Chapter 693 The End of the Pi Mechanical Council

The polar permafrost continued to sink, and when it broke through a critical depth, the permafrost and ice layer on the ground suddenly fell apart and fell into the darkness below.

The three of them stopped moving, and through Tilan's invisibility, they slowly descended into the darkness underground.

There is no light here, but the three of them have a certain night vision detection ability and can vaguely see the surrounding situation.

Deep underground, a starship that was broken into two pieces lay quietly. Above and around it, there were other metal frames supporting it, which looked like they were built later in order to excavate the spaceship.

These frames are still there today, but as time goes by, thick ice and snow have accumulated on them, finally burying them underground.

Some mechanical bodies were fixed on the frame. They looked various, and some models were even unfamiliar to Loloria.

"It seems to be a very old model, probably an early work, earlier than when I was born." Loloria had a strange expression.

"The facilities here are also very strange. It seems that many of them were built by the four Tianyi tribes. They are not in the style of the Mechanical Parliament." She continued to evaluate the ruins.

"But I haven't seen anything like this in the records of my tribe." Celitia shook her head. She felt that these things were both familiar and strange.

"Let's take a look first." Tilan and the other two swam carefully in the darkness, trying to minimize the traces of their activities.

There are many stopped working machines here, corpses that have been dead for who knows how many years, and a small number of still functioning machines, some of which are even left by the Thunder Wings.

The three of them searched for a while but still found nothing special. Finally, they could only slowly approach the broken part of the spacecraft and try to enter the ground to explore.

"careful!"

Shortly after the three entered the passage of the spacecraft, a bullet shot out in the darkness and hit Loloria's raised arm.

"Bang——" Sparks splashed on her arm, and Loloria fought back with her other hand. A dazzling beam of light shot out from her palm like a crossbow arrow, hitting the enemy in the dark and causing an explosion.

After destroying the enemy, the three carefully observed the surroundings for a while and found that destroying the enemy did not cause a large-scale commotion, so they felt relieved and continued to move forward. At this time, a shining ball of light rose up, illuminating the surrounding environment.

In a corner of the passage lay the mechanical body that was pierced by Loloria. It was half a person's height, with a hemispherical body. Its chassis was magnetically attached to the inner wall of the passage and could move quickly. Rather than being a combat individual, it was more like a service robot inside the spacecraft.

"Wait a moment." Loloria approached the damaged hemispherical mechanical body, scanned its internal structure, pulled out the memory chip, and then inserted it into her wrist to read it.

Soon, she extracted and analyzed the data. After about five or six seconds, she pulled out the chip and put it back on the ground.

"This is a superluminal spaceship built in the year 3702 of the Fifth Era. The organization that built it is the 'π Mechanical Council.'" When she said this, Loloria looked a little awkward.

"Pi Mechanical Council? Didn't they die out around 2900?" Celitia was a very knowledgeable Silver Wing, so she naturally knew that history.

"That's true, but there are still a few remnants left. They have worked hard to build a spacecraft that can travel faster than the speed of light in a secret corner."

"Then when did the spaceship crash?" Tilan asked.

"It is March 3705, 3. The time used on the spacecraft is the Galactic Center Atomic Clock." In fact, the Rose Federation currently also uses a similar time standard.

"When the spacecraft crashed, a strange turmoil occurred on the spacecraft, and a large number of people on board died. As a result, 165 of the 161 passengers died, and only 4 survived."

"Unrest? Wasn't the crash caused by external fighting or problems with the spacecraft itself?"

"Yes." Loloria was also a little puzzled, but unfortunately this mechanical body was just a service robot on the spacecraft, and the things it recorded were very limited.

The three of them explored inside and saw various rooms and facilities in the spaceship along the way. In some places, they could even see shriveled corpses and traces of battle.

"We should not be the first group of people to come to this spaceship for salvage exploration." Tilan carefully picked up a piece of bone with his hands, searching its composition and cause of death.

"Loloria, can you analyze whether this skeleton is a native human or a new species?"

"Okay." After Loloria took it, her eyes shone with a faint light.

"It's a native human. This is normal because the members of the Pi Mechanical Council are composed of native humans." She returned the bone to Tilan.

Then the three of them continued to walk inside, where they could see the restaurant, lounge, fighting room, crew bedrooms, etc. inside the spacecraft.

"Some members died in their bedrooms. It seems they were killed in their sleep."

"Some of them resisted but were still shot in the head. This doesn't seem like the method used by machines and new species."

"There was explosion damage here. It looks like this should be an emergency cabin with escape equipment stored in it."

"There are other mechanical bodies and corpses in the spacecraft, but their time of death obviously does not match the time of the spacecraft crash. They are obviously left behind by the conflict during the salvage period."

"The original traces are easier to distinguish. At that stage, most battles were resolved with bullets, not more advanced laser guns."

……

"Various signs indicate that there was a serious internal conflict among the members of the spacecraft at the time. In other words, the members of the Pi Mechanical Council fought each other, which eventually led to the crash of the spacecraft."

"Wait, here."

Finally, the three of them stopped at the cockpit of the spaceship. A hole was blown out of the door here, and at the innermost side of the cockpit, sat a special corpse. His head was lowered, with a detached combat headset on his neck. There was a black and red pistol on the ground next to him, and his body was leaning against the control panel.

Surrounding this corpse are four candle-like golden crystals, floating quietly, sealing the corpse inside and isolating it from the outside world as if protecting precious relics.

"That is……"

When she saw one of the silver crystals, Celitia felt her brain suddenly go blank, as if a ray of light descended from the vast sky and imprinted on her mind. An extremely sacred voice warned her not to destroy the things in front of her easily.

"This is actually the divine will left by Lady Xi Ephlin." Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

Why would Xi Ephren, as the creator of the Silver Wings, leave this crystal on the spaceship of the Pi Mechanical Council? Besides Xi Ephren's silver crystal, what are the remaining three?

Celitia's eyes turned quickly to the remaining three crystals. As expected, just as she had never imagined, the remaining three crystals represented the golden, purple, and blue crystals of the Dark Sun Hefasim, the Dark Sun Trikarans, and the Dark Sun Emorentin respectively.

The four dark suns left their will crystals here, warning their followers not to destroy this place, and the crystal's own force field will preserve the things inside as long as it is not damaged.

Now, thousands of years have passed, and the facilities here are still the same as before. The mechanical bodies wandering outside have not gone deep into here, which shows the uniqueness of this spaceship and the special history hidden behind it.

The three of them were always puzzled as to why the four dark suns were related to the spaceship of the Pi Mechanical Council, but now most of the things on the spaceship were weathered and corroded, and they could only judge some traces of battle, making it difficult to know what happened at that time.

"Do we want to break this crystal barrier?" Loloria turned around and looked at the two people behind her. She felt that there must be a well-preserved memory device in the cockpit behind the corpse.

"I can't do it. Lord Xi Efulian will punish me." Although her mind told her that Her Majesty Xi Efulian was most likely in eternal sleep, Celitia still couldn't break through the instinctive warning in her creature.

"Lololia, wait a moment." Tilan stopped the artificial angel's rash behavior and walked forward.

“Don’t destroy these crystals easily.” As a singer, she sensed heavy and complex emotions on these crystals. The last time she saw such strong traces of time was in the core of the ancient battle mecha in the north of the Jade Skirt.

"Let me do it." She came to the barrier constructed by four crystals with her eyes slightly closed.

Then, a gentle singing voice came to Celitia's surprise. This was the first time she heard Tilan sing. Her voice was like a quiet orchid that slowly bloomed under the night sky, quiet and distant.

Not too long
While you're waiting
That little signal
Nowhere to find
……

The song is gentle and peaceful, like a flickering fire, warming the lonely night.

This was the first time Celitia heard this song, but a picture like an ancient poem slowly unfolded before her. Under the distant starry sky, a hazy figure was sitting by the campfire, humming this forgotten ballad, soothing her injured and confused heart.

Slowly, as the girl sang, the barrier formed by the four crystals gradually softened, and the crystals in it gradually fell down and landed on the ground, as if entering into peace and sleep.

The white fingers picked up the four crystals on the black floor, then the girl slowly squatted down and carefully took off the tactical headset from the corpse with both hands.

After flipping the switch, the headphones that had been silent for nearly two thousand years restarted, the indicator light on it flickered faintly, and then the built-in recording device began to play back the last recorded sound.

----

"Bang bang." The sound of bullets firing.

...A few seconds later
“……”The sound of rolling and dodging.

...half a minute later

"Huh..." The sound of deep breathing.

"This isn't ideal, and I need to document what's going on right now."

At this time, the vague voice gradually became clear. The person who spoke was probably a man around 30 years old, and his voice was calm and steady.

"First, let me introduce myself. I am a B-level researcher of the Pi Mechanical Council. My name is Omo. I am one of the crew members of this spaceship. I am returning to the Serpens α45 star field with the scientific research observation team."

The sound of spraying and bandaging wounds came from the headphones.

"So far, I have killed 43 companions on the spacecraft, 29 of whom died at the hands of my modified service robots, and 14 were executed by me personally."

"Something like this must have happened under special circumstances, and I must leave something to explain it."

"The members on the spacecraft are the only remaining elites of the Pi Mechanical Council. We have gathered from various secret observation points to attend a special meeting and exchange scientific research results over the past century."

“This was truly an unprecedented and great conference, no matter how you describe it.”

"We, the members of the Mechanical Council who were wandering around and hiding, have finally pieced together a complete blueprint, like blind men touching an elephant. This magnificent blueprint, as magnificent as the Tree of Life in Kabbalah, shows the ladder for mortals to ascend to the peak of the gods."

"Yes, that's right. After thousands of years of fighting against the dark suns, we have finally mastered a more powerful Ladder to the Gods. This is a more complete and powerful Throne of God plan, which fully summarizes past mistakes and incorporates the extraordinary characteristics of the Moon Crown, allowing the newly born solar energy to travel part of the power of time and space."

"In order to fight against darkness, we must transform into something darker. This is the consensus of the remaining members of the Mechanical Council."

"If this blueprint is realized, the revival of the Pi Mechanical Council is just around the corner. Perhaps we will eventually be able to glimpse the majestic figure of the former Transcendents and become a great being like the Four Primordials."

"Everything is beautiful and full of hope. The only disturbing thing is that this blueprint is too beautiful and shining."

"Like the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, it invites the original sin."

There were sounds of coughing, shooting, and running footsteps. After about 20 minutes, the voice continued to speak.

"Yes, it is so beautiful that I must take up my gun and execute those who were my former companions."

"There's a traitor among us. Strange things are starting to happen on the spacecraft. A senior professor died in the shower. Test results showed that he died from electric shock. But what era is this? Such a stupid way of death is simply a mockery."

"Some people started to feel uneasy, and then one thing led to another. The researcher who knew the Throne of God project best was found dead in a bathtub with his wrists slit. And the alarm hadn't been activated at the time."

"In order to dispel the unrest, an investigation team was formed on the spacecraft and martial law was imposed."

"We have found one of the murderers. He is mentally ill. It is said that he dreamed of a future that was too beautiful and felt unreal. His mind was hazy and he committed murder in a trance."

"And this is just the beginning..."

"In the days that followed, we continued to find people dying unexpectedly, some by suicide, some possibly by murder, some of the murderers were found, and some were never found."

"A mood of uneasiness and anxiety spread, and some people suspected that someone in the investigation team was a traitor. In the heat of the moment, one of the members was executed."

"The bond of trust began to break down, and more deaths occurred at this time."

"I know there must be someone behind all this, but it's hard to say that the rest of the people are completely innocent. They could become the next perpetrator at any time."

"Members of the original investigation team died one after another. When the last member passed away, I put him into the body bag. He was holding a badge tightly in his hand. It was the sage badge representing the doctor's mission."

"I know he is innocent. We were good friends and spent nearly ten years together in school. I know his character. He is kind and indecisive. Such a person would not become a murderer."

“But such a good man died.”

"I realized that if this continues, the good guys will lose, and in the end, the perfect God's Throne plan will fall into the hands of the ambitious people."

"So far, countless people have died on the road to fighting the Dark Sun, including our Pi Mechanical Council and countless ancestors who have disappeared."

"I am not qualified to judge all the companions on the spacecraft. There is not enough time, and I cannot put such an important future on my ability to distinguish between innocent good people and ambitious people hiding among them."

The sound of a long, deep breath.

"Innocent companions will surely die under my gun. This is my sin, but I have no choice. I must eliminate all possible hidden dangers on this spaceship, including myself."

"I forced the pilot, who was also my former companion, to let me enter the main control room of the spacecraft. I modified the code of the service robots on the spacecraft, making them efficient tools and killing those familiar faces."

"After taking control of part of the spacecraft, I injected a euthanasia drug into my once familiar companion. He told me when he saw this scene that I was like a calm madman, gambling with the future of the entire Mechanical Council. Even kind people would no longer trust anyone after experiencing such a twisted and dark thing."

"I admit he's right, but I have no choice. I no longer believe in children's fairy tales like kindness can win."

"To fight against darkness, we must transform into something darker. This is the consensus of the remaining members of the Mechanical Council." He repeated this sentence once again.

"Yes, I have no way out. At this time, I remembered an ancient proverb."

"The path is now complete, and all the past is like discarded soil."

“From the moment this magnificent blueprint appeared, those of us who created and wove it were no longer needed.”

"Humanity is fragile and cannot bear such a heavy responsibility. It is time for us to withdraw from the stage of history. Since we are called the Mechanical Parliament, let those artificially created mechanical life forms inherit our mission."

"Perhaps, they should change their names, such as the next letter of π——

——ρ Mechanical Parliament. "
