Following the man in front of her out of the soul chamber, Laura subconsciously looked up at the stone steps in front of her that began to spiral upward, and then shook her head.

She didn't say anything about what had happened to her before, but she was determined to take a good look at it this time.

The archaeologist girl wears an all-white modern winter coat with a light hue that helps blend in with the snow. She carried a bow and an arrow and a semi-automatic rifle, and a climbing axe and pistol dangled from her waist.

She held a digital video camera in one hand, examining the precious footage she had just taken, and in the other hand held a torch, the light of the flames slightly illuminating the darkness around her.

She had prepared a lot of fluorescent light sticks.

It's just that it will take nearly a month to crawl and roll in the Siberian wilderness, not to mention the consumption at other times, just when she explores some monuments and tombs, she has consumed at least two-thirds of her inventory.

After all, the size of the inventory is always limited, and after placing the necessary food and water, as well as important weapons and ammunition, as well as some medicines, spare clothes, etc., there is basically no "empty space".

The light stick can only be said to be auxiliary sundries, just like batteries and other things, it is okay to bring a spare, but she can't always carry it with a box.

Miss Crawford double-checked the images she had taken before putting away the digital camera and looking ahead. Mo Chen hadn't stopped her from recording those video materials before, and she didn't have any objections.

But she has been silent for so long, it seems that the atmosphere is a little depressing, and after hesitating for a moment, she seems to remember something, and frowns and says-

"By the way, I heard Jacob say that from this passage all the way down to the Soul Chamber, it's actually in another ...... Another space? ”

She paused slightly, and finally chose to say something that sounded at least slightly more scientific, and failed to take some mythical concept for granted.

After knowing the "reality" of the world, her past worldview was basically directly shattered.

But it always takes time to rebuild on top of the ruins, and the archaeologist girl is not so easy to accept the new worldview and quickly substitute for it.

"yes, you should see that big hollow, right? That was actually the underworld path that corroded the present world, but it was opened a long, long time ago, and now it is estimated that it has probably healed and closed......

Mo Chen walked ahead, answered the question casually, and shrugged his shoulders.

"However, the Soul Chamber is indeed in another dimension, and it was built when the space of the two worlds was directly connected at that time, and this passage is probably the main reason for preventing the space on both sides from completely healing and separating."

"...... the underworld? Wait, what exactly is the path of the underworld? ”

Miss Crawford didn't understand this awkward term too much, and immediately raised her eyebrows. In fact, she couldn't understand the whole paragraph, but first found the most incomprehensible one to ask.

She's been feeling this way for a long time, and although this guy seems to be able to communicate fluently with anyone, that feeling has always been ......

Very subtle and different -

How so? It's really hard to describe that feeling anyway.

What she had to say was probably like the language the other person was speaking, but it wasn't English at all, and it wasn't any language she knew.

It's just that words contain unimaginable and magical magic, acting on the level of hearing and shockwaves, and naturally conveying the meaning that the other person wants to express to the person who hears the sound.

However, human cognition and perception are unable to comprehend this "abnormality", so the subconscious mind of the brain unconsciously corrects the sounds it hears.

- The voice subconsciously repeats the other person's words in line with what the other person wants to convey, so it sounds as if the other person is talking to you in fluent English.

It's just that this kind of magic effect is still not really fluent in language, so there will be flaws.

For example, when something pops up inexplicably as if it were a made-up word, and you seem to understand what the other person means, but you can't actually understand it...... Perhaps most people will just think that they didn't hear clearly and couldn't confirm it.

But for Miss Crawford, this can already be regarded as a doubt.

It's just that there is no problem with doubts, anyway, there are a lot of doubts on Mo Chen's body, which made Miss Crawford feel that there are countless secrets in the past, but now it just proves this even more.

"It is the passage of the underworld, you can simply understand it as the gate of hell, its appearance will strip away a large space and all the matter in its original place......"

Mo Chen quickly thought about it for a while, and quickly organized the language to explain the noun he had just given without much thought.

"That big hole was a passage to the underworld that was opened at the beginning, and it was indeed a direct path to hell at that time...... Don't be so surprised, Laura, you should learn to accept the fact that space like mythological geography does exist. ”

When he looked back, he found that the girl's slender eyebrows had been tightly twisted, and he couldn't help laughing.

Miss Crawford exhaled vigorously and nodded her head again and again, as if perfunctory: "OK, OK...... I know, I'm just, I just think it's going to take me a little bit to get used to, can you understand? ”

"Well, it's not that I can't understand it, after all, you're receiving a lot of information in a short period of time, and you're still the kind of person who can't believe it...... Your mental thinking must have weakened a lot now. ”

Mo Chen smiled again, turned his head and continued to move forward, striding up the long spiraling staircase, the sound of clear footsteps echoing in the darkness.

Because the girl was right behind him with a torch, the firelight dragged his shadow long and ghostly.

“……”

“……”

Miss Crawford opened her mouth again, but remained silent.

Now that she had calmed down a little, countless questions had surfaced in her mind, but she was too embarrassed to ask too urgently, lest she appear too unreserved and aggressive.

Besides, the girl is still suspicious, and she is somewhat concerned about what kind of state the other party is in now.

Why is it here?

Why did it become like this?

Why do you say that you have been asleep for 500 years?

……

Why? Why? Why? …… She had 100,000 whys to know, because she had so many things she couldn't figure out, and the existing clues were obviously not enough to support her to make up for it on her own and come to a reasonable conclusion.

It's just that after all, Mo Chen, who has become a little, no, is a very stranger, which makes her feel a little scrupled, for fear that the other party is no longer the person she knows.

At least for a short time, it will not immediately return to the same level of familiarity as before, and Miss Crawford feels that she needs to take it step by step and take care of it.

So she didn't choose to ask about the things she was most concerned about, but which she felt might be very sensitive. She felt that even if she asked the same question at different levels of friendliness, the result could be very different.

But reality is not a game, she may only have one chance many times, and Mo Chen is not a fixed NPC who can answer questions no matter what time it is, as long as the mouse is a little bit.

Therefore –

Worried that she would get some bad answers, Miss Crawford decided not to touch what was likely to be a minefield until she had reverted to her previous friendship, and until she was sure how the other person had changed.

"Well, is that crystal in your hand the Divine Source?"

After thinking about it for a while, she still inquired first about the most obvious thing, and even Mo Chen didn't even think to hide it.

"Yes, but the name is wrong, it's not holy at all...... And there is no infinite power either. ”

Mo Chen really didn't mind answering, and a calm voice sounded in the spiraling staircase passage, faintly echoing.

……

……

This time.

There doesn't seem to be the strange situation in this staircase that makes it feel as if the concept of time has disappeared.

It was only when Miss Crawford racked her brains to satisfy her curiosity and carefully grasped the scale of various questions that when she came out, she suddenly realized that she still did not understand the length of the staircase.

The heavy stone door rumbled to the sides because of the mechanism, making a dull sound, and the light outside instantly made the girl feel that only a dazzling white was left in front of her.

"Be careful, there's an undead legion out there......"

She subconsciously reminded her companion, and vigilantly held the semi-automatic rifle on her back in her hand.

After all, she clearly remembered how many undead humanoid monsters were patrolling and guarding the hall outside.

Previously, it was the attack of the Holy Trinity that caused the defense of the main hall to be flawed, but now the Holy Trinity has been completely destroyed, which is what she confirmed with Ross and the others through the radio before exploring the Soul Chamber.

In that case, if those monsters come back to life......

"You're in a really bad mental state right now, and your thinking skills have weakened a lot, Laura." Mo Chen sighed and gently reached out and pressed down the muzzle of her gun.

"Huh?"

After adjusting her eyes to the light of the hall outside, Miss Crawford realized that there was no trace of the undead army at all, not even the blue fire ashes after they were killed.

Kit City further outside is also silent, silent, as if it is like this, all the undead legions have directly evaporated?

"I used the undead to defend this ancient city because the human mind is not suitable for such a thing, and it cannot be held on forever for hundreds of years...... Now that I've woken up, I don't need them. ”

Mo Chen said as a matter of course.

He looked around, and then walked out of the main hall without stopping, and the ancient city outside was presented to him.

The sky is solid and blue, with thick ice that has not melted through the ages, and the legendary city is surrounded by huge glaciers...... The distance of at least 100 meters upwards is the real surface -

Permafrost in the depths of the Siberian wilderness.

This is a lost city frozen under a glacier and lost to the world.

"Do you know, Laura, this Kit City is not actually the original Kit City, but it is just the name of the city built by Jacob and his people......" With a slightly nostalgic gaze, Mo Chen said to the archaeologist girl behind him.

"I had such a suspicion, after all, if the Mongols had attacked Kit City, then it must have not been five hundred years ago, but much earlier......"

Miss Crawford replied.

She looked up and saw that the entire city had become quiet, and the undead legions seemed to have all disappeared, but the corpses of the Holy Trinity soldiers were everywhere.

"You can contact Ross and Jacob now and let them in, this is our real home base from now on......"

Mo Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth, he was about to show off in front of Miss Crawford.

"Huh? Base camp? Wait, the specs of this place are too big, right? How can there be so many of us! Miss Crawford didn't notice this, but her eyes widened at once.

"Yes, Jacob and his people in the geothermal valley will be able to occupy half of the number......"

Mo Chen replied disappreciatively, a strange light flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Not to mention the Williams consortium that he just got before, he also planted a number of "nails" five hundred years ago, even if only half of them succeeded, at least several ancient families have passed them down, right?

Besides, if a legendary character like him goes out for a walk, there must be many forces such as magic associations that have been refreshed that don't mind offering their loyalty to him.
