"To be precise, this is a Linga stone statue, which is the symbol of Shiva, which is the Linga worship in the primitive religion of India. The www.biquge.infoKhmer people actually know how to use magnets to make lingas, it seems that we underestimate their civilization too much......" The professor circled around the stone platform, carefully observing the black stone pillar in front of him.

"What is Linga? Is it a deity they worship? As soon as Donnie finished asking, Stern noticed that Anne was looking a little unnatural.

"In the primitive religions of India, the linga is the symbol of the male genitalia of Shiva**, and the grooved square disc below it refers to the female ......"

Stern was not interested in listening to the professor's textbook explanations, but noticed Anne's crimson face.

Anne quickly changed the subject and asked the professor, "No wonder why we were led here, it's because there is a linga made of magnets, did you know about it before, professor?" ”

"Suffice it to say, just when we all felt something was wrong, I suspected that this Stonehenge could not be cracked so easily. If you think about it, when we were in the root maze on the periphery of the giant banyan tree, we thought of using a compass and following the direction of the roots on the ground to get out of the maze and find the trunk of the banyan tree, but the result seemed to be that we had fallen into the trap of the giant eye snake. ”

Donnie on the side also interjected: "Yes, yes, yes, I think the same way, because there is no compass on my body, at first I also used the easiest way to crack the maze to get out of the root maze, but found that it was almost useless, and then I tried to walk out by the root of the ground panel, but when I walked near the main trunk of the banyan tree, I saw the terrible thing and then passed out!" ”

Stern said strangely when he heard this, "Aren't you in a coma when you were attacked by that monster snake?" What horrible thing can make you unconscious? ”

"I... I don't think I've ever encountered a monster snake! As soon as I walked out of the maze of tree roots, I saw several terrifying walking skeletons rushing towards me, and then there was a huge black shadow in the air, staring at a huge green eyeball..... and then I was completely black in front of me, I don't know what happened......"

After listening to Donnie's narration, everyone realized how terrible things had happened to him, but fortunately he was not hurt by those weird monsters. At this time, everyone began to look around the surrounding environment again, looking at the mountains of skeletons and the square boulders standing on the periphery, there was suddenly an indescribable gloomy aura, for fear that they would all suddenly stand up......

Just as everyone was on the alert, Stern noticed an indescribable strangeness in the professor, combined with his unusual behavior and his calm answer. He suddenly had a bad guess, and in order to confirm his suspicion, he asked the professor, "Professor Morrill, since you know that the compass is useless in Stonehenge, why didn't you tell us earlier, and you deliberately led us to this black stone pillar?" ”

As soon as these words came out, both Anne and Donnie looked at Stern in surprise, and then turned to look at the professor, because they also suddenly realized the problem!

In the face of Stern's sudden question, the professor replied unhurriedly: "Sergeant, I don't know what you are suspecting, but I vouch in my own name that I have absolutely no intention of putting everyone in danger!" Because you can boldly assume that, firstly, if we didn't use the compass in the first place, how would we get out of this irregularity of Stonehenge? Don't forget that this megalithic labyrinth was first discovered by you and Kansa. Second, although I have already discovered that the direction of the compass may be out of order because of the disturbance of the magnetic field nearby, I can't know what is going on, so in that case we are not back to the first step? So why not try to follow the direction of this magnetic field, figure out what strange things these ancient Khmers set up, and then find a solution? ”

The professor perfectly answered and analyzed the questions from Stern, almost convincing Stern and Anne that his judgment was correct. But Stern was born with a very strong sense of insecurity, and there were some things that he had to figure out if he didn't figure it out, or if he still had some doubts.

So he thought for a moment, and then went on to ask the professor, "As you said, it seems that all this happened out of necessity, but have you ever considered that this will lead us all into a place where we can kill people?" It's like we followed the roots of the tree and strayed into the pile of bones set by the parasitic plants in the roots, which is likely to cause us to become dead corpses! ”

As he spoke, Stern deliberately pointed to the pile of human bones not far away.

"Sergeant, it was just an accident, it has nothing to do with where we are now, and I don't think this place necessarily has to be dangerous. We don't have any evidence that these bones were killed by some kind of creature, and don't you see that? There is a stone statue of Linga worshipped by the ancient Khmer people, and it is possible that these bones were previously believers who died spontaneously in front of the stone statue of their faith. ”

The professor thought for a moment and then added, "Do you know why they spent so much manpower and material resources to build a maze of such a large scale here? Do you know why this Linga statue was built in such a place? They even deliberately used magnet materials to guide us here, what is it for! As long as they wanted, they could have trapped us in the boulder maze to fend for ourselves, and even on the side of the banyan tree maze, they could have stocked a large number of poisonous snakes and beasts to kill us! But they didn't, which means that this place may be the key clue for us to find Samsara City! ”

When Stern heard the professor's words, he felt that the professor was a little incredible, so he asked, "So, after all, you are still looking for the ruins that have been lost for thousands of years, right?" And then find that temple full of treasures? And then ship these treasures to France to make a windfall? ”

Anne saw that the sergeant and the professor were about to start arguing again, but she felt a little too much when she heard what Stern said, and hurriedly persuaded her: "Can you calm down?" Sgt. Stern, I don't know what you misunderstand about the professor, but I have been working with Professor Morrill in archaeology for eight years, and I know very well that he is definitely not the kind of person who can be moved by money. I absolutely believe that he is very persistent in studying the history and culture of the Angkor Dynasty, because since I graduated and applied for the professorship, the professor has been dedicated to studying the history of the Angkor Dynasty. ”

Stern looked at Anne with a serious expression in front of him, his eyes softened again, and at the same time he felt that he had spoken too recklessly, and at the same time calmed down and apologized to the professor.

But he has always been thoughtful, he suddenly felt that he was prone to lose control of his emotions recently, and he knew very well that he was not the kind of person who was easily excited. And as a special combat team leader, when facing the enemy, the first thing is to do a good job of managing your emotions, and only when you do it yourself, can you be qualified to lead a special forces.

However, since entering Stonehenge, his emotions have become easily fluctuating, even if he has been out of the army for three years, he should not appear in this situation, is it because of the after-effects of the rout of that secret operation?

He thought about it and thought that it should have something to do with entering Stonehenge, especially now next to this strange black Linga statue, so he tried to ask the professor, "Professor, do you feel that after entering Stonehenge, our emotions have started to become more easily excited?" It's just a small fluctuation in the heart, but I just can't control it and want to show it? ”
