Chapter 237

[In order to investigate the secrets related to the origin of the abandoned capital. 】

[I found a development diary about Ruins No. 2. 】

[It took me a lot of hard work to get this book—I fought fiercely with the manager of the Hualiu store for a whole night, and I finally got this diary from her after a lot of hard work. 】

[According to the store manager, the owner of the diary was once a director of the energy company RG, who was once prominent. 】

[It was only later that he was fired from the company for some special reasons, and he was extremely depressed. 】

[When spending time in their shop, he couldn't even pay the necessary expenses. He once wanted to go whoring for nothing, but in the end, he had no choice but to take out some items he carried with him instead. This diary is in it. 】

[That was all ten years ago. 】

[If I hadn't asked about it today, the store manager would have forgotten all about it long ago. 】

[The following is an excerpt from that diary. 】

An Le is in a weird mood... Am I reading a diary in a diary?

【March 29】

[The weather is good today, this is my first month as a senior director of RG. 】

[I have to say that the power I have at this time is greater than I originally expected, and this feeling is really unstoppable. 】

[But at the same time, my work is also extremely busy, and even the time for dating Miss Secretary has been greatly reduced. 】

After reading this sentence, An Le knew that the supervisor was probably a guy who had the same smell as Xin Qingyi.

LSPs will attract each other!

[And just today, I received a job personally assigned by the chairman - to develop the No. 2 ruins outside the abandoned city. 】

[After hearing the news, I understand that this is both an opportunity and a challenge. 】

[The results of this development may directly determine whether I can climb to a higher position in the future. 】

[For this reason, I conducted a preliminary investigation, the process of developing the No. 1 ruins in the past. 】

[The information collected by Miss Secretary makes me a little uneasy. 】

[The person in charge of the development of Ruins No. 1 died unexpectedly, and the main developers seem to have no good results. Many people suddenly resigned for unknown reasons, and some people even disappeared in a strange way. 】

[The information all shows that in those ancient mysterious ruins, apart from opportunities such as precious materials and more advanced technologies, there are also unknown and terrifying crises. 】

[However, I have no way out. 】

[Since I am sitting in this position, there are some things that I have to face. 】

[But before going to the field for investigation, I am going to spend a happy weekend with Miss Secretary. 】

…………

【April 12】

[I officially left the abandoned city and went to the No. 2 ruins. 】

An Le: "..."

What about the weekend?

Hasn't it been two weeks?

I'm afraid this supervisor has been indulging in tenderness for the past two weeks, right?

He couldn't help complaining from the bottom of his heart.

[In the past two weeks, it's not that I haven't done anything. 】

[I have already sent the most elite men to investigate the situation in the ruins first. 】

[The result is not bad. So far, the excavation project is proceeding in an orderly manner, and no worker has been heard of missing or accident. 】

Worker?

An Le thought for a while, and quickly figured it out.

After all, the development of this kind of relic is destined to be impossible to be completed by a small number of two or three teams, or elite transcendental beings.

The three major companies are bound to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, and even various large-scale civil engineering equipment, in order to bring the relics that were originally buried underground to the sky.

As for the person in charge of the company, it is naturally impossible to go to the construction site in person every day like the workers below.

And it is reasonable to only need to be responsible for the overall overall planning, and take the time to flirt with the little secretary.

Some people are born as cattle and horses, and some people are born in Rome.

An Le continued to look down.

[As far as the current situation is concerned, the previous bad statements are just rumors. 】

[There is also a possibility that the No. 2 ruins are fundamentally different from the No. 1 ruins. 】

[When I came to the development site of the ruins, my subordinates told me that they had made a major breakthrough. 】

[Workers unearthed a wall with murals painted on it. 】

[And in a small dark room under the wall, several pieces of parchment with weird characters were found. 】

[It is obviously not accurate enough to say that it is parchment. 】

【It's an unknown kind of leather, as far as the subordinate's senses are concerned, it's more like...】

[I immediately realized that these murals and leather must not be ordinary. 】

[Immediately, I ordered the area where the murals were found to be sealed off, and I dispatched expert researchers from the city to try to use their power to decipher the mysterious characters on the murals and paper. 】

[For the sake of caution, I did not directly touch or look directly at the murals. 】

[Instead, let someone take the photo. 】

[I thought about it seriously, and felt that this method was not very safe, so I simply asked my subordinates to relay the contents of the mural for me. 】

[According to them, the frescoes seem to be sequenced chronologically. 】

[The first mural was a hazy and chaotic cloud, in which there seemed to be some existences whose shapes could not be seen clearly. 】

[Then, a sun emitting billions of brilliance was born out of nowhere. 】

[It is worth noting that the mural is above the sun, drawing a crack-like existence. 】

[It seems to want to show that... this sun came to this place from another space? 】

[Billions of brilliance sway. 】

【The fog dissipated, and the monster hiding in it also disappeared. 】

[The picture looks magnificent and beautiful, but it gives people an indescribable sense of weirdness. 】

[Under the radiance, countless villains gradually appeared, and slowly multiplied. 】

[Obviously, that is a human being. 】

[Hearing this, I thought it was just the murals of the creation and historical evolution of ordinary gods. 】

[In countless religions and ancient civilizations, there will be such records. 】

[Maybe, this is a derivative belief of Huijiao. 】

Because Huijiao spreads all over the world and has an extremely wide range, it also has its own branch sects in various regions.

Although they also believe in the Lord of Radiance, their teachings, the order and introduction of their disciples are different. There are some minor differences.

It is equivalent to the spread of a certain cuisine in Huaguo to other provinces, and it will naturally be adjusted and localized according to the tastes of the local people.

Religion is also similar.

[Then I quickly discovered that I was wrong. 】

[Under the originally radiant sun in the mural, there appeared an existence that was exactly the same size as it, but the color was painted completely black. 】

[It's like...a pure black sun. 】

[If the people in the murals respect and worship the normal sun, then they are full of fear for this round of black sun. 】

[In any scene where the black sun exists, the humans on the ground are fleeing in a hurry, as if a catastrophe is coming. ]

[Suddenly, on a mural. 】

[The day disappears, leaving only the oppressively dark black day. 】

[The entire mural was painted black, as if to exaggerate the horror of the disaster. 】

[And the next mural will look like a city. 】

[I have seen a similar scene in a precious video record, and I can vaguely recognize it as an abandoned city before it was destroyed by a nuclear bomb. 】

【—Of course, the Abandoned City was not called the Abandoned City at that time. 】

[The black sun fell from the sky and landed in this city. 】

[But this time, the people in the city knew nothing about the danger coming. 】

[The black sun turned into countless streams of black light, quietly penetrating into every corner of the city. 】

[Afterwards, there are some tiny scenes. 】

[For example, someone pays homage to the black streamer. 】

[As if seeing the gods he believes in, his expression is extremely fanatical. 】

[For another example, some people fell into extremely painful struggles after being drilled into the body by the streamer. 】

【It's just that the struggle was completely futile. 】

[They either choose to commit suicide tragically, or their eyes turn pure black. 】

[This seems to indicate that the inside of these people has been replaced by another formless existence. 】

[The people who were replaced by the black streamer started to carry out activities that are difficult for ordinary people to understand. 】

[They established a base outside the city as a stronghold. 】

[And brought several pregnant women into the base and gave them many special medicines. 】

[A mural also records large and small bottles and jars, which contain different liquids and herbs. 】

【As pregnant women's bellies bulge day by day, so do the babies inside them. 】

【Until... the day of delivery. 】

[The woman's abdomen is cut open from the inside, and a baby emerges from it. 】

[The baby seems to have a human body, but in fact, he is not human at all! 】

[It’s just a monster in human skin. 】

[The baby's face does not have any facial features, like a so-called "faceless man."]

[After dissecting the mother's womb, the faceless baby was distorted, wriggling and growing organs that humans shouldn't have. 】

[Several big mouths full of sharp teeth opened from the chest, as if some cold-blooded animal broke out of the shell and ate the eggshell, and swallowed the miserable woman into the belly. 】

[Then, the people with black eyes lifted the baby up high, cheering and celebrating his birth. 】

[I don't know if this is painted by the murals for artistic effect, or if those babies actually have such faces. 】

[But just hearing such a description from my subordinates, I already shudder. 】

[My most trusted confidant has not been able to recover for a long time, and it seems to have left a certain psychological shadow. 】

[There were far more than one woman brought into the stronghold, and the drugs they took were also different. 】

[Some can successfully hatch faceless babies, while others can only give birth to alien monsters with bony spurs and deformed flesh and blood. 】

[The people with black eyes seem to be constantly experimenting to create a more perfect existence that is closer to their requirements. 】

[However, in their view, those alien monsters are not worthless waste. 】

[But as some kind of expendable combat unit, it has other uses. 】

[I originally thought that with the increase and growth of faceless babies, there would be more cruel murals, but my subordinates told me that the murals came to an abrupt end here. 】

【This surprised me. 】

[Could it be that when the mural was painted, there was some special force that directly interrupted the project? 】

"this……"

Anle murmured.

To be honest, the amount of information contained in this diary is too great, and even he couldn't digest it for a while.

Will the sun be the Lord of Radiance?

What the mural wants to express is that the Lord of Hui is not the local god of this world? but...

Outsiders?

And what does that black day refer to?

Is it the other side of the Lord of Radiance, or is it just a symbolic technique?

What is the connection between him and the legendary ancient horror that is indescribable?

On the contrary, the content of the second half is relatively clear.

The Black Sun attempts to create a brand new existence to replace the existing humans.

If An Le guessed correctly, the reason why the content of this mural ended here was precisely because of the explosion of the nuclear bomb.

In this way, it can also explain why the former abandoned city did not hesitate to use nuclear bombs to destroy that existence with a method that was close to annihilation.

Because this is far from the gain or loss of one person, one force, or one city. It is about the dangers of all human beings, of the entire race.

Suppressing this complicated mood, An Le flipped through the book again.

【April 14】

[Today's weather is very bad, there is fine drizzle floating in the sky. 】

[These raindrops have extremely strong acid-etching characteristics, and if they come into contact with raindrops rashly, they will cause irreversible damage to the skin. 】

[I'm also in a bad mood. 】

[Because just this morning, the construction team leader reported to me that three workers had nightmares last night and were in a poor state of mind. 】

[If it were normal, I wouldn't care about such trivial matters at all. 】

[As long as the workers' treatment is raised a little, you can reap a lot of gratitude, and the troubles will be solved. 】

[But this time is different. 】

[Because the three workers, without exception, are people who have personally participated in the excavation and witnessed the wall where the mysterious mural is located. 】

[This is not a good sign. 】

[But the transcendent couldn't detect the abnormality on those three people. 】

【Hope...they are just ordinary nightmares...】

…………

【April 16】

[There are more and more workers experiencing symptoms of nightmares and mental depression, and there is a vague tendency to spread. 】

[The worst thing is that even several of my trustworthy subordinates have symptoms of varying degrees. 】

[As for the experts responsible for deciphering the murals and parchment, they were frightened when they heard the news, and they were unwilling to continue their research. 】

[Only a doctor surnamed Wang is willing to take the risk of research. 】

[I reported the abnormality here to the company headquarters, but only received a statement that they would send professionals to deal with it after a while. 】

[I am too familiar with this trick of the personnel department. 】

[Talk to deal with it, and then keep saying that they can't find enough manpower, and they are arguing with each other, and it has been a long time since they were arguing. 】

[The best way now is undoubtedly to suspend the construction and wait for the support from the headquarters to arrive. 】

[And if you do that, it is estimated that the chairman's evaluation of my work will be lowered. 】

【I can not accept. 】

[For this reason, I can only bite the bullet and continue. 】

【hope everything is fine! 】
