Episode 127. Unlocking the Hidden Secret (1)
"I see."
Joyna nodded to the prisoners and said, "The information you said is very useful. I have already written it down. I will definitely fulfill the promise I have given me. Don't worry... The hidden sand castle has many secrets buried, but none of them will sleep underground forever. Now, it's time for me to leave."
What?
"You... are you leaving?"
"where are you going?"
Joyna ignored the surprised gazes the prisoners cast at her and turned toward the edge of the platform.
All the things that should be understood have been understood. The feeling of being monitored has been lingering around her body. She knew that it was from Morgana's snooping.
This strange sense of peeping has always existed, and it has never stopped for a moment since Joyna entered this place.
The ability sensation is two-way, and Joyna can clearly feel surveillance. But she doesn't want the mysterious "Scarlet Witch" to know what she is doing, although she doesn't know what the other party is thinking yet.
Joyna saw that the gaps in the walls were covered with lichens and moss, emitting a glimmer of light. These lights were very special and could not be seen by the prisoners.
That is Morgana's incredible ability. Although she has no vision, she can see everything clearly.
Morgana can control all plants, and plants are everywhere in the world, acting as her eyes that extend to infinite distance, feeling everything that is happening here.
But why did she do this?
As a genetic engineer who has unique skills and is far superior to ordinary people in all aspects, she is being played like a monkey in the palm of her hand. The other party turns his hands into clouds, turns his hands into rain, and controls everything in front of him. Is it different level of power between her and her?
The invisible power is the most terrifying.
Why is this? What is the other party’s bottom line? What is the promise she asked for?
Joyna was a little confused. She felt that she knew too little and could not make any sense now.
For some reason, Joyna always felt that she and Morgana were like two equally unruly figures among the dust of two ruts. Her sharpness was revealed, like the sun at eight or nine o'clock; while Morgana was so secretive, like the sunset that was setting, the light remained unabashed.
Joyna felt a deep sense of powerlessness, but on the other hand, she was extremely curious about Morgana. She had made up her mind: no matter what Morgana had, she must find a way to uncover the other party's mystery.
"Bang--!"
Joyna punched the wall in front of everyone, and suddenly gravel flew and easily opened a road. She picked up the torch and burned the plants on the wall with a dazzling ignition.
This action shocked the world and made the prisoners stunned.
Under the reflection of the fire, Joyna's face seemed to burst into dazzling light, turning into faith in their eyes and even in their hearts.
"You guys wait in prison. If you have good luck... you might be able to leave tomorrow."
The prisoners stood there, watching Joyna fly into the lower floor without looking back, and for a moment, his figure disappeared.
“I said it.”
The last words were clearly transmitted to each prisoner's ears.
———
The underground buildings are unfathomable. The scale of this underground maze has long surpassed the subway facilities of the old era. Joyna is very sure of this along the way.
"It seems that she didn't lie to me... There is a real city buried underneath."
Thinking of this, Joyna went down the curved road. Unlike the cell above, there was no breath of living people here.
With great curiosity, Joyna continued to go deeper step by step.
At the same time, she murmured in her heart: I have gone so far, where are the believers mentioned by Morgana?
The ticking sounds sounded from time to time, and the water flowed down the upper layer, gathering in the gaps all the time.
In the darkness, Joyna's eyes stared in front of her. Her powerful vision detection became more and more adaptable to the darkness. The surrounding environment no longer had only a blurry outline, but was clearly visible.
The roots of those plants were extremely deep, probably extending from the ground, and they were unknown how far they were going deep under the ruins. Various plants were coiled around the ground, as if invisible strange elves followed her, paying close attention to her every move.
"snort--"
She snorted softly, then murmured, "It's up to you, I want to see what other tricks you can do."
At this time, Joyna didn't know that there were indeed "gims" waiting for her on the road ahead, but it was not what she thought.
After walking for about half an hour, Joyna remembered what the prisoners said: "This area is surrounded by deserted deserts. The slave owners here have supreme rights. Everyone around them comes to make a living. In fact, they are just deceived to accept enslavement..."
Joyna thought deeply, if Morgana really had the ability to control plants, why couldn't she turn this desert into an oasis?
Where did her ability come from?
Oasis is the hope and miracle of everyone in desert areas. It builds a considerable scale of biological communities with a small scale, which can stabilize climate effects and ecology. A considerable scale of biological communities can ensure the stability and systemicity of the oasis in space and time.
The microclimate effect ensures that the oasis creates a suitable climate environment for mankind, which is conducive to the formation of a biological chain of ecological and healthy growth. What the oasis means is that it is better to understand this area buried in yellow sand and ruins.
Simply put, people can farm in oasis, obtain stable food, restore the ecology within decades, and become a truly livable place.
What a wonderful thing that is, isn't that?
The slight movement stopped Joyna and brought her back to reality from her messy random thoughts.
She saw herself standing in a place completely different from other places, where the plants grow lushly and vigorously, with a variety of varieties, covering almost everything in front of her. The air was filled with a strong and gentle moisture, which made people mistakenly think that they had walked into the greenhouse.
The vines growing freely are densely filled with spaces, full of greenness.
Various plants climbed and extended along the cracks at the top of the wall, and then hanged from the ceiling. Beneath this green vine and rhizome, familiar glimmers flashed faintly, as if there was a spontaneous breath or rhythm, making the entire space quiet and weird.
"Well, is this...?"
Joyna walked slowly, looked up, and a slight ripples appeared in her heart. After a while of surprise, she walked up to the wall to watch.
I saw pieces of lichen and moss growing in an incredible regular shape, neatly and orderly, like an array deliberately divided by a weeder.
And those flashing glimmers are emitted from the surface of lichens hidden under the vines.
The vine at hand actually started to move, Joyna widened her eyes and took a step back alertly.
