Chapter 105 "Song of the Red Cave"

In a secret apartment on Prince Street in Ettingburg, a mummy-like person wrapped in bandages sat on a chair by the window, watching a transport truck of the Control Bureau passing by the apartment. The male assistant in a suit and tie beside her quietly walked behind her.

"Miss Xianna, I just received news that he broke through the Lighthouse of Fear and the strange phenomenon has disappeared."

"I always thought that the end of the tower connected to the Sea of ​​Roots, and there was no limit. The position reached by Colonel Lion was the limit of what humans could reach. That guy really has hidden dragons and crouching tigers under his hands. There is such a person." Xianna said with a smile.

"Do you want to recruit him?" Zhang Xiaoqiang thought for a while and asked softly.

"Let's observe it again. A strong will is just an admission ticket to the ruins. If you don't have the strength to match it, you will just die in vain. I only have one recommendation quota left. Unless he has the potential to surpass Lin Rizhe, it is better to maintain the original decision."

Zhang Xiaoqiang was startled and surprised.

The original intention of his words just now was just to suggest that Xiana recruit this person as a candidate member, but Xiana actually wanted to recommend him.

Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't quite understand why Miss Xiana had such high expectations for this person.

Conquering the Lighthouse of Fear was indeed a shocking feat, enough to be recorded in the top-secret file.

But in the final analysis, the Lighthouse of Fear was just a safe weird project. Although the level was EX, the danger level was zero.

Conquering the Lighthouse of Fear could only prove that Xia Shou had a super high talent in resisting weird pollution, but it could not prove anything else. Having a lower record than Xia Shou did not mean that he had less potential than Xia Shou.

Colonel Lion, Soul Splitter, Green Python, many famous strong men, lost to this rookie star in the lighthouse record, but this did not mean that Xia Shou had the potential to surpass these predecessors.

In addition, if Xia Shou wanted to compete with Lin Rizhe, the genius finisher, he was far from enough based on his current record.

Lin Rize was only 18 years old when he was awarded the rank of lieutenant under Colonel Lion. During the "Zombie Frenzy Period", he replaced Captain Li Wei to guard the Zombie City. He himself had successfully survived three times from the closed field, and he was carrying super-limited supernatural powers and was also favored by the Split Shears.

If Xia Shou was a genius student who won the first place in the country with full marks in all subjects during the college entrance examination, then Lin Rize was a genius predecessor who once won the first place in the country with full marks in all subjects, and later won multiple gold medals in higher-end academic competitions.

So Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't understand why Xiana regarded Xia Shou as Lin Rize's competitor.

Judging from the current objective record, this famous trump card man is completely incomparable to Lin Rize.

"Miss Xiana, Lieutenant Lin is much more suitable than him, right?"

"At present, he can't compare with Xiaolin, but it's still worth observing for a while." Xiana said.

...

Xia Shou was sitting in the car on the way back when he suddenly felt a gaze from the apartment next to him, but as the car drove, the gaze disappeared in an instant.

Then, Xia Shou's attention was immediately attracted to the Public Security Bureau in front of him.

Because the Public Security Bureau in front of him turned into a Rubik's Cube, a three-by-three Rubik's Cube.

It was as if someone cut the building into three-by-three proportional lines and then messed it up like a Rubik's Cube.

Pedestrians came and went on the road, and such an abnormal scene happened in front of them, but no one noticed it.

Even if there were people who came to the Public Security Bureau to do business, when they walked to the door and saw that the Public Security Bureau had become like this, they would leave very calmly.

It was as if these people subconsciously ignored this abnormal phenomenon.

"Why did the Public Security Bureau become like this?" Xia Shou asked curiously.

"This was caused by the battle between your captain and An Gangxiongwu when you entered the tower. He is now chasing someone. Although he has temporarily lost contact, he will not be in trouble." Edson said with great confidence.

"Then why do ordinary people subconsciously ignore supernatural phenomena?"

He had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

"This phenomenon is called the 'mortal ostrich phenomenon', which means that ordinary people will subconsciously ignore abnormal phenomena when they see them.

No one has yet figured out the real reason, but the generally accepted theory is that ignoring supernatural phenomena is a special recognition ability that humans have evolved to deal with supernatural powers.

From another perspective, ordinary people's ability to distinguish supernatural phenomena is actually stronger and more accurate than that of all supernatural people."

"More accurate than supernatural people? If they can't see it, why is it more accurate?" Xia Shou asked puzzled.

"Let me give you an example. You also saw the Public Security Bureau that was disrupted like a Rubik's Cube just now.

If we use conventional physical means to cut the building into pieces, and then shuffle the order and stack them up to make it look exactly the same as it does now, ordinary people will be able to see it at a glance, and they will be surprised.

But now, this building has become like this because of Baihe's ability, so they can't see it.

Even though the appearance is the same, ordinary people can distinguish which things are caused by extraordinary power and which things are caused by physical means. They can very accurately ignore the supernatural phenomena caused by extraordinary power.

This is something that most extraordinary people cannot do."

"I see, interesting!"

"Haha, it is indeed very interesting, so there is another theory that says that from an individual perspective, extraordinary people seem to be the favored ones of heaven, but from a population level, the group of mortals is the fully evolved state, and we are the inferior ones. ." Edson said.

Xia Shou nodded, feeling that he had become more knowledgeable again.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the auto repair shop. Xia Shou once again passed the office closet elevator and returned to the underground control bureau.

And Edson immediately found someone to decipher the broken pages that Xia Shou brought back.

As Edson said, the fragment was deciphered very quickly, taking only half an hour.

Half an hour later, the translator came to Xia Shou with the deciphered version.

"According to my guess, the author of these texts probably also learned about these contents from older books, and then wrote them down in the noble ceremonial language." The translator said to Xia Shou.

"That is to say...this is no longer the original version." Xia Shou frowned.

"Of course, but don't pay too much attention to it. In fact, all the books we read now are not original. It can be said that after any work is translated, there will inevitably be a loss of information.

Therefore, even if it is a modern masterpiece, it is not considered the original original version after translation.

As for the more distant Greek myths, Nordic myths, and other fables, they have all been modified in various details, which is inevitable in the process of spreading the text.

As for the language used in this fragmentary page, it is more secretive than the lingua franca of the world, and has no real life application scenarios. Therefore, even if it is translated, it cannot perfectly restore the artistic conception, and we can only roughly summarize the rough content. "

Xia Shou nodded and picked up the deciphered page. The translated content only filled half a page.

Su Weiyu on the side also came up curiously, reading the clues she finally got.

The beginning of this page has already stated that this fragment comes from an epic book called "Song of the Red Cave", which records how the blood god's mother became pregnant with the blood god.

Its opening chapter describes a very strange scene...

[In the 700th year after the Silver Moon was knocked down by the summer hunt, the Red Duke finally made up his mind to go on an expedition against Silver Moon City.

He took 30,000 corpses of brave and skilled warriors down the frozen waterfall in winter. The biting cold wind protected the warriors. When they came to the thousand-foot-high wall of Silver Moon City, their limbs The joints were still like steel that had been frozen hard in the cold winter.

Under the wailing of thirty thousand corpses day and night, a corner of the walls of Silvery Moon City collapsed. The Duke was able to conquer the city, and the banquet that had lasted for thousands of years in the city came to an end.

To celebrate this unprecedented victory, the Red Duke threw beasts and men into a gladiatorial arena that revolved day and night, where they fought day and night.

The corpses of beasts and humans were like slurry crushed on a millstone, gurgling down from the edge of the arena, and the blood continued day and night.

The Duke put all the corpses and blood into a deep cave. The deep cave could not see the light of day, and every blind corner was occupied by shadows. This place was also the resting place for the victors.

The corpses and blood of countless losers rotted in the cave, without any fresh air, and very few living creatures could live here for a long time.

But occasionally, there were living creatures that could live in the caves, but the Duke never bathed them or provided them with any water.

The corpses of their enemies are their food;

The blood of the enemy is their drinking water.

On the night when the Silver Moon was replenished, a skinny dog ​​came from the west, jumped onto the rotating arena, tore the three lions into pieces, and was then supported by the whole city and sent into the arena. The incomparably noble abode of the victor.

It lay dormant among the rotting flesh and blood, its wounds scabbed and healed in the corpse odor, and its hair was condensed into hard lumps by the dried plasma.

It fights all the time. During the day, it engages in thirty-three thousand bloody gladiatorial battles. At night, it sleeps with its eyes open in the red cave.

It won the duels again and again, constantly devouring the courage and strength of the losers, using fear and wails as food, and its skinny body became stronger and more frightening, and finally became as majestic as a hill.

So the Duke asked his most beautiful daughter to wear a red dress, and ordered her to cut off his head and place it on a bone plate made of a lion's skull as a dowry to be presented to the great undefeated beast.

The whole city witnessed this grand wedding. Hundreds of thousands of pairs of eyes saw the duke's daughter stepping on the bones of hundreds of animals and people into the deep red cave. The sound of joy from the cave continued for three months. .

On the third day of the third month, the duke's daughter came out of the cave after being conceived, while the beast spent all it had and withered into a small mound of bones.

It is said that its bones are like blood and are always bright red. 】
