When AI intelligent people meet fierce gods

After separating from his teammates, Li Guoqiang headed east all the way.

The canopy of the old locust tree shrouded the top of the head, like a shadow isolated from the sky, with an inexplicable sense of oppression, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

There are relatively few residents in the east of Xiaoli Village. Li Guoqiang met no one along the way, only pale lanterns hanging under the eaves, flickering in the dark.

His footsteps were fast, and he walked quietly among the sparsely arranged houses and courtyards. After a while, he came to the edge of the village, in a deserted wilderness.

The east side of Xiaoli Village is not blocked by a steep mountain wall like the west side, but for some reason, there are almost no people living there, only a large piece of abandoned land.

The villagers seem to stay away from this place.

This place is almost out of the scope of Xiaoli Village, the original path has long been covered by weeds and shrubs, and only a few insects can be heard around, but no human voices can be heard.

After walking for a long time in this uninhabited wilderness, a towering shadow suddenly jumped out of Li Guoqiang's eyes.

The outline of the shadow is like a house standing alone on the wilderness, the walls are half hidden in the overgrown weeds and bushes, and the eaves are raised high, like a bird fluttering its wings.

When he approached, he realized that it was an abandoned ancient temple.

The temple has long been dilapidated, with an old and outdated appearance, the paint on the walls is peeling off, weeds are growing in the crevices of the broken tiles on the eaves, and the paintings on the gateposts are mottled.

A broken door plaque hangs at the gate of the temple, on which the three characters "Mountain God Temple" are vaguely written, showing a very dejected and gloomy look.

Obviously, here is a mountain god who has been abandoned long ago, and there has been no incense in the temple for a long time.

"crunch-"

With a little force in his hand, Li Guoqiang pushed open the crumbling decayed wooden door and walked into the mountain temple.

The scene in the temple was also dilapidated, with cobwebs everywhere, and a thick layer of dust accumulated on the ground. As soon as one stepped in, there would be bursts of flying dust, making it unbearably dirty.

But that's not the most shocking.

Right in front of Li Guoqiang, in the very center of the mountain temple, the place where the statue of the mountain god should have been placed is now empty, leaving only a base made of yellow mud.

Around the base, there are a few broken ceramic pieces scattered, like the residue of something after it was smashed.

The statue of the mountain god in this temple may have been removed or smashed to pieces, but there is only an empty shell of the ruined temple left.

Li Guoqiang took a few photos of the mountain temple, especially the base of the statue, and he focused on leaving evidence.But he searched inside and outside the temple several times, but found no other valuable clues.

In the end, he could only take away a few pieces of debris scattered around the base, and continued to explore eastward.

After leaving the gate of the mountain temple, there was only darkness and wasteland around again, and there was no sound, and there were no other landmarks for reference.

Li Guoqiang groped in the dark for a long time, there were weeds under his feet, and there was no road, but he couldn't reach the end no matter what.

He was a little puzzled.

Is Xiaoli Village so big?According to common sense, this small village is located in a mountain depression. After walking for so long, he should have touched the surrounding mountains long ago, and it shouldn't be a flat road.

Until he staggered under his feet in the darkness and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Li Guoqiang is a practitioner, and his reaction is quicker than ordinary people. He quickly grabbed the bushes beside him, and only then did he stop his falling posture.

After standing still, he lowered his head and looked carefully, only to find that there was a deep ditch in front of him, hidden in the tall weeds, making it difficult to find.

He took a step back cautiously, then bent down to look, and saw that there was nothing clear in the black hole under the deep ditch. Even though he was wearing night vision goggles at this time, it was difficult to know what was underneath.

Li Guoqiang picked up a stone from the side and threw it down, lying on the side to listen, and waited patiently for a long time, but he didn't hear the sound of the stone falling to the ground.

This is not a ditch, it is obviously a bottomless cliff!

Is there a cliff at the east end of Xiaoli Village?This doesn't seem to match what's marked on the map...

Thinking in his heart, he unintentionally raised his head and glanced up.

Stars were shining brightly in the night sky all over the sky, Li Guoqiang seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly froze.

Then, he lowered his head in disbelief, frantically looking for the compass he carried with him.

I was obviously heading east, how could I...

Anyone who is good at living in the wild knows that when there is no instrument to identify the direction, the direction can be identified according to the position of the stars in the sky.

As a professional, Li Guoqiang has naturally received relevant training. Not only can he recognize the stars, but he also has excellent control over his own sense of direction.

But he always felt that he was walking towards the east, until he unconsciously raised his head and saw the stars just now, and realized that he did not know when he had gone in a wrong direction, and he had unknowingly made a big circle and headed north.

When did he lose his sense of direction?Could it be after meeting that mountain temple...

Li Guoqiang looked at the compass in his hand with a complicated expression, but found that the compass had failed, and the pointer was turning chaotically, making it impossible to recognize the direction at all.

This is a special instrument made by the army, and it will not be damaged easily.

So Li Guoqiang picked up the compass and shook it in disbelief, then raised his arm and stretched the malfunctioning compass over the cliff.

As soon as he got close to the cliff, the already disordered pointer suddenly started to rotate crazily, one circle after another, making it even more difficult to recognize the direction.

Li Guoqiang retracted the compass thoughtfully, and looked up and down the cliff at his feet more seriously.

It seems that the closer to the cliff, the more disordered the magnetic field, which disturbs the direction of the compass.

Even wearing a low-light night vision device, he couldn't see the depths of the cliff clearly. He ventured to turn on the strong flashlight in the dark and shine it down. The bright and dazzling beam seemed to be thrown into an endless abyss, and he couldn't clearly see the depths of the cliff. bottom.

This cliff is not on the east side, but on the northernmost side of the village.Perhaps he should have waited until daytime, when he would investigate again.

Li Guoqiang frowned, thinking in his heart while walking along the edge of the cliff.

The cleft of the cliff is irregular, twisted, and overgrown with weeds. He needs to be careful with his steps at all times, in case he accidentally falls to the bottom of the cliff.

But as he walked, he gradually had difficulty breathing.

It was as if a big stone was pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe, and there was a suffocating feeling in his neck, making every breath he took was very heavy.

There was obviously no one around him, but his neck seemed to be strangled tightly from behind, so that he needed to breathe very hard every time to barely catch his breath.

Li Guoqiang wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a little puzzled.

Could it be that his physical fitness has suddenly regressed, and he has only walked so many mountain roads today, why is he so tired?

no, not quite right...

His body was getting more and more tired, his shoulders were stiff and heavy, as if he was walking with someone on his back.And the man on the back deliberately pressed his back, strangled his neck so hard that he couldn't breathe.

But no matter how he looked around, there was nothing around him, not even a ghost, and he was the only one standing there stupidly.

It was at this time that Yuan Linlin contacted him through the communicator.

He raised his hand with difficulty and switched on the device.

On the other side of the communicator, there was a "crackling" burning sound, as if he was in a fire, and he didn't know what happened to Yuan Linlin.

Yuan Linlin's young voice came from the burning: "Captain Li, how are you doing in the east? Are you in any danger?"

"I found something on the east side, I'm not sure if it's worth it. And I've been quiet all the way, and I haven't met anyone else..."

He struggled to breathe, and tried to convey the message clearly, but the person on the other side of the communicator suddenly screamed.

"Wait, Captain Li... Why is there someone singing by your side?"

What... Li Guoqiang was stunned.

Yuan Linlin: "The sound of singing! I heard the sound of singing beside you, and it's the voice of a woman singing. The tone seems to be very sad, but the voice is too small and vague. I can't hear what she is singing here at all. !"

Li Guoqiang raised his head and looked around blankly, but he still didn't find anyone else, let alone a woman singing an opera.

There was no sound around, even the few insects that I heard occasionally before disappeared, it was terribly quiet!

Did Yuan Linlin hear it wrong?Or a communicator malfunction?Or... the voice of singing does exist, only you can't hear it?

Li Guoqiang's breathing became heavier and heavier when he thought of this.

Perhaps it was the lack of oxygen caused by difficulty breathing, he felt that his brain was a little sluggish, and even his vision was a little blurred.

Li Guoqiang pulled himself together and tried his best to mobilize his chaotic thinking. Even though he didn't hear any sound at this time, he still turned on the recording function of the communicator out of instinctive vigilance.

From the depths of the cliff beside him, there were bursts of whistling wind, adding a bit of intrusion.Enduring suffocating pain, he stood motionless and waited for a long time, just for the slightest clue that might be recorded.

It may be that the lack of oxygen has lasted for a long time, which led to some hallucinations in front of my eyes.

Li Guoqiang suddenly felt a kind of longing in his heart. This strange longing drove him, making him unconsciously bow his head and look into the depths of the cliff.

He still didn't hear the sound of singing, but he seemed to be able to hear some rustling sounds.

In the endless darkness deep in the cliff, there seemed to be a personal shadow struggling, climbing on the smooth cliff, creeping towards his position little by little.

Those shadows are getting closer and closer to him...

Li Guoqiang suddenly took a deep breath, suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes widened in shock.

The cliff at his feet was still quiet, and there was nothing there, as if the shadows he had seen before were all his hallucinations.

But Li Guoqiang hastily retreated again and again, away from the dangerous cliff.

He knew that he had reached his limit in terms of physical strength and mental strength, so he didn't dare to force himself to stay, and it would be easy to make mistakes if he continued to force himself.

He made the decision to retreat immediately.

Li Guoqiang cautiously left from the side of the cliff and went back along the route he had come from.

Maybe it was a psychological effect, maybe it was some kind of real danger, and when he moved away from the northernmost cliff, the feeling of suffocation disappeared.

His footsteps became easier, no longer as half-dead and heavy as before, and even a little fluttering.

While evacuating, Li Guoqiang sent Yuan Linlin a message with lingering fear.

[Xiao Li Village is indeed dangerous, and may even endanger life!Don't act rashly for now, let's go back to the guest room to meet up, exchange information with each other, and then determine the next task. 】

After receiving an affirmative answer from Yuan Linlin, he started contacting Yi Qi again.

"Mr. Yi, I recorded a little sound..."
