Chapter 1456： Amber's anomaly

What exactly does the star map custodian mean? This is the question that everyone in the Shadow Hall has at this moment. In such an ancient space station that has been sealed for countless years, in the depths of another mystery left by the sailors, an ancient plan is suddenly revealed. Opened a corner, and the mysterious "star map custodian" obviously played an extremely special and important role in it. This not only made everyone curious, but also made them...vaguely uneasy.

"I hope that will not be another'sentinel'," Berlanta murmured softly, speaking out the worries that everyone else had at the moment, "I have already a little psychological shadow on the'old mind' left by the sailor... …"

"From the point of view of the scene, this'star map custodian' should not have been contaminated by the reverse tide like the sentinel. Most of the thorns before were the self-protection mechanism of the anchor generator. That thing isolated the pollution of the year," Gao Wen 'S voice came from the top of the hall, "But... no one knows what the'custodian' is now."

"No matter who he is, he is obviously not here now," Kassandra's gaze fell on a terminal next to him, "It says that the star custodian is offline."

"Yes, offline, not death," Gao Wen said thoughtfully. "Judging from the details in the system log, this anchor generator should have a mechanism to detect whether the star custodian is alive. If The custodian died unexpectedly, the anchor generator seemed to be able to'reset' the custodian by restarting, and now the device is in offline on-hook mode-this shows that the star chart custodian is still alive, but in a state where it cannot be connected. "

"Stuck somewhere? In deep sleep? Or is the system itself malfunctioning?" Asha Lena frowned. "Is this'offline state' related to the back tide pollution that this hall suffered many years ago?"

Berlanta's gaze fell on the log record projected above the terminal, and then he retracted his gaze and glanced at Ashalena next to him: "You said...Is this star map custodian hiding in the sky station now? Somewhere? Or is it hidden in our world?"

"Who knows?" Ashalena opened her hand, "After all, we can't even know what kind of existence the'Star Atlas Keeper' is, or even if it is a machine or an ancient creature, or It's just a piece of data stored in a certain device at Cangqiang Station... After reading the content described in these fragmentary logs, it is even more confusing."

The hall fell into a moment of silence, and everyone was quietly thinking about the possible explanation behind the information revealed by the terminal. This silence lasted for a long time, until Gawain’s voice suddenly broke the silence: "Now we can sum up. There is only this information: this "star map custodian" still exists, in a corner we don't know, he may have been watching the development of our world, waiting for us to develop according to the ancient instructions of the sailor. At a certain stage, there is an independent large-scale system in Cangqiong Station to serve this goal...

"Nowadays, the state of the custodian of the star map is obviously not good, and it may even have lost the ability to move, at least the ability to respond to the sky station, and ta's ancient mission...obviously cannot be successfully completed."

Nicholas has been silent since just now, and didn't know what he was thinking about. Then he suddenly said: "From the last message in the system log, the mission left by the sailor to the'Star Atlas Keeper' is at least Out of goodwill."

"This is probably the only part of the whole thing that can give people a little peace of mind-but facing 1.87 million years of vicissitudes and the back tide pollution that does not know when it will spread to this, I am afraid we can't trust the founders too much. The "goodwill" left behind," Gawain's voice still sounded serious, "The sentinel is an impressive example. Although the star map custodian does not seem to follow the old path of the sentinel, we better not be blindly optimistic. ."

"We understand," Nicholas floated up and down, "Then about this shadow hall and this ‘anchor generator’...what should we do? Just leave it alone?"

"You can't just leave it alone," Gawain's voice immediately sounded, "It seems that this hall itself has not undergone dangerous distortions. You leave a portion of your staff to continue to study the things here and see if there are more in other terminals. At the same time, it also closely monitors the status of the “anchor generator”—but be aware that no destructive “test” can be performed on any equipment here to prevent automatic counterattacks from the security system.

"In addition, there are many data streams in this hall that are still out of my control. Later I will find out the equipment corresponding to this part of the data stream. You will focus on the part of'care', which will help me to help you open more Access rights.

"The rest of the people continue to go deeper. I have found the route to the next ring belt. All the gates on the route have been unlocked. At present, it is preliminary judged that there should be a section of ecological/observation complex. The safe areas that can be identified at the moment will be marked for you. Follow the previous experience and steps little by little and pay attention to safety."

Nicholas's body sank slightly, and his tone was particularly serious: "Yes, we understand."

Gao Wen gave a hum, and then ended the "connection" state of high concentration. A sudden sense of weightlessness dragged all of his senses to sink. In this familiar revolution, he felt himself again. The body on the surface of the planet, and the various touches from this body-he opened his eyes slightly, and the scenery of the study room without any change appeared in front of him.

...It seems that it hasn't changed much.

As soon as Gao Wen lowered his head, he saw a mess on his desk. The documents he had just sorted out and processed before were messed up. The ink bottle on his hand was also knocked over, and half of the ink inside had to be spilled on his own. On the sleeves, there was a large pile of melon seed skins scattered all around, from my body to the ground next to him, and the books on the nearby bookshelves also fell all over the floor. The geese have had a dark duel here.

"...Fuck!"

Gao Wen finally woke up from the trance and dizziness caused by that kind of mental shift. He suddenly got up with a slamming noise. In the next second, he saw the suspect who caused the tragic scene lying on the opposite side of the table. The salted fish lay on the carpet like a stripped fish, and the scattered skin of the melon seeds and the residual ink on the hands all identify the culprit.

"You are..." Gawain quickly walked out from behind the table and walked to Amber. His first reaction was that someone tried to assassinate just now. Then his brave guard Miss Amber fought with the assassin for three hundred rounds to defend the lord. There was a mess between the swords and shadows of the two sides-but firstly, he felt that this was not something that the shame of all things could do, and secondly, it couldn't explain the problem of the skin of melon seeds, so he quickly got rid of it. I got all the brains in my mind, I only checked Amber’s state with nervousness. After all, the other party’s posture on the ground really meant a bit of sudden death, but I didn’t expect to hear a slight snoring sound as soon as I leaned over. In the ear...

This guy slept extremely comfortably.

Gao Wen swears that when he learned about the "Star Atlas Custodian" from the system log of Cangqiang Station, he was not so daunted now. All the experience and wisdom accumulated in his life can't explain the weirdness in front of him. situation.

In the next second, he stretched out his hand to pull Amber Pao and turned it over, looking at the goods on his body intact, but his hands were covered with ink, he breathed a sigh of relief, and reached out and patted the opponent's cheek: "Wake up." Wake up, wake up wake up wake up, don't sleep."

"Woo..." Amber purred in his sleep, curled up and wriggled on the carpet like a certain cat, and then suddenly awakened suddenly, his whole body almost bounced off the ground. , "Mom!"

Gawain almost let this guy put his head on his chin. Thanks to his quick response, he could avoid it. Then he got up and put his hand on Amber's head: "Are you awake? Explain what happened-- Did you fight with an assassin holding melon seeds for three hundred rounds here, or did you have a dark duel with my inkwell after drinking?"

"Melon seeds? Dark duel?" Amber's circle of confusion seemed to be no less than that of Gawain. She blinked and froze for a long time before she seemed to finally wake up completely. Then she saw a mess by the desk and the ink on Gawain's body. With Guazipi, the whole person shrank his neck, and even his height seemed to shrink into a section. "Then if I said that there was a brutal assassin who tried to assassinate Guzipi just now, do you believe it?"

Gao Wenyile: "I said I will increase your salary by three times next month, do you believe it?"

Amber suddenly raised his neck: "I can believe it, when will you rise?"

"Don't interrupt!" Gawain suddenly slapped her back, "What the **** is this-you did it? Why are you lying on the ground?"

"...If I say that all of this originated from a cramp, do you believe it?" Amber curled his neck, only raised his eyelids and glanced at Gawain. "I just wanted to help you get the skin off the melon seeds... "

Gawain looked down at his body, and shook the skin of the melon seeds between his collar and hair, with a dull expression: "Then I have received your kindness-I don't care why I have melon skin on my body. Choose a wall for yourself."

"What I said is true!" Amber suddenly jumped up, "I don't know how to do it-I was guarding by your side at the beginning, and then I didn't know why I suddenly cramped, and then The hands and feet are just like not being dictated. I still want to ask people to come in and help, but when you started'meditation' before, I activated the protection of the study, and I couldn't turn it off even if I wanted to turn it off. Later, I didn't know how I was. Those who were lying on the ground, remember that they suddenly felt very relaxed..."

Amber crackled and talked about the weird and horrifying experience he had just now, mixed with "auxiliary instructions" and live demonstrations of hand-dancing gestures.

What she said was really weird, and she habitually added a lot of exaggerated expressions, but Gao Wen showed a serious expression not long after she spoke. He listened carefully to Amber’s Tell, until the other person finishes speaking: "So that's not a cramp. Strictly speaking, you feel that you have a body that is out of your control, and that part of the body is interacting with your own will. conflict?"

Amber blinked and looked at Gawain in surprise: "...you believe it? I thought you..."

"You usually give the impression that there is no door in your mouth-but I know under what circumstances you have a door," Gawain glanced at the shadow assault goose. "What happened before these anomalies? A sign?"

"A sign? There is no sign at all," Amber stretched out his hand helplessly. "Does it count if I eat two stinky melon seeds when I eat melon seeds? If it doesn't, everything can only be said to be a sudden situation."

Gao Wen frowned, not knowing what he was thinking, and then asked: "When was that probably?"

"Probably?" Amber recalled, "Just less than an hour after you entered'Meditation'?"

Gawain kept his brows furrowed, and stared at Amber’s face silently, but there were countless thoughts in his mind surging up and down, but Amber was horrified by the look of the opponent's eyes, and his ears rose on the spot: "You...you Why are you looking at me like this... What I said is true, and you just said that you believe me..."

"I know what you are saying is true," Gawain said slowly and seriously, "I just... have some totally unfounded associations."

There is absolutely something "vision" that happened to Amber. Gawain won't simply attribute this to "cramps", but the time when the vision appeared in her body... If you think about it, it should be in Cassandra. And the Krakens began to cut the purple-black "crystal thorns" before and after.

Logically, these seem to be two unrelated things. What is the connection between the Hall of Shadows in the synchronous orbit and the amber that has lived on the surface since childhood? Gao Wen didn't think of any clues or evidence that could connect the two together.

However, emotionally... he couldn't help but think of what happened in Cangqiang Station.

Because this is the only thing he can think of now that can be somewhat related to the vision in Amber - at least, they seem to happen at the same time.

Moreover, the hall was filled with abnormal shadow power.

"Unexplained association?" Amber looked at Gawain suspiciously, her ears trembling slightly in the air, "You...Is there something wrong with Cangqiong Station?"

"'Star Atlas Keeper'," Gawain said suddenly, looking at Amber's eyes, "Do you have any impression of this word?"

Amber was taken aback: "Star map custodian? I haven't heard of it. Are there any new positions planned for the Office of Government Affairs? What is it for?"

Her expression didn't seem to be fake, of course, Gawain didn't think she would really know the name from the beginning.

"We found a hall shrouded in shadow power in the Sky Station. There is a weird sailor device in the hall. The nameplate of the device shows that it is called an'anchor generator'," Gao Wen did not hide, "the anchor point at the time. The generator was covered by a large number of purple-black thorn-like crystal growths, and Cassandra led the Krakens to remove those thorns-in terms of time, that should happen to be when your body is out of control.

"And after clearing those thorns, Nicholas and the others read the log data remaining in the device. From the data, we learned of the existence of a ‘Star Atlas Keeper’..."
