In the surveillance footage, several doctors were inputting some commands inside the elevator. Through my unique vision, I could see that their bodies contained a viral program with a sequence that differed slightly from ours. They were experimental subjects implanted by the military, as Kong Yang mentioned, and there must be quite a few of them in the hospital, waiting for an activation signal.
What was more troublesome was that I pointed at the monitor; it seemed they had mastered another method of activation. In the footage, one of them took out a strangely shaped coin and inserted it into an inconspicuous gap below the elevator button. This action triggered a memory.
Wait, I flipped through the materials I had brought from Changling Village. Do you remember those old objects we found in the basement? Miho quickly opened her tablet and pulled up the list of items. Among a pile of seemingly ordinary medical instruments, one item caught my attention: a brass coin labeled as an emergency access token.
It looked exactly the same, I said, but the one we found appeared to be older. If we compared their ages...
Year and year, Zhou Jing interjected, which means there’s a difference of year. This number led us to a crucial clue: in our previous interpretations of the runes, this number kept appearing. According to the information transmitted by the viral program, it seemed related to a cycle from an ancient civilization.
They were mimicking that cycle, I realized suddenly; they changed the access key every year. This meant that currently it was year, and it had been years since year, Jiang Zhendong added, so the coin they had was the latest generation.
While we were talking, the elevator had already begun to descend. The numbers on the display became strange: ...,
Through decoding via the viral program, I realized these decimals were actually some sort of coordinates. I closed my eyes and let the program analyze these numbers. Soon, a pattern emerged: if these numbers were viewed as coordinates in three-dimensional space, they would form a spiral trajectory.
This isn’t just an ordinary elevator path, Kong Yang said; it’s some kind of ritual route. It resembles the entrance designs of ancient temples.
Moreover, each coordinate point corresponds to an energy node, I pointed at the diagram. Look at this distribution; doesn’t it resemble a double helix structure! Miho exclaimed excitedly; they are simulating the unwinding process with elevator movement!
Suddenly, my viral program issued a warning: this unwinding is not merely symbolic. During the elevator's movement, it actually activates some mechanism within the underground structure.
We must get ahead of them, I said; otherwise, once the accelerator is activated...
But we can’t take the same route, Kong Yang interrupted; they must have set up defensive mechanisms in that elevator.
At that moment, I noticed a detail on the diagram: in the design of the ventilation system, there was a pipe with an unusually complex route.
At its turning points on my diagram, if viewed using similar coordinate systems...
It’s also a spiral! Zhou Jing said excitedly; and it’s exactly opposite to the elevator's trajectory.
The dual helix of yin and yang, I understand now. This is why the activation sequence was hidden within the blueprints. It not only reveals the path but also suggests an alternative possibility through a reverse unwinding method.
But the ventilation duct is so narrow—
No, I interrupted Jiang Zhendong. "Look at the hospital's fire safety diagram. The diameter of this duct is marked in centimeters—it's unusually large. And," I pointed to a specific location, "there's a maintenance entrance right in the storage room of the inpatient department."
The group exchanged glances and immediately sprang into action. Time was running out; those doctors would soon reach their destination. More critically, I felt the viral program within me becoming increasingly active, as if responding to some underground force's call.
This would be a race against time, a puzzle to solve, with the cost of failure potentially leading to disaster for the entire world.
