Bai Huo showed great interest in Doudou, but Hao Ren didn't have time to explain to her in detail how a fish had been empowered into a pure-blood demon fish by the Origin Hallows, because he had already been led by Bai Huo to the vicinity of one of the largest rifts.At the top of this large palace closest to the Spiritual Bell Tower, there is an open half-moon platform, which is the place where the Demon Legion and the Elder Order have repeatedly fought over and over again, and the powerful evil and magical forces have left many indelible traces on this platform, some distorted energy distortions that seem to be like spirit creatures roaming around the platform, and the witchers who are responsible for cleaning up the battlefield have set up huge capture devices at the edge of the platform to eliminate these aberrations.Hao Ren saw a huge lilac, knife-like crack lying across the platform, which was the "strange phenomenon" in the mouth of the white fire."
This thing really doesn't look like an ordinary spatial rift......
Hao Ren landed on the platform, and after confirming that the environment was safe, he observed the rift closely.The fissure was about thirty meters long and five meters wide at its widest point, and the shape of the main body of the fissure seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade, and the edges of the fissure extended out many irregular cracks, a lilac floating light surging within the fissure, sometimes substantial, sometimes illusory, making it impossible to determine whether they really existed or just phantoms, and these rays also prevented any snooping into the rift.Hao Ren took out an elven thin sword from his pocket and tried to stab it into the light purple light curtain, only to find that the blade had pierced directly through - but did not enter a so-called alien space, he bent down and found that the tip of the thin sword emerged from the back of the rift.What seems to be a "spatial rift" is actually just a layer of light and shadow effects?"
Just a shadow?"
Lily crouched down and looked at the blade that came out of the other side of the rift, "It doesn't lead anywhere." ”"No, you take a closer look," Bai Huo pointed at Hao Ren to observe the tip of the thin sword, "the length of the blade is a little shorter, and it is a little crooked to the side.This shows that there is actually something inside this purple crack, and there should be a folded space inside, and there is a certain skew angle with the real space. ”Hao Ren took a closer look and found that this was indeed the case, he was using a short sword from the Elim elf, the blade length was about fifty centimeters, but when he submerged the handle of the thin sword into the purple crack, the blade that emerged from the other end was only forty centimeters long, and some of the blades were obviously located in another space.Lily rolled her eyes and thought about it, thinking about it: "It's not simple, just throw a small detector in, if you are afraid of losing it, tie it with a rope, as long as the size of the camera is smaller than this folding space, you can see the situation inside." ”Not to mention, this husky usually looks dull and dumb, but in fact, there are a lot of ghost ideas, and most of the time her ideas are good."
It's already tried," White Fire shook his head, "and the conclusion is that any act of observing the inside of the crack will cause it to shift its position, and that this transfer is instantaneous.Originally, the location of this crack was run here.We were worried that a few more attempts like this would cause the breach to move to an even more unpredictable location, so we stopped testing for the time being. ”"Can you still run?"
Hao Ren was suddenly surprised, "Heh......
It doesn't sound like an ordinary spatial rift. ”"Is there any other nature of this thing?"
Vivien asked curiously.Bai Huo nodded: "There are many strange properties, such as it has been continuously releasing trace amounts of radiation outward, it is not affected by any external energy, its size will change over time, it will expand by ten percent every two hours, and it will change back in the next two hours."
But none of these properties seem to me to be too important to explain their essence. ”Hao Ren snorted, took out the data terminal and asked it to detect this strange crack, and asked casually, "How did these things appear?"
Were there any eyewitnesses at the time?
What are the notable phenomena before and after the occurrence?
”"Suddenly appeared, without warning," White Fire replied, "There were two witchers who happened to witness the moment the rift appeared, but they only saw this thing appear out of nowhere, and there was no useful information.So far, there have been dozens of such fissures around the Spiritual Clock Tower, all of which are of different shapes and sizes, and they don't cause any problems except for their sudden appearance - these things are like shadows, simply floating in the air. ”Hao Ren smacked his lips: "To be honest, you should have notified me earlier if such a strange thing happened, and you also know that I am investigating this matter." ”Bai Huo spread his hands: "It may seem strange to put this kind of thing 'outside', but in Colpers......
All kinds of anomalies in this ancient ruins are commonplace, especially the weird things in time and space, almost everywhere, and we are all numb. ”As she spoke, she smiled awkwardly again: "And so many energy nodes are suspended in the war, coupled with the free magic energy on the battlefield, these are all factors that can easily cause spatial tearing, so even my mentor didn't pay attention to the situation of these rifts at first." ”Hao Ren was stunned, and finally could only sigh: "You are so broad-hearted......"
These guys are completely not afraid of the dead after staying on the battlefield for a long time, and they are not afraid of ghosts after watching too much - their ancestors have lived in a space-unstable Colpers for generations, and now they see a space-time crack suddenly popping up at home, and things like that don't even take it seriously!
At this time, the data terminal had already circled the "spatial rift" several times, and it suddenly flew in front of Bai Huo: "Tell the location of all the other rifts to the machine, and the machine will detect them one by one." ”Hao Ren and Bai Huo said in unison: "What did you find?"
”"It's true that this is a spatial rift, but it's not naturally formed at all," the data terminal said quickly, "There are very complex encryption traces, and the machine thinks that it needs to sort out the rules of other spatial rifts before it can crack their encryption algorithms." ”Hao Ren was stunned when he heard it: "Encryption?!"
You mean it's man-made?
”Without waiting for the terminal to answer, he suddenly realized what this meant: these "cracks" were probably really what the Goddess of Creation had left in Colpers!
At first, he thought the same as Bai Huo, thinking that it was the previous fierce battle that destroyed the balance of the Colpers energy node group, coupled with the catalysis of demonic energy, that caused so many distorted rifts to appear in this unstable space, but now the discovery of the data terminal points to a new conjecture: maybe these "rifts" have existed for a long time, and they are specially created by the Goddess of Creation, but they have been hidden by some mechanism.Perhaps the previous war touched some preset program in the past that caused these cracks to surface.Hao Ren's thoughts were all instantaneous, and soon he calmed down and turned his head to look at Bai Huo: "You said there are dozens of such rifts?"
”"It's just a conservative estimate," Bai Huo replied immediately, "We've found dozens of cracks, but there are still some badly damaged palaces that haven't been cleaned up yet, and some places with too high a concentration of magic energy are still inaccessible to people - I'm afraid there are cracks in those places too." ”Hao Ren nodded, waved his hand to open the carry-on space, and a large group of self-discipline machines that flashed silver light and waved tentacles flew out, and these self-discipline machines flew around pushing and shoving, waiting for Hao Ren's orders at any time."
It's too slow to inspect one by one, Terminal, and I'll hand over control of these autonomic machines to you, and you command them to inspect the rifts elsewhere.White Fire, please gather some men and take these robots to find the rifts you have discovered. ”Everyone had no opinion on Hao Ren's arrangement, Bai Huo raised his hand and fired a signal flare into the sky above the temple, and after the bright silver-white flame flashed, dozens of elite demon hunters dressed in black appeared on the platform silently."
Each of you brings one of these......
Forehead......
Machine tentacle monsters, go near those crooked rifts," Bai Huo commanded these senior investigators under his command, "Lockhan and Donna, you two go and gather the special agents of the Twin Towers Temple, let them check the area that was cleared yesterday, if it's right, the concentration of magic energy over there should have dropped, send someone in to see if there is also a rift, and if there is, come back and report immediately."
In addition......
"Bai Huo quickly issued one order after another, and it was obvious that she was still a little rusty when issuing orders, not as experienced as her mentor, but she still showed good scheduling ability and momentum.In time, it is clear that she will grow into a good witcher no less than Hasselblad.However, Hao Ren still had some opinions: "What, these are not mechanical tentacle monsters......
They are called autonomic machines. ”White Fire: "......"
