What’s even more incredible is that these characters are completely in Tianshenzhou script - a new type of writing between simplified and traditional Chinese. Although it is different from the simplified and traditional Chinese in Tianshenzhou that Chen Yan knows, as long as the text structure and strokes are

If it's not too complicated, you'll definitely be able to recognize it.

Chen Yan looked at these familiar words and lost his mind for a moment.

Maybe……

Maybe the truth is not what he imagined - maybe this seemingly crazy and disorderly world is not reconstructed from the elements in his memory, maybe the people around him are not simple and brainless artificial retards, maybe...

…

Maybe he really came to the place he prayed for in the Deep Sea Age Fragments - the starting point of the mutation in Tidanios!

These thoughts flashed across his mind like meteors, and Chen Yan immediately looked at the yellowed screen in front of him again, and recalled the information about Salommel, the eighteenth month.

The first time he came into contact with the name "Eighteenth" was in the underground of the tiger area of ​​the Byron Weiss Zoo. Jihak, the aquarium administrator of the Byron Weiss Zoo, wrote to the tiger area keeper Wan Bu.

It is recorded in Lin Moshi's letters.

In Jihak's letter, the Eighteenth Day is just an ocean-going research vessel of the zoo. The director and some zoo employees have taken the Eighteenth Day on a cruise around the world in the past few years.

The content and purpose of the tour are unknown.

The letter clearly mentioned that they had visited a certain ruins in the glacier called [Sankraken Great Tomb], discovered a civilization with the symbolic meaning of [eye], and brought back some [zombie fish].

These [zombie fish] are the "monitor fish" that Chen Yan saw after entering the zoo through Osmandis' vision, and they are also the "monitors" guarding the Sankraken Tomb. (Chapter 753)

Chen Yan couldn't help but think that the [Eye] totem that the Byron Weiss Zoo employees found in the Sankraken Tomb was exactly the same as the huge [Eye] pattern he just saw in this base.

Shivered.

The second time he came into contact with the name [Eighteenth] was when he first entered the mechanical hive and met Klein.

At that time, Klein had just caught [Eighteenth] who had transformed into a cat, and explained to Chen Yan: (Chapter 761)

"[Eighteenth Eighteenth] is a great attempt by Byron Weiss Zoo."

"[Eighteenth Eighteenth], its other name exists in an ancient legend, it is called [Sarommel], which means [Wandering Eye]."

"It is the eye of the gods, what it sees is what the gods see, and what the gods touch is the kingdom of God."

"[Eighteenth], Byron Weiss's technological creation, the legendary Eye of God, can absorb everything within the field of vision."

According to Klein, [The Eighteenth] originally existed only in legends, but the zoo made an attempt to create it.

So, if this world is real...

Chen Yan's thinking paused here.

He looked at Swam who was draped in sheets, at Klein with owl ears, and Miao Shuisheng with fox ears, and then lowered his head to look at Tidanios sleeping in his arms. Countless emotions welled up in his heart, and his thoughts gradually became firmer.

If this world is not a fantasy that appeared in my mind because of my madness, but is really the [starting point of the mutation in Tidanios] that I arrived from the fragments of the Deep Sea Age in the wilderness, then...

Ryan's original statement conflicted with what he saw in front of him——

The screen in front of me clearly says:

[It is now the 13th day to the end of the Ice Age. We have finally suffered the legendary Judgment Day - a distributed denial-of-service attack from the gods detonated the steel dome of Cyber ​​Zion. We must leave, leave here, and go

Looking for the Ark of the Doomsday—Sarommel.]

If this world is real, then the era in which this world existed must be before the era in which it originally existed.

So, in this distant past from modern times, Salommel-Eighteenth already existed, and was not the "technological creation of Byron Weiss" as Klein said.

There are many doubts in front of Chen Yan. For example, assuming that this world is real, some problems cannot be explained, such as why the people he is familiar with have become artificially retarded beast-eared people, such as why these beast-eared people appear.

The "stuck" phenomenon, such as what is going on in that village...

He could not explain these things, but he had a hunch that these problems were not just a phenomenon, but there must be a deeper logic behind them.

The content recorded on the screen in front of him may be one of the opportunities for him to explore the answer to the question.

When Chen Yan thought of this, he couldn't help but recall the name of the eighteenth month - Sarommel, which was the legendary name of the eighteenth month.

The Eye of Wandering is a certain code name for the eighteenth month, or a nickname that describes the appearance of the eighteenth month.

And [Eighteenth Month] itself is a name given by modern people, but Chen Yan didn't know what the meaning of this name was.

Chen Yan thought of the eighteenth month with a cat shell, and subconsciously looked at Tidanius, who looked like a tabby cat in his arms.

Why are they all cats?

Just a coincidence?

Or is there some other secret?

Chen Yan was completely unable to find any basis to prove such a conjecture, so he could only move his field of view back to the direction of the screen.

The area of ​​this yellowed screen is very small. From the material point of view, it looks like the [segment code LCD screen] that Chen Yan once remembered in the distant memory.

There were regular buttons, and those buttons were marked with abbreviations that Chen Yan didn't recognize. The characters were not in English, but some kind of complex symbols that looked like... oracle bones.

These machines - from the structural model of the circular console, to the combination of mechanical bodies including screens, and the ubiquitous [eye] totem, the style of the entire building is filled with a weird beauty -

You can smell the thick and solemn smell of engine oil everywhere, as if you come from a certain era of heavy machinery, and because of those eyes, it is full of confusing absurdity and weirdness. Even though everything is made of metal components, it always makes people feel...

There is a strange sense of mystery, like a religion that never teaches doctrines but contains secrets in every corner.

Chen Yan always had a feeling that when he looked at the [eye] totems that might appear in every corner, those [eyes] seemed to be watching him too.

But those things are obviously dead.

It's just a totem engraved on the steel plate.

As for the complex oracle-like symbols on the circular console... Chen Yan couldn't be sure what these characters represented, but he had to try to press them.

He pressed a symbol that looked like an [up] arrow, and the screen slid upwards.

'What luck...'

Chen Yan roughly determined the characters for sliding [up] and [down], so he activated the segment code LCD screen to scroll and pulled the content displayed on the screen to the top.

He took a few glances and was able to determine that these records were just records of a technician in his spare time, and were not official logs from this huge mechanical base.

Judging from the records, because technicians are very busy at work, this log is rarely updated. From the beginning of recording the log to the end, it seems that only the most important information is recorded:

[This morning, the Holy Mountain finally issued a warning for the Great Ice Age. Damn it, we should have known it would be like this. The monitoring station has detected more than fifty cold springs in a row. How can there be fifty consecutive cold springs?

What is the annual average spring temperature below freezing?

But people always have an illusion, a kind of luck. They think: ice ages, big and small, will come every few decades, and the arrival of ice ages and the alternation of normal weather only means that the vitality of the planet is strong.

Moreover, the Great Ice Age only comes once every hundreds or even thousands of years. The last Great Ice Age was only more than 500 years ago. How could it come so soon?

Yes, judging from the time interval, the advent of the Great Ice Age is abnormal; according to the data from the monitoring station, the climate suddenly became abnormal, like...well...like...

Some god has blocked the sun.]

sun……

There is a sun in this world. So, does that mean that this world is indeed from a previous era?

One of Chen Yan's doubts seemed to be verified, which made him read more firmly.

["A certain god blocked the sun" sounds nonsense, but it actually happened - without any abnormal weather happening, the thickness of the atmosphere suddenly became more than ten times thicker than before.

The temperature of the entire world dropped sharply, and a large amount of seawater evaporated, resulting in an increase in cumulonimbus clouds. The massive cumulonimbus clouds crystallized due to the sudden drop in temperature, and turned into heavy snow. This is the origin of the heavy snow that covers the entire world.

If there is no interference from the power of gods, why would there be such a situation that does not exist in normal scientific cognition?

Of course, the universal scientific outlook tells us that gods do not exist. Once something is beyond human cognition, it is defined as a god simply because humans do not understand it yet.

But what if...I mean what if, what if gods surpass humans too much?

What if the technology possessed by the gods and the form of their existence are things that humans cannot understand even if they continue to develop for millions or tens of millions of years?

If this assumption is true, then gods are really gods, gods that are absolutely powerful and absolutely incomprehensible to humans.

…

I'm distracted.

I've been under too much pressure recently. Even if the doomsday comes, I still have to pay back not a penny less for the mortgage. My child at home is going to kindergarten soon, which is another huge sum of money... Even if the doomsday comes, I still have to work hard.

After work, when I have time, I will record what happened before the end of the world.

I don't know the point of doing this, just because I have no one to say these words to.

Everyone has the desire to talk, right?]

When Chen Yan saw the last sentence recorded for the first time, he suddenly shuddered.

The reason why he shuddered was because when he saw this sentence, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart - he felt that this sentence was meant for him.

'I'm so nervous...'

‘This [Holy Mountain] should be the ruler of this base? Maybe the ruler of this human civilization? It sounds very powerful...

But this human civilization is obviously similar to Asian civilization, so why would it use a word like "Holy Mountain" with a strong Western cultural flavor to describe its rulers?'

'do not really understand.'
