The road to completion starts from the Gate of Truth

However, all this is in vain.

Facing the light curtain that directly decomposes matter into atoms, even a piece of meat that can multiply endlessly can only be like a picture erased by an eraser, disappearing into the air piece by piece, no matter how hard it resists, After all, there is no way to save it.

Ten minutes later, when Fang Yuan finally stopped, there was no trace of flesh and blood on the ground.

All that was left in place was a huge pit that was nearly one meter deep below the surrounding ground. In order to ensure that every cell of the monster was killed, Fang Yuan cut away all the ground stained with flesh and blood tissue. layer! "...It's finally over..." Alice breathed a sigh of relief, finally solving this big trouble.

She has participated in missions to investigate bioterrorism incidents before. Almost every time, she will encounter one or two very difficult monsters at the last moment. But this time, the monsters she encountered were more difficult than ever.

Thanks to Fang Yuan, if it weren't for him, even if she could defeat the monster, she still couldn't do anything with the infinitely proliferating flesh.

In fact, if it weren't for Fang Yuan, she would still be just an experiment by Wesker.

Fang Yuan, who broke away from the continuous circles, first held his knees and calmed down for a while. When he heard Alice's words, he shook his head: "No, it's not over yet!" Then he stood up and walked towards the still burning cave. .

"There is another fish that slipped through the net here!" Chi—— Dots of white light flashed in front of Fang Yuan, and the tenaciously burning flames attached to the ground could only be extinguished one by one after being annihilated by the combustibles.

When all the flames at the entrance of the cave disappeared, Fang Yuan tapped his foot on the ground in front of him, and a crystal pillar with a completely different texture from the surrounding stones rose from the ground.

But the crystal itself is not the key, the key is what is sealed inside.

"This is..." Alice saw that a piece of flesh with a twisted human face was sealed in the crystal. Although the facial features were much smaller in size and severely distorted, she could still recognize it. This was Wesker's face! "He's not dead yet?!" Alice thought Wesker had died together with Sadler under Fang Yuan's annihilation white light, but she didn't expect that Fang Yuan would dig him out of the ground again! It can be seen that even though it is sealed by the crystal, Wesker's face is still struggling and roaring, and even Alice can hear the high-pitched sound through the crystal.

However, it seems that this little monster with Wesker's face has lost the ability to speak. Even if you get closer, you can't hear clearly what it is roaring.

"He's not dead.

This guy is indeed very cunning. Although he seemed to be devoured by Sadler before, he has not completely lost his will as it seems on the surface. When you beat the monster away for the first time, he Taking advantage of the flame cover, he separated a piece of tissue and hid in the underground rock crevice.

It can be said that he is much smarter than the crazy Sadler! As Fang Yuan spoke, he projected the picture taken by the previous armor - a smart armor with all-round detection capabilities would not be fooled by the mere light and shadow of flames. Wesker's small movements were clearly visible in the camera, and were caught by it. Saw it clearly.

To be honest, this stubborn Wesker in front of him reminded Fang Yuan of Orochimaru in the Legend of the Eye, both of whom were equally difficult to kill! If it weren’t for the powerful functions of his armor and the high level of intelligence of his artificial intelligence, which reminded him in time after the battle, he might have been able to escape from this guy! "It's really Wesker's style!" Alice couldn't help but sigh after watching the video.

Well, when she was chasing Wesker, she didn't know how many times he used similar methods to escape from his shell. It can be said that she was deeply moved.

"But this time he can't escape!" Fang Yuan snapped his fingers, disintegrating the crystal column and everything inside into nothingness. The great boss Wesker finally disappeared completely.

')072'\u003eChapter 72: A world on the verge of destruction

However, even though all enemies were eliminated (the poor castle owner was completely forgotten by the two of them...), Fang Yuan and Alice did not leave the underground immediately.

After all, although the cave was burned by incendiary bombs, there was no guarantee that there would be no traces of flesh and blood left inside.

Both Alice and Fang Yuan, after experiencing the previous events, both agreed that those twisted and terrifying mutated flesh and blood should be completely eliminated.

Fortunately, perhaps due to the loss of the core relationship, the flesh and blood in the cave is not like the combined monster of Sadler and Wesker, which can evolve corresponding organ structures in response to the external environment. Most of them were burned by napalm. All were burned to ashes.

When Fang Yuan turned on the decomposition force field and walked around, he found that except for a small amount of flesh and blood tissue that had survived because it was in the corner of the cave, the entire cave was basically clean.

After casually refining the surviving flesh and blood carpets, Fang Yuan checked them again and again in the cave, and finally could no longer see any trace of organic flesh and blood.

After extinguishing the flame that had completely completed its mission, Fang Yuan arrived at the deepest part of the cave, where the flesh altar and flesh pool seen in the drone footage were located.

The terrifying and curious scene from before is no longer visible here. All that is left here is a large pit, with the deepest center being more than ten meters deep.

This should be where the monster came out.

Having experienced his last trip to Africa, Fang Yuan knew that since this place was used as an altar, there must be something unusual about it.

Sure enough, when he descended to the bottom of the pit, the ultrasonic scanning system on the armor discovered something hidden underground.

"Another altar..." Yes, there is another altar underground. Fang Yuan decomposed all the surrounding soil and saw the entire altar buried deep underground - it is a circular staircase that is somewhat similar to the Ladder of the Sun. , also looks to be made of stone, but the direction of construction is opposite to that of the Sun Staircase, not upward but downward. At the bottom of the stairway, there is an irregular stone slab with a rough surface, and something seems to be engraved on it.

Fang Yuan tried to identify what these carvings were, but the surface of the stone slab was severely worn and seemed to have been deliberately damaged. He could not see what was originally carved on it.

However, he knew that this slate was probably the key item! Whether it is true or not, you will know after trying it.

Fang Yuan walked closer to the edge of the stone slab, squatted down, his eyes flashed with the light of refined reaction, and slowly touched the surface of the stone slab with one hand... Boom—————— A voice like countless people shouting crazily poured into Fang Yuan. Yuan's mind.

High-pitched, low, sharp, hoarse, light, rough, rapid, soothing, fanatical, calm, man, woman, child, old man, human, animal, creature It is a noisy, chaotic, indistinguishable, and incomprehensible sound of chaos. Even if a normal person only hears it for a moment, he will immediately lose his mind. As for becoming a madman, an idiot, or a believer of an evil god, It just depends on that person's luck.

But Fang Yuan was not like this.

This is not the first time he has experienced this kind of scene.

He had encountered the same thing the last time he was in Africa exploring the secrets of the Stairway to the Sun.

Therefore, he also knows very well that he will not be harmed.

Just when these voices turned into a chaotic information flow and poured into his mind, the Door of Truth took action! The Door of Truth, which was originally hidden deep in Fang Yuan's consciousness and could not easily move, appeared directly on the surface of his consciousness.

The portal with the Kabbalah Tree of Life engraved on it opened at this moment, and an invisible suction force erupted, sweeping Fang Yuan's consciousness and the chaotic information inside.

When Fang Yuan, who had fallen into confusion and confusion, regained consciousness, he found that he had arrived at a strange place.

This is a dark space, and the only light source is the countless eyeballs suspended in the dark void, emitting blood-red light.

Fang Yuan found that he seemed to have lost his body at this time. He didn't even have a spiritual body, it was just a pure perspective.

But those countless scarlet eyes seemed to be able to see him, staring firmly at Fang Yuan's location.

The scarlet eyes were silent, but they seemed to be telling something silently. Fang Yuan seemed to understand something from those eyes, but he didn't seem to understand anything... Then, he heard something that seemed to be coming from the darkness. There was some kind of inaudible whisper, getting louder and louder, but it was still unclear what the voice was saying.

At the same time, countless information and knowledge suddenly poured out of the darkness, forcefully and irrefutably poured into Fang Yuan's consciousness.

However, this information and knowledge are too much, far beyond what any human being can bear. Fang Yuan's consciousness cannot accept it at all. He can only let this information flow through his consciousness like water, and then It disappeared, leaving only a few incomplete and superficial traces deep in his heart.

I don’t know how long has passed, maybe it was an instant, or maybe hundreds of millions of years have passed, time has lost its meaning.

Suddenly, a door made of light appeared in front of Fang Yuan's eyes, and his instinct made him step towards the door... The next moment, he woke up.

Opening his eyes, Fang Yuan saw the stone slab that had turned into ashes in front of him, and a lot of information suddenly appeared in his consciousness.

That was a kind of information that was difficult to describe in words. Fang Yuan also received it last time, but he didn't know whether it was because it was too late or because it was too incomplete. He couldn't understand what was going on in his mind.

However, when the information obtained this time was merged with the information obtained last time, Fang Yuan suddenly seemed to understand something.

The first thing that came to mind was a series of very weird and twisted characters. Each character seemed to be entangled with countless tentacles, giving people a very obvious sense of discomfort.

Although they were characters that Fang Yuan had never seen before, for some reason, he recognized them instinctively and even knew their pronunciation.

However, although he recognized them, Fang Yuan could not pronounce them personally - human vocal organs could not produce such complex pronunciations.

However, this is not the point! The point is, Fang Yuan found the paragraph closest to human pronunciation from this string of characters, and when written in English, it was Abhoth.

Fang Yuan knew what this name meant.

Abhoth (Abhoth), the source of the unclean, the ancestor of evil spirits, an alien god in the Cthulhu mythology.

Although he is not a character created by Lovecraft himself, he is undoubtedly a member of the Cthulhu mythology system, and is also the most powerful being in this mythology system-one of the Outer Gods.

According to the setting, Abhoth is the creator of all abnormal errors and abominations on Earth. He lives in the Iqua Cave at the bottom of Mount Voormithadreth in the prehistoric Hyperborea. , in the shape of a terrifying, light gray, large pool that resembles some kind of liquid.

The gray objects within continue to tremble and expand, producing hideous and deformed objects known as "Sons of Abhoth", including bodyless upper and lower limbs, rolling heads, struggling stomach-like objects with fish fins, etc.

These objects try to crawl out of the cave, but are often pulled back into the pool by Abhos, only to be swallowed by their creator.

Abhoth also possesses telepathic abilities and can communicate with those close to him, but his spirit is filled with hatred for the outside world.

Aberhoth is not a creature of Earth, and its amorphous form and malice toward the world hint at some connection to Thathoggua.

The above is the introduction that Fang Yuan saw from Du Niang before traveling through time. Although it did not explain the true nature and origin of this alien god, it described its external characteristics in detail - it was surprisingly similar to the previous flesh and blood palace! From the knowledge that suddenly emerged in his mind, he knew that this stone slab that had been reduced to ashes and the Sun Staircase Altar that he had come into contact with in Africa were all part of this outer god.

——An extremely tiny part, a fragment within a fragment that is not even an incarnation. It can even be said that it is just a little residual trace.

But such a trivial trace can develop the Progenitor Virus and Las P-lagas, two biological and chemical weapon systems with huge threats and endless troubles. The terrifying degree of the Outer Gods can be seen clearly! At the same time, Fang Yuan also knew what the previous Sadler wanted to do.

That guy probably discovered the secrets hidden in the Ancestral Virus and Las P-lagas, and then, as expected, he was brainwashed by the spiritual pollution of the outer gods and became a fanatical believer. He actually planned to build a flesh and blood altar with the help of the power of two derivatives of the outer gods. Summon the true form of Abhos to come! If Fang Yuan hadn't destroyed the altar in time and allowed that guy to successfully summon, God knows how many people would be left in this world! ')073'\u003eChapter 73 Hope of going home

When Fang Yuan and Alice walked out of the underground mine, they saw that the ground was already a piece of scorched earth.

Just after Fang Yuan entered the depths of the underground, the drone group that received his final instructions faithfully carried out his orders and launched attacks on all living creatures on the surface.

The entire mountainous area, with at least a thousand infected people, as well as dozens or hundreds of various biological and chemical weapons, as well as a short castle owner, were all reduced to ashes under the self-destruction attack of thousands of drones. ——Even the castle and the surrounding villages and towns have been reduced to ruins.

"Wow! You are really generous!" Alice thought that Fang Yuan rescued her through infiltration operations, but she didn't expect that what she saw in front of her was a bombing scene. Could it be that they attacked directly from the front? Fang Yuan: "..." Well, before, he only thought about how to quickly and efficiently deal with the large number of infected people and biological and chemical weapons. He never thought about what the scene would look like after the bombing.

Fortunately, the climate in this area is relatively humid. Even such a large-scale bombing did not cause forest fires or anything like that, so the impact was not too serious.

At this moment - "Someone is coming!" After the Gate of Truth took away the underground "source", the mental power restrictions in this area have disappeared. Fang Yuan's mental power scanning ability has finally recovered, so he is far away Then I spotted a helicopter flying over more than ten kilometers away.

"Enemy or friendly force?" Alice raised her eyebrows and clenched the grip of the rifle in her hand.

"Relax, it's a friendly force!" Through the perspective of mental power, Fang Yuan saw that the helicopter was the symbol of B.S.A.A.. Obviously, this should be the reinforcement of B.S.A.A. that Carlos had said.

"Friendly forces?" Alice put down the gun: "Okay, just like the police in the movie, they always appear after everything is over..." A few minutes later, when the helicopter landed in this scorched earth ruins , Chris, who was the first to step out of the hatch, looked at the tragic scene around him, and then looked at the fully armed female warrior standing in the center of the ruins, a little dumbfounded: "Alice, all of this... were you done?" " No, a friend helped me. To be precise, he saved me and destroyed everything here!" Alice shook her head in denial, unwilling to take credit from Fang Yuan.

"Friend?" Chris looked around again, and then said with a subtle expression: "Then this friend of yours really has some magical powers... When we flew all the way here, we saw that the entire mountainous area here was covered with trees. Traces of bombing and burning, did your friend mobilize an entire army to rescue you? " "He... has some special talents."

Alice shrugged and did not answer directly.

From the fact that Fang Yuan left alone, we could tell that he didn't want the authorities to know too much about him, so Alice didn't intend to leak his situation to too many people.

"Okay, I won't ask... Anyway, just be okay!" Chris patted Alice on the shoulder, and then led her to the helicopter: "Let us take you home!" ... One day later, Fang Yuan returned to his residence.

He threw himself heavily on the bed, a tired expression on his face.

Although less than three days had passed from the time Fang Yuan received Carlos' call to the time he rescued Alice, defeated the boss, and cleared the battlefield.

But just these three short days gave Fang Yuan the illusion that a long time had passed.

This is not the author's thoughts after spending several days writing so many chapters, but Fang Yuan's real feeling.

A lot has happened in the past few days: flying, looking for clues, drawing maps, playing stealth, rescuing people, beating bosses, destroying disgusting flesh and blood clumps, destroying the altar of evil gods... The most important thing is, Fang Yuan The information I came across at the end was really astonishing.

The outer god who originally existed only in legends finally revealed the tip of his iceberg in front of Fang Yuan.

The so-called biochemical weapons that can destroy the world actually turn out to be just a few insignificant fragments left behind by that great existence. No, they are even just derivatives of the power of these fragments.

This couldn't help but make Fang Yuan feel an absurd feeling in his heart - if the villains in this world who do anything to develop stronger and more powerful biological and chemical weapons knew that what they were pursuing was actually something that fell from a certain being, What kind of expression would a thing worse than dandruff have? Of course, what makes Fang Yuan feel particularly heavy is another seemingly unrelated matter - What is the Gate of Truth that can swallow up the information and essence contained in these outer god fragments? ! The door of truth/the door of the silver key; the gatekeeper/the master of the door; the being who controls all the truths in the world/the omniscient and omnipotent Lord of the Eternal Eternal Life; one is all, and all is one/the one who creates all things, and all things return to one... So It was an obvious reminder that although Fang Yuan had already vaguely guessed, when he actually confirmed the matter, he still felt a shiver from the bottom of his heart.

What deal did he make with such a great being? And what purpose does that great being want to achieve through himself? ……But confusion and fear did not bother Fang Yuan for too long.

After all, he is still an alchemist, and staying rational at all times can be said to be a basic skill.

After realizing that he couldn't know more or do anything, Fang Yuan gave up thinking in this area.

If you have this time for random thoughts, you might as well continue to delve into your own alchemy, at least think of a way to get a lot of tolls! Fortunately, the harvest this time is not all bad news.

At least, Fang Yuan knew that besides souls, there were other things that could serve as tolls.

Yes, they are the two fragments of the Outer God that were previously swallowed by the Gate of Truth. Although they are insignificant fragments that fell from the Outer God's body, they are part of the Outer God after all, and the power contained in them exceeds that of the human soul. There are countless refined Philosopher's Stones.

Although he didn't know how the Gate of Truth calculated the "equivalence" of equivalent exchange, Fang Yuan knew instinctively that more than 99% of the travel expenses he originally needed to go home were directly exempted! It can be said that if the fragment of the Outer God he came into contact with could be larger, it would be very possible for him to directly collect all the travel expenses home! Now, he only needs to collect enough Philosopher's Stone for 30,000 people to pass through the Gate of Truth and return to his original world! Thirty thousand people, although this number seems quite large, in this world... it doesn't seem to be a very difficult thing! ')074'\u003eChapter 74 Someone wants to cause trouble again!

"Wesker is dead!" A voice said in the video communication without a picture.

"What happened?" Another voice came from the darkness. Although it was a question, its tone was full of indifference.

"Alice from B.S.A.A. was the only one who knew about it, but she refused to say anything.

But we can already confirm that someone is involved! " "who? ""A man who possesses some kind of supernatural power and is suspected to be an evolved form after being infected by a virus. He has appeared in Raccoon City, in Africa, in Spain, and in every place that has a huge connection with the T-series project. There is also something behind the collapse of Umbrella. This man's push - the one-eyed masked killer - is one of his identities. "

"Do you know the other party's true identity?" "Although he has been disguised very well and changed his identity and costume every time he acted, we started from his friends and found some clues."

"Can you lock him?" "It's very close!" "Then, capture him!" "Sir, the design drawings of version 2.0 of the Bionic Armor have been completed, do you need to show them?" A one that sounds a bit mechanical The sound appeared in the empty laboratory, but there was no one here except Fang Yuan.

"Show me... In addition, AI, you seem to be getting more and more intelligent. Do you want me to give you a name?" Fang Yuan looked at the design drawings projected into his retina while talking to his AI. Chatting.

Yes, the person who just spoke was the artificial intelligence that Fang Yuan had previously created using a mutated version of the Philosopher's Stone. After a period of learning, growth and self-optimization, although it did not seem to have self-awareness, it was still in the form of communication. It's already very user-friendly.

"A name...if you wish."

The AI's tone was still calm, and Fang Yuan couldn't tell whether it really wanted to have a name or whether it was just following his master's opinion.

But this level is actually just right. If he were smarter and really developed self-awareness, Fang Yuan would not know what to do.

"So, let me think about it... Jarvis, Friday, Ultron, Grid, Fire Queen, White Queen, Skynet, Genesis, Wiki, R2-D2, C-3PO, BB-8, Cortana, Alpha Dog, David, Ava...Which one of these names do you like? "Well, when Fang Yuan, who is incompetent at naming, thought of the names of artificial intelligence, these were the ones that popped into his head, but he didn't seem to notice that there were so many names in the list. It seems that half of the masters are not good artificial intelligence... "Artificial intelligence named Flame Queen and White Queen have appeared in the current world. According to the identity difference definition of 'name', these two names cannot be used."

The AI ​​that had not yet received its own name corrected Fang Yuan's mistakes seriously. During the period after it was created, it had noticed traces of the other two artificial intelligences through the Internet more than once, and even knew about them. name.

"...Okay, I really need to give you a unique name..." Although he knew that this AI did not mean to accuse him, Fang Yuan still reflected for a moment and decided that he should be cautious about the name - if he travels through time again in the future Traveling to other worlds, and then coming into contact with the artificial intelligences mentioned above, only to have my own artificial intelligence bear someone else's name... isn't this embarrassing! "...Let me think about it, let me think about it..." Fang Yuan rubbed his temples with a headache. He really wasn't good at naming names... "How about... let me call you [Ether]!" Fang Yuan After thinking about it, I decided to give it this name.

It just so happens that the ontology that makes up this AI is the Philosopher's Stone constructed from countless human souls. The Philosopher's Stone is also known as the "fifth element" in traditional Western alchemy, and the ancient Greek philosopher Aris Dodd once guessed that in addition to water, fire, air, and earth, there is also an ether located in the upper layer of the sky, which is also called the fifth element by some people.

"Yes, from now on, I am [Ether]!" AI, no, it should be called [Ether] at this time, officially accepted its new name.

... Two months later - "Sir, I received an encrypted email without a signed sender, but by tracing the source, it was confirmed that the sender was Ms. Jill Valentine."

The voice of [Ether] rang in Fang Yuan's ears, bringing him back to his senses from his highly focused research.

"What's going on? Show me the email -" Putting on special glasses, a light curtain opened in front of him.
