Xiling Empire

Chapter 452 The Awakener

Although we can't see what kind of laws or truths are hidden behind this weird world, Qianqian and I still enjoy observing and exploring the various strange phenomena here.

A dead world fragment, although theoretically it is completely unable to respond to new information from the outside world, but that does not mean that they are absolutely immutable. We can still easily change their state. Lin Xue succeeded We lit a school poster with a lighter, and more professional and systematic instructions from Tavel and Bubble gave us a clearer understanding of the world during our exploration. What is currently certain is that , in terms of pure acts of destruction, the impact of any of our actions on this death world is exactly the same as in the real world. We can destroy the buildings here and write on the walls here "The Empire Soy Sauce Group is here." "Game" can even destroy the entire world to pieces, just like a hard drive that cannot write data. Although no matter how powerful the virus is, it is impossible to infect that thing, the data saved on it can still be violently destroyed by a magnet. Same - of course, the relevant theories and limiting conditions may be quite complex, and the effect produced is not the same as using a strong magnetic field to destroy a hard drive. Even with my mortal IQ, I will never be able to understand the mystery...

Why am I complaining about my IQ when it's so easy?

"Boss, there is someone taking classes here!"

While our group of imperial leaders were busily studying how to display their graffiti on the campus bulletin board with childlike interest, Lilina kept trying to jump under the window of the teaching building not far away with her height of just over one meter. The girl's efforts were fruitful. After jumping around for nearly fifteen minutes, she finally found a classroom with people in it, and there seemed to be people in class inside.

This is normal. This world is like a video tape. It will constantly show the scene before it was destroyed. So it shouldn’t be surprising that someone is taking classes before the end, right?

"But it's weird there!"

Lilina saw that we all looked lack of interest and immediately pouted angrily. Then she took my arm and dragged me towards the window without any explanation, "Come with me, boss lolicon! From Lolita" You can’t refuse the invitation casually!”

Have you made complaining about me a daily habit?

After giving Lilina a moderate blow on the head, I also curiously lay down outside the window of a certain teaching building, enjoying the pleasure of peeping... well, observing, and Lilina was even more miserable than Pandora. The short winter melon was jumping up and down next to me: "Boss, you are blocking me! Why don't you carry me up and take a look!"

Why is this girl so excited?

Through the glass on the window, what appears in front of us is an ordinary middle school classroom. About thirty or forty high school students are sitting numbly in the spacious and bright classroom. Standing on the podium is a man with slightly hair. There are some gray male teachers with chalk dust on their hands and black suit cuffs. They seem to be in a math class. The blackboard is filled with complex formulas and various graphic symbols. The teacher keeps walking around the podium, speaking quickly He was writing on the blackboard, stopping from time to time to explain, or calling on a certain student to get up to answer, and the student whose name was called would actually stand up immediately and answer fluently.

Of course, such a scene is a very common sight in a normal school, but - are these the fragments of a world that has been destroyed? Can these ghosts really carry out such complex things as learning? Or is their current class scene just a repeat of the previous "videos"?

This is the first time I have seen the interaction between these "ghosts". Before, what I saw on the street were passers-by in a hurry, like blind insects and ants. There was no communication between them, but now this The teacher and students in this classroom seem to embody some kind of interaction between individuals. Does this prove that even if the fragments of the world have died, the information within them can still produce some degree of communication?

Well, this is a subject Tavel will definitely like.

And following Lilina’s guidance, I also saw the “strange” thing she said.

In the last row of the classroom, there were two boys and girls who looked like high school students. The behavior of these two people was obviously different from those "ghosts".

They were all dressed in casual clothes suitable for late spring and early summer, which was in sharp contrast to the uniform uniforms in the classroom. Among them, a short-haired girl with a baby face had been wandering among the students in the last row, as if she was playing a prank. From time to time, they shook the opponent's shoulders or blocked their eyes with their hands, and the latter did not react at all, but they only occasionally looked up in confusion, or tilted their heads slightly to avoid the opponent's harassment. Other than that, There is no other action - it is as simple as a monotonous stress reflex, and it cannot be called a conscious reaction.

And another boy with a slim figure, about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a hooded sweatshirt with an impatient expression on his face, was sitting boredly on a table in the corner of the classroom, unceremoniously blocking the way behind him. All eyes were on a certain unlucky boy. This oversized boy with a strong mark on his face occasionally looked at the actions of his companions, but most of the time he spent his time aimlessly scanning this lifeless classroom.

Then, he saw someone leaning outside the window to peek into the classroom, with a beautiful loli sitting on his shoulders.

With a "whoop", the boy who looked like a bad boy quickly jumped down from the table. This sudden move shocked the baby-faced girl who happened to be walking next to him, and then he took a picture He patted the latter on the shoulder and nuzzled in our direction.

I held Lilina, who was sitting on my shoulder, with one hand, and freed my other hand to greet her. I grinned, and the light of Crest's All-Excellent Seven Effects shone on the two students who looked shocked.

The boy looked at us with extremely surprised eyes for a long time. Although the boy tried hard to look calmer, the ecstasy and excitement in his eyes could not be hidden from my eyes, while the girl next to him cheered indifferently. He made a sound, and then ran towards this side without hesitation - before hitting the glass, he was grabbed from behind by his companion and dragged out of the back door of the classroom.

Well, that's a fool, identification completed.

Lilina and I waited patiently outside the teaching building. Sure enough, less than a minute later, hurried footsteps sounded from the stairs not far away, and the two students just ran out quickly. Then it panted and stopped in front of us.

"Yo!" I greeted brightly.

"Hi!" The old god was sitting on my shoulders, and Lilina greeted with the same sunshine. I said, is it time for you to come down? Although the touch of soft lolita is very good, it seems that I am the boss and you are the employee, right?

"Hello... hello! We are... we..." The baby-faced girl with short hair finally managed to catch her breath, and then said intermittently with a nervous stutter, "We are members of the Awakeners, my name is Ling Yin... ...Excuse me...Excuse me..."

"Really, useless guy," the short-haired girl stammered before she was interrupted by the tall boy next to her. She seemed to be a useless junior who had embarrassed her team but had to step forward to help. He continued in a tone like an old bird, "This guy is Ling Yin, and my name is Hu Wen. We are both members of the Awakening Organization. I know that you must be full of confusion now, and you are eager to know what happened, but Before that, you have to answer my three questions... Tsk, you can tell the difference just by looking at it with your eyes, so why does the captain insist on designing these three stupid questions..."

The boy named Hu Wen said with an unhappy face, but it was obvious that he was hiding his inner excitement. He was obviously several years younger than me but he still pretended to be mature and even a "leader." "I found the average-tempered boy quite interesting, so I didn't interrupt the other person's rambling talk to himself.

"Listen up, the first question: What are you doing? This question is very important. You must answer it truthfully!" At this point, the expression on Huwen's face also became serious. It was obvious that although he said he didn't care before , but he was still serious about the so-called "three questions".

Lilina and I looked at each other and said in unison: "We are just soy sauce!"

The future of the empire looked bleak at this moment.

But this nonsense answer made both Huwen and Suzin look satisfied, even overjoyed. Then Huwen immediately asked a second question: "Then do you know the meaning of 'tomorrow'?"

"What kind of weird question is this?" I was confused and shook my shoulders, "Lilina, tell me."

A certain pseudo-loli was shaken by me twice and almost slipped off the top. She immediately pinched my shoulder unceremoniously, and then whispered: "Maybe there is no tomorrow in this world..."

"Well, we know the meaning of tomorrow, but it seems that there is no tomorrow here." Lilina replied in a low voice. This not very loud answer made Huwen and Suzin almost jump with joy.

"Also, the third question: Do you... know what happened? This question is not used to judge your identity, but it is quite important..."

"I don't know," Lilina said crisply, and then she jumped down from my shoulder gently and deftly, "Lolicon, you just ate a lot of tofu from me~~" The second half of the sentence was meant for me. of.

Eat tofu, your sister! Who is sitting on my shoulder shamelessly? If I don't hold your waist, who will it be if you, the guy who moves around, fall?

Although the third answer made the expressions on Huwen and Suzin's faces darken significantly, our appearance seemed to be enough to make them overjoyed. At this time, I already had a lot of vague guesses in my mind, but my intuition made me I chose to be patient and wait and see what happens.

At this time, my elder sister also noticed the situation here, and pulled Qian Qian, who was wandering around, and Lin Xue, who was about to pour gasoline on the flower bed and burn it down (is this really a necessary research project?), and came over: "Arjun, they are?"

"Ah, Huwen! And..."

"I know, I know," Huwen tried his best to remain calm, but his face still couldn't help but look excited. He waved his hands unconsciously, as if to calm down the immature junior next to him. But he couldn't help but took two steps forward, "You... you are all awake, right? Great, I didn't expect that today's luck would be so good... Now the captain will definitely not have to frown. Come with me... Well , I will explain the general situation on the way...Forget it, let the captain tell you, she likes this the most, hey, it's been a long time since there was a newcomer..."

This is a guy who usually looks calm, but talks a lot when he gets excited. This is my first impression of the boy named Huwen.

My sister gave me a questioning look. I waved my hand slightly to ask her and the other two restless girls to calm down for a while, and then told them through the spiritual connection how I had just met the two students, their The appearance of the world fragments is obviously the most improbable thing, but we are unable to make any reasonable guesses. Even after receiving the information sent back by us, Pao Bao and Taweier said that they could not calculate the appearance of the world fragments like this. The reason for the abnormality was, but Sandora, who was working as temporary logistics in the rear area, gave me the suggestion to quietly enter their small circle and see what these "living ghosts" were up to.

Huwen and Lingyin led the way, leading us to a large complex building that looked quite old deep in the campus. Then we walked around and around in this complicated and painful teaching building, step by step. We were dragged into the abyss of getting lost...Should a normal teaching building have such a weird structure? Don’t pretend that I didn’t see the staircase that turned into a right angle in mid-air and turned into the wall, and the corridor that gradually sloped upwards from the ceiling to the second floor, you bastard!

"Although this building can protect us, it always mutates like this, hehe..." Huwen led the way and helped us clear up our doubts, "You must be curious, right? Guys who have just woken up are like this, It's okay, you will get used to it soon. We will tell you how to find the right path here, and you won't actually get lost even if you walk randomly. Well, don't open the doors here randomly, there are many dangerous doors. We have already put a note on it, but there are still some places we have not explored, and even classrooms marked as safe sometimes suddenly mutate..."

"This building is full of fiercely distorted and confrontational information fragments," Bubble's voice also rang in my mind simultaneously. Through the real-time data link, she has been helping us analyze the messy information, "Maybe It is the confrontation between these information that allows a small number of 'ghosts' to still maintain their will after the world dies. But I still need more information. The child's father bravely kicked open the doors with small notes written on them. Bar!"

Be brave, sister!

I hung up the mental connection with a headache. Everything was fine, but the violent factors hidden in the bone marrow were a problem.

This teaching building, which Hu Wen said has a surprisingly complex structure due to "mutations", is full of graffiti spray-painted with paint. "Safety" and "Danger" are scrawled on the walls and floors of the corridors. , "mutating" and other words, and there are traces of alteration in many places, and there are messy pieces of paper stuck on the doors of many classrooms, with the situation of these rooms scrawled on them, but in my case It seems that they are all descriptions of Yunshanwuli. Through Huwen's few words, we also confirmed whose masterpiece the paint-covered sign in front of the school was - naturally it was this student team calling themselves the Awakeners.

Lin Xue had been looking around curiously along the way. This girl who always caused me endless trouble had been trying to cause havoc on campus in the name of "research" (including pouring gasoline on the flower beds, which was disturbing). (an amazing move), now I'm really worried that she will suddenly kick open the doors with small notes on them on a whim. Although the latter are tightly locked, there are strange dangers that occasionally come from behind those classroom doors. The feeling still made me more vigilant.

Of course, what makes me even more vigilant are the two unstable factors Qian Qian and Lin Xue...

The former is a heartless and happy person who does nothing unusual, while the latter is a bad guy who knows everything but still causes trouble everywhere. Look, she drove towards the corner of the corridor without paying attention. Slip away...

"Hey, can't you just be quiet? Do you believe I'm going to kick you out of the group right now?"

I calmly took a step back, grabbed Lin Xue's arm, pulled the latter to my side and whispered a threat into her ear.

"Hmph, I've already entered the dungeon anyway, so I won't be able to clear it alone!" Lin Xue's answer was as fierce as ever, but when I blew my breath, half of the girl's neck suddenly turned red.

"Okay, you pervert." In the end, under my unrelenting gaze, Lin Xue chose to surrender. With an inexplicable blush on her face, she turned her head angrily, "Do you think I really They are as heartless as your Qianqian, let me tell you, there are a lot of great things behind those doors..."

"I know," I interrupted Lin Xue and pulled her to catch up with the team, "but now let's wait and see what happens. There are too many mysterious and unreasonable things in this world. I have an intuition that if we can We will gain huge rewards by unlocking the secrets here."

"Congratulations, you guessed it right," Lin Xue shrugged and walked forward, "The future I saw is also the same, um, but don't think if I tell you everything, it will destroy the world."

I guess you just want to watch us running around here and there, you nasty guy!

"Here...here, here it is!"

While I was competing with Lin Xue, Lingyin's timid and slightly stuttering voice suddenly called my attention back. I raised my head and found that we were already standing at the door of a large activity room.

The door to the activity room is ajar, and a rough ring drawn with blue spray paint covers half of the area it enters. Because of the gap in the door, it looks like a cannon barrel split into two. Lingyin and Huwen asked us to wait at the door, then gently opened the door and walked in.

After a while, the two people opened the door to the activity room from inside. A girl with a golden ponytail, wearing overalls with a lot of paint splattered on her body, and stubborn eyes sat on the chair facing the door. When the door opened, For a moment, we and the girl's figure appeared in each other's pupils at the same time.
