I really only stop

While Lu Xi was hesitating, the holy gunman beside him gave a clean answer:

"Luci and I came here for the sole purpose of completing the [Holy Light Trial]. As for more, we don't know."

Come on!Forget about the [honest] chivalry character that this silly knight girl insists on, she won't lie at all!

Now that Cocoa's words had been spoken, Lu Xi, who was already a little hesitant, naturally no longer struggled, and waited with bated breath for the reply from Themis.

"……yes."

Without the loss as imagined, the gentle smile on Themis' face disappeared for a moment, and then became perfect again:

"Themis will continue to wait for the messenger from the outside world until he completes his mission. As for now, please let me continue to show the two of you around the city."

Looking at Cocoa, Lu Xi nodded and said:

"please."

--------------

"[Immortal life] was a taboo in the past, and it has an insurmountable threshold no matter from a technical or ethical perspective."

While leading the way, Themis introduced:

"However, with the explosive growth of technology, immortality, which was once out of reach in the past, seems to be no longer an unattainable realm. Even without using the life seal of the elves, there are still many ways to go by relying on alchemy technology alone."

"Until the sky city Themis sank into the ground, there was no reliable information about the realization of immortality technology. However, during the self-enclosed period of Themis, a new magical power allowed people to step on the steps of [immortality] became possible."

"There will be output only when there is demand. Facing the situation of extreme scarcity of materials, the researchers of Themis studied carefully, and finally launched a cross-age alchemy work-[Holy Light Body Transformation Array]. As long as you enter the transformation array , the original body will be sanctified and become an [immortal] existence similar to elemental life."

I don't know when he stopped, Themis turned his body slightly, and made a 'please' gesture to Lu Xi and Cocoabi behind him:

"Then, please enter this magic circle now, both of you."

"Oh... No, no, no! Wait, wait, wait!"

Because the tone of Themis' invitation was too natural, Cocoa subconsciously wanted to step into the holy magic formation in front of him, and he could barely react before his footsteps fell:

"Why, why did you suddenly let us achieve [eternal life]?!"

"According to the data stored in the database of Themis, not all beings of the immortal species have a nearly fanatical desire for [immortality]."

He tilted his head in some puzzlement, and Themis showed a trace of just-right doubt on his face:

"I do not understand the reason for your questioning me."

"Oh! Suddenly saying that people can live forever is really..."

After being dumbfounded for a while, the upright knight Cocoa, who was unable to communicate with the AI ​​smoothly, dropped his shoulders in frustration:

"...I don't know what to say, Lu Xi, come here!"

"I think Cocoa meant 'we don't understand why you're doing this'."

Looking down at the complex formation engraved on the ground, Lu Xi thought for a while:

"The purpose of our coming here is just to participate in a [Trial] that you have never heard of, and it has nothing to do with the [Operation Code: Tinder] and [Eternal Life] you just mentioned. Do you understand this explanation? ?”

"...Sorry, although the center didn't understand, I can record your explanation as the standard answer to this question in the library."

With an apologetic bow, Themis added:

"However, you and your companions seem to know nothing about [Operation Code Tinder]. In that case, please come here with me. After seeing the experiments that Themis has insisted on for thousands of years, you Maybe they will understand the judgment of the center."

"..."

There is absolutely no room for rejection.

Seeing Themis' gentle yet resolute movements, Lu Xi and Cocoa exchanged glances, and finally raised their legs to keep up.

------------

"Lu Xi, I feel that things are getting more and more wrong here."

Taking advantage of Themis leading the way, Cocoa whispered to Lu Xi:

"First, there are a lot of nouns that I don't understand at all, and there are records from ten thousand years ago, and now even immortality has come? Do you remember why we came here? It was obviously just to pass the test of the Holy Light. !"

"You ask me, who am I going to ask?"

Sighing helplessly, Lu Xi also replied in a low voice:

"Just now Themis said 'you are the first visitors in ten thousand years', which means that what we are in now is definitely not an ordinary [Trial of Holy Light]—but what can you do? This is not For the copy in the video game, if you don’t want to play it, just click [Exit]. Let me ask you, how did the original Holy Light Trial end?”

"Hmm... I heard from the seniors who have gone through trials for more than 20 years, that it is like a maze in the outside world, and it ends very simply after passing the end."

Seriously poking his head, Cocoa recalled the information he got from other people during the preview:

"Although the senior said that 'everyone encounters different trials', it can probably be counted within the scope of the [ordinary maze]—seeing the scale of this so-called [Themis], it must be It's far beyond the level of some [maze]!"

It is hard to imagine the shock that a whole city in the sky, which has experienced years of baptism, is still largely intact, and even the control center can function normally.After all, she is not like Mr. Hulu, a certain AI communication professional, who has already experienced an adventure in Sky City.

The biggest victims of the aura of the protagonist's troubles are the people around him, even the holy gunman will feel uneasy in the face of such a divine development.

"Calm down, take one step at a time."

Rubbing the purple-haired Holy Spearman's head reassuringly, Lu Xi encouraged:

"What we are facing now is a super-historical puzzle from thousands of years ago. Put aside things like trials, rewards, and the like for the time being, and don't just focus on the results. The most important thing is the insights gained from the process. of!"

"..."

Obviously it was the first time his head was touched by the opposite sex, but surprisingly, Cocoa didn't have the slightest intention to slap that hand away.

Faced with such a strange environment, subconsciously looking for a subtle psychology to rely on is one aspect. The most important thing is what Lu Xi just said.

[Don't just focus on the result, the perception in the process is also very important. 】

That's right, His Holiness the Pope also told me this before departure.

Staring silently at Lu Xi in front of her, Cocoa blinked.

Could this man in front of him actually say the same words as His Majesty the Pope?

...Perhaps, this is the reason why Your Majesty said that I can [learn] from him.

The original resistance had completely disappeared, and the holy spear who had been walking in front of Lu Xi to protect him made the girl subtly slow down her pace, and moved forward side by side with him.

Perhaps, this slight change also means something.

------------

"You two, we have arrived at our destination."

Stopping at the door of a tall eggshell-shaped building, Themis smiled and said:

"This is the living place of the people who insisted on completing [Operation Code Tinder]. Due to the inclination of resources, the facilities here are the most complete in the entire sky city."

"This is where the researchers live?!"

Lu Xi widened his eyes in astonishment:

"Are they there now?"

"Yes."

Themis nodded calmly:

"After the successful completion of [Operation Code Tinder], in order to continue to verify and improve the theory, they stayed here and continued to conduct experiments, practicing their own research results in practice."

"Wait a minute, that is to say, all the people here have lived... 1 years?!"

Shocked, he clenched the Holy Gun tightly, and Cocoa's eyes were full of inconceivable words:

"No wonder I saw some [immortality] technology before, it turned out that it was all true..."

[No, it's actually more than that. 】

Frowning subconsciously, Lu Xi instantly thought of what Themis' introduction just now represented.

It has been alive for 1 years. In other words, all the people in this building are from the end of the [Glorious Age], and may even have witnessed the disaster with their own eyes!

I feel that Lika's last prophecy Lu Xike dare not forget for a moment, and even the communication with Big Sister Tiamat has decreased a lot recently.

He is eager to know now, what happened ten thousand years ago?Will Tiamat, who has been firmly nailed in the sealed space by the brave, turn into a disaster and cause any harm to this world?

All of Nova's information has been cleared and no one can know. In other words, this opportunity is probably the best time to find out the truth of the matter!

Thinking of this, Lu Xi immediately said to Themis:

"Can we go in and have a look?"

"Of course, I will open the door for you now."

Still maintaining that extremely gentle smile, Themis gently raised her hand, but she did not see any special movements, and a small hole suddenly cracked in the egg-shaped building that was originally tightly stitched.And Cocoa and Lucy, who had been curious about the inside for a long time, naturally looked intently——

The next moment, a purgatory-like scene appeared before their eyes.

PS: Offer a reward, do it fast (→)

Chapter 471 Victims

Purgatory.

Absolute purgatory.

Behind the tall glass curtain wall that almost occupied the entire space, six slender figures were imprisoned in mid-air by unknown forces, their limbs opened in a large font uncontrollably.

In front of them, there are about a hundred launchers ready to go.With the normal operation of the operation, more than a hundred hot rays similar to piercing rays burst out from the transmitter, moving irregularly towards the six slender figures in a cutting posture.

The moment the scorching light came into contact with the figure's body, an incomparably painful howl resounded from the figure's blurred face.They twisted so violently, but they couldn't break free from the invisible shackles.

Like cutting butter with a hot knife, the light easily shredded the bodies of the figures.The next moment, something weird happened.

The blood and organs that should have been scattered as the body was torn apart did not appear.Even though it had been cut open, those body fragments were still held in place by invisible forces, and then were put back together again.

Yes, without any external force, just like two drops of oil floating on the water fused together without hindrance, the fragments of the body that were originally torn apart automatically snapped together, pruned and devoured the irregular granulation, and grew New organizations filled every gap.

This process was as painful as it looked, and the six slender figures roared hoarsely, making chilling wailing sounds.

"...is this what you want us to see?"

Moving to block Cocoa's sight, Lu Xi turned around with a gloomy face, and looked at Themis who still kept a gentle smile:

"Answer me, Themis. What is your reason for doing this?"

"Strange, shouldn't the Commander of Osiris and this lady be happy about this?"

There was a bit of perplexity on the perfect pretty face, which was quite humane. Themis seemed really surprised by the behavior of Lu Xi and Cocoa at this time:

"Themis wants to present beautiful things to the two of you as soon as possible. If there is any mistake in judgment, please forgive me."

"Beautiful?! You call this a beautiful thing?!"

Barely recovering from the shock just now, Cocoa's face flushed, and the Holy Spear in her hand emitted a fiery brilliance with the intense ups and downs of emotions:

"In the name of the knight, I ask you to immediately stop this inhumane act and release those innocent victims!"

"[Victim]? [Release]? Sorry, the Center cannot understand and accept your accusation. If you need to make suggestions on the operation of the facility, please contact the leader of Themis yourself."

Seemingly scratching her cheek in distress, Themis quickly returned to her usual smile, and naturally stretched out her hand to point in one direction:

"Since you are not satisfied here, please continue to come with me."

"What?! Didn't you understand what I said?"

Cocoa, whose sense of justice exploded, was about to raise the Holy Spear, but was stopped by Lu Xi's eyes.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Lu Xi nodded:

"...I see, let's move on."

"The right choice."

Squinting her eyes quite happily, Themis made a 'please' gesture.
