It seems that the old man is crazy.

Not even remotely crazy.

"You old madman...how many years has passed since 2012..."

Chen Jing couldn't help but sigh, and when he looked at the grave that he had dug open on the ground, he felt helpless to the extreme.

"Did you trick me back just to cosplay the Mayans and make prophecies..."

"I didn't lie to you."

The old man in the video seemed to have heard Chen Jing's words, with a hint of anxiety in his cold eyes.

"Before returning to China... yes! It was in 1972! That year, I and my colleagues were hired by the Wood Private Consortium to go on an expedition to Antarctica. This is what was recorded on the ancient tablet I found in Antarctica!"

1972?

Chen Jing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because he remembered that his grandma said that the old man was once a top student who studied abroad. After returning from the other side of the ocean in 1973, he only met her because of an accident...

Before 1973, the old man had been living on the other side of the ocean.

He seems to be an archeology professor at a certain university.

As for which university it was, grandma didn't say it clearly, and the old man himself couldn't say it...but it was undeniable that Chen Jing had never believed these words before.

He really couldn't imagine it.

An old man living in a village on the border of Sichuan and Guizhou once worked as a university professor on the other side of the ocean... Is this possible?

"No one knew the existence of that stone tablet except me, so I secretly brought it back. It seemed to have a kind of magic power that kept bewitching me, making me keep deciphering the contents on it..."

"I was eroded by the content above..."

Suddenly, two voices sounded in the video.

One is grandpa's.

The other one also belongs to grandpa.

Chen Jing originally thought this was a problem with the video recording. It was normal for old cameras to freeze, but the grandfather in the video had already started beating the desk hysterically.

"Shut up!"

"Being eroded...I...everyone...will die..."

The old man in the video was pulling the white hair on his head tightly, and for the first time, his stiff and cold face showed an expression other than expressionless.

That's pain.

"I don't have much time!"

The old man stared at the camera hysterically, the whites of his yellow and turbid eyes covered with bloodshot eyes. That crazy look in his eyes made Chen Jing shudder.

"I've finished deciphering that stone tablet! So I woke up! I'm not crazy anymore! I know I've been sorry to you and your grandma all these years!"

"So I want to save you! I have to save you!"

If the old man's words and deeds before were considered crazy in Chen Jing's eyes, then these words at this moment made Chen Jing suddenly feel something.

Maybe he is telling the truth?

Could it be that he has been hiding in the study like a madman all these years, not caring about this family, and never shed tears even when his grandma died... is it because he has been crazy before?

"Listen carefully to the next words! I can say as much as I can!"

"Every civilization that develops to a certain stage will be pulled into a biological leap test. If you fail the test, the traces of the existence of the civilization will be erased. This is how the last civilization on earth perished, so..."

At this moment, the video began to shake violently.

Like a TV picture where the signal is affected.

A large screen of snowflakes appeared.

Even the old man's voice became intermittent, mixed with harsh and boring electrical noise.

"The machine is about to collapse [*signal noise] - it's hot [*signal noise] - I know it's [*signal noise] interfering - [*signal noise] they are targeting me -"

"The iron box is for [*signal noise] - take things away - bury the box back [*signal noise] - otherwise [*signal noise] will find you -"

"We reached an agreement - I finally helped you get the [*Signal Noise] qualification - to buy some time to deal with the end of the [*Signal Noise] -"

"[*Signal noise]——[*Signal noise]——"

Along with the lengthy current noise, the old man's image and voice have completely disappeared from the display screen, and the picture has been distorted into stroboscopic lines and snowflakes.

"What the hell is going on..." Cold sweat covered Chen Jing's forehead.

Although he didn't know what the old man meant by these words, and he couldn't even believe that the "doomsday theory" was true, the old man's paranoid and crazy performance really scared him.

But at this moment, the screen flickered violently for a few times, and suddenly returned to normal without any warning.

The image of the old man is extremely clear, even too clear for this old machine...

It's as real as looking in a mirror.

Different from the crazy appearance before, the old man in the picture is very calm, with a smile on his face.

To be honest, Chen Jing is really a little scared now.

Because he has never seen the old man smile.

The old man even has a sullen face in some old photos full of memories.

"I'll take you there now."

"Where are you taking me?"

Chen Jing asked subconsciously, and then couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, feeling that he was stupid for talking to the video.

But the next second, he knew that he was not stupid.

"Go where you belong,"

The old man in the video seemed to be able to see Chen Jing and hear what he said. After giving his answer, the old man raised his hand and reached for the camera.

At this moment, Chen Jing was still immersed in the question "Is it a coincidence or is it haunted?" When he reacted, a pair of pale and withered hands had already stretched out from the display screen...

After those pale hands experienced a violent deformation from thin to thick, they grabbed Chen Jing's neck before he was so frightened that he threw away the camera.

Then jerk it towards the display screen.

In an instant.

Chen Jing disappeared.

The camera fell to the mud for a moment, and the display screen flashed twice and then went out.

At that moment the screen went black.

An old sigh came from the camera's speaker.

It's a pity that Chen Jing never had the chance to hear it again.

"Jingjing...don't blame me..."
