"Trapped in a time loop?" Wu Chang couldn't help but ask. He Yun opened the can in his hand and said: "The people in the underground shelter are all like the two people you just saw. Our lives are anchored at a certain point in time. Once we die or our lives change drastically, our lives will It will return to that node.” "No matter what was done during this period, the physical and mental traces will fade away together, as if everything never happened." Wu Chang was silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer the question, so he could only say: "It sounds like a different kind of eternal life." "Eternal life?" He Yun sneered. "Here, everything remains unchanged. No matter what we do, we can't leave a trace on our lives. Those important moments that we vow to remember for a lifetime may wake up with no memory left in our minds." "When you study hard, master enough knowledge, exercise hard, and have skills that everyone praises. When you win one game after another, become the focus of the shelter, and stand on the final stage , the next moment because you changed too much, you turned back on the spot and turned back into the confused boy who looked at the game poster ten years ago. " "Can you imagine this feeling?" Wu Chang just thought about it and couldn't help but frown. For those who are on the sidelines, this is simply the best thing to do, but for those who have dreams and desire to achieve something, this kind of change or setback is a bit too cruel.
It would be okay if he was just one person. After all, if he lost all his memories, he would not know where he had been. But in a city, everything you do will always leave traces elsewhere. When you know that you were only one step away from the end of your dream, and the next moment you are back to the starting point, this gap will definitely make people collapse. He Yun crushed the finished can and threw it on the ground. A trash can robot came over. The mechanical arm picked up the garbage and stuffed it into his mouth. After the beeping sound, its recycling port rolled out. A metal coin fell into the metal storage tank under the robot. "When you realize that all your efforts are only leading to more regret and a maddening sense of loss, people stop changing and try to play their original role." "Do you still think this is a kind of eternal life?" Wu Chang didn't answer. No wonder the aborigines in underground shelter No. 88 all seemed to be suffering from super male syndrome. They were either seeking death or on the way to death. Perhaps in this way, they can realize that they are still alive. He looked at He Yun and asked, "You are not as crazy as others, aren't you afraid?" He Yun turned around and went upstairs, leaving a faint answer. "Anything that happens in this underground office is not a major change to me." Not long after, He Yun got dressed, walked downstairs, and started chasing people away. "It's time for me to go out to work, and it's time for you to leave too." Wu Chang came to He Yun excitedly and asked, "What are we going to do today?" He Yun paused for a moment, and the word "we" sounded particularly harsh in her ears. "There's no us, just you and me. I'll do my thing and you go your own way." Wu Chang said to himself: "What I have to do now is to get familiar with this underground shelter. In my experience, if you want to understand the local customs, there is no better way than to stay with local friends. " He Yun looked at Wu Chang in surprise, "Do you have any local friends?" Wu Chang looked at her and nodded. He Yun realized something was wrong, pointed at himself and asked, "You're not talking about me, are you?"
Wu Chang said matter-of-factly: "In our place, being able to stay at each other's house is already a symbol of close relationship. So I think we are friends." He Yun took a breath of cold air. Damn it, this guy really depends on her. Wu Chang then said: "And the people here are very unfriendly. I'm afraid that if I can't control myself, I will make too much noise in self-defense and cause some trouble. If I am not within your sight, you will definitely not feel at ease." Bar." If he was just thick-skinned and stalking before, his words now carry a bit of a threat. Wu Chang's words just touched He Yun's worries. As a native of the underground shelter and one of the strongest people, He Yun understood the difficulties of the underground shelter very well. If Wu Chang, an outsider with the ability to teleport and powerful destructive power, really conflicts with the locals, the locals will most likely suffer a big loss, and it will be difficult to defeat Wu Chang. After all, the underground shelter is a technological side plane, and they have no ability to prevent space jumps. After hesitating for a moment, He Yun finally compromised. "Listen, stay with me, but don't cause trouble. You can't do anything without my permission, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." Wu Chang said with a smile: "I knew we were good friends." Our ancestors are right, when facing a gentleman, you must bully him. He saw that He Yun didn't like to use force excessively and would not kill rashly, so he was able to shamelessly succeed and stayed at the other party's house for one night. He also recognized that He Yun was different from other locals, full of reason and sense of responsibility, so he could semi-threateningly bind her to action. If it were the lunatics he encountered last night, it would be impossible for Wu Chang to use his tricks. Those super heroes would have already taken out their weapons and emptied their magazines. But for those people, Wu Chang also has another way of communicating. You see, isn't he communicating very smoothly with the bartender? The two left home and headed towards the bus stop where they got off last night. When passing by last night's billboard, he found that the charred Asylum version of Pete had disappeared, and was probably resurrected like the assassin duo. Thinking of resurrection made Wu Chang couldn't help but think about the mechanism of local people's resurrection. What was their method of resurrection, regeneration or reorganization on the spot, so he asked Xiang Heyun directly. He Yun said: "I once tried to study the reasons for people's resurrection, but after trying a few times, I found that it was not something that could be demonstrated through science. But to put it bluntly, it is like a kind of regression, returning the body to a certain point in time.” Wu Chang asked: "Then if I throw a target, such as the two assassins last night, into an iron barrel, fill it with cement, and then sink it into the water, what will happen to them? Will they keep resurrecting and then die?" He Yun looked at Wu Chang with strange eyes and asked, "What do you do outside, are you a gangster or a professional killer?" Wu Chang shrugged and said, "I have many careers. A week ago, I was still a chaebol." "I have never seen a chaebol who drinks hot milk on credit." He Yun snorted, and then answered Wu Chang's question. "The rebirth mechanism of the underground shelter is very special. It takes into account the possibility of being killed continuously after resurrection. Therefore, if a local dies three times in a short period of time, after the third death, he will be reborn at the collective resurrection point instead of where he was. resurrection." Wu Chang didn't expect that the resurrection mechanism was quite humane. "Where is the collective resurrection point you mentioned?" He Yun: "Because resurrection is divine, and the Bliss Sect is the only religion in the underground shelter, the collective resurrection point was transformed into the Bliss Sect's cathedral." Oh well, with this relationship, the reputation of the Bliss Sect in the underground shelter must not be low.
Wu Chang frowned and asked, "If I rashly conflict with the Church of Paradise, will there be a war with the entire underground shelter?" He Yun puzzled: "Why do you want to conflict with the Bliss Sect?" Wu Chang: "Because of a friend of mine." He Yun: "Huh?" Wu Chang knew nothing about the underground shelter. He had obviously never entered the shelter before. It was impossible to have friends here. Even if he had friends, the number of people in the underground shelter who were in conflict with the Bliss Sect could be counted on one hand. . In addition, when Wu Chang relied on her before, he called them friends. This guy wouldn't be looking for bad luck with the Bliss Sect just because she was assassinated yesterday. He Yun immediately said: "I will handle my affairs myself, I don't need you to do anything." Wu Chang:? What the hell is this? Where is it? He quickly realized that He Yun must have misunderstood. He was thinking of the kidnapped Fang Hui. He Yun seemed to have misunderstood him because of the joke in the morning. If he explained clearly at this time, He Yun would definitely be embarrassed. So Wu Chang, who was considerate, decided to make the mistake right and said: "I don't want you to think, I want me to think that the people from the Paradise Sect can go out and ask for my name, but any friends who are recognized by me will not be The truth of bullying.” He Yun quietly interjected: "Isn't your name peace?" "Yeah, how did Heping come about? If we didn't kill all the enemies, would Heping have grown legs and come here on its own?" Wu Chang said matter-of-factly. He Yun sighed, feeling that in some aspects, Wu Chang, an outsider, was more extreme than the locals. She said: "I suggest you not to act rashly. As you said, since the arrival of the foreign archbishop some time ago, people's belief in the Bliss Sect has increased significantly. If you deal with the Bliss Sect, it will really arouse public anger. " Wu Chang touched his chin and thought: "When those two guys were resurrected during the day, not only did their bodies become thinner, but they also completely forgot that they came to assassinate you. You said that resurrection will recall memories. How long ago will it go back?" He Yun said: "It's hard to say. It usually goes back to before the death or the beginning of the huge change, maybe a few months, maybe 89 years." Wu Chang: "Then you said that if I kill all the supporters of the Bliss Sect, and their memories go back to before the arrival of the foreign archbishop, wouldn't it be able to weaken the influence of the Bliss Sect?" He Yun: "I was conservative before. You should be either a terrorist or a dictator outside. But I advise you not to even think about it. Even if you are doing it for me, I will stop you." Wu Chang shrugged, "Okay, you have the final say." The two took a bus and came to a power station between the suburbs and the city. Although the locals in the underground shelter will not die, they still need to work in order to maintain themselves and satisfy the operation of the underground shelter. He Yun's daily job is to repair the power station. The power station is a huge building. Judging from the appearance, at least hundreds of employees are required to operate it, but in fact, it is extremely deserted inside. It is so deserted that you can't hear any noise coming from inside if you stand outside. Seeing He Yun's arrival, the door of the power plant opened. An old man in his fifties with half white hair walked out of the communication room and greeted He Yun. "I heard that you made a big splash at the bar last night. You killed a troublemaking outsider with one punch."
He Yun had no intention of going into detail about this, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the opponent is too weak." The old man put on his glasses, looked at Wu Chang behind He Yun, and asked, "Who is he?" He Yun hesitated for a moment and said with some reluctance: "A friend." After saying that, he entered the equipment room and began to replace the maintenance mecha needed to repair the power station. The old man took the opportunity to pull Wu Chang aside and asked in a low voice: "Boy, honestly, what is your relationship?" Wu Chang also responded in a low voice, "As she said, we are still friends for the time being. I was just allowed to go to her house yesterday." The old man clicked his tongue twice, glanced secretly at the equipment room, and said: "Huh, I'm relieved that she can return to a normal life. Boy, if you have a chance, let her find another job. There is no need for anyone to check it here, or she doesn't need to check it." "This place is not suitable for her. The longer she stays here, the more she will be stuck in the past. I promised her brother to take good care of her, but obviously, it is difficult for me to influence her as a bad old man. Maybe you Can help her get out." Wu Changgang was about to ask what the old man was talking about. He Yun, who had changed the maintenance mecha, had already come out and urged: "Don't listen to his nonsense, it's time to go!" The area that He Yun needed to focus on overhauling was the underground circuit passage. When taking the elevator down, He Yun asked: "Did the old man talk too much just now? Did he say anything to you that shouldn't be said?" Wu Chang was always loyal and never lied to his friends, so he sold the old man on the spot. "He told me you shouldn't stay here and what happened to you here." He Yun frowned slightly and cursed in a low voice for being troublesome. Wu Chang: "Do you mind talking about what happened here?" He Yun was very resistant to this and said coldly: "There is nothing to talk about." As the elevator stopped, they descended at least another hundred meters to the underground underground. He Yun scanned his face, opened a heavy metal door, and then led Wu Chang into the circuit passage. The scene behind the metal door surprised Wu Chang. Through his Dharma-Breaking Eye, he could see that the space here was full of energy, which was being continuously fed into the interface of the circuit channel. No wonder there are so few people at the power station and the operation of the power generation equipment cannot be heard. It turns out that it is not because the technology of the underground shelter is too advanced, but because the underground shelter does not need to generate electricity at all. No matter how old it is, we are still doing traditional power generation. In the underground shelter, the air here can generate electricity by itself! The circuit channel sounds like a dedicated space for transmitting circuits, but in fact it is more like a passage leading underground. Wu Chang followed He Yun and asked, "What's going on here? Why do I feel like this channel is constantly generating energy." He Yun used a special maintenance mecha to inspect the passage wall and replied at the same time: "You are right. The energy that supplies the entire underground shelter is not generated by the power plant, but all comes from here. It's just that the energy is not generated here, but spreads from more underground areas. " "In the more underground space, there is endless energy, which can keep the underground shelter running and squander it at will."
Wu Chang became nervous immediately after hearing this. Such words cannot be said casually. If the White Tower hears it, won't the mold spread? Pure natural unlimited energy, isn’t this stuff more fragrant than petroleum? Putting aside unlimited energy, Wu Chang is more concerned about the fact that these energies come from deeper underground. The special attributes of the Pillar of the World, combined with He Yun's words, make people think that whether there is a deeper layer of energy that is constantly being transmitted, its true appearance is the second layer of the abyss. "Are we going into a more underground area now?" He Yun shook his head and said: "It is a blocked area and entry is prohibited. We only need to patrol the outside to make sure that the fog does not leak out." Wu Chang: "Mist?" When Wu Chang was confused, he saw a slender crack of more than ten centimeters appeared on the wall of the passage not far away, and a faint white mist seeped out of it. Through the eyes of breaking magic, he saw the shadow of mysticism in the mist, but the level of mysticism contained in the mist exceeded the upper limit of the wilderness, so he could not fully analyze it, and could only vaguely detect it. A sinister force. It seems to induce a person to become obsessed with desire while simultaneously unleashing the monster within the person affected. He Yun avoided Bai Wu like a snake and a scorpion. The moment he saw Bai Wu, he immediately pulled Wu Chang back. "Don't touch that thing!" After He Yun finished speaking, he changed the maintenance armor to fully closed mode, walked into the white mist, squeezed out a special paste-like object from the maintenance armor, and repaired the cracks in the wall. Her movements were very skillful, and it only took more than ten seconds to completely repair the cracks. All that needs to be done next is to wait for the material used to repair the crack to dry completely and for the fog from the leak to dissipate. Due to the difficulty of white fog, this process usually takes dozens of minutes. But it seems different today. The white mist dissipates much faster than before, and it is actively flowing towards the rear. He Yun turned back curiously, and his whole body suddenly trembled, "You are crazy! What are you doing!" Behind her, Wu Chang did not listen to her advice, walked into the white mist, and took a big breath of the white mist. No wonder the white mist dissipates so quickly. With the addition of a living air filter, it can't dissipate faster. Seeing He Yun rushing over quickly, Wu Chang raised his hand to indicate that he was fine, and then, as if tasting the smell of perfume, he carefully savored it for a moment, and then spit out all the mist he had inhaled from his mouth. He couldn't absorb this mist. "This smell is like sweat mixed with hormones. It's indeed a bit forbidden, but you don't have to be so scared, right?" He Yun stood in the distance and watched vigilantly. After a while, after confirming that Wu Chang had no reaction, He Yun was stunned. She pointed at Wu Chang and said in surprise: "The fog of disaster has no effect on you?!" Wu Chang shrugged and said, "What effect should it have?" He Yun: "Under normal circumstances, people who inhale the fog of disaster will have their inner desires distorted into monsters, and then materialize in reality. The stronger the desire, the more fog of disaster they inhale, and the stronger the monsters they materialize." Wu Chang said innocently, "It seems that they really have no effect on me."
After perceiving the mystical structure in the fog, although he could not completely decipher it, he could see that the fog would not pose a threat to him. There are many ways to analyze the occult rituals. In addition to using the Eye of Law Breaker to violently crack it, personal experience is also one of the important ways. Fully experiencing the occult energy in the mist allows him to perceive its effect without completely deciphering the occult structure of the mist. After all, one of his talents for job transfer is called "occult control". For occultism, even if it is beyond the scope of his wilderness, he can quickly learn and master it. The idea is good, but there is a little episode. Because his will is too high, the white mist fails to judge and has no effect on him at all. With a will as high as 138, let alone in a dream, even if Lehman descends with his eyes as a medium and reveals the true body of the evil god to dance a pole dance in front of him, Wu Chang's heart will not fluctuate at all. "What a pity, I originally wanted to further analyze the ability of these disaster mists through actual experience, but it seems that it won't work." Wu Chang's face was full of regret, but He Yun's surprise on his face could not be concealed at all. She looked at the outsider who suddenly appeared in front of her, and suddenly at this moment, she suddenly understood those believers a little bit. A believer once told her that at a certain moment, people will suddenly feel the existence of fate and find that everything that happens is arranged by the gods. From then on, people will believe in the gods. At this moment, she really felt the so-called fate. Before, she ignored Wu Changai and even thought that he was a big trouble for pestering her, but now it seems that this may be a destined meeting. "Don't you want to know what happened underground? I will tell you now."
