Chapter 319: Voyage Recorder
Leo didn't just pick up a book and read it casually. He walked around the bookcase wall in the tower and discerned the general contents of these books from the words on the covers.
The books here are very messy. They are not arranged according to traditional book categories, but more like random storage. Books on medicine, biology, religion, novels, etc. are all placed together in a mess.
Careful Leo found that most of the books inside were very old books. Some of the books were even manuscripts made of parchment, but there were also some new books. For example, he saw an ancient book published seven years ago.
Language studies, this book he saw in the old Rembrandt.
If a ship loaded with books had not been shipwrecked and drifted here, so that these new books could be collected in this library, then it is likely that this place was connected to the outside world.
However, these new books from the outside world were not what surprised Leo the most. What surprised him most were the other dozen books, and these dozen books did not come from the Velen world, but from the dream world. He was in
When Hushang Town purchased books, it also received more than a dozen of these books.
These books are all folklore and the like. Most of them are modified folklore from the Velen world. They should be adapted from the books left by the ancestors of Hushang Town, but there are also a small number of local legends in Hushang Town.
Stories, from which we can have a general understanding of the situation in Hushang Town.
The appearance of these books almost indicates that the city of Yam may have some connection with the lake town in the dream world.
Leo didn't dwell on these things for too long. After not finding the books he wanted, he immediately followed the spiral staircase to the second floor. The furnishings on the second floor were almost exactly the same as those on the first floor. The only difference was that
The monster statues on the stone pillars have all been replaced with the same type of statues, which are statues of pregnant women.
The only difference from ordinary pregnant woman statues is that these statues do not express non-maternal beauty. Instead, each pregnant woman's face is carved into a ferocious monster face, and the surface skin of the pregnant woman is also heavily carved.
The mysterious patterns, if you look carefully and put your feet under your feet, you can see some reliefs that look like small bugs. It feels like these bugs were born from a pregnant woman.
After Leo climbed to the second floor of the tower, he stood at the entrance of the spiral staircase. He did not take another step inside. Instead, he looked around very vigilantly and held the twin cross swords tightly in his hands.
"Invisible?" Leo said to himself, while walking to the floor of the second floor of the Stone Tower Library.
The moment his feet landed on the ground, he quickly swung the cross sword with both hands. After a few rays of light flashed in the air, he saw several blood dances appearing out of thin air, and then heard several
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was accompanied by the flow of blood, and the attacker's body was also revealed under the influence of blood.
I saw four monster bodies on the ground that had been cut in half by twins. This monster body looked like an enlarged version of a locust, but it was not the jointed limbs like locusts that supported the body, but human arms. Count them.
There are as many as eighteen.
The monster's head looks like an octopus, but their head is much larger than an octopus, and it is transparent, so you can easily see some snake-like objects swimming in their brains.
However, the appearance of the monster is not the end of Leo's attention. After Leo saw the monster's appearance clearly, his eyes always fell on the monster's mouthparts. They have no mouths, but a spiked straw-like mouthparts.
, just now they were planning to sneak up to Leo, use this straw to pierce Leo's head, and suck out Leo's brain.
The straw-like mouthpart itself has nothing special except that it is hard and contains a trace of psychic energy fluctuations. However, this straw-like mouthpart evokes some bad memories for Leo.
In a previous war, Leo's group was attacked by a special type of Zerg. These Zerg were not only extremely powerful, but also possessed psychic abilities. The group he was in at that time was quickly defeated, and all the captured people
They were all sucked out of their brains by the female worms in the Zerg tribe using their sucking mouthparts.
Leo is no exception, but he is a biochemical human. Although the artificial brain was damaged when the straw organ was inserted into the brain, his important organs such as memory chips are still intact. He can make up for this by remaking an artificial brain.
Lost once.
Although this did not cause irreparable damage to Leo, when the artificial brain was removed, the nerves of the brain and the control module were still connected, and his various feelings were normal, so what was it like to have his brain drained out?
He felt it all the way.
When he was in the Earth Federation, Leo was still a cyborg and didn't have any ordinary human emotions. He would be just like a bystander and would not feel any discomfort. But now he has acquired various senses of ordinary people.
Naturally, the reactions to these things will be different.
After suppressing the discomfort caused by the bad memory, Leo was about to step forward to check the bodies of the four monsters, but after taking two steps, he quickly stepped back and continued to retreat away from those monsters.
Several monsters.
Just when he retreated five or six meters, the big heads of the monsters burst like blisters, and at the same time, the snake-sized bugs inside the big heads rushed towards Leo with the help of this force.
come over.
This kind of attack would not have any impact on Leo at all. With a few easy swings of the cross sword in his hand, he cut these bugs into several pieces. However, after these bugs were cut, they fell to the
A pool of mucus immediately decomposed on the ground, and an extremely fishy smell emanated from the mucus.
Logically speaking, this extremely fishy smell should make Leo feel nauseous, but for some reason, Leo felt a strong sense of hunger after smelling this smell. It was obvious that the Chaos Stomach was triggered again.
He had lost his appetite, and the intensity of his appetite this time was similar to the intensity of appetite produced by the pseudo-symbiote that Leo saw in the basement of Miria City.
However, this uncontrollable appetite comes and goes quickly. When the fishy smell dissipates, the appetite caused by the chaotic stomach also dissipates quickly.
"It seems that the bugs here are really related to the experiments at Miriam City Medical College." Leo carefully recalled the feeling that triggered his appetite just now, and made a vague guess in his mind.
However, this matter did not bother him for too long, and he quickly returned his attention to the books around him.
At this moment, an energy conversion lamp is on on the desk, and there are several books placed around it. It seems that someone should be reading here just now, and based on the current situation, the person reading these books should be
Those are the monsters just now.
"They should be just scholars, not warriors." Leo recalled the process of killing those monsters and quickly made a judgment.
Although for ordinary people, those monsters that can become invisible and have powerful power are very dangerous, but in Leo's case, those monsters are not much different from ordinary people, and they are far better than the yellow-robed men he just saw.
It is inferior, so it can be seen that these monsters are not the guards of this floor of the tower, but a few ordinary mutants reading here. It is a pity that they were unlucky to meet Leo.
Leo looked through the books on the table for a while. These books were all kinds of medical books, and judging from the condition of the books' paper, they should have been published in the past two years, and at the end of the books
page, and also has a special seal published by the medical school.
"It seems that there is something wrong with the medical school." Leo naturally connected the things that the medical school has been planning in recent years with the scene in front of him, and he also felt that things had become a little complicated.
After pondering for a moment, Leo shook his head and gave up the idea of pursuing this matter. Instead, he followed the original plan and searched for things that might be useful to him on the bookshelf on this floor of the tower.
Compared with the messy books on the lower floor, the books on this floor are obviously more organized, but the books here are a bit too single. They are all various medical books, and nearly 90% of them are related to blood.
Moreover, these books are all published by medical schools, and there are even some banned books that are banned by various countries in Velen.
Not being able to find the books he wanted on this floor, Leo went up to the tower on the upper floor. However, when he entered the third-floor tower, the hypergravity energy in the surrounding air gave him a disincentive.
, making his body more than ten times heavier.
Fortunately, when he was in the Earth Federation, Leo had carried out missions to hypergravity planets more than once and knew how to adapt to the foreign gravity on his body as quickly as possible.
Holding on to the iron handle next to him, Leo stood for a while. After his body adapted to the change in gravity, he walked into the library this time.
Because no monster had attacked him while he was adjusting to gravity, he judged that there were no other people or monsters in the tower on this floor.
The layout of this floor is different from the two floors below. There are no tables and chairs for visitors to read. All those who come here to read can only sit on the floor.
In addition, there are no columns on this floor of the tower, and there are only five bookcases. Looking over it, it looks empty.
There is no magic circle or Turing root in this tower, and there are no psychic fluctuations around it. However, gravity is always there, which makes Leo couldn't help but think of the source of energy in the parasitized person. Both of them seem to be generated out of thin air.
Energy cannot be found.
Without thinking about where this gravity came from, Leo put it aside for the time being. Under the pressure of gravity, he slowly walked to those extremely eye-catching bookcases.
Leo's eyes just glanced at the bookcase and landed directly on a metal object stored in a separate compartment on the right side of the bookcase.
Leo was very familiar with this instrument. It was a recorder on the spaceship. It was mainly used to record the route of the spacecraft in the universe. It also recorded some conversations and important documents in the captain's room. During the Earth Federation, it had executed countless
It was his first mission to go deep into the battlefield to find this type of recorder, so he could be said to know this thing very well.
This recorder was not complete, only part of it, but from the structure of this part and the main control chip, Leo easily recognized that this recorder was the E-bidi-19e409 recorder.
The name of this recorder was renamed by the Earth Federation. The original name was composed in an alien language and could not be read by the Earth Federation's system, so it had to be renamed.
Nearly half of the commercial cargo spacecraft and small excavation spacecraft in the entire universe are equipped with this kind of recorder. It is almost impossible to judge what kind of spacecraft it belongs to from the model of the recorder.
However, after Leo picked up the recorder, he saw that the chip was stamped with the Weiya people's mark. It can be seen that the recorder should come from the Weiya people's commercial spacecraft, which just further confirmed Leo's previous guess.
.
Leo carefully checked some of these recorders. According to his understanding, this type of recorder has its own decryptor, and because of his mission, he knew the decryption method of part of the decryptor. If this recorder is not a revised version
If so, he can interpret the data in the recorder now.
Taking the recorder in his hand and examining it carefully, Leo found that the recorder had been viewed many times. Although the decryption code still existed, it no longer worked. The recorder was now public.
After discovering this, Leo immediately moved a hidden buckle under the recorder according to the method he knew, took off the built-in interpretation device, and then hung it on the auricle. The other end of the device was connected to the induction patch with a wire.
The stickers were affixed to both sides of the forehead, and finally the contents on the recorder were decrypted according to the decryption method.
Under the stimulation of the electron beam on the patch, a fantasy pattern similar to the accessory brain system appeared in front of Leo's eyes.
Leo was already very familiar with this kind of operation, and he quickly checked the status of the recorder.
Unfortunately, a large amount of the content in the recorder has been lost with other modules, and all that remains are some galaxy maps recorded by the voyage.
This part of the interstellar navigation diagram is not complicated. That is, many of the galaxy diagrams are galaxies that Leo is familiar with, but there are also many galaxies that Leo has not seen. This is also consistent with the voyage records of the Wyatts' wandering fleet, because the Wyatts
It is also the largest galaxy map database provider in the universe.
Apart from anything else, if the unseen galaxy maps on this recorder were placed in the Earth Federation, they could be sold for sky-high prices, but now they are just a bunch of useless data.
When he was about to finish reading the pictures of galaxies that he knew and didn't know, a photo of a nebula with a very strange shape was sandwiched among the pictures of galaxies, which caught Leo's attention and fixed it in front of his eyes.
"Devil's Nebula? It's the Devil's Nebula!" After careful identification, Leo exclaimed because he discovered that this nebula photo was the Devil's Nebula, which has been designated as a forbidden area by various civilizations in the universe. From this photo,
