After re-entering the underground ruins, everyone was a little more careful. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After Captain Jace arranged the defense, he immediately decided to organize people who still had the strength to go deep into the ruins to explore, and Lin Youde, as the strongest psionic swordsman in the entire expedition, naturally joined the expedition with Captain Jace.

Hiroko and the others were left in the camp, and Lin Youde left Noah in the camp to protect Hiroko and the others - Hiroko was very opposed to this, but Lin Youde was not screwed.

The process of going deeper into the ruins was easier than expected, probably because most of the nanozombies were killed in the melee just now. While guarding the enemy, Lin Youde has been observing the various murals in the ruins. The civilization that built the ruins did not have a high level of mathematics, did not master the compositional techniques of perspective and the golden section, and all the murals were 100% flat, but this civilization still had a certain talent in graphic design.

The mural has a simple aesthetic that reminds Lin Youde of modern decorative paintings.

Through decorative paintings, Lin Youde constantly pieced together the ruins and even what happened to this civilization.

After walking for a while, Lin Youde put together a part of the "puzzle": the builders of this relic originally planned to build a large altar for sacrifice, and perhaps this altar also had an astronomical function. Many slaves died in the process of construction - these are not on the table, and then one day suddenly an earthquake struck and half of the altar was destroyed. The builders of the ruins took it for granted that this was the wrath of the gods, and decided to make a sacrifice to appease the wrath of the gods.

"The great pit that sinks in front is the pit of the sacrifice." Lin Youde said to the girls in the spiritual connection.

"It's cruel." Freya muttered, she was borrowing Lin Youde's eyes across time and space to look at the large pit that was fluorescently illuminated by one-third of its volume.

"We've done something similar to that in humans." Lin Youde said, "Probably every civilization has done something in its own enlightenment period, and the Ilarai people should have done similar things." ”

"There may be, but it's too old for all of us to forget, hey~" Freya bought a moe in the spirit connection.

The expedition advanced along the edge of the sacrificial pit, and soon Lin Youde saw the new murals.

The mural shows that after many sacrifices were made, the earthquake struck again, and Lin Youde estimated that it was an aftershock of the previous major earthquake. But the people of ancient times did not care about this, apparently believing that they had not killed enough, so they prepared to build an even greater pit of live burial, and in digging this pit they dug up the real ruins of the earth.

"I see, so the real super-civilization ruins are further down." Lily said thoughtfully, "Let me see the scan that Jace provided...... Well...... No, the diagram they gave didn't mark deeper. ”

And Lin Youde had already found the true ruins in the lower layer through Noah, and the thing that Jace said made the nanomachinery in the ruins alive was in that lower layer.

Originally, the ruins were buried deep underground, and Jace was not a professional in planetary exploration, so it was likely that his ship's scanner was not sensitive enough, and he could only see the outline of a vague artificial complex, and that map was completed when he came down to explore later. Considering the poor coverage of the portable scanner and the enemies that littered the ruins, it's likely that Captain Jace didn't know that there was anything further down the ruins, not necessarily that he was deliberately deceiving everyone.

Lin Youde began to think about whether to find an opportunity to "get separated" with Captain Jace and eat alone, or find a way to guide the expedition team to the ruins further down?

From the perspective of profit, of course, the former is better, but the risk of identity leakage also increases exponentially, and the latter-

At this time, Lin Youde found the third mural on the wall, so he turned his attention to the study of the murals, maybe there are clues hidden in these murals, in case you need to solve the mystery even deeper underground, right?

The third mural depicts the scene after the discovery of the "miracle", in order to thank God for the gift, the clergy of this ancient civilization first killed a bunch of people.

"Are they reducing the population in this way and maintaining the balance of food production and population?" Lily said half-teasingly in the spirit link.

But the sacrifice was stopped by something I don't know what it was, Lin Youde estimated that it was a guard robot with artificial intelligence in the super-civilization ruins or something, but obviously these uncivilized guys regarded it as a god.

To be reasonable, let the ancient humans see the golden gland invulnerability and can shoot beams to scorch people, and the ancient humans have to worship them as gods, even if it may be just ordinary infantry robots in ancient civilizations.

However, it is clear that the ancient civilization here encountered a relatively high level thing, and it will guide the ancients to build their own civilization, and judging from the murals, it guides the construction of the entire city. In the mural, the painter refers to his own city with a glittering city - most likely the body of the ruins that Lin Youde and his family are now exploring.

To celebrate the great deeds of this "god", this civilized people built huge stone statues to honor their god.

When Lin Youde studied this part of the mural, the front suddenly opened up, and the stone statue stood in the huge hollow in front of him. The style of the stone statue is very consistent with the super-civilized aesthetic that Lin Youde is familiar with, and the people it commemorates - or things - are undoubtedly from the hands of super-civilization.

The hall where the statue is located has a number of roads that open up to the surrounding area - a pit would be more appropriate.

"Strange," Lin Youde heard someone muttering from the aliens, "this should have been a square or something like that in ancient times, right?" Why is there such a big cavity here after being buried in the ground? ”

Lin Youde didn't have this doubt, he pointed to the edge of the pit mouth where they came in and said: "Look, this edge is very flat, not like a natural formation, and only one side and the top of the road we just walked look like ancient stone buildings, and the rest of the wall is a flat earth surface." These tunnels were dug by man. ”

"So there's already someone in this place before us?" One of the outlaws asked, his voice unable to hide his disappointment.

Lin Youde didn't answer, he swept the entire square with his senses, and found something on the ground, which he pulled out between two large stone floor tiles.

"What's that?" Captain Jace asked in place of all the aliens.

"It looks like a machine part, and there's a lot of wear on one side, and it's a wreath -- I think it's the wear and tear caused by the excavation of the ground."

"Sure enough, someone here got there first?"

"No," Lin Youde pretended to take out a small instrument and scanned the part, "This is a thing that is much older than this relic, and this is a part of a machine left by a super-civilization." I guess the super-civilized machines have been managing the ruins, and after the ruins were buried due to the movement of the earth's crust, they re-excavated the original squares and avenues, and turned the buried ruins into the current dungeons. ”

"It seems like the right decision to let you join." Captain Jace patted Lin Youde on the shoulder, reached out and grabbed the parts and looked at them.

Lin Youde ignored him, and walked towards the idol in the middle of the square.

Just as Lin Youde expected, there was a mural on the pedestal, but this time the mural looked quite twisted, and the painter should have painted this mural in a very urgent state. Lin Youde guessed that this was not the "original" mural of the stone statue, but that someone had painted it after what had happened to record what had happened.

The content of the mural is not obscure, the ancient civilization here took something out of the miracle, and that thing was obtained by a guy - look at the description of the mural to gain the power of storming the earth and fire. However, the guy decided to give this power to everyone in the city, so he used it on a lot of people, and disaster happened. People have all turned into terrifying beasts, gnawing at each other.

Lin Youde guessed that the correct way to express the content of this paragraph was this: a person who may be a high-ranking priest opened the container of nanomachinery, and he accidentally adapted to nanomachinery, so he decided to let all the priests and all nobles accept the gift of God. As a result, most people were turned into zombies by nanomachines, and under the domination of their greedy desires, zombies began to attack ordinary people and spread nanomachines.

After combing it for a while, Lin Youde continued to look down: At this time, God appeared and began to purify those "evil ghosts" who were out of control, and those who had not been affected all knelt down to thank God for his gifts. But the god suddenly stopped, and the demons, who had not been purified, killed everyone, leaving only a few who were in hiding and trembling.

At this time, God suddenly moved again and protected the last survivors, but I don't know why God did not purify the evil spirits again.

At this point, the mural came to an abrupt end.

Lin Youde looked at the mural and fell into deep thought.

Lily asked, puzzled, "Why did God suddenly stop moving?" ”

"I'm thinking about that, too."

Xia Yongzhi put forward her own opinion on the other side of the distant galaxy: "The system overheats and forces the shutdown? ”

"It's possible." Lin Youde nodded, "No matter what......"

"What do you see?" Captain Jace's voice suddenly entered Lin Youde's ears, "You humans nod their heads in many ways, and one of them is that you thought of something. So what do these murals say? ”

"It's about the process of destruction here." Lin Youde's gaze turned to Jace, "Those super-civilized guards you met here, according to the description in the mural, are actually quite kind. So, did you attack them? ”

Captain Jace was silent for a few seconds before replying, "My rule of thumb is to shoot at something you're not sure about. ”

"This principle obviously does not apply at all times."

As soon as Lin Youde's words fell, someone not far away exclaimed: "Something has walked in!" (To be continued.) )
