Covered with damp moss, the scattered stones were huge and became my foothold. Before this place was abandoned, the complex of buildings they formed was once magnificent.

Their builders once exhausted all their strength to erect these stone pillars, hoping that they would stand forever; and now, they are still fulfilling their obligations nobly, but their builders are no longer visible.

"Before you, there were people who came here..."

The person responsible for the narration was a huge stone statue. It had a sarcastic face and slowly explained to me at 0.5 times speed, "But to be honest, I'm not used to their way of communication..."

The stone statue's expression remained unchanged. He turned sideways and tore apart a patch of vines on the side of the mountain, but did not completely leave the place where it had stood for a long time.

It was filled with more mobile combat vehicles, the barrels were bent, the armor was broken, and the cockpit was squeezed into a narrow space.

"...They also talked to you?"

Isn't this stone man black when cut open? He killed so many people as if nothing happened.

"Yes, these cute little guys come in different sizes, and their mouths are basically round... They can emit light and heat but have a single tone... You see, this is left behind by their sound generator..."

The giant palm covered with moss was also spread out in front of me, allowing me to clearly see the bullet marks left by the gun - if these 40mm ammunition can be considered ammunition, then the M79 40mm grenade launcher can definitely be considered a gun.

.

"The little guy's pronunciation was noisy and sharp, with a slight rhythm... I changed sixteen languages ​​and couldn't successfully communicate with them... I had to communicate in their own way, but they didn't move..."

The stone statue man scratched his head, "I can still vaguely remember their appearance, because they are quite similar to the ones created from iron rock. Now that I think about it, maybe their language... neither expresses sounds nor expresses meaning, it is a kind of

Frequency waves?”

I couldn't help but take another look at the crypt that was vacated after the stone figure stood up. There were overgrown weeds, but there was muddy shallow water flowing slowly, as if quietly flowing out of a hidden spring, and then slowly flowing towards the cracks in the ground.

...This guy is so huge that even the 14.5mm large-caliber sniper rifle ammunition is useless.

In addition to the remains of tanks and artillery pieces, there were also many white bones in camouflage uniforms scattered inside. The empty skull frame looked up at the sky for a long time, and the black hole was full of confusion. He clearly drove a tank and carried artillery, but he was actually killed by a stone man.

The group is destroyed?

"Well...according to my humble opinion, these people may not be here to 'communicate'. In this state, they are basically dead..."

Well, if "military exchange" can be considered "exchange", then military spies can also be considered messengers of peace. I am willing to apologize to the Ptolemaic Legion.

"Hmm... I don't understand... I buried them in the ground, hoping that the spring water would nourish them and wake up again, but there was always no movement..."

Well, in fact, the resurrection of the dead depends on equal exchange, not digging a hole and burying some soil to make a number of one, two, three, four, five.

But the stone statue man, who is good at saving others by himself, didn't understand. It was silent for a long time before it made a dull vibrating sound, "Stranger, why are you here?"

The white bones all over the ground proved that this stone man was a threat of force, indicating that if you seek death here, you will really die. After a simple judgment, I knew that I should be careful with the stone man to prevent it from being dug into the ground and to nourish the land.

of flower fertilizer blended into one piece.

"I don't know how I got here."

I sat down and confessed, "One second I was in a strange place watching others making trouble, and the next second I was thrown here. Looking at the speed of the scene change, I seriously doubt that it was decided by God throwing dice.

.”

After listening to the confused words, the stone statue man neither asked where it was nor was he curious about my purpose, but he explained to me seriously: "If this God means God, then God never throws dice."

.Everything can be found from the root, and then it will be reflected in the results..."

...Is this a concern for carbon-based organisms?

Oh, sorry, the stone man is considered a silicon-based creature. Maybe its head is filled not with brains but with magma, which is why it has such hot and hot thoughts.

Besides, even if I tried to deflect the wave-particle doublet Einstein and the quantum master Bohr and decided that God does not throw dice, then I would not have guessed that God likes to play with marbles and can bounce them extremely far.

!

"Then I can't answer it."

I decided to lie down on the sunny stone and show that I was just an ordinary national first-class protected waste.

"Feel sorry……"

Prosperous vines and creeping plants climbed through the gravel at the feet of the stone statue, forming a perfect green carpet. However, it still did not completely leave the crypt, but just moved a little to the side.

A long silence.

Regarding this stone statue with a clear idea, I said helplessly: "Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. By the way, where did you come from?"

The huge stone statue groaned, and the moss on the rock surface turned into deep wrinkles, "Well... I have been here since I was created... I have never arrived, and I have never left..."

I was a little surprised: "Are you the guard here? Not many people would leave a stone giant to guard the door..."

Is your creator a one-eyed dragon? He is still holding a broken branch in his nagging hand?

The stone man shook his head, "I don't know... they left after I was created. They told me that someone would come to me and ask me to guard here all the time..."

The sparkling bay is quiet and natural, like a gentle arm surrounding the sky. The light is her skin and the broken shadow is her necklace. But surprisingly, facing the stone pillars standing all over the mountain, the tenderness suddenly turns into infatuation.

of useless effort.

"Who are you waiting for?" I asked.

The stone statue hummed sadly.

"I don't know... The Creator left here by boat a long time ago. The Creator also told me that they would return here by boat through the waves and come to me again... At that time, I

This will end the mission..."

"But I've been waiting for a long, long time. Only you and your fellow Ironhide tribe members came here and talked to me..."

The stone statue was silent for a long time this time, as if it was a difficult question about what is "something" and what is "nothing".

Finally, it said: "This is everything. The Creator told me that their forgotten stories are written on the stone pillars, and they will be found by later generations. By then, everything will make sense..."

Good guy, listen to what you have to say, like what you have to say, the last time I heard such nutritious words was the last time. Who can tell me, what is the difference between such a long paragraph and nothing?

I said even more helplessly: "Have you really never seen the creator come back here? Nor has a ship come back?"

The stone man thought for a long time and then said slowly: "Yes. A ship floated here..."

"There was still a little life on the boat, but he couldn't speak and was dying. After giving him some water, I sent him out of here..."

"Oh, send them away..." I didn't react for a moment, "Wait a minute, what did you just say?! Can you send people away?!"

The stone man responded coldly: "Don't be excited, stranger. I gave water to the weak life, and he survived. I irrigated these iron-skinned creatures, but there was no sprout. So even if I could send him away, there was nothing I could do.

Help you travel far..."

What kind of logic is this? Is the essence of the game HD reset and the power enhanced to strengthen the strategic version?

If you give me a sip of water, believe it or not, I can run, jump, and walk a path I have never imagined before. Let me show you!

I wanted to get angry, but I couldn't help but glance at the "Tin Woodmen" who were dying, and continued to ask patiently: "This is neither a city nor a treasure, and I'm afraid no one will come back. What do you mean?"

None. What are you guarding?"

This time, the stone statue man finally showed his joy, "They will come back, they will definitely..."

It has no smile, but a gentle breeze is blowing throughout the valley, and the blowing sweet fragrance brings countless wild and colorful dreams. Some pale yellow lights and slightly strange ripples appear in the bay, just like water

The irresistible rapids below are revealing some strange sights that do not exist in this world.

"My waiting is to ensure that everything is 'nothing'. If you really want to leave, just come here..."

The stone figure lowered his head and finally stood up from the hidden stone cave.

A pool of clear spring water appeared at its feet, which was so pure that even the brilliance of the full moon could not compare with it.

With just one glance, I was deeply fascinated by it, and I didn't care whether the experience before me was a deranged hallucination, a dream, magic, or a fairy tale world; but I was determined to gaze into the spring at all costs.

Magnificent brilliance and splendor.

"This is the treasure I protect... the stranger... the door is inside..."

The stone statue roared emotionally, and the entire valley resounded with a bagpipe-like melody, wandering past the collapsed and moss-covered stone ruins in the valley.

But it wasn't spring water - I realized this after I stretched out my fingers and touched the hard and cold surface like a polished mirror.

The fluctuating spring water shattered the shadows and skylight, reflecting a few scattered clouds that dotted the sky, but did not illuminate my face. Only a pale water mist shimmered like a ghost, exuding an abominable smell, accompanied by care.

The piled-up remains of generations of dead Lemi legions emitted the smell of corpses.

The poems of the stone statues sounded leisurely and resounded throughout the sky.

“The stunning beauty of my motherland is dear to my heart.

Like an ancient boat floating on the Delos River,

Dancing across the fragrant sea,

A wandering waiting for tired travelers to return from afar.

But this time the steering oar has been deflected into the vast distance,

I see billions of universes roaring,

The void planet rolls aimlessly in it,

Rotating in madness with dimensional confusion,

Wipe away the name that no one knows and will eventually be forgotten..."

The water surface ripples slowly, the mist dissipates along with the chanting, and a picture gradually emerges.

The sight itself was as simple as the horror it brought, because it was just that - I didn't see the claustrophobic scene that one should witness in a black spring.

What I saw at that moment was incomparable to the fear caused by anything I had experienced before. The bizarre meaning of the scene in the water also completely came to my mind.

It was a star field that was darker than darkness and older than ancient. I finally got a glimpse of the hidden ultimate door. Following the stern of a comet, my spirit wandered in the undivided ancient universe. A series of

The neatly equipped stellar fleet is arrayed in front of the black hole, accumulating laser beams, particle beams, microwave beams, plasma beams, and sound beams. The energy muzzles are emitting extremely dangerous charged light...

But the black hole gradually spreads out, and all the visible, invisible, ragged, plush, dazzling, dark, and all kinds of blasphemous gods are flying in space again, emitting dazzling high-energy particle light, pulling the prominences wantonly
