The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Detachment?" Sylvia, after listening to Leo's speculation about the Church of the In-place and the official name of the secret organization, had a thoughtful look on her face, and said in a deep voice, "Where am I?" Have you ever seen that name?"

"Have you seen this name?" Leo was a little surprised, because in his memory, he has read every book that Sylvia has read in this world. It is impossible that Sylvia has seen this name, but he cannot be found in the database.

"Let me think about it." Sylvia closed her eyes slightly and recalled it carefully, and soon a look of surprise appeared on her face, as if she had thought of something incredible, and then she heard her Said: "I know where I saw the name, it's a surprise, do you remember that big laboratory we built in New Porto?"

Leo nodded slightly.

Sylvia continued: "Before we left, I signed a funding application for an experimental project. The name of the experimental project was the Transcendence Project, and the content of the experiment was to improve the Ability God Cell according to the new plan you came up with. Implantation methods and raw materials for making alien cells."

Hearing Sylvia's words, Leo couldn't help being stunned, then he seemed to think of something, took out a piece of paper, quickly drew a symbol on the paper, and said: "This is the badge of the Transcendence Organization, Have you seen it?"

Sylvia took a look at the badge, recognized it instantly, and said, "This is the marking badge of the thirteenth laboratory. In the application report, I have approved this laboratory for use by the detached people. "

Leo couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, he didn't expect his investigation to find himself in the end, which also reminded him that when he checked the implant in Joan's body, he found that many details of the implant were so Deja vu, at that time, I only thought that these details were similar to the Ability God Cell, so I would have that feeling of acquaintance. Now I carefully recall this sense of acquaintance, and perhaps it is more of an improvement in his Ability God Cell manufacturing method.

"What's going on?" Sylvia looked at Leo and asked, "Why is the badge of our laboratory the badge of this world's underground organization?"

Leo suppressed the smile on his face, and explained: "This is very simple. The founder of this underground organization called Transcendent probably came from the world of Velen, and he is someone in charge of the Transcendent's experimental project."

Sylvia said with some doubts: "But this superhuman organization seems to have been established for hundreds or thousands of years. The supernatural research project was approved by us before we left. It has been less than two years now, how is it possible... "

Leo said: "Of course it is possible. Don't forget, I once said that the time between Velen's world and this world is out of order. The Belmont family in this world is an example."

"But the time of the Belmont family is just a difference in flow rate!" Sylvia was still a little puzzled, and said: "But now this person is the future of the Velen world, back to the past of this world, even the Belmont family In the past before coming to this world, a secret organization was established, which is different from the situation of the Belmont family."

"It's the same in essence, but the way of expression is different," Leo couldn't explain it to Sylvia in a more professional sentence, because it involved too much knowledge, even if it took a lifetime Clear, so he gave another example and said: "Do you still remember the thing I mentioned that the descendant from the future became a god in front of me? That thing should be the same as the current situation."

Sylvia pondered for a moment, wondering if she had figured it out, she didn't continue the discussion, and instead asked more realistic questions, saying: "Since we already know the origin of this secret organization, what should we do next? How do you find them?"

Leo thought for a while and said, "We don't need to take the initiative, they should come to contact us."

Afterwards, Leo continued to organize and summarize all kinds of knowledge he gained from the forbidden books in the big library.

Although his main purpose of going to the Great Library of the Fourth District was to find information about the Church of the In-place, he was also interested in the various secrets recorded in other forbidden books. Everything is important, because many of these forbidden books contain information related to the origin of this world, which also involves the mysteries of the gods.

For example, there is a forbidden book called The Mirror Myth. This book is a collection of bedside stories. The content is very simple. One day, the author entered a mysterious cave. When he was in front of the mirror, what was reflected in the mirror was not his face, but images full of mysterious things. Although he couldn't understand the words in the images, he still roughly estimated that based on the details in the images. The things that the images want to tell, and then he compiled the various things shown into stories, and finally compiled such a collection of bedside stories.

The reason why this story collection will be banned is mainly because the image in the mirror shows the story of how humans came to this world and how to transform this desolate world into a suitable place for human habitation through some very mysterious and powerful tools environment.

These stories completely negated the theory of the origin of the world created by the gods in most churches, so shortly after this collection of stories was published, it was listed as a banned book, and all of them were recycled and destroyed. The believers caught it, put it on the fire, and burned it to death.

Because this book does not have any mysterious power, and the content does not have too much anti-ecclesiastical content, even if it is a banned book, this book is only placed on the ordinary banned books shelf at the bottom of the library.

However, in Leo's eyes, the useful information revealed in this book far exceeds most banned books, because two important information are revealed in this book. One important information is that he wrote based on the image displayed in the mirror Those stories are just some absurd or magical stories to others, but in Leo's eyes, those stories are clearly the daily life of a colony fleet transforming a planet, and the magical items mentioned in the stories are all colonists daily machinery, which proved Leo's previous guess that this world should be a colony planet.

And the second important information is that the location of a buried colonial base is revealed in this book. Although the location of the cave is not written in too much detail in the prologue of the book, the cave inside What is the condition of the colonial base, and how did he see the images of the lives of the colonists in the past, but at the beginning of the prologue, he told in detail where he was from and how he discovered the cave. Based on this information, Lei Ou was able to deduce that the approximate location of the base should be within the territory of the small country in the east of the Kingdom of Teresa, and he should be able to find it after a while, provided that it was not discovered by others.

The reason why Leo suspected that the colonial base might have been discovered by others was because on this forbidden book, he saw some reading marks left by previous readers, and the positions of those marks were all related to the location of the base. The location of the information, so there should have been scholars in the city who discovered the mystery hidden in this book in the past, and wanted to find the mirror written in the book, but it is unknown whether they found it in the end.

In addition to this forbidden book of stories, there is another forbidden book on the top floor that contains mysterious power and also provides Leo with a lot of information.

That forbidden book belongs to a heretical organization that has been completely wiped out by the Church of True God. The ancestors of the Belmont family once participated in the siege war of this heretical organization, and took away the holy scriptures that this heretical organization regarded as sacred objects during the war. It is the book that is now sealed on the top floor of the Great Library.

At first, this book was placed in the castle of the Belmont family, and then it was handed over to the royal family of Teresa for unknown reasons. Finally, after the establishment of the Academy City, the Great Library became its new affiliation. It was also one of the first banned books to be sealed into the University Library of the Academy.

The content of this book is very simple. It is describing how the gods of this world first appeared. It is mentioned in the book that there were no gods in the first world, only humans, and the humans at that time were extremely developed and created a powerful ancient world. In the civilized world, when the ancient civilized world developed to the extreme, the corpse of a great man fell from the sky and destroyed the ancient civilized world. At the same time, it also brought gods. It was conceived directly from the corpse.

The book came to an abrupt end here, and the things after the coming of the gods and their conception were not written again. There was a list at the end of the book, which listed which gods descended from the sky with the great one, and which gods came from the corpse of the great one. What is interesting is that all the gods of the Church of True God are in the list of gods bred by the corpse of the great, and those evil gods that are now regarded as heresy are all gods who descended with the corpse of the great.

Obviously, this book also violates the origin theology of most of the Church of True God. At the same time, it is a great blasphemy to claim that the gods come from corpses. It is reasonable for organizations that regard this book as a holy scripture to be labeled heresy.

And the mysterious power contained in this book does not originate from the prohibited content described in the book, but from the cover of the book. The cover of this book should belong to an Omega-level advanced life form, quite Gods of this world.

The reason why Leo does not use gods to refer to the origin of the cover, but uses Omega-level advanced life forms, is mainly because the mysterious power contained in this book is psionic power, very pure psionic power, even stronger than Leo's own psionic power. Be pure.

At that time, when Leo came into contact with this book, the psionic energy in his body even showed signs of being drawn out and integrated into the cover, although in the end Leo controlled his psionic energy and kept the book cover. His psionic energy was absorbed into his body, but the psionic energy absorbed into his body was not integrated into his senior psionic energy, but formed a psionic energy seed like other imprints of divine power, independent of his psionic energy system, Nature will not be under his control.

In the past two days, Leo has tried various methods to stimulate this psionic seed many times, but there has been no response, so he considered going to the fourth city's big library in two days to study the psionic seed. The cover of this forbidden book may be able to find information about the owner of the cover and the method of driving this strange psionic energy.

Except for these two books that gave Leo a lot of useful information, the other banned books more or less contained some hidden things, some of which were about the world, some about the church, and some involving extraordinary power. After sorting out the various materials harvested from the big library this time, the most real side of the world has gradually been revealed to him.

On the fourth day after Leo and Sylvia went to the restricted area of ​​the large library to look up information, the people from the secret organization finally took the initiative to contact him as Leo guessed.

"It's really surprising that you are one of them." After seeing the person showing his identity badge and receiving the secret signal that the dean of the Holy Prayer House had discussed with him that day, both Leo and Sylvia He looked at the person in surprise.

The reason why they did so was because this person turned out to be Thomas, the dean of the Outer Academy of the Academy.

"Mr. Leo, you may have misunderstood me. I am not a member of that organization. I am just a collaborator of that organization. Just because of the many times of cooperation and the good relationship, they gave me a regular member." I don’t recognize this identity in my heart.” Dean Thomas smiled, looked at Leo and Sylvia and said: “Just like the two, I believe that the two of you should not think that you belong to that organization A real member, right?"

"Yes." Leo did not hide anything, nodded and admitted: "How can an organization that has not revealed its name from the beginning to the end gain my trust?" He said, he asked Dean Thomas: "You know The name of the organization?"

Thomas also gave the answer truthfully, saying: "Its name is the Transcendence. I remember that one of the banned books in the library introduced this organization."

Hearing this name, Leo and Sylvia couldn't help but glance at each other.

"Dean Thomas, can you explain in more detail? For example, what is the purpose of this organization, what are its members, etc.?" Sylvia asked in a deep voice.

After Sylvia's inquiry fell, Dean Thomas did not answer immediately, but looked at Sylvia repeatedly, and muttered to himself: "I really think, it's too similar, not only the appearance is exactly the same, Even the voice is the same, and the temperament is even more... No, Ms. Sylvia, you have a stronger temperament, if the two of you stand together, you are more like a queen."
