So what exactly is a hound
What is the broken space
Mia was a little irritated and mad. She had never wanted Ask to stay by her side more than now—her little head was almost filled with question marks.
However, no one, whether it was the students next to her or the bald professor, could explain it to her. Everyone was mumbling something mysterious like "eliminate the horns" and "don't run into the hounds."
Soon, everyone prepared themselves mentally, and then under the guidance of the professor, they took out their pills and began to prepare to swallow them.
Mia was more cautious. Or rather, the thought of Ask was watching her from the sidelines made her small brain work like crazy, and she finally figured out how to deal with the current situation.
She held the pill between her fingers, using a trick that thieves used in the past, pretending to put it into her mouth. Then she lowered her hand, made a gurgling sound in her throat as if swallowing it, and then looked at everyone out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing Maria next to her slumped in the chair and starting to mumble incomprehensible things, Mia also drooped her neck, leaned back against the chair, tilted her head, and began to stammer vaguely.
But now no one appreciated her superb skills, because everyone else also lay back weakly, muttering to themselves, even drowning out the only sound in the room, the rustling sound of the tape in the recorder.
"Constantinople has fallen... Black Friday..."
“The steam engine launched the Industrial Revolution… The tireless machine is eating people…”
"East and West... The Iron Curtain of Nuclear War... We must find shelter as soon as possible... Leave a spark before destruction..."
"The baby destroyed its own cradle and stepped into darkness... What a sad future..."
"Lost... We are lost... We only found a place that looks good..."
"The demonic tide destroyed everything... Lost technology, hidden civilization... To find them... From the long river of time..."
"I found it!" Maria suddenly jumped up from her chair, dancing stiffly like a puppet, her pupils completely out of focus, her mouth twitching and twisted, "An intact civilization before the first demonic tide! Developed science and industry, enough to support mankind to cross the sea of stars, the most brilliant crystallization of civilization!"
She began to quickly recite a series of theoretical terms, such as multiphase nuclear fusion, orbital logistics network, and alien microbiology, which made Mia shrink her neck in fear, feeling that this female student had gone completely crazy.
The others were still in a deep sleep, so in order not to arouse their suspicion, Mia could only imitate their tone of voice and began to recite nonsense:
"Broken viscera, coagulated blood, entangled tentacles, lifeless eyeballs, twisted plants, shriveled limbs, mutilated brains, scarlet fruits..." She muttered to herself, feeling a little greedy at the same time, and swallowed quietly.
Suddenly Maria screamed, "No! It's the horned monsters! The dry, emaciated evil! They smell me! Run! Run!"
