Chapter 291 Chapter 291

In the snowy forest, Mang Tao didn't know how long he had been standing there, and a layer of snow had accumulated on his head.

The sound of crunching footsteps on snow approached from a distance. Mang Tao turned his head and the snow fell on his shoulders and slid to the ground.

"How's it going?" Carrett asked.

"The link has never been interrupted. It's very stable." Mang Tao continued to look in the mirror. "What about that?"

Carrett walked forward and brushed off the remaining snowflakes on the boy's head. "Bryce and Hannah were brought here along with their house. In addition, some buildings were brought along as well. The trees and roads also have traces of the original world."

"That's the only house with anchor points buried in advance?" Mang Tao confirmed again.

"Yes." Kailett raised his eyebrows slightly. "Could it be that Bai Yixin's ability is still too weak and he can't control time and space, so this mistake occurred?"

"It has nothing to do with my ability." Bai Yixin teleported to the two of them. He heard Kailett's questioning words as soon as he arrived, and said unhappily, "Currently, part of the space of the two worlds is overlapping. Time and space are inherently unstable, and this difference is within the expected range."

"What about those ordinary people who accidentally came in?" Mang Tao looked at Bai Yixin.

Bai Yixin: "I went to look for them. There were five people who had mistakenly entered the restricted area, three men and two women. Two of them had already died in the ice and snow, and their bodies were frozen when we found them. On the way back, I happened to meet the other two, who were still alive. I made some small moves in the space to bring them together, and gave them some 'direction'."

Following the illusion created by Bai Yixin, they will soon arrive in the town and meet the last partner.

As for whether to stay put after that or to keep trying to find the two dead people, Bai Yixin didn't care.

He also felt that he had no obligation to explain it to them.

Because the person standing here is Bai Yixin, if it was Qingtong, maybe he would be more gentle in his actions.

Unfortunately, the weird influence prevents him from being so considerate.

It can only be said that the luck of these college students is really bad. When they arrived at the town of Semiril, Mang Tao had already started to act. It was precisely because of the fluctuations in time and space that they could neither get out nor come back, and were trapped in the cycle of time and space. In the time and space where two worlds overlap, everything is wrong. Don't believe your eyes, and don't believe your feelings.

You think you have taken three steps, but you may have moved a thousand meters. You think ten minutes have passed, but you may not even have walked ten seconds.

If the surrounding scenery was not so similar, if the white snow had not confused people's perception, perhaps they would have discovered this fact earlier.

When faced with such a terrible change, the best way is to stay with friends, stay where you are and wait quietly for time and space to return to normal. This way, there is still hope of returning to the original world. If you go to the wrong point of difference in time and space, it is very likely that even your body will not be able to return to your homeland.

Unfortunately, they didn't know this, and later encountered something strange and separated from their companions.

The split-faced doll that Sarah saw and the voice that Tony heard were both of strange origin.

It was a D-class monster that could not attack actively. It could only release some false illusions and sounds to lure people into dangerous areas and seek their own death.

It would not be very dangerous in other places, but in the cold weather with time and space being disrupted and blizzards falling, its temptation is deadly.

Sarah was led into the cold ice and snow by it and lost her life. She died under a tree and was buried by the snow.

Paul also died in his sleep due to the severe cold that he could not resist.

Only Jenny and Tony were left, and they were also led away. The 'person' they saw was a puppet of Sarah created by Bai Yixin using a mirror. Because Sarah was already dead when the real person was reflected, the person standing on the snow with his back to Jenny and Tony had a purple face and closed eyes, as if he had been frozen to death.

This is why she always turns her back to Jenny and Tony.

Once one sees her face from the front, anyone can tell that she is not a living person.

Just as Bai Yixin said, Jenny and Tony quickly followed Sarah's back and reached the town. When they saw the snow-covered town of Semiril, Jenny had a complicated look and Tony looked incredulous.

Tony said that the place where his car overturned could not have been so close to the town.

But the building in front of them was not fake. The person who saw them coming through the window and waved at the door was actually Flynn himself.

Jenny went into the room and sat by the fire, her pale face gradually gaining color.

She originally planned to just roast the fire for a while and then go back to look for Sarah and Paul, but was persuaded by Tony. In the end, Tony went into the snow again to look for Sarah and Paul who was still in the tent.

At this time, on the other side, Bryce and Hannah came to the highest place in this overlapping area, a crooked small building, five stories high.

This is an architectural style that has never been seen before. The house is not square, but cylindrical, with stairs built on the outside, surrounding the cylindrical building and spreading upward. There are suspended terraces on both sides of the third floor, and there are spiral stairs from the terraces to the top floor.

The highest level is covered by an umbrella-shaped roof.

The whole building looks like a tree seedling when viewed from a distance.

The first thing Hannah noticed was the color of the wall's exterior. She rubbed it with her finger and said, "It's a little darker. It looks like dark green now. When it was first painted, it must have been emerald green."

More like a sapling.

Among the buildings in the other world that look like eggs from a distance, there is a building that looks like a sapling and is much taller than other houses. What is its purpose?

"For official use? Or a religious base, well... it's worth exploring." Hannah murmured in a low voice.

"Rather than that, shouldn't we check if there's anything weird here?" Bryce looked at her. "I think your life is much more interesting than studying history, or the history of another world. You can't even publish a paper with it."

Bryce shrugged again and said, "I've been working with you to solve strange cases. I almost forgot that you're a historian."

"To be more precise, I'm an archaeologist. Although both are exploring the past, historians and archaeologists are completely different." Hannah said seriously, "And... I'm not yet at the point where I can call myself an archaeologist. I'm still learning."

She hasn't even finished her studies yet.

"There's nothing weird about this building." The floating book swayed in the air, emitting a light blue light.

Hannah looked at the book. "It tells me that this place is safe. Let's go in and take a look."

Bryce sighed and followed Hannah into the building helplessly.

The lobby on the first floor was full of clutter. Hannah looked at the items scattered on the ground like garbage, as if she were looking at rare treasures. She observed each one carefully, investigating their materials, uses, and the time they had been abandoned.

Because she didn't have any professional equipment, she could only make rough guesses.

"This material... yes, it's ramie. The fiber of this plant is very magical and can even last for thousands of years without decaying. In ancient China, it is a very important textile raw material. Unfortunately, due to this characteristic, it is difficult to determine the age of the material, unless there is a machine."

"And this one, is it silk?"

"What is this? It's not plastic, it's not metal, it's cold, and it doesn't look like a mineral..."

"Bryce, look what I see! Paper! Even though it's in pieces, there are words on it!!"

Hannah held half a piece of paper carefully in her hands and screamed at Bryce.

Bryce: "Oh, ok, that's great."

He didn't see any treasure, he only saw a little girl picking up trash.

"This is a major discovery, text from another world. I want to take some photos." Hannah placed the paper on the stone table. When she was about to take a photo, her brows slightly wrinkled. "This text... seems to have been seen somewhere before."

"Hmm?" Bryce came over. "What are you dreaming about? This is a different world."

Are you kidding me? I know words from another world.

"No, it looks familiar. Let me check."

Bryce looked at the paper. Although the font looked generally square, the strokes were soft and many of them looked like birds.

"What is this, bird writing?" Bryce laughed, "It looks more like a picture."

"Bird... yes, it's Birdwen!" Hannah said immediately.

Bryce: “……Ah?”

Hannah: "The writing of ancient China. Because Emperor Qin Shi Huang unified the world, Bird Script was the writing of Wu and Chu. After Emperor Qin Shi Huang unified the writing, it completely disappeared in history. Three years ago, I went to China and met a Chinese history professor. I remember that I was lucky enough to see an ancient artifact from Chu..."

She began to mutter in a low voice, and then added: "Although this text looks a little simpler than the bird book, I can't mistake the gestures and the writing style."

Bryce looked confused.

Qin Emperor? Chu?

As for history, he only knew the names of a few American commanders and knew nothing else, let alone the historical texts of countries in the Far East.
