[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 675 The Past Administrator

After being a demon for so long, it was also the first time Frey jumped down from the crater.After all, there is no place to go down here.There are things even demons can't do, such as in this world, most of the time they can't 'go anywhere' unless they are summoned.

Just like this time, Frey can only rely on walking to go to the crater.Therefore, he was ridiculed by Matthew for a long time.That guy has been extremely sensitive to demons and magic from the beginning.Frey avoided discussing these matters with him as much as possible.But this time he went even further... and gave himself a camera.

"Take a picture of what you see."

Matthew said so.Frey felt that if he retorted: "Aren't you making a detector?!" Then Matthew didn't know what weird things would happen.So he accepted.He carried his honest chalk camera to the crater.In the final analysis, can this camera really last until the end... If this question is mentioned, Matthew will probably let himself draw it.

The crater is still very hot. Although the magma is no longer visible, the heat can still be felt and smoke is coming out.The anger of the earth did not cool down so quickly.

Frey didn't sense that there was anything 'living' here worth mentioning.There seem to be some living microbes that can survive in volcanic vents, but they don't fall into the category of 'worth mentioning'.Frey can only try to go down, he doesn't know what's below, and he can't teleport for a long distance, but he can immediately return to where Youxiang is -

This means that as long as Youxiang is safe, he is safe.That's nothing to be afraid of.

Um?Just a little further down, Frey found something strange. Under the cooled magma, there seemed to be... Is this a metal plate?Why are there metal plates?Although it is slightly distorted, it can be seen that the material should not be ordinary steel, otherwise it will be melted by magma.

Below this is empty.Frey stepped on the metal plate. Although he couldn't move instantly, he could still travel through the medium.Just turn into a ghost state.Frey just passed through the 'ground' below.There is a large man-made space below. Because of the volcano, part of it is filled with cooled magma, but a large part is still preserved.

Let the volcano appear here to cover up a huge space deep underground.Frey took a rough look, and it was undoubtedly a man-made product.The entire space is covered by a metal plate of unknown composition, which can even insulate the heat of the magma to keep the space cool and undamaged.

Inside the space, there are all man-made machines, without display screens, and the rectangular boxes erected one by one seem to be called servers... These servers are still electronically lit, that is to say, are they still operating?Some lines can also be seen on the floor connecting everywhere, and the space inside can't even be seen at a glance.

Frey didn't know much about these either, this really should be Matthew's domain.He tried taking a few pictures with the camera.Based on his words alone, there should be no way to know what this place is, but what is certain is...

The previous civilizations on this planet must not have been able to create such a space.Who actually did this?And why is it built here?What is the Dragon Cult afraid of?There are simply too many problems.

Frey hopes to find some written records, but as mentioned earlier, there is no display screen here, and there is almost nothing to be seen in the endless underground space except for neatly arranged servers.Frey could only go back to the place that looked like the entrance at the beginning. Although more than half of it was filled with cooled magma, there was still a door left for the time being.

There is something like a crystal plate inlaid on this automatic door, and words are engraved on it... No, not so much words, it may be symbols or signs.In short, Frey couldn't understand, and he couldn't do anything about man-made things.In short, it is better to take a picture of this. This should be the only thing that can tell what this area is like, right?

These should be enough.As long as you give it to Matthew, he should be able to guess some clues, right?Leave the rest to his detectors.The task is almost over, and I have to drink a cup of iced grapefruit tea when I go back——

Matthew has always felt that it is inconceivable that the devil can be easily driven by food, but it is not important for Frey who is enjoying the supplies just sent by Mr. Mansfield.The important thing is...

"What is this..." Incredible!What the hell is this underground!Matthew looked at the photo that Frey brought back. Unlike other people who were confused, he seemed to know what it was, but he was simply surprised, "Is this true, Mr. Frey??"

"I can't lie." This grapefruit tea is not cold enough.Frey reluctantly accepted this 'sacrifice'. He said, "There is a huge space under the volcano, and it is definitely man-made. This has nothing to do with the Dragon Cult, that is, the old gods. Because the old gods cannot create 'Artifacts'."

"That's weird, isn't it?!"

"That's right. Although I'm not an expert... but this planet probably doesn't have the ability to create this kind of thing, right?"

"Ah." No more than a pacifist.Even the White Knight is outrageous.So what the hell is this... Council allowing something of this magnitude to exist?Isn't this a violation of the Smart Civilization Management Law? ?No, if someone really came to build these on purpose, it must have violated the regulations and would have been dealt with by the parliament long ago.

Yet this thing has apparently been around for a long time, and there's only one reason why Parliament has sat on it: it's legal.There was only one possibility left... an accident.There are one or more people who came to this planet by accident and brought this technology to make this product, just like the war refugees who brought Isaac.

If they can smoothly integrate into the civilization here without causing an improvement in the overall level of civilization, it is not considered illegal.Parliament will not interfere.After all, the principle of parliament is not to interfere with the natural development of any civilization.

So what is it that is so huge that it doesn't count as 'huge impact'?Matthew looked at the photos, these servers are... used for processing and storing data.There are so many, how much data is stored?What data?this--

"This is..." Matthew quickly saw the symbol carved on the crystal plate on the door, "Is this written at the entrance, Mr. Frey?"

"Ah. But I don't understand it. It doesn't seem to be words... or languages?"

"It is not considered a type of writing. Human beings clearly know that the possibility of the writing they are currently using is extremely low to survive forever, so for extremely important or extremely dangerous things that cannot be properly transferred or disposed of, they will use a It’s easier to express a message with something that conveys an important message.”

Matthew explained, saying, "It's a semiotic ... a method of recording that Earth uses. It's often used in nuclear waste disposal areas."

"Oh no?Frey still knew the word.He said, "Aren't the humans here dangerous??"

"No... I haven't detected nuclear radiation." If there is really such a huge nuclear waste disposal area underground, it is impossible for him not to know.And throwing nuclear waste on other habitable planets is definitely not something that can be tolerated by the parliament.No, not nuclear waste... only deciphered symbolic content.

Matthew began to search his own database, thinking that he would never use the detailed content about the earth again, but he did not expect that this locked area could be opened one day.Search for all Earth data, important information recorded using symbology, content that must last forever, in addition to warnings about dangerous radiation, and...

"This is impossible……"

Impossible, this is... This is the earth at that time...

Matthew fell into a state similar to a crash, and he was caught in a memory from a long time ago.It was a heroic and tragic battle about human beings and their homeland, and the final battle ended in an incalculable defeat.Its influence will forever be engraved in human memory as an indelible scar.

His emotional module is flickering intensely somewhere, and if you could see his internal systems, you'd be able to see that little module flickering like a Christmas tree.This made Matthew almost stop all other movements, and it was difficult to think.

"Matthew?"

"!!"

Youxiang's voice brought Matthew back to his senses immediately, and he quickly turned off the emotional module to prevent it from hindering his thinking.But it also made his voice a little stiffer: "It's a machine," he said, "a machine like me."

"Same as Matthew...?" What's that called?What Matthew kept saying... Youxiang said, "Is it artificial intelligence?"

"That's right. She is an artificial intelligence. The huge underground space is actually her body. All of them are all her." Matthew explained, he picked up the photo of the crystal plate, " It says her origin, and I found the data on this record. There was a ship in the human fleet evacuated from Earth before the Earth Defense War started about 20 years ago."

It is full of the crystallization of all the wisdom of the earth's civilization, all the sorrow and great history.All these data are everything about the earth, and it is the whole process of human beings evolving step by step on the earth, from the sea to the land, then flying into the sky, and exploring the universe.All those great or humble pasts, all, all on that ship.

"Data storage and processing, overall record planning unit - 'Eve', Earth Archives." This is her name.Matthew said in a lifeless voice, "During the process of evacuating the Earth, the fleet was ambushed and intercepted by the enemy. She was separated from the fleet, lost control, and completely lost contact in the Arcturus galaxy."

"Matthew... I don't quite understand..." Eve... Is it the name of this underground person like Matthew?Youxiang said, "Is she... the person in charge of recording?"

"To describe it in a language you can understand, Eve is a librarian. This library records all the history and civilization of the planet Earth." Matthew said smoothly, "She should have been with the library Missing. Didn't expect to be here."

"Hmm... the librarian and the caretaker... don't sound like they're in any danger?"

"Of course. Miss Youxiang. She just records history and civilization, and she will not attack or hurt anyone."

"Then why are the people of the Dragon Cult afraid?"

"…………"yes.Why? ?Suddenly, Matthew seemed to have a flash of inspiration, frowned, and his tone returned to his usual briskness, "It's unreasonable. Eve is a completely different type from me. She doesn't even have any programs that can be used as defense or attack. That external device. She's an absolutely harmless librarian. Why be afraid of her??"

"Ah, Matthew is back to normal!"

"I'll turn off the emotional module when it's too much of a hindrance, Miss Youxiang." You should have experienced it a few times before... Oh right, you don't remember.Matthew was slightly wistful. He said, "Anyway, this is a great discovery. I need to talk to Eve."

"Can she talk?"

"Well, she has a personality module. But it shouldn't be as sophisticated as mine, right?" After all, most of her functions are for retrieval and recording services.Matthew said, "She was born on Earth and is the largest database of data ever created by humans. When she lost contact, several historical scientists committed suicide."

Matthew said it so lightly... Youxiang paused, and she said, "I don't think everyone understands what's going on, Matthew." After all, everyone didn't speak, and she was very confused, "Need us Do something, Matthew?"

"Hmm..." That's right, although I was very excited to find Eve again, but... how should I put it, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the current situation, and it really doesn't help the action.Matthew said, "It seems that there is no need to do anything. Eve is harmless. Although I don't know why the Dragon Church is so afraid, but... she will not harm humans."

"That means we don't have to worry?"

"That's right. There is no need to worry about her. But...Miss Youxiang." Matthew said, "I have a request. I still want to talk to her, although it may not make any sense to the current situation, but ..."

"I see. She's Matthew's friend, isn't she?" Same as Matthew.Matthew should have a lot to say to his kind.Youxiang laughed, and she said, "Let me go with Matthew. Because Matthew can't go by himself, right?"

"Miss Youxiang... But, you should have more important things..."

"A brave man can also do side missions - Matthew should have said so." Youxiang took Matthew's hand as he said, "I also want to meet Miss Eve. I want to know more about Matthew .May I?"

Even if you know about me... it doesn't make any sense, Miss Yuka.My value lies in the other... Matthew was about to say that, but his emotional module started flickering again.Is this thing going to burn out?It made Matthew unable to think carefully: "Is this okay? Miss Youxiang? Do meaningless things for me."

"Matthew is a very important person to me! It's not meaningless!"

"I'm not even—" Not human...

"Matthew really~~ I'm going! I'm going~~ I'm going to see Miss Eve! Matthew~~~"

She even acted coquettishly!Originally, Matthew hoped that Ace and the others could talk about her, but when he looked up, Ace and Sabo looked like they were watching the show and smiled at him.

"I also kind of want to see what Matthew's kind is like." Ace said and walked over, "It won't take much time anyway. Don't you feel shy, Matthew?"

"Even if I go back now, I will still be hated by those grandpas." Sabo is very realistic, he said, "And I don't think it's a bad thing to know more things, Matthew. We are companions, right? A little visit to the volcano is not right. What a big deal."

"Do you know how serious the situation in this world is..."

"Well... let's leave it to Weiwei." Sabo immediately thought of a good way, "Look, there are still details about the Red Ship that you need to know from Krok, right?"

"Huh?! Leave it all to me...Yeah, it's not impossible." Weiwei said a little surprised, "But you should pay attention to safety?"

"Hmm..." Sabo looked at Crocodile, who was sitting there smoking a cigarette, and then at Dover, who was watching from the sidelines, and then said to Vivi, "I don't think it's safe for you. Forget it, you and us come together."

"Yeah~~" Youxiang immediately took Weiwei's arm, "It's a trip to the volcano!! I'll leave the other important things to you, Dover!"

"Wait a minute. Hey! Small cauliflower! It smells good!! You wait for me—hey..." He ran away without looking back! !Explain it clearly to me!Dover didn't have time to catch these people, "My head hurts...I'll give you this crown, Crocodile."

"Huh??" What crown?Look at these unreliable guys you find.I just said they can't!Crocodile expressed his displeasure. "Stop talking about that. Let's go to Mansfield's."

"I don't think he has any useful information yet."

"But at least his house is cool, so he can have whatever he wants."

"You're right. Let's go."

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Silently opened a branch about Matthew... Hehe!I will talk about the real reason why Matthew hates humans~

Dover: Am I just a tool man to you? !

You Xiang: Whoring Dover for free is also fun! !

Crocodile: It feels good to prostitute Mansfield too.

Dover: You'd better learn something!
