It's weird to apply for Witch Academy as a boy

Even though Qiu Ruxin was still in bed at this moment, she instinctively reacted with stress resistance when faced with the unknown.

"It's me." I waved my hand to dispel the disguise spell, and watched Qiu Ruxin visibly relax her vigilance. It seemed that Qiu Ruxin was already in danger, and subconsciously regarded me as her support or backer.

"Just call me Sister Xiaohan, it's easier to say that way." I closed the door and came to Qiu Ruxin, sitting beside her bed.

"Okay, Sister Xiaohan..."

"Are you OK?"

"No...thank you for your concern."

"Yeah." I nodded and looked outside the window where the noise continued, "Qiu Ruxin, do you know what's going on outside? You should know, right?"

After all, if Qiu Ruxin didn't know, she wouldn't be so scared.

But now my only source of information is Qiu Ruxin, and I have no choice.

After being comforted for a while and the sounds of explosions and gunfire faded away, Qiu Ruxin finally calmed down.

"It's okay... Can you talk to Sister Xiaohan about what happened?" I didn't ask eagerly why she didn't tell me that there were killing weapons like guns in this world.

After all, this kind of killing weapon will also cause me to have an instinctive fear. My reaction speed is not fast enough to react instantly when the bullet is shot at me. Maybe in a head-on confrontation, I can be fearless with my mental strength, reaction speed and physical fitness of conscious awakening, but the same cannot be said for a sneak attack.

"Those, those guys...are monsters...invaders, they are demons!"

"Intruder? Can you describe it in more detail?" he asked.

"I'm sorry... I, I was a little emotional." After she came to her senses, she quickly calmed herself down. "Those guys are an organized group, called explorers, or... secret diggers, and... they also have powerful abilities that are similar to what you call magic... spells, Sister Xiaohan."

I have heard Qiu Ruxin mention the word "Explorer..." and she even asked me if I was an explorer. Unfortunately, I didn't pay much attention to this information at the time. I didn't expect to meet it so soon.

"So how did they get guns? Where did they get those weapons?"

"I... don't know. Their weapons are so scary... It's like they appeared out of thin air."

"It appeared out of thin air." After getting this information, I also understood.

This means that the opponent is most likely storing equipment, or it could be a hot weapon summoning spell?

"So you call them invaders because they invaded from outside the world?" I asked tentatively.

After all, the technology tree does not belong to this world, so it must be caused by invasions from other worlds. I didn't expect this world to be so full of disasters.

"I... I don't know, but they are all from our world, that's right... It's just that they suddenly became a different person, suddenly possessing those abilities and acting recklessly..."

"Ah? Are they locals from this world?" This answer made my pupils shrink. Are they not invaders from other worlds outside this world?

No, no, no, no!

It is impossible for a person to master those methods as if he had changed into another person, so... is this possession of another's body?

Or is it the consciousness that takes over, or the body that controls it?

However, what is certain is that this is most likely an invasion of this world by another world, but the means are somewhat beyond my expectations.

"Almost...yes." Qiu Ruxin said, lowering her head.

"I remember you said your home was destroyed by these guys, right? Doesn't your country care about it?"

“How could the country... possibly care? They even publicly stated some time ago that they would let these guys do whatever they want on Lannas Island... Those in power won’t care about the lives of us at the bottom!” Qiu Ruxin’s tone was very excited when she said this, and even tears were welling up in her eyes.

"Okay, okay, you'll be fine now." This is all I could do to comfort you.

"Sleep a little longer, take advantage of now to get some sleep."

"I... can't sleep..." Qiu Ruxin said in a low voice.

"It's okay. Just lie down on the bed, even if you just close your eyes to rest. You didn't sleep for long, so you need to rest your mind."

"Um…"

Qiu Ruxin closed her eyes obediently, but couldn't fall asleep.

I just watched quietly from the side. I have to say that my favorable impression of this world has decreased again. The countries in this world... are they all there to do nothing?

Letting those guys do whatever they want on the streets, do you really think this is a free country, with gunfights every day?

Moreover, those who lost their original homes didn’t even have resettlement housing. If Qiu Ruxin had been provided with some simple supplies like tents, she wouldn’t have suffered so much.

As I walked along the way, I did see a lot of homeless people on the streets of this world, and I guess it is probably because of this reason.

"I... still can't sleep." After struggling for a long time, Qiu Ruxin opened her eyes and said to me.

"Can't sleep? If you can't sleep...then tell me a little about your world. I want to continue to understand your world. Just close your eyes and talk. I will listen."

Seeing that Qiu Ruxin really couldn't sleep, I also got up and took the chair beside her to sit down next to the bed.

But... I still feel weird that people who can't sleep need to tell "stories" to people who want to coax them to sleep. But there's really no other way, I also need to understand this world.

"Hmm..." Qiu Ruxin nodded, speaking slowly, "Then what does Sister Xiaohan want to know?"

"Just tell me about those explorers. Why are they called that?"

"Why... I don't know, but many countries, even major countries, officially name them explorers. As for what they explore, I don't know either."

"Is it an official name?" I nodded to show that I understood. This at least showed that the invaders had come into contact with the top level of this world, and maybe even reached some kind of agreement.

The small country of Lanas Island where I am now has completely opened up to these explorers not long ago, perhaps due to pressure from other countries.

"Yes, but... I heard that those guys also call themselves Diggers of Secrets."

"Secret Digger... Explorer, that's what they call themselves, the official name... Interesting, Secret Digger, are you trying to dig out the secrets of your world?"

"I have no idea…"

"It's okay. I don't expect you to know this information. I will investigate the rest myself when the time comes." I said with a smile.

However, it is obvious that the secret-digger is the real nickname for these people. They publicize their purpose without any hindrance, and the top leaders of this country also use this method to embellish the reputation of these guys.

This is really curious.

Then, I also asked Qiu Ruxin about some other things, such as how long these explorers had appeared, their combat power, their threat level, and their moral standards...

After a little bit of asking, I also had a general understanding of these outsiders.

First of all, these explorers have existed for decades, and the exact time is no longer known. At the beginning, these explorers were only active individually, occasionally making big moves and causing social unrest. Later, the abnormality of these guys attracted the attention of various countries. It was known that these explorers had already built up momentum, and their power was even enough to establish a country within a country...

This completely crossed the bottom line of that country, and then, with the explorers' establishment of an independent nation as the fuse, it triggered a world war that lasted for three years. The countries involved involved almost half of the world's population, and most of the countries involved were fanned by the explorers within the country.

At this point, I also focused on asking about the motivations, such as why the country was founded and why the war was started. After all, if something has no benefits, it is not worth so many people making a fuss about it, or even starting a world war.

However, this world war started quickly and ended quickly. It lasted only three years before it came to nothing. Even the various countries did not publicize the joy of victory.

After that, these explorers spread across various worlds. Originally, Lannas Island did not participate in the previous world war and was just a neutral country. However, now it was forced to open up the explorers' free entry and exit rights not long ago.

I listened carefully at the side and also thought about other possibilities. After all, these were all recounted by Qiu Ruxin, and they carried her personal extreme prejudice.

During the conscious communication, I could also feel her fierce collision between objective facts and personal prejudice.

Perhaps because of the harm she suffered from those explorers before, she had a strong prejudice against these explorers.

However...if we consider the fact that these are outsiders and Qiu Ruxin is the son of destiny, it is not ruled out that this is the will of the world or a deliberate arrangement of the script.

But there is another point that also makes me curious. I learned about those explorers from Qiu Ruxin. If they are outsiders, then they should also be rejected by the will of the world and cursed with doom.

But Qiu Ruxin said they were not that unlucky.

So... just from the information we have now, if the script is to provoke confrontation between the indigenous people and outsiders, then judging from the curse of doom alone, Qiu Ruxin is more like the outsider!

But she has the seed of luck, which is the suspicious point.

Teacher Ji Niang said that the seeds of luck cannot be transferred. Even if it can be transferred, it is not something I can touch at this stage. However, Qiu Ruxin is obviously not such a person.

But I could only keep this guess and speculation in my heart, and I continued to listen to Qiu Ruxin talk about some common sense of this world.

Until... I heard something strange.

"Wait, stop for a moment. What did you just say? A huge hole opened in the sky, and demons rushed into your world frantically?" I suddenly interrupted and asked.

"Yes... This matter is very serious. It seems... It seems that it is the end of the world war between various countries in the world and explorers. During that time, many people speculated that it was because of the arrival of these demons that the impact of the world war was quelled and they united against the outside world."

"Demon...demon of the abyss?"

I don’t care how the world is united against the outside world, I only care about this demon, whether it is the abyss demon that I know!

Chapter 395 Plant Technology and Plant Network

The demons of the abyss have become the biggest threat to this world at this stage, even surpassing those secret diggers to a certain extent.

It's not just the terrifying sea of ​​demons and the sea of ​​the undead that is like a natural disaster, but also their terrifying and overwhelming numbers.

When the cracks open to a certain size, the number of people pouring out of the cracks is no longer the main force.

The dark power that seeped from the crack polluted the geoenergy and turned several large geoenergy transmission stations into hatcheries for those demons.

According to Qiu Ruxin's understanding, the geothermal energy transmission station is probably similar to a power station. In fact, it is a building built in a special place to facilitate the absorption of energy from the earth.

Places all over the world have been occupied by those demons. They are pouring out like a cancer, wreaking havoc on the world.

But these have little to do with ordinary people, because they generally cannot access this level, so they don’t care.

If they come into contact, then those guys won't have a chance to care, because the demon tide will completely overwhelm them.

They care more about things that are closely related to them, that is, the explorers, because these guys will appear around ordinary people, and they are the biggest threat to their ordinary lives...

This is the general information about this world that I learned from Qiu Ruxin.

There is a lot of information I want to confirm, but unfortunately Qiu Ruxin is not very clear about it.

And...Qiu Ruxin didn't take away the terminal that was like a mobile phone or computer, so even if I wanted to go online to verify the information, I couldn't do it now.

Through this opportunity, I also asked Qiu Ruxin about the existence of the Internet in their world.

Because this world uses geothermal energy, the network in this world may be different from what I know.

After learning about it, I realized that the network of this world is called "Plant Network", which is composed of several specially cultivated "Wanlian Main Network Trees" around the world. There are currently many such trees in the world, but if you ask how many there are in total, that is confidential information.

However, it is precisely because these "Wanlian main network trees" together constitute the infrastructure of "network planting" that they can enjoy the convenience of network planting, and these Wanlian main network trees also ensure the stability and efficiency of network planting.

It is also because of this that they can rely on this technology to enter the information age.

I learned from Qiu Ruxin that the development of this world is inseparable from plants, but in order to develop, the world must destroy those plants. Then someone said, "Although our development is inseparable from plants, the development of human civilization requires those plants to give way."

Plant roots spread over almost the entire surface and underground of this world, which is proof that everything in their world is interconnected. However, the development of civilization has squeezed the living space of plants, and there are not even large forests and rainforests in this world.

Because large areas of plants represent undeveloped resources, just like undeveloped oil fields in the ordinary technological world. You can't just bury it in the ground and look at it, you have to take it out and use it.

However, the resource development in this world has collided head-on with plants and environmental protection. It can be said that the history of technological development in this world is a history of constant struggle with plant protection.

The country where I am now, Lanas Island, is also not a very simple country. With Qiu Ruxin's popular science, I also have a new understanding of this neutral country.

When I first heard the description, I thought it was one of those small neutral countries. Although the territory of this peninsula country is actually very small, it is very famous.

Because this is a country guided by the concept of science and technology as the primary productive force, the concept of planting the network was proposed by Lannas Island, and the first Wanlian main network tree took root in this country.

Moreover, the discovery, application and promotion of geothermal energy also started from here, which is no less than the discovery of electricity and the various applications developed on this basis as far as I know.

Such an achievement... probably means something like this, right?

However, with the development of technology and the times, Lannas Island has gradually deviated from its original leadership position as the center of the world. After all, the size of the territory does limit a country's development, and those who hold power do not necessarily need to master theory and innovation. There is no way. With the country's strength being like this, how can Lannas Island reason with rogue countries?

Even if there is copyright protection, things at the national level and the underlying level will not tell you about copyright awareness at all.

Today, Lannas Island still has the absolute status of a neutral country in the international community, and no one dares to invade it. This is naturally due to the legacy of its predecessors, that is, the Wanlian main network tree.

This is the first tree in the world and the main tree that connects all the main network trees. No one dares to move it, because moving it means moving the foundation of the world's Internet. If a country wants to move Lannas Island, other countries will collectively take action to protect it without Lannas Island even raising any objections.

You must know that this main tree cannot be moved. Even except for the professional maintainers of Lannas Island, no one knows how to maintain this oldest Wanlian main network tree.

Therefore, Qiu Ruxin was so shocked and angry that Lannas Island actually agreed to allow those explorers into the country and let them do whatever they wanted.

I have to say that listening to Qiu Ruxin talk about these development histories is indeed very interesting, mainly because it is novel, but I will not believe anything easily. These histories can only give people some understanding at most, but the real history behind them must be bloody and barbaric.

Lannas Island has such a status just because of a tree? Don't be ridiculous. The game behind this is far darker than imagined. Maybe Lannas Island let those secret diggers in this time because it lost the game.

Of course, it could also be the result of negotiations between those secret seekers and other countries.

But don't forget their name, the Diggers, a group of guys who are digging out the secrets of this world. As for what secrets they are digging out.

With the superficial knowledge and information I have received now, I can see from an outsider's perspective that what they are looking for is most likely... the secret of geoenergy?

Then there is their world plant network, which is the foundation for the development of plant technology.

I knew about plants, of course, but I didn't know they could do this.
