Chapter 1094: Chapter 1094: The Past ’Memories’, Remnant from the Ruins? (Extra long Chapter, seeking monthly tickets)

The red, yellow, and blue glows pervaded the smooth surface of the obelisk, and the terrifying, twisted contamination poured out like a breached flood from the towering obelisk.

The booming sound of the bells echoed in everyone’s ears, seemingly possessing an invisible magic that made people unconsciously want to prostrate before the towering obelisk, merging into one with it.

The surrounding flames that had just been extinguished by the Regicide Evil Spirit were blocked outside the sea of fire, and now the remaining City of Rong Guang Guards, in the midst of the booming bell sounds, were prostrating on the ground, devout and fervent in their gaze towards the towering obelisk.

Their wills seemed to have detached from their bodies, as flesh and soul were dominated by some twisted frenzy.

However, they did not make any further moves. In their frenetic gaze, the violent contamination brought by the obelisk swept through the surroundings.

Hands emerged from the blood and flesh of these prostrating, fervent figures, tearing open their bodies from the inside, and amid the splattered flesh, distorted monsters stepped onto the ruins left by the flames.

Bright train whistles sounded above the ruins left by the sea of fire.

’Hao Yi’ reached out to grab the trembling Riley and the about-to-prostrate Ruilin, retreating toward the open door of the Velora behind them.

Riley had now become one of the nodes for He Ao to control the City of Rong Guang, her very self being impacted by the city’s contamination.

Her special ’sealing’ constitution greatly enhanced her control over the contamination of the City of Rong Guang, making this outbreak of contamination have only a slight influence on her.

As for the contamination on Ruilin’s body, He Ao casually used the power of the City of Rong Guang to isolate it.

But this contamination was not the first wave, an even more violent contamination was closely following.

"You—"

Being pulled backward by ’Hao Yi,’ the distorted and pained Riley looked at the ’youth’ who had already withdrawn his hand from her shoulder, as if she wanted to say something.

But before she could finish, ’Hao Yi’ had already entered the Velora with the two sisters.

As the doors closed, Riley saw the youth and the angel girl walking toward the location of the towering obelisk.

"Aren’t they coming with us?"

She turned her field of view and looked toward ’Hao Yi’ behind her.

"They have their own things to do,"

’Hao Yi’ replied slowly, "Do your best to help him and maintain the stability of this city."

As a key node with ’self-awareness,’ Riley herself could mobilize part of the City of Rong Guang’s power.

With her proactive help, the ’battle’ between He Ao and the Rong Guang Society’s President for control over the City of Rong Guang would be easier.

"Okay."

Riley nodded lightly.

The speeding train entered the void, retreating towards the back.

Meanwhile, He Ao lifted his head, looking at the obelisk above.

Thoom—

The booming bell sound rang out again, like a sound seeping into one’s soul, affecting He Ao’s body and making him unconsciously want to prostrate on the ground, worshipping the origin of all this Rong Guang.

Above the towering obelisk, the sun once tinged with bloody brilliance had now wholly turned blood-red.

He Ao didn’t wait for the third bell to ring. He lifted his somewhat uncontrollable feet and, controlling the maid puppet together, hurriedly walked toward the glowing obelisk surface.

Soon, he arrived in front of the obelisk, reaching out to touch its surface.

In this instant, he felt as if some force within his soul began to stir violently.

That was the power of his Super Memory.

Super Memory?

Why was the Super Memory reacting?

Before he could figure it out, a strong suction force burst from the surface of the obelisk, pulling his whole body into the obelisk.

······

The Velora appeared outside the first ring of circular streets surrounding the obelisk.

At this moment, sporadic gunfire could be heard here.

Faint bell sounds arose in the sky, echoing in everyone’s ears.

But the violent contamination ceased within the first circular street ring.

This was partly due to He Ao’s deliberate control using the power of the City of Rong Guang; the contamination itself also seemed to be constrained by some force.

The presence of the emerging contamination was also trying to restrain the violent contamination.

But given the other party’s long-established style, this was perhaps not out of pity for the lives of the city, but care for the ’livestock’ within the circle.

Just like a farmer cherishing his property.

’Hao Yi’ stood by the window, looking at the blood-colored sun.

But contamination could not always be controlled because the city itself, including its very light, was tainted with contamination.

At that moment, he slightly massaged his brow, as if feeling a severe bout of dizziness, stepped back, and sat down on a chair next to the dining car.

His entire consciousness was somewhat blurred.

······

As the strange dizziness subsided, He Ao slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing that caught his eye was a dim, oppressive, faint glow of light, which passed through a glass cover festooned with moss and dust and fell into He Ao’s eyes.

Then, he saw ’himself’ stretching out ’his’ ’hand’.

It was a pair of chubby little hands, like those of a baby, frantically slapping inside the glass cover.

This slapping seemed to have triggered some sort of mechanism.

Accompanied by a ’click—’ sound, the glass cover naturally opened.

At that moment, He Ao felt as though he had fallen down from some ’height’.

At the same time, his soul began to ’extract’.

He saw a child of about one year old appearing in his field of view.

The child rolled out of a capsule-shaped ’Nutrient Pod’ by its side and fell onto the cluttered metal floor.

Next to the Nutrient Pod the child had tumbled out from, there many other Nutrient Pods.

However, these Nutrient Pods were all open, and inside they were filled with moss and dust.

He Ao lifted his head to look at the ceiling.

A small spotlight shone down from the ceiling, illuminating a weak radiance.

The ceiling was originally supposed to have a set of bright lights, but now only this small spotlight remained, as if it would go out at any moment.

He Ao’s gaze swept across the surroundings of the room.

The room was littered with broken metal and electronic devices that seemed to have been abandoned long ago.

Most of these devices had blurred text labeled on them.

He Ao could faintly make out that some of it was the script of the First District.

Is this a ’relic’?

He shifted his gaze and saw a blurred door some distance away; he wanted to try to approach it, but found he couldn’t get near.

His movement seemed to be restricted to this small, dimly lit room; the scenes around him were also very blurry.

Was this some kind of hallucination? Or...

At this time, accompanied by a rustling sound, the child who had been rolling on the ground climbed up in confusion, glanced around, and then began to search everywhere.

He tried stuffing things from the ground into his mouth, but quickly spit them back out.

Soon after, he was scratched by the metal on the ground.

He sat on the ground and cried loudly, but after realizing no one was coming, he stopped crying, held his wound, and continued searching.

With the child’s rummaging, He Ao’s vision gradually became blurry.

As if the surroundings were swiftly flying by in his field of view.

...

As the new scene appeared, He Ao saw that child.

He had become extremely emaciated, and the wounds on his body had scabbed over.

Seeming to have gone a long time without food, he leaned against the tightly closed door, idly hitting the keys in front of the door, his body motionless.

Bang—

A neatly packaged cube fell out of a square machine by the door.

The inscriptions on that machine had blurred long ago, and the electronic screen was also dim and shattered.

However, the packaging of the cube that had fallen out was still brand new.

He Ao looked at the machine’s outlet and the cube’s packaging, and he felt a certain seriousness.

It was like the food production machines in the lower levels of the City of Rong Guang.

Was this also some kind of ’food manufacturing machine’?

As He Ao thought about this, a trickle of water also flowed out from the machine, seemingly directed towards where a cup should be placed beneath.

The child leaning on the door immediately pounced on it, placed his mouth against the water spout, and drank deeply.

Then he unwrapped the package, looked at the white food inside, and began to tear and chew it fiercely.

Very quickly, he choked and coughed violently.

The scenes in He Ao’s field of view rapidly flew by.

...

Years unknown had passed, and the child had completely mastered the method of obtaining food; he began trying to open that door.

The keys in front of the door seemed to control all the equipment in the entire room, but some keys had been damaged, and the machines corresponding to some keys seemed to have been damaged as well.

This meant most of the keys were useless.

Some equipment required a combination of multiple keys to activate, just like that food manufacturing machine.

The child persevered in his attempts, and finally, after one particular try, the tightly closed iron door opened with a response.

What met his eyes was a vast hall overgrown with vines and dirt.

A gecko over a meter long that was moving about in the hall spotted him and rushed towards him at high speed.

He immediately closed the room door, avoided becoming the gecko’s prey through the violent impact.

From then on, the child gave up on opening the door; he began to rummage and fumble throughout the room.

And He Ao’s gaze followed him as he searched about the room.

Soon, he found a small machine in the corner with a completely shattered casing.

Under his haphazard tinkering, the machine’s screen actually lit up and began to play some programs about text, history, music.

However, many parts of these programs were distorted, many segments were incohesive, and some were even overlaid with a terrifying blood red.

He Ao lay behind the boy, looking at the machine—

Could this be a learning machine?

Through its contents, He Ao could vaguely make out that the machine mainly taught the language of the Original Federation’s ’Third District’, and secondarily, that of the ’First District’.

He watched this ’learning machine’, the scenes in his field of view briskly ’whizzing past’.

...

Several more years went by, the boy had grown into a strong youth, and he had gained some basic knowledge from the learning machine.

He sorted out a metal rod from a pile of metallic rubbish in the room, creating a simple spear.

Once again, he opened the room door and ventured out.

This time, the hall was empty, and he did not encounter the gecko.

The hall seemed to have once been a place of glittering splendor, but now, all that remained were heaps of broken metal, walls covered with sinister emerald climbing vines, a faintly glowing dome, and a blood-stained floor.

The youth explored the entire hall, there wasn’t much in the hall, he only found a lighter-like ignition device, and some branches that seemed to have been brought in by outside creatures.

He Ao’s gaze also followed his and viewed the entire hall.

In the corner of the hall, there was a wide-open door.

The youth, holding the spear, cautiously approached the door, he seemed hesitant, but still crossed the threshold and walked into the corridor outside.

Doors stood on both sides of the corridor, and the youth carefully passed by, opening a door to look inside.

This appeared to have been some sort of nursery, but it was already in ruins, leaving only dust-covered dim glass scattered on the ground.

The youth explored the room for an entire week with caution, didn’t find anything valuable, and did not see the gecko from before.

Then he left the room, did not continue to explore, but crossed the hall and returned to the room where he stayed.

And just as he pushed the door open, He Ao who was right above him saw the emerald gecko circling on top of the ’Nutrient Pod’ the youth ’came out’ from.

The gecko also spotted the youth and pounced on him.

After a deadly struggle, the youth, despite being wounded, killed the gecko.

He used a metal blade to cut off the flesh from the gecko, imitated what he learned from the learning machine, and used the dry branches to kindle the flames, beginning to barbecue in the hall.

He ate meat for the first time, it was not well cooked, somewhat bloody.

And as he was eating the barbecue, the gecko’s fresh blood flowed under the emerald climbing vines.

Then the vines of the climbing vine stretched over, enveloped a large portion of the gecko’s flesh, burying it under layers upon layers of green leaves.

The green leaves became even more vibrantly lush.

And the climbing vine, seeming to come alive, also began to stretch its vines towards the youth who was engrossed in eating the barbecue.

The surging flames momentarily halted its advance, also saving the youth.

The youth hurriedly fled back to the room and closed the door.

...

He Ao was watching the youth’s actions, observing this scene that was always obscured by a layer of mist.

He saw the youth grow up fast, saw the youth slowly exploring every nook and cranny of this building.

This place seemed to be some sort of facility researching life, inhabited by various twisted life forms, including various odd creatures and also plants that could move and seemingly possessed life.

Among them, the most widespread were the emerald climbing vines, and any animal or plant that approached it would be preyed upon.

And the most bizarre was the machine located at the entrance of the research facility, placed in a room by itself.

The machine was tree-shaped overall, and although made entirely of metal, it exuded a strange life force.

And that room where the machine was situated showed no signs of destruction, was clean and tidy, with bright lighting.

Within this building, no exotic beast or creature dared to enter that room; although the youth also felt discomfort, he often relied on this room to escape from the pursuit of wild beasts.

However, after one time when a hyena uncontrollably followed the youth into the room, everything changed.

The youth killed the hyena, but just as he was about to take the flesh, in front of him, the hyena decayed and vanished.

Then he momentarily gained a keen sense of smell.

This smell enhancement lasted a week, greatly aiding his hunting.

Later, he discovered that as long as it wasn’t dead for too long, the freshly dead could also be brought into the room to exchange for special powers, just with lesser effects.

He learned to ’sacrifice’.

Then, he began to hunt prey in a planned manner, bringing them to this room to sacrifice them and gain some sort of special enhancement.

As the enhancements accumulated, his strength grew stronger, and he was able to start hunting exotic beasts.

And as the number of sacrifices grew, many times he began to hear some vague voices not his own, ringing in his ears.

He Ao could also hear the young man’s whispers, but he too couldn’t make out what the voice was murmuring.

······

Many years passed, and the boy grew into a youth, who was hunting at the entrance of this research facility one day.

He had acquired a perception from a certain snake that made him unconsciously alert.

He looked up and saw a man dressed in strange ’clothing’ appearing in the distance.

He Ao recognized the man’s outfit; it was a kind of simple, modern dress from the Main World, ’modern attire.’

Passing through the relic and Main World channel, a person from the Main World came to the relic? He looks like someone from the Western Lands.

As He Ao pondered, that person also noticed the ’youth’ here and quickly ran over.

He wore firearms and hand grenades on his chest and excitedly circled around the ’youth,’ as if he had discovered a new world.

The youth didn’t understand what he was saying, but He Ao did.

He was trying to see if he could get some kind of ’treasure’ from this ’native youth,’ like Extraordinary Powers or Transcendent Props.

Although the youth was wary of him, ’naturally,’ he didn’t perceive him as a threat.

’Erase the sense of threat’?

It’s like the ’Talent Sequences 6: Hermit’s ability.

Jess from the Vitland Copy World was once a ’Hermit,’ a precursor Talent Sequence to the ’Almsgiver.’

Judging from the man’s recent actions and speed, his physical ability should not be strong, just slightly better than an ordinary person, approximately at the level of an F-class Transcendent, probably just a ’Hermit.’

He gave the youth some candy and then kept gesturing for the youth to take him into the research facility.

The youth accepted his candy and tasted a piece; it was somewhat novel.

The food produced by the food factory tasted very good; a piece of candy could only make the youth feel refreshed.

But that man seemed to think that his candy could definitely conquer this ’barbarian’ in animal skins.

So he boldly used the candy as a temptation, directing the youth to take him into the research facility to find the most crucial, most formidable part of the entire facility.

Though the youth didn’t understand his words, after a series of gestures, he hesitated for a moment and took him inside.

The man seemed very confident in his suppression of the youth, especially after realizing the youth was not as agile as himself and lacked Extraordinary Power, he became very relaxed and walked alongside the youth.

Then he confidently followed the youth into the research facility, into the room housing the eerie tree machine.

Just when he was astonished by the cleanliness of the room and the spooky machine.

The youth stabbed his neck from behind with a metal knife, effortlessly ending his life with his rich hunting experience.

And with his body being ’sacrificed,’ some sort of special mark also covered the depths of the youth’s soul.

The man, in the end, left behind a finger bone giving off a faint yellow glow.

The youth picked up this finger bone, chewed it up, and swallowed it down.

Then, he felt intense pain.

Eating Talent Sequences raw.

He Ao watched the youth on the ground, looking at his convulsing body, contemplating.

After a day and night of struggle, the youth gained Extraordinary Power.

And when the youth woke up, for the first time, the ravings in his ear became clear.

"Come here... come here..."

A deep and ancient voice echoed in his ears.

And with this voice, he vaguely felt that somewhere in the relic, something was attracting him.

But before he had time to explore, a particular ’summons’ began to rise in his heart.

Immediately he felt his body uncontrollably being ’taken away,’ leaving the ’relic.’

Is this through the ’channel’ to the Main World?

In contemplation, He Ao felt the scene in front of him become completely blurred and shatter.

He returned from the chaos of his thoughts and found himself standing in a spacious hall surrounded by books, like a library.

That lengthy ’memory,’ projected in reality, seemed to be but a fleeting moment, and the maid stood beside him occasionally.

He Ao carefully gazed at the scene inside the Obelisk; the ’walls’ of books piled up, extending to the top, surrounding him, as if he was in the High Tower of knowledge.

It’s just that each ’book’ in this High Tower carried some distorted malice.

In front of He Ao’s field of view, a middle-aged man wearing a loose scholar’s robe stepped on a wooden staircase, slowly placing a book back among the books on the shelf.

"I have spent a long time without knowledge."

He slowly walked down the ladder.

Standing next to the ladder, the yellow solid wood gramophone automatically started, with the pitch-black vinyl records covered in patterns rotating, playing ancient and long-drawn music.
