Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 482: Amanda, the special curse, and her arrival in Penglai
Tianzhu.

Delhi Affairs Officer Qibli Unahan was looking at the report on the table in front of him and clenched his fists.

When he saw the name Amanda, Qi Boli admitted that the curry in front of him no longer tasted good.

"We arranged for a plane to fly him directly to Brunei, and asked the foreign affairs officer to contact the person from 33 Days, and told him that we would send the person they were waiting for directly to the South China Sea."

After thinking for a long time, Qi Boli issued the order and went to report to the Prime Minister alone with a pile of information.

It's terrible. Tianzhu was originally deeply affected by the pollution of the old ruler named Queen of Britain. It took nearly two months to barely stabilize the situation.Now the person who passed through four capitals of three countries, all of which were hit by the highest level of pollution disasters, hopes to stop in Delhi for a few days.

Zibberli only thought that Derry might be plowed over by monsters and then rebuilt.

We must not let this guy land, just stay on the plane and send him all the way to Brunei.

As for the written and image records of the Origin Stone that this guy wants, the relationship between Tianzhu and the academy has not been broken, so we should put more effort into finding it for him.

If the plane hadn't already been parked at the airport, Qibli would have even wanted to coordinate the plane's route when he first got the news.

Ten minutes later, the corrected plane took off again. Amanda was speechless as she looked at the letter sent by the Delhi affairs officer.

The letter expressed great regret that Amanda could not be received in person.It's just that because the state affairs are busy and I can't get away, and the Penglai matter is urgent, and there is a 33-day deadline, it is best to arrange for the plane to be ready before setting off.

Amanda looked down at the city of Delhi through the picture window, her mouth trembling a little, maybe it might be a good choice not to rest here.

Although his body is extremely resistant to the types of food and drink that humans can accept, he is still a little wary of the third brother's taste and hygiene habits in his inherent impression.

Forget it, let's stop rushing to each other and do our own things.

After adjusting her mood, Amanda looked at the map. Their destination was Brunei.

Because of some written records from ancient times, the 33-day sphere of influence has been greatly consolidated throughout East Asia, but the control of nearby small countries is not as strict as the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was not stable internally, so it felt very insecure. Even if they had the artificial giant technology and fell out with the academy, they would still be afraid of the armed forces possessed by the academy.Rather, it is precisely because of fear that he is eager to gain power and satisfy his desire for control.

And 33 days, except for the changes in dynasties throughout the ages, has always been strong.After the academy secretly changed the timeline, the so-called Qi Masters directly terminated the normal historical development of the feudal dynasty and entered a more advanced ideological stage.

33 Days maintains strong control over neighboring countries, but does not use force to oppress or seize benefits.

However, it seems particularly tough when dealing with some key issues. This time about the exploration of Penglai, the 33-day combat force has arrived at the door of Brunei.

Even the academy branch here is only responsible for technical exchanges and normal education and training. Even the combat troops here mostly select nationals who have been born for 33 days.

Fortunately, the senior management of 33 Days and the college have basically the same philosophy, and there is no mutual distrust that is unique to other Western countries.

Amanda got off the plane, and was greeted by a young man in a wheelchair, Hao Tian, ​​and several entourages.

The young man who was able to launch a sequence to suppress Flame Golzan with one person's power, except for his indifferent face, which had not changed much from before, was covered with bandages all over his body, and there was also some mild medicinal smell.

"Is this a car accident?"

Amanda asked cautiously. For a Sequencer who could forcibly control monsters to suffer such a level of harm, he couldn't have fallen down the stairs while walking.

Haotian is obviously not a lively guy. He has always been very calm. He just asked the people around him to hand Amanda a box and said:

"This is a fragment of Lucifer. A few months ago, probably when you were in London, we had a battle in the Himalayas. We were both seriously injured, and I can nurse back to health through practice. But Lucifer needs a lot of Blood sacrifice to restore it."

Amanda opened the box, and there was something like a scale lying quietly inside, quiet and cold.

He wondered: "That's not right. According to time, before Lucifer fought with you, the old pollution in Paris and London was already ready."

Haotian said calmly: "Maybe there is no conflict between the two. Welcome to Fuxi."

"Fuxi?" Amanda looked around, "Isn't this Brunei? Is Fuxi the number of my combat unit in the 33rd day, or is it something else?"

Haotian pointed at a regular-shaped island behind Amanda in the ocean in the distance and said, "That's Fuxi, a huge island weapon used to fight Penglai's reanimation."

"No, technology is so advanced now?"

Amanda was very surprised. Even in the 21st century, the technology to directly turn an island into an artificial weapon is difficult to achieve.

In other words, this thing is a technological legacy that survived before the timeline was changed.

"It was left by people from the previous era. It was not completed at that time. It was not until recently that Fuxi was activated." Haotian could see Amanda's doubts and continued to explain in detail: "Since the pre-Qin period, we have known There were problems in the overseas islands of Penglai and Fangzhang. People who sought immortality usually returned crazy, spreading chaotic and distorted cognition. The First Emperor burned many books and buried many people, thinking that he could block these cognitive pollutions. But in the end The one who was most polluted in the entire empire was himself. Fuxi started to build it at that time. In the early days, it was just an alliance of Qi refiners. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, when the world was completely connected to heaven and earth, Fuxi destroyed the abbot's reanimation. After that, science and technology continued to develop, and the island in reality where Fuxi was located was transformed to prepare for the reanimation of Penglai."

"Can the island become a living thing? Will it turn into a group of giant creatures?"

"Almost, Hazunu, Cthulhu, etc. are said to be the former body of an old ruler who left long ago, Gatan's father. Penglai and the abbot are both his bodies, and will enter the reanimation at a specific period. And during the period of slumber, because of its subtle balance of reason and madness, it is suitable as a place for Qi practitioners to pursue the path of immortality."

Haotian took Amanda all the way to the ship. The harbor here has been requisitioned for 33 days, and they just need to change the flag.

He continued: "The extreme pursuit of reason will lead to the belief that the power of the soul does not exist in this world. The extreme pursuit of idealism will easily give birth to nihilists. In fact, we must give full play to people's subjective initiative system and respect objective laws. Able to complete various tasks. It is very simple to understand this truth, but it is very difficult to actually do it. If you can practice in an area where rationality and sensibility are balanced, you can get twice the result with half the effort. Because Hasunu has left long ago, his body is The influence of reality is limited, coupled with the influence of the wave of secular conversion, the islands of Raleye have entered this state of balance. On that island, you can discover the laws of the development of things, and you can also have your own thoughts. Make things happen and distort reality. When your own mind is able to fully control this balance, you have achieved enlightenment."

"It sounds a bit difficult to understand. Can I explain it as the freedom of the mind to do whatever you want without breaking the rules?"

Amanda murmured, and that was his understanding.

It is like quantum physicists no longer struggle with quantum entanglement and double-slit interference experiments, but only make appropriate treatments for this phenomenon, rather than determined to find an absolute truth to explain these physical phenomena.

In the end, I found that I couldn't explain it at all, but I fell into the other extreme, thinking that these things couldn't be explained at all.

There may be some errors in this understanding, but in a nutshell, it means respecting reality and living with peace of mind.

"Unfortunately, the future era must be an era of complete reform. Will people fall into the danger of another civilization at that time?"

"I do not know then."

The two stopped communicating, and Amanda took advantage of the boat's sailing time to read information about Fuxi.

In all his years in the academy, he had never gotten any information about this thing.

After arriving in Fuxi, the buildings and electronic systems above were completely different from the level where the outside world had just started to burn oil. It seemed that they had truly inherited the technology of the mid-21st century from the previous era.

It's even more advanced than the early 21st century before I traveled through time.

"By the way, Taibai said that before you come, you need to find someone to pray for you to ward off evil spirits. But I'm not a superstitious person, so I refused."

Before Haotian took Amanda into Fuxi's main building, he suddenly said this in a strange tone, which made Amanda feel a little uncomfortable. He said:

"Troubles in other areas are just because the targets of cultists are cities with larger populations and higher social functions in various countries. Even if I don't go, trouble will happen there. If Fuxi has been controlled by you for generations, then it won't happen There are cultists mixed in, so don’t worry.”

"I think so too. Come on, let me introduce to you several possible responses to the reanimation of Penglai. By the way, Professor Abtis will come back at noon tomorrow, and the early survey of landing in Penglai is still in progress. At least seventeen A senior professor from the college and their team are on Penglai Island, but the survey progress is still too slow."

Haotian has very high authority here, and the journey was smooth and he arrived at a standard conference room.

Relevant personnel have prepared presentations. The first one is a three-dimensional view of a huge island, that calm and peaceful island, Penglai.

"Well, it doesn't look like the fairy mountain in my impression, but more like the uninhabited islands in some horror novels. I didn't see any traces of man-made buildings."

Amanda observed the island carefully, and to be honest, he couldn't see anything wrong.

Even Omega has no way of getting effective information without observing it himself.

He remembered that Penglai was also a manifestation of Raleye. The mother of this body came from Raleye. According to the descriptions of some Louisiana towns, the physical island of Raleye was not as scary as the dreamland. Very commonplace.

The people of the primitive tribes living above are no different from humans in terms of IQ and appearance. They have just maintained the living habits of primitive tribes for a long time and find it difficult to accept the technological changes brought about by the development of science and technology.

Except for the recent incident that the fish people had to return to R'lyeh to seek the possibility of reproduction due to the destruction of Innsmouth more than ten years ago, there does not seem to be any supernatural events recorded.

Is it possible that the generally good-looking Raleye people can only be regarded as abnormal?

The presentation continued to show some early photos of the island taken by the survey team, as well as observations of natural ecology.If the positional observations of Penglai in recent years had not shown that the island was moving across the ocean at a strange speed, Amanda would have thought that this island was really ordinary and unremarkable.

Because the natural ecology above is completely consistent with the geographical latitude of its current location, the anatomy and processing of animal carcasses in the past ten years have found that as the position of Penglai moves, the biological species above have completely smoothly completed the natural process that took thousands of years to achieve. Adaptation occurs even during the natural living stage, without waiting for the next generation to hatch.

You have to say that this thing is not in line with the laws of nature. The creatures above have evolved strictly according to the geographical location, and there is no fault that they can't adapt to it at all.

But if it conforms to the laws of nature, there are no species in the world that can automatically adapt to changes in geographical location and produce corresponding biological traits during the natural growth process.

This kind of natural environment is the place where Qigong practitioners, that is, practitioners, seek to find their way.

The information collected next surprised Amanda even more. The space in Penglai had been compressed, and there were seven more of the same size as its corresponding island space.

In addition to the abbot, which has been destroyed, the other five are scattered in various regions of the world.

The R'lyeh where Amanda's mother lives is just one of them.

But in terms of physical location, these seven islands are actually the same one, but they can be observed at the same time.

In other words, the island itself is also undergoing adaptive changes.

In the east is Penglai, and in the west is Lalaiye. The primitive tribes above are all Western races.

They appear all over the world at the same time, but if you compare them carefully, they are the same island.

This can't be explained at all, and the brain capacity will be insufficient after careful study.

"Let's continue reading. What we have seen so far is harmless information. How to explain it is a matter for scientists. What we have to look at next is the part about the enemy."

Haotian motioned to continue playing the presentation, and what appeared on the picture was a skinny figure.
