Chapter 94: Silent Film Era (5,000 words)

"Buzz...buzz..."
In the quiet room, the frantically vibrating mobile phone screen was already lit, and new messages were popping up every second.
Lin Tuo was startled, thinking of the reminder of the evolving sand table, he felt uneasy in his heart. He quickly picked it up and looked at it. The frantic screen-sweeping news in each group made him unable to instantly understand what had happened.
After holding the screen and watching for ten seconds, he finally understood what was going on.
"Projection...Global projection...Is this the data breach that Sand Table said?"
Whispering softly, Lin Tuo suddenly got up, pushed the door to the courtyard, raised his head, but there was nothing unusual in the sky.
"Sure enough... is it only in the sky above the super-large cities in the world... Why is this? Is it... Ether?"
Lin Tuo reacted suddenly.
After all, the concentration of ether is positively related to the number and quality of the population, so theoretically, the area where the large cities in the world are located has the most ether.
At least several orders of magnitude away from Yangcheng.
Only in this way can we explain what is happening right now.
"That candle destroyed the sandbox environment...causing a data leak.
Therefore, in the metropolis of Winton Kingdom, the area where the candle is located is synchronized in real time under the action of some unknown mechanism, and is projected into reality..."
After sorting out the logic in his mind, Lin Tuo held his breath.
"So, right now, there may be a billion people around the world watching the'signal coming back from the scene ahead'? Watching Hathaway and the others lead people to chase and intercept the candle?
Or... witness the destruction of a world? "
This is because it is late at night!
It is night in the Eastern Hemisphere, and it is still early morning in the Western Hemisphere.
"Calm down, if only a part of the image is leaked, the problem is not big. The key problem now is that the isolation hood must not be broken, otherwise, once the crazy split cake enters reality, the consequences will be disastrous."
Lin Tuo took a deep breath, turned around and returned to the study, to the sand table.
Visible to the naked eye, the number of those cakes has increased a lot.
I don't know if the number has exceeded one trillion...or higher units.
Forcibly shifting his sight to the sky over the northern continent, I saw that the cloud of ether had fallen into violent fluctuations, like a stormy sea in a thunderstorm.
However, what is strange is that the concentration of ether in the sandbox has not decreased but increased.
"Could it be that the candle's power is not consumed by the ether inside the sandbox, but by itself?"
Lin Tuo frowned and thought.
This is not good news. If its power comes from the sandbox, Lin Tuo can use the gas method to pump out the ether and make it lose its energy source.
But in the current situation, this plan is obviously meaningless.
Lin Tuo even suspects that this item can draw power directly from the "spiritual world". After all, things that can threaten the sandbox environment cannot be inferred by common sense.
"Then what should I do? Take these cakes out of the sand table? No, it has been mixed with the human kingdom, and once I bring it into reality, will it spread to reality?"
"Dimensional reduction strikes? Sacrificing millions of people in Metropolis, trying to kill?"
This plan came cold-blooded.
Second, even if dimensionality reduction strikes are implemented, there is a high probability that the problem cannot be solved.
After thousands of years of development, the power of the extraordinary powerhouses in the Northern Continent has been terrifying, and it is by no means weaker than pure physical crushing or the high temperature of laser cannon.
What's more terrible is that this candle shows a clear "regularization" power.
Even if you punch yourself, the other party makes a wish before the fist comes... It's likely to return without success.
Just as Lin Tuo was thinking about it, probably because of the further increase in the danger level, a virtual panel popped up automatically on his retina.
[It is detected that the abnormal value of the sandbox environment has broken the warning line, whether to enable "format"? 】
[Note: "Formatting" will irreversibly delete the current sandbox environment data, and all life and matter will return to elementary particles]
"format?"
Lin Tuo was startled.
The meaning of this function is very clear. Once Lin Tuo is turned on, everything in the entire North and South Continent, Jiudalian Island, Storm Sea... everything in the sandbox will be forcibly deleted and turned into nothingness.
Obviously, this is a safe way to derive the sand table.
[Reminder: When the abnormal data in the sandbox is about to overflow, the formatting is turned on by default]
Seeing the following reminder, Lin Tuo was silent and closed the virtual panel.
At this moment, his tight heartstring eased slightly.
According to the system description, at present, the power of that candle is still tightly sealed inside, and once it really faces a leak, the system will automatically implement a "format" antivirus.
"At least, the worst situation will not happen." Lin Tuo smiled bitterly, but he couldn't say that it was easy.
Even if there is a barrier from the evolutionary sand table, it will not cause a global disaster, but the tens of millions of people, sea people, and even larger, low-smart life groups in the entire No. 2 sandbox will completely disappear.
This is a more thorough "world destruction".
To stop all of this, Lin Tuo must find a solution before formatting.
"Think calmly... calmly... think about its characteristics, there must be weaknesses."
In the study, Lin Tuo closed his eyes and whispered softly. In his mind, it was like playing a movie, replaying the information Hathaway had previously provided.
Suddenly, a paragraph of words came to mind.
"Remember, Hathaway said that the fulfillment of a wish must be done through someone's utterance... The extraordinary under him bit his tongue and got rid of control..."
"Say it..."
Repeatedly chewing on this key information, Lin Tuo's eyes suddenly lit up, immediately turned around, came to the desk, and looked at the magic books that were arranged in a row and brought back from the sandbox.
His fingers ran across the rows of books, and finally one of them was taken out, placed on the table, and spread out.
"Wow..."
While turning the pages of the book, magic runes appeared in front of Lin Tuo's eyes, and finally fixed on a certain page.
Without a word, he pulled the chair away, sat down, and looked at it for a while.
Then he leaned back in the wicker chair and closed his eyes.
Begin to outline this corresponding spell rune in my mind that can resonate with the spirit world.
...
...
at the same time.
On the Internet, news from global projections has spread rapidly. In super cities, more and more people are walking out of their homes and looking up at the sky. This is an extremely amazing scene.
And more people have joined the ranks of "global viewing" through webcasting and other means.
...
Pacific Ocean, deep.
The gathering place for scientific research ships from various countries.
The night breeze made the waves make sleepy noises, but at this moment, none of these ships from all over the world fell asleep.
Those omni-directional shots placed on the top of the cabin were all raised together and aimed at the picture scroll in the sky.
In the monitoring cabin, the atmosphere is warm and tense. Everyone is busy and dare not let go of any abnormal signals that may appear.
In the fleet, on a scientific research vessel with a deep red bottom and a pure white top, a team from China is also trying to communicate with China.
If the current anomaly is just a spectacular sight for ordinary people.
So, for all countries, it means unknown hazards that may break out at any time.
"...There is news from China that similar images have appeared over 46 large cities around the world!"
"... Jingli attaches great importance to it and is already holding an emergency meeting."
"...The latest satellite images are transmitted back, and the black box is obscured and blurred..."
In the central hall, noisy but methodical voices echoed around.
One message after another is transmitted and converted across the ocean and the starry sky.
No one knows what happened, let alone what will happen next.
"According to the news, some countries along the Pacific Rim have tried to mobilize warships to prevent and respond to possible dangers."
During the discussion, a technician in charge with glasses heard a colleague next to him whisper.
"Navy? Has it reached this point?" The person in charge was a little worried.
"If you don't speak well, you have to be prepared," the colleague said, seeming to feel that the atmosphere is too depressing, and said in a joking tone, "Wish we can see the sun tomorrow."
The person in charge was silent.
He knows the meaning of this joke.
If there is a real danger, the people on their ships will be affected first.
"I'll go out and have a look." There was silence, he said, then opened the hatch and went to the deck.
Outside, people were walking as well, and other ships in the distance were also brightly lit.
The person in charge raised his head and looked to the sky through the glasses.
Probably because of the shortest distance, the
picture quality
of the pictures here is the best, and the
delay
is also the lowest.
At this moment, there have been new changes in the picture like a special effects movie.
...
The Kingdom of Winton, the metropolis.
"Wow..."
The loud sound of the river impact echoed in his ears, Master Hathaway's expression became more tense, and the chill on his face grew stronger.
"Left!"
she says.
The voice fell, and among the supernatural being shrouded in smoke behind him, someone struck out a magical attack in the corresponding direction.
This is to correct the trajectory of the "prayer candle" flying ahead.
After leaving the illusion space, Hathaway did not stop for a while, leading a group of extraordinary people to bite behind the prayer candles, and according to Lin Tuo's instructions, tried to drive them outside the city.
However, the candlestick fluttering in the wind was not so easy to deal with. It took a lot of effort to force it to the dock area.
Here comes the "White River" that traverses the entire metropolis.
However, Baihe tonight is not peaceful.
The frantically emerging cake fell into the water, blocking the river, and raising the water level. As a result, the endless river spread to the entire city, soaking the surrounding urban areas into a piece of land.
The rushing river overturned ships, flooded buildings on both sides, and destroyed large tracts of factories.
But Hathaway was helpless.
"Damn it, isn't its magic power used up?" Bishop Theodore couldn't help cursing in the team.
Continuous pursuit, spell casting, especially flying with so many people, the magic power in this bishop's body has been on the verge of exhaustion.
But the candlestick in front of him is still very comfortable.
"Prepare, try again!" Suddenly, Hathaway felt something and said.
Then, the great master raised his hand and shook it, and an extremely huge rose phantom appeared in the night sky.
Not just one!
At this moment, Hathaway did her best. Above the White River, a rose garden appeared in the void. Numerous blooming flowers with spikes grew madly, rolling towards the "prayer candle" from all directions.
"Orrod! Neftu! It's now!"
At the same time, Hathaway called out suddenly.
Then, in the horrified gaze of Theodore and others, a figure walked out of the left front and right front of the candle at the same time.
The tall Theodore is dressed in a white robe, his feet are bare, and his face is solemn, like a classical stone statue.
When he appeared, the already condensed pure white light in his hand was in full bloom, illuminating the entire dock area.
For a time, both the rushing river or the cold wind freezes at this moment.
Even the praying candle in flight was locked and unable to move.
On the other side, Archbishop Neftu, with a half-white beard, calmly raised a scepter in his hand.
The scepter is not very big, however, in his hand, it seems to be as heavy as a formidable force. It seems that just lifting it has exhausted all the strength of this strong man.
With the appearance of the scepter, a "magic vacuum area" was actually propped up around this place, cutting off the connection between this place and the etheric cloud in the sky.
The two great masters did not know when they arrived at the capital of Winton through the teleportation circle opened by Hathaway!
And lie in ambush here!
"It's now!" Allrod's majestic voice emerged.
"It's now!" Naftu's old body became more and more rickety.
"It's now! Attack!" Hathaway ordered coldly, pointing forward.
Behind her, hundreds of extraordinary people from the church, including Bishop Theodore, were concentrating at the same time, casting spells, and moving forward, making the strongest attack.
Among the people present, no one knows, at this moment, in another "world", there are more than one billion people watching this battle!
In other words, even if you know.
Can not be distracted.
The three major powerhouses on the mainland joined forces to match more than a hundred high-level transcendents. This seemed to be a force capable of destroying any enemy.
Off the screen.
Among the forty-six large cities scattered all over the earth, countless eyes clearly saw this scene.
Although no sound can be heard.
But just through the screen, they are enough to feel the tension in the "video".
If this is really a movie, then it seems to have reached the end of the climax.
At this moment, in the forty-six large cities, countless spectators invariably held their breath, clenched their hands, and were emotionally affected by the battle on Baihe.
However, in the face of this overwhelming attack.
The short candle that was floating in the air, like a ghost, only flickered. Below the candlestick, in an invisible passage leading to the spiritual world, massive amounts of ether were drawn.
Then, a soft aperture was opened.
In the next second, countless survivors on both sides of the White River were manipulated at the same moment, turning their heads like puppets, looking at the invisible candle in the sky, clasping their hands together, and chanting in unison:
"I make a wish..."
"I make a wish..."
"I make a wish..."
Voices, young, old, soft, or hard, but at this moment they merge into one, making one wish after another.
In the next second, on the White River, the white light released by Orrod, which almost covered everything, suddenly went out!
The sea-like rose phantom disintegrates!
Alderrod was so gloomy that he almost fell.
The scepter in Naftu's hand snapped with a click, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
Behind Hathaway, hundreds of transcendents suffered backlash at the same time, unable to sustain them, falling to the milky white river below!
Lost!
Sure enough, it still doesn't work!
Hathaway's face was pale, dizzy, trying to suppress the injury caused by the backlash, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Lost!
It's worthy of being a taboo at the extinction level.
Together, the three of them couldn't stop all of this.
"Could it be... really can't escape the fate of destruction?"
Hathaway was so desperate, then, like a person against the current grabbing the last straw, raised her neck, looked up to the sky, and tried to enter the state of cultivation.
But he could no longer enter the temple.
"Observation Sir... how long will it take you? We... can't hold it..."
...
at the same time.
The Pacific Ocean, the forty-six large cities, and the people who are watching this picture through the Internet at this moment are also in a dull atmosphere.
Just like when watching a movie, people's emotions will be affected and infected by the fate of the characters in the story.
At this moment, when they see this real scene in this way, even if it is just a "silent film," the huge impact on the soul is still extremely strong.
A small number of sensitive "audiences" even covered their mouths in public, and looked at the beginning, as if they couldn't bear to see the next scene of the destruction of the world.
There are also many people's eyes following Hathaway in the picture, looking at the dark night sky together, giving birth to infinite doubts:
"What is she looking at?"
"Why... I feel like she is waiting."
"wait?"
"Yes...I can feel it, although I don't know where these images come from, but...I can feel that they, haven't given up yet, are still... waiting for..."
...
...
Li Shanwu Hall, in the study.
The night was as cold as water, and the room was quiet without any noise.
Under the soft light, in the derivation sand table placed aside, the northern and southern continents and most of the ocean have been covered by cakes.
No one can calculate how many cakes there are in the sandbox at this moment.
The entire sandbox is about to reach the "safe limit".
But Lin Tuo just leaned back in the wicker chair, closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, in front of him, on the desk, there was a book of magic.
On the page facing upward, a complicated rune-like pattern was printed.
"Wow..."
Suddenly, there was a wind in the room, and the page of yellowed paper was turned over, revealing the name of the spell referred to by this pattern and the specific information:
Spell Name: Silence
Cost: 1 mana unit
Range: 10 yards
Effect: The area covered by the spell will be shrouded in complete silence. All sounds are blocked. Any conversation is forbidden, spells containing language elements cannot be cast, and all sounds cannot be transmitted in or out...
"boom."
Suddenly, the unfolded book was closed with both hands.
By the desk, Lin Tuo, who had fallen asleep, woke up at this moment.
In his retina, on the virtual panel, the countdown for automatic "formatting" has appeared.
However, Lin Tuo's eyes were extremely calm.
Like a sea of ​​silence.
When he looked at the sand table beside him, what was reflected in his eyes was like a real silent film.
"Sorry, I have been preparing for a long time," he whispered softly, with a grim smile at the corner of his mouth, "but I think... it's time to end."
As he said, he slowly raised his right hand and hung it over the sand table. The rune that was finally outlined in his mind flickered slightly, and a faint black light swayed from his palm and spread.
suddenly.
Between heaven and earth... swept!
