Chapter 122 Excavation

"There are records of escape attempts..."

This is a vast expanse of debris and sand. A crown-of-thorns starfish, more than ten meters in size, is using its tentacles to dig through the sand like a real starfish.

It had dug to the very bottom, and after removing all the gravel, what Lin saw was a white ground covered with a lot of words.

Observing these texts...Lin learned some new information.

The builders have experimented with jump points.

It is generally believed that there are no jumping points in the Abandoned Land, so it is difficult for creatures to leave here.

After careful investigation by the builder, it discovered several 'death jump points'.

These jump points are jump points that have been 'dead' for a long time.

If a jump point is not used by any creature for a long period of time, it will slowly lose its function or even disappear completely.

Too little organisms used over a long period of time also seem to enter this state.

If it really disappears completely, it cannot be found again, but it can still be saved during the period between losing its function and disappearing.

When a jump point gradually loses its function, it will become increasingly difficult for organisms to perceive it. Usually organisms cannot detect this jump point, so this jump point is also called a death jump point.

Because their fate is usually to slowly 'die' and it is difficult to restore them to use.

But there are ways for builders to detect them.

It can even restore the function of these jumping points, which the builders wanted to use to leave the abandoned land.

Although it successfully discovered these jump points and began to use them, it found that the jump points here were very strange.

Their jumping range is very small and they can only jump in abandoned areas.

The farthest one seems to be only able to reach more than 300 kilometers, while the others are only a few kilometers or more than ten kilometers.

Later, the builders tried to add some longer jump passages to it, but all failed.

So that's how it is. It seems that Abu and Jianyun triggered this kind of death jump point and jumped to this location.

As for where they are now, Lin has no idea.

Because when Lin dug here, she also found Abu's transmitter, but Abu himself was not here.

Lin thought it might have run away somewhere by itself.

From this information, it can be seen that Abu may have been affected by suggestive signals or something like that.

Because what Lin can see here... the information about the jump point is just the small part mentioned above, and the rest is... about the hint signal.

It is mentioned here that this kind of suggestive signal...of course, was also created by the builders, who were studying this kind of signal at the time.

After detecting many species in the abandoned land, it slowly invented a signal that could directly penetrate into the minds of different species.

Such signals can alter the behavior of organisms without them even noticing.

Lin discovered it and wrote a lot about different signals here.

In fact, these signals are a way of sending information, which is to transmit by influencing dream energy.

It’s just that this transmission method is somewhat special. It has developed signals that can actually invade their thinking based on the different ways of thinking of different organisms.

This kind of signal can be roughly divided into several types. One is to summon creatures to the Hanging City. This signal mainly affects those...semi-conscious creatures.

Because they have weak consciousness, it is quite easy to suggest them.

There is also a second signal that affects creatures with stronger consciousness. Its function is to speed up the weakening of their consciousness, and then they will be affected by the first signal and go to the Hanging City.

And the third signal...is specifically designed to affect the 'abandoned'.

Creatures such as abandoned ones are not suitable for hanging, so there is a drive-off signal for them.

This keeps them away from cities.

There is a fourth signal.

This is a special mysterious signal.

It is said that this is a signal that is activated only at the 'summoning moment', and its specific function is to summon a large number of creatures to gather in a certain place.

But there is no explanation here what the call time is for.

It seems that Abu and Jianyun were affected by the signal of this summoning moment.

However, Abu is an alien creature and should not have been studied by the builders. Why would he be affected by the signal?

And it is also a creature with the core of the body's thinking... It itself said that this kind of creature will not be disturbed by thinking.

In short, Lin felt that she had to find it back to find out.

Next, Lin continued to dig up more sand and took a look. The following words did not mention the signal but talked about other things.

Lin felt that the information here was intermittent, and one thing did not follow another.

But this is the only way to understand it for now.

Here's something about the builders themselves.

It mentioned something about the builder… dying.

After the builder had almost completed its task at the Hanging City, it decided to leave the place.

Just as it was about to leave, it suddenly gave up the idea.

To be precise, part of its body gave up.

This is because the builder's body was originally more than one thousand kilometers in size, and this one thousand kilometers is only a small half of it.

Most of its body left, and the remaining small half fell to this place.

This fall...seemed to have directly crushed quite a few of the abandoned people who were active here.

However, some of them survived because the builder's body was not very complete and had many holes and cracks in the middle.

This part of the body had not moved much since the fall, so it was slowly buried by the wind and sand.

In fact, all the records that Lin saw were written by it, as if it wanted other creatures to understand it on purpose.

And the remaining part of the body did not live for long.

It was in a state of slow disappearance, its consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred, and it was slowly dying.

It records the final death here.

However, this is not its memory, but a diary it wrote itself...so it is not written in great detail.

It seemed like it had encountered something...miraculous that made it decide to keep this part of its body.

And this part of the body is willing to die slowly here.

Next, it’s time to describe other places.

It does mention the 'outcasts'.

Those of them that survived originally decided to move away from this place... the farther the better.

But later, due to some mysterious influence, they did not leave, but decided to protect the builders.

They decided that the builder's body should be completely forgotten, and everything left behind should disappear completely.
