The rectangular obelisk easily reminds people of tombstones, but there are no words on the obelisk. It looks like an ordinary stone stele. The top is gilded and looks quite luxurious, but there is no other decoration except the gilding.*
There are similar stone tablets in China, the most famous of which is Wu Zetian's wordless tablet. Legend has it that because Wu Zetian, the first empress, felt uneasy, she put up a wordless tablet to let the world judge her merits and demerits. Then this place
What is the purpose of placing such a wordless stone tablet in the basement of a otaku's home?
Merits and faults?
Or merit...
The merits of monsters!
If this is the case, then the entire tunnel is a Shinto, a Shinto for worshiping miracles, and they have already entered into the etiquette of worship.
Bu Shuchang slowly approached, and there was an unusual coldness around the stele, as if he suddenly walked into a freezer. The invisible cold air continuously penetrated from the stele and hit the ground due to its excessive density. The biting coldness went up along the specially made combat boots and escaped from the trousers.
The cold air penetrated into every pore and penetrated into the vertebrae like iron needles, making the person's legs weak and almost collapse to the ground.
This should be more than just a stone tablet.
With this thought in mind, Bu Shuchang put her fingers on the edge of the stone tablet, but a sudden pain caused her to hurriedly pull away her hand.
Her finger was cut open, and the edge of the stone tablet was as sharp as a freshly sharpened steel knife. But at this time, the stone tablet changed, and liquid slowly seeped out from the gold-plated part on the top, which was dripping.
The blood, the unique smell of iron filings seemed to have been left there for a long time, which was terrifying. The sticky red slowly flowed down the stone monument, just like a spray paint gun spitting out large pools of red paint because it was overfilled. Immediately afterwards
The more it sprays, the spray gun turns into a fountain. A large amount of scarlet fills the ground like an ocean, and the height... approaches about two centimeters.
There are only about five liters of blood in an adult's body. Even if he suffers multiple injuries, the amount of bleeding is limited. Unless all the blood in the body is deliberately drained, the blood can only come from people in their forties, fifty or several.
Hundreds of people.
Bu Shuchang bent over and picked up a handful with his hands. It was indeed blood, but it was different from what he imagined. Everyone else also discovered this problem.
Regardless of whether it is skin or fabric, even combat boots will be stained with sticky scarlet in this case. But they are standing in this vast ocean, not to mention that there is no contamination when they lift the boots, even if they try to touch them out of curiosity
Nothing happens.
In addition to the unpleasant smell and the almost confined space, everyone felt a sense of nausea.
"Machine gun ready." Bu Shuchang stepped on the blood and pulled Mary to the back. "Fire."
The Gatling heavy machine gun roared instantly. In an instant, dozens of brass eggshells fell into the blood. The scalding high temperature steamed the blood and burned it into circles of small white smoke. It was just incomprehensible.
The stone tablet remained intact under such firepower, and even the fired warheads disappeared.
"Emma...Emma...can you get it?" Bu Shuchang asked into the headset.
"It should be electromagnetic shielding. Since entering this basement, all communication equipment has lost its function." Andrea regretfully took off the headset and threw it at her feet.
Not only is it the basement, there is no use even if they go out now. Just like the game script arrangement, they will encounter electromagnetic interference after entering the basement, and then they have to break out of the encirclement like headless flies with guns.
"What did you think of?"
"Have you seen "2001: A Space Odyssey"? There is also a black obelisk in it. In the plot of the movie, the black obelisk is a warning sign. It can be regarded as a higher civilization than human beings. It is placed in the solar system to warn of breakthroughs in human civilization.
alarm." Andrea said.
"You mean this obelisk will transport us to a certain place?" Bu Shuchang asked.
"I can't imagine it, but if there happens to be the BOSS room behind this obelisk." Andrea smiled, "That would be it!"
"Would you like to try it?" Mary was ready. She looked at the blood and became thirsty.
"I think safety is the most important thing." Andrea listened to Mary speak using the translator, feeling that she had underestimated the princess's courage.
"I think so too!" Bu Shuchang nodded, "With the map Emma gave me, there's still a long way to go. If you don't find anything ahead, it's not too late to come back."
"Let's go then!" Andrea waved her hand.
But just as he was about to turn around, Andrea's body shook violently, the reddish color in his pupils suddenly disappeared, and his heartbeat rate increased rapidly... A new smell appeared.
The white thing poked out from the black obelisk like a ghost's hand, bypassing the messy things soaked in blood, and rushed towards the vital signs.
In a hurry, various deafening sounds continued to emerge from the muzzle, and hot flames sprayed on these white things, but had no effect at all. Countless gray gases flew out of the blood, and huge spider-like claws were derived.
As soon as the limbs moved, the white stuff immediately wrapped around everyone's body.
"Professor, something happened!" the monitor shouted, "The team has an abnormal situation in the basement, and someone has disappeared."
"What did you say?" Wilk opened his eyes and stared
"Four members of the team have disappeared, and an abnormal situation occurred in the basement."
Wilk walked quickly to the instrument, approached the monitor, and stared at the red dot on the screen: "There are still three left...What happened? Who can tell me what happened?" <
/p>
"Reporting that a message wave was received from the emergency help equipment on the team members."
"Where? Tell me quickly!" Wilk turned around and directed the rescue team's dispatch, "GO! GO! GO! Children, move quickly, our partners need our rescue."
"In...in Edinburgh!" the monitor said, his voice getting lower and lower.
"Where?" Wilk's eyes widened in disbelief.
"In Edinburgh! And...and the transmission signal has been interrupted."
Wilk swallowed, lit up a cigar, sucked it hard, and slowly spit it out. The nicotine relieved his nervousness, but his head was empty, so he had no idea.
Edinburgh is in Scotland, and they are now in London. How could they find a signal there?
"How many people are left now?"
"Report, all disappeared."
Wilk closed his eyes, stretched out his old hand towards the darkness ahead, slowly opened his mouth, and the sound he made had a heavy echo, like a chant or a chant, but in fact it was his own prayer.
.
Wilk stabbed the cigar on the back of his hand, and the hot pain made him sober. In that team, there were students he loved deeply, and they were also his most outstanding students. There is no shortage of heroes in the history of Fountain College
, but most of the heroes are dead, and fighting against original sin is never fun.
The red dot disappears on the screen, the signal is interrupted, and life or death is unknown...
Wilk gritted his teeth, took off his coat and shouted behind him: "Reserve team, rescue team, follow me to the subway station, I want to see what the hell is that makes my students disappear."<
