Chen Nuo's hand was already on the gate, and then, with a gentle touch, the gate slowly opened.
Chen Nuo took a deep breath, turned to Xicheng Xun behind him and said, "You... follow me, don't walk around."
"Hey~"
Xicheng Xun nodded immediately, followed Chen Nuo with small steps, but his eyes flashed, he looked around from time to time, and squeezed his fingers on the handle of the knife.
Chen Nuo stepped inside.
Then, he saw a hall!
·
This place was no longer the red-circled underground bunker he was familiar with and remembered.
This hall is at least twenty times larger than the underground bunker warehouse when he came here a year ago.
However, what made Chen Nuo feel relieved was...
He was in the hall and did not see the high platform in his dream.
There is no seat on the high platform.
Naturally, the figure with seaweed-like hair on the seat will not appear...
Chen Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, and his fear was slightly suppressed.
The hall looks empty.
However, Chen Nuo noticed that there were some complex scratches left on the originally smooth metal panels on the surrounding walls.
After getting closer and looking at it carefully, Chen Nuo frowned and stretched out his finger to lightly trace a scratch on it...
Chen Nuo's brows furrowed even more tightly, while Xicheng Xun beside him squinted his eyes after reading it, and then reached out to touch the scratches on the wall.
"Bo SS... was this... scratched out with fingers and nails?"
"Yeah." Chen Nuo nodded.
The scratches on the wall are twists and turns, and I don’t know what kind of patterns or words they are.
It looks like a combination of all kinds of weird characters, including square hieroglyphics, cuneiform characters, and winding traces like tadpoles.
There are also several spots that appear to be some kind of geometric pattern.
Chen Nuo walked along the wall for a week, but gained nothing at all. He looked at this closed underground hall, a huge space, four walls, and several supporting columns in the middle.
"Bo SS, there seems to be scratches on the wall here, there is nothing..." Xicheng Xun carefully checked some positions on the wall, even the pillars, and did not find any hidden mechanisms or button equipment. of.
Chen Nuo seemed to be slightly in a trance, especially in the bottom of his heart, there was always a vague strange feeling.
He calmly opened his mental tentacles, forming a barrier around his body.
But the strange feeling still didn't go away.
It's like...
Do you always feel like something is watching you?
The longer I stay in this place, the stronger the feeling becomes! It's as if something is about to break out of the wall and appear from the deepest part of my conscious world...
Suddenly, deep in my mind, I faintly heard a faint voice...
Chen Nuo suddenly felt something in his heart.
Suddenly he turned around and looked at Xicheng Xun with a frown: "Did you hear anything?"
"Huh?" Xicheng Xun looked confused.
Chen Nuo looked strange, then suddenly stretched out his finger and wiped it lightly. A scratch was made on his fingertip, and a drop of blood flowed out and fell on the ground.
In my thoughts, the vague voice seemed to become stronger and clearer...
"Touch RE..."
Chen Nuo looked grim and simply cut his palm with his nails, causing more blood to flow on the ground.
"Bo SS?!" Xicheng Xun was about to say something, but Chen Nuo suddenly made a silent gesture towards her.
On the ground, the small piece of blood quickly started to flow, rolling drop by drop, and finally gathered into a small pool.
Then, this pool of blood slowly squirmed, twisted on the ground, and slowly stood up as if it was alive.
After the shape changed and twisted for a while...
It seemed like a bloody mirror was formed, standing quietly in front of Chen Nuo.
This blood mirror is extremely thin! Because there was not much blood in ancient times, it was almost translucent. However, there was something crawling and changing in the blood mirror.
"So, do you need life? In this world without life elements, you need life to appear?" Chen Nuo frowned and said, "Is it enough now? If not, I can flow out some more."
Finally, in the blood-colored mirror, the invisible mass stopped changing and squirming, and slowly formed a clear appearance.
The face in the blood mirror faced Chen Nuo clearly, with a calm smile on his face.
"I knew you would still come."
Incredibly clear sound.
Chen Nuo's face was stiff, he bit his back teeth hard, took a deep breath, and then slowly spoke.
"…Sid?"
Chen Nuo heard his own voice trembling. He didn't know why. Deep in his heart, he felt an incomparable fear and fear...
It seems that there is something that I have known for a long time, but I am very resistant to, that is about to come to my mind!!
The clear face in the blood mirror is of course West Germany.
But it was not the curly-haired, thin boy-looking West Germany that Chen Nuo met!
But...
West Germany fought in the ruins of the South American rainforest!
And, in the memory of my previous life, I went to the Antarctic sea to fight with the deer Xixi!
To be precise.
This is the West Germany that Chen Nuo met in 2007 in his previous life!
Sid looked at Chen Nuo in the mirror and suddenly laughed, and then he slowly said something.
"So this time...did it fail again?"
"Huh?" Chen Nuo was stunned.
Sid in the bloody mirror sighed softly: "So... you still want me to say it all over again..."
He seemed to be sighing, and then asked Chen Nuo a question: "Chen Nuo...Mr. Chen Yanluo! Have you ever thought about what is wrong with this world?"
Chen Nuo's expression changed!
Chen Yanluo!
West Germany calls himself Chen Yanluo!
West Germany in 2007 knew himself from his previous life, no problem!
However, it would be impossible for West Germany in 2007 to recognize Chen Nuo now!
First of all, they look different!
"What's the difference?" Chen Nuo asked.
"First, you died, and then you were reborn." Sid smiled softly and said: "Why would a dead person come back to life and appear in another time and space? Have you ever thought about this question?
"
West Germany revealed Chen Nuo's biggest secret in just one sentence, making Chen Nuo's breath stop for a moment!
"Why are you reborn in another time and space!
Why is it 2001?
Yes, don't look at me so surprised, I know you will be reborn in 2001, yes, I know all this.
Then, why did you meet a clone of your mother on the bottom of Tokyo Bay?
Why can you kill it smoothly and get some benefits?
And, why..."
West Germany said quickly.
"Wait a minute!!" Chen Nuo interrupted West Germany's words, and then said with a wry smile: "I said it a bit fast...I didn't understand a lot of it."
"..." West Germany glanced at Chen Nuo: "Okay, let me start from the beginning."
West Germany looked at Chen Nuo in the mirror: "First of all, your name is Chen Nuo, nicknamed Yama, and you are from China. You are a strong human being at the level of a controller.
Right?"
"That's right...it was like this in my previous life." Chen Nuo simply didn't bother to deny it.
"Okay, what I'm talking about is what you call 'previous life'." West Germany seemed to be satisfied with Chen Nuo's direct admission and continued.
"In your previous life, you were Yama, the top human being, and then, after accepting an invitation from the Octopus Monster Organization, you came to the Antarctic.
At sea, you met me for the first time.
Right?"
Chen Nuo thought for a while: "That's right!"
"How much do you remember about that time?" Sid asked.
"I don't remember much." Chen Nuo shook his head.
"Okay, then let me help you recall it.
At sea, I am hunting down the true form of that octopus monster. Oh, by the way, you should know him now. The octopus monster you know assumes the identity of a human and is named Kamizou Ichiro."
"No...wait a minute! Shenzong Ichiro or something, this is a matter of this life..."
"Don't interrupt me! I will explain your question later.
Anyway, whether it’s Ichiro Kamizou or the giant octopus, it’s actually one guy, an octopus monster, is that okay?”
Chen Nuo nodded: "No problem."
"That first meeting at sea, you and a human woman named Lu Xixi."
"That's right."
"Lu Xixi is the chosen one of another seed."
Chen Nuo's mind was agitated and he had some questions (how did he know), but he suppressed it and nodded: "Yes, I call that guy the fourth seed."
Sid smiled: "It was during our fight at sea that I met you and Lu Xixi.
Then, I let you go.
It was at that time that I chose you as my chosen one!"
Chen Nuo nodded.
At this point, he was not surprised. Chen Nuo had already guessed that he was chosen by West Germany during his trip to Antarctica in his previous life.
"Lu Xixi was a little stronger than you at that time, and her talent was good enough. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that she was already someone else's choice, I might have chosen her.
But...fortunately, this coincidence is also lucky, I chose you.
Then, this world, no, I should say all the world, and you, and me...
Everything, the fate of everything changed."
Chen Nuo felt his heart beating wildly!
It's as if some memory in my heart is about to wake up.
His voice was a little hoarse, and he said slowly: "...you...go on!"
"After our first meeting at sea, I told you... you can come to Antarctica to find me. Remember?
Then, you came..."
"Wait a minute! I lost these later memories!" Chen Nuo said immediately: "Did you do it?! Did you seal my memory?! This part of the memory lasted about two years!"
"I will explain to you about erasing memories later. Now, just listen." West Germany ignored Chen Nuo's question without politeness: "I will continue!"
"In Antarctica, I mean in my previous life...
I killed the octopus monster at sea, and then I came to Antarctica.
My target is another guy.
That's the fourth seed you know.
Now let me tell you the origin of this fourth seed."
Chen Nuo stopped talking and listened quietly.
"The fourth seed is essentially no different from me, the octopus monster, and the cat.
Before, this guy had been doing the same thing as the other seeds.
He chose a person with outstanding talents among humans to be the seed, that is, the deer Xixi.
Then, suddenly one day, he got the news that he had arrived in Antarctica.
Because here in Antarctica, there is a person suspected of being a clone of the mother's body.
But that time, not only did the fourth seed come, but unexpectedly, a person also appeared.
That person is a member of the Noah's Ark organization, named Cole."
Chen Nuo immediately reacted in his heart.
Old Colo...that bastard almost trapped himself to death in Antarctica.
"The fourth seed and Kolo worked together to eliminate the mother clone here in Antarctica, and then... they were trapped here.
I can only tell you that as a seed, it is a rule violation to counterattack the mother body.
For example, in the rain forest of South America, in order to devour the maternal clone there, I paid a heavy price, made many preparations, and spent a long time... before I finally completed that thing.
There is essentially no difference between what the fourth seed did in Antarctica and what I did in the South American rainforest.
But the problem is... there was a human named Kolo beside him at the time.
After destroying the mother body, Kolo had a conflict with the fourth seed.
I don’t know what method was used, but the fourth seed deceived Colo, took his body, and escaped from Antarctica. However, after Colo’s consciousness was extracted, he stayed here as a scapegoat.
The fourth seed who escaped from Antarctica in the form of Kolo was in a very weak condition. After he returned, he could only pretend to be Kolo's identity, find a woman Kolo trusted, and get rescued.
Then, the fourth seed gave the woman a set of remains left after the other seeds died. You have also seen them, those small black and white particles."
"Well, I've seen it."
"At that time, Octopus Monster and I both made a mistake." West Germany said frankly: "We were both deceived by the fourth seed.
He transformed into Kolo, making us all think that the real fourth seed had fallen into the Antarctic.
This is an opportunity. Especially for the octopus monster.
In this competition, he was lagging behind, and I absorbed the clone of my mother in the South American rainforest.
The fourth seed found the mother clone of Antarctica.
And he fell behind.
So, he came to Antarctica.
And I am following behind."
Chen Nuo asked: "I have a question... If you don't answer, I won't be able to get through this period."
"you say."
"Why did you come to Antarctica? From what I know about you, you are not keen on killing other seeds. You are only looking for a solution to the flaw in the rules!"
When Chen Nuo said this, he suddenly thought of a possibility!
His expression changed!
In the blood mirror, West Germany's face showed a satisfied smile:
"This is why I chose you...because your ideas are always so interesting and you can immediately capture the most critical issues every time.
That’s right!
I came to Antarctica and killed the octopus monster, and I was also preparing to kill the fourth seed in Antarctica.
Because... I felt at that time that I had found the answer to the shortcomings of the rules!"
Chen Nuo whispered: "You... found 'one'??"
"Yes, I found it." West Germany replied: "So, now that I have found the answer, there is no need to keep other competitors around. I decided to completely clear the track before I evolve.
Because this track is unique and there can only be one winner.
The road to the fourth dimension requires the superposition of the three dimensions, an axis.
That axis is the only one.
So, at the last minute, I had to get rid of them."
Chen Nuo pondered for a moment: "Will you tell me your answer to solving the problem?"
"Of course, this is not a secret to you." West Germany unexpectedly gave such an answer.
Chen Nuo smiled bitterly: "I think this answer must have something to do with me?
Don’t tell me that if you devour me, you can become the ‘one’ that was lost due to flaws in evolution!
I remember it very clearly.
For seed harvesting, the selected person must wait until the selected person matures, gets some kind of breakthrough, and reaches certain conditions before harvesting can begin!
In 2007 in my previous life, I remember very clearly that my strength was not as good as it is now, and I was definitely not mature yet."
"You are right, this is also a problem that has been plaguing all our seeds for a long time.
The harvest of the chosen ones must wait for the chosen ones to mature.
But the chosen one never matures.
You are human beings. After human beings ascend to a certain level, they will inevitably die on the road to spiritual vitality and pure spiritual power.
After countless attempts, I was always blocked at the last step.
The way we dealt with it before was to look for the best among human beings, the most talented people.
But obviously...this approach is wrong."
"Then what? What is the correct answer you found?"
Sid suddenly fell silent.
Chen Nuo stared at West Germany in the mirror...
A long, long time.
West Germany spoke softly.
"At that time, I found a timid cat.
I got an interesting statement from that timid cat.
When the mother body first gave birth to us, there was a seed codenamed zero.
Zero is different from what we do.
If this is a runway...
After the competition started, the other seeds ran desperately towards the end of evolution...
And zero…
Zero is doing the opposite.
That is to say.
Maybe.
possible.
perhaps.
Zero...will run in the opposite direction to the starting line.
Then……
I suddenly figured out something.
Since we are seeds, we cannot wait for the chosen ones to mature...
We cannot devour a mature chosen one and evolve.
So……
Why not the other way around?"
Chen Nuo suddenly had all the hairs on his body standing on end!
He thought of a ridiculous possibility!
Sure enough, West Germany spoke quickly in a tone that seemed to be without any emotion.
"Why must the seeds devour the chosen ones?
Relative to the dilemma that the chosen one will never mature.
Then the seed itself is actually mature!
so……
Here I am, killing the octopus monster.
I killed the cat before I even came to Antarctica.
Meanwhile, I'm here to kill that unfortunate Kolo guy.
I waited here until that person laid out a strategy, planning to pick up the cheap fourth seed and kill it here!
Finally, I finished the answer I had in mind.
That's you.
Of course I didn't devour you, Chen Nuo.
I...let you...
Devoured me.
Then, in 2007 in your previous life.
In this place, in this hall.
I let you swallow me.
Finally, it became ‘us’.
A new ‘me’!”
There was a bang in Chen Nuo's mind! It was as if countless pieces exploded!
He covered his head with both hands, with a painful expression on his face: "I...devoured you?"
"Yes."
"Then what have I become? After devouring you, wouldn't I be..."
"Don't worry...in fact, you always have to ask such unimportant questions.
Maybe it is important for you humans to realize whose soul it is and whose soul it is.
Don't worry, if I swallow you, then you become a part of me, and your consciousness is naturally mine.
But the result is that you swallowed me...
Therefore, your consciousness is naturally still your Chen Nuo.
But, you have evolved.
For me... I don't care about the evolved consciousness, whether it's you, Chen Nuo, or me, West Germany.
What I care about is the form of life and the result of evolution!
As long as I retain even a trace element of cerebral cortex discharge in this evolved vitality, the meaning of my life will have the final result I want.
Therefore, you are still you, and your consciousness is still Chen Nuo.
And I also got the result I wanted: evolution!"
After a pause... Sid's tone suddenly became weird: "... maybe."
Chen Nuo looked at West Germany with wide eyes: "Maybe?
What's the meaning?
What you mean is...evolution hasn’t succeeded yet?”
West Germany smiled bitterly: "If it had been completely successful, we wouldn't be here having such a conversation at this moment."
After a pause, he shook his head: "There was a mistake, a small mistake."
