Chapter 376 Cooperation across time
At this time
Xiaowan took out her ID card and swiped it on a device at the door.
However, the door that should have been opened was still closed.
Obviously, this door has been locked in a special way from the inside.
"Director Shad, you are in there, right?"
Xiaowan asked in a deep voice.
But there was no response from the other side of the door.
Seeing this, Xia En stepped forward and prepared to use violence to open the door.
But at this time, Xiaowan stopped him.
"The door to the central room has unique restrictions. Forcibly opening it may cause the control system to lock itself."
This design was originally designed to prevent foreign enemies from forcibly breaking in.
However, the designer obviously did not expect that there would be a hidden traitor among the supervisors of Area A.
At this time.
Shad in the room seemed to finally hear the movement outside the door.
He sneered: "Director Wan, you are finally here."
"However, you are already late. I have activated the self-locking program in the central room, and this is enough to resist the legendary strong man. "It's absolutely impossible for you to break in from outside the room."
"
"Now, as long as I crack the permissions of the control system, I will be able to open the passage to the restricted area of the research institute."
Shad's tone was full of pride: "By then. , whether it’s the bronze dragon or King Xin’s research results so far.”
"Everything will become ours!"
"But you can only watch this scene happen."
Bronze Dragon.
Research results.
Hearing these words, Xia En’s mind whirled.
He suddenly noticed something strange that he had ignored before.
If this Director Shad was also a member of the [Truth Society] in later generations, then he would never have said such a thing.
Because, everything inside [Great Flame] is something that has disappeared in the past.
That bronze dragon is just an afterimage that exists in the past.
The people of the [Truth Society] cannot bring it into reality no matter how hard they try.
The fact that Shad would say this means that he is actually part of this memory scene.
Rather than members of the [Truth Society] who infiltrated this place.
However, he mentioned the purpose of seizing research results, and also reached cooperation with later members of the [Truth Society].
Then, his identity is actually very clear -
This Director Shad is a member of the [Truth Society] in history!
In this way, it exactly corresponds to Xia En's previous speculation.
This invasion of the research institute was indeed an event that occurred in real history.
And his instigator is none other than the [Truth Society] of this era!
In other words, they are the subordinates of the [Omniscient Sage].
After all, in this era, the name [Truth Society] may not even have been born yet.
It’s not difficult to know from Shad’s mouth.
The purpose of their coming here is the research results of King Xin and the bronze dragon sleeping underground.
The [Truth Society] of later generations used these past colleagues to put their consciousness into the [Great Flame], thus achieving an unprecedented situation——
< br>Members of the [Truth Society] in the past and future cooperate with each other to achieve their respective goals.
This kind of thing sounds a bit outrageous even to Xia En.
I have to say.
The members of [Truth Society] are indeed a group of geniuses.
However, there is always a thin line between genius and madness.
Moreover, the destructive power that a genius without moral restraint can cause is far greater than that of a mediocre person.
However, there is one more thing that Xia En didn't want to understand.
This research institute was clearly built through the cooperation between King Xin and the [Truth Society].
Theoretically.
[The Truth Society] should be able to know the research results of the institute, so why go to such trouble to rob them?
At this time, Xiaowan also had similar doubts.
She questioned.
"Director Shad, why did you do this?"
"For such a long time, King Salary should have treated you well, right? Why did you betray him?"
In this regard, Sha De Que just sneered.
“If he is willing to hand over the final research results to us honestly, then of course we don’t need to start this rebellion.”
“But...the real treacherous person is The salary king in your mouth! ”
"It was clearly agreed that the results of the institute would be shared, but in the end he took precautions against us."
"He even replaced the researchers of the core project with his own confidants, but I was transferred Come to this living area and be the so-called supervisor."
"And now, we are just getting back what belongs to us."
After hearing this, Xiao Wan. Can't help but look surprised.
“How could...”
"There must be some misunderstanding in this!"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter anymore."
Shad sneered. "Just wait outside for everything to settle."
Hearing this, Xia En couldn't help but frown.
Honestly.
He didn't particularly care about whether Shad could take away the so-called research results.
After all.
Even Shad himself is just an afterimage created by the memory of [Great Flame].
What if the [Truth Society] in this memory successfully obtained the research results?
Maybe something like this has happened in real history.
What really made Xia En wary.
What is the purpose of these members of the [Truth Society] who have infiltrated into the [Great Flame]?
Is it related to the research results mentioned by Shad?
One more thing.
Where is the [Great Flame] node that Xia En and others are looking for located in this underground research institute?
Suddenly, Xia En suddenly remembered the restricted area of the research institute mentioned by Shad.
Maybe the answers he wants to pursue are all there.
However, even if Xia En wanted to go to the restricted area of the research institute, he could not just watch the members of the [Truth Society] get there first.
You must take the initiative in the whole matter into your own hands.
But now.
The gate did seem to be blocking them.
At this time, the captured man on the side also taunted.
"Captain Shane, stop resisting in vain."
"You can't stop us."
"Really?"
< br>
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded.
An elegant old woman wearing a black gauze skirt appeared in the corridor at some point.
The moment I saw him.
The members of the [Truth Society] who had previously shown disdain suddenly changed their expressions.
A flash of fear flashed deep in his eyes. So much so that his voice trembled a little.
"Mrs. Jingjing..."
The visitor is naturally Jane, whom Xia En is familiar with.
And Carles, who was made of machinery and wore brass armor, was behind Jane.
Red light flashed under her nails, and white steam released from the joints.
The appearance of such a strange pair of combinations clearly creates a sense of oppression in this underground passage.
Xiao Wan on the side couldn't help but change her face slightly.
In response, Xia En's face showed a hint of joy.
"Jane, Carles, are you here?" Apparently, after a rebellion occurred within the institute.
Jian and Carles did not stay there stupidly, but took advantage of the chaos and came to Xia En and the others with the help of their perception of the [Thread of Destiny].
"Captain Xia En.
After nodding gracefully to Xia En, Jane looked at the man who just named her identity code, with a little surprise in her eyes.
"You He actually recognized me. "
"This is not uncommon among the members of the new generation [Truth Society]. ”
Compared with when facing Xia En, the attitude of the captured man was obviously much more humble.
This humility comes from the fear of Jane's past deeds.
He lowered his head and said: "I have been lucky enough to read a few of your works, madam."
"I was greatly shocked by the ideas and viewpoints in them. I didn't expect to see you here. ”
“No need to pay any compliments. ”
The latest chapter of this novel was first published in 6@9书#, please go to Liujiu Bookstore to read it!
Jian said calmly: "My articles are considered deviant within the [Truth Society], and not many people are interested."
"Compared to this..."
Said , Jane looked at the closed metal door on the side.
"Captain Shane, do you want to open this door?"
Shane nodded: "Yes."
"Then leave it to me."
After saying that, Jane took out a prism-like instrument.
The slender fingertips tapped on it quickly, as if inputting some command.
Soon.
Like a waterfall of codes and numbers, they washed past the prism.
Finally, Jane gave it another gentle tap.
There was a "beep" sound.
"Dear administrator, please come in."
With the prompt sound, the sophisticated mechanical door opened.
The scene inside the central control room was exposed to everyone.
Supervisor Shad, who looks like a skinny monkey, was working on a crack in front of the operating table, with nervous excitement on his face.
But this time.
The door to the room suddenly opened, causing his body to freeze.
A look of disbelief immediately appeared on Shad's face.
“How is it possible?”
"This door has obviously implemented a self-locking program. How did you open it?"
Jian's expression was very reasonable.
“Since it is a program, there will be loopholes that can be cracked.”
“Furthermore, it seems that the programs of the old era are not much more advanced than the new era.”
< br>Sometimes, the simpler and older the mechanism, the more reliable it is.
For Jane, this kind of program-controlled door is full of loopholes.
But if it was really just an ordinary iron door, Xia En would have used violence to break into it.
At this time.
Xia En didn’t care what Shad’s reaction was, he flashed and came directly in front of him.
Shad was just a research member, and his combat power was very weak. Naturally, he was subdued by Shane without any resistance.
Then, Jane looked at the console in front of her.
I have to say.
The console itself has the style of the [Truth Society].
The huge screen, silver-gray desktop and metallic buttons give people the feeling of being on a science fiction film set.
At this time.
The cracking progress on the screen has reached 90%, which shows that Xia En and others arrived in time.
If we had come a little later, I am afraid that just as Shad said, members of the [Truth Society] would be the first to break into the restricted area of the institute.
After stopping the cracking progress, Jane turned around and asked.
“Captain Xia En, what should we do now?”
Hearing this, Xia En first looked at Xiaowan who was not far away.
At this time, Xiaowan obviously had not recovered from the series of changes.
And because of the special appearance of Jane and Carles, as well as the strange nouns mentioned in their mouths.
The girl's look was obviously a bit wary and uneasy.
Fortunately, An Bing was by his side, which allowed her to relax a little.
“Don’t be afraid, Xiaowan.”
"They are my companions."
An Bing said softly: "As for why we are here, the reasons behind it are too complicated and cannot be explained for a while."
"But one thing you can be sure of, I I am always on your side."
"Now, I hope you can help us go to the so-called forbidden area of the research institute."
"There is something we must get. ”
Xiaowan was not an indecisive person, so she nodded quickly after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, I understand."
"But before that, I want to block the exit of Area A. Please wait for a moment."
In During the communication between An Bing and Xiaowan.
Xia En looked at the three [Truth Society] members who were captured not far away.
"Captain Xia En, what are you going to do with them?"
Jian Fa asked.
"Ms. Jane, actually they..."
Xia Enyan briefly and comprehensively explained to the prosecutor the situation of these [Truth Society] members, as well as his speculations.
After listening, a little surprise appeared on Jane's usually calm face.
"Projection of consciousness and thinking?"
"I didn't expect that the [Truth Society]'s research in this field has reached such a point."
Immediately, Jane couldn't help but frown, analyzed.
“Since this rebellion was originally started by the [Truth Society] in history, the number of people they infiltrated would probably be extremely exaggerated.”
“Perhaps there are already people from other places. area to the so-called restricted area ”
Each of the three areas of ABC has its own central control room.
Obviously, there is more than one way to the restricted area.
Xia En also realized this possibility, his expression was a little solemn, and he felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
Soon.
Jian also asked the same question as him.
"We came to the underground research institute to eliminate the node of [Great Flame], so what is the purpose of [Truth Society]?"
Jian looked at the captured man, with a look of thought on his face. color.
The man lowered his head, but still refused to answer the question.
Furthermore, because they are just consciousness projections, ordinary torture is obviously ineffective against them.
Jian murmured.
"However, even if they are projections of thinking, there must be some connection between them and the soul of the original body."
"It is like the [Thread of Fate] will be equally entangled in their souls, It won't change because of the original body and the clone."
"...Just like the [Thread of Destiny]?"
Hearing this, Xia En suddenly woke up.
Yes, even if it is just a projection of consciousness, there must be a connection with their souls.
It's like Xia En's [Projection Body] is also a part of him.
Just find that connection.
It can fundamentally cause harm to their souls.
It just so happens that Xia En has the [Peeping Eye] that can see through this connection.
Thinking of this, Xia En did not hesitate, and looked at the man with a faint light in his eyes.
