my stealth fighter

Chapter 974 Communication
The sky outside had already turned dark, and it was even darker inside the cave. A little sunlight could still see through the cave entrance, but the depths of the cave were pitch black. The only light source was the torch brought by the head of the school as a kindling, but it burned After a long journey, it was already at the end of its strength. It stands to reason that it should have been renewed a long time ago, but the two of them were deeply attracted by the murals, so they procrastinated, thinking that the torch would not be extinguished for a while anyway. Thinking of it...

The torch is soaked in fish oil, burning the last of its life. The breeze caused the flame to flicker, and the dim fire light not only does not bring peace of mind, but also reflects the ghosts and shadows in the cave. But if it is really of going off at this point...that's still quite a headache.

Although Arabella claims that she can see "ghosts", or the consciousness left after death, after all, her brain has not learned to edit pictures since she was a child, and others do not have this condition, but Jiang Chanji never knew that she had this ability , I ran into a "ghost" unexpectedly, and my back felt a little chilly, especially since he was still holding the other's head in his hands. If I want to argue, I'm afraid I don't understand the language, and I don't know if the telekinetic barrier can stop ghosts.

In contrast, although the head of the academy was still in shock, she could at least remain quite calm. She didn't quite believe that the figure in front of her was a ghost, at least not in the conventional sense. Otherwise, if there were really ghosts in this world... Then no matter how hard the two of them struggle, it will be a dead end.

Just when the two of them...to put it nicely, they just waited and watched, and to say badly, they were dumbfounded, that vague figure actually moved and approached them slowly.

"No, didn't you say that ghosts have no legs?" Jiang Chanji was under great pressure, because his telekinetic barrier had been easily broken through, as if it hadn't taken effect, and said in a low voice, "Or is it that the national conditions are different? Here Ghosts have legs?"

The dean ignored his stupidity, no matter whether the other party was a human or a ghost, she had nothing to fear, even if it was a ghost, if necessary, she would send it to another dimension.

She stood up straight, pulled Jiang Chanji behind her, and waited quietly for the figure to approach. In fact, she was fully on guard, and Jiang Chanji quietly turned on the power of the infrared mirror—it really was a ghost, and there was no heat source displayed in the infrared mirror.

The figure finally stopped about seven or eight steps away. From such a short distance, the head of the school had already seen the figure clearly. What surprised her even more was that she originally thought that the appearance of this... ape shadow should be closer to The ape is right, but when you look closely at its appearance, it already looks seventy percent like a human.

The proportion of its head to body may be larger than that of humans. This reminds the head of the academy of the legend of Neanderthals. It is said that their brains are larger than that of Homo sapiens. There may be a great relationship, but its appearance is far closer to humans than Neanderthals, with a full forehead, a less protruding mouth, less obvious buck teeth, large eyes, and neither much nor dense body hair. Some of them look like big-headed dolls in New Year pictures, which are not ugly.

It seems that after they escaped to this world, they evolved very fast, and this skeleton remained in the cave all the time. Maybe it was one of the last apes alive, and also the apes who went the farthest on the evolutionary path , otherwise there is no way to explain why its remains were not restrained after death, and even the precious gold and jade shells were scattered all over the place.

The head of the school has already searched for various scientific explanations in her mind. She tends to be that a certain mineral in the cave recorded the last image of the ape-man like a camera in a specific environment. Although this explanation is also far-fetched, she couldn't find it. Better explained.

However, if it was an image, why did its line of sight... have precisely moved to her face?Then it moved from her face to Jiang Chanji's face, and finally landed on the skull he was holding in his hand?

Its mouth moved, as if it was talking, but it was obviously impossible to make any sound. It seemed to be aware of this, closed its mouth, and approached them again.

The dean raised his hands on his chest, ready to fight, but it seemed to have read her warning, and changed its direction slightly, instead of walking straight towards them, it went around from their side.

The two of them moved to the other side of the cave wall to make way for it, and it walked past them sideways, but it didn't go to the cave entrance as they expected, but... walked around and watched them, from head to foot , and from the feet to the head.

As things stand now, it can't be some kind of image anyway, either a ghost or something else, but it's somehow alive anyway.

The dean pointed to it, then pointed to its skeleton, and repeated alternately.

It has observed the two of them several times, walked to its own skeleton, squatted down as if it wanted to touch it, but it definitely couldn't touch it, and its face seemed to show a look of sadness.

After a while, it stood up and pointed to them.

The dean guessed that it was asking where they came from, so he walked to the first mural, pointed to the "passage" in the mural, and then pointed to the Homo sapiens fighting the ape-man in the first mural, and then Pointing to himself and Jiang Chanji.

Its already big eyes suddenly opened wider, and it took two steps back in fear, but it may have realized that it was already dead, and there was no need to be afraid anymore, so it stood still.

The head of the school can understand that if it is indeed conscious, it must be very... sad at this time, probably because it has the feeling that it is determined to kill the thief and cannot recover, but it cannot have personally experienced the final decisive battle between the ape man and the homo sapiens, and it should only be Listen to the stories passed down by generations of ancestors, so mood swings are acceptable.

Jiang Chanji felt that this thing didn't seem to be hostile, and felt a little relieved. He couldn't help feeling suspicious, thinking of the Homo sapiens ancestors in his body and the ape-man ancestors in Pasinkova's body. They seemed to have retained consciousness for a long time in some way, and finally Each chooses the target to be reincarnated or possessed. Could it be that the...evolved ape-man in front of him also uses a similar method to retain consciousness after death?But in terms of this point alone, it was much more successful than those two ancestors, and even retained its previous form.

It's a pity that Pasinkova is not here, otherwise he would really like to see what kind of scene the old and new ape-man ancestors meet, but in fact, the one in front of him has evolved too much, almost belonging to a different species from the old ape-man ancestor. Even if they do meet, they may not have a common language.
