When I woke up, I was already lying in the hospital, white as far as the eye could see, and the smell of disinfectant water in the air was permeating. I don't know how long I was unconscious, but I kept my eyes open and looked at the ceiling for a while before I could get used to it. Lying on the bed next to me was Shen Muhan, and I tried to scream twice but there was no response.

I forced myself to sit up from the hospital bed, but unexpectedly, a tearing pain came all over my body, and I couldn't support it and rolled to the ground, and the various tubes inserted in my body pulled the medical equipment next to it for a while, and a nurse heard the movement and rushed in and saw that I was trying to get up on the ground, and after several attempts failed to help me to the bed, she turned around and ran to call someone.

I crawled to Shen Muhan's bed when no one was paying attention, patted Shen Muhan's hand and still didn't respond, it seemed that she hadn't woken up yet, so I had to look at her quietly, and after a while, tears flowed uncontrollably.

A doctor walked in and patted me on the shoulder: "Young man, she's fine, it's just that she's weaker than you so she hasn't woken up yet, wait for two more days and you'll be fine, go back to bed and rest first." After saying that, he beckoned a few medical staff to carry me back to the hospital bed. I glanced at the name tag on the doctor's chest - Lin Xue.

When the madman arrived at the hospital, several medical staff were busy restoring the medical equipment that I had messed up with, and Lin Xue told him a few precautions before leaving. Li Feng sent Dr. Lin away, sat back down beside me, stretched out his hand and shook it a few times: "Hey! How much is this? ”

The moment I saw the madman, I felt that I was really back, and squeezed out a smile at him: "I'm not blind again!" ”

"Didn't you two go to archaeology? How did it get like this? ”

After the madman asked, he quickly changed his words: "Yes! The doctor said you need to get some rest, forget it, let's wait until you get better. You have a good rest, I will go home and take a bath, you said that you don't wake up early or late, you just woke up after applying shower gel, you were sweating and covered in bubbles on the way just now, do you have anything you want to eat, I will bring it to you at night? Forget it, I'll look at it and buy it. After saying that, he said a few more words and left.

Although the madman didn't say anything, I knew that he must have been in the hospital a lot during this time, and those few understatement words just now were just to cover up his worries.

After the madman left, there were only me, Shen Muhan and a nurse on duty left in the ward, and I simply closed my eyes and sorted out what I had experienced in the past few weeks, and there were many questions that I still don't know the answers to.

Because of the bottleneck encountered in shipwreck archaeology, Professor Li of the archaeological team asked Professor Yu for help, and Professor Yu recalled me and Shen Muhan back to China. Eighteen years ago, Professor Yu sent the two to the United Kingdom to study archaeology-related content, plus he had participated in the archaeology of the Atlantis ruins and had experience in underwater archaeology, it seems that it is normal for Professor Yu to recommend himself to Professor Li, but now that I think about it, there is an obvious loophole here. Since the archaeological team knew that it was a shipwreck before going to Yinyu, why didn't they call on members with underwater archaeological experience in China? Even if we didn't anticipate the need for manpower detection at the beginning, then when there was a problem, we should call domestic professionals, and there was no need to call ourselves back from the UK, so the key was that Professor Yu knew that this place had something to do with our background.

After arriving in Yinyu, Ding Ning had an accident that night, but the other people who ate and lived together did not have any problems, and it was even more coincidental that Ding Ning was one of the two people who had really gone into the water, if there was a problem underwater, why did Wang Chuan, who also went into the water, have similar symptoms, is Ding Ning's madness accidental or inevitable?

Then there is a series of problems after entering the water.

It is now certain that someone had arrived at the wreck before the archaeological team, and judging by the eight corpses, it was not a group of people. The space in the wreck has been searched, and there is nothing of value, and the real purpose of the eight people entering the water should not be the wreck, it is very likely that the space with a banyan tree is their real purpose. The black door was open, and were the eight corpses dead before entering the cave or had they been killed after they came out of the cave? If the eight people were killed after coming out of the cave, and what was the purpose of their entry into the cave, they should not have entered the passage in the banyan tree, because the key is in my hand, and the only thing that may be taken away is the thing in the hand of the dry corpse under the banyan tree. What exactly is in the hands of the dry corpse? What is the origin of these eight people, and who killed them?

The strange mask in the shipwreck didn't look natural, it should be artificial, but why was he afraid of Shen Muhan's blood? The seal I found on the gate later was very similar to the one I saw Lin Siling put in Lin Mosheng's hand when I was unconscious, could it be that the stone cave at the bottom of the sea has something to do with Lin Mosheng? Could the shipwreck on the bottom of the sea be the ship that Lin Siling was on at sea? Could the dried corpse under the banyan tree be Lin Mosheng?

The pendant I had carried with me for twenty years turned out to be the key to open the passage on the banyan tree, and the snake-print mask in the room at the bottom of the passage allowed me to see for the first time a fragment of Lin Siling's memories of taking a boat on the sea to find a place.

After combing through the entire archaeological process, I came to a conclusion that I didn't want to believe the most, but it seems to be the most reasonable at the moment: the shipwreck archaeology is just a pretense, and the real purpose is to let Shen Muhan and I go into the water and enter the stone cave.

Shen Muhan was originally only good at physical anthropology, and Shen Muhan was also asked to go to Yinyu without determining that there would be ancient corpses or remains in the shipwreck, which can only show that if Shen Muhan doesn't go, I can't do it alone, and the people behind the layout have long known that Shen Muhan's blood has a restraint effect. The first to recall me from abroad was Professor Yu, even if the whole bureau was not set by Professor Yu, then at least Professor Yu should be aware.

In addition to the problems of this archaeological activity itself, I carefully recalled the two memories I saw when I was unconscious that did not belong to me, and those memories seemed to be about the Lin family and the Shen family.

The first paragraph should be Lin Yi'an's memory, in that memory, someone once mentioned that the Qing Dynasty was about to die, so the time when those things happened should be in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, looking at the funeral at that time, the Lin family was still a huge family at that time, but there were disagreements within the family, and the focus of the disagreement was something called the natal chart, and it seemed that the Lin family had a deep relationship with the natal chart.

Lin Siling was originally not called Lin Siling, but Shen Siling, the Lin family and the Shen family should be married, at the funeral scene Shen Siling took over the position of the head of the Lin family, and changed his surname to Lin. In that memory at sea, Lin Siling has become the head of the Lin family, so that memory should be after this period.

I don't know who the second memory belongs to now, but it is very likely that it is also Lin Yi'an. Lin Yi'an and Lin Siling were originally husband and wife, and it was reasonable for Lin Yi'an to be on the boat. The whole memory shows that Lin Siling went to sea to find a certain place, whether it would be the stone cave at the bottom of the sea. Lin Siling once handed Lin Mosheng a seal, and said, "My Lin family does not have a nameless soul", it is obvious that Lin Mosheng may die. And in his memory, Lin Mosheng had mentioned the Shen family and the Japanese people, and it was obvious that many people were looking for that thing in the last words that Lin Siling said.

If you consider all of this together with the situation at the bottom of the sea, you can form a complete story.

In order to prevent a mysterious thing from falling into the hands of the Japanese, the Lin family and the Shen family joined forces, the Shen family was responsible for resisting the pursuing Japanese, and the Lin family was responsible for protecting or destroying that thing.

After combing through the two memories, I found that it was not by chance that Shen Muhan and I grew up together, and the Lin family and the Shen family in those memories should be related to me and Shen Muhan, but what happened before we were born that caused us not to know our own life experience? It is not by chance that Professor Yu adopted me and Shen Muhan, it is very likely that these were arranged from the beginning, so what is Professor Yu's purpose?

One question after another came to mind, I didn't have a clue, I started to feel a little dizzy after thinking too much, I simply closed my eyes, and I fell asleep again in a groggy way.
