The red moon returns

Chapter 291 The secret at the bottom of the lake

In the diffuse mist, the open rock wall looks like a big mouth, waiting to swallow prey.

In front of the rock wall, several people looked at each other with just the right amount of surprise in their eyes, making it difficult for Lynch to tell the truth.

"This is an ancient tomb from the Third Age. It is indeed the most terrifying dark age. Even the way to open the door is so weird."

Carl Jones exhaled a breath of mist, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes:
"Twelve ordinary workers, plus Salin, thirteen lives were taken just to open the door. Damn it, we didn't even realize who was behind all this."

Karl's face was serious and he spoke with meaning, his eyes swept over the faces of the other five people. However, even Judy, everyone looked at ease, as if they didn't understand what he was talking about.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be led by someone, little Carl." Dr. Jenna's lazy voice interrupted Carl Jones's probing, "It's not like you don't know that some sacrifices outside ancient tombs are automatic and don't require anyone. Control.”

Carl Jones choked, said nothing more, and just nodded dullly.

"But, did your employer really not tell you about such a special method of opening the door?" Bearded Jack twitched his nose from time to time, trying to analyze the smell in the ancient tomb, "It's okay that boy Carl doesn't know, you, the archaeologist who leads the team, Doctor, they didn't tell you?"

Dr. Jenna sneered and glanced at Jack with disgust, not even bothering to reply.

"According to the mysterious law, the gate should be the strongest for such mysterious phenomena. What is revealed in other places is just the spread of the phenomenon at the gate."

"Or there are no gates on either side."

Others don't know the identity of the swollen girl behind me, but the real mole must know. I shouldn't be curious about my identity, otherwise the secret will be exposed. Although I can use various excuses, judging from Salin's experience, no one will give me a chance to explain. Once exposed, there will be many murderous intentions.

"Well, it's really strange. The fog here is similar to that of the lake."

The open entrance door is almost integrated with the cliff, and is almost undetectable when closed. But once it is opened, through the diffuse fog, you can see the dark corridor inside, extending to an unknown distance.

"Indeed." Rooney nodded, "Then how to enter the main tomb as quickly as possible depends on Mr. Carl Jones's ability."

Rooney and Jack Adams closed their mouths at the same time. After a moment of silence, Rooney softly said, "What about the ceremony itself? It was kept secret before, but now that the door has been opened, do you still want to keep it secret?"

Karl took off his hat and bowed reservedly, then he and Dr. Jenna retreated to the woods and observed the entrance from a distance.

It's so thrilling. What kind of life do those undercover agents in the show live? One wrong step could lead to death. It's so heart-wrenching.

With his thoughts turning rapidly, Lynch's curious eyes glanced over Dr. Jenna. He just showed a noncommittal smile and then looked away. I don't know if it was an illusion, but I always felt that at this moment, several eyes glanced at his back.

This sentence touched everyone's heart. None of them are law-abiding and good people. Who is qualified to say who?

"Okay, little Carl, there is no need to cover up for me." Dr. Jenna smiled faintly, "I admit, although there is no direct information, I vaguely guessed that this method would be used to open the door, and I also expected to die. There will be no shortage of people. But so what? Did any of you not plan to come if you knew in advance that so many people would die?"

"The ritual method is preserved in the main tomb in the form of murals. No one knows about it before entering the main tomb. After all, it is a way to take out special items. It would be abnormal for others to know." The doctor said nonchalantly. , "If you want to know, enter the main tomb as soon as possible. All questions will be answered by then. It is always more direct than standing here and asking me."

"But there is almost no difference in the intensity of the fog here and at the lake, doctor, so it can only mean one thing."

"That doesn't make sense, little Carl."

"There are gates on both sides."

"Mr. Jack Adams, I believe Dr. Jenna's. The employer did not disclose this information." Carl Jones immediately took a half-step and got closer to Dr. Jenna. "When they talked to me, they didn't talk directly either. Explain how to open the door, there is no need for the doctor to hide it."

What do you mean?
Now even Lin Qi's attention was attracted. It would be too ridiculous to even know the content of the ceremony. So what are you doing here?
However, just as he focused his eyes on the doctor, his hair suddenly stood up and he realized something was wrong.

"It depends on everyone's ability."

I can't show curiosity or show that I know, otherwise the other side won't let me go.

Dr. Jenna did not target Rooney, but sighed quietly: "Actually, the employer doesn't know either. Think about it, how could the employer know more details about the situation in the ancient tomb thousands of years ago than we do?"

Lynch looked at the dumbfounded Judy and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Not to mention the personalities of this pair, they worked really well together. The smooth flow of each other's words made Lynch feel relaxed and happy, and even made him feel a little good.

I hope I just thought wrong and the real undercover is not Jenna or Carl Jones, otherwise I always feel a bit regretful. But judging from Lynch's current judgment, it is very likely that Dr. Jenna is Prince William's person.

Alas, continue to observe, neighbors bless, hope everything goes well. Lin Qi sighed softly secretly.

"Let's put aside the possibility that there are no entrances on both sides for now, little Carl, because there is no thicker fog environment around."

"Well, tentatively there are entrances on both sides, so the question arises. This kind of facility activated by sacrifice means a lot of life every time it is activated. Why are two places opened at the same time?"

"Is this a trap?"

"It's not necessarily wrong, but it's not reasonable enough, because it's not necessary. If it's to trick people, wouldn't it be better to only open one side of the trap? It's more lethal." "The most reasonable possibility is that both sides are true. The door needs to be opened on both sides, for example..."

The laziness on Dr. Jenna's face has long since disappeared, her eyes are shining, and her expression is full of excitement and expectation:

"Must you enter from both sides at the same time? Is it a fatal trap to enter only one side?"

Karl also looked forward to it: "Similar to Elder Tamon's tomb, King Fred's tomb, Princess Anna's tomb?"

Not only him, but Rooney and Jack were breathing faster unconsciously, and even the dumbfounded Judy moved slightly.

No, can those of you who play archeology be more normal? Is it necessary to be so excited about a breakthrough?

Lin Qi felt dumbfounded. I also studied archeology, and I'm not as fanatical as you.

[Is there a possibility that it’s because you are a bad student? 】

'No, just look at your scenery. '

"Come on, let's go back to the lake to check the situation."

Carl Jones's voice interrupted Lynch's thoughts, and the handsome tomb robber waved his hand and quickly led the six people back to the lake.

The workers were all frightened, and no one dared to leave the camp. Salin's body was still lying by the lake, showing no signs of moving.

The group of people looked around the lakeside for a while and found that the fog filling the lake was thicker than before.

"This means that the fog in the valley will not dissipate in a short period of time, but will become thicker and thicker." Big-nosed Jack rubbed his beard irritably, looking a little uneasy, "I am very doubtful now that unless we complete the ritual, Let the tomb be closed again, otherwise the fog will not dissipate at all, and the workers and ourselves will not be able to get out. We are tied here. "

Um? You're talking a lot. Why didn’t I know that the tomb would be sealed after completing the ritual? If you were just an outside undercover who didn't know the inside story, I'm afraid you wouldn't understand this. You also said that you and Dr. Jenna had conflicts because of acting?

Lin Qi narrowed his eyes, but remained as calm as the others. He just looked at Judy with a questioning look. Unfortunately, the girl had not yet come to her senses, and the one who came out was still the stupid one.

"Beautiful Ms. Selene." No one seemed to care about the question in Jack's words. Karl hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you really sure that there is Glaki hidden in the lake?"

"Otherwise?" Lynch asked in a joking tone, "Where else can it be hidden?"

"No, that's not what I meant." Carl almost choked to death, "Forget it, it's good if you can be sure anyway. I also want to go down and see the bottom of the lake, but it would be too dangerous if there is Glaaki, and it is possible to touch the lake water. Alarm it."

"It's not that we can't try." Dr. Jenna turned to look at Carl Jones and said thoughtfully, "The Lake Dweller Glaki theoretically lives in the center of the lake, but actually lives in the concept. You can’t see it in the lake normally, and it will only appear from the lake when necessary. So as long as we don’t touch the lake, it’s meaningless.”

"So?" Rooney asked from the side.

"so……"

Dr. Jenna pointed her finger at the lake and moved it gently.

[Power, Styx, ability, flow. 】

The originally dead lake water suddenly started to flow and gradually turned into two large whirlpools, one on the left and one on the right, causing the entire lake to be divided into two halves in the middle, revealing the bottom of the lake.

For a moment, there was an exclamation from the lakeside.

Because when the lake water parted, everyone saw that the bottom of the lake was smooth and flat, just like the cliff they just saw.

At this time, the middle of the lake bottom also parted like a cliff, revealing a large black hole that echoed the cliff.

And this large hole filled with thick fog is obviously at the bottom of the lake, but there is no sign of the lake water pouring in from the beginning to the end. There seems to be an invisible force holding the lake water in the hole, ensuring that not a drop of water falls into it. .

"Sure enough, this is also a gate."

Carl Jones pondered:
"The door did not respond yesterday, but today both sides are open, which means that yesterday's opening ceremony has not ended yet, and the effect will be reflected after it ends today. And the two sacrifice points mean that there should be only these two places on the door, and there is no third place. Door, so..."

"So the meaning of the existence of two doors is to enter from both sides." Dr. Jenna added, "But there is no need to take such risks. You should be able to peek at the entrance. There will be no danger at this time."

With that said, she walked straight towards the center of the flat lake.

Damn, you are so brave.

But seeing that the other people didn't hesitate in their footsteps, Lin Qi gritted his teeth and followed.
