The content of the note ended abruptly, and there was no signature at the end.
But it can be seen that the person who wrote this note is also someone who has been to Kunyang and lived in Kunyang for a long time.
This person's handwriting was smooth and stable at first, but then became more and more shaky, as if he was always on the verge of losing control mentally.
Qin Zhibo showed the note to Koizumi Hongzi, who immediately cheered up after reading it.
"It's Mom! Mom must have written this!"
"It's a letter from mom!"
Qin Zhibo watched Koizumi Hongzi holding the letter excitedly and disagreed with her conjecture.
This is a letter to warn those who will follow. From beginning to end, the identity of the person writing the letter is not mentioned, not even the gender.
The only thing that fits the characteristics is that the writer mentioned that "he" did not come in alone, but had other companions.
But this is not enough to prove that the person who wrote the letter is Koizumi Hongzi’s mother.
"Mom must be heading to Enkai, let's go there quickly!"
"Hurry up and try the method in the letter!"
Koizumi Hongzi urged Qin Zhibo to take out the Kunyang coin he picked up on the road, tie it with a thin string, and hang it in the air.
At this moment, something wonderful happened. The coin did not fall vertically, but tilted at an angle, diagonally downwards toward the northeast at 60°.
This kind of metal coin contains metals carried by things from the stars. It has a cosmic magnetism that is different from the earth's magnetic field, so it can attract the deep underground where most of this metal exists.
And that place is Enkai.
…
Once you have the direction, the next step is to prepare to escape.
There are two Kunyang guards at the door. They do not rest according to the time on the schedule and have been standing guard at the door of the apartment.
But the two guards obviously couldn't lock Qin Zhibo and they could choose to open the window toward the back and leave the apartment.
Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi carried their luggage again. In order to reduce the load and facilitate their escape, they took less food with them.
When the Kunyang people on the streets gradually disappeared, the opportunity came.
Slowly pushing open the round arched window facing the rear, Qin Zhibo jumped out of the apartment first, and then caught Koizumi Hongzi from outside.
The two of them ran out along the road they came from in their memory, first escaping from Zatuo City.
Although there were no Kunyang people wandering on the streets at this time, Qin Zhibo still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
It's not dark here, so there's no such thing as a night walk in brocade.
No matter what, you would feel uneasy trying to escape in this kind of daylight environment.
And even if it is time to rest, the streets should not be eerily quiet, not even a sound.
He had never heard that Kunyang had a strict curfew system.
Qin Zhibo stopped and looked at the house on the roadside. The dark glass made it difficult to see what was inside even in the daytime.
"Why did you stop?" Koizumi Anko from behind asked.
"Something's wrong..."
Qin Zhibo walked to the house and pressed his eyes as close to the glass as possible, eliminating the factor of light reflection and seeing clearly inside.
There was actually a group of Kunyang people in the house. They stood behind the glass and stared straight at themselves outside the glass.
"drink!"
Qin Zhibo was startled and quickly took a few steps back.
"No! This is a trap!"
Qin Zhibo looked around. The doors of the houses on both sides of the street were slowly opened one after another, and countless Kunyang people walked out of them.
They looked directly at Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi, with gloomy expressions and threatening eyes, as if they were staring at some guilty person.
"Run!"
Qin Zhibo quickly grabbed Koizumi Hongzi, who was still dazed, and fled along the avenue.
However, many Kunyang people also walked out of the house in front, blocking the road out of the city.
Seeing that he was being attacked from both sides, Qin Zhibo glanced at the roadside, and with an idea, he and Koizumi Hongzi got into the temple on the side of the street.
There is only one gate in the temple. Pull the lever and the hinge-operated gate will fall down.
The interior of the temple fell into darkness. Qin Zhibo took out a nuclear lighter and illuminated a certain area.
"What's going on?" Koizumi Anko asked in a panic before she understood what happened, "Why aren't they sleeping?"
"Because it's a trap."
Qin Zhibo held up a nuclear lighter to see if there were any other exits here, while explaining, "They set up such loose guards just to let us find opportunities to escape."
"This will give them a reason to execute us."
In fact, when he noticed that the street was a little too quiet, Qin Zhibo had a bad feeling in his heart.
Kunyang people allow outsiders to live here because they want to obtain outside intelligence and knowledge from outsiders.
But if Koizumi Hongzi's mother had come 15 years ago and was caught, the value of the outside intelligence the two of them could provide now would be very low.
Fifteen years may be a long time for humans, but for a race that can live to be 500 years old, it is only a few months.
The Kunyang people didn't want to keep them, so they put "unfounded" charges on them, so that they could justifiably do whatever they wanted.
Although in theory the Kunyang people can dispose of their captives at will, the more ancient and developed a civilization is, it will abide by some dogmas and laws that symbolize "civilization" and will not easily break the tradition.
It's just that they have the right to interpret the specific implementation of the law.
In addition, the people of Kunyang carry out such a vicious "fishing law enforcement", which is also consistent with their unscrupulous pursuit of excitement.
Maybe this is just a show for them to fool outsiders.
The Kunyang people in the house watched their every move like a circus performance, because their own struggles were meaningless in their eyes!
Those hateful Kunyang people may even bet privately on where they can escape.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo clenched his fists in anger.
"Is that note also..."
Koizumi Hongzi suddenly thought of that note. If the Kunyang people wanted them to flee here voluntarily, that note would undoubtedly be one of the key conditions for their escape.
But Qin Zhibo shook his head and analyzed: "The note should not be left by the Kunyang people. If it is their note, it should be that they hope that we can enter Enkai, so they will not stop us here."
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's see how to escape from here first..."
Qin Zhibo searched the temple hall and found that it was a temple made of gold, extremely luxurious.
The temple's murals were engraved with a twisted, tentacle-like symbol that looked familiar to Qin Zhibo.
Look at the idol enshrined on the golden pedestal in the middle of the temple. It is not a specific image, but a ragged yellow garment. The darkness beneath the yellow garment is indescribable.
Qin Zhibo immediately determined that this was the temple of Hastur, the King in Yellow!
The temples of gods believed by Kunyang people are arranged together, just like ordinary earth temples and city god temples, for people to worship.
This also shows that the Kunyang people are not pious in their beliefs, and the so-called worship is just a way of spiritual sustenance to fill their long lifespan.
When Qin Zhibo was escaping just now, he randomly broke into this temple dedicated to the nameless man.
The people of Kunyang call "Hasta" the "Unspeakable One", which coincides with the Yellow Brotherhood in Oklahoma. It is difficult to say which of the two borrowed from the other.
But when he saw the statue of the King in Yellow, Qin Zhibo's eyes suddenly lit up and he had an idea in his mind.
…
At this time, the siege outside the temple has been completed.
The sentry team headed by Hasaj, plus countless citizens of Zato, all stood in the woods surrounding the temple.
They collectively looked at the closed temple door with a joking look. Two rows of white teeth were exposed on the Indian's face.
In their eyes, the two outsiders were already turtles in a urn, and it was absolutely impossible for them to escape.
Not to mention that the temple only has one exit, so even if they wanted to stay inside, they would not be able to do so.
The Kunyang people have the ability to transform their bodies between physical and virtual forms, and are not afraid of humans using the terrain to fight against them.
All resistance is meaningless.
Khasaj stood at the front of many Kunyang people and shouted at the door in Spanish: "Come out quickly! Outsiders, we will not hurt you!"
"We don't want to make the situation worse, do we?"
Khasaj's smiling face was full of mockery. Anyway, he knew that the humans inside could not see his current expression.
As for the promises he made, they were naturally lies.
He just wanted to use these words to deceive people from the temple and then convict them of espionage.
At that time, the outsiders will definitely kneel down and beg for mercy, asking frantically why they did not keep their promise not to harm them.
This kind of plot is more interesting and can bring a sense of excitement to a long life.
As for the consequences of being convicted of espionage, Kunyang people have never been merciful to the men of the "cosmic devil", so that is naturally the most cruel punishment.
If he is a male, he may be banished to the arena and become a relentless war machine for the Kunyang people to watch and enjoy.
It just so happens that the Kunyang Arena has not added a new gladiator for a long time, and the male outsider's figure happens to be relatively powerful, so he should be something to watch.
Of course, even if a gladiator unfortunately dies in battle, the Kunyan people have a way of letting the corpse continue to duel until the broken body can no longer bring any sensory stimulation.
If she is a woman, she will be made into a slave who can only obey orders and can do anything.
In short, in Khasajj's mind, when he first met the two outsiders, he had already weaved the tragic end of each other.
The so-called friendliness is just a sweet lie to deceive outsiders.
Because only in this way can it be regarded as a drama with ups and downs!
"Come on out, we're just kidding you!"
"No one here can hurt you, I guarantee it with my personality!"
Hasaj took the lead in swearing a poisonous oath, which caused the surrounding Kunyang people to laugh faintly, as if to say, "You are the only one who still has personality?"
However, these Kunyang people did not mock out of a sense of justice in their hearts, they simply thought this matter was somewhat funny and a topic that could be made fun of.
In their long lives, the moral system of the Kunyang people has long since collapsed, and their intellectual level has also declined.
Rationalism is retreating rapidly, and the virtues of tolerance and tolerance have gradually evolved into fanatical and indulgent blind obedience.
A new concept spreads rapidly like a plague - no matter how high your morals are and how strong your rationality is, happiness is not the most important thing.
Fooling, abusing, and torturing outsiders is one of the most important sources of happiness.
Originally, Kunyang people were also very keen on acquiring knowledge from the outside world, and could get some happiness from their thirst for knowledge.
However, people in Kunyang gradually discovered that the civilization of human society has been in a state of almost stagnant progress in the past hundred years.
Human beings are still that kind of human beings, just like two ants fighting for a piece of bread crumbs. The low-level interest orientation revealed makes the Kunyang people feel very boring.
They are both ants, so why rush each other?
Therefore, the people of Kunyang taught their highly developed civilization to outsiders who accidentally broke in here, demonstrating the excellence of their own civilization and absorbing foreign knowledge.
But it wasn't until those outsiders made one after another plans to escape from Zatuo that people in Kunyang realized that doing so was meaningless.
Outsiders are still outsiders after all. They can never integrate into them and can only be used as a tool for fun, nothing more.
"Okay! I don't have any more time to wait for you to come out!"
"The final countdown is three. If we don't come out, we will go in by ourselves..."
Hasaj did not lose his patience from this moment on, it was just that he was wary of the idols in the temple just now and did not want to break in easily and offend someone who should not be offended.
The Kunyang people's attitude toward faith is not based on superstition, but on the belief that they really exist.
Turu, Ig, Tsathogua, Shabunikolas, the nameless one...even the "cosmic devil", they all really exist.
Kunyang people worshiped the idols in these temples and held crazy rituals. In addition to venting their infinite energy, they also begged the idols for psychological peace.
As the saying goes, the more you know, the more terrifying it is.
And the one who cannot be named is the brother of Tulu, the wife of Shub-Nicholas, the lord of the deep sky and the sea of stars.
Unless it is particularly necessary, no Kunyan person would dare to invade his temple through virtualization, even if it is underground far away from the light of Aldebaran.
"three--"
"two--"
"one!"
When the countdown ended, Khasajj had no choice but to make a bold move and ordered the invasion of the Temple of the Unspeakable.
Forcing him to commit such an offensive act made Khasajj secretly determined to punish these outsiders with the harshest criminal law.
But at this moment, the heavy door slowly rose, opening a dark opening in the temple.
Seeing this, Khasajj sneered and mocked in Spanish, "You figured it out..."
However, this still could not change his idea of imposing capital punishment on the two of them.
"Come out and let me see you."
Khasajji smiled jokingly, he had completely stopped acting.
But the next second, something came out of the dark opening, frightening all the Kunyang people, including him, who were ready to watch the show.
A yellow silk robe is attached to a majestic figure that is more than two meters tall, and his domineering majesty and terror shock everyone around him!
