Twelve Trials from Scratch

She said, turned and left.

Rita stared at her back, her eyes flickering, her palms were slowly clenched subconsciously, but after all, she still didn't make a move ahead of time.

Snake... Is it a coincidence that she said this word?

Thinking about this question repeatedly in her heart, she followed silently with a gloomy face.

……

Not long after, a group of people who were going to the Tianming headquarters finally gathered here on the No. [-] apron of the Far East branch airport.

"Zhang Qian committed suicide?"

Hearing the news, Su Qi's face flashed with astonishment, but there was not much surprise in his heart.Because before he bet Zhang Qian on Huberian that night, the latter vaguely revealed this meaning at the end.

But Su Qi didn't try to save him.It's not that I don't have the ability, but that I don't want to do it.

In the case of the artificial collapse of the Far East branch, even if the other party did have difficulties, it was not a reason why a large number of innocent people were killed without paying the price.Just like what they said in their conversation before, Su Qi can inherit his will and kill Otto, or he can help him take care of his wife and daughter (if he has one) for the sake of the same front, but he will not Risking the risk of a sideways plan to forcefully save such a stranger.

"That man...is he dead..."

Teresa's face was a little ugly, but she didn't feel sad for Zhang Qian's death.

The other party was the "culprit" who caused a large number of casualties in the Far Eastern Branch. Even if there was a reason for the incident, she, as the leader, would not be able to forgive it easily.She was just ashamed because of something—since the "culprit" was dead, where was the real culprit?Shouldn't there be a price to pay?

"Everyone, the other shipboard personnel are already in place, and the scheduled departure time is almost past, how about we board the ship first?"

The transport ship Helios was not specially dispatched to escort them, but went to the headquarters for a routine resource transportation mission, so the four of them should actually be hitchhiking, and that's why Rita reminded them.

"That's right, don't cause trouble for others, hurry up, let's board the ship right away."

Under the urging of Teresa with a sense of ownership, everyone immediately boarded the transport ship Helios, which is nearly [-] meters in length and one size larger than Hyperion.

Next, because it took about ten hours to reach the headquarters of Tianming from the Far East Branch, everyone started to split up as a matter of course.

Teresa, who was short of sleep, naturally fell asleep in the room, while Su Qi went to the fitness activity room on the ship for unshakable knife swing practice, and seemed to be in a corner of the activity room with Fu Hua, who was also restless. meet by chance.

But at the moment when the two figures crossed each other, a golden feather fell from his eyes. With a thought in Su Qi's mind, his consciousness sank instantly, and he came to the subconscious level in his heart.

……

It was still that strange space composed of countless Rubik's cubes and iron chains, where Su Qi, who was still in pajamas, and Fu Hua, who was dressed as an immortal Chi Yuan, met here.

As for why the two didn't use a personal terminal to communicate, it was because Su Qi suspected that Otto might also be good at computing technology.

After all, there are so many mechas controlled by artificial intelligence in the headquarters of Destiny, and the real core database of Destiny can't be broken through by Bronya, a genius hacker girl. In addition, there is the first God's Key Void Wan which contains a lot of information about the civilization of the previous generation. Hidden in hand, it is almost impossible for Otto to not dabble in this aspect.

Therefore, under the circumstances that Otto has been focusing on, who knows if he will eavesdrop through the personal terminals of the destiny system on the two of them? When Su Qi and Fu Hua talked last night, of course, he also took off the personal terminals in advance. Apart from.

Standing on the top of the huge Rubik's Cube, Su Qi asked straight to the point: "How was the situation after going back last night?"

"As you expected, Otto really won't believe it easily..."

After Fu Hua finished speaking, he recounted the conversation between himself and Otto last night in detail.

"Otto must have been suspicious of you. Of course, I am the object of suspicion. With his past behavior, do you think he will really deal with me honestly?"

"It's very unlikely because he doesn't trust anyone."

In the past five hundred years, just as Ao Tuo knew Fu Hua very well, Fu Hua also knew Ao Tuo.

"Especially when it comes to Kallen's resurrection, he will never listen to other people's empty words, and will only enter your consciousness to track it down."

She solemnly warned: "Otto's Void Manzang can imitate the power of other God's Keys, and Yu Duchen is no exception. At the same time, he has been secretly preventing me from using Yu Duchen against him over the years, even several times You want to 'lose' my Yu Duchen by beating around the bush. So you better be careful, even if you use Yu Duchen, you may not be able to control Otto easily."

"I understand this too, but it's worth a try." Su Qi said: "In order to get the method to revive Kallen, Otto will definitely meet me in person, and I have a great advantage in the confrontation of consciousness, and it is almost impossible to lose .”

"But Otto also understands this. Even if he wants to sneak into your consciousness, he will definitely find a way to weaken you first."

"I'm not a vegetarian either, it depends on who of us can have the last laugh."

Seeing that the other party knew what was in his mind, Fu Hua didn't say any more, and said directly: "After leaving the space of consciousness, I will hand over Yu Duchen to you."

Su Qi glanced at her, "Is there any problem with you?"

"Your side is the priority. Besides, I still have the grasp of Taixu. As long as I am prepared to guard against it, even if Otto wants to attack me, it should not be difficult to get away."

"But Yu Duchen will be a little conspicuous without Yu Duchen?"

"It doesn't matter. In order to deal with Otto's coveting of Yu Duchen, I prepared a lot of hair accessories of the same style. Besides, don't you know? Yu Duchen actually doesn't have a fixed form, and can be used according to the user's thoughts. To change shape, you only need to inject relevant strong ideas."

"Oh, my research time yesterday was too short, and I haven't discovered this yet."

"So... let's stop here, is there anything else you want to say?"

Su Qi looked at Fu Hua, smiled and said: "I found that your tone seems to be much more decisive, have you made up your mind?"

"We have been stagnant for too long, both me and Shenzhou must grow..."

Fu Hua's voice was calm and firm. The next moment, the figure gradually disappeared, and the consciousness was withdrawn from the subconscious space.

……

A few hours later, the headquarters of Destiny, located in St. Jude's Cathedral on the central floating island.

Under the dome of the sacred and magnificent hall, Archbishop Otto stood with his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and quietly stared at the giant cross standing directly in front of him.

Bright sunlight shines in through the stained glass windows at the rear, and a large golden cross bathes in it.The lifelike "Son of God" statue of Jesus opened his arms and closed his feet. His struggling and writhing body was tightly bound to the cross. His distorted face was full of pain, and his heart was pierced by a spear. It looked divine and dazzling. Grim and bloody.

There is no doubt that the organization called "Destiny" in the collapsed world is based on the Catholicism of Su Qi's earth plane.However, the teachings of the two sides are exactly the opposite. Catholicism believes in gods and expects to be redeemed in the final judgment; while the destiny is to kill the gods by man (Honkai will), rebelling against the destiny, striving for survival with human strength, and striving for self-improvement.

The representative figure of the differences between the two sides is Judas.In this world, Judas is not the traitor who was shot out, but the hero who saved mankind.

Why is there such a difference?

Because in this world, "Jesus" is the son of Houkai, the embodiment of some kind of Houkai disaster, trying to use miracles such as endless food and distorted teachings of great love to degenerate human beings into a comfortable life of giving and receiving , let them gradually indulge in their own desires, and turn them into salted fish, bringing their own destruction.

But Judas, who was a disciple of Jesus, discovered his sinister intentions, and finally turned against him and successfully crucified him. ——This is also the symbol of the Mandate of Heaven, the reason why the binding key of the Eleventh God's Key is named "Judas' Oath".

"Killing the gods... killing the body..."

Looking at the crucifix pierced by a spear, Otto muttered softly, recalling something that happened between the Second Great Crash thirteen years ago.

At that time, he used Yu Duchen's power to enter the second Herrscher Sirin's consciousness space, and by deceiving Herrscher Sirin, he saw the said to be omniscient and omnipotent, and was called "God" in ancient times.

"Please tell me the answer, Lord God! I want to know how to bring the dead back to life. I want to save my most important person. Her name is Karen Kaslana. To save her, I will do anything! Please!" Please, please tell me what exactly I need to do to bring her back to life!"

In that pure white space, Otto completely abandoned his duty and dignity as the bishop of destiny, kneeling on the ground and begging his greatest enemy to give him salvation.

However, the other party who seems to know all the knowledge in the world did not give a direct answer, but smiled mockingly, first showed Otto the crimes he had committed in the past, and then changed into Otto's appearance, wielding a sword Penetrate yourself completely.

At that time, he didn't understand the meaning of the "God"'s actions. Until now, he finally vaguely guessed the truth of the answer.But he didn't immediately act according to that answer, because the Archbishop of Destiny, Otto, didn't believe in anyone, including "God" of course.

"Lord Otto."

At this time, a girl with an exquisite figure, long white hair tied into braids, a golden mask covering the upper half of her face, a girl in a black short-sleeved short skirt, and a long transparent cloak made of glass fiber came over. , stopped behind Otto.

The latter didn't look back, but just said lightly, "Amber, how are you getting ready?"

"Except for Master Rita who is rushing back, all the members of the Immortal Blade have assembled, and all kinds of mech weapons have been arranged in place, just waiting for the prey to step into the net."

"Very good, go and bring Yolandelle here, she should have something to say to me, right?"

"Yes, as soon as Urandale came back, she clamored to see Lord Otto, but before that, there is one more important thing to report to you."

"Oh, since even you say it's important, let's listen to it."

The girl named Amber lowered her head slightly, and said in a solemn tone: "Master Otto, according to the latest reports from various branches, the Honkai energy index around the world has suddenly increased significantly, and the change curve is abnormally upward. A completely different new type of Houkai beast appeared in the Houkai disaster. According to the discussion of the researchers, this probably symbolizes... another big leap in the scale of the Houkai disaster."

Chapter 38 The world of mobile games is like this

"The scale of the Honkai disaster has leapt forward again?"

Otto was slightly taken aback, frowned and said to himself, "According to the Honkai development model established by the 'Void Zang' for the evolution of the Heben generation civilization, the next Honkai energy transition node should not have arrived yet, why is it so fast?"

Suddenly, his eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something, he immediately asked, "Hu Po, when did the abnormality start?"

"According to calculations, it should be around [-]:[-] p.m. to midnight the night before yesterday, and the time almost coincides with the man-made collapse in Canaan."

Otto said categorically: "No, the cause of the mutation is definitely not the artificial collapse. With the scale of that artificial collapse, it is far from being able to advance the collapse to the next jump node. The real mutation There are other reasons for the change..."

When he said this, a person's name naturally appeared in his mind - Su Qi.

"Honkai" is intelligent, and the knowledge it possesses is even beyond the scope of human understanding today, so it was regarded as an omniscient and omnipotent god in ancient times. For this, Otto, who once faced the will of Honkai, Couldn't be more clear.

That being the case, if that man is really an outsider from a parallel world, carrying power enough to make the Honkai Will feel threatened, and being detected by the Honkai Will, then he, who has allowed the Honkai disaster to develop freely since ancient times, will suddenly change It is not impossible to respond proactively.

Thinking of this, Otto laughed, "Interesting, I'm getting more and more interested in what's hidden in that man."

"That man? Could it be that Master Otto thinks that the man named Su Qi is the reason for the sudden change of Honkai?"

"Besides him, are there other variables outside our calculations?"

"But... just one person has an influence equivalent to the leap of the entire human civilization level, causing the collapse to be stimulated and mutated... This kind of thing is indeed a bit unimaginable."

"Eliminate all impossible options, and the remaining one, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth."

Otto said calmly: "Whether it is my reason or intuition, I think that the man named Su Qi is the reason, but the most important thing is not this... Amber, since the scale of the Houkai disaster has suddenly expanded, there should be more casualties." The increase, right? What is the specific situation?"

"Yes."

The girl respectfully said: "Only counting the data of yesterday, the number of Honkai disasters has increased significantly, which is more than twice the daily average number this year. In addition, because of the newly appeared humanoid Honkai beasts, the number of Honkai disasters in various places has increased significantly. The suppression force has not yet established an effective response plan, and the number of casualties is more than five times the usual rate.

"In addition, at 36:24:3 this morning, a 36S-level Honkai disaster broke out in Istanbul. So far, there have been one pseudo-hersers and two humanoid emperor-level Honkai beasts, causing casualties. There were more than [-] people. Among them, the Herrscher was killed by the Ulandal who arrived later, an emperor-level Houkai beast was killed by the local suppression force with a Houkai fission bomb, and there was only one emperor left. The Super Honkai Beast is still entangled with the besieging troops because of its extremely strong anti-detection ability and extraordinary speed."

"Oh, it's still within the tolerance range... Humanoid... Heh, has the Honkai Will finally abandoned the idea of ​​making weapons like a big target?"

Otto was not moved by the tragic casualties at all, and even laughed at the monotonous form of the Honkai Beast.But I have to say that his sarcasm was very reasonable.

Advance-level Honkai Beasts, Knight-level Honkai Beasts, Ballista-level Honkai Beasts, Chariot-level Honkai Beasts, Guardian Death Warriors, Ranger Death Warriors, Dual Sword Death Warriors...Since [-] BC to the present, There are only a dozen kinds of enemies that Honkai created for human civilization, and according to the records left by the civilization of the previous generation, the Honkai beasts of the previous generation turned out to be these familiar "old friends".

Regarding this weird situation, some young researchers in Tianming who specialize in Honkai from Shenzhou even laughed at themselves. I am afraid that this world is not a low-quality domestic mobile game. The model goes back and forth repeatedly for the player to fuck, with no regard for the player's gaming experience.

As for the player's level improvement, what if the monsters are not beaten?Then increase the body size, strengthen the value, and then make some micro-innovations on the basis of the original model, and occasionally create some freshness to cope with it.Therefore, the type of Houkai beast remained the same, but with the development of civilization, its size became larger and larger, until now there are even cases of emperor-level Houkai beasts with a size of one thousand meters.

But the bad thing is the bad thing, everyone knows that the will of the collapse cannot be so rigid, and the power shown in the previous generation is not limited to this.So there is speculation that the will of the collapse is likely to be restricted by certain rules, and it cannot go all out at the beginning to immediately destroy the weak human civilization.

Of course, it is also possible that the will of the collapse is indeed fishing, but this possibility is too small to be convincing.

"Master Otto, in order to cope with the intensifying Honkai disaster, members of the Red Clothes Society believe that our destiny must be adjusted accordingly as soon as possible, and let me ask you for any instructions."

Otto said indifferently: "The Destiny does need to respond to the change of the collapse, but for me, the most important thing now is to take out the method of resurrecting Kallen from that man's mouth. As for the other... you Tell them, unless the Herrscher arrives, let them figure out other things first."

Amber hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head, "Yes, Lord Otto, I will convey your instructions to them immediately."
