The office can be hundreds of square meters, with partitioned desks with all kinds of computers on top of it, and an ultra-modern server next to it, and the indicator lights are constantly flashing.

A large desk rests against the wall, and the rest of the space is a few chairs, where no less than a dozen people sit talking about work, all with serious expressions.

Lao Lin brought me in, and someone greeted me, pointed at me and asked, who is this. Lao Lin didn't explain much, just said that this was the key gentleman who was invited to crack the password.

Hearing him say this, these people in the audience turned their heads to look at me, their eyes full of curiosity and distrust.

I wondered what was going on here, where did the programmers go?

However, it can be judged that so many modern computers are working, and it seems that they are working with the professional counterpart of programmers, are they cracking some files on the network?

It doesn't seem to be reasonable, how could a programmer disappear, could it be that he got into the network?

Lao Lin pushed open a side door of the office and wanted to take me in, I was about to take a step, Lao Lin turned around and said, "Xiao Wang, can you promise me one thing." ”

I motioned to him.

"Whatever you see for a while, keep it a secret for the rest of the day. All right? He said.

I was filled with curiosity and nodded and said no problem.

Lao Lin took a deep breath and pushed the door open, and I followed. When I saw the scene in the door, I was shocked. I really didn't expect it to be like this.

Outside is a modern office, separated by only a door, and inside is a natural cave with cave walls on all sides, and the black rock wall has an uneven surface. Entering here, the light quickly dimmed, and above the cave wall hung some light bulbs with low wattage, shining with a dark yellow light, which looked deep and eerie.

Several people were talking in their overalls, pointing into the depths of the cavern.

They saw us coming, and one of them, a slightly gloomy man, came over and asked Lao Lin who this was. Lao Lin hurriedly said that a key person he invited was able to crack the code.

The man looked me up and down, and in a friendly manner, he held out his hand, and I shook it. He asked, "Hello, I don't know what to call it?" ”

I told him that my name was Wang Qiang and I was from Jiangbei.

The man was obviously shocked and blurted out: "The programmer is also from Jiangbei." You must know each other, right? Has Lao Lin introduced the situation here to you? ”

I looked at Lin Liping and said that Brother Lin had said it briefly, but I didn't know the specific details yet.

The man was a little dissatisfied, looking at Lin Liping, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction. He felt that Lao Lin didn't explain things clearly, and casually brought outsiders in, and his practice was very lax.

Lin Liping is not a fool, he wanted to explain, the man waved his hand and said, "Hello Wang Qiang, my name is Luo Yishui, this place is currently the property of my company, and it was also left to me by my father." ”

No wonder he looks temperamental, and he is still a big boss.

"My father has passed away, and this place appears in his will, so I have to take good care of it," he said. Later, when I sent someone to clean the building, I discovered the secret hidden here. You come with me. ”

He had someone hand me a flashlight, and each of us took one and went in from the cave. The hole is flared and narrows as you go forward, and at the end, you encounter a stone wall in front of it.

There are light bulbs set up in the high place, and the faint light shines down, and you can see that there are many ancient characters engraved on this wall.

I lifted my flashlight, and the light pierced the darkness and landed on the wall. I don't know any of the above words, but rather than a kind of text, it looks more like a pictorial chronicle of the beginning of primitive people's enlightenment in ancient times.

I probably swept around, and most of the composition of these words is composed of dots and lines, this point is very particular, and the center hollow is a small circle. Several dots connect several lines to form different forms of text, some like snowflakes, some are triangles and squares, and some are more complex.

Seeing that I was looking at it so carefully, Luo Yishui was full of hope: "Mr. Wang, do you know these words?" ”

I shook my head, "Never." ”

His expression was instantly disappointed, and I immediately said, "But these words make me think of one thing." ”

He hurriedly asked what it was.

I said, "It's a bit like our ancient Chinese Bagua diagram, I remember that Bagua is also composed of dots and connecting lines. ”

Luo Yishui nodded: "Yes, it's good that you can see this layer." That's what I thought when I first saw this stone door. ”

"What?" I was stunned: "This is not a wall, is it a door?" ”

Luo Yishui nodded: "Otherwise, how could the programmer disappear behind here?" ”

I blinked, my throat moved, I felt incredulous, and the flashlight shone on the stone wall again: "Cheng, the programmer is missing behind here?" ”

Luo Yishui said: "After I first found out that there were such words on it, I became very interested and found someone to rub the words down. At first, I thought it was some kind of ancient lost text, so I asked for some university historians, but no one could solve it. Later, by chance, I met Lao Lin. ”

Lin Liping nodded with some pride.

Luo Yishui continued: "Lao Lin knows this kind of writing, and he told me what they are. ”

"Lao Lin, you are amazing," I said, "what are these words?" ”

Lin Liping blinked and said, "Maybe you can't believe it, the words on it come from the underworld." ”

I was shocked: "What did you say? Say it again? ”

Lin Liping and Luo Yishui glanced at each other and smiled proudly. In such a dim and dark environment, the smile between the two of them is a bit infiltrating.

Lin Liping continued: "Hades. It is the place where people go when they die. ”

"Don't scare me." I say.

Lin Liping came to the stone wall with a half-short body, gently touched the wall with his hand, and said, "Because of work, I happened to get an ancient booklet, which compiled how to crack the Yin script. In the ancient worldview, in fact, the underworld is real, not only existing, but also a world of its own. If there is a world, there must be civilization and writing. Therefore, the writing of the underworld is called the Yin script. ”

I became very interested, walked to the wall, touched the surface of the potholes with my hand, and said, "If it is Yin on it, it is ...... inside."

Lin Liping and Luo Yishui glanced at each other and said, "It's likely to be the underworld." ”

I said, "Hell is hell, isn't that a place where people can only go after they die?" Will it break the material link between the two worlds of death and yin and yang? ”

Luo Yishui said: "There is a legend of the gate of hell all over the world, it is said that in the early years, the Soviet exploration team dug a well, and hit a particularly deep place, and heard the cry from hell. Therefore, the world of the underworld should not only be a spiritual existence, but also connected to our yang world at the physical level. ”

I gently tapped the stone wall with my hand, making a hollow sound that could be heard. I thought for a moment and said, "How can you be sure that the programmer is in?" ”

Lin Liping said: "This matter has to start from the beginning. Mr. Luo invited me here, and I used the method in the book to crack the text. I used to be a staunch materialist, and I thought that the statement of the underworld was pure nonsense, and the method of cracking the booklet was the technique of slaying dragons, and it was not used at all. Mr. Luo invited me here, and I used a pair of pamphlets, and I thought I would be able to crack it soon, but it wasn't like that. ”

"How?" I asked.

"The booklet only records the idea of decryption, and the specific decryption process requires a lot of comparison and calculation." Lin Liping said: "I used to deal with programmers, and this person was very open-minded and capable, so I invited him here. The programmer was right, he cracked it after he arrived, and used a lot of methods, and I remember that there was also 'shelling' or something, all of which were technical terms. In the end, a part of it was cracked. ”

"What's the crack?" I asked with interest.

Lin Liping said: "You may not believe it, but what is written on this wall has something to do with seven days after a person's death. ”

"Seven days after a person's death?" I vaguely thought of something, and I wasn't sure, "What's that?" ”

"Seven days after death," he said, "there is still a chance for the soul to come back to life." ”

I was so shocked that I almost didn't sit on the floor, how could this statement be exactly the same as described in the book "Hell Changes".

Luo Yishui was a little excited, and lowered his voice: "We suspect that the text on this is likely to tell the method of how to return yang within seven days after death." ”

"And then?" My throat was ringing.

Lin Liping recounted the whole process of the programmer's disappearance.

The programmer came here a few days ago, and no one believed him at first, including Luo Yishui. The programmer used extremely superb computer knowledge to crack the text on the stone wall, and many of them could not be broken for a while, but it probably meant that it came out. The above is about the rules of the world of the underworld, and from the analysis of the words on the stone wall, it is likely that the underworld is a labyrinth-like place. The labyrinth is not only intricate in structure, but also in function. Based on the text on the stone wall, the programmer deduced that the purpose of the existence of the underworld was probably to trap the ghosts from coming out, just like trapping guinea pigs.

I listened in a cold sweat.

Then one day, the programmer suddenly disappeared. These days, he has been living in this office underground, using the computer to crack the code day and night, and every time I see him, he is fighting in front of the computer, and one day he is suddenly gone, which seems very strange.

Everyone thought he was out, but he didn't see him after waiting for a long time. Luo Yishui set up a lot of cameras here, called up the video to watch, and saw that late at night the night before, the programmer walked into the cave alone, disappeared into the darkness, and did not come out until now.

Speaking of this, Luo Yishui was a little unhappy: "The programmer must have discovered something, otherwise he would not have been able to open this wall and go behind the wall." Why didn't he tell us? ”

I said, "Is it possible, he just wanted to verify his results, opened the wall and went to the back, but he couldn't come out." This wall is most likely one-way traffic. ”
