Chapter 501
After Wu Pifu talked to this machine lifeform that claimed to be human, he didn't stay or return, but searched according to the resistance camp location given by A1 and others, but his speed slowed down slightly.
"Beelzebub, do you think what it said is true?" Wu Pifu asked.
Beelzebub lay on Wu Pifu's waist, thinking and saying: "It's not clear yet, because the effective information and effective evidence are not enough. But at least there is one more investigation direction... Besides the Moon, we actually have one more investigation direction."
"...Pure and flawless place? Right?" Wu Pifu said.
Beelzebub said: "Right, there are currently two key areas. The first is the Moon, where the android headquarters and the Human Council are located. If there are original androids, they are estimated to be there. There is another one, which is the pure and flawless place. These two places are where you can peek at the truth of this world, and if you want to find traces of that real civilization, these two places are also the most likely to appear clues, or directly find them."
Wu Pifu nodded, looked at a hidden village that had appeared in front, stepped through the air, and landed in the center of the village.
The whole village was silent. Neither human voices nor any human figures could be seen. Similarly, buildings collapsed, there were traces of fighting everywhere, and even the central network node in the camp was destroyed, but no android corpses or metal lifeform remains could be seen. The entire battlefield, except for traces of fighting, the two sides of the battle had strangely disappeared.
Wu Pifu stood on the spot and stared at the surroundings for a long time. His martial arts intuition was stimulated to the extreme. A certain feeling in the dark seemed to appear. Although he didn't see the real object, a large number of figures seemed to appear in his field of vision. Their faces were unclear, only shadows existed. They held weapons and kept shooting, and also attempted to break out of the camp...
Wu Pifu slowly followed these figures to walk around the camp, occasionally squatting down to touch the single holes on the ground, or lifting a piece of collapsed building to find weapons pressed underneath.
In this process, only black shadows representing androids existed in Wu Pifu's perception. On the other side, it was emptiness. There were no figures. It was as if the androids were fighting with the air. And judging from the size of the targets shot by their weapons, it was not the monster body of the machine lifeform, but more like some kind of life of the same size as them...
Wu Pifu walked around the camp. In his perception, the androids fighting with the unknown target could not walk out of the camp at all. They were clearly rushing to the camp exit, but when they came to the camp exit, they would go around by themselves and return to the camp. And at the edge of the camp, Wu Pifu found many footsteps of emergency stops and going around in a circle.
Next, Wu Pifu told Beelzebub about the situation he perceived and investigated. Beelzebub pondered for a while and said: "What about the ending? What about the corpses and remains of the androids you saw falling?"
Wu Pifu shook his head and said: "I don't know either, because after they fell, their corpses and remains disappeared in an instant, and then I could no longer feel the traces of their existence. I don't know if I can only sense the figures of activity and fighting, or..."
"Did something swallow them in an instant?"
Beelzebub murmured: "There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that they were affected by some kind of electronic program. Although they looked like humans, in essence, they were still androids, robots. All their thinking and behavior were based on electronic programs simulating humans. If there is a signal that can directly affect their electronic programs, then their strange behavior can be explained. For example, attacking empty space, and feeling as if they were attacked, all of this is an illusion projected by electronic signals."
"However... the disappearance of the corpses and remains cannot be explained."
Beelzebub paused and said: "The mastermind of the first possibility is the Android Unified Information Processing Hub. That thing doesn't want you to contact them, nor does it want you to go to the Moon. And this thing might be the biggest mastermind in this world."
"Then there is the second possibility... evil spirits!"
"Evil spirits?" Wu Pifu repeated the word.
Beelzebub said affirmatively: "Right, evil spirits... Didn't the machine lifeform that claimed to be human mention it earlier? The result of the White Salt Plague, the flesh turns into salt pillars, the soul is manifested, and over time, the soul will be polluted by stray information around it, thus turning into monsters, evil spirits, curses, grudges, etc. And even in a pure and flawless place, the soul stripped from the body will also be polluted very slowly. Only a very small number of souls can be spared, and most souls have become this kind of thing. Even the aliens were exterminated because they opened the pure and flawless place."
Wu Pifu asked uncomprehendingly: "But didn't that machine lifeform say? Evil spirits, monsters, and these things have long since disappeared in the long river of time. For more than 5,000 years, these things have disappeared."
Beelzebub said: "No, compared to the material androids and machine lifeforms, things that come from soul corruption and deformity can last forever, and even approach immortality. Unless they are eliminated, they almost cannot disappear with time... So I think, if it is the second possibility, then those evil spirit curses that eliminated the aliens did not disappear, but fell into a dormant state because there was no target. Until now, the target reappears, and they are reactivated."
Wu Pifu was a bit stunned, and he said: "What target?"
"You!"
Beelzebub said: "In the past 5,000 years in this world, there has been only one change, and that is that the whole world has intelligent life again... You know, since humanity perished, when the aliens opened the sealed place, this world actually did not exist any real intelligent life. Whether it is the androids imitating humans or the high-level special machine lifeforms that think they are humans, they are not real intelligent life. Their behavior is just imitation through high-level artificial intelligence. And from that time on, in 5,000 years, only one human, you, has been added!"
Wu Pifu went to several other resistance camps next. Sure enough, they were all attacked, the camp was damaged, and the central network node was destroyed, but no corpses or remains of the two sides of the battle were found. All androids disappeared into thin air.
Next, Wu Pifu naturally stopped searching and returned to the abandoned camp of A1 and other androids at the fastest speed. After seeing that they were safe and sound, Wu Pifu breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, naturally, Wu Pifu told A1 and others about the situation in the surrounding area, and they all agreed that the machine lifeforms knew of Wu Pifu's existence, so they began to gather strength to besiege him.
Because machine lifeforms fear Wu Pifu's ordinary human strength, they first wiped out all channels for Wu Pifu to contact the android headquarters. This is a sign of a large-scale attack by machine lifeforms. They must have surrounded the area, and they will launch a decisive battle-style attack on Wu Pifu as soon as the chaotic electromagnetic radiation wave passes.
A1 said excitedly: "Lord, I request you to leave this area immediately. With your speed, you can quickly break out of the encirclement. As long as you go to the resistance camp on a more distant continent, you will definitely be able to contact the headquarters, and only by going to outer space will your safety be guaranteed!"
Except for A1, the other Wakaba Unit members, including the leader of this resistance, the red-haired mature woman, also made the same suggestion.
But Wu Pifu shook his head and said: "No rush. I want to ask, do you know where the aliens landed when they descended on Earth?"
The many androids looked at each other. They didn't know what Wu Pifu was asking this for, but as the obedience to humans and service to humans constructed in their underlying programs, they still said the information they knew without hesitation.
At that time, the alien landing point was in an island area in the Pacific Ocean, and the initial machine lifeforms were marine mechanical structures. After thousands of years of evolution, they became what they are now.
Next, several people from the Wakaba Unit simply described the locations of the continents and islands on Earth with walls and charcoal. They are currently in the South American continent area, while the island area where the aliens landed is in the southern Pacific Ocean, not far from South America. It is in the southern hemisphere of the Earth.
"...Easter Island?"
Wu Pifu confirmed the location of the alien landing on Earth in surprise, and there was an island in this location. Perhaps he was not familiar with other islands, but he happened to know and remember this island.
An island with a mysterious color, covered with giant stone statues. And the reason Wu Pifu knew and remembered it was because of the many games, animations, novels, etc. born because of its mysterious characteristics. He had carefully checked the location and various situations of this island at that time.
Unexpectedly, the alien landing point was Easter Island?
Wu Pifu pondered for a long time and said: "Besides the central network node, do we have any other way to contact the android headquarters quickly?"
The seven Wakaba Unit members and the several resistance androids listening on the side all began to think seriously. But after a long time, they all began to shake their heads one by one.
If there was no chaotic electromagnetic wave, besides the central network node, members of the Wakaba Unit could even contact the general command department individually, and there were many other ways to contact. But because of this electromagnetic wave interference, now, except for the central network node, all other contact methods are useless.
"Then..."
Wu Pifu looked at the map and thought for a while: "We don't look for resistance camps anymore. From tomorrow, we will move forward at full speed, go to the seaside, and then find a way to go to this Easter Island..."
"That place... is estimated to be the pure and flawless place!"
