Chapter 283 Dark Prophecy
“Boss?!”
Amber blinked, and in front of her eyes was George’s slightly anxious face under the exoskeleton mask.
Behind him, Randall and other entourage were also looking at him worriedly.
The surrounding environment is a dark and lightless interior of the asteroid, and the lighting here is maintained by a large number of artificial light sources.
And next to him is still the huge hexadecahedron.
Wait, what just happened? Am I not on the battlefield?
Battlefield? No, there is no battlefield here.
Amber came back to his senses, and he remembered everything that had just happened.
I, Randall and George, came to the interior of the asteroid to explore the discovered Forerunner creation in front of me.
Everything went smoothly and normally, but just after he injected psychic energy into this thing, he was pulled into an illusion.
In this illusion, there is a city that is being attacked by a suspected 'Forerunner Fleet'.
The troops protecting the city seemed to be fighting these forerunners, but the strength gap between the two sides seemed a bit large.
After paying a huge sacrifice, only one battleship was destroyed.
But these are not the point. The point is the 'keywords' that Amber heard in the vision.
A joint attack force composed of the Elven Royal Guards, the Second Assault Group, and the Imperial Silencers?
Mulat and Louis, who were promoted to the rank of major general but were killed in the assault?
There is also the Roma Hogg who seems to be the commander-in-chief of the battle, and his last glance as if traveling through time and space.
Amber suddenly realized that she had just experienced something A dark, doomsday vision.
"What happened to me just now?" Amber asked, looking at the people in front of her.
Hearing Amber's question, George replied:
"We don't know either, you seemed to be standing unconscious, and there was no response no matter how we called you, so we had to rush up. "
"How long has this situation lasted?"
"It should have been several seconds. We rushed up to see you and didn't pay attention to the time."
Amber instantly remembered her previous experience on Rubion 5.
At that time, I also entered a certain situation of watching "Dark Future". It was obvious that it lasted for a long time, but in the eyes of others, it only lasted a few seconds.
"Lilith, did you notice anything abnormal just now?"
"Master, you just had the same situation as on Rubion 5. I couldn't sense you for several seconds. "
Lilith's concerned voice sounded in Amber's mind.
“I tried to call you just now, but Master, it was as if you didn’t hear me and didn’t respond at all.”
Lilith's words made Amber fall into silence.
The situation is now obvious. All the evidence points to Amber's two "distractions" to the mysterious "Forerunner Civilization".
If you want to use a method similar to 'foreseeing the future' to help him get out of trouble for the first time on Rubion 5.
Amber may also feel quite happy because she has another 'hang'.
But what just happened and the scene in the fantasy made him completely unhappy.
Obviously, in the illusion, the 'Forerunner Civilization' became the enemy. Under the attack of this powerful enemy, humans and elves even began to fight side by side.
Moreover, even the powerful Elf Royal Guards have merged with other troops to prepare for an assault. It is obvious that the situation has reached the most dangerous moment.
Perhaps all the Elf Royal Court has been wiped out, otherwise these Royal Court guards will not easily leave the objects they protect.
Coupled with the familiar names and familiar people in the illusion, it seemed to be telling Amber that ‘this is bound to happen’.
The last look Hogg looked at him made Amber feel a power that penetrated time. He felt that the wolf-headed man seemed to really 'see' him.
Is this really an illusion? Amber had doubts in her mind.
This is not because he likes to think too much, but because the information that players dig out in the game, and the tasks they have experienced, are basically all "numerous", and they are also full of "past" Future entanglement' is an element that sounds very awesome.
"Boss, do we want to withdraw first? Judging from the signs just now, this... creation of the 'Forerunner Civilization' seems to be Not so stable?"
Looking at the surrounding situation, George said.
Amber nodded in agreement and immediately prepared to lead the team out first.
But at this moment, the regular hexahedra, which had been silent and inactive, began to move again.
This time, its surface expanded rapidly, and at the same time, some crystals protruding from the internal structure began to emit green rays at the surrounding rock walls.
Under the irradiation of these rays, the surrounding rock walls were easily decomposed like foam, and the fragments and powders they turned into were also destroyed by a large number of machines emerging from the inside of the hexadecahedron. Devoured by insects.
Before anyone could react, the rock walls around the hexadecahedron were 'decomposed' at an extremely ridiculous speed.
When Amber led everyone back to the passage, the entire hexadecahedron was completely exposed. Its huge size makes everyone look as small as a bunch of ants in front of it.
“No matter what this thing is, let’s exit first before talking about shit?!”
Amber, who had reacted, was urging everyone to retreat first, but the next second there was a blue The 'chasing light' shone on him.
Then, a language that Amber had never heard sounded directly in his head.
It was the same style that intertwined the ancient and the advanced. Although Amber was 100% sure that he had never heard this language before, what was strange was that he found that he actually understood it.
"Equipment number 4396, has been reactivated and started to enter self-test"
"Communication and navigation have been completely damaged and the possibility of repair is 0%"
"The current task list is empty and has not been tested yet. Go to a higher level command and start executing Emergency Order No. 001 - Binding Device Administrators"
"A qualified administrator candidate has been found and the device binding process has begun."
At the same time, Lilith's voice also sounded in Amber's mind, and it sounded anxious like Amber had never heard before.
"Master! It has been detected that an unknown program is invading your brain! How is this possible?! How can digital signals affect your body?"
At this moment, Lilith clones everywhere stopped temporarily. operation.
This strong artificial intelligence concentrated all the computing power she had at the moment, converted digital signals into biological neural signals, and began to fight against this 'program' that invaded Amber's brain.
If what happens in the virtual space can be realized, we can see that Lilith is constantly building thick and high walls to resist the intrusion of this program.
But she soon discovered that this confrontation was in vain.
The program that was invading Amber's brain rushed into the depths of Amber's brain unimpeded, as if it had the highest level of authority.
Just when Lilith thought Amber's brain was going to be burned by this program, everything suddenly became calm again.
Amber only felt that there was an extra mark in the depths of his mind, and through this mark he found that he seemed to be able to control the huge regular hexahedra in front of him.
"User binding is completed, please rate this service 3, 2, 1"
"The user has not responded, and the praise has been automatically given"
"Damn, I didn't say anything."
Before Amber could react, the 'program' that had just invaded his brain quickly completed its self-evaluation.
Then he began to enter the 'self-deletion' process and completely disappeared from his mind in a short period of time.
If it weren't for the new imprint deep in her mind, Amber would have even doubted whether she had just experienced another hallucination.
At this time, Lilith was sitting on her knees in the virtual space in a daze, her eyes blank.
The situation just now made her know for the first time what "powerlessness" means.
Under the invasion of unknown programs, she, who has never been invincible and all-powerful in the virtual space, has no ability to block or even delay.
I can only watch helplessly as this unknown program invades my Master.
At a certain moment, Lilith even thought that she might lose Amber, but fortunately, the worst case did not happen in the end.
Despite this, Lilith’s ‘young mind’ still suffered a huge blow.
On the other side, the regular hexadecahedron, or this ‘growing large-scale mining and refining core’, stopped its activities after completing the binding of the administrator.
But Amber knows that as long as she has a thought now, this Forerunner's creation will immediately enter working mode.
"Lilith, don't worry, I'm fine~"
Feeling Lilith's mood at the moment, Amber comforted her.
“Master, Lilith is so useless, she couldn’t protect you just now.”
"No, no, no, Lilith, please don't do this. You have done a lot of things for me. If you are useless, then nothing in this world will be useful."
Seeing that this strong artificial intelligence still looked depressed, Amber continued to comfort:
"I really don’t blame you for what just happened. Well, I can only say that the opponent you faced was too high-level. Yeah, it’s actually quite normal if you can’t beat her now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lilith burst into tears and started rolling around in the virtual space.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Lilith is so useless.”
Seeing her like this, Amber didn't know what to say now, so she could only wait until it was safe before entering the virtual space to comfort her.
He raised his hand and stroked the surface of the 'Growable Large-scale Mining and Refining Core'. This huge hexadecahedron seemed to be alive, making a slight 'buzzing' sound in response to him.
After a moment, he turned around, looked at the shocked people around him, showed a complicated smile on his face and said:
"I have good news and bad news, what do you think? Which one should I listen to first? ”
