Chapter 14: Nostalgia in the Air

The basement was so quiet that there was not a trace of wind, and Lin Chen's story sounded particularly tragic and sad. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xia Yutong thought for a while: "That is to say, when your father died, you and your mother didn't know, but you only knew when you saw Beigu?"

"Yes. Lin Chen's voice was extremely dim.

Suddenly, Xia Yutong jumped up suddenly, turned on the flashlight, and the light shot directly at Lin Chen: "You are lying, your words are all false, who are you?" she suddenly shouted emotionally. Lin Chen, who had never seen the light, couldn't open his eyes, but his tone was so anxious: "What I said is true, why do you say that?" The strong light on his thin face was as scary as a skeleton in Xia Yutong's eyes. "You don't know anything...... Why do you say that......" He waved his arm desperately to block out the bright light. But Xia Yutong became even more angry and excited when he saw him like this, and his little face turned red: "Didn't you say that your mother was imprisoned because she stole into the laboratory? At that time, the accident in the laboratory did not happen, so your father did not die at that time, so the Monument Valley was built after you came in." But since you were already locked up here when the valley was built, why didn't the workers who built the valley find you and your mother? Didn't you say that no one found you in the twenty years you've been here?"

"No, isn't it....... It's not like that. Lin Chen desperately waved his hands to explain, but because of the severe malnutrition in his body, he was in a hurry, his brain could not supply blood, and his speech became more and more stumbling.

Xia Yutong's wheezing became more and more angry and excited: "Don't hide it, tell the truth, tell it quickly." He pointed his flashlight at Lin Chen, who was shrunk into a ball.

"You...... You put this thing first..... Put it down...... Don't do it, no. Lin Chen really couldn't stand such a strong light: "That's right...... I ...... when the Monument Valley appeared. It's true that it's already here, but ...... There is no one in this place at all...... People have been here, and they are all ...... What are you called...... The portal machine was transported down the chute......." Xia Yutong was stunned. "Otherwise, do you really think that someone is willing to 'slip' down the slide and make such a big stone by himself......" Xia Yutong's flashlight hung down, and Lin Chen could finally speak well.

Xia Yutong looked suspicious and incredulous: "It turns out that ...... That's the case......." I couldn't help but look back at the slide behind me, and muttered in a low voice: "It's strange that there are teleporters in a village like this, ...... weird"

"They must have brought those high-tech when they came, otherwise why would they have the heart to build such a big basement?" Lin Chen's voice stabilized a little: "My mother told me that I heard that this basement is reserved for those moths that are pregnant with children, and the slide is specially designed for them......."

Xia Yutong really wanted to laugh when he turned around: "Now I believe that your kid is not lying." She shook her head helplessly and whispered, "It's really a little bit of knowledge." “

Lin Chen's health seemed to be very bad, and he coughed violently at this time. Suddenly, Xia Yutong's heart burst into flames, thinking of the painful appearance of Qin Zige coughing like this. Xia Yutong looked at Lin Chen's face and coughed without blood, as if something was gnawing at his heart.

Is he really like Qin Zige, is Qin Zige really weak like this? Why are these two people so similar? Xia Yutong's mind was full of the impression that he was teasing himself with his poisonous tongue, how could this be?

"Hey, do you have any water?" Lin Chen seemed a little uncomfortable, and his lips were not bloody. "Huh?" Xia Yutong's mind was full of Qin Zige's appearance, and he didn't hear him say anything at all. "Forget it, I'll eat the fruit. Lin Chen struggled to get up and walked to the mouth of the slide, and to his surprise, there was really a fruit tree there.

Xia Yutong came back to his senses and saw that Lin Chen was gnawing on those small and astringent fruits, and walked over to pull one down, the little tree was too strong and began to shake. The fruit in his hand was dry and there was no moisture, and Xia Yutong really didn't have any appetite at all: "Has your mother ever told you that 'Huainan is an orange, and Huaibei is an orange'?"

Lin Chen pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly: "I've heard, anyway, it's dark here, and it's not light on the north and the south." Xia Yutong frowned, and took a bite on the dry citrus fruit, unable to chew it, and worked so hard that he wanted to vomit. "Vomit---- it's hard to eat. Xia Yutong's eyes were closed. "I've been eating this since I was a kid and I'm used to it. Lin Chen had eaten a lot unconsciously: "Once you're used to being hungry, you don't eat much." ”

Xia Yutong, who was in pain, raised his head slightly: "Forget it, people don't eat anything but this, and they will definitely die in less than two years." Lin Chen suddenly pulled off half of the ill-fitting coat on his body: "Look, I've been like this since I was a child." Xia Yutong's mouth opened into an O-shape, and half of the fruit in his hand fell to the ground, it was clearly a bone frame, his arms seemed to be supported by only a few bones there, and his collarbones were even deeper.

"Skeleton...... Skeleton Man?" Xia Yutong couldn't help but think of this creepy word. "I'm used to it. Lin Chen put on the clothes that didn't fit at all. Unexpectedly, poor Xia Yutong was completely stupid by his appearance. The big eyes of horror were round open, and he staggered back, Lin Chen hurried over to help her, and suddenly, Xia Yutong felt that his feet were empty, as if he had stepped on something: "Oops---" happened to be broken. Xia Yutong just wanted to bend over, but suddenly, the sound of "boom ---" sounded in the entire basement, and the room was trembling.

"It's ...... What's going on?" Xia Yutong asked Lin Chen beside him. Unexpectedly, Lin Chen was also surprised, and shook his head with his mouth wide open. The two men were momentarily stunned. "Look. Xia Yutong pointed to the mouth of the slide, oh my God, the slide turned down slowly, and behind the dust, a staircase leading to the top was revealed. Xia Yutong looked at the place where he stepped on just now: "Ah, yes........ It's a trap. Xia Yutong was a little stumbling, and slapped Lin Chen, who was stunned beside him: "I ran into the mechanism." Lin Chen was already extremely surprised, he slowly squatted down, stretched out his hand to the twist, and kept touching it.

"Rain...... Rain Boy, me. Why have I been here for twenty years...... Didn't find this ...... either'' He really didn't expect that the mystery of twenty years of isolation would be solved like this?

"Hey. At this time, Xia Yutong patted him in the back: "What are you surprised about? Lin Chen was still stunned,

"Hey, you can go out. Xia Yutong shouted. Lin Chen saw that Xia Yutong had already run towards that exit, and hurriedly followed.
