The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"What's going on?" After regaining consciousness, Leo looked around, with a little doubt on his face, but more vigilance.

I saw that he had returned to the room where the Deep Consciousness Inductor was located at this moment, but the difference from the previous room was that this room was cleaner, without the cobwebs left by the human-faced spider, and Sylvie Ya and others are not around either.

Seeing this scene, Leo quickly concluded that this might still be the consciousness space created by the importer. He just broke away from the consciousness world of the large library created based on his memory and entered another consciousness space.

However, this also made him feel puzzled, because in his memory, each person can only create at most one consciousness space using the importer, creating too many consciousness spaces will cause the effect of consciousness space, so that they are either mutually exclusive, Destroy each other, or approach and merge with each other.

Whether it is repulsion or integration, it will be a disaster for the user of the induction device. If the user does not leave the induction device before the consciousness space effect occurs, then his deep consciousness will either be repelled and destroyed in the consciousness space, If they are destroyed together, they will eventually become a vegetative person, or they will become a lunatic because of the fusion of consciousness spaces, which will cause information confusion in the deep level of consciousness.

"Don't be nervous! I have no ill intentions towards you." Just as Leo was guessing what kind of situation he was in now, and thinking about the countermeasures to leave here, a voice suddenly sounded in front of Leo.

Immediately afterwards, Leo saw a light appear in front of his eyes, and then the light became bigger and bigger, and after it almost swelled to the height of a person, it gradually weakened, and finally turned into a silver-blue robe with a The mysterious man in the hood stood in front of him.

"Crystal old man?" Leo obviously only saw this person for the first time, but it seemed that he had known this person for a long time, and he said the name of this person without thinking.

"Crystal old man? Is this his name?" The mysterious man reached out and took off the hood on his head, revealing an old face covered with crystal hair, and the most special thing about this face was his A pair of eyes as deep as ink, as if these eyes are connected with the abyss, people will have a feeling that their soul will be sucked away after looking at it for a long time.

"Eternal wisdom?" After seeing the other party, Leo narrowed his eyes slightly and asked tentatively.

The old man did not respond to Leo, but said to himself: "Human memory is amazing, it is like a maze filled with countless rooms, some rooms have no doors, and are set at the front of the maze, as long as you enter the maze You can see it, but some rooms are very secret, and only by following the correct method to find the way, avoiding countless traps, and unlocking the barriers set up by the room can you spy on the things in the room." He turned his head Looking at Leo, he said, "You are the most special person I have ever seen,"

"Why do you say that?" Leo didn't seem to cooperate with the old man's conversation, but when the other party brought the topic to him, he couldn't help asking, as if he had received some kind of psychological suggestion.

The old man looked at Leo with almost radiant eyes as if looking at something rare, and said: "Those guys I met before, even gods? The maze of their brains is not as complicated as your hundred One-tenth, and those hidden memories are far from comparable to yours, you are simply the embodiment of a mystery, a mystery that people can't help but want to solve."

Leo followed the other party's words and said: "I also seem to know what is hidden in my deep consciousness. How about the two of us cooperate and I will cooperate with you to unlock the memory maze in my deep consciousness. You can get my After the hidden memories, give me a share."

The old man stared at Leo, did not speak, then smiled and said: "You really don't know what is hidden in your mind? Even gods dare not touch those things. In fact, I am unlocking your memory maze. When I saw the room that made me feel the least dangerous, I regretted it a little, who would have imagined that there are so many secrets hidden in such a room that makes me feel the least dangerous.”

As he said that, he paused, and his body floated in front of Leo as if he was weightless, and looked at him face to face, and said, "Do you want to know the secrets in those memories, I can tell you all."

Leo opened his mouth, wanting to agree to the proposal, but his words were stopped by his intuition, because he felt that if he asked for this memory, not only would he lose something, but he would also lose something. Get into something you shouldn't get into.

This intuition brought him an extremely strong sense of crisis, which even made him feel as if his mouth and nose were being covered. Although Leo didn't know why the memory about the big library was sealed in the lower consciousness, he felt that the memory was probably sealed by himself to avoid being hurt.

At this time, Leo suddenly thought of something. He remembered that when his personality changed, it seemed that it was after he returned to the world of Velen from the waste capital, that is, when the memory of the big library was banned, which made him doubt himself. Gradually losing the state of absolute sanity of biochemical people, and becoming more and more humane, could it be because of what happened in the big library.

No matter what he encountered in the big library, Leo felt that he should not continue to contact, because if even he was in an absolutely sane state at that time, he was so afraid that he needed to seal up his memory,

Therefore, he quickly withdrew the impulsive thought and said instead: "I don't want to know those secrets, I just want to know about this underground building and where the head of eternal wisdom is."

A look of disappointment appeared on the mysterious man's face, he slowly withdrew from a certain distance, and said, "Although I don't like your choice, I have to admit that you made a correct choice." A nobleman saluted Leo and said, "Hi, I haven't introduced myself just now, my number is szi——djke——sxk751686, but my number will become 1 soon. At that time, my name was Crystal Elder."

When the mysterious man reported his number, Leo was stunned because the language spoken by the other party was English, but when he reported the number, he used the common language of the Earth Federation. And more importantly, the three numbers he reported. In Leo's memory, these three numbers have special meanings.

The first section number is the specific number of the Fifth Research Institute, the second section number is the research department number, this department is the subject of artificial intelligence research, and the third section number is the project number and project experimental product number for researching high-latitude intelligence.

According to the meaning of this code, the mysterious person in front of Leo who is in the conscious world with him is a high-latitude intelligence developed by the artificial intelligence department of the Fifth Research Institute, and one of the 750,000 experimental subjects. And the most important thing is that there are at least 750,000 experimental subjects here.

In addition, this sentence also reveals one point, that is, the other party seems to be able to eliminate or annex the remaining more than 750,000 experimental subjects, and finally become the only experimental subject. At that time, some kind of transformation may occur, and give him The reason for this change is the memory of the large library in Leo's mind.

The mysterious man put the hood back on and said, "I know what you're thinking, but you don't have to worry, as long as I don't completely become a real existence, then I won't have any hostility towards you, not only will I not Hostile, and will answer your questions, because this is the reward you should get after passing the test."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, and all the surrounding buildings were disintegrated and reorganized. After the reorganization was completed, Leo and the mysterious man had already stood at the top of the pyramid building, overlooking the huge building from top to bottom.

The mysterious man said with some pride: "The Fifth Research Institute, the legacy of the great Beposa people, they are the first race in the universe to discover high-latitude intelligence, and they are also the first to truly capture high-latitude intelligence. Race, if they can continue to study, maybe they can cross the gap that other races can never bridge, and become the greatest life race in the universe." Then, he seemed to think that Leo might not understand his words , turned around and asked: "I forgot, you are just an aborigine from this chaotic world, don't you know what high-latitude wisdom is?"

Hearing the mysterious man's superior tone, Leo couldn't help but frowned.

As a biochemical person of the Earth Federation, Leo certainly knows what high-latitude intelligence is. Back then, this topic was definitely the hottest topic in the universe. Almost everyone, even farmers on remote planets, would mention it when chatting .

Omega-level advanced life forms in the universe have been looking for a higher-latitude universe, but this matter has never been conceived. Knowing that the Earth Federation announced that it has found a high-latitude intelligence, and it has been confirmed by the universe council, at this time the universe It is only after various civilizations have determined that they have a universe with higher latitudes, and they have begun to strengthen research on multidimensional universes.

And the Earth Federation was also rewarded by the Supreme Council of the universe for the discovery of high-latitude intelligence. It was able to acquire a large amount of scientific and technological knowledge in a short period of time, and its overall strength expanded rapidly. list.

Although the high-latitude intelligence has enhanced the status of the Earth Federation in the civilization of the universe, brought substantial technology to the Earth Federation, and made the Earth Federation remembered by the Supreme Council, the Earth Federation does not pay much attention to high-latitude intelligence. , just set up a small department in the Fifth Research Institute.

Leo had stayed in the Fifth Research Institute for a while, so he naturally knew the importance of each department of the Fifth Research Institute. The high-latitude intelligence research department is definitely the department with the lowest human and material resources in the Fifth Research Institute, so that department was also assigned by the Fifth Research Institute. People in the institute jokingly call it a nursing home.

It's just that although he knew these things, he couldn't show it, because he was also a member of the so-called aborigines in this mysterious population.

In addition, after hearing the words of the mysterious man, Leo was thinking more about the chaotic world that the other party said. It sounds like the mysterious man in front of him who may be an experimental intelligent body knows the truth of the world of Velen.

Although Leo wanted to know the details about the chaotic world, he didn't ask because he felt that if he asked, there might be something he didn't want to see.

"Trap! It's another trap." Leo looked at the mysterious man and a thought came to his mind, but he didn't speak.

The mysterious man didn't show any abnormalities, nor did he intend to explain the high-latitude wisdom, and continued to say: "It's a pity that such a great Beposa people were wiped out by the low-level race they created. This is the universe. It’s always so chaotic, dark, disorderly, and full of accidents.” At this point, he stopped suddenly, his body trembling extremely rapidly, like a patient with hysteria, and he was a little out of control. Shouted, "No, it's not time yet, my time is not up yet, I can't..."

Before he could utter a word, the mysterious man's trembling body instantly calmed down, and the robe on his body changed its shape as if it had melted into ooze, and finally turned into a set of protective clothing for the research institute. on the mysterious person.

And the mysterious man whose expression and tone of voice contained a hint of humanity just now was as expressionless as if wearing a mask, and his eyes also changed from pitch black to those of a normal person. Eye.

"Number szi—djke—sxk001417 is at your service." The mysterious man didn't talk nonsense to Leo at all, and said directly: "The things you asked for have been prepared for you, please accept."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and stroked Leo's forehead. Leo instinctively wanted to dodge, but he found that he couldn't move. It wasn't that his body couldn't move. patted this hand on his forehead.

"Ah!" A burst of familiar pain caused by the infusion of knowledge suddenly occurred in his brain, which made Leo yell out, and squeezed the sides of his head with both hands, as if he wanted to crush the whole head Same.

"Leo! Calm down, relax! Relax!" Sylvia's voice sounded from the side, and with a soothing force, it penetrated into his mind, relieved some pain, and let his body relax down.

The severe pain in the skull came and went quickly, and soon the pain subsided like the ebbing sea water, leaving only some information about the pyramid and the location of the eternal wisdom head.

"How are you? Are you okay?" Seeing Leo recovering, Sylvia couldn't help asking with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Leo took a few deep breaths to calm down his body, but the smell of blood and burning caught his attention again, and made him look up and look around, surprised asked, "How long has it been? What happened here?"
