Chapter 30 Exploration, Conjecture
After getting his feet on the ground, Su Lie went straight to the stone table. The cracked teapot he saw during the day was still oozing tea. Su Lie reached out and picked up the teapot, but it was surprisingly heavy.
Su Lie didn't feel that the weight was heavy, but it was relative to the size of the teapot. It was a small teapot, but it seemed to be filled with a large bucket of water. Moreover, this was the weight of the teapot itself after it had cracked and no one knew how much tea had seeped out.
Faced with such anomalies, Su Lie instantly thought of the word "space".
The weight that violates the volume can only be caused by an abnormality in the space inside the teapot. Thinking of this, Su Lie focused his eyes on the teapot, and his sight penetrated the pattern on the surface to see the internal structure of the teapot, and penetrated the entire teapot along the internal texture.
However, when his sight was about to penetrate the last layer of the inner wall, it was blocked as if covered by a layer of white cloth. No matter how Su Lie concentrated his mind, he could not penetrate this thin barrier.
"Impenetrable? Is it coated with lead?"
Su Lie frowned. Superman's perspective could not see through everything. Lead was an effective blocker. Of course, it did not rule out the possibility that there was a mysterious power inside the teapot that blocked his vision.
By now, Su Lie can basically confirm that this cave is most likely the trace left behind by the appearance of those "missing persons".
After all, this teapot that involves space cannot possibly be a product of modern technology. If the technology to control space appears in reality, let alone what kind of qualitative leap modern civilization will usher in, the most intuitive point is that the housing prices in Daxuan will definitely not be as high as they are now.
Moreover, in the myths and legends of Taoism and Buddhism, there are also sayings such as "Mustard Seed Sumeru" and "Dongtian Paradise". Perhaps the teapot in front of us is a similar existence.
Shaking his head without thinking too much, Su Lie temporarily put the teapot on the table and prepared to continue exploring. The entire cave was not very big. If you carefully calculated it, it was roughly equivalent to a three-bedroom, one-living-room house. Su Lie walked to the side of the stone bed.
This was the only furniture in the entire cave. Unfortunately, there was nothing else on it except a rotten mattress, which made Su Lie a little disappointed. After all, in his original imagination, even the teapot was a mythical instrument similar to the Sumeru mustard seed, and perhaps there would be other things left. But now it seems that he might have guessed the wrong way.
Perhaps this cracked teapot was the result of something happening to the cave owner, who was too surprised to take it away.
If you think about it carefully, this possibility may be greater. After all, according to what Si Tianming said before, from the launch of the satellite to the present, the number of people who have disappeared unnaturally has reached tens of thousands. So there must have been similar missing people in the past. Assuming that the owner of the cave is one of those missing people, the teapot left here can prove that he has returned.
Otherwise, how could such an instrument that clearly contains extraordinary civilization appear on Earth, a technologically ordinary planet with no extraordinary beings?
Since these missing persons once returned with extraordinary items, why can't we find any trace of them now? Unless these missing persons have suffered some major misfortune and can no longer come back, or they have died after leaving for the last time.
Various speculations flashed through Su Lie's mind. Combining his own uniqueness, Su Lie even guessed that those missing people might have traveled through time like him.
However, if they really traveled through time, then the noise was a bit too much, almost like a wholesale operation. But no matter what the reason was, it was a fact that these people did not appear again.
Instead of continuing to explore, Su Lie walked to the stone table and took the teapot in his hand. Today's exploration made him a little emotional. His plan had always been to develop steadily, continue to become stronger, and finally grow to be invincible on Earth and travel through the universe. But such an invincible journey without twists and turns is a bit boring. He even thought about making some changes to Earth after becoming strong enough to see if he could artificially create some extraordinary creatures so that he would not be so bored.
But some of the discoveries today made Su Lie change his mind. The reasons why those missing persons disappeared unnaturally, whether they still have similar extraordinary instruments on Earth, and whether they will appear again in the future. These are what Su Lie is looking forward to.
After taking a last look at the cave, Su Lie jumped into the pool again and left, taking the only valuable thing in the cave.
Ten minutes after Su Lie left, the calm pond began to ripple again. A green carp jumped out of the pond and then fell back into the water, splashing a handful of water.
Without stopping, the black fish swam quickly towards the rocky ground, its eyes wide open with a human-like anxious look. When it finally swam to the shore and saw the tabletop no longer flowing with the droplets that obsessed it, it actually showed an angry look in its eyes.
The fish's mouth kept opening and closing, and its body was thrashing back and forth in the pool, splashing a lot of water. It seemed to be roaring and accusing, but it was a pity that no one saw this scene.
Although the summer vacation is still long, Su Lie would rather stay on the balcony to bask in the sun or explore the extraordinary instruments left behind by the missing people than do anything else.
But Su Lie didn't want to neglect his only two friends, especially one of them was closer to him. So, after adjusting his mental state through meditation, Su Lie took the initiative to find the two.
Needless to say, Lei Hongzhe was always open-minded and heroic, and didn't care about trivial matters at all. It was just that Su Lie encountered a slight setback when he went to find Bai Yuqi.
The girl was obviously a little angry because Su Lie had rejected her invitations several times before. When she saw Su Lie coming to invite her, she was happy in her heart, but she refused like Su Lie did before. This scene made Su Lie taste what it meant to reap what you sow, but he thought he was not a shameless person.
The girl had invited him several times in a row, so Su Lie would not pretend to be noble and walk away after being rejected. So after hitting a wall several times in a row, he finally called Bai Yuqi out.
As for the summer vacation travel plan, Su Lie let Lei Hongzhe and Bai Yuqi decide. Although Qingyuan City is only a second-tier city, there are many scenic spots inside, including several famous mountains.
So, the three of them spent the entire summer visiting all the scenic spots and theme parks in Qingyuan City. Finally, the city itself was no longer enough for them, so they went to visit the neighboring city.
Linshi is not far from Qingyuan City, and the round trip by high-speed rail only takes an hour. With a superman like Su Lie escorting you, there will naturally be no danger on the road.
As a result, the three of them visited all the scenic spots and snack streets in Lin City. Perhaps influenced by the two, Su Lie's mood was also a little high. He stood on the top of the famous mountain in Lin City, looking at the golden sun suspended in the sky that brought him strength, and a long roar came out of his mouth.
The whistling sound pierced through the clouds and reached the highest point in the sky, as if it was going to reach the sun. At this moment, his figure, set against the backdrop of the mountains, stood shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
