"Still no signal?"

"Report to the commander, all signal sources have been destroyed!"

“How’s the GPS positioning?”

“Cannot locate.”

"How badly is the communication device damaged?"

"All communication devices have failed! Trying to reconnect the signal..."

...

Unlike the joyful atmosphere among Lin Yuan and the other two, the garrison outside the Dragon Tomb was in chaos at the moment.

Although they had prepared for the possibility that the eight people who entered would never return, when they actually saw their signals disappear from the positioning, everyone's hearts suddenly skipped a beat. After the panic and worry, they felt an uncontrollable sadness.

The end of the world, a setting that has been overused in film and television works, a future that they had known about several months ago.

Knowing is one thing, but witnessing is another. Especially since the victims are considered to be the most powerful "Huaxia" mercenary group in China.

Even masters who can use magic are so vulnerable when facing doomsday, not to mention the millions of ordinary people in the world.

Is it true that the ending of broken walls and desolate scenery predicted by the "time travelers" is impossible to prevent?

"Dear two dragons... Sirs, can you please let us in as well?" Colonel Tan, who was desperate, had already started to communicate with the two dragons on the door: "We will not run around, we just want to find our companions who are lost in the ruins. Once we find them, we will leave your place immediately and will not disturb you!"

But no matter how hard Colonel Tan tried, the two dragons on the door seemed to have lost their lives and there was no movement at all.

"Colonel, why are these two dragons not responding?" the adjutant asked worriedly, "Have they run out of energy?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Look at their scales. They are clearly slightly undulating!"

A group of top experts gathered at the gate, arguing about why the two dragons, which had been very harmonious before, suddenly became extremely cold, in stark contrast to their previous attitudes. They never considered that the root of all the problems might be the language barrier.

"Colonel, do you want to use..." The adjutant pressed his thumb downwards and made a button-pressing gesture, indicating to Colonel Tan that if the negotiations failed, he could use some violent means.

Colonel Tan hesitated for a moment, but shook his head and rejected the adjutant's proposal: "It is still too early to determine whether An Xueyi's team has been sacrificed. We cannot act rashly before we are sure of their death."

The two looked at each other, saw the helplessness in each other's eyes, and sighed at the same time.

"Now we can only wait..."

"Hello, can you hear us?" Lin Lang's clear voice suddenly rang out outside the Dragon Tomb. The temporary base, which was filled with quarrels and communications, suddenly became quiet at this moment. Everyone stared blankly at the "mirror" formed by water that suddenly floated in the air.

The "Huaxia" mercenary group and Lin Lang, who had caused the entire temporary base and the command center far away in City B to be in a state of panic, appeared in the water mirror. They seemed to be able to see what was happening outside, and they smiled and waved to everyone who looked at them.

To be precise, only Lin Lang and the other two were smiling brightly. For some reason, the five members of the Huaxia mercenary group had slightly stiff expressions, as if they had just experienced a huge shock.

But the people in the temporary base who had just experienced the loss of contact had no time to notice this slight stiffness. After a brief shock, everyone showed surprise and excitement as if they had survived a disaster.

As a leader, Colonel Tan's emotions were the most stable among all the people. He coughed to signal everyone to calm down, then took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement and said to An Xueyi: "It's great to see that you are safe and sound."

"Sorry, Colonel, I made you worry." Hearing Colonel Tan's caring words, An Xueyi could not hide his excitement. However, his excitement was not like Colonel Tan's excitement of seeing his "comrades" who he thought were sacrificed. It was more like the excitement of having traveled to another world, seen too many strange people who destroyed the world, and now finally returned to the real world.

The two held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes, speechless for a moment, until the scientist next to them interrupted this heartwarming scene.

"President An, what kind of magic is this water mirror? Why did your signal suddenly disappear? What was the monster just now?" The scientist's strong curiosity made him ask questions like a string of cannonballs. Fortunately, this was what An Xueyi wanted to explain. He calmed down and returned to his usual calm and elegant image as the president, answering the scientist's questions one by one.

"As the name suggests, this is 'Water Mirror Magic'. Its effect is just like what you see now. It can conduct real-time video calls." An Xueyi said.

"But we haven't seen its existence in the magic reported by President An?" someone asked.

This was the question An Xueyi was waiting for. He curled his lips to hide the bitterness that flashed across his eyes, and explained swiftly, "Water Mirror Magic is a relatively complex type of water magic in Parnagian. I had never come across it when I was in Parnagian."

"Now..."

"This involves the second and third questions. The signal was interrupted just now because of the mutant sea monster that appeared in the hall. The sound waves it manipulated destroyed all our electronic equipment."

"Mutated Sea Monster? Is that its name?"

An Xueyi shook his head: "We don't know the specific scientific name yet, we can only guess that it is a mutated sea monster - but what is certain is that it comes from... Parnaki."

This suspicious pause did not escape the sharp ears of Colonel Tan. He asked, "Chairman An, I don't mean to doubt your words, but why did you pause for a moment when you mentioned that it came from Parnaki?"

Lin Lang looked at Colonel Tan with some surprise. As everyone was still in the dangerous ruins, An Xueyi's report was not slow, so the pause just now was only a very short moment, and it was impossible to notice it without listening carefully. Even if you noticed it, most people would just think it was a normal pause in speaking. After all, normal speaking is not like acting, and the lines need to be prioritized.

But An Xueyi was experienced and had been warned by Lin Lang in advance, so he was well prepared. Therefore, in response to Colonel Tan's question, he answered sincerely and frankly: "Because although I had expected the Parnaqui creatures to invade the earth, I didn't expect them to appear so soon."

This logical answer won the approval of Colonel Tan. He sighed, and his serious expression was also a little melancholy: "Although I know that this sounds more like comforting, but instead of being afraid of the arrival of Parnaki and waiting for death, it is better to contact them earlier and make full preparations in advance."

"Colonel, you're right." An Xueyi nodded and followed Colonel Tan's words, "That mutant sea monster is extremely powerful. We tried our best but couldn't hurt it. We could only flee in panic."

"What! Even you can't hurt it? The same goes for those weapons?" Everyone was shocked.

An Xueyi pursed his lips and put on a heavy expression with his team members: "Its power is far beyond our imagination. Perhaps if we want to kill it completely, we must at least use an intercontinental missile."

"Activate the weapon system immediately!" Colonel Tan said without hesitation: "That monster is still alive. If it has the possibility of getting out of here, launch the missile immediately. Don't hesitate!"

"Don't worry, Colonel!" An Xueyi didn't expect that before he finished speaking, Colonel Tan was busy issuing orders, and hurriedly added: "It is suppressed here by the dragon clan, and it will definitely not leave!"

Colonel Tan was a little skeptical: "...Can they be trusted?"

An Xueyi and others nodded hurriedly: "Very friendly!"

——In fact, these dragons don’t care about the life or death of humans at all.

An Xueyi silently added in his heart, but still had to follow Lin Lang's arrangement and answer: "It was they who suppressed the mutant sea monsters for us again and bestowed us with the magical inheritance."

"Inheritance?" Everyone was stunned.

At this point, An Xueyi's voice could not hide his excitement: "It is a huge magic of tens of thousands, which has been stored in my memory at the moment, but I still need a lot of time to digest and interpret it. The 'Water Mirror Magic' that you are seeing now is one of the magics in the inheritance."

This is undoubtedly great news. Although the "travelers" brought news about Parnaki and the end of the world, there was not much information about magic. The magic that the government has now is mostly just some basic magic, and its lethality is far less than that of firearms.

Colonel Tan felt excited for a moment and was about to ask why the dragon clan would bestow them with the magical inheritance, when he saw the water mirror in front of him suddenly flash a few times.

"Hello, the signal here seems to be not very good. I'll hang up first." Without waiting for Colonel Tan to reply, An Xueyi quickly cut off the Shuijing communication, leaving a group of people confused.

"Does magic also require signals?"

...

An Xueyi let out a long sigh, his legs went limp, and he sat down on the ground.

Lying in front of a group of top scientists, psychologists, and military leaders is much more difficult than fighting "Cthulhu".

"Well done." Lin Lang on the side cast an admiring look at him: "It's better than I thought. After we get out, it will be up to you to make sure there are no flaws in the follow-up."

An Xueyi's mouth twitched, but he did not dare to disobey Lin Lang's order, so he could only nod to show his acceptance.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced carefully at Lin Lang and the other two. The turmoil in his heart had not subsided yet.

Ninety percent of the conversation with Colonel Tan and others just now was a "lie" prepared by Lin Lang for him, including blaming the failure of the communication equipment on "Cthulhu", concealing the identity of "Cthulhu", and saying that the illusion created by the Dragon Tomb was the real body of "Cthulhu".

Some of these lies were to prevent his identity from being exposed, and some were to cover up the dragon tomb. Lin Lang even prepared a lie of "dragon inheritance" to impress the dragons in front of humans. Of course, the so-called "inherited magic" was real. It was just that the magic was not inherited by the dragons, but by Lin Lang, Su Mu, and Lin Yuan.

Just when the Golden Dragon was about to take them to the real "Dragon Tomb", Lin Lang and the other two requested to rest for a while so that they could deal with some things.

The dragon clan didn't have much concept of time, and didn't care how long Lin Lang and the others rested, so they readily agreed to their request.

An Xueyi and the other four who followed behind Lin Lang and the other two were trembling with fear. They thought that Lin Lang and the other two wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of those who knew the "secret". However, they did not expect that after Lin Lang slapped a magic circle on their heads, he took the initiative to offer to pass on the magic to them.

"...Aren't you afraid that we will expose your secrets after we go out?" Although An Xueyi knew that this question was very dangerous, as the president of the Transmigraters' Union and an official member, he must avoid anything that might endanger the survival of China. Now that the identities of Lin Lang and the other two could not be determined, and they could communicate so smoothly with the dragon, they were most likely humans from Parnaki. If they were cast with a magic that controlled their minds, and they unknowingly became Parnaki's "spies" buried on Earth, it would be troublesome.

How could Lin Lang not know the true meaning behind An Xueyi's words? She smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just a ban. I originally wanted to erase your memories of this period of time, but if I did that, it would be too difficult for the three of us to explain it clearly after we get out. So I'll give you a bargain. You can still do what you want to do as before, but before the three of us agree to let you tell us about this experience and our secrets, your mouths will stop you before you want to tell the truth."

An Xueyi took a deep breath.

This was an unheard-of method, never seen even in Parnaqui.

"...You are the Parnaqui people?"

"A pure-blooded Earthling." Su Mu said, "Just like you, a time traveler."

"If that's the case, why do you have to hide your identity? Wouldn't it be better to just tell the country and help humanity face the end of the world?" Zhou Yuan said, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you from the Parnaki sect?"

Currently, time travelers are divided into four factions: Earth Faction, Parnaki Faction, Doomsday Faction, and Dove Faction.

The Earth Faction, led by An Xueyi, firmly chooses the Earth side and helps the Earth prevent the coming of the end of the world and Parnaki.

The Parnacians, on the other hand, were bent on the Otherworld, and they could not wait to lead the way for the Parnacians to occupy the Earth.

The doomsday faction is chaotic evil. They do not take sides and hope that both worlds will fall into doomsday and complete chaos.

The doves do not take sides and just hope that the two sides can coexist harmoniously.

——But how easy is it for two worlds with completely different cultures, civilizations, languages, social systems and power systems to coexist peacefully?

Although the Parnaki sect is not as crazy as the Doomsday sect, their number is not small among the time travelers, and they act more covertly than the Doomsday sect, which even the officials find very difficult to deal with.

If Lin Lang and the other two were from the Parnaki sect...

An Xueyi and the other four gasped.

They simply couldn't imagine what a terrible enemy Parnaji would be with such combat power.

Facing Zhou Yuan's question, Lin Lang hummed, "Lin Yuan and I should be firm believers of the Earth faction, Su Mu, you are probably a dove faction?"

Lin Yuan had previously explained to his classmates the official classification of "time travelers" factions, so Lin Lang was not unfamiliar with it.

The unexpected answer gave hope to An Xueyi and the other five who were desperate. An Xueyi asked anxiously, "Since you are from the Earth faction, why don't you reveal your identity? Instead, you use magic to stop us from telling the truth?"

An Xueyi and the other four were under Lin Lang's control, so Lin Lang was not worried about his words being leaked, so he said directly: "I don't really mind revealing my identity. Lin Yuan is definitely the one among us who wants to reveal his identity the most... But our composition is quite complicated, and revealing our identity will cause a lot of trouble, so let's forget about it for now."

"Alas, I had imagined the exposure should be more grand and magnificent. It should at least be broadcast live to the whole world so that everyone can witness my graceful and heroic figure." Su Mu complained with a sigh.

An Xueyi couldn't help but glance at Su Mu, and subconsciously a look of ardent love emerged in his eyes, but after recalling Su Mu's powerful fighting ability, he turned into confusion and helplessness.

He gritted his teeth and continued to inquire about the news: "How many people are there in total?"

"This is the secret." Lin Lang blinked his right eye at An Xueyi, smiling smartly and playfully, like a lively little deer: "You are not qualified to listen to my words for the time being."

Seeing that he couldn't get the number, An Xueyi changed the question: "Does every one of your companions have the same fighting power as you?"

"Of course." Lin Lang nodded.

Seeing that Lin Lang answered whatever she asked and was very good-tempered, Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask, "What is the inheritance you just told us about?"

"Magic." Lin Lang said with a smile: "You want to fight against the end of the world, you don't think that you can just rely on your mediocre magic, right?"

Lin Yuan added: "We cannot reveal our identities for the time being, but we also want to contribute to the country, so we can only trouble you to pass on this knowledge, including the languages ​​and writings of various ethnic groups."

Without waiting for the five people to refuse, a magic circle appeared under Lin Lang and the other two again, directly forcing a large amount of magical knowledge into their minds.

"I have sealed this knowledge. Only when your magic power reaches a certain level will the next level be automatically unlocked." Lin Lang said considerately: "If the high-level magic is not sealed, even if it is only stored in your mind, it will continuously absorb your magic power. With your current magic storage, you will be drained in less than three days. Magic like forbidden spells can be activated even if you just think of it accidentally. I'm afraid that if you can't control it well, you will die and the base will be blown up."

"Forbidden spell?" The five people were shocked.

Advanced magic is something that is out of their reach. In the city where they live, only the bishop of the church and the president of the local magic association are qualified to master it, not to mention the forbidden spells that are rumored to be used only by great magicians.

Are they really qualified to learn such magic?

They made the forbidden spells that are so sacred in the eyes of magicians sound as simple as eating and drinking. Lin Lang...who are these three people?

Compared to his teammates, An Xueyi was the calmest of the five. He quickly recovered from his shock and said, "But how are we going to explain this magic knowledge to them after we get out?"

"This is easy." Lin Lang's eyes rolled and he had an idea in his mind.

After that, the water mirror scene appeared.

Although he didn't know why Lin Lang was so partial to the Dragon Clan in his words and deeds, which was rumored to be an extremely arrogant and powerful race, one had to bow down when under someone's roof. An Xueyi didn't think he was reliable enough in Lin Lang's mind for her to tell her the reason.

It was obvious that Lin Lang and the other two knew what the "secret realm" before them was. However, just like their identities, this matter could not be easily found out.

As a sensible person, An Xueyi would not go out of his way to cause trouble for Lin Lang and the others. An Xueyi was thinking about what information he could get from Lin Lang and the other two, but Yun Xiaoxiao at the side asked first, "Why don't you tell them that Cthulhu has been defeated?"

Wouldn't it be a relief to let people outside know that "Cthulhu" is dead?

Lin Yuan shook his head and answered the question: "Our identities and strengths cannot be exposed for the time being, so in front of the officials, the only ones who can defeat Cthulhu are you. But this means that the officials who cannot contact Cthulhu will compare its strength through you and make a wrong judgment about its true strength. If Cthulhu appears again in the future, if the judgment of its combat power is wrong, the consequences will be disastrous."

After answering Yun Xiaoxiao's questions, Lin Lang stood up from the cross-legged sitting position without any image, and patted the hem of her skirt: "I have asked enough questions, and it is time to rest. Let's go."

"Um..." Liu Wei raised his hand: "Can our equipment not be restored?"

"Repairing it is no problem. But you can't just take pictures of what comes next." Lin Lang said: "Also, you need to keep what you see next confidential."

If it weren't too unsafe to leave the five people here and it involved the secrets of the dragon clan, Lin Lang didn't really want to take the five people with him.

"GPS positioning and communication equipment are not possible?" Zhou Yuan asked tentatively.

Lin Yuan shook his head and rejected his application: "Sorry, there may be secrets of the dragon clan hidden in it, which cannot be made public."

"But he...?" Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but pursed her lips, pointing to Su Mu, who was standing at the back, pretending to look around but actually taking pictures with his phone, and whispered, "Isn't he taking pictures too?"

"Xiaoxiao!" An Xueyi quickly pulled Yun Xiaoxiao to stop her from saying such irresponsible words.

Fortunately, Su Mu didn't mind. Taking advantage of the fact that the dragons were uneducated and couldn't understand Chinese or mobile phones, Su Mu said, "I'm not filming. I'm just live-streaming the grave."

An Xueyi and the other five: “???”
