In the darkness underground, as they went deeper and deeper, even without any communication, Natsume and An Yichu could see the shock in each other's eyes.
The entire emergency evacuation channel has been infected by an unknown substance. They look a bit like fungi, and a large number of unknown floating spores have been detected in the air. Fortunately, the magical assistant classmates were well prepared, and this prevented Natsume and An from being infected.
Yichu inhaled these unknown spores which could cause fatal injuries.
"There are words here." I don't know how long I have been walking, and I don't know if I am still in the original evacuation channel. The assistant suddenly stopped and pointed to the corner of the wall and said.
Natsume, who was a little upset, turned around and saw a set of strange words in the corner.
They are also composed of those fungus-like substances.
"This world is just a trapped prison. You and I are all the entities of original sin." Natsume frowned after reading this unknown text and said, "These words don't seem to be written by humans?"
An Yichu also saw clearly that the text was indeed not written on it, but was made up of this fungus-like substance, as if someone had spread some honey on the ground and attracted a large number of ants to form the text.
"I've seen a similar plot in a movie before, but this one is a little different," An Yichu said.
"What?"
"I forgot the name, but it seems to be related to a lighthouse." An Yichu said, putting on isolation gloves and trying to collect some text samples to take back.
But the assistant stopped her behavior and reminded: "'Do not blaspheme or touch anything you do not understand', this is a sentence I read in the "Old Testament", so... don't blindly take these things
It’s best to take it back.”
An Yi first glanced at his assistant and put the things down obediently.
Natsume was very curious about who this stern-looking assistant was, and how he could handle even a woman with An Yichu's personality.
The three of them continued downward. The road behind them became narrower and narrower, and the air became more and more humid. Everything in their field of vision seemed to be covered by a thin layer of white gauze. When they reached the place where there was no road, they looked ahead.
In the large open water area, Natsume had a premonition that he had arrived at a place he shouldn't have been.
An Yichu threw a shining exploration ball into the darkness to see what was going on, but the darkness instantly swallowed up the light of the exploration ball like a swamp. An Yichu looked at Natsume in surprise, and then asked:
"what to do?"
In the past, Natsume would definitely not have been stopped by the water in front of him, but now he has lost his sense of mystery and has turned into a sickly man who is weaker than ordinary people. If he is allowed to take risks at this time, he will not
Feeling confident.
"This place doesn't look like the destination of our investigation, so we'd better go back... We must have taken the wrong road." Natsume said and turned to leave.
At this time, there was a whisper in the darkness, as if countless people were laughing at him in the darkness.
Natsume turned around suddenly, only to see nothing on the dark water. Was there anyone there?
An Yichu was frightened by Natsume's actions, and she asked nervously: "What's wrong?"
Natsume frowned and said, "Didn't you hear anything?"
An Yichu concentrated his attention, then shook his head: "No, is there any sound?"
I asked the assistant. The assistant also looked at the water, but he also didn't hear any strange noises. He shook his head and said: "No."
Natsume said with a strange expression: "Maybe I heard it wrong... Let's leave quickly, something doesn't look right about this place."
Natsume didn't need to say this, both An Yichu and his assistant could feel it. However, the three of them were all muttering in their hearts at this time. They obviously walked forward after coming down from an entrance, so why did they end up here like this while walking?
A weird place?
The three of them walked quickly and quickly returned to the place where they found the text. However, there, the steps that were supposed to extend upward disappeared, and instead a step appeared that was obviously exploring deeper.
Natsume felt a little nervous. He asked An Yichu: "I remember we just came down from the top when we got here? Is that right?"
An Yichu nodded. She was surrounded by three sets of recording instruments, recording the entire process.
After extracting the file and checking it, it was determined that the steps here should extend upward, not downward. The assistant walked to the newly appeared steps and said: "The air here feels fresher than other places, maybe there is a way out."
"
After speaking, the assistant walked straight down without waiting for Natsume and An Yichu.
Natsume and An Yichu looked at each other and hurried to follow. At this time, the two of them relied entirely on their reliable assistants, but when the three of them went down the steps, they found that they were back in the silent place where they could not find out the other side of the water.
Near strange waters.
This was really nerve-wracking. Natsume bravely said: "Could it be that you have entered the tomb of an ancient prince? Why did the ghosts break through the wall and come out?"
The mining area is located deep in the mountains, and it is excavated thousands of meters down. It is not uncommon to find some weird things. But who would build a mausoleum thousands of meters deep? This is not in line with the limits of ancient productivity.
It's not scientific either.
Thinking of the fungi-like things they saw covering everywhere along the way, An Yichu frowned and said, "Maybe it's not a royal tomb... but maybe some place more dangerous than that."
Natsume now has no strength and is much less courageous. He shrank his neck and asked: "What about?"
"For example... do you know those 'Dead Sea Gates of Sorrow' found on Lake Don Juan?"
Natsume nodded: "I know a little bit, but they are all officially disclosed and should have nothing to do with what you are going to say."
Indeed, if you only listen to official disclosures, you will at most know that a mysterious door once appeared on the Antarctic continent. According to legend, it should be the "Dead Sea Gate" created and left behind by the forerunners when they explored the unknown territory. As for the
Why it is called "Dead Sea Gate of Sorrow" is mainly related to an allusion in the "Dead Sea Document".
According to legend, as early as the birth of what contemporary humans consider to be human ancestors, there was a group of top intelligent beings with human appearance but a hundred times stronger than modern humans who created a glorious civilization on the earth. These people call the nihilism of wisdom accumulation.
The Dead Sea is the final annihilation of civilization, and the "Dead Sea Documents" specifically refers to a book that records the wisdom of annihilation. The original record was named Yuan. He had transcendent wisdom and excellent practical ability. Over the long period of accumulation, Yuan
His curiosity about the "Dead Sea" grew day by day, and he firmly believed that there must be ancient wisdom to achieve civilizational transcendence on the other side of the "Dead Sea", so he used bricks and stones near the Dead Sea to build a door that could open the passage.
He became the first pioneer to cross the "Dead Sea Gate" and head to the other side of nothingness.
But after the forerunners passed through this door, there was no sign of returning. The only evidence that it had ever been opened was the uninterrupted whimpering and mourning coming from inside the door...
So later generations recorded it in the "Dead Sea Document" based on its shape, and called it the "Dead Sea Gate" or the "Dead Sea Gate of Sorrow".
The "Dead Sea Documents" have always been an unsolved mystery in today's world, and research on its authenticity has completely different opinions and views among top expert groups around the world.
To put it simply, these opinions and views are the "haves" and "have nots" with agnosticism as the point of disagreement.
The party that thinks "yes" feels that the value of this book is so high that it almost exceeds the integration of existing human civilization, but they are unable to substantively reveal the mystery; while the party that thinks "no" clings to it.
Sticking to this point, I insist that this book is a pure ideological figment with no scientific basis at all, and therefore is not worthy of belief and research.
But whether you support the former or the latter, in short, the "Dead Sea Documents" became popular and once became the most popular existing ancient book involving ancient theology and mysticism in the 1980s.
Natsume also loved this book and couldn't put it down. In the past, he often stayed up late to study the obscure sentences in it, and released his thoughts, allowing himself to wander in the fantasy space created by his imagination. Moreover, he also noticed that "Dead Sea Script" is closely related to the classic Grammar
The Sulu style has a certain relevance, especially the four "old gods" who descended on the solar system are vaguely mentioned in the "Dead Sea Script", which gives people a sense of danger, terror, inaccessibility and blasphemous majesty.
Natsume, who had experienced a catastrophe in Xiongan, was now faced with this unknown water. He quickly thought of the "old gods" and those things that cannot be described in detail or whose names cannot be directly spoken to humans.
A powerful existence that was more like a demon than a god. But when he finally mustered up the courage to take a step forward, in just a moment, as a ripple of light slowly moved away, the entire water area was covered with blue.
The fantasy brilliance of color lights up.
At that moment, if his mind hadn't been clear, Natsume would have thought he had entered Alice in Wonderland.
An Yichu and his assistant were also stunned by the sight in front of them.
The originally cramped and low underground space turned into a vast green field in an instant. In the water that was barely above the ankles, the faint blue grass was as soft as a cat's fluff. Subconsciously, An Yichu pinched his face.
, after feeling the pain, she murmured to herself: "I'm not dreaming, am I?"
The assistant was relatively calm. He kept trying to calibrate his position, spatiality and timeline, but found that he could no longer retrieve traces of the past. He really followed Natsume unknowingly to a mysterious place that he had never expected.
Zone. Natsume was stunned for a while before asking: "What's going on..."
An Yichu was also confused. She followed Natsume down originally to find out the cause of the accident, but she didn't expect that it would turn into a fantasy journey.
This kind of story development is no longer out of context, but makes people feel illogical and nonsense. But when the assistant looked back, he realized that all this was not as good as they thought.
The assistant, who showed a surprised expression for the first time, said softly: "Look here."
An Yichu and Xia Mu turned around slowly, and then they also stood there blankly.
I saw a statue as tall as a mountain suspended high on this vast expanse of land. Its body looked like a human and a beast sitting on the ground. Every detail was covered with green grass. It looked like it had grown green.
The hairy tortoise feels very smooth.
"Where is this?" An Yichu muttered to himself.
Natsume shook his head, he was also confused... How could finding out the truth turn into time travel? What secrets are hidden deep underground, and why do they appear here?
No one gave an answer until a head was thrown high and rolled down to Natsume's feet.
Seeing the inexplicable horror on the face of this dead man, Natsume noticed that less than a hundred meters away from them, a group of people were being besieged by some humanoid monsters that felt like stick insects, and this head belonged to them.
For one person.
Subconsciously, Natsume lowered his figure.
An Yichu was more courageous. Instead of being frightened by the head, her face turned pale. Instead, she stood on tiptoes to get a closer look. However, the assistant would not allow her to be so rash. He pushed An Yichu down and followed her.
He pulled out the dagger and entered the combat readiness mode. Natsume was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: 'What a guy! So professional!'
The three of them were fighting here, and the battle in the distance was gradually coming to an end.
By watching this battle, Natsume and the three of them determined two things. First, there were other people in this place, but their equipment seemed to be very advanced, and they did not look like military personnel from any party they were familiar with... Chapter
The second thing is that this sea of grass is not as safe as it seems. On the contrary, it may be full of dangers, just waiting for people who accidentally enter here to accidentally fall into a trap.
After the battle, the human side suffered a tragic victory at the cost of sacrificing half of its personnel. The vast expanse of sea grass that had been cut and dyed red was littered with the corpses of seven or eight unknown monsters. Most of them were dismantled to pieces before being killed.
An Yichu has been silently recording everything here.
But before she could record the clear faces of the armed men, they seemed to have discovered them with vigilance. As the masks fell, the seven surviving armed soldiers quickly moved closer.
An Yichu's expression changed, and Xia Mu said, "Run! Why are you standing there in a daze?" After saying that, Xia Mu took An Yichu's hand and ran away.
The assistants followed closely, but they all underestimated the speed of the armed men. Even though they were wearing full-coverage kinetic armor that looked very bulky, they were walking quickly. The distance of more than 200 meters was just a few seconds in the eyes of these people.
It only takes seconds. So Natsume and An Yichu here were intercepted within twenty meters after escaping.
The assistant reacted very quickly, raised the gun and shot without saying a word!
Natsume didn't even try to stop him. The bullets scattered sparks on the body of the armed soldier who stopped the three of them, but failed to cause any real damage. The other party was stunned at first, then seemed to be irritated, and sneered and stepped forward.
He held down the assistant's head. Seeing this scene, An Yichu was shocked.
Because in her impression, the assistant's reaction speed was one of the best in the world. Not to mention directly holding down his head at close range, ordinary secret service personnel could not even touch his clothes.
But this clumsy-looking big man came over and lifted the assistant up by pressing his head. At this time, An Yichu and Natsume felt a desperate sense of oppression!
This guy is actually over three meters tall!?! Is this still a human?
But considering that the head that flew to Natsume's feet just now was much larger than an ordinary person, Natsume wouldn't find it strange. But if the other party was an enemy, it would be a big deal to Natsume, who had no power to restrain the chicken.
It's so uncomfortable.
The assistant didn't scream when his head was grabbed, and his expression didn't even change much.
He kept trying to fight back with all parts of his body, but to no avail.
The other party's hand was like a huge iron clamp, tightly clamping the assistant's head. When he found that the assistant's head was very hard, he let out a laugh: "So you are not a human being, so what's wrong with you?"
What are you doing with this human skin?"
After saying that, I saw that the man inserted his bare hands into the assistant's abdomen, then grabbed and pulled, and forcibly skinned the assistant!
That scene was so shocking that Natsume almost vomited.
But in the next scene, Natsume was horrified to discover that this assistant was not a human being at all, but a real robot. However, he acted too normal and Natsume could not see through it.
The assistant who was exposed to his true identity was finally completely enraged. His body suddenly disassembled and pieced together again like a python, wrapped around the arm of the three-meter-tall steel warrior. If he were an ordinary person, being entangled by the assistant like this, he would probably
The entire arm had to be peeled off until only the bones were left.
But the Iron Warrior didn't notice it at all. He even thought this transformation was very interesting, so he said to his subordinates: "This process design is very skillful, but this metal material does not look like a product of our era. Why is it like this?"
It's old and not strong at all." As he spoke, the Iron Warrior had already ripped his assistant off his arm and threw him into the sea of grass.
The assistant whose body was torn apart by brute force could barely maintain the normal operation of the mechanical brain. He looked at An Yichu and said: "I'm sorry, I can't protect you anymore."
An Yichu was so frightened that she slowly lifted up her assistant's head with her trembling hands. The iron skull still covered in blood flashed with a green light, which was a signal that the assistant's mechanical brain had entered a dormant state.
Natsume clenched his teeth. If he still had the strength, he might have survived if he fought to the death, but now... Even if he tried his best, it probably wouldn't be enough for him to sneeze.
"Who are you? How could you appear in such a dangerous place?" Unexpectedly, Iron Warrior actually had no ill intentions towards Natsume and the others.
Maybe it was because they saw that Natsume and An Yichu were both mortals with no power to restrain themselves.
Natsume was startled when he heard this and asked: "Who are you? Where are you?"
The other party was stunned for a moment, then was amused: "Three unlucky guys like me, they don't even know how they got here...well...this is a bit difficult to handle..."
