Chapter 305 Amber Man(1/2)
Before we came down, Chen Qinghan had explained to Wang Le, asking him to pay attention to Xiaohong, not to attack it suddenly, and not to do extra actions, just observe it carefully.
I feel at ease to leave it on the ground, because it is the act of actively saving people. When no one issues a rescue order, it actively analyzes the status quo to make a judgment on saving people and takes action, indicating that it has this procedure.
Machines made for the purpose of killing generally do not have the function of saving people, such as igneous eyes.
But medical robots may also have self-protection programs, so I stopped Mike. We should be cautious about high-tech products that do not have instructions.
Chen Qinghan's attitude was already very obvious. He did not say anything about Xiaohong's identity, and did not mention that Xiaohong was suspected when confirming the ownership of the footprints. He did not want Mike to know too much.
Of course, it may also be that he was afraid that Mike would be impulsive and acted excessively. Mike entered this death area again, with obvious emotions and colors. It was fine when he didn't come in, but after entering this area, he was obviously a little impatient.
So Chen Qinghan may be afraid of irritating him, so it is best to confirm that there is nothing wrong. If there is any problem, tell him the truth.
Mike frowned and thought, probably still thinking about the "invisible power", so he didn't see Chen Qinghan and I browsing.
He heard that the zombies had come in, but he didn't show much surprise. The female zombie suddenly disappeared into the water with Dr. Du. I was wondering. Now that I think about it, she must have returned to this passage first.
The female corpse knows this passage and the stone chamber, and knows it after death. Could it be that there is really a force here that is manipulating the living zombies?
Maybe not only the zombies, but also the scorpion and...Mike?
Chen Qinghan pulled me at this time: "Tell me again about the process of Xiaohong waking up."
I recalled the scene and said it again.
"Are you sure it has enough time to lie back after touching you and not make any noise?" Chen Qinghan asked.
"This... is not sure." I also thought about this question. Xiaohong's behaviors are like normal people. He needs to walk to move his position. He does not use light skills or teleportation ability. At that time, I turned back very quickly, less than a second, and it actually has little chance of teleporting back into the stone box.
But there were only two of us in the stone chamber, and there was no one else, and his hair changed position again, and I had no other object of doubt except it.
Looking back now, there is a detail that doesn’t match. The thing that secretly held my hand feels different from Xiaohong’s simulated skin.
Mike knows a little Chinese, but as long as the sentences we say are long and fast, he will not understand and need translation.
I talked with Chen Qinghan for a long time, but I didn't translate it for him. He raised his eyebrows and looked at us, gestured, as if he was saying that he was still there, don't ignore him.
Chen Qinghan translated to him that he suspected that the invisible power here had contacted me, and was in the stone chamber.
Mike looked at me and asked, "Did you feel it?"
"It's not a feeling, it pulled me and had a real touch." I don't speak foreign languages often, and although the tone is weird, Mike can understand it.
"Is it... physical? That's great, as long as it's a tangible thing, the bullet can deal with it."
Mike's words were too confident. I scratched my face and thought to myself that the bullet was useless to me. No matter how we say it, it can be considered a tangible thing!
Mike was full of confidence and his pace was a little steady. He was round and cornering, and we walked through the long passage and came to another stone chamber.
This stone room should be considered a hall, just like the hospital outpatient hall.
When Mike saw the things in the hall, he was stunned for three seconds. He wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say.
He said "yes" twice without saying anything, and I stopped looking at him and turned my gaze toward the things in the hall.
There were piece of translucent stones placed in the hall. After seeing this, Chen Qinghan said that these were amber.
Amber is cut into long strips, and each piece of amber is wrapped with a person, both men, women, young and old, and everyone has it.
The amber has been clearly cut and treated. The person inside is calm, as if he is asleep, and his posture is unified, and even the position of the package is completely consistent, which is unlikely to be formed naturally.
Someone puts them in amber when they are sleeping, which should be artificially made ‘human amber’.
When Mike saw these things, he believed even more that he believed that this was the 'cemetery' outside the ancient city or a public cemetery, and that their burial method was particularly expensive.
All the people in amber are naked and cannot tell whether they were poor or rich before they were born. However, unless this kind of thing is cheaper than wood in their eyes, they should be rich in their lifetime.
I probably counted and found that there was at least one hundred pieces of amber in this hall, and there was nothing else.
Chen Qinghan checked one by one, and Mike asked him what he was looking at. The bodies had been dead for a long time and were not wearing clothes. It was almost impossible to determine their identities or find written records.
Mike guessed that the entire building was a cemetery, and the sign must have fallen in the earthquake, and I don’t know which rock it was pressed under.
He said that in ancient times, there were ethnic groups who liked to use caves as graves, and a family was buried in the same cave. The residents of the ancient city might have similar customs.
During the earthquake, the cemetery in the rock cave fell into a crack underground and miraculously preserved.
Chen Qinghan did not express his opinion, probably did not agree with Mike's statement. It is true that there were many ways for ancient people to bury their grandchildren. A coffin is now priceless. Using amber as a coffin is still the most luxurious.
It is difficult to get so much amber, and putting people in is also a technical job. Anyway, after looking at it for a while, I couldn't find the seam on the whole piece of amber.
If it is purely natural... the production process will be too complicated and it will take time to wrap the body in resin and then make it into fossils. If there is no advanced counterfeiting process, how many years will it take?
"There is a door." I didn't look at the Amber man much, walked through the hall and came to the opposite side, and found that there was another door.
I pushed it twice, but it didn't push it away. I looked back at Chen Qinghan and Mike. They responded, looked at this side, and then lowered their heads to work hard.
My main focus is Mike. Seeing that he didn't pay attention to me, I secretly used the karma fire, burned a few small holes in the door, and then supported the door panel with both hands and pushed it out.
The door bar outside was broken, and thanks to the small holes, as soon as the door was pushed open, I saw two white bones scattered on the ground next to the door.
The clothes on the body should be armored, and there were two swords next to the bones, which were already rusted.
There was no gravel or other building wreckage around the bones. They didn't seem to have been smashed to death. The corridor outside the door was a little thick and gray, but it was actually quite clean. There were no extra weapons on the bones. Either they were poisoned to death, or they were starved to death and thirsty.
I looked at the corridor in front of me and learned a few bird calls.
The sound was very far away. If, as Mike said, this was the cemetery of the ancestors of the ancient city, why was the other end of the tomb connected to the Spring of Life?
We know that the Life Spring can soak out living zombies, put a bunch of dead people next to it, and connect them with channels. It is definitely not to post the edge of the "Feng Shui Treasure Land" and sell the cemetery at a high price.
Chen Qinghan checked all the amber blocks before coming over. I leaned against the door, bored and wanted to play with my phone.
"One body is missing," Chen Qinghan said, "There is no trace of violent destruction of the amber."
What he meant was that if it weren't for the empty amber coming in, it would be that the corpse inside would have run away.
There are no signs of violent destruction inside and outside. To put it bluntly, the way the disappearing corpse must have come out must be very bizarre.
Mike was scraping amber with a knife and wanted to bring some samples out. The task he came in was to collect information and collect samples.
But I didn't see it at all. He suddenly raised his gun and fired the bullet at a certain point, and there was nothing there.
He fired a string of bullets and then retreated to a piece of amber. Chen Qinghan asked him what was wrong, and he said someone had just happened.
He said that people are not things or animals, so what he sees should be the image of a human.
But Chen Qinghan and I didn't see anyone, and Mike quickly ran over to meet us.
Chen Qinghan asked him what kind of person he saw, and Mike said he was a teenage girl and suddenly laughed beside him.
Not only did he laugh, he also jumped up and rushed towards him. He then fired, but the bullet did not hit anyone and there was nothing.
Mike's face was very bad. He said he might have had hallucinations. The last time they came in, it was the hallucinations that began to appear on the return trip.
He believes that the impact of this place on the human brain will take some time to take effect, so along the way, no matter what we see, he did not doubt the truth or falsehood.
However, the appearance of the figure just now made Mike change his mind. He said that Dr. Du didn’t mention that this place is adjusting and evolving, and perhaps the power that makes people hallucinate is also upgrading, shortening the time for effective operation.
It’s hard for me and Chen Qinghan to say this, because last time Lilith and the others were affected by hallucinations, we were both immune.
Now Mike says he has hallucinations, and we can't say no. What if it really happens, it's just that we are immune again.
Just as he thought of this, Mike asked, "Did you see anything?"
Chen Qinghan shook his head, but I subconsciously lied: "Ah, I just saw a golden ingot running into the passage."
Mike was stunned for a moment and asked in a weird tone: "This thing, uh, gold, ingot, has it hurt you?"
"Isn't it the biggest harm when it leaves me?" I said with a bitter face.
Chen Qinghan immediately explained: "She is a money-lossing person. Losing gold is quite terrible for her, and that is a great fear in her heart."
Mike nodded, his expression was still a little confused. Perhaps as far as he knew, other people's hallucinations were all horrible. I haven't heard of anyone's hallucinations being a loss of money.
Since there was nothing to check in the hall, the three of us continued to move towards the deeper part of the newly discovered corridor.
I told them about two bones, as well as the horizontal bar on the door. This thing is not guarded against the inside or outside. If someone comes outside, you can take it off and go in, so it can only be to prevent people from coming out.
The living creature in the door was Xiaohong, and the "transparent person" who had not appeared once he entered.
Mike just took out a small notebook and wrote a few lines of words. It is probably what he said about "record". In case something happens to him, the person who comes in later can understand the internal situation from his records.
His small notebook has a layer of waterproof bag outside, so even if he dies in the water, he doesn't have to worry about the notebook being damaged.
This time I looked at the ground first. There were no extra footprints in the corridor we were walking on at this moment, which means that the zombies had never been here.
Maybe he couldn't open the door that was sealed from the outer door. After walking for about five minutes, Mike shuddered and picked up his gun and aimed it.
The space in the corridor is not spacious, and if he shoots here, it will be too easy to be injured by accident.
"What's wrong?" I asked immediately.
"She... ran over." Mike's face became increasingly ugly. "I heard her laughter, ran over from behind and ran in front."
Mike truthfully stated his 'illusion', but his tone sounded reluctant.
He must be very entangled. On the one hand, he must tell everything he felt truthfully, and on the other hand, he himself does not believe that it is true.
"Hey, maybe this is not your hallucination, she really exists." I suddenly thought of a possibility, "Remember to pull my invisible person through the stone chamber? If she can control who is visible to, just like a certain function of social software, she can only let you see her when it is invisible to us."
"Well, there is a possibility." Chen Qinghan agreed.
"Really?" Mike still didn't seem to believe it.
