Petru rushed into the altar and saw Lady Larry lying on the ground, not knowing what she was looking at.

Carefully avoiding the suspended stones, he ran to Madame, tore the garment from his waist, wrapped it around Madame Larry, and cried out, "Madame, we may go." ”

Mrs. Larry was unmoved, as if she had completely forgotten her situation, and said without looking back:

"Petru, I seem to have found some secrets about this place. This altar is not as simple as we think, it may be the product of a civilization that we have never known. I need a little time to decipher the words and patterns here. Can you help me? ”

Petru said in a hurry: "Madam, we are about to hit the moon!" The flood is coming, come with me! ”

"If so, where can we go?" Mrs. Larry was still lying there, like a child preoccupied with playing a game, not caring at all about the anxiety of the adults calling her to eat.

Petru was stunned, yes, where can we go? If Aoki can't prevent this catastrophe from happening, where can they hide on such a small island?

He looked up at the huge moon in the sky and the stones floating under the moon, and said to himself that if he was going to die, this altar would be a good place to bury bones. He remembered that when they had just come down with Mrs. Larry on their backs, they had prepared for the worst of not being able to die here. He spent half of his life, except for a brief good time with Lavier, most of the time, he was in exile, fighting against death. If you can die with this respectable lady, such a life ending is not bad.

The rumbling sound in the distance grew louder and louder, and the earth began to tremble, and the boulder above his head shook as if it was about to fall at any moment.

Some extremely strong mental disturbances struck, making Petru's consciousness suddenly feel like he was falling from a great height. He shook his head, came to his senses, and shouted:

"Ma'am, my companions are still up there, we must go and join them, there will be a way! Can't wait to die here! ”

Mrs. Larry stood up, a little shaky. Petru knew that the mental shock just now had also affected her, and hurriedly held her up.

Mrs. Larry held her forehead and said, "Oh my God! What's wrong with me? ”

"It's all right, ma'am, you'll be all right!" Petru said as he helped her get dressed.

When he was dressed, he repeated his old trick, and as soon as he picked up Mrs. Larry and put it on his shoulder, he was about to run over the altar.

Mrs. Larry was caught off guard and was hugged by him, her waist hanging from Petru's shoulder, her head hanging down, just in time to see the hourglass symbol on the ground. She was lying on her stomach when she looked at it just now, so the light above was blocked by her, and the light shone on her back, and then she got out of the way, and the light shone on the ground.

She patted Petru on the back hard: "Petru! Put me down! Petru! I seem to have discovered something! ”

Petru sensed real anxiety in Mrs. Larry's voice, and he stopped, put Madame down, and said, "Madame, we are running out of time!" ”

Mrs. Larry trotted two steps to the symbol and looked up. The moonlight came through the pumice stones in the air, and in addition to the sparse spots of light that were like words and symbols on the ground, there was also a straight pillar of light in the middle of the pumice stone henge. This pillar of light should have been blocked by her own body just now, so she didn't see the circular light spot on the ground.

There is also a black shadow in the center of the circle, and in this shadow is the hourglass symbol composed of two triangles.

Mrs. Larry looked down at the spots and shadows one moment, and then at the sky.

Petru was anxious, he didn't know what was going on outside, but he could feel the terrifying pressure of the destruction of the world intensifying. He knew that Aoki was helping the dead old man maintain the stability of the space here at the moment, hoping for a miracle to happen. Although he didn't understand why a real space needed to be maintained by mental power like a dream, and he couldn't understand what Klein bottle, what Loch limit, or what high-dimensional space, but he understood one thing, if he didn't want to come up with a good way, or if no miracle happened, this place would be torn apart by the gravitational pull of that strange thing in the sky.

Yes, he'd rather call that thing in the sky something weird than the moon. He had spent the moon with Lavier on the banks of the Tiber, and what a beautiful moon it was!

Who says crater-covered stuff has to be the moon? If they're on Earth and suddenly they're going to crash into the moon, then why not on some other planet?

"Petru!" Mrs. Larry suddenly pointed to the sky and said, "Can you help me get rid of that thing?" ”

Petru was taken aback, he thought that Madame had asked him to knock the "moon" off.

"Ma'am, I have not been exposed to gamma rays, and my skin does not glow green." He looked at the moon and said, "And this thing, even if Dr. Banner comes, it won't be able to blow it up." ”

Mrs. Larry knew he had misunderstood, and explained, "I don't want you to knock out the moon, I want you to knock out the stone that blocks the moonlight." ”

Petru realized that Mrs. Larry was pointing to a stone in the center of Stonehenge above her head. This stone is different, it should be called a stone pillar, slender and long, standing in mid-air like a man. Its position was right in the pillar of light that shone down from the sky, forming a dark shadow in the center of the spot on the ground.

"It's it!"

Petru raised his head and fired a few shots, but the bullets bounced off the stones, not only did they not affect the pillars, but they splattered and flew around, almost injuring themselves.

He regretted a little that he had lost his sniper rifle for convenience, otherwise he would have been able to break the stone pillar.

He put down his gun, took out the grenade, gestured, and pulled Mrs. Larry far away, then pulled the grenade safe, counted a few counts in his heart, and threw it out.

The grenade flew through the crack in the stone, hit the stone pillar, and exploded with a bang. The pillar was not shattered as expected, but floated to the side and hit other stones.

The pillar of light was gone, and the dark shadow on the ground disappeared.

Mrs. Larry rushed over despite the fact that the debris from the grenade explosion was still falling. She saw that the symbol was much clearer in the light than before, as if it was still reflecting.

She crouched down and gently touched the hard lines of the symbol with her hand. Suddenly, in a trance, the two triangles of the symbol reversed and changed positions. She wasn't sure if she was wrong, because the symbol was symmetrical, and it was still the same symbol when it was reversed.

"Madame! Be careful! Petru suddenly shouted and rushed over and picked her up from the ground.

A huge stone fell from the sky and slammed into the place where Madame had been squatting.

I don't know if it was a chain reaction caused by the explosion of the grenade and the stone pillar hitting other stones, or something else, the stone formations in the air suddenly became chaotic, and they kept hitting each other. Then, one after another, they fell.

Petru resisted Mrs. Larry, sweating profusely, and jumped from falling boulder.

And Mrs. Larry's eyes were still fixed on the symbols on the ground. It was as if she saw the halo of light flowing from one triangle to the other.

Then, a layer of white fog rose on the ground, like an artificial fog on the stage, which soon covered the totemic patterns and symbols on the ground.

The stones overhead were still falling, like a black meteor shower, crashing into the ground with a roaring sound. Petru felt as if he was in a battlefield full of artillery, but his vision was blocked by the rising fog.
