Most contemporary art believes that around the fifth century BC, the ancient Greek painter Agatarchus began to develop the concept of perspective in painting. Later, the perspective ideas of near large, far small, one point, two points and three points gradually emerged.
, with the three-dimensional painting method of various geometric shapes, it developed maturely in the Renaissance era.
Before this, human beings could only independently project individual images in three-dimensional space onto a two-dimensional plane through features, just like the head, chest, and abdomen in the Egyptian murals with three sections separated from the front and sides, and everyone was painted with long and short legs.
The Paleo-Indians in the middle reaches of the Minnesota River were certainly no exception.
In other words, under normal circumstances, the [Antique Zero] on the mural should be a two-dimensional triangle or rhombus cross-sectioned from a certain perspective, and it is impossible for it to appear only after tens of thousands of years of painting development, using lines and angles.
Outlined three-dimensional form!
What’s even more weird is that, except for the mysterious octahedron drawn with geometric perspective that clearly transcends the times, all the other scenes on the mural are drawn with flat lines that are in line with the normal aesthetics of primitive people...
It's almost obsessive-compulsive.
This mural was originally a photo in a photo, and it was a thing from a long time ago. Zhen Cheng couldn't see it very clearly on his mobile phone, but he could barely make out the scene depicted on it.
From right to left, the matchstick man buries [Antique Zero]; the matchstick man places Antiquity Zero in the flames and stabs it with a spear-like thing; the large high-definition version of [Antiquage Zero]
Three consecutive sets of images falling from the sky.
If you understand it from left to right, it can be seen as the process of the octahedron falling from the sky being picked up by this group of primitive people; using its power to light fires, making weapons, or trying to destroy it to no avail, and finally burying it.
But what happened next was quite embarrassing. The part further to the left in the photo was actually missing! And it’s not that it was destroyed by weathering and erosion, but the person who took the photo didn’t take that part into the photo.
The reason for choosing this shooting angle is obvious, it is to highlight the archaeologist who is surveying the lower right corner of the mural. But at this moment, Miss Zhen’s eyes inevitably have the urge to find the photographer and sink him into the Pacific Ocean.
Where did this damn thing fall from?
Next, the fifth photo was taken in a very strange place. The light in the picture is very dark, it seems to be a natural cave with water on the ground, but the wall in the background is regularly arranged with equilateral triangles that make people look inexplicably dizzy.
The array looks like traces of artificial excavation no matter how you look at it.
In front of the camera stood dozens of shadowy figures in black robes wearing hoods. From the gaps between the figures, we could see that there was a small stone altar in front of them. On the stone altar was a chest-high platform similar to a podium.
table.
Fortunately, the pixels were high enough, so Zhen Cheng had to enlarge the screen to see clearly what was on it.
It was a small fragment. It was completely dark, with a smooth cross-section with an equilateral obtuse angle on one side, and a jagged cross-section on the other side. Judging from the fracture of the fragment, it was obviously the octahedron of the [Antique Zero].
The third fragment that has never been seen before.
The title of this photo is even more interesting: "Assault on the Oracle Order Branch—Remaining Documents"
In this way, the truth of the matter will be revealed. The person who has been chasing him like a shadow like the god of death is not his crazy second brother, not the white-haired powerful man who can destroy the world with his hands, nor is Anbis, who is surrounded by many suspicions.
The boss is the mysterious organization that should have nothing to do with him - the Oracle Order.
The title that Anbis left on his phone stated that this photo came from the Oracle Order, which means that the Oracle Order owns or is also pursuing the last fragment of [Antique Zero].
This is the third time today that the "black pupil" that affects ordinary people and turns them into powerful and incapable of pain attacks them, not counting the repetition caused by "reincarnation in time".
Follow this clue and infiltrate the iron-walled St. Matar Academy. Hire a third-rate guy like a cap to assassinate you, but you can provide a lot of confidential information about yourself, including your whereabouts and habits...
Everything is very consistent with the image of a secret organization that possesses mysterious power, is good at prophecy, and infiltration, but lacks frontal weapons.
So here comes the final question. How did I offend this secretive organization that is impossible to defeat?
Regarding this question, Zhen Cheng was not too anxious, and just continued to look through the secret documents in Anbisi's phone. He believed that in a few minutes, someone who knew the answer would answer him.
Then there is the sixth photo, which is another mural. However, this is not the first time Zhen Cheng has seen it.
To be precise, this is the first time Zhen Cheng has seen a photo of this real scene, but the image of this picture has already been used by most world history books as a representative of ancient Egyptian tomb murals. In today's world, this picture is completely
It can be said to be familiar to anyone with a little bit of culture.
Unlike the murals in history books that have had their color and clarity adjusted, the photo on Anbis’ cellphone was taken directly inside the pyramid at its original location.
Zhen Cheng felt that the scene in the photo was not significantly different from the blurry image in his memory. But now that such a well-known monument appears in this folder about [Antiquities Zero], there is obviously something hidden.
some connections.
Zooming in and dragging to carefully observe the details of the picture, Zhen Cheng discovered the clues within a few seconds.
There should be no difference between the mural at the original site of the tomb in the mobile phone and the illustrations in many history books. If it hadn't appeared in this folder, I'm afraid no one would have realized the original strangeness in the picture!
In the relatively conspicuous part on the right side of the picture, Anubis, the black dog-shaped god believed by the ancient Egyptians to govern the underworld, took the pharaoh's heart with one hand. He needed to put the heart on the scale and weigh it against the feathers.
, to judge the sins of the deceased...
And its other hand stretched out its fingers to point in the direction behind the Pharaoh, and at the same time handed him something...
Having just seen the previous series of photos, Zhen Cheng could tell at a glance the distinct outline of the object in Anubis' hand - this was definitely the fragment of [Antique Zero] that once appeared in the hands of Academy City's collector!
The file title of this photo is "First Traces - Early Research on the Way of Sublimation". The ancient Egyptians believed in the reincarnation of the pharaoh as a god, and believed in resurrection and eternal life.
[Antique Zero] The second fragment...given by God...resurrection...eternal life...
Looking at the finger of Anubis, the God of Death, pointing in the direction behind the Pharaoh in the mural, cold sweat broke out on Zhen Cheng's back.
