Chapter 147 Xiaoya locks the door, 3 fake anchors
Starry Courtyard.
The night breeze was gentle.
But Lin Xiaoya didn't sleep well.
She sat cross-legged on the bed, the white lock pattern on her forehead flashing.
Every time the light came on, her eyelashes would flutter slightly.
Lin Yuan sat in the courtyard.
He did not go inside to disturb them.
I just quietly watched the main star gate in the sky.
After entering the outer ring of the main star gate during the day, he swallowed a few strands of residual energy overflowing from the second anchor.
The number of compressions was pushed to 762,000.
Not much.
However, it has made the trail behind the door inside the Extreme Star Furnace clearer.
Now, he could vaguely sense the aura of the bronze gatekeeper behind the second anchor.
It's still a long way off.
It's not complete yet.
Like a piece of meat hidden behind a door, only a hint of its flavor wafts out.
Lin Yuan was not in a hurry.
When it's time to actually eat, you have to wait for it to come down.
But Lin Xiaoya is different.
The more stable the second anchor is, the easier it is to stimulate the lock mark on her forehead.
This is not a bad thing.
The door is moving, so the lock naturally needs to learn how to close it.
inside the house.
Lin Xiaoya's breathing gradually became lighter.
Consciousness sinks into a dream.
This time, she did not dream of the White Tower, nor did she dream of Experiment Subject Number One.
She stood in a very quiet white space.
It felt like water beneath my feet.
Each step creates a faint ripple of light.
In the distance, there were no walls, nor sky.
Only the silhouette of a very large door faintly floats at the end.
That's not a complete door.
It's more like a projection of the main star gate in a dream.
Silver-white, enormous, and cold.
A faint blue light flickered on and off along the edge of the door crack.
Lin Xiaoya's face turned slightly pale.
She knew that was the direction of the second anchor.
But soon, she realized something was wrong.
Because there was more than one anchor in front of her.
The first dark blue anchor point appeared to her left front.
I was very close to her.
Like a nail, stuck in mid-air.
The anchor point was surrounded by concentric rings of grayish-white patterns.
Lin Xiaoya recognized it at a glance; it was the aura of the old ring array of the White Pagoda.
That feeling made her very uncomfortable.
Like the observation ring that appeared in my dream.
cold.
hard.
It also carried a pulling sensation, as if trying to fix her dream in place.
The second anchor point appears on the right.
It's a little further away than the first one.
Instead of gray and white rings, it was surrounded by a pool of silvery white water.
Deep within the pool, the faint traces of an old door shimmered.
Lin Xiaoya felt that place was somewhat familiar.
Star Source Pool.
She had heard her brother and Gu Changye mention this place before.
The third anchor point is at the farthest point.
So far away that it was almost impossible to see.
It was nailed deep inside that massive main star gate.
It's not lit.
It's even much darker than the previous two.
But it's the coldest.
It is also the heaviest.
Lin Xiaoya only glanced at it, but felt the lock mark on her forehead become slightly hot.
Three anchors.
Three roads.
She suddenly panicked.
Which one is real?
No one answered her in the dream.
Subject 1 has disappeared.
The white space was so quiet that only her own breathing could be heard.
At that moment, the first anchor point suddenly lit up.
The gray-white rings spread out in concentric circles.
A very soft voice came from inside.
Lock me up.
"I'm closest to you."
"Lock me up, and the door won't see you."
Lin Xiaoya subconsciously took a step back.
She didn't like the sound.
It looks too much like the White Pagoda.
As those people in white robes said, "It's just a retest," "It's just protection," "It's just for the safety of the main star gate."
The nicer the words were, the more frightened she became.
Immediately afterwards, the second anchor point also lit up.
The silvery-white pool water surged.
The voice softened a little.
"The first one is fake."
"I am the real one."
"I am a remnant of the old gate of the Star Source Pool."
"Lock me up, and brother won't have to go to the main star gate anymore."
brother.
These two words made Lin Xiaoya's heart tighten.
She clenched her little hands.
She really didn't want Lin Yuan to go to dangerous places.
If we lock this one, my brother won't need to go to the main star gate, so shouldn't we...?
wrong.
She bit her lip hard.
The little bit of experience left behind by Experiment Subject No. 1 gently shone in the depths of her consciousness.
The door will lie to you.
The more you want to hear something, the slower you should believe it.
Lin Xiaoya forced herself not to look at the second anchor point.
She looked up at the third one, which was furthest away.
The third anchor point remained silent.
There was no inducement.
They didn't get close either.
It simply remained quietly anchored deep within the main star gate.
cold.
Shen.
Danger.
Like a nail that's actually driven into the door.
Lin Xiaoya suddenly understood.
A real door won't fool her.
A true anchor doesn't need to be tricked into getting closer.
The anchor was a lie; it was a fake.
The first anchor is the lingering shadow of the old ring array of the White Pagoda.
The second anchor was a decoy disguised by the aura of the old gate of the Star Origin Pool.
The third one is the true second anchor of the main star gate.
Lin Xiaoya raised her hand and pressed it against her forehead.
The white lock pattern lights up.
She was still afraid.
Because the third anchor was too far away and too heavy.
She felt very small.
As small as an ant standing in front of a giant gate.
But she didn't choose the nearest one.
They didn't choose the best-sounding one either.
She looked at the distant, dark blue anchor point and whispered:
"You are the real one."
The words fell.
The first two anchor points vibrated simultaneously.
The gray-white rings and the silvery-white pool water distorted in an instant, like two torn fake faces.
The voices coming from inside were no longer gentle.
Instead, it becomes sharp.
"Wrong."
You chose the wrong one.
Lock me up!
"Locking me in is the only way to ensure safety!"
Lin Xiaoya's face turned even paler.
But she gritted her teeth and didn't turn around.
The white lock-like markings on her forehead grew brighter and brighter.
The light wasn't strong.
It couldn't even illuminate the entire dream.
But it was very determined.
Like a tiny lock, it flew out from the depths of her dream, bypassing the interference of the first two false anchors, and landed on the farthest dark blue anchor point.
"I don't lock fake ones."
I'll lock you up.
The white lock fell.
Deep within the dream, the third dark blue anchor point suddenly paused.
It's not locked out.
Lin Xiaoya can't do that yet.
She only made the real second anchor pause for a moment.
In just a moment.
But this moment is enough.
……
Stargate Observatory.
Before the compass, the white-haired mentor suddenly looked up.
"Door lock imprint feedback detected!"
"Quick, record the tidal echoes!"
The observers immediately got to work.
Three dark blue fluctuations appeared simultaneously in the center of the compass.
The first route comes from the remnants of the old ring road of the White Pagoda.
The second one comes from the remnants of the old gate of Xingyuan Pool.
The third one comes from the deep tides of the main star gate.
At first, the three waves lit up almost simultaneously.
It's impossible for people to tell the difference between real and fake.
An observer turned pale:
"Three anchor points?"
"How come there are three?"
"The sect leader released a fake anchor!"
The white-haired mentor stared intently at the compass.
"No, not three anchor points."
"There are two afterimages, and one real anchor."
"Look where the lock mark is!"
The voice just fell.
On the compass, the white dot representing Lin Xiaoya's door lock mark bypassed the first two waves and landed directly on the third.
The deep tides of the main star gate suddenly trembled.
The white-haired mentor's eyes suddenly lit up.
"The third anchor wave!"
"The lock imprint feedback is perfectly consistent with the third anchor wave!"
"The actual coordinates of the second main anchor have been confirmed!"
The entire top floor of the observatory shook instantly.
The most troublesome thing was not the existence of the second anchor.
Instead, the specific coordinates of the two anchors were interfered with by the sect leader's fake anchor.
If the judgment is wrong, the subsequent deployment of the Zhenxing Army and the General Headquarters will deviate from the true core.
But now, Lin Xiaoya has locked onto the true direction.
Even a fleeting moment was enough for the observation institute to pinpoint the true coordinates of the second main anchor.
The white-haired mentor immediately said:
"Report this to Marquis Zhenxing!"
"Notify the starship!"
"True Anchor Two Coordinates Confirmed!"
"In addition, record the risks."
"The sect leader has the ability to release false anchors to lure those who are purifying the sect."
"Subsequent observational data should not be relied upon solely based on surface fluctuations!"
……
Zhenxing Army Main Fortress.
Upon receiving the news, the Marquis of Zhenxing's somber expression finally eased slightly.
"Did she make the right choice?"
The lieutenant nodded, his voice trembling with barely concealed shock.
"Yes."
"The first two false anchors were misleading her."
"But Lin Xiaoya didn't lock it wrong."
"She locked the farthest, coldest, and heaviest third anchor point."
Marquis Zhenxing remained silent for a moment.
"very good."
These two words are not just a compliment to Lin Xiaoya.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
If Lin Xiaoya locks the wrong lock, the sect leader might be able to find the flaw by following her dream.
But she wasn't fooled.
This shows that although her lock-on skills are still weak, her judgment has begun to take shape.
At least, she is not a child who can only be passively protected.
Marquis Zhenxing looked at the projection of the main star gate and said in a deep voice:
"Readjust the outer ring defense line based on the actual coordinates."
"The star-patterned turret deflects three degrees."
"The star cruiser formation is moving toward the third anchor wave region."
"The second and fourth squads of the Zhenxing Army are transferred to the east side of the main star gate."
The lieutenant immediately accepted the order.
"yes!"
……
Starship.
Zhou Xuanheng also received the coordinate confirmation result.
He stared at the True Two Anchor in the projection, which was briefly marked with white lock patterns, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Did she make the right choice?"
Deputy Star Patrol Envoy said:
"Yes."
"Without entering the White Pagoda or wearing any observation equipment, Lin Xiaoya used dream perception to identify the false anchor of the gatekeeper and briefly locked onto the real anchor."
Zhou Xuanheng remained silent for a moment.
He had to admit that Lin Xiaoya's value was higher than he had anticipated.
This is not a child who simply has a special physical condition.
She has already developed the basic ability to judge the traps behind the door.
If this ability is developed, it will be extremely important in future main battles.
This is precisely why Zhou Xuanheng became even more convinced of his judgment.
Lin Xiaoya must be included in the General Administration's protection system.
Lin Yuan, a freshman of unknown origin, cannot be left to guard this place alone.
Furthermore, one should not be completely influenced by the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator.
But right now, we absolutely cannot confront the Starry Courtyard head-on.
Zhou Xuanheng recalled the blood talisman that had fallen on the chairman's desk yesterday.
If you touch Xiaoya again, kill her.
His gaze turned colder.
"Record the strength of Lin Xiaoya's door lock imprint."
"Record the duration of dream feedback."
"But do not go near the Starry Courtyard."
The deputy envoy of the star survey bowed his head.
"Yes."
Zhou Xuanheng looked into the depths of the main star gate.
"We'll deal with her affiliation after the main sect battle is over."
……
Starry Courtyard.
Lin Xiaoya suddenly opened her eyes.
Her face was frighteningly pale, and her forehead was covered in fine sweat.
Lin Yuan was right beside the bed.
"elder brother……"
Her voice was very soft.
Did I make the right choice?
Lin Yuan watched as the white lock mark on her forehead gradually faded away.
"Um."
Lin Xiaoya seemed to breathe a huge sigh of relief.
My whole body went limp.
"I wasn't scammed."
"Um."
"Two of them are fake."
"I know."
Lin Xiaoya looked up at him and whispered:
"But the second one said that if you lock it, you won't need to go to the main star gate."
Lin Yuan's expression remained unchanged.
"So it's fake."
Lin Xiaoya nodded.
She understands now.
If she tries to trick her brother with something, it's most likely fake.
A real brother wouldn't ask her to open the door, nor would he ask her to trade her life for safety.
She leaned against the headboard, her voice weak:
"Brother, that anchor really is so far away."
"I only locked it for a moment."
That's enough.
Lin Xiaoya's eyes brightened slightly.
"Is that really enough?"
"Enough for them to find a spot."
Lin Xiaoya smiled softly.
"Then I'll be of help."
Lin Yuan said calmly:
"You can be even faster next time."
Lin Xiaoya: "..."
She had originally hoped to receive some compliments.
But upon hearing this, she nodded even more earnestly.
"Um."
"I'll be faster next time."
Lin Yuan glanced at her.
"rest."
"it is good."
Lin Xiaoya obediently lay down.
She soon fell asleep again.
This time, although the white lines on my forehead were much darker, they were more stable than before.
Lin Yuan stood by the bed, watching her fall asleep peacefully.
She is indeed growing.
Although still weak.
But it can already distinguish the false anchor and lock the real anchor for a moment.
This is good.
If the sect leader truly wants to use her to pave the way in the future, he won't succeed as easily as he did with the White Pagoda.
……
above the sky.
Deep within the main star gate.
The projection of the bronze gatekeeper stood silently.
The dark blue portal on his chest slowly turned.
It was as if it saw the white lock pattern in the dream through the second anchor.
After a long while, a deep voice came from deep behind the door.
"Lock."
"They're starting to learn how to close doors."
Behind the bronze gatekeeper, deep within, there seemed to be an indescribable will gently trembling.
That's not the Bronze Goalkeeper himself.
It was the echo of the sect leader.
"Then let's work on the lock first."
The sound faded.
The eerie blue light emanating from the second anchor of the main star gate suddenly became even colder.
It did not continue to expand.
Instead, it became thinner, sharper, and more like a needle prepared to repeatedly wear down a keyhole.
In the small courtyard of the Star Kingdom.
Lin Xiaoya frowned slightly in her sleep.
Lin Yuan looked up at the main star gate.
His gaze turned slightly colder.
"Grinding lock?"
The Extreme Dao Star Furnace within his body slowly rotated.
"You can give it a try."
A night breeze blew outside the courtyard.
Three days to go, only two and a half days left.
The door is becoming more cunning.
The lock is also learning to close.
Lin Yuan, however, is still waiting for it to truly come down.
