Volume 1: The Choice of Fate Chapter 76. Stone tablets of ancient ancestors
Behind the automatic doors, the lab is about the size of a basketball court, and there are a large number of experimenters in black uniforms busy going around.
A large number of sophisticated instruments are arranged in a circle in the middle area, and although it is impossible to fully recognize these devices, as a professor, some machines can still guess what they do.
Of course, this was not enough to leave Professor Sima dumbfounded, although the Abyss Council's deep pockets could be seen, but most importantly, in the center of the instrument circle.
A complete stone tablet about two meters high stands, with dense text squeezed and arranged together, like a petrified page, except for some damage around it, on the whole, it looks very well preserved.
The moment he saw the stele, Professor Sima was stunned at first, and then seemed to react, and his body trembled and walked in front of the stele.
Perhaps because Lin Haotian was following him, whether it was the guards in the laboratory or the scientific researchers, they just looked up curiously, but they didn't have any other reactions.
On the other hand, Professor Sima was excited, and his eyes seemed to show a kind of worship of seeing the gods, and he wanted to reach out and touch the stele several times, but he was afraid that his hands would dirty the stele, and he stretched out and took it back several times.
Seeing Professor Sima's reaction, a satisfied chuckle appeared on the corner of Lin Haotian's mouth, judging from his reaction, Professor Sima has true knowledge, which is also in line with the investigation of him.
Before Professor Sima saw the stele, Lin Haotian was actually skeptical about whether he could really help the teacher, but at this moment, Professor Sima's respect for the stele from the bottom of his bones could not be faked.
At least from this point of view, Professor Sima's love for the ancient ancestor civilization is sincere and reverent enough, so on this basis, Professor Sima must have enough understanding of the fonts on the ancient ancestor civilization, as rumored.
"Although I don't want to disturb you, does Professor Sima dare to be interested in this collection?" Lin Haotian stood behind Professor Sima and said softly.
Hearing Lin Haotian's words, Professor Sima didn't even turn back, but his body trembled slightly with excitement, and at the same time, he said with a slight shortness of breath: "Too, it's incredible, such a complete stone tablet is buried deep in the soil below 2w meters, and has been baptized by tens of thousands of years, but it is still well preserved, this has to be said to be a miracle!" How the hell did you get it? ”
"With your title as a senior history professor at Azure Academy, you should have some superficial understanding of the Abyss Council, you know, the purpose of the Abyss Council is to bring human beings to the extreme of evolution, and regain the status and power that once belonged to humans on Earth, this high-level intelligent being!"
When Lin Haotian said the purpose of the Abyss Council above, his eyes also appeared similar to the divine brilliance and worship that appeared when Professor Sima saw the stone tablet, and after a slight pause, he continued: "According to the clues we obtained when the Council of Tario launched the Lightning Annihilation War against the Abyssal Beast camp in the Calamity Land a few years ago, we have discovered a mysterious place under the surface of the camp! ”
When he said this, Lin Haotian shook his head slightly: "But we only entered the periphery of that place, and the deeper area was blocked by the agency, so we couldn't enter, but at the location of the door, we obtained this stone tablet, for which we sacrificed a lot of soldiers, but I think they will willingly sacrifice their lives for the future of mankind!" ”
Accompanied by Lin Haotian's words, perhaps because he did not lower his voice when he talked about the purpose of the Abyss Council and the final dedication of his life, on the contrary, it was still very loud.
The guards on duty in the laboratory around them suddenly straightened up, clenched their fists in front of their left chest with one arm, and the researchers also stood in place with serious faces, and then they shouted at the same time: "For the sake of mankind, sacrifice your life!" ”
Hearing everyone's chanting, Lin Haotian's expression seemed to be a little more excited, but when he saw Professor Sima who didn't react, although there was a trace of displeasure on his face, he also regained his senses.
Silently walking to Professor Sima's side, Lin Haotian took the initiative to stretch out his hand, gently touched the stone tablet and said: "The scientific researchers under the Abyss Council have investigated and found that this should be a stone tablet that introduces the mysterious place, but the specific meaning is very fragmentary, so Professor Sima is needed!" ”
Professor Sima didn't respond to Lin Haotian's words, and after carefully stroking the stele with the palm of his hand, he was silent for more than ten seconds before he trembled and said softly: "Your researchers are right, the text on this is indeed an introductory stele, but with my understanding of the ancient ancestors' writing, it is not so simple!" ”
With slightly puzzled eyes, Lin Haotian looked sideways at Professor Sima, and at the same time, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, obviously not satisfied with Professor Sima's explanation!
Even if he didn't look at Lin Haotian's expression, Professor Sima knew that his explanation was too vague, but he didn't know much about the words on this stone tablet, and he needed to study it carefully.
But at this moment, Professor Sima also understood that he was not facing some rich and powerful, but for the sake of their so-called great cause of mankind, he did not hesitate to lose humanity to conduct biological experiments, and even the abyss council without humanity.
If you want them to believe in themselves and treat them well, then you must say some valuable clues to hook them, otherwise what awaits you will not be death, but it is definitely not a good thing.
After a few minutes of silence, Professor Sima said softly: "Although this is an introductory stone tablet, a large number of words in it are bi-meanings, if these words appear alone, there is no fuss, but on this stone tablet, they seem to meet some logic and are arranged together, I think behind the words on this stone tablet, there may be another kind of information hidden!" ”
"Bisemantic? Another kind of information? Can it be translated in its entirety? Lin Haotian frowned and asked.
Shaking his head slightly, Professor Sima sighed lightly: "It may be okay to give me time, but not now, at least a week or so, but I know a few double meanings!" ”
Hearing Professor Sima's words, Lin Haotian showed a happy expression on his face, looked at him with bright eyes, and asked excitedly, "Tell me, what do you mean?" ”
Seeing Lin Haotian's reaction, Professor Sima's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, through the temptation of this layer, he was sure that this stone tablet had enough value for the Abyss Council.
In other words, as long as he Sima Hong makes a breakthrough in stages, in a short period of time, there will be no danger to his life, thinking of this, Professor Sima nodded slightly and said: "Although I can't be too sure whether the semantics are accurate, behind the first introduction text, another layer of meaning seems to be the explanation of the mechanism in that mysterious place!" ”
In an instant, Lin Haotian's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he grabbed Professor Sima's collar with one arm, and said with a fierce gaze in his expression: "What you said is true?" Didn't lie to me? ”
Gently patted the back of Lin Haotian's hand, and after he let go of himself, Professor Sima took a deep breath and said, "I didn't lie to you, but you have to give me time, at least a week!" I can connect the above double semantics, and I wonder if the Abyss Council can also give me a ticket to visit the mysterious place? ”
Hearing Professor Sima's words, a look of satisfaction finally rose on Lin Haotian's face, because for him, Professor Sima was not a person who could be trusted, except for this stone tablet of ancient ancestor civilization, it seemed that Professor Sima did not have much desire.
This is not good news for the Abyss Council, after all, since Professor Sima entered here, it means that he will never be able to leave, but after the stone tablet is resolved, Professor Sima can't be imprisoned, right? This is not the Abyss Council's approach to talent.
For a mysterious organization, talents are always the most valuable, so making the best use of people is the right way, and just now, Professor Sima exposed his demands.
Nodding slightly, a smile appeared on Lin Haotian's face, and he said softly: "If Professor Sima can explain the information on the stone tablet throughout, then he will naturally be the greatest hero of the Abyss Council, and then I will apply to the teacher, as long as Professor Sima is willing, we can become our own people at any time!" ”
Hearing Lin Haotian's words, and looking at Lin Haotian's expression again, the corners of Professor Sima's mouth pulled out a shallow smile, but deep down he chuckled, although he did have a very strong interest in the mysterious field, and he also knew that the Abyss Council could provide him with such an opportunity to study the ancient ancestors' civilization in depth.
But that doesn't mean he wants to join the Abyss Council, after all, for scholars, knowledge and exploration shouldn't separate borders.
Immediately, Professor Sima just smiled softly and said softly, "That's, that's!" He hurriedly turned around and devoted himself to the study of the words on the stele again.
This time, Lin Haotian finally didn't dare to interrupt Professor Sima, because the guy in front of him was an important bargaining chip for him to curry favor with the teacher in the future.
From this mission, it can be seen that the teacher seems to attach great importance to himself, although he doesn't like the Yaksha guy, but the teacher still uses the evolutionary cell to change him and give it to himself as a subordinate.
What's more, Lin Haotian's mission this time is to have absolutely independent decision-making power, you know, there is a rule in the Abyss Council that everything is decided by contribution, if there is no contribution, then everyone is equal to all beings.
This is also the reason why when Yaksha heard that he could get a contribution, he was willing to obey the call and help him go to Zhang He for revenge, because he Lin Haotian was the most mysterious and mythical student of the Abyss Council.
Therefore, on the basis of the status of those who join the Abyss Council, if they cannot become apostles, they cannot have subordinates and transfer authority to other members.
In other words, this task given to him by the teacher represents recognition to some extent, and it is likely that he wants to elevate himself to the tenth apostle of the Abyss Council.
You must know that in the decades since the establishment of the Abyss Council, the apostles' share is only nine, and they are praised by all the participants who join the Abyss Council as the successor of the primordial spirit god.
Now, he, Lin Haotian, has not obtained the status of an apostle, but he can have the right to be an apostle, which has to be said to be a very interesting signal.
For this signal, Lin Haotian did not hesitate to give everything, because only by becoming a true apostle can he have the supreme power in the Abyss Council, and become an existence under one person and above ten thousand!
At that time, Lin Haotian will also get the most perfect evolution and become a truly perfect human being, and most importantly, from the mouth of the First Spirit Teacher, he learned that the power of the berserk rune on his body was obtained in that mysterious place.
Although a small part of them ran to Zhang He because of their own assertions, so what? For Zhang He, at this moment, he has already become Lin Haotian's garbage that can be bounced off with a little thumb.
Although he firmly believes that Zhang He is still alive, as long as he is willing to show up, then he will inevitably withdraw the rune power from him in the future, which is why he installed Yaksha to recruit Zhang Luoyi by his side.
Because Lin Haotian knows very well that for Zhang He, an orphan who grew up in his adoptive mother's family, his biggest shortcoming is precisely that he attaches too much importance to feelings!
