Zongman: My five senses are connected with the proud daughter of the world

Otherwise, when the people using the sound engine fought in the hollow, the scene would be as lively as a square dance performance...

Of course there are exceptions - if he remembered correctly, Yao Jiayin had her own special sound engine. That sound engine did not produce its own sound, but used Yao Jiayin's singing voice to resonate with the ether.

(Why does this thing of using sound waves to interfere with the mind and thus strengthen the body sound so much like the divine voice of a certain Shenzhou tablet?)

"What's the name of the sound engine you're talking about?"

"The Fuhu Bell, Brother Jiang, are you interested?" Ju Fufu frowned. "It's better not to let this evil magical weapon come into the world."

"When the Huxi settlement was destroyed, everyone would rather die than use something like this to devour their own people. Although this has reduced the number of Huxi people to a sparse number today, since the elders made this choice, I, as a descendant, cannot let them down."

"But since that thing exists, its nature means it is destined to be a threat to you."

Jiang Lianqiu glanced at the girl who was skipping beside him with the bell around her neck ringing.

"What if someone gets it by chance in the future and plans to deal with you?"

"I'm very strong!" Ju Fu Fu made a classic gesture of a hero in a martial arts movie. "I will beat that villain down - wow, Sirius sister, why are you laughing at me?"

"No." Even Sirius, who was not very enthusiastic towards others, softened his voice when facing Orange Fufu, "Fufu is very powerful."

"You were obviously laughing at me, and you never stopped~"

Ju Fu Fu muttered again, then slapped his forehead and remembered another thing.

"I almost forgot. Master asked me to come and get you, Brother Jiang, to have dinner. He also said that he had something to do after dinner. What is it?"

"Go to the cave." Jiang Lianqiu looked forward.

Although from a distance, the Lymnian Hollow can still be seen from here.

"The Lymnian Hollow?"

"No, it's Hollow Zero, and it's the most dangerous Old City area. It's the Helios Agency, which was used to study hollows and ether."

……Dividing line……

The environment in the cave is complex and changes from time to time.

This meant that even with the clues provided by Zhe and Ling, it still took Jiang Lianqiu some effort to find the lost Helios mechanism.

Fortunately, these days, the former site of the Helios Agency was finally found.

Jiang Lianqiu had already sent people there to place space anchors in advance to stabilize the constantly changing space structure to prevent the Helios mechanism from disappearing again at any time.

By the way, during the search for the Helios Agency, he also discovered several strongholds of the Praise Society in the cave, and he arranged for people to eliminate them all.

It's a pity that although the Praise Society has mastered more advanced void technology than the official New Elido, their core leaders are unable to maintain their sanity in the core contaminated area of ​​Void Zero. Therefore, all the people in those strongholds have turned into monsters.

Each of these Ikai is more powerful than the notorious Ikai like the Dead Road Butcher or the Bale Building Twins, and their numbers are even greater.

Fortunately, the Yi Hai who was captured for research while destroying the stronghold told Jiang Lianqiu that the Praise Society seemed to have some unsolvable problems in controlling the Yi Hai. This meant that they could only confine this group of artificial Yi Hai within a certain range for the time being, and could not completely militarize them and drive them to other places to stir up trouble according to orders.

But there was one thing that Jiang Lianqiu was more concerned about.

These Yi Hai already have the ability to appear and disappear outside the void in a very short time - although this will greatly reduce the strength of the Yi Hai, 977 slightly well-trained An can barely deal with it.

But Yi Hai can only stay in the cave and cannot leave. This is the consensus of humans in the world today.

Obviously, the Praise Meeting has broken this limitation.

"If the world knew that Yikui could leave the Void, it's hard to imagine the disaster that would occur."

Yi Xuan, who was following Jiang Lianqiu and walking deep in the No. 0 cavity, spoke worriedly.

"Lian Qiu, even you can't find the headquarters of the Praise Society?"

"We've almost turned the New Eridu Void upside down." Jiang Lianqiu replied lazily, "The most likely possibility is that their headquarters is hidden somewhere like the Warp. Because of the interference from the Void, we can't search the Warp as well in the short term."

The base on the back mountain of Yunkui Mountain was built too recently, and some important equipment has not yet been completed, so it cannot provide much assistance to the mechanical servants active in this world.

"I know you're powerful, and so are the soldiers under your command," Yixuan said sternly. "But Lianqiu, please promise me that if you find the Praise Society's headquarters, don't act rashly."

"I... I always feel a little uneasy. I had my fortune told a few days ago, and the signs were... not good."

Chapter 199: Abandoned Helios Agency

Although he always warned his disciples to believe in science and oppose superstition, and that fortune-telling was all a scam, Yixuan himself knew that the fortune-telling skills he inherited from the old master who adopted him and his sister... were somewhat unorthodox.

Simply put, good things don't necessarily work, and many times they are just psychological comfort.

But bad things are like Murphy's crazy elbowing of the earth in the sky, one after another.

It is precisely because of this situation that good fortune-telling skills do not work, while bad fortune-telling skills work to a strange degree that Yixuan has never dared to fully trust his fortune-telling skills.

But it also made her dare not ignore those unlucky omens.

Jiang Lianqiu didn't know this, but the worry on Yixuan's face was not fake.

Ju Fufu, who has always been cheerful and optimistic, but also has full faith in his master's abilities, suddenly felt a pang in his heart and was startled.

She ran to Yixuan's side, wagging her tail and anxiously asking for details: "Master, Master, what's going on?"

Yi Xuan looked deeply at Jiang Lianqiu, then looked around at the depressing environment inside Cave Zero, and explained, "Two days ago, Lianqiu, you mentioned to me that you had found the Helios Mechanism."

"I was thinking of getting a fortune-teller to see if your trip would be successful, but—"

"Great evil?"

"It's not a bad omen." Yixuan shook his head. "The fortune stick is broken."

"This has never happened before. If it was just a bad omen, I could still console myself with luck, but it shattered for no apparent reason, leaving me with absolutely no reason to convince myself it was just a coincidence."

"No wonder you insisted on coming with me today." Jiang Lianqiu suddenly realized. He said that when he mentioned this matter before, Yixuan looked at him as if he would block your door at the base in the back mountain if you dare not take me with you.

In line with the idea of ​​believing it is better to believe it than not, Jiang Lianqiu instructed Sirius: "Increase the vigilance, send a group of patrols, expand the scope of the cleanup, and wipe out all the remains of the Israelis who are still wandering outside."

"Understood." Sirius's expression was solemn. After giving the order, he suggested, "Master, do we need to notify Senior Hood to dispatch a group of heavy marines from the starport?"

The military organization of the mecha servants is quite complex. In order to cope with various environments and combat situations, both the fleet and the army have different structures.

At this time in this world, Jiang Lianqiu did not leave behind any real elite combat forces. There were only some combat teams similar to regular garrison troops, which were arranged by Hood near the base and other facilities.

In Hood's analysis, such military strength is enough to easily defeat the ISIS and defense forces in this world, and there is no need to send in truly elite troops.

So when a man in a suit who sneaked here during his leave according to regulations and cheated the locals was discovered by Jiang Lianqiu, he was kicked back to the starport to clean the deck of the starship.

"...That's fine."

Jiang Lianqiu nodded.

Even if it turns out that all the efforts were in vain, at least we are prepared.

He believed that if there were no conventional means of crossing the world and starships could not be mobilized at all, Sirius would definitely not mind sending a fleet over to join in the fun.

But just because the fleet is not good doesn’t mean the ship girls are not good.

"…Do we need to issue urgent orders to Glory, Victory, and Observer?"

"Glorious is stationed at the research base in Bengtie. Observers need to keep an eye on Subspace 1. Let Victory come over. Isn't she Victory? Let's ask for a prize."

Subspace No. 1 is the singularity where Jiang Lianqiu retrieved the ship girl.

Now that singularity has been completely transformed into a unique subspace.

Ju Fufu was confused by the series of military arrangements, but when he saw that Jiang Lianqiu was obviously making preparations, and that neither he nor Sirius had a serious look on their faces from beginning to end, Xiao Naofu's heart gradually calmed down.

She looked at the building in front of her that looked... a little strange.

The reason why it is said to be strange is that in this hollow core area, there is actually a building that has not been corroded by the high concentration of ether to the point of being activated and becoming a monster that will launch indiscriminate attacks on life.

Although it looks extremely dilapidated, so dilapidated that—

"Wow, it looks like it's been abandoned for hundreds of years."

Ju Fu Fu exclaimed in amazement.

At this time, the surrounding activated city ruins had already been cleared in advance. As the high towers placed by the mechanical servants in the surroundings continued to extract and suppress the concentration of ether, this place became safer than the periphery of Void Zero.

Amidst the ruins, the towering building rises into the sky.

However, the outer glass curtain wall had long since fallen off, exposing the internal structure. Some concrete was also cracked, and steel bars exposed to the air could be seen everywhere.

Purple and red, like the enchanting foul breath of plants in the Lemnian Caverns, entwined around the building, spiraling upwards, wrapping around it tightly like countless tentacles ready to crush it alive.

"It's indeed abnormal. The time since the old capital fell is far less than a few hundred years."

"If it had been abandoned normally, the building wouldn't have become like this. However, given the time it's been inside Void Zero, it's theoretically possible that it hasn't become inactive."

Yixuan analyzed, his eyes constantly scanning the etheric corrosion objects entangled on the outer wall of the building.

"It's a bit like the foul breath, but the frequency and flow of the etheric energy are different from the foul breath in the Lemnian Void."

"Do you remember Nineveh?" Jiang Lianqiu mentioned the high-risk alien corpse that had wreaked havoc in the Zero Hole and was the focus of official attention in New Elidu.

Ju Fu Fu shrank his neck: "Remember, remember, that big guy is so scary!"

"We recovered Nineveh's remains and conducted some research. The plants entwined around the exterior walls of the Helios Agency building are of the same type as Nineveh."

“Even if this isn’t the birthplace of Nineveh, I think it’s probably related to it.”

"Let's go. My people have already explored the inside and confirmed it's safe."

Seeing Jiang Lianqiu already stepping onto the densely cracked stairs, Yixuan and Ju Fufu exchanged a glance and hurried to follow.

Chapter 200: The Building Cut Out of the World

The building's power supply system had long ceased to function and was beyond repair.

Therefore, in addition to temporarily reinforcing the overall structure of the building, the mechanical servants also installed lighting facilities throughout the building and deployed a series of monitoring components.

As soon as he entered the hall, Jiang Lianqiu saw Feng Nuoyimao and his men rushing towards him.

"commander!"

After the usual salute, Feng Nuoymiao immediately introduced the current situation to Jiang Lianqiu.

"We found the Helios Agency site very strange."

“It’s a chaotic time.”

Led by Feng Nuoyimiao, the group spiraled up the stairs. Jiang Lianqiu asked curiously, "Time is chaotic, what do you mean?"

"I believe you, Commander, have also noticed that this building shows signs of abnormal disrepair."

"It has been abandoned in a normal environment without maintenance for three hundred and eighty-four years, twenty-seven days, and thirteen hours."

Jiang Lianqiu, Yixuan, and Ju Fufu: """?"""

"I understand the state you're talking about, but—" Jiang Lianqiu walked to the edge of the stairs, raised his hand and brushed the railing with his fingertips, glancing at the mottled rust marks remaining on his skin. "What do you mean it's in this state right now?"

Feng Neumeow took a deep breath and said solemnly, "743 will change. Since we discovered the Helios Mechanism, it has changed its state three times."

"Sometimes it would suddenly return to its pre-void state, with all of the building's structures and functions intact. The etheric energy would even manifest as numerous, blurry figures, wandering around the building like the staff of the past."

"Ah!" Ju Fu Fu was so frightened that his hair stood on end. "This, this, this, this is haunted!"

"Master, if it's haunted, Lady Fu Fu is helpless. I can only ask you to cast a spell to exorcise the evil spirit!"

"Stop messing around." Yixuan tapped Ju Fufu's head lightly.

Jiang Lianqiu nodded, indicating that he understood the current situation: "Go on, what else?"

Feng Neumiao pushed up his glasses, and a light flashed across the lenses for a moment.

"In addition, it may also suddenly enter a state of activation after normal erosion, or a state of special erosion."

"What is the special erosion state?"

Jiang Lianqiu understood the former easily, just like those activated monsters that were cleared out on the periphery, but what did the latter mean?

"It's hard to explain with words alone. Commander, you'll understand once you see it for yourself."

After Feng Nuoyimiao finished speaking, a small light screen popped up in front of him.

On the screen, the Helios mechanism came alive...

It's not like the composite-structured machine BOSS in the game in my memory. Although it can run, jump, and fight, and looks like a scorpion, always waving its pair of "big pincers" proudly, at least its appearance shows that it is a purely mechanical structure, and it has a sense of Cybertronian life.

Instead, it was completely twisted into an indescribable monster.
