The investigator responsible for narrating the situation told the story slowly.
After listening to the other party's explanation, Ronald finally understood why the other party was acting like this.
It's also quite a coincidence.
Before Ronald came here, he had actually seen with his own eyes the reason why these investigators appeared here. However, he did not expect such a result at the time, and he did not connect the two parties just now.
Everything starts when Costat and Ronald return to the small town of Kurpis.
The two of them passed by Burrenwich, and at that time they saw the huge gap that ran across the entire city, dividing the original Burrenwich, and then connected it to an ice field.
And that ice field.
In fact, it is another location on the Arctic continent.
The change in the entire world space has an impact on the city of Berenwich, which is basically consistent with the principle that Lilsonia can directly come to the Arctic continent.
As for Nicole and the current investigators...
That can only be said to be bad luck.
At the same time as everything happened that day, they happened to be located where the crack appeared, and they were immediately involved in it while performing their mission.
To be fair.
The few people in crisis have pretty good magical attainments, and there are even genius-level elites like Nicole.
But such a crisis is beyond common sense.
In the face of sudden changes, although these investigators tried every means to protect themselves, the most they could do was save their own lives.
After all, not everyone is like Costat who brought Ronald home in the first place, and has the kind of magic that can interfere with probability as shown in "On Gambling Games".
"..."
"So you have been trapped here for more than two months?"
After hearing the other party's answer, Ronald couldn't help but ask questions.
If that's the case.
So it makes perfect sense that these investigators' teams were severely damaged and even turned into what he saw.
The investigator responsible for explaining the situation to Ronald nodded as expected:
"You're absolutely right."
"This underground world has countless holes, as well as complex and confusing tunnels, connecting these huge spaces together. We spent more than two months here, but we still failed to find an escape.
This way."
With a wry smile, he confirmed Ronald's guess.
The investigator then put on an expectant expression and his tone became cautious:
"Ronald, I just heard you say - you came here through the normal road on land, instead of being forcibly dragged in here by the changes in space like us?"
The reason for the change in the investigator's expression is easy to understand.
After all, Ronald's arrival means the possibility of them leaving here.
Until now, I have been living in this dark underground with despair, and the hope of escape is right in front of me. It is of course impossible to say that I have no expectations!
Facing such hopeful eyes, Ronald certainly could not remain indifferent. He immediately nodded calmly and replied:
"That's right, I drove all the way down from the ground."
"Although it's a bit troublesome, there will definitely be no problem in getting you out of here."
"..."
"real?"
"That's great!"
heard this answer.
The investigator's cautious face finally regained its luster.
This time it wasn't just him, the few investigators who were still able to move were quick to encourage each other with words and actions.
Ronald patiently watched the investigators' actions at this moment.
After the surrounding atmosphere improved a lot, he continued to restart the conversation and raised his doubts:
"The simple environment should not torture you into this."
"Have you encountered anything else here?"
Ronald could still vividly remember Nicole's caution and prudence when facing him just now.
That level of defense cannot come out simply by facing the environment.
Therefore, there should be something threatening the lives of these investigators in this dark underground.
Maybe even human——
When the investigators heard Ronald's question, they finally saw hope and naturally they would not refuse to answer:
"Yes, we have indeed encountered some underground creatures in the past two months."
"Most of them are not dangerous...or not dangerous to us, but there are a small number of things that we have never seen before that can still threaten our lives."
An investigator first gave a foreshadowing description of the overall environment here. After he finished speaking, another person next to him gave a tacit and wry smile:
"That's all these natural creatures."
"Things without wisdom can always be dealt with by thinking of a way."
"But in the corner of this underground world, some white mist will always appear inexplicably. Not only does this white mist come and go without a trace, it will even condense into various kinds of beings with wisdom and thinking ability.
Such things.”
"It is precisely because of their state that even humans can simulate that we have been frustrated along the way and finally ended up in this miserable state."
white mist...
And it can simulate the form...
Hearing such a narrative, Ronald directly thought of the slender pipes above his head that lead to the surface of the ice sheet.
A bold idea emerged in Ronald's mind.
Is there a possibility——
Perhaps the white mist aimed at the investigators is the essence of Lingguang Mountain disappearing and appearing according to time.
If it can simulate life, then simulating mountains and rocks is not a problem.
So at the right time, the mist will come to the surface through these slender pipes, and finally condense into the shape of Lingguang Mountain; and when time passes, they will cancel the state of simulating the mountain, and then dive back down, returning to the ice cap.
The terrestrial world below.
"Ronald, what are you thinking of?"
These investigators are already very responsive, not to mention they are now in such a dangerous environment.
So after Ronald's expression changed.
Some of them reacted immediately and hurriedly asked:
"We have almost zero news about those white mist."
"If you really know something, it's best if everyone can share the information."
Ronald had no reason to hide this from the investigators, so he nodded slightly and started talking about the investigation of Ling Guangshan:
"Let me tell you briefly."
"This is actually the most direct purpose of my coming to the Arctic continent..."
In the darkness, Ronald described everything he knew in an orderly manner.
When the news here was finished, the investigators around them all fell into deep thought.
Ronald then picked up Nicole in his arms and found a flat and comfortable position next to her.
Slowly lay Nicole's body flat.
After calming down a little, Ronald then opened his mouth and recited a spell that he had not used for a long time:
"In December 1831, I was fortunate enough to board the Royal Warship HMS Beagle as a naturalist and begin a five-year global scientific expedition..."
