Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 816

[Chapter 797: Pilot Number Two]

When the gentle sound of the waves faded from consciousness, Fanna was stunned for a long time.

As a member of the Lost Home, as an individual who has experienced the reshaping of subspace, her cognition is firmly fixed on the “side” where the waves still exist. She realizes what happened almost instantly, and then like the wind He rushed out of the cabin and came to the deck where the captain was.

“Captain!” Vanna came to Duncan. She, who had always been calm, looked a little at a loss. “The sound of the waves in my mind has subsided. The Storm Goddess may…

” “I know,” Duncan said softly. Nodding, the process of decay deepened.

Vanna stood stunned in front of Duncan, listening to this irrefutable answer, and made no other movements for a long time. Then she turned around and looked at the even “gray-white” passage in front of the Lost Home, but her heart was filled with confusion. Subconsciously calling the goddess’s name, just like she did every time she prayed.

She still couldn’t hear the familiar sound of the waves. In her “spiritual perception”, there were only a few faint murmurs and chaotic murmurs – in the past, these were part of the prayer process. “Noise”, but now, they have become the only “comfort” in her heart.

In the corner of her eye, some shadows suddenly appeared in the even and boundless gray depths in front of the Lost Home and the Brilliant Star. Layers of black things appeared in front of the route, and a flat, mirror-like “sea” stretched there.

A vague voice that seemed to span time and space came into the minds of everyone on board. It seemed to be Alice, but it was severely distorted: “The jump is over… and it is leaving the channel.

The next second, the Lost Home and The gray-white passage around the Brilliant Star shattered silently, and the two ships suddenly fell into the “node sea area” constructed by entities. They sailed into the “sea surface” as calm as a mirror, and “glided” rapidly on the mirror surface.

The huge ship sailed through the water without causing even the slightest ripple.

Duncan

came to the edge of the deck, looked down at the “phenomenon” outside the ship’s side with a solemn expression, and then raised his head and looked at those people without saying a word. The large and small black shadows standing on the “sea surface”

gradually became clearer – those things that looked like mountains rising from the sea surface were actually countless black crystal clusters of astonishing size.

Countless huge black crystals stand on the calm sea like islands of various sizes. The crystals continue to split during the stretching process, and finally turn into crystal cluster structures like a jungle of sharp blades. In the ubiquitous chaotic skylight, the edges of those crystal cluster structures showed a vague translucent texture, making their edges seem uncertain and dreamlike,

which was completely different from the sea area where the Storm Goddess slept .

A different scenery.

Shirley also ran to the deck. She stared at the scenery on the sea. After a long time, she couldn’t help but let out a long-pitched sigh: “Wow…

” We have entered the node sea area. ,” Duncan took a long breath and said casually while retaking control of the Lost Home, “Then we just need to find the location of Pilot 2. It should be deep in those crystal clusters. .

As soon as he finished speaking, Moss, who was also on the deck not far away, raised his finger and pointed in a certain direction: “I can feel that she is in this direction.

The Lost Home and the Brilliant Star slowly moved toward this area. Sailing into the depths of the “Sea of Crystal Clusters”,

Alice left the bridge and ran to the deck to look at this place in amazement. She saw those huge black crystals like blades slowly retreating from the side of the ship. The depths of some of the crystals seemed to be flowing with the luster of living things. This place, which she found through personal navigation, was strange and incredible to her.

Although she had forgotten everything about the New Hope, she still felt that it was impossible to find it. I

knew

instinctively that this was not what New Hope should be like, not what was on that ship.

It was like her “Alice Mansion” was what the ship had been reshaped after the Great Annihilation.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in her mind: “You’re here…

Alice was startled for a moment, and immediately turned her head in the direction of Duncan and shouted loudly: “Captain! Someone is talking to me!”

Alice felt like she was The voice in her mind seemed to freeze for a moment, and then she felt helpless: “I am Pilot Two…

Alice immediately turned her head again: “Captain! It said it was Pilot Two!”

“I know,” Duncan said. He came over and pressed Alice’s hair with a subtle expression, “Tell Pilot 2 that we are heading towards it.”

“Oh,” Alice nodded, then thought hard for a moment, then raised her head with a strange expression, and looked at Duncan with confusion in her eyes,… Captain, it ignored me. “

Duncan: ….

He turned around expressionlessly and controlled the Lost Home to continue passing through the narrow and winding channel composed of countless crystal cluster peaks.

After an unknown amount of time, the scene in front of the Lost Home suddenly Suddenly,

after passing through a “gate” composed of huge crystal pillars, an extremely open sea suddenly appeared in everyone’s field of vision,

and in the center of this open sea, Pilot No. 2 was. Standing quietly without any cover or suspense,

Duncan looked at the neatly arranged black “matrix” and took a gentle breath: “Change the boat.

The Lost Home stopped some distance away from the Pilot 2, and then everyone changed to a small boat and cautiously approached the host array in the center of the sea from the mirror-like sea.

A white boat made of folded paper also came from the direction of the Brilliant Star. Lucretia stood on the bow, Rabbit Rabbit and the clockwork doll Rune were also on the boat.

The two small boats met about a hundred meters away from the host array. Lucretia on the paper boat turned her head: “Do you think…she looks weird?”

Duncan looked ahead with a solemn expression. , took a long time before speaking in a deep voice: …Perhaps, looking weird is the most normal thing.

The two small boats arrived in front of Pilot 2. Now, the true appearance of the “God of Wisdom” was finally out of the fog, and for the first time truly appeared to outsiders.

It consists of many “servers” of different sizes that look like stone monuments. The largest black rectangular structure seems to be its “center”. Its height is more than ten meters high according to visual inspection. There is another one on top of the dark cuboid that looks like a server. The one-eye-like red light seemed to be overlooking the surroundings – it reminded Duncan of the dark red “core” of Holy Lord Netherspeed.

Behind this large cuboid as the center are twenty-two “small” units several meters high. There are lights flashing on the surface of those units, and countless dazzling indicator lights are constantly changing on and off, and from inside all the cuboids. There was a low, insistent hum.

And between this series of cuboids, there are

countless nerves and blood vessels that maintain and connect the entire array.

The flesh-like texture of the governing tissue extends from each server “cabinet” and merges with those dark shells, even turning part of those shells into skin-like structures, with blood vessels and nerve cords crisscrossing them like spider webs. Distributed

at the bottom of the entire host array, and at the intersection of many tube bundles, you can see the expansion of flesh and blood, tissue proliferation, exposed “organs” like the heart beating continuously on those nodes, and things like the brain. Similar biological tissue is attached near the

nerve nodes and slowly wriggles.

When the boat approached, a mass of flesh and blood tissue located at the bottom of the central host of Pilot 2 was the first to react. Its surface suddenly squirmed and grew, and then an eyeball rolled out from the inside and was held up by a long eye stalk. Then, he came to Alice.

“Yeah” Alice was frightened on the spot and slapped the eyeball back.

The eyeballs suddenly shrank back into the flesh and blood tissue, and the blood vessels and nerve networks between the server arrays squirmed and undulated in an instant.

The next second, the hum from those dark server hosts suddenly increased, and the red light above the central host quickly turned on and off a few times, and a dull synthesized voice came from nowhere: Pilot 3, you? Why are you hitting me?”

Alice was stunned and scratched her hair a little embarrassedly: “Ah, I was shocked…I slapped me without thinking much…

Duncan started to talk to me from just now. He looked solemnly at the “server matrix” that had obviously been severely distorted in front of him, and after a long time he said in a deep voice: “I guess…it must not have looked like this originally.”

After hearing Duncan’s words, the central hub The red light above the host flashed slowly several times, and then a deep voice reached his ears——

“Yes, so now you should know why machines in this world are possessed by evil spirits.”

Duncan’s eyes changed slightly in an instant.

He

stared at the intertwined flesh and blood tissues in the pilot’s host matrix, and looked at the eyes that were constantly emerging and melting between the blood vessels and nerve cords, and finally couldn’t restrain his expression. “

When did this change begin?” he said in a deep voice.

“When the first baby’s cry appeared in the boundless sea,” the red light slowly flickered on and off, “when the nanomachine swarm of Pilot 1 completed the first round of reshaping of all things, the changes in us began. —-You should have seen the —- number and know what it looks like now, so you don’t have to be too surprised by my current state.

Then the towering black “stone monument” was quiet for a few seconds. , then continued quietly: “Just think of this as some kind of “adaptive adjustment.” Compared with other people, my condition is actually not too bad —– look, I can at least be here directly. communicate with you.
