After the game, Xia Chen and Mi Ling had nothing to say.
The main reason was the language barrier, so Xia Chen still used telepathy to ask Mi Ling many questions.
for example--
"If you don't have sunshine, what will you do with your most basic survival guarantee?"
"When the ultimate alien beast invades, will you purely use thermal weapons to fight the enemy? Or will you use laser swords?"
"Why didn't your world give birth to a profession like trainer even before the Dark Age?"
And so on.
Rather than asking questions, Xia Chen seemed more like talking to himself, because these questions obviously couldn't be answered by simply nodding and shaking his head.
People on the streets of the metropolis often cast strange glances at Xia Chen, who was following behind Mi Ling and whose skin color was obviously very different from the locals.
Occasionally, people who are familiar with Mi Ling will talk to her. During the chat, their eyes will still look at Xia Chen from time to time.
Obviously, the topic they were talking about revolved around this visitor from another world.
Xia Chen didn't have stage fright, and sometimes he would take the initiative to smile at them, which made some people from the metropolitan area look embarrassed.
He further confirmed through this that the human beings in this world, both externally and internally, can be called the "other self" of human beings on earth.
After all, the metropolis was not really that big. Xia Chen estimated that the area was about the same as his own Yuanling Island. In ten minutes, he followed Mi Ling to the Metropolis Tower.
As the last tower of hope for mankind in the ultimate world, the level of defense here is obviously a higher level.
Gu Ledun, a big guy who looked dangerous, was asked not to enter. Xia Chen thought about it and realized that his current superpowers were close to the level of a king. He was enough to protect himself, so he took back his personal bodyguard Gu Ledun.
Hit the ball.
Several metropolitan people who witnessed this scene were dumbfounded. The Poke Ball, a common thing in the original world, was actually a black technology in the Ultimate World.
Following Mi Ling to the top of the Metropolis Tower, Xia Chen met the leader of this city of hope, the chairman of the Ultimate Metropolis Management Council, Sionila.
A middle-aged man with two beautiful mustaches.
Xia Chen also has some impressions of Sionila, who serves as the captain of the ultimate investigation team in the game.
Together, these guys later took the lead and ran to the Alola region?
I don’t know how much higher this level is than Zhang Beihai, the fugitive faction in Three-Body Problem...
Thinking of this, Xia Chen started to respect the somewhat funny-looking middle-aged man in front of him.
…………
"Welcome, guests from another world."
Thanks to having just collected enough information about Xia Chen in the game, Sionila now only needs to use a convenient simultaneous interpretation tool to communicate with Xia Chen.
Xia Chen nodded, without much greeting, and directly placed an empty Ultimate Ball on the table and said, "Let's be more direct. Mi Ling must have already communicated my demands to you, right?"
Xionila put away the brand new ultimate ball, and without any nonsense, she slid her finger on the table, and a light blue virtual light screen appeared in front of Xia Chen.
He couldn't understand the text on it, but the images and numbers were very clear. This was an electronic map of the ultimate world.
Xia Chen noticed that there were several thumbnail images of ultimate alien beasts in the lower right corner of the light screen. He tentatively clicked on the paper sword, and then the electronic map changed into a distribution map of the paper sword.
"The green dot is where we are, which is the ultimate metropolis, and what is rendered in red is the distribution area of the paper sword."
Xiongnila said: "The darker the color, the more paper swords in the area and the stronger the strength."
Xia Chen nodded clearly, and then scanned the distribution map. According to this rule, the paper sword that can cut the ultimate hole is most likely to be found in a valley in the northeast.
Before the advent of the Dark Age, it was also called Yujian Valley, which sounded quite martial arts-like.
Xia Chen did not take a closer look, but asked: "Can this thing... be transferred to my mobile phone Rotom?"
Xionila was stunned for a moment and asked: "What is Cell Phone Rotom?"
Only then did Xia Chen remember that there was no Rotom in the ultimate world. He took out his mobile phone and showed Rotom, thought about it, and briefly introduced: "It's probably...a smart communication device inhabited by electronic ghosts?
"
Xionila played with it for a while and said with a smile: "I almost understand it. This electronic ghost is more interesting than the artificial intelligence we developed, but the hardware is a bit outdated and is similar to the antiques collected in our museum."
Xia Chen was speechless. His world's most advanced smartphone was evaluated as an antique...Okay, who told you that your technology tree is high?
"If you need it, I can help you transform it."
Xionila suddenly said: "I dare not say too much, but at least...it can make Rotom's carrier jump from the museum level to the previous generation."
Xia Chen heard it interesting and nodded: "Okay, thank you in advance. How long will the transformation take?"
Sionela replied: "At least three to five days. The guests can stay in the metropolis first. It just so happens that we can also study the Ultra Ball in these few days. If there is anything I don't understand, I hope you can answer it."
Answer? I didn’t invent the Ultimate Ball...
Although he complained like this in his heart, Xia Chen still agreed.
Although he didn't understand the knowledge of making Poké Balls, Rotom, who had countless knowledge stored in his mind, did.
…………
After reaching most of the deals, Xia Chen calmed down and asked the most critical question.
"Then, another question is, have you ever seen a human being from another world like me?"
To put it bluntly, this is the reason why he came to the ultimate world - to find his parents who disappeared in the ultimate world five years ago.
Of course, if you can, take Lillie's father, Dr. Morn, back with you.
First of all, you must find out where they are now.
Xionila had received Mi Ling's message before, so he was prepared for this question. After thinking for a moment, he replied: "Before you, the last time there was a record of visitors from other worlds coming to Metropolis, it was about
He died thirty years ago and has been dead for many years."
Xia Chen's heart sank suddenly.
Thirty years ago... there is no way it could have been my parents or Morn, unless there was a situation like time and space turbulence that jumped the timeline.
But if this is the case, doesn't it mean that they have... passed away?
To die in a foreign land without any relatives is... a good ending?
Just as Xia Chen's chaotic thoughts were swirling, Sionila said again: "By the way, we still have some video data, do you want to take a look?"
Xia Chen didn't know what kind of thoughts he had when he nodded. He was worried, expecting, or perhaps couldn't bear it.
In short, these complicated emotions dissipated instantly after seeing that the man in the video had nothing to do with his parents.
No...fortunately it's not.
But if not, does that mean they have lived in the ultimate world for five years without external objects?
Can this really be done?
Xia Chen couldn't bear to think about it. Reason told him that this was impossible, but emotionally, he was looking forward to that faint ray of hope.
Perhaps sensing Xia Chen's emotions, Sionila hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually... that's just the information about visitors from other worlds who came to the ultimate metropolis. There are actually very few people like this, because the metropolis
As for this world, it’s just a drop in the ocean, and the person you’re looking for may not necessarily be in some places I don’t know.”
As if to confirm the leader's point of view, Mi Ling on the side nodded and said: "Yes, I remember that there were records of human beings observed in the 132nd out-of-city survey conducted by the survey team two years ago."
Xia Chen was stunned for a moment, "...investigation outside the city? What is that?"
Mi Ling smiled slightly and said: "Because of the existence of the ultimate beast, we are humiliating ourselves like caged birds in this city surrounded by high-rise buildings. Investigation outside the city... can be regarded as our last struggle, seeking a trace of hope in the exploration.
This is probably the hope of saving the world."
Why does it smell so strongly of the Survey Corps...
Xia Chen complained slightly in her heart, but still focused on the human observation records of the investigation outside the city that she mentioned earlier.
"You just said that there are records of human activity outside Metropolis? Can you elaborate on that?"
Mi Ling thought for a while and replied: "I can ask Amamo for you. She was the one who led the team in that out-of-city investigation."
Xia Chen tried his best to calm down the fluctuations in his heart, nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll trouble you."
…………
After all, the metropolis was very small. After a while, a girl named Amamo came here.
This girl looks to be at most 1.5 meters tall. She wears a pair of orange-red braids, and her sickly pale face is as delicate and beautiful as a porcelain doll.
The girl's curious eyes glanced at Xia Chen, then rested on Sionela and Mi Ling, "Chairman, Captain, are you looking for me?"
Mi Ling nodded and said, "I remember that you had contact with visitors from other worlds during your investigation outside the city two years ago? Can you describe the situation in detail?"
Amamo didn't seem to expect that Mi Ling would ask about this matter. She thought about it for a while before slowly speaking: "There is such a thing, but it is not a contact. It is just an observation that we were there at that time.
The Sea of Nothingness is investigating, and those two humans... must have been parasitized by Xuwuide."
Two years ago...two humans...Xuwuide!
As Amamo narrated, Xia Chen's heart beat faster and faster.
These key factors are all right!
When dealing with the invasion of the ultimate alien beasts, Xia Chen had a detailed discussion with Lusamine.
In the past five years, only three humans have entered the Ultimate Cave, his parents, and Morn.
So there is a high probability that these two people are his parents!
And if it was really them, it would not be impossible to survive in that environment for three years and two more years to survive until now!
Xia Chen suddenly thought of something and asked: "I want to ask, what will happen to the humans who are parasitized by Xuwuid?"
Mi Ling replied: "Xuwuide possesses a special neurotoxin, which they will pass through their tentacles to humans or elves who choose to be parasitic."
"It is not accurate to say that it is parasitism, but symbiosis is more appropriate, because as long as the host and Xuwuid establish a connection, there will be a symbiotic relationship."
Xia Chen thought thoughtfully and said: "In other words, if Xuwu Yi De is not dead, the people it parasitizes will be fine?"
Mi Ling nodded and said: "Yes, although the parasitized person will lose consciousness and become weak due to neurotoxins, there will be no life-threatening danger unless the host is abandoned."
Mi Ling's introduction made Xia Chen let out a long sigh of relief.
This may be the only way for humans from that world to survive here, but they happened upon it by chance.
No, there is one more thing that needs to be confirmed before that. Will "they" be "them"?
…………
Xia Chen suddenly asked: "Excuse me, do you have any video data from that time?"
Amamo shook her head, "No, I was in a hurry to return, so I just took a quick look. Because I seemed to have seen a human being, I was quite impressed."
Xia Chen sighed, "Okay, can you ask me the specific location? I can just go find it myself."
Amamo looked strange, "You go by yourself? There are tens of thousands of Xuwuids living there. It's too dangerous... Our investigation team doesn't dare to go too deep."
Xia Chen smiled slightly. He didn't resent Amamo's questioning. To a certain extent, this could be regarded as concern in disguise. He comforted him: "Don't worry, I'm strong."
After thinking for a while, he added: "My partner is very strong."
Amamo became even more confused. Her dark eyes rolled around for several times but she couldn't find any companions beside Xia Chen——
Humans in this world have never thought of being able to fight side by side with elves.
At the critical moment, it was Cionilla who spoke, "I remember that the next investigation outside the city will be in a few days, right?"
Mi Ling was startled for a moment, and then said: "Yes, Chairman, the 138th out-of-city investigation will be in five days."
Xiongnila nodded and said: "Okay, you can go together this time and take this guy with you."
Amamo understood what the chairman meant. He wanted the investigation team to take this visitor from another world to the Sea of Nothingness to find someone?
She immediately refused: "No, this is too risky. The Sea of Nothingness is not something we can conquer at all. We lost three team members there during that investigation!"
Xia Chen said softly: "It's okay, Miss Amamo, you just need to take me to the place, and I will do the rest by myself."
Amamo obviously wanted to say something more. Xia Chen looked into her eyes and said seriously: "Really, I am very strong. I am stronger than all of you put together."
The man's tone was so firm and unquestionable, as if he was stating the truth "The sun rises in the east and sets in the west."
Amamo was silent, but finally compromised and nodded, saying: "I understand, I will take you there when the time comes."
Xia Chen smiled slightly, "In that case, I would like to thank you first... Whether you believe it now or not, I promise that I will do my best to protect you during this investigation outside the city."
Ama Moxu glanced at Xia Chen and felt that this guy, apart from anything else, looked really classy.
