i'm not human

When Kong Yan woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.He looked at the familiar decoration in front of him, and blinked a little blankly.There seemed to be many scenes in the dream, as if there was still a voice talking all the time, he told himself not to forget, but the moment he opened his eyes, all the memories about the dream were erased from his mind.

His memory still stays in the ancient sacrificial scene he saw in the cave, and by the way, there is also the golden-red phantom that rushed towards him before he lost consciousness.

"you're awake?"

Shi Chen's voice came from beside his ears, pulling Kong Yan back to reality. He followed the voice slightly slowly, opened his mouth, and felt that his throat was extremely dry, "Shi Chen?" The voice was like It's like an iron saw grinding wood.But fortunately, he was not dumb, and Kong Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but the next second, after his senses returned to normal, half of his body was frightened and froze because of the cold and hard touch in his palm.The things in his hands are definitely not familiar to him!

My mind is a little messed up.Kong Yan tightened his fingers, hesitated for a while, but still didn't take out the things in his hand.But what exactly is this thing?He wasn't impressed at all.

"Well, you were sent back last night by the head of the department and a senior brother named Huang, and you have been sleeping until now, at the exact time, one o'clock in the afternoon." Seeing that he was thirsty and uncomfortable, Shi Chen handed him a glass of warm water, Jokingly said, "This is the first time I heard that I was carried back when I went to archaeology, and you are really good! The person who brought you back said that you passed out in the cave due to lack of oxygen, so they sent you to the cave in advance. Come out. The fat senior brother explained a few words, and then hurried back, his figure is very flexible! Oh, and remember to call the head of the department, you know, he is always sentimental, I am afraid that he is now Blame yourself."

Shi Chen took an apple and took a bite, sat down on the stool beside the bed, glanced at the things on the table, and then slapped his thigh, "By the way, buddy, you seem to have a fever this morning. It's all sweaty, and I'm still saying words that no one can understand. I was taking antipyretics and worrying about how to feed you, but your temperature suddenly dropped back, like a roller coaster, so I didn't take the medicine " He pointed to the two small pills on the small table beside the bed, "I brought them from home, they are absolutely effective, remember to take them if you get burned again later."

Kong Yan followed his fingers to look at the table, where there was a box of medicine and the water glass that was just used.He nodded his thanks with a tired tone, "I'm fine, you go to class, I remember that the teacher of this class always rolls the roll, go quickly, remember to ask for leave for me."

Seeing that he was much more awake than when he just woke up, Shi Chen thought for a while and nodded, picked up the professional book on the side, held it in his hand, and waved his hand, "That's it, I'll ask you for sick leave by the way, Take a good rest and call if you have something to do."

After the bedroom door was closed, the whole space fell silent.Kong Yan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then tremblingly took his left hand out of the quilt, while praying in his heart, it must not be a human bone or something... But when he saw clearly what he was holding in his hand, After touching something, he was still so scared that he almost forgot to breathe!

The seal floating on the jade box that he saw before he lost consciousness was now lying in his palm.

What about hallucinations?

He was absolutely wary of this thing of unknown origin, but on the other hand, he couldn't stop his curiosity.He clearly remembered that he saw this seal in a hallucination, and it couldn't appear in reality. Where did he get it and hold it in his palm and bring it out?Most importantly, it is impossible for the two people who sent him back to the dormitory not to notice the thing in his hand. This seal is unusual at first glance, and it is impossible for Shi Chen, who has taken care of him for so long, not to notice Hold the seal in your hand.

Unless they're all blind.

But this is the fact, none of them expressed doubts about this inexplicable thing.

It can only explain that none of them can see this seal, just like the characters that appear on the stone gate in the ruins can only be seen by themselves.There are also extinguished ever-burning lamps, sacrifices, and golden-red phantoms rushing towards us...

These things in the ruins are all unusual, no, it should be said that they are unusual for me.

Kong Yan lay flat on the bed, held the seal in his hand in front of his eyes, and observed it carefully.Like many ancient seals, it is made of white jade. I don't know what kind of jade it is, but the tentacles are warm and square.There is a pattern engraved on the bottom, and it is easy to see that it is a bird shape widely used in ancient ornaments. Its peck is slightly hooked, and its eyes and tails are slender. It can be seen that the crown feathers are like clouds, the neck is high, the wings are like clouds, and the tail feathers are gorgeous.The craftsman who portrays is extremely exquisite, it can be said that it is detailed and lifelike.

After reading it over and over several times, but didn't see anything strange, Kong Yan simply turned over and took out a piece of white paper, laid it flat, and then pressed the seal on the paper tightly, pausing for a few seconds before letting go.Unexpectedly, a bird-shaped imprint actually appeared on the white paper, and the lines were golden red, which was extremely exquisite.

Just when Kong Yan was staring at the seal that was not stained with ink pad in a daze, the cell phone rang suddenly, which was a bit harsh in the quiet room.He found his mobile phone and answered the call. Before he could speak, he heard the male voice on the opposite side ask anxiously, "Kong Yan, are you still alive?"

Kong Yan rubbed his thumb on the seal and subconsciously paused, and said helplessly, "Teacher, I am Kong Yan, and I am still alive." I felt strange when I said this.But after he finished speaking, he heard a relaxed sound coming from the opposite side.Such a reaction...

"Teacher, is something wrong? Is it related to me?" Or is it related to my fainting?Or is it related to the ruins?

"Well, it doesn't matter if it's related, I just lost my head." The head of the department has obviously calmed down, but there is still a trace of fear between the lines, "Professor Song from the Department of Archeology who I contacted before just called and said that you are together. Except for you who were sent out first, the rest of the people who went into Yanhui Mountain came out at dawn today. Even classmate Huang drove you back after sending you out. Everyone didn't go back to rest, and held a meeting directly. I am going to make a plan for the future. The meeting will last until past ten o'clock in the morning, and Professor Song and Professor Chen went back to the lounge together, but in front of Professor Song, Professor Chen suddenly fainted on the ground."

The head of the department stopped, his breathing was a little unsteady, and he swallowed before continuing, "Professor Song was just about to call the emergency department when he saw Professor Chen's body shriveled like a leaked balloon, waiting for the ambulance to arrive. At that time, Professor Chen was only left with a layer of skin and bones, and his flesh and blood were gone, but the person had already gone..."

Having said that, both ends of the phone fell silent for more than ten seconds, and then a stiff laughter came from the department head, "Kong Yan, it's good that you're fine, as soon as I heard this, I remembered that you didn't faint before." Is it down? This thing is a bit evil. Although I am a teacher, there will always be some legends about gods and ghosts when I get along with archaeologists, just like the curse of the mummy before. It’s fine if you’re fine, as long as you’re fine... "

Then the head of the department babbled on the phone for a long time, telling him not to run around in the past two days and pay attention to his body. Kong Yan responded from time to time without interrupting.

He couldn't help thinking that what he saw in the vision of the priest, the black mist seemed to be sealed in a jade box.So, could it be that someone opened the jade box after he fainted?

If this is the case, then what exactly is that black mist?monster?Virus?

Involuntarily pinching the seal in his palm with his fingers, Kong Yan found that the question of his hair turning white inexplicably had not yet been answered, and now he seemed to be in an even more confusing situation.

Kong Yan, who was in deep thought, didn't notice that the brightly colored bird-shaped imprint on the white paper slowly floated up, and then the golden-red lines scattered naturally, turning into powder and disappearing into the void.

At noon the next day, Kong Yan walked to the cafeteria with Shi Chen with a look of lack of sleep, and yawned several times.Shi Chen frowned and looked at his wobbly appearance, a little disgusted, "You went to the library and contacted the professor before. I didn't see you interested in ancient costumes before? You went to take an ancient magic test. Stunned?"

Kong Yan's eyes were full of tears because of yawning, looking at the world with astigmatism, "There are some things that need to be checked, and I haven't slept until now, but nothing has been checked." His voice is a little hoarse because he stayed up late.Speaking of this, he is also a little lost. The clothing culture that appeared in the entire ruins seems to have appeared out of thin air, and no relevant information can be found at all.

A professor told Kong Yan that if he was sure that this kind of clothing culture and writing must exist, then it is very likely that this is a civilization that has not been recorded in history.Huaxia's history is too long, and its territory is too vast, so much time has been left in place, and it is no longer known to people.

"Don't take your body too seriously..."

At this time, the phone rang, and Kong Yan glanced at the caller's information—the phone number of the department head, and his heart sank.Xiang Shichen made a gesture of "you go and eat first", and he pressed the answer button while walking towards the nearby grove.

"Teacher, I am Kong Yan."

"Kong Yan, where are you now?" The head of the department on the phone trembled, but he still tried his best to keep calm, "I just got the news, Professor Song...Professor Song also went, the same situation as Professor Chen .”
