Next Chapter

Parallel worlds.

Blue Star A.D. March 2024.

Guanggao City, four provinces of Longguo.

Wang Xiao held a box in his hand, sat on the ground and carefully studied the patterns and lines on the box, and forgot that he was more than ten meters deep underground.

Scattered around are countless bronzes of various shapes, and rows of mounds and ravines separate the burial places of the bronzes.

Viewed from above, it is a huge burial pit covering an area of about 12 square kilometers.

This is the Dragon Kingdom, and even the world's famous archaeological site - the ancient Sanxingdui site of the Dragon Kingdom.

Wang Xiao graduated from the archaeology major of the university three years ago, and successfully joined the Sanxingdui Site Archaeological Office with excellent results through layers of screening.

This year is the third year that Wang Xiao has worked at the Sanxingdui site.

The salary has not changed, the position has not changed, and he is still a front-line cleaner.

At this time, only Wang Xiao was left in the deep ditch and pothole, and the other colleagues all left work early to eat.

Wang Xiao, who was staring at the bronze box, had forgotten himself, and gradually felt that his soul was sucked into the bronze box.

There was a fluctuating audio in my ears, a magical audio frequency that no one in the Blue Star could hear.

Wang Xiao only heard the audio through the bronze box, but he didn't know what it meant.

Suddenly, the bronze box flashed a glare of light.

Wang Xiao immediately understood the meaning of this audio.

"Are the coordinates calibrated?"

"Calibrated Laniakea Supercluster - Virgo Cluster - Home Group - Milky Way - Huarm - Gould Belt - Local Bubble - Local Interstellar Cloud - Oort Cloud - Third Planet of the Solar System - Blue Star - 11°20 N, 142°11.5 E."

"Ready to launch."

"Yes, King"

The audio vanished, and with it the glow on the bronze box.

After Wang Xiao was in a trance for a while, he came back to his senses. The scene just now crossed through the bottom of his heart, and it was so real. But years of education told him that this should be an illusion, caused by his years of hard work and not resting well.

Wang Xiao sat down on the ground, trying to think back and make sure that he was not delusional just now, so he became deeply curious about the miracle of the bronze box.

Wang Xiao thought of an alien invasion.

Thought of an otherworldly break-in.

Thought of a comet hitting a blue star.

From the analyzed audio content, Wang Xiao thought of countless possibilities.

There is great pressure in my heart, if any of these possibilities are true, it will definitely rewrite the historical pattern of Blue Star and deeply affect the fate of 8 billion people in Blue Star.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Xiao wanted to report the matter to his superiors, but when he thought of his three-year experience in the archaeological office, it was exactly the same as a sentence said by a big man.

I can't see the bright future, and I can't finish the twists and turns of life.

For those superiors on weekdays, Wang Xiao felt that even if he reported it, he would be sent directly, but even so, Wang Xiao felt that he should report it.

After all, this is an earth-shattering event, and as a member of the human race, Wang Xiao feels that he has the responsibility to report upward.

So, Wang Xiao took the bronze box, which was about 20 centimeters long and 5 centimeters wide, out of the hole. Holding the bronze box, Wang Xiao went straight to the director's office.

Standing at the door of the director's office, Wang Xiao heard the frolicking of men and women inside, so he knocked on the door.

There was a rumbling sound in the room, as if the sound of a person falling from a table and hitting a wooden plank on the floor, accompanied by the sound of some cups and books scattering, and it took a while before it fell silent.

"Come in" came from a majestic middle-aged man, a deep and calm voice.

Wang Xiao pushed open the door and walked in.

He glanced at Qian Xiaohua, who was standing behind the director, who had once been in the same university and major as Wang Xiao.

A beautiful woman who is somewhat famous in school, has a wide range of contacts, has a wide range of interests, and can get along with her classmates and teachers.

One is a wooden man who is immersed in hard study, and the society is afraid of quietness, without any social activities, only reading. But it is also the assistant that the school professor and teacher like, easy to use and less words, and can keep secrets. This is also the reason why the director took a fancy to Wang Xiao among the candidates in that year.

Although Qian Xiaohua and Wang Xiao are both children from the countryside of Dashan, the two have no communication, and Wang Xiao only met her after coming to work in the Sanxingdui Ruins Archaeological Office.

At this time, although the director did not have any displeased or angry expression on his face, the eyes that looked at Wang Xiao were extremely majestic and sharp, which was completely different from the kind encouragement in the smile in the past.

Wang Xiao didn't care about the director's expression, nor did he look at Qian Xiaohua for the second time. staring at the director seriously, he said in a wooden manner: "Director, there is an extremely important report. ”

Hearing Wang Xiao's words, the director looked serious and looked at Wang Xiao quietly, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, the director spoke: "Xiaohua, you go out first, and later, I will guide you in your work." ”

Qian Xiaohua responded with a smile: "Okay, director." Then he glanced at Wang Xiao and walked out of the director's office gracefully.

Wang Xiao turned around and walked to the door, closed the door, and returned to the chair in front of the director's desk and sat down. took out the bronze box and put it on the table, the director was suddenly shocked, and he opened his mouth to scold Wang Xiao angrily.

"Director, be quiet, listen to me." Wang Xiao interrupted the director's opening with a voice.

Hearing this, the director glanced at Wang Xiao coldly. thought in his heart, if Wang Xiao couldn't say a reasonable reason, Wang Xiao would look good.

Seeing that the director suppressed his anger, Wang Xiao opened his mouth and said, "This is a bronze box brought out from the Sanxingdui ruins. ”

The director didn't speak, and could only stare at Wang Xiao coldly with anger. What I thought in my heart was that I was too deceitful, although I was almost professional, but I didn't know the bronzes in the Sanxingdui ruins I was in charge of. Okay, you Wang Xiao, is this director so unbearable in your heart? I just want to be banged!

Wang Xiao continued: "When I was wiping the box just now, the box glowed..."

The director patiently listened to Wang Xiao's narration, reached out and picked up the bronze box, carefully observed, wiped, and the bronze box did not react.

After a few minutes, the director put down the bronze box, and all the anger in his heart dissipated.

smiled and said to Wang Xiao kindly: "Xiao Wang, I know that the promotion request you submitted last time was not approved, and I am under a lot of pressure, but don't be discouraged!" ”

"You are still young, your professional knowledge and technology are also solid, and you are one of the few talents in our Sanxingdui Site Archaeological Office, and your promotion is also a matter of time."

The director pondered for a moment and continued: "So be it! Next time, next time I will definitely agree to your request for promotion, how about it. ”

After listening to the director's words, Wang Xiao shook his head.

The director was immediately unhappy and said, "This is not satisfied, Xiao Wang!" Do you know how to be grateful? ”

Wang Xiao opened his mouth and said: "No, director, I am very mentally normal, the possibilities I just mentioned may really have one of them appear in our Blue Star." ”

The director looked at Wang Xiao with some pity, and blamed himself for squeezing Wang Xiao too hard, causing Wang Xiao to start to feel a little mentally abnormal. He could only say to Wang Xiao earnestly: "Xiao Wang! The director is very optimistic about you! What you say, I will seriously consider it, rest assured, I am absolutely convinced that you are not lying. ”

Wang Xiao looked at the director's serious expression, and nodded reassuringly.

The director spoke again: "Xiao Wang! You go back and have a good rest for a week, I'll give you a holiday, it's been hard during this time, paid vacation, walk around and have fun, relax and relax, don't tense your nerves as a whole. ”

Looking at the kind director, Wang Xiao was a little moved, and said softly: "Thank you for your concern." Wang Xiao turned around and walked out of the room.

"Wait a minute," the director suddenly called out to Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao turned to look at the director, his face was confused, and he didn't know why the director stopped him.

"Bring the bronze box and put it on the bronze shelf, and you can't bring the bronze out without permission in the future."

The director's words surprised Wang Xiao. Isn't this bronze box meant to be used as evidence to explain what I just said? Why bring it back?

Soon, a flash of inspiration flashed in Wang Xiao's heart, and he suddenly understood that the director was fooling himself just now, and he didn't believe what he just said at all.

At this time, looking at the smiling and kind director, Wang Xiao couldn't say a thousand words, so he could only sigh and walk out of the director's office with a bronze box.

Returning to his bedroom in the Sanxingdui archaeological area, Wang Xiaocai recovered from his loss, and only then did he realize that he did not put the bronze box on the shelf in the specified area where the bronzes were placed, and he was still holding a heavy bronze box in his hand.

Wang Xiao looked at it and put it on the table next to him. Then, get up and go to the kitchen to prepare some dinner for the day.

After a busy time, I fried two dishes and cooked some rice. Sitting at the table, he began to eat, thinking about the bronze box as he ate.

After passing through the director's side, Wang Xiao also began to feel a little unconfident, the things he felt were true or false, and he felt that telling Wang Xiao that this thing was very likely to be true, but reason told Wang Xiao that this matter was most likely an illusion.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Xiao decided to make a small video of this incident and publish it on the Internet, just to remind those who saw it to pay attention to this matter.

So, after eating, Wang Xiao found a social platform with relatively large traffic and started making videos.

Half an hour later, Wang Xiao finished the video, clicked publish, and rushed some money by the way to increase the exposure of the video.

After doing this, Wang Xiao turned off the computer and prepared to go to bed to lie down. When I passed by the table, I saw the bronze box, so I picked up the box and lay down on the bed and carefully looked at the pattern and line of the box.

Those patterns are like some Taoist talismans, and the lines on them are like the circuits of the circuit board, which is very magical, and has a feeling of a combination of metaphysics and science.

The previous brilliance also lit up from the pattern, and then flowed along the line to the whole body of the box, and the meaning of that audio was analyzed.
