Chapter 244 The Diary Owner
Yun Zhao was truly stunned.
She did not know Minister Han.
I saw that person once before in the central square.
Half of his face was obscured by the base chief, making his features blurry, and it was unclear whether he was Minister Han.
"Could it be a case of someone with the same name?"
Yun Zhao felt it was a bit too coincidental.
There are no proper names in the diary; they are all nicknames given by the diary's owner.
A common nickname alone is not enough to confirm someone's identity.
Bai Yu shook her head, eagerly flipping to a page and handing it to her. "Look, it says here that Da Dao was seriously injured and needs amputation surgery, and his two younger brothers are crying..."
"Minister Han's great-great-grandfather did indeed suffer serious injuries and almost had his leg amputated, and he did indeed have two younger brothers."
Bai Yu: "When I was little, my grandfather often told me about our ancestors. My family has many old books that tell the story of the hardships of that era."
In those days, a contaminated zone was created at the Southwest Base, and many people escaped using keys.
But danger lurks everywhere outside.
The land was shrouded in darkness, and mutated creatures roamed everywhere.
Once outside the walled sanctuary and without the protection of the sentries, ordinary people face only death.
It was their ancestors who stood up at that time.
Sign a waiver of liability.
They resolutely entered the contaminated area, eliminated the gatekeepers, and reclaimed the shelter.
—That is, the current Dawn Base.
This is why Dawn Base ultimately survived until the end of the Dark Ages.
Just as its name suggests, it ushered in the dawn.
“My grandfather hoped that future generations would not forget that period of history, and he would often mention it. Minister Han’s family also had a booklet that recorded the events of that year in detail. I saw it when I went to his house to play when I was a child…”
Therefore, Bai Yu was absolutely certain that she had not made a mistake!
The broadsword in the diary and the broadsword in the history book recorded belong to the same person.
Yun Zhao remained silent for a moment, then was persuaded by her.
There is a possibility that the name may be the same as another person's.
But like family members, they also share experiences of being injured and nearly having their limbs amputated.
With so many coincidences coming together, could the big knife mentioned in the diary really be 'Han the Big Knife'?
Yun Zhao walked over and sat down next to Bai Yu.
She was still wearing her pajamas, her hair was freshly dried and hung loosely over her shoulders, exuding a faint scent of shampoo.
She read this diary countless times, and even copied it once, clearly remembering all the legible parts.
The diary entry states that they were childhood friends.
Once the identity of one person is confirmed, the identities of the remaining people can be confirmed one by one by following the clues.
Minister Han's great-great-grandfather?
That was about a hundred years ago?
The diary records the early stages of the diary's owner's awakening...
But Jiang Mu found this diary.
If they were truly the ancestors of Dawn Base, their descendants are all still alive, so how could the diary have been lost outside?
Yun Zhao seemed to have thought of something, his eyes flashing, "Old Bai is...?"
Bai Yu ran her fingers over a name in the diary, raised her head, and replied with a proud look, "What do you think?"
All right.
It has been confirmed that he is an ancestor of the Bai Yu family.
Bai Yu indeed said, "He is my great-great-great-grandfather, the pride of the Bai family."
"However, what is recorded here is a little different from what I know."
The more Bai Yu flipped through the pages, the more uneasy she felt; the later content was rather horrifying.
“My grandfather said that Old Bai was the best, kindest, and gentlest guide in the world.”
The family's booklets are filled with records of the great achievements of our ancestors.
It tells the story of how they were selfless, devoted to the people, and risked their lives to carve out paths to survival in a perilous environment with their wisdom and courage.
Every word in the booklet conveys that indomitable spirit.
But the diary says that Old White killed a sentry at the base...
Because the sentry discovered the diary's owner's secret?
secret?
Bai Yu stopped when she turned to a certain page and couldn't help but ask, "Mental traction... what is that?"
Yun Zhao stopped abruptly, turned her head calmly, and replied softly, "How should I know?"
Bai Yu thought about it and realized that Yun Zhao had only been at the base for a few months, and at first she didn't even know the most basic abilities of a guide.
It was her dad who explained it to her.
Is the spiritual connection recorded in the diary a guide's unknown ability?
Bai Yu frowned, seemingly lost in thought.
Yun Zhao changed the subject at the right moment, saying, "Now that it's confirmed that the big knife is Han Da Dao and Lao Bai is an elder of your family, do you know who the owner of the diary is?"
Yun Zhao was unaware of the stories of the base's predecessors.
All she knew was the few words she had spoken to the receptionist about the girl statue on the day she entered the base.
A few words.
It sketches a stroke of the past that is enough to evoke imagination.
Bai Yu's attention was indeed diverted by her question.
The two girls exchanged a glance, their understanding unspoken.
The answer is obvious.
Bai Yu was completely baffled and muttered, "But why is it completely different from what is recorded?"
The red-crowned crane symbolizes hope and courage.
She is the guide leading the base forward and the spiritual totem of the Dawn Base.
They are the object of worship for guides, and revered by everyone.
Established beliefs are not easily broken.
Bai Yu guessed the answer, but refused to believe it, and even began to doubt the authenticity of the diary.
"Do you think this diary might have been deliberately forged?"
They want to distort the history of Dawn Base and misrepresent the image of their predecessors.
Yun Zhao took the diary and said softly, "Everyone is multifaceted; they are both creators of history and experiencers of life."
"Heroes also have their own joys, sorrows, and troubles in their daily lives."
The implication is that the diary is unlikely to be fake.
The details that have been almost invisible to the tides of history are precisely the important parts that constitute their complete personality.
A tattered diary is insufficient to understand the full picture of what happened back then.
"But..." Bai Yu hesitated, still harboring doubts but unable to find a reasonable explanation.
Red-crowned cranes are her idols.
In her heart, he existed like a god.
The exaggerated and playful language used in the diary.
Bai Yu simply couldn't imagine that the owner of the diary and the serene and gentle statue of the young girl were the same person.
"Let's ask Jiang Mu later where he found the diary." Bai Yu still refused to believe it.
The base chief is still here.
The relics of our ancestors have been carefully preserved.
How could the red-crowned crane's diary have been left outside the base?
"Okay, we'll ask them when we get there."
As Yun Zhao spoke, he stood up, took out the iron box containing the diary, and looked down to see the black holes corroded in the diary. His gaze grew increasingly somber.
The red-crowned crane girl... Could she be the first guide to awaken 'spiritual attraction'?
What is the final fate of the red-crowned crane?
What became of her companions, Old White, Big Knife, and others?
Although Yun Zhao felt it was impolite to ask this, he was so eager to know the answer that he asked casually, "Did they all die peacefully of old age in the end?"
