30. Hanging Mountain
Chang Le's theory of gods and evil, I can easily understand it from my own point of view.
For weak animals, human beings are equivalent to omniscient and omnipotent gods, and what human beings do is not at fault in the eyes of human beings, and if we change to the perspective of animals, then human beings can also be said to be doing evil all the time.
God, the same way.
We didn't continue to discuss what the Tsukiyomi goddess had done to the people on the island, but continued to make it to the South Island as fast as we could.
Time is only a vague concept for me now, because of the relationship of hemophilia I don't feel any tiredness, the same. In the same way, Qiao Wei and the others have become numb to time.
We didn't know exactly how long we had walked, except that our hands and feet had been frozen from the colder weather. Fortunately, we didn't encounter the group of vampires along the way, and we made it to the bottom of the lonely mountain. I still do the work of climbing the mountain, and when I get to the top of the mountain, I pull the others up one by one.
The door of the research base was closed, I went over and pressed the red round cake next to the door, and after waiting for a long time, the door slowly opened inward, and the person who opened the door was Xiao Guo. She was already wearing a German overcoat, which did not match her braided hairstyle at all, and looked very funny.
Xiao Guo saw that there was still a large group of people coming back together, and hurriedly shouted loudly at the base: "Yang Donghui! Your brother Le is here! ”
"Ahh Got it!!! ”
A big bear-like cry came out of the base with echoes, and after a while, Yang Donghui also ran down the stairs from the lower floor of the base. He also wore a military coat with a machine gun and two rows of bullets hanging from his body, which felt similar to the winter version of Contra.
Chang Le was also very happy to see Yang Donghui, this joy was not pretended.
The two people didn't come to a hearty hug, Chang Le just patted Yang Donghui's shoulder hard, and nodded at Yang Donghui and said, "It's okay!" Let's take a hand and help the brothers inside. ”
"Good! We just found a place to rest, and clean bandages, and I don't know if the medicine will be used. ”
"Let's talk about the medicine later, help people first." Changle ordered.
"Okay!" Yang Donghui happily agreed, and then took over the rest of the work.
Yang Donghui was busy taking care of the injured crew members, while Xiao Guo called Qiao Wei and me aside, and then said to us mysteriously: "I found something that will definitely surprise you!" ”
Before I could ask, Xiao Guo displayed a photo horizontally in front of Qiao Wei and me.
It was a black-and-white photograph with no one on it, just plain landscapes. In the center of the photo is a towering mountain in the shape of a cloud cone, and strangely enough, there is nothing under the clouds, and the mountain seems to be a hanging mountain towering above the clouds!
If I usually see this kind of photo, I will definitely think that it is a fake composite photo, but this base was built during World War II, and there should not be this kind of jishu at that time, so the authenticity of the photo should be certain.
"Don't think it's just one! There are hundreds of the same photos, taken from all angles. Xiao Guo said another astonishing word.
"Where are the other photos?" I said hurriedly.
"On the next floor, I'll take you there!" After speaking, Xiao Guo couldn't wait to drag me to the staircase.
The research base in the entire mountain has a total of five floors, including the most entrance platform, and Xiao Guo named the four floors below the platform from top to bottom as the next floor and the second floor...... Lower four floors. During the time we were out, Xiao Guo and Yang Donghui checked the entire base, and the photos of the Hanging Mountain were found in a room that looked like a dormitory on the next floor.
The three of us quickly arrived at that room.
The furnishings in the room are very simple, with only a single bed, a wooden desk, and a one-metre-high metal utility cupboard. The door to the glove cabinet was open, and inside were an old-fashioned camera and a boxy metal suitcase.
Xiao Guo quickly took out the suitcase from the utility cabinet and put it on the table, and after opening the lid, there were boxes full of black and white photos stacked inside, all of which were the same as the mountain suspended on the clouds that Xiao Guo had shown us before!
"It's all here! The one I showed you just now was one I took out of it, and I didn't see all of them. Xiao Guo explained.
"Then let's see it all." With that, I took the suitcase and flipped it up, poured all the photos on the table, and then spread the photos one by one on the table.
Some of the photos are very thick with clouds and mountains looming; In some photos, the clouds are a little thinner, and the mountains are more visible; Some of the photos were even taken at night, and the moon could be seen from behind the mountain. There were almost 200 photographs in the box, and only one was a man: a heavily armed German soldier with the hanging mountain in the background, smiling at the camera.
It was clear that the photos were not taken on the same day, and that the sky had not changed on the island at the time they were taken, and there were no strange incidents such as vampires or missing reconnaissance teams.
Looking at these photos, a strange thought also appeared in my mind - could it be that the palace mentioned in the diary was on this hanging mountain?
I immediately told Qiao Wei and Xiao Guo about my idea.
They looked at each other, but neither of them contradicted me, as if they had thought of it with me.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you call me! ”
Suddenly, Chang Le's voice broke the silence in the room. As he spoke, he walked over to the table and picked up a picture and looked at it.
"This is...... Immortal Mountain? Chang Le asked the question with a serious expression, which seemed like a joke.
But strange to say, I really don't think he was joking, for a moment I also thought that this mountain was the residence of the gods, maybe the palace of the goddess of the moon reading was on this mountain.
"Have you seen this mountain on the island?" I asked.
Qiao Wei shook his head first, Xiao Guo waved his hand and said no, Zuihou is Chang Le, he also said that he had not seen a similar mountain view, and he had not seen any palace-style buildings on this island.
First a diary recorded in the destruction of the army by the mysterious Liliang, and then a picture of a hanging mountain on a pile of clouds, these unimaginable things clearly form a clue related to the goddess of the moon reading!
