Spring in Nuojin is very short.
In other words, in this city of steel, which lacks green plants, in the middle and outer areas of the upper city, you can't feel the breath of spring at all, especially in those slum areas where factories are densely packed.
The gloomy sky, the dark smoke, and the pale-faced workers had to face the heavy fog to go to the factory in a hurry to make a living, day after day.
Lin Jie felt that there would probably be no guests today.
He looked at the empty bookstore. Although he was used to being lonely, he was still comfortable when he was used to the liveliness of Morn and Joseph.
Fortunately, Joseph just went out to give some warmth to the refugees and the community, and will be back in a while...
He's always been like this lately, mysteriously like Batman, and seems to have something to do.
Lin Jie guessed that it had something to do with Melissa, so he didn't interfere.
Now there is only myself left in this room... No, there is Xiao Hei to be exact.
Lin Jie recalled that yesterday, those dark tentacles that seemed to be smooth to the touch stretched out from behind him, trapping the witch of life firmly.
Hmm... Lin Jie touched his chin, although the shape of tentacles is already a tradition as a symbol of evil monsters, but the little black body is obviously a shapeable humanoid shadow, why he chose to change into the shape of tentacles is really worth investigating.
And the subject is a beautiful woman with a good body and appearance—if you ignore the inhuman qualities of the flame.
So... Xiao Hei is actually an lsp
Lin Jie sat on the counter alone, thinking, and then suddenly thought of something, and took out a notebook from the drawer of the cabinet.
There are familiar patterns on the notebook, and it can be clearly seen that this notebook is from the same place as the last one.
It is the Shendu Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology.
This notebook fell from Maria.
And unlike the previous one, this notebook doesn't seem to have been corroded and stained too much, and it looks fairly complete.
After Lin Jie got it, he didn't read it for the first time, because he was a little uneasy in his heart. The notebook that he intuitively told himself might be able to reveal the questions he had always been puzzled by, but it would also allow him to face some things.
He hesitated for a long time, took a deep breath, and opened the notebook.
A line of powerful and extremely familiar handwriting firmly caught his gaze.

"The results of the exploration have already come out. If there is no problem, the lower part should be as I guessed, a lost ancient country. Just writing these words makes me feel faintly excited."
"But Professor Chen, who is in charge of the exploration, said that there may be a strange magnetic field that has never been discovered before, which may have unknown effects on humans, and it may take some more research to continue."
"But, someone has to go down, right? And this is the relic we discovered first. What's the point of asking others to preempt our efforts for so many years? Professor Chen is indeed a good friend of mine for many years, just as I thought. He also didn't want the fruits of his years of labor to be divided by others, we hit it off and decided to formally set up a project as soon as possible to conduct excavations, and the magnetic field data will be temporarily sealed."
"Caiyong thinks that I have been worrying too much recently, and the psychological burden is too great. Maybe the dose of medicine needs to be increased. I persuade her not to worry. After so many years, what can be wrong? I know my mental state. These few days Instead, it was a lot more exciting.”
"However, she's always like this, and I don't think it's bad. I like to see her worrying about me. Her eyes are full of me, which is great."
Lin Jie looked at the words Caiyong and opened his eyes slightly.
This is his mother's name - Zhang Caiyong.
As he guessed, this archaeological team was the one that his father participated in the last archaeological project that year!
In other words, the owner of this notebook is his father Lin Minghai.

"I kind of underestimated the magnetic influence of this region."
"Wang Qi is my student, he has hysteria, maybe it's too much pressure, or something else, but the magnetic field cannot be exposed, otherwise the project will stop and everything will be in vain... I let Caiyong conclude with hysteria. , took him to the hospital."
"I'm very sad... But scientific research is something that archaeologists have to do. In other words, who will go to hell if I don't go to hell?"
"I have made everything clear to the team members. If members don't want to go, they can quit immediately."
"But they are very good. They are all my good students and good colleagues. None of them want to quit. Everyone is full of curiosity and even urged me to continue. These are the sparks of human beings. It is precisely because of this curiosity. Only human beings can solve the puzzle time and time again and push us forward.”
"Caiyong suggested that there must be a channel for venting, otherwise the pressure of long-term high-intensity work will increase, and more people will have problems with their mental state."
"So I ask everyone to start writing diaries now, to record research results, and to vent their thoughts at the same time. Even if we die one day, this note will let others know about our efforts, even if we leave something for future generations. OK."

"Old Chen said that the geological conditions ahead are no longer suitable for exploration, but he doesn't want to give up and needs to study the method of entry."
"His expression is very excited, but his eyes don't seem to focus, which makes me very uneasy... But maybe it's my delusion, he talked to me, and I did realize his vision, my goal. It is also the same, I decided to suppress my doubts and use my reputation to ensure the smoothness of the excavation."
"Also, Caiyong is very uncomfortable. I keep vomiting before I eat breakfast. I'm a little worried."
…
March 28, sunny.
"Old Chen's exploration team has opened up the road ahead, everyone is very happy, everyone's faces are bright again, full of hope, I am very pleased, and so are my students."
"Going forward, moving forward, I have a hunch that it must be an extremely important discovery."
(It is covered with blood and cannot be seen clearly)
…
March 29, sunny.
"We dug a 'door'. At this time, I had a bit of an ominous premonition. I wanted to turn back and ask Caiyong to go back, but she advised me to continue to persevere, saying that I should not give up halfway, the one who is desperate for ideals The talent is Lin Minghai."
"She looked at me with only me in her eyes, and this kind of look, I couldn't refuse, I love her."
"Exploration continues."
…
March 30, rain.
"We came in, but the door was closed forever, and I was amazed and shocked by what I saw, a form of architecture that we had never seen before, shabby and filthy, but grander than anything we had ever seen... maybe It’s a bit exaggerated to say that, but even Qin Shihuang’s mausoleum is not even half as good as it.”
"It doesn't seem like something humans could build at all."
"Old Chen, the prospector, was even more shocked than I was. He immediately asked the students to inspect the building, but the students came back and said that there was not a single load-bearing column here. Old Chen was crazy, and even picked up a shovel and smashed one of my students in the forehead."
"It's so chaotic... It's so strange... Everyone was trying to persuade them to fight, but it turned into an atrocity, and Lao Chen was beaten to death."
"No one can see who it is, but someone pulled out Lao Chen's tongue."
"We didn't have the energy to investigate, and we didn't have the energy to bury Lao Chen's body. His open mouth was empty and his eyes were wide."
"In the evening, I thought to myself that maybe his eyes would also reflect the murderer's appearance, leaving the appearance of that person, so I leaned over to take a look."
"Ha, of course it's impossible, he's already dead, and only my appearance is reflected in his eyes."
…
April 1, rain.
"We slept in that underground building last night. When I opened my eyes, I saw Caiyong sitting next to me, and when I woke up, her first words were—
"'Lin Minghai, I'm pregnant.'".
"All the unhappiness these days have been cleaned up in an instant. I think I have never been so happy. We have been married for two years and finally have a new life integrated into our family."
"No wonder Caiyong has been vomiting and uncomfortable before, so it is, so it is."
"But Caiyong said that the door has been closed, maybe we will be trapped here forever. It's very romantic to live in the same quilt and die in the same cave."
"Impossible! I kissed her forehead and comforted her by saying, don't be so pessimistic, keep moving forward, there will be an exit."
"Caiyong nodded and said that he would always believe me, I touched her belly, her belly was round and bulging, it looked like she was almost five or six months old, and when she put her hand on it, she could even feel the child's heartbeat."
"However, our supplies are running out, and the dry food and rainwater are about to become moldy. If this continues, it will be a dead end."
"Fortunately, Lao Chen suddenly said that he has extra dry food to divide. Now our team is running out of people, and these dry food are just enough."
"It's really a no-brainer."
