After saying this, Number 7 led us to a gate.

The layout of this basement is very simple, even boring, a long hallway, with this kind of bank vault-like safe door on both sides, and all kinds of tedious verifications before entering.

When the door was opened on the 7th, I realized the thickness of the door... Well...... How to put it, whether it is to prevent a nuclear attack or a future biochemical war, this is properly enough.

From the outside, it's just an ordinary villa, but I didn't expect this to be a little scary inside, but it's just a stone statue, and the spirit team won't move to such a scary device, right?

But when the door is actually opened, I don't think so.

It is a large room of about two or three hundred square meters, and when you enter the door, you can see the utensils that have appeared on the various altars arranged on the shelves.

The room is divided into several different areas, some for collection, some for research, some for testing, and even for research documentation.

These people were wearing the uniforms worn by the staff members in the video, and when we came in, they didn't say anything but a baptism of stares, and went on to work.

Agent 7 came and led us directly to a completely open area, where a cordon was set up, and inside the cordon were the shattered stone statues we saw in the video earlier.

The staff who had wrapped themselves tightly were in the cordon, carefully scanning the smashed stone statues with their instruments, while the machine next to them kept emitting a 'didi' siren.

"This is it."

Agent 7 called out to another staff member, then brought a tablet and turned on a surveillance video.

The picture in the video is the place where I am standing, but in the surveillance, the stone statues in the cordon are very complete, there are a total of six stone statues of the same size, all of them are bodhisattva statues with abominant faces, and their faces are smeared with red paint, but maybe it's blood.

In the surveillance, some of the staff are holding and scanning together, some are holding small brushes to brush the things on it, and some are using small hammers to knock and beat, which makes me feel like I am in archaeology.

Yes, these people treat these statues like archaeologists, but they are no different from ordinary stone statues in my eyes.

But the people here don't think so, I look back, those gadgets on the shelves are almost all altar ornaments, incense burners, ivory, gems, runes, and even I saw a few pieces of blood jade, as for whether it is a finished product, it is unknown.

I always thought that the Spirit Case Team was a mysterious ancient organization, with all kinds of strange people in it, all of them with meticulous logic and skills, but I didn't expect them to be quite up to date, and such a research laboratory is really good.

Just when I was distracted thinking about this, the tablet playing the surveillance clip suddenly made a 'boom' explosion, and my eyes quickly shifted back, fortunately I didn't miss this scene, the stone statues in the cordon area exploded one after another, almost at the same time, these stone statues that were originally erected in place without the slightest movement were blown apart.

Many of the staff members were injured, but that wasn't the point, the point was that the parts of the stone statues that had been blown apart and fell to the ground, such as the arms or legs, were coming together at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

What I described is a bit too mysterious, in fact, in the video, you can only see a few stones, slowly coming together without any external force.

But if you look closely, you can see that those parts are legs, feet, arms, fingers and the like.

However, this convergence did not last forever, and after a while, it stopped, but it did happen, and there was no external help.

The next picture is that these staff members have withdrawn from it, and another group of experimenters has been replaced, which has no reference value, so after putting it here, the 7th also suspended the picture.

"See?"

He pointed to the picture and said, "These are just a small part of the proof, I'll show you other people's research later, you guys are mentally prepared." ”

In fact, when I saw the picture just now, Wang Zhengqing and I were completely stunned.

But that picture is beyond the scope of our cognition, it's just a stone statue, why does it move by itself? Those stumps and severed arms want to be brought together, much like the self-healing function of our human beings, but the problem is that these stone statues are just carved from stone, what healing function do they have, and the stone is the stone.

I didn't have to be too amateurish and asked what the evidence was that they were living beings.

"Don't worry."

After putting the tablet down on the 7th, he led us to another work area, which was responsible for literature research, and when we arrived, some people who looked like clerical workers were burying their heads in the monitor and looking through some materials.

I took a quick look at it, and it was talking about something in ancient Egypt, but I saw that the literature showed mummies, and I looked up at another monitor, which was about terracotta warriors and horses, and what statues were being studied.

I deliberately glanced at the source of their information, and found that their browser, the prefix is a LAN URL, but the information they access is like written in those encyclopedias, is this the internal information of the LAN of the spirit case team? It looks quite high-end, but I don't know how valuable these documents are.

But No. 7 didn't pay attention to that, he took us to one of the controlled computers, and with a few clicks on the keyboard, he brought up a file.

This is a thermal image, shaped like the statues, and strangely enough, the hearts and heads of these statues have faint red and orange colors.

"It's ......"

"This is a thermal image of the stone statue."

No. 7 didn't say anything to us directly: "I don't feel anything when I touch it, but if I scan it with a scanner, I can see these two positions, and there is obvious heat." ”

Wang Zhengqing and I exchanged glances when we saw this.

To be honest, it's a bit like they deliberately made a game to trick us, but if it's just a game, there's no need to lay out so much, it's a bit too wasteful.

So we can only assume, or say, that this is true, but if it is, it is a bit too fantastical.

How can an ordinary stone statue be hot? And the location of the fever is so clever, it just appears in the position of the heart and head, which can't be said.

I know that they must have stronger evidence on the 7th, and it is impossible to start studying them just because of a thermal imager, and who of these stone statues will be idle and take a scanner to sweep them?

So......

I looked at No. 7 and asked, how did you find out that this stone statue has traces of life?

Hearing me ask, Number 7 probably knew that the evidence wouldn't make me stop, so he pulled us aside, a corner where no one was around.

"I'll tell you the truth, the stone statue on the altar of Bibo Lake has moved in front of me, and even killed one of our agents."

"What?"

As soon as he finished saying this, Wang Zhengqing and I were stunned and shouted impossible.

"Nothing is impossible, see it with your own eyes." Although No. 7 said this, he lowered his voice again and motioned for us to keep our voices down, although there are no secrets here, but this matter is too mysterious to say.

"It's not just me, the agents on the same team with me have all seen it, and Wu Dezhou, we still have the video."

"Can we watch the video?" I asked.

If such a thing is true, then these videos should have been listed as confidential evidence, and it makes sense to show us on the 7th, after all, when I was in the Xinjiang Municipal General Bureau, I did such a job.

"Yes, but I'll have to ask my superiors for instructions before I can show you."

No. 7 said: "The reason why the superiors agreed to let you participate is because of you, Zhang Yao. ”

"Me?"

I pointed to myself and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"The basket you poked in Xinjiang City is really too big, so the superiors want to see how you are doing here, and want to give it a try, but just give it a try to see if you can help."

After that, he continued: "So you have to prove that you can help so that I can show you this video, otherwise, there is no need." ”

He said so, and Wang Zhengqing and I exchanged a look, and Wang Zhengqing nodded, signaling that I could cooperate.

In fact, even if Wang Zhengqing disagrees, I will want to cooperate with them, after all, this matter is too mysterious, and I want to figure out what is going on.

I thought about it for a moment, and then asked, "There are so many people in your spirit team, do you know about altars?" ”

"Yes." No. 7 said: "But to be honest, they know that they can't help much, they have analyzed these altars of Tianquan, and they all say that there is no point that can continue to investigate, and these altars are also unqualified in their opinion." ”

I took over and said, "That's it, I can help, first of all, these altars are not as useless as your people say, they are perfect, so perfect that they have removed everything that is not needed, and only kept the purest things, and I am very good at one of them. ”

"What?"

"Runes."

"We also have people who know runes." Speaking of this, No. 7 glanced at Wang Zhengqing: "We invited his master, Gu Yichang, to come over, but he didn't understand the old man, so he ......"

I know what 7 means, but I can really give it to the rest of the day.

"So, I know, I understand...... Their runic logic. ”
