Plural Apostles

Even in the sky in this area, the stars far away emit scorching brilliance, but it only illuminates the gray-black tone on the earth. The sunlight seems to have lost its temperature, and it only reflects such an ominous and silent color.

However, on this land, there are some buildings that look absolutely unnatural. They are detected by Ai-chan, and there are signs of life activities, or evidence of signs of life activities.

The roar of tearing air reverberated on the quiet land. The speed and the air rubbed against each other to generate high temperature, forming flames that emitted light and heat. A group of extraterrestrial visitors fell on a piece of land in a simple and rude way. Compared with the falling speed, it seemed The extremely weak air wave spread out a hundred meters away from the falling point, raising a cloud of gray sand and dust, which slowly dissipated.

The only relatively large trace was six coffins smashed in a row on the ground, and there was a half-meter depression. Obviously, most of the landing impact was offset by some way.

boom--!

The lid of a coffin flew out, and Siegfried flipped out of the coffin with his head and feet on his feet, and looked around with satisfaction: "There is not much difference from the planned plan, and we arrived on the surface of the planet safely, quickly, and with little movement... But this environment..."

The rest of them crawled out of the coffin after them, looking at the surrounding environment feebly, a piece of ground that made people uncomfortable in every sense, the air was light gray, transparent with a touch of self-consciousness. His eyes were covered with mist and discomfort, the ground was gray-black, the sky was gray-black, even though the sun was still trying to release its light, it seemed so deserted and lonely.

Karen temporarily looked away, looked around, walked to Hill's coffin and pulled the lid off—the little girl appeared in front of Karen in an upside-down manner, and then slowly fell out of the coffin.

"Alas..." Supporting the dizzy Hill, he turned his head above and below his feet so that he could barely stand on the ground. Karen looked at the other's bewildered expression and comforted him softly. , "In the future, you will gradually get used to this kind of thing."

Hill shook his head vigorously, and looked at the other people who had begun to pay attention to the surrounding environment: "Don't you guys feel... Do you feel that there is something wrong with the transmission method just now?"

"Because I'm used to it." Kallen shrugged, with a sense of resignation in her tone that made Hill quite powerless, "I have no doubt that one day in the future I will encounter something like today... Well, get used to it early Well, then it won't feel like anything is wrong."

Hill tugged at the corner of his mouth weakly: "Ah... you guys are so nervous."

"Please call us grass-roots employees of the empire who have gone through all kinds of honing, and their hearts are like steel." Siegfried took out the main god. At present, the main god is much stronger than his perception accuracy and perception type, "The main god, is there any What abnormality was detected?"

The main god was very subtle and silent for a while: "I don't know what to say...Let this god do a self-examination first."

Self-check?Ji Zi picked up a stone from the ground and took a closer look. The stone was gray: "I always feel that it is very bad in various senses... the texture and material seem to be simple stones, but what is the color? "

If the color of a stone is gray, it can also be said that it is due to individual differences, but the air around it is gray and visible to the naked eye. From a distance, in addition to gray and black, there is also the white of the sun, and the rest of the eyes can intuitively feel it. The color of his body seems to be the color of his body and others.

Kneading the stone into powder and observing it carefully, he was convinced that the thing was ashes to the bone. Ji Zi clapped his hands and stood up: "Would you like to go to the place that Ai-chan mentioned that seems to be a sign of intelligent life activity?"

"Of course." Putting the Lord God, who was thinking about life, into his pocket, Siegfried looked at the others, "Do you feel uncomfortable with the environment? If you have something to say in advance, so as not to be in this strange place." What's wrong with staying on the planet for a long time."

Ji Zi shook his head: "No."

Kiyana rubbed her eyes: "...I feel my eyes are a little dazzled, like a layer of fog."

"That's normal, just get used to it."

Kallen and Leiden Mei didn't feel anything wrong, and the little girl Hill rubbed her head: "Well... I feel a little dizzy and weak, I don't know if it's affected... huh?"

Feeling it with his hand on Hill's head, Siegfried withdrew his hand: "You were just a follow-up effect of the adrenaline secretion when you fell just now, little girl, you still need to temper your courage."

At the beginning, let’s start with a space-based training method...

Hill muttered something in his heart, always felt that Siegfried was quite unreliable, and he didn't know why sister Bronya said that Siegfried was reliable in doing things, but since sister Bronya said so, there must be some truth Bar.

"Go, head over there."

A group of people walked on the desolate land, and the vision brought by their physical fitness was very broad, but the gray and transparent air and the monotonous and dark colors around them always made people feel depressed unconsciously, even Qiyana, who usually talked the most , it seemed quite quiet at this time.

There are no animals, no plants, and the gray sky does not block the sunlight, but the sunlight seems to only have a deserted and lonely light to illuminate the scenery of this gloomy land-in fact, the temperature on the ground is not particularly low, but it is so lonely. The scenery inevitably produces an inexplicable chill in people's hearts.

"Tsk, this scene always reminds me of the capital of China that I have been to." Siegfried looked at the gray air flowing around him with emotion, "I'm afraid that if I take one breath, I won't be able to take another one."

Ji Zi casually echoed Siegfried's words: "Yes, I have also been to the capital of China for business before, and the smog problem there is indeed very serious. After walking around the streets, I felt ten catties heavier. "

"The smog... I always feel that the air environment here is worse than the smog." Lei Dianmei rubbed his eyes that felt a little uncomfortable, "I walked all the way, not to mention animals, I can't even see a plant, Is this planet really a planet with life?"

"Ai-chan may make a wrong detection, but the Empire can't make a wrong detection, right? I think it would be better if there is nothing going on here, but it seems unlikely..." Karen said casually, and suddenly stopped her steps, tense Then he ran forward quickly, "Everyone, follow up! There is something there!"

The others rushed over quickly, and Mengxin Hill, who was silently listening to the other people's conversation, was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly chased after a group of people who had already run a thousand meters away: "Everyone, wait for me!! "

On the gray and white desolate land, there are gray and white ruins - what emerges in everyone's eyes is a stretch of buildings, houses, and sentry towers, just like the human civilization on the earth. Although it is called a city, there is actually no city at all. city ​​walls.

Because the defensive city wall is nothing more than a superfluous building that hinders the expansion of the city after losing its defensive ability. A city without a city wall is either a civilization that has developed to the point where the city wall has no effect in war mode, or it is civilization. Unification has been achieved and internal wars have been eliminated.

For Siegfried and the others, even if the stretch of buildings in front of them is monotonous in gray and black, it can at least prove that there is intelligent life on this planet, and it has developed to a certain extent.

Walking into the city, everyone didn't feel any breath of life. Everything was still monotonous and cold. Karen reached out and touched a nearby room. A crack spread from the place she touched in an instant, scaring her so that she hurriedly withdrew her hand.

Ji Zi glanced thoughtfully at Siegfried around him: "Siegfried, did you find anything?"

Siegfried reached out his hand and touched the crack on the wall of the house. Without too much effort, he dug out a piece of the wall, and the matter was crushed into invisible particles in his hands. During this process, the matter The information carried by itself was also observed by him.

Slightly closing the palms together, a piece of particles was rebuilt into a gray-black solid substance.

"A building material, which can be understood as cement, but this kind of material does not exist on the earth. It should be made by the civilization on this planet... But these buildings have been neglected and repaired for a long time. Already." Siegfried tossed the building materials in his hand, "The long time has caused serious wear and tear on the material itself, a little external force may cause the building to collapse, everyone should try to be careful when exploring."

"A long time..." Ji Zi frowned slightly and looked around, "The long time you mentioned...earthquakes, storms, etc. came from the impact of the planet's own environmental cycle, and it should have been able to turn this city into a ruin long ago. and ruins, right? But the city we have seen is too well preserved."

"Yeah, it's too complete, there must be a reason for it, maybe it's this planet, maybe some special power, maybe it's other factors..."

Siegfried glanced at the building materials in his hand: "For example, this thing...the so-called color is the effect between matter, light and vision, but according to my detection and observation of this material To infer, logically speaking, this thing should be white. I dismantled it to the point where I couldn't observe it, but still haven't found out what made it turn into this color. After reorganization and gathering, it It's still the same color."

Everyone searched in this city separately. They spent a long time in this city. Walking on the streets, there was a feeling of soft dust piled up on their feet, as if a force would sink into quicksand.

Holding a scythe as long as himself, Hill carefully followed Siegfried, watched Siegfried look around from time to time, chose a house to search, picked up some strange things and received them somewhere To... seems to be working seriously?

"Well, Siegfried... what are we doing now?" Hill looked around vigilantly, and asked Siegfried, who was looking in the house, "This city makes me feel a little uneasy."

"It's right to be uneasy. We are saving the world, and we will definitely encounter some situations, so be prepared, little girl, but don't worry, safety is definitely guaranteed. As an assistant who has registered with the empire, even if You are dead, and the next second you open your eyes, you will be resurrected, and those who work in our line of work must learn to ignore life and death—you can be resurrected anyway.”

Siegfried frightened the little girl without changing his face. He looked at the bookcase in front of him with a little regret, or a pile of garbage mixed with fragments-although the building materials were preserved as a whole, the stability of other materials was not stable. Can't resist the erosion of time.

Although its physical structure can be restored, the things recorded in the books cannot be restored, but the most important thing to them is the latter.
