"Mori has to get hair, even if you want to bring tears to the Ka, in Larsen also bar, pull her West Root Ka"

Sitting in the office chair of the university doctoral supervisor, Li Tong wore a pair of washed gray shorts, flip-flops hanging on his toes and swaying slowly, humming the recently popular brisk tune, and the brush in his hand carefully swept the pocket watch stained with mud.

After graduating from the Department of Archaeology with a master's degree last year, I was unemployed for half a year, and in the face of employment difficulties, I had no choice but to come back to continue my doctoral studies.

The weekend was originally a break time, but the doctoral supervisor sent a message in the WeChat group to arrange a little work, and as the youngest junior brother in school, he was naturally arrested as a strong man.

The job is to clean up a pocket watch, according to the doctor's guide, sent from abroad, there is no sender information.

Fortunately, he is the only one in the office, and he can swipe the most popular short video software at the moment and hum the most popular songs at the moment, which is quite comfortable.

The dirt and rust on the surface of the pocket watch were quickly cleaned up, and a picture came into view.

A small figure with a cloak and folded hands appears to be praying, while directly in front of him stands the throne, which is empty.

Bite the cleaning brush in your mouth, rub it a few times with your thumb, and squint for a while.

"Huh? There is also a line ......"

The words are small and cannot be found without looking closely.

Looking around, he got up and brought a magnifying glass from the tool storage box next to him, and leaned on the table to take a closer look.

"Mortals die, order is eternal......"

It should be something religious, and after making a preliminary judgment, he put the magnifying glass aside and gently opened the lid of the pocket watch, and the picture of the pocket watch dial came into view.

There are no hands and numbers, just a crown.

Picking up the magnifying glass and putting it in front of his eyes, the crown was magnified, and in the center of the crown, a black hole appeared, and blood continued to flow out of the hole.

"Dazzled?"

Li Tong rubbed his eyes and looked again.

The blood flowed like an infusion, and the entire crown was soaked in blood at the moment, and at the same time, the original short video music in the ears was replaced by some kind of peculiar chanting, melodious and tactful, which was refreshing.

When I wanted to put down the magnifying glass, I felt a sharp pain in my head, which almost exploded, and the scene in front of me gradually became endless darkness and boundless......

……

Severe pain in the head...... It's like it's going to crack......

Li Tong rubbed his head, the pain almost made him fall, his body couldn't help shaking, and he reached out to hold on to the wall to stabilize his body. There was a crackling sound under his feet.

Looking down at the ground where the sound came, there was an iron pot on the polished wooden floor.

To be precise, it is a crucible, and there are some special utensils scattered on the ground, which are clearly some utensils used in chemical experiments from the appearance.

A pungent smell emanates from the inside of the crucible......

It's clearly some kind of chemical experiment!

Staring at the clutter on the ground, muttering to himself.

"How can there be these things?"

In the blink of an eye, the sharp pain of kung fu replaced reason again, occupying the peak, Li Tong covered his head and simply sat on the ground.

I don't know how long it took for the sharp pain in his head to subside slightly, and he collapsed on the ground in a daze, holding the ground with his hands and looking around.

In the dim and flickering light, the scenery continues to come into view!

There was only a small room of less than twenty square meters, and one of the mottled walls was covered with paper with strange symbols written on it, and I got up and walked to the wall and touched it with my hands, which felt rough and uneven.

Near the left wall sat an old desk, with peeling paint and scratches, apparently old.

The faint glow of the newly lit candle on the table was the only source of light, casting his shadow on the ground and filling the room with an eerie aura.

On the wall next to the desk was a wall clock the size of a human head, and the pendulum below it made a tinkling sound, rhythmic, like a prelude to some kind of ritual.

Seeing the strange scene in front of him, Li Tong was stunned!

"What's the matter, I'm not in the doctoral supervisor's office? Is it a dream? ”

Raise your right hand and slap it your cheek!

He stopped immediately in front of the right cheek, hesitated for a moment, withdrew his hand, and gently pinched his thigh through his pants.

"Hurt ......"

Not a dream!

So what's going on?

Faced with the strange and strange scene, Li Tong was completely panicked and circled around the room in a panic.

The "tick-tock" sound of the mottled old wall clock matches the panicked footsteps perfectly, and if outsiders are present, it looks like it is dancing to the ticking sound.

It lasted for a long time, and I found that panic couldn't solve any problems, so I sent a hint in my heart.

"Calm down...... Calm, calm is the first element in dealing with any problem. ”

The hint in his heart made the anxiety gradually subside, Li Tong glanced at the whole room, tried to calm his heart with a long sigh, and his eyes fell on the chair in front of the desk.

Pursing his lips, he cautiously paced back to his desk and sat down.

Now the number one priority is to figure out what's going on.

Start with the clues in front of you, then slowly expand the scope!

Now......

There are a lot of scratches on the tabletop, criss-crossed, different shades, the anti-corrosion is not done well, and there are some insect eyes, rubbed with fingertips.

"It's Oak"

As a PhD student in the Department of Archaeology, it is not difficult to determine the material.

Retracting my fingers, the book on the table came into view.

The book is in a state of opening, the pages are yellow, caused by the time factor, and the paper is rough to the touch, not like modern craftsmanship.

Leaning forward slightly, his gaze fell on the contents of the book, some strange patterns and symbols.

The moment I saw it, my head ached faintly. Strange fragments appeared in his mind that he had never experienced before, those rapid flickering images were also strange symbols and drawings, like slides, until he closed his eyes as he could not bear the gradually increasing pain.

After the pain subsided, I tried to open my eyes slowly, and the pictures and symbols that came to my eyes were no longer unfamiliar, like old acquaintances.

"These symbols are words."

It's just that he can't know where the text came from for a Ph.D. student in archaeology.

Connecting the symbols all together is a sentence.

"In the name of Kruto, the god of fate, open the doors of the world."

Quickly flip back the book, and more patterns and symbols will come into view.

The drawings look like chemical experiments, and they can be understood with the symbols and words that you already know.

"It's a magical ritual, magic capable of teleporting living beings into uncharted territory."

His eyes wandered to the chaotic scene on the ground in front of the table, and after being stunned for a moment, Li Tong almost jumped up from his chair......

"Could it be that I was transported to the unknown realm by this magical ritual, which is where I am now?"

Recalling the scene that happened after the picture text of the pocket watch of unknown origin that I saw in the doctoral supervisor's office earlier, a strange and unacceptable year came to mind.

"I ...... I crossed over! ”

After a long ideological struggle, Li Tong accepted this unfortunate fact, and he comforted himself.

"There must be a way to go back, as long as you are familiar with this magic teleportation ritual and activate it again."

Quickly regained his attention and focused on the book in front of him, reading voraciously, and the details of the teleportation magic ritual quickly filled his mind.

Girls...... Li Tong is talented and reckless, but in terms of learning, he thinks he is second, and no one dares to admit first.

When he turned to the last page, Li Tong was stunned.

There are some debris left in the gap between the pages and the cover.

God played a huge joke on Himself.

"There was a page that was torn off......"

This means that it is impossible to repeat this teleportation magic ritual!

Li Tong is like falling into an ice cave!

Unwillingly, he rummaged through it a few times, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the trash can next to the desk, got up and rummaged through the trash can next to him, except for some bread crumbs and a few orange peels, there was no other garbage, and he collapsed helplessly on the chair.

"I can't give up, the missing page must still be here, look for it again."

After cheering himself up, Li Tong got up and continued to explore.

Deep in the room, on the right side of the wall, the old wooden door that almost completely blended with the wooden wall caught attention.

I walked to the door, stretched out my hand and pushed it open, and the scene inside the house came into view.

The room is not large, only about 20 square meters, a wooden bed, one leg of the wooden bed is replaced by a stick, it looks like it may fall down at any time, sitting on the edge of the bed and making a creaking sound, as if it will fall apart at any time.

This is the bedroom, sit on the edge of the bed and keep your eyes wandering.

On the wall against the street there was a window with the curtains closed, and in front of the window was a desk.

In the left corner of the desk were stacks of books, each of which looked yellowed from the side and had raw edges, apparently having been turned countless times.

There was a bit of a musty smell in the room.

Get up, leave the bed, walk over to the desk and sit down.

There were two drawers in the desk, and the middle drawer opened a gap before I could reach out and look at it, and the light in the room suddenly dimmed a lot.

The candle in the corner of the table is almost finished!

Get up, move the candle from the outhouse in, and place it on the desk, and the light is restored.

Reaching out and pulling open the middle drawer, an inkwell exuded the fragrance of ink, and a bundle of candles simply tied up with burlap paper lay quietly, using a few of them, a little loose. In addition to this there is a pen made of some kind of bird feather, and at the very back is a book, which has also been turned over for a long time.

Maybe you can find the missing page, but in short, you must find a way back.
