Chapter 1536 Black House
The Black House is the most special building in the Fifth District of the Academic City. It is built on a protruding corner and is surrounded by cliffs on three sides. On the side facing the city, there is an isolation zone of nearly 100 meters without any buildings.
, and there are no obstacles that can block the view. Two elite centurions of city guards are stationed here, closely monitoring the only entrance to the black house.
The shape of the black house is like a square. Apart from one entrance and exit, there are no other openings on the walls of the house. Anyone who wants to enter through this entrance and exit needs to go through three inspections, even the deans inside and outside the school city.
People with the status of Queen Theresa and the Duke of Belmont are no exception.
It is precisely because the appearance, construction location and strict inspection of the black house are so eye-catching that even the cleaners who clean the house in the academic city know that there must be huge secrets hidden in the black house.
There are different opinions on the question of what the secret is.
Leaving aside the funny speculations about the underpants storage spot of the deans of the academic city in the past, there are two most recognized ones among all the speculations. One is that a god is trapped in the black room, and the other is almost like a god hidden in the black room.
A corpse of a god.
The reason for this speculation is entirely because the strange scenes that have occurred in the black house in the past few years are like pieces of evidence, guiding everyone who sees or hears relevant rumors to speculate on the gods.
For example, one night, the black house suddenly emitted a strong light that turned the entire academic city into daylight, and even the book town at the foot of the mountain was illuminated. The light shot straight into the sky, and people watching from a distance could even see it.
There is a giant figure standing tall in the light. Judging from various situations, it seems that this giant wants to break away from the shackles of the black house, but in the end, it is not known whether the giant's power is too weak or the black house's power is too strong. In short, the giant
Still couldn't escape from the dark room, and as the light weakened, he was bound to the dark room again.
For another example, one day during the day, the black house suddenly turned into a devourer of light. Everyone could see with the naked eye that the light around the black house was distorted and swallowed, and the black hole that swallowed the light continued to expand, eventually destroying the entire house.
The City of Academics swallowed up the restricted area, and all the people deep inside could feel that time had stopped, and their eyes seemed to be blind, unable to see or hear anything. It was not until the swallowing black hole suddenly disappeared that everything returned to normal in an instant.
Miraculous things like this happen several times almost every year. Scholars and students who have been in the academic city all year round have long been accustomed to it. They know very well that as long as they don't move when things happen, nothing will happen.
any danger.
The appearance of this kind of scene is enough for any rational person to make what he thinks is the most daring guess, so there are two most popular and recognized guesses: imprisoning the gods and storing the corpses of the gods.
Not only the scholars and students of the Academic City are curious about what secrets are in the black house, but also other outside forces, such as the True God Church. They initially dismissed such rumors, but as they saw such strange things,
More and more people are seeing strange phenomena, and they gradually believe that there are amazing mysterious items stored in the black house.
However, due to the poor relationship with the Kingdom of Theresa and the City of Academics, the True God Church could not directly send church personnel to verify the rumors, but they still secretly sent many spies to lurk in Book Town, and even infiltrated into the City of Academics.
In the city, most of these spies also saw the strange sights and phenomena in the rumors.
When those strange scenes and visions appeared, without exception, their hearts were filled with emotions such as shock, fear, fear, etc. The black realm reminded them of the dead world that appeared when the gods died mentioned in some church classics, and that was
When the light-bound giant appeared, several spies who were not church believers seemed to have seen a miracle, and their inner beliefs became extremely devout, and they directly became fanatical believers.
After hearing the report from the church spies, the True God Church no longer doubted the authenticity of the rumors. The only question that troubled them was which god was imprisoned in the black room and which god's body was stored.
The church and other forces interested in the secrets of the black house use various methods to find out the secrets, such as contacting city scholars who can enter and exit the black house, tempting them with money, or directly using supernatural powers such as magic to search their memories, but these
The scholars of the city are very important people. They have basically never left the fifth city in their lives, and they are surrounded by elite protectors of the city guards throughout their lives. No force has been able to come into contact with these scholars of the city.
In addition, some people try to climb directly onto the cliff, from the foot of the mountain to the corner of the cliff where the black house is located at the top, and then try to cut through the outer wall from other sides to enter the black house.
Things like climbing cliffs and cutting through outer walls silently may not be possible for ordinary people, but for those with extraordinary strength, it is not difficult, but these people are climbing without exception.
During the process, or after climbing to the top of the mountain, he jumped down inexplicably and fell to his death.
Because of this, no one else knows the secret of the Black Room except those who can enter the Black Room. The lifelong wish of many scholars in the academic city is not to do anything in some academic research.
As a result, he entered the black room.
It is precisely because the Black House is so special in the Academic City that the fact that Leo and Sylvia were qualified to enter the Black House was confirmed at the management meeting, and it immediately spread throughout the academic city, and even
Leo and Sylvia also learned about this from rumors.
Leo and Sylvia's qualifications to enter the Black Room did not go beyond the expectations of scholars and students in the city. Leo has conquered everyone in the school with his extensive knowledge and wisdom for more than a month. Sylvia
Although Ya is not as dazzling as Leo, she has also shown unparalleled talents in the subjects she is involved in. Because of her female identity, she has received the support of all the women in the school, and there are vague signs of becoming its leader.
It would be a surprise if such two outstanding people did not obtain the qualification to enter the Black Room. However, everyone in the school was still shocked that the two of them obtained the qualification so quickly, because the past records
Among them, the person who qualified to enter the Black Room in the shortest time took sixteen years. Even if Leo and Sylvia were so outstanding, others felt that it would take eight or nine years for them to obtain this qualification, but now they go
It only took a month and a half, which made them shocked and couldn't help but wonder what was so special about Leo and Sylvia that allowed the school city management to make such a shocking decision.
Later, under the prying of some nefarious people, the people of the school city discovered that Queen Theresa and Duke Belmont had secretly come to the school city, and met with Leo and his wife on the same day they arrived at the school city.
And Lady Sylvia and Queen Theresa look exactly the same.
When these inquiring news came out, many people showed a look of surprise. Apparently they all believed that Leo and Sylvia's qualifications to enter the black house should be related to the intervention of the Theresa royal family and the Belmont family.
, and also speculated that Leo and Sylvia were members of Theresa's royal family, and even boldly speculated that Sylvia may be Queen Theresa's twin sister, and also has the qualifications to become the queen, etc.
For a time, Leo and Sylvia once again became the main topic of discussion in the entire school city, but this time Leo became a supporting role in the topic, while Sylvia was the center of the discussion.
As the two parties involved, neither of them paid attention to the various rumors in the school city at the moment. They all focused on the black house.
During the routine identity review process, the entire review process was shortened to one day because of the guarantees obtained from the deans inside and outside the school city, Queen Theresa and the Duke of Belmont.
After the review was passed, an old scholar walked out of the black room. He held an object that looked like a metal stick, and then pressed the end of the stick on the backs of Leo and Sylvia's hands.
Sylvia's control over her body has reached the extreme. When one end of the short stick pressed on the back of her hand, she immediately felt something sticking to the back of her hand, but the thing was very subtle, so subtle that she couldn't see it clearly.
Degree.
"Don't worry, this is an identification chip." Leo saw Sylvia frowning and guessed what she was thinking, so he explained.
At this moment, the old scholar did not leave. He also heard Leo's words and showed a surprised look. Obviously he did not expect that Leo knew so much about the relics of prehistoric civilization in his hands, which also made him feel for Leo.
They are extremely curious and look forward to Leo joining their research to bring them some new breakthroughs.
After passing the identity review and attaching the identification chip, the next three inspections are just a process. However, even if it is a process, the rigor of the inspection has not been reduced much, especially the female city guard's close contact with Sylvia.
The inspection gave Sylvia the urge to destroy everything in front of her.
Fortunately, the three inspections ended quickly, and even though Sylvia felt unhappy, she was still able to control her emotions well.
"Even Her Majesty the Queen also undergoes such an inspection." Seeing Sylvia's displeasure, Dean Thomas, who underwent the same inspection, quickly explained: "There is nothing that can be done about it, after all, he covets the dark house.
There are so many people there that there was once a church spy who used magic to change his appearance and body shape, pretending to be the dean of the school, trying to sneak in."
"No need to explain, I can understand." Sylvia signaled to Dean Thomas that there was no need to continue explaining.
After that, Dean Thomas became the guide and led the two people through the isolation zone to the only entrance of the black house.
When they came to the entrance, a dark corridor automatically appeared in the middle of the door of the dark house.
Dean Thomas told the two of them not to worry, and walked directly into the corridor, and the two of them followed.
The moment she entered the corridor, Sylvia only felt that her body seemed to be pulled by some force, and she could move forward without taking a step. However, this feeling soon disappeared, along with the corridor.
In the darkness, almost instantly, an empty and huge warehouse-style indoor space appeared in front of them. The entire space, whether it was the floor, walls or ceiling, exuded soft light, illuminating everything in the space.
At this time, Sylvia's attention has been attracted by the metal cube suspended in the middle of this warehouse-style space. If this cube was just suspended in the air, it would not attract her special attention. It really attracted her attention.
The reason why she couldn't take her eyes away was that the moment she saw the cube, the concept of perfection immediately emerged in her mind. She had never seen an object with such a simple and perfect shape, and this extreme perfection made her
She had the illusion that she was facing a god, and she couldn't help feeling awe in her heart.
Sylvia's performance was completely within the expectations of the scholars in the black room. The metal cube in front of them was so perfect. It was so perfect that even if they had seen it for so many years and come into contact with it every day, they would still be inadvertently confused.
He is completely attracted by the cube, not to mention other people who see the cube for the first time. Even strong-willed people like Queen Theresa and the Duke of Belmont cannot escape the law of attraction.
However, Leo's performance made these people feel surprised and confused, because after Leo entered the black room, he only glanced at the cube, and then immediately shifted his attention to other parts of the room, such as the prehistoric civilizations neatly placed on the ground.
Relics, such as research and testing tools made by project participants themselves, etc.
Leo's performance is so unique that these researchers are thinking about it. Many people speculate that maybe Leo has seen this perfect cube before, maybe he has come into contact with it more frequently than them, and he even knows about this perfect cube.
The cube contains so much mystery that this perfect cube no longer has any appeal to him.
Driven by doubts in his heart, a middle-aged scholar suddenly asked: "Excuse me, have you come into contact with this perfect cube before?"
Although the middle-aged scholar's voice was not loud, the empty space inside the black room amplified it to the point where everyone could hear it clearly, including Sylvia and Queen Teresa who had just withdrawn their attention from the cube.
Everyone's eyes, including Duke Belmont's, were unanimously focused on Leo.
"Yes, I have seen it." Leo did not deny it, nodded and said.
"Do you know what this is?" the middle-aged scholar asked urgently.
For a moment, everyone in the room stopped breathing, and the eyes focused on Leo became intense.
