Gun Kai
Chapter 471 Whale Island 1
A torrential sandstorm, like a massive funnel, swept and pulled all the surrounding air currents, converging into a giant tornado connecting the sky and the earth.
The howling wind sounded like the wail of vengeful ghosts.
At the very center of the tornado, in the eye of the storm, was a zone of silence completely different from the outside world.
Here, in an inverted cone shape, walls of red sand and dust spun at extreme speeds, the rumbling noise layered upon layer, forming a vibration similar to thunder.
Within this quiet zone, a blurry humanoid figure enveloped in blue light floated silently in mid-air.
The humanoid wore a special restraint suit covered in circular patterns, with various colored rings of different sizes visible all over his body.
If his body didn't flicker occasionally, this attire might not seem out of place among the non-mainstream crowd on the Earth-Moon region today.
Whoosh!
A figure appeared behind him, a woman's form shimmering with white light.
"Saruman lost his body; his brain is completely dead. Revival will take a long time. Our excellent situation has been ruined because of one of your arbitrary decisions. I need an explanation!"
The woman's voice was icy cold, her pair of dark eyes in the white light staring intently at the blue humanoid.
"Mu Yan," the blue humanoid turned around, looking at the woman, "The world is losing its balance. You should feel it too. Although it's just a hint, it must be nipped in the bud."
"I'm the one coordinating everything with Bai Di. It's easy for you to just open your mouth here," the woman, Mu Yan, said coldly. "Now that our excellent situation has been ruined and Bai Xing has suffered significant losses, even to the point of being seriously injured, what are you going to do next?"
They failed to capture the Garden of Destiny and instead lost one of their generals. Although Saruman's individual strength was very poor, he provided the organization with great convenience and cover on the network.
And now he was blown up?!
Incredible.
No matter how many times she replayed it, Mu Yan found it unbelievable. Saruman's power on the network was undoubtedly that of a god, but now...
"It doesn't matter," the blue humanoid said calmly. "Everything will soon be calmed, and order will be restored to its original state. The Garden of Destiny should not exist; it must be completely erased. And the bait they have been searching for, I have already released."
"Are you talking about Whale Island?" The woman was taken aback.
"Yes. The place where Li En and the Master of Blue Dream Mountain completed the ritual. The Master of Blue Dream Mountain succeeded, but Li En only calculated himself. But whether it was one or the other, they both left a trace of eternal existence on Whale Island. As long as that trace can be found, later comers can also succeed."
"But forbidden knowledge cannot be bypassed, so it can only succeed once, and...that is the only hope. If the successful person leaves, this place will be forever mired and lose all hope," the woman said coldly.
"The world, fate, are inherently so cruel. Everything, from the moment of birth, is constantly moving towards extinction. We are like this, and so is the world. It is already a great act of mercy to have a single hope," the blue humanoid sighed.
"Is this a calculated scheme? Are you planning to completely eliminate them on Whale Island?" the woman asked.
"Yes, even knowing that it might be a trap, it is the only place, and they will come," the blue humanoid sighed.
Suiyang Yunshan, underground base in the Sea of Trees.
A group of people from the Garden of Destiny were gathered together, watching a piece of top-secret information that Rainbow Candy had obtained from Bai Xing.
"This information comes from Bai Di's study secret room. It's information recorded on a special chip. The location is physically isolated from the network. I temporarily controlled an automated robot to assemble a simple transmitter nearby, scanned it, and used simulated electrical signals to affect the internal current to successfully obtain it. The difficulty of the process was far beyond your imagination." Rainbow Candy still felt lingering fear when she thought about it.
If she hadn't used a cheat and become a god for ten minutes, this matter would really have been impossible.
Not to mention anything else, just creating a powerful program that could forcibly invade a closed internal network through radio waves...the difficulty of this...is simply impossible for ordinary hackers.
The isolation walls alone are more than ten meters thick...
It was only because her energy was infinite at the time that she forcibly aggregated a piece of intrusion Trojan horse that shouldn't exist in the world that she finally got it.
"Thank you for your hard work. Everyone sees your sacrifice and dedication." Li Cheng Yi looked at Dragon Gate Crane, who had a helpless expression on his face, with a somewhat wry smile.
"It's okay, it's okay." Rainbow Candy had a nonchalant expression, "I have to say, that feeling was really great."
"Speaking of which, Dragon Gate Crane's ability, if it can be used in conjunction with our other abilities..." Big Bear was obviously moved.
If her flower language could be used infinitely without consuming energy, Li Cheng Yi also thought of this.
His language power, hand of indulgence, both consume flower language in a fairly abnormal proportion. If you don't care about the consumption for ten minutes, it means that he can forcibly control any enemy for ten minutes!
This is simply a divine skill!
For the power of language, there are too many things that can be done in ten minutes...
"Okay, let's not talk about this first, let's watch the recording. Hopefully...this time we can gain something." Xin Dela clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone came back to their senses and looked at the large screen on the wall of the small room.
The mouse clicked play.
Pa.
The white screen suddenly went black.
The progress bar below began to slowly advance, bit by bit.
"Before each entry, I record a will, and this time is no exception."
A calm, low male voice sounded behind the screen, like a voice-over in a movie.
The moment he heard this voice, Xin Dela's expression trembled slightly.
"It's him! It's my son!"
He unconsciously clenched his cane, his eyes fixed on the screen.
Li Cheng Yi glanced at him and gently patted his shoulder to show comfort.
On the screen, the voice continued.
"The Dead Angle has been entered more than twelve times so far. The difficulty is increasing, and the danger level is getting higher and higher. I am becoming more and more mentally and physically exhausted."
"Perhaps, this time, will be my end."
As the voice fell, in the center of the darkness on the screen, a spot of yellow fire slowly lit up.
It was a hand holding a lit match.
The match head was slowly burning, releasing a soft and tiny light.
"The Master of Blue Dream Mountain left clear clues through the Twisted Book, the Aria Text, and the Master of Blue Dream Mountain's Record of Alien Knowledge."
"I followed the clues to come here. Thirty-six partners have disappeared from the team along the way."
"And this, is the place of final ending."
The voice fell.
In the screen, the hand holding the match kept moving forward.
He seemed to be in a cave, in front of him was a narrow passage two meters wide. On both sides were steep, rough mountain walls, and sometimes something inexplicable would fly overhead.
"I understand Senior Blue Dream. Because of forbidden knowledge, it is impossible for him to directly tell people the truth. Knowledge has uniqueness, which also means that only one person can reach the end of a road.
The rest can only be achieved through other means, but..."
In the picture, the man raised his hand and looked at the white watch on his wrist. The large screen on the watch clearly showed the time, location, temperature, humidity, body temperature, heartbeat, and so on.
Pa.
Rainbow Candy suddenly paused the playback at this moment.
"From here onwards, I have just quickly tried it, and there is no way to see any images, and the sound cannot be heard. So, I used the information given by the watch to find the specific location."
She looked back at everyone.
"In other words, I have found the place where Li En finally went, the place called Whale Island."
"But what he encountered on Whale Island, we cannot know," Li Cheng Yi said.
"Yes. So I suggest that after Paine wakes up, we take him with us to explore," Rainbow Candy said.
"It's too late. My Dead Angle is coming soon. I don't know if I can get through this time," Xiao Zong said in a deep voice.
"Don't you think this information came too easily? It's like Li En is deliberately releasing information to lure people over?" Big Bear said softly.
"No need to think, someone is deliberately luring us over. Whether it's true or not, we cannot give up any possibility of getting rid of the Dead Angle," Li Cheng Yi said.
"Continue," he said to Rainbow Candy.
The playback was continued.
The screen began to distort from here, turning into messy, large groups of distorted colored light.
It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that it instantly returned to normal.
"The content I just talked about has uniqueness. If I die, then they should return to normal. If you see a mess, it means that I am lucky in the future, and I should still be alive. I should be happy," Li En's voice continued.
In the screen, the match in the man's hand quickly went out, and he pulled out another match and lit it again.
"No lighting methods can be used here. You can only use a box of matches given at the door for lighting. If you fail to walk out of this passage before the matches are used up, you will be trapped here forever and become a part of this place."
Suddenly, Li Cheng Yi frowned.
"Wait, since no technological items can be used in the cave, then how did this recording come about?"
"Obviously, perhaps non-technological items can be used," Big Bear nodded.
Li Cheng Yi instantly thought of some similar abilities. In nature, there are recording methods that do not rely on technological electrical means, although few, they do exist.
At this time, in the screen, Li En continued to move forward, matches were constantly lit and then extinguished.
Finally, by the time of the twentieth match, there were only two left unused in the box.
If he couldn't find the exit, he would almost certainly die.
And at this moment, Li En stopped.
"I'm here," he suddenly said, his voice revealing a strong sense of exhaustion and joy.
"This is it...the edge of the world...the illusory boundary sea connected to the Black Sea."
Illusory Sea!?
The people watching were all stunned.
Obviously, this was the first time everyone had heard this name.
"The Black Sea, the White Sea, and the Illusory Sea, these are the three cornerstones of all things. The Black Sea breeds everything, the White Sea is the hope of everything, and the Illusory Sea lies in between, appearing and disappearing, existing in an unimaginable and incomprehensible way."
"I can't continue to say more, the restrictions of forbidden knowledge are extremely large here. The more valuable the knowledge, the stronger its effect will be. Many knowledge even has special power in the language and text used to record them. And here..."
In the screen.
Li En kept walking forward, walking to the end of a protruding cliff.
Standing in front of the cliff at the end, he lowered his head and used the light of the match to illuminate the rocky ground under his feet.
The ground...was actually disintegrating!
From a solid, it quickly dispersed, turning into countless black dots, flying forward and merging into that endless darkness.
