The real meaning of the restricted area stone tablet is actually a tombstone.
Everyone present is a representative of the major forces. Naturally, they are not simple characters. They have been dealing with the restricted area for so long and have a complete understanding of it. However, not all information can be fooled. If this sentence comes from someone else,
If you say it from your mouth, they will never look down upon you.
...However, the person who said this was Xue Hongyu.
It's Xue Hongyu who is considered to be born to decrypt forbidden areas.
At this moment when everyone was still looking at the restricted area with a blank look, what she said was almost equivalent to the truth.
Everyone held their breath, silently waiting for Xue Hongyu's next words.
And Xue Hongyu had no intention of selling it off, saying: "I once sent people to excavate a small restricted area for half a year, with a depth of more than a thousand meters, and finally found something special."
"What?"
At this moment, a childish voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone was stunned, then realized that a sleepy little girl had appeared in the conference room at some point. Although Xue Hongyu had just been talking about such important information, the little girl seemed to have been napping.
The girl yawned while thinking: "I seem to have heard someone say that there is something under the restricted area before, but I don't know what it is specifically..."
Everyone was still confused by the sudden appearance of this girl. After hearing this, they immediately lost their composure. Listening to what this girl meant...did she know that there was an abnormality in the restricted area earlier than Xue Hongyu?
Listen to what someone said, who said it?
"I remember this child, it seems his name is Yaya, he also appeared yesterday..."
Gradually, everyone gradually remembered who this girl was - it was said that she was a member of an abandoned disciple organization called Xin Ya, and she could also be said to be the most mysterious one among the people attending the meeting. After all, she was too young.
And she always seems to be shrouded in a layer of fog, making it easy for people to ignore her.
Seeing everyone's gazes on her, He Shang patted Ya Ya's head and reminded, "Don't talk at this time. Just listen to the sister on the stage."
Unexpectedly, Yaya knocked his hand off and said dissatisfied: "Bald guy, why don't you let me talk?"
God is so bald! It’s all this woman Yan’s fault for talking nonsense!
The corner of He Shang's mouth twitched, but fortunately Yan spoke in time: "You really shouldn't speak at this time, it's a matter of politeness."
Although Yaya is a little girl, she seems to particularly like beautiful women, so Yan's words are more effective than He Shang's. She quickly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said happily: "Okay, I will listen to my sister.
polite!"
But the key problem is that this woman Yan obviously wears a mask all day long, and her temper and mouth are very bad. I don’t know how this little Douding can tell that she is a beauty...
While He Shang was slandering in his heart, he glanced coldly at the people who had been staring here and warned them not to look at this place again.
At this moment, Chen Yin in the wheelchair suddenly said: "I don't know if you are really stupid or pretending to be stupid. Since the stone monument in the restricted area is a tombstone, it is naturally not difficult to imagine the things dug under the restricted area... Of course
It's a corpse."
Xue Hongyu on the stage first took a deep look at Ya Ya, then nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed a corpse."
Although they had already guessed in their hearts, when these words actually came out of Xue Hongyu's mouth, everyone still felt a palpitation in their hearts.
"It turns out to be a corpse..."
Only Yaya muttered in a low voice, looking very disappointed.
"Whose body?" Yan calmly asked.
Xue Hongyu did not answer directly, but said: "Under the restricted area is a huge stone platform, and there is a nearly broken door in the center of the stone platform."
"According to the reports of the excavators, there seemed to be no movement behind the door, and there was no response from the surrounding objects that clearly resembled restrictions. Although I was unable to go to the site for on-site inspection, according to my speculation, this door should be used for sealing.
Those subjects whose existence is unknown."
Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"As for the reason why there is no movement behind the door,
I think it’s because the being sealed behind the door is dead.”
"Dead?" Everyone's expressions changed slightly.
"That's right." Xue Hongyu said seriously, "Not all lives are as incomprehensible as gods. It is not a strange thing for some existences to die because they cannot withstand the long-term seal. There is indeed no breath of life behind the door.
, what the excavators at this time have repeatedly verified is."
"Let me speculate this way - the danger level of the restricted area may be ranked by the strength of the existence sealed behind the door, because the stronger the existence can provide more energy feedback to the restricted area, and the restricted area creatures inside will naturally also
It’s even more dangerous... so I think there’s a high probability that the seal in the S-class restricted area is a god.”
"Of course, there are a lot of S-level restricted areas, and they cannot all be gods, so this inference is yet to be determined. But at least for those low-risk restricted areas that usually have nothing unusual, the reason why there is no abnormality, I think it is most likely because of the seal.
Existence is dead."
When everyone was silent, Chen Yin planned to say: "Compared to this, I am more interested in what the corpse is under the restricted area."
This was also what other people thought, but they could see that Xue Hongyu didn't seem to want to reveal the identity of the body, so they didn't ask out loud.
But it's strange...is there anything else that can't be said?
"There is a huge stone pillar standing on the edge of the stone platform. I don't know what kind of material it is made of. It has an incredible length and extends all the way out of the ground. According to confirmation, the end of the stone pillar is connected to the stone tablet of the restricted area."
Xue Hongyu seemed to have not heard Chen Yin's words and said to himself, "In other words, the forbidden area stone tablet and the entire stone platform are connected together, so it is completely impossible to remove. As for whether there are other strange things,
What exactly is the meaning of the stone pillars cannot be confirmed yet.”
Everyone suppressed their curiosity and listened silently.
Since Xue Hongyu was unwilling to directly tell the identity of the body, it was impossible for them to force the other party to pursue the question.
But at this moment, Xue Hongyu suddenly spoke: "The corpse was found nearly a hundred meters below the stone platform. According to the judgment of the excavator, the number of corpses is quite large and cannot be counted with the naked eye. But even if
The most conservative estimate is that the number of corpses exceeds 10,000."
More than 10,000 corpses...
Everyone was shocked.
Xue Hongyu looked at everyone for a while and said: "As for the identity of the corpse that you are all concerned about, I can also tell you..."
"They are human beings." She paused for a moment, "...human beings just like us."
"What!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room changed their expressions, especially Lu Zhan, who had a horrified expression on his face, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
He Shang looked solemn and said: "In other words... there are tens of thousands of human corpses buried under the restricted area used to seal the gods?"
It has to be said that this news is undoubtedly a devastating blow to everyone at this moment.
In the future that Yan sees, there will be a battle between humans and gods. The two sides are undoubtedly in a hostile relationship, so they can only place their hope on the existence of the forbidden zone that once sealed the gods.
However, judging from the current situation, the existence behind the restricted area seems to be full of malice towards human beings, otherwise they would never kill tens of thousands of human beings - and this not only means that the chance to find hope from them has been shattered, but also means that in addition to
In addition to gods, humans may have a second terrible enemy.
Everyone's hearts felt as if a huge boulder had suddenly been pressed against them.
Feeling restless, Chen Yin asked, "Can I ask how those corpses died?"
Xue Hongyu glanced at him and said calmly: "Those who were killed, and they all died tragically, probably died in the same way as the humans who were sacrificed in Jiye City."
Hearing this, the last hope in everyone's hearts was shattered.
They were originally thinking that these humans just died of natural causes, and that the death itself might have no connection with the existence behind the restricted area. After all, there was such a large tombstone outside the restricted area, which was obviously a memorial.
But judging from what Xue Hongyu just said,
, they seem to be simply used as sacrifices, and their role is probably to maintain the existence of the restricted area...
"Currently, we have not dug through the ground of the second restricted area, so we cannot confirm whether each restricted area has a similar layout, nor whether there are numerous human corpses buried under each restricted area."
Xue Hongyu said solemnly, "However, once it is confirmed that this is the case, it means that our situation will become very dangerous."
"It only takes a rough estimate to know that there are at least hundreds of restricted areas now. If there are more than tens of thousands of human corpses under each restricted area, it also means that the number of human casualties in the past has exceeded one million - and this
It’s just a conservative estimate.”
"According to normal understanding, the greater the number of sacrifices, the stronger the power can be obtained. In other words, the higher the danger level, the more corpses buried under the restricted area... You must know what we have excavated before.
It’s just a small D-class restricted area.”
There was a dead silence in the conference room.
Everyone suddenly understood why Xue Hongyu was unwilling to reveal the identity of the body just now——
Because behind this series of information... what it brings is deep despair.
Once the information is confirmed that there are tens of thousands of human corpses buried under each restricted area, it means that the existence that created the restricted area can never have a friendly relationship with humans - they can only be enemies of humans, and they are mortal enemies.
I was still saying that my enemy's enemy is my friend... But judging from the current situation, it may be more likely that the gods and the beings behind the restricted area will join forces to kill all the humans first. After all, both sides obviously regard them as random.
The object of killing.
Hearing such heavy news, even He Shang couldn't help but feel upset. He turned his head and glanced at Yaya, wondering if such a child would be too scared after hearing such news. Who knew that the latter would actually fall asleep?
, and seemed to be sleeping quite soundly.
Everyone in the audience had different expressions. After hearing that the corpses buried under the restricted area were tens of thousands of humans, Lu Zhan remained stunned in his seat, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xu Han on the side seemed to know what he was thinking. He stared at him for a moment, shook his head and said, "It seems that your expectations have been disappointed."
Lu Zhan said nothing.
Xu Han continued: "But to be honest, when I heard that gods are terrifying creatures, I had the same expectations as you just now in my mind - I didn't mean to ridicule you, after all, we are all human beings
, and human beings have always been creatures that like to have expectations for others.”
"You are wrong, I don't have expectations for anyone."
Lu Zhan shook his head slightly, and then murmured in a low voice: "No wonder Dr. Xue said he couldn't give an answer easily..."
Seeing that everyone had almost digested the news, Xue Hongyu on the stage said: "The reason why I didn't tell you the identity of the body right away was not because I was worried that you would fall into despair - that was not me.
The reason why I have to consider this is because I have some doubts about my own judgment."
Everyone looked up at her, not quite understanding what the other person meant.
"From my many previous conclusions, you should all be able to hear that my view of the restricted area is more that it is beneficial to us humans. After all, only living humans can enter and exit the restricted area at will, or since the emergence of the restricted area,
Humanity quickly acquired extraordinary power and continued to develop... In short, all this shows one thing——"
"That is, for humans, the emergence of the forbidden zone has more advantages than disadvantages. This is a turning point, so I have always been inclined to believe that the existence behind the forbidden zone is something that humans can cooperate with."
Everyone recalled carefully for a moment, and it seemed that Xue Hongyu had indeed meant this before.
I see... So when she learned that there were actually a lot of human corpses buried under the restricted area, she was probably as shocked as they were, and she was already unsure about the position of the people behind the restricted area.
After a moment of silence, Xue Hongyu continued: "First of all, we must make it clear that no matter whether the restricted area appears or not, the gods will eventually destroy mankind. This cannot be changed - so you might as well imagine that if the restricted area really does not exist,
Has it appeared that, according to the original development trajectory of mankind, is it possible to cope with gods with the power of technology alone?"
"The answer is no, and we all have a deep understanding of the power of extraordinary power."
After the words fell, someone was heard sighing: "But even now that we have obtained extraordinary power, we are still powerless against the gods... Moreover, when the restricted area first appeared, too many lives were taken away, and the number of humans was almost reduced by half.
, and... Dr. Xue, how can you be sure that the appearance of gods in the future has nothing to do with the emergence of forbidden areas?"
In his judgment, if the restricted area had not appeared in the first place, then the future of the gods' arrival would not have happened.
"Oh."
But Chen Yin suddenly sarcastically said, "In my opinion, it is a stupid idea to use the past to determine what the future will be like - since something has happened that cannot be changed, then we must be prepared to face the future.
Prepare instead of dreaming about the relationship between the past and the future.”
Perhaps because the future was too unexpected for Chen Yin, he was too lazy to pretend to be as gentle and elegant as before.
"I am just denying that the benefits of the restricted area outweigh the disadvantages for human beings! If the restricted area had not appeared, we would not be facing this desperate situation now."
"It's so stupid. If you didn't want the forbidden zone to appear, you could have prevented it from coming in the first place - but you couldn't do it. Besides, no matter whether the forbidden zone appears or not, the coming of the gods is bound to be a foregone conclusion. And with the previous speed of human technological development, by then
It is certainly impossible to create a weapon that can resist the gods."
Chen Yin sneered, "So when time is tight, only something incomprehensible like extraordinary power can bring us a rapid increase in strength. From this point of view, the restricted area is definitely more beneficial than harmful to human beings. Otherwise, we
Perhaps the gods have become extinct without even realizing their existence!"
The man's face turned green and white. He was obviously hit by the series of bad news. He actually began to think about such a boring problem and said forcefully: "But I just said that if the restricted area does not appear, then God
Maybe it won’t come! It’s the restricted area first and then the crisis later!”
"That kind of thing is impossible."
At this moment, Yan's calm voice sounded, "In the past, we often found that there were many unknown gaps in the long history of mankind. Human beings seemed to appear suddenly. This is obviously impossible to explain with science.
.”
"But I think you already understand that this kind of thing is not unexplainable. The reason why human beings suddenly appeared after a blank history is not that they skipped certain processes, but that there were many people who existed before us.
era."
"It's just sad that those eras were erased by unknown beings."
"Now that I think about it, the only one who can erase an era...maybe is the gods."
Everyone was silent.
"Yes, gods have such power..."
Yan quietly glanced at everyone in the conference room, looking at the expressions of fear or worry on their faces, and said lightly, "Every era will die, so our era will inevitably be destroyed by the gods one day in the near future.
erasure, this cannot be changed.”
"So now you can think about it again. For us... is the emergence of the restricted area an advantage or a disadvantage."
