Chapter 8
Chapter 8
In the mountains in the early morning, a layer of mist lingers on the top of the mountain.
The sunlight penetrated in forcefully, and the stream beside the path was gurgling and shining with crystal light.
Jing Chuan followed behind Si Lin, and his pace was obviously slower today.
Going forward, Jing Chuan became uneasy.
He fed back through dark matter and did not feel any trace of radioactive material in the mountain.
But, there's no need for Silin to lie to him?
Every half hour, Si Lin would stop and find an open space for Jing Chuan to rest.
Jing Chuan sat cross-legged on the ground, and wanted to ask Si Lin several times how the seal was broken and whether the leak of radioactive material was serious.
But when he opened his mouth, it was as if he didn't believe Si Lin.
Until they came to a depression.
There is a blue pool in the middle, surrounded by mangroves and olive trees.
Jing Chuan glanced at the surrounding environment and prepared to go into the pool.
Silin sighed in admiration, thinking that he was indeed the only mystic who graduated in the past five years, and he already knew how to do it before he said anything.
However, Si Lin still called Jing Chuan to stop.
Silin felt a little guilty, and said seriously, "Listen to me to explain to you first."
Jing Chuan paused in his heart, nodded, "Okay, tell me."
He originally thought that even if Silin didn't say anything, he could still investigate the ins and outs.
Silin said, "I'm sorry, I lied to you."
Jing Chuan just smiled, "No matter what it is, I will forgive you first."
Silin was taken aback, feeling that he couldn't hide anything from Jing Chuan.
He said: "It is true that what is sealed inside is not radioactive material. What is hidden under the pool is the same thing as what is on your secret island."
Jing Chuan replied calmly: "Advanced science and technology of human beings in ancient centuries."
For example, how to modify human genes and differentiate human beings into ABO technology.
For example, how to train human beings affected by dark matter to cultivate the skills of a mystic.
Silin said, "Except for this, I didn't lie to you. Under this pool, it is indeed our old house. Under the old house, it is the scientific laboratory of ancient human beings."
Jing Chuan raised his eyebrows, he raised a hand and stretched towards the center of the pool.
Through the dark matter, he can feel that there is actually a large space under the pool that can be seen at a glance.
And in this huge space, the upper floor is a house, with water lanes and small bridges, white walls and black tiles, all arranged in a well-arranged pattern.
Buried deeper, it is a huge square space.
In the space, you can vaguely feel all kinds of precision instruments, various computer equipment, and utensils that Jing Chuan has never seen before.
"I can feel it." Jing Chuan said, "It's something from ancient humans."
1000 years ago, it was the human world in the ancient century.
At that time, science and technology were advanced, culture was prosperous, and economy was prosperous.
Among them, the technology to modify human genes and evolve human abilities is the most mature.
Because of this, countries use evolved human beings, train them into soldiers, and plunder the limited resources on the earth.
As a result, a war broke out that lasted nearly a hundred years.
Advanced technology benefits mankind, but at the same time it also destroys mankind.
It was not until the population plummeted that the war subsided.
And these advanced technologies that triggered the war, after the emergence of human beings into ABOs and mystics, scientists announced that they had all been destroyed.
Jing Chuan said clearly: "But they hid the technology, the secret island left the training method, and the gene modification technology was handed over to you."
Silin took a deep breath and said calmly: "Scientists believe that in this world, there will be no one who understands more deeply the pain of being genetically modified like the ancestors who voluntarily became experimental subjects. So our family People will guard this technology firmly. They will not let the technology fall into the hands of others, be used maliciously, modify human genes at will, and then do things against nature."
Jing Chuan: "That's right...Moreover, advanced technology is the scientific and technological achievement of human beings in ancient centuries, and scientists must be the last thing to see them disappear."
Silin said: "Our ancestors said that the scientists at that time believed that human technology in the new century would also develop to the same level as it was then. But we must use technology with good intentions and not repeat the mistakes of human beings in the ancient century."
Jing Chuan nodded, "But you have not been able to disclose this matter so far, because you are afraid that someone will use technology to do evil."
Silin said embarrassedly: "Well, I can't explain it in front of people. I can only tell you after I bring you here."
Jing Chuan: "It's better to say..."
Jing Chuan felt a little sad when he heard that.
They have guarded this powerful force for so many years, but they have never thought about changing their long tail genes by this.
Guarding the Si family here is not only guarding the technology of the ancient century, guarding the old house of the Si family, but also guarding the entire human society.
The Si Lin in front of him not only has the unique tail of the Si family, but also has the characteristics that the Si family has had since 1000 years ago.
Brave, decisive, trustworthy, strong, honest...
Jing Chuan suddenly hugged Si Lin, wanting to hang himself on his body.
His sudden action made Silin stunned for a moment.
Fortunately, he is strong and straight like a pine, and his figure remains motionless.
Si Lin hugged Jing Chuan in a panic, "What's wrong?"
Jing Chuan lifted his head from Si Lin's neck, put it close to his ear, and said, "I think you, the Si family, are amazing."
Silin was a little moved: "Thank you."
Jing Chuan raised his head and looked at Si Lin, "The mystics you brought before have never hugged you like this, have they?"
Silin hurriedly said, "No, no."
Jing Chuan laughed, "Haha, I know for sure not."
He let go of his arms, adjusted his mood, and faced the water pool again.
Jing Chuan stepped into the pool, but his shoes and socks were not wet.
Without Silin opening his mouth, he knew where he was going, and he had already reached the border.
Jing Chuan squatted down and put his right hand into the water.
Ordinary people can't see or touch it, but Jing Chuan can feel something different.
Dark matter told him that there is a huge "net" going down from the pool and thousands of meters deep into the ground.
This net wraps up the old house of the Si family as a whole, which is what Si Lin and others call the "seal".
In Jing Chuan's eyes, the seal is lavender, and even every place that has been repaired later shows the year of repair.
But every mystic feels differently.
In front of other mystics, the seal may not be seen, but the sound can be heard or the scent can be smelled.
With the back of Jing Chuan's hands facing up, he twirled his hands.
The calm water suddenly swung away from his palm, causing ripples.
Jing Chuan noticed that the seal was not an overall attenuation, but an excessive consumption of a certain point.
He accurately found the point of consumption, and quickly repaired it with dark matter.
If it's another mystic, we'll call it a day here.
However, Jing Chuan still did not withdraw his hand.
He found that the seal was too ancient, and the sealing technique was relatively complicated.
What can be done in the later stage is to mend the situation after a sheep is lost.
However, unsealing and sealing are two kinds of techniques, and since both the research institute and the old house are sinking at the bottom of the pool, it is unknown what the consequences will be after unsealing.
After Jing Chuan investigated the entire seal under the pool, he withdrew his hand and stood up.
Only then did he raise his head and saw Si Lin standing beside him, his shoes, socks and pants were all wet.
"Okay?" Silin asked him nervously.
Jing Chuan patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, it's been repaired!"
But Silin held his arm and looked him up and down, "Are you tired? Are your legs sore? Can you walk? Do you want me..."
Jing Chuan smiled and interrupted him, "I'm fine! Just wait for me on the shore, why are you still running down!"
Si Lin saw that he was probably trying to be brave, so he simply picked him up and strode towards the shore.
Jing Chuan leaned against Si Lin's chest and didn't dare to move.
When he returned to the shore, Jing Chuan whispered, "It's not like you haven't seen a mystic..."
"I've seen them." Silin said confidently, "But I haven't hugged them."
Jing Chuan laughed out loud, and tugged at Silin's sleeve, "I don't doubt you, and you don't have to worry about me so much."
Si Lin squatted on the bank, wrapped Jing Chuan in his arms, pinched his calf, and asked, "But you squatted there for more than three hours! The previous mystics completed it in less than two hours." ,you……"
Jing Chuan thought about the same thing. If he hadn't checked the seal later, it might have been over within two hours.
Jing Chuan laughed and hugged Si Lin's neck, "But I have nothing to do!"
Of course, Si Lin didn't doubt Jing Chuan's ability, and that's why he was so worried.
Jing Chuan immediately smiled, his brows and eyes crooked, he took Silin's hand, held it in his arms, and said happily, "I'm so happy to see you worry about me so much."
He also explained: "I was checking the seal just now."
Silin frowned slightly, "It took so long! Is there something wrong with the seal?"
"The seal is fine." Jing Chuan said in a hurry to reassure him, "And I've already repaired it."
Jing Chuan said that he checked the seal from beginning to end, and believed that the decay of the seal was still related to too long time.
And he found that if he wanted to re-seal, the difficulty was not in the sealing method and number of people, but in unsealing.
Jing Chuan sat on Si Lin's lap, clenched his fists with his hands and lowered his chin, and said solemnly: "Two major difficulties, one is too large, I don't know if the two buildings will disintegrate when the lockdown is lifted. It’s because the sealing method is too old, I don’t have a clue yet, I have to ask my master.”
Si Lin hugged Jing Chuan tenderly, "It's fine as long as there is no problem with the seal."
Jing Chuan: "I can make it up this time, and I can make it up next time, but what if after many, many years, the seal doesn't work and someone discovers the secret here... I don't want future generations to blame you."
Si Lin lowered his head and saw Jing Chuan pouted, looking a little annoyed.
It seemed that he was irritated by his own words.
Silin couldn't help but rubbed his hair, "Don't worry, you are already a mystic in District 27, and you can study slowly when you have time. If you want to come here, I will bring you in anytime."
"Okay." Jing Chuan struggled to stand up from Si Lin's arms, "Don't worry, I will study and study again, and I am determined not to have to repair the seal again and again in the future."
Silin looked down at his legs, "Have you been squatting for so long, are your legs really not numb?"
Jing Chuan glanced at him, and said shyly, "They're all married, if you want to make a move, you don't need to make excuses."
"I didn't..." Silin was tongue-tied for a moment, not knowing how to explain.
Jing Chuan patted his arm, "Just kidding! Do you want me to perform a [-]-meter sprint for you?"
Silin shook his head, "It's just fine."
Jing Chuan's work was over, and it was Silin's turn to start the final inspection procedure.
He took out his laptop from his black backpack and set up a plastic pole more than ten centimeters on the ground.
Silin said that it was left by the ancestors to detect the completeness of the seal.
Silin explained again: "Uh, this is an old rule. It's not that I don't trust you. Using third-party testing tools will protect each other."
Jing Chuan stared at the center of the computer screen, the translucent circle circled around, and the word "100%" jumped out.
Silin was stunned for a moment.
The list next to the program shows the past detection records, which have always hovered around 99.5%.
Another line of words popped up below, predicting that the next initial decay period will be one and a half years later.
Silin looked at Jing Chuan in shock.
On the contrary, Jing Chuan frowned slightly, "Is it only a year and a half? I thought it was at least two years..."
Silin said, "Do you know how amazing this is? In the ten years since I took over, only you have reached 100%."
Jing Chuan's brows furrowed.
He squatted beside Silin, raised his head, a little happy and a little proud.
He seemed to be waiting for a compliment.
Silin said, "You are indeed the most powerful mystic."
Looking down again, Jing Chuan in front of him seemed to be waiting for someone to kiss him.
Silin's heart skipped a beat.
He almost never experienced this feeling.
Is this exciting?
There was only one thought in Silin's body, pushing him to follow his heart.
It's as if the ancestors for thousands of years, through the genes, Qiqi left him with the experience and feeling, encouraging him to do this.
Si Lin raised his hand and carefully supported the back of Jing Chuan's head.
He raised his chin and lightly kissed Jing Chuan on the forehead.
In the past time when the two got along, Jing Chuan was always the most active one.
Suddenly, Si Lin took the initiative to kiss him, Jing Chuan was really taken aback.
No excitement, no ecstasy.
Only shy after being kissed by someone I like.
Jing Chuan buried his face in his arms.
And Si Lin didn't say a word, and hurriedly packed his things.
He stood up and stretched out his hand to Jing Chuan, "Let's go."
Jing Chuan blushed and raised his head, holding Si Lin's warm hand.
