Chapter 490: Rift
The departure of the wrathful spirit did not restore the alien space deep underground, as the terminal said, the spatial structure here has been mutated for too long, and now it exists steadily in the cracks of the real world, even if it is not reinforced by any external force, it can be maintained for a hundred years.
It's still a vast snowfield, and it's still a long stretch of darkness, but the departure of the Fury has finally made the constant wind here, and the blizzard will never wreak havoc here again. Hao Ren walked forward according to the direction in his memory and muttered to Vivian beside him: "This place is such a big piece of land, it always feels like a waste of ...... just like this."
Before Vivian could say anything, Nangong May next to her couldn't help it: "Landlord, your occupational disease is too strict, right, you won't let go of the land in the other space?" Who are you going to rent this place to? β
Hao Ren began to talk nonsense again: "What if God throws the frost dragon of the two army groups to me to suppress the shock, with that sister's mental state, nothing is impossible, I have to be mentally prepared to receive guests according to the standards of the animal world." β
Becky and Lily bite their ears at the back of the line: "I don't remember the frost dragon in Animal World......" "The landlord's head is a sandbox game, you never know what idea he will come up with in the next second." β
"Your Ice Town and Snow City don't make much sense, but there should be something set up here, such as generator sets and lighting," Vivien said with a bright ball of lightning floating around her head, planning for the future, "Maybe Igor should really organize some people to build a series of small stations and monitoring equipment here...... Or let's do it ourselves. The space must be under constant surveillance, especially the Rift. β
"I'd better let the Giant Tortoise Rock Terrace make a batch of equipment. That's more reliable than a man-made camera," Hao Ren said. Looking up at the lilac light film in front of him, "yes." Especially this rift. β
The departure of the Wraith did not affect the state of the rift, as if it was really just a simple door, and there was no power connection with the Wraith. It still floated silently above the stone platform, shining, floating, and humming in a gentle and gentle frequency.
"Let's see if these two stones are the key," Hao Ren muttered, taking out two "cursed stones" from his personal space and placing them in front of the light film, "Hmm...... What's next? Open Sesame? β
There is no change in the light film. Still surging unhurriedly, Hao Ren felt that his current actions were almost like Lily.
"Perhaps the ridges on the triangular device should be activated in order," Becky began to guess the use of the two devices in the manner of a seasoned mercenary, "just like the one used to open its storage." β
"But this will try to go to the Year of the Monkey," Hao Ren laughed dryly, "Actually, I've always wondered, if this is really the key, why does it have the ability to store space?" These two functions are not related, are we wrong? β
"Humans are now working hard to make watches play, write videos, write diaries, send text messages, make phone calls, and take pictures of their own heads, and a watchmaker from 1885 would never have thought about why a watch has everything on it but just can't see the time - never use the existing framework to guess a device you don't understand." Vivien said very philosophically, "Maybe it's popular on the Wraith side to design the portkey to be large-capacity?" β
Hao Ren suddenly felt that Vivien had a pointβbut that didn't change the fact that he didn't know how to use those two gadgets.
"Let me guess what it takes, touch the ridge, the password. Inject a little bit of mental power...... Maybe it still needs to check fingerprints and iris, but I don't think the Fury should have those parts," Hao Ren shrugged. "Terminal, what can you scan?"
"They do have some kind of connection to the rift. There is an exchange of information, but this exchange is just two sets of devices making sure that the other is working properly. A blue light shot out of the surface of the terminal, shining on the two gadgets, "Maybe the unit should increase the scanning intensity to determine how the core of this thing works, but to be honest, it's a bit dangerous: not everything is as robust as made in the Empire, especially since it's just a set of portkeys made by aliens." Perhaps the core of these two small devices is almost finished, and they are only one step away from being completely scrapped. β
"Then you have to try," Hao Ren smacked his lips and finally nodded, "Just don't wash out the useful information in it as much as possible." If I can't do it, I'll go to Raven 12345 and ask if there's anything better to do with it. β
Under the high-power scanning of the terminals, Hao Ren again began to test how the two small devices worked.
Rubbing the ridges of the triangular device is effective, and the ridges are its controlling "keys", while the concentric circles on the surface of the other circular device have a similar effect, except that they require the fingers to be fixed to a ring, and according to the monitoring of the number jΓΉ terminal, these two manipulations must be carried out at the same time: a subtle combination, like playing a complex combination of instruments, requires coordination and rhythm. Hao Ren had never seen anything so strange as manipulating, and he guessed that the creators of this thing must be a philosopher-like race - meaning that they were very painful.
"The ingenious way of control, layer by layer encryption, can't be cracked by the conventional way of direct reading of information," the number of terminals was surprised, and there was no lack of praise in the tone, "It's not advanced, but it's very smart." β
While Hao Ren was studying with great interest whether these two things could activate the rift, a girl's voice suddenly came from behind everyone: "You guys will break it by testing it like this." β
In fact, Hao Ren sensed that someone was approaching just now, and he turned his head to look: "Anna? What are you doing here? β
Unexpectedly, it was Igor's daughter Anna. The girl, who had just come out of her madness, had the audacity to come here, her heavy fur coat on her body, and the cold of the dark snowfield made her face even paler.
Even if the blizzard has stopped, it is not easy for an ordinary person to walk from the entrance of the underground world to this rift.
"How did you get here?" Vivien was even more surprised, "Do you know the road?" β
"I ...... Something comes to mind," Anna craned, looking at the chasm in front of her with some fear, "the memories that the evil spirit has left in my mind...... I know you're here. β
Hao Ren and the others immediately looked at each other: they knew that the angry spirit had poured a lot of information into Anna's mind, but they didn't expect that this information would also include things about this rift!
"You remember?" Nangong Sanba suddenly looked excited.
Anna nodded slightly, and then stretched out her hand to Hao Ren: "Let me see those two keys...... I should know how to activate them. β
Hao Ren handed the two "stones" over, and Anna began to touch the mysterious lines on their surfaces, and the latter actually began to emit a slight humming sound that seemed to respond. Hao Ren couldn't help but feel confused when he saw this scene: "Actually, I haven't been able to figure it out...... Why would the angry spirits mumble all that nonsense to ordinary people? Is it educational? β
"It's not that the Rage is consciously teaching, it's a passive and random 'spirit broadcast'," Vivien clasped her hands to her chest and explained what she knew or speculated, "We now know that the Wraith is an energy field, and it is also a consciousness field, and within the influence of the Wraith you are equivalent to walking into the brain of a purely conscious creature - you will involuntarily hear the thoughts of this creature, and even weaker humans will be directly tampered with by this illusory brain. The members of AndrΓ©'s family are frequently exposed to the 'key', are subconsciously regarded as enemies by the Wraith, and have lived in the castle for generations, and they are the most affected by the Wraith, which is the source of their madness. The Wraith has no logic, they don't consciously tell you anything, and the people of the Andre family only accidentally heard the Wrai's mind because they happened to be 'immersed' in this monster's dream. Those strange knowledge and inexplicable memories come from this. β
"That is, the information directly copied from the 'brain' of the angry spirit," Nangong Sanba added beside him, "So this copy is random, and every member of the Andre family hears different thoughts, and madness can be mild or severe. And because what they see from the wraith's memories is often unantecedent, victims sometimes misunderstand what they see......"
Nangong Sanba said, snorted at Anna, and whispered: "Probably because she saw the picture of Andre's ancestor taking out a large amount of gold from the key, and then thought of the legend of her own family's witch, she unilaterally thought that her family's wealth was stolen, and identified this as the source of the curse." This aggravated her original illness. β
Just as Hao Ren and the others were discussing the spiritual impact of the angry spirit on ordinary people, Anna's operation finally had an effect. (To be continued......)
