Chapter 43 Chapter Forty-Two Farewell, My Dear Friend

Kuhn was still turning the projector, and there was still the head of a nude stone statue on the curtain, but the nude stone statue in the projection actually moved!Originally, the nude stone statue was facing everyone with its back, but now it has turned around and we can see its front.The film is only 5 seconds long, and Yang Ning and I have watched it dozens of times and even studied it carefully.The stone nude was not moved at all in the film projection in the first place, and we were both so sure that it was unlikely, if hallucinatory, that both were the same. I stood in front of the curtain with my eyes wide open. The stone statue did indeed move, and we all saw it correctly.There was only one film reel, and when Yang Ning and I were reading the note, we didn’t hear Kuhn changing the film reel, only he kept shaking the projector.I looked at Kuhn, who seemed to be possessed, and felt a chill all over my body, and secretly scolded myself for being so stupid, I didn't realize such an obvious problem until now!

The film has only 80 frames, played at 16 frames per second, and can only be played for 5 seconds.The projectors in the past were different from the present ones. The most advanced projectors at that time also had to be rewound manually after the film was projected.Now that Kuhn keeps shaking the projector without rewinding at all, how can the content on the film continue to be played down?That is, when we first put the film in, weird things were happening that we didn't even notice. "Kuhn, don't look at it, there is a problem with the film!" I yelled in Chinese anxiously, but Kuhn couldn't understand, and was still obsessively watching the film.Immediately, I remembered what was on the note. Could it be that the question that Govorov couldn't figure out was going to be presented to us today.That night, who killed the people in the research institute, could it be that the film was to blame.I shook the dazed Kuhn. I had no other choice, so I put the few pieces of paper in front of him, which made Kuhn look away from the curtain.

Kuhn yelled at me a bunch of words in German, which I couldn't understand, probably asking me where I got the paper.I lifted the cigar tin, and Kuhn understood it instantly, so he took the time to read the few papers left by Govorov.Yang Ning and I wanted to turn off the light source of the projector to stop the playback of the film, but no matter how we turned it off, it didn't work. It seemed that the light source was out of control.I was wondering whether to smash the projector, when I looked at the curtain again, my god, the stone statue of the nude woman on the curtain not only turned around, facing us, but now it seems to have moved a certain distance to the front.

"Liu Anjing, the film is really what Govorov said!" Yang Ning said nervously. "Don't be afraid, I don't believe it can escape, let's find a way to get the film out of the machine first." I thought so, but I couldn't help but feel scared. Speaking of it, Yang Ning and I have experienced many battles, and we have to deal with death every time we fly over the hump route, so we should be quite courageous.However, in such an environment and under long-term torture, after seeing the mutation of the film, our sanity has reached the verge of collapse.It was only then that I deeply realized why Kuhn, Yang Ning, and Zhao Fei, who had never met before, became mentally disturbed.

I tried to get out the film reel, but it didn't work, the projector was so strong it couldn't be broken by a rock.Yang Ning was in a hurry and wanted to tear off the curtain, so that at least the projection could be blurred as much as possible.Unexpectedly, when we looked at the curtain again, the nude stone statue was already very close to the front, and it seemed that it would crawl out in the next second.It is already extraordinary that the stone statue can move, and now the stone statue in the film projection can also move, which completely subverts our world view. Here, I have to explain that this phenomenon is not supernatural, and it is also different from today's fantasy stories, and certainly not Japanese ghost stories.Soon, I will mention the answer to all these mysteries. The so-called stone statue movement has actually been slightly reflected in our lives, as long as you are careful enough, you can notice it.Now, let's go back to the story and continue to tell what happened at that time.

Yang Ning and I strode forward to tear off the curtain, but found that the curtain was already attached to the stone wall and could not be pulled at all.I squinted my eyes and looked behind the curtain. The light and shadow of the nude stone statue had turned into a three-dimensional appearance, and it was splitting from the stone little by little.In an instant, both Yang Ning and I understood that when Govorov was showing the film that night, the stone statue ran out and killed everyone.If Govorov could calm down that night and look carefully at the corners of the Ordinary Research Institute, he might still see the stone statue.

At this time, I patted my head, and now I don't care where the stone statue that ran out 9 years ago went, and I quickly asked Kuhn to escape together. I just went over and patted Kuhn, signaling him not to be stunned, but to run away with his backpack.Yang Ning hurried over to grab a few bags, threw them to me with difficulty, and then glanced at the curtain again.I took those backpacks and carried them like a porter.Kuhn hurriedly read the note, suddenly realized, and then said something in German that I couldn't understand.Seeing that I didn't understand, Kuhn used his hands and feet for a while, trying to explain something to me.

Kuhn saw that I couldn't understand, so he called Yang Ning and spoke in Russian.This passage was too long, and Yang Ning was startled when she heard it. I even thought she was going crazy again.Before Kuhn finished speaking, the stone statue came out of the curtain. I was afraid that the head would be broken by the stone statue, so I wanted to drag Kuhn away, so stop talking nonsense.But Kuhn refused to do it, and gave us all the weapons, food, and even the warm clothes in his backpack. "Farewell, my dear friend!" Kuhn said to us with a smile in very bad Chinese, then pushed us away, then yelled a few words in German, and finally waved to us with a smile.I know that Kuhn intends to sleep here forever, to accompany his friend Govorov from the Soviet Union, and I feel very sad for a while.Kuhn's 9-year wish has finally been fulfilled, and he has no motivation to live. In fact, he can leave the Himalayas with us, provided that we can escape.

We have known Kuhn for less than a few days, but he helped us everywhere and shed blood for us, which is something ordinary friends can do.As the posterity said well, some feelings cannot be measured by time. At a specific time, the feelings between each other can surpass others' lifetime.I was sad and wanted to bring Kuhn back, but Yang Ning dragged me to escape, and advised me not to be sad. Kuhn told her important things in Russian just now.Although I was curious, I didn't have the heart to ask Kuhn what he said to Yang Ning in the end. After a while, Kuhn disappeared into the darkness, and I never saw Kuhn again.Yang Ning also cried, and led me to continue running to the depths, fearing that the stone statue would chase after me.On the way to inform Hu Liang, Zhang Yicheng, Han Xiaoqiang and Gray, Yang Ning translated Kuhn’s original words for me, which explained almost everything——

"Friends from China, thank you for giving me the letter written by Govorov. I am a scientist in Germany, mainly studying physics. Govorov's letter made me suddenly enlightened. It turned out that the reason why these stone statues were formed is It’s like this. I heard from Hu Liang that this is China’s Himalayas, and this is your hump route. There are many incomprehensible wonders in this area, because this is where two continental plates are squeezed. My God, Wegener is correct." (The plate theory was first proposed by German Wegener. He was a German meteorologist and geophysicist. He was born in Berlin on November 1, 1880. He was killed in November 1930 while investigating the ice sheet in Greenland. It is called "continental drift Doctrine ", but his plate theory was not officially recognized until 1965.)

"Earthquakes are common in the Himalayas. That's because two continental plates are colliding and rubbing. There is a lot of energy here, so strong and frequent earthquakes can be caused! When the plates collide, they not only stick together, but also bounce off. These energies are not only tearing apart the mountain, but also tearing apart the space, and those golden-red rays of light are space cracks!" "The stone statues didn't move at first, but later they absorbed too much energy, so they became conscious and could kill people at an abnormal speed. The stone statues should only kill people who have also absorbed the energy of the plates. We have absorbed too much energy during this period. There is more energy, so the stone statue has been chasing us. Usually, things that have absorbed energy will not be satisfied, just like magnets, they will always move to or absorb things with certain characteristics.” "If I'm right, the stone statues sometimes move and sometimes they don't, because the Himalayas haven't experienced a strong earthquake for a long time, so the stone statues made by ancient civilizations haven't moved for a long time. Now the stone statues have violent shocks. Activity response, this shows that a very powerful space crack has been torn out in the mountain crack. That crack is not weak like other cracks. It’s coming from space cracks.” "The space crack must lead to another place. When we fled into Xinjiang, China 9 years ago, we arrived at the Himalayas in a blink of an eye. I concluded that the other end of the crack is Xinjiang, China, and you can escape to the snow mountain from there. Snow mountain The Soviet planes on board, Xinjiang camels, and tanks that appeared mysteriously are enough to prove my point. In the past few decades, the space rifts in this area have been active, and I think there may be more or less space rifts in other places. You often encounter danger when flying over the hump route, I think that apart from the weather, there is also a space crack torn out by the plate collision, which affects your plane." "When the stone statue on the film was shot, not only the stone statue absorbed the energy of the space crack, but also the film. When we played it here, the stone statue was activated by the energy condensed on the snow mountain. Space energy exists beyond all spaces, even in the flat world. The stone statue itself is not special, what is special is the huge energy generated by the continuous collision of two huge plates. That night in the Soviet Union, the stone statue must have appeared with residual energy. Everyone found that the people in the research institute were dead, but I didn't know that the murderer was in the film, it killed people and went back!" "The stone statues created by these ancient civilizations must have been taken from the depths of the cracks in the mountain, so they can absorb and use the energy. You also have the energy in your body now. Although the stone statues cannot be seen, they will chase you. But , as long as you find the big crack in the space deep in the crack, I believe that even if you can't go to Xinjiang, you can escape to other places. So many stone statues are chasing into the crack, it must be because there is a crack in the space underground. You go along the red mist, you must can be found." "This is a very complicated theory of physics. I can't explain it to you in detail. No one can understand it now. I believe someone will understand it one day. I will tell you all the answers I have thought about in the past nine years. I hope you can find it. Space crack, escape to Xinjiang. Good luck, my dear friends!" After listening to Yang Ning's hurried explanation, before I had time to digest the knowledge beyond our cognitive level, I responded softly in my heart: Farewell, my dear friend!Kuhn!
