The compass was exposed again, the upper Vermilion Bird, the lower Xuanwu, the right green dragon, the left white tiger, the sixty rune-engraved scales and the thick hands in the middle, giving people the feeling of a giant's watch, only the strap was lost.

And its material, Li Zi'an became more and more suspicious that it was made of metal extracted from the patina-colored rock, but he couldn't find the similarities between the two.

"Tell me about it. Li Zi'an said.

"I found the compass under the floor of a church according to a hint left by my father, along with a notebook left by my father," says Sharna. ”

Li Zi was relieved: "Can I take a look at that notebook?"

"I'll show you. ”

Sharna stood up, rummaging through the wooden crate.

Li Zi'an, who was sitting opposite her, inevitably faced the snowy mountains, and the ravine was covered with snow, which was tempting reverie.

Li Zi'an hurriedly lowered her gaze and looked down to see her hand looking for something in the wooden box.

Suddenly, something flew over and smashed into his head.

He looked up, only to be greeted by an avalanche.

At the foot of the mountain, he really doubted that he would be buried by the rushing snow hills.

Without waiting for Li Zi'an to bow her head or close her eyes and wait for death, Sharna exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly turned around.

The goddess of snow struck and saved the avalanche.

Li Zi'an also saw something hit his head, it was a plastic button, it had just settled on the coffee table.

"I ...... I'm going to change my clothes. Sharna ran to a room.

Li Zi'an smiled bitterly, he didn't recruit anyone to provoke anyone, he was such an upright and kind person, why did he let him be hurt like this?

He wanted to find the notebook himself, but the wooden box contained a lot of personal belongings, and he gave up thinking about it.

That's rude.

Sharna soon returned, wearing a denim jacket with zippers and pulling them high.

The previous mountains and ravines are gone, only the outline remains, but even if it is just the outline, it is a majestic outline.

Sharna pulled out a notebook wrapped in an oilcloth from the box, and sat down next to Li Zi'an. She carefully opened the tarpaulin and handed the notebook to Li Zi'an.

The notebook is a cowhide cover, and the wear is a little serious, and it looks like an old object at first glance.

Li Zi'an opened it casually, and it was handwritten in English, which immediately stumped him. It was difficult for him to read printed English, let alone write it by hand.

"Well, I'm not good at English, so tell me what's written in it. Li Zi'an handed the notebook back to Sharna.

"Then I'll say it has something to do with this compass. Sharna said.

Li Zi'an nodded.

Sharna flipped to a page and pondered for a moment before reciting it: "Are we the only ones? It seems that yes, no one has come to Earth as a guest, and humanity will not be able to leave the solar system even if all the resources of the earth are exhausted by the strength and wisdom of the entire race, and our fate seems to be predestined. However, this is not absolute, I have always felt that there is another possibility, we are not alone, we have neighbors......"

Her Chinese level is really high, and her words are quite accurate, but Li Zi'an has a trace of doubt in her heart, what does what she said has to do with this compass? However, he still showed enough patience to just listen and did not interrupt her recitation.

"By chance, I was looking for mineral samples in Tianzhu West Xinbang and entered a cave, and there were many strange murals in that cave, with huge animals, strange buildings, and samurai in battle armor, slender and well-proportioned women without clothes, and even popping content......"

I don't know why, when chanting here, Sharna glanced at Li Zi'an.

Li Zi'an had an innocent expression on his face.

What do you see me doing?

If you just read two sentences, should I have some exaggerated reaction?

Sharna continued: "Mankind has a history of cave civilizations for millions of years, and there are many relics of cave civilizations all over the world, and I have encountered several caves when I was looking for minerals in the field, but I have never seen such murals. The end of the cave civilization was the period when human beings transitioned to the agricultural civilization of the great rivers, and even the human beings in that period only wore animal skins to protect themselves from the cold, and did not master the technology of weaving, but there were armor, weapons, and architectural ...... on the murals."

"I wondered if this was painted by later generations, but I took a sample of a rock engraved with a mural and took it back for testing, and I found that it was really a mural at the end of the cave civilization, which is more than a million years old now, and it was not painted by a descendant at all. I was shocked and curious, and I couldn't help but wonder if it was more than a million years ago that an artistic genius appeared in this cave and painted the world more than a million years later with his imagination......"

Although it had nothing to do with the compass, Li Zi'an was still fascinated by the story, and as Sharna recited, the picture she described also appeared in his mind.

Ancient caves, ancient frescoes, fossilized skeletons, and venomous snakes lurking in the crevices of the rocks.

His imagination is also rich.

What was more embarrassing was that the cave that his brain had built was on a snowy mountain with a very special shape, which was very similar to the one he had seen before.

"Because of the murals, I neglected my work and I started exploring the cave. I also hired some locals who dug up a lot of fossilized bones from the cave. Cave civilizations usually divide the cave into two layers, the upper layer is inhabited by people, and the lower layer buries the dead, the more bones of the dead, which means that the cave has more population, and the longer it lasts, and the bones dug out of this cave are piled up into a bone tower......"

"The fossilized bones didn't satisfy me, and I wanted to find the root of the frescoes, but something strange happened. One night, a worker went insane, and he attacked his countrymen, even his brothers. He wasn't a man in disguise, but for some reason, he suddenly had extremely powerful powers, he could knock people away with one punch, and his eyes turned green, like cat's eyes at night......"

Li Zi'an was stunned.

He had been waiting for Sharna to read the compass, but this was what he was waiting for.

An intuition also popped up in his heart, that is, the person who suddenly went insane was infected by the mysterious biological virus on the body of Queen Jingwu, and the description described by Sharna's father was very similar to the situation when Kang Haichuan was infected!

When he was in the new land, he still thought that the mysterious creature virus was thousands of years old, but Sharna's father described it as a million years ago. He thought to himself that his imagination was quite rich, but he was pale in the face of this matter.

He killed several people and ran away, and was shot dead by local police that night, with dozens of shots in his body and his body set on fire. Locals say that he is under the control of evil spirits and that his body must be burned. I paid a lot of money for this matter, and all the workers I hired did not do it, saying that the cave was cursed, and whoever entered it would bring bad luck......"

"I talked to the diggers, and they told me that the slain worker was digging up a skeleton before the accident. I asked the workers what was different about the bones, but they couldn't tell. I thought, I'm going to have to go see the skeleton. Besides, I put in a lot of time and money for that cave, and I don't want to give it ......up."

In Sharna's description, Li Zi'an has a bit of an immersive feeling.

"One night I went into the cave again and came to the big pit that the workers had dug up. They had already dug deep, at least seven or eight meters deep, and they took the ladder, and I slid down with a rope tied around my waist. I saw the skeleton, it only showed the head and part of the shoulder......"

"On the surface, it's really nothing special. The tools that the workers had left at the bottom of the pit were still there, and I took a shovel to dig. I was actually scared, I was afraid that I would be cursed like that, beaten to death, and then burned. But another voice in my heart kept saying to me, there must be something, there must be something......"

"There really was something, and when it dug up the arm of the bones, it was holding a compass in its hand. At the time, I thought it was a bronze compass, but I don't know what it was. I cleaned it up, I thought it was something of the Eastern civilization, I knew something about the Eastern civilization, I knew that they had a compass for divination, but then I checked the information and found out that it was not ......"

"I took the skeletal palm with me, and I asked my friend to do a test and determined that he was a cave man more than a million years ago. This made me puzzled, how could man have a beautifully crafted compass in his hand more than a million years ago, when he was still hunting with stones......?

"The next time, I started to study the compass, and I consulted many experts, but to no avail. I'm sure the compass is empty in the middle and there should be something in it, but it can't be opened. I don't know into using it, it's a mystery. Until one day, I got a strange phone call......"

Sharna flipped through it, but instead of reciting it, she reached out and picked up the glass of water she had poured for Li Zi'an and took a sip.

Li Zi'an was a little anxious: "You go on, what did that phone call say?"

Sharna's gaze fell on the notebook, and she continued: "He speaks a strange language that I don't understand. I recorded the call and then went to the relevant experts to translate. Some time later, the recording of the call was translated, and the translation was ......"

She picked up her cup again and took a sip of water.

Li Zi'an was hung up on his appetite, but he could only be in a hurry.

"The research you're doing is dangerous, that history should be buried in the dust, you're going to die, you're going to be buried. Time can't bury our footprints, and those who are lost will eventually find their way back to their hometown. Covered in green smoke, the way home is long. ”

Li Zi'an was stunned for a moment.
