Zhuang Ci and her companions didn't know that Lin Chu was not in the same world as them.
In other words, they were originally in the same world, but Lin Chu accidentally arrived at another parallel time and space.
"Be careful. This tomb has not been fully developed yet. There is a lot of poisonous gas underneath."
A group of people walked forward, wrapped tightly in their clothes. Lin Chu was the second one, ready to take out a bottle of fluorescent light from his pocket at any time.
"These words cannot be written down, and photos cannot be taken for the time being, so translation work cannot be done in the short term." Seeing Lin Chu staring at the wall, Yu Huaiyao explained to her.
He was very afraid that if she did something weird, the whole team would be dragged into trouble, so he was extremely careful in his attitude towards her. In the eyes of other people, she looked a little different.
Lin Chu had seen these words before.
In the ancient tomb of Shangxian Village, she saw the same text and the same murals.
She turned her head and looked at Yu Huaiyao.
There is also a Yu Huaiyao here, and there is also a Yu Huaiyao in the Psychic Town.
So... is there a psychic town in this world
Has it mutated to such a horrible degree
After studying the murals, the archaeologists geared up and moved forward again. The road ahead suddenly became congested, like a small cave, narrow, dark and damp. The murals were gone, and the ground was uneven, as if it had not been built.
Lin Chu walked in the middle as usual.
She knew that thing had set its sights on her, and it was eager to make her its believer. The sense of crisis that was constantly rising in her heart made her dare not relax for a moment, and she tightened the backpack straps.
She saw the eye again!
It suddenly appeared above the rock wall and blinked twice at Lin Chu, who was so frightened that goose bumps appeared all over her body. She drew her knife and stabbed it almost the moment she saw it, but her attack missed and the tip of the knife stuck in the soft soil without any effect.
"What's wrong with you?" Yu Huaiyao, who was following behind her, asked, putting his hand on her shoulder.
Lin Chu looked down and saw that the back of that hand was also covered with eyes, blinking at her. She immediately knocked them away without thinking.
When she turned around, she saw that Yu Huaiyao's face was covered with eyes, all of which were looking at her with aggrieved expressions.
"Lin Chu, did you notice anything wrong?" Yu Huaiyao asked her with his head down, his voice gentle.
But all his exposed skin was covered with eyes, and those eyes stared at her coldly, like a poisonous snake, making people shudder.
Lin Chu took out a small glass bottle from his pocket.
The glass bottle was no bigger than an index finger, and it was filled with flowing green fluorescent substance, which looked like it was ready to be stuffed into one of his eyes at any time.
If these things remained in the invisible and intangible state of ghosts or curses, she would have no way to deal with them. But if they were attached to a living creature, it would be easier to deal with them.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?" The person in front turned around and saw that the two were about to fight, so he hurriedly stopped them. Lin Chu took a step back and found that Yu Huaiyao had returned to normal, covering his face with confusion and grievance, wanting to resist but not daring to.
“It’s okay.” Lin Chu took back the bottle, leaving Yu Huaiyao and the others to explain in a gentle voice. The team finally did not cause a commotion and continued to move forward.
The moment Lin Chu turned around, she caught a glimpse of the fleeting cold look on Yu Huaiyao's face.
She stopped, turned sideways, pulled Yu Huaiyao to the front, and walked behind him. After a while, she noticed Yu Huaiyao's gaze again.
The other person was clearly moving forward, but he turned his head to look at her.
"It's strange, this road wasn't so long when we first came here." Before Lin Chu could respond, the leader's voice came from the front.
Yu Huaiyao turned his head back. Lin Chu once again saw an eye from the small part of his neck that was exposed from his collar.
It's definitely not normal.
After walking a little further, it was still a dark cave, and it seemed that the end would never be seen. After arriving at a familiar location, Lin Chu reached out to the top of the cave, but did not touch the mark she had just carved, but her doubts deepened.
"We're always going in circles," she said, expressing her own judgment. "This road is circular. No matter which way we go, there will be no end."
"No way? Maybe this road is too long?" someone in front objected.
"I stuck a knife here before, but no one has seen it yet. Lin Chu, your statement is not true."
Lin Chu's mark also disappeared, but she believed in her intuition and judgment.
This tunnel is circular. If they counted correctly, they had walked four times.
If there were no other problems with the tunnel, then there was another possibility - something was following them and erasing all their marks!
So, let’s take one last lap and try.
If she still can't get out in the last lap, she will have to try other methods.
Lin Chu calmed down, took out a little green fluorescence with cotton cloth, pushed his legs and jumped into the air in the cave, smearing it on the top of the cave. It could not be seen without careful observation.
The others didn't seem to pay any attention to what she was doing, and after she finished, the team moved on.
On the other side, Lu Yanli followed the team into the gate.
Unlike the other excited archaeologists, he saw... the statue again.
It is so huge that it is hard to imagine that such a statue can be placed in the underground tomb. Humans standing in front of it are so small, perhaps like an ant in the palm of a human's hand.
Both sides were lined with majestic, densely packed dark bricks and stones, arranged in strange geometric shapes. Light seeped in from somewhere, allowing him to see the statue in its entirety.
It is laughing.
The hideous and twisted face showed a smile that looked both compassionate and indifferent. Its body was covered with cracks and spots, and it looked like it could break at any time.
It is looking at itself.
It wants to devour itself.
Lu Yanli had this awareness very clearly.
The mark on the chest was removed alive, leaving a large scar, and no new marks were created. But this is no longer necessary.
Its true form has seen itself, and no matter where it goes, it will be watching it.
"Xiao Lu, what are you doing? Standing here stupidly?" Daozi tapped him on the shoulder and asked curiously, "Come and help me."
When I opened my eyes again, everything was gone.
There was only one tomb chamber, with a coffin placed on a high platform and countless funerary objects piled up below. There was no light except for the mining lamps above their heads.
Is it an illusion
Lu Yanli put on his bag and walked forward. Daozi thought he wanted to help, so he walked side by side with him. He was a chatterbox and started to nag: "You said that after you came down, you were a completely different person and you didn't say anything. What did you see? Tell us, we won't eat you."
"It was the same last time. You ran around on your own and caused our entire team to look for you..."
"Where did I go last time I ran around?" Lu Yanli suddenly asked him.
"Ah? Then...how should I know? You wouldn't tell me when I asked you."
"So, when did you find out I was missing? Who was the first to notice? And where did you find me?"
Daozi recalled: "It was in this tomb. Everyone was working. Zhou Qi wanted to find you but you were gone. We went out to look for you for a long time. When we came back and opened the door, we saw you sitting next to the coffin. The lid was almost opened by you."
"After returning, he didn't say a word, and in the middle of the night he started yelling about nightmares, saying someone wanted to kill him."
Thinking of that scene, Daozi couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.
No, no, we have to believe in science.
Lu Yanli thought, that is, the person who disappeared was in this tomb.
I don’t know where “he” went. I have no memory of this. I don’t know if it’s because they are not the same person or if I forgot for some reason.
And, a coffin
Why did “he” open the coffin? Who was lying in the coffin
Lu Yanli walked forward slowly.
Others were carefully observing the funerary objects, collecting fragments bit by bit to take back for research. Others were observing the texts and murals on the surrounding walls.
"I don't recognize the characters at all. Judging from the writing style, it seems to belong to Eastern civilization. But no matter which dynasty it is, it has never existed..."
"I know him." Lu Yanli said.
A single stone caused a thousand waves. Everyone turned their heads to look at Lu Yanli, their eyes full of doubt. The leader, Captain Yang, frowned: "Xiao Lu, what did you say?"
Lu Yanli repeated: "I know these words."
He had already come to the wall, pointed at the words on it, and read them aloud softly.
He recognized that several young men among the archaeological team were the old men who had gone down to the tomb with him during the previous missions.
That time, wasn’t the leading expert who explained the story of the murals Captain Yang
Different worlds are cyclical. The old Captain Yang tells the story to his future self, and he goes back to the past and tells the story to the young Captain Yang.
As the story was told, a group of people followed Lu Yanli and walked forward, their faces gradually becoming serious.
In the end, the words disappeared at the door. His story was over.
At this moment, everyone heard a violent explosion coming from outside the door.
Before they could react, they heard hurried footsteps from outside the door. After a while, the door was pushed open, revealing a crack. The people outside tried hard to squeeze in.
"Lin Chu?"
"Lu Yanli?"
Both people inside and outside the door were shocked.
“Never mind, come in first.” Lin Chu relied on his small stature to squeeze in. “Help me first. I can explain what happened to you. I have other great discoveries!”
The others were also shocked for a moment, and seeing Lu Yanli coming forward to help, they also went forward to push the door.
The strange thing was that when they came in, it was not that difficult to push the door open, but now, the metal door became extremely heavy, and it took several people working together to barely push it open.
"Are you alone?"
Lin Chu finally struggled to squeeze in through the crack in the door, turned around and helped push, "No, Yu Huaiyao is still behind."
"Which Yu Huaiyao?"
"Not the one you saw."
After a while, Yu Huaiyao, who was left behind, also appeared in sight, panting and squeezing into the door. After he entered, Lin Chu said, "Okay, there's no one else, close the door, thank you."
"But..." Yu Huaiyao was about to say something when Lin Chu elbowed him in the stomach. He immediately bent over in pain and shut up.
Just before the door closed, Lu Yanli saw several people infected by green spores stumbling towards this side.
"Is there anyone else outside the door?" Team Yang wondered. "By the way, Xiao Lu, who is this? Do you know him?"
"No." Lu Yanli said.
Lin Chu had already taken off the gas mask on his face, and showed everyone a quiet and well-behaved face: "This is my friend Yu Huaiyao, he is also here for archaeology."
Yu Huaiyao:…
Why does he feel that this group of people has great archaeological value
