Pollution throughout the territory

Xia Ren's sadness did not come from the body lying on the desk, but from the environment in the study.

So familiar, yet so strange.

He knew that the body was not Ebon, but he had forgotten who Ebon was.

"Is it a memory that has been tampered with by the system?"

Just like why Lily was so familiar with this building, he couldn't find a suitable proof for the reason.

This feeling of being wrapped in fog and unable to see external objects clearly made him a little restless.

Xia Ren quickly stabilized his emotions. He walked to the desk and slowly lifted the body.

The corpse's hair was black and his face was typical of Dongzhou people. The corpse was wearing the work clothes of a laboratory researcher. Xia Ren saw his nameplate, which read "Professor Yue Yongjie."

The skin of the corpse was yellowish and dull, and the lips were chapped. He should have been dehydrated or starved to death. However, there was still some warmth left on the surface of his body. When he opened his eyes, the lens was still clear and rigor mortis had not occurred. Xia Ren speculated that his Time of death should be within a few hours.

"But how is this possible?"

Xia Ren couldn't figure it out. Didn't Yue Yongjie disappear with his students two years ago?

And along the way, he didn't find any food or fresh water near the sea, and there were no traces of life in the building. If he died just now, how did he survive in the past two years?

Xia Ren's eyes moved to the desk. There was a shabby book on the spot where the body was lying just now.

"Is this just..."

With his heart beating a little faster, Xia Ren slowly stretched out his hand and took the book in his hand.

The book itself is quite old, and no matter how meticulously it is preserved, it cannot avoid damage.

Its cover is wrapped in oil paper, and it feels a little slippery to the touch, as if it's covered in other people's sweat.

There was no text on the cover, it was just a blank slate. Xia Ren calmed his heartbeat, and after getting ready, he cautiously opened the first page.

Because when he was looking for the ghoul cub Zhang Xiang, he had the experience of reading the magic book of the alien sect, which caused his sanity to decline and be contaminated, so he could not be too careful.

The pages of the book had turned yellow, and the material had become quite fragile. Xia Ren saw the strange text symbols on the first page again.

He didn't know it, but he tried to understand it.

His brain suddenly felt swollen and painful, and there was a slight sound of squirming insects in his ears. He knew it was an hallucination. His sanity was already declining, and maybe the pollution level was rising.

But atypical insect phobia must find a solution, and the solution is recorded in this book.

He must read and understand the knowledge inside!

Even if the price is pollution.

In a daze, the field of vision in front of him was becoming narrower, and the pain in his head was getting more and more serious. His eyes unconsciously wanted to move away from those symbols, unwilling to look at them any more.

Xia Ren gritted his teeth, sweat dripped from his forehead, and forced himself to stare at the symbols.

Suddenly, as if a thread broke in his mind, endless knowledge poured into his mind, and chaotic sounds echoed rapidly in his ears, like a nightmare, and his consciousness was lost in it...

"Kids, count how many are these?"

"I have two apples, give you one..."

"b, p, m, f... pronounced as 'person'..."

"Goose goose, Qu Xiangxiang..."

"Bai Shao's... the right place..."

"Xiao Hong and Xiao Ming go to the bookstore..."

"Last year on this day, the human face in this door..."

"The chrysanthemums in Beihai are blooming..."

It was as if another person's memory was forcibly merged with him, and countless scattered pictures flashed before his eyes at extremely fast speeds like slides.

This knowledge was unheard of and completely different from the cultural education he had received since childhood. It was completely another huge and complex new system, like a flood, constantly washing away his reason.

Xia Ren stood there, holding the open book in his hands, his eyes dull.

Lily looked up at him for a while, feeling a little bored, so she took steps and murmured to herself:

"One, two, three, wooden man!"

She stopped suddenly, then turned her head to look at Xia Ren, and found that he was still motionless.

Lily grinned to herself, then the smile on her face slowly faded, becoming a little disappointed.

"well……"

She sat down on the floor, holding her chubby little face in her hands, not knowing why she was unhappy.

There was silence in the study for a long time.

"The Diggers."

Xia Ren suddenly spoke, using a strange pronunciation to say the text recorded on the page, which was also the name of the book.

After vaguely absorbing the knowledge that appeared in his mind, he found that he understood that these symbols were also a kind of words.

However, knowledge does not come in a vacuum.

Xia Ren had a vague guess in his heart that maybe... this was something he had already mastered.

But what he just accepted has no similarity at all in the human history of Blue Star. The language and writing system are so mature that it is amazing. The creatures that use this kind of writing may live in a society that is more mature than Blue Star. Star's current technological level is even more advanced.

"Did this once be human civilization?"

Xia Ren couldn't help but remember the biology and history knowledge he had learned.

The recorded history of human beings totals four thousand years. For thousands of years, archaeologists have been trying to trace back the history four thousand years ago, but to no avail. Human beings seemed to have appeared on the Blue Star overnight. Historical researchers have explored this huge planet with a total area of ​​1.9 billion square kilometers, but they have found no traces of human fossils or human group activities from four thousand years ago.

Some scholars have speculated that based on genetic similarities, humans are derived from certain apes that mutated genes to adapt to the environment, but this reason has not been recognized by the academic community.

Therefore, there is no specific conclusion on the issue of human origins until now.

If the knowledge he just integrated also comes from human civilization, then this may be a civilization that has suffered extinction.

But in this case, a new question arises. Who wrote these books recorded in special words?

Xia Ren couldn't figure it out, so he could only keep this idea in his heart for the time being, waiting for time to study it again.

The most urgent task at hand is to see what knowledge is recorded in this book.

Turning to the next page, Xia Ren found that the record above seemed to be a poem.

"Grave of the Sea"

Their spiers are deeper than our deepest tombs

The light seen by human eyes illuminates them

Only wingless worms can travel to and from the tomb

The tomb lies beneath the sky and the waves."

Xia Ren remembered that the sentences whispered by Patient No. 3 happened to be gentle to this poem.

He found the right book, it was this book!

Xia Ren suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to read.

A terrifying species gradually became clear in his consciousness.

It’s the end of the month, everyone who has votes, please vote for the white cat!
