Chapter 33: Clues

Xinyun opened the next recording.

"August 13...... Damn, my watch is broken! Fuck his time! But luckily the recorder is still intact. I'm in ...... right now The inside of that thing...... Perhaps......

What I just saw, it's big, very big! It's the size of a hill, but I don't know what it is. It seemed to be a sphere, or a dome, and there was something on its surface that looked like an eye, shining. The light I see is from that eye.

I...... As soon as I got close to the thing, a vortex suddenly appeared. I couldn't see it very clearly, but it seemed like it was suddenly cracking on top...... No...... Dilate...... Neither...... A hole was opened. I can be sure that the hole was smooth in its original position before it appeared, without the slightest crack. But I don't know why, but it magically opened up and sucked me in along with the surrounding lake.

I'm supposed to be inside that thing now, like ...... A cabin-like place. But there is no water around me. It sucked me in and quickly drained the water. Now my surroundings...... It should be air. The air inside is a bit cloudy and smells weird, but the oxygen content is adequate enough.

Over here...... It's huge, about half a basketball court, but it's nowhere near the size of the building as you see it outside. I think it's just one of the rooms. I'm not sure if this thing can really be called a ...... A building?

I was supposed to be here with a camera, damn it. I touched the floor and walls, and they were solid but not entirely hard, and they felt like ...... The outer layer of steel is covered with a layer of rubber. I...... I'm not sure, but I don't feel like it's artificial, it's more like ...... The flesh of some kind of creature?

Could it be that such a huge object that I just saw outside is a ...... Creature? and I'm ...... Is it inside it?"

Jiang Xiao and Xinyun glanced at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's gazes.

"There's nothing in this space, it's all kinds of walls on all sides and above and below. To explore more, I think I need to keep going inside, but without the door, how do I get in...... Ah!!!h

Suddenly there is a scream of purple smoke in the recording, followed by the sound of a heavy object rolling. The two could only hear the voice, but could not see the picture, and neither knew what was really happening.

After a while, Ziyan's somewhat hurried voice sounded again.

"Just now...... Suddenly a large hole appeared under my feet, just like I had seen outside. The gapless surface suddenly swirled open, and I fell into the chamber below. It's the same room as above, it's an empty room, just a little smaller. I'm now more and more convinced that this whole building is a living thing, and that I'm inside this creature. The space in its body is a cabin, and the opening and closing of the control cabin is done by the mind. Because I thought about leaving the cabin I had just had, there was a hole under my feet. Right now...... I'm going to ......"

"It's done! I had just concentrated my mind on the wall beside me, and sure enough, a passage had opened there. This time I was able to take a closer look, and the process of opening the channel was like a contraction of the digestive tract, the difference was only in the ...... There were no gaps there, but they opened out of thin air. In this way, I can move freely in the body of this creature. Just ......"

Ziyan suddenly laughed to herself: "I hope that the position I am in really won't be the digestive tract of this creature, if...... If it has this kind of thing in it. ”

This was followed by the sound of Purple Smoke walking, without speaking, for about ten minutes. It seems that the few cabins she has passed through now are no different from the original.

"Huh...... This cabin ...... I finally came to a different cabin. Over here...... It's quirky here. ”

"There are a lot of ...... here A lot...... Coffin...... No...... It's a cocoon? yes, it's a cocoon! There was a passage in the room, and the sides of the passage were densely covered with that kind of thing, a liquid wrapped in a translucent film, and there seemed to be a ...... in the liquid Humanoid objects?"

"Who are they? Why are they encased in these things? I don't know if they're still alive, but there's no sign of any human being inside. I touched it, and the film was harder and thicker than I expected, and I couldn't press it even with a little pressure. I'm wondering, should I break one open and take a look?"

"No, wait...... There seems to be something else ahead of the passage, and I'm going to check it out. ”

Footsteps.

"It's ...... A chair, and it seemed to beckon me to sit on...... Yes, I could feel that as I approached the seat, its telepathic calling grew stronger. This seat is very central in this cabin and looks like it has some significance. Well...... Hands should be here, right? Wait......"

"Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!h

A terrible scream suddenly sounded, which made Jiang Xiao and Xinyun, who had been listening attentively, both startled and looked at each other, but then although the progress bar of the audio was still walking, they couldn't hear the slightest sound.

"How...... What's going on?, is there danger in that cabin?" Xinyun asked Jiang Xiao with a frown.

Jiang Xiao shook his head: "It's hard to say...... And since what we heard was what was left behind by the purple smoke, it meant ...... At least it's not fatal. ”

The two men waited silently, and after nearly ten minutes, the sound reappeared in the recording.

But this time, Ziyan's voice became extremely frightened, trembling and muttering to himself: "No...... That's impossible...... How can the so-called history be like this? Do the priests know about such things! Even the memories that have been passed down from the bloodline cannot be like this! It can't be!"

Ziyan's voice was intermittent, and even a little incoherent.

"So we ...... We can all ...... No, it can't be, there must be another way!"

"And the world is good enough! No one needs to change it, and ...... No one has the right to change it!"

"I don't know why the dean had to find the seed, but I'm sure he must not know what the seed was...... It turned out to be something like this. It...... It's not hiding somewhere here, it's ...... But...... There is no seed here! This is the seed! Everyone is wrong! What is hidden in the seed is not power, but ...... That world!"

"That...... The world?" Jiang Xiao and Xinyun both felt the chill in it when they heard Ziyan's frightened voice.

"You...... Do you understand what she's saying?" Jiang Xiao asked in a deep voice.

Xinyun shook her head: "No...... I didn't ...... either."

After a while, Ziyan's voice sounded again: "I...... Should I really report this to the dean? What is the dean's purpose in finding seeds? He knows ...... What the hell is a seed? No...... I'm going to think about it...... Good...... Think about ......"

The last recording file.

"August 14 at 3:14 a.m. I returned to Irkutsk and stayed in the hotel. The process of leaving the seed was smooth, still the same as when entering, as long as you controlled it with your mind, you were able to let it open the exit. It seems that as long as you have awakened Neanderthal blood, the seed will be allowed to come and go at will. Fortunately, as a craftsman, he doesn't have the authority to actually activate the seed...... But I don't know, if it's a priest...... For example, the dean ......"

"I'm afraid I'll have to go back first, and then slowly find out if the dean knows the true meaning of the seed, and what he wants to find it. I should be loyal to the dean, I am a subject of his seal, but ...... But this kind of thing is too serious. I do not know...... Loyal...... Still is...... I can't make a decision until I'm sure of all this. ”

"I don't plan to destroy the recordings of this trip, but I will keep them away. Keep it well and don't let anyone find it. Only, if anything happens to me......"

After a pause in the recording, Ziyan continued, "Dark Flame, or Ochre Jade, I think the person who heard this recording should be one of you." Whoever hears it, remember, what is hidden in the seed is not power, but a key, a key that opens a certain world. But that world ...... It will never be as good as the world is now. You guys...... If you have not received the dean's seal, you may not have to endure the torment and test of loyalty like me...... If anything happens to me, you who hear this recording must make an accurate judgment about whether you should tell the dean of the location of the seed......

This is the last recording.
