Chapter 15 "The Gate of Moros"

"Xiaochi, if you read this text, it means that I have probably encountered misfortune."

The first sentence on the first page stunned Chi Heng, "The old uncle wrote it to me?"

But this is a bit strange. The old uncle left Dock and went to Mississippi to settle for four years before going to the mainland to pick him up and come to the United States. At that time, the old uncle must not have known that his sister would abandon her son and run away four years later. How could it be possible to write down this note four years in advance and leave it to Chi Heng?

Could it be... After he was brought to the United States, the old uncle sneaked back to Dock Town to leave notes?
It doesn't make sense either.

Confused, Chi Heng continued to look down.

"Xiaochi, you must be wondering why I didn't explain it to you, but leave a written record for you here, because obviously, you may not come here, and you may not find the record of this basement when you come here Ben, there are always accidents in life, if you haven't even come to this basement, why bother to tell you so many troublesome things."

"But if you have really found this basement, I think you should have discovered the 'Gate of Moros' in advance, and you are feeling a lot of doubts about it."

When Chi Heng saw this passage, he was a little surprised, because "Moros" is an elf who controls destiny in ancient Greek mythology, and his other name is Oletros (Ολεθρο, meaning "destruction, death"), namely The "Gate of Moros" can also be called the "Gate of Death".

This is obviously not a good vocabulary meaning.

His expression became serious.

"Xiaochi, now I will give you two options. The first option is that you take the inheritance cash I gave you, leave here, return to a stable city, and spend your life in peace. The second option is that you continue to turn around Open the second page of notes, but this means that your life will no longer be ordinary. This extraordinary does not mean glory and wealth, but death and disaster that may come at any time. The only benefit is to satisfy your curiosity, and there are not many A lot of fun."

When Chi Heng saw this, the content of this page came to an end.

Obviously, the old uncle Chen left him the opportunity to choose, whether to choose to spend his life safely, or to satisfy his curiosity and face the threat of death.

To be honest, it would be foolish to risk one's life for a curiosity.

But this curiosity is not caused by ordinary reasons. The mystery of this basement and the hidden source of that door arouse curiosity that is unimaginable.

Chi Heng thought about it carefully. If he gave up all this and left, could he really not think about it, think about it, or regret it for the rest of his life?

I'm afraid it will be difficult to do.

What choices will other people make at this moment?
Take a hundred thousand dollars and leave without hesitation?

Or turn to the second page and uncover the secret in the face of the threat of death?

"Sorry, uncle, as you said, life is always full of accidents. Even if I give up and leave, it doesn't mean that I will be safe, happy and happy for the rest of my life. Maybe I will be robbed halfway?"

Chi Heng laughed at himself jokingly, and opened the second page of notes.

"Well, it seems that you chose to stay, which is not beyond my expectation, because if it were me, I would also make this choice."

"First, let me answer some of your questions and give you some advice."

"I have stayed here for nearly ten years. Writing this note before leaving means that my research has basically failed and given up. One of my main purposes here is to study the 'Gate of Moros' , the magical door that can lead to another world."

Another world?
Chi Heng was startled.

Inside the gate, is it not somewhere on the earth, but another world?Is it another planet?

"You are probably curious, what is another world? What I can tell you is that at least it is not in the Milky Way, because the stars seen at night have nothing to do with any constellations known to us humans, and the magic is , The planet where the world is located has the air that we humans live on. It has exactly the same composition as the earth's atmosphere, even bacteria and viruses, so at first even I couldn't tell whether it was the earth or other planets. Until night, I saw two moons."

"I won't talk about the redundant words here. I am not the first to discover the place where the 'Moros Gate' leads to. Other humans have discovered it long ago. Well, I call those humans the humans of the parallel world. They left a research base there to study the world that the 'Gate of Moros' leads to, and called it 'Absolute Realm'."

"The next thing is the key point. 'Extreme Realm' is very dangerous. In the research bases left by humans in other parallel worlds, I didn't find a single person. Don't be surprised, because I also wonder where they went and why they only left An empty research base, the focus of your future exploration is this research base, maybe you can reveal this secret..."

Behind this passage should be the map that Chen Liu drew by hand, but his hand-drawing is very sloppy, Chi Heng can't quite understand it.

But when you turn to the third page, there are more maps. Chi Heng was so overwhelmed that he couldn't help complaining: "Old man, your drawing is too sloppy, right? How can I understand it? You Don’t doodle if you don’t have this talent!”

"As I said above, 'Extreme Boundary' is very dangerous. I'm not joking. For a special reason, I can't explain it in detail in the notes, because it will bring you danger. I didn't intend to be a riddler. You just need to remember Live at two points. First, you must return to the earth before nightfall. The "Extreme Realm" can only be explored during the day, and there will be great danger at night. Second, the "relics" in the research base and the metal box in the basement room , except for the 'Chilong' you can use, the rest of the boxes must never be destroyed or forcibly opened, if possible, bring the metal box back to the research base to seal it up, and never try to bring it back to Earth."

After reading this page, the doubts in Chi Heng's heart increased instead of diminishing.

The old uncle didn't explain it on purpose, but for some reason, he didn't explain it to him. What is an explanation, and it will bring him danger?Shouldn't it be to explain everything clearly in order to avoid danger?

He remembered that his uncle liked to read Lovecraft's novels, and couldn't help complaining: "Old uncle, are you telling me that the more you know, the more dangerous you are?"

In Lovecraft's novels, there is an eternal law, that is, the more ordinary people know, the more dangerous they are in the face of knowledge and secrets beyond the scope of human cognition.

As soon as Chi Heng saw this passage, he realized that the old uncle was using this metaphor to warn him.

But there are no evil gods in this world, Lovecraft is just a novelist, and his Cthulhu mythology is only a modern myth, or a new genre. In the real world, there is no law that the more you know, the more dangerous you are.

The old uncle used this passage as a metaphor to warn him, it should mean something else.

He paused and thought for a while, but he still didn't understand, but he knew two things, the "absolute boundary" leading to the "Moros Gate" is dangerous, especially at night, so he can't spend the night there.

Secondly, in the room where the metal boxes are stored in the basement, or in other words, those metal boxes, the things stored in them are also dangerous. They should be brought out by the old uncle from the "extreme world". The old uncle seems to regret putting these things They brought it out and asked Chi Heng to have the opportunity to bring these metal boxes back to the "Juejie" research base to seal them up.
