Volume 1 Unheard of Stars Chapter 36 Under the Mask

Everywhere the white light went, pieces of square armor metal walls were reflected, and when this light hit the cliff, the abyss disappeared, and the cliff disappeared, and then Jiang Luo found that the place he was in was not a cliff at all, but a huge metal platform floating in the air. The picture that Fang just saw should have been realized by some unknown projection technology, but following the jerboa monster from the coffin passage to this wide space, what they saw was obviously a cliff, but at this time they were on a suspended platform, and the only possibility was that they were deceived by their own vision!

Jiang Luo had heard a theory before that the human brain is actually very easy to deceive, the five senses collect information for the brain, and the nerves are stimulated to produce brain activity. There was a terrible hypothesis called "Brain in a Vat": Suppose you were operated on by an evil scientist and your brain was cut out of your body and placed in a vat containing a nutrient solution that kept your brain alive. The nerve endings of the brain are connected to a computer, which is programmed to send information to the brain in order to keep you with the illusion that everything is perfectly normal. For you, it seems that people, objects, and the sky still exist, and your own movements and body sensations can be input. Scientists take memories of brain surgery and feed them into the environment, your daily life, and the scary reason is how do you know you're not in this predicament?

The massive metal platform floated rapidly in midair, but the person on it did not feel the slightest sense of undulation. This near-circular space, the size of a football field, is surrounded by black passages through the metal walls, and appears to be the center of an ant's nest if you compare it to an anthill. After rising for about two hundred meters, the metal wall at the top of the space opened a door when the platform was closer, just in time for the platform to be embedded in it.

The space above the top was filled with all kinds of dark thick "rattans", Jiang Luo picked it up and took a closer look, and found that it was a connecting wire made of some kind of metal pipe, and there was a translucent object like glass fiber in the metal pipe, which was covered with some kind of dark fungus and ash due to the erosion of the long years. Surrounded by these metal pipes of different thicknesses, thick as the size of a water tank, thin as aquatic plants, like countless tentacles growing on the wall, making people feel dense and frightened.

After walking dozens of steps, this deep space was full of dust and dust except for those metal pipes, but when I looked up, it was a deep pitch black, and the light of the searchlight was directly swallowed up by the beam. After searching around, Jiang Luo finally found some traces, and in a metal pipe the size of a human hug, there was a strange corpse. The upper half of its corpse still retains its flesh and skin like a mummy, but the lower half of its body only has skeletons, Jiang Luo looked at it carefully, and found that it was very similar to the jerboa monster he had encountered in the coffin forest before, it also had no eyes, and its mouth was like a slit, but the skull of this corpse was even larger. On the left and right sides of its ears are pierced two dark black metal rings, and thin fiberglass is condensed into its piercings.

Jiang Luo guessed that this kind of fiberglass-like thing should act as a cable and data cable, and when this creature plugged it into its body, it may be to obtain energy from the outside world, or it may be to output information. If it's the latter, then this group of organisms could be some kind of extraterrestrial life. Thanks to his previous hobby of occultism, Jiang Luo has always had many bold ideas in this regard.

Wait, if that's the case, then the monster's so-called ear piercings on the left and right sides are most likely its eyes! It's not that it doesn't have eyes, it's just that it grows on both sides. The so-called eyes and ears are for human beings, this kind of monster is originally a supernatural existence, its eyes may not exist for seeing, and its ears are not for hearing, maybe it is listening through its eyes, and its ears are seeing, and it is not known!

As a human being, I always like to look at other things from the perspective of human beings, aliens are humanoids, and the exploration of life on alien planets is also based on the existence of life on earth, which is ridiculous. Because of incomprehension and blind arrogance, human beings are always accustomed to looking at other beings as gods, which also leads to human stupidity.

It was easy to lose his sense of direction in complete darkness, Jiang Luo tried to make a mark on the metal wall with a long knife, but found that he couldn't grind any scratches at all, not only the metal wall, but also the metal pipes were also very hard. He continued on with his searchlight on, and found several more identical corpses in the metal tubes, but they were more severely damaged than before, from some flesh to all bones, and finally even the bones were mutilated. Jiang Luo also found scars on their bones, including one corpse with half of its skull cut off, and he guessed that these monsters should have been injured in battle, and this could be a medical point. Walking all the way from the entrance wall door, the nine-story tomb to the metal wall space leading to the secret passage, this is like a huge underground palace, and those monsters may be the tomb keeper beasts raised by the tomb owner, so those people in front will be attacked and die. This underground palace could never have been built by humans, and the strange totems, the corpses of monsters in the coffins, and the projections from 65 million years ago all show that it is unusual.

Multiply!

Jiang Luo heard a metal pipe swaying behind him, and he turned around vigilantly, holding a knife in one hand and a searchlight in the other. A miserable white hand stretched out from the metal pipe, with only three finger claws, it was the jerboa monster he had seen before, it got out of the metal pipe, and there were some glass fibers wrapped around its body, although it had no eyes, Jiang Luo felt that it was watching him.

The heat in his body flowed, and Jiang Luo cautiously held the long knife. There was a hurried sound in the darkness, and more than a dozen jerboa monsters gathered from all around, jumping one by one to attack Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo dodged the jerboa monsters with his reaction speed, but their speed was extremely fast, and Jiang Luo's long knife could not cut them, so he could only dodge their siege and then flee in all directions, but due to the large number of monsters, although he was able to avoid deadly attacks, the sharp claws of the jerboa monster could add many wounds to Jiang Luo's body every time.

"Brother, run to me!" Just when Jiang Luo was deadlocked, a voice sounded behind him.

Not far away, in a small gap in the light, a head poked out, it was a secret door!

Jiang Luo ignored the huge wound on his back that had been cut, and quickly ran towards the secret door.

He slammed the door in, and then slammed it shut, the secret door of unknown metal was heavy, but the man who had just called him was nowhere to be seen.

Wrong!

Before Jiang Luo could react, a small electric light suddenly appeared behind him, and a purple arc hit Jiang Luo's body, he felt that his eyes were dark, and he fell over.

When Jiang Luo woke up again, he found himself in a pitch-black metal trough, his limbs were firmly bound, and there were metal bands from his neck to his waist and thighs to hold him in place.

It was a deep and dark room, and suddenly a strong light shone on his face, and Jiang Luo's eyes were empty.

"You're awake!" A familiar voice sounded in Jiang Luo's ears.

The light flickered, revealing a scarred face, made up of stitched scraps of flesh.

"Is that you?" Jiang Luo saw the clown mask on the platform behind him, he was the clown man who disappeared before! It turns out that his appearance is so hideous and terrifying, no wonder he wears a mask all day long.

"What do you want to do?"

"Don't be nervous, son of Kunyan." At this moment, he began to speak fluently.

"Son of Kunyan? What do you mean? ”

"Being able to come here means that you have Kunyang genes in your body, so ......"

"Wait, what are the Kunyans?"

"As you can see, everything here was built by the Kunyang people, who in terms of your civilization, belong to a long prehistoric civilization, but unfortunately all of them were lost in a cataclysm...... A quarter of the genetic makeup of your modern human beings have the recessive gene factors of the Kunyang people, and the Kunyang people can be regarded as the ancestors of human beings......" The voice explained to Jiang Luo sympathetically.

"What did you bring me here and arrest me?"

"After that catastrophe, the surviving Kunyang people hid underground, but some of them degenerated into some kind of cannibalistic monster, which is ridiculous, the once highly developed civilization turned out to be a blood-drinking monster in the end!" The clown man muttered to himself as he opened a yellowed parchment codex.

"According to the book, the blood of the Son of Kunyan can awaken an ancient being, and when it is revived, it will end everything!"

"What's in it for you? You're human too! ”

"No, mystery is the greatest being. Don't you wonder what it is that the so-called ancient existence is enough to put an end to everything? Everything here is so mysterious, what an amazing prehistoric civilization! ”

"You madman!"

The clown man frantically pointed to the five metal troughs next to him, "The blood of six Kunyang descendants is enough to open this ruin!" ”

He walked over to the other five metal troughs, which were also bound to five "descendants of Kunyang", male and female, and he used his knife to make a vertical cut in their arms, and the blood flowed down the Yin lines in the metal trough to the huge six-pointed star pattern outside.

The screams rang out in the darkness, but quickly subsided, as they were no longer able to scream due to the blood loss.

When it was Jiang Luo's turn, the clown man froze for a moment, and his body under the black robe turned out to be withered, and the clown man smiled distortedly: "What kind of monster are you, could it be that the genes of the Kunyang people have been revived in your body?" ”

He used a knife to cut Jiang Luo's artery, and it coagulated again in less than two minutes after the blood burst out, it was the effect of the heat flow in his body, and the wound was slowly beginning to heal from the black granulation.

"Ah, what is this?" The clown man seemed to see some treasure, and made another cut with his knife.

"Hiss~" Jiang Luo gritted his teeth, but at this moment he couldn't control the heat flow in his body, and his ability to heal automatically attracted the attention of the clown man, and he experimented over and over again, constantly adding wounds to Jiang Luo's body.

Listening to Jiang Luo's screams, he smiled excitedly: "Interesting! It's so much fun! ”

Jiang Luo's blood flowed down the metal trough to the six-pointed star, at this moment he was dying, and the other five people who had lost a lot of blood had already gone into shock, but he did not faint under the effect of his healing ability, but the clown man kept torturing him, constantly cutting his blood vessels.

"Hey, it's almost full!"

The clown man glanced at the six-pointed star that was about to be filled with blood at his feet, he activated a button, and the other five metal troughs were closed, and a huge metal plate pressed down, and the five people inside could imagine what the fate was, just like a juicer, and the liquid like watermelon juice gushed out at the moment of pressing down.

"You're funny!"

Perhaps it was Jiang Luoqi's unique self-healing ability that caught the attention of the clown man, and he slowly pushed the metal trough towards the outside of the six-pointed star.
