The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"This book is so miraculous?" Sylvia re-entered the conference hall and took out the book, flipped through it carefully, and said with a puzzled expression.

Not only Sylvia was puzzled, but even Leo was puzzled, because he couldn't understand what happened just now.

More than a dozen people were revived in front of them, and returned to their youth, and the entire turret changed from ruins back to an intact state in an instant before their eyes. The whole process happened so fast that Leo couldn't find any clues to explain it. phenomenon.

Leo can only guess that this may be related to the abnormal force that appeared in the castle just now and connected all irrelevant items such as knights, abyss monsters, horn castles, and books. That force is what caused this phenomenon s reason.

When Leo was also thinking, Sylvia suddenly took off the heart spar of the Abyss Demon, handed it to Leo, and said, "Look at this"

Leo took a look at the thing, and was stunned for a while, because he saw that the spar transformed by the heart of the abyss lord turned into a phenomenon of transformation, not only the color turned into blood red, but even some harmony appeared on the surface. The symbol of the original power of the abyss has been practiced again, and the power contained in it has also increased a lot, or more correctly, it has recovered the power it should have.

Undoubtedly, if this Abyssal Demon hadn't been tempered into a spar, maybe the heart of the Abyssal Demon has started to change again due to the recovery of power.

Leo carefully checked the heart of the Abyssal Demon, and after confirming that there was no abnormality in the restrictions he arranged, he returned the things to Sylvia and said, "What happened just now has also had an effect on this Abyssal Demon's heart. , this heart should also be part of the items in the corner castle, it should also be affected by the power just now, and it has transformed back to its original state."

"What happened just now?" Sylvia took the heart spar and put it on her neck again, still asking in confusion.

Leo replied with a wry smile, "I don't know what happened either."

"Even you don't know?" Sylvia was taken aback.

"I don't know what's so strange. There are too many mysterious things in this world. Naturally, I can't know everything." Leo smiled, then took the book from Sylvia's hand, flipping through it quickly After a while, he looked at the skin again, and said, "Even the pages of the book have become new, but the degree of change is limited, and the wear and tear in some places has not changed. This..."

As he said that, he seemed to have some inspiration and fell into deep thought.

Sylvia on the side didn't bother him either, and stood quietly by the side.

After a while, Leo recovered from his contemplation and said, "The situation just now is somewhat similar to reading the archive."

"Read the archive?" Sylvia couldn't understand what Leo said.

"How should I explain this?" Although it is very simple to read the meaning of the archive, it is still very difficult to explain it to Sylvia who is familiar with the technology of cosmic civilization and make her understand, so Leo thought for a while, then changed the concept, and said: "This is somewhat similar to Wan Guoqi's closing chess. When the chess pieces on the chessboard reach a certain level, record the layout of the chess pieces on the chessboard, and try again next time. Start from this chess seal record, or all future chess games can be restarted from this seal chess record regardless of whether they are played or not."

Hearing this, Sylvia seemed to understand what Leo wanted to express, and said, "You mean the current state of this corner castle, the state of this book, the state of the heart of the Abyssal Demon, and the state of those half-blood knights?" The state is all a chess record, and they just returned to the original state of the chess record from the state of the chess game that had already played part of the game."

"Yes." Leo nodded.

"How did they do it?" Sylvia repeated the confusion in her heart.

"I don't know." Leo shook his head and said, "But it should have nothing to do with this book."

"Is there nothing to do?" Sylvia frowned and said, "But what they did just now seems to have nothing to do with it. This book seems to be a very important item. Their prayers and ceremonies are all in Going forward to this book, isn't that enough to say that this book is important?"

"On the surface, it looks like this." Leo walked to the center of the square while talking, then stood there and looked around, and said: "But if we think about it in a different direction, what strange objects, what Rituals and abyssal creatures are not the key elements for everything to return to the original state, so this phenomenon may be able to be explained."

Sylvia couldn't understand what Leo wanted to say more and more. In her opinion, if everything around her had nothing to do with the phenomenon just now as Leo said, it would be even more difficult to explain. That's right, how could there be a way to explain this clueless phenomenon?

In fact, Sylvia didn't know that the explanation that Leo thought of was not what he thought of at all, but the explanation of some similar cases by the scientists of the cosmic civilization in his memory database.

The subspace is very mysterious and disordered. Even the civilizations of the universe at that time did not fully grasp the various magical phenomena and energies that appeared in the subspace, not even one in ten thousand.

Therefore, almost all civilizations in the universe that have the ability to enter the subspace will set up a recorder on each subspace spacecraft to record various phenomena in the subspace. This recorder is usually a half-human, half-mechanical psychic.

Among the various events recorded by these recorders, there is an event called taking pictures that is very similar to what happened just now.

When the spacecraft is flying in the subspace, there will be a layer of energy force field on the surface of the spacecraft to resist the erosion of the disordered energy of the subspace, so as to ensure that the cosmic life forms entering the subspace will not be affected by the energy of the subspace. Break through this energy force field in a short time and directly impact the spaceship body. At this time, various unexplainable subspace phenomena will appear.

For example, take a family portrait of a spaceship and all the life forms on it, produced by a subspace photo studio, and keep this image in the subspace forever. Once the spaceship or life that left the subspace image re-enters the subspace, there will be There is a certain chance of triggering the photo retrospective phenomenon, which is the state at the moment when those people or objects will transform and leave an image.

If the person is a young man when the image is left, then no matter how old he is when the retrospective is triggered, he will return to the state of youth. If the image is left intact and the spaceship is intact, then even if the spaceship was damaged before the retrospective, As long as all parts are complete, it will also return to its original complete form.

Although this kind of thing sounds very good, for ordinary people, this is simply rejuvenation, but for some people, this kind of thing is very unlucky.

For example, some people were ordinary people before leaving subspace images, and later became psykers, and even broke through the limit of life and became Omega-level advanced life forms. Unstoppable transformation back to the original normal state.

There are also some unborn fetuses when the images are left, so when they encounter the retrogression phenomenon, they will also become fetuses.

This miraculous phenomenon has been recorded by many recorders, and the Supreme Council of the universe has also carefully studied its mystery, but the result is still fruitless. What is the reason to trigger the photo backtracking.

Relevant information is also recorded in Leo's database. Although this is not the most mysterious and weird among the various mysterious phenomena in the subspace, it is because this phenomenon involves time in the basic physical laws of the subspace. Disordered state, so the cases related to it are also highlighted, which makes it much easier for Leo to find.

Leo then expressed the information he found as far as possible in terms that Sylvia could understand.

Although Sylvia still didn't know much about what Leo said, she had roughly understood what Leo meant, and said: "This means that those half-blood knights and everything in this corner castle were made in a special way." It’s something like a photo taken in a newspaper, and as long as they trigger a certain key point, they can go back to the state when they took the photo.”

"Yes, that's what I mean." Leo nodded.

"Then we were also in the corner castle just now. Could it be that we were also photographed?" Sylvia asked curiously again.

Leo froze for a moment, he hadn't thought of this question, but now that Sylvia reminded him, he couldn't help thinking about whether he was also photographed just now.

It's just that there is no trace of this kind of thing at all, and even if they take pictures, they don't know how to stimulate this phenomenon.

After thinking about it for a while, Leo stopped thinking about it and said, "I can't figure it out either, but we don't have to think too much about it, we just need to ask those half-blood knights. People have left marks on their bodies, and after finishing their business, go to them and ask them."

Sylvia also nodded in agreement with Leo's proposal.

After making a decision, the two of them withdrew from the corner castle. They didn't know whether it was a psychological effect or a real change in their bodies. The moment they walked out of the gate of the corner castle, they felt that their bodies seemed to relax a lot, as if It's as if something superfluous in the body has been pulled out.

If only one person has such a feeling, they may think it is just an illusion, but if two people feel this way at the same time, it is enough to prove that this is not an illusion. After what happened just now, they have really received some influence, just temporarily Whether this effect is good or bad is not known.

The corner fortress did not disappear because of Leo and Sylvia's departure, it still stood beside the swamp lake, the traces on the wall were still clearly visible, and the surrounding scenery was no different from before they entered the corner fortress, even on the ground. There are traces left by their previous trampling, which means that when they were in the corner fort, the time outside did not speed up or reverse.

If it took several years to pass in and out like No. 9 on Golden Oak Street, the two of them might feel very headache.

The two didn't stay here any longer, and quickly identified their location, and walked towards the railroad track again. They didn't plan to find their own way, but chose to walk along the railroad track, so as to avoid getting lost.

Not long after the two left the corner fort, an earthquake suddenly appeared inexplicably. A crack drilled out of the swamp lake and passed directly through the corner fort. The gap was so big that it swallowed the corner fort and the swamp lake easily. The surrounding land was also pulled and rolled up toward the gap, and the earthquake gap was quickly refilled, but at this moment, the corner fort and swamp lake also disappeared, leaving only a mess.

Although Leo and Sylvia had already walked a long way at this moment, they could still feel the vibration of the ground and judge the location of the earthquake through the frequency of the vibration.

"The corner fortress has disappeared!" Leo's mental net scanned the location of the earthquake, and also found the situation of the swamp lake before, so he told Sylvia.

Sylvia was stunned when she heard the words, and said, "Accident, or man-made?"

"It's an accident for the time being." Leo didn't find any traces of man-made spells. If the earthquake was really man-made, there must be a lot of abnormal energy fluctuations around, and he didn't feel any abnormalities, but he also couldn't Surely it was natural, because it happened so coincidentally, right at the time of their departure, that it seemed like a deliberate arrangement.

Although Sylvia didn't see the situation of the swamp lake with her own eyes, she still instinctively felt that it didn't happen naturally, but now Leo couldn't find anything unusual, even if she saw it with her own eyes, she definitely wouldn't be able to find anything clues, so she didn't propose to go back and have a look.

Then the two quickly moved towards the southern holy mountain along the railway. Although the wind and rain did not weaken much, the speed of the two was still very fast. Some areas that needed to bypass the mountains, Leo always took Hill Via flew over together, and I don't know if they were moving too fast, or the steam train needed to slow down in some areas. In short, after walking for more than an hour, the two caught up with the previous one. He boarded the train again, and returned to the driver's exclusive compartment behind the front of the train.

The reappearance of Leo and Sylvia undoubtedly startled the train driver who was resting in the carriage. After he returned to the carriage from the locomotive, he didn't see Leo and Sylvia, thinking it was when the monster attacked the train before. What happened to the two of them, this kind of thing often happened on this train, so he didn't care about it, he could only think that Leo and Sylvia were unlucky, or that a beautiful woman like Sylvia would It's a pity to die in the attack of monsters like this.

However, what he didn't expect was that the two people he thought had died reappeared. He didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only watch Leo and Sylvia sitting back in the previous seat. In the position, some wet clothes are being baked.
