"What is it?" Ke Xun asked.
"I can't tell—" Wu You even squatted down, put his hands on the ground of the altar soaked in blood, and looked down forcefully, "Only the places covered by ghost texts can be seen, so the display is not complete, only part of it can be seen. ... very confusing, me, I can't really tell what that is-"
Wu You was so anxious that she burst into tears, but Ke Xun remained calm and said solemnly, "Don't worry, tell me first, is it alive or not?"
Wu You shook his head: "I don't know... It's been moving, I can't see the whole picture, I don't know if it has a head or a tail, I really don't know if it's a living thing... "
"Then what color is it?" Ke Xun asked.
"It...it has no color, but I don't know why I can see it, but I can be sure that it has no color, or, perhaps, it is invisible or transparent itself - I don't know if that's right, it's just It, it was originally embedded in the rock, but when it moved, the rock where it was was like being erased or hollowed out, and all you see is the rock around the part of the rock that disappeared - that's weird , something as hard as a rock was hollowed out by it - but when it was removed, the part of the lost rock appeared out of thin air... I don't know if I made it clear... "Wu You eagerly , some incoherently recount what they saw.
"I can probably understand," Ke Xun said. "Then can you see what shape it is?"
Wu You stared down for a while, frowning and shaking his head: "I can't see it, it's very irregular, it's ever-changing..."
Ke Xun didn't ask any further, but looked at the others: "Maybe we can only see this thing completely after our blood has spread all over the altar. We can't be sure whether this thing is a ghost or not, since we say that ghosts are high-ranking ancients. It cannot be ruled out that this higher creature has the characteristics of being invisible or invisible to the naked eye. And these visible or vaguely visible monsters in the tornado column are either the reflection of the underground ghosts, or they are different species of ghosts."
Following Ke Xun's words, everyone looked up at the top of their heads, but saw that the monsters in the wind body began to impact the wind membrane again after the passage of time.
"Even if we dye the altar with our own blood, what's the use?" Shao Ling gritted his teeth and said, "We were all dead at that time, who else could see what was under the altar? How can it be?"
Ke Xun didn't answer. He bent down and stretched out his hand. Before touching the blood of his comrades on the ground, he hesitated for a while, and finally pressed his hand down. Then, with the blood on his hand, he turned and walked to a nearby piece that was not yet stained with blood. When he reached the blank space, he pressed his palm on it.
He removed his hand, and a bloody palm print remained in place, but it was quickly submerged by the blood that overflowed from the side, and like other places that had been soaked in blood, it quickly turned into a part of the ghost text, and the ghost text between the strokes The gap will become blank again.
Ke Xun pressed his blood-dipped palm on the ghost text again. After removing it, he did not confuse the ghost text at all. He tried to swipe his finger on the ghost text again, but the blood-red ghost text looked like a ghost text. The original color of the rock is the same, and it cannot be scratched at all.
Wu You, who had been watching his movements, suddenly called out, "Strange—that invisible thing inside the altar—seems to be following Ke Er all the time!"
Everyone was shocked and suspicious when they heard this. They all looked at Ke Xun, but Ke Xun didn't have the slightest mood swing, and only turned to look at her: "Are you sure?"
"Stand up and take a few steps," Wu You pointed not far away, "Go over there, don't go to places not covered by ghost texts."
Ke Xun stood up, walked away according to the words, then circled around and returned to the place, looking at Wu You who was shocked, the answer was written in her red and swollen eyes: "Are you really following me? "
"Yes, but, but it's not that close," Wu You tugged at her hair with both hands, forcing herself to try her best to organize the language calmly and clearly, "it still looks like it's moving in a disorderly manner, but it tends to move more often. The direction you're walking, I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence or what-maybe-maybe it can sense you?"
"Stand still," Ke Xun said, "Hao Wen'er Shao Qingqing, the four of us are going in different directions now, Wu You, please observe."
The four people walked in four different directions, and made several complicated circles, returning to the same place again.
This time, Wu You answered with a little affirmation: "It's following Ke'er! Although it still seems to be following, it doesn't seem to be following, but it obviously doesn't feel the other three of you. It's leaning in the direction of Ke'er!"
"Why is this?" Zhu Haowen stared at Ke Xun, "What do you have on you that we don't have?"
Ke Xun threw his backpack on the ground and walked around again.
"It didn't follow!" Wu You exclaimed, "—is it Ke Er's backpack?!"
Ke Xun strode back, untied his backpack and took things out.
Rope, flashlight, combination knife, magazine, lighter, photo album, chocolate box…
Ke Xun distributed these to everyone to take a few samples, and he put the backpack on his body again: "Disperse it and walk again, Wu You stares at it."
This time Wu You still pointed at him: "Ke'er, it's you!"
"What's left in your backpack?" Shao Ling asked tightly.
Ke Xun ripped open the mouth of the backpack and showed it to everyone: "Mobile phone."
Most of the backpack is full of mobile phones.
It has long been a habit of Ke Xun to put a few more mobile phones into his paintings. Even if he finally arrived at the Kunlun Hub in the real world and climbed this altar, he did not leave it behind.
"Why a cell phone?" Everyone hesitated.
"When we are in the painting, they can't recognize the mobile phone. At best, they can only block a few functions according to the content of the painting," Zhu Haowen frowned, thinking, "But now it is not in the painting, and even if it is in the painting , because the mobile phone is not recognized, it can be regarded as an existence that is not valued, why do things inside the altar focus on the mobile phone?"
Ke Xun was thinking about another question.
Unidentified objects in enclosed, solid rock.
It moves, has no color, has no shape, and is invisible.
But it definitely has volume, because wherever it goes, the rock will be hollowed out, and this hollowed-out space is where its shape is.
It will hollow out the hard rock, and the part of the rock will reappear after it leaves, indicating that the part of the rock is not actually swallowed or removed at all, the rock is always there, just because it is blocked by it, It just seemed to disappear out of thin air.
Invisible things... can appear in solid rock... disappear out of thin air... reappear...
Ke Xun raised his eyes suddenly.
"Director Hua... gone." Qin Ci's voice suddenly came in a low voice.
Everyone woke up and looked at the sound, only to see that Hua Jiqiu was in Qin Ci's arms, closing his eyes quietly.
The blood gurgling from the wound on his abdomen is spreading towards the blank space of the altar. In the wind body above the dome, the ugly and disgusting creepy monster uttered a bitter howl, and was forcibly pressed back by an invisible force. on.
When everyone was eager and focused to find out the true body of the unknown object inside the altar, the ghost in the wind body once again launched an offensive to break through the human world, and Hua Jiqiu, like the first few sacrificed Like his companions, he quietly and quietly sacrificed his life at this moment, winning a short buffer for his companions who are still trying to find the answer.
It's a pity that he couldn't leave a few words for the rest of the people. Everyone's physique is different. He only looked at Mu Yiran at the last moment, like Li Xiaochun.
Mu Yiran is everyone's last hope. Maybe even if he can't save these companions, he may at least find a way to end this matter completely. Even if he can't help the present, he can help the future.
Mu Yiran lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on the bloody ghost text on the ground of the altar, he did not move, he was still trying his best to mobilize all his logical thinking and knowledge reserves, in his vast and turbulent sea of consciousness, struggling Looking for a needle-like thread of aura.
And at this moment, Ke Xun's voice suddenly sounded like a deep-sea whale groaning, empty and far, and passed into his ears clearly and long: "I think, I know what Wu You saw on the altar. "
Invisible and colorless, it can appear in unimaginable places, such as inside a solid rock, and can make matter disappear and reappear out of thin air. It has a volume and is powerful enough to swallow any matter.
what is it then
"It's 'time and space'," Ke Xun said.
"That invisible thing is time and space, or a time-space tunnel, or a space-time crack. But the only thing I don't understand is why it chases the phone as if it had life consciousness." Moved away and fell to Mu Yiran who was suddenly raising his eyes to look at him.
"Why... time and space?" Wu You asked blankly and eagerly.
"Yi Ran and I disappeared overnight and reappeared after we climbed the altar for the first time. It's very similar to what you saw when the rocks inside the altar disappeared and reappeared," Ke Xun said, "and we didn't say that before. Now, the time and space here is chaotic."
"But the rock reappeared soon after it disappeared..." Wu You said.
"Are you sure that the rock you see is the present rock?" Ke Xun asked calmly, "Maybe the rock that appears is a rock from a certain time in the past, or a rock from a certain time in the future, and this moment rocks, perhaps in another time and space."
Wu You suddenly widened her red and swollen eyes.
"Ke Xun is right—" Zhu Haowen still couldn't hide the surprise on his face, "It is indeed very likely that it is a time-space tunnel. A time-space tunnel is invisible but exists objectively, but its opening time and location are uncertain. Just like what Yi Ran said about the chaotic space-time flashbacks in the valley before we climbed to the altar, this time-space tunnel inside the rock platform is relatively stable, although according to Wu You, it is constantly moving - I I think there must be a reason for this!"
"The time and space in Death Valley is chaotic, and the time and space tunnel inside this altar is more distinct and stable. Could this be because of its greater energy?" Shao Ling tried to adjust his emotions and tried his best to calmly say, "Because there are two kinds of ghosts, yin and yang. Wendu plays a role here, and the altar is surrounded by tornado columns. Perhaps, the altar is also the place with the strongest underground magnetic field. Several material fields are concentrated at one point—that is, the altar, so a large energy is generated. time tunnel?"
"I think this time-space tunnel can not only exist inside the altar." Mu Yiran, who was speaking with an unprecedented certainty, walked towards this side, and the rest of the painters immediately looked at each other. He, with endless trust and expectations.
"It will stick its head out from the inside of the altar at some point, maybe it's random, random, or even if it's regular, we don't know right now. And the last time it came out, it happened to be I was caught up by Ke Xun and I, so it went from night to early morning in an instant." Mu Yiran said.
"So?" Zhu Haowen looked at him and saw the gleam in his eyes.
"So, as you've imagined before - we need to find a way to capture it again or make it stick its head out," Mu Yiran said very clearly, "then, let's go back to the past."
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words.
"Let's not talk about how to capture or prompt it to probe," Zhu Haowen looked at him incredulously, "Even if we can enter the time-space tunnel and go back to the past, what effect can we have on the demons? Our purpose is not to save lives. , is to suppress the demons, and if possible, this matter will be completely ended. Let's go back to the past, did Wei Dong and the others die here in vain? And don't forget the paradox of time, going back to the past can't change the current results."
"Before answering this question, I need Lao Qin to confirm one thing," Mu Yiran looked at Qin Ci, "Look at the approximate blood loss of Wei Dong and the others."
Qin Ci didn't question or say much. From the moment Wei Dong died, he was silent, quietly watching, or constantly dragging his companions back from the brink of death and watching them leave.
He walked over to examine the bodies of the sacrificed companions, and then replied Mu Yiran: "30% to 50%."
Before Mu Yi could speak, Ke Xun raised his brows first: "But the blood of the five of them now covers nearly half of the surface of the altar."
Ke Xun's words made several other people react suddenly - before everyone was anxious to think of a solution and mourned for the death of their comrades, but they didn't notice the abnormality of this blood.
The blood loss of five people, each person lost about 30% to 50% of the blood, how could it be possible to cover half of such a large altar? !
"To be precise, the blood of the four people covered nearly half of the area," Mu Yiran pointed to Li Xiaochun, "Xiaochun's blood is all concentrated on the edge of the altar, can you see that his blood is in the shape of a cord pattern? The shape is attached to this edge of the altar."
Everyone was suddenly startled, stared at the blood on the altar in unison, and turned back to Mu Yiran in unison, waiting for his answer.
