Chapter 30: Into the Depths
Heavy rain hit the Hanging Garden, but the Hanging Garden lights still didn't stop.
In response to the deteriorating situation in the distance, District 12 is extremely busy. The Curiosities Division is only responsible for the supply of curiosities. However, their commander was soft-minded and face-saving, and as soon as the National Assembly demanded it sternly, the commander patted his chest and accepted the order, and then assigned the task to the subordinates, and ordered the Treasure Division to fully assist the Military Division. After a wave of operations, the Treasure Division undertook the most logistical tasks.
But there was a very important guest that day, so a few clerks were sent to greet him. They were also sad and miserable, thinking that their original task had not been completed, and they would have to be punished by their superiors when the time came, but if they didn't wait, they wouldn't dare to do so. Because the people who are coming are higher than their superiors.
They waited for most of the day before the dragon was carrying the guest to the door of the Treasures.
"Boss Chao, you're here...... clerk breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly stepped forward with an umbrella, and said, "Please come here." β
Chao Lao nodded.
He went inside with his guards.
The man was old, but the old in his name was not a description, but a part of his name. He called it when he was a child, and the old time here is very long, which means the opposite of novelty and new era.
As for the l. dragon that had been left behind, he looked down at the passage they had entered for a long time, and let out a long, low cry.
Until then, the allosaurus in District 12 is resting en masse. After that, they opened their eyes one by one.
The sound of rain around him was incessant, muffling the sound of wings vibrating.
Chao Lao and several clerks were walking on the side door road, and when they heard the sound in the drainage pipe, they showed a rather nostalgic expression:
"I was originally from the Treasure Division, and I'm still a family with you. Once here, I also fought with my comrades. β
The internal structure of the Treasure Division is not simple to say. Its overall design is divided into two layers, inside and outside. However, on the basis of the inner and outer layers, because of the different body adaptability of humans and alien dragons, they are divided into small paths that only allow people to pass through, and avenues that can accommodate alien dragons to descend. Small human roads were very particular during the war of the fall of the dynasty, and they were dug in all directions due to the temporary needs of the war.
The rooms that only communicate with the path, that is, the rooms that only people can enter, were once important strongholds for the tug-of-war between the human system and the alien dragons, and some of the rooms of the Treasure Division are still stacked with decorations and utensils from the past war period, which is very different from the foreign affairs department dressed up in a glamorous manner.
The registrar hinted at a reception.
Who knew that he waved his hand to the old man and said:
"Excuse me from the hospitality, take me straight inside. I don't have time to stay here for long. β
The clerk was also happy to take it easy and led the way.
During the period of the Heterosaurus Dynasty, each generation would hold a gift party for all nations, and many savage countries would bring rare flowers, strange stones and beasts from all over the world to the hanging garden to celebrate the birthday of the elder dragons of the past dynasties. The human generation is one year old of the Elder Dragon.
Among all kinds of curiosities, there are a lot of animals and plants, and it is difficult and dangerous to survive in natural stocking.
During the fall of the dynasty, the great war was continuous, the dragon system fled, and the Treasure Division lost most of the treasure, but the remaining part was enough to be proud of Qiongqiu, which was beyond the reach of the current savage country.
Neon crystals illuminate every barn, as well as the animals in the bars. The old man saw many animals that he was familiar with. The animals had their tongues cut out, and some had their teeth cleaned and hung in a string at the door. Animals without tongues and teeth will also have their organs cut off and hung in the doorway.
This was a custom at the beginning of the establishment of the Allosaurus Dynasty, representing the gap between the hunters in the sky and the prey on the ground.
After the restructuring of the Treasure Division, the bars were replaced, and now most of them are transparent walls made of transistors. The stones between each cell and cell glow. These luminous stones date back to the remnants of the Heterosaurus Dynasty, and were excavated and piled up here by people thousands of generations ago. They have been shining for thousands of generations, and there are studies that believe they will continue to shine down for thousands of generations. However, if it comes to thousands of generations, the elder dragon said that the stone may no longer be able to shine and will need to be replaced.
Animals without tongues and animals with tongues cut out, animals with eyes or animals without eyes are silently staring at people walking outside.
As he walked, he said:
"These creatures, the Black Elder Dragon's treatment may be needed."
The clerk scribbled on the paper without thinking, and then as if he noticed something, he asked in surprise:
"It's a ...... Too much, right? β
"The National Assembly has agreed."
"That'...... We have no opinion. β
The clerk signaled to his subordinates, and the subordinates communicated with the surrounding keepers.
At that time, the keeper was feeding an egg-shaped creature. The egg lay lazily in its cell, making some indeterminate noises that caused the other animals to cry.
When the keeper and his men began to talk about the transport of the exotic animals, the egg turned its head palely and muttered words that no one in the nursery understood.
And the old man continues to move forward:
"Boy, take me to see that big guy."
The clerk hurriedly took a few steps to the front of the old man, and took the old man and his two guards on the cable car, and then the cable car began to speed in the inner layer of the treasure division, circled around the treasure division to the ground, and then came to a large building hollow.
The cavity was made of a special kind of ore that changes color due to temperature, and it used to be paced by dragons, and people walked the sheep's intestine path connected by ropes.
Xiang Lao got out of the car and got up, and after a few steps, he saw a huge steel structure sealed in a crystal tube.
On the edge of the steel artifact is a line of names that no one can understand.
The old man asked the officer:
"Can you let me talk to the guy who can't hold out inside?"
"If you use the allosaurus organs, you can." "But we've shouted to the inside several times before, and there's been no response from the other side. β
"Out of the way, out of the way." After all......
You don't know many secret things, and you don't know many things to communicate.
The old man said.
The Registrar then said:
"Then please go this way, let's get ready. You can start by taking a look at our previous call logs. β
Chao Lao quickly sat down, opened a page of the book, and smiled absently when he saw the ordinary coercion and temptation on it. The officers removed the allosaurus organs from the freezer. The so-called allosaurus organ is to put the brain marrow of the dead allosaurus into the pipe, and under the freezing temperature, the brain marrow of the allosaurus will not decay, but can maintain the function of transmitting psychic language for a long time.
As for the cerebral medulla, both ends are connected to the cochlea and horns of the allosaurus. Horns can be used to expand the range of psychic language beyond the body. The cochlea is even more subtle, a mystical spiral-shaped structure that has the ability to translate human voices into psychic language.
"It should be in the box with this label."
The clerk quickly prepared the allosaurus organs needed for communication, but suddenly his palms shook, and the frozen block he had just picked up fell back into the box. It's not that they can't hold things tightly, it's that the building suddenly shook.
"What?"
Several people looked at each other, and the short peaceful life had worn away their keen perception of battle and death as children.
Before the words could be spoken, an even greater tremor had arrived, making them scarcely able to stand and falling to the ground.
The sound of the rain kept ringing.
The fragile butterfly that perched on the side of the Curious Thing Division flapped its wings, struggling to fly somewhere else.
The clerk in the depths didn't know what was going on. The clerk on the periphery opened the window in the same bewilderment, wanting to see what was going on outside.
The world in the rain remained in a terrifying silence, one after another dragon shadows quietly landed on the buildings of the Treasures, the words of the heart were transmitted to each other unscrupulously, and the strong wings were freely flapping the rain waves in the air.
Swirling droplets of water struck the windows indiscriminately, wetting people's faces.
People who have forgotten the past are obsessed with the illusion of peace, unaware of what is about to happen, and are still yelling at the dragons to drive away this group of inferior creatures.
The people who want to survive have understood what is happening, and what is about to comeβthey run behind them with their hands and feet, but don't try to escape!
Qiongqiu's strongest predator didn't need to think about any tactics, just obeyed his wild and timeless instincts to pounce on the massive rock, then raised its sharp claws to pierce the stone wall.
More than a dozen parts of the huge domed building were killed. The stone overturned, falling inwards from all sides, collapsing outwards to reveal the cracks that had been cut, transported, and repaired. The billowing boulders pressed against the ground were a pink and blood-colored color, and the rain and snow would mix and flow deeper into the earth.
The officer, unable to escape, slid to the ground and raised his eyes.
The allosaurus also looked back, and in a pair of bloodshot eyes was the joy of once again opening its teeth and dancing its claws and flying in the sky.
The citizens of the building near the Curiosity Division noticed the outside scene and began to evacuate under the call of the guards. Sirens sounded from all over the surface, resounding over the Hanging Gardenβ
However, the transportation capacity and support capacity of the Hanging Nursery are limited, and now it is at the top of the load, and in the case of the echo of the dragons in various districts, the Hanging Nursery cannot make immediate and effective support by relying on cables alone.
The main effective support is only in the strange things.
But most of the strange things, including those whose functions are unknown, are in the Treasure Division.
Gu Chuan is sure of this.
The young man in the raincoat carefully avoided picking up all kinds of weapons, and was fighting with the alien dragons, cutting off a thin stone wall with a flicker, and under the cover of the dragons' attacks, he walked into the narrow corridor.
The corridor is filled with building materials that have not yet been cleaned up, and is still lit mainly by stone. He also saw tracks that resembled minecarts. But not here
"What's next? Mentor! β
Excited words came to his mind.
He brought a piece of thread wrapped around his arm, and even if the thread was broken and not connected to each other, it could expand his horizons of mind language.
He said calmly:
"Well done, guys. This is only the first step in regaining our glory and dignity. Now that the matter is not over, we must deal with it calmly, you must remember to be careful of attacks from the air and underground, occupy the big cave as soon as possible, and seize those powerful and strange things by the power of the group, the strength of everyone, and use the spiritual language to hypnotize the group of people to give up resistance. β
The Great Cavern is the ancient name given by the dragons to the Curiosity Division, which is so complex that it needs to be moved by a cable car.
"Okay, okay."
The dragons' voices over there were excited.
The long-suppressed instincts, the use of psychic language, freedom to fly, freedom to destroy, and glory, victory, all the lost past, all the fantasies of the coming mingle, making them almost drunk and lucid and crazy.
Only a handful of intelligent dragons are aware of a blind spot:
"But where are you now, Celestial Mentor? We can't find you, you won't get hurt, will you? β
The dragon named Celestial Grace, who was referred to by the young man as the leader of the squad, was spreading the word of conversation. The so-called thread did not actually exist in the era of the Allosaurus Dynasty, but it was not until the dynastic war period that the medical scientists used the powder made from the scales and horns of the Allosaurus and mixed it with comfrey.
This was originally an experiment for the human system, but the results were only effective for allosaurs.
Spreading a wide range of speech lines to expand the ability of psychic language is the first tactic that the Xosaurs have tried under the guidance of young people.
"Don't worry." The young man's face did not change and his mind was so calm that he lied, "My body is small, and I am the smallest of the kind. We're trying to sneak into people's rooms to see if they do anything bad, and we'll be sure to converge after that. β
Then, he let the dragons call and talk to each other, and he himself touched the depths of the Curiosity.
Within a few steps, he encountered an officer who had fled in a panic.
When the clerk saw the man in the raincoat, he shouted:
"Did you take refuge from outside? What's going on out there? What are those dragons doing? β
Who knew that the man's hand was just gently patted on his shoulder. His head froze, as if he heard his colleague asking him where to store several curiosities.
He cried out in a trance:
"Not now, friend, run away, something big is wrong! I still care what those things do."
Gu Chuan, under the advice of Tian Li, had long known that the Hanging Garden Dynasty had some kind of means to listen to the spiritual language. The theory of the allosaurs is that this kind of monitoring comes from the transistors all over the place, but this kind of listening to the psychic language does not directly counter the psychic language. Therefore, the best way to disrupt this kind of snooping is to ...... Directly makes the snooping pointless.
For example, the previous Black Elder Dragon had a lofty status, was frank and unafraid, and was not afraid of surveillance, for example, now, the venue is chaotic, and it is difficult for people to enter, and he is not afraid of surveillance.
However, psychic language is also a limited thing, it cannot directly tamper with the human spirit, but is close to some kind of implied hypnosis, so it takes time to read the information to create the environment, and the human body responds unexpectedly.
Gu Chuan calmly said in his mind with the posture of the commissioner in his impression:
"There are some treasures that are more important than my life, they are my mission, make sure to circumference, tell me quickly."
"Good, good ......"
The official finished all he knew in a trance.
When he came to his senses again, his superiors and colleagues were gone, and he only remembered going inside alone.
Without hesitation, he continued on his way, trying to escape the battle in a small, untreated room at the end, only to see the wind and rain blow in and the wall cut a small crack.
The rocks that fell to the ground reflected colorful light under the neon.
