Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Cell
In this way, the family planning policy was strongly determined by Liu Chang, and although most of these children were still young, some were eight or nine years old. From the current point of view, it looks incredible, they are still childhood, but at that time, it was very normal to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and it was not for nothing that they got married at the age of eight or nine, and Emperor Zhao's main palace lady Shangguan Feng'er married Fuling at the age of six. Therefore, Liu Chang's worries are not groundless.
Those children don't know why they suddenly sent such a notice, but suddenly added courses, they felt unprecedented pressure, but fortunately, these courses are not mandatory to learn, you can learn or not, voluntary!
"Did you know, I've heard that electives can be exchanged for 'game cards'?"
"Really? Who do you listen to? β
"It's all said and spread all over the place, don't you know it yet?"
"Then I have to choose, how many courses are there? I'll pick them all! β
"How many of them, choose them all? If you want to take the exam, you have to pass, and I chose three. The visitor raised his head proudly and proudly said, "You have chosen calligraphy, painting and music." "It seems that a lot of 'in-game currency' has smiled at him.
"Then I'll go and see what to choose." Not to be outdone, the latter dropped a word and ran out.
The game card motivation method has unprecedentedly improved the students' enthusiasm for learning. Many people don't know what the subjects written on the wooden boards mean, but in order to have game cards, they don't care, and what they pick up in the basket is the vegetables.
Question: "Master, what is art?" β
Master: "Ah, art, this and this, do you know what archery is?" β
Disciple: "I know archery, and being able to shoot arrows is archery." β
Master: "Yes, being able to shoot an arrow is archery, then art is, and being able to do art is art." It's, it's, what you'll do, and do it well, that's art."
Question: "...... Master, I don't know anything, so what should I do? Does being able to eat count? β
Master: "It doesn't matter if you know how to eat, everyone can eat." You're going to find someone who only you can, and no one else will. β
Disciple: "Ah, I see, Master, I know how to wet the bed, this is bedwetting, they can't." β
Master: "The master knows how to spank, do you want to learn it?" β
β¦β¦
Master: "I don't understand this?" I'm going to ask your class leader."
Question: "Senior class leader, what do you think of this problem?" β
Squad leader: "I don't understand this?" Go ask the squad leader."
Question: "Squad leader, what do you think of this problem?" β
Squad leader: "I don't understand this?" Ask your team leader."
Question: "Team leader, what do you think of this problem?" β
Team Leader: "I don't understand this, go and ask, uh... Think for yourself. β
At the beginning, I tried my best to finally become the team leader, squad leader, and big squad leader, but now I finally feel like I have fallen into the pit. Among those who feel this way, Niko is one of them.
In order to fight for her master's face, Nizi can be said to have worked hard and fought hard to become the team leader; In order to be the squad leader, he resigned as the team leader; In order to be the big class leader, he resigned as the class leader. Now that I have finally become the head of the class as I wished, the pride in my heart has not dissipated, and all the disciples must master an art and a technique.
What is Art? What is Technology? I don't know, I know shrimp paste is not as good as caviar.
"Senior Sister~~" Benny poked her head through the crack in the door.
"I don't understand this! Ask your squad leader! Nizi didn't even lift her eyelids.
"Looking for the squad leader, it's me" Benny sneaked in and closed the door.
"Ah, it's you" Niko relaxed her tense nerves and took a breath.
"Why are you so irritable? My dear senior sister, who messed with you? β
"I don't know what's going on during this time, it seems that I'm all evil, and a lot of people ask this and that every day, and I'm annoyed to death."
"My poor Nizi, you brought it all upon yourself. Look at me, how good it is to be free. β
"Don't talk about this, you are mysterious, what's the good thing?"
"I found a mysterious place."
"Where?" Nizi immediately got up in spirit, and the malaise just now was swept away, and the adventure was so good and exciting.
"I'll take you, come with me!" Benny took Niko's hand as if she were walking outside.
The two of them sneaked out of the gate of the base, and came to a small mountain recess sheltered from the wind, the left and right sides of the col are stone walls, and there is also a whole stone wall in front of it, and there is a small hole under the stone wall, which is not big, only for one person to pass through, and was originally covered by snow. Now the snow has been opened, apparently Benny did it.
"How did you find out?" Nizi is curious, this place is very remote, there should be few people coming, and it is snowy all year round, so it should be difficult to find it.
"You don't know, I found a ferret today, but it's beautiful, and I want to catch it alive. But this little guy is very alert, and he has been run away by it several times. I followed all the way, and when I ran here, I disappeared, so I followed the hole it had dug in, and dug and dug β
Nizi followed Benny, Benny in front, turned on the lights, and walked all the way. It is a cave with a small entrance, but it accommodates one person to go straight without the slightest problem, and it is also very deep and long.
"That's it." Benny stopped, turned sideways, and pointed ahead. A door clearly appeared in front of it, a stone door.
Next to the door, there is a ceramic tile. Nizi stepped forward and saw that the dust on the pottery shard had been wiped clean, it must have been wiped by Benny, there were seven words, very ancient words:
"Enter the cave and go straight, push open the stone gate, and it is forbidden to go outside the mountain."
"This is the word? Do you know? β
"Of course, it's hieroglyphs. You see, this is: this word means that there is a hole in the mountain, this word means the mouth of the hole, this means going straight, this is the door, this is the latch, it means opening and closing the door; This one has the letter s to forbid, and this one means mountain; This X is a seal, and it means that it is not allowed to be taken away."
"You know all this? You're amazing. It doesn't seem to have so many words, just one, two, three, four, just seven words, how can you say a lot of words, blind, right? β
"My master said, this is oracle bone script, that is, hieroglyphs, what you look like is what it is, you don't have to know its pronunciation, just know its meaning."
"Wow! Kanji is so interesting, I want to learn it. β
"Of course it's interesting, my master said that Chinese characters are an art, and all meanings depend on the art of guessing. Or guess what? β
"Okay, I guess. You said that there is a hole in the mountain, and I think this is more like an eye, and it should mean to see; This S letter, as if it is alive, I think it is more like an animal, this is a box, it should not be allowed to enter the animal, there must be something in it that is afraid of being broken; This letter D has a tail, which should mean to push away. The connection is: if you want to visit, enter the cave and go straight, push open the door, no pets, no takeaway! It's definitely a baby inside! β
"Maybe it's a prank! Otherwise, it wouldn't be so guessy. β
"Whether it's a baby or a prank, just look at it." As they went down the passage, they saw a door with a latch on it.
The two gently opened the latch, and Niko just wanted to push the door.
"Wait" Benny immediately stopped Niko's movements, "I see that this word has a very dangerous feeling. Benny pointed to the word with an S, "How do I feel like there's a beast in it." It can't be an ancient beast inside, right? The latter meaning is even more obvious, you can't let the beast go. The meaning of these symbols should be: Attention, there is a closed door at the end of the cave, and there is a beast inside, and you can't let it go. β
"What then? Do you want to find someone? The two of them quickly latched the door and looked at each other.
"There shouldn't be any beasts, right? After so many years of no one to feed you, you still have to starve to death? Besides, this hole is so small, how big a beast can it be" Benny analyzed in detail, and Nizi nodded in agreement.
"There won't be rats or cockroaches, will they?" Nizi raised her worries, lions, tigers, Nizi doesn't take it to heart, mice, cockroaches are too scary.
Benny was startled and exclaimed, "Huh? Rats, cockroaches? Where, where? β
Nizi asked rhetorically, "Are you also afraid of cockroaches and mice?" β
"I, perhaps, should not be afraid? This place is so cold, there can't be such a thing, right? β
The two looked at each other and patted their chests:
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid" and then remove the latch again, and, at the same time, kick it with your foot, quickly take a few steps back, covering your face with your hands. Well? No movement? The two of them passed through their fingers, but the door didn't move at all, and they didn't kick it open! Kick it again, but it still doesn't open. I believe in your evil spirit, use the latch, there can be no lock, that is unscientific, the two of them looked around the door twice, and made sure that there are no other lock points, and there are no other mechanisms.
Continue, kicking, pushing, shoulder-carryingγγγγγγ It was almost half an hour, and the door was still the same door, but the man became two dogs, sticking out their tongues.
Forget it, the two of them glanced at each other, and they both understood each other's intentions: give up! Don't say if there are beasts in it, even if it's full of handsome guys.
Plug the latch back in, huh? A little misaligned, pull it. Well?! Pull it again. The door is accompanied by a creaking sound... The door is open! ~~
"Don't say it!" The two spoke in unison.
"Say it, break off diplomatic relations" is still the same voice. Reaching a unified opinion, the two crept into the stone gate, no beasts, no rats, no cockroaches, and of course, no handsome guys. It's empty, it's dry, and it doesn't seem to be cold. The empty square, surrounded by six apparently artificially excavated stone chambers, without a door, may have been decayed by too much time.
"Ah, I see!" Benny exclaimed.
"What do you understand?" Niko looked at the excited Benny and asked puzzled.
"This is a prison, it's a cell, and the word outside means 'guard the end of the passage, no outsiders are allowed to enter,'" Benny said excitedly.
Full of enthusiasm for discovering treasures, he was poured with a basin of cold water, not even sparks, not to mention treasures, not even rats and cockroaches. The two of them walked back in discouragement.
"Why are there cells?" On the way back to the dormitory, the word prison has been lingering in Benny's mind, the more she thinks about it, the more she can't figure it out, the more she can't figure it out, the more she thinks about it, and when she returns to the dormitory, Benny's mood is terrible, and the appearance of the cell shocks her too much, according to the records of the base, the base has existed here for thousands of years, and it has been deserted, this cell must belong to the base, why should the base build a cell? The answer is imminent.
What is a prison cell for? The role of the cell is to imprison, and what is imprisoned? Of course, it is to imprison and punish the personnel belonging to the base. It seems that our future is not as bright and hopeful as we imagined, and we still have not escaped the arrangement of fate.
Benny was sick, and Benny was the first to get sick. Liu Chang and the four homeroom teachers all appeared in Benny's dormitory, and they attached great importance to this matter. The medical system gives that the cause is anxiety and fear, which triggers a disorder of the body's immune system.
Ask Benny why she is afraid and what she fears, and Benny always trembles and doesn't say a word. Everyone was helpless, because this was a heart disease, and there was no way to do it.
"Benny, what the hell are you afraid of?" As Benny's best friend and best friend, Nizi comes over almost every day and asks the same thing almost every time. Heart disease also needs to be treated with heart medicine, which is the answer given by the medical system, otherwise, it can be cured, but not the root cause.
And every time Benny gave Nizi's answer, she was silent, curled up in a corner of the bed, covering her whole body with the quilt, her body trembling.
"If we don't say anything more, we will break off diplomatic relations! In vain, I treat you as the best sister. "Niko finally went berserk.
"Senior sister, I'm afraid~~~" Nizi's words still worked, Benny's voice was full of fear, and her voice trembled and said.
"Afraid of what? Tell my sister, my sister will call the shots for you" Hearing Benny's words, Nizi was very happy and put her hands on Benny's shoulders.
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'm going to be locked up in that cell." Benny finally told him what scared him.
"What cell? Who's going to put you in a prison cell? Nizi was puzzled.
"I tremble at the thought of being alone, locked up there, in the dark, calling the heavens and the earth to be inadequate.
"What cell?" Hearing Nizi's return, Liu Chang and the four mentors were all confused. Niko recounted their experiences in detail, and led them to the stone chamber where she and Benny had discovered.
"Here it is"
Standing in the doorway, Nizi pointed to the stone door.
Liu Chang led a group of people into this huge space, although many facilities have long been destroyed, there is also an inexplicable eerie feeling. The black and swarthy holes around it are like wild beasts opening their mouths, ready to pounce and devour people at any time.
Some of them were due to the mountain wind, and there were faint bursts of desperate roars and helpless cries in everyone's ears.
"Why is this happening?" Liu Chang also felt incomprehensible, the base could be said to be an advanced civilization for this planet, why there was still such a barbaric act that destroyed the human body and spirit.
Of course, it does not mean that there are no crimes and criminals in advanced civilizations, any civilization level has a black sheep, and all black sheep will be punished. The difference between civilization and barbarism lies in the sentencing process and the means of punishment for these crimes or criminals, and these barbaric methods that destroy the body and spirit are by no means civilized.
For two days, two whole days, Liu Chang didn't take a step out of the room, nor did he do regular training, he just sat quietly and didn't move. This is a big problem, and if not addressed, it will have a big negative impact on his team, and Benny is by no means a special case.
These children, for him, are all treasures, if this incident causes psychological disorders, it is likely to slowly ferment in the subsequent voyage, causing a series of unforeseen harms. Fear of the unpredictable is the real fear.
Why did this cell appear, the base did not record it, whether it was what Benny thought, Liu Chang did not dare to confirm, as for a few hieroglyphs at the door, Liu Chang did not know it, and the important thing was that the system did not have a record of this, after all, the main purpose of the existence of the base was to screen the chosen son, not to record the development process of civilization.
Benny's explanation seems to be correct, after all, the oracle bone is the oldest script, and it may represent a word, a sentence, or a thing.
What to do? This matter must be resolved, and it must not cause an impact among the disciples, once a shadow is formed in their hearts, it will bring great trouble to the future.
Bloody alliance with them? Chest pat guarantee? Liu Chang shook his head, he didn't believe in these himself. My uncle and great-uncle are still the great heroes of the Han Dynasty, the heroes of the wolf Juxu, my grandfather is afraid that they will be smashed on the shoulders, and they will not be wiped out as well!
"Otherwise, let this hundred form a council, and let everyone decide everyone's fate." This is a suggestion made by Maria, who was influenced by Roman culture.
"What is Parliament? Does it work? This is not only Liu Chang's question, but also the question of the remaining three female tutors.
Mary gave a detailed introduction to the Roman system.
"I agree"
After listening to the introduction, Liu Chang was the first to agree. To tell the truth, Liu Chang knows that he is a natural ruler and a natural dictator, and it is logical to adopt the imperial power and the relative power system, and there will not be much resistance.
The point is that he doesn't have much time to deal with everyday things, Xiangquan will definitely be bigger, he will definitely be hollowed out by Xiangquan in the future, once this situation occurs, he only has two choices, one is to slaughter these people, but the people are dead, and he is left with a light pole, he is also a dead end, and the second is to be willing to be a puppet and be at the mercy of others, which he can't accept.
It is this parliamentary system that is most beneficial to him. Since you can't fully possess it, break it up, everyone has it!
