As soon as Zhao Wuji entered the huge chamber, he ran to the center of the sacrificial pit and knelt down, completely unaffected by the outside world.

Seeing that he was fine, everyone shifted their gaze to other areas of the chamber.

When the team entered, they realized that the cave was not very dark, turned off the flashlight to the south, and after a few seconds, it gradually brightened up in the space with a little starlight from the dome.

"Wow, are there gems on the walls? How can it glow? ”

Women like shiny things, not only Xiuxiu, Yuan Fan, Mu Fanqing, but even Gao Xiaoxi, a cold female forensic doctor, rarely shows the side of a little woman, her body rotates, and her mouth can't stop letting out sighs of admiration.

"It's the Stygian Stone." The old man spoke again.

Xiang went south to the old man and helped him to sit down on the stone steps to rest. After this journey all the way, the old man was already a little unbearable.

"Professor Wei, what do you think?"

Yun Tianming glanced at Xiuxiu, and Xiuxiu whispered in his ear: "The old man's name is Wei Hongjun, he is an archaeology professor and a famous geologist in our country. Officer Xiang Nan plays the man's son, and Forensic Doctor Gao is his daughter-in-law. ”

Yun Tianming nodded, and listened carefully to the old man's introduction with the rest of his companions.

"This stone is not a rare thing, it is a meteorite."

"Meteorites? How can a meteorite cause the owner to lose his soul? And why do you have the power of will? Xiang Nan and the others sat next to the professor like curious babies.

Meteorites, also known as "meteorites", are unburned stone, iron, or a mixture of rocky and iron materials that are scattered on the surface of the earth or other planets by cosmic meteors or dust fragments that have left their original orbits outside the earth. ”

"There are also meteorites of other materials, and to be precise, there are a lot of these asteroids or dust fragments in space outside of Earth. The most famous in the solar system is the Kuiper Belt. ”

The old man spoke very slowly, but loudly and authoritatively.

"The Kuiper Belt is a densely populated hollow disk-like region of the solar system near the ecliptic plane beyond Neptune's orbit (about 30 AU from the Sun). The Kuiper Belt hypothesis was first proposed by the Irish-born astronomer Edgeworth. ”

"Most of the asteroids observed by astronomers are mainly iron, but there are also some different materials, and NASA once found an asteroid full of diamonds. Some asteroids will have abundant mineral resources and even the most basic organic life. ”

The old professor looked up and pointed to the twinkling starlight and said, "This huge chamber should be a cavity in the body of a meteorite, and the mystery of Diblon Island is that it often disappears. ”

Yun Tianming and Xiuxiu are the two tour guides of the vast travel company, and they have a lot of information about Diblon Island in their hands, but they know very well that the information told in these materials is almost a forgery, and it is the result of the company's planning and packaging.

Xiuxiu put her hands on her chin and asked puzzledly, "What is the reason for the disappearance of the island?" ”

Wei Hongjun held a thin stone chip in his hand, he found a clean piece of ground, squatted on the ground and drew a picture.

The top half of the island is the part of the island that is exposed to the sea, and the bottom part is hidden in the sea, and the island is in the shape of an irregular mallet, narrow at the top, widest in the middle, and gradually shrinking in the downward extension. It is a bit similar to the spindle used by women for spinning in ancient times. It's just a lot shorter and thicker than that.

The old professor calmly analyzed: "After going to the island, I carefully studied the map of the island, and finally determined that the island is alive. ”

Luo Zhan said in surprise: "Huh? Is the island alive? ”

Such a novel statement immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.

"When I say live, I don't mean that he lives as he lives, but that he can move."

The old professor smiled and continued to educate the curious children. "Originally, this island didn't exist, and an asteroid hit the Earth just in the same area," he said. ”

"After the impact, the bottom seabed formed a high edge and low in the middle, of course, ordinary people can't see it with the naked eye, but in fact, this is what the seabed under this sea area looks like." The professor uses gestures to describe the process of impact.

"That's how craters on the moon are formed."

"For some ingenious reason, the meteorite did not disintegrate in the air after hitting the Earth, but landed directly here to form an island."

"Look." Wei Hongjun took out a map from his bosom again, pointed to the island, and said: "You have also discovered that the four walls of the island are steep and steep, the coast is full of raised reefs, and this sub-island was also formed after that impact. ”

On the seabed, invisible to people at the bottom of the sea, there were sharp bumps all around that pierced Fan Ze's belly.

"Such rock structures were formed by the impact of meteorites."

"How do you explain the fact that islands often disappear?" This time it was Mu Fanqing who asked.

"Do you see this huge chamber?" The old professor gestured with his hand in a large arc, and everyone followed his gaze and looked up.

Due to the light, it is unclear how big the chamber is.

"This chamber should have been inside the meteorite all along, and after the impact, the outer shell of the meteorite shattered, and the seawater poured in, and the whole meteorite began to sink."

The disappearance of the island is an extremely long process, and it is not reasonable that it will not rise again when its internal chambers are completely filled with seawater and sink to the bottom of the sea, which is strange because the island has begun to rise slowly in recent decades.

"My guess is that the internal space of this meteorite is not completely filled with seawater, and it has reached a delicate equilibrium after sinking to a certain position, and it no longer continues to sink, but floats in the sea."

Many people don't know much about it, and they are full of question marks like listening to a book from heaven. If the impact of meteorites on the earth is a sparse and common thing, then the formation of islands is a rare miracle, and now the strange floating activity of islands is even more fantastic.

"This area was originally a monsoon earthquake-prone zone, and the earth's interior was frequently active, and earthquakes and crustal compression caused the bottom seabed to rise, and the island slowly rose."

When the island rises, the seawater in the chamber flows out of the crack, and the chamber becomes more and more airy, and the island rises faster. Gradually, it became what it is today.

"Speaking of the wishing power, I think that the shipwrecked crew member was only lucky for him, not really because of the wishing power of the Stygian Stone."

Gao Xiaoxi asked again: "Professor Wei, do you say that the Stygian Stone has a hallucinogenic effect?" ”

If it weren't for the hallucinogenic effect, how could we explain the vision that happened to Zhao Wuji.

Wei Hongjun was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Not only does a meteorite like the Immortal Stone have a hallucinogenic effect, but many meteorites can make people hallucinate. One aspect is that meteorites contain a huge amount of iron, iron can produce a magnetic field, and the human body also has a weak magnetic field, when the meteorite volume is very large, this magnetic field can not be ignored. ”

"And the pluto stone should be a meteorite with a strong magnetic field, but its composition is different from ordinary meteorites, more similar to a substance called a glass meteorite."

Only then did everyone remember that the helicopter that came to the rescue in the evening, when it flew over the island, there was a violent turbulence, at first these people thought it was caused by wind and waves, but now they think that it may be related to the magnetic field of the island.

10 years ago, Wei Hongjun learned about the substance of the dark stone from a friend, and the relevant departments secretly found him, hoping that he would study this substance, so that he was fortunate to learn that such a strange thing still exists on the earth.

As a professor of geology and archaeology, Wei Hongjun devoted his life to the study of various exotic minerals, so he would not let go of the Dark Stone and the Dibron that produced it.

But this stone is full of secrets, not only can it cause people to hallucinate, but this special magnetic field on its body will disappear with the passage of time. Wei Hongjun couldn't solve this mystery until he walked into the huge chamber and the sacrificial scenes he saw in the corridor, and he finally understood the root of the strange phenomena of the Stygian Stone.

"We also found a lot of dark stones on the island, which don't seem to have much effect, only the kind of dark stones that Qian Damao sells to tourists have an effect."

As soon as Xiuxiu spoke, everyone fell silent, and everyone began to try to remember the every move of their friends after they came to the island.

Yun Tianming added: "Among the missing tourists, those who found the Stygian Stone in the tent were Sister Cao, Hao Sha, Sister Li, and Sister Zhou, Zhao Wuji's mother. ”

Wei Hongjun spoke again: "Did you notice the paintings on the walls of the corridor when you came in?" ”

"Is it a sacrificial ritual?"

"Yes, it was a sacrificial ritual, and what they sacrificed was the Stygian Stone, or the entire island to be exact."

When the crowd heard this, they were confused again.

Professor Wei glanced at the crowd, looked at Mu Fanqing and asked, "Little girl, are you wearing an amethyst around your neck?" ”

Purple represents nobility and mystery, Mu Fanqing is a writer of horror novels, and naturally likes accessories with a strong sense of mystery. The amethyst on her neck was in perfect condition, teardrop-shaped, and cost her a lot of silver.

"Yes, Professor Wei, this is an amethyst."

Mu Fanqing was very smart, and suddenly thought of something and exclaimed: "Professor, you mean demagnetization?" ”

She has a large amethyst geode at home, which was bought to improve the feng shui of the family, and also used to demagnetize the amethyst on her neck.

Wei Hongjun nodded approvingly and said with a smile: "The little girl is very smart, this huge chamber is like your amethyst geode." ”

Those who understand will naturally understand it as soon as they say it, and those who don't know can't imagine what an amethyst geode is after explaining it.

Mu Fanqing's reaction was the most intense, she stood up from the stone steps and looked up at the huge dark vault again, those stars that shimmered with beautiful fluorescence were irregular dark stone crystals.

"This chamber is a huge amethyst geode, Professor I understand."

In an instant, Mu Fanqing understood the mysterious murals on the walls of the corridor, understood what those black shadows were kneeling down to worship, and also knew why the Immortal Stone had a time effect after leaving Di Bron.

Wei Hongjun has a faint smile on his face, and the presence of a smart audience around him always makes him happy from the bottom of his heart, which may have something to do with the fact that he is a university professor, and he likes students who can understand it if they are smarter.

"This altar has not been around for a long time, at most it is only 50 years old, but it has been severely deprecated due to wind erosion, rain and earthquakes."

"The people who repair the altar should be the aborigines of the island, who believe that the stone has unknown powers, and often worship and worship."

Luo Zhan searched everywhere and found a lot of snail shellfish on the cave wall, and also responded to Wei Hongjun's speculation from the side.
