To Four Thousand Years Later

"So, Chang Xi... Where are you now?"

Forty-two calmed down and asked softly: "There is no need to report the coordinates. I'm talking about the approximate location.

"We were on Mount Etna in Cici, near the city of Catania.

Chang Xi quickly replied: "External... I have brought some things here. I need to take them back. Forty-two was slightly touched by this title, and was silent for a moment. He wanted to say something, but his feelings were extremely quiet. So be it.

Forty-two silently shook his head.

"If it's not too big, I'll bring it back together.

He told Chang Xi: "I'll go and bring you back first.

"It's not big, it's just a stone slab.

Chang Xiqing said: "I think it should be brought out... let it see the light of day again.

Forty-two smiled, and agreed casually.

In short, the business is to bring Chang Xi back first. After all, it was still a little dangerous for Chang Xi to be there alone.

Chang Xi has no psychic powers, and is just an ordinary person with a bionic body. His survivability can be said to be very strong against normal people... But when facing Zerg or hostile spirits, it is absolutely impossible to escape. Because even a newly awakened psyker has the basic ability of the psychic field of psychic vision. Even if it can only achieve a very vague, short-distance perspective... But at least this can be judged. Forty-two has already confirmed it-he can indeed see the color of Chang Xi's soul. It was as if the person in front of him was not a synthetic human, but an ordinary human.

But at this time, a question suddenly entwined in Forty-two's mind:

What the **** is a soul...?

In other words, what are the criteria for seeing colors by psionic vision?

What is the law contained in this? Forty-two vaguely, it may be very important to realize that the core of this problem ... may even have to do with the nature of psionic civilization. But he didn't have the energy and time to delve into it for a while, so he could only keep it in his heart for the time being.

When he said this, he stepped out into the end, and came under the curtain. But at this time, Forty-two did not hang up the phone, but continued to maintain the connected state. However, at this time, what came into his ears was no longer Chang Xi's voice, but a vague electric current, mixed with the sound of wind—forty-two who had contacted the whisperer once was very clear. This is exactly the voice of the Whisperer—if one pays close attention to and listens to that voice, perhaps even the consciousness will be gradually melted and absorbed, but Forty-Two is not here to find the Whisperer.

He stepped out from under the curtain and came to the old city of Catania.

For a moment, he felt a little dazed.

He still remembers here.

The city of Catania has become one of the most prosperous cities in Sicily since the end of Leon Ando's era. In the Principality of Sardinia, it has even become a very famous tourist city. Many tourists come to visit this miraculous city that has risen countless times from the ashes…

Of course, there are also tourists who just caught up with the eruption when they visited and became part of the ash.

But at the same time, this city has another unknown history. It is the headquarters of the Order of the Rose. Back then, they enshrined Yastaru and built an altar to attract power from the ghosts to hide the entrance of the headquarters and hide the fact that they secretly sacrificed the Whisperer.

- It was also the place where the Ark of the Covenant was kept.

At that time, Leonardo did not take away the Ark of the Covenant in the end, but only took away the message from Yahweh, and put the Ark itself here, and then buried the entrance and dispelled the barrier.

According to his speculation at the time, according to the local urban road construction plan, the Ark of the Covenant and the stone slabs here should be dug out within two hundred years.

It's just that what 420,000 didn't expect was that there was another large-scale volcanic eruption here before that, which caused the secret passage to be sealed more firmly by the solidified magma.

He thought so. I am afraid that this stone slab will have to be dug out by myself. But now so... is there a fate? "

Although he still remembered the name Maynard, he couldn't remember what his last life's name was. But as far as the other party knows the secret here, he should have a very close relationship with me, probably some human friend of mine, just like Lorenzo.

Forty-two sighed slightly.

A bright light lit up in his eyes, and his whole body suddenly melted into light. Stick to the ground like a bolt of lightning. Fast forward.

Where he passed by, the Zerg within five or six hundred meters suddenly froze and their bodies began to melt. White dazzling light shines in their remnants, like ignited magnesium strips emitting dazzling white light, they are like plastic baked by high temperature, melting and curling into ashes.

But other things, including the bushes and the grass, were not damaged at all.

In only three or four seconds, Forty-Two traveled four to five kilometers and arrived at Chang Xi's location. At the same time, he didn't trigger any triggers, nor did he whip up a violent hurricane, nor did he have any inertia .

Chang Xi was obviously taken aback by the sudden appearance of Forty Two.

But Forty-two moved too fast, Chang Xi just turned around vigilantly, and Forty-two stood behind him.

...is this the slate you are taking? "

Forty-two looked at the huge stone slab in Chang Xi's hand. It is about half the height of a person, and many words are engraved on it in the language invented by Baimeng. Of course Forty-Two knew these characters, he was even the first person in this world to see these symbols.

For a moment, he was in a trance.

So, is it this slate?

He originally thought it was another piece of the law.

"It is a very ancient artifact, from the time of the wise king Solomon in the first millennium BC.

Chang Xi said seriously: "It records very important things...I don't know much about history, but I also know its significance. I plan to hand it over to the federal government. You see...he hesitated a little. The meaning is probably Said that if Forty-two intends to keep it in the collection, he has no objection. He just thinks it's "not appropriate", but Forty-two just couldn't help laughing out loud.

...ah, no. Chang Xi. Just hand it over to the UU government...I'm not interested in it.

_You may not believe it, but this stone was changed from my previous desk. I still remember that scribbled mark on its corner. That is not a particularly meaningful magical symbol, but a five-pointed star I drew on the table in my spare time... and the symbol of the sword in the symmetrical position is not a reference to force or war, but I see only one side The graffiti with a five-pointed star is a bit off. Just added symmetrical graffiti on the other side...

Suddenly, Forty-Two felt a little strange. Even the sad atmosphere of the death of a friend is diluted by this wonderful scene of joy.

But... do you even remember Maynard? "

Chang Xi lamented Ruo, his face was a little ashen: "It seems that we have failed.

"What's wrong?"

Forty-two asked with concern: "Oh, by the way, I also understand agnosticism. So you don't have to worry about the information explosion."

Is that called an information burst? Anyway, Maynard says I'm going to forget...and I haven't forgotten at all. You don't know, forty-two. I was so scared that I almost committed suicide just now, thinking that I had become the last strange survivor again, but I heard that you still remembered Maynard, and I was a little relieved—it was not just me.

"Just at the same time...and a little frustrated.

Chang Xi sighed again: "We didn't cut off its spread at all, we failed...he died in vain. I just checked the information, and no one in the world has forgotten Maynard.

…No, you made it. The winter of Fimbul is over. Forty-two was silent for a while, then shook his head and replied.

He has realized something. Because Maynard is not the real name of the other party at all. Just like forty is not his own name. That person's former name, the proof that the friend who met Zi 2 once lived in the world, was erased from the world.

Although I don't know who he is or what he has done...: But Forty-One thinks that he must have been a great saint. He is a great man who has changed all mankind.

He must have been a great big shot. It is worthy of my respect, who can become my own teacher. Forty-two thought. His real name is no longer known.

And his deeds will last forever.
