The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Looking at how you came back, it shouldn't be a good thing." Facing Sylvia's question, Leo didn't answer directly.

Sylvia was silent for a moment, then said, "She told us that the world is changing."

Leo frowned, waiting for Sylvia to continue.

"She told us we needed to change too," Sylvia continued.

Leo questioned: "Is she asking you to choose sides?"

Sylvia shook her head and said, "No, she..."

She was about to say something, but suddenly stopped, as if there was something unspeakable.

Leo didn't urge her, but said it after she figured it out.

After a while, Sylvia said slowly: "She took us to a room, showed us some illusions, and told us that these are the trends of the future world. If we don't keep up with the development of the world, we will surely will be eliminated, so she wants to be able to unite whoever can."

"Phantom?" Leo was stunned.

"It's an illusion created by a prehistoric civilization device." Sylvia said in a deep voice, "She said that device can make people see the future."

After Leo heard these words, he didn't show too much surprise, because since he discovered the weapon box, he already knew that there should be some items of cosmic civilization here, and because of the protection of the frozen soil of the northern ice sheet, The relics or objects here should be better preserved, so it is not unbelievable that there is something like a hologram.

However, Leo was a little curious about what Sylvia saw, so he asked.

But Sylvia looked back in a daze, and said: "I just remember that it should be a very shocking scene, and it was also very shocking, which made me want to join her at that time, but now I can't remember anything. "

"Can't remember anything?" Leo seemed to think of something, sat up from the bed, cupped Sylvia's face with both hands, and looked into Sylvia's eyes.

Sylvia thought that Leo wanted to kiss her, so she wanted to close her eyes, but Leo stopped her and asked her to keep her eyes open.

At this time, knowing that Leo just wanted to look into her eyes, she felt a little embarrassed, and her face turned ruddy a lot.

"You have been purified." Leo observed Sylvia's pupils and said.

"Purify the spirit?" Sylvia looked at Leo in puzzlement, waiting for his explanation.

Leo thought for a while, sorted out his rhetoric, and said: "Before the war begins, soldiers will have various psychological discomfort problems. If these problems are not solved, they will cause some fatal problems on the battlefield. The negligence of the war has affected the final direction of the war. So someone invented a device that can make people who participate in the war no longer have any psychological problems, and the only thought is to defeat the enemy."

"There is such a device? Why have I never heard of it?" Sylvia was a little puzzled.

"Of course you haven't heard of it, because this device comes from there." Leo pointed to the roof and said.

When Sylvia heard what he said, she immediately understood what he meant, and then hesitated: "Since this kind of purification spirit can clear away other people's timidity, panic and other emotions, can it change other people's thoughts? For example, let the relationship Two people who are very bad become harmonious."

"Yes." Leo nodded and said, "So this device will be disabled soon."

The reason why Leo is so familiar with this spiritual purification device is because he was also one of the controllers of the device before, and he is very clear about the pros and cons of this device.

The civilization that invented this device is not the Earth Federation, but an alien race with a warlike civilization. This alien race is very strange and cowardly when it is normal, but it becomes extremely violent in war. Crazy, completely two extremes.

Later, after other alien civilizations secretly investigated, they learned that this alien race had invented a device for purifying the mind.

This device is very similar to the brainwashing device often mentioned by the Earth Federation, but it does not reverse or increase any thoughts, but clears a certain emotion initialized by the device. The negative emotion of the alien race is timidity, so the device is Only cowardice and timidity can be eliminated, and after these emotions are eliminated, the only remaining emotions are violence and madness.

In addition, the effect of this device is not permanent, it will only last for a period of time, and then gradually return to normal.

At that time, the Earth Federation was expanding its territory outwards, and had some conflicts with the surrounding qualified alien civilizations. It also hoped to use this device to make the soldiers more brave in battle, so the Federal Parliament at that time held the people against it. Dissatisfied with the introduction of this device for soldiers who need to go to the front line, and most of the use is voluntary.

At that time, Leo was also in charge of manipulating this device to help ordinary fighters in his team eliminate negative mental pressure.

This kind of device was used fairly well at the beginning. After using it, the soldiers not only became braver, but the overall casualties also decreased.

It was only later that some civilian scientists of the Earth Federation carefully studied this device and found that when this device was used by earthlings, there would be some abnormalities, and long-term use would permanently change the user's mind, instead of thinking like that alien race Just a temporary change.

It is also for this reason that the Earth Federation had to announce to the outside world that it would abandon the use of this device.

But in fact, on some frontiers of the Earth Federation, there are still troops secretly using this device, and the use of this device is not because of the forced request of the upper-level officials, but the request of the bottom-level soldiers themselves, because that kind of device is always in The feeling of panic is very uncomfortable. Many people will be driven crazy by this kind of emotion, not only committing suicide, but even killing their comrades in arms. Therefore, only by regularly clearing up negative emotions can they be able to fight on the front line for a long time.

Humans who have used this device will have an obvious feature that cannot be concealed, that is, a concentric ring will appear in the pupil of their eyes, and there is one in Sylvia's eyes at this moment.

Leo can be sure that there must be an emotion that has been cleared from Sylvia's body, but he doesn't know which emotion it is. The only thing he needs to know is whether Lia Venistan knows the consequences of using this device. And why use this device?

Sylvia stood up from the bed, walked back and forth twice angrily, and shouted loudly: "Damn it! That woman must want to control us, so she uses this kind of thing to modify our thoughts."

Leo didn't bother her to vent her anger, but stayed quietly aside.

At this time, Tessa Moka, who was resting in the next room, ran over after hearing Sylvia's angry curse, and kicked the locked door open, seeing Sylvia in the room with an angry expression on her face. back and forth. Then he turned his head and stared at Leo who was still lying on the bed, apparently thinking that Leo and Sylvia had quarreled.

However, when she saw that Leo was not wearing armor at this moment, there was a hint of doubt in her eyes, but she also wisely didn't ask more questions, but asked Sylvia what happened.

Tessa Mocha soon discovered that things seemed to be different from what she thought. It wasn't that Sylvia and Leo had quarreled, but what they had experienced with Lia Venistan in the palace last night. everything about.

Afterwards, under Sylvia's prompt, she also tried to recall what she saw last night, but she also couldn't remember what she saw, but felt that it was very important.

"What's going on?" Tessa Mocha said in a deep voice.

Sylvia told Tessa Mocha what Leo said just now, but Tessa Mocha showed doubts in her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Is there really such a thing? ?”

Leo didn't explain, but just said to Sylvia: "I don't think she used that device to control you. If you want to use that device to control people's thoughts, you need to use it repeatedly. If you are really controlled, You won't be angry with her behavior."

"Since it's not to control us, then why is she doing this?" Sylvia asked with a puzzled expression.

"I want to know too." Leo echoed, and then added: "However, I want to know more about the origin of this thing."

From an intact piece of weaponry, to a functioning psionic device, Ice Queen Lia Winistan definitely got a full warehouse of military supplies, and possibly even a spaceship.

Moreover, she also learned to use some cosmic civilization devices through the learning device. You must know that the device for clearing the mind cannot be used by pressing a button. It requires some relatively complicated operations to use it normally. It is impossible for people who have not been trained. using this device.

"What do we do now?" Sylvia asked.

"What should I do before, what should I do now." Leo responded, saying: "Although I don't know why she did this, but I feel that she has no malice towards you, and there is no need to be malicious. With her power If there is really any malicious intent, there is no need to spend such redundant means."

Hearing Leo's analysis, Sylvia and Tessa Mocha also nodded in agreement. Although neither of them like Leah Winistan very much, they have to admit that Leah Winistan should be regarded as the strongest witch, and the two of them together may not be able to cause any damage to the Snow Queen .

At this time, the door was knocked suddenly, and Tessa Moka walked out of Leo's bedroom and opened the door. At this time, Sylvia's anger also subsided a lot, and she returned to the bed.

"I'm looking for you." Tessa Mocha came to the bedroom again and said to Leo.

Hearing this, Leo frowned, exchanged glances with Sylvia, then sat up, quickly put on his armor, and walked out of the bedroom.

Seeing Leo approaching, the man who looked like a palace minister saluted him, and then said respectfully: "Mr. Leo Dodd, Your Majesty the Queen wants to see you."

"Lead the way!" Leo did not hesitate, nodded and ordered.

The courtiers of the palace immediately led Leo out of the Ice and Snow Temple, crossed the Rainbow Bridge, and then entered a spiral staircase passage from the side door of the palace. The two walked up until they reached the door at the top. Ou made a please gesture.

Leo is very familiar with the passages of the palace, and he knows that behind this door is a viewing platform, which is also the second highest place in the whole palace besides the roof he stood on last night. Standing on this platform, one can directly see through it. Pass the opposite Ice and Snow Temple, cross the Ice and Snow Goddess Colossus, and see a part of Dailisa City.

Although it is reasonable to say that the scenery on this platform must be good, but the problem is that the environment here is not good. It happens to come out of the mountain wind. When there is no ice and snow, it will be a strong wind. When there is ice and snow, it will be a blizzard. It is definitely not suitable to stand here look at the scenery.

Leo was a little confused as to why the Ice Queen chose this place for her meeting, but he only thought about it for a while, then opened the door and walked out.

The situation after the door was opened was different from what he had imagined. There was no biting cold wind mixed with ice and snow blowing in, but only an inexplicable chill coming from outside the door. He took a closer look and saw that the entire platform was covered by an ice The transparent dome composed of layers was covered, leaving only the side facing the city of Dailisa unsealed with ice, only a large arched window, and the surrounding cold wind was all blocked out by the ice layer .

Ice Queen Lia Venistan stood on the edge of the platform, looking at the scenery of Dailisa City in the distance. Compared with last night, the clothes she was wearing at the moment seemed more casual, and she looked like an ordinary lady. It's just that no matter how casually she dresses up, she can't conceal the strong aura of higher life forms on her body.

Leo walked to the platform and walked towards the Ice Queen, and the courtier also closed the door.

"Your Majesty the Queen." Leo saluted briefly when he came to the Ice Queen's side.

"Am I beautiful?" Lia Venistan suddenly asked Leo inexplicably.

Leo frowned and said simply, "It's beautiful."

"Compared to Sylvia?" Lia Venistan asked again.

Leo didn't even think about it, so he gave the answer: "Judging by the aesthetics of ordinary people, you are beautiful, but I think she is beautiful."

"You are really honest." Lia Venistan smiled, and then suddenly said with a serious expression: "What if I let you leave her, marry me, become the prince of Deliyat, and rule this country forever? "

"Is this a joke?" Leo said very seriously, "I hope it's a joke."

"It's indeed a joke, and it's also a ridiculous idea." Lia Winistan didn't feel the slightest embarrassment of being rejected, she smiled and said, "Although I may regret it afterwards, because I may not be able to find another person who is as good as me." I have a matching man, but I, Lia Venistan, will not lower my posture to a man," she said, looking at her god statue in front of her, and said, "There is no one in this world who can make me lower my posture." people, including God."
