Chapter 387: Ominous Log
After settling down, Tang Juyi walked to the drawing board that had not been moved for a long time, shook it, and sure enough, he heard an unusual sound in it, so he basically confirmed the position of the golden triangular stone slab.
"Doesn't seem like it's easy to take apart...... Is it necessary to use violent means? ”
After observing left and right, Tang Juyi didn't really want to take out the triangular slate with a rough technique, because the slate was too special, and Tang Juyi was also worried that it would trigger some bad things.
After a lot of effort, Tang Juyi finally found the abandoned axe, and using its sharp edge, he finally pried open the mezzanine of the drawing board and got the triangular stone slab.
As soon as the slate was in his hands, Tang Juyi felt a shock in his heart, as if he was holding a living thing in his hand, and he could vaguely feel a certain sense of rhythm in it, as if it was a living heart beating.
This strange touch made Tang Juyi feel uneasy for a while, but reason allowed him to control himself, and he didn't throw the stone slab away, but observed it carefully.
Similar to what had been seen in the previous vision, the lines inside the slab did reveal a golden metallic luster, but the gold was slowly flowing, and it looked like it was a liquid metal that had never been seen before.
If you want to describe it in a more vivid way, the golden liquid is like blood flowing in the veins, flowing along the lines carved out of the stone slab, supplying the life rhythm of the stone slab.
At the same time, Tang Juyi began to hear a murmur, which seemed to come from different mouths, the voice was extremely far away, and there was no trace of it, and if he listened carefully, he would find nothing, and if he didn't pay attention, it was extremely clear.
"Just holding it can automatically produce spiritual vision, no wonder these four people on the ship go crazy......"
Tang Juyi's expression was serious, and he didn't dare to continue to touch the stone slab, so he immediately wrapped it in a ball with a few pieces of drawing paper, and then put it on the ground to minimize direct contact with it.
"This submarine is not what the Phil family calls a cargo ship, but an expedition team with a special mission, and it is this slate that they brought back from the investigation site, and this is the cargo that the Phil family has been caring about......"
After placing the slate, Tang Juyi also understood that the task assigned to him by the Phil family was only for this slate. I think that before all the people on this submarine died, they must have communicated with the people of the Phil family and passed some information to them.
No longer paying attention to the slate, Tang Juyi turned around and took out the paper found from the dried corpse in this room, opened it and browsed it:
"Now that the goods are in hand, let's take a look at what kind of clues this guy left me."
————
The information we got was not wrong, there was indeed a sea rock fissure beneath the Devil's Tooth Reef Domain, and it was very new from the traces, it didn't appear very long, it should have been a few months ago, and according to the calculation, it should be related to that shipwreck.
We went deep into the chasm and found what the madmen who shouted about the gods called "Origin" - an ancient underwater cavern.
The cave** is a large space, with no signs of biological activity inside, but it has plenty of oxygen and moisture. We've been researching for a long time, but we've never been able to understand why this environment exists.
There are many unknown ruins of ancient civilization left in the cave, and there are several large stone sculptures, but they have all been destroyed by man, and only the broken sculpture base can be seen, and it is impossible to explore what the sculpture looks like.
In addition, the walls of the cave were carved with some strange characters, which were supposed to belong to the same civilization as the destroyed sculptures. We didn't have any scholars on board, so we had to take pictures of the texts and plan to find a professional to interpret them when we returned to the city.
In that place, we experienced some ...... Disturbing things.
Some team members said they heard a lot of whispers, but others could only hear silence. There are also people who gradually become manic, and will quarrel with their peers and even hurt others just because of some trivial disputes, which is completely different from their previous personality......
I can probably guess some clues, the civilization of this cave ** may not want this place to be found by others, so it leaves behind something dangerous, although it is not clear what caused these strange changes, but leaving early is a no-brainer.
In the center of the cave, we find a stone tablet of records of ancient civilizations, carved with strange patterns. The tablet could be very significant, and since it wasn't too heavy, we decided to bring it back to the city for study.
The deeper part of the cavern was separated by a huge abyss that we could not cross, let alone reach the other side. The abyss could not see the bottom, nor did it know whether it was flowing water or simple rocks below.
This trip only considered the underwater research work, and did not expect to encounter such a cave, it seems that the next time you come back, you can only bring the tools used to climb over, otherwise you will not be able to explore the ancient civilization in the depths of the cave.
It's better not to stay in this place for long, I always feel that something unknown has been dormant in the dark and peeping at us......
————
Tang Juyi finished reading these words and nodded thoughtfully:
"Well, that's right, the remnants of those ancient civilizations are a bit modest to even describe as 'dangerous'. Judging from the current situation, there should be enough reasons why the statue of the cave ** was destroyed. ”
The paper in his hand was two pages pinned together, and there was still a portion of the second page, but it did not seem to match the date written on the first page.
————
Charles had a complete breakdown, and he had become more mentally abnormal than those believers, unable to even participate in daily discussions, except to kneel on the ground and chant the so-called "gods". We tried to treat him, but to no avail, he was not suffering from a physical illness, but a spiritual erosion.
The anomaly of the slate began to manifest itself...... I should have realized that there was a living mind within the slate, and it was reviving little by little. I could even clearly feel that it was trying to interfere with my thoughts, trying to pour something horrible into my head......
We couldn't go back...... At least not yet...... If we take this ashore, then it will undoubtedly spread the disaster of the seabed to Ocean Tide City, and even the entire Deathcursed Island......
Family? Yes, of course I miss my family, but because of this, I must take responsibility for them and bury this demon that we brought out again......
If anyone can see this, I hope you will understand that this is not something that humans can fight against, because it exists beyond all our knowledge today, and must not be mentioned or studied.
If it could, it would be better to sink forever and forever in the abyss at the bottom of the sea!
————
At the end of the browsing, Tang Juyi also roughly understood what the fourth person had experienced:
"It seems that he should be one of the few people who has recognized the gravity of the situation. He realizes that he has stepped into a realm that he should not touch, and that he has brought out something very terrible, so he wants to correct his mistake and let these ancient civilizations be buried in the sea forever. ”
After pondering for a moment, Tang Juyi also felt entangled:
"The anomaly of the slate is also mentioned on the paper, which basically confirms that the slate is a living thing, and the danger to humans can be called deadly...... In that case, am I really going to bring this thing ashore? ”
Lowering his head, Tang Juyi looked at the stone slab wrapped in paper at his feet, and hesitated even more in his heart.
"If you bring it up, will this be regarded as pushing Haichao City to destruction?"
