Chapter 10 Chapter 21 Becomes an Invisible Man

As I spoke, I reached out and pressed the lid of the box. The box was right in front of me, and I was sitting cross-legged on the ground.When I finished speaking, I raised my hand. I cut off the hinges of the brass box, so the lid just covered the box. When I picked it up, the lid vibrated and moved a few inches to the side. The gap between the lid and the box In the meantime, a gap appeared. Just in that slit, an extremely intense white light suddenly shot out! That white ray of light was so intense, as if in an instant, a hot, white fireball fell into our tent, Aibo sat up abruptly, in an instant, due to I couldn't see anything due to the strong light.

At that time, an inexplicable sense of terror suddenly appeared in my heart, and my body was even trembling. I only heard Aibo shout: "Oh my God! My hand! " I quickly lowered my head and looked at my own hand.I also screamed strangely: "My hand..." My hand, the hand I put in front of me, the muscles on my hand are disappearing from my sight, the change is so fast that I don't even have time to think about it, my two hands, Has become two sets of bones. At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of crying, I turned my head quickly, and saw Aibo covering his face with his hands—no, it was two sets of hand bones, covering a skeleton.

Listening to the sound, he is crying, but I can't be sure if he is really crying, because the muscles of his head and face have completely disappeared from sight, and I can't see the expression on his face. I couldn't help touching my face. Of course the muscles on my face were still there, but I knew they must be invisible. In the next few minutes, my mood flustered to an unprecedented level. Then, I barely regained my sanity, rushed over, and closed the lid of the copper box. Just now, the extremely bright and white light emitted by the mineral filled the entire tent. At this moment, as soon as the copper box lid was closed, the inside of the tent suddenly became dark.

I kept panting, although I still couldn't cry, but in my heart, I really wanted to cry.I seem to have returned to my childhood, lost in the dark alone.It was like being in an extremely terrifying nightmare. The fear in my heart was indescribable. I think of the note on the transparent fish in the "Primary Color Tropical Fish Atlas": there is a sense of self-fear.Now that I have become a transparent person, I know what happened to that uncontrollable fear, that kind of fear that comes from the bottom of my heart and tightly grasps every nerve and every cell in your body. thing!

It was more overwhelming than the terror of a murderer awaiting sentencing, an innocent man about to be lynched. I can proudly say that both Aibo and I are extremely strong people. But at this time, Aibo kept crying, and I was just panting like a fish out of water, as if we couldn't do anything except these two actions. It took a long time before I gradually got over that deadly fear, and felt a little better in my heart. At this time, Aibo also stopped crying, but his voice was still sobbing: "Wesley, what... is this going on?" I took a deep breath: "I don't know, but We have become transparent people."

Ai Bo said: "Why did it change? You... once said that the things in the box emitted 'anti-transparent light'. Why did it suddenly change and become transparent?" I smiled bitterly, held my head and shook it, Aibo turned his head away, not looking at me.A pair of neckbones holding a pair of skulls shaking, this is by no means a pretty sight, it is conceivable. I said, "I don't know why!" Aibo said: "What should we do?" I said: "I only know that if we continue to be exposed to that kind of light, we can become invisible people, then... maybe it will be better than now."

Aibo almost didn't think about it: "No!" I also never imagined that in order to make Wang Yan and Yan Fen stop being transparent people, I came to Egypt and went through such a tortuous process, but in the end I myself became a transparent person! I sat slumped, and Aibo kept saying: "Think of a way, I don't want to become a transparent monster, I don't want to be an invisible person, let me be an ordinary person, let me be a drunkard, an insignificant street in Cairo homeless!" I can't answer Aibo's words. Because I don't want to be a transparent person or an invisible person. I would rather be a beggar full of scabies, lying on the street to catch lice, and I can see my muscles instead of my bones.

After a while, I said, "Do you still remember being in the center of the pyramid?" Aibo said, "What is there to remember?" I said: "The same piece of mineral, why did it radiate colorful light at that time, but when it enters the tent, it becomes bright white transparent light?" Ai Bo said: "Who knows, maybe it's a witch ghost, and it will change after drinking it, and it will become like that." I stayed for a while before I said, "Ai Bo, don't be discouraged. As far as I know, the transparent people who arrived in Egypt thousands of years ago were indeed restored to their original state in Egypt. In Egypt, there must be a thing, It can emit 'anti-transparent light'."

Ai Bo said: "You once said that you have found anti-transparent light!" I pressed my hand on the lid again, and finally, I lifted the lid of the box again. In the dazzling white light, Aibo exclaimed, "What are you doing?" I quickly glanced into the box and closed the lid again.All that was contained in the box was a piece of mineral, the same size and shape as when I first saw it. It's just that when I saw it for the first time, it emitted colorful and gorgeous light, but now, it is dazzling white light.Why did it change? I was at a loss in my heart and had no clue at all.Aibo huddled his body tightly in a corner of the tent, and I didn't have the courage to look at him.The two of us waited in such a helpless situation, and we didn't even know what we were waiting for.

My mind was extremely chaotic, like a huge whirlpool. In the muddy water, there was everything, but it was all spinning extremely quickly, so that people could capture a complete impression. I thought about how the chiefs of the Inca Empire returned to normal after they came to Egypt, and I also thought about why the light emitted by the same mineral suddenly changed suddenly. I thought about it for a long time, and suddenly I felt that I had a clue to pursue. I thought of something. In the pyramid, we wear oxygen tanks. I used to light a lighter, but because of the extreme lack of oxygen, the lighter could not be ignited.

In order to better preserve the mummies, the Egyptians already knew to use compression to drive out the air in the pyramids.After decades, the interior of the pyramid is not far from a vacuum, if not a vacuum.Radioactive substances emit light of different properties under different environments. When I thought of this, my heart suddenly lit up. That mineral is the same as the one in the brass box that made Wang Yan, Yan Fen and Braque transparent.It was brought by wandering groups from the Inca Empire.When that kind of thing is exposed to normal air, it emits a scorching white light: transparent light! But if it is exposed in an environment like the inside of the pyramid, the light it emits is colorful and gorgeous: anti-transparent light! I stood up abruptly, convinced that my deduction was correct. Because at the same time, I also thought about why the wanderers of the Sopa tribe found their way to recover in Egypt. At that time, of course, there was no vacuum equipment in the world, but there were in Egypt. There are many pyramids in Egypt, and the interior of the pyramids is almost like a vacuum. I can even be sure that they must have entered the pyramid by accident at that time, and found that the mineral had a different light inside the pyramid, which made them return to normal. I shouted loudly: "Aibo, I found the real translucent light!" Aibo shook his head, and I saw the seams of his neck bones constantly turning. If it wasn't so scary, this would be a very funny thing.He said: "You have already found it once." I said: "This time it's true, Aibo, I have discovered the real mystery of it." Ai Bo smiled wryly, "What mystery?" I said: "The same mineral emits colorful brilliance inside the pyramid, but emits white light inside the tent. Do you know why?" Aibo screamed, "Genius knows why!" I said: "It's not God who knows, but I know, Aibo, it's because there is no air inside the pyramid, do you remember? I can't light my lighter." Ai Bo's tone was still very frustrated: "So what?" I stood up: "Let's go to the inside of the pyramid!" Aibo suddenly laughed strangely, his upper and lower jaws were moving rapidly. I asked loudly, "What are you laughing at?" Ai Bo said: "Should we go like this? Before we reach the ancient city, we will be beheaded by someone as a monster!" In fact, I have seen our current situation, and there may not be many people in the world who dare to kill us. But don’t forget that we are transparent people with a strong sense of self-fear psychologically, so as soon as I heard what Ai Bo said, I immediately felt that what he said was very reasonable. I stayed for a moment, and clapped my hands: "Yes, we can simply be exposed to more transparent light, so that our bones will also disappear from sight and become invisible people. People can find it." Ai Bo pointed to the brass box, and said: "Where is this box? Of course we have to take it with us. Do we want people to see a box flying in the air?" I smiled wryly, and said, "Ai Bo, you can't refuse to take risks at all!" Ai Po suddenly yelled and said, "It is because I followed you on an adventure that I became what I am today!" As he yelled, he suddenly rushed towards me! I never expected that Aibo would act so crazily when he was doing well. I fell to the ground when I was hit by him, and his hands were stabbing at my throat.I am not going to blame Ai Bo, the reason why he behaves abnormally is because he has become a transparent person, but I have to get rid of him, I struggle, suddenly, I bump into the box, the lid is opened, Intense white light once again filled the tent. Ai Bo gave a strange cry, jumped up, and stepped back. I stared at him, his head gradually faded, faded, and then disappeared like a shadow. I looked down at myself again, my hands were gone, I rolled up my sleeves, my arms were gone, and my vision immediately began to blur, everything I saw was just a layer of white haze shadow. I am now a real invisible person, but I don’t have the feeling of supernatural powers and freedom to come and go. How sad, sad? As for me, not only did I lose my thigh, I lost everything, I... am I still alone? I looked towards Aibo, only to see a piece of clothing and a pair of pants flying around. Since the light can pass through my eyes at this time, my eyesight has declined to almost zero, and I seem to be in the thickest and thickest fog. I fumbled on the ground and closed the lid. The light was not so strong, and my vision recovered a bit.But it's not much better, and in that almost blind situation, it is impossible for us to carry out any activities at all. At this time, I couldn't help admiring that after Black became an invisible man, he came to my house and threatened me, and even followed me to Major Jack's office.At that time, his eyesight was as poor as suffering from myopia of more than 2,000 degrees. If it weren't for his extreme vigilance, this would of course not be possible. Aibo's crying came to my ears again, and he groaned: "Where am I? Where am I?" I took a breath: "Aibo, you are still there, you are an invisible person." Aibo shouted nervously: "No, I'm not an invisible person, I'm dead, I'm just a soul, so I can't see myself." I was angry and funny in my heart: "If only your soul is talking now, then you should be able to see your dead body, where is it?" Ai Bo said: "I can't see, I can't see anything." I sighed: "Can't you even see a vague shadow?" I took off my shirt and waved it in front of him. Ai Bo said: "Shadow, I only see a little vague shadow, Wesley, will we be like this forever?" I said: "Of course not, as long as we get to the inside of the pyramid, we can immediately return to the original state." Ai Bo's voice was crying, "How do we get there? We can't see anything, how do we get there?" I stood there blankly, and walked back and forth a few steps. My foot accidentally kicked something. Since my vision is already very bad, I couldn't see what I kicked at all. I bent down and groped, and as soon as I touched the thing, I realized that it was a small and lightweight infrared viewer. I had brought this infrared viewer into the pyramid, but I didn't use it.This small infrared viewer is a newly invented thing, and the police in the United States use it to replace the flashlight to watch the night.With an infrared viewer, everything can be seen at night without being noticed. As soon as I realized that it was an infrared viewer, my heart skipped a beat. Now Aibo and I's eyesight is almost zero, that's because my eyeballs have become transparent and cannot cause visible light to be refracted into shadows.But infrared is "invisible light". Can this observer help us restore vision and enable us to act? I quickly picked up the infrared viewer, which was shaped like an eight-centimeter movable movie camera, and put it in front of my eyes. A dark red immediately appeared in front of my eyes, and I saw Aibo!I mean, not only did I see Aibo's clothes, but I also saw Aibo's people. I saw Aibo's skeleton, and also saw that outside Aibo's skeleton, there was a shallow layer wrapped around it, as if someone had drawn Aibo's skeleton with a very faint red line. It is a very strange phenomenon. I moved the lens of the observer, and the desert outside also turned dark red. Although it was still not comparable to the sight of ordinary people, we could already move without any problem. I quickly said: "Ai Bo, don't be discouraged, I have another solution, you try to use this infrared viewer to see." Aibo took over the observer, and he didn't hear his voice for a long time. After about ten minutes, he let out a breath and said: "It's extremely wonderful, like a person who has never used a microscope. It's like suddenly having a microscope, and the whole world looks different!" I said: "We can sneak into the pyramid without being known by the Arabs." Ai Bo said: "But this observer, and that copper box..." I said: "If we meet people, we can put the observer and the copper box on the ground, and we will work at night, then it will be much safer." Aibo seemed much more optimistic: "Also, we must Act naked." I said: "Of course, we are truly invisible only if we are naked." Ai Po smiled bitterly: "Being an invisible person is so uncomfortable. By analogy, "Atomic Astroman" and "Superman" will definitely not be comfortable. The most comfortable thing is to be an ordinary person and be with everyone. Just like ordinary people." I smiled and said, "What you said already has some philosophy of life that is close to that of the Chinese." Aibo smiled wryly. We ate some canned food and made another pot of coffee. I kept persuading Aibo to believe that as soon as we returned to the pyramid, we could return to the original state, so he gradually became more cheerful. up. He told me many anecdotes of the Second World War, and various strange legends circulating in Egypt.With our bodies completely hidden, of course none of us can sleep.Aibo's story made us pass the day. When it was dark again, I picked up the infrared viewer, and Aibo carefully carried the copper box. We all took off our clothes and started to walk forward.At this time, if anyone encounters us, one of the weirdest things will be added to the legends about the desert, because at this time, neither of us can see, and all we can see is a bird. The brass box, an infrared viewer, is just moving forward in the air. Whether it's dark or light, it's all the same to us, because we have to use that infrared viewer to move forward. An hour later, we came to the secret entrance to the ancient city. The secret entrance must be opened from the inside. Aibo jumped a few times vigorously at the entrance, making a "puff" sound, and then immediately stepped aside, and put the infrared viewer and the brass box, Cover it with sand. After a while, an Arab came out from the secret entrance. He looked around, with a strange expression on his face, because there was no cover around, and the person who made the "puff" sound just now, no matter how fast his steps were, he could not escape from his sight. When he was in a daze, I had already rushed forward and slashed at the cartilage on the back of the Arab's neck with my palm, knocking the Arab unconscious.I believe that when the Arab woke up, he thought he had just had a bad dream. I stepped back again, picked up the viewer, hugged the Arab, and entered the corridor. We left the Arab in the corridor, closed the secret entrance, and walked forward quickly. After a while, we entered the ancient city. Because it was late at night and the ancient city was very quiet, the two of us walked forward quickly. I found the two wells, but no one had discovered them. When we got to the wells, we breathed a sigh of relief. Because as long as you step into the well, you will be in the secret passage leading to the pyramid. Of course, you will not meet anyone in that secret passage.In other words, we can successfully reach the inside of the pyramid. We went down the well one after another and walked forward in the corridor. Ai Bo's mood was obviously much more relaxed. We were not afraid of being knocked down by others, and our fear was naturally relieved a lot. Wang Yan and Yan Fen, why At this time, I can fully understand the feeling of wanting to live in hiding on a deserted island and refuse to meet anyone. After a while, I had already pushed open the first round door. As soon as I poked my head in, I retracted immediately, and at the same time closed the round door forcefully. I coughed violently. I believed that if I had been caught If people could see it, my complexion must have become very serious. Aibo cried, "What's the matter? What's the matter?" I coughed for a long time before I said, "Aibo, we forgot one of the most important things." Ai Po almost wanted to cry again, and said, "What did we forget?" I pointed to the round door, and after pointing, I realized that no matter what I did, it was for nothing, because Aibo couldn't see me at all.I said, "The air inside—" Ai Bo said: "Isn't it a vacuum? We just need to hold our breath for a minute." I shook my head——half way, then stopped, because I remembered that Aibo couldn't see me, and said: "The inside is not a vacuum, but there is air, but I don't know what that air is." There is absolutely no way for a person to survive for five seconds in that kind of air.” Ai Bo said: "Then what should we do? What should we do?" I couldn't see him, but I heard his footsteps as he whirled around. I quickly said: "Ai Bo, calm down, the problem is too easy to solve, we just need to go back and get the oxygen tank." Aibo was almost moaning: "Oxygen tank? How could we bring it in? What if someone saw the oxygen tank flying in the air?" Aibo's spirit almost completely collapsed.I thought for a while: "You wait here for me, I'll go. If possible, I'll bring two sets of oxygen tanks, otherwise, one is enough." Ai Bo said: "I'll wait here...you have to come back soon." I took a few steps outside and turned around: "Ai Bo, you must not open that round door and go in. Without an oxygen tank, you will die if you go in." Ai Bo replied, I picked up the infrared viewer, walked out quickly, and walked out of the well after a while. I didn't want to take another risk in my heart, but I couldn't think of anything else. I looked around and saw no one, so I ran forward as fast as I could. When I got to the secret tunnel, I saw the Arab who had been knocked out by me, still awake. Well, if we had already brought an oxygen tank when we came, then everything would be complete, but now, I have to go to our camp for another run. In that back and forth, will the Arab wake up?After he wakes up, what changes will happen?I had no way of predicting it, all I could do was, while feeling sorry in my heart, I hit the man hard on the back of the head, making him unconscious for a longer period of time. I walked out of the tunnel and galloped out in the desert. I believe that a galloping camel is not as fast as me.Thank goodness no one has spotted me since I got to camp. I picked up two cylinders of oxygen, and immediately rushed out in the direction of the ancient city. No matter how fast I ran, it was dawn when I was about to reach the entrance of the corridor. I walked into the corridor, the Arab was still unconscious, but at the same time, I heard footsteps coming from the corridor. As soon as I heard the sound of footsteps, I felt a burst of inexplicable terror in my heart. I felt at a loss for a while, not knowing what to do. I stayed for a minute or two before I remembered that I should leave that unconscious man first. Arab. I hurried forward seven or eight steps. In the infrared viewer, I saw two people coming in front of me. I quickly put down the oxygen tank and the infrared viewer in my hand. I also stood against the stone wall of the corridor. I thought, God, I was shaking at this moment, and I couldn't think of any reason why I should be afraid. I just hope that the two Arabs don't find the things I put on the ground. The two walked and talked, and gradually approached me, and finally passed by my side. They didn't find the things I put on the ground, so I immediately picked up the two things, walked forward a dozen steps, turned around, and saw those two people shaking the unconscious person, I didn't know Ignore them again and rush forward. After a while, I rushed out of the tunnel and arrived in the ancient city. The sky was getting brighter, and there were already pedestrians on the streets paved with stones in the ancient city! As soon as I appeared, an old woman with a plate on her head saw me—of course she didn't see me, but saw an infrared viewer, a pair of oxygen cylinders, flying towards her come over. The old woman was terrified, she just stood there numb, she didn't know how to run away, and she didn't know how to call out. That was really my luck, I passed by her quickly, but there were several people walking in front of me, I quickly dodged to the corner and stopped, and put the things on the ground. I was really anxious, Aibo was still waiting for me inside the pyramid, but I met someone here, would Aibo do something stupid because he couldn't wait for me. I only hoped that those few people would pass by me quickly, but the old woman just now rushed over and shouted loudly at those men. I couldn't understand what she was calling, but I could imagine that she was complaining to those men about the strange things she had just seen.Then, she saw the oxygen tank I put on the ground, she screamed strangely, pointed at the oxygen tank, and said a lot of words. Those men stood down in front of me. When one of them bent over and stretched out his fingers to tap the oxygen tank, I only needed to move a little, and I could pinch the tip of his nose! Of course he couldn't see me, and he never dreamed that there was a person squatting right in front of him—an invisible person. (As soon as I saw someone, I thought that I was naked, even though I knew that people would never see me, I immediately squatted down. This is a habit.) After he played the oxygen tank, he raised the infrared viewer. At this moment, I really wanted to knock them down and continue to run forward. However, I know that it is easy to defeat these people, but once these people are defeated, there are more people who know that strange things happened in the ancient city, and it is even more difficult for me to escape! I resisted it, only to hear that person suddenly laughed and said a few words, the rest of the people also laughed, and the old woman blushed and kept talking. Looking at the situation, it is clear that those few people did not believe the old woman's words, and the old woman was trying to argue. The men laughed for a while, then left. The old woman stood at a distance, looked at it for a while, and then walked away with a grunt. I breathed a sigh of relief, quickly picked up those two things again, and rushed forward. After all, it was just dawn, and there were not many pedestrians in the ancient city, so I was able to reach the two wells. I hurriedly climbed down the well, and as soon as I got to the bottom, I felt something was wrong. Although my current sight has been reduced to almost zero, I can tell whether it is extreme darkness or light in front of my eyes.Now I feel that the bottom of the well is not dark, but there is a very bright light coming from the front of the corridor, as if shooting from the front of the corridor, as if at the end of the corridor, there is a Like a searchlight! I was stunned for a moment, raised the infrared viewer, and brought it close to my eyes. The scene in front of me became clearer. At the end of the corridor, there was a bright light, that kind of white and bright light, I saw it immediately. It can be seen that it is "transparent light"! I rushed forward a few steps and shouted: "Aibo! Aibo!" There was no answer other than an echo. I knew the accident had happened, and I ran forward again. I started to feel the air was cloudy, but I could still breathe, so I didn't need to use the oxygen tank to maintain it. I ran to the end of the corridor, before the small round door. The transparent light shoots out from the small round door, and inside the small round door, there is another person, that is Ai Bo, his upper body is inside the small round door, and his lower body is outside the small round door. He is no longer an invisible person, but he is not an ordinary person either. His bones are clearly visible, but his muscles are still invisible. I quickly dragged him out, but he didn’t move at all. My tentacles were only slightly warm, but When I sniffed him, he was dead. I squatted beside him blankly, for how long I squatted, even I didn't know. In my mind, I can only feel chaos, extreme chaos.Then, I finally got a clue. I saw that the brass box was inside the small round door, and the mineral emitting the "transparent light" had fallen outside the box.I began to understand that Aibo must have been too eager to restore his original state. He thought that as long as he held his breath, he could withstand the harsh air that had not flowed through the pyramid for thousands of years. So, immediately after I left, he opened the little round door, slipped in, and opened the brass box. His heart was too anxious, so he opened the box before he got into it. The instant he opened the box, the mineral must have given off an "anti-transparent light," which revealed his skeleton.But because the small round door is still open, the air in the tower and the air outside have convection, the composition of the air has changed, and the "reflected transparent light" has immediately become "transparent light", so Aibo has not been fully recovered. . At this time, Aibo had already died due to the impact of bad air. The situation of Aibo made me know one more thing about transparent light, that is: if a person is dead, even if he accepts transparent light If it is illuminated, he will no longer be transparent.
