The tattoo on his shoulder became increasingly hot, causing Lin Wu to regain consciousness.
But as soon as she came to, she felt herself falling.
Lin Wu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Unexpectedly, he fell to the ground with a bang the next second and rolled several times before stopping.
This left Lin Wu stunned.
She estimated that she fell from a height of two or three meters, which was not very high, so she was not injured anywhere, but she felt severe pain all over her body.
Not being able to take care of himself, Lin Wu opened his eyes and looked around.
It was pitch black.
The backpack was nowhere to be found, and the flashlight was not in his hand either. Lin Wu sat on the ground in a daze for a while, then raised his hand and groped for his watch.
Lin Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief and tapped her watch a few times. The dial lit up and a small hole on the side also emitted light, allowing her to see clearly about half a meter around her.
She looked around first.
I seemed to be in a very empty place, with endless darkness all around me and above my head, with no end in sight.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the light from her watch is too dim. Maybe this place is not very big, but she just can't see it.
However, Lin Wu did not hear any movement from anyone! "Gu Siyin!"
"Bai Jing!"
"Ren Ke!"
“………”
Lin Wu called out everyone's name.
There was no response, not even her own.
Lin Wu's heart sank, as the latter meant that the space where she was was very large, at least the end was not within a few dozen meters, otherwise there would definitely be an echo.
In addition, Gu Siyin and the others were either not here, or this place was so huge that they were far away from her so they couldn't hear her voice, or they were different from her and were seriously injured and unconscious. No matter which result, the situation was definitely not good.
Lin Wu tried his best to stay calm and stood up.
Lin Wu didn't have the compass with her, so she couldn't tell the direction. She just chose a random direction and walked in it, calling the names of Gu Siyin and others as she walked, hoping that someone would reply to her.
However, it is so quiet here, almost eerie.
Lin Wu could even hear his own heartbeat.
She unconsciously raised her hand and touched her left shoulder. The tattoo was still visible, which meant that this place was very dangerous and she might die here.
But in this endless darkness, what kind of danger could she be in? Lin Wu tried her best to observe her surroundings and think about every possibility. But her visual range was too small, which greatly limited her and made it difficult for her to understand the situation.
After walking for more than twenty minutes, Lin Wu still didn't find anyone, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.
She stopped.
This place was definitely much bigger than she thought, and it was completely dark, so it must be underground. She didn't know if the surface was stone or something else, and she couldn't tell what it was, so she couldn't tell the approximate depth of the rock layer.
Most importantly, there was no end in sight, as if it was extremely deep. How could such an incredible place exist underground?
Lin Wu frowned slightly and decided to keep going.
With a glance, Lin Wu immediately stopped and looked forward.
In the darkness, as dark as a beast lying dormant, a flash of white light suddenly appeared! Lin Wu was sure that it was the light of a flashlight! The light also stagnated like her, as if the owner did not expect to see another light source here, and the opposition became stagnant.
Lin Wu really couldn't estimate the approximate distance between the opponent and him, so he decided to take the lead.
"Who are you?!" she asked calmly, thinking that the other person might not be able to see her clearly like she did, so she felt around.
Thank God, at least I still have my usual dagger.
The light stagnated for half a minute and then continued to move towards Lin Wu's direction.
Lin Wu asked again, but got no response, so he clenched his dagger.
It was true that Lin Wu couldn't estimate the distance before, because the other party was really far away from her. About ten minutes later, Lin Wu vaguely saw the outline of a figure. Judging from the speed at which the light grew, the other party was actually walking very fast.
As we got closer, the outline of the figure gradually became clearer.
Finally, the opponent stopped two meters away.
She didn't care about the weirdness of the place and was surprised when she saw who it was.
"Why is it you?!"
It turned out to be Jian Chonghe, whom Lin Wu had never expected!
Jian Chonghe still looked dull and docile, but he seemed to have changed drastically at this moment. When he looked up at Lin Wu, he no longer had his previous temperament, but was replaced by a shrewdness and calmness.
The look he gave Lin Wu was even more complicated.
"I should be the one asking you this. Why are you here? Have you... found the place where the meteorites are?"
"What?"
Lin Wu was startled, then he became alert and took a step back.
She looked at him and said, "How do you know the place where the meteorite was? Have you already looked for it, or..." He didn't lose his memory from the beginning!
Jian Chonghe said calmly, "Of course we found the place where the meteorite was. I followed Mr. Chang and his team through many dangers and finally found the place. Originally... we wanted to retrieve the meteorite. But suddenly Mr. Chang cut his hand and the blood flowed out. The meteorite suddenly became extremely agitated and a vortex appeared, sucking us all in. When I woke up, I found myself in such darkness."
Lu Guichi and the others actually went to the meteorite land? !
No, Lu Guichi didn't want to take something... The thing he wanted was originally here, and he came in through the meteorite! Then the key to open it is blood... her and Lu Guichi's blood!
That should be correct. In Danmaya's underground tomb, it was her blood that opened the door. Lu Guichi originally didn't want to take her with him, which means his blood would work too.
Lin Wu also remembered that she had also bled in that cave!
So it was her blood that caused the change, and Gao Zhouwen died because... her blood made the meteorite agitated? ?
No, she only bleeds a little bit, and Professor Zhang died before Gao Zhouwen. Could it be that because Lu Guichi came in before them, and the entrance was closed later, but the meteorite was still restless, so just a little blood from her could open the entrance?
Lin Wu thought it was about the same. He frowned and looked at Jian Chonghe. Suddenly he said, "Professor Zhang has reunited with us and has confessed to us."
Jian Chonghe seemed to be thinking about something, his eyes fixed on Lin Wu with an unclear meaning.
I was stunned when I heard that.
"What?"
Lin Wu opened his mouth, the words rolling around in his mouth, and he said slowly: "He said that you and he didn't lose your memory at all. You remember everything that happened when you came in before."
Jian Chonghe lowered the corners of his lips and stared at Lin Wu with his dark pupils.
Lin Wu's hair stood on end and he took a step back calmly.
Not to mention, after seeing Jian Chonghe's reaction, Lin Wu thought about Professor Zhang's words from the perspective of the possibility that they did not lose their memory, and he really realized that something was wrong.
Professor Zhang's statement was clearly ambiguous at first, but after he exposed the lotus cane, his tone became more affirmative. If you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem like he didn't remember anything or was unsure!
so--
"This is true. You really didn't lose your memory. You came in twice to the meteorite land, but when you saw that you couldn't survive the danger and most of the people around you were dead, you had to give up and use the lotus cane to leave!"
They all hid part of the truth and pretended to be victims! The darkness around them seemed even more oppressive.
This thrilling silence was finally dispelled by Jian Chonghe's words.
"How did you know that?"
Lin Wu paused, "What?"
Jian Chong and Dingding looked at Lin Wu without hiding anything.
"Professor Zhang is a coward. He knew I was still alive and would never die. That's why he wouldn't have the guts to say these things."
Lin Wu squeezed his hands, calmer than before, "An admission in disguise?"
Jian Chonghe said nothing.
Lin Wu looked at him and said, "I lied to you. So now it seems that Wang Lin and the others are real, and you and Professor Zhang are fake? Did you sneak into the archaeological team on purpose? Or -"
A guess emerged in Lin Wu's mind, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
"In fact, from the very beginning, that anonymous document was directed and acted by you. You deceived the others and deliberately came here in the name of the archaeological team, and you can recruit people to work for you?"
