Since finding the notes left by Song Yixing's father, Ni Xueer seems to have found the motivation to live again. She spent her days shuttling through libraries and websites, always searching for materials about Atlantis. However, the library and the website are all open to citizens, and it is impossible to involve more secrets. So she didn't hesitate to beg her uncle to get as much secrecy as possible from the government department.

However, after all, it is a super-ancient civilization, which has long been annihilated in the long river of history, and although the government attaches great importance to this aspect, the research time is not too long, and the difficulty of investigating this aspect makes there very little useful information.

Song Yixing's father was one of the first scientists to study ultra-ancient civilizations. It can be said that most of the information in the possession of the government comes from them, and Ni Xueer has already seen them.

In the past few days when Ni Xueer was busy looking for information, Li Yong was not idle, he had been paying attention to the movements on Spratly Island. Half a year has passed, and the blockade there has begun to be lifted, it is said that since that accident, the ruins have been extremely unstable, and there will be a lot of shaking at both ends in three days, and the entire site has almost sunk under the sand until now, and there is a scientific expedition that is nearing the end, so the supervision here is not so strict, but Uncle Ni Xueer is a strict ban on Ni Xueer's going. Seven days later, the ruins of Atlantis on Spratly Island sank completely under the sand. Then it was back to normal, as if nothing had happened there.

Then Ni Xueer and her uncle had an unprecedented conflict, Li Yong only knew that they had been arguing on the phone for a long time, but he didn't know what they were arguing about. What can be known is that there was an opportunity to meet with the captain of this scientific expedition, and the meeting place was in their city.

Ni Xueer was very direct, she couldn't manage so much for Song Yixing, so she immediately made an appointment with that person in the afternoon when she got the news.

The captain of this scientific expedition team is also the person in charge, Hu Lao. All of his men were replaced after the accident, but he was not replaced as the person in charge of the operation. That's why he's the one who knows the whole thing the most.

After seeing Ni Xue'er, Hu Lao said very politely: "Leader, you really make me a little scared when you meet me in person!"

Ni Xue'er was upright, and said plainly: "Okay, so much nonsense, you know my true identity, and you know my purpose, I don't want to listen to you so much nonsense." ”

Hu Lao looked embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "I am the person in charge of this operation, and I am deeply sorry for this accident, but this is a super ancient civilization, it is too weird, and we really can't guarantee safety!"

Ni Xue'er looked at him, a little angry: "I don't want this! I want the results of this investigation!"

Hu Lao said, "Okay!" and then he took out a USB drive and handed it to Ni Xue'er. "That's all the results of our expedition. ”

Ni Xueer took the USB drive and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Hu Lao suddenly spoke. Ni Xue'er paused and stopped.

"You're here for Song Yixing's kid!"

Ni Xue'er turned around and looked at him incredulously, thinking, "How could he know that Yixing and I didn't have an exposed relationship at all!"

Hu Lao said again: "The moment Yixing just got on the boat, I knew that he was coming. I knew the danger below, but I didn't stop him!He had the right to know the cause of his father's death!But now I hate myself even more for not stopping him, for not keeping my promise to his father!" he slapped on the table, the expression on his face was pained.

Ni Xue'er stopped and returned to her seat, but she didn't say a word.

"When my father and I came out of Kunlun Mountain, we made a pact that if one of us died, the remaining one would help each other take care of the family. And I didn't keep my promise!"

Only then did Ni Xueer know that he was the one who escaped from Kunlun Mountain with Song Yixing's father. She said in disbelief: "You are on an archaeological team with Yixing's father?"

"Yes, there were twelve people when the country formed our team, but now I am the only one left!" he let out a long sigh!

"I know all the things in Kunlun Mountain, what happened to you later, what happened to Yixing's father and you back then?" Ni Xue'er asked.

"The ruins of Atlantis were also discovered in the South Pacific that year, and we and other newly incorporated members were sent to investigate. It was also an underwater expedition, and the first two days were smooth sailing, and on the third day, the people we sent down had not been seen for two hours. We had agreed that each dive should not exceed an hour, but no matter how we called them, they just wouldn't come up. And everything is still working on their communication with us. We can still receive messages from them very normally, and we can clearly receive the video they send back. Yixing's father and I both felt abnormal, according to normal speaking, they had already run out of oxygen, and we told them to evacuate urgently, but they just tried to report to us how strange it was below, expressing their shock to us, and even some feelings of worship. ”

The more Ni Xue'er listened, the more scared she became, she really felt that this was too weird.

Hu Lao continued: "Before I know it, three hours have passed, and it is impossible to use oxygen for three hours! We decided to send someone down to call them back, but at this time, the people above were panicked, and none of them dared to go down. Because Yixing's father is our person in charge, he can't go down, so I can only go down. Just as I was about to go down, Yixing stopped me and said, 'You still have a lot of family members to take care of, and I am Yixing one, your family can't live without you, if you go down, then I have to take care of the family, and if I go down, you only need to take care of one more person.' After saying that, he looked at me with resolute eyes, and then said, 'Take good care of Yixing for me,' and then he went down. Less than half an hour after he went down, there was a violent explosion below, and by the time we found him a month later, he was a dried corpse. ”

Ni Xue'er almost exclaimed, "What? How could there be such a strange thing?"

Hu Lao's face was almost full of tears after passing, and it could be seen that he was not only heartbroken, but also deeply afraid.

"You know what? Even though they are soaked in sea water all day, their bodies don't absorb any water. When we found it, it was so shriveled that everyone could hold them up all the time!" he was in great pain.

After a long time, he relented, and he said, "I know you want to find Yixing, I am telling you so much just to let you know the danger of those things, it is better not to touch them or not!"

Ni Xue'er said: "Thank you, but I won't give up, as long as I don't find him one day, I will continue to look for him!"

"Okay, then I'll tell you about the Atlantean site we're visiting. To be honest, it's not very comprehensive in the USB drive, and I have some speculations of my own. ”

"Please speak!" This time Ni Xue'er was very polite.

"According to my research on this ruin, it seems that his architectural pattern is very exquisite, and if you zoom out the whole ruin, you will find that it seems to be a strange pattern. This pattern is very particular, and if it is used to correspond to some of the 28 constellations in China, it can be completely corresponding. Looking at its quadripartite corresponding pattern, the architectural style of the concentric circle pattern is similar to that of Tai Chi. ”

Ni Xue'er couldn't help frowning when she heard this, she felt a little familiar when she saw the holographic projection of this ruins, it turned out to be like this. She said, "So you say that the complex was built according to some law, which means that it might have some purpose?"

Hu Lao said: "I don't know about this. But I'm sure that the place where you and Yixing had an accident is the center of this building, and if you look at the Bagua Diagram, it's just the Bagua Diagram!"

"I see!" said Ni Xue'er, "I probably know." We inadvertently triggered something that caused the buildings here to change. In other words, as long as we find a way again, it is possible to cause another mutation, so that Yixing may come back!"

Hu Lao said: "Having said that, but this ruin has sunk, how can it be triggered?" His words were tantamount to pouring a basin of cold water on Ni Xue'er. That's right, the ruins have sunk, and there's no way to trigger them again.

Ni Xue'er was a little disappointed, and after a while, she said, "There will still be a way!"

Hu Lao seemed to suddenly think of something, and he said: "I seem to have seen that pattern somewhere, you let me think about it." ”

Ni Xue'er didn't interrupt him, this may be the only hope for her.

After about half an hour, Hu Lao's forehead was already covered with sweat, and he could see his pain at the moment, and suddenly he said: "I know where I have seen it, it is in the Mayan cave in South America! At first, we didn't pay much attention to this pattern, we were all attracted by the sudden appearance of Zhong Dingwen, and I just glanced at it casually." But I'm sure it's definitely it. ”

Ni Xue'er was happy for a while when she heard this, she seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and said excitedly: "Thank you!"

After speaking, she turned around and walked back, ignoring the old Hu there. Her next stop will be the Mayan ruins of South America.
