Chapter 285

Lin Jie gently stroked the notebook in his hand, and the vague sense of familiarity in his heart became stronger and stronger.

He secretly wondered: "Where have I seen such a notebook?"

"But it's impossible... According to Theodore's description, this is an ancient book from the lower city. It has a history of at least two or three hundred years, but I have only traveled through time for three years. How could I have seen this book? Book?"

"Ten thousand steps back, even if I have seen a similar style of notebook by accident in the past three years, with my memory, it is absolutely impossible to be so vague."

It's not that Lin Jie is conceited. As a university lecturer who can write a book at the age of 21, he can basically be regarded as a liberal arts student who has reached the top at this age. The only thing he can be proud of is his own memory. .

If even this point is denied, then he has no strengths to speak of.

He couldn't do it with a photographic memory.

But at least, he can remember clearly what he has seen and experienced in the past three years.

At the same time, Lin Jie also believed in his intuition.

He felt that if he had seen this book, he must have seen it before.

"So... there is only one answer."

Lin Jie's fingers slid all the way from the stains on the black cover. The dirt mixed with mud and blood has almost formed a thin layer of hard shell on the surface, which is integrated with the original cover, turning the original cover on the cover into a hard shell. All the textures are covered.

"Before I crossed over, before I came to Nuojin, on Earth—"

"I was there and saw a notebook like this!"

Lin Jie's eyes have become extremely serious, this is a big problem!

Why do things that I have seen before crossing appear in front of me now, and in the form of ancient relics in the lower city two or three hundred years ago?

What does this notebook represent?

The way he looked at the notes changed. Now, he was no longer studying the book to solve Theodore's problem, but to study the questions in his heart.

Lin Jie opened the notebook, and first saw the first sentence... Oh, no, well, most of the first sentence was covered by stains, and it was impossible to tell what it was.

However, the stains on the inner pages are more clearly discernible, that is, the dried blood, and even the residue of some tissue sticking to it.

"It's a little scary, what kind of horrible situation did the owner of this notebook encounter?"

Lin Jie looked down while thinking.

From the second line, the sentence gradually became clearer, and the meaning expressed was also very clear, and there was no dyslexia.

...

Theodore had seen the young bookstore owner turning the pages of the book, and had held his breath, waiting for his question about the contents of the book.

When he first got the book from the smuggler, he was also at a loss and couldn't understand what was written in it.

So I can only ask the other party what it means, but unfortunately, the smuggler's answer is that he can't understand it...

The smuggler's own team had been researching the book for some time before selling it to Theodore, but to no avail at all.

Even so, the absence of information is itself a form of information.

It is certain that the text above does not belong to Nuo Jin's language system at all, and even, according to the exaggerated statement of the experts in that team - this text does not belong to Azir.

That is, no one can understand them without the presence of someone who uses them in the first place!

But things were far beyond Theodore's expectations.

He actually saw the young shopkeeper, after opening the book, flip through it page by page, without any pause at all... Not only did he not pause, he even showed a contemplative expression sometimes.

"Could it be that he really understands this language?"

Such a terrible thought came to Theodore's mind.

...

"The second round of exploration is about to start, and the first round of exploration is coming to an end. All the research notes I made on the writings on the artifacts in the ruins have been sorted out and handed in. I hope that the research institute can conclude our conjecture as soon as possible." To be honest, I'm even a little impatient and excited... This will be an extremely important discovery!"

"But everything is impatient and can't eat hot tofu, so we still need to continue to wait patiently."

"Next, I will use this notebook to record everything I see, including my own thoughts, moods and feelings."

"It's more like writing a diary than doing research."

"Since Xiao Wang in the team developed hysteria due to excessive pressure and forgot his experience after going down some time ago, Professor Lin asked us to do this, saying that it can vent psychological pressure and prevent important research from being lost. content."

"Professor Lin is a veteran in the team. Although he is only in his thirties, he has been doing archaeological work for seven or eight years, and his work is reliable."

...

"March 20, sunny."

"The equipment is operating normally, all personnel are in place, and the second round of exploration has officially started."

"We have already descended 120 meters before. The cave has been widened and cleaned up for the second time. Consolidation measures have been taken. The chance of landslides is very small. Everyone seems to feel a lot more relieved, and the expressions on their faces are very relaxed."

"Sure enough, it is exactly as Professor Lin expected! After walking down for only three meters, the entire passage turns vertically, which means it becomes a normal parallel road. What we walked before was not a 'road', but a' Wall', the building collapsed first and then was buried in the ages."

"My rubbings are still incomplete, and a large number of samples are needed to prove it."

"Keep working."

There are a lot of missing pages in between.

...

"March 27, sunny."

"Encountered some difficulties, and the engineering team told us the unfortunate news that the geology here is not suitable for continued excavation, and it is prone to collapse. The team had to withdraw temporarily and wait for the progress of the engineering team."

...

"March 28, sunny."

"The engineering team dug up a 'gate'."

The rest of the text is covered in blood and there are missing pages.

...

"March 31, rain."

"It can be confirmed that this is a huge palace-style building that has been completely overturned. In the center is a square-like place, an architectural form that has never been seen before..."

"The heavy rain made the work very difficult. There was water seeping down from above, with mud. I don't know if it was because of the warmer weather. It even felt a little warm when it fell on my neck."

"We didn't find load-bearing columns ... or even any of them, which made the old man who claimed to be an architectural expert throw a tantrum that we weren't serious about our work."

"This damn old guy, what else can he do other than say these sarcastic remarks."

"I want to pull out his tongue."

...

"April 1, rain."

"We opened up a complete organ. In the center of the square is a deeper passage. Professor Lin and Professor Zhang decided to go deeper."

"I heard that the two of them have only been married for two years, but they look very affectionate. It's really enviable."
