Chapter 104: Skull Stone

The surface of the rock was finally excavated, and due to the limited space inside the nest, the ants were unable to dig a nest large enough to see it in full view in a short period of time.

Therefore, the surface of this "rock" is only cut into a thin layer, so that the protagonist can see the pattern on it from a close distance, but from any angle, he can still only see a small part of its content, and the whole picture cannot be seen clearly.

However, the protagonist always finds this "rock" a little strange, not that it looks like a rock on the surface, but it has a strange texture that feels like a rock to the touch.

It's the shape of the rock, which seems to have a strong attraction for the protagonist, and even if you can't see the whole picture, it makes the protagonist feel very familiar, and there is an urge to see the whole thing.

So the protagonist climbs on this rock, and under his feet is the symbolic code of various civilizations such as the Pythagorean theorem, and he walks in circles, except for the bottom of this rock, which must stand on the dirt to maintain stability and not be able to set foot in it, and walks all with his feet, "look at it again".

This is what he uses his own footsteps to describe in his mind the appearance of this "rock", which is the specialty of ants.

As the protagonist gets farther and farther, the pattern in his mind becomes clearer and clearer, and the shape of the "rock" becomes more and more complete.

And as the answer is revealed little by little, the protagonist only feels his brain buzzing, excitement and fear, doubt and hesitation, all kinds of strong emotions continue to hit his mind.

The protagonist must use all his willpower to make sure that he doesn't faint, and to keep walking, drawing, and completing the answer that he has already guessed.

The protagonist's footsteps stop at the dot at the top of the arc of the "rock", and the picture is already fully drawn in his mind.

The protagonist already knew about it, but now it has only been verified that the true shape of this rock is so incredible.

This is a "rock" in the shape of a human skull, and the protagonist does not dare to say whether it is a real human skull, a fossil, or an artificially made handicraft with its shape.

But the shape of the rock alone already makes the protagonist almost stunned.

Mankind! There are traces of human existence in this world.

Since the time travel, only at the beginning, the protagonist is still full of thoughts to find humans and return to the world he is familiar with, even if he only has the body of an ant.

But over the years, as he has learned more about this world, the protagonist has come to accept that this is a world where there are no large creatures, and the most advanced life forms are only at the level of arthropods.

This is a world where only ants still have civilization attributes, and human beings seem to exist only in the memory of the protagonist.

No matter how the protagonist uses the knowledge and experience he has mastered as a human to transform his power, how he wants to still live like a "human".

At least, the concept of "human", this body, and this race no longer exist, and even if he is unwilling, the protagonist can only use the body of an "ant" to eat, communicate, move, and think.

The protagonist is already very familiar with this body, and even the external body form has in turn affected consciousness.

The protagonist is accustomed to moving with his six limbs or hind limbs, and is accustomed to chopping food with a large jaw and chewing crookedly in his mouth. He also gradually saw other ants as his own kind, and did not exclude himself from the group of "ants" - perhaps he was just a strange ant?

Zhuang Sheng dreams of butterflies, or butterflies dream of Zhuang Sheng?

Is it the protagonist who has crossed over from a human to an ant, or is the protagonist an ant who once dreamed of a world that didn't exist in a long dream? Dreaming of a short life of an individual named "Man" within his race?

The protagonist's deep consciousness is already confused, and perhaps both are real and neither is real enough. Perhaps this is the self-protection of consciousness in conscious evil, the "rationalization" of the present existence, and the avoidance of causing harm to reason and consciousness in constant self-denial.

I have to say that in this environment, in this world, the consciousness of "people" in the protagonist's consciousness is gradually dying out in terms of existence, intimacy, and all dimensions.

One day, the protagonist will be assimilated by the world, and maybe he still retains a lot of memories of the human period, but it is really the same as the fragments left in distant dreams, illusory and gorgeous, but it no longer matters.

But now, a human "skull" suddenly appeared in this ant world, appeared in an ant nest, and woke up the protagonist's consciousness about "people" again.

Crossing as an ant, am I human? Or ants?

It's a big question, an eternal question in everything that travels through the world. But now, the protagonist did not expect such a metaphysical and lofty question.

What he thought of was that the existence of this human skull showed that there were people in this world, at least there had been people.

Otherwise, no species can create such a real human "skull" out of thin air. even though

The head stone is not a real skull, it is just an artifact, and there must be a reference. Other intelligent beings imagined by human beings always carry the shadow of human beings themselves, and the same is obviously true of other intelligent beings.

If this skull is the work of an ant, then the ant could not have been made out of thin air, and this skull and even the hollow of the temple are so realistic and perfect that it cannot be the product of imagination.

This ant world is, and may have been, human beings.

Is this person a person? Is it a traverser who is as unlucky as yourself? But he kept the human body, he ignited the fire of the ant civilization, and then was finally remembered by the ants as a god, and his head as a holy object?

They are a group of people who once had a civilized society, but eventually lost and died out in the confrontation with the ant civilization, and themselves as a symbol of the devil, and their heads were suppressed here?

The protagonist has a myriad of possibilities in his mind, but none of them have evidence of the truth.

At least, the protagonist psychologically feels that he is no longer alone, no matter whether there is anyone in this world now, the protagonist knows that he is no longer the lonely one.

Man, the primate of all things, has also left traces in this world.

Judging from the "skull" in front of him, the traces of the surface depiction have traces of time, and it will not be a work in the short term. The protagonist is eager to find an ant from the original nest and ask them about their history and the origin of the human head rock.

But this is obviously no longer possible, the corn hairy ants that live here have been parasitized by parasitic bacteria and have completely lost their memories of the past.

This ant world is not as simple as the protagonist imagined!
