376 Skeleton
◎A huge skeleton under my feet◎
The brushstrokes are very sharp, as if someone once knelt here with a knife and painted it bit by bit, which reminds people of Liu Yu's painting style.
Her paintings are full of lines and also include bird elements. To an outsider, they appear to be of the same origin.
Liu Yu's paintings emerged in Zhu Ning's mind, and nineteen paintings flashed by one after another. This seemed to be Liu Yu's last work, engraved under the basking shark.
Is this a bird, or a kite?
Zhu Ning suddenly thought of Lu Yuan. Her name directly means a bird on land. If you add some qualifications, it can be understood as a bird trapped on land.
When Zhu Ning first heard the name, he didn't think much of it. Pei Shu also thought of it and asked, "Is it Liu Yu?"
This mark was obviously carved by someone later, and the only person who can be thought of is Liu Yu.
Was Lu Yuan named after this symbol? Or did this symbol come first and then Lu Yuan?
Pei Shu felt that his thoughts were in a mess, and the more information he learned, the more confused he became.
Lin Xiaofeng asked: "Can you tell what era it is?"
Pei Shu shook his head: "I'm not an archaeologist."
This should be left to professionals. There is a special ability that can restore history, and what happened in the past will be played like a movie, but unfortunately he does not have it.
If we knew the exact date, all this would be easy to explain.
The contaminated spores are still spreading, and new spores are gradually emerging. Without human intervention, it will soon be submerged again.
Zhu Ning suddenly asked, "Do you remember Liu Yu's album?"
Pei Shu certainly remembered. He knew Zhu Ning only brought it up to help everyone think about it, so he continued, "There's a map of Utopia inside."
"Yes, there is a map," Zhu Ning said. "There are other things as well. Let's not discuss the parts we don't understand for now, and only discuss what we have verified. Although Utopia doesn't exist, the map is real, and we successfully reached Utopia according to the map."
Zhu Ning: "The album was left for Lu Yuan. Why?"
Lin Xiaofeng: "Let her go to Utopia?"
"Yes," Zhu Ning said, "We have reached a consensus on this point."
This was what they had always guessed. Liu Yu, who had lost his freedom, hid the album in Liao Xianglin's house, and Lu Yuan would get it at a specific time. In the end, she succeeded.
Bai Cheng looked at the map and said, "So we should guess Liu Yu's true purpose."
"We speculated on this several times," Zhu Ning said. "The first time, I thought Liu Yu died from the pain of childbirth. She didn't want her daughter to follow in her footsteps, so she hoped she would walk out of the North Wall."
Zhu Ning thought about this matter in order, starting from the information obtained from the album, "The second time, I thought Utopia was another federation. That's where Liu Yu came from. She hoped Lu Yuan would return home."
"After arriving at Utopia, we discovered that Utopia is a basking shark that functions as a womb and can give birth to female offspring of people with superpowers. Our speculation was overturned again." Zhu Ning pointed upwards, as if pointing at the huge basking shark.
So it was natural for them to think that Liu Yu's purpose of having Lu Yuan arrive in Utopia was "re-transformation" and that she might need to be conceived again.
Pei Shu immediately said, "But there's a question about this matter. Is Lu Yuan really the descendant of a person with superpowers?"
Xiaobao can transform because his mother Zhou Haiqing and father Hong Yong are both people with superpowers.
As for Lu Yuan, her parents are simply a mystery. There is not a single key clue and all information has been erased.
Liu Yu is most likely a person with superpowers, but who is her father?
Her father is extremely mysterious. Pei Shu has not received any news about him in the Lu family for so many years, let alone meeting the head of the family. He still doesn't know the name of the head of the Lu family.
This person is completely invisible, not even basic information appears.
What kind of creature gave birth to Lu Yuan? Was her father a purebred human? In the Federation's decades-long large-scale biological experiments, what generation does Lu Yuan belong to?
Judging from the posture of the Kingdom of God, Lu Yuan should be perfect and mature.
Their plan may have reached an advanced stage, otherwise they would not have taken such a radical action.
Zhu Ning: "Yes, we are not sure whether she meets the conditions for pregnancy. I tend to think not."
Lu Yuan is perfect from every angle, with a beautiful appearance and stable supernatural powers.
Bai Cheng: "So if Lu Yuan arrived in Utopia, he wouldn't be transformed like us. If he had intelligence in advance, he might have arrived here."
It was not easy for them to come down, but it was not difficult either. If Lu Yuan had powerful water-based abilities, it might not be impossible for him to do it.
Zhu Ning looked around. The contaminated spores had grown again and were about to produce another batch. The flying bird carved below was looming.
Zhu Ning: "At this point, my guess has to be overturned and advanced. Perhaps Liu Yu's fundamental purpose is not to allow Lu Yuan to "re-conceive". She is already a perfect product. She may be hoping that Lu Yuan will reach this point."
That is where Zhu Ning is standing now. She wants Lu Yuan to see the bird painted on the land.
So many people like Chen Qihang died, and they set foot in Utopia countless times, and their purpose was also here.
It seems that Zhu Ning and his group were not the first to arrive. Someone had been here before and carved a pattern.
Pei Shu shook his head: "But what's the purpose?"
The most crucial question is, have we arrived here? What happens next? There is only one graph here.
Zhu Ning was silent for a moment. The black mucus on her body had not yet been completely absorbed. She said, "Maybe we need to look for it. This is a gift from a mother to her daughter."
Zhu Ning recalled Zhu Yao in his memory and drew a treasure map, asking her to dig for treasure on the beach and find her eighth birthday present.
Zhu Ning still remembers what the gift was, a latest model of Lego. It was not a valuable item in itself, but Zhu Ning was very happy in the process of looking for the gift.
The image of Liu Yu in her mind seemed to become clearer and clearer. Some of her speculations were very contradictory, but she actually formed a contradictory person.
Liu Yu has walked outside the wall, she has taken the Homecoming Train, she has reached utopia, and she has gone underground.
She walked freely outside the wall like an experienced explorer. Although it is not known whether she left the wall before or after giving birth, Liu Yu finally returned to the wall.
She didn't know why she returned to the kingdom of God and continued to carry out her mission.
Zhu Ning remembered that Lu Yuan once told her that Liu Yu tried to take her out of the north wall. Liu Yu was probably very weak at that time, otherwise she would not have been brought back so easily by the Lu family.
Now she is guiding Lu Yuan step by step. What does she want to do?
Zhu Ning: "Liu Yu is trapped."
The later years of Liu Yu's life showed great pain, as if she was torn apart by her own mission. The Kingdom of God must have some means of controlling her.
Correspondingly, Liu Yu will definitely leave her daughter some capital to save her life and prevent her from having to retreat.
Zhu Ning was not able to move around easily, so the exploration had to be handed over to others. Pei Shu and Lin Xiaofeng groped along the carving inch by inch. There was no crack in the door and no switch, and they did not find any valuable clues after two searches.
They looked into the distance. This place was still very spacious, and many places had not been explored. There seemed to be other things in the distance.
Could it be somewhere else, not here? Pei Shu hesitated whether to continue exploring further.
"Listen." Bai Cheng said suddenly.
Instead of studying the shape, she lay on the ground. The "ground" was sticky and felt like some kind of creature.
Lin Xiaofeng imitated Bai Cheng's posture, and after she lay down, she heard... the waves.
She had heard the sound of the waves a long time ago, especially after it came down, but this time it was extremely clear and louder than ever before. The waves were crashing into her eardrums one after another.
It seems that with this as the boundary, the sea opens up below when it turns upside down.
Zhu Ning was not very comfortable and asked, "What is it?"
Lin Xiaofeng was fascinated by what he heard and whispered, "The sea."
As a person inside the wall, Lin Xiaofeng had only seen the aquarium and had never seen the real ocean.
Zhu Ning: "If it was Lu Yuan who came, she might have already deciphered it."
This is also a safe, and Lu Yuan's water-based abilities can be maximized here.
Zhu Ning mistakenly entered Utopia and also mistakenly entered this area. The real owner here is Lu Yuan.
There is a misalignment between Zhu Ning and Lu Yuan's lives, which reminds Zhu Ning of a movie he had seen before. The protagonist thought he was the one who saved the world, but later found out that he was just a supporting role and died quietly in the end.
Lin Xiaofeng: "So we can't open it? And we don't get anything?"
Just like that time on the Homecoming Train, they were so close to the secret, but they just couldn't get it.
Lin Xiaofeng suddenly felt that their team was like professional treasure map makers. They were supporting characters in the adventure story. The protagonist's treasure map was drawn by them. They only knew where the treasure chest was, but could not open it.
It's really depressing.
Zhu Ning: "Not necessarily, because Chen Qihang and the others also want to come in. They definitely won't risk their lives to enter a place that is destined to yield nothing."
Lin Xiaofeng's eyes lit up, and Zhu Ning noticed that the remaining three eyes were looking at him, and seemed to want to open his notebook.
Zhu Ning: "I won't open it. If I open it, I'll die."
Lin Xiaofeng was a little disappointed and asked, "Where should we go next? Are there any signs?"
Zhu Ning asked, "Which direction are the contaminated spores flowing?"
Pei Shu pointed to the left. "Over there, all the contaminated spores float to a certain height and then seem to hit an invisible line, then turn clockwise to the left."
As they talked, the number of contaminated spores increased, and the area that Zhu Ning had devoured was dyed red again.
Zhu Ning observed it and found that Pei Shu was right. The contaminated spores here were indeed flowing to the left, like blood returning to the heart.
Zhu Ning said, "Just follow it."
Zhu Ning couldn't move. Pei Shu and Lin Xiaofeng followed orders. The flow direction of the contaminated spores was easy to identify. Pei Shu had drawn a map before. Bai Cheng didn't move, but waited beside Zhu Ning.
Zhu Ning asked, "What are you looking at?"
Bai Cheng: "There's blood behind you."
Zhu Ning had also used black mucus on the tadpole nevus. After absorbing the contaminated spores, there was a narrow crack on the back of his neck. Bai Cheng had always thought that Zhu Ning had healed, but now it seems to be even worse.
The wound extended from the back of the neck downwards, and was about five millimeters wide. Blood beads were oozing out from the surrounding area, like a split wound, extending along the spine deep into the protective suit.
Lin Xiaofeng and the others walked away, and Bai Cheng asked softly, "Where are we?"
Zhu Ning: "The tail vertebrae."
It was as if Zhu Ning had been forcibly split in half, his spine as the dividing line. Bai Cheng asked, "You're not going to tell me?"
Zhu Ning: "That's not necessary."
This could be a sign that her body is about to fail, or it could be the price to pay for devouring.
It is more likely that it was a disadvantage of the specific settings when Zhu Yao invented her, and she started to go downhill after reaching a certain point.
If one simply considers purifying the world as a mission, she has now completed one-fifth of it.
Zhu Ning blinked and asked, "You're not going to tell on me, are you?"
Bai Cheng: “…”
This was a bit complicated for her as a new student. She paused for a moment before she said stiffly, "No."
Lin Xiaofeng and Pei Shu walked in the contaminated spores. It felt very strange. Wherever their thighs touched, the contaminated spores avoided them like flying insects.
Lin Xiaofeng walked for a while and instinctively turned back to see where Zhu Ning was. She only saw a vague shadow. Bai Cheng was with Zhu Ning. Were they talking about some secret?
Lin Xiaofeng's footsteps suddenly froze, and he wanted to retreat immediately, but Pei Shu in front of him said, "There's a way out."
Lin Xiaofeng continued to follow Pei Shu's footsteps. Just as he said, two roads suddenly appeared on the left and right. The roads were extremely wide and of almost the same width. Because they were too small, they could not see the whole picture.
Lin Xiaofeng asked: "Which way?"
There is one main road and two branching roads on both sides, a total of three roads.
Pei Shu: "Let's continue to look forward."
Lin Xiaofeng had no choice but to continue walking with him. She could no longer see where Zhu Ning was. After half an hour, they found two forked roads again.
Pei Shu had already outlined the pattern in his mind, but it still needed to be verified. He unconsciously quickened his pace, and Lin Xiaofeng followed him laboriously.
Half an hour later, the third fork in the road appeared before our eyes.
Pei Shu did not move forward, and he did not doubt whether it was a ghost wall. His guess was confirmed.
The world is a giantess. They have seen blood vessels, brains, and uteruses, and now they are standing on a huge skeleton. The spine is the main road, and the branches on both sides are ribs.
If the contaminated spores are regarded as blood, then this is the bone marrow responsible for hematopoiesis?
