turned into physical objects.
Chicken soup for the soul.
This is one of the strange objects of the Yalong tribe. Once you get close to the strange object within a kilometer, it will cause the thoughts in the spiritual world to materialize. The closer you get, the more bizarre and weird this materialization becomes. At the same time, the spirit of this life will also be implanted with some weird and weird thoughts, the simplest ones such as dual personality, multiple personalities, etc.
Wei's psychic ability is very powerful. When these senior executives come within a kilometer of Chicken Soup for the Soul, these spiritual hints and blockades turn into physical chains, which also means that these senior executives are freed from psychic hints and blockades. Their minds and consciousness are free at this moment.
These senior executives were horrified, and fear and regret almost overwhelmed their hearts.
The leaders of the race who were aloof were turned into slaves by an ancient man. This horror made them hate Wei to the extreme and at the same time, they were also deeply afraid of her.
So these senior officials activated another strange object, the non-absolute equivalent balance.
This is a passive exotic object.
When an intellectual life comes to this scale, it will hear a message that cannot be described in any language. Others cannot detect it and cannot know the message. Only the intellectual life approaching can fully understand the meaning of the message.
You can trade an object, a twisted concept, or something abstract. For example, you can trade your clothes, your fingers, your life, your name, or your personality. , your memory, or the concept of you as a life, etc. are traded.
The things you trade must be owned by you. For example, you cannot trade with the entire universe, nor can you trade with a star that you cannot control or reach.
The value of things will be assessed by universal value. The Yalong Tribe has conducted extremely detailed tests on this. Experts from the Yaron Tribe believe that the scale can detect intellectual life within a range of at least 100,000 light-years, and then use all these life forms to determine the value of things. The value is determined by the cognition of the balance. For example, the current value assessment of the scale is based on the values of the six overlord-level civilizations.
After paying what you exchanged, you can state a wish in a directional way. If the value of both parties is "equal", then you can achieve this wish.
But there is a very, very, very fucked-up setting here, which is the concept of non-absolute equivalence.
If you take out something worth one star, you may only get one planet, an ordinary planet made of silicon dioxide. Of course, you may also get something worth two stars, three or four. ...it's all possible.
Once the deal is reached, then what you paid will be lost, and the wish can be fulfilled. But once the deal is not reached...any life that makes the deal will become part of this scale. This scale was only thirty centimeters high when it was discovered. A small and simple balance, but now this balance is fifty meters high...
It is beyond imagination for these dozen high-level officials. Once they leave Chicken Soup for the Soul, they will immediately be changed by spiritual suggestion and blockade. They will become slaves again, and they will be willing slaves. This is no different from death. .
So they would rather die than change back. Fortunately, Chicken Soup for the Soul happened to have access to this strange object, the Non-Absolute Equivalent Scale, within a kilometer range.
These more than ten senior officials couldn't wait to come to the seal room of the Non-Absolute Equivalent Scale. After opening the door, they saw the scale covered with the faces and skulls of the Yalong clan.
The first transaction was that they exchanged twenty Yaron colonial star systems for breaking all the psychic hints and blockades on them.
The deal was successfully concluded, and more than a dozen senior Yalong clan officials were safe and sound, which made them relieved.
This was also what they expected.
Although the non-absolutely equivalent balance has an extremely high probability, in the tests of countless transactions in the past, experts from the Yalong Tribe have measured it within a general range, and the maximum value depreciation is estimated to be 10,000 parts. About one, that is, the value is basically impossible to be less than one ten thousandth of the transaction object, and the appreciation rate may be between ten and twenty times. This is an extremely unlikely event. One star can be exchanged for ten , the kind worth twenty stars.
Wei's psychic ability is indeed extremely powerful, but she does not only target one high-level executive, but controls all high-level officials in a wide area. The psychic suggestions and blockades on each high-level executive do not become an absolute deadlock, so Even if the value of the twenty star systems is only one ten thousandth, it can definitely compensate for Wei's mind control.
"what should we do?"
After releasing the mind control, these dozen senior executives fell into silence.
They were finally free, but there was no way they could fight Wei.
The total number of high-level people in the entire Yalong clan is about two thousand, including members of the royal family, supreme councilors, and high-level military lords from three camps. Among these dozen or so people, there are people from all three camps. In addition to the forbidden treasure house, there are also There are more than a thousand high-level officials with the same authority and authority as them. Even as inspectors of the forbidden treasure house, they are not the top of the two thousand people.
This means that even if they gain freedom, as soon as they leave the forbidden treasure house and meet other senior officials, the other senior officials will immediately massacre a dozen of them because they are already "alien".
At the same time, even if they are avoiding other senior officials, as long as Wei returns, they will become slaves again sooner or later.
So after a long discussion, they came to two conclusions.
Either the mental changes of all high-level officials can be released, allowing the Yalong clan to completely escape Wei's control, and then using the full military strength of the Yalong clan to kill Wei remotely.
Or they fled far away, relied on their power to seize a large number of long-distance deep space carriers, brought a large number of golden fruits and Yalong clan members, and left this river system. From then on, they became a wandering race, possessing This is enough for the wandering race at the fourth-level cosmic civilization level to live to the end of their lifespan. They will still have glory and wealth, but they will lose their current supreme racial authority.
This was the only option they had discussed, but both options were unsatisfactory.
The first option is almost impossible to do. Although they can take the non-absolutely equivalent balance out of the forbidden treasure house, once they leave the forbidden treasure house, according to the preset procedures, their memory of the strange objects in the forbidden treasure house will be lost, and they will no longer be able to do so. Knowing what the non-absolute equivalent balance is, its characteristics and information will be lost. In this way, they will not be able to save most of the top leaders.
As for the second option, although it can be done, they are not willing to do it!
They have mastered the supreme authority of the overlord-level civilization, suppressed the entire river system, and controlled the life and death of countless third-level cosmic civilizations. How could they be willing to give up such power?
Just when these senior executives were getting entangled, a shadow appeared.
Multiple choice questions.
This is the name of this shadow.
That's why they erased their memories of strange objects.
As long as you know the existence of this strange object, you will be attacked and affected by this strange object no matter when and where you are.
It may be an intellectual oddity, or it may be an oddity that you think is intellectual.
When you know the information about this strange object, you will see this shadow, and then you can talk to it, and you can also get plausible answers from it. It is harmless at the beginning, but as time goes by, you You will gradually fall into the choice.
The symptoms at the beginning are like a choice disorder, and the symptoms will gradually deepen until you can't move because you don't know which foot to take. You may even start to be unable to breathe because you can't choose the end. Should I exhale or inhale first?
Of course, you can survive this stage by relying on high-tech means, and then you will reach the next stage... Multiple-choice questions will change the laws of matter, and you will start to choose various abstract and twisted concepts, or a maze-like maze will appear in the material world. Puzzles about jokes and more.
An accident occurred at that time, and the end of the accident resulted in the complete disappearance of 10% of the colonies and military strength of the Yalong clan and another overlord civilization...
More than a dozen senior executives ignored this shadow, because the multiple-choice questions at this stage were ineffective and lasted for about half a month. It was definitely impossible for them to stay here for half a month.
But at this moment, the shadow suddenly spoke and sent out a message.
"...You don't have much time."
"So how about you listen to the choices I give you?"
"Leave from here, flee to the void, and then... there will be no more. You will never want to know what kind of horror is filled in the void outside the river system."
"Another option..."
"How about trading the Golden Dragon Chapter?"
"Its value is beyond your imagination. You can make a wish to erase all traces of Wei from birth to now. Of course, this is too wasteful, so my advice to you is..."
"How about controlling the light of the stars? If you use the Golden Dragon Chapter to trade, even if it is only one ten thousandth of the value, it is enough to control the light of the stars."
The dozen or so senior officials seemed to ignore the shadow, but there was some kind of greed in their eyes.
At this moment, they chose selfishness and greed.
