Chapter 86 A brilliant civilization rises from the marble chessboard...
Jin Keyu still can't figure out why his ancestors set such a rule. The Jin family's ancestors regarded the Jin family's library as a treasure, but they regarded a chess book as a treasure of sky-high price...
He believed that the value of the chess books was far greater than the Jin family's collection of books.
It is unbelievable that a mere chess book can be exchanged for the entire Jin family library.
In response to Ya Donglin's question, he could only perfunctorily answer, "There are too many books. I haven't finished reading them, and I can't tell whether the things recorded in the books are true or false. Some of them do look like legends. Maybe they are just legends."
Su Shui thought of another question and asked curiously, "Since there are so many secret books in your Jin family's library, there should be a book specifically about necklaces, right?"
When Jin Keyu and Jin Xiuheng heard the word "necklace", they trembled all over. Of course, they knew what the necklace Su Shui was talking about was.
Jin Keyu turned his head and looked at Su Shui, his expression indescribably reserved and complicated. He knew that the necklaces worn by Jin Duoling and Jin Duobao were not ordinary jewelry, but he had only heard the secret behind them from other elders. As for their uses, he himself was not very clear.
Moreover, there was no book in the Jin family library that specifically recorded the necklace. He had been curious about the origin of the necklace before and had read many books, but had never found it.
However, Jin Keyu knew that there was a small secret room in the library that had never been opened.
Seeing how cautious Jin Keyu and Jin Xiuheng were, afraid of saying something wrong, Su Shui gave up the idea of asking further questions, "Forget it, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you. It's just that the purpose of the simulator this time seems to be for the necklaces on Duoling and Duobao."
Upon hearing this, Jin Keyu immediately let down his guard, "You mean, the two cousins were injured because of the necklace?"
Ya Donglin chuckled, "What else? Why do you think that person pretended to be Jin Duoling and took Jin Duobao away?"
Jin Keyu was touched again and was stunned for a moment.
The others also analyzed it in their minds and felt that what Su Shui and Ya Donglin said made a lot of sense. There were so many people here, but the other party only made the simulator to look like Jin Duoling. There must be some ulterior motive.
Jin Xiuheng's eyes began to evade, and he stammered, "Brother, do you remember when grandpa mentioned the necklace to us by chance when we were little?"
"At that time, the Jin family gave two necklaces to my two cousins, and we were a little jealous... Later, my grandfather told us that these two necklaces were not good things, and whoever wore them would be in danger of death..."
Ya Donglin said with disdain: "I didn't expect that you Jin family still have such superstitious ideas! The two young ladies of the Jin family are really unlucky. They have to wear this broken necklace since they were born."
Su Shui questioned, "Duo Ling and Duo Bao belong to the Jin family's side branch, so should we let them wear the legendary bad luck necklace?"
Jin Xiuheng hurriedly explained: "That's not the case! In fact, before the two cousins were born, Grandpa predicted that the Jin family would have two twin girls. Grandpa said that the necklace was prepared for the two cousins, but it just happened that the cousins took on the mission of the necklace."
Jin Keyu sighed and explained, "Xiuheng is right. We thought the necklace was beautiful and wanted it, but Grandpa refused. He said that the necklace is a good thing, but also a bad thing."
"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight." Su Shui added calmly.
The deeper they went into the palace, the quieter everything became. Now they could no longer hear the sound of the piano. The environment was so quiet that they could even hear the sound of the air flowing. Su Shui could see many black and white spots of light moving through the air.
She almost forgot that her five senses were now different from those of ordinary people.
Seeing these spots of light, a word popped into Su Shui's mind: dark matter.
From observing everyone's facial expressions, it was clear that Su Shui knew they couldn't see the dark matter.
But dark matter is everywhere, so how could I suddenly see it at this moment?
At this time, several people suddenly felt that they could not breathe and had difficulty breathing. Their cheeks began to turn red and cracked, as if they were cracked by a strong wind.
Several of them stopped, holding their chests and saying, "I can't take it anymore. The further we go inside, the more uncomfortable we feel. The oxygen is thin here, and I'm almost suffocating."
"Me too... What the hell is this place? It's so uncomfortable."
Hua Yifei also stopped by the wall and said, "No, I'm not going in there anymore. If you want to go, go ahead! I'm going to go back the way I came and rest. If we go any further, we might die."
"Ha..." Ya Donglin sneered, turned around and looked at the road he had come from, and said helplessly: "Now I want to go back, but there is no chance anymore. How sad."
Hua Yifei and the others turned around and looked at the road behind them in shock. All the places they had passed by turned into a vast void, pitch black, with nothing in it.
At this moment, she couldn't help but curse, "fuck!"
Ya Donglin touched his head and muttered to himself, how rude!
Su Shui is no longer surprised. Since she came to this planet, too many unreasonable things have happened around her. What is happening now is not a big deal.
She snorted and laughed, "Let's go! If we don't leave now, this place will soon become a dark world."
Those who had stopped stood up straight again and planned to move forward. At this moment, Su Shui just glanced at the road ahead and saw Xiao Bike walking a long way alone...
Her eyes suddenly darkened, and she murmured, "This Xiao guy, every time he escapes, he's always the first one."
Misagaia couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth slightly, and she was about to laugh out loud.
The Flying Star Beast continued to lead the way, and for the next hour or so, everyone followed the Flying Star Beast in unison without anyone raising any objections.
Everyone was moving forward in silence, and the atmosphere was very heavy.
Apart from Ya Donglin occasionally chatting and bragging with Su Shui and Misagaia, there was almost no other action that could liven up the atmosphere.
However, everyone once again heard the melodious piano music and smelled the fresh and elegant fragrance.
A white light flashed from the front and gradually formed a huge halo. Su Shui knew that there was another exit ahead.
When everyone arrived at the place where the light was, everyone was shocked.
There are many exquisite musical instruments on display. What is incredible is that these instruments can automatically play beautiful melodies without human playing.
There are many colorful flowers placed around the musical instruments, and each pot of flowers is full of vitality.
"Has Gu Yue's technology become so advanced? Even the musical instruments are unmanned, and these flowers no longer need fertilizer." Hua Yife felt it was incredible when she said this.
She turned on her computer and prepared to record these scenes.
After looking around, Su Shui stopped beside a pipa and chimes and was stunned. The pipa and chimes are both musical instruments from ancient China. He did not expect to see them on Gu Yue, and they looked exactly the same in appearance.
The pipa strings move by themselves and the chimes shake. To them, it feels as if there are people around them who are invisible to the naked eye and are playing the pipa and ringing the chimes.
Not to mention, the temperature here is a bit low. Just a few steps in Su Shui can make you feel the cool breeze.
She thought of the dark matter she had just seen. When she got here, all the dark matter had disappeared, but Su Shui was very clear that it had not disappeared.
Everyone was immersed in the music and started to shed tears as they listened.
This unknown music score, from the light-hearted and cheerful beginning, to the tense and urgent later, and finally to the despair and sadness in the end, every string of the music touched everyone's heart.
They vaguely guessed that this song was telling a story, a story about the rise and fall of a brilliant civilization.
In a trance, the music stopped.
Everywhere you look, there is a sea of blood.
There were many bright red bloodstains and dead bodies on the musical instruments. Some of the dead bodies were still in the position of playing the piano. Su Shui choked and closed his eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, tears had already flowed down the corners of her mouth and fell to the ground, making a sad and crisp sound.
Sherbet's eyes were cold, and she said rationally, "The massacre this place has experienced is far more despairing than we imagined."
"This is simply inhumane!"
"Why would a group of people do such a horrific thing?"
Ya Donglin, who had never been surprised by such scenes, was greatly moved by them. "I can't imagine the sufferings that the people on Gu Yue have endured, but..."
He looked up at the white ceiling, his pupils brightened, and he said helplessly: "Why are we here? If all this was designed by someone, what is the purpose of the designer bringing us here?"
"Look there!"
Hua Yifei's words interrupted everyone's thoughts. Su Shui looked in the direction Hua Yifei pointed, and saw that the blood-stained ground had revealed several marbles that looked like a chessboard, and the cross lines were shining with golden light.
This new discovery pulled them out of their sad mood.
Ya Donglin said to Su Shui, "Miss, is it your turn to show off again? Everyone knows that you are good at chess. Maybe this game of chess has a deeper meaning."
Xiao Bike looked around and realized that there were walls on three sides and the road behind him had disappeared. It was obvious that this place had become a secret room in their eyes.
This chessboard is the only key that looks like a key to the exit of the secret room.
He also agreed, "Indeed, if we want to go out this time, we can't do it without you. My life depends on you."
Jin Keyu and Jin Xiuheng had already taken the lead in cleaning up the bloodstains on the ground, and the others followed suit to help, as if at this moment, everyone had reached a consensus that Su Shui was the key person to rescue them.
After the bloodstains on the floor disappeared, a complete 19-way chessboard was revealed on the entire floor, and the game on the board was already half finished.
But there are no chess pieces placed here, which means that this game of chess cannot be played at all!
Just when everyone was in a state of panic, Shebeya's dry eyes started to flare up. She raised her head, took out her eye drops and put two drops in.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a circular chess piece projection appear on the ceiling at some point, and the position of the chess piece was exactly aligned with the last move of the chess game on the marble.
