living in the world of reincarnation

Chapter 200 The Abyss
Crawling on the ladder for about 10 minutes, everyone could see a platform below. Mu Lan let go of the metal ladder and jumped on the ground.

Then Lin Yiyi and A Feng, who was holding Robert with one hand, jumped on the ground. Professor Leonard on the top climbed very slowly. After a few minutes of climbing, he was a little exhausted. At this time, he said eagerly: " Wait for me!"

After throwing Robert to the ground, Ah Feng supported the crumbling Professor Leonard, and it took him a lot of effort to get him down.

This platform is the rock wall above the bottomless cave, which was artificially excavated into a flat ground, surrounding the entrance of the cave, with a distance of about 100 meters on both sides.

Mu Lan has a fear of heights. She grabbed Lin Yiyi and slowly leaned towards the edge of the rock wall. Looking down, there was no light in the black abyss. The light from the gap in the top house disappeared when it was tens of meters away. , The icy cold wind blows upwards from the bottom, carrying a salty smell.

Mu Lan was terrified by walking the winding mountain road of [The Winner Is King] before, but this time she felt even more frightened. She just glanced down, and the endless darkness made her take a few steps back quickly. An inexplicable feeling of wanting to jump.

"It's too deep!" Lin Yiyi sighed: "How many years will it take to dig to reach this scale."

Professor Leonard took a breath, he also noticed the bottomless cave, stood up propped on the ground, walked slowly to the edge of the rock wall and looked down, then took a breath of cold air, exclaimed: "My God! How did this come about? Could it be a miracle?"

"It shouldn't be created by your God." Lin Yiyi pointed to some excavating tools left on the platform, "It should be excavated by the people of Hezros Town."

"Impossible!" Leonard decisively denied: "A project of this scale cannot be achieved by manpower."

Mu Lan's complexion was pale, her already fair skin was almost bloodless now, she stood in a position where she felt very safe, thought for a while and said: "These descending platforms are obviously artificially built, but this cave I am not sure"

In this era, humans have just mastered steam power. Although the power of industry allows people to exert unparalleled destructive power, it is difficult to achieve a cave of this level even in her era.

"Maybe it's really a miracle." Mu Lan murmured, she thought of the Saratos who the cult group believed in.

Ah Feng had been silent, but it was clear from his micro-expression that he was surprised. He silently took out a metal lighter, opened the lid, and a small flame started to rise, and then he threw it away.

The windproof ability of the lighter was not bad, and the flame became smaller and weaker as it fell freely, until it disappeared into the darkness.

"Your fire is too small." Mu Lan said, she took out a cold firework stick from the portable space, which was used in [The Wraith is Coming], and then handed it to Lin Yiyi in front of her.

Lin Yiyi threw the cold fireworks rod down, and the blue fluorescence illuminated part of the cave. You could see the same platform as everyone was, but it was dozens of meters away.

Then the falling speed of the cold firework stick became faster and faster, and the blue light dropped several hundred meters in an instant, and then gradually disappeared into the darkness.

"Not even an echo!" Lin Yiyi said: "How deep is this, does it lead directly to the center of the earth?"

No one answered, everyone was silent.

"Through me, into the city of pain"

"Through me, into the abyss of eternal misery."

"This is the gate to hell"

Professor Leonard murmured these few words subconsciously. After seeing this magnificent landscape, his original worldview collapsed a bit.

"The little old man is in trouble again? Isn't the crown with you?" Lin Yiyi said in the soul link.

"Send it if you feel it." The poem that Professor Leonard recited should be a passage from "The Divine Comedy". Mu Lan once borrowed it from the library. Doesn't the loophole-shaped hell and purgatory fit the situation? Brain After flashing through these, she stopped delving into it, but looked for a way to the bottom.

On one side of the ring-shaped platform, Mu Lan found the downward stairs, and then saw that the next platform opposite had the same stairs. These stairs were connected to the 30-meter-high platform, going down step by step from left to right, thinking To go down, you have to go through these stairs.

"Let's go!" Stopped the other people who were still looking down, Mu Lan took out another cold firework stick and put it on the spot, both as a light and as a marker.

Then it was a long walk down. One side of the stairs was against the wall, and the other side was not covered. Mu Lan walked silently on the side against the wall. She didn't want to take a second look at the bottomless black hole.

The top few platforms are empty and empty, while some human artifacts began to appear on the lower platforms, such as discarded torches and kerosene lamps hanging on the walls, but they were all extinguished for a long time.

After getting off the three-story platform, the light of the cold firework stick at the top was already very weak. Professor Leonard was getting old and walking out of breath, so Mu Lan slowed down a little.

When sensing from the outside, I just observed the general structure here, and didn't perceive many details, because it would consume more energy and time. Mu Lan can pay attention to those details after entering the inside.

On the fourth floor platform, Mu Lan found a strange thing, which was lying quietly on the fifth floor.

It was small in shape, like a sports earphone with an enlarged size, but in an instant Mu Lan thought of what it was.

This time, without Leonard's low-pitched complaints, she began to speed up and descend to the fifth floor, and walked quickly to the side of the thing. Lin Yiyi and Ah Feng also surrounded her curiously.

"This is... a stethoscope?" Lin Yiyi said.

The appearance of a stethoscope in this place can only be associated with Leonard's pen pal, Dr. Byrne.

"What are you looking at?" Leonard walked over out of breath, and asked in doubt, and followed everyone's gaze to see the stethoscope lying on the ground.

"Why is there a stethoscope?"

At first, it was slow for half a beat, and then Professor Leonard's eyes widened. He picked up the stethoscope by the light of Mu Lan's flashlight, narrowed his eyes wearing a monocle, and looked at it carefully.

"I haven't seen Dr. Byrne on a visit, but in this case, it is very likely that he lost it."

"Dr. Bourne has been here." Mu Lan said with almost certainty: "He disappeared after visiting the Leon family, and the stethoscope here shows."

"It means that he may have encountered an accident." Professor Leonard took over Mu Lan's words and whispered.

"Be mentally prepared for this." Mu Lan looked towards the bottomless abyss. While she was staring at the abyss, the abyss was also looking at her. An indescribable feeling began to appear, and the cold air made her hair stand on end.

"Continue to go down." Mu Lan said, it seems that the main task of Dr. Bourne will be completed soon.
