Cyber ​​Sword Immortal Iron Rain

The head master's trusted disciples were all orphans like her who had never undergone relocation surgery; it was as if he wanted to deliberately collect such people - in Luzon, it was difficult to tell whether this was an advantage or a disadvantage.

The head master gathered all his disciples around him and then gave them scars.

If humans want to gain something, they must pay a corresponding price...

This is true for Employee A, the Snow Ghost, and the Somos: the whole body burns starting from the jawline and covering from the neck to the soles of the feet; the skin that has been peeled off from the top of the head to the Yongquan point on the soles of the feet, and the naked muscles are soaked in salt water at all times; and the face that has become deformed and blind by being squeezed together from three faces.

After being hurt, they learned from the old ancestor the true uniqueness within themselves. The three of them were the closest to the old ancestor's inner circle; they also took care of the daily life of the old ancestor's small kingdom.

The administrative manager of Awasan Toulongdong, the deputy chief of the noble response and processing department of Taihai Chain, and the lone noble in charge of special tasks.

Although Employee A, the Snow Ghost, and the Somos are neither demons nor ritualists, they are the only ones who can serve the Patriarch for decades, which is not seen in other kings.

……

The Patriarch has some other differences from other great kings:

He was an ancient being who had slept in a coffin for hundreds of years...and when the old patriarch was still frozen, his descendants built an ancestral temple in Mindanao to worship this ancestor.

Since he woke up from hibernation, he and his descendants have undergone relocation surgery - and have been repeating this cycle for decades; he even embraced those unwilling rebels and enemies, and even the dead corpses as family members... and eventually became the youngest king in the entire Luzon, but with the optimal balance in size, capacity and number of members.

……

A few days ago, before Xue Gui went to contact the foreign nobleman Fang Bailu, he also came to meet the king to whom he belonged: compared with that time, the physical performance of the head ancestor was obviously more excited and more tense - the Living Council was much more noisy than usual.

The headmaster was not harmed in the horrific ritual of the British Alchemy Empire, and could even be said to be unscathed; but the power of Guixu that it triggered killed all the other kings -

Buried along with those great kings were the maintenance and operations department of the Toulong Cave on Mount Apo… But the company that the patriarch has run to this day has its headquarters on Mindanao Island, far outside the main island of Luzon.

The Snow Ghost didn't know whether to call this a rare victory or a critical moment of life and death.

Chapter 305: Greed (Part )

……

……

“Ah—ah.”

The essence of demons is language, efficiency, change, and the power brought by isolation from the outside world: this isolation also exists between two separate demons. Although they have the same nickname, the differences between individuals are sometimes even greater than the difference between humans and platypuses.

This is a special "audience place": Although the head ancestor will limit the complexity of his own language to a certain range -

However, at this moment, the king still would not speak any language that could be uttered by an ordinary human... It was not because he could not, but because he did not want to.

……

The management of Taihai Chain was completely destroyed, but its terrifying power scattered across Luzon was still considerable; as long as the head ancestor, the only remaining king in Manila, cleaned up the mess, Taihai Chain would no longer need a board of directors.

And on the land of Luzon, all the kings have disappeared; the many vacant thrones will be merged into one, leaving only the emperor born in Manila.

But the same problem also lies here - can they really escape from this terrible catastrophe unscathed?

Therefore, the Snow Ghost needs the wisdom of the master ancestor - to guide himself. Over the past few decades, he has been like his father, elder brother or husband - and the Snow Ghost is just an orphan who killed his parents.

“Ah…Ahh.”

A sound like a long sigh or a dream came floating in the air - mixed with some sounds similar to the Humming.

There is a well-divided area on the body of the head master - about 1.5 meters long and wide, which looks like a speaker grid, full of dense holes. But if you look closely, you can find that they are actually mouths with teeth and tongues, but without upper and lower lips:

The headmaster likes to classify, organize and store. Therefore, he always classifies and stores the organs that do not need to be adjusted and have no practical functions in the body as a kind of decoration.

Neat and tidy.

It was like the Patriarch had survived this natural disaster while the other great kings had died - he was special and different. The Patriarch respected the rules, but could break them when necessary; this gave him terrifying power.

As long as he exists, the fate of the Taihai Chain - or, the only remaining Awasan Toulong Cave - will not stop.

……

The head sect master gently trembled his huge body that almost reached the top of the Death City; the arms like cilia on the skin danced as if blown by the wind.

Xue Gui knew that this was the master's ancestor talking to him:

"Snow Ghost, how long have you been following me?"

A soft voice came from the side of Snow Ghost's waist: the one who uttered these words was the simple and elegant person hanging on her.

Theoretically, it is difficult for normal people to understand a demon's own "native language". Even if it is another demon, it is the same -

This is limited by human physiological functions. If they could have a few more pairs of eyes with a field of vision of more than 180 degrees, and use limbs that can move flexibly, even extend more than ten meters outside the body, and bend at will as a carrier -

Then perhaps we have the basis for understanding the language of demons.

Even so, humans will never be able to truly understand or even express the whispers that belong to every demon. This is one of the reasons why the Snow Ghost made Park Wenzhi into a biological computer:

To complete the audience, a suitable and timely translation machine is needed.

Even though she had followed the Patriarch for decades, she still needed a translator to accurately understand the meaning of the clay figurine... and when her followers came to pay a visit, the Patriarch would never summon his illusion from the Yin River of the Mother Pool River.

Meeting each other in their natural bodies is a way for demons to express intimacy.

……

It can be said that demons are closer to some kind of fantasy creatures from outer space or another parallel fantasy world - if these things really exist. ... The difference between them and humans is too great.

But... Snow Ghost was different. She had witnessed the old ancestor's death when he was still a lonely mortal, and for decades afterwards, Snow Ghost had always been by his side.

If it were not for the fact that he had no blood relationship with the head ancestor, Snow Ghost would have been qualified to merge with him and become a part of the head ancestor's huge body.

In Luzon, this is a unique and noble honor - many kings will only add their own offspring to their bodies... But the Snow Ghost has never expected this:

Even if she had given everything to this monster in the eyes of others, she would never be willing to give herself up as well: but she couldn't say this out loud.

The snow ghost pressed his forehead even closer to the ancestor's skin.

"Eighty-five years, old man."

……

Yes: Snow Ghost's appearance is younger than her actual age; this is naturally due to her achievements in the field of bio-modification.

From another perspective, her growth was complete decades ago when she grasped the blunt knife that killed all her loved ones on that full moon night. Therefore, the snow ghost also stayed at that moment forever, like a specimen in stasis.

Time has also lost its original meaning.

……

There was a moment of silence. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was the length of a lifetime, but in the eyes of demons, it was only a little silence as a sigh of emotion. Then, the head ancestor continued:

"The entire Manila has been completely destroyed, leaving only a pile of ashes. It's not just because of the Nine-Child Ghost Mother - but more importantly, it's because of the helpers I summoned."

"Yes: the surface has been completely destroyed due to the fighting between various forces."

Snow Ghost was naturally a little puzzled by the "indulgence" of the Patriarch... Before the changes in Guixu began, he did not take any action to interfere with the war on the ground - although it was not difficult for the Patriarch and the power he possessed to wipe out the elite troops of those forces.

Manila - This pearl of Luzon, the city where he had lived for nearly a hundred years, was being destroyed. It was not that the Snow Ghost had any deep feelings for this city, but few people were willing to see the possessions in their pockets being destroyed and torn apart, leaving only debris all over the ground.

but……

In an instant, the Snow Ghost changed his mind and directed his thoughts in a more positive direction:

Once the checkpoints and enemies that stand in our way are conquered by the ancestor of the throne, there will never be a second master in the entire Luzon.

But she had also learned not to question the actions of the head master - over the years, he had always found the right choice.

……

……

Chapter 306: Greed (Part )

……

……

As if sensing the change in Snow Ghost's mood, the Patriarch continued to move his body and spoke through Snow Ghost's biocomputer:

"Employee A and Somos are dead. I can no longer feel their movements in the fetal membrane—"

The Snow Ghost lowered his head even lower. After a slight shock and a little disappointment, he felt relieved: in a crisis of this magnitude, survival depends on luck.

Employee A and Somos - both came to the side of the Patriarch after Snow Ghost. Although they are not very close, Snow Ghost still has some feelings for them: when your work has to intersect with some other talented colleagues... no matter whether your personality matches or not, decades later, you will also appreciate them.

She didn't know how to respond, so she remained silent:

But the next words of the Patriarch gave the Snow Ghost an even greater shock.

……

"I foresaw the present. Not yesterday, but earlier... I saw everything today."

The Snow Ghost raised her head: she was not completely confused, so she could glimpse some truth behind these words - a truth that horrified her.

As if following the words of the Patriarch——

The single dark grey wall of the audience room leaned back quietly - like an opened treasure box, revealing the body of the old ancestor behind it: it was a certain area in the middle of the huge torso, perhaps roughly equivalent to the human chest cavity.

And in the middle of this "thoracic cavity", at the xiphoid process of the sternum, which is made of skin, flesh, bones and special materials, there is an inward-collapsed groove: just like the nylon pads used to hold electronic devices, except that the material is replaced by the human body.

Snow Ghost had been responsible for the supply of some materials for the transformation of the Patriarch’s body, so he had no use for his current body: but in her memory, there was no trace of this groove.

Nor the rumbling machine embedded in it—

Spider-web-like neural tubes extend in all directions, penetrate into the body of the old ancestor, and entwine with his blood vessels and muscles; they curl up into a ball, surrounding the "machine" in the center like stars surrounding the moon - the body of the machine, whose material cannot be distinguished, is long and narrow, with a wide base and a narrow tip, narrowing from bottom to top; it looks like an exquisite pagoda.

At the very top of the pagoda is a strange statue that is completely different in style from the ones below - two prosthetic hands alternately support each other's broken wrists, installing parts for each other.

……

The statue and the pattern it used were extremely rare in Luzon: if Xuegui had not been responsible for some of the intelligence work of the Taihai Chain, it would have been difficult to recognize the meaning of it.

"Self-replication, endless life"; this is the Yin-Yang cycle with the concept of the von Neumann machine - this pattern is only still used by Taoist organizations in New Malaysia.

With a little confusion, a little doubt, and a sudden enlightenment, Snow Ghost whispered the name of the machine:

"Visualization machine...?"

……

Visualization Machine——

A machine that predicts the future based on the present and past.

Unlike the Qigong practitioners in New Malaysia, the nobles in Luzon follow a completely different system of practice - they do not need to use a visualization machine to find the orthodoxy from their future selves.

The machine embedded in the chest of the Patriarch was spinning and shining.

From the details, we can find that it is a visualization machine from the Microcomputer Taoism Research Association: on the corner of the machine, we can see the sign "For internal communication only" - this visualization machine originally belonged to the president of the Microcomputer Taoism Research Association, and came to Manila, Luzon with it.

The metal-inlaid hill of flesh and blood crawled forward, causing the entire audience room to rise and fall and tilt: the snow ghost had to tap the ground with his fingertips to prevent himself from falling backwards.

……

"In order to achieve complete victory, I need to explain to you now - explain why we are here now."

The tone of Pu Wenzhi's mouth at the Snow Ghost's waist was still gentle, but he completely restored the complex and incomprehensible meaning in the words of the head ancestor.

"Everything at this moment is the result of me following the laws of nature."

"In order to go back to the past, back to before everything started - I have been collecting and recording information. It is also because of this... after the arrival of the section chief, I was able to use this machine almost perfectly -"

The "Section Chief" - Xue Gui naturally knew about the mechanical creature that suddenly parachuted into the top of the Noble Response and Processing Section, and also knew that it came from New Malaysia: but she had never been in charge of internal audits, and therefore did not understand the relationship between the "Section Chief" and the Microcomputer Taoism Research Association.

"I adjusted my strategy and tested my plan, observing where the future would go given the differences in these various conditions..."

“In the end: I found that letting things take their own course leads to the best results.”

"But the information I captured is all about Luzon. Even if I add the data from other world copies, there are still some differences."

"The British Alchemy Empire, they want to trigger the self-purification of the Dead City... Originally, the Alchemist King should have abandoned Manchester's alchemy well and come here in person, but in reality, it was his offspring, the Fourth Princess, who came."

"A little bit of discrepancy is within the range I can tolerate."

"The tactics adopted by the alchemy empires... are very good strategies - I am very satisfied. Self-purification cannot kill me who has the bloodline of the past, but it can completely wipe out the other man-eating pigs: so I also held a board meeting according to what I did in the visualization."
