"What's that?"

Chi Chuan and Ming Ke were slightly stunned, and looked at each other in a bit of a daze.

They wouldn't be surprised if this came out of other people's mouths, because human beings are always in awe of the unknown.

But the other party is different, he is an old scholar, or a top expert in history, it is inevitable to say this in a grand manner...... Isn't there a suspicion of misleading people's children?

"I know what you're thinking. ”

After Weng Si smiled bitterly, he said: "There is a giant in the academic world who once said that the end of science is theology, and this sentence also caused a great sensation at that time, and even in the more than 100 years after his death, there are still people arguing about it......

"I'm not talking about ordinary people, they're all well-known scholars or scientific research experts who have a unique understanding.

"Frankly, I was skeptical of this statement as well, but now, I believe it. ”

Ikekawa listened thoughtfully.

For he remembered that there seemed to be a man on earth who had said this.

Is the thing he crossed enough to be divine?

Mingke, on the other hand, frowned, remembered some of the other party's previous words, and asked, "Professor Wengs, you said before that you have done a lot of research and found some incredible things, what is it?"

This is the evidence that I agree with this statement. ”

With that, Wence made a gesture of waiting and took another picture from his portfolio, but it was larger.

"Look at this. ”

Mingke raised his hand and took it.

is a photograph of a book page.

But that's not the point, the point is that there is a simple but visually striking picture on the page.

The painting depicts a creature covered in armor, standing and walking, with long arms, crooked fingers, and a stout tail that resembles the length of its body.

Mingke's eyes widened and widened.

Ikekawa next to him was the same, and said in surprise: "Professor Wengs, this painting ......."

"Like?"

"Like!" replied in unison.

It's so similar, this painting is almost exactly the same as the one in the photo just now, in terms of the main features.

It comes from a very off-theotypical theological work, The Land of the Gods, which was codified by a very small religion, Syramun, whose author is unknown.

"According to the book, in the primeval period before the birth of human beings, the land under our feet was a sacred land, where various gods lived, and the one you see on the paper is one of them, called the Nihu Gods. ”

Ikekawa and Mingke looked at each other as they listened.

"Taikoo?" Mingke wondered.

He had heard of "antiquity", even "antiquity", but it was the first time he had heard anyone say that.

Ikekawa side-eared.

He has been in this world for a while, and most of his understanding of this world comes from Lao Hu, according to Lao Hu, human history is only a few thousand years, so the title of "Taigu" is a little far away, right?

The Cretaceous era, more than 100 million years ago on the other side of the earth, where dinosaurs lived, was only described as "ancient".

"The human beings you know...... How long is civilization?" Wence asked in seemingly non-conformist terms.

Chikawa simply didn't speak, he would definitely lose too much in this kind of matter.

"Civilization? doesn't it mean 5,000 years?"

Mingke subconsciously replied, "When I was studying, I learned, human history first originated from the Hiszas, and the Hiran language that we use now is constantly evolving from the Hisza people's writings, and it is also the earliest time they created what discipline and season, recorded events in the Hisza language, and so on." ”

Weng Si showed a look of surprise, and then shook his head and said: "Look at your usual few historical readings other than textbooks, in fact, human civilization has long been proven from some unearthed antiquities, far more than five thousand years.

"It's just that 5,000 years ago, an apocalyptic catastrophe brought about the near-extinction of mankind, and only the Hisza people survived in an unimaginable way, and civilization can be said to be directly broken. Because the previous history is difficult to verify...... Or rather, it has not yet been studied, so textbooks only tell about nearly 5,000 years of history. ”

"Doomsday Havoc?" said Minke with an exaggerated expression.

He had never heard of it.

"It's about the same as now?" Ikekawa asked.

"I'm afraid it's even worse than it is now. ”

"The only thing that can be found in current research is that the earth's crust has definitely moved, and natural disasters such as high-intensity earthquakes and tsunamis have erupted around the world, and some original cities have sunk to the bottom of the sea, and the original seabed has become land. As for how it was caused, there are different opinions in the academic community, but no one has been able to come up with strong evidence.

But aside from this, with the advancement of science and technology in modern times, a lot of important information has been obtained from some antiquities unearthed one after another. At least now there is a consensus in the academic community that there are 5,000 years of civilization before the Hisza civilization.

That is to say, human civilization has actually existed for 10,000 years, and the academic community lists 1,000 years as an epoch, for a total of ten epochs.

"And before the birth of human civilization, there was a period when humans also existed, but they were no different from the blood-drinking beasts, which the academic community called 'antiquity'.

"Ancient times are ancient times, when human beings were not born and the world was occupied by some large animals...... It's all well documented, and now you can still see the fossils or remains of animals that are basically extinct when you go to some of the most important museums and science museums.

"Further up, it's primeval. It's a much longer period, maybe billions of years long, and we don't know what happened in the primeval period, but you can only imagine that you've heard some myths, and that's people's fantasies about primeval history.

However, what I never expected was that Syramun's "Land of the Gods" has always been considered by the academic community to be a fantasy work, but ...... On that day, the Protoss described in the book stood in front of my eyes in such a grand manner. ”

Ikekawa was silent, he could probably understand the inner shock of Professor Wence at that time.

I guess it's about the same as when I realized the crossing.

Ming Ke couldn't speak with his mouth open, and suddenly felt like he had lived to a dog for 26 years, and he didn't know anything about what kind of world he lived in.

"I've been thinking for a long time, how can an otherwise normal human being become a ...... Why does the monster in the popular aesthetic concept of the public just match the description in the religious code.

"Then combined with the catastrophe caused by this strange plague, I came up with an answer that even I felt was ridiculous, but I couldn't argue and disprove it. ”

"What?" Ikekawa asked busily.

Wence glanced up at him and asked, "Those ...... out there?" What are their characteristics?"

Isn't that knowingly asking.

Ikekawa said casually, "Become intellectually low, bloodthirsty and irritable, and tend to be more like beasts, or the kind of hairy and blood-drinking humans you just mentioned. ”

"And what do we call them?"

“...... Atavists. ”

My answer is here. ”

Wence raised his hand and nodded on the small photo on the table, "Her mutation is actually an atavistic phenomenon, but she is very special, ordinary humans under this strange plague, the savages who have returned to their ancestors to drink blood have come to an end."

"But she is different, her genetic code is much older, beyond the ancients, the ancients, all the way to the primeval. Because she has the blood of the so-called primeval god clan flowing in her body, she can mutate into such an existence!

"Just this one explanation.

"Although there are still many doubts in this, such as how the primeval gods combined with humans, it stands to reason that they ceased to exist long ago when humans appeared. However, no assumptions or inferences can be reconciled beyond that.

"If, I mean, if I can meet another being like this, and it happens to correspond to the content of 'Land of the Gods', then this answer can be qualitatively qualified. ”

After he said this, his eyes flashed with hope.

"Well, look at her. ”

At this moment, a faint voice came.

Poof!

Wence was startled and fell straight from the back chair.

Ming Ke wanted to get up and help, but he was obviously fine, not only that, but his face was even more excited to the point of redness, and he was also a little afraid. Marley got up from the ground, his eyes fixed on the little brain that had been plucked into the big flower hat.

"This, this, this ......"

"Rest assured, she won't attack you. Chikawa smiled kindly, "Can you see if she can match the number?"

"Yes!"

Well?

"She is!" said Wense.

"Does she still have a tail with a triangular tip?"

Ikekawa's eyes brightened, "That's right!"

"Haha...... If that's the case, they're really Gus!"

Weng Si suddenly burst out laughing, so excited that the blue tendons on his wrinkled forehead were exposed, and looking at Yo You was like seeing a rare treasure.

"Ancients?" Minke wondered.

"That's right, that's what I've thought of for a long time, don't you think it's very appropriate to call them. Wence clenched his fists and said, "I knew my reasoning was correct!"

In this way, he was still a little sensible, and he did not believe the description of the gods in that book.

"Don't you even need to look up that book?" said Ikekawa, surprised.

"No!"

After Weng Si took a deep breath, his eyes were still not far from Youyou, and he said in a significantly elevated tone: "Succubus clan, the first born with black horns, with a small spiritual tail, born female, reproduced of the same sex, recorded on the first page of "The Land of All Beings"!"

The first page, it looks very powerful, but ...... What the hell is same-sex reproduction?

Chi Chuan didn't know whether to laugh or mourn for Yo-Yo for three seconds - she might not be able to find a partner.

"So it's the most powerful?"

"Well, it's hard to say, the book doesn't indicate that it was written by power ranking. ”

Chi Chuan couldn't help pouting, and said in his heart, why are you so excited, make me happy in vain.

"But...... It's certainly not a simple ethnic group, after all, it's introduced on the homepage. ”

Chi Chuan thought a little more in his heart and asked, "What else does the book say...... By the way, what about the book, can you lend it to me?"

"It's gone. ”

“......”

I said, Professor, you seem quite reliable, how can such an important book be dropped?!

As if noticing Chi Chuan's somewhat depressed expression, Weng Si laughed dryly and said, "I don't want to, but I can't help it, you think about it, I'm an old bone, it's a miracle that I can run here from Langting City." ”

It seems to make some sense.

"Is this book easy to do, like in the library?" Ikekawa asked again.

"It's not good, it's definitely not in the library. I had to risk my life to run back to the Longting Institute of History to try my luck to find it, and I didn't even have it in our Pulin Institute, because I didn't think it was worth researching before. ”

“...... How much do you remember from the book?"

"It's not much, I remember the succubus clan mainly because it's at the beginning, and the appearance is quite ...... Ahem. You also know that when you get older, you tend to be forgetful. ”

I said, Professor, you're a bit of a pit, my curiosity is all lifted, and you don't have anything to ...... Ikekawa smiled wryly.
