Chapter 964 Skiro(1/2)
Author: Binary Sword Fairy
Chen Yan thought he had seen it wrong, so he rubbed his damn eye hard and looked up again, but the scene in front of him had not changed.
How did that happen?
Chen Yan signaled Ogami to wait, and came to one of the severely weathered tombs, where he saw the epitaph of the owner of the tomb. That was what the owner of the tomb did during his lifetime - what he did in every generation.
The epitaph expanded on its own when Chen Yan saw it. Chen Yan looked down, pulled the expanded part to the bottom, and saw the modern achievements of the owner of this tomb - this person turned out to be the core researcher in the development of internal combustion engines.
One of the people, he made great efforts for the advent of the internal combustion engine, and paid a huge price - he suffered a stroke due to working day and night, and he could not be saved when he was sent to the hospital.
——When Chen Yan looked at this text, the [image] corresponding to the text appeared on the tombstone, like watching an old movie.
Chen Yan turned his attention to the epitaphs on other tombs, and the same thing still happened.
This eye... can actually "concrete" the abstract characteristics of things!
In other words, when the [Eye of the Demihuman King] sees abstract things in the [deeper world], the concrete image corresponding to the abstract thing in the [present world] will be reflected in the eyes.
But it's not like he hasn't been to a deeper world before - he and Professor Lauye entered the projection of the world [BIOS] together. Why didn't this eye concretize the scenes in [BIOS] into a specific image at that time?
Woolen cloth?
Chen Yan couldn't figure it out, but subjectively believed that it must have something to do with that old guy Osmandis.
But he can't even develop synesthesia with this eye, which means that this eye does not belong to him, and this eye is likely to have the attribute of [living] - the [Eye of the Demihuman King] itself, is affecting him
He was on psychological or physical defense, which was the reason why he was unable to use this eye before.
‘Now that I can use this eye, it’s probably because of some kind of [authorization] from Osmandis.’
Chen Yan can't go back now, so he can only put this matter aside for the time being. He has a good mentality, so he clearly understands his situation - possessing the [Eye of the Demihuman King] is the safety guarantee for him to be able to walk here -
-This knowledge allowed him to temporarily accept the negative effects of this eye.
Chen Yan looked again at the corrupt cemeteries around him, and based on what he saw, he came to a conclusion:
'Not all graves are rotten.'
'Some people are dead, but he is still alive.'
He had a clear understanding in his heart.
Some of the tombstones have collapsed. Because the light was too dim, Chen Yan could not see what was under the collapse.
"It's nothingness."
Ogami obviously noticed Chen Yan's gaze.
"There is nothingness under those holes. I once threw a guy into it and found that people can fall for a long time - the nothingness seems to be endless."
Chen Yan swallowed.
Speaking of "endless fall", he had seen similar places before.
In the unique sight of the [Eye of the Demihuman King], the location of the [Hollow] is completely black.
Chen Yan had no intention of getting closer and taking a closer look.
Perhaps because he was close to the location of the [Truth], or perhaps because Ogami wanted to explain the matter clearly, during the rest of the journey, Ogami told Chen Yan the process of discovering this place intermittently:
The investigation started a long time ago.
In order to return some kind of power that can produce [immortality], they left their homes and traveled across the ocean to the country where the legendary artifact was. After experiencing countless disasters, they finally returned the power that could produce [immortality] to its owner.
Things seemed to end here, and the efforts put in by Ogami and Nuomiguo seemed to have paid off, and the whole world seemed to have become peaceful.
But they soon discovered that the power that can produce [immortality] is not just the one they returned - the number of powers and sources that can produce [immortality] seems endless, and people who pursue such power will always appear - [Pursuit
Their appearance does not take time as a measure, space as a span, and people's despicability as good or bad as a distinction. They are endless and will kill endlessly!
——This is just the beginning of the story.
In order to find the reason why [The Seeker] always appears, they embark on a journey again.
Following the clues they found in previous adventures, they headed east, experienced strange situations that were completely unimaginable, met the good brother who helped them and the bad guy who framed them. They once traveled through the legendary fiery red land.
country, and once wandered on the other side of the Yunhe Mountains with monsters in people's imagination.
Like the brave men in countless fairy tales, they have experienced countless disasters, and now they are finally about to face the evil dragon. At this moment, their decades-long journey to pursue the truth is about to reach its end.
After conducting unimaginably arduous investigations on the imperial soil based on clues that had been pursued for decades, Ogami finally came to the end of the clues - all the clues and the conclusions derived from the clues pointed to a large-scale cult, that
The cult is located in an agricultural city near the imperial capital.
A gathering place of human society, a place where answers cannot be obtained through violence alone.
Ogami spent a lot of money, using almost all his abilities, plus some necessary luck, to get the exact information about the cult.
After eradicating all the cult, Ogami discovered that the sacrifice had been completed, and the evil god's projection had entered the body of the sacrifice, taking control of its life.
Ogami removed the hands, feet and tongue of the evil god's projection, thus cutting off the evil god's ability to return to the deeper world through normal channels.
Nuomiguo used a bioelectronic chip to invade the evil god's brain, dig deep into the evil god's brain, and thus learn the coordinates of the evil god's deeper world.
After possessing the coordinates, they electronically transformed the portal on the ship using the knowledge stored in the omnic prosthetic weapon chip.
This process is not smooth. How can electronic transformation affect extraordinary things?
It must go through a certain [medium].
Although Nuomiguo didn't know what [medium] was, she was sure that this method and idea was feasible, because similar situations had occurred in the history of the society on the extraordinary side of the empire - these facts were recorded in the books she had previously come into contact with through various channels.
She studied for a long time but had no clue, until that day Hope came to the boat and sensed her anxiety.
Hope is a person with strong synesthesia. Not only did she sense Nuomiguo's anxiety, but she also understood the deeper emotions buried under Nuomiguo's anxiety - "There seems to be a rainy dark cloud floating above your head" -
That's what Hope said at the time.
Nuomiguo accepted Hope's help and finally understood what [medium] is - a creation that conforms to both [Lagrange's second law] and [Lagrange's third law], which can help her use data
It is a programmable integrated chip that can operate extraordinary things to a certain extent by means of transformation. There is nothing magical about it, but the algorithm functions and programs based on Lagrange's law give the chip the ability to control transcendence.
The ability to edit the door.
After inputting the coordinates obtained from the evil god, you can reach the location of the coordinates through the portal.
Ogami went to the world where the evil god lived, and was surprised to find that there was a fragment of a lost world.
Judging from the various remains of the fragments of the world, this should belong to an era that left almost no traces in the present world.
Life in this generation is almost extinct, and evil gods are the only remaining species in this world.
Ogami was lucky enough. He found a path among the fragments of the world - the "Eternal Place of All Things" in the legend of the ethnic group to which the evil god belongs. According to their legend, that is the destination of everything in the world and the eternity of things.
Proof of existence.
"This is it - the so-called [Place of Eternity] is actually a cemetery!"
Ogami's mood changed drastically, which made Chen Yan feel murderous.
"After I came here, I initially thought that the 'eternity' they spoke of meant 'eternal death,' but I soon discovered that I was wrong. Those things...the dead are not the end of life."
After passing a huge tomb, Ogami came to a crooked tombstone.
There is a name written on the tombstone——
【Sekiro】
This is not a name.
"It's just a code name - a staccato sound that was made by compressing our language and blending it into the ancient language of the northern part of the empire - meaning [one-armed wolf]."
Ogami looked at Chen Yan.
"This is my grave."
"This is the [death] I have been searching for."
Chen Yan couldn't understand what Ogami meant by [cutting off the immortality]. Was it the immortality in his own body that he wanted to cut off?
No! Ogami has never been a person who wants to die! What he wants to kill is not just the immortality in himself!
It was difficult for Chen Yan to describe the look in Ogami's eyes at this moment.
Confusion, panic, anger, helplessness, depression...a large number of negative emotions appeared in Ogami's eyes, and disappeared completely in the next moment.
"If I will eventually belong to my tomb, how can I, as a living person, return my life to my tomb?"
"Suicide?"
"But I can't die."
The ninja who pursues [cutting off immortality] is himself an existence of [immortality].
"I once returned [Immortality] to its owner, but there are still other powers in this world that allow me to possess [Immortality]. When I get further and further away from the extraordinary world, the power of [Immortality] that I can come into contact with is
More and more...to this day, [Immortality] is like a ubiquitous breeze, always by my side."
Ogami pointed a knife at the grave with [Sekiro]'s name written on it:
"But if death is impossible, how can one let life into the grave?"
"People like me...people like me who cannot die, who have gained great power that humans should not have because of their immortality, and who are addicted to the power and spread it, where are their graves? They are all in this cemetery.
To be continued...
