Chapter 532: Don’t Attract Nice Guy Richard (2800 words)
Although the corporate meta spoke so lightly, Lin Lan immediately frowned after hearing what she said.
He was not worried about going to Huanyang City to fight the Sirens, but it would take at least three or four days to get from the artificial island to the singular point in Huanyang City, even if the White Eagle ship girls moved forward at full speed.
But is there still enough time left for him for three or four days?
But the company thought of another question and asked in a serious tone:
"What if we destroy the Inverse Storm Instrument and you still prepare to open the Singularity?"
Regarding this question, Enterprise Meta just replied with a cold tone:
"Do you have any other options now?"
Just as the company was gritting its teeth and irritated by the cold words of the Ember leader with the same name as her, Lin Lan gently patted her shoulder.
After feeling the strength from the commander's palm and showing her a worried look, Enterprise suddenly realized that she had become so irritable without even realizing it.
As an experienced warrior, she quickly discovered the reason.
Obviously, the black screen in front of her and the commander was composed of meta crystal particles, and it had gradually begun to affect her mind.
After Lin Lan saw that the company had calmed down, he felt relieved and said to the blurry outline on the black screen:
"Enterprise meta, I believe you would not do this, just as I believe that Enterprise is not a ship girl who will deceive others."
After speaking, he raised the most critical question:
"But since we are now so far away from the singularity, it may be difficult to reach its surroundings in a short time, so I want to know how long it will take before the singularity collapses out of control."
"..."
Corporate meta once again fell into silence, this time the silence lasted longer than before.
After almost a minute, the voice of the enterprise meta sounded again:
"There are still 27 hours until the singularity collapses. If you really want to believe me, prepare ten meta crystals."
"When these meta crystals are destroyed at the same time, I will lock your current coordinates outside the world and tear a world rift that lasts for ten hours between you and the singularity, allowing you to directly reach the surroundings of the singularity."
Lin Lan's eyes widened when he heard that the corporate meta actually had such exaggerated methods:
"Since you have the power to directly tear apart the cracks in the world, why do you still rely on singularities to come to this world?"
Yes, although he was very surprised that the other party had a way to solve this problem, it also felt a bit ridiculous for a moment.
Since this original ship girl is already powerful enough to tear apart space, why would she use dangerous means like singularity to come to this world again?
Wouldn't it be nice to just tear a rift in the world from outside the world and force a breakthrough?
"If it were an experimental world created by the Siren, I could indeed tear open the cracks in the world and enter directly, but not this world."
Although the corporate meta's tone was still cold, like a teacher, he explained in detail to Lin Lan and the company:
"The world you are in now is a large natural world with multiple dimensions. The world wall is not as easily destroyed as the experimental world created by Antix."
"And this world, through our observations from the outside world, is very likely to have been affected by..."
"Forget it, in short, we can only enter this world by relying on the singularity."
Although the corporate meta chose to skip some topics, under the current circumstances, these intentionally skipped topics were not important to Lin Lan.
Compared with this, he is now more concerned about the lineup of the Siren fleet around the singularity.
If the arbitration agency comes to several arbitrators at once, then even if the corporate meta opens a world rift for them, the White Eagle camp alone may not be able to defeat them.
But at this moment, there was a loud explosion in the communication channel on the corporate meta side, and even the outline of the Ember leader became much blurred.
Before he could ask more questions, the corporate meta suddenly sped up his speech and continued:
"Most of the arbitrators in the arbitration agency are currently intercepting us, and other arbitrators are currently under our surveillance. There is probably only one arbitrator around the singularity - Strenkus."
"But the concentration of meta energy around the singularity will be very high. As the commander, you must go there in person to ensure that 'them' who made the mental breakthrough because of you will not be affected by the meta energy."
"If the degree of meta-ification increases, it will attract good people..."
"Boom!"
The corporate meta seemed to want to give instructions, but there was a violent explosion over there.
Immediately, the screen composed of black particles turned into fly ash and dissipated.
The sudden explosion and communication interruption shocked both Lin Lan and the company.
After a while, Lin Lan sorted out the information currently obtained from the corporate meta, and whispered thoughtfully:
"The last person she wants to remind us should be the good Richard, right?"
"Good Richard? This name sounds so familiar... I think I heard people from the Northern Union and the Royal mention this name before."
The company heard Lin Lan mention this name and recalled it thoughtfully.
Lin Lan nodded, this Loli aircraft carrier girl named Good Richard was also a heavyweight.
She is neither a siren nor an ember, but she is a bit crazy, and she always wants to metamorphose the ship girl.
However, until he traveled through time, the game plot did not say what purpose the good guy Richard had. The only thing he knew was that that guy was most likely the first ship girl to fall into metamorphosis in the original world.
"We don't have to worry about good Richard for now. As long as I'm here, that crazy girl won't pose a threat to us."
Since the metamorphosis of a ship girl requires mentally experiencing extremely painful and desperate emotions, before he traveled through time, the good guy Richard's record in the game plot was zero.
Therefore, Lin Lan felt that instead of good Richard, the top priority was to solve the singularity in Huanyang City.
"Enterprise, please contact Sarah and New Jersey to gather at the Government Affairs Office. We only have 27 hours. We have to hold an emergency pre-war meeting to discuss countermeasures."
Although today is Christmas, this Christmas is destined not to be spent peacefully like in the past.
After the company contacted Saratoga and New Jersey about the situation, Lin Lan directly called the company for a self-driving car on the island.
Now the self-driving car on the artificial island has been connected to Ariel's control network, so Ariel also understood that the current situation was very urgent through Lin Lan's brief explanation in the car.
"No wonder Ariel has been unable to connect to Oran's network since yesterday. Ariel originally thought that Oran's network signal tower was undergoing large-scale maintenance."
The Rubik's Cube energy robot girl said to Lin Lan guiltily through the car stereo.
Lin Lan did not blame Ariel for this. After all, if the Siren silenced the entire Eastern Continent, there would be no solution even if Ariel knew about it.
"But teacher, Ariel noticed through the surveillance camera last night that a large amount of dark blue light flashed in the artificial lake on the island."
"A naked, strange human woman walked out of the lake this morning. She is still by the lake and has not made any move. Does the teacher know her?"
The sudden news from Ariel made Lin Lan and the company stunned in their seats.
"A naked woman came out of the lake?"
After a brief moment of astonishment, Lin Lan immediately realized who this was.
"Dailan?"
He and the company said the name almost at the same time.
That's right, the person who can cause such a change in the artificial lake and walk from the lake to the shore in human form can only have one identity.
That is the Leviathan Dailan that was picked up by Big Mackerel and the others before and given a name and form using contract magic!
If it weren't for Ariel, he would have completely forgotten about it.
Lin Lan remembered that before he set off, he asked the company to tell the mackerel and the others to get dozens of mental cubes from Little Gaga to speed up Dailan's transformation.
Unexpectedly, at this juncture, Dailan successfully completed her transformation.
But what confused him very much was why the other party kept waiting there after walking ashore.
He soon thought of the reason. It seemed that the Leviathan had not adapted well to the human body.
Under normal circumstances, he would have planned to pick up Dai Lan in person, but now it was obvious that he did not have the spare time.
So he said to Ariel, who was communicating with him through the car stereo:
"Ariel, please control a sub-individual to go to the artificial lake and bring this Levi...named Dai Lan to the Government Affairs Office on the artificial island mountain. Just say that you were sent by her master Lin Lan. Just be the messenger.”
After Lin Lan finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, coughed twice and then told Ariel:
"Remember to bring a whole set of clothes to help her put on. I'm afraid she's not used to the human body yet and can't wear clothes. You need to teach her more after you see her."
