Pengamu said, "So what? What do you want to do? There was a hint of wariness and distrust in his tone, and he didn't take my word for it easily.

The corners of my mouth hooked up a playful smile: "We can't find the location of the ruins for a while anyway, so let's open the box now and see what ...... inside."

"No way!" Peng Jiamu reacted very much, he looked at me angrily, his eyes flashed with anger: "I knew that you and that group of people were in the same group, and you all wanted to rob me of my research results, and you were sent by them, right?!" ”

I want to probe Pengamu's true intentions and see if he has the same goals as me.

I looked at his angry expression, and my heart moved slightly.

The reaction was unexpected, and I didn't expect him to react so strongly to my words.

Perhaps, he really has some important research results, and he is extremely vigilant about protecting this achievement.

I took a deep breath and tried to keep my composure.

I know that the key now is to stabilize Pengamu's emotions and convince him of my sincerity and willingness to cooperate.

"Pengamu, I can understand your doubts and worries. However, I am not a hostile person, I am an innocent person who has been drawn into this situation, and I am trying to find the truth. If we don't come together, maybe we won't be able to unravel this mystery and we won't be able to get out of here. ”

The expression on Pengamu's face gradually became complicated, and he seemed to be struggling internally.

I continued: "Pengamu, we are facing a huge conspiracy in which we are drawn and cannot avoid it. If we go our separate ways, we will all be in greater danger. And if we stick together and work together, maybe we can find the answer and solve this mystery. ”

I turned my head and looked at Pengamu.

There was still an angry look on his face, and there was a deep distrust in his eyes.

His body trembled slightly, as if he was struggling to control his emotions.

I understood that he was wrestling with the fear in his heart, and that was something I couldn't ignore.

I pondered quietly, trying to find a balance that would protect Pengamu's mental health and gain his trust.

I was in no hurry to uncover the secrets of the black leather case, because I knew it would be a huge burden for him.

He's been under so much pressure that I don't want him to be on the verge of breaking down again.

I walked slowly towards Pengamu, smiling and trying to ease his nerves.

"Pengamu, I understand your concerns about the black leather suitcase. However, we can't act rashly, especially when you're so tired.

You've been through a strenuous desert journey, and you've received a tremendous amount of information. I understand your confusion and concern, and I have felt it too.

However, we need to stay calm so that we can make the right decisions. "

Pengamu's eyes were a little confused, as if he had been touched by my words, but he was still skeptical.

I understand his feelings, after all, we are not partners who have known each other since the beginning, and he still has doubts about my true intentions.

I took a deep breath and decided to communicate with him in a sincere manner.

"Pengamu, I know we are strangers, but I am also an innocent person who has been caught up in this mystery.

I hope we can trust each other. I'm not your enemy, and we're all facing the same dilemma. "

I continued: "If you really don't want to open the box, forget it. As I told you, I'm from 2023 and you're from 1980, and I have no conflict of interest with you. Our goal is the same, get out of here. ”

Pengamu's brow furrowed slightly, but he remained on guard.

He stared at me, his expression revealing suspicion of me.

I understood his concern, after all, it was an unbelievable scenario.

I reached out and pointed to my clothes on his body, a slight sneering smile on the corner of my mouth.

"I'm okay, at least gentlemanly." I deliberately teased Pengamu, hoping to ease his nerves.

Pengamu tightened his clothes, his face a little embarrassed.

He pursed his lips, as if thinking about my words.

I watched his demeanor, and my heart was full of conflicting emotions.

The situation became more and more ironic, with Pengamu draped over me while I tried to convince him that I was from the future.

Pengamu also knew that he couldn't tear his face with me now, I was the only one who could take him out of here, although the outside world had been completely destroyed, he didn't know that in his heart, everything was hopeful.

You see, this world is like this, the less you know, the happier you are.

Pengamu abruptly changed the subject and said, "Have you gone to walk that labyrinth?" ”

"Labyrinth?" I asked, confused.

Pengamu blinked his eyes and said, "It's just that there is a maze on the mountain behind the rest stop, didn't you go?" ”

I waved my hand: "I didn't go to the maze. Did you go? What's the situation? Does the maze have anything to do with this? ”

Peng Jiamu nodded and continued: "After I took the box that the old man gave me, it was dark, so I could only sleep all night before leaving. I didn't have anything to do in the evening, so I went out......"

Pengamu slowly recounted the story of that night.

Pengamu walked through the doors and came to the backyard of the rest stop.

The scene here is even more peculiar, with a desert with verdant lawns and blooming flowers.

The moonlight shines through the clouds on the lawn, creating a warm atmosphere.

Pengamu carefully stepped on the lawn, feeling the softness and coolness under his feet, as if he was in a completely different world.

There were also some strangely shaped trees around, their branches and leaves swaying, as if silently telling something.

The roots of the trees are intertwined, and some even twist into human shapes, which are weird and creepy.

One of the trees is full of large and small flowers, and the petals give off a charming fragrance that Pengamu can't help but be drawn to.

He touched the petals lightly and felt a strange energy, as if these flowers contained some kind of secret.

Pengamu's heart beat faster, and he began to be curious and wary of the weirdness of this backyard.

Suddenly, a breeze blew, and the branches and leaves of the trees swayed, as if to tell Pengamu something.

He tried to capture the subtle movements of the foliage, but was never able to fully comprehend their intentions.

Pengamu looked around and saw that the entrance to the labyrinth was not far away.

A large circular stone wall rises from the ground, covered with intricate patterns, like a beautiful work of art.
