Chapter 1503 Abyss Xiling, a Ghostly Guy

I looked at Sandora's body that had been transformed by the abyss, and I was particularly surprised by what she said: "You have never changed? Why do I feel that everything is normal with you?"

"So you are usually too careless..." Sandora sighed helplessly, "Because I have controlled these abyss powers from the beginning, unlike other infected people who were in a crazy state at the beginning, so you I didn't notice this - of course, I never noticed it before. It wasn't until so many things happened recently that I became more and more interested in the nature of the abyss, and then accidentally noticed that my situation was different from other people's. You also Remember, when we first met, I showed you my abyssal power..."

I nodded immediately: "Yes, you showed me your paws as if you were showing off a new toy. I was very impressed. You even scared me at that time."

Sandora was grinding her claws on the balcony railing and rolled her eyes at me: "What do you mean by showing off a new toy? I just want to be honest... Let's not talk about it. You probably didn't have the ability to accurately sense the abyss at that time. , so the impression may not be deep, but I have always accurately recorded my physical condition: what was the pollution level at that time, and what is the level now, and it has never changed at all after being around you for more than five years. But other people are different, even if They are those soldiers of the Abyss Independent Regiment who have never met you and have only received a routine purification on the spiritual network. Their pollution status before and after contact with you is hugely different... Don't you think this is strange?"

I looked at Sandora, then curiously grabbed her paws to study: "It's indeed a bit strange, but your situation was different from theirs from the beginning - they were all crazy at the beginning, so after being purified by me The changes were obvious after that, and you took care of the abyss by yourself from the beginning, so you didn’t need to purify, and naturally there were no changes on your body... By the way, your paws turned out to be cool to the touch, right?"

"Maybe it barely makes sense," Sandora was obviously not convinced by this simple explanation, and her tone was very disapproving. "But I think the situation is more complicated than this. Don't forget that your purification ability can not only be used actively, but also has a passive effect. Huesca was always crazy for a period of time when we first captured him, and then he was with you It took a long time to get back to normal, which means that as long as you stay around, you will be affected, and there is no question of whether it is necessary or not. And putting aside all circumstances, let’s analyze it from a purely theoretical analysis: you represent the void The order side. It is the natural enemy of the abyss. In theory, as long as it is an abyss, even the abyss that has been suppressed by me will be affected by you... By the way, can you stop smelling my claws? It feels so perverted..."

I let go of Sandora's giant paw with a very serious expression: "There's nothing perverted about kissing my wife's hand - it's just a little harder."

Shandora: "...This is serious business, can you be more serious!"

"I understand what you said," I raised my hand and pressed Sandora's hair. It seems that the other party does not need to make jokes to help relieve the pressure. "In the final analysis, this situation is: all the infected people who have come into contact with me have shown signs of improvement, but you are the only one who has developed drug resistance. There has been no change in the past five years. Because since then The abyss on you has been harmless from the beginning, and it has never gotten out of control in the past few years, so we have always ignored this problem... By the way, have you asked Tavel to check it out? "

"Of course she has checked, but she is a pure scientist. She can only tell me from the data that everything is normal," Sandora put away the giant claws of the abyss, turned around and leaned on the balcony railing, looking up at the sky with stars. , "I feel a little irritable and feel as if I am isolated... It's okay to be isolated, but I am still isolated from you. Do you know how awkward this is?"

I gently stroked her hair: "You can change the angle. This proves that you have a special relationship with me, so you don't take the usual path..."

"So sometimes I envy your heartless attitude towards life," Sandora sighed, then turned her head and bit my hand lightly, and then walked towards the house, "It looks like You don't know what's going on with your purification mechanism. Let's study this later. I'm going to eat something first. Anweina, are there any snacks in the kitchen..."

"Mistress, dinner will be served shortly."

"I know, let's start with an appetizer. Let's get a few sets of steamed buns rolled into flatbreads, just as a snack before the meal..."

Listening to Shandora and Anweina's voices coming from across the balcony door, I could only chuckle, and then lean on the balcony railing to look at the stars like Shandora just now, but there was already another thing in my heart. Tuan Miwu: What is going on with Sandora?

No one had ever been curious about her condition before, because cases of being contaminated by the abyss and returning to normal are very rare, and there were lack of enough examples to analyze and study. Naturally, no one could tell whether Sandora's condition was normal or not. However, It’s different now: more and more former fallen apostles have begun to appear in the empire, and even the Abyss Independent Group has become an organic organization. We have countless examples to analyze, and the abnormalities in Sandora suddenly became obvious.

All people who have been contaminated by the abyss will change after coming into contact with me, even top powerhouses like Harlan and Bingtis are no exception, but Sandora can be sure that the abyss reaction in her body has never diminished. Nor has the activity been reduced - of course this may be related to the fact that the Abyss in her body has been controlled, but as she said, things cannot be concluded so simply.

Somehow, I suddenly thought of the Abyss Xiling again, the haunting, omnipresent, and powerful person who seems to have a foot in the door no matter where she goes: Could this have anything to do with her? ?

This may seem a bit neurotic, but don’t forget one thing: when the Revenge Army was trapped in another world, it was the product of Abyss Xiling’s plan!

Abyss Xiling is a cautious and meticulous person, which can be seen from the various self-rescue plans she has formulated and the success rate of those self-rescue plans: almost every area in the old empire that can struggle has saved itself, but so far it has definitely succeeded. Her self-rescue plan was basically the work of Abyss Xiling. Everything she planned seemed to have no loopholes. Even some seemingly insignificant details proved to have profound meaning in the end. So what the Revenge Army originally planned There is an abyss in the world where I am trapped. Could this be a flaw?

I frowned and started to look back at these points in time: After the Revenge Army was trapped in the other world, they basically started a war with the local abyss monsters immediately. At that time, the Abyss Xiling was releasing the Ark Fleet. In about a hundred years after that, The contaminated area has been progressively getting worse. But it did not completely collapse for a while, which means that at least during that hundred years, Abyss Xiling was still awake and had the ability to check whether her various plans were going smoothly: if the Abyss encountered by the Revenge Army was an "accidental product" , then she has a full hundred years to correct all this!

But she didn't. Sandora and her soldiers fought fiercely on a primitive planet. They were obviously the retained fire, but they had to continue to face the threat of the abyss. If this is not a flaw in the plan, then there is only one answer: Abyss Xiling did it on purpose.

She needs to expose the Revenge Army to local contamination, and even...she needs an infected Xiling Emperor.

One thing must be noted during this process: Abyss Xiling made this plan in a "wake state". Before she was controlled by corruption, she made the decision to merge a vital fire with Abyss!

Why would a Xiling apostle who was mentally sound and absolutely loyal to the empire make such a decision?

Of course, there are still some unclear explanations. For example, Shandora's original march plan was decided by herself. Her route to a world polluted by the abyss was also random, and it should not be controlled by the Abyss Xiling... Wait, it seems not necessarily, if Shandora Ramen back then Are those abyss arranged in advance?

As these conjectures deepened, I felt creepy: How big does that internet ghost plan to be?

I shook my head vigorously, feeling that I had thought about this problem too complexly and deeply. And many of them are just conjectures that cannot be confirmed at all. Even trying to break your head is futile, so you can only put them aside for now. Maybe you can go to Sandora to discuss them after you think about these things a little more clearly.

"Brother, brother!" A cheerful cry suddenly came from below. I looked down and saw a pair of shining red cat eyes. Viska pulled the corner of my clothes hard and swayed there. "So you are here! Brother, what are you looking at?"

"Why did you turn into cat ears again?" Seeing this quirky girl made me feel happy, and I pinched her fluffy cat ears - by the way, I changed into a cat once on Haisenwood. After that, the girl seemed to be quite interested in the cat ears, "I didn't see much, just studied the stars, oh, and the moon by the way."

Viska's personality is not suitable for thinking about complex issues. But if she knew what I was thinking about just now, this girl would definitely not feel at ease. She is the type who will join in the fun even if she can't help, so let her waste her efforts. It's better not to let her know first. I made up a random reason and diverted this girl's attention aside.

It gets dark quite early at this time of year, and the moon has already risen in the sky. Weska and I stood on the balcony railing and watched for a while, and suddenly said: "Brother, look at how round I am!"

I looked up at the moon in the sky with a weird expression: "...well, it's quite round."

"Human beings seem to have thrown a lot of messy things on me," Viska muttered with a frown, "There are detectors, lunar rovers, and big footprints, especially that footprint. They plan to give it to me." It should be preserved as a cultural heritage forever and I want to clean it up..."

I immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "Don't mention it! Do you know how hard people on earth work!"

"But it's time for me to take a shower," Viska looked up at me. "Other people's Glory starships are usually put away. Only mine has been left outside for more than 700,000 years. It's so dirty..."

I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead: "There is a rock crust outside your planetary fortress, okay?"

"But there was no detector." Viska scratched her hair vigorously. It seemed that the sympathetic hyperlink between the moon and her was abnormal again. "Itchy! I don't know what happened to the fuel used by the people on earth. It seems to be burning." It’s not clean and there are a lot of residues…”

I felt that if we continued this topic, it would be too weird to take it back, so I quickly pinched Viska’s face to divert her attention: “Okay, okay, when the people on earth are ready to mine helium-3 on the moon. How about we make a new moon to replace you? You hang in the sky for a few years first."

"Mining helium-3?" Viska's eyes suddenly lit up, "Oh, by the way, the people on Earth seem to have this plan... Then we won't change it until they finish mining."

This time it was my turn to be surprised: "Why do you have no objection when someone is mining on you?"

"The helium-3 in the rock shell is so annoying. I've wanted to clean it out for a long time." Viska gestured happily, "I'll treat it like an earthling and polish it for me, and also give me a massage..."

I was stunned: "..."

As expected, the only topics we can talk about with Viska are this weird one!

For many days to come. We finally have the calm days we have been waiting for.

The spacecraft that crashed on the earth 70,000 years ago has been successfully transported to Shadow City, and all corresponding aftermath work has been completed perfectly. Several expert teams, under the leadership of Tavel, conducted inhumane research on the spacecraft - the basic process was to dismantle it to the point where even the mother would not recognize it. As expected, this spacecraft has no number, and there are no nameplates on all the equipment in the spacecraft. Just like the Ark that Warren Field was riding on, it was a "blank" old ship. Imperial starship. Now we know that this "blank" state is the characteristic of things made by Abyss Xiling - I believe that if we encounter a similar "blank item" next time, we will be able to figure out where it came from immediately.

But for now. I would rather not encounter these troublesome things again: Has Abyss Xiling brought too many troublesome things to everyone?

The situation on the other side of the border is also business as usual. The new boundary line has stabilized. Now the Abyss Independent Regiment is accelerating the construction of fortresses at several border nodes. From the day the New Empire and the Abyssal Zone truly bordered, our need for border defense has been raised to a new level. Now we not only need a large number of defense forces, but also border sovereignty facilities that can withstand forced jumps and a large number of space fortresses. ——At least it’s on the same level as the turtle shell we saw on the fallen apostle’s territory. And there are more of them. This is a very heavy construction task, but Harlan personally supervised it, and he confidently guaranteed that the Abyss Independent Group can undertake all the construction work, so Sandora and I don't need to worry too much about this aspect. We just need to worry about it. Just pile enough Imperial Guard troops to the border while the Abyss Independent Regiment is busy attacking the base.

As for the Abyss area... well, whether they are willing to admit it or not, the Abyss Xiling seems to be quite "cooperative": the internal strife of the fallen apostles continues in a tepid state.

The Empire and the Protoss conducted several high-intensity telemetry surveys of the Abyssal Zone. The detection results are consistent, confirming that there have been large and small military frictions within the abyss area. If I guessed correctly, the new army and the old army are still competing for the leadership of certain local areas. These conflicts seem to be well contained. The energy of the fallen apostles (no matter which faction they belong to), their frequency of activities in the border areas has dropped to a historical low. Even if the new empire builds border fortresses right under their noses, the latter seems to have no time to care. Of course, there are still some necessary reactions, such as self-destructing drone attacks and provocative probe push, which are better than nothing. It's not so much fighting, but it's more like sending text messages to us saying "Brother is not dead yet"...

The border forces intercepted some self-destructing drones and probes, and finally confirmed that these things came from the "New Army": It seems that Abyss Xiling kept her promise, at least her troops did not run out to cause trouble, and the guy seemed to be really focused Yu helped us contain the new army.

However, the more the other party appears to be so harmless and true to its promise, the more uncertain I feel: Who is Abyss Xiling? Look at her many plans that could scare people and her ubiquitous... figure. This kind of almost ghostly guy... would he really end up like this?

I now even suspect that even the "split" of the Abyssal Zone is part of her plan. This plan may even have been formulated by her 70,000 years ago!

Okay, this may be a bit exaggerated, as long as it involves the issue of Abyss Xiling. I'm totally neurotic...

In short, the situation in the Abyss Zone seems to be very good. Although the fallen apostles have not died many, at least they do not plan to come out in the short term. I just don’t know how long this stalemate can last. According to my experience of being cheated in the past few years, It is possible for them to be peaceful for two years, it is also possible for them to be peaceful for two days, it is even more likely that they will drive a hundred thousand troops to the gate of the empire early tomorrow morning to greet me... This is life! I have basically been tricked by them all the way over the past five years!

It turned out that I really couldn't live a quiet life for a long time. I finally spent a few days at home with peace of mind, and finally something happened.

At noon this day, I was holding Little Bubble and basking in the sun in the yard. While letting my thoughts spread freely in the warm sunshine, I tried to correct the messy pronunciation and grammatical habits of the little girl in my arms (if Little Bubble If the language really has grammar), he was as lazy as a salted fish, and then the emergency communication from Shadow City rang in his mind like a reminder.

The emergency communication was sent by Tavel, and the content contained only one sentence: "A large number of unknown objects were found in the abyss gate used for deep diving, suspected to be some kind of debris group!"

The moment I heard this news, I knew that the amount of information brought by this matter was probably no less than the split of the Abyss Zone? - My peaceful life was over again. (To be continued.
