The Witch's Speculation
Chapter 1568 The Witch's Speculation
After sending Iris to find Lin Mingmei, who was taking Nadeshiko and the others to play on the main island of the fleet, He Ming returned to the bridge of the Kongo alone.
Taking this opportunity, He Ming handed the CD that D-BOY had given him to King Kong, asking King Kong to analyze its contents.
This was originally Adino's job.
However, Adino is currently in charge of commanding the Shadow Shaman unmanned reconnaissance force to launch attacks and collect intelligence between Saturn and Jupiter, and has no spare computing power to attend to other matters.
The moment King Kong reached out and took the disc, it was already almost completely analyzed.
"Admiral, this is a message from the Witch. It's not data from the device that directly contacts the fortress."
"Yes. That's what I think too. Let's release them!"
"understand!"
With the CD in his left hand and his right hand waving, images from the witch appeared before He Ming's eyes.
"Looks like you've already gotten what I asked you to bring to that poor amnesiac little guy."
"So, He Ming, you've also joined up with the Nadeshiko."
"This also proves some of my speculations."
"He Ming, the universe you are in now is not a hodgepodge universe that the Ghost Faces arbitrarily piled up using some technology. Rather, it may have been intentionally created."
"Think back, He Ming. After entering that universe, what you saw, the people you met, and the information you collected—were they strongly related to everything you had experienced before?"
"I speculate that in that deliberately hidden solar system, there should be things you are familiar with, people, and even forces and nations established under your influence."
Upon hearing what the witch Mei said, He Ming couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes.
In fact, just as the witch Mei had predicted, after entering the solar system, what He Ming saw, heard, and collected was almost exactly the same as what the witch Mei had predicted.
"I imagine you're quite surprised right now. Aren't you?"
The witch in the picture seemed to have foreseen this, revealing a smug smile.
"There's no doubt about it. I can't go to the universe you're in now. I only came to this conclusion after analyzing and speculating on the clues related to the Ghostfaces that the fortress has collected, as well as some of the missions you've experienced in the past."
As she spoke, the witch's expression gradually became serious.
“He Ming. Listen carefully! This is the Ghost Face Clan’s open conspiracy. They have cut off the worlds they have been involved in or influenced by in some way, and then mixed all the fragments of these worlds together to build this universe.”
After a pause, Mei thought for a moment and then used a metaphor.
"According to Veros, these world fragments are like bugs in a system, which can be fixed at any time. But the Ghost Faces cut up all these bugs, collected them, and piled them up to create such a huge world. They probably want to use these bugs to achieve some purpose."
"BUG?"
He Ming and Jin Gang exchanged glances.
This analogy seems a bit creepy.
"If the number of bugs reaches a certain limit, the system will crash on the spot, and it may even..."
King Kong said softly, “I understand. So, the Ghost Faces not only collected these bugs, but will also detonate them at some point in the future, destroying this universe?”
He Ming stroked his chin, deep in thought.
Unfortunately, what he saw in front of him was only a pre-recorded video from the witch, and he could not communicate with the witch in real time.
While He Ming was talking to King Kong, the witch seemed to have foreseen this scene during the recording. After remaining silent for a long time, she spoke again.
"The above is my speculation based on the information I have gathered so far. To be honest, it probably won't be of much help to you. Veros hasn't yet completed the connection calculation with the World Tree. Reinforcements from the fortress may be delayed."
"But don't be nervous! If my previous speculation is correct, then you will still be able to receive support from us after the Nadeshiko. He Ming, although this is not good news, your companions may also be one of the bugs collected by the Ghost Faces."
"Therefore, in the event of another potential space tremor, your companions may still be able to reach your solar system. At that time, support will also arrive."
This is the last message the witch left on the CD.
While it's not exactly good news, it does reveal some truths about the universe to some extent.
He Ming carefully recalled what the witch had said earlier.
"King Kong. If you possessed so many bugs, and had the ability to detonate them, causing a system to crash, what would you want to do?"
Upon hearing He Ming's words, Jin Gang pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"I don't know. In a sense, I am also a kind of electronic life form. Collecting bugs, detonating them, and destroying the system is undoubtedly suicide from the perspective of an electronic life form!"
"is it?"
He nodded.
From King Kong's perspective, this is indeed the conclusion.
After pondering for a moment, He Ming shook his head, banishing the jumbled thoughts from his mind.
"Fine! Since the Ghost Faces are collecting bugs, then let's fix those bugs! Although we still don't know why the Ghost Faces are collecting these bugs?"
"But once these bugs are fixed, the Ghost Faces probably won't be able to detonate it!"
The moment He Ming made this decision, his mind became clear.
No matter what conspiracy the Ghost Faces are plotting, its root lies in those world fragments. With He Ming's knowledge of these world fragments and his familiarity with the life experiences of those classic characters, he is believed to be able to find the truth hidden behind them.
Isn't that exactly what Goddard is doing during his training?
With He Ming's knowledge and Elise's racial talents, they successfully rescued Goddard from Radam's control and restored his human will.
He Ming took a slow, deep breath and looked at the star map on the main screen in front of him.
Since ancient times, Jupiter, which has been regarded as a god by mankind, is located on it.
Behind them, several Shadowfiend drone reconnaissance teams, utilizing the one-time FLOD jump devices provided by the fleet, arrived at the target space and quickly began their reconnaissance missions.
"Let's make Tekkaman our first target for verifying the bug!"
