The Lost Treasure Map Series (82 page)

At times it
had seemed to detect their thoughts and try to understand what they
were, and detect strange forms of energy or sources from them as
though trying to analyze what they could be!

Chapter 19

The Interdimensional
Scan

Bryson was
amazed to discover from Mortimer that the airplane’s new scanning
technology used interdimensional scanning, which the military had
used at the last castle that they had been at, and he realized why
the thing that had landed the airplane had reacted, as the other
had done at the other castle.

It was
virtually like trying to read its mind to him! Though it was far
more advanced than the technology and combating the problem, and he
wondered what it was up to.

It had not
damaged their equipment and that proved to Bryson and them that it
wanted it to be there.

It surprised
Bryson that main place that they were unable to scan there, which
they were given a glimpse of something existing there, was at the
tunnel below the castle tower that they had found, which had been
on the map that they had found, and that it must be at the bottom
of the castle, far below where the stone steps had collapsed, and
Merton had fallen off and nearly died.

Merton was
obsessed with there, and soon moved some equipment and scientists
into the room there at the bottom of the castle, with tunnel behind
the wall, and eventually persuaded Parker into moving his equipment
there to examine what they could behind the wall.

The scientists
set everything up around room wall and detected a disturbance there
for them to observe, and Bryson arrived with some of his things and
made himself comfortable with being there, and especially away from
the murder scene at the other side of the castle, which had the
scientists there now packed together and coming out with new
methods of filming what was happening there. They had not put any
cameras in their rooms but they had set them up in all the
corridors, and if anyone entered there they would be
recognized!

Yet what
Bryson never forgot was one of the deaths had occurred while most
of them had been at the other side of the castle, and that had
lowered the figure of the suspects.

The real
mystery was why the person had done it, and they could not realize
if it would happen again. The person would have to be mad to carry
anything out there now, and would surely be got eventually.

It surprised
Bryson that the things were connected! The lost treasure, the map,
and the disturbance and what had taken them down there.

It was
incredible as at one point he had considered the thing and the
tunnel to be the most dangerous place there, with the supernatural
disturbances there, and it was there just behind the wall in front
of him, in the tunnel, and which could well be the most powerful
supernatural spot that they had discovered, and it captured Merton
and Mortimer’s imagination and research, and he now felt happy
there with feelings of comfort from being away from the murder
occurrences, which they were annoying him everywhere with the
detection of.

He never had a
way of solving it at the moment, or perhaps at all, and he wondered
if they could examine the minds of all the remaining suspects!

At one point
he had been sure that they had been going to remove all the
suspects and take them all away to interrogate them. Sounds of them
were away in the distance still active in his imagination, as he
watched all the scientists in the room about him doing their work
and he considered what they could achieve there at the most, but
again he had too little facts to assume anything.

He had thought
of getting permission from Merton or Mortimer to have their
scientists inform him of any new discoveries at his room, to give
him any information from the equipment as they found it, but he
decided to hang around there and they would tell him anything
important when it occurred.

He frequently
heard gasps from the scientists there when they considered what
could be behind the wall, and the power of it, with it being able
to do such powerful things and being from beyond the universe! It
reminded him of sitting at a wall with hell or some hideous place
behind it. What was he missing? What were they missing?

He was
starting to think that he would end up believing that anything
could exist anywhere if it had the right means, and he knew the
powers of science could be used to create incredible things.

The situation
was getting better anyway and the castle’s interior was great, but
could be dangerous and he wondered if he was imagining that they
could get out of the place and any future situations alive, and
that the place and supernatural disturbances were playing games
with them and if they either escaped from there or it was ready it
would take action against them! The tension on them for action had
clearly been increasing!

Bryson
suddenly recalled recognizing some of the work that some of the
scientists had done years ago, when he had been examining
documents, and he recalled why he had remembered it all, as it had
to do with them checking for the existence of paranormal for the
military.

Their stuff
was surprising and even more surprising with them working there
with the psychic researchers and he recalled that he had even
originally thought that they had been deliberately putting the
paranormal research title on their project to cover their work and
discoveries, as he had not properly seen anyone even check what
they had claimed they had been doing or had created. He had thought
that they had also been checking alien encounters or the
possibility of an alien encounter having happened!

He had once
questioned them on what they had been doing in more detail and if
they had found anything and they gave him documents that informed
him that they were checking for virtually all known forms of
unknown disturbances worldwide.

He questioned
Mortimer about supernatural disturbances and if they had detected
anything occurring there or elsewhere when the deaths had taken
place and he informed him that they had not been properly able to
detect anything as they never had their paranormal scientists and
equipment there, but had acknowledged many from his experience, and
was sure some existed there in the castle.

He wondered if
they could put something together that could properly detect
anything emerging there in the castle, and they could properly
check the red demon entity that had charged through the walls
there.

They could
know where anything of that nature was located and they could warn
the others! They were not actually protected by anything from it,
and he wondered if there was some reason that it never reacted to
them?

“
Presumable supernatural reactions and any presence will act
on things and produce effects to indicate them being there,” Merton
replied firmly, when he had asked him. “Such as it altering air
currents, gravity, magnetic fields, radioactivity, scent, sound
waves, static, the light spectrum ...”

“
This
scanning equipment of David Parker is highly advanced and more than
anything we’ve encountered!” Bryson replied. “It can scan and check
everything that is about in a degree that has not been done before!
To find out if we are missing something!”

Merton glared
at him for a second and laughed, and he looked as if he was
wondered how much he was exaggerating things, and replied, “What’s
there is capable of stopping it though! It even achieved it at the
airplane miles out over the sea!”

“
I think
it might let us have some more information!” Mortimer finally
replied, considering it. “This is not the same as the last castle
or other situations either! I think we may be able persuade it into
giving us information! It must know we are not a threat! What I
want to know is what it wants and why it is here? Why has it not
left here after such a long length of time? And, very importantly,
why does it do what it does? We might be able to persuade it that
we can help it?”

“
We have
an abundance of things!” Merton continued. “We specialize and
experiment in detecting things! This is the best there is and we
love investigating anything extraordinary! Even if it is or is not
an assassin trying to wipe us out ... And we’d love to help it and
study it if it is on our side!”

Bryson started
to grasp how advanced they were now and how undetectable the thing
really was! And he wanted to see what they were up against!

“
I don’t
believe we would even have found it if it had not wanted to show
itself!” Mortimer added, while clearly trying to encourage the
scientists around him in their work again. “It is pretty well
concealed!”

Bryson was
confused and wondered what they were suggesting, and why they were
so secretive in places? He had always wondered what they had
discovered without him, and was sure that they were covering things
up! Surely they would only really receive fame for such a discovery
if it was proven to exist?

“
We have
found something new!” Bryson continued. “We have not seen anything
like it before! It is unknown and it has intelligence and
power!”

“
An
existence with powers that we have not seen before?” Merton
replied.

“
We know
little about it and if it ever is or was a life form?” Mortimer
continued. “Or what form of life it is or could have been? But we
are sure one of its properties is that it exists through other time
zones, or dimensions of time!”

Both Merton
and Bryson, and other scientists there, including Parker, looked up
simultaneously, and looked at him!

“
What
makes you think its present in other time zones?” Merton asked,
curiously.

“
The
time traveler from the future traced it to Hess’s crash, and told
us that he had traced the
ultimate time traveler of the future and its lost
treasures and ultimate technology of colossal value through
different time zones!”

Bryson was
surprised, and realized that they had forgotten about that, and
that it might actually be from the future and exist through
different time zones. Yet he was unsure, as well as the others,
what that meant! Had the time traveler meant that or had it just
been the way that he talked, with its future language.

Things
normally did exist in different time zones, and he wondered why it
had not been present in time zones going into the future, and for
many thousands of years.

After a few
minutes Mortimer watched them, and replied, “It’s pretty vague! But
I think it is hidden in some hidden region outside time and in most
time zones! I think that it has found a hidden region outside space
and time, and the fourth dimension, where it is not normally
traceable, and that the time travelers of the future detected it
with their time probes, and the time traveler’s time machine
detected it while being outside space and time, at a position where
the time machine must have put itself to detect all the different
time zones together, for it to detect the exact time zone to
reenter.”

“
It
actually exists there outside the time zones?” Merton
asked.

“
And
interdimensional in time zones, making it normally invisible in the
time zones as well as outside the time zones, and for some reason
was visible in the time zones Hess crashed in and we were
in!”

“
It
stopped us detecting it with the interdimensional scanning
technology!” Bryson continued. “And could have avoided being
detected at the time zones! Which leaves one question left, and why
it has hidden itself away from everything for so long?”

“
And why
it wanted us to find it?” Mortimer answered firmly. “It must have
known that the time traveler was not capable of much, and that we
would not have found it without him!”

Chapter 20

The New
Equipment

Bryson was more
confused than ever before! What the hell were they about to make
contact with, and why did it want them?

Why was it so
hidden away and so powerful? Just how dangerous could it
become?

Bryson
realized their point once again and heard them silently confide
that they wished to keep what was happening as confidential as
possible, and wondered what they could actually discover and what
they actually expected.

As they
considered what to say next Bryson examined nearby newly installed
equipment, and recognized that it was for detecting neutrinos and
considered what they used it for, and guessed it was another way of
detecting the undetectable.

Much of it was
new and being checked out further on the airplane, and wondered
what Parker hoped to discover or achieve.

Bryson had
decided to check out their new equipment when he could, even though
he was not sure what most of the stuff on the airplane was for.
What he had seen had been little and could be easily have been
exaggerated by them! They could be keeping the real stuff hidden
away, as it was highly confidential and they were scientists with
an interest in it, especially Merton and Mortimer.

When he
arrived back there later he was surprised to see that the place was
packed with more equipment, which had been in boxes on the
airplane, and even though he never knew what it was he was sure it
was powerful stuff and the latest technology. The place looked
transformed into something new! And he was surprised to see other
scientists had arrived to see what was happening there.
