Chapter 629 Grave
In the empty crystal hall, several empire leaders stood opposite a middle-aged villain uncle wearing a black robe.
To be fair, the appearance of the guy in front of me is really not suitable for being called a villain. How many literary and artistic works tell us that being a villain requires not only a dirty head and a bad mind, but also a look with enough presence, otherwise Just take the brutalist route, go to that station with a height of eight feet and a waist of eight feet, and a fierce face that can block the mobile phone signal. If you can't become the final boss, at least you can be among the small bosses in the penultimate level. It scares people, or she is born with a look that confuses all living beings and charms the world. From the first episode, she looks like the second male lead, full of halo. Looking at the back, if you don't add subtitles, you will think she is a princess from some country. He ran away from a wedding at a wedding, and he has a mind that is astonishing to the world. This kind of guy can cause harm to the people at any time. If he goes bad, he will be wronged by the boss at the end... Anyway, when I see people who are more handsome than me, they all treat them as villains. of.
In short, if you want to be a villain, you have to be either a beast or an idol. Villains who are close to the people have a very low success rate - my inability to be a villain is the ironclad proof.
And this Occam is not just a bastard. Apart from the disgusting things he did, how could there be anything remotely suggestive of a villain in his face? He is as ordinary as his neighbor Uncle Wang. Within five minutes of going out to the vegetable market, you can meet six or seven people with the same temperament as him. Of course, it may be because he has such a face that is so ordinary that people can forget it. All the villain cells were concentrated in that dirty brain.
I was not taken lightly last time.
Anyway, no matter how unimpressive this guy's face is, I remember him deeply. The combination of his always smiling expression and his seemingly friendly way of speaking was quite distinctive.
"It's been a long time indeed. You can choose one yourself."
Faced with Occam's greeting with a smile on his face, as if he were an acquaintance, I gave him a bright smile in return. Apart from anything else, there was indeed a hint of surprise in this guy's eyes just now, which means that our presence here may not be possible. This was not what he expected. Regardless of whether he had other arrangements in the archives, at this distance, he had no time to escape.
"What to choose?"
Occam was stunned by my meaningless words, but he still showed a slightly wary expression, "'Your Majesty the Emperor,' did you bring me a gift?"
It was just a slight caution, but it was enough to prove that he was not completely sure now!
Although we only met once, I have seen this guy's style of never taking action until he is completely sure. When he shows an unexpected expression, it means that the situation is favorable to us, but we don't know what this guy's ability is. Even Viska didn't mention the opponent's fighting style, so I didn't take action rashly, because most of the leader-level Xiling apostles have one or two unique skills that are the best in the box. This skill can even allow them to be at an absolute disadvantage. Fighting to make a comeback, even if our side has the upper hand in terms of combat effectiveness, if Occam has the ability to self-destruct instantly, it will be a big mistake for Dafa.
"There are so many things to choose from, skinning, cramping, iron fist, Ling Chi, beheading, wheel torture, or simply turn your mother into a corpse and throw her into Zhu Yan's blood," I smiled and walked forward calmly. He took a step forward and said, "I plan to kill you today, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet, so I'll trouble you to think of one yourself."
I used words to test the other party's warning line, and I secretly accumulated energy. The other party is an extremely cunning guy, and his inexplicable appearance here is also very surprising. According to experience, the tragic aura around me has never been on vacation from the beginning. , so it can be completely denied that today I was lucky enough to encounter a fallen apostle who was alone. So when facing a fallen apostle who is also a leader and has not revealed his true intentions until now, it is absolutely necessary to be cautious.
Sandora and the others have the same idea as me. They are all on guard, but no one takes action rashly. Even a master like Pandora knows that facing a Xiling leader of the same level, he must not do it because of his own side. If you have the numerical advantage, you can be confident and bold.
"Aha, it's such a dangerous atmosphere. It seems that I caused a lot of misunderstandings for the trouble I caused for you last time. The loyal Occam would like to apologize to Your Majesty," Facing a circle of leader-level apostles who were eyeing them eagerly, This middle-aged man who is used to talking and putting on airs and seems to be kind even had the time to lament his situation. Then he suddenly looked at us with a confident look on his face, "But you would really kill someone who is trying to revive our great empire." A loyal minister? My Majesty the Emperor!"
I was stunned immediately.
"Here, maybe you don't know where this place is yet," Occam didn't dare to act rashly due to the threat so close at hand. His stiff look seemed a bit ridiculous, but this did not affect the composure on his face. "Then let honest man Occam tell the leaders - this place is the cemetery after the collapse of the empire! This is the ancient temple where more than thirty emperors have fallen and all secrets have been sealed!"
It wasn't a loud sound, but after it fell, it was like thunder vibrating, roaring in the vast crystal hall.
I could feel the body of the blonde girl next to me stiffen for a moment.
"The Archives is the name of this place. It is a place that stores all the memories of the empire. It is the ultimate database. After the catastrophe, our history, culture, technology, life forms, racial patterns, and even every individual The characteristics of every hair of the ethnic group are preserved here. After the disaster broke out, everything was destroyed. From the depths of the soul, the empire began to collapse. All the apostles either fell into a deep sleep due to infection, or even if not After being infected, she became extremely weak (I thought of Sandora and her troops who were trapped on the edge of the planet and could not even start the time jump), so the mausoleum project was born. The apostle went ahead and compiled all the empire's information into files and sealed them in this library."
Occam tried to speak in a sincere tone while observing our reactions: "Your Majesty Sandora, please don't doubt my words. You can find complete records of these things from any crystal obelisk. Loyal Occam Cam assures you that today is the day when the empire recovers. That stupid woman can't stop this. There is a backup operating system in the core area of the Archives. I am about to crack it. Now as long as a confirmation command is given, the temple will Reappear, everything in the Document Library will be uploaded to the Creation Platform, and this compressed world will also expand again. The imperial legacy we saved at the last moment will come back to the world. Everything is not destroyed, but is temporarily suspended. Just for a moment..."
"You should pause," my sudden voice interrupted Occam's inspiring speech. Regardless of whether what this guy said was true or false, his words were too inflammatory to my ears, especially for those who As far as Shandora is concerned, maybe they cannot confuse the judgment of a Xiling Queen, but they are enough to make Shandora feel painful and contradictory, which is not enough, "Occam, you can change roles without hesitation! It seems that you are a fallen apostle, right? Now you are talking freely about your loyalty to the empire in front of two emperors. Do you think this is credible?"
"'Your Majesty the Emperor', maybe I should still call you His Majesty the Emperor, but in fact, in my personal opinion, you are not worthy of this title. You are just a human being, at least you were a human being before. You cannot understand Xi The thoughts of the spiritual apostle, as I said, this is the archives, this is the place where all the archives of the empire are kept, there is no doubt about it, we will not lie because of such boring little things, if you can If you understand the words on the obelisk behind me, you will know that what I said is completely false..."
...You're bullying me for being illiterate, right?
"What you said is true," Sandora suddenly spoke quietly, unable to hear the slightest disturbance in her heart, "But you also know that anyone who can read can understand the things on the obelisk, you alone The fallen apostle actually talks about reviving the empire, which is the most ridiculous thing in itself. If you want to use the secret you just learned to delay time, you have already delayed it to the limit."
Occam had a wry smile on his face. Apparently he didn't expect Sandora to straighten out her thoughts so quickly. His shocking deception only took effect for less than thirty seconds: "Okay, you don't trust me." Me, this is understandable. After all, I have been contaminated with the energy of the abyss, but you yourself... aren't you the same? Casting ourselves into the abyss does not mean that we forget our hometown...
You see, this is the Archives, and you already know its function, but what about the church? What about the folding world? You must not know anything about them yet, but I know their secrets. The so-called Holy Temple, you have already seen it, it is the Great Nebula! Don't look surprised, I know it's just a randomly assembled cloud of matter, but that's just because the temple went into hibernation!
When the Archives was built, the last thirty emperors of the empire destroyed their bodies and used their souls and bodies to build a mausoleum called the Holy Temple. During its sleep, this mausoleum was a gas cloud with a radius of three light years, but When it wakes up, the gas cloud will quickly turn into reality. Thirty ultimate glory starships will be formed in the core of the Great Nebula, and the remaining material of the Great Nebula will form the Platform of the Creator, and the things recorded in the archives will be recorded as never before. The powerful world laws are released and reversely manifested through the platform of the Creator, finally activating this folded world. You may not have noticed that this world hides countless levels, and they present a very abnormal density distribution. , all cause and effect are basically concentrated in the center, while all information is concentrated in the outer shell (I think of the information barrier). This is the result of the folding of the world. In this conceptually folded universe, the empire is actually hidden. The most extensive colony, once the Holy Church revives the things in the Document Library, this world will become the initial territory of the empire. What a perfect design! Are you still doubting loyal Occam's motives? I'm here to revive the empire! "
After saying this, which seemed to be a confession and a sign of loyalty, Occam wisely closed his mouth and waited for us to make a judgment. I don’t know why this guy who has caused us so much trouble seems so weak now. , but decided to let him dance around for a while: The expression on Sandora's face was uncertain. Perhaps as Occam said, I am not a complete Xiling apostle after all. On issues about the empire, I should look at Sandora. Dora's own words, if she chooses to believe Occam...
I had no choice but to kill this guy while she wasn't paying attention. Anyway, I always thought he was a very dangerous guy, and there was Sylvia who seemed to know the secrets of the archives. Killing him shouldn't be a big problem, right?
"Resuscitate the empire?" Sandora closed her eyes slightly, so that no one could see her thoughts. "Indeed, those old friends will make such a decision. As long as there is still a glimmer of hope, they will put the fire to the ground." Continuing, this is a racial brand that has been passed down from generation to generation since the ignorant period of Xiling, from the time when we first came into contact with the abyss and almost exterminated our race. In fact, as early as when I first learned from Arjun that the empire had collapsed, I I guessed that in some corner of the world, there must be seeds left by old friends that can make everything start again. But I didn’t expect that it is here, this library. What you said is 100% Eighty percent of them are correct, but the remaining 20 percent—"
At this point, Sandora suddenly opened her eyes, causing Occam, who had already shown a relaxed expression, to tighten up: "This is the most fatal point: as Arjun said, why should I believe you as a fallen apostle? Will he be the guy who implements this recovery plan?! You just know the secret of the archives! If the insider is the savior, then this savior is too cheap!"
"You are really too close to human beings," the middle-aged man in front of him had no expression on his face, but his tone seemed to be lamenting, "But the more advanced the apostle, the easier it is to be influenced by human nature... Then, if I tell Everyone, I designed this library, and I supervised the completion of the temple’s operating system from beginning to end!”
I don’t know how many times I will be shocked today. I have become accustomed to being an ordinary person, eating and waiting to die. Even if he is crowned king, he is just eating and waiting to die in the palace. A certain man with a handsome face is now experiencing epic events one after another. Yali Mountain is huge, you bastard! Do you have any explosive news that you can't tell at once?
This time, not only me, but also Sandora was stunned for a moment. Emotionally, none of us wanted to believe this man's words, but every word he said from the beginning to the present was consistent with the facts, and was dramatic or abbreviated. Isn’t the development of cheating the main theme of this book? I respect myself...
"You can check the information in the obelisk at will. These things are the original recorded versions. Your Majesty Sandora, you have the final authority to check all their footnotes. You should remember that this kind of information is based on the underlying Lagman foundation. The crystallized database on is conceptually something that cannot be tampered with. It only has one input opportunity. Please take a look. In the footnotes of each database, you can find my name, Occam Tordani. An! I also left a message: no matter the cost, even if I have to bear hatred and prejudice, I will fight to the death to revive the empire!"
The expression on the middle-aged man's face was extremely confident, and after Sandora quickly used her mental power to connect to the database, her expression immediately became weird.
"What he said is true. The name is there and the words are there."
"Please believe me, as the final executor of the mausoleum plan, I am still loyal to the empire, and reviving the empire is my highest goal." Occam's expression became solemn, "Perhaps I have been disturbed by the abyss and made myself feel Because of my biased behavior, I am willing to accept punishment for this - but that will have to wait until the empire recovers! Now is not the time for trial!"
"Actually, I'm a little curious. How many of your words come from the bottom of your heart? They're all truth, but people don't dare to believe them easily." I shook my head slowly. The highest level of lying is to use hundreds of words. Ninety-nine percent of the truth is used to cover up the one percent of lies, and Occam may be well aware of this. What happened today is full of bizarre twists and turns, and it takes a lot of energy for me to sort it out one by one. Shun, "Your status as a fallen apostle is a big problem, you should know this very well."
"This is actually easy to explain," the middle-aged man showed a wry smile and shrugged helplessly, "After a catastrophe, someone must be awake so that he can press the restart button one day in the future, but after a catastrophe, someone must be awake. Under those circumstances, waking up meant falling into madness. We were such a group of self-exiled people. In order to survive and have a chance to continue the mausoleum project, we voluntarily introduced the abyss energy into our bodies, and from then on we became An accomplice of evil, but all this is a stopgap measure! It is a personal sacrifice that must be made for the recovery of the empire! When I came to this archives, the final command deep in my memory was activated, and I understood what my mission was. That is to recreate the temple and bring the memories in the archives back to the real world!"
Occam spoke impassionedly, his expression showing no pretense at all. At this moment, a soft broadcast suddenly rang through the hall:
"Warning, the energy in the core area is about to be shut down, and the final backup energy group is being removed. All databases in the archives will be offline in fifteen minutes and will expire forever. The burial mechanism of the church will enter a fifteen-minute countdown before activation. Final warning, your This operation will cause the Empire Recovery Plan to be permanently destroyed, please confirm..."
"Damn...that stupid woman..." Occam growled angrily, and then looked at us eagerly, "Please believe me! I am saving the empire! I am the only hope! That paranoid woman is just She just wants to destroy this place, she has an undisclosed purpose for you! So..."
"Occam, whatever you say, everything is irreversible! You and I both know very well that the mausoleum plan failed as early as the establishment of this document library!"
At this moment, Sylvia's voice suddenly echoed through the hall.
