Sinmonger Chapter 5: Preliminary exploration of the ruins

Chapter 5 Preliminary Exploration of Ruins

It was the morning of the second day after arriving in Rome.

The consultant wakes up from sleep. Unlike Tianyi's laziness and indulgence, as long as the conditions allow, the consultant treats his body as pious as a temple.

He can afford it when the sun rises, and he will not stay up if he can stay up late; sleep time is controlled at about seven hours to ensure high-quality and effective sleep; he also has a regular diet, and he will do various checks on himself regularly .

This is a very ironic phenomenon. A person with abnormal spirit and personality tries his best to ensure the normal functioning of his body.

After tidying up, he walked out of the room. Sure enough, two knights of steel discipline were standing guard there in high spirits. When the advisor came out, they didn't say anything, just watched with cold eyes.

The consultant shrugged and brought the two stalkers to the door of the gunsmith's room, where there were naturally two others standing guard.

Knocked on the gunsmith's door, but still no response after half a minute. The consultant sighed, his hands were all five fingers together, pressed against the door panel, and knocked rhythmically. He seemed to be humming a song softly, but he couldn't hear anything just by listening to him beating on the door panel. .

Anyway, after knocking like this for two or three minutes, the sleepy-eyed gunsmith in shorts opened the door: "Why?"

"What are you doing? Get up and do something." The consultant replied.

"What time is it?" the gunsmith complained, "The chickens haven't gotten up yet."

"Are there chickens in your room?" the consultant asked.

"I have it in my bowels," replied the gunsmith.

"Then go get the chicken in your intestines to the toilet now, say good morning to it, and get ready to go." The consultant turned his head and walked towards the dark water room.

Five seconds after the knock on the door, the door opened. "John DeSoto" was wearing a different set of clean clothes from yesterday, with a tireless expression, "Are you going?"

The consultant knew that this guy didn't need sleep, and didn't find it strange, but said, "You go to the gunsmith's room to supervise, I suspect he will fall into bed and go to sleep."

Anshui replied: "Okay." After saying that, he left.

It didn't take long for the advisor to hear the gunsmith's whining again.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the door of the hotel. The consultant had already finished his breakfast. He didn't plan to leave the gunsmith any time to eat, so he directly led the two to the special car prepared for them by the Steel Commandment.

A flag officer named Suyside was waiting for the three of them in the car, and he was also in charge of the scene at the airport yesterday. This time, he will basically be responsible for the preventive work against the members of the reverse cross. Because about half a year ago, Suyside had a head-to-head experience with members of the Reverse Cross in Venice. Although it was a relatively unsuccessful operation, the responsibility was not on him. Later, the inspector general of the Holy City, Camo Bottrini, took the blame alone. Suyside's response at that time was very appropriate, and was affirmed by the chief priest, but was reused in the organization.

The drive was not long, and the advisors did not take the initiative to talk to the people of the Steel Commandments. After a while, they arrived at one of the landmarks of Rome, the Colosseum of Colosseum.

This place and the surrounding area have long been sealed off by the steel commandments, and as soon as you get out of the car, you can notice that the streets near the Colosseum are covered with a thin layer of dust. Of course there are no sandstorms in Rome, so the dust indicates that there is some kind of dust. Major works requiring ground breaking are underway around here.

Walking into the Colosseum, the first thing you notice is that the circular gladiatorial stage in the middle is gone, replaced by a huge pit. Around the pit, scaffolding and simple lifts have been built for a long time. There is still a certain space on the edge of the arena. There are still large tracks and tire marks on the ground. It can be seen that vehicles such as cranes and bulldozers used to be here. worked.

Outside the arena, up to the front row of the auditorium, the buildings in this space were also emptied, the column decoration with ancient Athenian architectural style was demolished, and the wall on the west side of the Colosseum was opened with a " Big mouth", as a passageway for the entry and exit of engineering facilities.

"It's dismantled like this..." The consultant took out a handkerchief from his pocket, covered his mouth and nose, walked slowly to the edge of the pit, and glanced down: "There should have been many spaces and tunnels directly below the arena. Storing livestock, gladiators, props, and even naroo (a stage lift) and water canals. You are..."

Before the consultant finished asking, Suyside said, "Just dig it out and dump it out. It's no different from dirt."

"Hehe...Should I observe a moment of silence for this masterpiece and marvel of ancient architecture?" the consultant laughed.

"It's just an abandoned building site, recording the history of blood and tears of the oppressed under the slave system. Every stone seems to be engraved with the brutal and crazy faces of a group of ignorant and foolish people, and every piece of soil is infiltrated. The blood of slaves and beasts." Lodovico's voice sounded, Dasher followed behind him, and Vanessa came, as always, with a lollipop in her mouth.

“There are many such non-functional buildings in the world, which are worthless except for their commemorative and symbolic meanings. Even if they are not for digging treasures, I don’t think they have much preservation value.” Lodovico continued.

The consultant laughed: "Being in an organization based on 'faith', I admire the pragmatic values ​​​​of the Holy Land Inspector General. If in the future, your grand leader tries to build a giant for himself. A statue or something, I hope you can go up and slap him in the mouth and spit in his face."

Lodovico snorted coldly: "Okay, what do the three experts think about the current situation?"

"It seems that those large construction vehicles are no longer used, and the excavated soil does not know where to go. That is to say, your excavation has been stopped for some time." The gunsmith squatted by the pit, he His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness and see what was underneath: "The depth is about 100 meters, the bottom of the pit... Or, the top of the ruins is a pyramid structure. If nothing else, is it really that..." He stood up and looked back at the dark water.

Darkwater's tone and behavior at this time basically refer to the late explorer John, who was swallowed by him. Since the people of the Steel Commandment do not know John himself, Darkwater does not have to disguise very well, even if he behaves peacefully Just like himself, as long as he maintains the appearance of an ordinary human, the other party will at most feel that this person is a little indifferent.

"The spire of the pyramid is only the uppermost part of the ruins. The space below is usually very large and not necessarily physically connected. There may be several or dozens of these spires of different shades in the city of Rome, and some It is only the size of a football field, and some of the bottom is unimaginably large, and the area at the bottom may be wider than the entire Vatican." Dark Water said.

"What kind of ruin is this? Have you ever encountered one? Mr. John." Lodovico asked.

"Based on the existing documents and historical research results on Earth, this kind of relic should be attributed to the Olmec civilization in Central America. I can say that I have done a little research on this aspect." Anshui replied, In fact, he is just flickering and flicking the gang of laymen. He chose to use the memory in John's mind to explain this part of the knowledge.

This was originally his own civilization, but it was misinterpreted by humans many years later. If Darkwater was to use the actual situation he had to explain, it would take a month. The technology, culture, economy, social system, etc. of their race are completely different from the concept of human society, and it is impossible to explain in a few words. In the South American jungle, when he pretended to be John and talked to the gunsmith, he just used Olmec's words to prevaricate.

"Oh! Is it the prehistoric civilization of the Mexicans?" Dasher asked with bright eyes. The guy with the curly beard had already attracted the attention of the three of them. His shape was so Mexican. The skin color is also very authentic, but this guy has a strange accent, he doesn't seem to speak Spanish at all, but deliberately adds a very nondescript Spanish accent to his English...

"You give me some peace..." Lodovico interrupted Dasher, looking a little embarrassed, and cleared his throat and said, "The problem is, the ancient civilizations in Central America also have pyramids? Isn't that the case? Egyptian patent? And..." He clearly showed a skeptical look: "Why is the treasure of the 14th century Templars related to the ancient civilization on the other side of the earth, and buried in this ruins. "

The consultant continued: "About the pyramids, even if you have searched all over the world for archaeologists, no one can answer you, maybe you can go to the alien research club of a certain university to get a very insightful answer. As for why the treasure is in this ruin, I wanted to tell you yesterday, but you seem to think that it is nonsense, just dig it out, it doesn't matter how it is buried, so I am too lazy to explain it to you now."

At this time, the gunsmith has come to the nearest elevator: "I want to go down and have a look."

The consultant followed, and gestured for the dark water to come too: "We want to go down to investigate, you can send someone to watch and come quickly."

Vanessa then took the lollipop stick out of her mouth, and she had already chewed and swallowed the candy. She had not spoken since just now, in fact, she did not want to take the candy out of her mouth. , Because the air here is not very good, it will definitely get a lot of dust when it is taken out.

"Sueside, let's go down with them." Vanessa didn't speak in a commanding tone, but she did seem to be giving orders, and Suyside really did.

Lodovico said: "Big..." Just as the lord was about to say the word, Vanessa glared at him, he swallowed the words abruptly, and could only say: "It's only you and Suyside. Two, in case..."

"Don't worry, these three guys won't start with us yet. Besides, you can't always find a dozen people to hold weapons against them." Vanessa took out a hair band from her pocket, and took it easy. He pulled up his red hair and tied it into a ponytail, and went up the elevator with Suyside, the advisor, the gunsmith, and Darkwater.

The place where the elevator can stand is about the same size as a normal elevator. Vanessa came up last, and the consultant squeezed the others behind her, separating Vanessa and the others.

Vanessa smiled and said, "Why? Afraid that I will be eaten tofu?"

The consultant sneered: "Heh...if your ability is something like 'two-hit kill', I hope you will be merciful."

"Ah? You actually knew that you were hit?" Vanessa said without shyness: "I think you are at most a level capable person, how did you find out?"

"If I shared my process and method of knowing everything with others, I would have at least eight hands and four mouths to keep myself busy," replied the consultant.

Actually, his answer was like no answer. It seemed like he was showing off himself. In essence, it meant: I am too lazy to explain to you, and I don't want to explain it to you.

The five people descended slowly on the lift. The surrounding soil has been reinforced with chemical agents, so this vertical cylindrical structure will not collapse. The morning sun does not shine on the 100-meter-deep pit. The bottom of the pit, but the people above turned on the strong light searchlights, which illuminated the bottom of the pit very brightly.

When it came down to the bottom, Vanessa stopped talking to the consultant. She went out first and didn't let others have the opportunity to have physical contact with her, so the consultant followed with confidence, and the others followed closely. Get out of the elevator.

There is still a lot of soil at the bottom of the pit. It does not look like a steeple and slopes on all sides. It should be deliberately left during the excavation so that people can stand and walk after getting down.

There is a raised pyramid tip in the middle of the pit, which is a black metal material with very fine textures on it, which can be identified with the naked eye, and you can feel that these textures are slightly concave inwards. . These are not arcs or irregular patterns, but geometric textures composed of straight lines and included angles, laid on the metal surface like circuits. This seems to be different from the "ancient civilization" that people generally recognize, because the ancients seem to have learned literature, and the things they depict are often abstract, and most of them are "paintings" left on the relics; but the circuit diagram in front of them seems to be The texture ~IndoMTL.com~ seems to be from the hands of a group of ancients who study science. From the perspective of modern people, it can only be confused.

Dark Shui squatted there, looking at the lines, stroking the metal surface, as if thinking about something. The gunsmith was very straightforward, and without hesitation, he took out the improved "bone gun" from his body, which seemed to be the old way to use the jungle...

Suisid immediately became nervous when he saw him take out his weapon, but he also saw that the other party should not want to fight, so he tentatively said: "If you are going to use that to attack this spire, I advise you to think twice. , we tried, and it didn't work out well."

The gunsmith said: "Ah, I can probably guess what it is, but mine is different."

"Wait first." Anshui suddenly said: "He's right, it's better not to be hard."

Hearing what Anshui said, the gunsmith put down the gun and said in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"This is different from the ruins we encountered last time, using a different construction mechanism." Dark Water pondered.
