Chapter 13: Above the Dome

The stone cave on this cliff is naturally not the sky mentioned in the book, but at this moment, Garcia can't help but have the illusion that "the sky is above here" - where the flashlight hits, the dome of this underground cave is six people high.

Between the ground and the dome underground, the height is generally not high, the distance from the highest point of Spices to the ground is only two adult heights, the height of the slope is uncertain, the low place is lower than Spice's box, an adult has to bend over from the low place of the dome, the high place will be higher than Spice, but it will not be much higher, at most three people's height, higher places, only some underground caves that are not common.

However, the cave, like this one, has never been seen before.

"Six-man high...... No, seven people are ......"

Garcia tilted his head and stared blankly at the top of the cave, although a small part of the diffuse flashlight hit the top of the cave, it could illuminate the light on the top.

The rough top has something vaguely carved on it.

"What's that?" Garcia narrowed his eyes and focused his gaze, the top of the cave was smooth and flat, yet it seemed to be deliberately chiseled into large and small caves.

"I don't know." Old Man Sean also stared at the strange dome above his headβ€”the dome, which should have been smooth and flat, was full of these large and small artificially cut holes, which were arranged together in a strange but comforting appearance, and seemed to have some kind of fixed order.

"Don't you know, old man?"

Garcia smacked his lips.

"It's my first time here."

The old man replied with his mouth open, but his eyes were still fixed on the strange dome above him.

On the top of the dome, the holes were arranged in large and small places, and there was no connection between them, but Garcia looked closely, and beyond each hole there seemed to be an arc chiseled with a chisel, and the arc was much shallower and lighter than the holes, and it was almost impossible to see unless you looked closely.

"Arc?"

Garcia raised an eyebrow.

I followed the arc, only to find that the arc was finally back on top of the hole. The edge of each hole has an arc that passes through the center of the hole and back up to it. Each arc is of varying length, with some appearing as a small, less authentic circle and others looking like a long, flat ellipse.

"There's definitely something to do with these things......"

Garcia looked at it for a long time, and he felt that there was an indescribable magic hidden between the permutations and combinations of these chiseled holes, and he felt that a new world was drawn on it, but he never caught any useful information. So he turned his head to Old Man Sean and said this.

"Three-year-olds can say the same thing as you."

The old man gave the young decorator a blank look, and Garcia's face burned when he saw it, and he turned back to study the fresco of the dome.

"Let's call it a mural, after all, it's not like a device or a sign, but more like a fresco used to decorate the roof or record the secrets of antiquity...... There must be some message hidden between the murals, or some history about this place...... But with the two of us, I can't figure out anything......"

The flashlight on the ground flickered twice, and then the light slowly dimmed. The old man then stopped, leaned over and picked up the flashlight and shook it vigorously twice.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Anyway, we don't care about these strange holes, we don't know how much time we've been in this hole, it's important to get out. ”

The old man said as he shook his flashlight.

"Indeed."

Garcia nodded as well, retracting his gaze from the dome of the cave. Even if you don't retract your gaze, you can't see the top, because the old man has turned the flashlight back to its original mode, and the cold white high beam clearly illuminates the floor of the cave.

"That's a lot to say......"

The decorator exclaimed at the dome, which was no longer visible. The dome was now completely covered in darkness, but it was not the usual dim blackness that could be seen in Spice's box, but the deep darkness that could not see the depth.

It's like the darkness on the slope that the lights can't shine through, and it seems that there are many things hidden in it, many things that we don't understand.

"......Indeed," the old man replied, "I never thought that there would be a cave under the stone cliff, let alone that this place would be so high......"

"Hmm."

The old man took a flashlight and swept around the stone walls, but after sweeping around, he didn't see any way out. The old man swept it again from right to left, but it still didn't.

"Maybe there is no exit?"

Garcia thought so, but the thought only turned around in his mind before disappearing, the dome above his head didn't look like a natural product, it was clearly built here by some people for some purpose, then there must be an exit to the outside world in this cave.

The old man obviously thought the same way, so he locked his eyebrows and gave up this method of trying to find the exit by casual glances, walked to the edge of the stone wall, and prepared to take a flashlight to look at the stone wall slowly meter by meter.

"By the way, is Raymond awake?" The old man suddenly remembered Raymond, who was still asleep not long ago, so he asked Garcia this.

"No......" Garcia looked back, "Well, it's not ......"

"It stands to reason that it's time to wake up."

"I'll go kick it two more times."

……

"Hey, Raymond, it's time to wake up!"

Garcia pushed the little fat man on the ground again, but Raymond just fell asleep quietly and smashed his mouth without any movement.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Garcia's brow furrowed, shouldn't it......

"Hey, get up!"

He raised his feet again and kicked up, but the little fat man was only kicked and turned over, and still did not move at all.

"Hell! Old man! Come and see, I'm out of line! ”

Garcia put his hand on his forehead and shouted to Old Man Sean who was looking for an exit on the side.

"Not awake yet?!"

The old man's voice came from there.

"Didn't wake up! I slept like I was dead! The only thing that let me know that this kid isn't dead is that this kid is still snoring! ”

Garcia said helplessly.

"Tsk......"

Old man Sean turned his flashlight and walked towards him.

The old man naturally pushed twice first, and then stood up and kicked twice if he couldn't push, but it still had no effect.

"What the hell...... old man also frowned, and Garcia saw that Old Man Sean's two eyebrows were squeezed together and a Sichuan character was squeezed out.

"Tsk......" The old man glanced at Raymond, who had many footprints on his body but was still asleep, and knocked on his forehead in thought.

"......" Garcia also touched his nose and looked at Raymond, who was sleeping.

The gaze seemed to have some effect, and the little fat man's snoring began to get louder and louder...... Are you kidding!

Garcia shook the inexplicable thought out of his head.

"Did the old man think of anything?"

Garcia looked at Old Man Sean, who was still beating his forehead.

"I always feel like there's something very important...... the old man pounded his forehead, then suddenly stopped, and raised his head as if suddenly, "Garcia, do you remember how we got down?" ”

"Falling......" Garcia blinked, and then realized that what the old man said was not what he meant, so he touched his nose and thought about it, "What does the old man mean...... That red light? ”

"Hmm."

The old man nodded, acquiescing. Then all the old and the young fell silent.

"I've just been looking around here, but I don't see the glowing light."

"I saw the cliff before the old man woke up...... I didn't see it either. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Turn Raymond over!"

The old man suddenly shouted.

In fact, there was no need to shout, when the old man shouted the first word, Garcia had already understood what the old man meant, and then quickly squatted down and pushed the little fat man to the side.

Raymond rolled in circles, flipped over, and fell to the ground.

Raymond's back, where he was leaning against his waist, shone faintly.

Red light leaked out of the undershirt.
