Chapter 177 Cloud Feather 36
Gong Ziyu watched as the white light grew larger and more numerous, eventually 'jumping' out. The scattered points of light gathered like stars, gradually coalescing into a human-shaped outline, blurry in appearance, with facial features and limbs still vaguely discernible.
"Ding dong!"
A clear and melodious sound rang out, breaking the silence in the cell.
Then, a completely emotionless voice came from the white light:
"Powerful soul fluctuations detected. System No. 999 is now officially activated."
"The system is loading, please wait..."
As Gong Ziyu looked at the figure formed by the white light, he felt terror for the first time.
What exactly is this thing?
Why would a piece of iron suddenly light up?
And how did this light suddenly appear?
And why can these lights converge into a human shape? And even speak?
Gong Ziyu didn't know what would happen after this thing was loaded, and he didn't dare to try it easily, so he quickly withdrew his mental power.
The white light, no longer touched by telekinesis, seemed to have lost some kind of power, flickering erratically, and its sound became somewhat harsh and intermittent.
"System loading...failed, re-checking..."
"Soul fluctuations have disappeared, system loading failed, System 999 is shutting down again..."
As the sound disappeared, the white light vanished instantly, and the 'strange man' returned to being a cold, hard lump of iron.
Gong Ziyu stood there dumbfounded, staring blankly at the 'strange person' who had returned to normal, unable to utter a coherent word for a long time.
"It glows... turns into a person... speaks... I... wait? No... it... um?????????"
In just a few short moments, the shock he experienced was immense, almost shattering his worldview.
Outside the cell, the three elders noticed the commotion inside. They were immediately alarmed and exclaimed in surprise:
"Oh no! The superhuman is alive again!"
"Bring out the blade immediately!"
"Knock them out! Knock them out! Knock them out first!"
Gong Ziyu snapped out of his daze and was about to refuse when a figure darted behind him and delivered a swift chop to the neck, knocking Gong Ziyu unconscious instantly.
……
When Gong Ziyu opened her eyes again, she found herself back in the Feather Palace, lying on her familiar bed. Soft sunlight streamed in through the window, adding a touch of tranquility to the room.
He tried to sit up, but a slight dizziness came over his head, and his neck ached. He couldn't help but gasp.
Perhaps hearing the commotion inside, the door was gently pushed open, and the three elders filed in. Jin Fan, who was behind them, also wanted to come in, but Elder Xue kept him outside and could only stand anxiously at the door.
Although the three elders were filled with worry, they still carefully examined Gong Ziyu before cautiously asking, "Zhi Ren, how are you feeling now?"
The moment Gong Ziyu's gaze met that of the three elders, his dead memories were instantly awakened.
The image of the 'otherworldly being' made of white light uncontrollably resurfaced in my mind, its blurry yet distinct humanoid outline, and the mechanical voice that followed...
To be honest, having lived through so many worlds and for at least two or three hundred years, this was the first time he had ever seen such a 'magical' scene. He was deeply shocked, but he was used to hiding his emotions in front of others.
He casually raised his hand to rub his temples, forcibly suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and said in a calm tone, "I'm fine!"
Seeing that Gong Ziyu looked somewhat tired but showed no other abnormalities, the three elders breathed a sigh of relief. They couldn't help but begin to lecture him: "Zhi Ren, I know you are young and impetuous, unwilling to spend your life confined to the palace gates, and want to completely eliminate the aliens. But as you have seen now, the aliens' methods are bizarre. We can't even touch them now, so how can we talk about eradicating them?"
"Moreover, the methods we can think of, our ancestors could also think of. They tried all of these methods, such as chopping with a knife, chiseling with an axe, burning with fire, drowning with water, and using poison, but all of them ended in failure."
"..."
The three elders took turns lecturing him, and Gong Ziyu listened patiently until they finished. He nodded and said humbly, "Yes, yes, yes! The three elders are right. From now on, Ziyu will definitely be dutiful and will no longer act willfully."
Upon hearing Gong Ziyu's promise, the three elders nodded in satisfaction and turned back to the Elders' Council.
"Jin Fan, I feel a bit dizzy. Go to Zheng Gong and get me some medicine to refresh my mind," Gong Ziyu said wearily.
When Jin Fan heard that he was not feeling well, he immediately became nervous and, without thinking much, turned around and went to the Zheng Palace.
After Jin Fan left, Gong Ziyu did not rest. Instead, he got up, changed into some light clothes, and went straight to the back mountain, returning to the cell where the strange people were imprisoned.
He wanted to see what this strange person was all about!
Through the iron gate, Gong Ziyu carefully observed the metal object in the center of the room. It was just like an ornament, standing there quietly, like an exquisite work of art, showing no signs of life at all.
After observing carefully for a while and confirming that the metal object was not moving, Gong Ziyu decided to take further action. He carefully released his mental power, trying to establish a connection with the metal object.
The moment the telekinetic energy touched it, the previous scene repeated itself: the metal object emitted a faint light again, which then grew stronger and stronger, eventually coalescing into a human-shaped silhouette.
Then, the emotionless voice sounded again: "Ding! Powerful soul fluctuation detected. System No. 999 is officially activated."
"The system is loading, please wait..."
Just as it was about to finish loading, Gong Ziyu decisively withdrew her mental power.
Almost instantly, the sound stopped abruptly, and the surrounding white light dissipated, returning everything to calm as if it had all been an illusion.
Gong Ziyu carefully recalled everything that had just happened, and then repeated the experiment several times to confirm that all the strange phenomena would stop after she withdrew her mental power. She breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Having figured this out, he slowly released his mental energy again, but this time he didn't withdraw it midway; instead, he quietly waited for its final transformation.
"Ding dong!"
"Powerful soul fluctuations detected. System No. 999 is now officially activated."
"The system is loading, please wait..."
“系统已加载10%、20%、50%、90%、100%……”
"System loading complete!"
As the loading was complete, the humanoid silhouette formed by the gathering white light became more three-dimensional, and the facial features gradually became clearer, especially the eyes, which seemed to suddenly have a focus.
The originally emotionless, cold voice seemed to be imbued with a new emotion at this moment: "Dear user, hello! I am Intelligent System No. 999, it is a great honor to meet you."
