Chapter 691: Opportunity for Promotion
The opportunity for promotion means the possibility of further progress.
As the true ancestor, Edwin is immortal, his life is almost eternal, but his power has never set foot in the gods, at best he is only a demigod, in the words of Yuan Lu Zhi, it is to shape his life and shape his own destiny. Only when you reach the level of a god can you control your own destiny and the destiny of others.
Edwin's fate is on Accardo, and Kaneki, who went to the world of promotion opportunity with him, is looking for his own promotion opportunity in this strange world at this moment.
It took less than half a day for Kaneki to figure out where he was now and the general situation of the world in which he lived, to be honest, it was an ordinary, ordinary world, with the same history and development as the earth, in the era of rapid development of science and technology in the 21st century.
So, in such an ordinary world, will there really be 'people, worlds, and things' that can make you promoted?
In Stockholm, Sweden, enjoying the exotic scenery of Northern Europe, Kaneki couldn't be happy, you know, he didn't come to travel.
But the reality is so, since you come to this world, it naturally has its reason, maybe that thing is hiding somewhere in this world, waiting for yourself to find it?
Shaking his head, which was a little dazed by thinking, Kaneki planned to find a place to relax first, and then continue to search for useful news, maybe he could see some useful news in the newspaper or on TV.
I entered an ordinary fast-food restaurant, ordered something at random, found a place to sit, and while eating, I flipped through the newspaper and looked up at the TV hanging above the hall from time to time.
Very boring, very ordinary news, nothing more than society, entertainment, economy, sports, state affairs, etc.
Sighing, he put the newspaper down, took his coffee and took a sip on it, and just as he was about to get up to leave, an urgent news item on the TV suddenly stopped him from leaving.
"Now for a special news, there is a landslide near the Scandinavian Mountains, and the recent heavy rains do not rule out the possibility of mudslides, so please pay close attention to those who plan to travel to the region..."
As the host announced, the current state of Scandinavia was also shown with those footage captured by drones.
It didn't look like an ordinary natural disaster, but the sharp-eyed Kaneki still saw something unusual in it.
Scandinavia, as the oldest mountain range in Northern Europe, is prone to landslides, heavy rains, or crustal movements, but these are a type of natural disasters.
However, looking at the degree of damage to the mountain, it is not like a natural disaster, but like...
Kaneki frowned, as if there had been some kind of battle, or some kind of sabotage.
If this is the case, then it means that this world is by no means as ordinary as it seems, and it is very likely that there is a hidden inner world that ordinary people do not know, after all, it is like aliens, and governments try their best to hide the fact that they have appeared on Earth, in order not to cause panic, because no one knows whether the aliens have come to Earth with good intentions or malice.
Therefore, the supernatural phenomenon has always been a strict thing that ordinary people cannot ask for, and it is hidden by various governments.
Kaneki was thinking for a moment, and he felt that he needed to go to Scandinavia, because he was looking for the answers in his heart there.
It has to be said that with the news broadcast, the number of people traveling to Scandinavia has plummeted, after all, no one is like encountering a mudslide on the way to travel, and then turning this trip into their last trip. Life is more important than enjoyment.
It is only a person like Kaneki who has no fear to ignore these life-threatening things and stop.
When he reached the location of the landslide in the middle of the mountain range, it had already been cordoned off by a police cordon, and no one was allowed to enter, and it was guarded not far away by people dressed in black who looked like agents.
Seeing this scene, Kaneki's eyes couldn't help narrowing, it didn't seem that he was the only one who noticed the abnormality, but yes, there is no shortage of smart people in this world, let alone the existence of a country with a few IQs?
It seems that the Swedish authorities have also discovered the anomaly, so they specially sealed this place, and then sent people to explore and study it, hoping to find out the cause of the landslide.
So, is it necessary to give up on the current situation? If he sneaks in and is discovered, then he will inevitably be arrested, and if he is not good enough to be regarded as the culprit who caused the landslide, then it will be a lot of fun, he is not ready to be the enemy of a country, even if he has this world to escape, but he is afraid of endless trouble after this.
However, if you don't go in, you won't be able to find out the cause of the landslide, and your doubts will not be answered.
Thinking of this, Kaneki also let go of the doubts in his heart, and he decided to enter the location of the incident and investigate what happened there.
Perhaps it was the beauty of the sky, and it was raining lightly at first, but it turned into a downpour in an instant, which undoubtedly helped Kaneki cover up his whereabouts and not be discovered by the guards guarding the mountain.
After passing through the layers of guards, all the way to the position near the top of the mountain, Kaneki finally came to the original place of the incident, and here, tents have already been erected one after another, and even through the tents, you can see the instruments placed in them, and there are naturally many guards in this area.
Carefully observing, thinking about how to sneak into the camp to check the useful information, Kaneki's eyes inadvertently swept to a hollow near the interior of the mountain, which looked a bit like a cave, and the surrounding area was very smooth, as if it had been pierced by a sharp and smooth artifact, but he knew that it was impossible, after all, the hole was at least ten meters, if it was a weapon, how big would it be?
Compared to the camp, the entrance to the cave was not well guarded, and there were no patrols around except for two fixed ones, which was undoubtedly an opportunity for Kaneki.
There was almost no hesitation, but seeing Kaneki leap forward, the whole person soared into the air, and Katsuko turned into wings and spread silently, maintaining an angle that the guards could not see, until she landed above the entrance of the cave.
Since the guards weren't tall enough to see the top of their heads, Kaneki entered them with little hindrance.
There are no expected instruments, there is not even half a figure in it, there have been traces of excavation, it seems that it is necessary to collect samples or something, there are some glowing rocks on the cave wall, there are no plants in it, it looks very ordinary, but it is unexpectedly deep inside, it seems to be a little deep.
It was as if Kaneki had thought, as if a weapon had pierced through the entire mountain range, and a hole appeared leading to the deepest part of the mountain range.
Instead of being unhurried, Kaneki kept moving at a high speed, and he wanted to see how deep the hole really was.
About half a minute passed, and according to his calculations, he had traveled at least more than 30,000 meters, and what is the concept of 50,000 meters? Converted to kilometers, it is fifty, which is almost half a city.
And are the mountains so deep? Apparently not, in other words, the position where Kaneki is now in is already underground.
Of course, there is also the possibility that he is no longer on Earth, or that he is in another dimension.
The idea is amazing, incredible, and you can cross it by entering a cave? It's a little too ridiculous.
Maybe it was a certain speed, so there was a slight deviation in the space, or maybe it was a mistake.
All in all, when Kaneki stopped, what appeared in front of him was a hole with a white halo.
The dazzling white light made it difficult to see the scenery outside the cave, but Kaneki knew that it would be shocking.
Slow down, slowly towards the entrance of the cave, when the dazzling white light dissipated, the scene that appeared in front of his eyes, even Jin Mu, who was already mentally prepared, was stunned.
The shattered palace floated in mid-air, the gray sky, the clouds were thick, and the earth was irregularly shattered, as if it had experienced a terrible battle, not like what human beings could do.
From the fragments of those palaces, you can see how prosperous the civilization here was in the past, although it is impossible to tell what era it belongs to, but floating in the air like this, you can still ignore the gravitational pull of the center of the earth, you can know how simple these materials used to make palaces are.
In the distance, a sphere emitting dazzling white light seemed to be close at hand, as if it was far away in the sky, and the white light seen at the entrance of the cave at that time may have been emitted by it.
Somehow, his intuition told Kaneki that if he wanted to know why all this was happening in front of him, the orb that emitted a dazzling white light might be able to answer his doubts.
So, Kaneki moved, and walked as fast as he could.
However, the expected thing happened, and no matter how much it was chased, the white ball of light that was close at hand was still close at hand, and its existence seemed to be a silent mockery of how stupid the people who wanted to chase it were.
Soon Jin Mu stopped, he was not a person who liked to do useless work, there must be some way to get that white ball of light, there must be some special way.
Observing again, Kaneki found that there were extremely strange words carved on those broken buildings, and he couldn't understand its meaning, and all the known words could not match the number, which was a script that did not exist in the world.
But existence is reasonable, and even if there is no way to interpret it, there may be other possibilities?
Kaneki approached a fragment of the building and reached out to touch the unknown text, which suddenly lit up the moment he touched it.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but the moment he felt the text light up, the distance of the white ball of light seemed to be closer?
With a little tentative thought, Kaneki began to touch the words one by one, some of which lit up, and some of which couldnnot. Some lights up can indeed shorten the distance of the white light ball, while others don't react at all even if they are lit.
After this incident, Kaneki finally figured out the situation, this unknown text is a shortcut to the white ball of light, but the light text must have its unique meaning, otherwise the distance of the white ball of light will not be shortened, in other words, he must find a specific combination among these thousands of words, in order to be able to touch the white ball of light.
If these buildings had not been broken, it might have been easier for Kaneki, but the broken buildings would have increased the difficulty countless times, which was a bit of a needle in a haystack. Because if you want to find a specific combination of thousands of words, you need to try for a long, long time, maybe by the time he finishes cracking it, a hundred years have passed.
Of course, if you're lucky, you might be able to get over it with a few attempts, but this kind of luck will only happen to the children of the world.
Kaneki doesn't believe in his own luck very much, even if he used to be the beloved of a world, but this is not his world, let alone the world he masters and the main world, so if you want to get something, you must follow their rules.
In the current situation, Kaneki could choose to give up and leave, but he knew that it was impossible. First of all, if you don't grasp the opportunity in front of you, I'm afraid that his way back will be blocked because he set foot here.
So, even if you don't answer your questions, if you want to get out of here, you have to decipher these unknown words.
Unlucky? That's of course, as soon as you come up, you will encounter such a situation, and it is very likely that you will be trapped in a strange place for more than a hundred years, and then you will be born I am afraid that the daylily will be cold.
But bad luck also means opportunities, opportunities that can not be found, and perhaps opportunities that countless people crave.
So, Kaneki gritted his teeth and began a long and boring road of interpretation, fortunately he had prepared a lot of food and necessities in the space backpack, otherwise, I am afraid that he would become the only nearly demigod in history to starve to death.
One day, two days... January, February... One year, two years...
I don't know how many years have passed, but if other people are afraid that they have already been tortured and go crazy, repeating one thing mechanically, no one to talk to themselves, enduring the loneliness of a person, enduring the exhaustion from body and mind.
If you can persevere, you will either have a firm mind or perseverance.
There were many times when Kaneki couldn't help but want to give up, but he had no way out, so he had to force himself no matter what.
Even though he doesn't know the meaning of these unknown words, and he can't interpret them, he has formed a special understanding of words, and this understanding also allows him to guide the power of words into his body when he touches them, resulting in some inexplicable changes.
Another advantage is that Kaneki is no longer blind when assembling words, but has a purpose, which undoubtedly saves a lot of time.
Finally, after I don't know if it was three or four years, Kaneki touched the combination of words that had been sealed for a long time, and when these words were all activated, the light turned into an endless chain and headed towards the white ball of light in the distance, bringing it to him little by little, at this moment, he could finally really touch this ball of light.
It's not realistic, some suffer from gains and losses, but in the end they still stretch out the hand of expectation.
The moment the hand made contact with the ball of light, the white light burned into the eyes, first drowning Kaneki's body, and then spreading little by little, until the entire shattered world was submerged...
