The world enters the age of myth

The special rifle team still held their rifles and looked nervous.

The little devil Doro was also looking at the big frozen box with a focused look on his face, muttering something in his mouth.

The low whisper sounded in my mind again, the voice conveyed by the little devil.

Lu Yiming's expression changed and he asked, "You mean, it's not completely dead yet?"

It grinned and nodded cautiously.

In its field of vision, the soul flame deep in the core of the unknown creature is still beating, trying to break free from this icy force.

But the power of freezing is too strong, and I can't break free at all.

Ultra-low temperatures close to absolute zero kill almost all biological tissues. Even super alloys become brittle at ultra-low temperatures, let alone normal biological tissues.

Yanghe is a world dominated by physical rules. Without the body, pure information cannot survive without the help of media.

Therefore, this soul that has just been born with self-awareness is already on the verge of death before it can develop its ambitions.

"It's...interesting." Deep down in the little devil's heart, he was quite gloating. It had no concept of sympathy, it was just amused by the death of a more powerful species.

Five minutes later, the soul fire became extremely dim and shrunk into a small crystal core, still lingering on. It seems that this crystal core should be able to survive for a long time, and it is not so easy to kill.

Doro's Adam's apple twitched. It would be great if he could swallow this crystal core. It would be a great tonic for it. Maybe it could allow his body to evolve and produce a real qualitative change. .

However, with Doro's years of wisdom, he easily suppressed this impulse.

Temptation, temptation, temptation has killed many species stronger than itself.

It has seen too many temptations in the abyss, and temptation often means huge risks.

Is the soul crystal core so easy to swallow? The first moment it is swallowed, it will inevitably be occupied by the dove and the magpie's nest, and in turn its body!

"A species that cannot withstand temptation cannot be considered truly intelligent." it thought in its heart.

Just like this evil god frozen in ice, with so much power, couldn't he resist the temptation and jump out to die?

"What a retard!"

The little devil shrugged his shoulders proudly, and his only remaining wings jumped.

I am still as witty as Doro. There are too many unknowns in the world. The consequences of not being careful are just one word...death!

Just like these human beings, they don't look very powerful on the surface, but in fact they have many hidden cards.

Instead, it turned around respectfully and invited Lu Yiming to enjoy the crystal core. In Doro, only the strongest people can resist the chaos and avoid losing their sense of self.

"You want me to eat it? What the hell...is there a high-energy crystal in it?"

Low whispers sounded again, and Lu Yiming's expression gradually relaxed as he saw the monster being suppressed by the frozen boulder.

The little devil nodded and gestured for a while, meaning that this crystal core was only the size of a cherry and it was very beneficial to eat it.

However, even if there were benefits to eating this thing, it was impossible for Lu Yiming to eat it.

A metal box of flesh and blood, with a lot of black hair squeezed inside, and many eyes and mouths. It is a real monster. A child would have nightmares after seeing it. How could he eat it?

Anyway, he would never dare to eat randomly.

"You mean, there is a crystal nucleus in this mass of flesh and blood? Is that the real core? It is very interesting research material." A professor put down his anxiety and stroked his glasses: "Maybe it can be used To generate electricity, is it a real perpetual motion machine?"

"You are simply thinking too much. A supernatural item with a psychic strength of 600,000 can't become a perpetual motion machine, so why can it have a power of 120,000?" another expert retorted.

"How to get the crystal core out? Should we kill this monster directly?"

Jin Lili's expression was also slightly relaxed. She checked the parameters in the monitoring room for a while: "There should be no problem. The spiritual strength of this unknown creature has currently dropped to a level lower than that of ordinary people. To be specific, it is about 1.7 , keep it up, you won’t die for a while.”

"However, it is impossible for it to break through the freezing power."

The ice crystal boulder's suppression ability is too effective, and it is passive. As long as you don't touch it, it will keep suppressing the monster.

The trump card from the Hope is not weak.

However, the residues of the three S-class grudges provided by the Unkai, including distortion, blood and high temperature, have hidden dangers once used.

Shi Dayong wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked: "What should we do with this thing next? Should we keep it frozen and closely guard it, or... kill it directly? We should have many ways to kill it." "

"No, don't kill him yet." Lu Yiming said quickly.

There are many uses for this unknown creature.

First of all, the biggest one is for experimental purposes. As long as they can control it and prevent it from going crazy, mad scientists have enough martial ethics to let it feel what the real "devil" is.

Just kidding, Lu Yiming still feels numb when thinking about some of the restrictive experimental scenes.

Like... installing a chip in a zombie's brain is just childish! What kind of brain in a vat, what kind of grafting experiments, transplanting monster organs into mice; or cutting off biological tissues piece by piece to study their regenerative capabilities...

Thinking about this kind of thing gives me goosebumps.

People who don't have some mental endurance really can't be scientists.

In addition, this monster can also be stored up and sacrificed to Nubi.

A creature with a psychic strength of 120,000, an unprecedented sacrifice, must be worth a lot of value.

"Of course this kind of thing is just a thought. Unless we reach a truly desperate situation, we will sacrifice it." Lu Yiming thought to himself.

As for other uses, we can only study them first.

Professor Huang also said: "I suggest that you store it first and take care of it according to the standards of Class A high-risk items. This frozen stone must be suppressed at all times."

"Captain Liang, your side is going to temporarily lose a trump card."

Listening to the discussion of the experts on the Sea of ​​Clouds, Liang Zhenhui and Dai Lun of the Hope also breathed a sigh of relief, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, just keep following the frozen boulder. We...actually have another one here, it won't be in the way..."

For the Hope, the biggest problem is the aftermath.

However, the aftermath has become much simpler.

The cost of sacrificing one person was bearable, and at least the remaining 40 people were rescued without causing excessive civil unrest.

The death of one person and the death of 41 people are two different magnitudes.

The other 40 lucky people who woke up are still locked in the box. When they saw such a terrifying monster through the glass cover, they felt as if they had just woken up from a dream. They all lay on the same spot and were stunned for a while. Living.

After a long time, someone cried faintly and hammered the glass cover with their fists, wanting to come out.

The feeling of being trapped in the game is like a nightmare, and I can't remember it vaguely. But that kind of crisis and horror can never be forgotten!

If a person does not seek death, he will never die.

Why do you have to give away your team to play a game?

Why play this game?

"Let them out and check them carefully." Lu Yiming said.

After they came out of the box, the staff took the instruments and checked them carefully, confirming that they were human soul fluctuations, so the problem was not too big.

The next arrangement is simple. After working hard all night, everyone seems a little tired. Those who should rest should take a rest, those who should be on duty should be on duty, and those who should do follow-up investigations should continue to do follow-up investigations. The soldiers who had activated their psychic shields were all very tired, including Guo Weiqiang, Shi Dayong and other psychic force field users. They were also very tired.

Lu Yiming didn't have too much exertion, so he didn't sleep. His physical condition was enough to sleep for two or three hours a day. Now that he was doing something like this, there was no way he could sleep. He could just be responsible for the miscellaneous follow-up affairs.

This metal box containing unknown life and the frozen boulder were placed together in a Class A warehouse with the highest security level and were strictly monitored.

That game console was also placed in another safe warehouse.

This mysterious host still has certain supernatural fluctuations, but due to unknown reasons, the strength dropped to 20,000. This is no longer a particularly high psychic strength. These fluctuations can be isolated with some strengthening materials. Moreover, the "Demon Kingdom" game can still connect to other worlds, which is a good channel for understanding.

As for the little devil Doro, he has a larger living space, which is 20 times larger than before!

It also received more food. How to reward it and how much freedom it should be given need to be discussed in detail by the high-level governments of both parties.

Doro has mastered a special equivalent exchange ritual through which he can communicate with special beings. If used well, it is as valuable as the Nubi Altar, and the risk is more controllable than the Nubi Altar.

During the internal meeting at six o'clock in the morning, Lu Yiming mentioned this: "Everyone has seen that this special ritual is actually quite powerful if used properly."

"The equivalent exchange ritual can send evil gods to do things for us, which is similar to the Nubi Altar. Of course we have to pay a certain price for it..."

"Army, this price is actually not easy to control and difficult to bear. And we can't completely trust the little devil." An expert said: "The so-called price is either to let the evil god come to our world; or to sacrifice a large number of population, no matter what the cost, the trouble is too great to bear."

Don't look at the death of a person this time, it is passive; if someone dies actively to sacrifice to the devil, no one can bear this responsibility.

Not even on death row.

"The one summoned this time has only a psychic strength of 120,000. In the future... it may be uncertain. We cannot guarantee that every demon summoned can be defeated."

"That's true, so it can only be used as a trump card." Lu Yiming sighed.

Some security experts also raised questions in their minds: "Everyone, there is another question. If this little devil secretly used this equivalent exchange ritual to summon a similar evil god again. We were unprepared. How should we prevent it?”

This time, people were well prepared, so they dealt with the summons without any danger.

If it suddenly appeared, it would be normal for thousands of civilians to die, or even be completely wiped out.

This question was quickly answered.

First, the little devil's equivalent exchange ritual requires living humans as bargaining chips to be possessed by the soul of the evil god.

A pig or a chicken won't do. Because the brain of a pig or chicken can hardly carry complex information.

This little devil named "Doro" is under strict supervision and it is difficult to get a living human being.

Second, it must find a similar underworld before it can communicate with the evil god. It is impossible for any evil god to respond to sacrifices made for no reason.

There was no way Doro had access to that computer.

As for other underworlds, it cannot open them, otherwise it would have already taken action during the five years of imprisonment.

Third, it is also afraid of death and can easily kill itself if it attracts unknown creatures.

Therefore, for this strange and intelligent creature, if you can recruit people, try to recruit them as much as possible. A little preferential treatment is not a big problem.

It is best to let it learn human language to facilitate communication...

The expert said: "Self-aware creatures will naturally have various needs, such as food needs, social needs, etc. The little devil Doro has obviously shown curiosity about human society. We will conduct Targeted research and stabilizing its mood.”

"By the way, it is actually a very patient species. After all, it has been in prison for five years and has not shown any abnormal symptoms. After all, it is a legendary species that can continuously evolve. Its lifespan is much longer than humans. "

"So, it's not too difficult to do what you like."

Lu Yiming nodded and felt relieved after hearing the expert's analysis.

"What happened to the survivors?"

"I was overly frightened, so I took sleeping pills and fell asleep."

"The 40 survivors will receive psychological counseling from professionals, and some negotiation experts will ask in detail what happened, how they spent their time in the game world, etc. Alas, these people still need to be followed up and investigated in detail Let’s get through it…”

…

This miscellaneous follow-up work lasted until eight o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

The subsequent waves caused by the game turmoil slowly settled down...Relevant news reports occupied 20 minutes of the news broadcast, which is quite a lot.

The only family member of the deceased was naturally heartbroken, but in the end they could only accept the bleak fact. When someone dies, some people will definitely be sad and sad. This is inevitable. The living people still have to live well.

The incident was so big that nearly a thousand people were affected, so it couldn't be completely concealed. All the people on the Hope were discussing it. However, because the matter was resolved quickly enough, and because there was only one death toll, the government concealed part of the truth in the news broadcast, which was acceptable...

The remaining 40 survivors also underwent detailed physical examinations, calmed down, and slowly regained their composure.

Even so, the people of the Hope still felt a sense of urgency. Crisis in Yanghe often happened without warning, and this time the crisis suddenly broke out.

A large number of people called on the Internet for the two parties to merge quickly! Only the merger of both parties is the last word!

After that, the top management of both the Unkai and the Hope once again held a relevant meeting.

The atmosphere this time was relatively more relaxed.

Captain Liang Zhenhui of the Hope was the first to speak: "Comrades, good evening, everyone. Although this disaster is not really a complete success, it can be regarded as resolved safely. After more than ten hours of observation, the unknown world was frozen. The mental strength of the creature remains stable, and the probability of breaking free from the frozen boulder is extremely small... Fortunately, the Kunlun Mountains has enough means to preserve it."

"As for that game console, as long as no one touches it, it shouldn't cause much trouble. It is a good entrance for us to understand another universe, so we will save it for now."

"After investigation, all 40 survivors were found to be normal and have no mental problems."

There was a slight discussion in the room.

Lu Yiming lamented in his heart that when he was in a high position, his life was just a number. A feather of the times, pressing down on an individual, can crush him to death. After all, one person died...

However, this is also something that cannot be done.

Even, it turned out to be a good thing.

Because this cooperation is the first in-depth cooperation between the two parties, it is an almost perfect start!

Public pressure from the public also began to increase, and the citizens of the Hope began to eagerly desire the merger. This pressure was directly passed to the top management of the Hope and turned into a driving force.

"Almost perfect" is because one person still died and was taken over by an unknown life, so it did not reach true perfection.

But being able to do this, everyone is very satisfied, even Lu Yiming himself is quite satisfied.

In this accident, he was almost a bystander and did not exert much effort.

Humanity did not draw on the power of the Altar of Nubi.

In fact, it is essentially an abnormal mentality to always use the "Nubi Altar" as the last trump card and think about begging Nubi when encountering difficult problems. If this mentality is allowed to spread, sooner or later, the Unkai will become the Nubian civilization it once was.

"This subtle influence is really scary." Lu Yiming was wary.

Judging from the various methods and background of both parties, they also showed strong resilience.

Even if a more difficult disaster occurs, we can still have the confidence to deal with it calmly.

After talking about this, the atmosphere in the conference room became relaxed, and everyone's tense expressions gradually melted away.

"The biggest contribution to the resolution of the situation this time is the ether value detector." Professor Huang discussed in a low voice: "Without the ether value detector, there is no way to deeply explore the information, and a lot of work will not be done. We can't do a lot of work. Maybe you are still in a confused state..."

Lu Yiming nodded slightly. Many superpowers are silent and cannot be discovered by humans in time.

Silence often means mystery and unknown, making it difficult to prevent in advance.

But with the ether value detector, these superpowers will be easily detected, and targeted solutions will be easier to think of.

"The second most important thing is the psychic shield, which perfectly combines technology and superpowers. Even an unknown life with 120,000 psychic powers cannot quickly break through the psychic shield."

"And this kind of technological product is extremely applicable. Even weak soldiers can accumulate high strength as long as they are in sufficient numbers."

"If we change it again, uh... there is no problem for the psychic shield to reach a strength of 100,000. If a corresponding psychic battery is developed, it may be even higher, more than 100,000."

"Oh, by the way, that little devil is also very important. It comes from the idealistic world and knows some weird knowledge. If it can be tamed, then tame it as much as possible. We have a lot of tamed creatures from the idealistic world on hand. , it doesn’t matter if there is one more, as long as it can be controlled, it won’t be a big problem.”

"That kind of special contract ceremony can send evil gods, so it has great potential."

When Professor Huang said this, he actually felt a little proud: "The last are the four supernatural items at the bottom of the box. Each one has a psychic strength of more than 500,000. Coupled with the blood of the Blood Demon, there are so many trump cards. It's really good. Ah. Without their existence, it would be really difficult to directly suppress this unknown creature."

"God knows what kind of capabilities it has..."
