After re-entering the underground ruins, everyone was more careful.

After Captain Jace arranged the defense, he immediately decided to organize people with remaining strength to explore the ruins. As the strongest psychic swordsman in the entire expedition team, Lin Youde naturally joined the expedition team with Captain Jace.

Bozi and others were left in the camp. Lin Youde left Noah in the camp to protect Bozi and their safety. Bozi opposed this, but never twisted Lin Youde.

The process of going deep into the ruins is simpler than imagined, probably because most of the nanozombies were killed in the melee just now. While guarding the enemy, Lin Youde was always observing various murals in the ruins. The civilization of building the ruins was not of high mathematical level, and did not master the composition techniques of perspective and golden division. All murals were 100% graphic, but this civilization still had certain talents in graphic design.

The murals have a simple beauty, which reminds Lin Youde Le from modern decorative paintings.

Through decorative paintings, Lin Youde constantly pieced together what happened in this ruins and even in this civilization.

After walking for a while, Lin Youde composed some "puzzle": the builder of this ruins originally planned to build a large altar for sacrifice, but the altar may also have astronomical functions. During the construction process, many slaves died and these were pressed down. Then one day, an earthquake suddenly occurred, and half of the altar was destroyed. The builder of the ruins naturally believed that this was the wrath of the gods, so he decided to sacrifice to calm the wrath of the gods.

"The sinking giant pit in front is the pit for the life sacrifice." Lin Youde said to the girls in the spiritual connection.

"So cruel." Freya muttered. She was crossing time and space to borrow Lin Youde's eyes and looking at the large pit that was illuminated by fluorescent light.

"We humans have also done similar things," said Lin Youde. "Probably every civilization has done it during its enlightenment period, and the Elalays should have done similar things."

"Maybe there, but we all forgot about it in the past, hey~" Freya bought a cute one in the spiritual connection.

The expedition team advanced along the edge of the sacrificial pit, and soon Lin Youde saw the new mural.

The mural shows that after a life sacrifice to many people, the earthquake occurred again. Lin Youde estimated that this was the aftershock of the previous earthquake. But people in ancient times didn't care about these things at all. They obviously thought that people had not killed enough, so they prepared to build a larger living pit. When digging the pit, they dug up the real ruins underground.

"So that's it, so the real supercivilization remains are even further down." Lily said thoughtfully, "Let me see the scanned image provided by Jace... well... no, the image they gave is not marked deeper."

Lin Youde had long found the real ruins in the lower layer through Noah. The thing Jace said that keeps the nanomechanicals in the ruins active is in the lower layer.

Originally, the ruins were buried deep underground, and Jace was not a professional planetary exploration. It is very likely that his spacecraft's scanner is not sensitive enough, so he can only see the blurry outline of the artificial building complex. The map was completed when he came down to explore later. Considering the pitiful coverage of the portable scanning device and the enemies everywhere in the ruins, Captain Jace probably didn't know that there was something under the ruins, and it was not necessarily that he deliberately deceived everyone.

Lin Youde began to think about whether to find an opportunity to "get apart" with Captain Jace and eat alone, or find a way to guide the expedition into the ruins below?

From the perspective of profitability, of course, the former is better, but the risk of identity leakage will increase exponentially, while the latter

At this time, Lin Youde found the third mural on the wall, so he turned his attention to the study of the murals. Maybe there are some clues hidden in these murals. What if you need to solve the puzzle if you want to go deeper underground, right?

The third mural describes the scene after the discovery of the "miracle". In order to thank God for the gift, the clergy of this ancient civilization first killed a bunch of people.

"Are they reducing the population in this way to maintain a balance between food production and population?" Lily said half-jokingly in the spiritual link.

But the Life Sacrifice was stopped by something I don’t know. Lin Youde probably was a guardian robot with artificial intelligence in the ruins of super civilization, but obviously these uncivilized guys regarded that as a god.

To be honest, let ancient humans see things that can sparkle in golden light and burn people, and ancient humans must also treat them as gods, even if they may be just an ordinary infantry robot in ancient civilizations.

However, it is obvious that the thing that the ancient civilization here encountered was of a higher level. It will guide the ancients to build their own civilization. From the murals, it guided the construction of the entire city. In the murals, the painter used a golden city to refer to his own city, which is likely to be the realm of the ruins that Lin Youde and others are exploring now.

In order to praise the great achievements of this "God", the civilized people built huge stone statues to commemorate their God.

When Lin Youde studied the murals to this part, the stone statue suddenly became clear, and the stone statue stood in the huge hole in front of him. The style of the stone statue was very consistent with the super-civilized aesthetic that Lin Youde was familiar with. The people or things it commemorated were undoubtedly from the hand of super-civilized.

The hall where the stone statue is located has multiple roads that expand to the surrounding area called tunnels, which should be more suitable.

"Strange," Lin Youde heard someone muttering from the aliens, "This place should have been a square in ancient times, right? Why is there such a big hole here after being buried underground?"

Lin Youde did not have this doubt. He pointed to the edge of the tunnel entrance where they came in and said, "Look, this edge is very flat, not like it is formed naturally. The road we just walked just now has only one side and the top of it, like an ancient stone building, and the remaining wall is flat soil. These tunnels were dug by man-made."

"So before us, someone had already taken the lead in this place?" asked someone among the outlaws, and his disappointment could not be concealed.

Lin Youde did not answer. He swept the entire square with his perception and found something on the ground. He picked the thing out between two large stone floor tiles.

"What is that?" Captain Jace asked in place of all the aliens.

"It looks like a machine part, one side is seriously worn, and I think the worn texture is a wear caused by the excavation of the formation."

"Sure enough, someone here took the lead?"

"No," Lin Youde pretended to take out a small instrument and scanned the part. "This thing is much older than this ruin. This is the part of the mechanical left by the super civilization. I guess the super civilization machinery has been managing the ruins. After the ruins were buried due to the movement of the crust, they re-excavated the original squares and avenues, turning the ruins buried underground into the current dungeon."

"It seems that it is a very correct decision to let you join." Captain Jace patted Lin Youde's shoulder and reached out to grab the parts and looked at them.

Lin Youde ignored him and walked towards the statue of the god in the middle of the square.

As Lin Youde expected, there were murals extending to the base, but this time the mural looked quite twisted, and the painter should have painted the mural in a very urgent state. Lin Youde speculated that this was not the "original" mural of the stone statue, but someone painted it to record what happened after what happened.

The content of the mural is not obscure. The ancient civilization here took something out of the miracle. The thing gave a guy a description of the mural. It was the power of the storm and the fire. However, the guy decided to let everyone in the city get this power, so he used that thing on many people, and the disaster happened. People turned into terrifying beasts and gnawed each other.

Lin Youde speculated that the correct way of expressing the content of this paragraph was as follows: a person who might be a senior priest opened the container of nanomechanics. He unexpectedly adapted to nanomechanics, so he decided to let all priests and all nobles accept the gifts of God. As a result, most people were turned into zombies by nanomechanics. Under their greed* domination, zombies began to attack ordinary people and spread nanomechanics.

After sorting out, Lin Youde continued to look down: At this time, God appeared and began to purify the out-of-control "evil ghosts". All those who were not affected knelt down and thanked God for their gifts. But God suddenly stopped acting, so the evil ghosts who had not been purified killed everyone, leaving only a few hiding people trembling.

At this time, God suddenly moved again and protected the last survivor, but for some reason, God did not purify the evil spirits again.

The murals come to an abrupt end here.

Lin Youde looked at the mural and fell into deep thought.

Lily asked in confusion: "Why did God suddenly stop acting?"

"I'm thinking about this question, too."

Xia Yongzhi put forward her own opinions on the other end of the distant Milky Way: "The system is overheated and forced shutdown?"

"It's possible." Lin Youde nodded, "No matter what..."

"What did you see?" Captain Jace's voice suddenly penetrated into Lin Youde's ears. "You humans have a lot of nodding, one of which is what you think of. So what do these murals say?"

"It's about the process of destruction here." Lin Youde turned his eyes to Jace, "The super-civilized guards you met here are actually quite kind according to the description in the mural. So, have you taken the initiative to attack them?"

Captain Jace was silent for a few seconds before replying: "My principle is to take a shot at something uncertain first."

"This principle obviously does not apply at all times."
