Chapter 0653: A Chicken's Fate
The notch on the ancient alloy box looks ordinary and ordinary, just a hole formed by one missing part. However, Xia Lei once put a gel pen in it, and the result was quite terrifying. It's right in front of you, and there's no movement, but it's still full of mystery and awe.
"Emptiness is not the sky, there is no distance. Time is not time, it is a thousand years. The traveler comes from a distant time and space, the sky is not an obstacle for him, and time cannot wear out his body. He was looking for a starting point, but he was lost in the dark world. He's about to forget about himself, the only one who can ......"
Xia Lei was still thinking about this sentence in his mind, and the glimmer of inspiration that had appeared and appeared in his mind before became clearer and clearer.
A few minutes later, Xia Lei found a screwdriver and carefully placed it into the gap in the ancient alloy box.
The last time he stuffed a gel pen into an ancient alloy box, this time he planned to do it with something stronger.
The screwdriver is longer than the ancient alloy box, but the gap in the ancient alloy box seems to be a bottomless pit, and the screwdriver can't poke it to the bottom after entering.
When there was still one last bit left in the handle of the screwdriver, Xia Lei slammed the screwdriver into the ancient alloy box, and then quickly withdrew his hand. The screwdriver vanished, and this time he felt a ripple of energy in the gap. The glimmer of energy fluctuated quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye, so fast that he was not sure that it was real.
Charley didn't dwell on the question, and his gaze moved to his watch. It was exactly a second before he put the screwdriver in, and he remembered the time.
Tick, tick, tick......
After the second hand moved fifty-nine times, a wave of energy was suddenly released in the void. Immediately, the screwdriver that had just disappeared appeared. It floated silently above the void, as if it were supported by an invisible tray. It was covered in rust, and even the plastic on the handle was gone, and it was no longer visible. It feels as if it has spent a thousand years in the wind and sun.
The screwdriver fell on the workbench, and although it didn't turn into a pile of powder, it looked only a tenth of its original size when the rust was broken, and it was crooked, not smooth at all.
Although he had already tried this several times, Xia Lei's heart was still full of fear. When a screwdriver goes in, nine-tenths of the way turns into rust, and even the plastic handles disintegrate, which is obviously thousands of years of time! If a living person goes in and comes out, it won't be a pile of bones.
However, the inspiration that Xia Lei thought of just now was to enter the ancient alloy box to find out!
Emptiness is not the sky, there is no distance. Time is not time, it is a thousand years. Isn't the scene described in this sentence the experiment that has just been done? The screwdriver disappeared from the ancient alloy box, but appeared out of the void again, and the sky was no longer the sky, it had no distance. And time, when the screwdriver enters the ancient alloy box for a minute, and then emerges from the void, it has already undergone thousands of years of weathering, and this phenomenon also responds to the saying that time is not time, and it is a thousand years in a flash.
The traveler comes from a distant time and space, the sky is not an obstacle for him, and time cannot wear out his body. It seems that someone has entered the world inside the ancient alloy box through this passage, but time has not worn away his body.
He was looking for a starting point, but he was lost in the dark world. This phrase seems to say that the person is looking for something, but is lost in the dark world. This dark world seems to be understood as the world inside an ancient alloy box. Princess Nagami once described that the world inside the box was pitch black, there was nothing, and it was very cold. Her description is also evidence in disguise.
These were all analyzed and understood by Xia Lei according to Tranquility's words, and he felt that such analysis and understanding had reached the level of eight or nine inseparable. However, Serenity did not finish speaking. The last sentence that Tranquility said was "He almost forgot about himself, the only one can", that is, this sentence made him scratch his head, and he couldn't understand its meaning.
"Anyway, I've finally found a clue, so I'm sure I'll give it a try. Charley turned and left the underground lab.
Ten minutes later, Xia Lei returned to the lab, with an extra plastic bag in his hand, containing a cicada and a cricket. He caught it in the green belt outside the villa. There was also an unslaughtered live chicken he had brought from the cafeteria, but instead of a plastic bag, he carried it in his other hand.
"Cluck, cluck......" the live chicken kept croaking.
The chicken's brain is very simple, and I don't know if it's scared.
The live chickens did not die immediately when they entered the underground lab, and there were no signs of madness. However, crazy chicken, I'm afraid there are few people in this world who have really seen it, right?
Xia Lei was in the mood to study the reaction of live chickens exposed to the energy field of the ancient alloy, and after returning to the laboratory, he grabbed the cicada out and carefully stuffed it into the gap in the ancient alloy box with tweezers.
A minute later, energy fluctuations appeared in the void above the ancient alloy box, but instead of a cicada, a little gray-black fine gray appeared.
Then Xia Lei put the cricket in again. The result was the same, a minute later the void appeared not a single cricket, but a little less fine ash.
Obviously, crickets and cicadas simply can't withstand the weathering of thousands of years, and when they come out, they all turn to ashes. There is no way to know how long the crickets and cicadas have been in the world inside the box, but on the outside, they can see the results in a minute, and life and death are also broken.
After a moment's pause, Charlei grabbed the live chicken and carefully shoved it into the gap in the ancient alloy box.
The volume of the chicken is larger than the entire ancient alloy box, and it is many times larger, but the strange thing is that the gap is like a real black hole, and the energy field of any object entering it is changed and compressed, so that when the whole chicken is put in, the chicken does not touch the ancient alloy box. It gives the impression that not to mention a chicken, even if it is a car in it, it is not a problem. Because any object trying to enter the gap triggers a mysterious energy field, which, when triggered, opens like the bell mouth of a funnel, allowing larger objects to fit in.
Xia Lei didn't try to fit how big the gap in the ancient alloy box was, but he guessed that if he wanted to get in, he would definitely be able to.
The void shuddered for a moment, and then a pile of chicken bones fell, along with fine ash. The chicken bones fell on the workbench and fell directly into dust, and there was not even a single intact bone left.
Before making these three attempts, Xia Lei still had an idea, which was to venture into the space inside the box and give it a try. But now he flinched again. There is only one life, and although it is possible to see the truth after entering, if it is at the cost of his life, he would rather not have this truth.
At the end of the attempt, Xia Lei fell into deep thought again, "Fan Fan's words are obviously a reminder to let people in, but who dares to go in in this situation? But if you don't go in, this clue is meaningless, hey......"
With a sigh, I finally found a clue, but I didn't expect it to stagnate again.
Jingle bells, jingle bells......
Xia Lei's mobile phone rang suddenly, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and then slid the answer button, "Zhengnan, let's say, what's the matter?"
"Lu Sheng went to the office to look for you, you are not there, I asked him, and he said that a few Germans came to see you. I told him that I came to contact you, and he was still waiting for a reply, do you want to let those Germans in?"
"How many Germans?" Xia Lei frowned, "Did Lu Sheng ask the other party's identity and purpose again?"
The voice of Liu Zhengnan talking to someone else came from the mobile phone, and then the voice became clear again, "Brother, I just asked, Lu Sheng said that he was a German ambassador who came before, named Philip, and his assistant was a woman named Aelita." There was also a woman whose name he didn't know...... Well, very young. ”
"I see, I'll come right over. Xia Lei said: "Zhengnan, you ask Lu Sheng to let people in, and then bring people to my office." ”
"Got it, brother. Yoo hung up the phone.
The corners of Xia Lei's mouth couldn't help but show a smile. This is the first time that Xia Xue is not by Liu Zhengnan's side, and Liu Zhengnan calls him brother. This shows that the relationship between Liu Zhengnan and Xia Xue has developed to the level of "half a family". Liu Zhengnan has a very good personality and ability, and more importantly, he saw it on his last trip to Germany that Liu Zhengnan is a person who values love and righteousness. Xia Xue is with Liu Zhengnan, and he, who is an older brother, is also relieved.
However, the smile on Xia Lei's lips quickly disappeared. The Reimaa Arsenal had just completed a full upgrade, and the Cerberus individual artillery had just been introduced, and the Germans came to the door again. The so-called those who come are not good and those who are good do not come, this time Philip is probably ordered by the German government, right?
After a few moments, Xia Lei put everything away and put it in the safe.
"Young German woman? Lu Sheng doesn't know, that's obviously not Anina, maybe a German agent, or a government worker, right?"
Before she reached the office building, Xia Xue ran over and said from afar: "Brother, tell you something." ”
"What's the matter?" Xia Lei said with a smile, "Shouldn't I be asked to prepare a dowry for you?"
Xia Xue's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she slapped Xia Lei's arm coquettishly, "Brother, we, we...... We're not there yet. ”
"Don't lie to me, Zhengnan has changed his name to call me brother, which means that you are already discussing when you will get married, right? Say, it doesn't matter, my Xia Lei married his sister, and there must be a dowry of one billion and eight billion. Xia Lei's mood changed again.
"I won't tell you. Xia Xue was not able to resist Xia Lei's ridicule, turned around and ran.
Xia Lei said: "Didn't you say that you would tell me something? Why did you run away again?"
Xia Xue stopped, "Ouch, I forgot, it's all you!"
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Today I received a package that was sent to the school, and I made a special trip to the school to pick it up. ”
"That's it?" said Xia Lei, a little strange.
Xia Xue said: "It's not an ordinary package, it's a ...... inside."
Before Xia Xue could finish speaking, a man's voice in German suddenly came from above her head, "Mr. Xia, I'm here again." How long are you going to keep me waiting up there?"
Xia Xue looked up and saw the German ambassador Philip.
Xia Xue said: "Brother, you go to business first, and I'll talk to you when you're busy." ”
Xia Lei thought for a moment and advised: "Don't touch the contents of the package, and bring the package to my office later." ”
"yes, I see. Xia Xue jumped and ran away.
