Chapter Thirteen: The Key to the Future

"In fact, the danger is not just about rays."

The assistant professor smiled when he said this, but Luo An and the lieutenant didn't feel any relaxation or comfort.

The two listeners were stunned for a while, and the lieutenant first reacted: "You mean, there are other civilizations that exist outside of rays, voids and desolation, and are hostile to us?"

"No, no, no," the assistant professor waved repeatedly, "Looking at your eyes with poor scientific concepts, I know what you are thinking - an alien warrior carrying a small energy shield, using telepathy, sub-light speed assault, and swinging the light blades at close range, is too children's literature and too childish."

He suddenly lowered his voice, just like a wilderness traveler was afraid of disturbing the dormant beasts, and said something full of fear in a sensational tone next to the monitor that simulated the wormhole picture:

“We have observed some existences that do not belong to this world.

"There are distorted dimensions, a world with angular discontinuous world outside the linearly continuous space-time and space of human life and cognition. In other words, they are in different dimensions from humans and are subject to different laws.

"But if humans leave their world and go to the extremely distant other shore through tunnels across planes...you know that as long as the distance is far enough, time is a concept of space and we will enter their territory.

"The only one who is waiting ahead is dead.

"They never stop, they are the concrete of rules as old as the universe, the hunting dogs that hunt time travelers."

If it weren't for the doctorate, thesis and research history, Luo An would definitely think that the guy in front of him was telling a story of a monster. The assistant professor said, while walking towards the internal laboratory with two visitors.

There, they first saw an indescribable smoke floating in the energy field, and strange and evil living creatures were emerging and faint. Its glittering eyes and interlaced jaws were covered with green liquid-like substances, surging like black clouds. Its image continued to change as it moved, giving people extremely unreal vague messages.

"What kind of monster is this?" the lieutenant exclaimed.

"This energy construct is rx-77, the dangerous laboratory mimics I just mentioned, and we are studying the properties of their existence."

Luo An and the lieutenant listened to the assistant professor's explanation while watching the shaking substances in the energy field. Dizziness and noise appeared in the brain, making them extremely uncomfortable.

"Don't stare. Its structure changes every minute and every second, which will disrupt human vision. It is as uncomfortable as a small boat in a Category 5 hurricane. It is good to induce vomiting."

The assistant professor took the two of them away quickly. The three of them walked through one experimental cabin after another and the energy field. The strange and strange creatures restrained inside reminded Luo An of the scene of hell in "The Divine Comedy".

Finally, they stopped in front of an extremely solid facility and used cameras to watch the scene inside.

It was a large ball of flowing things, looking sticky, like a squid fish that was knocked over to the ground...

"What is this? Why do you look like a bad black dafu? Is it a soft mud monster?"

"Hey! You are so rude!" the assistant professor shouted, "This is the prosecutor's wife of the base, the light of human civilization, and the sister of the wife who will be assigned in the future!"

Luo An looked at the screen for a while, and suddenly, he felt the biomass move and unfold the chunk-like organizational structure.

The clumpy tissue looks like a large piece of human flesh no matter how you look... light brown or dark colors and textures, stick to the wrinkles of bones and muscles, and even pores similar to the eyes and other organs. There are huge cracks that do not bleed on the tissue, and parts similar to the intestines and internal organs can even be seen through this opening.

This body trembled slightly and undulated and breathed rhythmically.

"Please allow me to introduce the highest achievement of ergonomics - the biological processor lady in the boudoir. To be honest, she comes from reverse engineering, and we have not yet understood the basic theories that support her existence and evolution. She should not be classified as biological, but she cannot find a more suitable classification for the time being," the assistant professor said excitedly, "The leap experiment just now thanks to her computing power support."

The creatures in the experimental cabin spread countless tentacles, each of which was squirming, and on the screen looked like a hibernating snake nest. When everyone stared at it, hundreds of eyes suddenly opened on the dense tentacles, staring at the observation camera without blinking.

It flowed, curled, and its silent action stirred up storm in the hearts of the three observers.

It is like a monster from ancient and mysterious, terrifying and indescribable. Countless eyes emitted green light on the pus-covered touch limbs, and decomposed and condensed as the limbs peristalsis. Every cell in the amorphous body seems to have a living consciousness, rolling and bubbles, reorganizing and forming in an instant, simulated and generated various forms and organs.

It stared at the observation camera, and several tentacles woven together slowly rose, simulating a twisted head shape. It stood up like a human, and the tentacles flowing like asphalt were draped behind it like a girl's long hair hanging to her ankle.

However, there was no beauty in this scene at all. The lieutenant who witnessed this scene exclaimed, jumped back quickly and pulled out the weapon at his waist. His body was slightly down like a beast ready to go. The assistant professor who worked here was also startled by his reaction.

"It's looking at us? Why is it staring at the camera? Can it sense that we're looking at it?" the lieutenant shouted, his hand on the trigger of the weapon and danced.

"Ah, this, this..." The assistant professor fell into a dullness like petrification.

Even the craziest dreams would not meet such a monster! Luo An did not retreat or move. His body trembled in horror, trying desperately to break free from the nightmare. However, in this thought of trying hard to deny, he was a little curious, with some expectation and yearning.

He squirmed his throat and made a trembling sound:

"Can it feel me? Do you want to simulate the form of a woman?"

"Her appearance is indeed hard to describe. We hope to beautify her a little, and she seems to understand the concept of beauty..." The assistant professor looked pale and sweating constantly. He looked at Luo An, who was braver than himself, and smiled awkwardly, "Putting aside this terrifying body, countless nightmarish eyes, um, and thousands of mouths you haven't seen. This is actually a detector we give high hopes to investigate distant dimensions."

"So, has a civilization buried deep in the dust and ice fields of history also come into contact with them in the long river of history? Where has this civilization gone?"

Luo An looked solemn. He took the card and looked at it, and found that it was a large-capacity military-level storage bank: "What do you want to do when you talk to me about this? What is this card?"

A smile immediately struck the corner of the lieutenant's mouth: "This is the key to the future.

"I need you to go to the world under the ice, and explore the truth again after a hundred years. The fleet and the coalition government organized the best expedition teams to provide the most budget and supplies, and the fully armed elite troops escorted you to it. I will go together."

"No, I refuse!" Luo An's attitude was very firm. "What does such a dangerous thing have to do with me? I am just a occultist. In our field, there is a saying that the more I know, the closer I get to madness."

"Strange~" the lieutenant raised his eyebrows.

"What's strange?"

"You all know that getting close to the truth means the danger of touch. Then shouldn't you escape far away from the beginning? Why did you become a fan? Admit it, my friend, you are eager to touch them in your heart. You are eager to understand the mystery you just witnessed."

“…”

I don't deny, yes, I don't deny that deep down I long to know the mystery... Luo An worked hard for the last time: "Why me? You are an intelligence officer, Dr. Lin Ke is an assistant professor, you are professionals and scholars, why do you still need ordinary people like me to participate in this work?"
