Between the reckless mountains, the mist lingers, and the sky and the earth are white.

The sun had risen, but the night fog had not yet lifted.

The roar of a helicopter pierced the sky and descended towards the verdant land.

Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and Lu Ming came to the place of sacrifice of the mountain god again.

At this moment, a lot has changed from what it used to be. For example, a wide and gentle road was built between the nearest landing site and the cave where the mountain god worshipped, and there were many makeshift buildings around the landing site.

There were many people dressed as scientific researchers, tinkering with instruments and equipment, constantly going in and out of the cave. There are also people in uniforms and guns in their hands to maintain order and prevent accidents.

It is clear that the forces from the human world are trying to study this place, to understand this place.

The helicopter fell, and several people came down separately. Looking at the cave not far away, which was still shrouded in thick fog, He Wei said: "Originally, we planned to directly break through the mountain and build a tunnel to lead directly to the mountain god. It's easier to get in and out this way. But in order to prevent any accidents, in the end, I didn't do it, just widened the original cave. ”

In this regard, Lu Ming can understand.

He knew that in the face of a device that was most likely left over from a super alien civilization, changing the internal structure of the mountain god's place of worship at will might lead to something unexpected.

"Let's go."

Zhang Dingshan walked forward with the two of them.

It is clear that the personnel stationed here have been notified in advance and are ready accordingly. At this moment, inside the cave, there are three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the security is heavy.

In a matter of moments, several people followed the inner passage, which had apparently been recently repaired and leveled, to the statue of the mountain god.

Under the cliff on the side, between the stalactites, the original white bones have disappeared. The dirt and filth of the interior were also gone, and it was clear that someone had done a thorough and meticulous cleaning.

At the moment, apart from being heavily guarded, this cave resembles the caves of some tourist attractions.

Seeing Lu Ming and the three of them coming in, some of the staff wearing white protective clothing that were originally surrounding the mountain god statue immediately moved away, and even moved all kinds of equipment away, and the front was immediately empty.

More than a dozen heavily armed fighters walked over and stood behind the trio.

A man in a white hazmat suit said, "Captain Zhang, we're ready. ”

"Okay."

Zhang Dingshan agreed, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, no one is allowed to speak except me." ”

The researchers made OK gestures to Zhang Dingshan, and the heavily armed soldiers saluted in unison, also without speaking.

Zhang Dingshan looked at Lu Ming.

"Now, you still have a chance to regret it."

Lu Ming smiled and shook his head.

Frankly speaking, although I have done a good job of psychological construction a long time ago, I have long been determined to completely solve this matter at all costs, never suffer from future troubles, and I am determined to lie on the altar at this time to spy on the secrets of the mountain god, but when the matter comes, it is false to say that I am not afraid in my heart.

But...... When it comes, you need to be bold.

Barely suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Lu Ming walked directly towards the altar in front of the mountain god statue.

In front of the altar, the huge statue of the mountain god seemed to be looking at him with a smile at the moment.

Standing in front of the altar, trying to control himself from looking at the statue of the mountain god, trying to calm his state of mind, and taking a few breaths hard, Lu Ming turned around, bent down, and slowly sat on the altar.

It's like lying down on the fake altar that was specially built by the X organization.

After that, he controlled his thigh muscles and lowered his legs on the altar. Then he leaned back and slowly lay down, with his hands crossed over his chest.

And before that, the guns in the hands of the fighters were raised. Different people were aiming in different directions, guarding every part of the cave.

The cold and hard touch of the altar spread through his clothes and spread throughout Lu Ming's body. I don't know if it was an illusion or what, he felt his body a little stiff, a little cold, and a little uncontrollable slight trembling.

But......

Suddenly, a warm sensation came through his back. It's like a fire burning under this altar, like a kang in the countryside of the north.

Warm?

Lu Ming's thoughts almost froze at this moment.

In front of the altar, Zhang Dingshan's expression was still calm.

Suddenly, he saw a little light that was not his own light source.

The light flickered and flickered, and the space in front of him seemed to be distorted at this moment.

After that, he saw almost the same image in the Church of Organization X.

It was an aperture of light that emitted pastel colors. It didn't have any support, so it appeared next to the altar out of thin air, in front of Zhang Dingshan and He Wei.

Several researchers watched the scene in shock, as if their minds were being sucked away by the aperture. But even at this moment, they did not forget Zhang Dingshan's order.

Don't speak, don't make any sound.

He Wei's eyes narrowed slightly. Her fingers were always on the trigger of the firearm, ready to fire.

Zhang Dingshan's expression was full of solemnity.

The aperture slowly expanded, eventually to the size of a door. Through this door, Zhang Dingshan clearly saw the huge room behind the door, which was full of silver-white metallic luster.

The walls, floors, ceilings, are all the same color. There was no light source in sight, but it was full of brightness.

Not long ago, in the video materials left by the core members of the X organization, Zhang Dingshan clearly saw that many people had entered it.

It's almost certainly the same place.

It's just that at this moment, Zhang Dingshan didn't see any traces of anyone entering this huge metal room.

Nothing. It's just a silvery room.

A slightly mechanical, but extremely standard, emotionless voice suddenly sounded in the cave.

It seems to come from all directions, and there is no clear source at all, making it unclear which direction it is coming from.

"The sacrifice has been confirmed. What do you want? ”

Zhang Dingshan knew that before Lu Ming, it was not that no one had ventured to lie on this altar. However, records show that no changes occurred at that time. But now, this peculiar scene is accompanied by Lu Ming's lying down, and it is really presented in front of people.

He also knew that, according to the normal process, he should have made his wish at this moment.

But he didn't speak. No one spoke at this moment.

He just dragged something from his waist - it looked like some kind of melon, but it was made of metal.

It was a grenade.

He casually threw the grenade towards the light door.

He clearly saw that the grenade drew an arc and rushed directly in front of the light gate, and the next moment it came into contact with it.

Normally, it would have flown into the huge metal room behind the light door. But once again, the unexpected happened.

The moment it crossed the light gate, the grenade suddenly vanished.

It didn't bounce back, it didn't enter the metal room, it just disappeared inexplicably, completely without a trace.

Zhang Dingshan's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected this scene a long time ago. He drew his dagger again and threw it at the light door.

The dagger was also gone.

He reached for the hem of his shirt and tore it hard, immediately ripping off a piece of fabric. He clumped the cloth into a ball and threw it again.

The fabric is also gone.

He beckoned, and a researcher handed over a cage. In the cage, a mouse was screaming in horror.

He grabbed the guinea pig and threw it straight over.

The guinea pigs are also gone.

After that, he tried weeds, pigs' heads, dirt, rocks, guns, and even a cannonball, but none of them could get past the light gate and disappeared.

He finally spoke.

"What can you give me?"

The slightly mechanically stiff voice rang out: "Say what you want, and I'll tell you how many sacrifices are needed in exchange." ”

Zhang Dingshan said lightly: "I want to know all your secrets." ”

"I can't grant your wish."

"I want you to be gone from the face of the earth forever."

"I can't grant your wish."

……

After trying for a long time, after another "I can't fulfill your wish", Zhang Dingshan did not make any new requests. He walked to the altar in silence, directly grabbed Lu Ming's hand, and pulled him up.

"You throw it."

Lu Ming got up and moved his already stiff body. After that, he took a grenade handed by Zhang Dingshan and threw it out as well.

The grenade disappeared again. It is the same as when Zhang Dingshan threw it before.

After that, Lu Ming tried the rest of the things again, guinea pigs, miscellaneous things, and the like, but these things were still all gone.

Zhang Dingshan was silent for a moment and gave up his intention to continue trying.

"I haven't figured out what I want yet. When I remember, I'll give you the sacrifice first. ”

Immediately after that, the aperture began to shrink, smaller and smaller, and in just a few seconds, it completely disappeared from the cave as if it had never existed.

Obviously, this time the sacrifice, or rather the deal, did not work out.

"The alert is lifted, let's go."

The fighters lowered their guns, and the researchers let out an instant of exclamation.

"Spatial teleportation, it turned out to be a real spatial teleportation!"

"By what theory did you achieve this? Wormholes? Or is it space folding? ”

"Where does the energy come from?"

"It's amazing!"

……

Zhang Dingshan and He Wei walked silently to the outside of the cave. Lu Ming followed behind. His body was still a little stiff, but he was still trying to stay in shape.

Walking out of the cave, at this moment, the thick fog that haunted the mountains had dissipated a little, and the sun finally shone down.

Facing the slightly dim sun, Lu Ming had a feeling of being in a different world.

Returning to the landing point and entering a room, He Wei spoke first.

"Obviously, only things or lives that have the permission of the mountain god can pass through that portal. Otherwise, no one is allowed to enter, whether there is life or not, whether there is a threat or not. ”

The mountain god's device, or intelligent program, does not leave that kind of loophole for people to drill.

Lu Ming knew that the only feasible plan in his speculation had also failed at this moment.

So...... There are few more viable options.

But at this moment, a crazy idea popped up in Lu Ming's mind.

"Captain, do you have a reliable enough positioning device?"
