After confirming that the weapons on their bodies were of no use, the four of them returned to the stairwell and shone down with the flashlight through the window.
When I found that there were still two floors below, I saw the open space in front of the building, which is also the place where everyone saw someone jumping from the space-time compass.
The child who jumped must know the truth at the end, but these are not a problem for those rich people, the big deal is to re-bred another one, anyway, it won't take long.
With final doubts and mental preparations for time-space teleportation, Ji Han and the others came to the second floor.
Unexpectedly, the two floors below are actually connected, the stairs are built in the center of the wall, and the door here is also different from the one above, it is actually a thick bluestone door.
Eggplant scolded:
"This grandson is a door seller, right? Changing doors in different ways."
Ji Han looked at the brighter space-time compass and guessed:
"Maybe the time ring is inside. That time ring can really speed up the flow of time as we imagined. They may be afraid that the metal and wooden doors will be affected."
Ji Han first poked his wrist with the watch in. After all, time is ruthless. Although A-Dong said that they would not be affected by the time ring because they were affected by the divine pillar, it's better to be safe.
After all, no one wants to be called Uncle from Pretty Boy overnight for no reason.
However, the watch in their hands did not show any signs of acceleration, and they entered close to the crack of the door. Under the light of the flashlight, the four found that the place was like a combination of ruins and mines.
There are hardly any traces of decoration around, and it may be that the traces of decoration have been eliminated by the ability of the time ring.
There is no artificial wall on the side of the canyon opposite to the window, but only a protruding natural stone wall, as if a huge electric drill is about to come out of the mountain.
In addition, the ground in front of the "stone drill bit" collapsed into a big hole, only the ground around it was relatively stable. It is not known why the collapse occurred.
With a flashlight, it can barely illuminate the bottom, and it seems that there is still space.
Ji Han threw a lighting stick down, and through the white light, he could see the lower layer.
Right below the collapsed place, you can see the falling gravel and a huge long bluestone slab, which seems to have fallen from above.
And there are several iron cages and iron beds around the fallen stone slab, which looks more like a prison cell. I don't know if there is a deeper basement below.
Afraid of another collapse, the four of them carefully entered the stone room against the wall.
After figuring out the general situation here, Ji Han began to approach the "stone drill bit" protruding from the wall where the time ring might be placed.
Chapter 783 Steven Rockefeller
The four of them leaned against the wall and came to the innermost side, touching the cold stone wall, Chen Ke guessed:
"This should be formed naturally. They didn't destroy the mountain wall, but stuck one side of the building to it."
Coming to the front of the "stone drill bit", Ji Han found that there was a circular groove on the top of the spit out stone.
"That's right, the time ring should have been placed here before, and this should be where they used the time ring."
The reason why there are no decorations and furniture around is because those things have no meaning in the face of the loss of time.
Song Qian asked towards the big hole that collapsed in the center:
"Could the time ring have fallen along with the collapse?"
Although there is no bright jade ring below, but after all, there are so many gravels, it is possible to be covered under it.
As soon as Chen Ke heard it, he released the drone towards the collapsed place in a timely manner.
I saw that the bottom was also rough without any decoration. The metal door on the side and the iron cages and iron frame beds stacked next to it had been severely corroded. Looking at the other utensils around, this place seemed to be a prison cell.
There are quite a few corpses of medical staff and guards lying around, but from this perspective, the fate of these guards is more miserable, because most of their accidents are fragmented, and they seem to be killed by some kind of force.
Even the bones were exposed under the rubble.
Ji Han puzzled and said:
"What the hell did they encounter at that time? The bloody gang was wiped out. Could it be that the monsters from the other world attacked?"
Chen Ke explained:
"Since they can set up a facility to block space transmission here, and it has been running smoothly here for such a long time, then they should be able to deal with the monsters in the other world."
Eggplant asked:
"What should I do next? Jump down and continue searching?"
Ji Han looked at the time-space compass in his hand, but found that the light at this time was a little dimmer than when he just took it off.
"No, the location doesn't seem right. Although the time ring was once placed here, the place we want to teleport doesn't seem to be here. It was the same when we were in the small town of Bled. What the time ring indicated was only time teleportation. The place where the time ring is located."
Speaking of Ji Han, he returned to the doorway again, and the time ring really looked brighter than before.
According to this change, the teleportation place should be outside the building.
Chen Ke smashed the window and cut off the barbed wire on it, and the four of them jumped out of the building.
When I came to the open space in front of the building, there was still a barbed wire fence around the open space. I don't know if it was to prevent the monsters from outside from entering or to prevent the children inside from going out.
On the west side of the open space, there is a row of low houses with vertical chimneys that make people dare not continue to think about it.
At this time, Ji Han and the others, who already knew the truth, turned around and looked at the tall building behind them, feeling an inexplicable depression.
Fortunately, the space-time compass in their hands became brighter and brighter, indicating that the four of them had found the right direction. According to the guidance, they came to a corner of the open space and found that the barbed wire here had been artificially made a big hole.
Ji Hanxin said he would go out again, right?
But as soon as he bent down and got out of the hole in the barbed wire, the space-time compass in his hand began to rotate.
Seeing this, the three of Song Qian also leaned over, and Chen Ke asked:
"Do you want to talk to the people above first?"
"I'm afraid it's too late, and the sooner we complete the task, the safer it will be for them."
As soon as the words fell, the four of them disappeared together with the white light.
And the destination of this white light, the Death Valley building more than ten years ago, is now brightly lit.
The heavy rain and thunder outside the building did not seem to affect the harmony inside the building.
Steven Rockefeller, the builder of this building, was standing at the window of the reception room, looking at the pouring rain outside, recalling the rainy night when he saw the news.
At that time, I was at home and accidentally saw a strange piece of news: the explorer had an accident when he came to Death Valley, California, for rock climbing. When he was rescued, he was miraculously aged by dozens of years.
At the beginning, I also felt that it was the wanton compilation of those unscrupulous media. It wasn't until the hospital he invested in told himself that they really accepted the patient that Steven really felt that this matter was unusual.
After relying on his own privileges to go to the hospital and inquire about the situation with the explorer in detail, Steven took his cronies to Death Valley, California.
However, in the real world, many people have gone there admiringly, but they have not found anything.
Only Steven, who knows about the existence of the other world because he has funded alien organizations many times, thought of another possibility:
There is something in the other world, and by chance, it affects the time change in the real world.
Sure enough, after taking his cronies to the other world, Steven's conjecture was confirmed. On a protruding rock at the bottom of the canyon, there was actually a ring-shaped jade inlaid.
And that thing actually has the ability to speed up time, and I watched helplessly as a subordinate who tried to pick off the jade became much older after a flash of white light.
If it is time to go back in time to restore youth, then it is really a blessing from God, but the acceleration of time does not have any direct effect on a rich man whose physical condition is getting worse and worse.
But Steven did not give up easily, after all, this is also a powerful ability to change time.
So Steven immediately asked his subordinates to build a few simple houses nearby, first surrounded the protruding stones, and conducted a simple study on them.
Finally found a specific way to speed up time, but still can't reverse time, and can't get the time ring out of the stone.
Just when Steven was thinking hard about how to use this powerful force, a piece of news spread from his wealthy circle:
"An old rich man died of a failed organ transplant."
Hmph, how can an organ purchased at a high price on the black market be successfully transplanted? It may be provided by a mental hospital, and no one can guarantee the health and matching of the organs.
Although the whole idea just passed by in a flash, Steven still thought of the stone in front of him.
Maybe try it, a factory that provides safe organs to keep them alive?When I funded those foreign organizations, didn't I just think that maybe I could rely on their abilities to realize the dream of longevity?
In the end, they are also unreliable, and now the opportunity is in front of them, so now they can only change their organs, but with the development of medical treatment, there must be a day when they can change their bodies. Before that, as long as the body can survive until then, it will be fine !
Chapter 784 What happened in California
Steven has never had the idea of carrying on the family line, so he has been alone so far.
Because everything he owns is earned by himself, and he doesn't want to pass it on to anyone, and he doesn't want to share it with anyone. If possible, he only hopes that this carefree life can continue forever.
And now he finally has the chance, he really knows the people in the same circle as him too well.
They may be more afraid of death than themselves, and most of them are the failure of some bodily function.
So when he told these people that he could provide them with a steady supply of organ replacements, almost everyone was interested.
Especially those rich people who are already physically unable to hold on, but haven't found a suitable organ.
In order to prove that what he said was true, Steven immediately found a surrogate woman after obtaining the sperm preserved in advance by the rich man.
With the acceleration of that strange stone, the time of pregnancy and childbirth is greatly accelerated.
Although it is definitely difficult for the surrogate to bear the dystocia in the end, but who cares?It is the child that is wanted.
After the second time acceleration, the child's organs also matured rapidly.
In order to ensure that the things here will not be spread, Steven hired a doctor from the black market at a high price.
The operation and the result were perfect, and the rich man's body began to gradually improve.
As a result, Steven "became famous" in this small circle.
He hardly paid for the construction of the entire building.
It's not just the support of the rich, even those high-level officials gave the green light all the way.
It might sound bloody to say that it was your child who provided your organ.
But if I say that I can save your body that is on the verge of collapse and renew its life as long as I provide your sperm, I am afraid that no one will refuse.
The building was completed, and the rich and needy in the small circle flocked from all over the world.
However, in order to ensure safety, Steven still made some choices among them. After all, once the things here are exposed, it will be a matter that will last forever.
Those old people are buying healthy organs that can extend their lives, while some rich people are just in case, ordering healthy organs in advance.
Anyway, for them, just submitting a sum of money and coming over for regular physical examinations, for the continuation of life and health insurance, these contributions are simply not worth mentioning.
In order to make the whole system run more perfectly, Steven also began to improve his private domain.
All kinds of facilities to prevent space transmission are arranged around to ensure that this place will not be discovered by anyone.
By bribing and serving those high-level officials in California, let them sell this land to themselves, and through the relationship accumulated by their alien organization, prevent this place from being investigated again.
In addition to the doctors in the black market, he also hired a mercenary team, on the one hand to prevent any monster attacks in the other world, and on the other hand to be careful of other forces coveting his property.
Because he had time to prepare, Steven was not going to let those children grow up quickly, and then push them directly to the operating table.
From the previous surgery, it can be seen that although this fast-growing body is healthy, its strength is still somewhat weak.
So Steven decided to simply keep them, and take them to grow quickly when needed, and then push them on the operating table like livestock.
He even came up with the lie that "you are the illegitimate children of rich parents, and you will be picked up when the time comes".
On the one hand, of course, it is for the convenience of management, so that these children can wait here obediently; on the other hand, it is to satisfy their perverted psychology.
They even provide them with the best catering and accommodation, after all, these are their own cash cows.
As a person who looks down on the low-level animal characteristics of biological reproduction from the bottom of his heart, his greatest pleasure is nothing more than watching those children who are eager for love and expecting their parents to pick them up, finally lying on the operating table in horror.
Although no one else could understand it, this magic-like deception gave him great pleasure.
Looking at the cage that the mercenary pulled back from the heavy rain at this moment, Steven remembered that he was still alone.
It's ridiculous to think about it. Not long after I organized this matter, my heart also had problems.
Because there are stocks anyway, Steven is not in a hurry for surgery, and a strong heart needs exercise, so fortunately, Steven asked the mercenary to pull his child out to do various high-intensity training.
Make sure that the last thing you transplant to yourself is a strong and powerful heart.
But that kid is really powerful, and he discovered the truth here by relying on his own observations in daily training. Fortunately, the mercenaries found out and locked him up early, otherwise, if other kids knew about it, it would be more troublesome to manage.
From then on, the mercenaries could only lock the child in the dungeon, let the child do some activities with the shackles every day to enhance the vitality of the heart, and occasionally took him out to get some air when it was dark.
Hey, that kid really looks like me, but it's just a product after all.
Just as Steven was recalling these past events, a mercenary pushed in the door.
