Chapter 96 Advanced Civilization Heritage
Su-cheol's words stunned everyone.
Soon, Sanger understood what he meant.
He turned serious and said to the crowd, "The absence of a lock is often more terrifying than the presence of one."
“Mr. Su is a seasoned mechanics expert. His judgment is unlikely to be wrong. We must be careful when we go in. Perhaps... this ruin is waiting for someone to enter.”
Upon hearing these words, everyone's expressions became very solemn.
"ha!"
Just then, You Lingyu suddenly burst out laughing.
“Mr. Su-cheol, don’t scare everyone. Besides, didn’t we bring a navigator with us?”
His gaze swept over Ning Shuyin, but did not linger; instead, he looked towards the middle of the group.
There stood a beautiful woman with long red hair.
"Miss Lisa is a Class C navigator. Please check for us whether it's safe inside."
The red-haired beauty frowned when she saw that she had been chosen, looking somewhat unwilling.
But all eyes were on her, and she closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and awakened her senses.
About three minutes later.
“There are no abnormal energy fluctuations,” she said. “Perhaps the mechanism has run out of power?”
Upon seeing this, Sanger's expression finally relaxed.
A scholar's curiosity shone in his eyes: "Since there is no danger, let's set off."
Ning Shuyin walked at the very end of the line.
Lorraine walked beside her.
She stepped into the main hall, but suddenly felt a pang of fear.
The corridor was unusually quiet.
Just now, she also secretly released a trace of her perception before entering the room.
But the results of the investigation were the same as Lisa's.
There were no unusual changes inside.
However, her intuition told her that the ruins were definitely not welcoming to visitors.
There seemed to be something inside, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the "guest".
After passing through the long corridor, the group entered a circular hall.
The dome didn't seem very high; all you could see was an endless starry sky.
The ground was as smooth as a mirror, clearly reflecting the stars above.
A group of people walked through it, as if strolling through a glass corridor in deep space.
Moreover, what's strange is that there was a hard floor under my feet.
There was no sound when I stepped on it.
It was as if everyone had become a ghost.
The moment everyone stepped into the center of the hall, the surrounding scenery changed dramatically.
Countless statues suddenly appeared from all directions.
These things clearly appeared out of thin air.
But it gives the impression that it has always been there.
Everyone was startled by the sight.
Even the arrogant You Lingyu put away his disdain.
"Oh My God……"
A researcher suddenly pointed to a statue.
"These...these biological forms, many of them only exist in ancient legends."
The statues are all different in shape.
There are human figures and animals.
There are also some geometric shapes.
Some of them are even bizarre states beyond imagination.
Ning Shuyin approached a statue.
That thing is indescribable.
One part of it appeared in front of me, while the other part appeared strangely at the edge of my field of vision, or even behind my head.
This existence seems to challenge the most basic rules of three-dimensional space, such as front, back, left, right, and near appear larger and far appear smaller.
Ning Shuyin had only glanced at it a few times when her eyes felt sore and painful, and a wave of dizziness washed over her.
She quickly closed her eyes and felt a little better.
"This is...this is the Endless Spirit, the legendary core of a high-dimensional object!" A researcher from the team ran up to Ning Shuyin.
He seemed overly excited, knocking Ning Shuyin several meters away, like a moth drawn to a flame.
Loran reached out and steadied Ning Shuyin.
“Something’s strange,” he whispered in her ear.
At this moment, everyone had gathered around.
The researcher stared intently at the item, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"The K99 site may be a museum, a showcase of life! What we are facing may be the legacy of a more advanced civilization than we can understand."
"Stop, don't look at it!"
Dean Sanger suddenly stepped forward and pulled the researcher away.
Su-cheol had taken a spherical device out of his equipment bag.
He activated the device and tossed it into the air, creating a blue isolation shield that directly isolated the eerie "Endless Spirit".
Dean Sanger pulled the other onlookers away one by one.
Then, he pinched the researcher's arm hard, forcibly pulling his attention back.
The researcher then realized his lapse in composure.
Sanger glanced around, cleared his throat, and said:
"The research value of the K99 ruins far exceeds our expectations... However, there seems to be something strange about these things. Everyone, stay on high alert and don't stare at any one thing."
He then turned to Lisa.
"Can you sense this hall? There seems to be no way out. Perhaps these exhibits hold the key to moving forward."
Lisa glanced at Ning Shuyin and immediately took a silver bell from her waist.
"This is?"
Sanger had clearly never seen such equipment before.
"This is an energy detector. Its scanning accuracy is better than the navigator's sense of touch. Moreover, it can save my energy consumption."
Navigator's energy supplements are expensive.
Using superpowers is equivalent to spending money.
Using instruments is the best way to save money.
Lisa started the bell with a showy air.
The detector swept across the entire hall.
Half a minute later, the announcement came over the loudspeaker:
[Scan complete.]
No biosignals or energy responses were detected.
Lisa put away the detector.
"It's just a pile of stones."
However, Ning Shuyin felt that something was wrong.
"etc."
She pointed to a human-shaped statue in the corner of the hall.
"There's something strange there."
The statue is dressed in adventure gear, kneeling on one knee, with a sorrowful and desperate expression on its face.
Lisa looked over, her brows twitching, as if considering whether it was worthwhile to unleash her senses to probe.
Loran walked straight over.
He stopped in front of the statue.
He then reached out his gloved hand and touched the "skin" of the statue.
“It feels like stone,” he said.
The group exchanged knowing glances and shook their heads.
"I thought we might find something, but this is all?" one team member muttered, arms crossed.
However, Lorraine did not turn and leave.
His sharp, piercing gaze remained fixed on the statue.
The next second, a tear rolled down the corner of the statue's eye.
“It’s a living person!” Loran concluded.
Upon seeing this, Su Zhe immediately stepped forward.
After a series of complex operations, he confirmed the existence of locking nodes in the void.
“This person is locked up,” he said calmly. “The locking nodes are moving along irregular trajectories, and I can detect them with my supernatural shock.”
"However, unlocking requires cutting both latches simultaneously within 0.1 seconds."
Su Zhe looked at Lisa and Ning Shuyin in the crowd.
“I have an energy goggles that can handle one of the latches. The other one requires a navigator to use their senses to see it and cut it off at the same time as me.”
Lisa crossed her arms and didn't even lift her eyelids.
In her view, this level of positioning was a complete waste of her special abilities.
She didn't want to waste her time on such a trivial matter.
Ning Shuyin stepped forward without hesitation: "I'll do it."
