Volume 3 Chapter 130: Opening the Human Relics
Lin Xu stood up from the hovercraft in a flash.
I went to the window and looked out.
Nothing outside has changed, it is still the archipelago made up of countless small islands.
However, Lin Xu clearly felt in the higher dimension that this place no longer belonged to the previous space, and even the way time flowed had undergone subtle changes.
Time is divided here.
Of course, non-high-dimensional beings cannot feel it, because the passage of time here is no different from the passage of time in the outside world. It is not possible that a day here may only pass a minute outside.
But time is ultimately divided here, and here and outside are already two different time and space.
It is like a tiny tributary has split off from the long river of time. Even if the flow rate is the same, it is ultimately a different branch.
This kind of barrier of time and space is no wonder that when Lin Xu was outside, not only were the nanorobots unable to break in, but even the high-dimensional perspective could not penetrate the barrier of time and space and see the situation here.
And now, as he entered the unique space-time of the archipelago, Lin Xu, from his perspective in the higher dimension , finally saw the large number of objects that were stored in this unique space-time.
"We're here." The hovercraft stopped on a small island, and the considerate man Raman was the first to get off the hovercraft.
Lin Xu and others followed him down.
But compared to the calmness of Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, Nanzhu and Lu Yao, Anna seemed more vigilant.
After all, compared to those skilled and courageous people, Anna, who is just an ordinary detective, feels a little weak at the moment.
"Have they arrived?" In a certain room, in a video conference that was ongoing all the time, the screen representing a certain congressman was completely dark, with only ripples of sound passing by.
"We're here. The action can begin."
"Agreed, let's begin."
Thus, the order was issued, and the various departments that had been prepared began to take action.
At the same time, Lin Xu, who was on the island's helipad, asked Raman, the thoughtful man walking in front of him.
"Where is the storage place?"
"No rush. Now that we are here, let's meet the congressmen first." Raman gestured to continue moving forward.
Lin Xu smiled and said nothing.
Soon, the group arrived at a closed building.
It looks like a palace from the outside, but more like a prison from the inside.
The further you go in, the more comprehensive the defense measures become.
The heavy reinforced concrete is several meters thick and cannot be broken even by artillery shells.
As Lin Xu and his companions stepped over the heavy steel doors, Anna became more and more nervous and excited, her body even turning a little flushed.
She just likes this kind of excitement, so she chose the profession of detective, chose this kind of life, and went into danger countless times.
Finally, under the guidance of Raman, several people entered a room made entirely of several meters thick reinforced concrete. In the room, there was only a long table, several chairs, a row of monitors, and a figure wearing a cloak sitting in the main seat.
"Are we there yet?" Lin Xu looked at Raman who was leading the way in front of him, with an inexplicable smile on his face.
"We're here. The congressmen are waiting for you." For some reason, Raman's voice suddenly became hoarse.
The next moment, as if receiving some kind of signal, dense snowflakes flashed across a row of monitors.
However, there was no voice of the parliamentarians behind the monitor.
For a moment, in the gloomy and dark reinforced concrete room, there was a row of monitors flashing with snowflakes, and a figure covered by a cloak sitting in the main seat.
Everything was shrouded in a horror movie atmosphere.
"Playing tricks." Nanzhu muttered.
"It seems that the congressmen don't want to talk. What about you? Can you still speak?" Lin Xu smiled as he looked at the screen where snowflakes were still flashing.
"What, what do you mean?" Raman's voice became hoarse.
Lin Xu shook his head and reached out to gently push Raman.
With a loud bang, Raman's entire body fell to the ground and turned into a pile of porcelain fragments.
"What's going on? He's not a real person?" Anna immediately squatted down to check, her detective eyes sparkling. She had never seen such a living person turned into a pile of porcelain fragments.
"Originally it was, but I don't know when it was replaced in the middle." Lin Xu replied.
"Didn't you notice it either?" Anna asked.
"We discovered it after the change occurred, but we have no clue as to how the change occurred at that moment. This should be some kind of ability of the containment object." Mu Xiyue replied.
"Wait, you discovered it? Why didn't I discover it?" Nanzhu's fox eyes instantly widened and stared at Mu Xiyue.
"Because you're stupid." Mu Xiyue replied indifferently.
"I'm stupid? I'm the leader." Nanzhu immediately quit.
The Fairy Fox Clan was known for their strategies, and she, the leader, was called stupid. If the occasion wasn't right, she would have to fight Mu Xiyue with force.
"Your attention is all on Lin Xu, so it's normal that you didn't notice it." Lu Yao at the side tried to smooth things over and persuaded.
"I don't, I'm just focusing 80 percent of my attention on Lord Lin Xu, not all of it." Nanzhu disagreed.
Mu Xiyue just glanced at her and didn't bother to pay attention to her.
At this moment, perhaps the porcelain man falling to the ground startled the figure sitting there, and the figure under the cloak began to move.
He just stood up slowly as if he had just woken up, and his cloak rolled off.
Anna immediately saw clearly that it was a person whose face was made up entirely of three black holes.
The moment Anna saw the three black holes on the man's face, she seemed to be attracted and became unable to move.
Then, the faceless man with three black holes on his face seemed to have seen someone and was frightened.
He immediately grabbed his neck with both hands and tightened his grip.
You can even see the blue veins on the palms from exerting force.
So Anna also tightened her neck with both hands, exerting force with her palms.
At the same time, on another nearby island, in a tightly closed containment room, ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of a humanoid porcelain vessel.
Then Raman's figure appeared and replaced the original porcelain.
Gasping heavily, Raman checked his whole body and found nothing wrong.
But he couldn't leave here yet.
Because he and the porcelain man in shelter have only exchanged bodies. If the two parties cannot exchange their bodies back within 24 hours, he will completely lose his body and die.
Of course, his body has turned into porcelain, so it doesn't matter if it's broken, as long as he can glue it back together.
But the prerequisite is that his body that has turned into porcelain can be found.
But he was not worried about this. After breaking into the foundation's base, Raman didn't think that those people could hold out for twenty-four hours.
Of course, in order to prevent accidents, he cannot leave the holding room within 24 hours.
"Hey, Raman, would you like something to drink? We can bring it to you inside," the voice outside the containment room inquired.
"No, thank you. I just want to know what's going on over there." Raman asked after thanking you.
"It should have already started. Don't worry. That's a terrifying level containment object that once caused suicide in the entire city. The Foundation paid a huge price to contain him." A voice outside the containment room sighed.
"Is that faceless man so powerful? Can't he only make people who see him imitate his movements?" someone asked in surprise.
"You don't understand this, newbie? He doesn't just want people who see him to imitate his movements. As long as someone imitates his movements, a meme will be formed. Anyone who sees the person imitating his movements will also imitate him. They don't need to see him directly, just see the person imitating him." The voice explained.
"So, if he makes a suicide move in the city center, others will immediately imitate him. At the same time, even if people farther away can't see him, they will follow suit when they see people imitating him. This spread will soon spread to the entire city."
"This is what makes him so terrifying. Fortunately, we discovered him early, otherwise it would not just be a city." The voice at the beginning sighed.
Raman heard all these conversations. He was not unfamiliar with the Faceless Man because he was a newcomer when the Faceless Man was taken in and he even participated in the original sheltering plan.
He would never forget the situation in which more than half of the people in his team committed suicide.
It was precisely because he knew how horrific these objects were that he didn't think Lin Xu and the others had any chance of survival.
At the same time, I am not worried at all that I will not be able to find my body again.
Anna felt that she had no control over herself at all. She did whatever the faceless man did. She exerted force with her hands and soon she couldn't breathe.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will soon pinch herself to death.
Is this the containment object? It’s really weird.
This ability is simply unreasonable and contrary to common sense.
How are they?
Anna rolled her eyes vigorously and looked to the side.
Then I saw Lin Xu next to him still standing there calmly.
Miss Qiu placed her hands on her belly, maintaining a perfect maid posture.
Mu Xiyue was on guard around her, while Nanzhu and Lu Yao were surrounding her, seemingly trying to figure out why she suddenly went crazy and pinched herself.
"You guys? Are you okay?" Anna really wanted to ask, but all she could make was the sound of friction from the only remaining gap in her trachea.
"Lord Lin Xu, what should she do?" Nanzhu asked Lin Xu.
Nanzhu still cares a lot about Anna, his temporary companion who he has been with day and night for several days.
"It's very simple, just block it." Lin Xu said, and took a step forward, standing between Anna and the faceless man.
Suddenly, Anna, who had lost the faceless man in front of her, immediately loosened her hands.
He started breathing heavily and breathing heavily.
"You guys, how come everything's fine?" Anna asked in confusion.
"Well, just think that we have special physiques!" Nanzhu said with a smile.
I can't tell her that it's because Lin Xu is a high-dimensional creature and they are his high-dimensional followers.
It's like being immune to the information shock caused by chaotic energy.
As a human clan, they have sufficient resistance to high-dimensional interference.
Not to mention that the Faceless Man's high-dimensional interference ability is just a drizzle in the high dimension. How could it possibly have any effect on them?
At this time, Lin Xu had already walked up to the faceless man and looked at him curiously.
The faceless man kept pinching his neck all the time, with his eyes like black holes, and seemed to glance at Lin Xu secretly, as if he was also thinking, why this person didn't follow his actions at all?
Then the next moment, the faceless man loosened his hands, exerted force, and broke his neck with a snap.
The broken neck was hanging on the head by the flesh, and the faceless man's black hole-like eyes seemed to be accusing Lin Xu, "Why don't you learn from me? This is not normal."
"His neck is broken. Can it be reattached?" Lin Xu was a little curious.
"Master, does he need medical treatment?" Miss Qiu stepped forward and said.
“I don’t know if his body structure is the same as that of a normal person.” Lin Xu looked at the faceless man as if he was looking at a little white mouse.
The faceless man's eyes seemed to still be accusing him, "I am a horror-level containment creature after all, you can't humiliate me like this."
In the end, the faceless man was taken into Lin Xu's personal space on Earth and locked up temporarily.
Lin Xu was reluctant to kill such an interesting little white mouse immediately.
Because the meme infection of the Faceless Man is not only through real-life viewing, even just watching video images can trigger meme infection.
Therefore, there were no surveillance cameras installed in the concrete pouring room where the Faceless Man was placed, only eavesdropping devices.
And now, through the eavesdropping devices, the people in the foundation have learned that Lin Xu and others were not affected by the faceless man.
As for Lin Xu taking the faceless man away, they didn't know about it because there were no surveillance cameras.
"How is this possible, how can they not be affected by memes?"
"Could it be that there was a problem with the projection of the faceless man? His cloak didn't open, so no one saw his face?"
"Someone has already been affected. Didn't you hear it? It's just that not everyone has been affected. What's going on?"
Yeah, no one knows what happened.
All they knew was that the next moment, accompanied by a loud bang, the reinforced concrete room was directly pierced through by Mu Xiyue's sword. The thick sword energy extended outward, piercing through the lines of defense, and the reinforced concrete protections several meters wide extended outside the building.
Even Lin Xu and others who were at the center could see the sunlight outside.
"Deliver, deliver the containment object immediately. We can't let them escape. Hurry." The Foundation's agents began to get anxious.
On the other small islands, a large number of foundation members are ready to go.
Soon, just as Lin Xu and his companions walked out of the building along the passage opened by Mu Xiyue's sword.
A helicopter flew across the sky, and a figure descended from the sky on a parachute, blocking the way of Lin Xu and his companions.
"Are you also a shelter?" Lin Xu looked at him curiously. This person looked like an ordinary person.
"No, I'm an agent from the Foundation. I'm here to play a game with you." The man who claimed to be an agent smiled and opened the box in his hand.
"Game?" Lin Xu was puzzled.
"Yes, a dice game. There is a dice here, and you bet on a part of your body. Whoever rolls the highest number on the dice wins. The loser loses part of his body, and the winner gets a spare organ." The agent explained.
"Spare organs? What does that mean?" Lin Xu was puzzled.
"That is to say, if we play the game with our hearts at stake, if I lose, I will lose my heart. If you win, the next time your heart is fatally injured, it will instantly recover as before." The agent explained the rules.
This is also one of the principles for using this containment item. After all, the gambling game can only begin after the rules are clearly explained.
"This is very interesting, but why should I bet with you?" Lin Xu said with a smile.
"I will pay double the chips and force the game to start. You can no longer refuse." The agent laughed.
"But I'd rather refuse." Lin Xu said with a smile.
"Then the gambling game will force you to lose. Are you still going to refuse? The chips I paid are all my internal organs. If you are judged as the loser, you will lose half of your internal organs, and you will definitely die." The agent was sure that Lin Xu would not refuse.
However, the next moment, when the agent was about to pick up the dice in the box and roll them, he suddenly found that the dice began to change colors.
The agent's face changed.
"You actually refused?"
Then his face was filled with ecstasy again.
"Then you can die. It seems that the credit belongs to me. I never thought that there would be such a stupid person in this world."
However, the next moment, the agent realized something was wrong.
Because Lin Xu was still standing there intact, but the colors on the dice were becoming more and more colorful.
Until finally, without a sound or a trace, the dice disappeared.
As the dice disappeared, the agent who had just wanted to force Lin Xu to participate in the gambling game felt a weight reduction on his body, and then something was missing in his stomach.
"What happened? Why did all my internal organs disappear? It was you who clearly rejected the bet, so where did the dice go?" The agent collapsed to the ground, his face full of confusion.
"It's just a backlash. It wants to take things from me. With its ability, it is inevitable that it will be reduced to ashes." Lin Xu said lightly, not surprised.
At that moment just now, the high-dimensional information entangled by the dice wanted to carry out high-dimensional interference on Lin Xu.
It feels like an ancient computer from decades ago trying to understand and invade modern supercomputers. It would be strange if it didn't burn itself to pieces.
The dice disappear and the agent dies.
This caused another sensation within the foundation.
More importantly, this time they observed that the dice were not hidden by Lin Xu, but disappeared. A real containment object disappeared from the world.
Such an incredible scene made all the members of the foundation who were watching this scene, from the bottom to the top, silent.
"I propose that the hostages at the headquarters be evacuated immediately. We must not let the hostages fall into the hands of this person."
"I think we should activate the destruction-level containment and completely eliminate the detonator and the maid. They are too dangerous."
"But activating a destruction-level containment would be even more dangerous. If we're not careful, the whole world could be destroyed."
"If we continue like this, won't it be dangerous if the destruction-level containment object falls into his hands?"
The congressmen were arguing with each other in a chaotic manner, and for a while no one could convince anyone else.
Lin Xu, on the other hand, stayed on the small island and did not move towards other islands. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly, as if he was feeling something.
"What is he doing?"
"Not sure, but this may be the last chance."
"Try it, destruction-level containment."
"agree."
"agree."
“Abstain.”
“Abstain.”
In the end, with seven votes in favor and four abstentions, the proposal to use a destructive-level containment object was finally passed with great difficulty.
"Master, have you found it?" Miss Qiu asked.
"Found it. It is here." Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief. This was not the longest time he had spent searching for ruins, but it felt like the most tortuous process.
In fact, as early as when he just entered this space and time different from the outside world, Lin Xu had already begun to release a large number of nanorobots.
All I have just done is to wait for the nanorobots to spread and find something interesting to pass the time.
Finally, silently, the nanorobots have spread throughout this space full of islands.
Lin Xu's consciousness filled this space through the nanorobots, and finally found the location of the subspace entrance anchored on this planet.
Not far away, on an island located in the middle of many islands.
And it is on that island that the most shelters are stored.
Lin Xu even suspected that the Foundation might have taken the entrance to the subspace of human remains as some kind of containment object.
"Let's go, we're over there." Since he had already found it, Lin Xu didn't plan to waste any more time, so he stood up and flew towards there.
The rest of Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, Nanzhu, Lu Yao and others naturally followed immediately, and Nanzhu did not forget to bring Anna along as well.
But before they could fly far.
Suddenly, a ray of light rose from a distance, and the direction in which the light rose was exactly the direction they were preparing to go.
That is the place with the most stored objects among the many small islands.
"Master, what is that?" Miss Qiu asked puzzled, because she also sensed an unsettling feeling from the light.
It can make Miss Qiu feel uneasy, so you can imagine how dangerous it is.
Mu Xiyue immediately stood in front of Lin Xu and became alert.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Lin Xu patted Mu Xiyue's shoulder and comforted her.
At the same time, he was also observing the location represented by the light from a high-dimensional perspective.
And in the high dimension, this light is also the brightest one among many high-dimensional information entanglement points.
Then Lin Xu understood.
The Foundation is in its death throes.
