Chapter 992 A letter

There was a strong warning in the tone of the captain of the Kunyang Sentinel Team, Hasaji.

And Qin Zhibo certainly knows the danger of Abyss Enkai, otherwise what would Mr. Clock do collecting the Panest fragments?

But now Qin Zhibo is also very sensible. Since the other party said that it is not allowed, he will not mention it again.



Qin Zhibo and Xiaoquan Hongzi followed the Kunyang people's sentry along the ancient road to the low mountain in the other direction of the plain.

Here, everyone can overlook the entire desolate place, including the abandoned city on the plain.

Captain Hasaj of the sentry team introduced to Qin Zhibo that the Kunyang people have experienced hundreds of millions of years of evolution and have realized that a dominant race that can dominate nature and opponents does not need a large population.

Therefore, Kunyang people gradually lost their desire for reproduction, and they no longer gave birth unless it was for some kind of experiment.

This also allowed them to have several huge cities in the vast underground world. Now there is only one remaining "Satuo", where all the Kunyang people live together.

The city shrouded in clouds on the plain is the lost city abandoned due to population decline, as well as the temple.

Although the Kunyang people had conquered aging and death thousands of years ago and had unlimited lifespans, they now refused to live that long and would actively choose to die after "a period of time".

"Look at us, the youngest ones have all lived at least 500 years old, and I am the oldest among them, and I have also lived 1,500 years old."

"Although we are using our smartest brains to discover the fun in life, it is also an infinite torture of consciousness..."

"Unlike you humans, who can enjoy a short and wonderful life, but always feel the urgency of not having enough time..."

"really not bad!"

Khasaj "explained" this sentence to Qin Zhibo with a smile, which made Qin Zhibo feel the strong flavor of Versailles.

It seems that Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to the wrong place back then, and this is the right place...

The sentry team followed the ancient Yangchang Road on the hillside against the trend until they reached the top of the mountain. The light blue clouds and mist in the sky were so close that they could be touched.

At this height, Qin Zhibo looked to the other side of the short mountain and finally saw a majestic and magnificent scenery.

It was still a man-made landscape, a metropolitan city with a large population and vitality.

Looking down the hillside, there are farmhouses and pastures similar to those in the suburbs, scattered temples, aqueducts and artificially planted trees, as well as checkerboard roads leading to the metropolis.

At the end of the road, Qin Zhibo couldn't help holding his breath and observing the center of the "Satuo" city with his telescopic vision.

There are low-rise buildings densely stacked together, and several tower-shaped buildings towering into the sky are closely connected, with huge silver cables hanging from golden pillars.

This place is like a metropolis that only appears in cyberpunk movies, except that it is always daytime and there is no need for neon flashes and light pollution, but this is enough to illustrate the technology and aesthetics of Kunyang people.

Qin Zhibo thought in his heart that Kunyang people already possess all the characteristics of a highly developed society, including infinitely extended life span of residents, densely populated developed cities, and technologies that humans have not yet mastered...

If the Kunyang people want to, they can counterattack the humans on the ground at any time and occupy the "new world" for them.

However, they seem to have a certain commandment similar to the ancestral precepts, which prohibits them from ever living on earth.

Unless Cthulhu returns.



Along the checkerboard-like basalt road, Hasaj led Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi into this huge and weird "Almighty City".

The two of them were like country people entering the city, looking around at all the strange and novel things around them.

In this unknown environment, Koizumi Hongzi unknowingly hugged Qin Zhibo nervously with both hands.

The Kunyang people on the roadside also stopped and paused from time to time, staring directly at the two people who seemed to be a strange species.

Khasajj was showing off, kicking the belly of the four-legged animal under his crotch in a show of force, and was at the front of the team, receiving the coronation from the eyes of the people.

Among the people, Qin Zhibo saw some strange humanoid creatures working without raising their heads.

Their movements are mechanical and stiff, and they look like zombies in Lin Zhengying's movies.

Hasaj seemed to have noticed Qin Zhibo's doubts and introduced.

"This is Imo-Bihe. They are dead creatures. They are a kind of machine that we have resurrected using nuclear energy and thoughts. They can complete various tasks like slaves."

Hasaj described it as a "machine", but in Qin Zhibo's eyes, it was just a person, a person in the state of a dead body.

Their eyes are empty and lifeless, and their skin is lifeless, much like the "resurrected corpses" of voodoo.

This frightened Qin Zhibo, and he couldn't help but worry about whether the fate of the two foreigners would be to be made into this kind of "Imo-Bihe".

In this regard, Qin Zhibo felt that Koizumi Hongzi behind him might also be a little uneasy, because the hands surrounding him were tighter.



On the way to somewhere, Hasaj stopped to introduce some noteworthy temples to Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi.

These temples are closely arranged on the side of the road and, according to Kunyang custom, are surrounded by dense groves.

Each temple worships different gods, including Cthulhu, Ig, Nag and Jebu, Shub-Nicholas, and others who cannot be named.

"That temple was once dedicated to Tsathogya."

"But after experiencing some terrible adventures, the owner of the temple was changed to the mother of all things, the wife of the Unspeakable - Shub Nicholas."

Hasaj sat on the animal and casually introduced the origin of the temple to the two of them.

These temples are similar to the abandoned temples on the plain. They all have only one door connected to the outside, and they are not abandoned.

Passing by the temple, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi also arrived at their destination, an apartment very close to the tower.

Khasaj brought people into this single-family apartment and explained what happened next.

Since it is getting late today, the Kunyang people's council will ask some questions to outsiders tomorrow and evaluate the value of the two staying here.

If they pass the evaluation, they can stay in Kunyang forever and become free persons here.

This made Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi look at each other. When did they say they wanted to stay here?

But Khasajj simply said this, and finally wished the two good luck tomorrow.

"Have a good sleep, see you tomorrow."

As Khasaj was about to leave the apartment, Qin Zhibo quickly stopped him.

"Wait a moment!"

This sentence was in English, and Khasajj did not understand it, but he still turned around when he heard the voice.

Qin Zhibo conveyed his thoughts to him, "What will happen if you fail the evaluation?"

Khasaj thought for a moment and gave a vague answer.

"It's hard to say, the Council will send you to a useful place..."

"But don't worry too much. It's been almost 15 years since outsiders entered here last time in your human calendar."

"Perhaps we still need to obtain information from these 15 years."

After saying that, Hasaj pushed the door open and left without looking back.

Qin Zhibo immediately followed him to the window and watched as Hasaj ordered two Kunyang men to guard the door while he rode away on the animal.

Although they were invited as guests, the two of them were actually under house arrest.

"What should we do now? Wait until tomorrow?" Koizumi Hongzi came over and asked.

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and shook his head, "I'm afraid that won't work."

"No matter whether we pass the so-called council or not, these Kunyang people have no intention of letting us leave."

"They don't want the outside world to know of their existence, so they can only leave us underground forever."

Qin Zhibo had a lot of exchanges with Hasaj just now, and he had already vaguely sensed the attitude of these Kunyang people towards outsiders.

If outsiders could leave here easily, the story of Kunyang would have been spread on the ground long ago, and it would not be just a legend.

"Besides, the agreement with Mr. Clock will not last long. I don't know where he is now..."

Mr. Clock used a seismic mining machine to go directly to Enkai. His progress should be faster than theirs, and he did not encounter any Kunyan people.

Once Mr. Clock fails to abide by the agreement and directly enters Enkai, he will be in vain.

After thinking again and again, Qin Zhibo told Koizumi Hongzi of his decision.

"We'll leave Tsato tonight."

Koizumi Hongzi nodded and agreed.

But then her eyes became lonely again, and she asked: "My mother...is she in this city?"

"The person just said that 15 years ago was the time when my mother disappeared."

"But I just used the spell and couldn't find my mother's location. I didn't even have any sense..."

Qin Zhibo knew that Koizumi Hongzi was overthinking it again. The lady in red, the servant, and the old gray eagle from 15 years ago were indeed the outsiders who came to Kunyang 15 years ago as mentioned by Hasaj.

But just now Qin Zhibo did not dare to ask these people face to face about their endings. Once the answers pointed in a bad direction, Koizumi Hongzi might go berserk on the spot.

He could only comfort him: "Although these Kunyang people are powerful, they should not be able to imprison a person who can use magic."

"Your mother should have thought of a way to get to Enkai, and she has succeeded."

Hearing this, Koizumi Hongzi didn't say much, turned around and left with a heavy heart.



Kunyang people do not have the concept of night, but they have their own set of work and rest rules.

There were still several hours before the Kunyang people rested, and Qin Zhibo was not idle either.

They first searched the entire apartment to see which room's windows would be more suitable for escaping.

When he found a bedroom on the second floor, Qin Zhibo discovered a bright spot under a wall.

Take a closer look, it's an investigation point!

【Topographic Survey√】

[Loose bricks are often a good place to hide secrets]

The construction style here is similar to the Mediterranean style. There are brick skirtings under the walls, and the gap between one brick and the other bricks is obviously much larger.

Qin Zhibo got a machete, inserted the blade into the gap, and with great effort, he dug out the long brick.

Inside the bricks, lying quietly, was a piece of letter paper rolled into a cylinder.

Unfolding the letter paper that has been completely formed, there are densely packed small characters inside, and they are all in English.

[A letter to those who come after me]

[When you read this letter, I assume that you have become a prisoner of those Kunyang people]

[About this underground world, I want to tell you, you must escape as soon as possible! 】

[The faster you run, the better! Never stop!]

[The Kunyang people are a degenerate race. They lack the original enterprising spirit in their long-term evolution and ignore all life except them! 】

[In pursuit of sensory stimulation, Kunyang people engage in crazy entertainment, abuse, and various depraved carnival rituals, accompanied by unspeakable horrors]

[In order to make up for the emptiness caused by long lifespan, Kunyang people invented many methods of torture, and scientists used barbaric games to stimulate their lack of spiritual world]

[If you fail the review of the council, I will tell you what will happen]

[You may become a slave of the Kunyang people, and your body will be turned into a machine, working endlessly]

[You may become a gladiator that the Kunyan people use to please themselves, and be sent to that crazy circular arena to fight with Gaai Youssi and other slaves until they die]

[Or your body will be used for inhumane experiments. Your organs will be displaced, the lungs will be moved to the kidneys, the kidneys will be moved to the stomach, the bladder will be moved to the head, the brain will be moved to the buttocks... and then they will be replaced with the dead bodies.

It’s no different that you were exiled to the ground to warn outsiders not to approach]

[As long as any entertainment method can bring them freshness, no matter how cruel the method is, they will try it without thinking]

[Even if you are lucky enough to pass their council and become a free man of Zato, don't think that all this madness is over]

[Kunyan people will set a strict daily activity schedule for outsiders, and outsiders are forced to participate in their horrific religious activities, Tulu, Ig, Shabu Nicholas, Nag and Jebu, the unspeakable ones...]

[Kunyang people do not have the social unit of family, they only have large emotional communities, which are some extremely beautiful and artistic men or women]

[They will ask for you, and they will use their infinite lifespan to consume the limited you every night, fifty people... taking turns... never stopping!]

[Let me tell you another piece of information. If you are unfortunate enough to be sent for review together with your companions, remember to be more knowledgeable than your companions.]

[Kunyang people will not leave too many low-quality outsiders in the same group of intruders. You must show more value than your peers before you can hope to pass the council]

【……】

[The longer I stay here, the less able I am to bear the danger and terror here, and I know I must leave]

[But all entrances to the ground are guarded by Kunyang people, and it is impossible for me to leave from those places]

[The only way to leave alive is to challenge the taboo horror abyss in Kunyang - Enkai]

[I will go to Enkai, even if there is death ahead, I will never look back! 】

[If you are determined, use silk thread to hang up Kunyang’s metal coins. The special magnetism of this thing will point you to the road to salvation]
