Chapter 4: The Gate of Time and Space (Finale)

One hundred and fifty meters below the water was quiet, and even each other's breathing was unusually heavy. It is believed that no life has entered this place for thousands of years, and everything is silent in the dead silence of an ancient tomb.

Sophie and I involuntarily got up lightly, as if we were afraid to wake up something sleeping in the pyramid. If there really is some kind of anomalous creature inside.

In front of the underwater pyramid is a small square-like clearing, the ground is all hard rock, but it is very flat, and strangely there is no trace of artificial excavation, and it does not look like it was formed naturally.

Since there are already such strange things as pyramids under the water, what else is there that we can't accept?

Sophie and I turned on the diving flashlight, and strangely passed through the small square, came to the pyramid, and found that there was a tall stone gate at the bottom of the base, but as soon as we got closer, the stone gate seemed to have a sense, and the ground rose suddenly.

This abrupt surprise scared Sophie and I a lot. We thought something would rush out of the door, so we hid outside the door and waited for a while to see no movement inside, so we walked into the stone door in fear.

When we crossed the threshold, the rising stone gate fell with a thud, sealing our retreat to death.

Before I came in, I was worried about this, but I didn't expect it to happen as soon as I entered, just when I was choking, the originally dark tunnel, suddenly bang bang after a series of strange sounds, the stone walls up and down, left and right actually all emitted light, and a straight road immediately appeared in front of me.

It stunned us.

There are no lights on the walls, so where does the light come from? Sophie and I are lost! And we were thinking about the same question, whether it was a clever design of the building itself, or if someone in the pyramid was secretly manipulating it.

If it's the former, it's fine, if it's the latter, it's terrifying.

However, if you want to uncover these questions, you can only run to the dark and go to the end to see what is going on.

Sophie and I turned off our dive flashlights and walked cautiously into the depths of the tunnel.

The stone walls on the upper and lower sides are all made of stone slabs one meter square, each stone slab is carved with different patterns, the carving technique is completely consistent, the lines are rough and powerful, but the meaning expressed is difficult for people to understand. The strange symbols, like Martian hieroglyphs, are difficult for earthlings to understand except for aliens.

At first, I thought that there would be a mechanism in the corridor, and I was a little too careful, but along the way, there was nothing abnormal, and my tense nerves were a little relaxed.

After all, I'm not the captain who touches gold in the novel, who has great powers and can't touch gold when the rooster cries and the lights go out. And this is not an ancient tomb, and there is no tomb owner who is reluctant to see the weapon, how can there be so many organs.

No, as soon as I thought about it, this is the ancient tomb, the pyramid by the Nile is buried in the king of ancient Egypt, the pharaoh, this underwater pyramid should not be buried aliens who died in a foreign land!

At the thought of this, my loose nerves tightened again.

In the confusion of our thoughts, Sophie and I reached the end of the corridor, when an upward staircase appeared in front of us, spiraling all the way up, as if leading to the top of the pyramid.

Sophie and I looked up, it was very high and bright, and it was possible that the rock on which the pyramid was built itself had luminescent properties, I guessed in my mind, but I immediately rejected this idea, because it was pitch black on the outside of the pyramid, and a glowing stone would not have such a strange phenomenon of light on one side and light on the other.

If you don't understand, you won't think about it, this is my consistent principle, I don't know if it's mental laziness, but I save a lot of thought.

Sophie and I walked towards the top of the pyramid step by step, and the whole interior of the pyramid was very quiet except for the footsteps of the two of us, and there was nothing else, not even a little funerary goods to be seen, and then I once again suspected that this might not be an alien grave.

No matter how high the mountain is, there are peaks, and no matter how long the road is, there is an end.

Sophie and I finally made it up the last step to a stone hall.

The stone hall is long and narrow, about 20 meters deep, and at its end are two stone gates, each with a diamond as large as a watermelon in the very center.

I've never seen a giant diamond this big, and I even wonder if it's a real diamond. But it's really shiny in soft light. And the two giant diamonds, one black and one white, black and white, seem to be incompatible with yin and yang, but they exist in an unusually harmonious manner.

The narrow ground was paved with twenty-six square stone slabs, each of which was carved with magical symbols, and when Sophie saw these magical symbols, her eyes lit up, "Zhuo Jinli!" She lost her voice and said, "This is the unique Mayan calendar!" ”

"What?" I don't know much about this, except that the Maya had a variety of strange and complex calendars, among which the 260-day Chokin calendar is the most peculiar, because there are no planets in the solar system that conform to this calendar. I can't remember the exact formula for a long time.

Sophie, of course, didn't know about my loneliness, and pointed to the stone slabs on the ground and said, "Each of these stone slabs represents ten days, and twenty-six is two hundred and sixty days, which is exactly a cycle, but the order is a little messy, does this mean that it can only be passed according to the correct order of the Zhuo Jin calendar!" ”

As soon as she reached her own realm, she got carried away, muttered to herself, and walked forward, step by step in the correct order in her memory, and acted without consulting me at all.

I watched as I had no time to stop her recklessness, and could only secretly pray that her theory was correct.

I don't know if she was really right, or if she was thinking too much about it, anyway, she walked all the way to the stone door of the room, and nothing happened.

Just as she was standing in front of the two stone doors, not knowing which one to open, the two stone doors suddenly sounded the dull sound of the rock rubbing, and moved backwards together, suddenly flashing the distance of the two stone slabs side by side, and then stood still.

Sophie was startled, but seeing that there was nothing else unusual about the stone door, her heart relaxed, and she carefully observed the carved patterns on the two new stone slabs on the ground.

The pattern is very simple, a 丨 and a 〇, what does this mean?

Sophie was stunned, but after all, she was an archaeological professional, and immediately thought of a very authoritative explanation, 丨 represents a man, 〇 represents a woman, but what about the last step?

If all this is a mechanism, then this is obviously the last password, as long as this level is broken, the mystery will be seen immediately, but if you do it wrong, there must be the most powerful killing move lurking here!

Thinking of this, Sophie hesitated!

I met Sophie who couldn't make a decision, and thought she had met an unintelligible symbol, and shouted behind her, "What's wrong?" ”

Sophie turned around and told me the difficult question that was struggling her, "Left or right?" ”

I was stunned when I heard it! Yes, left or right, one wrong step can be a loss! What to do?

"Sophie, you come back, I'll try!" It was so inhumane to let her go to the thunder, I shouted anxiously in the back.

However, my shouting did not bring Sophie back, she suddenly remembered something, turned around and said loudly, "At the beginning, it was the unique Mayan Zhuo Jin calendar, and the Mayan tribe is dominated by men, so the last step should be to take this stone slab!" ”

After speaking, Sophie resolutely took the last step and stepped on the stone slab steadily.

My nerves tightened suddenly, but there was no scene of Sophie suddenly sinking under the stone slab, I was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, the white giant diamond in the center of the stone door in front of Sophie suddenly burst out into a snowy light, this light was extremely hot, Sophie was close to the scene before she could let out a shout, and the whole person immediately disappeared.

"No, no, no, no!" I cried out in horror and pain, and was about to rush forward, but the symbols on the stone slab in front of me suddenly flickered, and in an instant changed into a new pattern.

I endured my grief and went to see the new stone slabs on the ground, and when I saw it, I immediately frowned, only to see that the patterns of the twelve zodiac signs were scattered in the twenty-four stone slabs, and the other twelve were twelve earth branches, this is difficult for me, I am only Chinese, and I will naturally not be wrong about the order of the ugly son.

It took me a very short time to pass through the stone hall and come to two stone doors inlaid with huge diamonds, and the same scene appeared not long ago, the two stone doors retreated at the same time, revealing two new stone slabs.

This time, one is the sun and the other is the month, which side should I take?

If I make a mistake, I will be like Sophie and disappear in an instant.

What's wrong with Sophie? I tried to recall, and I remembered her last sentence, "At the beginning, it was the unique Mayan Zhuo Jin calendar, and the Mayan tribe was dominated by men, so the last step should be to take this stone slab!" ”

I think I know what's wrong with Sophie!

It is true that the Mayan tribe is mostly male, but there is one that is not, and that is the tribe of Mayan kings, who are dominated by women. The Mayan tribe has existed for thousands of years, and the pyramid has existed for thousands of years, and thousands of years ago, the Mayan royal tribe must have ruled all the Mayans, so Sophie's last step should be to move towards "〇"!

In Chinese culture, the sun is yang and the moon is yin, so my last step should be to go to the stone slab engraved with the moon, right!

Thinking of this, I took the final step with a decisive scolding.

I took this crucial step, and the huge black diamond in front of me set in the center of the stone gate suddenly burst out into a cloud of black light, and then rotated backwards, suddenly forming a black hole-like existence.

I shuddered at the black hole in front of me, but I couldn't help but step in.

As soon as I walked in, the black hole disappeared behind me. And I was in a starry sky, as if I had stepped into space.

In front of my eyes, there are countless stars that make up countless nebulae in the universe.

Just when I was at a loss, suddenly the countless nebulae in front of me suddenly became a linked picture:

An alien spaceship travels across the galaxy to Earth, and from the spaceship walks down countless humanoid creatures, who have helped the barbarian earthlings build the civilization of Earth. Human civilization is developing rapidly, and human beings have begun to fight each other non-stop in order to plunder resources!

Suddenly, one day, there was a big explosion on the earth, and after the explosion, the flood flooded the land. The aliens drove the spaceship to the sea, built an island, built a lake in the center of the island, and built a pyramid at the bottom of the lake.

When the alien spaceship flew close to a spiral nest formed by black light inside the pyramid, an alien left a stone turtle, a scroll, a crystal skull, and a golden compass to each of the four subordinates, and then all the aliens piloted the spaceship through the black hole and disappeared.

And the four remaining aliens all transformed into earthlings and scattered around the world.

At this point, all the nebulae collapsed, and a staircase appeared beneath my feet.

I understand, I fully understand, I am actually standing in the gate of time and space, the so-called gate of time and space is actually a mysterious door left by aliens, and I sacrificed all the closest people in order to find it, I, I am really speechless.

My spirit was extremely depressed, and I really wanted to die all at once, but there was a step in front of me, could it be that there was still a chance to turn around!

Anyway, it's already like this, how bad can it be? As I walked forward, step after step appeared, step after step, step after step, and with each step I walked, the steps above it disappeared as if it had never been there.

I don't know how many steps I went down, but the last one finally appeared.

Front, back, left, right, there are no more steps. Except for the steps below, I was in a pitch black nothingness.

There is no way, I laughed, isn't it just a death, where am I afraid?!

I smiled and stepped forward, falling down as if I had fallen into the abyss of eternity.

I don't know when I woke up, my head was dizzy, and my body was tired, as if I had just had a long dream.

I opened my eyes, it was early afternoon, the sun was shining gently, and I was lying on a chaise longue with a blanket over my body and a half-drunk glass of wine in my hand.

It was a small courtyard, I stood up, feeling both strange and familiar, suddenly I heard a burst of laughter coming from the living room in front, and I saw An An and Qingfeng playing chess, it seemed that An An had won, and she was laughing proudly.

"They, they," I was speechless in astonishment, I remembered that they had clearly died in the crater.

"Xiao, you're awake!" I was stunned when someone called me behind me.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Yuan Meng and Sophie standing behind me, looking at me with a smile.

"What, don't you know?" Seeing that I was stunned, the two beauties laughed.

They didn't know that my heart had blossomed, that the "Gate of Time and Space" existed, and that I had crossed it.

"Yes, of course I know!" I laughed.

"Then let's go," said Yuan Meng, "didn't you say you would take us to the Catacombs of Paris!" ”

"You're still asleep, I don't know if it's pretending!" Sophie laughed.

"No problem, no problem," I laughed, "let's go now." ”

When we went out with a ticket, came to the Star Square, there was a business car waiting for us, after getting on the bus, I was stunned when I saw the driver, it was actually a bat!

Seeing that I looked at him in surprise, the driver asked, "Sir, do you know me?" ”

"No, I don't know!" After I finished speaking, I ignored the puzzled bat, leaned back, hugged Yuan Meng beside me with one hand, and Sophie with the other, and smiled with satisfaction, "Please drive." ”

But in my heart I silently said, "I'm back, or rather, I'm coming!" ”
