Chapter 235: Warehouse Keeper
Unbeknownst to Alex about the conversation between Director Hoover and his right-hand man, Alex was on his way with two Agents Smith to a barren area in South Dakota, where the warehouse where Tesla's manuscripts were said to be stored.
"Why are you building a warehouse in a place like this?" Alex asked.
Neither agent answered the question, remaining mysteriously silent, perhaps because they didn't know what was going to be built here. Eventually, they came to a huge warehouse that had been abandoned, empty and devoid of any inhabitants or buildings.
Behind the warehouse, there is a large bare rocky mountain, on which there is nothing and it is unusually steep.
"This kind of bird place, even plants are rare!" Alex muttered, but the two agents remained silent.
Agent Smith walked over to the warehouse door, reached for a button, and a new keyboard pad popped up. He quickly typed a few numbers on it, and placed the entire palm of his hand on the smooth section, which appeared to be a kind of palm-print password.
However, Alex couldn't believe that there was already such advanced technology in this era, after all, what he saw was too far from the technology in his impression.
The door to the warehouse opened, and it looked so deep that it was so dark that it was so dark that it was hard to see how long it was. However, the lights of the warehouse turned on one by one, and at this time Alex realized that the warehouse was actually built against a mountain, and the entire mountain had been hollowed out inside.
"Wow! How big is this warehouse? When was it built! Alex asked.
A voice abruptly sounded in the darkness of the warehouse, and out of it came a bearded man with curly hair and glasses. He looked like a professor at a university.
"The warehouse was first built around 356 BC by Alexander the Great. He used it to store the mysterious items he obtained during the war. ”
Before Alex could react, the bearded professor continued, "But Alexander the Great died young, and these things were transferred to the library in Alexandria, Egypt, for study. Over the next two thousand years, the contents of the warehouse increased and its location changed frequently. ”
Agent Smith nodded to him expressionlessly and said, "Dr. Nelson, someone has been brought, please confirm the signature." ”
As he spoke, another agent hurriedly handed a document to Dr. Nelson. The other party took the file. But he didn't immediately sign it. Instead, he looked at Alex first, and said with a smile: "You are the genius boy who is rare to see in a hundred years?" ”
"What genius boy?" Alex pretended not to understand what the other party was saying.
Dr. Nelson ignored it, but said to himself: "It is said that every once in a while, some more abnormal people will appear in human society. Some people grow very tall. Some people are very strong. There are also people who are very smart. It's the forces of evolution and mutation at work. Some of these abnormal human genes have been inherited, and some have been annihilated in the long river of history. ”
"You're saying I'm also a member of anomalous humans? Just because I'm high-IQ? Alex kind of understood, but what was his IQ. Only he knows that the so-called IQ test is the result of his cheating.
Dr. Nelson nodded and said, "For example, in some species, there are cases where the lifespan is more than 10 times the average life expectancy, and the IQ is also possible." As far as I know, there are only a few people in history who have been able to achieve an IQ of more than 200, Leonardo da Vinci is one, and Tesla is also one. As for you...... Maybe one too. ”
Alex shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "I don't think I think I'm smart, besides, it's not a big deal if you have a high IQ, don't you have to eat and sleep?" ”
Nelson shook his head and said, "You still don't understand, after such a human appears, it has a great impact on human society. The impact is too far-reaching to be unimaginable. ”
Hearing this, Alex already understood a little, why would Director Hoover care so much about him, and would always arrange for people to follow and monitor him.
"That's it! It's already signed! ”
Nelson picked up a pen and wrote his name on the paper. After the two FBI agents got it, they turned around and left without saying a word, much to Alex's inexplicable surprise.
"Y-Why did you go, I haven't seen Tesla's manuscript yet!" Alex hurriedly shouted.
Hearing this, Dr. Nelson quickly covered Alex's mouth and motioned to him to stop shouting: "Shhh Don't shout, beware of the walls with ears! ”
Pitchers have ears?
Alex looked around, but found no one else, except for the two agents who were walking away, and it was just him and Nelson. This is a deserted area, not to mention humans, even the flora and fauna are pitifully few.
"Don't worry, they're just following the rules and can't step into the warehouse. Besides, even if you let them in, I'm afraid you will be very reluctant, after all, the things in this warehouse are too weird, and they will have an accident if they are not careful. ”
"Don't scare me!" Alex hurriedly looked at Nelson, and he said, "Since it's so dangerous here, then you can take out the manuscript, and I won't go in to read it!" ”
Nelson shook his head, he pulled Alex inside: "What are you worried about, they don't dare to come in because they are in a special situation, as for you......"
Nelson glanced at Alex and asked, "You should still belong to the human race, right?" Purebred humans? ”
"Nonsense, I'm not a pure-blooded human, can I be something else?"
"Isn't that okay, the people of the committee have placed a forbidden spell here, only humans can enter the warehouse, if it belongs to a non-human species, if you want to enter here, then I'm afraid your life will be in danger in a few minutes!"
When Alex heard this explanation, he asked with some surprise, "You mean that those two agents just now are not human?" ”
"Huh? Did I say that? Don't be cranky, they just can't walk in because of the FBI! Okay, don't talk nonsense, we're going to enter the warehouse in a moment. ”
They originally walked inside while talking, but what they didn't expect was that they had walked for almost one or two hundred meters, and they hadn't entered the warehouse yet. At this time, they came to a wall, and this wall was painted with some strange patterns, such as pyramids, birds, sun, eyes, and all kinds of gods and demons.
Here, Alex felt a strange and familiar fluctuation, as if there was a stream of energy protecting the wall, and that it was frequent. Familiar because this energy is similar to soul energy, strange because it is not dead, but alive.
Dr. Nelson reached out and pressed on a pattern, only to hear a rumbling sound coming from inside, and the wall cracked open with an erected rectangular opening. The two of them walked in, walked about ten meters or so, and came to the end.
This cave with stone walls on three sides is not dark, but a kind of light penetrates from all directions, and it seems that the inside is very bright and transparent. It's just such a small place, how can it be a warehouse where a lot of things are stored?
"Numbered 19430001 items! Applicant Nelson, dated August 7, 1960! Dr. Nelson said to the cave wall.
Alex looked at Dr. Nelson with some confusion, and after a while, it was probably just over ten seconds. I saw that the other party stretched out his hand and pressed it on the wall inside, revealing a stone cabinet like a safe, and after opening it, there were rolls of documents inside.
"Okay, this is the manuscript you want, you can only read it in it, you can't take it out!"
"I can't even get to the hole?"
"No, you have to watch it here!"
After being rejected by the other party, Alex had no choice but to look through them here, and when his hand touched the documents, a stream of electricity flowed all over his body, and his hairs stood on end.
"It's a feeling...... Could it be ......" Alex didn't understand on the surface, and he had already set off a shocking wave in his heart.
He hurriedly stabilized his mind, and in a trance, he seemed to be in a different space. This feeling is exactly the same as entering the mental space, except that he enters someone else's space.
It's a vast space, and you can't even see the end in sight, only the horizon is empty. It was very flat, very empty, maybe there were originally the sun, moon and stars, mountains, lakes, oceans, and even all kinds of creatures, etc., but when its owner died, these things could no longer be maintained, and they returned to the void.
The only thing that never disappeared was a hut beside Alex, which suddenly appeared in this space, as if it had been waiting for hundreds of years.
At first, Alex couldn't figure out why the hut would be kept. If you think about it, it should be that those manuscripts have absorbed Tesla's soul energy, so they can be preserved in this form.
"It's amazing, it seems that Tesla's secret is not small!"
Alex couldn't help but sigh after he figured it out. He originally thought that he was the only one in this world who could establish a space for himself on the spiritual level, but he didn't expect Tesla to be able to do the same.
But this is not very surprising, according to what Alex knows about Tesla, it does have such capabilities. As long as Tesla continues to use its capabilities and evolve its capabilities, it will definitely be able to reach such heights.
Alex, who was in the mental space, was still able to take into account the real world, and he glanced at the outside world and found that Nelson was staring at him motionless as if he had been pressed to time to pause.
"Well, I'm afraid this manuscript has already started working after I have stimulated it, and once I enter the space, it is equivalent to the outside time being stilled." (To be continued......)
