Li Fan thought about the last thing he remembered before losing consciousness, and then he came to his senses and wondered: "Could this be an underground ruins!"
John turned around and asked: "What did you say? Relics?"
Li Fan did not reply, but thought to himself: "Impossible... If this is under the river bed, and we happen to be sucked in by the whirlpool, where will the river water, silt, and fragments of the raft go?
What’s more? Besides, this room is only a few dozen cubic meters. If water really comes in, such a small space will be filled up very quickly. How can it continue to create a vortex?"
Li Fan looked up at the top of the room again, and his expression became more confused: "The ceiling is complete, and this is obviously not the place where we first came in." As he spoke, he thought: "Well... maybe we were sucked in with the current.
After the ruins, it was moved again by some kind of force, and finally it reached the current room."
John said with an "Are you kidding me" look on his face: "Do you think it's made by mermaids? Or is it some kind of drainage filtration system specifically for living creatures?"
Li Fan laughed twice: "Haha... you can keep these two hypotheses until we find out the truth."
John sighed helplessly and turned back to continue studying the murals.
Li Fan walked half a circle around the room: "Did you see anything from those words?"
I thought John would continue to talk nonsense, but he suddenly said seriously: "Yes, this is indeed an ancient ruins and belongs to the Aztec civilization."
Li Fan looked surprised: "Can you really read the writing on the wall?"
John smiled awkwardly: "Okay, to be honest, my expedition team is not the kind of team that climbs mountains and walks through the forest, then takes a few photos and brings back some local products. We are more focused on doing some archaeological excavation work."
Li Fan curled his lips and said, "Why don't you just say tomb robbing?"
On the surface, he didn't react much, but in his heart he was quite surprised.
Although he had only been in contact with John for less than two days, he saved John's life no matter what, and he was extremely kind and righteous during the journey to survive, and he also told a lot about what he knew about the situation.
Unexpectedly, John, who has been on the verge of collapse these few times, has always concealed his true identity and purpose.
"Is this what you are here for this time?" Li Fan asked immediately.
John shook his head: "No, this is not our original goal. The Aztec civilization should be in Central America, and I am surprised to see such writing here. But as far as I know, the Aztec civilization
It was a civilization that existed in the Stone Age more than a thousand years ago. It was impossible to make a room with flat stone walls like this. Therefore, the room we are in..."
Li Fan took over: "Don't say it was man-made by aliens..."
John also felt that his idea was very unreliable, and smiled awkwardly: "Haha, I just assumed."
Li Fan couldn't help but joked: "If your hypothesis is true, you won't have to be a tomb robber in the future. When you go back, you will publish a paper to round out the story from thousands of years ago. By the way, you can use this theory to explain the Mayan people later."
For your achievements in astronomy, I estimate that if you can get some of the things here as evidence, you will be able to win the Nobel Prize as soon as the paper is published."
When he said this, his movements suddenly stopped, and then he shouted: "Holy shit..."
John didn't understand what Li Fan meant by "Holy shit", so he hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"
Li Fan stepped aside and pointed at the wall, and a clear mark appeared on the flat wall in between.
There is actually a secret door in this wall.
"Shet!" John couldn't help shouting.
The two hurriedly pushed the door. Unexpectedly, the stone door, which was originally thought to be very heavy, rotated open with a slight push. There must be some axis mechanism inside, and it directly rotated 180 degrees.
The two people pushed it together.
Then the stone door was tightly sealed again, and the wall was smooth and smooth, as if there had never been a door on the door.
Li Fan and John were surprised to find that their environment had changed.
The originally square metal room is now cylindrical, with the same flat walls and densely packed murals and texts. The only difference is the shape of the room.
"That door can't be opened!" John turned around and pushed the door they had just opened, only to find that the wall did not move at all.
"This may be some kind of mechanism that can only be triggered from one side." Li Fan touched the wall and turned around.
"I guess this is the secret to moving again after we fell to the bottom of the river." He said, looked around, and then walked towards the other wall.
"Look, there is also a door on this wall, huh? There is also a handprint on it!"
Li Fan squatted down, looked at the symbol and said, "It's smaller than an adult's hand, and looks like a child's..."
"What?" John's expression changed slightly: "That black humanoid creature?"
"Yes, and if you look at this height, it should be about the same as the height of that creature. If we want to encounter it, we have to bend down." Li Fan said.
"So?" John looked at Li Fan expectantly, expecting the other party to give him an answer.
Li Fan smiled bitterly: "I guess... maybe the Aztec civilization did not perish, but survived by hiding in the underground world after encountering some major disaster or accident. The black creatures we saw may have survived.
One of them?"
John rolled his eyes: "It seems that your success may be greater if you write a paper to compete for the Nobel Prize..."
Li Fan chuckled: "I'm just guessing, but now I think that the instruments you brought failed, and... the plane crashed, most likely due to this ruins, it may be that weird
That’s where the magnetic field comes from.”
John sighed and said dejectedly: "What's the use of all this guessing now? We can't go out. Sooner or later, both of us will die in here."
"Then let's go to the next room and have a look." Li Fan said, pushing open the door on the wall.
"This underground space cannot be infinite. Let's explore it first. Maybe we can find something useful."
This time the room was in a zigzag shape, like a winding corridor. Li Fan and John stayed in the middle section. They searched again and found that there was nothing in the room. Apart from murals and text, they actually found nine doors.
Doors that can be opened.
"I think... we'd better not separate." Facing as many as nine doors, John looked at Li Fan nervously.
"Of course, continue." Li Fan took a deep breath and pushed open the door closest to the two of them.
