Chapter 371 Burial or Murder
Su Nuan shone the light upwards and found that there was a relief of a gold ingot above the Dragon-Breaking Stone, and this relief was shining with a cold silver light.
"Could that be a switch? Press it to open the Dragon Breaking Stone?"
Hai Lan nodded. "It looks like it. So your guess is correct. People of that era were very intelligent."
Su Nuan took out a bow and arrow, wrapped the arrowhead and shot it. The arrowhead hit the ingot and the entire ingot was pressed into the stone wall.
There was a tremor in the cave, and the Dragon-Breaking Stone actually began to rise.
Hailan was also a little surprised. "What's the power to move such a big stone?"
Su Nuan had no idea that the best way to save face at this time was to remain silent.
The Space Spirit said, "I don't know either, but does it matter? Why do we have to find out?"
The Dragon-Breaking Stone slowly rose, and the slope began to collapse, with countless bones scattered everywhere.
That’s right, the slope of Dragon-Breaking Stone is covered with human bones. After they were locked up, they wanted to use a human ladder to press the mechanism, but for some reason they all died again.
Light shone in from outside. Su Nuan put away the high-intensity flashlight and said with a sigh, "We've gotten out already. This means we don't have to dig any more caves."
The space spirit said, "You climb the cliffs almost every day, but you haven't noticed that there used to be a royal city there, right?"
Su Nuan shook her head, "No, I just know there are a lot of baskets and holes underground."
Hai Lan said, "It's a good opportunity for us to go out and take a look. Maybe we can find some ruins. If the foundation is intact, we can build a city on it, which will save us a lot of effort."
Su Nuan nodded vigorously, "Yes, let's go."
The space spirit looked at the bones on the ground and asked, "There must be tens of thousands of them."
Su Nuan shook her head, "I don't know, there should be thousands, otherwise how could the bones alone be piled so high and so wide.
The space spirit asked: "Aren't you going to collect the body?"
Su Nuan asked in confusion, "Why should I collect their bodies? They've been dead for so many years, and their magnetic field has dissipated completely. What you see are human bones, but in my eyes, they are just dust."
"Well... there's another use. The ultimate value of these bones is to serve as fertilizer."
The space spirit looked at Su Nuan dully, "You...you are so cold and cruel."
Su Nuan was not angry either. She said calmly, "Every one of us is born towards death. What's unacceptable about this?"
Hai Lan looked at Su Nuan steadily, his eyes revealing not disgust, but satisfaction and joy. This was the most transparent human being he had ever seen. He liked her, he liked her very much.
The space spirit couldn't stand up to Su Nuan, so she took her anger out on Hai Lan. She said angrily, "What's that look in your eyes? Forget it, you're an emotionless robot, so you naturally don't know how precious life is."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "I didn't say life isn't precious. It's just that what do you want me to do to satisfy you? Cry for those bones? Or bury them respectfully?"
"But they have nothing to do with me, no emotional connection. Why should I waste my emotions and energy on such things?"
Hai Lan smiled and said, "Well said, I agree."
After saying that, he looked at the space spirit and asked, "Don't you see the cruelty of the apocalypse? Su Nuan is not cold-hearted, she just sees the reality clearly and doesn't waste her emotions on meaningless things."
"Do you like those who are melancholic and sad? Do you like those who are always full of sympathy and give away their things?"
"One more thing. Su Nuan obviously can't bury so many bones by herself. She'll definitely need your help. Will you help?"
"If you help, you will suffer. If you don't help, then what qualifications do you have to ask Su Nuan to do it?"
The space spirit didn't hear anything else, only that Su Nuan had to do the work she couldn't do herself. She immediately shook her head, "No, no, I didn't say anything."
Hai Lan nodded, and the space spirit would never say such words again in the future.
Su Nuan walked out of the cave and looked back at the bones. Of course, it was better to be alive, to feel the sunshine and appreciate the blue sky and white clouds. If you die, you won’t be able to see anything.
She suddenly thought of a question and said, "Do you think these people are the entire population of Yuanbao Country?"
The space spirit scratched its head and asked, "Why do you say that? I think it was buried alive."
Su Nuan shook her head. "I saw a lot of gold and silver jewelry among the bones. Could it be that the people buried alive also wore precious jewelry?"
The Space Spirit mumbled, "But...are these people stupid? Why are they all going in?"
Su Nuan had already walked out of the cave and looked back at the cave. There was no rest outside, which showed that this was a natural cave entrance.
There was just a strange silver object embedded in the top of the cave, which looked like it was growing in the rock.
The space spirit flew up to investigate, then came down after a moment and said, "It looks like a spaceship from some period. The cliffs have been exposed by the wind and sand."
Su Nuan asked, "Did you see any mechanism? The one that controls the Dragon Breaking Stone?"
"If the mechanism can be used, it can also be a good thing to stop foreign enemies."
The space spirit said, "There is a groove, a pentagram, but there is no key nearby that matches the groove."
Su Nuan touched his chin and said, "Maybe someone locked the people inside on purpose. How big of a grudge is this?"
"If, as I suspect, the people inside are all the residents of Yuanbao Country, then is it burial sacrifice or murder?"
The space spirit asked, "Then who locked them in?"
Su Nuan shrugged and said helplessly, "I don't know either. Maybe I can continue to guess after I find the key."
Hai Lan suddenly laughed and said, "Life is like a play. Whether it's good or bad depends entirely on the screenwriter."
Su Nuan felt that it made sense. No matter whose life it was, the individual himself actually played a dominant role in the process, and fate only played a supporting role.
But fate is so naughty, sometimes it adds icing on the cake, sometimes it provides timely help, and sometimes... it makes the situation worse.
Hai Lan said, "Let me do some detection. I can analyze anything that's ten meters above the surface."
Su Nuan didn't understand, she only saw Hai Lan take out a crutch with a circle on the front and sweep it left and right along the ground.
The space spirit said, "Take out the display screen. Once you receive the signal, you can see the ground situation."
Su Nuan quickly took it out and fiddled with it with the Space Spirit. Densely packed dots of varying sizes appeared on the screen.
The space spirit said, "Those are rocks. Don't underestimate them because they are just dots. In fact, each one is bigger than you."
Su Nuan felt curious and kept swiping the screen to move the picture.
Seeing that Su Nuan ignored her, the space spirit simply went to command Hai Lan.
"Over there...over there...you're stupid, I said over there..."
Hai Lan didn't listen to her at all and walked according to her own wishes, making the space extremely spiritual for a while.
Su Nuan was swiping the screen impatiently when something flashed across it. She quickly shouted, "Stop!"
