Chapter 113 The Coffin
"The world is about to be destroyed." Luo Qing said calmly.
She told such a horrible thing in such a calm tone that it made everyone who heard it feel unreal.
You Chu took a deep breath.
Boy, so exciting?
I have just traveled through time, and I have not yet gained a firm foothold, so I have already fast-forwarded to the doomsday crisis?
No, shouldn't the main task of this level wait for him to develop and release it when he has a higher level?
He now feels a bit like Jianhao descended on Xinshou Village, the road is not yet familiar, and the ultimate boss of the game has directly parachuted into Xinshou Village to block the door.
To be fair, he has billions of dollars.
No matter how powerful he is, he is still only a bronze. The main line of this level of world destruction sounds too far away from him, and it is not something he can handle at his current level.
It also made him feel more pressed for time.
Sure enough, he should hug his thighs as soon as possible to accelerate his development and gain strength. Not to mention being able to solve the crisis and save the world, at least one must have the ability to protect oneself, right?
The two professors were a little confused, wondering if they had heard it wrong.
"You said... what is going to be destroyed?" Professor He asked.
"This whole world, the reality we live in." Luo Qing said.
The bewildered expressions of the two of them, like the gatekeepers, even made You Chu think for a while that they were going to ask "what's wrong with the world", but luckily they didn't.
They just showed a strange expression that they heard the international joke and subconsciously wanted to check to see if it was April Fool's Day.
"It's not funny," Professor Ho said.
"This is a fact. You should have noticed to some extent that the frequency of opening rifts in different dimensions is accelerating, and the stability that has been maintained for many years is being broken."
"That will not lead to the end of destruction." Professor Feng said, "We still have so many master summoners with powerful magic spirits capable of destroying cities.
Even if ferocious beasts from other worlds really invaded on a large scale, although it may be a serious disaster, the destruction of the world is still possible."
Luo Qing shook her head.
"I'm not just talking about the destruction of human beings, but the destruction of our world." She said, "Professor Li believes that the biggest enemy we face is not the beast from another dimension, but the dimension itself.
Growing cracks are just the first step in erosion.
In the next stage, various different-dimensional spaces themselves will begin to invade, gradually assimilating and merging our world.
During that process, our world will be subjected to unprecedented impacts, harsh environments, extreme weather, and even the collapse of space. Until our world is completely integrated, it also becomes part of countless overlapping different-dimensional spaces. "
The more she said, the more creepy she was, and the two professors couldn't help but stand on end.
"Wait," Professor He caught a word from her words, "You said, our world 'also' becomes a part of countless overlapping dimensions, which means."
Luo Qing thought about it.
"Well, this is just an inference, and because there has been no evidence to support it, it is only circulated in the analysis and response of the different dimension.
A senior in the bureau pointed out that the many different-dimensional fields that are considered to erode reality are actually formed by the superimposition of countless worlds.
Each dimension was once an independent world - just like our blue star.
But with the evolution of the long years, those independent worlds were gradually eroded and assimilated, and merged into a part of those overlapping different dimensions.
Then they continue to invade more worlds, more realities, until more and more worlds are swallowed up, and the entire interdimensional system becomes larger and more overwhelming. "
Hearing this, You Chu felt his scalp tingling.
So this interdimensional system is still a system in which big fish eat small fish?
Unfortunately, their blue star now seems to be playing the role of a small fish next to a big fish.
As Luo Qing said, she turned her head and continued to check other parts of the hall.
"When we bring back the findings here, you can inquire about the situation yourself, and you will know that I am telling the truth."
Seeing the back of her continuing to be busy, Professor Feng recovered from his disbelief, scratched his scalp, and then grabbed off the few hairs that were left.
"Damn it, the world is destroyed?"
If what Luo Qing said is true, then the opponent they are about to face is not a powerful beast, but the entire different-dimensional system itself.
This is already a natural disaster, just like earthquakes and tsunamis, which cannot be stopped by powerful forces and destructive weapons.
Although the strong human summoners do have extraordinary power, even if high-level ferocious beasts form a beast tide to invade, they may not be unstoppable. But if the opponent is a natural disaster, then the matter is another matter.
"Originally, that was just a theory, but our discovery today may further confirm that it is true." Luo Qing continued, "What we see now is likely to be a civilization that was once similar to human beings, and once faced Invasion of countless dimensional cracks.
In the end, the world's struggle ended in failure, and it was assimilated into a part of countless dimensions. We are now standing on the corpse of this civilization. "
She said it lightly, but several people understood that what they saw now was the wreckage of a past civilization, but it might also be their tomorrow.
You Chu swallowed secretly when he heard this.
It would be really scary if their world was actually eaten like a small fish
But by the way, why can Sister Qing narrate such a horrible thing without changing her face?
Luo Qing added: "But don't worry too much. The Different-Dimensional Research and Analysis Bureau has been researching for many years and has quite a lot of experience. Even if the worst situation does happen, we are not completely without measures that we can take.
In short, since it is rare to find such a place, let's see if we can find other helpful things as much as possible. "
Only then did the two professors calm down.
really. The theories she said just now are indeed shocking, but if they are true, then it highlights the importance of their exploration work.
"What is this?" You Chu suddenly asked.
The other three were attracted by his voice.
What appeared in front of everyone was.
A coffin?
It is square and about three meters long, with weird and complicated patterns engraved on the surface, but it does look like a coffin.
You Chu imagined that it should have been firmly bound by iron chains. But at this moment, the chain that was supposed to bind it had broken into several pieces, scattered on the ground aside.
The stone slab fastened to the coffin was also lifted at this time.
No, judging from the traces at the scene, it is more appropriate to say that the coffin boards seem to have been turned from the inside.
It looked as if it had been blown away from the inside by a huge force from the inside, and the coffin was empty.
This scene reminded You Chu of some ancient supernatural movies.
For example, archaeologists discovering coffins in dusty ruins for many years, opened the coffin panels rashly, triggered some curses or awakened thousand-year-old undead zombies and other plots.
Professor He walked around and observed.
"The coffin is empty, there should have been something lying in it." He then shook his head and said, "But even if there was something, it should have been countless years ago.
It's unlikely now"
"Not always."
Luo Qing leaned over and crouched beside the coffin, gently stroking the pile of severed chains scattered on the ground.
"The trace is very new, it should have been broken recently, more precisely, it may even be within today."
within today?
You Chu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had an extremely bad premonition.
Doesn't that mean.
Luo Qing stared at the empty coffin for a moment, then stood up with a serious expression on her face.
"It means that the thing lying in this coffin—whatever it is, it may have just woken up today
Maybe even still here. "
