Chapter 460: Dark Light
"Dean. ”
Jiang Chanji and the others had just left the conference room when a teacher entered through the side door of the conference room.
The head of the academy just finished talking to Jiang Chanji because he received a reminder from the assistant that he knew that something had to be reported to her, and the urgency was medium.
"What's wrong?" asked the dean.
"New geomagnetic disturbance alert. ”
A screen slowly rose on the conference table in front of the dean, and as the dean raised his eyebrows in shock, the assistant added, "Not us, it's somewhere else." ”
The head of the academy breathed a sigh of relief, knocked on the table and said, "I'm scared to death, can you not gasp next time?"
"Sorry......"
The assistant was also quite helpless, she obviously reminded that it was a matter of medium urgency, if it was an alarm in a nearby area, she would have already issued an alarm of the highest urgency, and it stands to reason that the head of the academy should understand.
The head of the academy has been too tired for the past two days, running around and working hard, both physically and mentally, so he has such an overreaction.
However, even if the alerts appear in other regions, if not false alarms, the frequency is a bit too high, there has been a record of two "channels" in two days in different regions before, but there were two in one day yesterday, plus this, it is equivalent to three in two days in the whole world.
"Where is it?" asked the Headmaster, rubbing his temples.
"Middle Eastern deserts. ”
The screen in front of him shows a picture of red, red, green, blue, blue, yellow, yellow, and pink, which is too obscure for ordinary people to understand the geomagnetic disturbance image, and it is a dynamic image, and the computer automatically superimposes the electronic map with the geomagnetic image, and the picture is fixed in the vast area of West Asia and North Africa.
Generally speaking, the geomagnetic intensity of an area does not change drastically in a short period of time, except under the influence of volcanic seismic activity, and this part of the Middle East is not part of the active zone of volcanoes and earthquakes, and there are few high-intensity geomagnetic disturbances - of course, there are occasional exceptions, and there are no "channels" or earthquakes in a certain area, but the magnetic field is still violently disturbed, which can only be speculated to be a lava diversion that occurred deep in the stratum, or other natural phenomena that are not yet known to humans.
The Head of House noticed that there was a spot in the area where the color was changing rapidly over time, from yellow to pink to red, and that process was completed in just half an hour.
The Middle East region does not belong to the power vacuum, and the Red Leaf Academy does not have a teacher stationed there, and the local forces do not like the interference of forces in other regions, so the head of the academy does not need to do anything, just wait and see what happens, unless the local forces can't control it, but that situation is unlikely to happen.
The original image on the screen was erased and replaced with a photo that had just been transmitted by a satellite, no longer an obscure geomagnetic image, but a high-resolution photo from a reconnaissance satellite, accurate to the decimeter level.
It's already morning here, and it's the darkest hour before dawn on the other side, the sky in the desert area is rarely cloudy, and satellites can get unobstructed to capture the ground, with rolling sand dunes taking up 99% of the photos.
The assistant pointed to a certain location with the tip of his pen, and could see that the color of the sand dunes there seemed to be a little lighter than the other places, and a spherical outline could be faintly seen, but if it wasn't for the assistant pointing out, it would be too difficult to find this anomaly on this map, and it would have blinded the eyes.
That is, the desert, and in other areas, it is difficult to capture the correct image from the air when the "passage" appears.
The most conspicuous thing in this photo is not the "passage", but a rectangular object in the lower right corner, which is an off-road vehicle that appears to be driving towards the "passage".
......
There was no moon, and the stars in the night sky were so clear and bright that they seemed to be within reach.
The man with two bushy mustaches drove the SUV with a gloomy expression, and the vehicle shuttled between the sand dunes, and a long earth dragon raised behind the car.
He was about thirty years old, in the prime of life, and he drove very aggressively, sometimes slamming the steering wheel, sometimes changing gears quickly, and his eyes were fixed on the front.
In the co-pilot's seat, sat a woman wrapped from head to toe in a black robe, with only her eyes exposed. Judging by the wrinkled eyes around her, she should be very young, but there was a dead silence in her eyes that was not appropriate for her age, like a pool of stagnant water in the desert that was about to dry up.
She sat motionless with her seatbelt on, and no matter how the off-road vehicle rose and fell, her eyes did not change.
The two of them moved and stood still, giving people a very strange feeling.
The man had lost contact with the outside world, whether it was a satellite phone or walkie-talkie, there was only a rustling static noise, the navigator was also out of order, only a paper map to guide him, and a certain location on the map was circled, that is, the target.
The man who stuffed him into the car told him not to turn a corner, just drive in a straight line in this direction, and he would not miss the target.
The buggy leaped high from the top of a sand dune, and in an instant, he saw something in the darkness ahead.
It was a translucent sphere, and the unique whirlwind of the desert swirled around it, and from time to time bright arcs burst out of the sand rolled up by the whirlwind.
Is that the Devil's Gate?
His scalp was tingling, and before he could take a look, the buggy landed heavily on the slope on the other side of the dune, jolting a few times.
"Hey, do you know what you're going to do?" he said to the woman in the passenger seat for the first time, in a very rude tone.
The woman nodded silently.
"Well, you'd better not back down, or the gods will punish you!" said the man, grimly.
The woman shook her head.
She didn't mean to back down at all, but there was a fierce ideological struggle going on in his heart.
He was still young and didn't want to hang up so early, although he had long understood that this was his inevitable fate, otherwise he would not have enjoyed that heavenly time.
During those wonderful times, he and several other men of similar age were placed on a manor house in the desert, where everything that would please young men, young girls from different regions, different skin colors, and several times their size, were left to do whatever they wanted, and there were often new girls marinated in it, and the cuisine from various countries was not the same every day, and they could eat as much as they wanted, even the spirits that were forbidden by doctrine were openly served...... In this manor, even if you stay for a hundred years, you will not feel bored.
Of course, there is a price to enjoy such a life, and when they are needed, they have to carry out the task of going and going without hesitation.
Today during the day, he was still playing a happy multi-person exercise with a few girls, and at night he was pulled out of bed, and a basin of cold water was poured on his head to sober him up, telling him that his time had come, and then he was stuffed into this car, and the black-robed woman was already sitting in the passenger seat.
His task is very simple, it is just to act as a driver, take the black-robed woman to the designated place, and then ...... There is no then.
The fuel gauge of the off-road vehicle turned red and gave a beep warning sound.
The car was only loaded with fuel for one trip, and even if he regretted trying to run away at the last minute, he would not be able to run, and would only die of thirst in the desert, provided that nothing else killed him......
He had a gun pinned to his waist, and if the black-robed woman refused to carry out her mission, he had the right to shoot her on the spot.
Therefore, the black-robed woman should understand that she can't live at all, and in this case, it is better to die vigorously and dedicate her life to God.
The black-robed woman understood, and had already prepared for such an awareness, in comparison, his consciousness was not so firm, but he had no other choice.
He had heard that there was a so-called "Demon Gate" in front of him, and that demons and monsters from hell would pour out of the door, and that his and her sacred mission was to keep these demons and monsters at bay.
It was just him and her.
"Ahem!"
I don't know if it was due to nervousness or inhaling sand, the man felt an itch in his throat and coughed violently a few times.
The black-robed woman's eyes changed slightly, and she glanced at him quickly, as if she was looking at a dead person.
The man did not know that at this time, his body was being exposed to a lethal dose of radiation, and the cells in his body were either dying or becoming cancerous, and this process was irreversible, and no matter how strong his medical ability was, he could only die a little more comfortably.
The source of radiation came from the black-robed woman's body.
The electronics in the off-road vehicle are not out of order due to magnetic field interference, but because of strong radiation.
She was much more tolerant of radiation than the average person, and in the days before, she had been constantly receiving low to medium doses of radiation to improve her body's storage and tolerance, and before leaving tonight, she had received a one-time dose that would have been excessive even for her.
Under this loose black robe, her body is extremely ugly, because her body is almost full of cancer cells, and only these crazy self-replicating cancer cells can withstand the strong radiation.
If you lift her black robe, you will see that under her ugly skin, light will shine from time to time, and it will appear and disappear, it is plutonium-240 undergoing spontaneous fission, but the light is perfectly concealed by her black robe from head to toe.
He and she were destined to never be able to leave this desert again.
The buggy rushed up to a sand dune again, and there were no other sand dunes on the back of the dune for the time being, it was a relatively flat sand field, and the translucent sphere was quietly half suspended on the surface of the sand.
The last drop of oil from the tank shot into the engine, and the SUV's engine twitched and came to a slow, tasteless stop, just like the end of his multiplayer sports during the day.
"Get out of the car!"
It was only two or three hundred meters away from the Demon Gate, and the man coughed violently again, pushed the door and got out of the car with the black-robed woman, and walked to the translucent sphere in the sand.
The man felt hot and ripped his clothes open, exposing his chest.
He pulled out his gun and held it in his hand, not to threaten the black-robed woman, but to look nervously around, looking for the legendary demon and monster.
The air in the desert was very clear, he didn't turn off the high beams when he got out of the car, the snowy lights shone far from behind him, and as far as the eye could see, he didn't see the demons and monsters he imagined, not even an animal, but the shadows of him and her were stretched long, and they looked very weird.
When he walked less than a hundred meters away from the Demon Gate, his body became more and more uncomfortable, it was the kind of discomfort that could not be described at all, as if he was having a high fever, his strength was passing rapidly, and everything he saw in front of him was ghosting, and he could only move forward mechanically, and his arm holding the gun also hung down.
The mouth is so dry that it's almost smoking, is it because I drank too much alcohol during the day? I should have taken two bottles of mineral water from the car when I got out of the car just now.
Walking to a position about fifty meters away from the Demon Gate, he mixed garlic under his feet, and fell into the sand with a pop.
He tried to stand up with his body propped up, but his weak arms couldn't do it.
"Water...... Go back to the car and get me water......" He was indeed in a high fever, and gave orders to the black-robed woman in a daze.
He thought that there was a gun in his hand, and the black-robed woman did not dare not listen.
Instead of turning and walking back, the black-robed woman walked up to him, crouched down and picked up the gun with two fingers, tossed it far aside, then bent down and grabbed him by the collar and dragged him in front of the Demon Gate.
In this position, the man who was dragged on the ground struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and he finally noticed that some kind of light was looming from under the skirt of the black robe as her footsteps alternated and retreated.
What the heck?
She put a light bulb in her black robe?
The man had no strength left, his tonsils were so swollen that he couldn't even say a word, and even his breathing was blocked.
A long trail of drag winds its way across the sand.
The black-robed woman dragged the man very close to the demon's gate before stopping, and by this time the man's thinner skin had begun to fester.
At his side, she used her hands to dig a shallow pit in the sand, close to her size, and then she lay down in it, covering her body with the sand except for her nose and mouth, and waited quietly.
The man's mind began to be confused, and his godless eyes stared at the devil's gate, and a strange thought suddenly popped into his mind - maybe this is not the devil's gate, but the gate of heaven, he can enter heaven after completing this task, and there will be ninety-nine pure and immaculate beautiful maidens waiting for him in heaven, not those bewitching sluts in the manor.
Suddenly, a large black shadow appeared from the sphere, but the cancer cells were multiplying wildly in his eyeballs, and he couldn't see what it was.
The black-robed woman saw that after the black shadow hesitated for a moment, she began to tentatively gnaw on the man's flesh and blood.
It's time.
The light in her body suddenly became extremely strong, and even the black robe and floating sand could not hide it.
About half an hour before sunrise, the pre-dawn desert was suddenly illuminated by a round of sun.
......
In the conference room of Momiji Academy, the monitor was slowly retracted under the table.
The head of the house stared at the last picture on the monitor and sighed, "It's over." ”
Stealing incense
