Chapter 487: Traces
"Now that you're sure, let's go back now, shall we? You want to see the diary, and I want to watch the Wheat Cup. Steven was upset and planned to end the tour early.
"Go back?" Perry looked at him strangely. "I told you we're here to look for the ruins, and so far we haven't even gotten out of the car."
"No, no, you don't understand." Steven said. "I've already carefully touched this place, and all kinds of detectors have taken turns to fight, but I have never found the so-called underground cavern."
"Probe?" Perry laughed. "They are only effective for ordinary relics, and they are completely useless for such a deliberately arranged and carefully preserved species."
"You know what? Mr. Steven. Perry held out a finger and put it in the center of his eyebrows. Some of the Ascendant ruins were discovered by sheer coincidence, or were predicted at the beginning of their design. ”
"That's a joke." Steven didn't believe it at all. "Not to mention the predictions made hundreds of millions of years ago, if they were there, how could they still escape detection? And what kind of coincidence is this? Oh, I saw it, would it still disappear into thin air? Perry...... You have to understand that no matter how deep and good it is, they still exist after all. ”
"No, you don't understand what I mean, if it doesn't want you to see it, you can't see them." Perry smiled at him.
"." Steven shook his head vigorously. "Can you be as invisible as a shadowless man when you are an ascender?"
"No, it's not about invisibility." Perry told Steven.
"A lot of Ascended Ruins......" he stared at Taylor with a puzzled expression. Not in our dimension. ”
……
Wearing airtight suits and carrying oxygen packs, the two got out of the airtight cabin at the back of the sweeper. As they walked a few standards around the old base along the former metal avenue, the fact was that as Steven had said, all the areas and the vicinity of the building had been carefully inspected, and there was still no entrance to the so-called Ascended Ruins.
"I always thought of that diary as a novel." Steven said to Perry beside him in the intercom. "The author seems to have the tone of a literary youth, a little depressed, maybe he had a whim at that time to compile a documentary version of "One Hundred Days of Horror".
He remembered Daniel, the only boy in his family who had been admitted to college. Taylor, the third brother was keen on all kinds of horror movies when he was a child, but he was the most disgusted with that kind of thing, and the two brothers also broke out more than once in holographic board wars about the choice of film sources. Of course, if you count it like this, Steven, who doesn't win every time, is indeed forced to watch a lot of horror movies.
"He must have written about the situation." Perry said in the communicator. "Maybe it's just from my own point of view, but those stories are real."
"How do you know? You haven't seen it. "Steven began to notice this Perry. The oddity in Gomez's words.
"I've been like you, Mr. Steven, and started this frenzied journey to the ruins of the Ascended because of a journal." Perry walked ahead, his eyes on his feet, not missing the slightest hint on the road.
"Is it part of that long story?" Steven asked.
"It's too long for you to imagine." Perry seemed to be absent-mindedly answering him, but somehow, Steven suddenly felt that he meant something else in his words.
"Okay, this is the second round, what the hell do you want to check when it is, I said before I came, the base has strict rules on when to go out......" Seeing that Perry still had no intention of going back, Steven couldn't help but remind him again.
"Wait a minute, I'm sure we're not far from getting closer to the truth." Perry turned, a pleading look on his face, his face glowing in his helmet.
"Wait, don't move." Steven stopped him suddenly, and then he saw that in Perry's helmet visor, there seemed to be some kind of strange luster coming from within, it was like sunlight, and it was like a metallic glow, and he didn't feel it at all?
"What are you carrying? Is it the new watch that shines? He asked Perry.
"Light? What light? Perry curiously looked at his chest from where his helmet met met and his airtight suit.
"What? Can't you see? That beam of light seems to be coming from your clothes. Steven didn't understand, the light source looked very obvious.
"You see the beam?" Perry's voice trembled. "What shape is it!? Tell me, tell me! ”
"Shape?" Steven didn't quite understand the young man's emotion, but after his reminder, he did notice that the glint on Perry's face was like a sign.
"It's like a guiding arrow...... It is heading towards ...... There. He followed the direction of the beam and pointed to a nearby clearing.
Perry heard that he almost used the speed of the sprint, the planet's small gravity and the shattering notch of the metal pavement caused his gravity boots to stomp into the air, causing him to bounce upwards, and Steven quickly pulled him back to the ground with the rope that connected the two.
"Don't kill you? So in a hurry? He grumbled. There's nothing there, didn't we just check it out? ”
"No, no, we just didn't get the point right." Perry quickly came to the clearing, and he crawled on the metal floor, his fingers laboriously picking open a metal plate.
"They must have filled in the inlet, you see, the color of the soil." He pointed to the soft, yellow soil beneath the metal plates, which was very different from the planet's surface.
"It's ...... Vermiculite? Steven strangely stepped forward and grabbed a handful with his hand, the tiny particles were stationary on his glove, and the helmet sight glass locked on one of the magnified grains, which was a cylindrical artificial soil, Steven had confirmed it at this time.
"They couldn't use the hard rock of Cadmus, so they used vermiculite from growing crops to fill the entrance." Steven frowned slightly in his helmet.
So everything written in that diary is true? The golden hall of the Ascended Relics, a miner who has been haunted by ancient evil spirits......
So what exactly am I doing? Why did you come to this damn place? Steven suddenly became frightened.
