Chapter 676 Fear
Probably because the snake jade had moved to a place, most of the beasts were eaten by it as snacks, as a snack before the formal banquet, so they walked down along this smooth road, but they didn't encounter anything worth paying attention to along the way. After all, the monsters in this underground palace are limited.
If it was really an extremely dangerous relic, Metatron couldn't have said that he didn't find out clearly and brought Lin En and others down to die.
They arrived at the sixth floor smoothly.
The sound insulation effect of the wide sixth floor was surprisingly good. The material used for the stone wall seemed to be very thick, and the so-called running water sound was almost unheard. Moreover, the dust removal effect of this place was better. At a glance, the orderly rooms divided by the central axis seemed to be a living area and a work area.
The living area was obvious.
The stone bed, the clothes and quilts that had completely decayed, and the cups and tableware placed on the stone table. Lin En also went to check it out. As an automatically operated dust-free environment, there were still a little bit of completely charred bread crumbs left in the plates on some of the tables.
"Very clean and tidy..."
Bill, who squinted his eyes and made people doubt whether he could see clearly, couldn't help but give this evaluation after visiting two living rooms.
The cleanliness and tidiness here is not an appreciation of the automatically operated dust removal mechanism. It means that the room here did not show violent and crazy destruction just before the hunters lost control. It was like everyone got up normally, ate and drank, and then the next moment everyone turned from normal people into beastmen, lined up to leave the sixth floor, and then went on a killing spree and entered various enclosures to fight.
"Something creepy must have happened here." A team member next to him shrank and couldn't help muttering.
What is fear.
Fear is abnormality. In a normal environment, anything that is a little abnormal will be particularly eye-catching, and the so-called uncanny valley effect is the same. The most clever way to scare people is not to make ghosts jump on your face, nor to make them disgusting and curious, but to let people scare themselves.
The more you think about it, the more you feel that there is something wrong. It is just that you can't explain or figure out this problem, and the fear will accumulate to the highest level. If there is no outlet for venting, it is easy to cause problems.
"Lin En, what are you looking at?"
Noticing that the wise man in the team was squatting in a corner studying something, Mr. Bill, who was touching his neck, walked up and asked. There are no monsters attacking here. All you need to be careful about is not to move bottles and jars that shouldn't be moved.
"I'm looking at some objects. When the hunters lived here, the lighting must have been guaranteed. Those glowing line crystals, they may have a way to adjust the brightness, and I don't know what energy they use to support it for so long."
Lin En clapped his hands. He felt that the people who lived here must have been very depressed and boring.
From some worthless parchments and papyrus, he saw many lines like ghost paintings. Those can't be called words at all. Maybe someone was upset and just drew them with a charcoal pencil. This is exactly what Lin En is professional about. After all, even primitive people can understand murals, right?
"Let's go, the captain seems to have made some gains over there."
Seeing that Lin En didn't find anything big, Bill urged him a little.
On the other side is the hunters' work area.
This area is more complicated. There is a large venue for ceremonies, on which the hunters' symbol, the Hanged Man, is engraved. There should be runes in other places, but hundreds of years have passed, and the paint on them has turned black and peeled off. It is impossible to tell what kind of words were once depicted.
Albion's writing is a symbolic writing system, and the complexity of its evolution is no less than that of hieroglyphics.
In addition to the ritual venue, there is also a place similar to a blacksmith's workshop. There is nothing here, only some unfinished hunter weapons are placed on it. It was already rusted, and there was no ritual to protect the cultural relics. People came in, you touched it and I moved it, and these weapons with a sense of history breathed their last breath, rusted and collapsed directly, giving people an inexplicable sense of sadness.
Perhaps the purpose of their casting was to kill, and one day when the target of killing and hunting became their master, the caster, it was inevitable to feel sad.
Metatron's lecture addiction came back.
On the side, he popularized science to everyone, that hunters were not only good at hunting, but also self-reliant in weapons, runes, gemstones, blood therapy, etc. This was also the general nature of the extraordinary people in that era. The duties of an extraordinary person were unclear, and they might do all kinds of things, which were not as clear as today.
This professor at the University of Livia knew so much about hunters, and he was erudite.
But as his student, Lin En, who had lived with him for a while, had heard that the ancestor of his mentor was a [Lock Hunter]. His ancestor disappeared inexplicably, and his descendants have been trying to find the reason for his disappearance, but to no avail.
Lin En sighed in his heart and continued to look around the hunters' work area.
In addition to the workshop, this work area also has a most important area, the experimental area.
Human experiments.
Lin En and his team saw many petri dishes in this place. Various bottles and jars were filled with formalin-like substances. Most of the things inside had turned into a sticky and disgusting mass. If you have to describe it, it was meat paste. The viscosity made people absolutely not want to look at it again after taking a look. A few glass bottles still had some strange tissues left, some of which were bones, some were organs, and some biological tissues, most of which were animal tissues. However, it was really difficult to distinguish between animals and plants in this place, just like life and death were blurred here.
"If they hadn't disappeared, maybe the medical world today would be different."
Lin En looked at these operating tables, laboratories, and some specially made venues that seemed to simulate biospheres or extreme environments. He couldn't help but sigh that if these lock hunters hadn't suddenly disappeared, the world's medicine might be different now.
Today's mainland medicine...
It can't be said to be bad, as can be seen from Dr. Ziegler's superb medical skills, but it is not fast enough after all.
However, this also made him more excited about the knowledge of [Lock Hunter].
