Darkness fell again, and the whole world suddenly became silent, deathly silent.
"Why am I back here again? Is the Crystal Skull still affecting me?" Xia Lei was filled with surprise and curiosity. After pondering for a while, he started running again. Perhaps this was the only way to escape from the illusory world created by the crystal skull.
Running, running non-stop, there was no sound of footsteps or anything, and Xia Lei didn't feel tired. Running in this illusory world, this intense exercise does not even consume any energy. He had a feeling that it could run like this forever, until the end of its life.
I don’t know how long it took, but a bright light appeared in front of me. It appeared in the darkness, like a bolt of lightning piercing the darkness, giving people an extremely shocking feeling.
"This... I seem to have seen such a scene before. Is that the exit?" Xia Lei ran over, his heart full of vigilance and awe.
The light became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into a door made of light. It's very strange. It has no specific shape. If you think it is square, it is square. If you think it is round, it is round. If you think it is arched, it is arched. In short, it seems that the language in this world cannot accurately describe it.
Xia Lei did not rush directly into the light gate like last time, but stopped in front of the light gate. This time he saw very clearly that the light door was not actually a door, but a vortex composed of white and extremely pure light. It rotates slowly in this dark world, unable to see what is inside it or what is behind it.
This vortex of light has a very ancient aura, as if it has existed since the beginning of the universe, and the power of time is not insignificant to it.
Xia Lei stretched out a hand and slowly stretched it towards the white light vortex. He wanted to test what would happen if he touched the white light vortex. There was a certain danger in doing so, but he couldn't control his curiosity.
Although he maintained sufficient vigilance and vigilance, the moment his fingers touched the whirlpool of white light, he seemed to see a face hidden in the whirlpool of white light, a shining face. He could see the outline of a face, but not its details. At that moment, an irresistible suction force came and pulled him in immediately. Then, what he saw in his field of vision was a vast expanse of white, only pure white and nothing could be seen. His whole body seemed to have been purified, with nothing left.
That weird face seemed to be entangled with him. For some reason, he wasn't afraid. It felt a little familiar and friendly.
boom! With a jolt, all illusions disappeared.
The natural light pouring down from the top of the head is so real. The wind from the cave sky blew past my cheeks, bringing a cold feeling, which was so real.
Xia Lei stood motionless. Kerstin was right in front of him, holding the crystal skull like a fool. But his mind was not on Kerstin at all. The whirlpool of white light kept appearing in his mind, as well as the mysterious face hidden in the whirlpool.
Whose face is that
Why was he in that whirlpool of white light
Is he a living person, a non-existent hallucination, or an illusion
Why does it feel so strangely familiar and intimate
All these questions popped up in Xia Lei's mind, but he couldn't even figure out a single question.
After almost five minutes, Xia Lei came back from his thoughts. He looked at Kerstin, looked at the crystal skull held in Kerstin's hand, and was thinking about how this matter should end.
When things have reached this stage, his goal has actually been achieved. How to deal with Kerstin is the problem he needs to face now. If he wanted to kill Kerstin now, it would be an easy thing. He could stab him to death, or he could shoot him in the head. But after doing that, he had to face the consequences of doing that.
Kerstin is the CEO of Lockheed Martin and the designer of the Dragon Slayer fighter jet. He has irreplaceable and extremely important value in the eyes of those in the Pentagon. If he dies here, there will be no relationship between China and the United States. In all likelihood, a war will break out. What's worse is that he still needs to face Zhu Xuanyue's revenge. Even if Zhu Xuanyue doesn't kill him, she can still attack his family, and that is a consequence he cannot accept. There is also a worst-case scenario, that is, Zhu Xuanyue or the United States launches a Cerberus virus attack on China. The result will be a disaster for the country and the nation and cannot bear it.
It's easy to kill someone, impulsively, but then you have to face the consequences of killing that person after the moment of pleasure. Kerstin wants to die because his existence threatens his wife and children, but he doesn't have to be killed here.
Xia Lei had already thought of a better plan than killing Kerstin immediately.
Xia Lei reached into the cylindrical metal box and took out a box with a missing corner, the Box of the World, from the hidden compartment at the bottom.
The World Box is an existence that scares both Zhu Xuanyue and Prehistoric One. Anyone who comes into contact with it will either die or go crazy. What would be the result if Kerstin was exposed to it
Xia Lei took away the crystal skull from Kerstin's hand, and then placed the World Box in Kerstin's hand.
After Xia Lei put the crystal skull into the cylindrical metal box and closed the lid, Kerstin quickly regained consciousness. He looked at Xia Lei with vigilant eyes, "What happened?"
"Nothing happened." Xia Lei said, and then he pointed to the World Box in Kerstin's hand, "I have fulfilled my promise, take a look quickly, I will give you ten minutes. If you feel it is not enough , I can give you more time."
Only then did Kerstin's eyes move to his hand, and he realized that Xia Lei had taken away the crystal skull, and there was a box with a missing corner in his hand. His eyes stayed on the World Box and could no longer move away.
The World Box looks like it is made of bronze, with strange lines on it, and it looks very ancient. It gives people the feeling that this universe has existed for as many years as it has existed.
Xia Lei looked at Kerstin quietly, and he couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"You've been studying it for so long, what have you discovered?" Kerstin asked.
Xia Lei said: "I didn't find anything, otherwise I wouldn't have invited you here."
"You think I know its secret?"
"You are from Isitabu, you should know something, right?" Xia Lei said.
"Of course." Kerstin said, "But why should I tell you?"
Xia Lei sneered in his heart and said secretly: "You know what the hell, you are a person who was born less than a year ago, how could you know the secret of the World Box? If you knew, how could you hold it? You It's too late to throw it away." He thought so in his heart, but his face remained calm, "Mr. Kerstin, what do you want from me before you are willing to tell me?"
Kerstin said: "Take me to the Thunder Horse Group to take a look. Let me take a look at the fighters and bombers you are studying, and I will tell you the secrets I know."
Xia Lei smiled, "You actually don't know anything, right?"
"I studied it during the Renaissance. Do you think I don't know its secrets?" Kerstin hid his true reaction with a disdainful smile.
If he hadn't successfully stolen Kerstin's memory, Xia Lei might have believed it a little bit, but after successfully stealing Kerstin's memory, he was very sure that Kerstin didn't know anything. In addition, there is a loophole in Kerstin's words, that is, he actually found the fragments of the World Core piece by piece and then put them together into a box. The Renaissance World Box didn't exist at all. How could Leonardo da Vinci study something that didn't exist
But at this moment, Kerstin suddenly threw the World Box in his hand, and his face became nervous, "Why did you show it to me? And you are willing to give me more time? You have What conspiracy?"
"Because you want to see it." Xia Lei said calmly: "You think you are the smartest person in the world, but Yixitabu told you that only I can crack the secrets of the World Box and the Crystal Skull. You have no idea at all. You are not convinced, so you want to know the extent of my research, and you even want to take my place in deciphering the secrets of the Crystal Skull and the World Box, right?"
Kerstin sneered: "Do you think you are the smartest person in the world? Even if you are, I don't care at all. We all have our own destiny. I can see your destiny, but you can't see mine. .So, why should I replace you?”
This is a hint that Xia Lei's end is approaching.
Xia Lei just shrugged and said nothing.
Kerstin carefully inspected his palms for signs of poisoning. His palms were intact, with no signs of poisoning at all. He didn't feel any discomfort in his body. After the inspection, he relaxed a little, but he still didn't dare to pick up the World Box he threw on the ground.
Xia Lei picked up the World Box and avoided the gaps. Just now, he was actually worried that Kerstin would put his finger or something into the gap. In that case, Kerstin would be pulled into the box world and either disappear forever or return to this world as a pile of ashes.
"Do you want to take another look?" Xia Lei asked.
"No, I don't believe you have such good intentions. But no matter what tricks you play, I will find out. You'd better not do anything, otherwise you will regret it." Kerstin said coldly.
Xia Lei smiled, "Are you threatening me?"
"We've finished talking, goodbye." Kerstin turned around and left without any nostalgia.
Kerstin was very eager to decipher the secrets of the World Box and the Crystal Skull, but when facing the Crystal Skull and the World Box, he could actually hold back his curiosity and desire. For this reason alone, Kerstin is a tough opponent.
If Kerstin comes into contact with the World Box, will he go crazy and die like Serenity and the dead experts? This is something unpredictable, but whether it's going crazy or dying, I believe time will give the answer.
Toot toot, toot toot…
The satellite phone suddenly rang. Xia Lei glanced at it and then answered the call. Giovanna's voice came from the phone, "Sheng Lei, we saw Kerstin coming down the mountain, do we want to kill him?"
Xia Lei said: "No, let him go."
"Are you okay over there?" Giovanna asked with concern.
Xia Lei smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll go down the mountain right away."
At the foot of the mountain, a firework suddenly rose into the sky and exploded.
Fireworks during the day.
Xia Lei walked down the mountain. He had finished his work and now it was time to celebrate his sister's wedding.
