Chapter 88: The Mysterious Chamber of Secrets
"When we first came here, we did look at this place carefully for a few rounds, not to mention looking, we touched everything we could touch," Houthi said. ”
"Yes, first of all, the strangest thing about this place is the patterns on the ground, which I think are clearly carved by humans, or sapient beings," Mike said. Because it has a very strong regularity, practicality and even artistry. You see, the lines are very uniform, and the floor is made of hard glowing crystals or something, so the lines must be carved with a sharp tool. ”
Hussei interjected at this time and asked: "I understand the artistry, these lines look beautiful and make people look very comfortable." What about regularity and practicality? ”
"Humph!" Mike snorted lightly and continued: "You see, the direction of these ripples in the middle is regular, although it seems that the swing position of each one is different, but they do not affect each other, do not intersect, and collectively extend towards the center of the circle. ”
Housé nodded and said, "Makes sense." ”
"As for practicality," Mike continued, "as you can see, the water dripping from both sides of the circle flows through these ripples to the center of the circle, indicating that there is a difference in height between the two ends of the ripples, and the purpose is to absorb the water here and let it flow to the little hole in the middle. ”
Joseph asked, "Have you seen the little hole in the middle?" ”
"I've seen it countless times, and I've reached in and touched it countless times, and it feels like a little shaft with nothing but unfathomable water," Housé said. ”
"We used to use all our clothes, the belts to make them as long as we could, and then we sank into the water and still couldn't reach the bottom of the puddle," Mike said. ”
Joseph said: "Apart from this circular pattern, what are the other characteristics of this place?" ”
Mike said, "One is the material of the inner wall of this cuboid space. We all had daggers at the beginning, so we could use daggers to scrape these crystal-like things, and found that the hardness was quite high, and it took a lot of force to scrape out some white glowing powder, I once tasted it, and the taste was like stone powder, but there was an astringent taste, like..."
Joseph interrupted, "By the way, what about your weapons?" Where did you carry out your mission before that? How did you get here? ”
After speaking, he looked at the altitude scale displayed by the electronic bracelet on his wrist and continued: "Huh? More than 2,000 above sea level? Impossible, are we now on the Guizhou Plateau? ”
"Don't mention, we were escorting two scientists with our brothers in the class to a large forest in the northernmost part of the Origin Plain to carry out routine exploration," Sahu said. After setting up the tent, the three of us met together to, so we only brought a spear and no helmet. It didn't take a few minutes to start pulling, and before I could wipe my buttocks, I fainted together, and when I woke up, I was here. The three spears that had been put together before were gone, leaving only the dagger in the scabbard inside the boot. After fainting a few more times in this hellish place, even the dagger is gone. ”
"We also found out that the altitude we were at was very different from where we got off the plane, so we fainted and were transported a long way, right," Mike said. ”
Joseph said, "I guess, it's a bit similar to my experience here, I also fainted in the northern part of the Plains of Origin, and some of the things I carried, as well as a small Eden tiger that I caught on the way, are gone. Moving on to the peculiarities of this place. ”
Mike said, "Except for the material... You see, the side wall here is seven or eight meters high, and when Anthony was not crazy, the three of us used to climb up the ladder to observe the height of the side wall, and found that at a height of more than two meters, there was a parallel slit, and the four walls were all the same height, just like this big coffin-like ghost thing divided into two halves. This circle of thin slits is very tight, and the tip of the dagger is inserted hard, and the slightest bit cannot be inserted into the seam. ”
Joseph said, "Could there be some machinery that could take this... The upper part of the large coffin was lifted. The guys outside can carry us out and give us something to eat, a bath... And excretion. ”
Sahu said, "Have we become experimental subjects? Otherwise, it would not be possible to explain the fact that we are able to eat and excrete even in a coma. And who captured us here, our own advance troops, or aliens? ”
Joseph said: "It is not very likely that we are humans, and what is there to study about human beings themselves." I reckon we've become the subject of some kind of indigenous intelligent beings. ”
Sahu said with a sad face: "I'll just say, those rumors are true. ”
Joseph asked, "What rumors?" ”
Sahu said: "When you were just taken away from the base by something strange, the people in the base said that Muma, the female monkey, was actually a high-level species on this planet. There are even other intelligent beings on this planet that can compete with or even be smarter and more powerful than humans. That inexplicable fire, and the capture of you and General Steve by the stealthy creatures, was done by the sapient creatures. ”
Joseph said: "I was captured by an invisible animal, or possibly a machine. ”
Mike said, "Could it be the same group of people who caught us here as the same group of people who arrested you and Steve before, well, I should say it's the same group of aliens." ”
Joseph said, "The stealthy guy who caught me is an accomplice to David and Muma, if it's the same gang... Man, David and Muma must be there too, but they don't need to study the four of us like this. So I guess it's another group of guys who don't have anything to do with David and Muma who caught us here. ”
Sahu said, "I'd rather capture the guys we came here with David and Muma..."
Seeing that Mike secretly glared at Sahu, Joseph shook his head and said, "It's okay, if it's me, I also hope so, at least David and Muma, and even the people of the advance army, are unlikely to kill us." If it is replaced by a native intelligent creature, it is not necessarily, and after studying us thoroughly, it is also possible to eat us as food or make a taxidermy, after all, we also deal with the native animals here. This is the law of the cosmic jungle, whoever is weak will be studied or even become food, and even destroyed like ants, even without any reason. ”
Sahu said: "Yes, yes, the law of the jungle, there was a Chinese science fiction novel more than a hundred years ago, which said that --- high-level creature wants to destroy a low-level creature, and it has nothing to do with this low-level creature. ”
