The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 260: wrong focus

"That's not infinite energy that can realize any dream at all, that's the source of all nightmares..."

"Why do you say that?"

He coughed a few times—the mist of elixir had taken effect, and Tesler's cough was no longer as tingling as before.

He continued: "The problem lies with me - I have always been obsessed with technology, but have forgotten to look into the root of the phenomenon.

"I was fascinated by the properties exhibited by the hypercube, but forgot to seek guidance and advice from the ancient wisdom of mankind.

"After using volcanic energy as a springboard, the Hypercube was successfully developed, and the Ocean City project was completely completed.

"I just found out that I was being used by someone."

Tesler shook his head: "That thing is not infinite energy at all.

"It's a palace of an evil god, a kingdom ruled by some ancient times!

"The energy it emits is simply a lure to lure ignorant humans!

"Its real name appears in many ancient books that I have never noticed before...

"That's not a 'Hypercube' at all... Its real name is - 'Laleye'."

Laleigh?

Sean froze, his lower jaw slackened, leaving his mouth slightly open.

In the room, apart from the sound of Tesler's slight wound healing, he could only hear his own heartbeat.

Laleigh?

The Lord of Dreams with divine power, the kingdom of Kluwitan?

"You... people in the exploration world should know more about it." Tesler turned his wrist, "I won't introduce it further."

"You mean, the super-dimensional thing located in the ocean trench that was developed as the core energy source of Ocean City..." In order to ensure that what he heard was true, Sean rarely slowed down his thinking speed, "It was Kluvitan. The kingdom of God, Lalaiye?"

Tesler nodded: "I only found out later."

The **** feather of the red-haired scar-faced girl, the existence crouching in the distance in Vivian's necklace, the mastermind behind the modern gods who control the United Church, the goal that Judas Ring wants to achieve...

All events are chaotically intertwined, and all point to Ocean City.

Sean's eyes kept falling on the wrong focus.

"The key point is not Ocean City..." Sean's eyes stared straight at the blank space, "The key point is the energy used by Ocean City, that thing ignored by everyone... That's Kluvitan's palace!"

"After learning this information," Tesler said with a wry smile on his face, "My reaction is the same as yours."

So why did they collect children with artistic talents, and why did they kidnap Aaliyah? !

Sean pondered the words and asked the question that he always wanted to understand during this trip: "There is an organization, in Ocean City, that seems to be planning to do something to the existence in Lalaiye, do you know the specific situation? "

Tesler sighed: "I'm sorry, I've been neglecting to pay attention to what's going on in the city, so I let Verne go and let the United Church grow bigger...

"So, I don't know what you're asking about...

"However, I know that some people do want to use Lalaiye to achieve something; in addition, the somewhat morbid beliefs of the United Church have also made the residents of Ocean City increasingly crazy...

"For these two reasons, I found Verne and had a conversation with him."

Tesler's injuries have mostly healed. The abscesses on the wounds have disappeared and are slowly healing. His condition looks much better.

"I realize that things are developing in an uncontrollable direction, and if it continues, terrible things are likely to happen in Ocean City.

"I want to deactivate Lalaye as Ocean City's energy source; if this is not possible, I decide to shut down Ocean City——

"I don't want to be one of the founders of the biggest tragedy of the twentieth century...

"After talking to that guy, I imagined that Verne might get angry, get mad, and have more than one fight with me..." He shrugged, "But I never imagined that he would actually pull together with me. Billings, trying to kill me."

In the black eyes, anger was burning, Tesler said here, his chest heaving, obviously furious.

"Once people are crazy, they will act beyond common sense." Although he sympathizes with Tesler's experience, Sean is gratified that at least the legendary Nikola Tesler is not crazy, and he and his colleagues I am on one side...

After the wound was healed, Tesler stood up in surprise and turned around, feeling the state of his body.

"That's why..." He shook his head, "Although I believe in science and reason, I still can't help but want to use the mysterious power.

"This kind of power is really powerful."

Thinking of Lalaiye, he still frowned: "The risk of using mystery is that, first, humans can only use it, but cannot fully grasp it - it is not necessarily controllable;

"Secondly, behind the magical effect, there is likely to be a surprising price lurking.

"Believe me," Tesler emphasized, "that price may be difficult for all of us to pay..."

Although he has plunged into the mystery, Sean has to agree with Tesler's statement.

Perhaps, the mysterious power of convenience, like the touchstone, passed the price on?

Nobody knows.

Just imagine, a world without mysteries?

There are not so many magical effects, but there is a more free and stable environment.

It's like losing the ability to dream, but also getting rid of terrible nightmares.

"If there is still a chance for research and invention," Tesler said, "I won't get involved in the mystery anymore,

"Including precision alchemy technology."

Seeing that Tesler had fully recovered, Sean said, "If there is nothing else, I suggest that we work together to find a way to escape from here."

"Escape?" Tesler raised his eyes, his eyes a little dull.

He dug out a piece of parchment from a pile of junk. The front side of the parchment had some Apennine writing on it, and he filled in with charcoal on the blank back side.

It was a circle with complicated passages in it.

Map of Labyrinth Island.

"This is the map that I spent three months drawing..." His fingers rubbed along the periphery of the arc, "There is no exit at all.

"Furthermore," the constant attempts and constant failures have stained Tesler's heart with despair, "Do you know where we are? In what space? Or in the kingdom of the evil god?

"We may not be on Earth at all!

"How to escape?"

Sean pointed to the circle in the middle of the map, like a pupil: "This is the heart of Labyrinth Island?"

"Where do you want to go?" He suddenly straightened up in the mud where he was packing up the sundries~lightnovelpub.net~ I advise you not to go near there...

"There's a monster with a bull's head there," Muddy waved his arms, "it's huge.

"He's the scavenger in this labyrinth, I've seen it once...

"It crushed dozens of giants."

Minotaur? Sean remembered what the ghost Mel said.

"If you want to escape, there must be huge risks." Sean said, pointing to the location of the heart of the labyrinth island, "However, I have received reliable information that there is an observatory there, we may be able to Get out of there."

Tesler sat, still looking like he didn't want to believe it.

Sean continued: "I won't stay here no matter what - I'm going back to trouble Rabilins and Verne."

Hearing Verne's name, Tesler's breathing quickened again.

The thin black-haired man looked at the mouse bones on the ground, and shrugged his nose in disgust: "Fuck! I want Verne to pay the price!

"It doesn't matter if I die on the way to escape," he raised his eyes, and finally there was a light in his dark eyes, "I don't want to live here again eating mice like this!"
