1TWITF[C Chapter 127

Chapter 127

Zhuang Ci and her companions were unaware that Lin Chu and they were not in the same world.

Or rather, they were originally in the same world, but through a twist of fate, Lin Chu arrived in another parallel time and space.

“Be careful, this tomb hasn’t been fully excavated yet, and there’s a lot of poisonous gas down below.”

“These texts can’t be memorized, and we can’t take pictures for the time being, so we can’t do any translation work in the short term.” Seeing Lin Chu staring at the wall, Yu Gaoyi explained to her.

Lin Chu had seen these texts before.

In the ancient tomb in Shangxian Village, she had seen the same texts, the same murals.

She turned her head to look at Yu Gaoyi.

There was also a Yu Gaoyi here, and in the Spirit Medium Town, there was also a Yu Gaoyi.

So… does this world also have a Spirit Medium Town?

Has it mutated to such a terrifying degree?

Lin Chu walked in the middle as usual.

She knew that thing was staring at her, it was very eager to turn her into its follower. The sense of crisis constantly surging in her heart made her not dare to relax for a moment, and she clenched the straps of her backpack.

She saw that eye again!

“What’s wrong?” Yu Gaoyi, who was behind her, asked, reaching out to put 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. Without even thinking, she knocked it away.

Turning her head, she saw that Yu Gaoyi’s entire face was covered with eyes, all casting aggrieved glances at her.

But all the skin exposed on his body was covered with eyes, pairs of eyes staring at her coldly, like a venomous snake, making her shudder.

Lin Chu took out a small glass bottle from her pocket.

If these things remained in the intangible state of ghosts or curses, she would have no way to deal with them, but attached to a certain creature, they were much easier to handle.

“Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?” The person in front turned around, saw that the two of them were about to fight, and quickly stopped them. Lin Chu took a step back, and found that Yu Gaoyi had returned to normal, looking puzzled and aggrieved as he covered his face, wanting to resist but not daring to.

“It’s nothing.” Lin Chu put away the bottle, leaving Yu Gaoyi to explain to the others in a friendly manner, and the team finally didn’t cause a riot and continued to move forward.

The moment Lin Chu turned around, she caught a glimpse of the fleeting, cold smile on Yu Gaoyi’s face.

She stopped, turned sideways, and pulled Yu Gaoyi to the front, walking behind him herself. After a while, she sensed Yu Gaoyi’s gaze again.

He was clearly moving forward, but his face was twisted around, looking at her.

“Strange, this road didn’t seem this long when we first came here.” Before Lin Chu could respond, the voice of the leader came from the front.

Yu Gaoyi turned his head back around. Lin Chu once again saw an eye on the small bit of his neck exposed by his collar.

Indeed, it was not normal.

After walking forward for another distance, it was still a dark cave, seemingly never-ending. After arriving at a familiar spot again, Lin Chu reached out and explored the top of the cave, and did not feel the mark she had just carved, but her doubts deepened.

“We’ve been going in circles.” She stated her judgment, “This road is a loop, no matter how we walk, there will be no end.”

“No way? Maybe this road is just longer?” Someone in front retorted.

Lin Chu’s mark had also disappeared, but she trusted her intuition and judgment.

This tunnel was a loop. If she hadn’t miscalculated, they had already walked four laps.

If it wasn’t that there was another problem with the tunnel, then there was another possibility – that something had been following them, erasing all their marks!

Then, she would try walking one last lap.

If they still couldn’t get out after the last lap, she would have to use other methods.

The others didn’t seem to pay any attention to what she was doing. After she finished, the team continued to move forward.

On the other side, Lu Yanli followed the team into the gate.

Unlike the other excited archeological team members, he saw… that idol again.

Incredibly huge, it was hard to imagine that an underground tomb could hold such a statue. Humans standing in front of it were incredibly small, perhaps like an ant placed in a human palm.

On both sides were towering, tightly packed, dark-colored bricks, arranged in strange geometric shapes. Light leaked in from somewhere, allowing him to see the full appearance of the statue.

It was smiling.

The ferocious and distorted face showed a smile, both like compassion and like indifference. Its body was covered with cracked patterns, looking like it could crack open at any moment.

It was looking at him.

It wanted to devour him.

Lu Yanli had this incredibly clear realization.

The mark on his chest had been gouged out, leaving a large scar, and no new mark had been produced. But that was no longer important.

Its main body had already seen him, no matter where he went, he would be watched by it.

Opening his eyes again, everything was gone.

Was it an illusion?

“Ah? How… how would I know? You wouldn’t say when I asked you.”

Thinking of that scene, Daozi couldn’t help but feel lingering fear.

Not good, not good, we have to believe in science.

Lu Yanli thought, so that’s where he disappeared, in this tomb chamber.

He didn’t know where “he” had gone, he didn’t have that memory, he didn’t know if it was because they weren’t the same person, or because he had forgotten for some reason.

Also, the coffin?

Why did “he” want to open the coffin? Who was lying inside the coffin?

Lu Yanli slowly walked forward.

The others were carefully observing the burial objects, collecting the fragments little by little, preparing to take them back for research. Some people were also observing the texts and murals on the surrounding walls.

“Completely unfamiliar texts, judging from the writing style, they seem to belong to Eastern civilization. But they don’t exist in any dynasty…”

“I recognize them.” Lu Yanli said.

His words caused a stir, and the others all turned their heads to look at Lu Yanli, their eyes filled with suspicion. Captain Yang, the leader, frowned, “Little Lu, what did you say?”

Lu Yanli repeated, “I recognize these texts.”

He had already come to the wall, pointing to the texts on it, and lightly read them out loud.

That time, wasn’t the team leader expert who explained the mural stories Captain Yang?

The cycle of different worlds. The older Captain Yang told the story to the future him, and he went back to the past to tell this story to the younger Captain Yang.

As the story was told, a group of people followed Lu Yanli, walking forward, their expressions gradually becoming solemn.

In the end, the texts disappeared at the door. His story was also finished.

At this moment, everyone heard a violent explosion from outside the door.

Before they could react, a team of people rushed over from outside the door, and after a while, the door was pushed open forcefully, revealing a crack. The people outside were trying to squeeze in.

“Lin Chu?”

“Lu Yanli?”

The two people inside and outside the door were shocked.

The others were also shocked for a while. Seeing Lu Yanli stepping forward to help, they also followed suit and pushed the door.

The strange thing was that when they came in, pushing the door open wasn’t so difficult, but now, the metal door had become incredibly heavy, and it took several people working together to barely push it open.

“Are you alone?”

Lin Chu finally fluttered in from the crack in the door, turned around and helped push hard, “No, Yu Gaoyi is still behind.”

“Which Yu Gaoyi?”

“Not the one you saw.”

In the instant before the door closed, Lu Yanli saw several people infected with green spores, staggering towards this side.

“Was there anyone else outside the door?” Captain Yang asked suspiciously, “By the way, Little Lu, who is this? Do you know them?”

“No.” Lu Yanli said.

Lin Chu had already taken off her gas mask, and showed everyone a quiet and well-behaved smile, “This is my friend Yu Gaoyi, he’s here for archeology too.”

Yu Gaoyi: …

Why did he feel that this group of people had archeological value?

He didn’t know Lu Yanli, but that didn’t stop him from intuitively feeling that this person was very dangerous. When Lu Yanli gave him a gentle smile, Yu Gaoyi’s entire skin tensed up.

He always felt that this person would do something very terrifying in the next second.

Tsk.

“Are you sure he’s not the one I saw?” Seeing that he was obviously afraid of him, Lu Yanli simply moved away from the crowd and asked Lin Chu in a low voice.

Lin Chu swore to the heavens, “He really isn’t.”

It wasn’t because of her actions, but because she could actually successfully plot against him without him knowing, that was his warning sign. But he wouldn’t say it explicitly, only letting Lin Chu mistakenly believe that he held a grudge against her in his heart because of her actions.

“You saw her?” Lin Chu was a little surprised, thought for a while and said, “You can think of her as a person with special abilities.”

“Person?” Lu Yanli’s expression clearly showed disbelief.

“Just think of her as one, sometimes it’s hard to define the species of human.”

Indeed, if it weren’t because Lin Chu didn’t reveal any murderous intent, he wouldn’t have noticed until she was right in front of him.

Lu Yanli recalled again.

Why did she show such a relieved expression? It was as if he had completed something important. Also, after she saw that plane, she said that she seemed to know how to fly a plane…

So, Lin Chu wanted to let him leave as soon as possible.

Then, could it also prove that that world was not the original world he should be in?

So many layers of worlds, which layer did he belong to?
