"W-How is this possible?" Di Qiu was completely shocked.

"You think I'm joking?" Jessica asked with a serious face, "I saw those two slaves poaching in the mountains with guns and looting around the town, but I never saw them loaded with bullets, they both broke the flintlock device and fired it. ”

Di Qiu's heart was awe-inspiring: a gun that can kill people in a tangible way without bullets? Is this a kind of black technology that is far beyond modern times? Or is it a kind of magic that only exists in myths and legends?

"You've tried guns?" Di Qiu asked.

"Of course I tried!" Jessica replied.

"How?" Di Qiu asked.

"No," Jessica replied, "I can't shoot." ”

"Oh?" "That's weird, let me try it too." ”

As he spoke, Di Qiu turned sideways, pointed one of the blasters at the door of the duty room, broke the flintlock device, and then pulled the trigger, but the trigger did not move.

"Huh?" Di Qiu's fingers were strengthened, and the trigger still could not be pulled.

"It's weird!" Dick handed Jessica back another blaster, holding the handle of the gun with both hands, and the two index fingers worked together to pull the trigger, but they still didn't move.

"This ...... Can you pull? Dick asked Jessica with a tilted head.

"No," Jessica said, "I even tried to destroy one of them, but it didn't work." ”

"Really?" Di Qiu asked.

"If you don't believe me, you can give it a try." Jessica still had a cold expression.

Di Qiu held the head and handle of the blaster gun with both hands, trying to break it, but he used all his strength, and the gun in his hand was still unscathed - you know, Di Qiu is two meters five tall, weighs nearly 400 kilograms, has a muscular body, and the breaking force of his hands can reach several tons, which can easily break the chemical energy barrel of the tank.

"Get out of the way." Dick motioned for Jessica to lean back, then threw the gun to the ground, pulled out the "woodpecker" from his waist, and fired a shot at the blaster on the ground.

"Boom!" The electromagnetic energy bullet accurately hit the body of the gun, and the huge kinetic energy also blasted a large hole in the floor.

When the dust cleared, the two of them could see that the blaster was still lying intact at the bottom of the pit.

Di Qiu leaned down to pick out the blaster gun and wiped it clean, the body of the gun was still intact, not even a single mark was left.

"Ha," Di Qiu shook his head with a wry smile, "This is interesting! By the way, Captain Jessica, don't you have anything to say? If you've tried everything, why do you still come to me? ”

"I'm a robot," Jessica said, pointing to herself, "and an inorganic elemental body, I guessed that this blaster can only be triggered by organic lifeforms, and all biological characteristics, such as body temperature, smell, sound, fingerprints, and even consciousness, spirit, and various senses, can be triggered, so I came to you." But now it seems that you can't either. ”

"Hmph, I see," Dick said, "are you using me?" ”

"Officer Di, you're going a little too far," Captain Jessica said coldly, "If I'm not sincere, I can just go back to ABP and report, and I still need you?" ”

"Hmm...... Also right...... Well," said Dick, "believe you for now, have you ever tried a gun with another slave?" ”

"Yes," Jessica said, "I found a few slaves from the town and tried it, but it didn't work. ”

"In other words, isn't it something that can be triggered by ordinary biological features? Or was our previous judgment wrong? Is there really something special about those two slaves? Di Qiu continued, "By the way, did you find any other objects or clues from them?" ”

"There are objects, but I didn't find any valuable clues!" Jessica replied.

"Huh? You bring their belongings to me and show them. Dick said.

"Wait a minute, I'll get it in the car." Jessica said, walking towards the door, and Dick moved a chair and sat down.

Soon, Captain Jessica came back with a large package, pulled a desk, spread it out on the desk, and said, "It's all here." ”

Approaching the table, Dick looked at the table with the professional eye of a professional police officer: coins, satellite phones, maps, daggers, keys, accessories, photographs, canned food...... Finally, his gaze fell on a look of age animal skin covered in strange writing.

Di Qiu stretched out his hand to pick up the animal skin and inspect it, only to see that one side of the animal skin was full of strange words, and the other side was painted with a mysterious perspective of the human body, on which different lines and veins were outlined in different colors, like nerve veins, but also like blood vessels.

Dick pointed to the hide and asked Jessica, "Do you recognize the words on it?" ”

"I don't recognize," Jessica said, "Those two slaves took it out from time to time and looked at it, and there were a few times when they argued for some reason, saying something like 'Qi Hai Acupoint', 'Ren Du Ermai' or something, I couldn't understand any of them." Let me scan the strange words above, and wait a minute. ”

As she spoke, Jessica's eyes shot a red light, and she scanned the words on the animal skin, and then began to decipher them silently, and after about a few minutes, Jessica said: "I compared these words in the database, these words are the words invented by a Chinese dynasty called 'Xia' in eastern Asia during the ancient period of human slaves, called 'Xia Rope Script', which is said to be the first written language invented by human slaves from the "knotted rope chronicle" to the civilized period, which is older than the history of oracle bone inscriptions. ”

"What's on it?" Di Qiu asked.

"It's messy, there is the text, and there are also notes written by hand later, and these notes have a variety of handwriting, which should have been written by many people." Jessica Dao.

"What's in the text?" Di Qiu asked.

"It's like a scripture, it's like a medical book, but when you read it throughout, it's like metaphysics or the occult." Jessica Dao.

"What about the annotations?" Di Qiu asked.

"It should be some experience, or an epiphany or something." Jessica replied.

"These two words look like titles, what are they, can you decipher them?" Di Qiu asked, pointing to the two large summer rope characters on the animal skin.

"Translated, it should be pronounced 'Zhou Tian'." Jessica replied.

"Sunday?" Di Qiu wondered, "Where do you seem to have heard of it, you looked it up in the database?" ”

Jessica was silent for more than ten seconds before replying, "Zhou Tian, a kind of Qi cultivation and Qi cultivation method for cultivators in ancient times, it is said that once these cultivators succeed in cultivation, they can be reborn and gain immortality. After saying that, Jessica suddenly looked at Di Qiu and asked, "Officer Di, how old have you lived?" ”

"One hundred and fifty-two years old," said Dick, "what?" You ask this, has something to do with the ancient books of animal skins? ”

"It's much stronger than the indigenous slaves, and I've heard that the average lifespan of your beasts has increased to two hundred and sixty years," Jessica said, "If what is recorded in Zhou Tian is a historical fact, then thousands of years ago, the ancient cultivators of the human slaves have reached or even surpassed your current average lifespan......

Di Qiu and Jessica seemed to think of something at the same time, and suddenly suddenly realized that they said in unison: "Those two slaves are cultivators?!" ”

"It seems that we are getting closer to the truth," Di Qian then smiled, "I think we need to take a trip to Qinghe Ranch." ”
