In fact, Ian should have thought of it a long time ago. Travela is an island adjacent to the Isle of Thunder. Station, naturally also within this range.
And this place happened to be the place where Beast Kaido committed suicide by jumping off the island. How could this make Ian not terrified
Only the devil knows that Kaido, a lunatic, will not play this kind of high-altitude fall and airborne more than once? Ordinarily, Ian also understands that the chance of this is not high. Even if Kaido jumps to the island, he may not always be on this empty island, but what if he really meets him
Ian didn't want to deal with this lunatic, so he turned his head and looked around for a while, and was relieved to find that there was no one around.
"Let's go, look ahead!" Ian called to AY-5.
The two walked forward, and gradually, the building complex in front of them could be seen clearly, but what made Ian feel strange was that although the building complex looked like a city, it looked very dilapidated, and it was too dilapidated to catch the eye. The various buildings that can be seen look incomplete, and the strangest thing is that there is no sound in the entire city here, and there are no people in sight, and it is completely dead.
Rather than calling it a city, it would be more appropriate to call it a ruin...
"This place is really in ruins..." Ian looked at a windmill-like building in front of him. One side of the cross-shaped windmill blades was completely gone, and the rest of them were riddled with holes. There is a large gap in the roof, and there are many buildings like this. It looks like an abandoned city.
Ian and AY-5 were walking on the city's strange moss-covered streets. When they passed by some houses, they both pushed open the door and went in, wanting to see what was going on inside.
However, what you see in many houses is a mess. The things inside have either been weathered or disappeared, as if they have been looted by someone.
AY-5 held a cigarette in his mouth, patted the dust off his hands, and said, "I'm afraid this city has been ransacked by pirates!"
Ian nodded, thinking of the pirate ship that fell down before. The age of that ship seemed a bit old, but there was no one on it, which meant that even the pirate ship was abandoned. Think about it Also, if a ship really arrives on this empty island, how to get down is a huge problem.
"However, why didn't you see any corpse?" Ian asked strangely.
On the walls around, there are indeed various knife marks and sword marks, and there are also some incomplete places, which seem to have been caused by artillery bombardment. Although these walls are covered with moss and plants, if you look closely, you can still see them. come out.
If the city had been ransacked by pirates, then there would definitely be a battle, and as long as there was a battle, someone would definitely die, and even if it was a long time ago, it would leave traces and weathered bones. Ann and the others walked all the way, but they never saw anyone's bones.
Could it be that after the battle, someone searched all the corpses and destroyed them centrally? But which side will win? It doesn't look like a pirate. If it were a pirate, the city is so big that it can accommodate at least 100,000 people. It's impossible for all the city residents to be slaughtered, right? But if the city dwellers won, where did they go
Such a relic left too many questions, but the fun of adventure is here. Ian took AY-5 to investigate carefully in this city, trying to unravel the past secrets of this place.
However, after checking for a while, Ian discovered a new problem. The two of them did not seem to be the first to visit this empty island, and Ian could see some relatively new traces.
He even picked up a rusty sailor's knife. Although it was seriously rusted, it was not completely broken. Ian estimated that the rust time of this knife would not exceed twenty years, that is to say, at least two years. Ten years ago, a group of people landed on this empty island.
How this group of people came up, Ian does not know. Similarly, Ian does not know whether this group of people are still on the island. He can only explore the city slowly with AY-5. with.
And because the picture of the video phone bug has been transmitted to the bottom, Fujitora and the others on the island of Telavira are also guessing at this time, and some people even ran to the city to send some people on the island of Telavira. Ask the old miners if they know the empty island of the terminus of the ruins of Baron.
It took a long time for Ian and the others to walk around most of the city, but they didn't see any people. Even if there was a battle in this city before, the bones and the like were indeed cleaned up. , there is no clue at all.
Finally, Ian and AY-5 came to the largest building in the center of the city.
This is a strange-looking building. From the outside, it is surrounded by walls, but after walking inside, Ian realizes that it is an incomparably huge hall that is as empty as a football field!
There is nothing in this hall, no pillars, nothing but a smooth ground, but on this ground, there are many golden lines drawn with twists and turns, which are very regular geometric shapes. Ian stared at it from a distance for a long time, but For no apparent reason, these lines do not seem to have any special meaning, not the kind of pattern used for narrative.
"Huh? There seems to be something here!" AY-5 suddenly called out to Ian, and Ian turned around and found AY-5 standing in front of a wall.
This wall is also covered with moss, but judging from the thickness of the moss, it seems that there is a place in the middle of the moss, which is not as thick as the surrounding ones. This is where AY-5's attention was drawn.
Ian's heart moved, and he stretched out his hand to peel off the moss here again, revealing a square brick underneath.
"It seems that it can be pushed?" Ian looked at the obviously large gaps around the brick and was also surprised. After thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the brick, and then pushed it forward with all his strength.
His guess was indeed correct, as Ian pressed hard, the brick was pushed forward slowly, turning into a pit on the wall!
Then, when the masonry could not be moved, the ground suddenly trembled slightly, and the rumbling sound echoed throughout the hall, and countless stone chips on the ceiling of the hall began to fall down.
"Ah!? Is this hall going to collapse?" AY-5 was startled, pulled Ian's clothes and said, "Let's get out of here!"
"Wait a minute!" Ian stopped her move, turned his head, and looked towards the middle of the hall.
I saw that the ground there opened slowly, and then something rose up from below.
Ian understood that before they came, someone did come here first. The mechanism on the wall was also discovered by the previous group of people. They also wiped off the moss to find the brick and stone, and pushed it. That's right.
There was a loud click, and something rising from below appeared in front of Ian. It was a strange instrument. The base looked like there were many indicator lights, but the upper part was a huge hollow transparent ball. Ian Walking over and coming to this thing, he originally thought that the hollow ball was something like glass, but after knocking it, he realized that it didn't seem to be.
The most surprising thing is that although this instrument looks old and covered with dust, its appearance is still intact.
"What is this?" Ian looked around and said, "It should belong to this city."
He tried to tap the indicator lights on the base of the instrument, but there was no response at all, and there were no switches or buttons on the base. Since the instrument was raised, there has been no abnormality.
This made Ian scratch his head. He finally found something, but why he couldn't go on when he got here
However, at this moment, Ian suddenly noticed the situation at the bottom of the instrument. The bottom of the instrument was just pressing on the intersection of all the golden lines on the floor of the hall!
After seeing this scene, Ian suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "This thing, it can't be an energy center, right? These lines look like integrated circuits!"
Raising his head and looking at the instrument, Ian suddenly understood that this device might be some kind of power source device, and there is no response now, or it might have lost its energy source! If it can be activated again, maybe we can see the deeper secrets of this city!
