I would rather be a free and autonomous commoner than a puppet of the "most powerful", so I have this new decision. I opened the box and pulled the sheets on both sides, but I immediately found that I couldn't tear it or pull it off. Perhaps it was because my hands were shaking at that time, because I was afraid that the "high priest" would wake up suddenly. If the "Great Priest" knew that he had been deceived again, not only would I suffer, but so many people would suffer! I couldn't destroy the box, so I folded it up again and put it in a bag, then I lifted a stone bench and slammed it hard against the control panel, and I rushed to the next room to destroy the scientific equipment , the result of my sabotage was to make the "grave" suddenly dark.

I remembered the way out, groped, and retreated outwards, and finally, I climbed out from the crack in the mountain again. When I climbed out of the crevice, it was in the evening, and the light of the setting sun dyed the flat yellow sand into a strange and sad red.But no matter how miserable it was, at this moment, in my opinion, there was an indescribable sense of warmth. Because I'm back in the human realm again! Just now, I was in the "tomb" of the "Great Priest", and I felt that I was not in a human realm. I climbed down the mountain and took out the explosives from my luggage. It is only used after encountering obstacles in the tomb.

But in fact, the "ancient tomb" I imagined is not ancient at all, and it has surpassed the times for many years. Of course, I don't need explosives to open the way. At this time, explosives gave me other uses, and I climbed again. I went up the mountain, stuffed the explosives into the crevices of the rocks, pulled down the fuse, lit it, and I went down the mountain at a fast speed, running forward. When I ran out dozens of steps, there was a loud "boom", and the explosives exploded! I fell on the ground, only to feel that the sand particles stirred up by the explosion covered me like a shower, and buried my whole body. I struggled hard, and only then did I reveal a head.

When I looked back, I let out a sigh of relief. The stone crevice has been filled by the blasted stones, and no one will know that there was once a mountain crevice here, which can lead to three mysterious stone chambers. Of course, no one would know that there was a tauren from another celestial body in those three stone chambers.The tauren was once the high priest of a dynasty in ancient Egypt, and he is not dead now, he is just in a state of hibernation. However, the last "hibernation" made him spend three thousand years in the cave. This time "hibernation", the time he needs to spend is even more distant, and it is very likely that no one will find him again!

Moreover, even if someone finds him, no one can wake him up, because I will immediately try to destroy that "box". Still decided to destroy him. When the sound of the explosion completely disappeared and the surroundings returned to silence, I got up from the sand. Just after I got up, I saw a large number of poisonous scorpions crawling out of the canyon. There were tens of thousands of them. After they left the canyon, they scattered, like a flood spring, As if pouring out of the canyon, I took a deep breath, turned around and ran forward. Fortunately, the movement of my legs is much faster than the six legs of the poisonous scorpion. I ran forward as much as possible. At the beginning, I still carried a lot of things on my body, but the "rustling" sound of the poisonous scorpion crawled, It seemed to be behind me all the time, and I threw away the burden bit by bit, until there was only a jug of water left. Fortunately, I saw my car.

It wasn't until I saw my car that I had the courage to look back, my God, don't think I can go much faster than those scorpions, they are less than twenty paces behind me. Seeing thousands of poisonous scorpions rushing forward like a tidal wave, it really made my hair stand on end. I jumped into the car in three steps at a time, and started the car before closing the door. However, when I stepped on the accelerator, I was stunned, the car had already run out of gas! But I really didn't have the strength to run forward anymore, so I had to close the car door tightly and screw up the windows.

The scorpions are coming, they are coming all over the sky, there is nothing to block their way, they climbed on the car, over the car, when they climbed through the glass window, and then slipped down, I can clearly see Seeing their ugly bodies and their poisonous stings that can kill people, I shrank tightly. Since the windows and doors were all tightly closed, it didn't take long before I felt it was difficult to breathe. . I didn't dare to open the window, not even a crack, I just endured it. I'm not hopeless, because I can see that a large group of poisonous scorpions are just rushing forward, not wanting to stay here.But there are too many scorpions, when will it be over?

I am grateful that it is not daytime, otherwise I would not have been able to support for such a long time in a sealed car. The poisonous scorpions were finally gone, so I opened the window a crack, leaning on the crack, sucking in greedily, but I still didn't dare to get out of the car, until dawn, I was sure there were no poisonous scorpions around, I Only then continued to walk forward. When I came here, I had a car instead, so I didn’t feel bad about it, but when I went back, I could only rely on walking. It was really hard work. I struggled step by step in the desert. Fortunately, although I lost everything, I still kept the jug of water. I guess the jug of water will enable me to reach the Temple of Zeud within two days without dying.At this time, my biggest hidden worry is the large group of poisonous scorpions.

If I encounter those poisonous scorpions again, then I will definitely not survive. My luck was good. Although I was exhausted from walking in the desert for more than 30 hours, when I couldn't support myself and fell down, I didn't fall down on the desert. I fell on the stone steps of the temple of Zeed! Many people surrounded me, chattering, I ignored them, just lying down, until a policeman came, helped me up, put me in a car, and went to the hospital. I recovered completely in no time. To my surprise, the police came to see me, but their attitude was not very friendly. They just advised me to leave quickly.

Since they were unfriendly, of course I never told them what happened to me. And when I was discharged from the hospital, I did plan to leave, but before I left, there was one thing I had to do. I'm going to see Hu Ming. Hu Ming was in another brain disease hospital, and I was allowed to see him after several negotiations.However, there are still a few people from the "hospital side" who are by my side. I really don't understand why the hospital is so nervous. Hu Ming is just a poor victim. He has lost all consciousness. No matter how bad-hearted he is, he won't hurt him again. Why the hospital-- It should be the police, because I could tell at a glance that the two people from the "hospital" side who accompanied me were plainclothes police officers—why were you so nervous about him?

Accompanied by those two people, I walked through a winding corridor, and then entered the central part of the circular hospital building, where there was an open space. In the center of the open space, there is a small house that looks lonely. Outside the small house, several people are patrolling. At this point, my suspicions became even worse, and I asked, "Hey, what happened to Hu Ming?" "Nothing, no progress at all." The two replied. I pointed forward: "Then why are you so nervous." Those two people were obviously unwilling to continue discussing this issue, they just said coldly: "We know what should be done and what should not be done." The attitude of the other party is so cold and arrogant, it is naturally inconvenient for me to ask further.At this time, I also found that although some people outside this house were wearing the uniforms of hospital staff, one thing is certain: they are definitely not hospital staff. They are all police officers! I went all the way to the door of that house, and just as I was about to step in, those two men stopped me: "No, sir, you can't go into that house." I yelled angrily, and said, "Why? I was allowed to see Professor Hu Ming." "Yes, you are allowed to see him, but you don't need to go into the house. His room is downstairs, and you can see him through the window." ─ This was the answer of the two people. And when they talked about the word "see", they especially emphasized the tone.I really felt furious, and I said loudly: "The so-called seeing him means, of course, not looking at him through the window, but visiting him. You will understand." Those two were soft-skinned snakes, they stretched out their hands, expressing that there was nothing they could do, and at the same time said: "That's none of our business, we are ordered, you are only allowed to look at Hu Ming through the window." I clenched my hands tightly. If there were only those two guys by my side, I couldn't help but want to be rough. But at this time, the rest of the people approached me together. There were nearly a dozen of them in total. Of course, I can defeat ten of them, but the helpers from the hospital may continue to come, and I will make a big fuss As a result, it is very likely that Hu Ming will not be seen at all. So, I held back my breath: "Okay, then please take me there to 'meet' Hu Ming." The two turned to the left, and I followed them, walked seven or eight steps, and stood in front of a window before they said, "He's inside." I quickly took a step forward and looked into the window. Due to the reflection of the glass, I had to get very close, almost touching the glass with the tip of my nose, to see what was going on inside. And when I saw the situation inside, I was taken aback, and I took several steps back before I stood still, and I gasped involuntarily. When I went to the window and tried my best to look inside, I could hardly see anything, because the light in the room was really very dark, but then, a swollen, pale, smirking face emerged! That face suddenly appeared out of the darkness, and it was so close to me that the tip of our noses could not have been more than two centimeters apart - separated only by a layer of glass! To be so close to such a terrifying face, anyone would be surprised. After I backed away abruptly, that face was still behind the glass, smiling smirk at me, it was a creepy smirk, I managed to gather my composure, and then turned around: "This...is Hu Ming?" The two nodded: "It's him." I turned my head again, and the face was still behind the glass, that is the dark, optimistic and educated Hu Ming?This is really an unbelievable thing. I turned around, my body couldn't help trembling slightly, I strode outside, until I walked out of the hospital, my mind was a little clearer. I took a breath and stood still. Those two people have been following me. At this moment, one of them said: "Because of you, sir, our six excellent experts have become like this. Sir, please leave quickly, if you continue to stay here, I'm afraid we will not be able to contain our emotions, and there are some things to do." To my surprise, these two people were indeed police officers.It's ridiculous that the police here actually put the matter on me, thinking that I was the culprit. Isn't this almost ridiculous? However, the loss of six outstanding experts really hurts them deeply. If I don't leave here as soon as possible, they may not only mean what they say, but actually be against me! I nodded: "Actually, I can argue, but I don't think it's necessary. I'll go straight to the airport." I reached out and called a street car, jumped on it: "Airport!" The car sped forward, and my mind was so confused that I didn't even dare to look out of the car window, for fear that Hu Ming's terrifying idiot face would suddenly appear out of the window.When I thought of this, I suddenly froze and shouted: "Stop!" The streetcar driver stopped the car, turned his head, and looked at me with strange eyes. At this moment, an extremely important question came to my mind. I just caught a clue, so I never want anyone to come Disrupting my thoughts, I didn't wait for him to speak, and said again: "Keep driving, but slow down, don't ask too many questions, and do as I say." A look of horror appeared on the face of the streetcar driver.Because I came out of a famous brain hospital just now, and there are all kinds of lunatics in that hospital, he must have regarded me as one of the lunatics, but that's good too, and it can save him from bothering me. The car continued to drive forward, but it was really slow. My thoughts gradually got on the track.My sudden thought came from the fear of Hu Ming's face suddenly appearing out of the window. I first thought, under what circumstances would Hu Ming's face suddenly appear out of the car window?The answer is: unless Hu Ming is a fragmented person. If Hu Ming is a detached person, then his head, which can move freely without his body, may appear outside the car window. What I think of is: If Hu Ming is a detached person, what if? According to the "Great Priest", Deng Shi's hand left his wrist, it seemed as if his hand had suddenly severed his wrist, but in fact it was not like that, but had a rather complicated process of change.That kind of light shone on his hand, breaking his hand into many atoms within a ten-thousandth of a second (perhaps shorter). Atoms are of course invisible to the eye, so his hand disappeared.However, the decomposed atoms are assembled and arranged in their original positions at a certain distance away, which makes his hand appear at a certain distance away.However, the weak electric waves of the human nervous system still maintain the commanding power to the limbs that are a certain distance away. The whole process is like that! Then, if Hu Ming's head leaves his body under such a process and recovers again, what should be the result? The "Great Priest" once said that the restored arrangement of atoms is completely in accordance with the original situation.What is worth studying is the sentence "the original situation". Now, Hu Ming has suffered severe damage to his brain nerves due to the stimulation of drugs. If all the tissues in his head are completely atomized and then combined and arranged, the "original situation" refers to his brain. Before the drug stimulation, or after? If it was the situation before being stimulated by drugs, then Hu Ming could fully recover.Even if not, he has nothing to lose. I recalled the times when Deng Shi and I had entangled each other. I had injured his hand more than once, but the injury seemed to heal very quickly on his hand. Is that because after the process of disintegration and reorganization, the "original situation" is "restored"?That was before the injury! When I thought of this, I immediately shouted again: "Stop, stop!" The driver stopped the car, and only then did I realize that the car had arrived at the entrance of the airport. The driver turned his head: "Sir, aren't you going to the airport?" I shook my head and said, "No, I've changed my mind!" The driver looked at me with a very strange look, suddenly let out a strange cry, opened the car door, jumped out of the car, and ran away as if dying. I was stunned for a while, but I immediately understood that it was the driver who finally regarded me as Being a madman, so he ran away. Of course I wouldn't explain anything to him. I got to the driver's seat, drove the car, turned around, and drove straight to the police station. When I reached the gate of the police station, I rushed straight into the police station. But as soon as I entered the gate of the police station, I felt that the atmosphere was very strange, because several police officers and one police officer were looking at me with a very strange look. I forced a smile to them: "Please let me see──" But before I could say the name of the person I wanted to see, two police officers approached me aggressively and shouted, "Get out, you, get out of here, get out of our country!" There was no room for further words, I could only keep backing away until I exited the gate, and another police officer behind them even drew his gun! I quickly jumped into the street car and drove away quickly. I never imagined that they were so excited.The reason I came to the police station was because I thought that after the decomposition and recombination of human atoms, it is possible for Hu Ming to recover, and the box is still on my body. It will give birth to the kind of decomposition light, so that Hu Ming has the hope of recovery! However, the police officers did not even want to listen! That doesn't matter, it seems that I will try to get Hu Ming out of the hospital by myself. Thinking of the heavily guarded situation of Hu Ming's ward by the police, I couldn't help frowning. I have done all kinds of strange things, but "stealing" a living person out, such a thing is still Breaking the problem for the first time! I also considered Hu Ming's current situation, even if he was "stealed" out, it would not be easy to resettle him, so I might as well prepare everything first. While driving the car, I thought about it, and finally, I got out of the car, stayed in a hotel, and had a good rest for the day. I have a ready-made place that I can use, and that is Deng Shi's residence! The next day, I sneaked into the hospital at night. The security of the police was not as tight as before. It was much easier than I imagined to bring Hu Ming out. I prepared two sets of white uniforms in advance and stole them. After entering, both myself and Hu Ming put on white uniforms, and I supported Hu Ming, walked out of the hospital in a grand manner, and came to Deng Shi's house. I made Hu Ming sit on a chair, and then connected the "box" to an electric current, and the light shot out and hit Hu Ming's head. I was so nervous that I held my breath, everything was completed within a ten-thousandth of a second, and as soon as the light shot out, Hu Ming's head disappeared, and then I heard his cry: "God, where is my body? " From my point of view, Hu Ming's head is gone, but in the eyes of Hu Ming who has fully recovered his mind, it is his body that has disappeared, because his head is three steps away.I quickly cut off the current, Hu Ming's body ran over, and his head returned to his body. i did it! The other five people were also cured under the same circumstances. When Hu Ming appeared in the police station well, the police officers completely changed their attitude towards me. The matter can be said to be over. What I don't understand is why Deng Shi needed the metal piece so urgently that day, or why he also felt that the "box" still had some superhuman power.But how he knew of the existence of that piece of metal, I don't know. Oh, by the way, there is also that "box", such a perfect, huge, incomparable computer, a universal new electronic factory that people on earth can't even imagine after several centuries, what happened to it? It was thrown into the sea by me when the ship passed the Pacific Ocean on my return journey. May it be like the "high priest" and no one will find it! (full text)
