Chapter 564 Star Text
Chapter 564 "Star Text"
Just looking with the naked eye, the cafeteria area is still normal, except that the light is a little dim. The small hills, the green belts, and the cobblestone roads are all filled with the peaceful scene of the morning after the rain.
"Hey..."
Wei Shan's nostrils flared and he slowly exhaled a breath of foul air from between his teeth.
"Lao Lin, it's... very tragic here." He said slowly with his eyes narrowed.
Lin Yi took a deep breath and said thoughtfully: "Under the layer?"
"Yes."
Lin Yi then reached out and stroked his face.
"Vision Insight", open! !
The moment he opened his eyes, Lin Yi's pupils fluctuated violently.
"this……?!"
The scene in front of me was a mess. Knives with broken pieces were thrown randomly on the muddy ground, some were half-stuck in the soil, and sculptures of chefs were lying in various positions, some were still in their final fighting postures...
On the cobblestone road below them, the blood that had not yet dried up gathered into a sticky ketchup-like substance, which was flowing slowly. After flowing out of the cobblestone road, it seemed to seep into the ground.
These chefs have long since turned into sculptures, and their bibs have lost their color, making it impossible to tell whether they are blue or black.
Their faces were full of ferocious expressions, their eyes were wide open, but their eyeballs had been strangely gouged out.
"How come there are so many dead chefs?!" Lin Yi muttered in confusion. On the road leading to the cafeteria, there were dead bodies everywhere, as if something had chopped all the way from the "Cafe-001" lamppost to the cafeteria entrance.
"I guess we experienced a terrible battle last night." Wei Sang gritted his teeth.
"Don't be too sad." Tian Bufan said calmly, "In the campus... every time the gray fog invades, there are countless battles like this, and the casualties are often incalculable."
Lin Yi frowned and remained silent.
Tian Bufan added: "You should pay attention to the teaching building and the gymnasium."
"At least there's a canteen owner sitting next to the cafeteria."
"I don't know what's going on over there in the teaching building."
"I don't know what's going on at the gym..."
Tian Bufan’s words instantly made Lin Yi’s heart tighten.
But he immediately gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Let's go to the cafeteria first."
He was eager to find an answer.
The scene before him reminded him of Lao Mo.
Perhaps it was in this way that Old Mo fought his way to the end step by step, and then became anchored with the cafeteria.
As soon as "Visual Insight" was cancelled, the tragic scene that was originally seen was suddenly replaced by a peaceful scene. However, Lin Yi's mind was always filled with the image of the chef who died in battle and became a sculpture.
He walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, trying his best to avoid the location of the chef statue in his memory, and walked heavily towards the direction of the cafeteria.
The closer he got to the cafeteria, the stronger the smell of blood became in the air. However, if he didn't think about it, he couldn't smell the blood at all. But as soon as he thought about it, he could smell the smell subconsciously, and he couldn't let it go.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. The rain had stopped a long time ago, but it seemed as if it had never stopped.
The road was very quiet, with only their group of people walking on it.
Because it is just past 7 o'clock and the all-night study session in the teaching building has just ended, the only people who can appear here now are those who are also spending the night in the dormitory building.
For example, the five people who looked very professional - they also followed Lin Yi and others into the cafeteria area.
As soon as she entered the cafeteria, Su Yao's expression changed. She seemed to sense something and staggered suddenly: "Not good..."
The strong breath of death almost hit her face, making Su Yao's body shaky. Fortunately, the captain beside her supported her in time: "Did you sense anything?"
"Death..." Su Yao's face turned pale, "Strong death! Many people died here! Resentment and fighting spirit are entangled and lingering on this land..."
The captain's face changed slightly, and he immediately said in a low voice: "Everyone be careful. Strong negative emotions can stimulate the spread of pollution. Don't be disturbed or affected. If anyone hears a whisper in their ear, they must speak out immediately!"
"How about we all link up with iron chains?" a team member suggested, taking out a piece of medium-sized chain from the side of the tactical backpack.
"Chen Yu's idea is feasible. Zhao Lei, Han Xuan, let's connect them all together!"
"Han Xuan, you are the team doctor, you must always pay attention to the condition of your teammates; Zhao Lei, Chen Yu, you are responsible for vigilance, pay special attention to the condition of Han Xuan and Su Yao." The captain issued precise orders in an orderly manner, and every member strictly followed them.
Compared to the relative team freedom in "God's Realm", this team seems to have stricter discipline and execution.
The iron chain is not a very funny tactic, which often means that everyone prospers together and suffers together, but their team is like this. Rather than being defeated one by one, it is better to suffer together. There are iron chains connecting them, so if someone loses consciousness, teammates will be able to discover it in the first time.
The five of them connected to each other and continued to follow Lin Yi and the others' steps towards the cafeteria.
Su Yao's perception is already excellent, but she does not have the abnormal vision effect like Lin Yi. She can only sense the abnormalities buried in the layers, but cannot observe them with her own eyes.
But the closer they got to the cafeteria, the uglier Su Yao's face became, and her expression became more solemn.
This is a manifestation of "knowing" and "perceiving". Compared with her, the other team members who were unaware of this behaved much more normally.
These five people seemed to be walking in their own layers. Under the same dim sky, they each felt a completely different atmosphere.
……
"They just follow us like this?"
Lin Yi, who was walking in front, had a clear sense of the status of the five people.
It's not that he deliberately tried to spy on Su Yao's condition, but the range of his perception "radar" was so wide that it directly enveloped Su Yao.
Kuai Hongji said coldly: "Follow me if you like me. If something goes wrong, you will have to take the consequences yourself."
Lin Yi pursed his lips. This was what he was worried about. You know, the last group of Lu Zhao and his four friends who showed interest in them, the dust from their sculptures was already floating in the air.
He deeply realized that they were now the walking god of death, and no one who took an interest in them would have a good ending.
"Oh, right..." Lin Yi said, "In my dream, I seemed to have learned the commandments..."
"Well... maybe it can't be considered a commandment, but that kind of text and language, I think it should be a commandment, right?"
"Admonition..." Tian Bufan paused for a moment, "The kind of writing you're talking about should be 'Star Writing', right?"
"'Star text'...?" Lin Yi's eyes narrowed. "It really has a clear name? What does 'Star text' mean? Is it the text of the stars?"
Tian Bufan nodded: "The language of stars, the language of stars, you can understand it however you want. This is the language that the "Star Whisperer" learned together with the "Astrologer" through observing the starry sky pictures and texts..."
"Is this recorded in that so-called code?" Lin Yi asked.
Tian Bufan said: "Yes."
He paused, then said seriously: "This book... is really on the bookshelf, didn't you find it?"
"Damn... I get angry just talking about this. I can find any book except this. Wait, don't change the subject! Let's continue talking about this!" Lin Yi said, and suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said, "Wait, wait, wait! You just said... "Star Whisperer" and "Astrologer" learned this kind of writing?"
“Didn’t they create it?”
"'Creation'?" Tian Bufan shook his head helplessly, "You seem to think too highly of the 'First Apostles', but in reality, they are not omnipotent."
Lin Yi curled his lips and muttered softly: "But from what I understand, they are almost omnipotent..."
Tian Bufan did not dwell on this for too long, but continued: "'Star language' is the law of the universe, which was discovered and recorded in the form of 'written symbols'."
"The so-called cultivation formulas in later mythology, and even the spells of Western magic, are all derived from "Star Text."
"'Star text' is also recorded in Sanxingdui... If you study Sanxingdui frequently, you will find..."
"Hey, hey, hey, hey!" Lin Yi interrupted speechlessly, "Are you kidding me, Mr. Tian? That thing is a cultural relic. It's all in the museum! How could you possibly come into contact with it? And you 'often study it'... Do you often study it?"
Tian Bufan paused and corrected, "There are actually no real Sanxingdui artifacts in the museum... Those things, like "Starry Night", are kept in a fixed place, and the ones that can be spread out are all used for 'fishing'."
"And only the real Sanxingdui artifacts will be engraved with "star characters", because such characters, with just the simplest strokes, have already permeated immeasurable pollution..."
Lin Yi stopped talking.
His intuition told him that Tian Bufan, or their team, had definitely come into contact with Sanxingdui artifacts!
"Oh, by the way... Actually, you should have seen it before. It's on this campus." Tian Bufan was walking and suddenly turned back to glance at him.
"Ah? I've seen it?" Lin Yi was slightly stunned, and pictures quickly flashed through his mind, and he soon found some clues.
"Could it be that... the 'Holy Temple' is a creation of Sanxingdui?" Lin Yi said in a lost voice.
He remembered.
He didn't know what the ancient green lamp "Ming Zhao" and the time compass "Shi Ling" looked like, but he was very familiar with the quantum giant clock "Sanctuary". Now that he thought about it, the inside and outside of the sanctuary were engraved with star characters, and even the inner wall of the first floor of the bell tower was covered with star characters.
Tian Bufan nodded slightly, then shook his head: "On the contrary, the Sanxingdui creations used that kind of craftsmanship... When the "God Craftsman" created the three supreme extraordinary creations: the quantum giant bell "Holy Hall", the ancient green lamp "Mingzhao" and the time compass "Shiling", he engraved the "Star Text" into them, thereby endowing them with supreme power."
"Once created, the three supreme and extraordinary creations were out of the control of the "Master Craftsman."
Lin Yi's expression became serious: "That is to say, it was not the "God Craftsman" who created them, but they "inspired" the "God Craftsman" and gave the "God Craftsman" the mission to bring them into this world."
Tian Bufan nodded and said, "They are supposed to exist in the world, in this space and time, and the existence of the "God Craftsman" is therefore given meaning."
Lin Yi took a deep breath and suddenly felt that the world was a huge Möbius strip time paradox.
"So what you mean is... I have learned the "Star Language" now?" Lin Yi pointed to his nose.
Tian Bufan was speechless: "Didn't you say you learned it yourself?"
Lin Yi couldn't help but ask, "You suddenly brought up the concept of 'Star Language', so I'm really unsure. Is it really possible for me to learn such a mysterious language?"
Tian Bufan thought for a moment and said seriously: "Strictly speaking, you already know how to do it."
"what?"
Tian Bufan continued: "Not only you, but also me, us, and even those who follow behind, and everyone in the world... can do it themselves."
"Star language is the symbol of the stars. It is not the writing of a race or a civilization. We should all know it, but due to the protection of "cognition", we have forgotten it."
"When the 'cognitive lock' is almost unlocked, it will be automatically mastered. It is a pure 'meaning', and the 'astrologers' and 'fortune tellers' have organized and passed them down in a 'concrete' form."
"What do you think Secret Pattern Totemology is about? Isn't it just the study of star writing?"
Lin Yi's heart was shaken. He suddenly realized that those mystical subjects might just be records of the world studying the laws of the same mysterious thing from different perspectives...
As they were talking, the cafeteria appeared in front of them. In the dim morning light, the cafeteria looked like an oversized corn.
The entire cafeteria was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, giving people the feeling that it was a monastery built on the crack leading to hell on earth.
In such an atmosphere, Lin Yi subconsciously closed his mouth.
Several people quickly came to the notice board in front of the cafeteria, and as usual, each took a copy of the "Cafeteria Rules", and then walked towards the student passage.
Looking at the entrance to the student passage, Lin Yi felt an inexplicable surge of sadness in his heart.
Back then, Lao Mo would still stand at the end of the student passage and suppress everything.
But now, I don’t know how long it will take before I can see Lao Mo again.
"Let's go." Tian Bufan seemed to sense Lin Yi's sadness and patted his shoulder. "You will soon find out that no sadness can catch up with time."
