I asked tentatively, "How did you do that?" ”

The hoarse voice looked at me and said, "Do what?" Eternal youth or immortality? ”

"Uh......"

I nodded and said, "All of them." ”

The hoarse voice shook its head and sighed: "Alas! There is nothing so good in this world that we don't get anything......"

I was puzzled: "But ......"

The hoarse voice said: "What we see is not necessarily the truth, in fact, we are already on the verge of death, but we just have a young skin......

What he said sounded contradictory, and I frowned: "Aren't dying and young a pair of antonyms?" ”

"Yes and no."

The hoarse voice continued: "Immortality and eternal youth are just flowers in the mirror, and they do not exist in this world. ”

I'm already completely confused, people like him and Political Commissar Lu seem to have gotten these a long time ago, why do you want to say that these things don't exist?

"What you see isn't necessarily the truth."

The hoarse voice mentioned the words again, and he seemed a little tired, straightened his back, and continued to talk about the past.

At that time, everyone didn't know what was going on, only that the person who left had a strange death, and the people above realized that this matter was too bizarre for fear of causing panic, so they suppressed it, and those who didn't leave never had a chance to leave, and those who had left gradually died.

Although the news of the bizarre death was suppressed, it still spread privately in their circle, and it was only in this way that these people knew what had happened.

Knowing is not the same as being able to solve it, the death knell of death rang again and again, shattering the luck of one by one.

They don't know when death will come, some of them are actively looking for a way to crack it, others are sitting quietly waiting for death, and some people can't stand the pressure and are already crazy before they die.

But no matter what, one after another, death comes as scheduled, and the living have nothing but despair.

Because communication was not developed at that time, and this matter was suppressed, and the people who left were basically dead, the whole thing did not spread to the outside world, and those who knew about these things were these people inside.

"Waiting for death is terrible, and perhaps only death is liberation."

The hoarse voice's tone was a little bleak, he pointed to the deep voice and continued: "We didn't know that we could survive at first, we just continued to look for a way to crack it despite fear, but we didn't expect ......"

At this he paused, glanced at the one lying on the ground, and sighed.

I thought for a moment and asked, "Found the answer?" Or is it a step too late? ”

He shook his head and said, "At that time, we didn't find the answer, we always thought that we were lucky to be alive, and we didn't understand the truth until later......"

Me: "The truth? ”

Him: "Well, the truth. ”

Me: "What is it?" ”

Him: "Have you seen those glass beads?" ”

I nodded.

He continued: "The problem is in that thing, and there is the crux of the problem. ”

I frowned, and suddenly remembered that John Feng had said that there was something poisonous in the bead, but new doubts came to my mind, so I continued to ask, "That thing is not naturally formed, is it?" ”

He nodded, "Of course not." ”

Me: "And who made it?" It's not difficult to smelt the glass, but it's hard to have roughly the same pattern inside......"

Him: "This question has been bothering me for a long time, and then I finally figured it out. ”

"Oh?!"

I was surprised: "So what do you tell me about?" ”

He: "Actually, the pattern of the glass beads is not on the surface, but on the inside, and there is a metal bird inlaid inside, which is also what I asked someone to figure out with an instrument later." ”

The glass beads are inlaid with a metal bird, and this answer really surprised me, if so, the ancients did have a way to make it.

For example, to obtain glass in a bronze furnace, first make a spherical rough embryo, then paste a bird-shaped metal sheet, and finally wrap a layer of glass to form, because the glass itself is not transparent, resulting in a naturally formed pattern from the appearance.

This explains why there are so many beads that are roughly the same, and why the beads are slightly different in color and pattern, because they are handmade, so they can't all be exactly the same.

Although I figured this out, I still couldn't figure out why the ancients made these beads, and what the purpose of these beads was, so I raised my question again.

Him: "There's a connection between what it contains and what 653 is guarding. ”

He said it all the way.

I quickly understood the meaning, what 653 guards can affect the human body, and the same should be true of what is in it, both should be the same or similar substances.

I continued to ask, "Uh...... I've seen something inside 653, it's a round thing, it's pitch black, what is that? ”

He looked up at me and said, "All you see is the shield, the real thing is underneath." ”

Me: "Oh?! So what is it? ”

Him: "Meteorite." ”

Me: "No wonder it's so weird, it turns out to be a flying stone from outside the sky, isn't it buried in the depths of the mine?" How did the ancients find out? ”

"I don't know about that."

He shook his head and continued, "I think they must have stumbled upon the metal and discovered its secrets, which is why they consider it an artifact. ”

"Secret?"

Another word struck a nerve at me, and I continued to ask, "What's the secret of these metals?" ”

He hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "You can understand that it can release a certain substance to stimulate the metabolism of the cells of the organism, so as to maintain youth. ”

I frowned: "Isn't that immortality?" ”

He shook his head: "No, everyone's body cells have a limit on the number of metabolizations, and when they reach the limit, they will also die." ”

I suddenly remembered that 653 had a series of deaths recently, maybe it was because of this, but they didn't know the number of cell metabolisms, and then again, although they have been staying in the cave, it is not in vain to be able to live a lifetime......

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh for a while, but I still didn't figure out the matter of the beads, if the beads were the same as the meteorite in 653, would I die without the beads in the future? So, I asked him this question.

"No, it won't."

He replied affirmatively: "The dose in the beads is not enough to change the structure of the human body, but it can maintain the structure that has been altered." ”
