Hao Ren was dumbfounded by his discovery: "Your city is a spaceship?!"
”Shakira and Soma looked inexplicable at the same time, and the latter was stunned for a moment before speaking: "Huh?
”"Don't you know the fabric of your city?"
Hao Ren was very surprised by the reaction of the two krakens, and he pointed to the nameplates on the pipes next to him, "Look at this, Nasaton - this is obviously how the ship is named.One of the facilities we just passed by was called the Resonant Wheel, and its simple operating instructions indicated that it was something that 'counteracted water pressure fluctuations during acceleration'.And then there's this thin tube on your left, which the sign just says leads to the engine section - where does a city get its engine?
Only vehicles have this thing. ”Shakira was stunned for a long time, and suddenly grabbed Hao Ren's arm in shock: "Do you know the Kraken text?"
Do you know what is written on these things?
Where did you learn this?!
”Hao Ren and the others looked at each other, and Yizax couldn't help but widen his eyes: "What does this mean?"
Do you not know your own words?
”Shakira shook her head, "No one knows what these signs in the city mean, we used to use this script, but for some reason they are now lost.The Krakens who maintain the city only know a rough idea of how some of the key equipment should be operated, and the Queen and some scholars are said to be able to make out some of the ancient scripts, but they don't know much. ”This situation was beyond everyone's expectations, and Hao Ren felt incredible: "There is such a thing......
Then you haven't cracked your original text for more than 10,000 years?
”"I've cracked some of them, but the grammar of these ancient characters is very special, and it's very difficult to decipher, especially some professional terms used in remote places, which can't be deciphered at all," Shakira explained with a little embarrassment, "The words we use now are deformed and recreated according to the structure of these ancient characters, and the results of thousands of years ago have little to do with these symbols in meaning other than the glyphs, but they are not bad to use- Nowadays, only the most specialized scholars continue to study these ubiquitous symbols in the city, and ordinary Krakens are no longer interested in them. ”"Amnesiac symptoms after coming to Earth," Vivien tugged at Hao Ren's sleeve and whispered in a low voice, "Other aliens have similar phenomena. ”Yes, this is exactly the strange situation that all the aliens on Earth, including the witchers, have experienced, who have been subjected to a reshuffle-like memory purge after coming to Earth from the dream plane, not only completely forgetting the things about the dream plane, but also having some strange innate memories, such as a sense of hostility towards other aliens.And this kind of memory purge seems to be irregular: some races still remember the Leta rune, some still remember their own words, some still remember some production technology to some extent, and some races are said to have degenerated into primitive animals in the age of mythology.Each race has been purged differently, and what the Krakens have forgotten is undoubtedly their writings and all the information about the city.As for what memories or racial instincts they have left, it's hard to say.No wonder they didn't even know how the city was built: it had existed for as long as every Kraken could remember, Nasaton had operated in the deep sea as if it were the laws of nature, and the Krakens thrived here following some vague instincts, groping for the use of technological equipment that they had theoretically made themselves, but otherwise they knew nothing about their home.It's hard for outsiders to imagine what kind of way of life this is, but it's clear that they're used to it."
Compared to other outliers......
The Krakens are indeed the most surprising group," Hao Ren looked at this incredible city in amazement, after knowing that it was a spaceship, many doubts about the city were instantly solved, including its strange fully enclosed structure and architectural arrangement, "You actually landed on this planet with a complete space fortress?"
You also know how to operate the equipment......
Don't know what the instructions on these devices mean?
It's inconceivable that you're almost challenging the cognitive laws of the intelligent race. ”Shakira had a strange expression: "I don't know if you mean a compliment or something else. ”"At least there is no malice," Hao Ren quickly waved his hand, "I have seen a lot of aliens, and you are the most incredible group.It's clear that you were high-tech back then......
Or maybe high magic has made a big difference, and you're much better than the other aliens who have landed on the ground. ”Hasselblad watched all this silently, his expression unchanged, but the twinkle in his eyes still made it clear that the old witcher was not as calm as he appeared.He patted the pipe next to him: "That is, Nasaton is a spaceship from an alien planet?"
The Kraken flew here from another planet?
”Hao Ren shrugged: "Farther than other planets......
But you're not wrong to understand it that way. ”Bai Huo finally couldn't hold back: "What about us?"
”"Oh, it looks like you can finally believe what I said," Hao Ren laughed happily, "I said that all the alien races except wizards and witches are not native to Earth, and you come from almost all corners of the universe - but now you are crowded on Earth like headless flies and fighting in a chaotic manner."
Looking at this ship, you still think that the hunting instinct of the witcher is a natural phenomenon that is taken for granted?
You don't even have to come from the same planet as the other aliens, where does the hostility come from?
”Hasselblad groaned silently, while Tutain touched the metal groove beside him, "Incredible. ”"After the Siren text and the problem of the other world, how far is this from the palace area?"
Izax abruptly interrupted the conversation.Shakira pointed ahead, "Follow this pipe groove to the end, turn left and you will enter a dark passage, which can lead directly to a building next to the palace area.However, it will take a bit of effort to enter the palace, and there must be guards there. ”Nangong May diverted his attention from the nearby facilities: "Go ahead, time waits for no one." ”Led by Shakira and Soma, everyone swam quickly in the direction of the dark passage, and when they approached the corner of the pipe trough, Lily suddenly snorted: "Wait a minute, there's someone up there!"
”The group hurriedly swam through the main pipeline.A dozen krakens armed with tridents and grayish-white eyes escorted dozens of their compatriots trapped in the blisters, all of whom were in mermaid form and looked rather weak.A kraken soldier seemed to sense something, and glanced down in the direction of the pipe trough, and Soma quickly strengthened his control over the flow of water, completely blocking everyone's breath.After a few moments, the Kraken soldier followed the group out of the place, and the group breathed a sigh of relief.Lily muttered, "I can beat her ten by myself!"
”"But there are at least 100,000 Siren soldiers in the city who are controlled by the Brain Monster, and there is also a powerful Siren Queen," Hao Ren patted Lily on the back of the head, "Stop muttering, let's go." ”The team moved towards the dark passage again, and Vivien whispered to the team she had just encountered: "Those kraken's eyes haven't completely changed color, which means that their minds are relatively intact, this should be the puppet responsible for patrolling the city, once they meet, it will be bad." ”"They probably escorted those ordinary krakens to extract energy, or sent them to forced brainwashing," Nangong Sanba's face was gloomy, "It is estimated that there will be more sentinels in the future, so there will be no safer route?"
”Shakira shook her head: "That secret passage is the only possible breakthrough, there are sentry posts and even sensors everywhere else. ”The group continued to move forward, and encountered two more groups of patrolling soldiers on the way, but because Shakira, who was particularly familiar with the place, and Soma, who was good at blocking the breath, led the way, they finally passed without danger.They found the tunnel that led to the palace area: it was under a metal ramp, wider than expected, and several small pipes ran into it.There is a nameplate on its entrance that reads "Seventh Resonance Chamber Access Tunnel".Hao Ren swam into the maintenance passage after Shakira, but after advancing a long distance, Soma suddenly stopped everyone with his tail: "Wait a minute!
There are sentinels ahead!
