Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 333 Plan (Thanks to the book friend! X's coin reward!)

Seeing that the topics discussed by Xie Shen and others were getting further and further off topic.

Li Xiu hurriedly reminded in the combat power detector: "Don't talk about these trivial things for now. Hurry up and ask Albert about the sacrificial ceremony and the information about the indescribable creature of the ancestor."

After being reminded by Li Xiu, Xie Shen hurriedly asked the above questions to Albert.

The latter replied: "Regarding the Unspeakable Ancestor. As you know, I am just an insignificant person living at the bottom of the nest. It is impossible for me to find out such secret information that only the top leaders of the empire know."

"As for the sacrificial ceremony."

He continued, "I have observed this more than once. The so-called sacrifice is nothing more than the imperial soldiers bringing a large number of stowaways to a formation engraved with strange geometric patterns, and then using special torture instruments to kill them all."

"What did you say?!"

In underground pipes.

The moment he heard the words "strange geometric pattern", Xie Shen suddenly became extremely alert.

He stared at Albert at the side and asked him, "You just said that when the imperial soldiers performed the sacrificial ceremony, they had to carve a strange geometric pattern on the ground first?"

"Yes." Albert said as a matter of course: "Although this seems strange, but when holding a ceremony, you always have to do some strange things before the ceremony. Otherwise, how would the gods know that you are offering sacrifices to them?"

Xie Shen looked thoughtful when he heard this and said, "You mean, those strange geometric patterns during the sacrifice were carved to inform the gods?"

"Uh," Albert said uncertainly, "I'm just saying this. As for whether it's true or not, that's up for discussion."

"After all, none of us has ever seen a real god, right?"

Considering the matter of resurrection, it concerns the life and death of all the people on earth.

Xie Shen didn't dare to be careless at all.

He further confirmed to Abbott: "Can you describe in detail what the strange geometric pattern carved on the ground looks like?"

"Or, can you draw it for us on the spot?"

Due to the sewer pipes on the bottom floor of the hive, the environment is dirty and filthy.

So to make it easier for Albert to paint, Xie Shen took out a piece of white paper and a marker from the storage bag he carried with him.

He tried to keep his demands as low as possible.

"It doesn't matter how good or realistic your painting is."

"You just need to draw a rough outline of the pattern."

"Okay, I'll try." Seeing that Xie Shen was so concerned about this matter, Albert did not waste any time.

After he took the paintbrush, he tried to sketch on the white paper stroke by stroke.

Nearly two minutes passed like this.

Albert returned the paintbrush to Xie Shen and said with a helpless expression, "No."

"I said, that's an extremely weird geometric pattern."

"Since it's so strange, it's naturally difficult to memorize it if you only take a look at it once or twice."

"So, I'm sorry."

“I really can’t draw it.”

——Although in today's Milky Way, the fact that humans on Earth can be resurrected infinitely is no longer a secret.

Even the strange geometric patterns used to perform resurrection spells have long been widely circulated in the Milky Way.

But in Abbott's day.

That was when Li Xiu, Xie Shen and others had just started the Great Expedition, and the humans on Earth had not yet become famous in the Milky Way.

At that time, not many outsiders in the entire galaxy knew the secret of resurrection.

It is understandable, therefore, that Albert knew nothing about the strange geometric patterns and was unable to reproduce them on paper.

After thinking about this, Xie Shen took the paintbrush that Albert returned and started painting on the paper.

As an Earthling, he could easily replicate the strange geometric patterns, even down to the exact details.

After the pattern was completed, Xie Shen handed it to Albert and said, "Take a look at the geometric pattern used by the imperial soldiers for the sacrificial ceremony. Is it the same as the one in my hand?"

"This..." Albert stared at the pattern for a few seconds.

He said in disbelief, "It's exactly the same! Even the origin at the center of the pattern is in the same position."

"This origin is like the eye of a monster. I have a deep impression of it, so it is impossible for me to remember it wrongly."

Albert exclaimed: "This painting is so realistic."

"No wonder!"

Abbott speculated: "No wonder you guys reacted so suddenly when I said the words weird geometric patterns."

"After all this time, it turns out that you have seen this pattern somewhere else."

"I must be right, right?"

"Yeah." After hearing what Albert said, Xie Shen nodded and admitted, "Indeed, we have seen this pattern in other places before."

"And this pattern is very important to us humans." At this point, Xie Shenchong asked Albert: "So in addition to being used for sacrifice, do you know more about this strange geometric pattern?"

"That's all." Albert shook his head and said, "That's all I know."

"You have just arrived at the Hive City, so you may not be familiar with the situation here."

"In short, Hive is a planet with a huge gap between the rich and the poor, extreme class division, and a very serious information cocoon phenomenon."

"For example, some common sense circulated among the upper echelons of the hive city will become unknown and priceless intelligence when it is thrown into the middle and lower levels of the hive city."

"Same reason."

"Many common sense circulated in the middle layers of the hive can also become extremely valuable intelligence after being thrown into the lower layers of the hive."

Abbott concluded: "In a nutshell, if you want to get more and more valuable information, you have to climb up honestly."

"Once you reach the middle and even upper levels of the hive, you will naturally be able to learn some of the secrets."

"Then the question arises." Xie Shen asked hurriedly after hearing this: "How can we get to the middle level or the upper level of the nest city?"

“Spend money directly?”

"Or find someone to help you sneak across the border?"

"Or, do you think that with my and Deng Bin's abilities, we can sneak up there without anyone noticing?"

Can you sneak directly into the high-level area with your advanced skills?

Albert thought for a moment and replied, "Let's not talk about you first. At least as far as I know, there was a Return to Void Stage great being called Aotian Supreme Supreme who actually sneaked into the high-level area of ​​the Nest City."

Aotian Supreme? ?
It’s this guy again?
Moreover, he actually broke through to the Return to Void Stage without any notice?
After learning that Aotian the Supreme Lord had also been to Chao City, Xie Shen showed great interest.

he asked.

"What happens next?"

"Since you, a person from the lower levels, know about this, does that mean that the Supreme Being was finally discovered by the higher-ups of the empire?"

"Yes." Albert responded and continued, "After the Supreme was exposed, in order to capture the Supreme, the Empire sent people from the high-rise area of ​​the hive all the way to the bottom of the hive where we are currently."

"It was precisely because of the Empire's pursuit that they reached the lower levels of the hive city and caused a sensation in this incident."

“That’s why we, the lower class people, know about this.”

Inside the sewer pipe.

After hearing this, Xie Shen hurriedly continued to ask, "So, was Aotian the Supreme Supreme finally captured by the people of the Empire?"

"I'm not sure about that." Albert shook his head and said, "After all, this incident happened about 400 years ago."

"At that time, I was still struggling on the Green Snow Star."

"As for some of the eyewitnesses at the time."

Abbott continued: "Because it happened so long ago, most of the silicon-based people who were lucky enough to witness this event have already passed away."

"Even if there are a few who are still alive, they are already very old. I'm afraid we won't be able to get any information from them."

Is that so?
Hearing this, Xie Shen analyzed the matter.

"Although the whereabouts of Aotian Supreme is unknown, we can no longer pull him into our camp."

"That's a pity."

"But at least his deeds prove that as long as the operation is done properly, a Return to Void Stage cultivator can sneak into the upper echelons of the Hive City."

"What?" Hearing this, Albert was stunned for a moment and then said: "From what you said, it seems that both of you have reached the Return to Void Stage?"

"Not all of them are at the Return to Void Stage." Xie Shen pointed at Deng Bin who was standing beside him and said, "The one who is truly at the Return to Void Stage is the one next to me." "As for me..."

"Although I am currently only at the late stage of fusion, I also have another opinion."

"Plus, we also have other high-tech equipment that can shield various electronic devices from detection."

"I think that Deng Bin and I should not be inferior to the Supreme Aotian."

"We should also be able to sneak into the upper levels of the hive without being discovered."

"Of course."

When talking about this, Xie Shen suddenly revealed his true intentions: "Considering that my brother Deng Bin and I are new here, we are not familiar with everything here."

"So I'd like to ask you for help on how to sneak into the high-rise area of ​​the hive city."

"what do you think?"

"Well?" Albert looked thoughtful when he heard this.

After a few seconds he asked curiously, "There's something I don't understand."

"Just like General Isaac said before"

"Since both of you have profound cultivation, why don't you choose to join the Imperial Army directly, or work for some high-ranking figure in the Empire?"

"If you are willing to surrender, even if it is just a temporary surrender."

"I think you can easily obtain the qualifications to freely enter and exit the high-level areas of the hive city."

Regarding surrender, Xie Shen and others had actually already considered it.

He explained to Albert: "Although Dunbin and I have extremely high cultivation, we are not afraid even when facing the Silicon Empire, a state machine born from a four-dimensional civilization."

"But what if?"

"What if the high-ranking officials of the Silicon Empire have special weapons specifically designed to deal with practitioners like us?"

"What if the higher-ups in the empire develop high-tech weapons that can control the minds of monks?"

"Take a step back and say it."

"Even without the threat posed by high technology, don't the silicon-based people still maintain some kind of unclear relationship with the ancestral unspeakable creatures?"

Xie Shen concluded.

"In view of this"

"There are so many factors beyond our control."

"So unless it is absolutely necessary, Dunbin and I have no intention of joining the Silicon Empire."

"To do so is tantamount to handing your life and death into the hands of others."

"Very cautious!" Albert agreed with Xie Shen's idea.

After praising Xie Shen, he said, "Since you don't plan to surrender, I can give you three methods to help you sneak into the high-level area of ​​the nest city. It depends on which one you are willing to choose."

"Tell me about it." Xie Shen encouraged.

Abbott said methodically: "The first method is to let the middleman take you to the lower level area of ​​the hive city, and then find a way to commit a big crime and deliberately get caught by the law enforcement officers in the lower level area of ​​the hive city."

"According to the laws and regulations of the Hive City, the stronger the criminal, the more likely he will be imprisoned in a prison with strict security."

"And the most heavily guarded prisons are often located in the middle or upper levels of the hive."

"In this way, you can enter the high-level areas of the hive city as criminals."

Ah this
Seeing that Albert had come up with such a bad idea, Xie Shen and Deng Bin both showed strange expressions on their faces.

After the two of them looked at each other, Deng Bin couldn't help but complain: "The premise of your plan is that we have to reveal our strength first, right?"

"But in this case, doesn't it bring us back to the previous problem?"

"What if the higher-ups in the empire have special weapons specifically designed to deal with cultivators, or brainwashing devices that can control the cultivators' minds?"

"Then won't Xie Shen and I both end up in jail?"

"You don't have to reveal your full strength." Abbott added, "Since there are many wanted criminals and desperate criminals in our lower-level area, I am quite familiar with some of the rules of the Imperial Prison."

"As far as I know, you only need to show the strength equivalent to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator to be able to be imprisoned in the high-level area of ​​the hive city."

"If he has only revealed his Nascent Soul cultivation, then it shouldn't be enough for the empire's top brass to use secret weapons, right?"

"Not right, not right!" Even though Albert said so, Dunbin still shook his head and said, "I always feel that this method is not stable enough. You can try another plan!"

"alright."

Albert continued, "I've heard from some low-level gamblers that there is a huge psychic crystal mine in the middle area of ​​the hive city. Anyone who owes a huge debt to the imperial government and cannot repay it will be sent to work in that crystal mine."

"If you don't mind doing hard labor, then you can consider taking this path."

"only."

Abbott added: "Although this plan is obviously safer and more reliable in comparison, since this plan can only help you reach the middle area of ​​the hive city, not the upper area, so whether to choose the former or the latter is up to you to decide."

"Isn't there a third option?" Albert was only halfway through his words when Xie Shen quickly asked another question.

The latter said.

"You can't choose the third option."

"Didn't I just say that the gap between the rich and the poor, as well as the class division in the hive city, are extremely serious?"

"This makes it difficult for people in the lower levels to reach the upper levels of the hive even if they spend their entire lives there."

"But there is one exception."

“That’s the rich man.”

Abbott introduced: "The currency of the hive city is called star coins."

"As long as you have enough star coins, you can go to the upper levels of the hive city."

"Even if you want to become a noble, it only takes a few minutes."

As he spoke, Albert suddenly put his hands on his hips and leaned back slightly.

"This is the empire of the silicon-based people, this is capitalism!"

“Here, money really can buy everything.”

“Money can do anything!”

Isn’t it just about making money?

This doesn't sound difficult.
Xie Shen took the opportunity to ask Albert: "So how can we get a lot of money in a short period of time?"

"Robbing a bank?"

"Or kidnapping a rich man?"

"Just show me a way. As long as we can make money, Dunbin and I are willing to do it."

"Hey" Albert smiled very humanely after hearing this.

He shook his head and said, "That's why I said this path is not suitable for you."

"Because there are no banks in the lower levels of the hive, let alone any so-called rich people for you to rob."

“There’s not even currency here.”

"The chips we use in our daily transactions are from casinos in lower-class areas."

"Then let's go rob the casino in the lower level area of ​​the hive." Xie Shen insisted after hearing this: "Although we in the lower level area can't go directly to the middle level area of ​​the hive."

"But if we just want to go to the lower area, there should be a way, right?"

“Yes, there is,” said Albert, “but the lower districts are not as chaotic as our lower districts.”

"If you commit a crime in the lower class area, especially if you mess up the casino."

"The result will inevitably be a wanted order from the upper echelons of the hive city."

"By then, even if you grab a lot of chips, don't even think about spending them."

Albert finally said.

"In short, you can either go to the middle level of the hive and be a miner, or take the risk of going to the upper level and being imprisoned."

“These two options are the best options at the moment.”
