Anderson and Boris are dead.

No one expected this ending.

Alice clung to Anderson's body and cried uncontrollably, until Mrs. Larry came back and comforted her:

"They walked without pain, Alice, and this is already the best ending. Think of Professor Pardik! Cheer up, Alice, and don't let the dead worry about your sad appearance in heaven. ”

Alice stopped crying, gently put Anderson's body down, looked at the other men earnestly, and said, "Please, dig a pit and bury him." ”

They went to the village and found shovels, knives, and stools, and dug a pit in the soft dirt next to the altar.

Ivan and Petru carried the bodies of Boris and Anderson into a pit and buried them, covering them with earth.

At Lady Larry's suggestion, they dug another pit and buried the wild woman named Tafiy. Aoki and Situ dragged out the bodies of the three tribal leaders, Kuberta, Battus, and Bigwendy, and dug a pit and buried them. As for the rest of the Itsa, they really didn't have the strength to dig so many pits, so they had to leave it alone.

Dewar had been silently reciting some verse, walking round and round the square full of dead people, and I don't know how many times she had recited it.

After that's done, people start thinking about what's next. There are no Itsa's left to stop them from doing anything, it's time to go to the altar. Of course, there are no indigenous people to guide them now, and everything can only be done on their own.

At this moment, Su Huilan asked in shock: "What about the coal boss and Yanran?" ”

Only then did people remember that when the Itsa's spirit exploded just now, the crow was blown away like a kite and never returned. At the same time, the cat was missing.

Everyone looked at Aoki, the bird had been perched above his head, like a part of his body, and it stands to reason that he should have discovered it a long time ago.

Aoki stroked his messy hair and glanced in the direction of the village not far away, and said a little embarrassed, "Well, that, they're in the village." ”

"Ah, how do you know?" Su Hui Lanqi said.

"Oh, I saw them when I was looking for tools just now." Aoki said.

The group walked towards the village together. As they passed by a wooden house, they heard the sound of rustling inside.

Aoki squeaked and pushed open the door, and saw the coal boss and Ran.

The ground was littered with dried fruit, dried fish, and something that looked like sun-dried flesh.

The cat lay on its back on a soft meadow, its belly bulging, and it didn't know how much food it contained. When it saw the person at the door, it twisted its body vigorously to get up, but it ate a little too much, and its body, which was already a little fat, did not obey the call, and twisted several times but failed to turn it over, so it had to grin, bared its teeth, and looked at the crow with some embarrassment.

The crow, on the other hand, was very nimble, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he flew up to the roof with a clatter, trying to hide from the beams of the hut. But it forgot that the wooden house here was very rudimentary, and there was no room for it to stand on the thin beams, but it almost hit the roof in a hurry, and it was so scrambled that it fell down again.

It landed next to the cat, its tail facing the doorway, its head sneaking under its wings and looking back, and when it saw Aoki looking at it, it croaked, "Oh, that, I'm ...... The wind blows, you know, if it weren't for that damn wind, I wouldn't be uncommon here......"

He meowed soundly, seconded the proposal, arched his body hard, and finally turned over, landed on all fours, and gasped for breath.

Aoki walked over directly, grabbed the crow and threw it on his head, and said, "Let's go." ”

Su Huilan picked up the full-fed hearty, shook her head helplessly and said, "If you eat again, no one will be able to hold you." ”

The crow croaked twice, but felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, so he did not speak again. It wasn't until people returned to the altar that it noticed that there were two people missing, so it couldn't help but secretly ask next to Aoki's ear, "Hey, it seems that there are two big guys missing?" ”

Aoki gestured to the place where the dead were buried, "There." ”

The crow twisted its neck in surprise, but did not crow again, only purring from its throat.

The stone steps of the altar are covered with vines and weeds, and where there is no grass, most of them are very smooth, like the stone monuments that are touched by tourists all year round in tourist attractions, and it is clear that people here often climb the altar along fixed positions and ceremonies.

The top of the altar is very flat, as if a pyramid has been slashed by a lazy waist, except that the pyramid is hollow and has a stone staircase diagonally downward. Unlike the stone steps outside, there is not a single grass to be found on the stone steps inside. It's reminiscent of the barren tabs on the islands of the South Pacific.

Descending the stone steps, you will reach the inside of the altar, where many large and small black stones stand, like a labyrinth arranged by a rockery. These stones are somewhat similar to the kind of stones in Tabu, and there are no weeds to be found on the stones or on the ground.

The lack of grass may not be enough to surprise people, after all, such places have been seen on earth, but the crow said something that made people tremble:

"Whoa, there's not even a single piece of bird poop here!"

The altar was old enough, and the Itsaans never entered the inside of the altar, so naturally they would not come to clean it. If there is no bird droppings, it means that there are very few birds flying in this sky. However, there are a lot of birds here, and just now, they saw a flock of birds flying by.

"Could it be that there is some special reason for the birds to deliberately avoid it when they fly by?" Mrs. Larry said.

"Radiation?" The reason that Su Huilan first thought of was this, they had analyzed this when they were on Tubuai Island, and they also went to ask for a radioactive detector.

Situ shook his head and said, "Not necessarily radiation." ”

"What's that?" Alice asked.

"Maybe this altar space didn't exist when the bird flew through the sky." Situ said.

"What?" People didn't understand what he meant.

Situ raised his head and said, "Look at the heavens." ”

Only then did people raise their heads and see the sun hanging high above the slope, the sun was not dazzling, and when they squinted, they could see colorful circles.

"What's wrong?"

"How many suns do you see?"

People were shocked to remember that there were originally three suns in the sky, but now they only see one.

"I'll go up and have a look!"

Petru moved nimblely, and climbed up the stone steps to the top of the altar with a cat's waist. He stood on the top and looked at the sky for a while, then stretched out his hand and shouted, "Three! It's three! ”

People climbed up. While crawling and looking up, there was always a sun in the sky. But the moment they climbed to the top, in a trance, the sky became three suns.

Strangely enough, however, when the people came down, the sun did not disappear immediately, but waited until they had reached the bottom of the altar by the last step of the altar, when the sky darkened and the sun changed from three to one.

"Two worlds inside and outside the altar?"

Everyone panicked, knowing that one of these two worlds must be true and the other false. The question is which one is true?
