The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"What is this place?" Leo looked at a nine-story building built with complete white wall stones in front of him, his eyes swept over the badge at the door of the building, and asked suspiciously.

The group of them followed the light traces left by using the riot halo all the way to a building in the center of Baicheng District. Opposite is the City Council Municipal Building, and not far away is the Star of the Sea Square. Around the square are the churches and shrines of several other churches, as well as the City Council House. This can be said to be the power center of St. Paulia Port.

However, at the entrance of the main entrance of such a nine-story building, there is no nameplate indicating the ownership of the building. There is only a metal badge resembling a shield on the front entrance. The pattern on this badge is very simple. Separately connected gears and flames.

The pattern on the badge is not too esoteric, it can be understood at a glance, the leaf represents nature, the gear represents civilization, and the flame represents faith, but I don’t know what these things together represent, at least in the materials Leo remembered, No organization or force in this world has such a badge.

"Just find someone to ask." Sylvia grabbed a passerby and asked, "Do you know which institution this building belongs to?"

The pedestrian who was pulled was very angry at first, but after seeing Sylvia, his anger dissipated immediately, but after hearing Sylvia's inquiry, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, and he looked at Sylvia. Sylvia's eyes also seemed to be looking at a lunatic.

Sylvia could easily see through this passerby's obvious emotions. She showed a little displeasure and said, "Answer what I ask, don't talk nonsense!"

The pedestrian curled his lips and said, "Ma'am, I really want to answer your question, but only if I have such a building in front of me."

Sylvia and Leo were both stunned after hearing this, and then Leo confirmed: "Can't you see a nine-story building in front of you?"

The pedestrian didn't answer Leo's question, but just looked at Leo and Sylvia blankly, then shook his head, turned and walked away.

Although the pedestrian did not answer, his expression and behavior had already clearly told the answer to the two of them.

At this time, Penny looked at Leo and Sylvia in confusion, and asked, "Teacher, ma'am, what building are you talking about?"

"Can't you see a building here?" Leo asked the same question to Penny.

Petunia shook her head and said, "There are only the Temple of Spring Water and the Temple of Warsong, and there are no other buildings here."

Hearing Penny's words, both Leo and Sylvia understood that only the two of them could see the building in front of them. As for the others, they seemed to turn a blind eye to this building, and maybe even the surrounding churches were also unaware of the building. There is also such a striking building.

Regarding this phenomenon, Leo and Sylvia instantly thought of the young couple. Although the young couple could not completely hide it like this building, it could also affect the cognition of the people around them, making them People can't help ignoring them, just like the pedestrians on this street ignore this building.

"Do you know how this is caused?" Sylvia said with some doubts: "I can't feel any abnormal power around me."

Leo said with a serious expression: "Of course there is no abnormal power. This is not caused by powers such as magic or witchcraft, but technology, a technology of advanced civilization."

Leo couldn't explain the situation in front of him, because he didn't know what caused this phenomenon, but he had heard of similar techniques.

In the universe, there are always some advanced civilizations who prefer to develop themselves rather than communicate with other civilizations, so these advanced civilizations have invented various technologies to hide themselves.

It is rumored that an advanced civilization even invented a technology based on the laws of the universe to erase its entire civilization from the cognition of all living things in the universe. Even the ancient Omega-level advanced life forms of the Supreme Council of the universe cannot avoid this. A kind of cognitive erasure at the level of law.

However, those ancient existences are very powerful after all, and some are strong enough to counter the basic laws of the universe and distort the origin of the universe, so their cognition cannot be completely erased, and there will always be some impressions left, and these impressions make that advanced civilization be recorded , but the content of the record cannot be fully understood by people due to the power of the law of the universe, so whether that higher civilization exists is always a vague rumor.

Although the current situation of this building cannot be compared with that advanced civilization completely erasing itself from the cognition of the universe, the effects of both are similar, except that one is powerful enough to fill the entire universe, while the other is just In an area, the affected people are also much weaker, like Leo and Sylvia, after having cognitive doubts, they are no longer affected.

Just as Leo and Sylvia were discussing what to do next, the door of the building opened automatically.

Leo and Sylvia looked at the door at the same time, and an empty and quiet hall came into their eyes. In addition, there was no light in the hall, and all the light came from the stones on the floor, walls, and dome. A metal cylinder in the center of the hall is particularly eye-catching.

"What's that?" Sylvia asked.

"Navigator." Leo quickly gave a clear answer this time.

Leo used French, and in French, a word similar to a navigator is the navigator of an ocean-going vessel, so after hearing this word, Sylvia couldn't help thinking that the metal cylinder was on the ground. The scene of navigating on the sailing observation deck made me laugh out loud.

Leo knew why Sylvia was laughing, and he didn't have any further thoughts on explaining, because his current thoughts were all on the special device called the Navigator in front of him.

This device, Leo, has only been seen in the images of the teaching data, and has never seen the real thing, because there is only one place in the universe that has this thing, and that place is the star field where the Supreme Council of the universe is located.

Because the Supreme Council of the universe gathered most of the Omega-level advanced life forms in the universe, these advanced life forms are also the most powerful existence in the universe, and the energy possessed by each life form can easily destroy a galaxy, and these life forms Even if the body deliberately restrains its own energy, and even relies on the special technology of advanced civilization to control the dissipation of energy, it still cannot completely shield the energy emitted by these life forms.

These dissipated energies will not dissipate, but gather in the star field where the supreme council of the universe is located. After countless years of accumulation, it has formed a terrifying energy that cannot be measured by the most powerful energy detectors of advanced civilizations in the universe. These terrifying energies wander in this star field, forming deadly dead zones one by one. Any visitor from civilization rushing into this star field, even a high-tech interstellar spaceship, cannot resist these energies. Represents the energy of the universal law of destruction.

Therefore, any civilization that visits the Supreme Council of the universe must invite a navigator to board its spaceship at the edge of the star field to guide itself.

Although the navigator looks like a robot made by a certain technological civilization, he is actually an intelligent race. An original planet was destroyed due to a cosmic disaster, and he was brought to the highest council of the universe by an omega-level advanced life form. alien race.

The navigator race itself is very fragile, but they have a magical ability, that is, they can easily find a safe route in any dangerous star field in the universe, and help the spacecraft pass through that area smoothly.

It is precisely because of this ability that the Supreme Council of the Universe allowed the Navigator race to settle on several planets at the edge of the Star Field of the Supreme Council of the Universe, and was responsible for guiding the spaceships here to pass through the dangerous zone of the Star Field.

Now, a navigator appeared in the building in front of him, which caused various associations in Leo's mind.

Perhaps after seeing the door open, Leo and the others didn't make any moves to go in. The navigator waiting in the hall inside the door got a little impatient, and his cumbersome body floated slightly, gliding across the ground, and moved to the door. Then he said to Leo and Sylvia in the common language of the universe: "The master is already waiting for you upstairs, please don't waste the master's time."

After speaking, he turned around and slid back to his previous position.

Because the navigator uses the lingua franca of the universe, only Leo can understand it. He thought for a while, and said to Sylvia who was waiting for an explanation: "Let's go! Go in and see what's going on?"

Seeing that Leo had already made a decision, Sylvia didn't ask any more questions, and pulled Penny who still didn't understand what happened, followed Leo and walked into the building.

At the beginning, Penny still looked flustered, because in her eyes, there was a wall in front of her, and Leo, who was walking in front, disappeared instantly when she touched the wall, and she and Sylvia were about to Hit the wall.

But soon the panic expression on her face was replaced by surprise and curiosity, because when she thought she had hit the wall, the scene in front of her eyes changed instantly and turned into a simple and solemn hall, and the center of the hall It is a metal cylinder that looks a little weird.

"Please follow me." After Leo entered the hall, the navigator said to him, and then led the way, walking towards an arch across the hall.

"Don't ask too many questions, just follow." Leo said to Sylvia and Penny behind him, and then followed.

When the navigator reached the arch, an energy force field was emitted from the arch, forming a space crack in the middle of the arch. The navigator didn't say much, and directly drilled into the crack.

Leo hesitated a little before the space rift, but walked in anyway, followed by Sylvia and Penny.

After the three of them walked through the crack, they came to an empty hall with a huge dome. The floor of the hall was not a white wall stone, but a cosmic starry sky. The three of them and the previous navigator were suspended in the air in a weightless state.

Although the cosmic galaxy scene under his feet has some extremely obvious astronomical features, Leo was unable to find any corresponding content in the galaxy knowledge in his database, which made him guess that the starry sky under his feet was either the Earth Federation at that time. There are no unknown galaxies on record, or this starry sky scene is a patchwork of various galaxies.

As for why it is not the star field where the supreme council of the universe is located, it is because the star field where the supreme council of the universe is located has very obvious characteristics, and anyone can easily identify it.

"Master, they brought it." The navigator floating in the air moved to a double-helix galaxy in front of him, and transmitted a piece of information through a special spiritual frequency.

Because this mental frequency is public, even if Leo and Sylvia don't react, they can still sense the vague content of this message.

Afterwards, they saw a light emanating from the singularity in the middle of the miniature double-helix galaxy, which made the entire galaxy brighten up for a moment, and then returned to normal.

After that, there was no abnormality for a while, and the surroundings became a little silent, and neither Leo nor Silvia understood what was going on.

Just when they wanted to ask, the navigator moved towards them again, and while moving, he complained: "I don't like this approach very much, can you change a navigator next time, T8951B is very suitable, He really likes to connect with people in this way."

As the navigator moved in front of Leo and the others, his tone returned to normal, explaining: "The master can't make a sound like a human being, and the master's consciousness is too strong, which cannot be tolerated by non-omega-level advanced life forms. The two of you need to use me to understand what the master is saying." As he spoke, he saw two joint-like wires protruding from his metal body, moving towards the foreheads of Leo and Sylvia, and said at the same time: " This is a spiritual interface, please don't act too aggressively, that human cub is too weak, even with me as a relay shielding device, it can't resist the owner's ray of light, it's best to keep the status quo."

Although Leo only learned about all this from the knowledge base, he also knew what the navigator was going to do, and he was also curious about it. While signaling Sylvia not to worry, he took the initiative to contact the spiritual interface extended by the navigator.

Because the envoys sent by various civilizations in the universe to the Supreme Council of the universe are not all powerful psykers or owners of other cosmic energies, most of them are ordinary races, and even some special civilized races are physically and mentally stronger than ordinary people. All races are weak.

These messengers face countless Omega-level advanced life forms whose dissipated energy exceeds that of a star. Even if they are at the edge of the star field, they are easily blown away by the energy winds of these supreme beings as dust.

Therefore, the navigators who are entrusted with the mission of navigation by many members of the highest council of the universe are given some extremely special abilities, one of which is the ability to allow the messengers of the civilized races they serve to perfectly disguise themselves as Omega-level advanced life forms through spiritual interfaces body.

This state is undoubtedly an indescribable miraculous state, especially for those psykers who have reached a high level of psychic power, experiencing a disguised Omega-level high-level life form will undoubtedly make their future evolution a lot less Detours, and even allow them to effectively predict their future achievements.
