Chapter 734 I like your smile

The tower collapsed, and the camp below was flooded with lava. The rooms on the top floor, or the safes, were thrown out, but at least it didn't seem to be damaged. The fire elemental and other creatures who were enjoying the carnival didn't notice the situation here, and there was no one nearby.

All the dead men in black were shot by Pei Renli.

There was no need to rush to open it at this time, but Eve might really not be able to wait any longer and had to bring her journey of remembrance to an end.

One of her feet was hit by a stone, and it already looked like a chicken's claw. Pei Renli really had no way to deal with it. He could only wait for Elena to wake up and rely on the priest's healing spells to solve the problem.

So Pei Renli helped Anna and Eve approach the door that had been closed for a long time.

The key was with Perenli, and he handed it back to Eve. It wasn't that Perenli didn't want to open the door, but that he couldn't find the keyhole.

The door is completely flat. Although you can see many mechanical structures such as gears and springs that are still running, you can't find the keyhole.

Eve seemed to know it, as if she knew it instinctively. She leaned on Perenli with one foot on tiptoe and reached for the center of the door.

Because it was thrown out, the door is now lying on the ground. Thanks to this, it would be difficult to reach otherwise.

The door seemed to have the ability to sense. When it sensed the approach of the brass key, the rotating gears suddenly stopped and immediately began to reverse.

The metal plate in the center of the door split into four pieces and stretched in different directions, revealing a socket-like keyhole, which could just fit into the brass tube-shaped key.

When the key is inserted, an 'empty' sound can be heard, like the sound of some internal mechanism being reset. Eve firmly uses the key's tail ring to rotate, which seems to have a specific number of turns, like winding up a clockwork.

.

After twisting it for about five and a half turns, Pei Renli heard the door making a ticking sound like a clock, and then the gold coin door opened a crack.

The hydraulic structure at the door axis is shrinking little by little, lifting the heavy door panel and opening it.

Even with only one leg barely able to stand, Perrenli and Anna could still feel that Eve seemed eager to rush in the door, and they also cooperated with their feet to walk around the door panel and walk in.

gold.

The first thing that catches the eye is gold.

Because it is a whole, the door behind the door is actually closer to a pure steel vault, but the inner wall is completely painted in the color of rich gold, no matter the ceiling, walls or floor, there are no exceptions.

A large number of bookcases, tables, chairs and other furniture that were supposed to be placed against the wall were also overturned due to the collapse of the tower, and heavy books scattered all over the room like fallen leaves.

The cover of the book is one of the few colors in the room other than gold. It is not yet clear what kind of book it is.

Apart from that, the most eye-catching thing is...

Um, it looks like a coffin.

It is also golden, made of some kind of metal, and is big enough for an adult to lie inside. There is a cover like a gull-wing door on the top, but the main body of the thing is glass, and a layer of metal is fixed on the outer ring, causing it to

The impact had shattered glass all over the floor.

To be honest, although it looks like a coffin, the structure looks more like some kind of high-tech hibernation chamber.

At one end of the 'coffin', you can see several large and thick metal pipes, which are connected to the floor, but because the floor has now become a wall, the 'coffin' seems to be suspended by the metal pipes.

Like mid-air, it appeared vertically in front of the three people.

Perrenli and Anna observed the situation in the room. Not only did this place have a vulgar color scheme of rich gold, but it also had no atmosphere of life at all. It didn't look like the place where Eve had lived.

Perenli was about to take out the magic detection scroll to see if there were any traps or anything, but Eve couldn't wait any longer.

It was hard to say that she consciously broke away from Pei Renli's support and stumbled towards the 'coffin' suspended in mid-air.

Her fingers gently touched the cold metal edge, and at that moment, an indescribable sense of relief and familiarity filled Eve's heart.

Although she didn't remember it, her body still knew instinctively that this place had a lot to do with her.

A large number of memories poured into Eve's head almost at the same time, as if to heat her brain to boiling. A series of strange light spots flashed quickly in front of her eyes, and everything in her memory seemed to be clearer.

"How's it going? Do you remember?"

Eve turned around and noticed that Pei Renli was handing over a handkerchief. She was a little confused at first, but then she saw Pei Renli pointing to her nose.

Only then did Eve notice that a lot of blood was flowing out of her nose, and it had already flowed to her chin.

"Thanks."

She wiped it, but not cleanly. There was still a lot of blood on her face.

"I'm not sure. I think I remembered it, but it always felt like there was a layer of veil between me and something else."

This is the last place in Eve's hazy memory. There are no more clues. Her memory, her origin, where she comes from, and where she is going, these questions still have no answers.

Eve suddenly felt melancholy. This state of not knowing who she was gave her a strong sense of loneliness, as if she did not belong to this world.

"Maybe there are answers in those books. Don't worry. Go back and take a good look at the books here. Maybe you can remember them."

Hearing Pei Renli's words, Eve cheered up a little. Indeed, it was too early to give up now.

At this time Anna pointed to the edge of the ‘coffin’ and said:

"There are several buttons here, what are they for?"

When Perrenli and Eve turned their eyes, they happened to see the buttons Anna mentioned suddenly light up.

Anna was shocked:

"I didn't touch it!"

Of course Anna knew not to touch things she didn't know, especially things related to magic, and I really don't blame her.

He immediately helped Eve and Anna up, quickly took a few steps back, then stepped back and ran out of the room.

The bright light on the button spreads, as if it lights up the large and small indicator lights on the 'coffin', and finally lights up the three largest and brightest lights near the head, which emit a blue-white aura.

Shoot out thin rays.

The rays are not some kind of attack. They interweave in mid-air, as if weaving a screen, presenting a virtual image like a 3D projection.

Even this virtual image knows the viewer's perspective and adjusts its posture.

In the increasingly clear image, a half-length projection of a human male, approximately thirty or forty years old, appeared.

But it's hard to call him a normal person.

Her blond hair looks half-bald, with only a few bangs remaining barely covering the Mediterranean Sea on top of her head, which looks particularly greasy.

He is wearing a white coat, which doesn't matter, because this kind of clothes is also found in the multiverse world, mainly worn by alchemists.

But this man was actually shirtless and wearing a white coat, matching his greasy look. When walking on the street, he almost posted a note saying 'I am a pervert'...

Then, the image spoke.

"Experimental Subject No. 95, if you can see this video, it means that my experiment was successful."

His voice was abnormal. It was expected to be a video, but it was more like an electronic sound that was spliced ​​using someone's sound source.

"You are suffering from amnesia. You have intelligence, but you still have no soul."

Eve's eyes widened, and the blur in her memory seemed to be shattered.

In her short flashback memory, the person who lived with Eve in this tower gradually became clearer. She remembered that it was the person in the image!

But no soul?

Experimental subject?

"I...who am I?"

Eve's voice trembled, as if she was eager to get the answer but was afraid that the truth she got would not be the result she wanted.

"You are my masterpiece, an artificial human cultivated with the blood of my true ancestors."

"No way! I have a mind!"

In Pei Renli's memory, he had never seen Eve so excited. She tried her best to deny the words of the image.

The image shrugged, as if anticipating Eve's question:

"This is just an image. I can't answer all your questions, but you will definitely have questions. I suggest you take a closer look at the bottom of the petri dish."

Pei Renli took two steps forward and walked to the side. He saw that on the inside of the coffin-shaped thing, there was 'No. 95, Eve' engraved in Common Language.

"Is he lying?"

Eve looked at Perenli, expecting him to nod, but she saw Perenli shaking his head.

"I'm...an artificial human?"

Not only does she have no memory, she also has no origin, no parents or relatives, she appears out of thin air, like a duckweed.

"Why? Why?"

“How much accumulation of memories does it take for self-awareness to arise?”

The image did not answer immediately, but asked another question and continued:

"You decided to build and cultivate the experimental body in order to determine this threshold. Of course it is not just an artificial human being."

As if he was showing off, but also as if he was proud, he faced Eve, who seemed to be in despair, and said calmly:
To be continued...
