Chapter 17: The Third Spiritual Tablet
Squeezing through the heavy crack in the door, I glanced at the old egg who was still struggling to get in, and then raised my legs and walked in, the flashlight swept forward, and the metal reflection around the passage was like walking in a science fiction movie, but the narrow passage was like a passage to the tomb, and the alternation of the two styles was easy to give people the illusion.
The metallic texture is very strong, reflecting light on all sides, forming a bizarre and strange world, the old egg came in very carefully after sticking to the distance of half a step behind me, and followed step by step, for fear of falling behind.
The passage is not large, on the contrary it is very narrow, but it is very long, and there are many forks, and the slightest carelessness may separate the two of us.
Lao Dan asked in a low voice: "Lao Li, the more I look at it here, the more I feel that something is wrong, did we go to the wrong set?" Shouldn't it be that weird underworld? β
I motioned for him not to speak, and looked carefully at the reflection of the light, and felt a sense of unease in my heart, but this uneasiness was quickly suppressed by my sneer.
It's just that this bizarre place is really a little unsettling, and I walked forward for a distance, crossing the first few forks, and there is still no end in sight of the metal pipe, neither up nor down, and has been stretching forward in parallel.
At this time, Lao Dan put forward a constructive suggestion and said: "Since it is not downward, nor is it upward, why don't we keep walking on the left, and when we encounter a fork, we also face the left, don't we find the center point?" β
The old egg is still very useful at this critical juncture.
But as he said, I seemed to feel a little wrong, I always felt that there was a line of sight peeping at us, and there was more than one, I felt that there should be many people watching us, and at the same time, Lao Dan also noticed it, and whispered with a little trill: "Lao Li, you also feel it, huh?" Could it be that there is some kind of camera installed here or something? Why do I always feel like we're being watched like monkeys? β
"Not peeping, but blatantly looking at us!" I answer in the affirmative.
"Blatant?"
The old man looked left and right in surprise and said, "There is no one around." As he spoke, he suddenly crouched down, looked at the metal wall carefully, and even tapped his finger on it a few times, and continued in a puzzled tone: "Will these metal walls suddenly crack like in science fiction movies, and there are a lot of zombies lying in them and then attacking us?" β
"Zombies?" I shook my head and said, "Maybe there will be a lot of robots, so don't think about these boring things, just keep walking, if we go a little longer, we'll have to leave." β
The old man straightened his hair against the bright metal wall and shook his head in a chic manner, "Okay, we'll all listen to you." β
The moment he stood up, my heart suddenly burst out, and I hurriedly walked behind the old egg, and instantly entered another state, and the old egg just wanted to say: It's so cold. Immediately I slapped him on the back of the neck and fainted, I grabbed him and looked gloomily at the reflection of the crouching on the metal wallβanother old egg.
I quickly took a step back, and found that it was not just the weird old egg in front of me who looked at us, and looked at the metal walls around him vigilantly, all the walls that could be reflected, all the old eggs with strange expressions were squatting inside.
Such a terrifying picture, if it were an ordinary person here, it would definitely be scared to pee their pants, these identical human figures stretched their bodies together, and slowly crawled out of the metal wall, I snorted coldly in my heart, put the old egg on my back, and continued to march forward, the intersection of reality and shadow behind me, the long tongue of the dead rolled towards a row of figures on the right, and suddenly turned into black smoke, and dozens or even hundreds of mouths suddenly cracked up and down Zhou's body, and those black shadows seemed to be sucked by the whirlpool, and they flew upside down into those mouthparts in the shape of an hourglass.
It was just a moment of effort, and I caught up with my pace, and at this moment my thin body changed its appearance, full of full luster, except for the gray complexion, it was closer to the state of normal human muscles, but the cracked woman's face was still as terrifying as a coconut shell that had been split into two petals.
Can there be any changes? It was the first time I had doubts.
My relationship with them is actually very delicate, and it feels like it's more appropriate to use each other or cooperate with each other, because they don't let me touch their bodies, so I can't confirm that these guys actually have physical bodies.
After solving those ghosts that looked like mirrors, the old man also woke up in time, and the first thing he said when he woke up was, "Why did I fall asleep again?" β
"You're stunned!" I cut out the presence of the dead and told him what was going on inside the metal wall.
The old man rubbed the back of his neck suspiciously, "Really? But why does my neck hurt so much? β
"Fall!" Let me answer briefly.
After a few nonsense along the way, after turning the two forks on the left, I finally saw a different place, and it was a heavy electronic door, but fortunately the door was wide open, I looked at the old egg and looked at each other, and slowly approached the past, and then the light of the flashlight, I saw that there were rows of two-person height units inside, as for what it was used for, we didn't know at all.
This computer room has a lot of space, more than 200 square meters, and it is all stuffed with these black-shelled crews, and the old egg picks his nostrils and says, "They won't set up a server here to play black games, right?" β
I was now immune, searched around, and saw a double-open electronic door at the end of the room, the door had been completely destroyed, the door was broken in two and was already covered with dust, I stared at the break for a while, and then cautiously reminded the old egg: "It was violently broken, let's be careful." β
The old egg held his breath and nodded, his legs shaking, and he followed me inside, behind the door was a wide hallway, and the metal floor was covered with all kinds of broken bones, all human bones.
The further I went, the more skeletons there were, and the scenes were simply shocking, until after passing the metal corridor, the central control room that came into view was filled with a lot of high-precision instruments, none of which I knew, but in the middle of the room, a mechanical device similar to a hatchery nest caught my attention, and a pedestal was placed on it, and the pedestal was not empty, but a diamond-shaped gray stone slab about twenty centimeters in length was standing.
At this moment, I immediately understood that the familiar feeling was actually coming from it, the third spiritual slate.
PS: The first chapter, you watch first, I'll take a break and continue writing.
