Higher Human Advancement Regulations

The rows of rooms on both sides of the corridor resembled a concentration camp, and what stood in front of the two of them now was the gate of the entire prison.

It was the most common type of double-leaf door. There was no bolt and no lock. There was a mechanism on the right wall that needed to be turned up and down. There were two handles in the mechanism box, one blue and one red.

Shao Ziyu put Mu Li down and walked over first.

The faltering lights above the head can no longer take care of the gate, and the vision has become extremely dim again.

Shao Ziyu moved his face closer to the gate and saw some strange patterns engraved on it.

After leaving the place where the charcoal was burning, Mu Li's spirit obviously improved. He looked in the direction of the resettlement agency and found a bump on the ground.

He tried to break off the top cover with his hands, but he didn't expect it to come off easily.

Mu Li looked up at Shao Ziyu in surprise.

After the cover was lifted, there were two boxes neatly placed inside. It seemed that the chassis was embedded in the mechanism, and the opening was locked. Murray tried to open it, but failed.

At present, the only clues that can be used seem to be these two agencies.

Shao Ziyu raised his head, squinted his eyes to look at the lamp halo, and said with some uncertainty:

"Can we go out by opening this door?"

Murray thought for a while and said:

"If it's the last hurdle, we'll probably go back to that cruise ship after we're out."

The role of cruise ships...

They still don't understand.

If the audit this time is only divided into two groups, the old man on the turntable can let them come here directly from the turntable, why bother?

Moreover, they had never seen other people on the turntable at the dance on the cruise ship before.

Everywhere here is extremely weird.

The two of them thought for a while in silence, and finally Mu Li patted his face and walked towards the mechanism on the right side of the gate.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly felt a sound coming from a very far away place. The sound was muffled but extremely heavy.

Because the corridor is completely enclosed, although it is very long, there is no draft, and the cold breath hovers in the hollow, accompanied by that strange sound, which makes the two of them stagnate.

Mu Li raised his head, his expression changed, and he heard Shao Ziyu's quick voice:

"run!"

"Boom——" The muffled sound came from far and near, and it came from the top of the head. Countless sand and dust flew all over the sky, and the floor also made a terrifying vibration.

Mu Li's words came true—this place seems to be really a mine!

And now, the mine is collapsing!

Before he could make a sound, Shao Ziyu pushed Mu Li away, and a stone the size of a head rolled down from a height, and instantly hit the latter.

At the same time, on both sides of the wall and above the head, countless broken stones of different sizes crackled and danced wildly, crowding the space that could have accommodated two people.

And it seemed as if a monster was buried under the ground, the vibration was so loud that one could almost feel the monster's breathing.

Mu Li only saw Shao Ziyu crooked from being smashed, and then fell into the pile of rubble beside him.

He was far away, and when I felt anxious, I turned over to find him regardless.

But even if this is not a mine, it is very likely to be a dark cave buried deep underground.

Mu Li grabbed a corner of the stone nearby, and before he could prop up his body, he felt a huge stone falling towards him from the side.

There was a muffled sound from the back, and Mu Li felt that his eyes went dark, his internal organs seemed to be shaken by this force, and the rusty smell in his throat swelled several times, and then he lost consciousness.

I don't know how long he was in a coma, Mu Li frowned in the darkness, and heard a fake voice calling his name all the time.

"Muri!"

"Muri!

Are you dead!

Say something! "

"Mulli——" the last sound, with a sense of despair and viciousness, suddenly stagnated in the air, as if stuck in the throat, making Muli's floating consciousness suddenly tremble.

"Hoo—cough, cough—" After returning to consciousness, the lungs contracted suddenly, and the air flow entered the nasal cavity sharply, and the dust floating in the air had not yet landed, and was sucked in by Mu Li.

He coughed until the sky was dark, and felt that his lungs were coughing out in a trance.

The people over there were silent for a moment, and then they spoke with a hint of fear:

"Murley, how are you?"

"cough……

fine. "

Mu Li took a breath, and wiped the back of his hand under his nose, but it was stained with wetness.

He paused, lowered his head and licked it, it was blood, as if the other facial features had the same touch.

In the darkness, Mu Li was a little flustered. He wanted to stand up in the dark, but he stepped on a stone and slipped.

More blood flowed out.

"You don't move."

Shao Ziyu was a little anxious when he heard the sound, but he was still calm, "We are separated by rocks, you can't come to my place."

Mu Li's heart was beating wildly, and he tried his best to suppress his voice for fear that Shao Ziyu would hear something strange:

"...

Brother Shao, are you okay? "

"I am fine."

Shao Ziyu's cold voice came over, making Mu Li's heartbeat return to calm for no reason.

他 说:

"There is light on my side, and I can see that the double door has just been divided into two pieces. I don't think it's a coincidence."

Mu Li swallowed his saliva and looked behind him.

When the accident happened, they were both next to the gate, and even if they knew the mine was about to collapse, they didn't have time to run far.

As luck would have it, the rubble fell just where it turned the double door into two single doors.

Mu Li couldn't see his fingers, and he could only see the dim yellow light on Shao Ziyu's side through the cracks in the stones.

It seemed to be the light of a candle.

Shao Ziyu said:

"The door doesn't open left and right, but up and down..."

"What do you mean?"

"This is originally two doors."

A bad premonition rose in Shao Ziyu's heart, and his speech speed also became anxious:

"Why two doors?"

Two doors, two boxes, two handles...

Choose one?

Shao Ziyu's heart felt cold, but he heard Mu Li who was opposite said softly:

"Brother Shao, I know how the box on the ground was opened."

Shao Ziyu came back to his senses:

"How to open?"

"There is an agency."

Mu Li said something vaguely, and suddenly knocked on the stone between the two:

"Brother Shao, the light here is very dark, and it is almost difficult to operate without light. Can you lend me your candle?"

Shao Ziyu didn't think much, turned around and found a gap in the pile of rocks, and stuffed the candle through the middle.

After such a toss, the candle didn't go out, it's just because the passage of time was much shorter.

Dim lights lit up on Muli's side.

His doll's face was covered with blood, and he never let go of his frown.

At this time, the not-so-bright light fell on his face, illuminating his eyebrows and eyes very gently.

The handle on the right side of the gate and the two raised boxes on the ground are all on Muli's side. Through the dim light, one can see the blood on the ground slowly creeping up to the patterns on the gate as if they were alive.

With the blood color deepening the outline, Mu Li can clearly see that the pattern is a clock.

After all the patterns were filled with blood, the two square boxes on the ground clicked, and the lids popped open.

Two sentences are written on the inside of the two covers respectively.

"Water governs wisdom, its nature is intelligent, its affection is good, its taste is salty, and its color is black.

Fire presides over the ceremony, its impatience, its affection, its taste is bitter, and its color is red. "

On the inside of the box, there are two grooves of different shapes engraved on the bottom plate. Mu Li saw one in the shape of a candle and the other in the shape of an ice sculpture.

He stood up with the help of the chaotic stone, walked slowly to the handle on the side of the door, and pulled it casually.

As expected, it couldn't be pulled, and the door didn't move.

Shao Ziyu heard the sound and asked:

"How's it going?"

Mu Li sat down next to the box again, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, frowned and looked at the opened lid, and suddenly smiled and said:

"The mechanism is moving, and the gears inside have been turning. It may take a while for the cover to open."

Shao Ziyu has no doubts about him:

"That's good."

For a moment no one said anything.

Shao Ziyu waited quietly, but he didn't hear the sound of the gears turning. Just as he was about to ask a question, he heard Mu Li yell softly:

"Brother Shao."

This sound was very soft, as if it carried boundless nostalgia and tenderness.

他 说:

"Brother Shao, I miss my parents."

Shao Ziyu frowned and listened, the feeling that something was wrong in his heart became more and more intense.

Murray seemed to chuckle lightly:

"My parents' lifelong dream was to go to the Garden of Eden, so I inherited their behest as a matter of course. In fact, thinking about it now, the sky is really not a thing."

"People from the outside enter Paradise Lost after death, but what's wrong with growing up in Paradise Lost?

Are they born to struggle on the brink of death?

Are only higher humans worthy of living? "

Shao Ziyu forcibly suppressed the heart that was about to jump out of his throat, and said coldly:

"Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

"The gears are turning too slowly Brother Shao."

Mu Li sighed, "I'm afraid of the dark and want to talk to brother Shao, why are you so mean?"

Shao Ziyu paused, his voice softened a little, with a bit of comforting tenderness:

"Black is nothing to be afraid of, I'm here."

With tears in his eyes, Mu Li desperately nodded, covered his mouth with one hand, and wiped away the blood and tears with the other hand, choked up and said:

"I'm still a little scared..."

Normally, Shao Ziyu's eye knife would have flown by, but maybe the fear in Mu Li's voice was too strong, so strong that it almost made him panic instantly.

"Little Li...

don't be afraid...

How can you not be so afraid? "

Mu Li took a deep breath, felt a severe pain somewhere in his chest, and the tears gradually faded away.

他 说:

"Brother Shao, thank you, wait out, I have something to tell you."

Shao Ziyu vaguely knew what Mu Li wanted to say, but he didn't have time to think about it at this moment. He only felt that Tan Chunshui deep in his chest was turned upside down by someone, and he could no longer be at peace.

He heard himself respond in an unbelievably gentle way:

"it is good."

There were no more tears, and there was not even a little sadness in Mu Li's clear eyes. In the constantly flickering lights, there was a trace of determination in the clear eyes.

He firmly fixed his candle in a depression, took out the ice sculpture from the tattoo, and placed it tremblingly on the tray engraved with ice sculpture patterns.

In an instant, water-blue light filled the entire dark room.

Shao Ziyu's voice came from there:

"what happened?"

"The agency is open."

With a smile on his face, Mu Li walked hard step by step to the handle on the right side of the gate, holding the red one with one hand.

"Ziyu, we're leaving soon."

"Click."

The red handle is pulled down.

The ice sculpture on the tray also turned at a very high speed. After a while, it turned into a puddle of liquid, melted into the pattern on the chassis, and disappeared without a trace.

If you look closely, there is a small character engraved in the center of the two handles.

"Water beats fire, but the choice is yours."

Mu Li quietly lay on one side, his whole body seemed to be covered in a layer of mist, and his whole body tended to be transparent.

The half door not far from him was still closed, and even the candle was extinguished by him. He seemed to be asleep and had a lengthy dream.

He dreamed that the sky was shining brightly, pouring down on Shao Ziyu's shoulders, and being carried by Shao Ziyu behind him, the light followed his footprints and scattered all over the ground.

So he never wanted to wake up again.
