The Exorcist Boy: The Book of Conviction

Chapter 123 Origin ([-] in [-])

Snow naturally also saw the changes inside the glass cover, he knelt down and observed carefully.

Surprisingly, it was found that what made up that black boa constrictor turned out to be a black flame like viscous liquid.

After it took shape, the big black snake began to wriggle slowly inside the transparent glass cover.

But from the 108 surrounding white pillars, the flowing runes gathered together, shooting thin laser beams towards the cover.

Through the transparent glass cover, the light hit the black snake, as if it was fixed there.

Afterwards, it turned into a pool of burning black flames again, and the rune circuit on the tube connected to the glass cover also began to glow, as if it was continuously drawing out something.

After a few minutes like this, some emergency lights that were still flashing red inside the Utopia Ark stopped, and many areas that had become dark began to return to normal.

"The energy supply of the core fuel tank is normal...the current charging progress is 0.37%, and it is estimated that the power recovery will be completed after 10 counts."

In the main control room, a group of undead puppets are still working in their own positions.

From time to time, they would make a dry report sound like metal rubbing.

Even though Utopia Ark's situation was improving, they didn't show the slightest bit of joy.

"This is the power core of Utopia?"

Snow looked at the black flame in front of him, like a huge heart, constantly sending energy out through the pipeline.

I didn't expect it to be so simple and successful.

But why didn't he know that there was this thing in his body, could it be that he also jumped out of the book of conviction?

Snow shook his left hand, the black and gold texture on it had disappeared, and the skin on his arm had returned to normal.

However, the white flame given to him by the Book of Conviction can still be used, but... Snow feels that some of its characteristics seem to have been weakened.

But the power seems to have been strengthened.

At the same time, he also felt that his body began to become extremely light, as if he had shaken off some burden.

"Before, this thing was sealed in my body... on my left arm."

Snow stared at the black flame inside the hood, and said to himself naturally.

Snow was no stranger to the black and gold texture that the other party showed from time to time. In the past, this kind of thing would appear on his arm whenever he activated White Flame.

It seems that the white flame of the Book of Conviction should be its shackles!

Snow tried the [INNOCENCE] that had been split in two, and the response they gave was not stable.

I don't know what is the reason for this appearance, by the way, and my current young body...

Xiao Zhengtai sat on the ground and sighed deeply, then returned to the captain's cabin shaking his head.

There are still many things to do in the future. Utopia Ark has most likely recovered its energy supply. Captain Snow now needs to get familiar with his ship, and then find a chance to return to his own world.

"Now that the energy supply has been restored..."

Snow looked at the undead doll still standing at the door, thought for a while, and then yelled into the air.

"Ark system, is it there?"

"........."

"Uh... optical brain?"

"Master control system? Smart program?"

There was no response, Snow thought for a while, and then spit out a new name.

"Luer, are you there?"

"Captain, what are your orders?"

Snow grinned, what a tsundere AI!

As the core intellectual brain of Utopia Ark, Snow did not believe that Luer would not be able to distinguish his calling intention.

"Report the current status of Utopia Ark."

"The core fuel tank is continuously charging, and the infrastructure is almost restored!"

"Where's the cafeteria? I'm hungry."

Counting it, Snow hadn't eaten for nearly two whole days, although under the influence of the environment in the Exiled Land, the hunger was not obvious.

But he still believes that if the above factors are ignored, then this will definitely affect the body.

A new sign appeared, and under Luer's guidance, Snow successfully came to the cafeteria of Utopia...it turned out to be the interior of an independent space.

The layout inside is like the most luxurious five-star hotel, but unfortunately there are no waiters or chefs, and the dinner plates are all empty.

It seemed that no one had used it for a long time. It took Snow a few minutes to find the food maker mentioned by the "Earl" in the back kitchen.

The other party said that this kind of machine needs raw materials, but it doesn't look like edible ingredients can be found at the moment!
"Luer, where are the food ingredients for the food maker!"

In Snow's vision, this thing should throw some edible ingredients into it, and then the food maker will spit out delicious delicacies.

"Sorry! Captain, Utopia Ark's food supplies have been out of stock for more than a thousand years. Right now, there are no qualified edible materials."

"Then what shall I eat?"

Snow turned pale with shock, the "Earl" never mentioned this point, without raw materials, wouldn't it be hard for a clever woman to cook without rice

I will never really want to starve to death here!Soon, Luer gave him an extremely powerful answer.

"You can choose other materials that are less qualified, like... stone."

"Don't be ridiculous, can that thing be eaten?"

Snow looked at the white machine not far away with squinted eyes.

What Luer means is, even if it is a stone, can it make dishes for you?

"This is just an example. The food maker that restores energy supply is essentially a special instrument that uses energy transport to decompose and resynthesize substances.

Strictly speaking, according to the extraction and synthesis of fixed elements, it is possible to produce edible substances that are basically accepted by the human body. "

After being silent for a while, Snow could only choose to throw some other things into it to try.

These are some things he found in the restaurant that don't look so outrageous, such as decorations that seem to be wooden products, and items such as napkins.

Forget about metalwork and stone.

After throwing it into the machine, a loop pipe connected to it began to light up and deliver energy.

Accompanied by a slight roaring sound, after ten minutes, a small bowl of black unknown substance like paste flowed out from the end port of the machine.

"Is this stuff really edible? Luer?"

"Correct, the core energy transformation from Utopia Ark, although it cannot make limited substances into delicious food.

However, the items synthesized by using energy can guarantee the most basic needs of the human body and meet the standards required to barely maintain life. "

Snow could only tentatively dip his fingers a little, and then sighed.

"Ugh~~~"

A smell of burnt fur flooded his mind, it was really unpalatable, and there was only such a small bowl.

"Is there nothing else?"

"Negatively, it takes more than a million counts to restore the basic operation of the material supply area. It takes time for the growth of crops and edible cloned life forms."

Edible cloned life forms refer to some animal husbandry gene samples carefully preserved by Utopia Ark.

When Utopia escaped, people carefully collected a large number of genetic samples of diverse organisms to be used as seeds for cloning.

When the core energy is sufficient, use energy transformation to reproduce it and cultivate livestock, which will be used as the basic supply of meat in the ark.

But then the core energy was lost, and Utopia Ark lost the most basic energy to maintain its own internal circulation.

Without the energy transmission from the core warehouse to the entire Ark, the internal ecology will be completely broken. After all, Utopia Ark is still a small closed space in essence.

It lacks the real natural resources that sustain life.

Without the core energy transmission as a reliance, the soil will lose nutrients, and crops and plants will lose the possibility of survival, let alone ordinary livestock.

Even the natural circulation of oxygen will stop. If human beings continue to live in such an environment, even if they are not starved to death, they will definitely suffocate to death in the end.

As the highest crystallization of the super ancient era, Utopia Ark still has its own limitations, and nothing can get rid of this.

Even the god who created this world cannot be perfect.

After the core energy returned to the fuel tank, everything in the Utopia Ark was slowly recovering in an orderly manner and back on track.

But it takes time.

So, if Snow wanted to eat a delicious meal of real food...he had to wait another month or so.

"Then during this empty window, have I been living on rocks?"

Snow swallowed the glue-smelling paste with a painful expression on his face.

"correct……"

After hearing Luer's merciless answer, Snow already expected that he would always wear a mask of pain during his stay in the Ark.

After spending an hour eating his "nutritious meal", Snow returned to the control room.

The undead puppets are still working in an orderly manner. Even if they lose their captain, they will still handle the work on the ark conscientiously... as if they were born for this.

Of course, restoring Utopia Ark to its previous state is their top priority right now.

But the new captain, Snow, knows nothing about it, and he doesn't even know what orders to give.

"Luer, as the captain, what should I do?"

Looking at the group of mechanical dolls below, Snow felt a little embarrassed.

At the same time, he also felt very bored. The current situation made him feel as if he was the only living person on this boat.

"Issuing the highest order, as the captain, you are obliged to dominate the future direction of Utopia Ark."

Snow understood what the other party meant, and he didn't need to worry about the minutiae. What he had to decide was what should Ark Utopia do now?
Giving a new mission to Utopia Ark, which has been silent for an unknown number of years, is his immediate task.

"Well...then give priority to restoring Utopia to its best condition, and then return to our world."

"Command accepted!"

Under the invisible ground of the entire white tower, an artificial intelligence main body with a height of tens of meters and dense blue circuits inserted into its body began to run at high speed.

It is the core artificial intelligence of Utopia Ark named "Luer".

Just as Snow thought, such a spaceship as big as an asteroid must of course rely on advanced intelligence for coordination.

Even the most advanced artificial intelligence in another plane may not be able to compare with a strand of "Luer"'s hair in computing and intelligence, although she does not have this thing.

Soon thousands of instructions were transmitted in batches into the brains of the busy undead crew members through a certain special room.

In many hidden warehouses, row after row of mechanical dolls were activated, and then mechanically walked out.

The depths of the eyes of many dolls reveal a daze. After a thousand years, the undead crew will be fully activated again.

They are the souls that can never be rested, and the undead who wander in the exiled land.

Like organized worker ants, the undead crew resumed their busy schedule as they were thousands of years ago.

Seeing this shocking scene through the light curtain of the captain's room, Snow couldn't help opening the [Eye of Soul Search].

He wanted to see if this group of so-called undead crew members still had souls?

White, everything that meets the eyes is white, which means that their souls are still preserved in their permission. On the body of each undead doll, there is a mass of icy white shining in Snow's eyes.

"Phew...it's fine if it's not black!"

The black pentagram on his head didn't seem to have anything to do with the devil as Snow imagined.

"Lu'er, I want to know what is going on with the so-called Undead Crew Club?"

This time, the artificial intelligence did not answer him immediately, but remained silent for a few minutes.

"If you want to close the information, only the captain's authority can read it, please move to the confidential room."

Soon, Snow found what he wanted to know, and also understood why the undead crew could not die?
"It turned out to be a group of dead people, which is essentially the same as the Millennium Earl!"

Looking at the relevant records in the confidential room, Snow couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

The members of the Undead Crew Club mainly come from the human beings who died in the Utopia Ark accident thousands of years ago, and some human beings who could not get on the escape boat and voluntarily dedicated themselves to the Ark.

Likewise, a puppet is just a shell, and it is the souls of those who died as the inner eternal driving force.

That's right, this is the achievement of the previous generation of Utopia captain "Earl".

As a place of exile, the souls of the dead cannot return to the kingdom of heaven, because they have already left the realm of the gods. Once they die, their souls will linger here forever.

So the "Earl" used some special methods to stuff the souls of the dead into these dolls, and then used them as power to create such a group of undead crew members.

When the 12 members of Noah's family left Utopia Ark, they probably took away relevant information about this technology.

That's why the Earl of the Millennium used soul and tragedy as nourishment to create mechanical demons, or he has found a way to improve this technology.

Because compared to the current undead crew, the demons of the Earl of the Millennium are obviously better. They will evolve, they will give birth to their own thinking, and they will become stronger and stronger.

The current state of the undead crew members looks more like a humanoid Level 1.

So is there still an essential difference between them?
The answer is yes.

The actions of the undead crew members have already shown their harmlessness. I'm afraid they are just mechanical containers used to hold souls.

And demons... create tragedies, and killing is their essence.

It looks like... like the difference between industrial civilian use and war military use.

Such a strange comparison suddenly popped up in Snow's mind.

Perhaps in the beginning, this soul application technology was not intended to create tragedy, but the Millennium Earl who obtained this technology distorted it.

"In other words, the method of making demons may have originally come from this utopian ark?
And the "Earl" personally sewed a shell called "Earl of the Millennium". "

All the hostile parties in the jihad seem to have something to do with this utopian ark, but why did the apostles of Noah, who clearly took saving mankind as their mission, suddenly devote themselves to creating three days of darkness and destroying the world?

Something must have changed.

Snow recalled that when he met Rhodes, the hatred shown by the other party did not seem to be fake at all.

After breaking away from the Utopia Ark and returning to the present world, some great changes must have occurred, so that the group of people who broke away from the Utopia Ark reversed their views.

There are a total of more than 1000 undead crew members inside the Utopia Ark. There is no record in the files about the manufacturing methods of the undead crew members, but some related explanations are given.

For example, the undead crew is the result of concocting souls, and only the gods have the authority to manipulate souls.

As for how the two "earls" did this, Snow didn't know much about it either.

Thinking of this, Snow suddenly remembered the book of condemnation in his body, which once said something like "stealing the authority of the gods".

Coupled with its obvious inseparable connection with Utopia, does it mean that the "Count" is the holder of the Book of Conviction of the previous generation.

He used part of the power of the gods to develop this kind of immortality technology applied by the soul.

Snow nodded, he thought the probability was very high.

"The Earl" also hinted at him, don't be shaken by certain performances of the Book of Conviction.

At the same time, [Book of Conviction] has always demonstrated its ability to manipulate the soul, and the messy little skills on Snow now come from this.

"Captain, we can't locate the coordinates of the current world. The route map recorded in the watchtower has shifted."

Just as Snow was guessing the truth, Luer's voice appeared.

Since "Captain Snow" gave his latest order, Utopia Ark has been working hard for his goal.

However, the main control system has searched several times, but failed to collect the jump coordinates to return to the main world.

After all, Utopia has been silent for more than a thousand years, and the original coordinates and routes have already shifted in the wandering of the void.

So now they have to face a very serious problem.

That is getting lost.

Just like a ship swimming in the sea, you need a nautical chart to know your position, and you need to find the target location before you can dock.

Now Utopia is like a wrecked ship floating on the sea for hundreds of years, without a map, without direction, and without knowing where the destination is.

I don't even know where I am, let alone want to return to the world.

Snow's face darkened again, since he came to this Utopian Ark, he has never heard any good news.

"That……"

"The Ark needs spatial coordinates as a guide, even if it's just a little bit, Captain, do you have a way to connect to the world?"

How could I possibly have something like that?

Snow rolled his eyes, is it possible that he really wants to keep floating here to try his luck?

It is estimated that by the time he can go back, even the bones have been turned into ashes.

"Wait, there is a way to connect to reality...it seems."

Snow suddenly remembered that he also has a beautiful little maid, which is his unique [weapon]!

The [INNOCENCE] in the opponent's body has always maintained a certain connection with the [Book of Conviction], but I don't know if it can still be contacted under this situation.

Thinking of this, Snow hastily immersed his consciousness into the Book of Conviction, and began to tentatively touch that other [INNOCENCE] phantom that shone with purple light.

"I sensed it."

Phyllis suddenly woke up from her sleep, her ability was activated in an unexpected dream, and there was a faint connection from the sky somewhere, which made him suddenly cheer up.

Snow finally remembered to contact her.

Phyllis subconsciously looked at Sarah who was lying beside her. In the dark night, one of her eyes subconsciously lit up with a faint purple light.

And Sarah was also awakened by her movement, she sat up from the bed rubbing her eyes in doubt, and accidentally slipped off the thin gauze pajamas she was wearing.

On the other side, Snow subconsciously leaned back tactically, and a wisp of red liquid flowed down from his nose.

Why the hell is Sarah sleeping with Phyllis?
When did the relationship between these two women become so good, and what kind of clothes they were wearing, they didn't pay much attention to their image.

Snow can use the mark he put on Phyllis' right eye to share the perspective of the other party. He just tried to see if he could succeed, but he didn't expect that it was night in the real world...

And those two women are still sleeping together...

"Ah! Saw some great... ah no, hot eyed stuff, I was a kid."

While wiping his nosebleed, Snow comforted himself embarrassingly.

"Sure enough, he's still alive."

Sarah didn't even wear clothes, just sitting here, staring fixedly at Phyllis's eyes that shone with purple light.

These days, she has always firmly believed that her "heart" is still alive, so she ran out with Phyllis, even if it was the ends of the earth, she wanted to find him back.

Sure enough... I finally found you.
