Chapter 1364 - 527: Execute Order_2
At this moment, Lin Xian felt like he was about to devour Chu Yan, his breath becoming increasingly rapid.And Chu Yan felt the same. She bit her lower lip tightly, her arm trembling as she said,
"Don’t just focus on doing, you need to get answers, and after this... I can give them to you anytime you want..."
Lin Xian nodded, suppressing his agitated emotion, controlling his rationality as he asked.
"Do you remember the first time we had a consciousness link?"
Chu Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, saying nonchalantly, "Gravitational Lens."
"Right."
"A special ability within my Mechanical superpower, but there is a second replica in this world, and I’ve never been able to understand it."
Chu Yan’s eyebrows trembled slightly, inhaling sharply, she said seriously: "It is an internal launch weapon installed inside me at the North American United Front’s Science Center, each time capable of carrying two units."
Lin Xian felt his blood pressure surge, quickly shifting his gaze from those bouncing twin peaks and looking elsewhere, slowing down: "Don’t you ever get curious, why can this Science Center manufacture gravitational level weapons?"
Chu Yan suppressed her breath, remained silent for a moment, then said,
"Before you appeared, I never questioned this. The Science Center of the United Front, together with the Nightwalker Organization, the Angel Department of the former Federation, and the Foundation had been conducting dark energy research; many special weapons were developed, only the Gravitational Lens is a very extreme dark energy device, besides my spiritual power ability, no one else can control it."
"The Foundation?"
"Yes, strictly speaking, before Dawn City, the Foundation provided us with a lot of help, it has always been a cooperative relationship, and my body’s transformation includes a technique from the Foundation’s Intelligent Mechanical Center!"
"Then... what about our spiritual link?"
"Spiritual Ability, I can’t think of another explanation."
"What about the Starfire Plan?"
"I know as much as you do, I believe Commander Ye’s intention is the same, she also wants to explore the possibility of high-dimensional forces behind your Mechanical superpower." Chu Yan’s breath became increasingly rapid, her hands firmly propping herself behind, letting Lin Xian continue to collide fiercely.
"Did she know that the Foundation was researching this before Apocalypse Day?"
"I don’t know, but I do know... Hua Xiaoling and the others, besides fearing you, they fear her too..."
"What are they afraid of?!"
"I don’t know!"
"What do you think is the reason for our consciousness link?"
"I don’t know, if you assume someone wants to use me to monitor you, logically it is possible, but also... uh..." Chu Yan bit down on her silver teeth, turned her head aside, the double sensory stimulation making her whole body start to tremble: "Similarly... I don’t think this is a conspiracy by the Phoenix Society against you."
"Why?!"
"Because all judgments and actions are centered around you, even if they want to use you, essentially it’s the same logic as needing you to save the world, there is no conspiracy!"
"But have you ever thought, if the Foundation and the Phoenix Society both knew before Apocalypse Day that the world would be destroyed, what does this mean?!" Lin Xian panted heavily, his throat letting out a low growl.
Chu Yan bit her teeth, closed her eyes and said, "It means there is an existence beyond the dimensions of time transmitting information to us, in an attempt to prevent the destruction!"
"What existence!!" Lin Xian began to sprint.
"I don’t know!" Chu Yan’s delicate body trembled, forcibly restraining her unworthy sensory reaction, not letting her body’s sounds of silence emit.
"Will you betray humanity!" Lin Xian shouted
"No!" Chu Yan answered without hesitation.
"Do you love me?"
Chu Yan’s expression froze, she opened her eyes and looked into Lin Xian’s gaze, determined yet stubborn.
The room quieted down for a moment, the sound of body collisions seemingly creating a rhythm that resonated with the clanging of the train’s iron wheels.
Chu Yan’s expression tightened, she bit her lip, reached out to hug Lin Xian, and said softly
The voice was small, fading into the air with the sound of iron wheels.
...
Clang, clang.
In front of the train window, Lin Xian adjusted his outfit, looking at the impenetrable thick fog outside, the gray snow almost burying the ground into a flat surface, making him recall his time in Snowfield.
Chu Yan walked over and stood beside him, still with that indifferent expression of the special operations team captain.
"Do you think the Foundation knew the secret of the Mechanical Heart early on?"
Lin Xian’s face was calm, he raised his hand and took a container of Heavy Suspension Liquid from the Black Star Forge: "This thing I got from Hua Xiaoling, when we first met, it could trigger my Mechanical Heart, I thought it was strange at the time, but I could never take out the things inside, my subconscious tells me that what lies within might uncover the secrets of the Foundation."
"What secret?" Chu Yan asked.
Lin Xian turned to look at her: "The Descent Faction, what exactly are they waiting for to descend?"
Chu Yan furrowed her brows slightly, Lin Xian’s words giving her heart a strong jolt.
Clearly, Lin Xian wasn’t referring to the High Tower Civilization.
"Research superpowers, research darkness, study the mycelium network, study scarlet, the Foundation has researched so much, yet are still killed by darkness, so if we boldly assume they aren’t collaborating with the High Tower Civilization, doesn’t this make more sense?"
Lin Xian remembered the first time he met Hua Xiaoling at Hengshan Pass
"Captain Lin, don’t worry, as I just told you, we’re a neutral organization, the Descent Faction you mentioned should refer to those who fanatically worship Dark Power and regard Apocalypse World Destruction Power as the Creator God."
"In our scientists’ view, these people are brainwashed lunatics."
"So what do you want to cooperate with me for?"
"Mechanical Creation"
"If the evolutionary opportunity for civilization, for our scientists, the most promising naturally lies in artificial intelligence and high-tech fields, this is also the remaining will of our civilization, while Genetic Evolution and superpowers are still quite unfamiliar directions for us, don’t you think?"
"Freud’s ’Death Drive’ core view, which says that in human subconscious there is a tendency towards destruction (including self-destruction), when fear surpasses the limit of endurance, it might change into a pathological obsession with destructive power. Simply put, the essence of creating this concept lies in..."
"Human Defeated Thinking"
"You assume the Descent Faction might be cowardly extremists, or religious zealots, in fact, the majority who hold this concept have certain levels and resources, existing in medium to high parts of human organization power structure because, ordinary folks might still harbor hopes and fantasies for survival, but for these people, they are the most clearly knowing, what is happening to the world, and what disasters our civilization, our interstellar army, our resistance organizations are combating against, before the Federation disintegrated, before the Underground City Dawn Plan, the Federation conducted starship transfer plans, yet none survived, there is something far more terrifying than Dark Tide above the sky."
"These people know more about Star Abyss and this apocalyptic dark catastrophe, they know how much time we have left, they clearly understand under this apocalyptic disaster, humanity... is doomed."
"All the way east, across Yunjiang Plain, Dawn City, from Yongcheng Port into ocean orbit, or follow Tian Ji towards Dawn Center, escaping the expansion of Star Abyss, all the surviving refugees are the same, Star Abyss Polar Night devours the planet according to the Phoenix Society’s observation in about one year."
"So when you cross Storm Strait from Ushuaia to reach the Polar, or wait for one more year, then what will happen?"
Hua Xiaoling’s words echoed quietly in Lin Xian’s ear, his expression grew increasingly grave.
At first, he didn’t understand what Hua Xiaoling meant, now recalling them, the more he thought, the more alarmed he became.
"Humanity defeated..."
"Above the sky, there are beings far more terrifying than Dark Tide."
"When you cross Storm Strait from Ushuaia to reach the Polar, then what will happen?"
Lin Xian murmured, cold sweat kept seeping from his forehead.
Chu Yan looked at him, surprised: "Are you implying the existence the Foundation worships, might be the same as the high-dimensional existence behind your Mechanical superpower!?"
Lin Xian’s gaze flickered, he slowly took a deep breath.
"Remember on South Heavenly Gate, the information transmitted through dark matter and translated?"
"[Do not resist]?"
Lin Xian looked at Chu Yan, his expression solemn, word by word he said
"If we consider the Foundation’s various actions towards Dawn Center, does this seem like the beings above the sky that are more terrifying than Dark Tide issuing..."
"Execution orders!"
