Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 251 The Past of the World

Whoa-!
A few seconds later, Xin Lailai, who had finished flipping through the newspaper in his hand, picked up another newspaper and continued reading. The sound of scrolling pages sounded in the silent city, as if it was the only sound here.

"Okay...so fast."

Quan Momo stared at Xin Lailai in shock. Although she knew that contractors with high intelligence attributes would be extremely efficient when it comes to learning knowledge, Xin Lailai could only read a book in a few seconds. The speed of the newspaper still shocked her.

In fact, after receiving 80 points of additional ability strengthening effects, Xin Lailai can now read a 1-word reading in one minute if he wants to. Of course, this is limited to those who only need to obtain information. when.

Although the improvement of intelligence attributes will not increase IQ and experience, it will actually upgrade the 'hardware' such as computing power and thinking speed.

"call……!"

Ten minutes later, Xin Lailai put down the newspaper in his hand, closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and quickly sorted out the information he had obtained in the past ten minutes.

"Biao... Mr. Performer, how are you doing?"

Quan Momo asked curiously.

"The harvest is pretty good. At least now I know where we are, and I also have a general understanding of what happened in this world before we arrived."

Xin Lailai opened his eyes and spoke. He did not look at Quan Momo, but looked at the collapsed wall beside him and hooked his fingertips.

Hum rumble——!
A hand made of magic chips appeared, lifted the collapsed wall, and took out the world map buried beneath it.

"If nothing else, this should be where we are now."

General Xin Lailai said, using the magic chip to point out a location on the map.

"This is... Australia? We are in Australia now?!"

Quan Momo looked at the location pointed out by Xin Lailai, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.

She always thought that they were actually on the main stage of the plot of the Black Bullet World, which is the East Asia region where Japan is located.

As a result, Xin Lailai suddenly told her that now, let alone Asia, they had even gone directly to the Southern Hemisphere.

"Yes, although it is a bit unbelievable, the fact is that we seem to be far away from the main stage now?"

Xin Lailai said with a smile, as if he didn't care at all that he was thrown into such a remote place, and continued:

"Not only that, the time point we are entering now, according to the original plot of Black Bullet, should be exactly two years after the protagonist in the original work, Satomi Rentaro, killed Scorpio."

Xin Lailai glanced at the time displayed on the electronic clocks that Ling Yuzi had picked up from the rubble, took out a newspaper, and spread it out on the table.

"This is……"

"What is recorded here is probably the beginning of changes in this world...or an important turning point."

Hearing this, Quan Momo looked at the newspaper Xin Lailai had laid out, and struggled to identify the content with his limited foreign language proficiency:
"The latest news is that Professor Arthur Shanak, Minister of the Australian Headquarters and the top person in charge of the [Obelisk] Research Institute, has successfully developed a method to stabilize the magnetic field of obelisk steel..."

Arthur Shanak?Who is this?
Quan Momo looked at the content above, with a look of confusion in her eyes. Her knowledge of Black Bullet was limited to the anime that had no follow-up in the current world, and other things were completely unclear.

"Arthur Shanak, in the original work of Black Bullet, is one of the four top scientists who research Sotron technology, along with Sumire Muroto who is beside the protagonist Rentaro Satomi."

"The principle of Mario Jet Arms he developed has been used in large-scale military weapons. The final product is the sub-light speed electromagnetic weapon used by Rentaro Satomi in the original work to kill Scorpio, one of the twelve signs of the zodiac - the Sky Ladder .”

"Wait a minute, was this person the one who originally developed that thing?"

Quan Momo said with a confused look on her face. Although she didn't know many things, she still had a very deep memory of the super electromagnetic gun in the Black Bullet anime that killed Stage V with one shot.

"Not entirely, but without the theory he developed, people in this world probably wouldn't be able to build something as outrageous as a ladder to heaven."

Xin Lailai said, picked up another newspaper, looked at the content on it, and said:

"In fact, the more important thing is actually the [Anchao Steel] mentioned above."

Dark steel?
Quan Momo continued to look at the newspaper that Xin Lailai had put up, and saw that in this newspaper, a photo was particularly conspicuous:

In the photo, a man dressed in different clothes is standing on the outskirts of the city, looking up at the scene in front of him, cheering happily.

Right in front of the crowd, a huge black stone monument that is 1.6 kilometers high and 1 kilometer wide is standing there, towering into the clouds.

"The first Anchao monument in history was successfully constructed, and mankind officially took the first step to regain its homeland..."

Quan Momo read it word by word, looking at the bright black stone monument in the photo, and finally realized something.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Performer, could the An Bao Gang mentioned above be..."

"Yes, it's the mutated steel you refined before."

Xin Lailai said, staring at the contents of the newspaper, squinting slightly, and said:

"Two years ago, or on May 2031, 5 in this world, after the Japanese policeman Rentaro Satomi used a ladder to kill Scorpio, a heavy black rain suddenly fell on the whole world."

"No one paid much attention to the heavy rain at first, but it didn't take long for people in this world to discover that the important resource they had always relied on for survival, steel, began to mutate on a large scale."

"A deeper color, a darker pattern, and a more difficult-to-measure magnetic field effect... For various reasons, people in this world decided to call the mutated Haogang Dark Haogang."

"Not only that, people in this world soon discovered that the suppressive effect of dark steel on gastrea is more than ten times stronger than that of ordinary steel. The stage III gastrea originally needed to be killed with concentrated shells. , after replacing it with dark gun steel, you only need an ordinary dark gun bullet to get it done."

"At the same time, the giant stone stele made of Anchao steel is far more effective than the giant stone stele made of Anchao steel in resisting the attack of gastrea. Only one Anchao steel monument is needed to ensure that there will be no more attacks within a ten-kilometer area. Invasion of gastrula.”

"So, in just one month, regions all over the world began to rebuild the megalithic stele and replace it with the Anchao Stele. At the same time, various research institutes began to concentrate all their manpower and material resources on studying the properties of Anchao Steel. stand up."

"Finally, they discovered the most important use of Anbao Steel compared to that of Anbao Steel——"

Xin Lailai said, pointing to one of the newspapers on the table, and saw a scene in a ward featured on it. On a snow-white hospital bed, there was a man with black hair and red eyes, about ten years old. The little girl was talking with the doctor next to her with a happy smile.

At the top of the photo, a line of eye-catching titles is marked:

"Major breakthrough, Dr. Sumire Muroto in Tokyo, Japan successfully cured patients with an erosion rate of more than 50%"

"That is, Anchaosteel can significantly reduce the virus erosion rate of people infected with gastrula virus, and even achieve a near-complete cure."

"Not only that, after repeated research, people in this world soon discovered that dark steel can not only reduce the erosion rate of gastrulovirus, but also reduce the strength of those cursed children who are congenitally infected with gastrulovirus. It would not have any impact." "So, in just one week, laws on the sale of cursed sons were enacted in various parts of the world, making the sale of cursed sons legal..."

"Buying... law of buying and selling?"

When Quan Momo heard Xin Lailai's story, a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

"Yes, the law of buying and selling. Don't you think that if you find a cure, the people of this world will become gentle towards those cursed children?"

Xin Lailai glanced at Quan Momo and said in a playful voice. The voice reached Quan Momo's ears through the mask, making the little miner shudder involuntarily.

The world of black bullets is an almost twisted world.

In the background of this world, due to the emergence of gastrea, most people in the world have been displaced and their families have been destroyed.

Not only that, driven by a series of factors such as fear, anger, violence, etc., people in this world have transferred their hatred of gasterozoans to those who were infected with gasterozoans in the womb due to their existence. The virus affects babies who are born with red eyes that are different from ordinary people.

The final result is that the evil that cursed the entire world is tilted towards a group of children under the age of ten.

"Long-term discrimination has already determined that even if there is a method to curb erosion, the people of this world will still not have any improvement in their attitude towards the Cursed Children. Instead, they will persecute them even more intensely and squeeze out their value. .”

"Before there was dark steel, they were tools that were risky to use. With dark steel, they are tools that can be used with peace of mind. This is the only use of these cursed children in the eyes of people in this world."

"Of course, judging from the results, they did get a lot of benefits from this."

Xin Lailai said, throwing out a magic blade and nailing a newspaper on the table:
"Great news: According to the latest news from IISO, the United World Army has successfully recovered 60% of the lost land, and our homeland will soon be back in our hands"

"At least, the humans in this world have indeed taken back their own one-third of an acre by forcing a group of ten-year-old children to go to the battlefield, right, haha?"

Xin Lailai said with a sneer, looking at the dilapidated scene on the street, as if he was mocking something.

Quan Momo turned his head and looked at the lifeless ruins of the city in front of him, and then looked at the newspapers on the table. He felt like there was something stuck in his throat, and he wanted to say it but couldn't.

"Did you suddenly feel that it was great that they failed in the end?"

The voice sounded in Quan Momo's mind as if carrying some kind of magic power. The young man wearing a black and white mask suddenly came to Quan Momo's ear and whispered:

"Don't be afraid. This is a normal thought. Just follow your heart."

The devil-like whisper made Quan Momo's breath suffocate slightly, but the next second she shook her head quickly, shivered, looked at Xin Lailai in front of her tremblingly, and whispered:

"Then... well, Mr. Performer, why don't you tell me what happened after that."

"After? There is no after. As you can see, this city suffered a disaster suddenly."

"Imagine that when people are gathering together, chatting about the good news from today's newspapers, and looking forward to tomorrow, disaster suddenly and without warning falls from the sky, bringing irresistible fear and despair..."

Xin Lailai said with a hint of smile, opening his arms as if embracing the dilapidated city in front of him.

Quan Momo stood behind, looking at Xin Lailai's back, swallowing his saliva, feeling a chill running down his spine for no reason.

"Woo-!"

Suddenly, a whistle-like whistle sounded from above the heads of the three people. When Quan Momo heard the sound, a look of panic flashed in his eyes, and he quickly raised his head and looked above his head.

In the sky, a huge black shadow slowly descended from the sky. Its huge body seemed to cover the sky. Amid the roar of the storm, it dragged a shadow that could cover the city towards their direction.

"Executive...performer, it, it seems..."

Quan Momo looked at the giant bat-like beast pressing towards them and said tremblingly, the look of fear in his eyes getting stronger.

"Well, you're right, this time... it's coming for us."

Xin Lailai looked up at the scene in the sky and said with a chuckle.

boom!
A loud noise suddenly sounded, and the ground in front of the three people suddenly shattered. A worm creature with a strong corpse smell rushed out of the ground and stopped next to the three people.

When Quan Momo saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, even if the monster targets them, they can still escape directly.

"Master performer, let's hurry up... eh?"

Quan Momo looked at Xin Lailai and Ling Yuzi with excitement, and then saw Xin Lailai take out the huge black sword that was bigger than her and switch it to rail gun mode in front of her. , aiming at the giant bat-like beast swooping down in the sky.

Wait, is this supposed to be...!
Quan Momo looked at the scene in front of him and seemed to realize something. His eyes widened, and the next second——

Pong!
The sound of the trigger being pulled exploded in Quan Momo's ears. The ground beneath Xin Lailai's feet cracked apart under the huge recoil. In Quan Momo's horrified eyes, a beam of light two meters wide rose into the sky. It instantly hit the giant beast in the sky.

boom--!
In an instant, the entire sky was illuminated into a vast expanse of white. The star-breaking cannon formed with 10000 mana points exploded into a huge energy storm at the moment it collided with the giant beast in the sky. With a huge roar, the giant was blown away. The whole body of the beast was penetrated.

"Go up there yourself and it will take you underground to hide."

Xin Lailai's voice sounded, and Quan Momo, who held his breath, looked towards the other party, only to see that the other party was staring at the giant beast roaring angrily in the sky.

"Then...what about you, boss?"

Quan Momo looked away and asked a question for no reason that even she herself knew the answer to.

"Me? Of course I stayed on the ground."

A chuckle sounded, and Xin Lailai turned around and glanced at Quan Momo. In an instant, a strong sense of fear rose from the soles of Quan Momo's feet.

Under the black and white smiling mask, the pair of dark pupils, which usually showed no emotion, were showing a look of madness that was difficult to describe in words.

"After all, wouldn't it be a pity to let such a good mount go?"

The young man wearing a black and white mask said with a creepy smile. With a flick of his arm, the dark cannon in his hand turned into a giant sword again. Then he stepped hard, and with the explosion in the air, a sword swooped down. The angry beast slashed away.

　PS: Regarding the plot of Black Bullet, just treat it as an original background. After all, the old Zidian thief has written seven volumes before becoming a eunuch. There is very little information for reference...
