Chapter 49: Diary
The two walked into the bunker building, only to see a table against the wall opposite, and a notebook in an open drawer.
Laura walked up quickly and picked up the notebook, blew the dust off the cover, and opened it.
"It's ...... Matthias's diary! Laura's eyes widened slightly, and a low exclamation came out of her mouth, "The date is ...... 13 October 1990. ”
"He had been here for eight years at that time." Su Bai said, "In eight years, he should have a certain understanding of the situation on this island." Laura, see if there's any other useful information on it. ”
"Okay, let me see ......" Laura scrutinized the diary.
After a moment, she put down her notebook and turned her head to look at Su Bai: "In it, he recorded his intention to recruit followers to establish an organization, which should be the current Solari sect." He seems to have a plan. In addition, he mentions the real secret behind the storm. ”
"The real secret behind the storm?"
"That's right, but there's no more detailed description in it." Laura sighed, "Sue, I feel like this island is getting more and more mysterious now. Just like the Yamatai Kingdom and the Sun Queen thousands of years ago. ”
"Okay, since you can't figure it out, don't think about it yet. We've reached the tower, and now all we have to do is go over and send a distress signal and get out of here with everyone. As for the secrets, I'll leave them all to the archaeologists who come here later. Su Bai reached out and gently pressed it on her shoulder and said.
Laura nodded and put the notebook in her bag.
"Let's go, Sue."
The two of them went up the stairs to the top of the bunker tower.
The wind and snow are coming, and the chill is biting. The chirping of crows echoed in the sky, adding to the desolation and melancholy.
Laura shivered, her lips turning blue.
Su Bai hurriedly hugged her petite body tightly into his arms. When he looked around, he saw a shed on his left, with a blanket on the ground and a fire, and immediately walked towards the girl with his arms in his arms.
Let Laura sit down with her back to the wind, and then he sits next to the girl and blocks the wind and snow with his body.
"How's it going, are you feeling better?"
Su Bai put his arm around Laura and asked with concern.
The girl shrank into his arms, rested her head lightly on his chest, and did not speak.
Su Bai looked to the side, and the towering tower was next to the blockhouse.
"Let's go climb the tower when the snow stops, at least when it's smaller. And it's not too early, it's too dangerous to go now. ”
Laura snorted, "Listen to you." ”
Su Bai wrapped his hands around the petite body in his arms and did not speak.
The two rested for a moment, and Laura took out the notebook she had just found from her bag and flipped through the pages one by one.
"There's also a page of the diary here." Flipping and turning, her movements stopped, "I didn't even notice it just now." ”
"Look at what is written?"
Su Bai rested her chin on the girl's shoulder and looked at the notebook she was holding.
"The date on it is September 17, 1982, shortly after Matthias was shipwrecked on the island."
"Speaking of which, how on earth did he remember the date so clearly? Even if there is a calendar, it can't even be a calendar for 1990 eight years later, right? Hearing this, Su Bai couldn't help but complain.
"Maybe he used some method to record it." Laura guessed, continuing to look at the diary in her hand.
After a few moments, she said disappointedly, "There's still nothing new in here." ”
Didn't he mention that a mysterious queen was the cause of everything? It should be Himiko, the queen of the sun. Su Bai said, "There is also the so-called mysterious power, could it be the queen's shamanic spell?" ”
Laura suddenly laughed: "Oh, so didn't the queen live for more than a thousand years? Is she a god? ”
"Maybe." Su Bai shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's see if there is no third diary." ”
Laura nodded, flipped back, and found another journal.
"This time it's September 6, 1982." She looked intently at the diary as she spoke.
Su Bai also looked at the diary.
In his diary, Matthias recorded that he watched the other survivors who had fallen with him try to escape by boat, only to die in a storm.
According to the previous diary, the men would have done so at Matthias's suggestion. However, he deceived these people in order to observe the storm.
Seeing this, Su Bai gasped, only to feel a chill behind him.
Laura's face was even more angry: "That guy ...... To do such a cold-blooded and cruel thing! He's a true villain! Executioner! ”
"We expected that, didn't we?" Su Bai pinched Laura's shoulder, "Calm down, Laura." Read on to see what this guy has discovered by sacrificing the lives of his fellow soldiers. ”
Laura took a hard breath to calm herself down and continued to look behind.
In the second half of the diary, Matthias recorded his findings.
The storm appeared out of thin air, disappeared out of thin air, and occurred in a localized area. He believes that this is not a natural phenomenon, but some kind of deliberate venting.
"Emotions? This is simply ridiculous. Laura put down her notebook, "That guy is crazy, he's talking nonsense. ”
"Not necessarily, Laura." Su Bai shook his head, "I think that guy probably really discovered something." As you said before, there will always be some basis for the legends. Besides, the Chinese envoy also said some strange things in his own records, didn't he? ”
Laura still stuck to her opinion: "I think it should be some kind of natural phenomenon, Sue. A phenomenon that modern science cannot yet explain. ”
"Maybe." Su Bai was noncommittal, and then changed the subject, "In short, no matter what the facts are, we just need to send a distress signal and get out of here." ”
"You're right." Laura also stopped worrying about the records in the diary and nodded.
Then she flipped through the pages again, but she couldn't find a fourth diary. So he put the diary back in his bag and took out the food.
The two simply ate something, said goodnight to each other, and snuggled up to sleep.
Outside, the wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier.
……
The next morning, when the two woke up, the snow had stopped. The sky was clear.
"Oh, what a nice day."
Laura stood up and stretched.
"Good morning, Laura." Su Bai smiled and looked at the girl who had become lively again, "How was your rest last night?" ”
"Good morning, Sue." Laura turned around, looked at Su Bai, and blinked her eyes, "Very good." Because I stayed in the safest and warmest place in the world. ”
"Is my arms the safest and warmest place in the world?" Su Bai pretended to be surprised and said.
"Of course." Laura nodded and said seriously, "At least in my eyes." ”
"Well, thank you for the compliment, Laura."
Su Bai couldn't help but have a smile on his face, and then looked up at the tower in front of him.
"Now, it's time to finish the final mission."
