Chapter 14: Hunting Ghosts
The two did not refuse.
After agreeing on the time with Zijin, the mobile compartment restarted, and the huge gear ascended to the highest point hidden by the layers of buildings.
Zijin opened the door with his own hand, and they all saw that Ziyuan was still sleeping in silence. He breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand happily to the two of them, and said don't forget, and when the door was closed, he fled as if he were flying. The two of them silently returned to the haystack after a bizarre experience.
As the young man lay on the haystack, this brief experience still swirled in his mind, gradually evolving into an imagination of actions after a number of standard hours. Some of his imagination was connected to the past, flying back to the way the dragon wandered between the mountains, and some of his imagination was boundless, and he felt that a large cloud was about to drown him.
He fell asleep sleepily.
The next day, which can be called the next day, Ziyuan did not come back for the whole day. The big cat-like Zheng Twenty was rolling around on the grass with the pieces of glass books he had brought. The young man, who was learning to write, carefully asked about Ziyuan's movements.
It may be that it is boiling hot on the grass, and it is like a person taking off his gloves, taking off his cat's claws, revealing the mechanical structure of his body to dissipate heat.
Then, it says:
"Ziyuan may have received a task. The twelfth question is a biological problem, and the twelfth question answering team needs to be in frequent attendance to communicate with the alien camp for communication, observation, and investigation. ”
Gu Chuan had a bottom in his heart, and found another stubble: "The twelfth problem is a biological problem, so what do you usually call the thirteenth problem?" ”
Twenty glanced at him and said, "Those who don't know much will simply call my problem a language problem." ”
Time passed extremely quickly, and Mentor Yuyu fell into sleep again for a moment, and the gear man unscrewed. Zijin, Jing Yuan, and a lion-headed gear man they didn't know stood in front of the door together, looking at the two people in the door.
Gu Chuan asked:
"Do we have anything to prepare?"
Zijin just wanted to say that he didn't have anything to prepare, but Jing Yuan, who had no head, asked:
"It's a bit of a fancy thing...... What kind of people are you? ”
"Which type?"
"Is the 'air pressure' in the body insufficient?"
That's a strange question. Gu Chuan didn't know which air pressure it was, and where he could answer.
They sit in hidden chambers and descend with them in unknown spaces.
Jing Yu Says:
"You should be the breathing class of the chordate kingdom in the astral domain. You also came by desert. Do you have difficulty breathing when walking in the desert? ”
Chu Yun sat on the side, didn't speak, and let Gu Chuan speak.
"Yes."
Gu Chuan weighed it.
"Then you need a filter for the air." Jing Yu paused, and then asked, "What is the yield strength of your outer case?" ”
Yield strength is a noun in the language of the answer city that Gu Chuan has not yet learned. He was at a loss.
"The strength of submission is the degree to which your body is hit by a large stone of what mass it will be, and it will be difficult to recover, long-term or even permanent, obvious, and deformed."
Zijin explained.
"I see."
This word is commonly used in mechanics and materials science, but the problem is that Gu Chuan has never smashed himself, he imagines that he can smash his own big stone, and he doesn't know how heavy it is!
"May I touch your hand?"
When the headless Kyo was talking, it was like a void whispering.
Gu Chuan stretched out his hand, and Jing Yu stretched out his hand. His right hand was wrapped in a white silk glove, which quietly landed on Gu Chuan's wrist, but Gu Chuan felt as if his flesh and bones were being pressed by something weighing a thousand pounds.
This is a gear man who is far more mysterious than Ziyuan or Zijin......
It is possible that Jing Yu combined the same unknown curiosity as Jing Yu Jiu.
The moment Gu Chuan thought of this, Jing Yu suddenly retracted his hand.
"What? Any questions? ”
Gu Chuan asked him.
The faceless Gear Man has no expression to observe.
"No problem......
No one knew where its voice came from, perhaps from the hollow in its head, or the astonishment in the cogwheel man's mind.
Only it knew the astonishing burning heat it had felt in the blood during the temptation it had just felt.
Jing Yu didn't say a word, but said:
"Prepare yourself, I remember that we have combat equipment suitable for them in our private collection."
The name of the lion-headed gear man was originally called Zaiyi.
The lion's head nodded silently, signaling that he understood.
Speaking of which, on the upper level of the Gear People to which Zi Yuan belongs, all the materials seem to be untraded, and the Gear People generally take them as needed. However, in the lower cavern where the psychopathic cogwheel people live, all the supplies need to be traded, and even a single stone may have to pay a large enough price to obtain.
"Because I know that this stone is really worth a world, because it contains a fragment of the soul of one of the oldest gods."
Anyway, that's what the stone vendor said to Gu Chuan.
"You don't believe it? So get out of here? ”
It can only be said that all the gear people who were identified as mentally ill by the answer city are indeed justified.
However, the nominal price and the actual price are two different things. The nominal price may be higher than the sky, but the actual price may only need to be enough to impress the hearts of the gear man. But the Gear People are almost desireless, so the Nether they are impressed with can be ridiculously high or incredibly low.
Fortunately, the nether realm of the trio of Jing Yuan, Zijin and Lion Head is incredibly low.
They, like the upper echelons, are shared almost completely free of charge for combat equipment.
"That's a strange question...... Zijin said with a puzzled expression, "If these equipment can't confirm the real existence of ghosts and ghosts, aren't they scrap metal?" As long as I can bring people to confirm the ghosts I saw at the beginning, it will be valuable! Best, I'd like to call all the people in the city of all the answers with me, hum-huh...... so that they may regret it! I dared to think I was wrong! ”
As he spoke, he thought about it, and no one knew what kind of scene he was in for which he suddenly became cool.
Combat equipment is a bulky garment that at first glance looks a bit like a spacesuit, and is topped with a dome connected to a filter that filters the air.
But after you start it, you can find that there are many crevices on it, in other words, this combat equipment has been around for a long time, and it is not airtight, and can only be used for shelter and lower level protection.
Kyo said that it was once used to dig deeper into the ground.
Hatsuun seemed to enjoy the experience of this bulky chubby dress, and after putting it on, she stretched out her hands and walked down the street like a duck, bouncing on the ground, and then deliberately fell to the ground again! The chubby clothes bounced off the hard steel, and the girl couldn't help but grin.
"Ah......h
In terms of supply, Jing Yu and Zijin have also been prepared.
Under the watchful eyes of the mentally ill, the five of them sat back in the chamber again, ascended with the chamber, and then left the city of Answers by an unknown path through a cave in the sand of a rocky field.
So Gu Chuan saw the Great Wilderness again. The sand of the Great Wilderness is like a sharp weapon for killing, rolling in the air and circling. The whole basin seems to be the placenta of the storm.
He felt that he was not on Earth, but flying on the surface of Mars in a spacesuit, ready to be blown up by a terrible dust storm.
On the walls of the city, terrible breath was blowing from the mouths of those caves.
"What's that?"
"That is to answer the question of celestial bodies, people are trying to use the winds of the world to interfere with the operation of all things in the heavens once again, so as to try to find a deeper law of the existence of celestial bodies."
The question of the celestial bodies is the tenth problem.
Jing Gao always straightened up, as if it was not walking, but floating in the boundless sand. Infinite winds passed through its head, psychedelic like a whirlpool. It continued to the two strangers:
"Let's go! Soon a stronger wind is coming, and we can't catch you! ”
Gu Chuan and Chu Yun hurriedly followed the three people in front.
As for the body behind him, the qi that blew from the walls of the city and the wind of heaven and earth converged, and there was no longer a unified direction, everything was spinning in a strange way, occasionally the wind blew in front of him, trying to blow people back to the city, and occasionally the wind chased after him, as if to take people to infinity.
The wind, which has no direction or direction, has created a vortex of chaos that has never been seen before, and it has rioted endlessly in this ancient land.
Zijin said loudly to Jing Yu in the wind:
"We just came out late before, so it didn't work! The original helpers gave up. ”
Zijin's words made Gu Chuan feel confused.
The last time they came out was the time he and Ziyuan returned, and Ziyuan said that they were going hunting. At that time, Gu Chuan also saw huge gear parts.
"Yes, so this time, as soon as I received the news, I hurriedly informed you."
Jing Yu said unhurriedly.
The wind blows up the dust on the ground. The dust is intertwined, and the wind leads to the sky. So the sky and the moon were covered, and everything was barren. The boundless turbidity dominates the whole world, as if people are not walking on land, but on the deepest sea, and countless fish can be seen swimming in the sea. Fish are loose sand.
The sandstorm obscured the last moon, and everything sank into darkness, and the lion-headed gearman came out with a large, flat, wheel-like thing. The wheels glowed up and down, and all the sand particles that came close to them were attached to the wheel-like thing.
Zijin unwrapped the package and took out another large wheel, which was placed on the other side of the symmetry of the Lion's Head Gear Man. So all the grains of sand that were sucked into the wheel of the lion's head were blown out of the gears in the center of the wheel.
As for between the two wheels, all windstorms were weakened.
Gu Chuan's pressure suddenly subsided, and he walked to Zijin's side, interested in this wheel. Zijin is also an unsuspecting character, and he said with a big grin:
"This strange thing was left over from a long time ago, and it's called ...... It's called ......"
The two couldn't communicate due to the language barrier, and they discussed for a long time to come up with a good consensus translation from the two languages, which was called the Six Fun Wheel.
"There are six wheels, and they are one of the treasures of the city."
In a cogwheel society, everything is shared in order to answer the initial and final questions, but this sharing also depends on the distribution management done by the teachers.
Knowing who he had taken through the channel, Kyogai took two of them and used them for travel in the sandstorm.
Gu Chuan borrowed this blessing, and for the first time he could walk in such a sandstorm in the deep sea, he opened his eyes wide, and relied on the fluorescence of the Six Fun Wheel to see in the distance.
I only saw a vast and dark world, as if everything was dead, all shattered, all stirred together by a blender, in the furnace of heaven and earth, spinning and leaping.
It seems that they are not walking in the desert, but "in the desert".
Sand on the top of the head, sand under the feet, sand on the left, sand on the right, sand in front, and sand in the back......
Gu Chuan looked back with some feeling.
Sure enough, the terrible wall of dust he had seen when he came over had regrouped. This wall of dust may be a natural phenomenon...... But perhaps also to answer the tenth question, these gears were deliberately manipulated and induced.
"The sound tower is warning the outside, and the time may be coming!"
Zijin said loudly to Jing Yuan.
"Yes, their experiments are about to reach their climax."
Jing Yuan's voice was the first time that even Gu Chuan could understand it.
As for the sound tower, Gu Chuan learned that this is another equipment in the answer city, which uses a principle that may be ultrasonic or infrasonic waves, and will warn and disseminate key disaster information like all the gear people in the great wilderness. It was because of the sound tower that Ziyuan understood the origin of the storm in advance.
They continued to move forward. After a while, Zijin shouted excitedly:
"We're almost at the place where we were observed!"
In the wind and sand, they saw that the infinite time and space seemed to be frozen together in the movement of disordered matter. All substances are not clearly distinguished. It could be sand, debris from trees, or the corpses of some creature hiding in a sea of sand. Nothing is not moving, everything is moving endlessly.
This movement is not the subjective initiative of living beings, but passive, passive, driven by nature, and there is nothing that can actively rebel against all this.
Therefore, this will not be considered a living world, this is the feeling of a dead world given to young people by the wilderness that is obviously crazy.
"Yes."
Kyung also whispered in a frustrated voice.
Gu Chuan and Chu Yun could only serve as witnesses to their actions at this time.
"This time, we're going to catch the big guy! Definitely, definitely! ”
Zijin started yelling again.
A riotous wind almost lifted the wheel. The lion's head and Zijin smoked all over their bodies due to the intense exercise, and only then pressed the wheel to the ground.
Animal skins and human skins were generally fragile at this time, revealing more than a dozen flaws.
On the night of the first time, the ghost rock had been turned to dust by the wind and sand, but Zijin still remembered this location clearly, and they stood on the worn out area, like mountaineers waiting to see the first sunrise in their lives.
The fluorescence of the runner was also blown out by the wind at some point. The world in the thick darkness no longer looks like a yang world.
They were forced to hold hands and resist the blowing of the wind with the strength of their shared weight.
Hold on, and wait.
At this time, Zijin stopped speaking, no one spoke anymore, and they were so silent that they could only hear each other's breathing.
I don't know how many kilometers of terrifying dust walls that only exist in the other world are completely swept up in the sky, and the optical perspective position of the sky and the earth has reached the most correct moment that makes the world darkest, so they really see the light in front of them and pierce the light that does not belong to the living world.
It only illuminated for a moment, and then disappeared in the moonlight.
But in the next moment, the moonlight is obscured again, and the light that does not belong to the modern world will reappear.
And the ghost went on, lost in a world filled with dust.
They saw it.
It was a ghostly ship.
