6282 Types of Information
Chapter 629, Section 628: Two Types of Information
The excavation work on the transferred rock and mud mountain is progressing smoothly. The soil and gravel covering it are being peeled away in an orderly manner, gradually revealing what is buried underneath.
Besides the massive beast skeletons commonly found in the giant beast bone field, the items cleared out contained a large number of clearly man-made traces. The most common of these was a curved metal base, usually cast from some kind of corrosion-resistant dark alloy, with regular nail holes along its edges.
The base is often covered with large, thick, but broken pieces of transparent material, similar to glass, but with a more translucent and hard texture.
On the surface of these bases and "glass" fragments, some finely etched runes can still be discerned; these are reinforcement magic runes that have long since lost their function.
what is this?
A reinforced large glass jar?
The style feels somewhat familiar.
After thinking it over carefully, Lin Jun finally figured out the source of this sense of familiarity.
The perspective shifts, bringing us back to the place where we first encountered the Heart of Qis.
It was a secret chamber with a broken door. The Heart of the Chess was originally strung here by two collapsed pillars, and there were some broken metal instruments around it.
Now that we compare them, their styles are indeed quite similar.
There should be some connection between the two, but what exactly it is is still unknown.
As the excavation continued, more glass jar fragments were unearthed, varying in size, with the largest measuring over a hundred meters in diameter.
The best-preserved one is a jar with a bottom diameter of less than 30 centimeters.
The outer shell of the jar was almost intact, except for a small crack in the glass. Inside the jar, however, was the skeleton of a small, strange beast!
It should be noted that due to the spatial collapse caused by the collapse of the underground city, almost all the remaining remains were large alien beast skeletons, and the small alien beast skeletons that are preserved so completely are extremely rare.
But Lin Jun's surprise didn't come from that; rather, it was the combination of the glass jar and the strange beast inside that reminded him of something else.
Experimental subject?
But thinking about it, it doesn't seem wrong.
Doesn't the Thirteenth Dungeon, which I control, also preserve detailed records of the God of Light's experiments with the "Sunstone" in its attached space?
However, the testing site may not be inside the space, or the main equipment may have been moved.
This auxiliary space of the Beast Bone Field was probably also used by some big shot for experiments.
If that's the case, then those strange beasts must all be experimental subjects, right?
However, even though glass jars are engraved with magical runes, they always give off a kind of high-tech illusion, making them feel very high-end!
Lin Jun also discovered that the bases of these jars were engraved with the markings of each experimental subject.
Most of them are simple numerical codes, such as "012", "047", and "109".
However, on one of the most severely damaged fragments of the base, the markings were not numbers. They were a line of incomplete demonic script, most of the characters of which were illegible, with only the character for "sin" barely discernible.
A criminal? Or... the seven sins?
Unfortunately, the jar was severely damaged, the writing was illegible, and what it used to contain was unknown.
The unearthed artifacts were carefully preserved for future research.
The excavation continued toward the core of the mudstone mountain. Finally, after removing the last slab of rock mixed with bone fragments, the sight below brought all the dwarf miners to a halt.
A black "wall" appeared in front of them.
A dwarf foreman tentatively touched the black surface lightly with the tip of his pickaxe.
There was no sound, no recoil; he was pushed away by an irresistible repulsive force. He gritted his teeth and swung the pickaxe down with all his might, but the result was the same—not even a speck of dust was scraped off. Some even tried spells like fireballs or ice spikes, but they vanished silently, like drops of water falling into the desert.
This was the first time Lin Jun had ever seen it; was this what the outside of the auxiliary space looked like?
With a try-it-out mentality, he stepped onto the outer shell of the space with a plop and used his mental power to move it along the familiar path.
The next second, to the astonishment of all the excavators around, the round, plump thing vanished from the spot as if erased from a drawing paper by an eraser!
A commotion arose in the crowd, and everyone instinctively took a few steps back, their faces a mixture of fear and bewilderment, as if they were afraid that they too would be silently swallowed up by that eerie black wall.
But in reality, their worries were unnecessary.
Although the former dungeon to which this auxiliary space is attached has long since collapsed, and the space itself has thus been partially embedded in the main world, it is not something that can be entered and exited at will simply by approaching and touching it.
Although its "lock" is no longer working, to get inside, one would at least need to be able to find its "doorknob".
Lin Jun frequents the auxiliary space of her own underground city every day, and is already very familiar with the methods of entering and exiting, which is why she can enter whenever she wants.
As soon as she entered, Lin Jun saw even more jars!
However, unlike the dilapidated ruins outside, most of the jars here are relatively well-preserved, and a few even contain complete mythical beasts.
However, Lin Jun couldn't see their panels, which meant that although their bodies were intact, they were actually dead, right?
Lin Jun didn't rush to study these experimental subjects. Instead, she controlled Puji to sense the other side, where there were familiar information blocks!
No information blocks were found during the previous excavation, probably because such information blocks can only exist in the auxiliary space of this environment, which is similar to the abyss.
The merging of some ancillary spaces means that some information blocks will inevitably disappear.
But for now, let's see what we can find in the information that still exists here.
Puji stretched out its tentacles and clicked into the most recent information block.
Then Lin Jun saw a familiar recording format:
[Experiment Props Name: Bloodbath]
[Experiment Record 223]
[Experimental Subject: 061]
[In the third month, under the further mutation of the Blood Calamity, the proliferation of flesh on 061 became more severe. It was thought that it would follow in the footsteps of the other experimental subjects and collapse, but before that, its blood underwent a new change.]
[The blood curse's guiding mutation took further effect; after its blood separated from 061's body, it actually fused with itself, forming a new, independent entity.]
[Observations have shown that these individuals can reproduce on their own after feeding, and can be considered a new species that has separated from 061.]
[Although there was an unexpected gain, it's a pity that these fragmented individuals still didn't possess a soul.]
[Simply physical mutations may not be able to create new souls, but this pattern of division and proliferation has given me a lot of inspiration. Could the soul also multiply through self-division?]
In any case, the sub-individual of 061 survived.
[Name 061 as Sargus, and its offspring as Sargus Blood]
……
……
……
A divine artifact causing bloodshed? Physical mutation?
This appears to be an experimental project by the God of Light before the Sunstone.
Unfortunately, Lin Jun's Blood Calamity is still being held by that vampire emperor for the time being, otherwise we could try out this interesting mutation gameplay right now.
Looking at the other information blocks nearby, Lin Jun randomly picked one and stretched out her tentacles again.
Based on experience, these information blocks are probably experimental records about the Blood Calamity. Lin Jun plans to look at a few more before going back to study the contents of those jars.
However, this time the message was delivered in a completely different style...
[This is such a superficial use of the concept of bloodshed.]
[He can't even fully control what he created]
[So-called gods are nothing more than this.]
Who is this? Speaking even more arrogantly than I am?!
