Chapter 392 Can't Keep Up with the Pace
Lin Fan's question left Noah stunned once again.
He couldn't keep up with the pace of the man in front of him at all.
One second the other party was shouting and threatening, looking fierce like "If you don't submit, I'll kill you."
Why are you being so agreeable all of a sudden? And why are you even asking about the collaboration?
The leap in his thinking was completely beyond his comprehension.
Of course, despite not understanding, he still answered Lin Fan's questions truthfully.
"Mr. Lin, if you are willing to join us, your position in the entire consciousness network will be second only to 'Mother.' You will become one of the highest ranks."
Noah's expression became serious again, even with a hint of seduction.
"At that time, you will have the highest authority, and all of us 'newborn' individuals will follow your guidance."
And your will, through 'Mother,' will become the collective will of us.
He paused, as if feeling that wasn't enough, and added:
"You will become the right hand of 'Mother,' a divine messenger walking in the world, and an enforcer of order."
"stop."
Lin Fan raised his hand to interrupt him.
"It's a waste of your talent if you don't go into pyramid schemes."
He leaned forward slightly, stared into Noah's eyes, and asked a question that he himself wanted to know more about.
"Let's leave aside the position of this pyramid scheme leader for now."
I just want to know, is the world your mother is currently in the same world as the Shoggoth world?
"Shugos?"
Upon hearing this name, Noah's previously devout expression froze instantly.
Instead, there was an extreme sense of astonishment and shock, as if they had never expected Lin Fan to ask such a question.
Although Noah didn't speak, Lin Fan guessed what was going on in his eyes, which was filled with surprise and a hint of tension.
It seems I guessed right.
Sure enough, all of these creatures came from that dark world.
However, he doesn't quite understand why two different kinds of beings can coexist in one world.
interesting.
"Looks like I guessed right."
Lin Fan dropped his playful grin, crossed his legs, and continued speaking to the other person.
"You don't need to answer that question; I already have the answer..."
"you……"
Looking at Lin Fan's confident expression, Noah was at a loss for words, his face showing disbelief.
The origin of "Mother" is the most crucial secret in their new collective. Apart from a very few first-generation members who were directly endowed with knowledge by "Mother," no one knows it at all.
But how did this man, an indigenous person of this planet, know this?
This unscientific!
However, he didn't know that Lin Fan had been to that world at least dozens of times, if not hundreds.
Although his activities were limited to the cemetery and its surroundings, he was now absolutely certain that the mother the other person spoke of was...
They probably came from that cemetery.
"Everyone has their own secrets, and being too curious won't do anyone any good."
Lin Fan looked at the other person with a playful smile.
"Don't you think so?"
"Uh..." Noah was taken aback, unsure how to answer.
But Lin Fan didn't want any answers. Instead, he spoke again, changing the subject:
"Now, let's talk about deeper cooperation."
"Since your mother—no, your 'mother'—is from the same hometown as those Shoggoths bastards, she must know how to deal with them, right?"
Lin Fan felt as if he had found a huge treasure trove.
A living archive of secrets of deep space.
However, just as Noah was about to say something...
"Waaaaah—waaaah—"
A piercing alarm sounded without warning throughout the entire nuclear power plant site!
The red warning lights flashed wildly in the corridor, illuminating everyone's faces in a blood-red hue.
"What happened?!"
Helen jumped to her feet, her face turning deathly pale.
This is the highest level of threat alert!
Noah's face turned extremely ugly in an instant, and he stood up abruptly.
Something's happened.
Lin Fan frowned and looked at Noah: "What's wrong?"
For the first time, Noah's eyes showed an emotion called "fear".
"It's the Black Forest... Something from the Black Forest... has escaped!"
And...it's coming this way!
Something has escaped from the Black Forest?
And it's heading this way?
The first thing Lin Fan thought of was...
"Are they those shadowy monsters?"
"No...no!"
Noah shook his head violently, his fear deepening.
"It's something far more troublesome and terrifying than those things!"
He seemed to want to explain something, but the piercing alarm and the increasingly chaotic footsteps within the base prevented him from forming any coherent words.
"Forget it, let's see it with our own eyes first."
Lin Fan didn't bother asking any more questions and strode outside.
No matter what kind of monsters or demons they are, once they're on their own turf, dragons have to coil up and tigers have to lie low.
He wanted to see what it was that could frighten this self-proclaimed son of God like this.
Seeing this, Helen hesitated for a moment and then followed.
The corridor was in complete chaos as the survivors, under the organization of the guards, were urgently evacuating towards the underground shelter.
Lin Fan went against the flow of people and quickly arrived outside.
"Mr. Lin!"
Miller was holding an assault rifle and shouting himself hoarse to maintain order when he saw Lin Fan coming over. He seemed to have found his pillar of support and rushed over.
"What happened?" Lin Fan asked in a deep voice.
"have no idea!"
Miller's face was covered in sweat.
"Five minutes ago, all the monitoring equipment and drones we deployed on the edge of the Black Forest failed at the same time!"
Nothing was detected.
It was like...like that place suddenly turned into nothingness!
"nothingness?"
Lin Fan looked in the direction Miller was pointing.
It was still dark, and all the searchlights installed outside the nuclear power plant were pointing in the same direction.
It illuminated the open space hundreds of meters ahead as bright as day.
For those few hundred meters, everything looked the same as usual.
We haven't seen a single monster, let alone any mutated animal.
Everything around seemed so quiet.
But it is precisely this extreme quiet that makes one's heart sink.
"Report! Observation post number three has lost contact!"
"Report! Observation posts five and six have lost contact!"
One bad news after another came through the walkie-talkie, making the already tense atmosphere even more oppressive.
"What the hell is that thing?"
A young soldier's voice trembled as he gripped his gun tightly.
Lin Fan didn't speak, but squinted his eyes and carefully observed the darkness in the distance.
He could sense an extremely ominous aura emanating from that direction.
It wasn't the pure pollution and malice of the Black Forest, but rather... a deathly stillness.
An absolute stillness that can devour all life, all color, and all sound.
Just then, Miller, who was standing next to him, suddenly gasped, raised his hand, and pointed forward with trembling hands.
"What...what is that?"
