Then Let Them Show Their Loyalty - Then let them show their loyalty Chapter 441
As if trying to force her to continue exploring the clue she had temporarily given up on, the voices screamed wildly in her mind, emitting a new and disturbing word – pre-civilization.
”Something’s wrong, it hurts!”
Su Lingqing felt an irresistible pressure. These voices created huge chaos and fear in her mind. Each scream was like a heavy hammer, hitting the depths of her soul, triggering deep emotions. Deep unease and confusion.
But at this moment, Su Lingqing’s thinking suddenly became extremely clear, and she suddenly understood that the voices that kept screaming in her mind were actually pre-civilized consciousnesses.
”I remembered, this pre-civilized bastard, she was waiting for me to be overwhelmed by the information! It wanted this body of mine! Why?”
This consciousness tried to capture her spirit and implant its own existence into her mind.
This realization made Su Lingqing feel unprecedented fear and despair. She felt that her consciousness was being eroded by a powerful and unfamiliar force. This force was both powerful and strange. It was constantly trying to control her thinking and actions, every time. The impact of this power made her feel that her will was gradually melting away.
”No, we can’t continue like this!”
In this desperate situation, Su Lingqing tried her best to stay calm. She knew that once she completely lost control of her consciousness, she would no longer be herself, but would become a puppet of the pre-civilized consciousness. She tried to concentrate on herself. Will, trying to find a glimmer of hope to resist this seemingly irresistible spiritual seizure.
She began to seek the strength deep in her heart, those memories, emotions and beliefs that belonged to her. As a shield against the invasion of this foreign consciousness, Su Lingqing knew that her only hope was to stick to her own will, maintain herself, and not let go. The consciousness of pre-civilization completely occupied her mind.
Su Lingqing’s every resistance was extremely difficult, but she did not give up.
Just when Su Lingqing’s invisible struggle with the pre-civilized consciousness reached a fever pitch, an unexpected change occurred in the outside world – perhaps because of something that affected it, the entire Alt Building suddenly fell into darkness, and all the lights instantly extinguished.
This sudden darkness not only caused the light to disappear, but also made the surrounding air more silent and depressing. The originally bustling crowd on the street also stopped because of this sudden change. Uneasiness and confusion were among the crowd. spread rapidly.
For Su Lingqing, this sudden darkness brought an unexpected turn of events. The power outage in the Alt Building seemed to temporarily interfere with the invasion of pre-civilized consciousness. She felt that the sharp and noisy sounds temporarily weakened. , giving her a short respite.
”You bastards, don’t even think about controlling me!”
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Su Lingqing quickly adjusted her breathing and thoughts. She knew that this might be her only chance to fight back or escape.
She gritted her teeth, took out the firearm, and shot hard into her thigh. The pain and tearing sensation stimulated her brain and made her more clear.
”Now, get everything out of my head!!”
With a roar, Su Lingqing slid weakly under the sofa, panting and enjoying this hard-won moment of peace.
”Huhuhu, as expected, these are not good things…”
She stood up unsteadily and opened the door.
”No, we have to tell Jonas about this matter quickly…”
Chapter 642: Go ahead and resolve this last matter
”So, you were attacked?”
Alt Consortium, Jonas’s office, he had just made a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Su Lingqing, along with some dessert cakes.
”Have something to eat and calm down. Dessert helps provide food for thought.”
Before discussing countermeasures, it would be better to let Su Lingqing calm down.
”You really can eat it. The food of the former civilization has been delivered to the doorstep. Just for a moment, the Alt Building was completely cut off. Fortunately, the power was cut off. I don’t know how it affected them. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t be able to leave. Lose!”
As if to vent her anger, Su Lingqing stabbed the placed cake with a fork, and finally finished the cake quickly under the look of Jonas asking him not to play with the food.
After doing all this, she stopped her movements and looked at Jonas calmly.
”Jonas, I almost died.”
”I know.”
”I almost never saw the world again.”
”I know.”
”I’m going to kill it.”
”I know.”
After saying these words, Su Lingqing closed her eyes and calmed down completely.
”Now we still have to mobilize the defense of the 25th district. It is impossible for that side to give up after failing once. It will definitely not continue to stick.”
Jonas stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the screen in front of him. The screen displayed the defense layout and real-time dynamics of the entire consortium. His eyes quickly jumped between various data and charts, calculating every possible occurrence. threats and countermeasures.
Esni is now in charge of the security department, so it’s better to go to Esni for these matters.
”Esni, activate all defense systems. These things must be running all the time. Use them as long as they can. Trouble may be coming recently.” Jonas’s voice was calm, echoing in the room, and his eyes There was no trace of hesitation in it.
This amount of money is definitely not something that can be saved. The other party may be targeting the entire 25th District. We have to contact Eucas later, but before that, we must first settle down in the Alt Building.
”Yes, I understand.”
Esni’s voice came over, and the staff around her moved quickly. Their fingers were tapping quickly on the keyboard, and instructions were entered into the system one by one.
The Alt Building’s defense system was quickly activated. From the underground to the building, numerous defense devices and monitoring equipment began to operate. The entire building seemed to have turned into a war fortress in an instant.
”Elevate all security protocols to the highest level. Any unauthorized entry is considered a hostile act. Business will be temporarily suspended and eliminated immediately.”
Jonas’s voice sounded again, and his eyes slowly moved over every change on the screen, as if he was counting his troops in detail.
Under his orders, every corner of the building was closely monitored, every passage was heavily guarded, and defense turrets and automatic targeting systems were deployed at key locations. Any suspicious targets trying to approach the building would be severely intercepted. .
”Yukas, there will be some trouble in District 25 recently. Please mobilize the security forces. I want them to be on standby 24 hours a day, ready to attack at any time.”
Youkas contacted Jonas through communication, and her voice was particularly clear in the commotion over there: “Jonas, what’s wrong? There’s sudden tension here, what happened?”
Jonas turned around and faced the communicator. He tried his best to keep his voice calm: “Youkas, we encountered some unexpected situations. Some threats are more serious than we expected. The federal side is directly attacking our people. I started and almost succeeded.”
”The Federation?” There was a hint of uncertainty in Youkas’s voice: “But before they…”
Jonas nodded. Even though Youkas couldn’t see his affirmative action, she could feel the affirmative answer from his tone: “Yes, but that was before. Su Lingqing encountered a direct Attack, this forces us to re-evaluate the threat to the federation, it may be a desperate fight, so we must be even more vigilant.”
Youkas was silent for a while, obviously digesting the sudden information: “So, what should we do now? Can I help?”
Jonas glanced at the command room and then returned to the communicator: “What you can do is to stay vigilant. I have mobilized all the defense resources of the consortium. At the same time, I am also considering whether to be more proactive so that We’re not just passive defense.”
”I understand, Jonas.” Youkas’s voice became firm: “No matter what you need me to do, I’m ready.”
Jonas smiled slightly, although the smile at this moment was a bit bitter: “Thank you, Yucas, keep in touch.”
”Have you mobilized all those who can be mobilized?”
”Absolutely, they should be targeting the entire twenty-fifth district. They are probably desperate. Seeing that I have reached a cooperation with Longcheng, I really can’t bear it anymore. I feel that if I don’t take action, it will be too late.”
While chatting with Su Lingqing, suddenly there was an explosion somewhere in the Alt Building.
In a luxurious room in the Alt Building, a deafening explosion suddenly occurred. The decoration and furniture in the room were blown to pieces in the explosion. Thick smoke and fire poured out from the room, and sirens sounded throughout the building. There was a rush.
”Why did there suddenly be an explosion? Wait, I remember this seems to be Celine’s room?”
After hearing the news of the explosion, Jonas and Su Lingqing rushed to the scene. They passed through the busy crowd and the rushing security personnel in the building and went straight to the room where the explosion occurred.
When they arrived at Celine’s room, they found that the scene had been blocked by the building’s security team, and thick smoke was still coming out of the room. Jonas frowned, wrapped himself in psychic energy, and rushed with Su Lingqing. Got in.
”Quickly, check Celine’s condition!” Jonas said eagerly to Su Lingqing beside him, his voice revealing deep concern.
They rushed into the smoking room and began to search for Celine’s whereabouts.
When Jonas and Su Lingqing entered the room, their eyes quickly searched the messy scene, and then they found Celine. She was leaning against the wall, panting, apparently when the explosion occurred Try to escape.
Celine’s face was pale, her clothes were stained by smoke and dust, and she had slight burn marks on her body. Her breathing was rapid, and she seemed to have experienced great fright and fatigue. Around her, the walls were covered with black marks left by the explosion. Traces of broken furniture and decorations littered the floor.
Jonas quickly walked to Celine and knelt down to check her condition. “Celine, are you okay? Are you injured?” His voice was full of concern.
Celine tried to calm her breathing and shook her head to indicate that she was okay. Her voice was slightly hoarse: “I…I’m fine. I was just shocked. The explosion happened so suddenly. I just escaped based on instinct.”
”The lights around me suddenly flickered. I was wondering when I suddenly heard some voices talking about powerful psychics. Then I saw something floating in the sky. My intuition told me that I had to take action immediately. There was no other way. That’s all.”
”Okay, I understand, my health is more important now.”
Jonas nodded in agreement. He helped Celine stand up: “We will find out. The most important thing now is to ensure your safety. Celine, I will send you to the medical center for a comprehensive examination.”
I originally thought that the former civilization consciousness should have withdrawn, so why did it attack Celine again?
Outside the medical center, Jonas stood in the corridor where Celine was sent to the treatment room. His brows were furrowed and he was deep in thought. Su Lingqing stood beside him quietly, observing his expression. , knowing that his mind was working rapidly.
”I originally thought that the pre-civilization consciousness had retreated,” Jonas murmured to himself, with confusion in his voice. “Why did it attack Celine again? There must be some purpose behind this that we haven’t understood yet. “
Su Lingqing nodded slightly, her eyes equally serious: “Yes, it seems that our previous understanding of pre-civilized consciousness was not deep enough.”
Jonas’s gaze became sharper: “If you take into account the technological level of pre-civilized consciousness, their goals may not be just simple attacks or destruction, but there may be deeper intentions.”
”This attack on Celine may not only be to harm her.” Su Lingqing added: “It may be to achieve some more important purpose through Celine.”
”I don’t know yet. I’m waiting here for Celine to come out after her examination. Please be careful and don’t leave the Alt Building.”
”Of course, I still value my own life.”
After instructing Queen Wan, Jonas closed his eyes and unconsciously felt sleepy.
When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived in the virtual realm.
There was silence all around, and even the air seemed to be frozen. There was no wind, no sound, as if time and space had lost their meaning here.
In the dark environment, the only light source seems to come from nothingness, not actual light, but some kind of indescribable and faint glow, as if it is a glimmer of light from another dimension. This light neither illuminates the space nor the surroundings. It doesn’t cast any shadow, giving it an unfathomable feeling.
Walking in the virtual world, it feels like floating in endless darkness. There is no direction, no reference, only boundless darkness and profound silence.
”Pre-civilization, coming, ascending, stop now, right now.”
”Xiao An?”
As Jonas was walking, Anis Erdoka suddenly appeared in front of him. His face looked a little tired, but he still felt the same as before.
”Xiao An, do you know why that consciousness suddenly attacked Su Lingqing and Celine?”
Originally, Jonas just asked casually, but Xiao An actually spoke.
”It is a creature in the 3.5 latitude between the virtual realm. It is now thinking about how to escape and achieve true ascension. Its method is to sacrifice all of you.”
Anis Erdoka spoke for a long time, seeming a little uncomfortable: “Facility, ancient, deep, the wisdom of pre-civilization, the bottom of the wilderness, coordinates.”
”Ascend, transcend all limits, touch unknown powers.”
Although what Xiao An said was a little unclear, Jonas understood what he meant, and when he combined it with what he had said before, he understood it completely.
In that distant era, pre-civilized people explored the mysteries beyond the material world. They used these facilities to try to elevate human consciousness and abilities to a whole new level. This ascension was not just a physical change, but also a physical change. It is a spiritual and soul transformation, a profound understanding and control of the nature of existence.
But something went wrong later, the ascension failed, and it became what it is now.
”The road to ascension is dangerous and mysterious. Not everyone can bear it.” Anis Erdoka’s voice contained a hint of worry: “Celine, Su Lingqing, unlock the key to ascension and sacrifice powerful psykers. , one, pre-civilization came.”
These facilities may still be buried in the wilderness today, and the key to unlocking ascension is a psyker with extremely powerful psychic abilities. Around Jonas, there are only two people who meet the conditions, Celine and Su Lingqing.
Jonas felt that if he said those words to them, they would probably be willing to sacrifice him.
But he wasn’t happy.
”Xiao An, this method doesn’t work. Besides sacrificing them, is there any other way?”
Jonas directly rejected the idea, and Anis Erdoka was silent for a while before speaking again.
”Jonas, the person of the life link, changes, transfers, Su Lingqing and Celine, the link transfers, to the conscious body, let it become a sacrifice.”
Jonas frowned, obviously this situation made him feel heavy: “Can this transfer be successful?”
”The theory is feasible. Transfer the link to the consciousness. When the time comes, it will become a sacrifice.”
”Are you trying to replace something with something else? I have no choice but to give it a try. Thank you, Xiao An.”
Jonas hugged Anis Erdoka, and suddenly, a familiar memory came again.
If the former civilization wants to ascend, it must sacrifice a huge civilization, and the Zerg is their first choice. A long time ago, a war broke out between the former civilization and the Zerg. The war lasted for a long time, and there was no way to solve it.
In this case, the former civilization used many despicable methods, and finally made the Zerg fall into the trap. At that moment, they started the sacrifice.
But how could it be that simple? The Zerg still had a back-up to resist the former civilization. After various unexpected circumstances occurred, the sacrifice of the former civilization failed, and it became the current form of consciousness, and in the virtual realm , only Anis Erdoka was left.
Jonas seemed to have seen such a scene before, but this time it was more abbreviated.
”Go, don’t let things happen again.”
Anis Erdoka patted Jonas and motioned for him to put him down.
Finally, she tried to stand on tiptoes, but gave up and could only pat Jonas on the arm, as if to encourage him, to solve the last problem.
”Jonas, go ahead.”
