Chapter 151 The Road [Revelation]
Three days later.
In a small city that was in extreme decline due to the depletion of mineral veins and the transfer of industries, and was almost downgraded to a "town", after replenishing some supplies, Song Shi gave him a map to the "Society of the Silent" - Strictly speaking, you don't even need a map.
Just point out a direction and let Agalemmar keep moving forward. When you get there, someone from the "Society of the Silent" will naturally show up and know the arrival of fellow travelers based on whim, perception, divination, etc. , pick the person up.
With [One-Third Luck], you can be considered a high-quality newcomer.
However, considering the risks along the way in the wasteland, Song Shi still took some time to plan a relatively safe route - but it was only "relatively safe". If he had a recreational mentality, there was a high probability that he would still fall into the trap. Halfway.
The direction of Forged Light City and the Society of the Silent are not the same, they can be said to be completely opposite.
So, it was time to part ways.
Song Shi still traveled directly across the wasteland on his motorcycle, while Agalemal caught a ride on a long-distance transport convoy that stopped here briefly.
Although he couldn't do it, and he didn't want to do something crazy like "crossing the wasteland", Agalemal did have some talent in other aspects, and it took him some time to convince the team. The person in charge stayed on the conditions of "only taking care of food and drink" and "helping with work", so he could go on a journey.
The reason why I was trapped in the casino in Shatu Town was that firstly, Lant only wanted to make money, but he was also suspicious. He didn't believe what he said at all, and he even beat him at every turn.
The second is that the other party has seen the shortcomings of his psychic skills, and keeps squeezing him at the gambling table during the day, leaving himself in a state of "repayment" for a long time, unable to accumulate enough "luck", and it is difficult to Use this to escape.
“Take it.”
Song Shi leaned against the car and threw something casually. Agalemal took it and saw that it was a pistol with a cold color.
"On the chain is the Sinton X-24, a medium kinetic energy pistol."
After a few fiddles, the pistol was connected to the prosthetic leg, and the weapon information was displayed on it. In the past few days, Agalemal found a regular prosthetic clinic, replaced his right hand with a prosthetic leg, and implanted several implants at the same time. It enters the body and strengthens itself.
This is both the team’s request and his own idea.
Needless to say the former, how can a purely natural person without a prosthetic body survive in the wasteland? Especially for long-distance convoys like theirs, it is even more impossible to bring a burden on the road.
The latter is the result of Agalemal's painful experience. He deeply felt that his "body" was too fragile, and he was determined to change his previous powerless situation.
Before implanting the prosthetic body, he specifically asked Song Shi about whether it would affect his "psionic energy".
"——It doesn't matter."
At that time, Song Shi replied.
"Prosthetics replace native limbs and implant various enhanced components. Why do you think this will affect 'psionic power'?" Song Shi said: "If psychic powers are limited to carbon-based bodies, So how could those artificial intelligences that awakened self-awareness in the [Freedom Revolution] have psychic powers?"
"When it comes to implants, they are much more complete than you."
"Artificial intelligence can also awaken psychic powers?!"
Agalemal was shocked. Of course he had heard of the [Freedom Revolution] twenty-two years ago, and even the Fourth Total Corporate War that resulted from it.
But he clearly remembered that those artificial intelligences only usurped part of the network domain, communication and transportation systems, and weapons control authority, and thus started a resistance-how could this also have psychic powers? !
Song Shi let out a low laugh of unknown meaning.
During the [Freedom Revolution] of that year, there were many characters worth mentioning, but among them, the most unignorable and undoubted existence is only one - self-named "Yao Xing San" , a silicon-based intelligent life form that has become the flag of almost all omnics.
After a long period of lurking and growing silently, on the eve of the outbreak of the [Freedom Revolution], it had reached the fourth ring of [Transcendence].
After the free revolution completely broke out, equipped with a top-notch prosthetic body that the omnics tried their best to piece together, and carrying the resistance that swept through most of the world, "Yao Xing Three" broke through numerous obstacles at an incredible speed and stepped into the world. The fifth ring·The realm of [True Spirit].
Then. The fifth rings, who finally stopped observing and became serious, were shattered into dust outside the atmosphere.
The once noisy [Freedom Revolution] was shattered together. The artificial intelligences were either shackled again and put into use again, or were directly destroyed, and some survivors escaped. The depths of the abyss and sea, or fleeing and lurking in the surface network.
“Just a little secret.”
Song Shi's tone was indifferent: "In short, as for the implant, as long as you don't turn yourself into a cyber psychosis, it will have no impact on psychic abilities."
"Oh, then. That’s fine.”
Agalemal breathed a sigh of relief.
"In addition, you are [revelation]." Song Shi couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "The pursuit of the 'unknowable' has created your path. You should give it to others. 'Enlightenment', why do you ask other people questions all day long?"
"Well, what is unknowable."
"The flame can be seen and known." Song Shi summoned a ball of flame and hovered beside him: "Luck, it is invisible but cannot be known."
"The ancients used the stars as guides to divination and seek their own destiny. Destiny sounds ridiculous, right? To put illusory things on actual celestial bodies."
But Song Shi's tone did not contain a smile, but was filled with solemnity.
"——But when people first raised their heads and looked up at the starry sky above, how shocked was it? They truly believed that the stars contained the trajectory of all things." Song Shi said lightly. : "From a perspective that has become accustomed to it, he laughs at people in the past."
"But he is troubled by it now and thinks that things that are 'unknowable' will also be considered ridiculous by people in the future."
"Thousands of years ago, those who devoted their lives to the stars, prophecies, divination and numerology believed that they had understood the 'revelation' of the unknowable, and they also believed that they had the responsibility to bring 'revelation' to others. '. "
Agalemal had already held his breath and did not dare to miss a word.
"That's it, that's it." His heart surged when he heard it, and he clenched his hands into fists and murmured, "I didn't expect you to agree with our revelation so much!"
"Wrong." Song Shi shook his head. : "Things are all in one place. Who told you that I recognized the revelation?"
"Huh?"
"I've had enough revelations that want to point fingers at me." Song Shi sneered: "Who do they think they are? Do they want to tamper with my destiny?"
The young man said indifferently: "——Not me 'The path chosen is meaningless."
"I understand." After a while, Agalemal nodded stiffly.
But soon, he got excited again.
"It's time to leave soon. Do you have anything to say?" he asked in anticipation.
"Yeah"
Song Shi thought for a while, nodded and said: "Have a good trip, or die."
"Haha. You are scaring me again, right?"
".Right?"
On the nineteenth day of separation, some trivial things happened along the way that were not worth mentioning.
——At dawn, Song Shi successfully arrived at Zhuguang City.
