There is no guarantee for the lottery? So what?

#333 - Chapter 333 Fearless Song

It was a corridor covered in Martian script.

Besides the sides, even the top of the cave was densely engraved with strange characters.

Indeed, this was originally an almost arched cave corridor, with no distinction between walls and ceiling, so these murals were even more unrestricted.

“Wait, let’s record this first.”

Xiao Xin took out a spherical device and held it in her palm.

“Start scanning.”

Once activated, the small mechanical ball lit up, then flew straight up.

When it hovered at the very center of the cave, a circle of blue scanning light shone from its body, scattering across the entire cave, and slowly drifting forward.

“Using this small scanning robot can preserve traces to the greatest extent and avoid personnel injuries.”

Xiao Xin explained:

“Recording with a camera is very incomplete and not conducive to researchers deciphering these characters, but this won’t be a problem.

Now, the surface of these caves has been uploaded to the database, and in the future, we can create equal-proportion holographic projections, or upload them to the virtual world, which would be much more efficient.

Moreover, some texts can be dangerous to the naked eye.

There was once a ruin where many texts about the power of ‘word spirits’ were recorded; those texts were cursed. Just looking at them for a few seconds would drive you insane, very dangerous.”

How terrifying.

Qi Jing asked:

“Did it cause a lot of casualties?”

If just looking would cause madness, wouldn't the exploration team beat each other into a pulp?

Xiao Xin smiled:

“No, that race, let’s tentatively call them the Word Spirit race, although they placed restrictions in the texts, only those who could understand the texts would go mad. Nothing happened during the collection and rubbing process at the time.

It was only later, when researchers were deciphering those texts, that they suddenly went mad, and we realized that these texts contained a power that could drive people mad.

Fortunately, the researchers' combat power was not high, and the security guards subdued them without injury.

However, after their madness symptoms were treated, they would go mad again once they remembered those texts, and after being treated again, they would still go mad, looping infinitely, so we could only delete all their memories about the texts to truly save them.

In short, even if deciphered, they would only go mad, then have their memories deleted, and it couldn't be passed on, so we were forced to shut down the experiment of deciphering these texts.

However, although large-scale research on the Word Spirit race's texts has stagnated, there are two people who are not afraid of madness and are still wholeheartedly exploring them.”

They are a couple; one is a text researcher, and the other is a mental ability user.

Whenever they were about to research some texts and were about to go mad, they would seize that little bit of time to write it down, and then purify away the madness, repeating this process over and over again.

So even after so many years, their achievements are still very small.

In fact, Xiao Xin felt that they were already crazy; wandering between madness and sanity every day, she couldn't imagine how they could go even crazier.

“Scanning is complete, shall we go in?” The scanning robot finished its work and flew back into Xiao Xin’s hand.

After hearing her story, Si Kong Yaoyao was a little scared:

“What if I suddenly don’t dare to go in?”

What if these texts could drive people mad even without understanding them? If madness broke out, she, as the weakest combatant among this group, would definitely be the first to die.

And what if it wasn't madness but suicide? Then there would be nowhere to escape, and dying directly here would be too miserable.

And what if these texts were actually disguised monsters? Once she went in, they would attack her in droves, and there might be curses, magic, sacrifices, corrosion...

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became.

Qi Jing saw that her legs were trembling so much they were about to cramp.

He hadn't seen this guy so scared usually; wasn't she quite brave before? Where did the courage to bet ten thousand points on her own win go?

Xiao Xin laughed when she saw her like this:

“It’s okay, these texts are just ordinary texts; they won’t have those strange powers.”

Si Kong Yaoyao nodded:

“I believe in Sister Xin Xin; I’m not afraid.”

Although she said that, her trembling voice and arms still betrayed her feelings.

She's still very scared.

“You won’t be afraid if you start walking; let’s move forward.” Xiao Xin pulled her forward step by step.

But even with her pulling, Si Kong Yaoyao’s fear didn’t get any effective relief; her whole body was clinging to Xiao Xin’s arm, not daring to let go.

At this time, Tan Zuoyin used her ability to emit a sound that normal humans couldn't hear:

“~~））~~）））000））））））））”

This was a result she learned from Professor Yue Qingyun—the fearless melody.

It can affect the changes in human nerve cells through sound waves to make them gain courage.

Similar ones include fear, drowsiness, and irritability.

But these were not what Tan Zuoyin wanted; her goal was to obtain a melody that directly controlled nerve cells, such as making people cry, sweat, or become constipated...

However, she was not in a hurry; with her joining Professor Yue Qingyun’s experiment, the speed had already been very fast, and she expected to be able to complete the downscaling of these melodies within a year.

“I seem to be, not so scared anymore.”

Si Kong Yaoyao didn’t know why she suddenly had a bit of courage; she felt that the cave in front of her was no longer so terrifying, and the hand pulling her also became stronger.

Could it be that her courage had evolved?

As expected of me!

Xiao Xin felt that her arm was not so heavy anymore and looked at Qi Jing in confusion.

He probably had some kind of tool that could encourage people; he could release it so unknowingly, amazing.

“There seems to be a different cave entrance ahead; could there be treasure there?”

The only cave entrance that appeared in the center of this corridor full of blue text must be different from other caves.

“Xiao Qi, don’t say anything; I want to see what surprises it can give me.” Xiao Xin told Qi Jing this sentence specifically before reaching the cave entrance.

Qi Jing nodded:

“I won’t say anything, absolutely not.”

How could someone as good as him spoil other people’s fun?

But at the same time, as a cautious person, Qi Jing still needed to sense what was inside.

What if it was a bomb that would explode as soon as the door was opened?

Let me take a look.

In the room filled with blue text, a gorilla-like corpse lay quietly in the recess in the very center of the room. Many strange objects were placed beside it, and underneath it was a rectangular board made of azure crystals. It seemed that there was nothing else.

All the objects inside were covered in that blue text, even its corpse was densely covered in it.

No, how could this corpse be preserved so well? A height of three and a half meters, arms two meters long, and scales on the skin that would trigger trypophobia in people who saw them.

The tightly furrowed brows seemed as if it had just fallen asleep.
