Chapter 657: The Mysterious Ancient Book (3)
There is no doubt that the two men, who were busy deciphering the contents of the ancient parchment book, did not notice what terrible commotion was taking place outside, and immersed themselves in a state of self-forgetfulness, until it was completely dark, and they were awakened by a wave of weariness and hunger.
"Damn, what time is it?" Craig looked up and glanced out the window at the dark sky.
"Half-past nine, Professor, I think we'd better go out and get some food now, and then get some good sleep, and continue tomorrow." Mansha looked at her watch and offered to suggest.
After all, as a young girl, her gastrointestinal digestion is far better than that of an elderly person in her seventies, and it is also more difficult to endure hunger. In addition, the food at noon is indeed a little small, and I was already dizzy more than two hours ago, so I finally persevered until now.
Craig reluctantly closed the ancient book cautiously and nodded slightly: "Okay." But the book must be kept by me, and I will never allow it to be out of sight until I have finished reading it. ”
"I don't have a problem, Professor, don't bother, or the cafeteria in front of the school will really be closed. The hungry Mansa obviously didn't want to waste too much time, so she agreed straightforwardly.
Craig, however, was obviously a little uncomfortable about leaving such an important item in a school building guarded by only a few security guards, and tucking the entire book into a suitcase in a plastic foam protective suitcase.
After a while, the two of them walked out of the campus area, went to a common fast food restaurant nearby, ordered some hamburgers, fries, hot dogs, chicken nuggets and other things, and ate them in large gulps, while eating and whispering about the problems encountered in the translation process in the afternoon, as well as possible ambiguities.
Unbeknownst to them, a powerful force had cut off the entire restaurant from the outside.
About three to five minutes later, a dazzling bright electric spark burst out from the outside of the restaurant, and then all the electrical equipment was instantly paralyzed, and the glass doors and windows were shattered by the huge force.
Outside the window with broken glass residues, it was no longer UCLA, but a world of flames emitting scorching heat and red magma flowing everywhere.
Almost every second, a heat wave can be seen rising into the sky, making violent vibrations and loud sounds.
"Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!h
The waitress on the night shift was the first to react, letting out a piercing scream comparable to that of a soprano.
The rest of the people didn't get much better, with women, no matter how old they were, almost all following in the footsteps of the attendants and starting to shout at the top of their voices, while others tried to call 911 for help, only to find that there was no signal at all.
As for the men, they were a little calmer, and a bald man with a big waist and a round waist took out a silver large-caliber revolver directly from behind his back, staring nervously at the strange scene outside.
There is no doubt that if it weren't for the heat wave and heat that couldn't be more real, no one would have believed that they were eating at the gate of the university campus a few seconds ago, and then they were in a place that looked like hell a few seconds later.
Mansha held the half-eaten burger in her hand and stared at the hot lava gushing out of the dining room in amazement, and for several minutes she trembled and muttered to herself, "Oh-oh my God......! It's exactly like the third world described in the book!"
"Shhhhh
As an old man who lived through the darkest times of the American twentieth century, he knew better than anyone how horrific ordinary people would behave when they had a sane or mental breakdown in an urban area.
Adult men, in particular, often use violence to vent their fears and insecurities on women.
"That'...... So what do we do now?"
Mansha is not a fool, and immediately noticed several powerful guys among the men in the restaurant, and her eyes revealed strong vigilance, and even subconsciously reached into her backpack and clutched the only "anti-wolf spray" that could provide her with a sense of security.
After all, the United States is at the forefront of the world with an average of more than 80,000 rape cases per year, even if it is a well-known university, it is not much better, so if you don't want to be violated by strangers, carry some non-lethal self-defense weapons, such as anti-wolf spray, small electric shockers, women's pistols, etc., which is common sense in common sense.
"It's easy! We need to find a place where no one is and study the description of the world in that book. Craig replied without thinking.
Although California, where Los Angeles is located, has always been a gathering place for the "white left", various universities have even promoted political correctness to the altar, almost to the point where anyone who dares to offend will die.
Thankfully, the old professor wasn't one of them, and he didn't have the slightest idea of sharing information with the rest of the restaurant.
Because he knew that as soon as he said the contents of the ancient book, the frenzied crowd might rush to snatch it away, and someone would try to destroy it to see if he could go back.
As early as the end of the nineteenth century, the French social psychologist Gustave Le Pen explained in his work on mass psychology "The Rabble" that you should never underestimate people's emotional, undissenting, and low IQ when they fall into groupthink.
At least chimpanzees don't destroy the forests they depend on, but humans who fall into groupthink will frantically destroy farmland, factories and social order, and push themselves into hunger and poverty.
While everyone's attention was drawn to the apocalyptic scene outside, Craig quickly sneaked into the bathroom with Mansha and locked the door, opened the box and took out the ancient book again, and quickly flipped to the corresponding page.
On the yellowed parchment, there was a picture of a world of hot magma gushing from the ground, which was exactly the same as the scenery outside the window at the moment.
The old professor pointed to the small line below and read: "Ikalet, the most powerful spirit of fire, born of the light and heat of the beginning of the world, it is neither good nor evil, but only full of wrath against the gods, who have imprisoned it in eternal prison for the sake of mankind......"
Before Craig could finish the whole sentence, a huge volcano in the distance suddenly began to erupt violently, and the rumbling sound and vibration could be clearly felt even from several kilometers away.
What's even more terrifying is that after the eruption, a creature more than 200 meters tall composed entirely of scorching flames and magma slowly crawled out of the crater.
Its size is so huge that every step it takes causes the ground to collapse badly!
Behind this life, there are countless monsters in the shape of thousands of flames, large and small, charging towards the location of the restaurant......
