Chapter 66 The Art of Distortion

The location of the shell…

Pace strode forward, one-meter-high shacks scattered beside tables or machines, presumably assuming the function of chairs.

Most of the shells were left in the shacks.

Combined with what Dr. Zeta shared a few days ago, she quickly understood the types of creatures in ancient civilizations.

"It seems that these shells are the remains of ancient civilizations."

Shells, remains, corpses?

Somewhere in the hall, Xinglai got into a shell out of curiosity. When he heard the channel voice, he immediately looked up and saw the frozen mucus on the shell wall.

He suddenly shrank his head and hit his face mask, then rolled and crawled out.

It’s the remains again. Why do I always come across these scary things every time I do archeology?

The black holes in the eye sockets of the skeleton of the Demon King, the ferocious sculpture of Karanka not long after his death, are now burrowed into the corpse of the Knum man.

Xing Lai's face was pale, and he stood behind the captain uneasily. He grabbed her life-support suit and made up his mind not to run around.

Aisha noticed the little follower behind her, smiled and said nothing, and then heard Xing Lai whisper.

"There is frozen mucus inside the shell."

Mucus?

Instead, she stepped forward and picked up a shell and looked at it carefully.

The presence of shells indicates that they are not an intelligent race of humanoid creatures. It seems that the races in the Isolated Star Cluster are not all human beings... And unlike what Master Gudu said, the planet Knum is really special...

"Captain Pace, can you confirm that these are remains? If they are really shell remains, then the intelligent creatures of ancient civilizations were molluscs like giant scallops and giant snails?"

"It can be confirmed." Pace nodded affirmatively. "In the city's residences and other buildings, there are the most shells, and some even only have shells."

"That's right, no wonder the ones here are so short."

Aisha raised her arms upwards and easily touched the ceiling. "The height of two meters is already very high for this group of creatures."

"It's hard to imagine a bunch of slug-like creatures evolving advanced intelligence."

"Indeed, freezing has not stopped their remains from disappearing. Only the shells are left. It is difficult to imagine their physiological structure."

Pace nodded. If the civilization composed of soft-bodied organisms can be studied carefully, it must be a considerable scientific research asset.

Thinking of this, her dull heart rarely became active.

For a wanderer, the stories of the universe are the best spiritual food when roaming the stars.

He turned around and scanned the hall, pointing to a metal door on the side, and shining the lantern into the blind spot at the edge of the hall.

"let's go."

After kicking away a few large shells that were in the way, Pace moved forward. The metal door was still incomplete, exposing the dark space behind it.

Relying on the limited direct light source, they could barely distinguish the passage behind the door all the way down.

"The surface part of this building is not important. The underground part may be built to withstand low temperatures. It is very deep. If it were me, the machines in the data center would definitely be placed at the bottom."

Bana, who was lagging behind, trotted to keep up with the others and whispered about what she had just gained.

"I found something that looked like an electronic machine under the table. It couldn't be used, but it looked like an ordinary electronic machine. There was nothing suspicious about mystical equipment."

"If there is any electronic information stored in this data center, we should be able to decipher it."

Another member of the team said following the train of thought.

"Perhaps we should be lucky that the ancient civilization of Knum is not the genetic technology route in the movie, or it is simply a magical civilization."

Aisha laughed twice.

Ever since Pace confirmed the existence of mysterious factors, everyone has become a little more cautious.

There are civilizations with electronic and mechanical technology systems, and of course there may be civilizations with supernatural technology systems. If the two encounter each other's equipment, they will most likely be blinded.

I can’t use the other party’s machine when I open it, and I can’t understand it when I take it apart.

"Okay, stop talking and get down quickly."

Pace ruthlessly interrupted his teammates' thoughts and stood at the gap, secretly regretting it.

I shouldn't have mentioned that more. It's so good now that my teammates have to wonder if everything is magic.

The difference between psychic energy and magic is not the slightest bit different.

Sighing again, she reached out with her handheld light to illuminate the road ahead. The ramp sloped downwards, with a gentle slope. There were no steps, and there were things like large skateboards on both sides.

The reason can be imagined.

Mollusks have no feet and certainly no need for steps. A skateboard may be something similar to a mobility scooter.

"Wow ~ these murals..."

Team member Xing Lai's attention was obviously not on the road, but he immediately went to rub against the wall.

"As expected of molluscs, their aesthetics and artistic style are really...hard to describe in words."

Pace Elsa followed her position towards the wall that was illuminated alone.

At first glance, it gives people a dazzling feeling, the mural is like a chaotic pile of tentacles tangled together.

The engraved lines are rarely straight lines, but are mostly various curved or even twisted patterns, interspersed in an irregular manner.

Obviously, most Gudu people's brain circuits may not be able to understand this kind of alien art.

But...there are always surprises.

"It's so beautiful! I seem to see the trajectory of a huge planet changing."

Xinglai suddenly had a flash of inspiration and exclaimed, the meaning of graffiti is very complicated, just like a child's ramblings, vague like personal imagination.

Before the subjective consciousness can react, the subconscious mind blurts out the thoughts directly.

"Is it expressing knowledge of astronomy?"

From Bana's perspective, the scene before her was horrifying.

Xing Lai, who was 'sick' again, almost leaned against the wall. His limbs were pressed against the mural and he randomly touched the metal dents. His eyes were dull and distracted, and he was mumbling something.

The terminology of a game suddenly came to her mind.

‘SAN CHECK, if you succeed, you will die normally, if you fail, you will be transformed into an indescribable creature’

He stepped forward and tugged on her clothes with some worry.

"Xinglai... are you okay? No matter how much you like it, you can't take it off and lick it, it will freeze your tongue."

"ah?"

After regaining consciousness, Xing Lai touched the mural normally, thinking that Ji You was falling in love with him again.

Besides, who would lick these dirty murals!

"Don't try to persecute my reputation! How can you, a muscular creature in the art desert, understand the epic feeling of this collision between novel art and old thinking?"

"..."

This time Bana remained silent and did not make trouble with her.

Xinglai was confused, why didn't he talk back?

He lightly kicked Bana. "Are you mute?"

Snapped!

The sound of heavy objects hitting the wall.

"Captain, let's go. Someone is very motivated to stay here and become a master of alien art."

Bana beamed with smiles and took the lead actively.

Most people chuckled and followed suit one after another.

Aisha looked at the team members' outrageous actions and was speechless. Under Pace's eyes, she walked to the corner alone and 'buckled' the person out.

Dragging her to follow the team, he lectured her: "Pi! It's just you!"

"Stop being stunned, get up quickly!"

"Oh..." Xinglai's stupid expression disappeared in an instant, he turned around and got up, patting the non-existent dust on his clothes.

"Tell me what you saw in the painting." Aisha asked Xing Lai to explain.

She still cares about Xing Lai's imagination. Although it is unreliable most of the time, it is also a sign of high inspiration.

A flash of genius and good luck can replace 99% of hard work.

In this way, an exploration episode did not take up too much time. The two of them stayed at the end of the team.

.

Whenever a new layer of gates is dismantled or a new discovery is made, the communication will remain silent and concentrate on work.
