He Feng pointed at the jade statue in front of him and sighed, "It’s a good thing, but it’s a sha we arrived too late. Or perhaps it’s precisely because we ca late that we’re safe."
Li Changhe found it strange. He knew He Feng’s temperant very well, so it was unexpected for He Feng to have such a tone of regret yet also relief. He shouldn’t, right?
"You take a look. I bet you’ll be even angrier than , maybe even cursing directly."
He Feng extended his finger and gestured for him to look behind the jade statue, where the clue was.
"Underestimate ? I have a perfectly contented state of mind." Li Changhe shook his head slightly, and the azure fla flickered. This wasn’t a brag.
After all, after strengthening with many soul cards, Li Changhe’s state of mind was very firm as long as he didn’t activate Soldier.
As he walked behind the jade statue, he realized that he hadn’t seen the broken part behind it due to his earlier angle.
The backside of the jade statue showed a jagged opening, as if it had been smashed from the inside, revealing a hollow interior.
Sothing occurred to Li Changhe: the jade statue was like a cicada pupa. Was it ant to symbolize so insect-like creature breaking out of its cocoon?
Behind the statue, there were several areas on the floor where the dust had been cleaned away. This must be the clue that He Feng and the others had found. Densely packed English words were engraved on it.
So letters were severely damaged, but with context, they could still be roughly discerned. He wondered why they were carved into the floor.
Li Changhe’s English was quite average, but thankfully, Yun Ting could help with the translation, allowing them to understand the general aning.
After all, Yun Ting was the kind of woman who would catch up on shows and watch dramas in her spare ti. She had watched all the dubbed versions and even the raw ones... It wouldn’t be long before she could pass the TOEFL exam.
Li Changhe squatted down and let his gauntlet trace over the words. They appeared to have been carved into the floor with a sharp object. So of the letters were dark in color, like the remnants of coagulated blood.
"I don’t know if those who co here will be from the company. Maybe no one will ever co, and soon this place will beco a living hell?
But I still want to leave a trace while I’m still rational. We have offended it..."
The characters at this point showed signs of sliding, possibly an attempt to change them, but ultimately abandoned. They were replaced with ’She’ afterward.
"No, it’s her. Compared to us, she may be wiser and more advanced. I can even hear her whispering in my ear, ah, Lord. You didn’t lose; you..." The following words were crossed out, indicating that the person who left the ssage was in a very confused state at that ti.
The font seed to have been changed by soone else, and the writing style had altered slightly.
"The supervisor has gone mad. We executed him and are now continuing the record: The company discovered her in the Antarctic ice layer. At that ti, we were excited. It was hard to imagine that a living creature could be found in such an extre environnt. It was a mysterious species that had been frozen for tens of thousands of years." Li Changhe read this and inford Moon God and Cangyue Ming about the contents.
"It should be a world with a similar storyline, having the sa language and geographical environnt." Cangyue Ming, who was communicating with Father Xia, replied.
"For example, our Eternal Prosperous Tang Dynasty is a variation in the world line." Moon God also responded as he looked at the two opponents.
Li Changhe continued to watch, puzzled. Human beings had only dominated the Earth for 12,000 years, but this thing had survived from tens of thousands of years ago? What had it lost? The Evolution Ga?
With doubts, Li Changhe continued to translate.
"The company sent a large number of personnel to this isolated small island, allowing us to conduct research and experints here. At first, everything went smoothly. We successfully awakened her and listened to her heartbeat gradually beco stronger. We were both excited and fearful. The good news was that she was very friendly and could even understand our intentions and emotions. She fully cooperated with our research. We were quite certain that she was so kind of ultra-intelligent species we had never discovered before, even a survivor of a prehistoric civilization!"
"She was very cooperative with us, and many researchers liked to talk to her. Although she just stayed still, occasionally responding to us with her heartbeat."
"After a long ti, she secreted a certain red liquid that targeted organic matter from her jade-like body. Upon further research, we were overjoyed to find out that the liquid had no effect on living creatures. Instead, it would break down dead bodies and provide nourishnt to living beings. What an astonishingly life-friendly species!"
"It was around that ti that strange things began to happen. A researcher was attacked by a wild beast on the island. We were shocked. There were no large carnivorous animals on this island, as they had been cleaned out by the company before our arrival. Initially, we thought it was just a stray animal that escaped and only strengthened the island’s security forces. But we overlooked the fact that it was such a coincidence that it happened at that ti."
"We continued our research, and even successfully cultivated life from human embryos using the liquid she secreted! Though the infant embryos were sohow influenced and looked very strange, even malford, we were excited." Li Changhe frowned, looking up at the nearby shattered incubation chamber. They were conducting human experints? This so-called company wasn’t any better, and those wild people outside were created by them.
Li Changhe shook his head and continued reading.
"This might have been the beginning of the nightmare. We should not have disturbed her, and we should not have carried out such a plan that defied human ethics! But we were too excited and suppressed those dissenting voices, continuing with the experints."
