Chapter 1128: Chapter 519: Plague (Part 2)
Reina walked toward the stone door, gazing at the plex runes and patterns upon it.
She attempted to decipher these runes, but found them extraordinarily obscure and difficult to understand.
It was at this moment that she suddenly recalled the Spirit of the Code.
Thus, she tried to municate with the Spirit of the Code, hoping for its assistance.
“Spirit of the Code, can you help me decipher these runes?” Reina silently recited in her heart.
The Spirit of the Code was silent for a moment and then replied, “These runes are the Observer’s civilization evaluation report. They record the history, culture, and technical level of the devoured civilizations.”
Reina was taken aback upon hearing this; she hadn’t expected such important secrets to be hidden behind the stone door.
She was even more determined to open this door.
So, she again attempted to decipher the runes, hoping to find a method to unlock the stone door.
After a considerable effort, Reina finally succeeded in deciphering the runes and found the way to open the stone door.
She forcefully pushed open the stone door, whereupon dazzling light shot out from behind, illuminating the entire corridor.
Reina cautiously walked into the space behind the stone door, only to find a massive library before her.
The library was filled with various books and scrolls, each recording the history and memories of a devoured civilization.
Reina felt a sense of awe; she hadn’t expected such a wealth of information to be preserved here.
She began to browse through the books and scrolls in the library, trying to find clues about the Abyss and the Observers.
However, when she flipped open an ancient book, an astonishing discovery made her pause in her actions.
That book recorded the Observer’s evaluation report on each civilization, and surprisingly, David’s name was included!
Moreover, he was marked as an “unstable variable.”
This discovery shocked Reina profoundly; she didn’t know what it implied, nor why David was valued so highly by the Observers.
Reina understood that this discovery might profoundly impact the entire expedition team.
She decided to temporarily keep this secret to herself, waiting for the right moment to inform David.
However, just as she was preparing to leave the library, an unexpected situation occurred.
She suddenly found her language module starting to entropy, unable to clearly express her thoughts anymore.
This change frightened her; she didn’t understand what was happening nor knew how to cope.
Reina tried to municate in other ways but found that her voice became indistinct and almost unintelligible.
She felt a wave of despair; she didn’t know how to face this new predicament.
It was then that the Spirit of the Code rang out in her mind again.
“Reina, do not panic. It’s because you’ve been immersed in the Memory Corridor for a long time, affected by those memories. Your language module needs time to adapt to this change.”
Reina was taken aback upon hearing this, then showed a helpless expression.
She realized that she might have to temporarily give up her ability to municate verbally and rely on other means to express her thoughts.
This process might be arduous, but she believed that if she persisted, she could find a solution.
In the days that followed, Reina began trying to express her thoughts in other ways.
She learned to convey information through body language and expressions and gradually adapted to this new way of munication.
Though this process was fraught with challenges and difficulties, she never gave up hope.
And the members of the expedition team also gradually got used to Reina’s new way of munication.
They started paying more attention to Reina’s expressions and movements, trying to understand her thoughts.
This change made the expedition team more united and harmonious, and it brought a bit of fort to Reina.
However, Reina knew she must quickly find a way to address the entropy in her language module.
She continued to delve deeper into the Memory Corridor and library, trying to find clues about this issue.
In this process, she gradually discovered deeper information about the Observers and the Abyss, and gained a clearer understanding of her identity and mission.
As time went on, Reina gradually grew into a stronger and more mature expedition team member.
She learned how to face difficulties and challenges and how to rely on her wisdom and courage to solve problems.
She knew that in this battle against the Abyss, she had a long journey ahead.
But she believed that if she persisted, she would surely find the final victory.
And at the end of the Memory Corridor, that ancient book and the secret of David marked as an “unstable variable” waited quietly like a vast mystery for Reina and the expedition team to unveil it.
As the expedition team ventured into the core area of the Mirror World, an unprecedented crisis quietly descended.
The language contamination from the Abyss erupted in an unprecedented form, known as the “mathematical plague.”
This plague not only distorted people’s cognition of the real world but also directly challenged the foundation of basic mathematical laws.
Reina stood at the center of the camp, her brow furrowed, gazing at the distant, distorted sky.
Her eyes were filled with worry and unease because she knew this plague might deal a devastating blow to the entire expedition team.
“Reina, you look worried.” David approached Reina and said softly.
His gaze revealed the same concern, but he tried to remain calm to reassure Reina.
Reina turned around, looked at David, and nodded.
“David, this plague is no ordinary matter. It distorts basic mathematical laws, making 1 1=3 a reality. If this condition persists, our entire civilization system will collapse.”
Upon hearing this, David’s expression became grave.
He deeply understood the importance of mathematics in civilization and was also aware of the severity of this plague.
He remained silent for a moment and then said, “We must find the source of the plague and figure out a way to solve it.”
Reina nodded and then said, “I’ve already sent others to look for possible clues. How about you, David, any thoughts?”
David pondered for a moment and then said, “I think this plague might be related to the Observers. They’ve been secretly manipulating everything; this plague could very well be their logical bomb.”
Reina was surprised to hear this.
She hadn’t expected David to connect the dots with the Observers so quickly.
She nodded, saying, “Your speculation is very reasonable. We must quickly find the Observers and expose their conspiracy.”
However, as they were discussing, a shocking change occurred.
Reina suddenly found her mind being jumbled; she could no longer think clearly about mathematical problems.
She felt a wave of panic, as she knew this meant the plague had begun to erode her brain.
“Reina, what’s wrong?” David noticed Reina’s anomaly and asked with concern.
Reina tried to stay calm and said, “I… I seem to be infected by the plague too. My thoughts are being confused, unable to think clearly about mathematical problems.”
Upon hearing this, David’s expression turned even more serious.
He knew very well the high infectiousness of the plague, and if they didn’t quickly find a solution, the entire expedition team might be infected.
He quickly thought of a strategy and then said, “Reina, don’t panic yet. We must find the source of the plague and figure out a way to isolate it.”
Reina nodded and then said, “David, you…you must be careful. This plague is no ordinary matter, we… we might all…”
Before she could finish her sentence, a violent headache interrupted her.
She held her head with both hands and moaned in pain.
Seeing this, David immediately went up to support Reina, letting her lean on his shoulder.
“Reina, hold on!” David shouted anxiously.
He tried to use his strength to support Reina, but the erosion from the plague made him feel dizzy as well.
It was then that a familiar voice rang out in their minds.
“David, Reina, you must calm down. This plague is a logical bomb set by the Observers, aimed at destroying your mathematical systems.”
