Chapter 34: The Face of the Devil
There is no regret medicine in this world, no matter what exactly is the reason for embarking on this road in the end, there is no turning back, this road is full of thorns, full of unknowns, every moment someone may die, the next moment may be you, wandering on the edge of life and death, never knowing what will happen in the next moment.

Yongfa can't turn back, from the moment he joined this archaeological team, his fate has changed because of this, and he is destined to live an ordinary life.
After a short silence, Professor Liu spoke again: "You look at the data, what do you see?"
"Huh?" Professor Xu was taken aback, just now he only noticed that the humidity value was lower than the normal standard value, and now Professor Liu asked, does it mean that this data has other meanings?
Professor Xu carefully looked at it again, very seriously, this time he saw the end, it really made him see something, the hygrometer record is sorted by time, the time of measurement is short from now, ranked above, on the contrary, it is ranked below, and Professor Liu is measured from the camp to the northwest, so the data is presented in a strange law, the further to the northwest, the higher the humidity value, and vice versa, the lower it is, but, overall, the humidity value is still quite low.
"The direction of the water!" Professor Liu added another branch to the fire and said, "I'm getting more and more curious about what I want to do in that direction!"
"I'm also quite curious!" Professor Xu said, the two professors looked at each other and smiled, both understood that the other party was just talking, curiosity is such a thing, for so many years, even if there is, it has been cut off, throughout the ages, there are not a few people who have died because of curiosity.
For the two professors, anything that must be done, such as exploring out of curiosity, will never be done, which will invisibly add a lot of trouble to them, as well as a crisis in their lives.
"But how did these trees survive? It doesn't look like it's desperately water-scarce at all, and maybe it's another mystery!" Professor Xu said half-jokingly.
"I think, I understand why!" Professor Liu stood up and looked northwest, where a thick white mist kept spewing out, spreading faster than expected, and in the blink of an eye, they were at their camp.
Professor Xu turned his back to that direction, only to feel a chill all over his body, and the temperature around him dropped several degrees in an instant.
"It's a mist of water, and it only rises in places like a large lake with plenty of moisture!" Professor Liu looked at his palm, and after a while, there were already tiny droplets of water in his hand.
"Every time it rains, there should be such a mist, and the sky, this valley mouth is often foggy, I think, the plants get water because of this, perhaps, this is also the reason why animals are scarce here, without water sources, it is impossible for animals to settle here!" Professor Liu bent down and plucked a weed, and there were already small crystal droplets of water on the branches and leaves.
Professor Xu felt that it was very cold in the fog, and this fog should be very different from the fog last time.
The mist was getting thicker and thicker, and the light of the fire was much dimmer and swaying, as if it was about to be extinguished at any moment.
"Look, what is that? the shadow of the devil?" Just as Professor Xu was about to propose to go back to the tent first, he saw a picture that he will never forget.
The mist did not stop spreading, but retreated like a tide, to the northwest, it was a whirlpool hovering in the air, wisps of white mist were constantly inhaled, and in the center of the whirlpool, a face seemed to appear faintly, indescribably hideous, that face seemed to be laughing, and it seemed to be crying.
What is this? Evil spirits?
Professor Xu hurriedly raised the telescope and looked at it more closely, it was indeed a face, which made people feel that it was a devil's face at a glance, and the expression of smiling and crying added to its weirdness, which seemed to loom in the white mist, and there was a hint of mystery.
Professor Liu's face was pale, it also rained heavily here not long after they left, he didn't understand anything back then, he was excited and curious, the equipment was not very good, many details were ignored, would those people go to that ditch?
Back then, there was no clue, there was no way to investigate, and it would not be like at this time, there were so many clues to check, forget it, Professor Liu sighed lightly, and he had already made a decision in his heart.
It came and went quickly, and in less than ten minutes, the mist, including the devilish face, disappeared completely.
Professor Liu kept staring in that direction, silent for a long time, the creation of nature is really magical, it is really magical, his fingers kept pinching the weeds he had just pulled, and the small crystal droplets on it disappeared.
"Menangay - the devil's hall, this title doesn't seem to be an empty nest!" Professor Xu put down the telescope in his hand and sat back by the fire: "Ordinary people must think they have seen a ghost when they see it!"
"Huh?" After a long time, no one answered, Professor Xu stood up again and patted Professor Liu on the shoulder: "Isn't it......?
"What...... What...... The ...... voice was long, like a ghost crying, faintly a yin wind blew, Professor Xu was full of excitement, and the hand on Professor Liu's shoulder was withdrawn like lightning, as a member of the same archaeological team, Professor Xu couldn't be clearer, this was not Professor Liu's voice at all, so who was this person in front of him? What about Professor Liu? Professor Xu's feet gently took a few steps back, widening the distance.
And at the same time that Professor Xu's hand left his shoulder, the man began to move, slowly turning around, and every movement seemed to be slowed down infinitely, and then slowed down.
Professor Xu suddenly noticed that the way this man turned around was very strange, that way people would never be able to do it, because he was turning little by little like a pillar spinning in place, his feet were moving, but he couldn't leave any marks around him, no, more precisely, his feet were spinning at all at all except the ground before he was standing, but he was down-to-earth, he did turn around.
At that moment, Professor Xu suddenly realized that the person in front of him was very likely not a person, Professor Xu's forehead gradually oozed fine cold sweat, he was already about to see that face, but he didn't want to see a familiar face.
Professor Xu wanted to lower his head and not look, but he couldn't help but look, that person's movements were very slow, slow to the extreme, as if he couldn't be any more slow, and for Professor Xu, every second of waiting was a kind of torment.
Professor Xu knew that he could see everything as long as he took a few steps forward, but he was unwilling, in contrast, he would rather endure the torment and wait.
Finally, when the person turned to the angle where he could see his face, Professor Xu took a deep breath and looked at it, however, at this moment, the fire that had been burning well was suddenly extinguished.
"Hehe......" The eerie laughter seemed to be close to the distance, and the rich smell of blood went straight into the nasal cavity, with a smell of corpses......
