The notebook I found in Professor Tang's dormitory is actually Professor Tang's work diary, which contains detailed records of Professor Tang's work almost every day since he arrived at the volcano.
These records are long and short, and record in detail the information related to the ancient Dian Kingdom discovered by Professor Tang in this ruins.
The ancient Dian Kingdom is a mysterious kingdom, because until its demise, the ancient Dian Kingdom did not have its own writing, so it did not leave a single word in history. Everything about it comes from the Central Plains region, such as "Historical Records"
"Some fragments of it. Therefore, in the field of history, the ancient Dian Kingdom has always been called a lost country.
Therefore, Professor Tang was very excited about the discovery of the ruins of the ancient Dian Kingdom. He devoted almost all his efforts to this archaeological work. These hundreds of pages of notes are the summary of his three visits here.
Years of hard work invested.
It's a pity that I know nothing about archeology, so I can only glance at the numerous words in it. What I really care about is to understand why Professor Tang asked me to find this notebook.
reason.
However, when I almost reached the last few pages of the notebook, I still didn't find any noteworthy clues.
Just when I was about to give up, suddenly, I saw a somewhat abrupt text record on the penultimate page of this notebook.
I saw it read: Today, the archaeological team made another major discovery. Deep in the ruins, in an area close to the volcano tunnel, we found a volcano tunnel with traces of artificial excavation. After investigation, we
I found that this volcano tunnel leads to another cave inside the volcano, and in that place, I finally discovered the secret of the disappearance of the ancient Dian Kingdom! In that cave, we actually saw...
(The text ends here, and what I see next is the content on the last page)
The murals we found in the cave proved that Li Shengli's previous speculation was wrong, and my speculation was the truth! It turned out that the ancient Dian Kingdom disappeared overnight because they were studying the art of immortality!
And those creatures we saw were probably prepared by the ancient Dian Kingdom in order to study the art of immortality.
Since ancient times, human beings have often suffered disasters due to their greed. The experience of the ancient Dian Kingdom is just a repetition of human reincarnations again and again.
This discovery made me panic deep in my heart and I couldn't sleep. I didn't know if I had opened Pandora's box. Since the demon hiding in that place had caused the destruction of the ancient Dian Kingdom, would it?
Will it also destroy our modern world?
No... This possibility definitely exists. I can't let this happen. Tomorrow, I will order the archaeological team to be prohibited from entering the volcano tunnel. Before confirming the truth about the demon, no one from the ancient Dian Kingdom will be allowed to enter.
Tragedy has happened again!
…
What does this record mean?
I looked at the last paragraph in my notebook, which was a bit abrupt. I didn't understand it at all for a moment. What did Professor Tang mean? Why did I feel that the contents of the last two pages seemed to be inconsistent?
wrong……
It was only then that I suddenly discovered that it was not that the contents of the last two pages could not be connected, but that one page in this notebook had been torn out!
Between the last page I just saw and the second last page, I found traces of a page being torn off. Obviously, I felt that the text on this last page was somewhat different from what was written before.
The reason is because there is a missing page in the middle!
Judging from the content written before and after the last two pages, the writing on the missing page may be related to the secret of the demise of the ancient Dian Kingdom!
But, who actually tore off that page? And why did they do it?
A person immediately appeared in my mind, Li Shengli!
I can be sure that the person who tore off this page cannot be Professor Tang, because since he asked me to find this notebook, he must have wanted to remind me of something through the contents of the notebook. In this case, then
There was no way he could have tampered with the prompts he wanted to give me.
After excluding Professor Tang, the only person suspected of tampering with this notebook is Li Shengli.
Thinking back to last night, Li Shengli made an excuse to sneak into Professor Tang's room. In fact, he was not looking for some wine at all, but for this notebook. He happened to be caught by me at that time, so he took the notebook away for fear of exposing his intentions.
Hidden under the desk.
But why did Li Shengli touch this notebook? Why did he tear up the page related to the unknown creature in the notebook? What on earth was he trying to cover up?
Full of questions, I put away my notebook and returned to the temporary camp.
Before I returned to the camp, I met Lin Qianyi on the way. It turned out that she ran out to look for me because I had been away for a long time and was afraid of an accident.
When I saw Lin Qianyi, I immediately told her what I had just discovered. Although Professor Tang reminded me not to trust anyone, something was wrong now. The three survivors of the archaeological team, especially Li Shengli, were really
It's a bit suspicious. I must tell Lin Qianyi everything I know so far to prevent her from having another accident.
After hearing my findings, Lin Qianyi shook her head: "Don't rush to find Professor Li yet. I think this matter may not be that simple. I'm afraid there is something hidden that I don't know."
I pointed at the notebook and said: "But Sister Lin, Li Shengli obviously has something to hide from us. Otherwise, why would he hide Professor Tang's notebook in a sneaky way? And give the most critical page to
Torn it? Now that the facts are all there, as long as I bring this notebook to him, he won’t dare not tell the truth! And what exactly is written on the torn page? Li Shengli must honestly explain these.
clear!"
Lin Qianyi said: "But have you ever thought that this is probably Professor Tang's trick? For example, could this notebook be hidden by Professor Tang himself in his dormitory? Maybe he
The purpose of doing this is to destroy our unity. Don't forget, no matter who has the problem on either side, the person who trapped us here must be Professor Tang. Because all of us saw it with our own eyes."
I shook my head with a wry smile and said: "Sister Lin, Professor Tang is very suspicious, but don't take Li Shengli's good side. Don't forget that we don't have any evidence to directly confirm his testimony about the massacre in the camp. If there is really no evidence,
If there is any problem, then why does he keep hiding it from us, as if he has some secret that he wants to hide from us."
After hearing my analysis, Lin Qianyi couldn't help but become worried: "That's right. Li Shengli does seem to have something to hide from us. Before, I thought it was because he had experienced those things that made him mentally unstable.
, but now it seems that there is something else hidden."
I looked up at the camp and saw that a bonfire had been lit there, and the smell of food was coming over, so I said to Lin Qianyi: "Sister Lin, no matter who has the problem for now, you have to remind me.
We can trust Officer Mu and Officer Hu, but it’s better to keep a distance from Li Shengli and the other two people. Let’s ask Li Shengli about this notebook later and see what he has to say to explain.
.”
After saying that, I hid the notebook again and returned to the temporary camp with Lin Qianyi.
When we came back, Chen Meiyang, Feng Chun and Officer Hu were cooking around the campfire. The dinner this time seemed to be vegetable broth. The aroma wafting from the pot made me swallow it.
saliva.
But at this time, I discovered that Officer Mu was nowhere to be seen, and even Li Shengli was nowhere to be seen.
I asked them where they were. Officer Hu pointed to the west of the archaeological base and told us that there were not enough materials for making fire. Officer Mu and Li Shengli went there to look for anything that could be used as firewood.
When I heard that Officer Mu went out alone with Li Shengli, I felt a little worried. Li Shengli's current situation was unknown. Officer Mu went out alone with him, so I didn't know if there would be any danger. But then I thought about it again, Li Shengli is just a guy.
The middle-aged professor, who has no strength in his hands, is not a police officer. Not only is he taller and stronger than him, but he also carries a gun, so he should not be in any danger.
But in this world, whatever you are afraid of will come to you. I thought nothing would happen, but then I heard a gunshot from the direction where Officer Mu and the others were.
