Chapter 646 The final direction of the clue
The reason why Chen Lun recognized this machine actually came from an accidental opportunity in his previous life.
That was a post I accidentally saw from a game forum while surfing the Internet one day. The poster claimed to be a senior executive of a well-known guild, and his relatives were members of the official development team of the game, so he specially shared a picture of "Game "Server" private photos to popularize knowledge among players.
The photo was met with skepticism by many at first.
After all, the identity of the poster could not be confirmed, and with the level of science and technology at the time, it was easy to use AI technology to create a photo like this out of thin air, let alone Ping a photo. It was difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.
However, after the poster continued to post a screenshot of his relative's "identity plate", such doubts gradually fell silent.
Those "little black guys" who spoke sweet words to the poster also became scared in an instant and disappeared.
Because that screenshot is the researcher ID card of the "Federal Scientific Research Center" and comes with the holy emblem of the "Azure Holy Cult".
No one dares to fake this thing.
The reversal of the incident was quite dramatic at that time, so Chen Lun was deeply impressed. He recognized the "big machine" projected in the shrine's firelight at a glance. It was the supercomputer of the Federal Scientific Research Center and the entire "Secret Age". Game server!
‘What is the connection between the Redemption Church in the outer continent and the Azure Holy Religion in the real world...’
Chen Lun guessed secretly.
In addition to the two churches believing in the same old "Blue Holy Flame", he believed that there was some unknown connection.
And this supercomputer is likely to act as some kind of hub or medium.
At this time, Chen Lun's sight was suddenly attracted by a small thing in the firelight projection——
It was a black chuck inserted into the groove of the supercomputer's main console. It looked ordinary, just like the standard data disks that can be seen everywhere in street digital stores.
But an intuition suddenly emerged in Chen Lun's heart.
It is the final point of the clue...
Even this is the last bookmark for the four seasons that symbolizes summer!
call!
In the shrine, the blue fire burned blazingly.
I don't know if it was because someone was approaching, but the flames suddenly underwent some strange changes.
I saw that every wisp of swaying and dancing flames actually reflected the projection of the data cable, and the top was connected to a plug with flashing red and green lights!
At first glance, the blue flame in the shrine looks like a "mechanical octopus" with teeth and claws, and dozens or hundreds of "data tentacles" extending wantonly!
Chen Lun was stunned by this scene.
A wisp of flame slowly snaked out from the shrine, and the projection of the data cable approached Neil's body.
Chen Lun thought for a moment, but did not stop him. He let the flame wrap around Neil's neck and reach behind his ears.
At the moment of contact, a brand was burned out behind Neil's ear, a long strip and a circular mark!
At this moment, Chen Lun realized something.
The data interfaces behind Neil's ears about the knights he met at Black Point when he was a boy...
It is from this flame in the shrine!
‘It turns out that the so-called “baptism” is a holy fire that combines the power of science and technology to instantly create a corresponding chip projection in the human brain. ’
Chen Lun was secretly surprised.
The Holy Fire can not only absorb power from other sources, but can also integrate black technology in distant reality... and finally appears through the flame in a way that is difficult for me to understand.
At this time, flames penetrated into the data interface imprinted behind Neil's ear.

【Game connecting...】
[Connection failed! 】
[After detection, you are already in the game! 】
【……】
【Data error...】
Chen Lun's surprise became more intense with the prompts on the panel.
Soon, the prompt sound came again——
【Data has been reset...】

Wow——
Through Neil's senses, Chen Lun suddenly noticed that the scene in front of him had changed. The originally dark underground chamber and shrine had all disappeared.
Instead, there was a gorgeous flashing lights!
The streets beneath your feet are made of smooth composite materials, and the projected lines of the sidewalk spread straight forward, flanked by high-ceiling streetlights full of technology.
A variety of colorful and streamlined suspension vehicles of different styles are flowing in the left-hand lane, passing through the lanes of light.
In the distance, there are many tall buildings, and huge holographic projections flash on the night sky and the surface of the buildings. Dazzling colors such as gold, cyan, pink and bright purple together form a bustling night city.
‘This is...the center of the Azure Federation, Brilliant City! ’
Chen Lun controlled Neil's body and stood on the street, looking around with surprise and a trace of nostalgia on his face.
He even saw a building not far away, with the logo of the Flash Eagle Group on it, and the logo of the "Yingling Pavilion" guild on the holographic projection.
‘I actually returned to reality… Is the so-called “game” a two-way street? ! Federation players come to the world of Yanita through the sleeping cabin, and local "NPCs" can actually go to the Federation through the fire of the shrine... Is that supercomputer the core hub? ! ’
Chen Lun couldn't help being stunned.
If this is the case, then for local NPCs, the players living in the Federation are not a group of "NPCs" that have no meaning...
‘No, that’s not right…’
Chen Lun quickly calmed down again.
He used his power of perception to radiate outwards, and immediately discovered something was wrong.
At this time, several passers-by were walking in front.
Chen Lun happened to be planning to do a test, so he controlled Neil's body to go forward and grabbed one of the men wearing a turtleneck jacket.
However, there was no reaction from the other party. "Neil"'s hand passed through the body of the passerby, who continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened, as if he could not see him at all.
‘This is just a projection... No, I am the projection! ’
Chen Lun confirmed this fact on the spot.
'Because the Fire of the Shrine is not a real server, the "natives" from the outer continent can only come here in the form of projections, and even the federal people cannot see them...'
[You triggered the main quest: Baptism! 】
Task description: You have passed the church's review and are qualified for baptism. Next, please follow the instructions and go to the corresponding location to receive the power of our Lord.
Mission goal: Arrive at the location "Federal Research Center" and download modules such as "General Swordsmanship", "Fighting Skills", "Equestrian" and "Archery".
Mission reward: "Knight" status recognized by the church.
Chen Lun looked at the prompts on the panel and was a little dazed for a moment.
‘This is not a tip for me, but for Neil… Although the fire of the shrine has absorbed the function of the supercomputer, it is quite rigid and mistook this body for the knight’s retinue who came to receive “baptism”. ’
He raised his head and immediately saw an illusory arrow flashing on the ground, seemingly guiding the direction forward.
Chen Lun secretly thought something interesting and followed the arrow forward.
He is quite familiar with Gorgeous City because he lived here in his previous life, so even without arrow guidance, he knew the way to the "Federal Research Center".
Along the way, bustling passers-by passed him by, but these people couldn't notice him at all.
Chen Lun is like a ghost wandering in the bustling city.
He seemed to see a historical picture at this moment——
The "natives" of the outer continent in the past, just like him now, came here through the fire of the shrine. Looking at this strange and magnificent city and the various technological creations they had never seen before, they were deeply shocked, and they immediately knelt down and bowed to the city. The Fire Gods sing and pray.
"Neal" lowered his eyes, took a deep breath and continued walking forward.
Not long after.
He came to the Federal Scientific Research Center.
The mechanical sentries and cybernetic security here were completely unaware.
Chen Lun walked in unimpeded, bypassed the halls and corridors, and went to the deepest research room.
As soon as you enter the closed bulletproof glass door, what comes into view is the huge machine standing in the center of the hall.
Dozens of researchers in white coats looked hurriedly walking back and forth in the hall. Four or five people gathered around the supercomputer, tapping various complicated keyboards and buttons on the console.
There were two female researchers standing behind them, holding translucent noteboards and recording something with their fingers.
Chen Lun looked around and silently came to the huge machine.
【Arrived at destination...】
[Module downloading...]
The supercomputer seems to be emitting invisible power, affecting "Neil".
Chen Lun remained silent, observing the changes in "Neal".
[Fourteen modules including "General Swordsmanship", "Fighting Skills", "Equestrian Skills", "Archery", "Polar Weapon Proficiency", "Plate Armor and Leather Armor Maintenance" have been downloaded! 】
[Completed the main mission: Baptism! 】
[Congratulations, you have become an official knight recognized by the church! 】
The panel prompt then popped up, and Chen Lun suddenly discovered that "Neal" had a lot of knowledge in his mind out of thin air. This body had mastered some skills inexplicably, as if it were the result of years of training.
Immediately, a powerful pulling force came from the other side.
Chen Lun found that the body gradually became transparent.
‘We will be forced to return to the outer continent...’
He secretly said.
Chen Lun's thoughts changed, and he took advantage of this last moment to suddenly reach out and touch the groove on the console.
A pitch-black chuck was quietly inserted there.
However, "Neal's" hand went through the chuck and couldn't touch it at all.
Although Chen Lun was disappointed, the result was also expected.
But the next second, Chen Lun felt a strong emotion from the black chuck...
go home!
It wants to go home!
I want to return to Chen Lun’s arms!
Chen Lun was shocked.
He instantly confirmed that this was the last Four Seasons bookmark!
The key puzzle piece that is missing to master the original sin of "No Return Home"!
It is the symbol of summer, and its name is——
Flowers! (End of chapter)
