Chapter 247 The Secret of Synapse

Chu Yuan and Shou Xing quickly retreated, and Jing Chen also took a step back, wary of the artificial angel in front of them, ready to use the Starry Sky technique to fight at any time.

The artificial angel's eyes changed color, and Jing Chen immediately went on high alert. If the artificial angel made any aggressive move, Starry Sky's bullets would not hesitate to pierce its head.

"Senior...Senior!" Chu Yuan cried out in alarm when he saw the artificial angel's eyes change.

Shouxing remained silent, his entire focus now on being on guard against this artificial angel.

The artificial angel walked towards Shouxing and Chuyuan. Shouxing knew that the situation was bad. "Oh no, we've alerted her!" After saying that, Shouxing also got into a fighting stance, ready to take down the artificial angel when it reached him.

Jing Chen's right wrist bracelet was also activated to its maximum. With just a slight movement of his arm, the starry sky would appear on his right hand.

However, the scene of the artificial angel attacking them never appeared. The artificial angel simply brushed past Chu Yuan and Shou Xing.

All three were slightly surprised. Why wasn't this artificial angel attacking them? They turned back in astonishment to look at the artificial angel that had just brushed past them. The artificial angel continued walking along the path beneath their feet, and at the same time, many other artificial angels, identical to this one, emerged from the houses lining both sides of the road.

"Are all these angel robots?" Chu Yuan asked, looking at the artificial angels that had come out.

Jing Chen relaxed, and the bracelet returned to its calm state. He said, "It seems that the artificial angels here don't possess any combat abilities."

"Yes," Shouxing said.

The artificial angels that came out of the house had already started cleaning. They were cleaning flower beds, tree trunks, paths, and any place where dust might settle.

"Then where exactly are humans?" Chu Yuan asked, looking at the artificial angels who were cleaning.

Jing Chen shrugged. He knew that it was impossible for ordinary people to exist in Synapse, except for ordinary people like them who entered Synapse through special means.

Suddenly, a series of bells rang out from the sky. The artificial angels who were cleaning all looked up at a certain direction in the sky, then put down what they were doing, spread their wings and flew away in that direction.

Shouxing said to Chuyuan and Jingchen, "Let's go take a look."

Jing Chen and the other two followed the artificial angels toward the direction from which the bells were ringing. After climbing a long staircase, they saw a huge white domed building.

The three stood at the entrance. Chu Yuan looked at the gate and the exterior of the building and said, "It's a very sci-fi place."

"Mm," Shouxing replied.

Shouxing glanced at his watch. "Alright, let's go in and take a look."

The reason Shouxing was looking at his watch was because he and Nymph had agreed on a time. Once the agreed time arrived, Nymph would activate the device and teleport the three of them back.

"Huh? No, really?" Chu Yuan was shocked.

Jing Chen said, "We're already this far, how can we not go in and take a look? It would be a waste of our time."

"Hmm, no matter how you look at it from here, you won't understand anything, right?" Shougai said as he walked into the building.

Jing Chen smiled and followed behind Shou Xing.

The door was tightly shut, and Shou Xing slowly placed his right hand on the door. What would happen next?

Shouxing exerted a slight force, and the door opened by itself. A burst of intense white light erupted from the door, and a gentle current of air instantly washed over the three of them. Shouxing and Chuyuan were both shocked, but Jingchen remained calm as he watched everything inside.

These are all minor incidents. If you're this shocked by such small things, what will you be like when you encounter big scenes? You'll be utterly terrified!

Suddenly, the three of them felt that the scene in front of them was different. In Jing Chen's vision, he was now on a bus, and he could see the various expressions of the passengers around him clearly.

Of course, only Jing Chen can see them, while they cannot see Jing Chen. That's right, Jing Chen is currently in a state of spiritual existence, or rather, he is an observer. His existence is not something others can detect, but he can detect the existence of others.

Soon, the scene before Jing Chen changed again, this time on the street. Jing Chen looked at the vendors and passersby around him, resting his chin on his hand in deep thought.

Could this be Synapse? Is this place, no, this entire world, under Synapse's observation?

However, after thinking about it again, Jing Chen realized that nothing was impossible. After all, he already knew that this world, or more accurately, a plane, was created by Synapse.

The angels living in Synapse, finding their lives too monotonous, invented a full-dive device similar to Sword Art Online. Once connected to this device, the angels could appear in the human world.

Of course, once connected to this device, the angels will experience the entire life cycle of a person from birth to death. For a better experience, the angels connected to this device will not retain any memories. There is only one way to leave this device.

The solution is for their earthly avatars to die! That's right, once their earthly avatars die, they will automatically detach from this device. Once detached, it seems there's no going back. However, all their earthly memories will be preserved.

To put it simply, this current plane is merely a game map for those angels. The angels are the players in this game, and the people who appear in this world independently, not controlled by the angels, are essentially NPCs. This makes it much easier to understand.

Jing Chen understood the principle, but he still couldn't figure out why, if this world was created, it would be destroyed.

Leaving aside the three types of angels currently on Earth—Icarus, Nymph, and Astraea—even the Harpy sisters that Jing Chen previously destroyed were battle angels, and any one of them could easily destroy this world.

Jing Chen couldn't understand it at all. The scene shifted, and Jing Chen was no longer in the human world, but had returned to Synapse.

What came into Jing Chen's view was a place full of high technology. In front of Jing Chen was another large hole, inside which were many glowing capsules. In addition to the hole, there were also many glowing capsules above Jing Chen's head.

Jing Chen turned his head and saw that Shou Xing also seemed to have just experienced those scenes, and was looking at the things in front of him with a surprised expression.

Here, many artificial angels are maintaining the machines. And those artificial angels are the same ones that Jing Chen and his companions saw in the town.

Is this really the interior of that domed building from the real world?

Shouxing looked around at the scene and thought in shock.

"It seems this is the interior of that domed building. But how did we get in?" Jing Chen asked, looking around at the scenery.

Shouxing did not answer Jingchen's question because he didn't understand it either.

Shouxing took a few steps forward, and in front of him was a capsule. Shouxing looked down and was shocked.

Because he recognized the person lying in the capsule!
