Chapter 1408: A Cycle
Cecil. Rhodes, a man who no longer exists, is outwardly the former head of the Torchwood African-African distribution, and secretly the founder of another, more secret organization within the Torchwood.
The Brotherhood of Falsehood, which he founded with others who know the truth of the world, is their famous phrase for nothing, and everything can be true.
Cecil. Rhodes volunteered to be appointed to the Torchwood branch in Africa, and for this reason he did not hesitate to give up his appointment to become a senior member of the Torchwood headquarters, all because of an ancient manuscript in his possession.
The manuscript comes from the descendants of a governor from the distant colonial era, who was implicated in a Chaos Erosion event. Rhodes was the agent who dealt with the erosion at the time.
The Doge's descendant is not the worshipper who caused the Chaos Erosion event, but rather a hapless lover of mysteries who strayed into the lair of the Chaos Worshippers, only to be dismembered and become another victim on the altar.
Then when the erosion event broke out, it attracted the removal of the torchwood, so the existence of the descendant of the governor did not attract the attention of the torchwood at all, and the ordinary people who were implicated in the chaos erosion event every year were countless, and the torchwood itself took the initiative to clean up the suspicious associates in order to ensure the safety of the world, and no one cared about the existence of such a small role.
Maybe it's fate, Cecil. Rhodes was sorting through the victim's belongings when he saw the manuscript, which detailed how the colonist, as the governor of a land, discovered a bottomless cave on the continent of Africa, and found a mineral deposit near the cave.
Cecil. Rhodes's first thought at the time was that the unfortunate guy's ancestors were lucky enough to find a vibranium vein, but the record in the manuscript turned around and recorded that the governor sent a team of twelve people to explore the cave, and the exploration team traveled like a cave, the depth of the cave was far beyond their imagination, and after going twelve kilometers deep into the cave, the exploration team took the initiative to return to the surface, and they used up all the lighting.
The second expedition soon began again, this time the governor ordered the most advanced battery lights at the time, a small team of seven people with enough batteries entered the cave, but it was gone, and the subsequent rescue team entered the cave and found the traces left by the exploration team twenty kilometers deep underground, but no one wanted to move on.
The Governor did not continue the adventure, but the locals began to rumor that the cave was a passage to Hell, and the Governor had to blow up the entrance to the cave.
Cecil. Rhodes kept the manuscript as some kind of interesting antique, and the Torchwood agents had more or less minor privileges, and this kind of greed for the victim's personal belongings happened from time to time, after all, these things could never be returned to the victim's family, as long as it was determined that it had nothing to do with Chaos, no one would dig into it.
The agents of the Anti-Chaos Division are under a lot of pressure and death is everywhere, but they also have plenty of personal time to dilute this pressure with their own personal hobbies. Rhodes's personal hobby was to collect antiques and paintings that were not very expensive, which is why he kept his own collection of old manuscripts.
Intrigued by the story, Cecil began to pay attention to the news of the governor, and at an auction he bought a collection of colonial objects related to the governor, a rare original photograph of all the white governors of Africa at the time.
Cecil found the Governor whose descendants had died in the Chaos Erosion Event, a bearded man with the piercing eyes of a colonial governor, who, despite the age and blurriness of the photographs, could still feel the violentness with which the Governors in the photographs treated human life as if they were a mustard.
But what really attracted Cecil was the metal badge pinned to the governor's clothes, and he used torch wood technology to repair the damaged part of the photograph, and he was trembling with a partial enlargement of the metal badge.
Cecil. Rhodes has seen that badge!
At that time, the deep space colonization program had just begun, and the colonization ships and deep space warships were still on the design drawings, but there had been a vigorous discussion among the people, and the selection of the forerunners, the naming of the ships, and even the design of the precursor badge had already taken the lead.
The metal badge on the Governor's body is the most advanced of all the EU Forerunner Badge Design Contests!
Cecil. Rhodes remembers this badge so well because it was designed by him, and he hand-drew the badge made of simple lines in his spare time and submitted it anonymously to the selection competition.
At that moment, Cecil. Rhodes began to feel that fate might really exist, otherwise how could such a coincidence happen.
As time passed, Cecil survived the mission, and his familiar colleagues died one by one, but he still remembered the governor in Africa, and the cave where he was hidden.
Cecil gave up his chance at the headquarters and chose to go to Africa as the head of the branch, using his power to gather information about the governor and secretly search for the location of the cave.
Things went very well, and it went smoothly for Cecil. Once again, Rhodes felt like fate had it, and he took another leave of absence to find the buried cave during his trip to find information about the Governor's past.
This meant that his actions would not be recorded by the Torchwood Branch, and combined with his identity and usual careful manner, the existence of the cave was a secret to him.
Since arriving in Africa, his car has been loaded with everything he needs, a full-coverage exoskeleton armor, enough battery packs to run on its own for years, endless food, fresh water, and oxygen.
Cecil barely hesitated, dressed and walked into the cave that had been reexposed by the war.
The cave was deep, very deep, Cecil's recorder showed that he was going all the way down, the slope was gentle, there were few turns along the way, a straight road, no traces of excavation were visible, but nature would never have formed such caves.
Twenty-one kilometers deep into the cave, he found the traces of the second expedition recorded on the manuscript, the bones of three humans, and the handwriting on the walls, which was indecipherable due to the passage of time, which were not recorded in the manuscript.
One of the skeletons also had a metal badge in his hand, and Cecil gently picked up the badge, the same badge he had designed, and the metal badge was engraved with the words: "Abigail. Danvis, glorious forerunner, the path under your feet is the hope of mankind. ”
