Origin Chapter 119: The road of no return
For more than ten seconds, no one spoke. Everyone's eyes were focused on the copper pillar. To be precise, it was concentrated in the copper box inside the copper pillar. A large number of bullet casings, mottled blood stains, all these It all showed that Zhao Ying and others were attacked by unknown enemies on the back of the copper pillar.
The number of shell casings left in the copper box is staggering, there are hundreds of them, most of which are rifle shells, and the rest are pistol shells. More at the top.
After a while, Xiao Qin walked towards the copper box.
Wang Xinran raised her hand to try to stop her, Xiao Qin made a no-worry gesture to her, and then carefully walked to the bottom steps, where she checked the copper box.
The result of the inspection soon came out, "It was continuous shooting for a short period of time, and the remaining blood was not human blood."
Wang Xinran frowned in doubt, "What animal?"
Xiao Qin used a strong light to look for it. After a few seconds, she pinched something from the edge of the copper box. It was hard to see what it was, it should be something like hair.
Xiao Qin first observed it with the naked eye, then asked Wang Xinran for a lighter, set it on fire, and sniffed deeply, "It's not a mammal, it's an egg-laying animal."
"What is it?" Wang Xinran asked.
Xiao Qin shook his head, "No matter what it is, the number will definitely not be many, and the individual is very large, and it is likely to fly."
Wang Xinran pointed to the bullet casings in the copper box, "If the number is not..."
Before Wang Xinran could finish her sentence, Xiao Qin waved her hand to interrupt her, "It's definitely not a lot. You see these bloodstains were sprayed from close range shots. After being injured, so much blood can be sprayed out. The animal is definitely not very small, and the reason why so many shells are left is also because the animal is very large and difficult to kill.”
Everyone was a little lighthearted when they heard this. Except for Wu Zhongyuan, they all had actual combat experience. They were not afraid of their opponents when they were really big.
Huang Hailin asked, "Why do they say they can fly?"
Xiao Qin pointed to several bloodstains on the edge of the copper box, "The bloodstains were all splattered from above."
"Did they have any personal casualties?" Wang Xinran asked again.
Xiao Qin didn't answer the call immediately, took out a telescopic throwing stick from his pocket, and after throwing it out, he leaned over the steps and moved the shells in the copper box to check, "They have carried out an effective defense, and there should be no human body. Casualties." Having said this, Xiao Qin added, "At least not before leaving the copper pillar."
"Why does your bird keep silent?" Wu Zhongyuan asked, "Can it see something?"
After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Xiao Qin tilted his head to look at the starling on his shoulder, "Little nigger, you can talk now."
As soon as Xiao Qin finished speaking, the little **** began to shout, "Go out, go out..."
The little **** screamed unpleasantly, Wang Xinran frowned in disgust, "What are you screaming, you better shut it up."
"Stupid." The little **** took time to scold Wang Xinran, and then yelled to go out.
"Shut up." Xiao Qin stopped.
The little **** still obeyed the order, Xiao Qin told him to shut up, it really stopped shouting, but it didn't mean it was convinced, it just didn't dare to say anything, and put his **** to Xiao Qin's head, Express your dissatisfaction here.
"Did it have a premonition?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
Xiao Qin shook his head, "It's very smart, and it looks good, other than that, it's no different from an ordinary starling."
"Then why is it yelling to go out?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"It just doesn't like this relatively confined space, which makes it feel depressing." Xiao Qin said.
Wu Zhongyuan nodded and didn't ask again. Xiao Qin and others were originally called to arrest people, and they had no intention of entering the underground altar before.
After the discussion, she fell into silence. Next, Wang Xinran needed to make a decision. She needed to decide whether to move forward or retreat.
Wang Xinran did not act arbitrarily, but looked at Xiao Qin, whose expression was very calm. Then he looked at Yang Yi, who still didn't wake up, leaning against the stone wall on the right.
The last thing Wang Xinran looked at was Huang Hailin. Huang Hailin knew that Wang Xinran was asking for his opinion, and he also knew why Wang Xinran was asking for everyone's opinion. That was because two colleagues died in the underwater mausoleum of Poyang Lake half a year ago. It was also Wang Xinran who led the team that time.
"We must go in, otherwise why should we come down," Huang Hailin said first, and then added, "But there is one thing we need to pay attention to, there is no mechanism that can make the copper pillar rotate inside the copper pillar, and there is another On the one hand, the mechanism that makes the copper pillar rotate may also be very secretive, and it will take a certain amount of time to find it.”
Wang Xinran nodded slowly when he heard the words. Huang Hailin's implication was that once the copper pillar was turned, it would be impossible to turn it back in a short time. No matter what danger they encountered, everyone had to face it.
Many people want to be leaders. In fact, leadership is not so easy to be. Although party leaders can enjoy privileges, they also need to bear the consequences for their decisions. Wang Xinran is facing such a situation at this time.
But she didn't hesitate too much, and after a brief hesitation, she stepped into the copper box.
Wu Zhongyuan followed first, followed by Xiao Qin and Yang Yi third.
As soon as Yang Yi entered, the copper column suddenly began to turn counterclockwise, and there was no sign before.
Fortunately, the speed of the copper column was very slow, and Huang Hailin also stepped in.
"Why did the agency suddenly activate?" Wu Zhongyuan looked at Huang Hailin suspiciously.
Huang Hailin shook his head and said, "It wasn't a sudden activation, but the person who came in reached the weight required to trigger the mechanism."
Wang Xinran moved Wu Zhongyuan to the inside of the copper box, then pulled out the pistol and walked to the outside of the copper box. Huang Hailin and Xiao Qin also drew guns in their hands and were on guard. Yang Yi also had a pistol attached to his waist, but instead of drawing the gun, he rubbed his eyes and yawned.
Seeing that Yang Yi is so relaxed, Wu Zhongyuan is very puzzled. Relaxation is a state, and this state requires strong strength as a foundation. Wang Xinran only said that Yang Yi would have supernatural powers, but he did not say what kind of supernormal powers he would have.
As the copper box slowly turned, the gap gradually closed. He didn't know what Wang Xinran and the others were thinking, but his biggest worry at this time was that the copper box suddenly stopped rotating, trapping everyone inside.
Fortunately, the thing he was worried about did not happen. Although the copper box turned very slowly, it did not stop halfway, and gradually turned to the other side.
As soon as a vertical slit appeared, everyone felt a sense of coldness, and together with the coldness, there was a strong **** smell.
I feel cold because there is wind. Wind is a very common thing, but it doesn't make sense to appear here. There is indeed wind, and it's a cold, overcast wind.
"The lights will expose our position and easily attract enemies. Would you like to turn off a few lights?" Xiao Qin asked in a low voice.
"No," said Wang Xinran, "if they have been living in a dark environment, their eyes will degenerate."
"If I knew there were unknown creatures, I should have called No. 17." Huang Hailin said.
At this time, the edge of the copper box was more than ten centimeters away from the wall. Wang Xinran used a strong flashlight to shine outward, but couldn't see anything.
The reason you can't see anything is because there is nothing outside, really nothing, no walls, no steps, nothing.
As the gap increased, Xiao Qin also began to irradiate outward. The result of the irradiation was the same as that of Wang Xinran. There was nothing outside, not even a road, and there was an abyss under his feet.
As the copper box turned, the light finally hit something, a bridge, a stone bridge without a bridge rail.
Wait until the copper box stops turning, and its angle is facing this ancient stone bridge. The stone bridge is about five meters wide and leads straight to the front. There is no end in sight, and the length is unknown. The stone bridge is supported by the canyon. A few peaks out of the rock.
There are also many bullet casings left on the edge of the stone bridge, as well as large bloodstains.
A relatively closed space can make people feel depressing, but an overly empty space can also make people panic. At this time, everyone is located on the edge of a cliff. Except for this stone bridge, there is no place for people to step on. .
Knowing that the lights might attract enemies, everyone couldn't help but shone around, but except for the stone bridge in front of them and the occasional peak in front of them, they couldn't see anything, and they couldn't see the bottom of the canyon. The dome above is also not visible.
Wu Zhongyuan has night vision ability, but the strong light flashlight used by everyone has a great impact on him. It is difficult for people's eyesight to adapt to the sudden change of light and darkness.
After a brief observation, Wang Xinran was the first to step out of the copper box and onto the stone bridge. Because the shells scattered on the stone bridge might make his feet slip, or he wanted to determine the depth of the canyon, Wang Xinran used his feet to Some of the shell casings were pulled from the bridge.
After waiting for a long time, there is no echo, and the canyon is bottomless.
Huang Hailin walked out of the copper box second, stood on the bridge and turned to face the copper box. His task was to find the trigger that made the copper box turn.
Xiao Qin also wanted to go out, but Yang Yi reached out to stop her, "You stay to protect him."
After finishing speaking, Yang Yi walked out, walked to the other side of Huang Hailin, and protected him with Wang Xinran. Huang Hailin was concentrating on searching for an agency and had no time to distract himself. The two needed to ensure his safety. .
It wasn't until then that Yang Yi pulled out his pistol, but he was not like Wang Xinran as he was facing a big enemy, but he used his feet to pull the bullet casings that might affect everyone's passage from the bridge at will.
Although Wu Zhongyuan did not suffer from acrophobia, he was still a little scared to see the two standing on the stone bridge without the protection of the bridge, and secretly pinched a sweat for the two of them.
Huang Hailin first inspected the mountains around the copper box. After confirming that there were no organs on the mountain, he checked the stone bridge under his feet. The bridge deck and both sides of the bridge were carefully inspected, but still no organs were found.
In the end, Huang Hailin came to a conclusion. This hollow copper pillar can only be opened from the outside, and there is no mechanism to activate it. This is a road of no return that can only be advanced and cannot be retreated.
For such a result, everyone is not very worried, because they have the 18th Bureau behind them. If they don't go out for a long time, the headquarters will definitely organize a rescue.
"Let's go," Wang Xinran waved at Wu Zhongyuan, "You walk in the middle."
Wu Zhongyuan stood still.
"Let's go." Wang Xinran urged.
Wu Zhongyuan still didn't move, staring intently into the distance.
"What's wrong?" Wang Xinran wanted to turn around.
"Don't look back," Wu Zhongyuan waved at her, "there is something behind you, walk back slowly..."
