Dr. Nguyen Li's trust in her friend Gus is beyond my comprehension, maybe I can compare my heart to my heart and use my own feelings for the person I love to make an analogy, but in this person who has not yet met Gus, it is difficult to have such feelings. Dr. Nguyen's trust in Gus seems to be the basis for her perception of something abnormal.

"Why do you die if you break the agreement? Mom, what did you do to him? I couldn't help but ask.

"It's not that I did anything, it's that he used to say it, and I believe him." Dr. Nguyen Le calmed down and explained to me: "When Gus found this underground river, something happened to him, and he didn't tell me what it was, but he just told me that if I decided to leave this underground river, he would be ready for me, and as long as we didn't join him, he wouldn't enter the underground river, and if he broke this agreement, he would die." ”

"Sounds mysterious. Mom, do you believe him? I said.

"Yes, he's a man you can trust." "I don't know why he said that, but there must be a reason why I don't understand," Dr. Nguyen Le said. Since he said so, I would have believed him. ”

I really didn't expect that Dr. Nguyen Li would have such a good friend who he trusted so much during the seminar.

Dr. Nguyen Le said that Gus would not enter the underground river alone, and that if he violated this agreement, he would die before entering. Dr. Nguyen Le is not an expert in mysteries, and I don't think she would have done anything to this friend Gus, so why did Gus die? Is there something wrong with him, or is he keeping his promise to the point where he will defend it with his life?

I've also had the experience of using my life to defend certain things, and I understand that there must be such a person in the world, but I don't know Gus, and I haven't even seen him with my own eyes, so so. I can't imagine him being such a person.

I can only remain silent about Dr. Nguyen Lê's statement, because this kind of trust of Dr. Nguyen Le is also very unusual in my opinion. Moreover, my confidence in that Gus friend is definitely not as strong as that of Dr. Nguyen Li.

"Gus is dead." Dr. Nguyen Li stroked the mark, and she stood up suddenly. Say to me, "Let's dig up here." ”

I was surprised by her decision and thought it was a very sudden decision, but the decisiveness of Dr. Nguyen's actions made me feel that I had no choice but to come forward to help. We took branches and long stones, pried open the marked stones, and scooped up the soft wet mud underneath. After only a few digs, the wet mud below suddenly collapsed. It's as if there's a huge hole down there.

"Don't dig it! Get out of here! I shouted to her, as Chain Judge had felt how intense the activity was below.

The collapse of the wet mud was very rapid, and the collapse of the chain even showed obvious cracks where we were standing, and I hurriedly pulled Dr. Nguyen Li and ran away, and as soon as the front foot moved, the collapse of the river bank began to chase the back foot.

I grabbed Dr. Nguyen Li and rushed out fifty meters in one go, and the vibration of the entire underground river channel gradually subsided. Looking back, there was only a large deep hole in the ground. I can't see the bottom even if I shine it with a flashlight. There was a very clear flow in the darkness, and Dr. Nguyen Li and I looked at each other. The first thing I thought of was those threads of darkness that had spilled out before the second time I entered the water. Dr. Nguyen Le thought of the same scenario. The tremors came and went so fast that they made me think that this section of the ground was about to collapse, but the river was only cut by a deep hole, and the river poured into the hole, forming a long waterfall.

We're on this side. It was completely cut off from the side from which it came, but the water level in the river on our side did not drop and the direction of the flow did not change. Dr. Nguyen Le and I walked to the perimeter of the big cave. Feel the flow of the underground river, although there is no water on the cave wall on our side, but the flow of the river gives the impression that there is water gushing up from under the cave and continuing to flow along the river.

It was so strange that even Dr. Nguyen Le frowned, completely unable to use his scientific knowledge to come to a careful and logical conclusion.

"Not an illusion." Dr. Nguyen Le took her hand out of the river, and at first she seemed to think that seeing such an incredible scene was due to the erosion of her spirit by the white Claudia, but now she herself denied it.

For me, this is the embodiment of "mystery", but this reason does not make sense to Dr. Nguyen Li, so I said, "Is it a matter of space?" ”

The problem of space can be created by "mystery" or "science". The incredible scene in front of him is just a phenomenon that can be explained from different angles, but for Dr. Nguyen Li, it is probably "some kind of phenomenon that follows natural science" that is more in line with his heart.

However, Dr. Nguyen Le did not pursue this. I know very well that she never puts more effort into the sciences than psychology and biology, and this single-mindedness is one of the reasons why she has achieved extraordinary results in the science she has studied in her field. Just like now, it is her common knowledge to describe the situation in front of her with terms such as "space transformation" that are large and empty, but what kind of scientific space theory is not within her scope of concern.

"That's probably why Gus is marking here." Dr. Nguyen Le said.

This conclusion is too lightweight, but I have nothing to say. Why Gus made a mark here, what the mark was trying to tell us, or whether it was intended to conceal or deceive, is not something we can understand now. It is no accident that digging at the mark left by Gus only triggered some kind of mechanism, and then this large hole appeared.

"We can't go down." I said to Dr. Nguyen Li. It's a lie, though, and with the QuickSweep Super, I'm confident I can try to explore below, but why bother? We came here to follow the underground river all the way forward in order to cross the border between the peninsula and the hinterland. Our road ahead has not been cut off by this accident, and if we are still on the other side of this big hole, of course we can only choose to enter the cave or go back. However, the situation now is that our retreat has been cut off and we must keep moving forward.

Worst-case scenario. Of course, there is a dead end ahead, and then we have no way to advance or retreat, and we have to find another way out of this underground river.

"Let's go, Mom." I pulled Dr. Nguyen Le up. She looked like she wanted to solve the mystery of Gus, and the hole was like a puzzle that was tantalizing and deep. Under the flowing darkness, I don't know what strange things are. Or a vast and magnificent scene. On the other side of the darkness is the unknown, which is frightening and full of imagination. The unknown is intimidating, while imagination is coveted.

I pulled Dr. Nguyen Le to keep walking, and I could feel her hesitation in her steps, but with my toughness, she eventually stayed away from the big hole. I walked very fast, and maybe in Dr. Nguyen Li's feelings, I was like a scared child. Let's escape from the unknown.

The winding river is not straight, and the darkness underground, so that the range of vision is greatly limited, so there is an illusion that I have been moving forward. In fact, when we left thirty meters away and looked back, we could only vaguely see the outline of the large hole, and this vagueness. It's just an illusion that what the naked eye sees is left in the mind. We didn't really "see", but only the impression that it stayed there.

Another fifty meters forward. Dr. Nguyen Li's steps finally became brisk, probably away from the big hole, and her swaying heart finally made a decision. I was relieved that there were so many oddities along the way, and although the itinerary wasn't too tortuous, it made people feel like the enemy was lurking in it. I don't know what the other side is thinking, but they have been delaying the attack on us.

This ambiguity surrounded by hostility is like tapping lightly on the edge of a porcelain jar, listening to sounds, and in this way detecting some important details. It makes people feel that the other party is using the information in these details to make some preparations, and it is precisely because they don't know what the other party's purpose is, so it makes people feel uneasy.

The Lady in Red, the large number of invisible human figures, the large hollow that appeared at the Gus marker, this anomaly was like a piece of a puzzle, and an invisible hand was putting the pieces together. If, when I first arrived, I thought that Dr. Nguyen Li's escape plan still had three more chances, now I feel that there is only one floor left. The enemy's preparations here seem to be more adequate than those done by Dr. Nguyen Lê.

I'm starting to feel that it's no easier to choose an underground river as a breakthrough than to break through from the surface.

Dr. Ruan Li also seemed to notice something, and his face remained very solemn.

After walking for a long time, we chose a dry and secluded place to set up camp. Judging by the timer time, another day passed quickly, and since we dodged the big hole, we had a safe trip for the rest of the day. However, the journey to the underground river is so long and dark, and as time passes, the psychological pressure grows day by day. Dr. Nguyen Le and I checked the water and food we were carrying and decided to use the ecosystem of the underground river to be self-sufficient, but the flora and fauna here are so rare that Dr. Nguyen Le couldn't tell what was edible and what was not.

As always, I lit a fire and threw the ingredients I had picked and hunted onto the hot stones. Dr. Nguyen Li took out a notebook full of tags from his suitcase and looked at it. This is the data collected from various experiments that she has done using the equipment of the seminar, and I can't understand it, but I understand what Dr. Nguyen Le wants to do. She plans to organize the data after I took the park and further design the "park" for mass production.

The world of the Repeater is getting closer and closer to the apocalyptic vision, and I have the feeling that I am participating in the details of the evolutionary history. However, this Repeater World will be destroyed before it becomes another apocalyptic illusion.

When the food was ready, I grabbed everything and ate it, and it took ten minutes for Dr. Ruan Li to take a bite. Dr. Nguyen Li intends to resist, but I can now use my physical fitness to suppress her without any worries. Dr. Nguyen Le could only smile wryly, but for me, this expression was better than a painful expression.

"If we had taken the route calculated by Gus, then we would have left the peninsula in three days." Dr. Nguyen Le frowned, eating the grilled fish made from oddly shaped fish, and I knew very well how disgusting it tasted, "At best, we're halfway there." ”

I know very well that such words are just a kind of comfort to regulate psychological stress. I am not so fragile, but I feel that Dr. Nguyen Li needs this kind of speech to regulate himself. She's just an ordinary person, and although she's encountered many storms in the past, she won't be as thrilling as this time. While I was battling the other mysterious experts, she was also in a wrestling with many clever people, using each other to complete experiments, and she had to find a way out. Just like I fought against multiple occult organizations, she fought against an entire seminar with only a small amount of capital.

However, since we insist on ideas that conflict with others, it is helpless to become in such a situation.

Unable to distinguish between day and night in the underground river, Dr. Nguyen Le felt tired and rolled up with a blanket and lay down by the campfire. I can't sleep, I can't sleep, Dr. Nguyen Le is an ordinary person, or a woman, and her physical fitness is simply not enough to support the task of the vigil. I found my favorite Camel cigarette from my suitcase, pulled one out, fiddled with the campfire, lit it, and smoked quietly. The chain of judgments has been unfolding, monitoring movements within a radius of fifty meters.

Unconsciously, I felt a sense of déjà vu, as if I had been sometime in the past, watching over someone in the dark of night, quietly smoking. Even if you are in a different place, you don't usually feel anything, but at this moment, it seems that even the breath, heartbeat, and smell have become familiar.

The firelight was beating, and there seemed to be scenes circulating in the flames, which I couldn't see clearly but had a vague illusion, which made me immerse myself in it unconsciously. But I didn't think about anything, and my heart was so calm.

In this tranquility, something suddenly jumps, like a ripple as the leaves fall on the calm surface of a lake. I snapped up and threw my half-burned cigarette into the campfire. This movement is felt by the chain decision, something foreign, and disappears before the chain judgment can outline it. That's certainly not your average underground creature.

Suddenly, a chill grew in the air, and Dr. Nguyen Le made a dreamy sound, his expression was a little painful, and his body wrapped in a blanket curled up as if he was having a nightmare. I stepped forward and grabbed her hand, but instead of being as alert as before, she seemed to be sinking deeper and deeper into a nightmare. Then, as if subconsciously, she grabbed my hand as well.
