Chapter 302 Chapter 302

The mysterious world was broken, and the outside world was exposed to everyone.

The building is surrounded by a barren land with no grass and some broken stones. Among the stones, you can see a few barely intact bricks. It is speculated that this messy stone ground was originally a square paved with bricks, but it was destroyed by some violent means, resulting in its current dilapidated appearance.

Looking further away, you can vaguely see traces of a road in the mud, but no one has walked on it for a long time.

Someone was standing in front of the window of a white building, looking at the outside world through the glass. He rubbed his eyes, but no matter how many times he looked outside, all he saw was a desolate plain, not lush green mountains.

"Where the hell am I?" the man cursed and looked at his two companions, but no one said anything.

His two companions were rummaging through boxes and cabinets, looking for something useful.

"I haven't eaten for a long time. I don't know if we are lucky or unlucky. I found three boxes, two of which are gold bars and one is weapons." The man who stood up said. He looked sick, biting his nails anxiously, and wanted to kill someone. "If I had known that I would stay here for so long, I would have brought that thing. Brother Xi, do you have it with you? I can't help it."

After saying that, he sniffed, his eyes full of desire, and glanced at the bag of the person who had spoken before.

Brother Xi cursed, took out a small bag from his bag and threw it to him: "Use less, you still have to stay here for three days."

"I know." The thin man chuckled and opened the bag. There was a small pile of powder inside. He took the bag anxiously, took out his lighter, and inhaled it.

"What a sick guy." Brother Xi whispered. Looking at the sickly skinny guy squatting in the corner and smoking, he felt that he was also about to get addicted.

Be patient, this place is unusual and not a place for your daily fun.

Seeing that the thin man didn't get up for a while, Brother Xi became anxious. He stepped forward and grabbed the other person's arm: "I told you to use less. The three of us only have this much now. You took it all. What are we going to do in the next three days!"

What if they get addicted? Wouldn't they be miserable without it?

He was having a great time. The skinny guy who was dragged up couldn't focus his eyes. He raised his head and immersed himself in the hallucination. He laughed and drooled. It seemed that the pigs rolling in the mud were smarter than him.

Brother Xi cursed and snatched the rest of the things away. The tin foil underneath burned his palm and he grimaced in pain.

If this guy hadn't been useful in making connections and buying fans, he would have killed him long ago. He can't do his job and only knows how to suck.

Everyone knows that taking this stuff is a dead end. If you can't get addicted, it just depends on who will die first. This sick guy was the last one among the three of them to come into contact with this stuff, and now it seems that he will most likely be the first to die.

"Brother Xi, look at this." Another person waved to him.

"Yunren, what's wrong?" Brother Xi walked forward and saw a small box in front of Yunren. His eyes lit up immediately, "Is there something good? Open it and take a look."

"It can't be opened." Yunren shook the box and heard a clanging sound inside. He guessed that there were a lot of things inside, and they were very heavy.

"Is it gold?" asked Brother Xi.

Even though I complained that the boxes I found were filled with gold bars but no food, to be honest, who wouldn't be happy if they had so much of this stuff? It's all money.

After being trapped for three days, I got so much gold that I won’t have to worry about anything wherever I go.

He wanted to go to the United States, where people could smoke more freely and get high as much as they wanted.

As long as they have money, it's fine. The bodies of the crimes they committed have not been found yet, let alone investigated. Going to the Western Continent is the best choice at this time.

Yunren wanted to open the box, but it had no lock and was completely one piece, with no seams to be found. He looked through it for a long time and only saw a line of words at the bottom of the box.

It looks like the writing of the Western Continent, with twisted strokes, none of which I recognize.

"What... does this mean?" Brother Xi asked.

Yunren was also confused. He couldn't even remember a few of the common characters in the Western Continent, let alone this?

Just at this moment, the split screen of their live broadcast room suddenly restored the signal, and the picture flashed, reflecting everything in the room on the screen.

【After waiting for so long, it finally recovered. 】

【This is a damn signal. 】

【Luckily I didn’t quit. 】

【Be smart and open all split screens on your phone and computer, and read the content on whichever one is restored.】

[Good idea. I'll go turn on the computer.]

[The computer screen is large, so you can open two or more windows. You can try it.]

[I knew it a long time ago.]

[White buildings, buildings from another world, this... looks like the old architectural style of the Western Continent. ]

[The one in the corner, is he high from smoking? ]

[He's twitching. Oh my god, is he going to die?]

[Is this a human? If you hadn't told me, I would have thought it was weird. ]

[People who smoke that stuff all look like this, weird ones are more human than him. 】

[Don't look at it, it looks like a skeleton, too scary. ]

【Look at him and let him warn you to stay away from certain things. 】

[It only takes a little powder to turn a person into a ghost, and there is no way back. 】

[It is even legal in some places. ]

【It’s all about money.】

【This is destroying the future of young people.】

【Capital manages this? 】

【Some things, just understand them yourself. 】

[Look at those two people, the boxes in their hands! The words! ]

[Why do the characters in the other world look so much like the characters in the Western Continent? ]

[This is the writing system of the Western Continent, which comes from the ancient country of Yana. This is the ancient Mystic language, which was popular about 700 years ago.]

[It has almost disappeared now. No one uses this language on a daily basis. Only a small number of people can speak a few sentences. Most of them are recorded in the documents.]

【When there are no longer any people who speak it as their native language, the language can be said to be dead. Therefore, it is a dead language.】

[However, there are still several scripts that are derived from it and are still alive. ]

【But what is derived is text, not language. 】

What does it mean?

[For example, a large part of the characters in Japan come from China, but the pronunciation is different. Characters can be borrowed and imitated, but language cannot. Language is a system of its own in ethnic exchanges and is the most basic part of human communication. ]

[Simply put, language is oral communication, speaking, and pronunciation.]

【I understand.】

[In the past, Han did not have its own writing system, but it had its own language, so they used Chinese for written communication. This is why you see Chinese signs on many old buildings in Han.]

[The pronunciation of the ancient Mystic language has not completely disappeared, and some of the pronunciations have been retained and are used by some traditional religions.]

[But in fact, I won’t use it much. I guess soon there will be nothing left except the written records. ]

【Many characters and languages ​​have disappeared in history. 】

[No, I just want to ask, does anyone know this? ]

【I don’t know him.】

【No.】

[In the next life, if I can be reborn into the country of Guyana. ]

[Remember, it was between 700 and 1,000 years ago. This language and writing were prevalent at that time.]

【Good guy, we still need to locate the location. 】

[It may be possible to date it earlier, but the history cannot be verified. We can only be sure that during this period, the ancient Mystic language was still in use.]

[A reminder: in ancient times, no matter which country, writing was something that only the rich and powerful could afford to use, so reincarnation must be precise.]

[Pah, I won’t go.]

[You said it as if you could go.]

Just as everyone was discussing, the split screen suddenly lost signal.

Brother Xi and the other person were unaware of the discussion in the comments. They were still studying the box. As for the words, they were certain they did not recognize them, so there was naturally no need to study them.

"Why not smash it?" Yunren said, "If there are gold bars inside, you won't have to worry about it getting damaged."

Gold can be sold in any form as long as it is pure enough.

Brother Xi is still hesitating.

Although it might be a gold bar, what if it isn't? If it is some delicate item, wouldn't it rot if it is smashed?

The architectural style and the shape of the box are both very luxurious. It is obvious that this is a place where rich people stay. Although I don’t know why the wooden building has become like this in the blink of an eye, as long as there is money, everything is fine.

"Try it, try it again." Brother Xi was very unwilling.

"Then..." Yunren lowered his head and continued to fiddle with it. Suddenly, he saw a very small groove under the box, as if to insert something like a card. Thinking of this, Yunren began to grope around where he found the box. After a while, he touched something like a thin translucent plastic sheet and inserted it into the groove.

There was a click and the box opened.

Both of them's eyes lit up, but when they looked inside, all three of them looked disappointed.

There were no gold, silver or jewelry in the box. There were only three things that looked like iron triangles and a triangular crystal block, but the three corners of the crystal block also had traces of grooves.

"What a thing! It's worthless at first glance." Brother Xi spat. He spent so much time on this thing. It really felt like it was not worth it.

The live broadcast screen is turned on again.

【The signal comes again. 】

【Why is it happening again and again?】

[It's normal. It's a different world after all. 】

[The ancient Mystic language has been revealed, where is the alien world? 】

【Maybe I traveled back to the past?】

【It could also be a parallel universe. 】

[The box is opened, how did it open? I didn’t see it! ]

[These three metal pieces should fit the three corners of the crystal, right? How about plugging them in and giving it a try? ]

Brother Xi was no longer interested in this and had already gone to walk around. Yunren was the only one who was curious about this thing. He fiddled with it and discovered the relationship between the three metal pieces and the crystal. After comparing them left and right, he inserted the metal pieces into the crystal one by one.

When the last piece of metal was put into place, there was a flash of light, and the scene in the room changed. Originally, there were only debris piled up in the corner of the room, but now the debris was gone. The room was filled with test tables and various utensils arranged in an orderly manner. There was also a row of specimen jars against the wall that seemed to be soaked in formalin.

The specimens were bizarre, some had human shapes, some were strange, and some were impossible to tell what they were.

If Li Tu and the system were here, they would immediately discover that everything soaked in the jar was weird.

This place was once a weird research laboratory.

A group of people wearing white coats and with various skin and hair colors walked around, speaking a language that Xige and the others could not understand. They pointed at the experimental reports posted on the wall and argued, and some even got into fights in excitement.

The blond beauty in a white coat wanted to stop the fight, but she failed and was hit. She screamed and burst into tears.

The sudden change of scenery scared Brother Xi and Yun Ren. Brother Xi thought it was weird and wanted to run, but there were too many people in white coats in the room, especially two of them were fighting fiercely. The tall one knocked the short one down with one punch, and the man staggered towards Brother Xi. Brother Xi subconsciously wanted to hide, but he took two steps back and saw a man with black curly hair standing behind him. He put his hands in his pockets and watched everything quietly. Brother Xi had no time to avoid him. Just when he thought he was going to be beaten by this cool man with black curly hair, he passed through the other's figure and fell to the ground.

Wear...wear through?

Brother Xi stretched out his hand in disbelief and touched the hem of the black curly-haired man's trousers, but found nothing.

【This...what is this? 】

【Holographic projection?】

[Oh my god, how can this be ancient times? This is the future! ]

[Wake up, no one speaks ancient Mystic language anymore, and few people use it. This can't be the future.]

[Parallel world, isn't there such a theory? When you travel to the past and change a historical event, history will develop in another direction, but this will not change the future of your world, it will only create a new parallel time and space. ]

[In theory, but no one has actually tried it.]

【It would be a miracle if you could actually experiment. 】

【Hasn't it already been seen as strange?】

[Can this be the same? ]

【It's different. 】

[Is the thing in the jar weird? Is it weird? 】

[What is this? Are we seeing the source of the weirdness? All the weirdness is created by them, polluting their world, and then polluting our world as their parallel dimension. ]

【I suddenly felt that this statement made sense. 】

[It is indeed very reasonable. ]

[It is also possible that they discovered the strange appearance and then caught it and began to study it. ]

[It's possible. It would be nice if the document hanging on the wall could be translated.]

[It's okay. There are still people studying ancient Mystic language. I have already asked a scholar and he is translating it.]

[Is this true or false? Can you post the translation results? ]

【I'll ask later. 】

[He said yes. He also said that he had never seen many of the words in the report posted on the wall. They might be words that have disappeared from our world, or they might be words that were created later in a parallel world. Anyway, he translated everything that could be translated.]

[I’ll post the contents of the report at the top for you: After the results of the 37th test, it was determined that the ** of ** did not belong to this world and was full of **. After mixing it with the ** of the 41st test, it was impossible to produce **...]

[Are there too many asterisks here? I can't understand it at all. 】

[Because it cannot be translated, it is a word I have never seen before.]

[It's understandable. Although I learned the common language of the Western Continent, I was still confused by a bunch of technical terms when I read the experimental reports there. I had to look up the dictionary frequently. And when researchers discovered a new substance, they would come up with a new term, and then the dictionary would be useless.]

The content of the full projection was still going on, the quarrels were still going on, the crying was still going on, and the silent black curly-haired man beside him had walked to the side, he took out a triangular crystal and did something unknown. Yunren noticed that the crystal he was holding was exactly the same as the one he was fiddling with.

So this is for video projection?

The man with black curly hair fiddled with the crystal, his fingers tapping in the air. Neither Yunren nor the audience in the live broadcast room could tell what he was doing.

Soon no one paid attention to him anymore. Everyone noticed that in one of the glass jars, a small hand suddenly stretched out from a black, hairy thing. It was as tender as a newborn baby, but not cute. It was a miserable white, like a corpse that had been soaked for a long time. The white flesh membrane seemed to be wrapped in a mass of pus, and it looked soft, sticky and disgusting.

The little hand stretched forward until it touched the glass wall. It seemed to have just developed its own thoughts and will. It was very curious about the outside world. The little palm kept groping the edge of the glass until it explored everything around it. After it realized that it was in a small sealed jar, the little hand retracted as if nothing had happened. A large group of black hair continued to float in the liquid in the bottle.

The people in the room started arguing less loudly, as if they were tired.

Someone started to tidy up the things on the table, walked over to the bottles and started to mark them, and some of the bottles were labeled with a cross.

After a while, someone came into the room and took away the bottles and jars with the cross on them.

The bottles and jars of the black hair ball were not marked and were left behind.

The person who was doing the labeling put new labels on the remaining cans and started to sort the boxes, apparently intending to pack up the remaining cans and take them away.

[Quick, translate! This is the only one that moves among these jars. Quick, translate it and see.]

【Wait.】

[Translation: **Sixty-one, was conceived by **Seventeen and humans together, unable to be born with a complete human body, killed her mother at birth, and has not yet determined what kind of abilities she possesses, and is temporarily reserved for use in the longevity plan.]

[Ah? Ah? ? ]

[Growing together with humans? Is that what it means? ]

【On how crazy people can go when doing research. 】

[Is this an attempt to artificially create awakened people? ]

[It's possible. Isn't it the case in many stories that hybrids of monsters and humans are very strong?]

【Stories are stories, reality is reality. 】

[Some research really doesn’t even have a bottom line. ]

【Don't say that. Scientific development often relies on experiments. 】

[But this experiment is a bit morally...]

[If the world is about to be destroyed by weirdness, some ethics and morals are not important. ]

The cans were taken down one by one, put into boxes and taken away. However, at the end, they found that the box was not full and one of them was destined to be left behind. The people in white coats hesitated again and again, and after asking their colleagues for their opinions, they took down the can with the black hair ball and put it back to its original position.

The rest were packed up and taken away.

Then the people in white coats began to pack up documents and move tables, looking as if they were going to evacuate the place completely.

After the room was almost cleaned up and only some boxes of miscellaneous items were piled in the corner, a young woman in a white coat walked up to the jar, took the jar with the black hair ball in her hand, and stared at the contents with curiosity.

She must be a newcomer, rather clumsy and unfamiliar with many of the laboratory equipment.

The black ball of hair floated motionlessly in the jar, as if it were dead.

The woman in the white coat wanted to put the jar away with regret. At this moment, the ball of black hair inside moved, and a rotten little face the size of a palm emerged from the ball of black hair, facing the glass wall and the woman in the white coat.

She was so frightened that she screamed and threw the can in her hand away. It hit the ground with a bang and broke into pieces.

A clear mucus liquid flowed out. Judging from its viscosity, it didn't look like formalin.

The people in white coats watched all this in shock, and just when they reacted, the ball of black hair suddenly moved and jumped onto the body of the woman in white coat.

The projection stopped abruptly and everything returned to calm.

The men in white coats disappeared, and they returned to the previous room, with only three people allowed in the room.

The only difference was that in the center of the floor, there lay a ball of black hair, exactly the same as the one soaked in the jar in the projection.

Yunren was the first to react. He dropped what he was holding and rushed out.

Xige's face also changed from pale to iron blue, and he ran closely behind Yunren. Now, the only people left in the room were the black hairy ball and the sickly skinny guy who was still twitching in the corner.

The black hair ball moved and pounced on the sick and thin man's face. A crunching sound of gnawing was heard, accompanied by the man's screams.
