Restricted area grave keeper

The real meaning of the stone tablet in the restricted area is actually a tombstone.

The people present are representatives of the major forces, so they are naturally not simple characters. They have dealt with the restricted area for so long, and they have a full understanding of it, but they can't be fooled by any information. If this sentence comes from someone else If they say it out of their mouths, they will definitely not show a good face.

...But the person who said this was Xue Hongyu.

It was Xue Hongyu who was believed to be born to decipher the restricted area.

At the moment when everyone was still staring at the restricted area, what she said was almost equivalent to the truth.

Everyone held their breath and waited silently for Xue Hongyu's next words.

And Xue Hongyu had no intention of showing off, and said, "I once sent people to excavate a small restricted area for half a year. The excavation depth exceeded a thousand meters, and finally found something special."

"what?"

At this moment, a childish voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone froze for a moment, only to realize that a little girl with sleepy eyes appeared in the meeting room at some point. Although Xue Hongyu had been talking about such important information just now, the little girl seemed to be dozing off all the time.

The girl yawned and pondered, "I seem to have heard that there is something under the restricted area before, but I don't know what it is..."

Everyone was still at a loss for this girl who appeared suddenly, but they lost their composure instantly when they heard the words. Listening to what this girl said... Could it be that she knew about the abnormality under the restricted zone earlier than Xue Hongyu?

Listen to what people say, who to listen to?
"I remember this child, it seems to be called Ya Ya, who also appeared yesterday..."

Gradually, everyone gradually remembered who this girl was—it was said that she was a member of an abandoned disciple organization called Xinya, and she could also be said to be the most mysterious one among the people who attended the meeting, after all, she was too young. And her body always seems to be shrouded in a layer of mist, so that it is always easy for everyone to ignore her.

Seeing everyone's gazes coming, He Shang patted Ya Ya's head and reminded: "Don't talk at this time, just listen to the sister on the stage."

Unexpectedly, Yaya knocked off his hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "Big bald head, why don't you let me talk?"

God is so bald!It's all because of Yan Yan's nonsense!
The corner of He Shang's mouth twitched, but luckily Yan spoke in time: "It's really not right to talk at this time, it's a matter of politeness."

Although Ya Ya is a little girl, she seems to like beautiful women very much, so Yan's words are more useful than He Shang's, and she nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, and said happily: "Okay, I will listen to my sister, I will polite!"

But the key problem is that this woman Yan obviously wears a mask all day long, her temper and mouth are very smelly, and I don't know how this little Douding can see that she is a beautiful woman...

While slandering in his heart, He Shang glanced coldly at the people who had been staring at this side, warning them not to look at this place again.

At this moment, Chen Yin in the wheelchair suddenly said: "I don't know whether you are really stupid or not, since the stone monument in the restricted area is a tombstone, it is not difficult to imagine the things dug from the ground of the restricted area...Of course It's a corpse."

Xue Hongyu on the stage took a deep look at Yaya first, then nodded and said, "That's right, it is indeed a corpse."

Although they had already guessed in their hearts, when Xue Hongyu actually said these words, everyone still felt palpitations unavoidably.

"It turned out to be a corpse..."

Only Yaya muttered softly, looking very disappointed.

"Whose body?" Yan asked calmly.

Xue Hongyu didn't answer directly, but said: "There is a huge stone platform at the bottom of the restricted area, and there is a door that is almost broken in the center of the stone platform."

"According to the excavator's report, there seems to be no movement behind the door, and there is no response from the surrounding things that are obviously similar to the prohibition. Although there is no way to visit the site, according to my guess, this door should be used to seal Subjects whose existence is unknown."

Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"As for the reason why there is no movement behind the door, I think it is because the existence sealed behind the door is dead."

"Dead?" Everyone's expression changed slightly.

"That's right." Xue Hongyu said seriously, "Not all lives are as incomprehensible as gods. It's not a strange thing for some existences to die because they couldn't bear the long-term seal. There is indeed no breath of life behind the door. , what the diggers have repeatedly verified at this time is."

"Let me speculate like this—the danger level of the restricted area may be arranged by the strength of the existence sealed behind the door, because the stronger the existence can provide more energy feedback for the restricted area, the restricted creatures inside will naturally It's even more dangerous...so I think the seal in the S-level restricted area is most likely a god."

"Of course, there are a lot of S-level restricted areas, and it's impossible for all of them to be filled with gods, so this inference is yet to be determined, but at least like those low-risk restricted areas where there is no abnormality on weekdays, the reason why there is no change, I think there is a high probability that it is because of the seal. For the sake of being dead."

When everyone was silent, Chen Yin planned to say: "Compared with this, I am more interested in what the corpses under the restricted area are."

This was also what other people thought, but they could see that Xue Hongyu didn't seem to want to reveal the identity of the corpse, so he didn't ask aloud.

But it's strange... Is there anything else that can't be said?

"A huge stone pillar stands on the edge of the stone platform. It is made of unknown material. It is unimaginably long and extends out of the ground. According to confirmation, the end of the stone pillar is connected to the forbidden stone tablet."

Xue Hongyu seemed not to have heard Chen Yin's words, and said to himself, "In other words, the stone tablet in the restricted area is integrated with the entire stone platform, so it cannot be removed at all. As for whether there are other strange things, What is the significance of the stone pillars, these are not yet confirmed."

Everyone suppressed their curiosity and listened silently.

Since Xue Hongyu didn't want to directly reveal the identity of the corpse, it was impossible for them to force the other party to question him further.

But at this moment, Xue Hongyu suddenly said: "The corpses were found nearly a hundred meters below the stone platform. According to the judgment of the excavators, the number of corpses is quite large, and it is impossible to count them with the naked eye. The most conservative estimate puts the number of corpses at more than ten thousand."

More than [-] corpses...

Everyone's heart froze.

Xue Hongyu looked at everyone for a while and said, "As for the identity of the corpse that you are all concerned about, I can also tell you..."

"It's a human being." She paused for a moment, "...a human being just like us."

"what!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the conference room changed their expressions, especially Lu Zhan, who had a horrified expression on his face, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

He Shang said solemnly: "That is to say... there are tens of thousands of human corpses buried under the forbidden area used to seal the gods?"

It has to be said that this news is undoubtedly a devastating blow to everyone at this moment.

In the future that Yan sees, there must be a battle between humans and gods. The two sides are undoubtedly in a hostile relationship, so they can only hope for the existence of the forbidden zone that once sealed the gods.

However, judging from the current situation, the existence behind the forbidden area seems to be full of malice towards human beings, otherwise tens of thousands of human beings would never be killed—and this not only means that the chance of finding hope from them is shattered, but also means In addition to gods, human beings may have a second terrible enemy.

Everyone's hearts seemed to be suddenly pressed against a boulder.

While restless, Chen Yin asked, "Can I ask how those corpses died?"

Xue Hongyu glanced at him, and said calmly: "The ones who were killed all died tragically, probably in the same way as the sacrificed humans in Extreme Night City."

Hearing this, the last hope in everyone's hearts was also shattered.

They were still wondering if these human beings just died naturally. The death itself might not be related to the existence behind the restricted area. After all, there is such a large tombstone outside the restricted area, which is obviously a mourning.

But judging from Xue Hongyu's words just now, it seems that they were simply used as sacrifices, and their role is probably to maintain the existence of the restricted area...

"At present, we have not dug through the ground of the second restricted area, so we cannot confirm whether each restricted area is similarly arranged, and we are not sure whether there are many human corpses buried under each restricted area."

Xue Hongyu said in a deep voice, "However, once it is confirmed that this is the case, it means that our situation will become very dangerous."

"It is only a rough estimate that there are at least a hundred restricted areas today. If there are more than tens of thousands of human corpses under each restricted area, it also means that the human casualties in the past have exceeded one million—and this It’s just a conservative estimate.”

"According to normal understanding, the greater the number of sacrifices, the stronger the power that can be gained. That is to say, there may be more corpses buried under the restricted area with a higher level of danger... You must know what we have dug up before. Just a small D-Class exclusion zone."

There was a dead silence in the meeting room.

Everyone suddenly understood why Xue Hongyu was unwilling to reveal the identity of the corpse just now——

Because behind this series of messages... what it brings is deep despair.

Once it is confirmed that there are tens of thousands of human corpses buried under each restricted area, it means that the existence of the restricted area and human beings can never be a friendly relationship-they can only be enemies of human beings, and they are also mortal enemies.

I used to say that the enemy of the enemy is my friend... But judging from the current situation, it may be more likely that the gods and the existence behind the restricted area will join forces to kill all humans first. After all, the two sides obviously regard them as random The object of the killing.

Hearing such a heavy news, even He Shang couldn't help being upset. He turned his head and glanced at Yaya, wondering if such a child would be too scared after hearing such news, who knew that the latter would actually fall asleep And it seems that he slept soundly.

Everyone in the audience had different expressions, and after hearing that the corpses buried under the restricted area were tens of thousands of human beings, Lu Zhan stayed in his seat, wondering what he was thinking.

Xu Han at the side seemed to know what he was thinking, stared at him for a moment, shook his head and said, "It seems that your expectations have failed."

Lu Zhan didn't speak.

Xu Han continued: "But to be honest, when I heard that the gods are terrible creatures, I just had the same expectation as you in my mind - I didn't mean to mock you, after all, we are all human beings. , and humans have always been creatures who like to have expectations of others."

"You're wrong, I don't expect anyone."

Lu Zhan shook his head slightly, then murmured in a low voice, "No wonder Dr. Xue said he couldn't give an answer easily,..."

Seeing that everyone had almost digested the news just now, Xue Hongyu on the stage said: "The reason why I didn't tell you the identity of the corpse immediately was not because I was worried that you would fall into despair——that's not me. Things to consider, the reason for this is because I have some doubts about my own judgment."

Everyone looked up at her, not quite understanding what the other party meant.

"From many of my previous conclusions, you should be able to hear that my view of the restricted area is more that it is beneficial to us humans. After all, whether only living humans can enter and exit the restricted area at will, or since the restricted area appeared, Human beings quickly gained extraordinary power and continued to develop... All in all, all this shows one thing—"

"That is, for human beings, the emergence of the restricted area is more beneficial than harmful. This is a turning point, so I have always been inclined to the existence behind the restricted area that humans can cooperate with."

Everyone thought about it carefully for a moment, and it seemed that Xue Hongyu did have this intention before.

That's how it is... So when she learned that a large number of human corpses were buried under the restricted area, she was probably as shocked as they were, and she was already unsure about the position of the people behind the restricted area.

After a moment of silence, Xue Hongyu continued: "First of all, we must make one thing clear, that is, no matter whether the restricted area appears or not, the fact that the gods will eventually destroy human beings cannot be changed-so everyone may wish to imagine that if the restricted area really does not According to the original development track of human beings, is it possible to deal with gods only with the power of technology?"

"The answer is no, and we all have a deep understanding of the power of extraordinary power."

As soon as the voice fell, someone sighed: "But even if we have gained extraordinary power now, we are still powerless against the gods... and the time when the restricted area first appeared took away too many lives, and the number of human beings was almost cut in half. , and... Dr. Xue, how can you be sure that the appearance of gods in the future has nothing to do with the appearance of restricted areas?"

In his judgment, if the restricted area hadn't appeared in the first place, then naturally the future of the gods descending would not have happened.

"Ah."

But Chen Yin suddenly sarcastically said, "In my opinion, it is a stupid idea to use what happened in the past to determine what the future will be like—since something has happened that cannot be changed, then we must prepare for the corresponding future. Prepare instead of dreaming about the relationship between the past and the future."

Perhaps because the future was beyond Chen Yin's expectations, he didn't bother to pretend to be the gentle and elegant posture before.

"I'm just denying that the restricted area is more beneficial to human beings than harmful! If the restricted area did not exist, then we would not be in this desperate situation now."

"It's so stupid, if you don't want the restricted area to appear, then you should have prevented it from coming at the beginning - but you can't do it. Besides, no matter whether the restricted area appears or not, the coming of the gods must be a foregone conclusion, and with the previous speed of technological development of human beings, by then It must be impossible to create a weapon capable of defending against the gods."

Chen Yin sneered, "So when time is tight, only incomprehensible things like extraordinary power can bring us a rapid increase in strength. From this point of view, the forbidden area is definitely more beneficial than harmful to human beings, otherwise we Maybe they didn't realize the existence of gods, and they were already extinct without knowing it!"

The man's face turned green and pale. He was obviously hit by a series of bad news. He actually started to think about such a boring question, and said forcefully: "But as I said just now, if the restricted area does not appear, then the gods will Maybe it won’t come! It’s because of the forbidden zone that there will be a subsequent crisis!”

"That's impossible."

At this moment, Yan's calm voice sounded, "In the past, we often found that there were many unknown gaps in the long history of mankind. Human beings seemed to have popped up suddenly, which obviously cannot be explained by science. .”

"But I think you have already understood that this kind of thing is not unexplainable. The reason why human beings suddenly appeared after a blank history is not because they skipped some processes, but because there have been countless times before us. era."

"It's just sad that those times have been erased by unknown beings."

"Thinking about it now, the only thing that can erase an era... maybe only gods."

The crowd was silent.

"Yes, the gods have such abilities..."

Yan Jingjing glanced at everyone in the meeting room, looked at the expressions of fear or worry on their faces, and said lightly, "Every era will perish, so our era will inevitably be destroyed by the gods one day in the near future." erasure, that cannot be changed.”

"So you can now reconsider, for us...is the presence of the restricted area a good or a bad thing."
