Chapter 367: Looking for Clues
[Welcome to the Main World of Reincarnation, Monster Movie Universe-SS Level]
[A camp has been randomly selected for you - the Protector Camp plot line]
[Please start your reincarnation adventure! ]
…
Why is music played?
This was Fu Qinghai's first question.
Before entering a new reincarnation world, no music had ever been played, whether at the beginning or the end of the reincarnation - Fu Qinghai was very sure of this.
At this moment, he was standing on the roof of an old building. Below him was a busy seaside road, a beach, coconut trees, sea breeze... The setting sun was slowly falling over the sea, reflecting a shining and broken orange-red on the sea level.
"ah!"
Fu Qinghai suddenly remembered a post he had seen in the Samsara Forum before, from the Weixu Alliance:
"According to the information we have collected, from now on, when the reincarnation world is opened for the first time, the Lord God will give some hints before entering the reincarnation world, suggesting that this is the first time it is opened - although we don't know the significance of doing so, it seems to be just a little funny easter egg."
"Some people also think that this is not some little easter egg, but a manifestation of the 'rule infection' of the reincarnation world."
Could this be the so-called "little easter egg"?
I'll go ask the people of the Order-Maintaining Alliance directly.
Fu Qinghai shook his head and didn't think about it anymore. After all, he was a VIP member of the Weixu Alliance and had subscribed to the consulting subscription service. He could just ask directly about such things and didn't need to spend any points.
Fu Qinghai leaned on the iron railing with both hands and looked around.
I wonder where this is?
He didn't have to wait long before a fragment of extremely simple memories came into his mind:
My name is Fu Shan, a descendant of immigrants, currently living in the Chinatown Port area of Honolulu, Hawaii.
That's all.
Predictably brief.
Fu Qinghai had seen this statement, or experience summary, when he was browsing the Weixu Alliance consultation forum: the player's first life and the new reincarnation life after resurrection, the reincarnation world will arrange slightly more complicated identities, such as Fu Qinghai's identity as a "poor orphan from the lower nest" and Lin Yu's identity as the "son of the Imperial Minister of Justice."
But if it is to descend into a new universe.
Then the identity will be very simple.
"Khan."
A familiar voice sounded behind me.
Fu Qinghai turned around and saw that it was Xiao Fei.
"What is your identity?"
Fu Qinghai asked curiously.
"The samsara world didn't arrange a new identity and memories for me. Maybe it also felt that it couldn't do that."
The Tech Priest said.
Ha, so pitiful?
Xiao Fei continued:
"Downstairs is a huge row of warehouses that have been connected. I just took a look and saw the 'Pojun Jinjia' lying inside. I also found the property transfer document in the office. It has the name 'Fu Shan' and your photo written on it. Is this the new identity that the reincarnation world has arranged for you?"
Fu Qinghai nodded:
"Yes."
After saying that, he patted the oil man's shoulder, and the black gold power armor opened automatically. Fu Qinghai walked out from it, opened the white briefcase, took out the Pym ray pistol and a set of beach-style casual clothes, and said,
"You stay here and wait for me to go out and get information."
"Yes, Khan."
The space monkey Shi Lan also climbed out of the box. Fu Qinghai picked up the monkey and threw it to Xiao Fei, saying:
"You two should stay together."
…
The cool breeze of the evening blows gently.
Wearing a Cuban-style floral shirt, large shorts, flip-flops, and sunglasses, Fu Qinghai strolled along the street with his hands in his pockets.
To be honest, although the weather in Oahu, Hawaii is good, the environment in Honolulu's Chinatown is very poor. There is garbage everywhere on the streets, and homeless people can be seen every few steps.
In a convenience store, Fu Qinghai learned the current year by asking the middle-aged Chinese female store owner:
1995.
Fu Qinghai doesn't know what the year "1995" means to the Monster Movie Universe. He only knows that this year represents the emergence of the Internet.
The time span between different movies in the Monster Movie Universe is not short. The earliest one can even be traced back to before World War II, when the Internet had not yet been invented in the United States.
If the Internet did not exist, then Fu Qinghai's tried-and-tested trick - using the hacking capabilities of artificial intelligence to break into government systems to forge identities - would not work.
After figuring out the general situation and searching his mind for memories of the Monster Movie Universe, Fu Qinghai strolled around two or three times and returned to the warehouse in the coastal port area.
After some tinkering, Fu Qinghai and Xiao Fei quickly connected to the port area's network, trying to find any information about the "Imperial Organization" or "Peak Group" on the Internet.
The former runs through the entire Monster Movie Universe.
The latter is the creator of Mechagodzilla.
The Summit Group probably had not been established at that time.
And the Imperial Organization doesn't know whether it has been decrypted or not.
The artificial intelligence's information retrieval speed was very fast, but the result was nothing. At least in the public information, no clues about the "Imperial Organization" were found.
This organization was founded in 1946. At the beginning, it was just to investigate the USS Lawton incident in 1943. The USS Lawton, a Magnesium ship, was attacked and sunk by a giant creature. President Truman ordered the secret establishment of the Monarch Organization.
A team dedicated to investigating unknown Earth creatures.
By 1954, Monarch had gone global and many countries had joined it. It was no longer just a secret investigation organization under the control of Magnesium. Its nature was somewhat similar to the PPDC in the Pacific Rim universe. The main members of PPDC were the Pacific Rim countries, while Monarch had a wider range of members, acted more secretively and low-key, and was almost never made public.
Coming to the Monster Movie Universe, any reincarnation with a little common sense knows that they must do everything they can to join the Imperial Organization, no matter which camp they are assigned to.
However, the Imperial Organization is not open to the public, and most ordinary people have never even heard of it. Even if they want to join through formal channels, they cannot find the corresponding way.
What to do?
In the old row warehouse, the light is dim and the air is humid. In the temporary office built with several stacked metal containers, a single incandescent lamp is on.
Space Marines, technical priests, space monkeys, and the power armor controlled by Qing Ming, four non-human beings were crowded in this small space, looking at each other, all of them at a loss.
You can't just wait until the Titans start fighting and then rush over to seek justice? That's too passive.
"Pojun Golden Armor" is a powerful weapon.
You can't expose yourself to the public right away.
You know, before the appearance of Mechagodzilla, humans could only stand by and watch the wars that broke out between the Titans, watching these ancient monsters destroy their own cities. Occasionally, they would use the Orca device or oxygen destructive bombs to do some work and assist, but they had no ability to confront them head-on.
Both are IPs under Legendary Pictures. Pacific Rim could have once joined the Monster Movie Universe. Although it ultimately failed, there is no lack of linkage between the two sides - the name of Rattus Rattus appeared in "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" and the name of MUTOs also appeared in "Pacific Rim 2: Uprising".
But the monsters - to be more precise, the monsters that can pass through wormholes - are not as strong as the Titans.
In the Pacific Rim universe, facing the aggressive monsters, humans at least have nuclear bombs as the last and worst option. But for the Titans in the monster movie universe, nuclear bombs are tonics, a perfect tonic.
The explosion of a nuclear bomb will harm the Titan, but the radiation from the nuclear bomb will nourish the Titan. If a nuclear bomb is used against the Titan, it can be said to be very unsafe.
There is no way to predict which direction the outcome will go.
In a crowded office.
A servo skull was connected to the power armor via cables, slowly floating in the air, with faint blue light emitting from its eye sockets. In the holographic projection formed, binary strings and code streams kept flashing, indicating that Qing Ming was searching the network with all his strength, trying to find relevant information.
"I came up with a stupid idea."
Xiao Fei suggested:
"Search the Internet for all reports of sightings of 'giant unidentified land creatures', whether in the news or in rumors. We visit the relevant locations one by one, and we will eventually find the observation stations set up by the Monarch Organization."
"As for what to do after we find them, I don't know either. Anyway, let's find them first and then we'll see."
Xiao Fei just finished speaking.
Qingming displayed a bunch of news web pages along with their titles and pictures in the holographic projection:
Wulong Tiankeng in the mountain city of China, Xiaozhai Tiankeng in Fengjie in the mountain city of China, Ikkiel Tiankeng and Yanzidong Tiankeng in Mexico, the Gate of Hell in Turkmenistan, and so on.
"Well... it's not impossible."
It's just a little slow. In Fu Qinghai's impression, these sinkholes and landslides have no connection with the movie, and most likely they are not observation stations set up by the Emperor Organization.
According to the worldview of the Monster Movie Universe, these strange natural phenomena, including the London smog and volcanic earthquakes, are all caused by the activities of Titan monsters, but not every place where a Titan has been active requires the establishment of an observation station or outpost.
Fu Qinghai stroked his chin and thought for a while.
Suddenly an idea struck him, and he said:
"There are clues in the public information, Qingming. Search all academic websites for the key words 'hollow earth theory' or 'hollow earth hypothesis'."
"Yes, Master."
Monster Cinematic Universe.
Also known as the "Hollow Earth Universe".
"Hollow Earth", or "The Center of the Earth", is one of the iconic settings that distinguishes Legendary Pictures' Monster Movie Universe from Toho Co., Ltd.'s Showa Monster Universe, Heisei Monster Universe and Shin Heisei Monster Universe.
"I have discovered something, Master!"
Qing Ming said excitedly.
"A paper with very low citation count from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, "The Hypothesis of the Existence of the Hollow Earth and Its Evidence", corresponding author: Professor Bill Landa, first author: Dr. Houston Brooks, second author: Dr. Evelyn Metmewi..."
Qing Ming recited quickly and emphasized:
"Among them, Dr. Evelyn Metmerwe is currently in Honolulu, Hawaii. I just checked all the authors related to this paper and tried to find their locations. According to the flight information, she arrived the day before yesterday."
Bill Randa, Houston Brooks, the names sound familiar, as if they were all members of the scientific expedition team that had explored Skull Island... Fu Qinghai tried hard to recall them in his mind.
A soft blue light shot out from the eye sockets of the servo skull, projecting the portrait information of several authors in a halo. The names alone might not make a deep impression, but as soon as you see their appearance you will remember Fu Qinghai and Xiao Fei - these two people were both members of the scientific expedition team in the movie "King Kong: Skull Island".
Then the second author, Dr. Evelyn Metmerwe, is most likely also a member of the Monarch Organization.
"Find her somehow."
Fu Qinghai said in a deep voice.
