Mermaid Reef

Jensen carefully watched the episode where "the expedition team doubted each other, disputed and accused each other".

As he said, there are always such plots in novels, and human beings will inevitably have disputes when they are in a desperate situation.

Even if there were no lies fabricated by Juan, they would have violent conflicts due to disappointment, frustration, differences of opinion and other reasons. It is not even possible to say who is right and who is wrong, it is just a kind of emotional venting.

The most dangerous is after the conflict.

Teams may split, conflicts slowly accumulate, coupled with various death threats from the external environment, human willpower is gradually consumed by these "tortures", and finally some people go crazy, some attack teammates, and some decide to leave alone and choose a way out.

For Cthulhu, this kind of script is very good-looking, and this kind of in-depth experience is also very interesting.

But Juan's team is too small, there are only three people in total, and the complicated plot cannot be developed.

Jason didn't want the investigator to die, and the human named Terekin seemed to have a good relationship with the investigator.

Rota was left, vigilant, apathetic to the other two, and leading Telekin to suspect Jason.

Forget it, the game of infighting among the expedition team will wait for the next time!

Jansen decided to do it in one step and "manually" split the team.

——Physically split, forced to separate.

Juan shivered silently.

He prayed that this commission from the evil god would end as soon as possible.

The wind was blowing from nowhere, the cave was cold and damp, and the chill went straight into the bones.

Juan wrapped a tarp outside his clothes, and tucked the edges of the fabric into the cuffs and belt of the clothes. This was the easiest way to keep out the cold. He thought it worked well before, but now it doesn’t work. It seems that with the decrease in the number of people, a kind of The invisible cold air was densely woven into a big net, waiting for him to fall in at the end of the dark passage.

"..."

A chill ran down Juan's spine.

He felt like he was walking down the throat of a monster, being swallowed by it.

But this is not possible.

Not to mention this kind of "intimate" contact, even if you get close to the evil god, you will go crazy and die.

Juan felt a bitter taste in his mouth. At this time, the passage became steep, approaching an [-]-degree slope. Juan could only grab the stones on the rock wall and move down with difficulty with the help of ropes.

The stones on the soles of the shoes will occasionally slide, and inexperienced people are likely to be frightened and let go and fall.

Juan took several deep breaths before successfully descending to the bottom of the passage.

He turned on the flashlight and found that this was a platform, and the bottom was still bottomless.

"How high is it here?" Juan asked as he reeled in the rope.

"About 100 meters." Jason quickly converted to the human unit value. He has become accustomed to the new unit of meter instead of feet when modern humans report accurate values.

Juan pinched his eyebrows and exhaled.

The length of 100 meters is not worth mentioning on land. People who are slower can run there in more than 20 seconds.

But if this length is replaced by the vertical distance of the burrow, it is a daunting figure.

There is no light here, and the places where the flashlight can illuminate are limited. The terrain is complex and full of sharp rocks that may cut clothes and skin. The stones may fall off, and the risk of death is doubled.

Three days ago, Mr. Rota's assistant jumped the hill to escape. The slope was obviously very gentle, and he broke his neck.

call.

It's okay, Juan believes that before he finds the evil god, Jason will not watch himself fall to death.

Break into a bone at most!

Juan tried to comfort himself while tying the rope around his waist.

Jason didn't seem to look back, but he actually followed Juan's every move.

About how far humans can do in this extreme environment... This is the first-hand information. If you learn it, you will have fewer loopholes if you mix with human adventurers in the future.

Things that are too simple to be an obstacle in the eyes of evil gods are very difficult in the eyes of humans. Jason has always been in contact with humans in cities and towns before. How far humans can go and how high mountains can climb It is completely devoid of concept.

After all, in the novel, the protagonists who are good at taking risks are all physically strong and persistent.

Able to cross the Gobi Desert, beat back dinosaurs, kill ghosts, and fight sharks in the sea... Anyway, such a protagonist, oh no, such an investigator Jason would like to have one in his dreams.

But in the real world, there is no Sherlock Holmes or Captain Nemo (Note).

After this cave exploration, Jensen has added a lot of "common sense", such as that it is impossible for human beings to jump over a pit with a width of seven or eight meters, for example, human beings will suffer from cramps when swimming in too cold water.

By the way, there is also long-term lack of sunlight that can make human beings feel depressed, depressed or irritable.

Jason saw the worried investigator's brightness all the way down, and suddenly said, "What reward do you want?"

"what?"

Juan tugged at the rope with a dazed expression on his face.

It took a minute for his brain to recover his ability to think, and his expression changed instantly.

"Still, can you still choose?" Juan was shocked.

"As long as it's not the residence of other evil gods..."

Jensen was halfway through speaking, when he suddenly remembered Gemil's behavior of threatening the same kind, and quickly changed his words, "As long as it's on Earth, it's fine."

Juan: "..."

Look at what this said, are there any relics of civilization that are not on the earth?

Juan's expression was too obvious, Jason nodded seriously and said, "Yes, such as Atlantis."

"Isn't that sunk at the bottom of the sea?" Juan was even more shocked.

"Atlantis accepted the technology of alien civilization. It was not a city, but a spaceship. The people of Atlantis discovered the fact of the existence of evil gods, and they were also affected by evil forces. They knew that they could not defeat The evil god, in order to preserve civilization and people, decided to leave the earth and flee to another galaxy. After the spaceship rose from the ground, the sea water merged into this deep pit, so in the ancient legends of the earth, the Atlanteans offended the gods , the city sank to the bottom of the sea overnight."

After Jason finished explaining, Juan stammered and asked, "Then why is it counted in the ruins of the ruins?"

"The spaceship crashed near Mars. It is said that it hit a moon of Mars. Some of the ruins remained there. The two satellites of Mars are not spherical. After being hit, they will be even uglier."

Hearing the slightly disgusted tone, Juan opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

He never expected that he would discuss such a technological and advanced topic with the evil god.

and many more.

Juan suddenly woke up.

Human beings tirelessly explore the planet under their feet, but these problems are nothing in the eyes of evil gods, otherwise no one would want to obtain knowledge from evil gods. This is the most popular option besides longevity, power, and wealth .

The ruins of the ancient city on Mars must be forgotten. Many names appeared in Juan's head, but in the end these names disappeared.

Jason watched in surprise as the light on the investigator's body dimmed again.

What's going on, I'm very disappointed to hear that I can't go to Mars?

Jason was still thinking, when he heard Juan ask in an embarrassed tone: "Can I change my reward into money?"

"Ok?"

"...I'm too poor."

Every time Juan said a word, his heart was bleeding.

It's an insult to give up such a reward and choose money, but you can't live without money!Among other things, if he had money, why would he be Professor Terekin's assistant, why would he be here?Who can guarantee that the next time I encounter a mysterious event, there will be a familiar evil god to rescue me?

What?Cultural relics in the ruins?

The things taken out through time and space have no traces of historical precipitation, and are at most considered imitations.

Take gold directly?It's a good idea, but Juan is worried that these things will "flow" out and cause mysterious deaths. Juan has heard the story of "bad luck gold coins" in his dream. Who can guarantee that in a city that is doomed to destruction, something The item must not have the breath of evil gods?

This is definitely not a bet.

Looking at the flickering investigators, Jason thought about it seriously: "How much do you want? The space-time compass is difficult to make, but I have a lot of gold and gems, and I can give them to you at will. This can be used as an extra reward. "

Juan: "..."

There is one thing Juan doesn't understand, why are other evil gods not so rich?Like the evil god in this cave?

***

Gemil was lying on the hillside.

The snow on the side of the Arabiaca Mountain has completely melted, and the crevices in the rocks are quickly covered with wild flowers and green grass.

The steep and steep rock walls are exposed, and two or three caves can be seen with the human naked eye.

Gemir could hear the sound of the flood flowing underground.

The collapsed camp has been completely changed, half of which is soaked in puddles.

This is because fallen armored vehicles and other debris blocked the cave passages, and some floods had nowhere to go, and could only overflow through the gaps and holes, which looked particularly bleak.

Some people are looking for survivors in the ruins and puddles, and may still be investigating the truth.

After Gemil confirmed that there were no satisfied glowing ants inside, he ignored these people.

His position was well chosen, and his disguise impeccable—as a shadow, who would care?

"what--"

Terrible screams sounded from the rock post in front of the camp.

It was a well-preserved building with people in it.

Gemil frowned slightly, and looked back, wondering to find that someone really "saw" him.

Looking directly at the shadowy incarnation of the evil god, now it has turned into a pool of flesh and blood, and the horror legend of this camp has increased again.

Gemil didn't move.

He won't leave, only if he stays on the surface, and the new cave god doesn't dare to drill and escape randomly, Jason's adventure game can continue.

Gemil habitually glanced at the depths of the mountain.

"what?"

How do you go so fast?

The speed of the investigator suddenly increased. Sure enough, Jason helped the investigator get rid of the same kind of non-luminous, and it was much easier after it was not dragged down?

The shadow continued to lie leisurely in the sun, "watching" the adventure of the cave that was divided into two.

"Wrong way."

Gemil looked disappointedly at the team of Terekin and Rota.

Juan and Jansen have already gone down 600 meters underground, and another team trying to reach the surface is still wandering repeatedly in the maze passage, circling around.

I don’t know why, they can always avoid the most wrong choice (leading to the underground), but they can’t choose the right passage. For a while, the vertical distance from the surface is tens of meters, and victory is in sight. meters deep.

So did Jason and Juan find the evil god first, or did the two humans get out of the cave first?

Gemil guessed happily.
