Chapter 33

On August 24, 1945, the day before the Japanese Emperor announced the surrender to the world, twelve secret telegrams were sent to General Okamura Yasuji, the then Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Expeditionary Forces in China. One of the intercepted telegrams was about Unit 931.

"So mysterious?" Qin Yu looked at Mo Yongxin with doubt. He was surprised that she knew such a thing, indicating that the Mo family was even more powerful than he had imagined.

"Yes, after Japan withdrew its troops, the government intended to thoroughly investigate this mysterious unit. However, due to certain historical reasons, it was delayed for more than three years. By the time they got back to it, the mysterious unit had vanished without a trace, leaving no clues behind."

Qin Yu held the iron plaque in his hand, listening to Mo Yongxin's words, and thought to himself: Why would this mysterious unit appear deep in Copper Cymbal Mountain? What were they here for?

"Qin Yu, do you think they came for the Dragon Crystal Liquid?" Mo Yongxin suggested.

"It's possible, but the likelihood is low. From the massive altar in front of us to the Yellow Spring River, there must be something in this cave that we don't know about."

Qin Yu had a bold guess in his mind, but it wasn't the right time to say it. If his guess was correct, he would see that thing soon.

"Come and look, there are patterns on this stone pillar!" Mo Yongxin called Qin Yu over. The nine stone pillars were all carved with patterns. The first pillar depicted a group of people, naked from the waist up and wearing grass or fur around their waists, fighting a fierce monster. The monster's bloody mouth was biting into several human bodies.

The second pillar showed a different scene: the monster was rampaging, and countless people lay in pools of blood. The survivors huddled together, kneeling on the ground as if in prayer...

On the third pillar, a halo appeared in the sky, and a giant beast with countless legs appeared above the crowd. The people on the ground cheered, and the giant beast rushed to the monster, engaging in battle.

The fourth pillar showed the giant beast stepping on the monster, the sky stained red with blood. The people all knelt on the ground, worshiping the giant beast. Some even carried offerings and placed them before the giant beast for it to enjoy.

Seeing this, Qin Yu and Mo Yongxin exchanged glances, their faces filled with surprise. The giant beast in the pictures was clearly an enlarged version of the millipede. Both of them thought of this at the same time, which explained why there were so many millipedes in the cave. This altar was clearly built to worship the millipedes.

"I've never heard of a tribe that worships millipedes. From what I remember, only some ethnic minorities in Miaojiang worship certain insects as totems."

Qin Yu moved to the fifth stone pillar. This pillar was not carved with patterns but with text. Fortunately, he was a Chinese literature major and could recognize most of the characters. The ancient text had no punctuation, making it difficult to parse.

After much effort, Qin Yu finally understood the text. However, the content made his pupils dilate, and he muttered to himself, "The Entropy Clan, this tribe is actually the Entropy Clan."

"Entropy Clan? Qin Yu, what does this text say?" Mo Yongxin, noticing Qin Yu's reaction, asked curiously.

"This is a clan name record. It roughly introduces the tribe called Entropy, which originated in ancient times and has lived in Copper Cymbal Mountain for generations, worshipping the Thousand-legged God." Qin Yu translated the text on the stone pillar for Mo Yongxin.

The text itself wasn't what made Qin Yu react so strongly. What truly shocked him was the name of the tribe: Entropy. In the Zhuge Inner Canon, there was a chapter on supernatural abilities, which mentioned a power: spatial teleportation.

Spatial teleportation allows a person to instantly move to any desired location,不受空间地域的限制。在这一能力的介绍下方有一行注解：熵族，一个神秘的古老种族，不与外界交流，其族人通过特殊的仪式可觉醒空间传送天赋。

"这熵族有这种天赋？"

当秦宇告诉莫咏欣熵族的天赋时，莫咏欣的朱唇张得老大，满脸的不可置信。空间传送，这也太离谱了吧。

"我想我明白这931部队到这里的目的了，应该是为了熵族的特殊仪式而来的。"秦宇笃定地说道："只是他们没想到这里还会有这么多的千足虫，也不知道他们是全部覆灭在这里了，还是有人逃出去了。"

"有这种特殊的仪式也没用啊，不是说这是熵族的天赋吗，哪怕给他们得到了，恐怕没有熵族的血脉也无法开启吧。"

"这就不知道了，也许他们掌握了熵族的后代也说不定，或者只要这种仪式就能开启天赋也说不定，毕竟这特殊仪式只在熵族内部试验过，对于其他人也不一定就是无用。"

秦宇的想法也不是没有道理，空间传送这种神通哪怕有一丝获取的希望，日本人都不会放弃的，这是一个充满了野心的民族。

"我想应该不可能全军覆没的，任何军队在执行任务的时候总会保留一些生力军的，尤其是这种执行特殊任务的部队，难道从那之后他们就没有在派人进来过？"

秦宇打量四周几眼，神情带着几许凝重，突然嘴唇凑到了莫咏欣的耳垂边上，轻声问："莫小姐，你对贺师傅这个人怎么看，了解多少。"

莫咏欣被秦宇的突然动作搞得漂亮脸蛋上飞起一朵红晕，尤其是秦宇的气息离她那么近，这么多年来，从来没有一个异性能靠近她的身边，还凑到她的耳边说话，这么亲密的动作让她的眉宇间流露出一股娇羞。

"莫小姐？"秦宇见莫咏欣没有回答，又轻声问了一句。

"啊！我认识贺师傅也差不多有一年多了，当初一位风水师给我提起龙晶液的时候，贺师傅就在一边，而那位风水师年纪又比较大了，所以我才会得到消息后请贺师傅陪同我一起来铜钹山。"莫咏欣回答道。

"贺师傅对你莫家应该挺了解的吧，还有这龙晶液的消息最早是怎么得到的，能否详细说一下。"

"贺师傅是那位告诉我龙晶液的风水师的朋友，对莫家不怎么了解，我们之间也就是这三个月之内的交集才多了起来，至于龙晶液的消息是通过高价在某些渠道上收到的。"

"那就没错了！"秦宇轻微的点点头，自语道。

"什么没错，你是不是知道了什么，这贺师傅怎么了？你怀疑贺师傅？"莫咏欣的反应也很快，从秦宇的话中就抓住了重点。

"只是有一个想法，是不是还不好说，咱们还是继续看看吧。"秦宇没有就这个话题说下去，而是朝着前面的一道石柱走去。

两人谁也没有注意到，在某个角落里，一道黑影潜伏在那，目光死死的盯着两人的一举一动。

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"贺师傅，现在该怎么办，这该死的机关怎么又打不开了，我姐和秦宇掉下去也不知道怎么样了。"

"莫少，别急，这机关是时间型的，我估计可能需要一段时间才能触发一次，再等等吧。要是把这暗槽给毁掉就再也打不开了。"贺平在一旁劝阻道。

"等，等，都等了一个多小时了，还是没用，这地方这么邪门，这下面鬼知道有没有危险，就我姐和秦宇两个人要是遇上了危险怎么办。"莫咏星朝着身边的保镖吩咐："去通知上面的人，带上挖土的工具，多下来几个人，机关打不开，我就不信还挖不通。"

"等等，我来试试看再说。"贺平见保镖转身就要走，忙喊道，同时一手按在了暗槽上，小心地旋转着。

"吱呀！"一声清脆的发条声传出，贺平和莫咏星同时一喜，两人的脚底不远处出现一个洞口，正是先前秦宇和莫咏欣掉下去的地方。

"贺师傅，真有你的。"莫咏星一拍贺平的肩膀，笑道。

Spatial teleportation allows a person to instantly move to any desired location,不受空间地域的限制。In the description of this ability, there was a note: Entropy Clan, a mysterious ancient race that does not interact with the outside world, whose members can awaken the spatial teleportation ability through a special ritual.

"Do the Entropy Clan have this ability?"

When Qin Yu told Mo Yongxin about the Entropy Clan's ability, her lips parted wide in disbelief. Spatial teleportation, that was too outrageous.

"I think I understand the purpose of Unit 931 coming here. They must have come for the special ritual of the Entropy Clan." Qin Yu said firmly. "But they didn't expect there to be so many millipedes here. I wonder if they were all wiped out or if some managed to escape."

"Even if they have this special ritual, it's useless. Isn't this the ability of the Entropy Clan? Even if they obtained it, they probably couldn't activate it without the bloodline of the Entropy Clan."

"That's not certain. Perhaps they have descendants of the Entropy Clan, or maybe the ritual alone is enough to activate the ability. After all, this special ritual has only been tested within the Entropy Clan, and it might not be useless for others."

Qin Yu's reasoning wasn't without merit. The Japanese would not give up on the slightest chance of obtaining spatial teleportation, a nation filled with ambition.

"I don't think they were all wiped out. Any army on a mission would keep some reserves, especially a special task force. Haven't they sent more people in since then?"

Qin Yu glanced around, his expression serious. He then leaned close to Mo Yongxin's ear and whispered, "Miss Mo, what do you think of Master He? How much do you know about him?"

Mo Yongxin's beautiful face flushed as Qin Yu's breath was so close to her. For years, no man had ever been this close to her, let alone whisper in her ear. This intimate gesture made her blush.

"Miss Mo?" Qin Yu saw that Mo Yongxin hadn't answered and asked again softly.

"Ah! I've known Master He for about a year. When a feng shui master mentioned the Dragon Crystal Liquid to me, Master He was there. The feng shui master was quite old, so I asked Master He to accompany me to Copper Cymbal Mountain after I received the information." Mo Yongxin replied.

"Master He should be quite familiar with your family, Mo. How did you first hear about the Dragon Crystal Liquid? Can you give me more details?"

"Master He is a friend of the feng shui master who told me about the Dragon Crystal Liquid. He doesn't know much about the Mo family. We only started interacting more in the past three months. The information about the Dragon Crystal Liquid was obtained through certain channels for a high price."

"That's it then!" Qin Yu nodded slightly, muttering to himself.

"What do you mean, 'that's it'? Do you know something? What about Master He? Do you suspect him?" Mo Yongxin quickly caught the key point from Qin Yu's words.

"Just a thought, it's not certain yet. Let's continue looking."

Neither of them noticed that in a corner, a shadow was lurking, its eyes fixed on their every move.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Master He, what do we do now? This damn mechanism won't open again. I don't know what happened to my sister and Qin Yu after they fell down."

"Master Mo, don't panic. This mechanism is time-based. I think it needs some time to reset. Let's wait a bit longer. If we destroy the hidden slot, it won't open again." He Ping advised.

"Wait, wait, we've been waiting for over an hour, and it's still no use. This place is so strange. Who knows what dangers lie below? What if my sister and Qin Yu encounter something dangerous?"

"Wait, I'll try again." He Ping saw the bodyguard about to leave and quickly called out, placing his hand on the hidden slot and carefully turning it.

"Click!" A crisp spring sound echoed, and He Ping and Mo Yongxin both rejoiced. A hole appeared near their feet, the same one where Qin Yu and Mo Yongxin had fallen.

"Master He, you're amazing." Mo Yongxin patted He Ping's shoulder, smiling.
