Chapter 62: Ancient Letters

This trick of using the color and light and shadow effects of the stone wall is obviously deliberately designed to hide the "bow" shaped passage, and the protruding stone crack even calculates the angle of the light to the fullest.

I believe that if I had made any changes to the furnishings in that chamber just now, the result would probably have been that I would not have been able to discover the other chamber hidden behind this "bow" passage.

No, I shouldn't call it a "cavern";

for there will never be a hole comparable to what I have seen before my eyes;

But I can't call it a corridor, yes, there is an exit in front of this cavern, but it's not a corridor either.

After hours of inquiry, I finally gritted my back molars and rubbed my temples to name the place "WC" (short for Wo Cao), and it was a long, long time before I changed the name to "Chaos", which means the place where chaos first opened;

As for how long it was, to be honest, I have long forgotten the exact time;

But fortunately, due to the twisting and turning of the "bow" stone secret door, the harsh sound outside was much lessened, and I even had to listen carefully to hear some noises;

This cannot be attributed entirely to the effect of the secret door, but the reason for this is that the walls around this new cave in the depths of me are densely packed with endless pits, which are very similar to the "melting reactions" produced by ore after being smelted at high temperatures, and the whole cave forms a natural sound room, and those small pits are excellent sound-absorbing panels;

But that wasn't enough to shock me......

There were no oil lamps of the kind in the outer chambers around the cave, but they were several times brighter than the outer chambers;

The source of light was clearly visible to me when I turned through the bowed secret door, and it was above the head of the cavern, and if I judged correctly, the source of the light was probably magma, which shone into the cavern through the stones;

There is also a hot temperature and a feeling of dryness;

At first, I was shocked to see this scene, and I could even see the energy overflowing from the lava through the natural stone above my head, and I firmly believed that this was not a cave dug by hand, because no one, not even a machine, could do it;

But even this ingenuity is not the part that amazes me the most......

As I walked a dozen meters to the dark part of the cavern, slightly avoiding the roasted spot above my head, the side walls suddenly flattened, and they were no longer the intricate rocks of the same time.

This flattening makes it easy to tell at a glance that it has been artificial, and the long drying has left it without a single moss on its surface, and I even wiped the floating ash that had accumulated on the stone wall for an unknown amount of time with a simple touch of my fingers;

And under the floating ash, a string of words chiseled on the stone wall suddenly appeared, thank God, this is Chinese, but the writing is slightly different from the traditional Chinese characters I am familiar with:

"Don't believe your memories";

The words were within my reach, and each word was the size of my fist, and it was engraved there without any covering, without concealment;

The little thumping heart in my body seemed to be jumping out of my throat for a long time, and the last time I felt it was when I returned to the island with Tiger and Dandan;

Soon, I wiped out a square meter or two of wall carvings from all over the top and bottom of it, although some of them were broken, and the way the language was organized was very different from the Chinese I was familiar with, and even a punctuation mark was missing, but the general meaning was at least intelligible:

-------

You've written so much

Why didn't anyone mention how to get out of this damn place

You speak of yourselves as the Creator

After all, it was still thrown naked on this isolated island

Not as lucky as you

I lived alone on this island for almost 200 years before I stumbled upon it

Only then did I understand why I continued to live

You guys have written so much

Tell me how you found the woman

I did something wrong

I just took advantage of Ge Linqing's absence to walk into the room that had been locked

And all this is just because of my curiosity

-------

-------

When you see the words I left on it countless years ago

It means that another heartless one was thrown here by them

Let's be honest

When I come back here again

I especially wish that someone else would have carved his experience on this wall

pity

Nothing

I would have liked to engrave these in Sosukchi

I'm afraid that you won't be able to understand this kind of common writing after a long time

So I was on nine islands around the cradle of human civilization

Leave a lot of words to tell you

Don't trust your own memories

For example, about Ge Linqing

Do not develop and use source energy

Although it possesses great energy

But all the balance of this astral body depends on this thing

They were deliberately distributed in each place by the Creator for balance

And my descendants are wantonly mining, moving, and transporting

That's what I'm back here for

Until the time when all the species in this world are about to be destroyed

I really understood the meaning of this cave and came back here again

Good luck

Good luck to this astral body

I tried my best to suppress my amazement, and read word by word everything that had been left behind of this man's two comings;

I even followed his words and erased out a few other words that I hadn't noticed and had missed;

Unfortunately, some of the first depictions may have been so old that they are no longer visible, and the other two large passages of text are obviously longer and more in content than the man left behind, but unfortunately they are not the words I know, and they do not even belong to the language family I know, whether they are Chinese characters, Hebrew characters, Egyptian characters, Scarlet characters, Persian characters, or Arabic characters, the shapes and lines are very different from those two characters;

I simply sat on the somewhat warm ground, staring at the cave wall in front of me as if I were dumbfounded;

For me, a few hundred words or so is tantamount to a verdict, at least it pronounces one thing in the first place: I will never return to my home again in my life;

In my mind, I was displaced by a shipwreck eight and a half years ago.

But now it seems that all this is not an accident, but an inevitability;

For many years ago, there was the same man who was exiled here, and his situation seemed to be much worse than mine;

And when he came back again, it seemed that he was in a bad situation from the text, and I could even understand that the species was going extinct, and of course, it must have included humans;

This is probably the consequence of the change in the "source energy" he mentioned, and the first instinct I had was probably "nuclear energy" as I knew it;

But in this way, is the person who left this wall inscription from the century A.D., or is it a prehistoric civilization that I don't know, such as Atlantis?

But how did this grandson write the Chinese characters I knew?
