Stern slept peacefully, until he suddenly noticed a blinding light shining in front of him, he first blocked it with his hand, his eyelids moved, then he half-squinted, and then saw a green shade in front of him and the sunlight shining on him in the green shade.

Then a gentle woman's voice sounded in his ears: "Sergeant, are you awake?" That's great! Donnie go and pour him some water to drink. ”

"Is it Anne? I seem to be able to see things with my eyes! ”

"That's right, your whole body has been swollen, of course you can see it! This is thanks to the herbs of Kansa. ”

"Yes, I remember that Kansa found some leaves and grass fruit for me to chew, saying it was a detoxification. But why did I fall asleep in the back? ”

"I don't know, maybe this Kansa herb may have a hypnotic effect! By the way, Sergeant, how are you feeling now? ”

"It's not bad, it's much more comfortable."

Stern moved his hands and feet, his eyes could see clearly, and the puffiness on his body had disappeared. He saw that he was leaning against a huge Bodhi tree, surrounded by greenery, which was very cool.

He remembered that after Anne inserted the lotus lamp into the socket, the stone door opened from the bottom up like a stone gate. He then learns from Anne and Donnie along the way that after they go out of the stone gate, there is a long grotto corridor outside, and Anne suggests that the one with the light go away. Then we came to a very large courtyard, full of various tropical fruit trees, surrounded by a wall, and beyond the wall was a towering forest. Then Kansa went to the yard and picked some unknown leaves, grass and fruits for him to eat, saying that they had a detoxifying effect.

He ate it and fell asleep, until he opened his eyes and saw the scene before him, just as Anne had said.

But Stern noticed that Anne was a little worried between her eyebrows, and her mouth was a little ready to speak.

"Anne, what's wrong with you?"

"We found the professor's traces while we were picking fruit."

"What?"

Stern held the kettle in his hand, and just put it to his lips, when he heard this, he moved the kettle away. Professor Morrill, who had been separated from them for nearly two nights, returned to their sight after coming to Samsara City with an unknown purpose.

Stern looked at Anne with a worried but somewhat overwhelmed expression, and suddenly understood, and Anne told him that he meant to follow the trail to find the professor. But at the moment, there is no need for Stern to say that everyone knows about it, and the next step should be to leave Reincarnation City, because they have no equipment, except for a bundle of hemp rope, a kettle, a few daggers and a box of matches on their bodies, nothing else.

Before Stern could speak, Anne said, "I know that our situation is not suitable to continue looking for the professor, but I am still very worried about him, he has no weapons on his body, what if he encounters danger in this reincarnation city?" So I wondered if I could find him first, and then I could convince him to take him out of Samsara City. What do you think? ”

Stern couldn't bear to look Anne in the eye, because he didn't know how to refuse her, and instead looked at Donnie next to him, wanting to ask his opinion.

Donnie saw Stern looking at him and immediately said, "I... I don't know, it's still the sergeant you decide! ”

This is really a difficult choice for Stern, if he hadn't been dragged into the stone chamber by the tarantula, Stern would definitely use his responsibility as the leader of the expedition to find the professor, but now the professor himself first broke away from the team, and then he was bitten and poisoned by the tarantula because he found him, and he has not fully recovered.

And this is secondary, and another very important reason is that when they escaped from the stone chamber, they learned about the strange creatures raised by the Khmer people inside, which shows that there may still be a terrifying threat like a giant tarantula and a giant snake in the whole reincarnation city.

And, of course, the final scene of that nightmare that I had while being unconscious in a tarantula lair......

The combination of all these reasons made Stern very tangled, his straight eyebrows twisted together, both wanting to find the professor, but also afraid of risking his life again.

Anne looked at Stern with a difficult expression, and she probably understood what Stern was worried about at the moment.

So she said a little disappointed: "I know, since that's the case, then you can find your own way out of Samsara City." I went to the professor myself. As he spoke, he turned and left.

"Wait, Annie, I have a question for you."

"Where do you think the professor will go?"

Anne was a little surprised, and said without thinking: "With the purpose of the professor's trip, if he doesn't find the reincarnation temple, he probably won't stop, so he must go to the reincarnation temple." ”

"Then how far do you think this place is from the Temple of Reincarnation? Can I go to the temple of reincarnation before dark? ”

"This is already a man-made building complex, according to my judgment, if Samsara City builds other man-made buildings around the Samsara Temple, then it means that this place is definitely not very far from the center. I looked at the nearby terrain and vegetation, and there were not too many dense forests, so if there were no accidents, I guess I could reach the temple before dark. ”

"That's good, I'm thinking now that we can find the professor, maybe we can also find a more convenient way to leave Samsara City."

"What?" Anne looked at Stern fixedly, not knowing what he meant by the second half of his sentence, but she thought about it and knew what Stern meant by the convenient method. The professor told Stern the night before they fled from the grotto

It is said that the temple is located upstream of the river leading to the outside of the city, where there are wooden boats used by the Khmer people to transport various building materials and other materials in the past, and if these wooden boats are still in the temple and have not decayed, then they can easily use the boats to go down the river and return to the real world.

"I see you mean the ship, but ......"

Anne knew very well that all of this was an unknown, even if the professor was still alive, and the thought of this showed a wave of worry in Anne's eyebrows.

When Stern saw Anne's worried look, he thought she was worried about her own safety, and he felt a lot of comfort. After all, he said this, partly for her sake, and didn't want her to risk alone, so he had to find a reason for himself to go to the professor with her.

Thinking of this, he said to Anne, "Since it has been decided, what are you waiting for?" Let's pack up and go. ”

Downey saw that Stern had decided to go to the professor, and instead of showing any objection, he quipped, "Sergeant, where do we have anything to pack, besides the fruit we just picked, and a jug of water." ”

At this moment, everyone showed a smile that they hadn't seen in many days, and even Kansa, who couldn't understand what they were saying, showed a line of white teeth. Maybe it's because of the aftermath of the disaster, everyone's mood is much lighter.

So the four of them began to walk through the grotto forest under the bright sun.

"Annie, where did you say the professor's trail was?"
