207. Past

How did this elusive little girl, who knew at a glance that she was not an "ordinary person", appear here, and the three old men did not intend to delve into it - they had already raised their vigilance now. The long-term experience has made it difficult for these old people, whether they are strangers or "acquaintances", to develop the emotion called "trust...... However, they are exceptions to each other.

Even the two people who used to quarrel fiercely were the same--if it weren't for each other's support and mutual assistance, I am afraid that they would have been able to exchange their lives from those who persecuted them on their own for so many years.

"We have no comment...... There is more than one life here, so if you want to take it, you can take it. ”

"Don't, if you want to die, just solve it yourself, don't drag me on. ”

Dealing with these stubborn people who have a misunderstanding of themselves at the same time, Lin is also familiar with the other party's unexpected answers. It doesn't matter if you're persistent, if you don't give up, or if you're angry...... As long as she shows that she is too obsessed, Lin knows that it is impossible for the other party to take the initiative to accept herself.

Even if there is indeed a compassionate and compassionate salvation feeling here, it will leave traces of doubt in the hearts of the other party. These three old men have obviously experienced the painful experience of all kinds of deception, and just by looking at the past, you can understand how deeply they are guarded against strangers. If Lin appeared as a "good person" in the traditional sense, the first time she would gain only the suspicion of the other party.

They don't look like evil people with excessive ambitions, presumably they were deceived or coerced at that time. Those invisible light research materials will fall into the hands of people with unscrupulous minds, right?

That's why they are so wary and hostile to themselves. Lynn was no surprise.

"I don't need anything else, I just need to understand. What is that 'stone statue'? As for which 'stone statue' I'm talking about, I don't need to describe it, right?

"Do you want to claim its power, too? Dream, that power is not at all the ...... that humans should touch."

"You just have to tell me what it is—you don't need to tell me that it's broken into pieces, you don't need to tell me where they are, you don't have to explain to me what it can do...... Do you have any ears? I think I should have made it clear. ”

“...... What do you want to ask this for?"

It was probably the first time I had encountered such a strange visitor, and the expressions of the old people were very strange. They couldn't figure out what Lynn meant, because Lynn didn't show any ambition or **, but on the other hand. Lin's attitude made them feel a hint of danger - they had seen more people, and they could naturally tell that the color in the eyes of this famous girl clearly revealed angry emotions.

Do you want revenge? or ......

"Go get rid of a nuisance. ”

Lynn pointed to the northwest, where the now-mad monster had landed.

"I don't need to explain what that thing is, do you? Hurry up, there's not much time left for us to stop that guy in time. Soon the city of Sydney will be completely reduced to history. And I know that guy is 'looking for' something, and if it succeeds, the consequences will not be a national nightmare for Australia. ”

Lin unabashedly showed a murderous aura to the three old men present: "I don't have time to play boring temptation games with you right now. If you're not willing to cooperate, I'm going to go straight to the soul search - I'm counting down tens of seconds, beyond that. You don't need to talk anymore. ”

There's not the slightest bit of bravado.

Regardless of the reason for these three old men. Only then did those deadly precious materials be passed on to the hands of those who now control these resources. But for the tragedy caused, they also have to bear a certain amount of responsibility. If she kills them, Lin will certainly feel sad, but she will definitely not regret it...... For their guilt, even if they take their lives as punishment, it is not excessive.

"Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven......"

“...... We are willing to cooperate. ”

Lin's attitude was too resolute, leaving no room for reversal, and there was an extremely stern aura between her words—considering the severity of the current situation on the other side of the sea, Lin's blunt and cold attitude was unexpectedly convincing.

"I've been deceived so many times, look at people...... The three of us have a little bit of a lesson - girl, you're not a bad person, are you?"

"What if I answer, 'I am'?"

"Then we'll think you're choking us on purpose. ”

If these old men really spent their whole lives in deception, then this time, they were indeed not deceived again. Lin wanted to laugh, but the role she was playing now forced Lin to hold back her smile and continue to face the three old men in a cold tone.

"To cut a long story short - the 'stone statue' you want to know about was found by the three of us decades ago on a volcanic island in the South Pacific...... When we were conducting geological exploration and research in that area, one day we found that a new volcanic island had been 'squeezed' out of the sea due to the movement of the seabed. After we went forward to explore, we unexpectedly found some remnants of the building. ”

Volcanic islands, architectural remains, ...... from the bottom of the sea Rising?

"Atlantis?"

Lynn couldn't help but think of this ancient legend...... However, the legendary Atlantis is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and even if it really exists, it should have nothing to do with these situations in the Pacific Ocean, right?

"yes, we thought of the legend at the time. Although the location is 108,000 miles away from the legendary Atlantis, it is an example worth considering - we thought that the ruins of this volcanic island were probably the same as the legendary Atlantis, a vanishing civilization that had survived in the ancient past but was eventually sunk into the ocean. ”

So, that "stone statue". Is it related to the so-called "vanishing civilization"? But this world should not exist with those "strange forces and gods". Although Lin hadn't seen that "stone statue" with her own eyes, it certainly wouldn't be something "full of science".

Unless it's that "civilization". Inherently problematic......

"Has that civilization been researched to be similar to the civilization in that area today?"

"Our professional aspect back then was not history...... Actually, we were going to report these discoveries, but when we left the volcanic island, it sank into the water in front of us as if sensing us leaving, and never to be found again. ”

"The 'stone statues' you found were found in those ancient ruins?"

"It's hard to imagine. Among the ancient buildings that have been eroded by the sea, there are stone statues that are so well preserved that there are hardly any erosion missing. We just thought it was strange at the time and wanted to take it back to study it - but then it came to the conclusion that the statue was probably linked to some 'switch' mechanism...... Because at that time, many of the on-site signs were too strange and weird, so we didn't report the discovery in the end. Instead, he began to study the mysterious 'stone statue' himself......"

"During that time, it was like being obsessed, and I couldn't stop at all...... In retrospect, we only feel inexplicable fear -- probably. It's like the legendary Pandora's box, and we must have been affected by it at that time. The undeserved greed and ** were all exposed. ”

Another old man remembered what had happened back then. He also shook his head and sighed - probably, before they got rid of that fanaticism. The condition of these three old men will not be much better than those crazy people now, right?

The era they lived in was a relatively special era, and scientific research had been greatly impacted, not to mention this kind of undisguised thing involving "cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods...... And considering the good and evil views of these three people, it is likely that they will begin to lose like these people now, and I am afraid that at that time, they also had the idea of living in reality. What's more, they should have carried out the actual "operation" a long time ago.

Considering the overall atmosphere of the Celestial Empire at that time, it was impossible to engage in this kind of research behind the scenes, and it was also difficult to find living people to do it...... Perhaps it was at that time that these three people established relationships with foreign forces. What can't be done in China, after getting out of that "cage", it is not a problem.

"That 'stone statue' undoubtedly has magical powers—the most incomprehensible thing is that around the 'stone statue', the laws of physics that have been confirmed to be correct, or basically correct, will be changed or even destroyed. I have seen with my own eyes that once when the light passes through the edge of the guò, it turns from a direct ray into a static 'blob'...... After testing, it was found that in this short moment, the beam of light even lost its wave-particle duality, and became an extremely ambiguous, unobservable and undefinable state!"

“......”

As it happens, Lynn knew that light could indeed take on the form of waves and particles.

[A motionless "ball of light"......? This has been transformed into a light element, which has been transformed from natural light to a light element with a certain consciousness without any transformation steps...... Even in another world, it's almost impossible to do. 】

Even the Holy Spirit wouldn't do that lightly!

One of the simple reasons is that before and after transformation, the energy is completely unequal. The energy level of the activated light element is much stronger than that of pure natural light, and it doesn't matter if the extra energy out of thin air is less, but if this phenomenon is spread on a large scale, it will cause a devastating blow to the world.

The Philosopher's Stone still has to meet the equivalent exchange, but this is completely a stone statue made out of nothing...... Could it be that the root cause of the destruction of that ancient civilization was the excessive use of the power of this stone statue, which resulted in a natural disaster?

Even if there is no need for the existence of any world consciousness, Lin can fully imagine that the indiscriminate use of this unreasonable "mysterious power" has caused irreparable damage to the balance of the surrounding natural environment, and as a result, earthquakes, tsunamis and other disasters have directly destroyed them overnight...... Because the source of this series of evil consequences is the intemperance of these ancient peoples.

"The most critical part of this part has not been passed on. I don't know what other research was done on the statue after it was taken away, but I think that the ability to completely change the laws of physics should not have been noticed by others. ”

"No, it's still been discovered. ”

Lynn pointed to the northwest again.

"That guy...... It was because of an accident...... Oh, the accident of the god Nima...... The monster that was born must have noticed this - and now I understand why it was so desperate to get its hands on this 'stone statue'. ”

Even if it can rely on its own powerful resentment to fight against the laws of physics that lack the support of the will of the world, it is not a matter after all, but if there is something that can "legitimize" one's own existence, even above the laws of this world...... So how could it not be tempted?

"Did it attack Sydney because the stone statue was over there?"

"Not all, it's only a part of Sydney. ”

That "stone statue" ...... It's been destroyed, and it's been carved up by various forces?

"Because of a wrong ...... No, maybe it's the 'right' real yàn, and the stone statue was damaged and broken into several parts, which led to a terrible dispute. I don't know exactly what the final result was, but what is certain is that most of the stone remains were transferred to Australia and placed at the Sydney Opera House. ”

"Why put it there?"

"The statue was found in the South Pacific, and I don't know exactly what kind of research has been carried out on it because I have been under house arrest for a while, but I heard that it is to echo the ancient ruins that may have been stored at the bottom of the sea. Sydney is the most prosperous city in Australia, and the Sydney Opera House is the symbol of the city, and the 'popularity' gathered there is the strongest in the South Pacific. After all, the statue is damaged, and a lot of research cannot be carried out, and it is normal to covet the 'origin' of the stone statue. ”

"Popularity...... The center of convergence?"

Lynn's originally heavy mood suddenly improved a lot - perhaps, there is still hope for a city like Sydney. (To be continued......)
