Chapter 26 The Death of the Newborn(1/2)

At the beginning, things were not that easy to understand.

The elves analyst works quietly at his desk. He wears long, full-coverage headphones with elf traits, listening to the various echoes about voids in the database - the profession of analysts requires sensitive perception and extremely excellent listening. It is perfect for elves. Most analysts are elves, and their patience tempered by their long life is also very suitable.

The database of the Morning Light Void Exploration Ship is not large, because it was urgently recalled not long after its journey began. The elf analyst estimated that it only took about four or five days to complete the task. At that time, he could get an incentive bonus. After analyzing the database of a Void Exploration Ship, it will be sent separately, so he likes this task with little data.

"Speaking of this, there are already a lot of money and my savings. Where to spend... My mother's jewelry is enough, or should I buy Jenny new clothes? Well... I'll give my father a small submarine. He has been talking about this a few days ago, wanting to go to the deep sea world to see the fish in another world."

Although many ideas about the future flashed in his mind, the moment he started working, the elf analyst immediately calmed down and focused on his work. Listening to the echo of the void requires full concentration and a very energy-consuming technical job, so his salary is not low. Even in order to deserve his salary, he will conscientiously fulfill his responsibilities.

Time passes, and after several hours, the analyst has eliminated most of the worthless clutter. The remaining fragments that cannot be analyzed for the time being will be repeatedly confirmed several times in subsequent work to analyze their value. This is the key point.

Because, if the information in the clutter is really valuable, the Void Exploration Department does not mind giving another bonus, which is also the driving force to urge most analysts to work hard.

"It's almost the limit."

However, after working for so long, I really need to take a break, so I feel a little tired and can't continue to concentrate. When I listened to the sound of void, the analyst said to himself in his heart: "After listening to this paragraph, I will pour a cup of coffee."

The last echo of the void was a clutter that sounded meaningless, without any tone or any beauty. However, this clutter was unexpectedly not harsh, and compared with most of the sharp noises that were twisted by the turbulence of time and space, it seemed very gentle.

"Sure enough, it's worthless."

Although the mild clutter surprised the analysts its speciality, after listening carefully several times, he found that this thing was indeed of no value. It was neither the time and space turbulence that occurred in some worlds when encountering abnormal conditions, nor the echoes caused by the actions of the void beasts, or the ordinary void noise.

Putting this matter aside, the analyst poured himself a cup of coffee, ate some pastries, rested for a while, and then continued his work for the whole day. Since there was an extra salary to get overtime, he took the initiative to work overtime until nine o'clock in the evening, completed the twelve hours of work a day, and then returned to the accommodation area of ​​Jetrum Void Base to sleep.

In the darkness of artificial night in the accommodation area, the analyst lying in bed dreaming, frowned in his sleep, and then suddenly woke up.

"Just...my dream..."

He felt that there seemed to be a lot of things in his mind, some phantoms of strange creatures, but he didn't remember anything... This strange feeling gave the elf analyst a strange sense of danger, but because he was too sleepy, he still lay back and continued to sleep.

In the second middle of the first day, he did not wake up. In his dream, something was sprouting and rooting, something had been changed forever, but the person who was changed did not know.

The next morning, the elf analyst came to the work area on time. After saying hello to several acquaintances and colleagues, he continued to sit in his position and began to continue his work yesterday.

However, just as he continued to listen to the echoes in the void, for some reason, the analyst inexplicably discovered that he could actually directly distinguish which echoes contained in them by relying on his instinct.

"This... is the sound of the nearby medium-sized world! It moves with dozens of small worlds in the same star field, causing its echoes to become complex and chaotic, turning into a murmur similar to clutter!"

"And this! It should be the fluctuation of the interactive energy of a small world with the Great Demon Tide! Oh my God, it is a small world with high energy, which is enough for me to get a bonus!"

"Yes, and this, I can understand what this means... This should be the aftermath left by a Void War hundreds of years ago. Both sides of the battle were very strong..."

The striking analyst found that he could actually analyze the strength of both sides of the past by listening alone: ​​"Both sides have already broken through the limit and reached the level of mature bodies... Hey, what does it mean to break through the limit and mature bodies?"

Although he was a little surprised why his adjective became weird, the analyst did not care too much about the classification of it in the category of "too shocked and speechless", because the most important thing now is to report all these special and valuable discoveries to his superiors, and then get his own bonus after proof that his information is correct in the future.

Even though there is martial law recently and the bonus cannot be distributed in real time, his loan amount will be much larger. Maybe he can save more for a few years... and you can buy a fixed property in the void base!

While maintaining this excitement, he continued to work until he was about to get off work, the analyst couldn't wait to summarize the information and hand it over to the headquarters of the Void Exploration Department.

"It seems that my talent that has been silent for many years has been discovered."

With this joy of almost falling from the sky, the elf analyst lay happily on the bed, slowly falling into a deep sleep. Before he really lost consciousness, a smile still hung on the corner of his mouth: "So this is the feeling of a genius? It's great..."

On the night of the second day, I ended without a dream. In the hazy darkness, something began to spread, wrap around, and influence the material that influences reality from the empty thinking.

The next day, it was about one pm on Mycrov World Standard Time. The elf analyst who had lunch suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't know if it was a stomachache or a stomachache. In short, he went to the toilet several times, but he had neither diarrhea nor other symptoms, but he just kept retching. Because he handed in a large amount of information and analysis that was proven to be valuable yesterday, the director of the analysis department also came to care for it and even took him to the medical center for a comprehensive gap.

"There is no problem...you have to have a good meal."

A dwarf doctor jumped out of the chair, used magic to hang in the air, and prescribed a medicine list for him. The dwarf's close relative, who had gray hair and shrunk twice than the dwarf, said in a rather disapproving tone: "Look, malnutrition, long-term irregular diet, and your eccentric dietary culture, if you are not careful, it will lead to sudden gastrointestinal cramps."

"This is some high-energy nutritional agents from the military. You can't eat too much, but when you are on the disease, the nutrients and slime colloids in it can effectively relieve pain and repair the gastric mucosa. If you want to cure it, you need to correct your eating habits and consume more animal protein."

“Yes, yes…”

Although I want to say, "My diet is very healthy!" to refute it, because my stomach hurts and my body is weak, the analyst has no strength to refute it... Anyway, if it doesn't work, at most, I can change to another doctor to see the situation. After the doctor issued a certificate, the analyst continued to return to his job and continue his work.

At night, the analyst felt that his stomach and intestines began to spasm, causing severe pain, and had already received the military high-energy nutritional agent, he immediately took out a small bottle of something that looked like a can, opened it directly, and poured the luminescent colloid into his mouth. He could feel that the nutrient made of slime colloids made of the main material slime colloids squirmed in the esophagus like life, entered the stomach bag, and began to soothe the rebellious organ... As the doctor said, the pain was temporarily relieved, and the analyst, who was still scared, put down the nutrients in his hand and breathed out.

"What kind of strange disease is this... But it's a bit weird, but has my strength increased a little?"

After looking at the can that had been pinched and deformed, the analyst frowned slightly. He remembered the sturdyness of this military can. Even professionals who work hard to open it without using tools. It is indeed a bit strange that he could unscrew it directly in a hurry.

With a nervous attitude, he turned off the lights and uploaded them and began to fall asleep.

On the night of the third day, the dream was blurred. The elf analyst felt that he had become a monster with a strange shape, swimming in the ocean and devouring all the creatures in front of him. He felt very happy and comfortable, and there was nothing more interesting than this.

After waking up, the elf analyst got up and washed up. When he looked up and brushed his teeth, he was shocked.

"Who is this?!"

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after a closer look, I compared the selfies in the spiritual terminal and the photos with my parents, but there was no change. I had green hair and blue eyes, straight nose bridge, handsome face, and in short, I was still as handsome.

But for some reason, facing this face that was obviously myself and looked pretty good, the analyst unexpectedly had no common feelings, but instead felt like he was looking at a stranger.

When he went to the workplace, the analyst also felt that other people passing by, even their acquaintances, colleagues and friends were looking at them with strange looks, but if they looked at each other, they found that the other party was just saying hello to him normally.

In a vague manner, the hearing that became extremely good made the analyst hear the passing colleagues whispering to themselves.

"Strange, Neopel wasn't that so energetic before?"

"Yes, it seems like he's a different person. Although he was quite handsome before, he felt that normal... but today I feel a little different."

"Oh, the elves' bloodline is good. It's very eye-catching if you change your style. I don't know how the bloodline optimization studied in Moldavia is. If we humans are all handsome men and beautiful women..."

...

The discussion quickly changed the topic, and there was still a little self-doubt in my heart. The elf analyst named Neopel dispelled most of the doubts in his heart because of others' secret envy.

"It's not a bad thing anyway." He thought so in his heart, and even felt a little bit of national pride: "Speaking of this, I remember that I had a distant cousin, Constantine, or something, and seemed to have joined the Moldavia bloodline transformation research group. I remember that I was an alchemist from an elite team of the External Exploration Department... I don't know how that guy has recently."

Today's work is also very smooth. Today's elf analysts can even directly hear the origin behind it from the noise floor of the void. This is shocked even when the department heads learned about it.

"Good boy, you should know that those star-studded people who have been with the Void Monster for more than a thousand years have many professionals who do not have the ability to do this!"

In the supervisor's office, he watched the analyst analyze the correct answers to several difficult tests in person. The elf supervisor patted his junior's shoulders and encouraged with relief: "Your talent is outstanding, and working here is really a bit burying you - in this way, after a few days, you go to the headquarters to experience the qualifications and pass the test. If you really have relevant talents, you may be able to board the "Default-class Void Battleship" and become the follower of the Glorious Expeditionary Force, and directly guide our army!"

——In this way, I also have the credit for the introduction. You and I will be promoted and raised to get a salary increase, just around the corner.

"I must work hard!"

Although he can listen to the echoes of the world, he still can't hear the subtext, but it does not affect the analyst's overjoyment - the listener who follows the army is not at the same level as the analyst who conducts data analysis in the rear! The former enjoys the "Elite Advanced Superiors' benefits", and the treatment is equivalent to the superior technical job of the high and extremely strong person. It is difficult to find one of the millions of people, while the latter only enjoys the basic extraordinary ratio, and is just an ordinary technical job with a generous bonus system.

With encouragement from his boss and expectations for the future, today's analyst fell asleep with hope after taking a can of high-energy nutritional agent again.

"Speaking of this, the nutrients are about to be finished."

The moment before he fell asleep, he thought to himself uneasy: "The doctor said that it would be enough to eat a little, and I can one can at a time... Isn't this a bit unnatural?"

Thinking of this, he fell asleep.

On the fourth night, the fantasy and mysterious, the elf analysts for some reason saw their life in their dreams - from birth to adulthood, from childishness to maturity, when they were young, they saw the throbbing in the sky, when they were young, they saw the message of their first love, and when they became an adult, they vowed to become the best and persevered in their struggle... Everything was summed up in every detail of the lens and turned into a star.

Analysts instinctively knew that this was the life of the man named "Neipel", which was his essence. These memories and information were the real him. If he lost these, even if he was physically the same, he would be another person.

The stars shine brightly, illuminating the dark dream, making the analysts watching all this feel inexplicably at ease.

Then, at the moment when the dream is about to end.

Pure white silk threads began to appear, wrapping the star layer by layer... that's it.

It turned into a huge ‘cocoon’.

The next day, working hours.

"Strange, where are the Neopel people?"

"I don't know... it seems like I'm asking for leave?"

"I was called by my leader yesterday, so I started to slack off today... Isn't it? He is not like this."

"Maybe it's really uncomfortable - you know, he went to see a doctor a few days ago. Maybe it's a side effect of the awakening of extraordinary talent?"

"Who knows."

The discussion between colleagues ended here. After all, it was just a day of leave and didn't come. It was not a big deal. Everyone had inconvenient times. As a colleague who had worked in the same unit for more than a year, there was no competitive relationship between us and no personal grudges, so naturally we would not speculate too maliciously.

And Jetrum Void Base, Accommodation Area, Neopel Room.

There was no such thing as the original green hair and blue eyes on the analyst's bed at this time, but only a "cocoon" with delicate and soft surface and countless silk threads.

The ‘cocoon’ is shaking, but it is not the struggle of the things in it, but the movement is natural, and then the subtle sound waves are emitted. This sound wave is extremely subtle, gentle, like a cluttering wave transmitted quietly in the void, without any characteristics or any signs. However, if you listen quietly and listen to the emotions in it, you will find that this sound wave is like a low voice, a cry, or even a joyful praise.

【There is such a strange problem】

Can sound change matter?

——Of course. Sound waves are originally a kind of vibration transmitted in various media. Excessively strong sound waves are enough to shatter glass walls and cause damage to the human body. Subtle sound waves can also subtly make people anxious, making sensitive creatures feel that they are not.

So, can sound contain information?

——Of course. Human language relies on sound waves of special different frequencies to transmit different information. In fact, the information transmitted by sound waves is unexpectedly rich, but humans can emit, listen and use fewer sound waves, so it leads to humans to think that sound waves are a low-level language. But in fact, sound waves can only be considered as not universal enough in the communication environment. If they were replaced with other waves, the situation would be much better.

No, right, the real meaning of this question is that fluctuations themselves can be used as a carrier. Even if the person who hears them cannot understand, they can also convey some information that can be understood by any life without explanation, just like an image?

——The answer is of course possible.

Special sound waves, no, are special waves, essentially enough to change everything. Ripples containing extraordinary power can exert their own information on the moment they come into contact with the human body, transform the flesh and blood that meets the conditions on the material level, and directly instill some knowledge that has been prepared long ago.

How to say, in the face of these special waves, ordinary life is unable to resist, just like shattered glass, disturbed eardrums, and subtle emotions, gradually, bit by bit, eroded and transformed by its echoes, and then becomes another completely different form than before.

It is even said that it is enough to achieve such a fantasy thing as letting the old creatures "dead" and the new life "born".
To be continued...
