Chapter 570 Diary

Bai Ye reached out his hand and gently touched the heavy notebook with his fingertips. His movements were extremely gentle, as if he was afraid of disturbing the long-sealed book. The touch from his fingertips made him frown slightly. The texture of the paper was so fragile that it seemed that it would break into pieces with a slight pull.

He carefully opened the cover of the notebook, and a smell of old paper came to his nose, with an indescribable sense of vicissitudes. The color of the cover has turned yellow, and the edges are even a little worn, as if telling the story of the years.

As the cover opened, Bai Ye's eyes fell on the inside of the notebook. I saw that it was densely filled with various words and patterns, which were intertwined to form a series of complex pictures. Some of the words were clearly legible, while others were blurred, as if they were eroded by time and only the outlines were left. The patterns were even more mysterious, some looked like ancient symbols, and some looked like simple drawings of some unknown creatures.

Bai Ye took a deep breath and began to flip through the notebook page by page. His eyes were focused and serious, and he did not miss any word or pattern. He tried to find some patterns or clues to unlock the secret of the basement.

As he flipped through the pages, the contents of the notebook gradually appeared before his eyes. Those words seemed to be an ancient language. Although Bai Ye did not understand their meaning, he could feel the depth and wisdom contained in them. The patterns were even more peculiar. They seemed to depict some mysterious power or ritual, which made people feel awe.

Bai Ye's fingers gently slid across the pages of the notebook, feeling the touch of the rough paper. His heart was full of curiosity and expectation. He knew that this notebook contained the answers they had been looking for, and it might also reveal the secrets behind the basement.

He continued to flip through the notebook, page after page, not letting go of every detail. As time went by, his brows gradually relaxed, as if he had realized something. He began to try to connect those words and patterns, trying to build a complete picture.

Finally, after some hard work, Bai Ye's heart surged with a strong sense of excitement. He seemed to have found some patterns or clues in the notebook, which pointed to a direction he had never thought of before.

He raised his head, with excitement flashing in his eyes. He knew that he was not far from uncovering the secret of the basement. He took a deep breath and cast his eyes on the thick notebook again, ready to continue exploring the mystery.

In the following time, Bai Ye was fully immersed in the world of the notebook. Sometimes he frowned and thought, and sometimes he showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. His fingers moved quickly on the pages of the notebook, as if playing a silent movement.

As he deeply interpreted the contents of the notebook, more and more clues and information began to emerge in his mind. He gradually constructed a complete picture, which not only revealed the secret of the basement, but also answered the doubts in their hearts.

When Bai Ye finally closed the notebook, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He knew that they had found the key to uncovering the secret of the basement. He stood up and looked at the soldiers around him, his eyes full of determination and confidence.

"We found it." He said softly, revealing his unconcealable joy and excitement, "This notebook is the key to unlocking the secret of this basement."

The soldiers gathered around, their eyes fixed on the notebook in Bai Ye's hand, their faces full of curiosity and expectation. They knew that Bai Ye had been flipping through it for a long time, and he must have found some important clues from it.

"Bai Ye, what did you find?" A soldier couldn't help asking, his voice full of tension and excitement.

Bai Ye raised his head and looked at the soldiers around him, with a bitter smile on his face. He sighed softly, and then slowly said: "This notebook...actually records a method of making a local delicacy."

The soldiers were stunned when they heard this. They looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe their ears. How to make delicious food? What does this have to do with the secret of the basement they have been looking for?

"Bai Ye, are you...are you sure?" A soldier asked hesitantly, his eyes full of doubts.

Bai Ye nodded, he spread out the notebook, pointed to one of the pages and said: "Look, here is a detailed description of the selection of ingredients and the cooking steps, and there are even illustrations."

The soldiers looked closer and saw page after page of descriptions of food preparation. Although the text was old, it was still legible, and the illustrations were vivid.

"How... how is this possible?" a soldier muttered to himself, with a disappointed expression on his face.

Bai Ye understood their feelings, he patted the cover of the notebook and said in a deep voice: "I know this is disappointing, but this is the fact. The content of this notebook has nothing to do with the secret of the basement we are looking for."

The soldiers fell silent, and their faces showed frustrated expressions. They thought this notebook would be the key to their uncovering the secret, but they didn't expect that it contained food preparation methods that had nothing to do with the mission.

Bai Ye looked at their expressions and felt a little guilty. He knew that they had put a lot of effort and sweat into this mission, and so did he. But now, they seem to have returned to the starting point and need to look for clues again.

"However, we can't give up just like that." Bai Ye encouraged, "Although this notebook has nothing to do with the secret, it at least proves that someone once lived here. Perhaps we can start from other aspects and continue to look for clues."

The soldiers nodded in agreement. They knew that Bai Ye was right and couldn't give up because of a temporary setback.

"What should we do next?" a soldier asked.

Bai Ye pondered for a moment, then said: "We can first carefully check other parts of this basement to see if there are other clues or items. At the same time, we can also review the information we have collected before to see if there are any omissions or misunderstandings."

The soldiers agreed and began to move. Some went to check other corners of the basement, while others began to review previous records and information.

The soldiers began to move, and their figures shuttled through the dim basement, like a group of explorers looking for treasure. Their steps were firm and powerful, and every step revealed their desire and determination to uncover the secret.

First, they came to the northwest corner of the basement. There were some sundries and broken furniture piled here, and it seemed that no one had been here for a long time. The soldiers began to carefully check every corner, their fingers gently sliding over the walls and the ground, looking for any possible clues.

They pushed open a shabby cabinet with force, only to see that it was full of dust and cobwebs. However, just when they were about to give up, a soldier suddenly found a small box hidden at the bottom of the cabinet. He carefully took it out and opened it, and found that there were several yellowed photos inside.

Although the photos were a little blurry, the soldiers were still able to recognize some blurred images. They looked closer and saw that the photos seemed to show some people performing some kind of ceremony or celebration. This made them wonder if these photos were related to the secrets of the basement.

Then, the soldiers came to the southeast corner of the basement. This was a relatively empty area, with no other obvious items except some scattered bricks and stones. However, this did not make the soldiers lose confidence. They squatted down and began to carefully check every brick and stone on the ground.

They moved very carefully, fearing that they would miss any details. Their fingers shuttled through the gaps between bricks and stones, looking for any possible clues. Suddenly, a soldier found a loose brick. He carefully pulled it out, and saw a dark hole in front of them.

The soldiers were immediately excited, knowing that this hole might be the key to the secret. They took out their flashlights and prepared to enter the hole to explore. However, before entering, they decided to make full preparations.

They returned to the central area of ​​the basement and began to organize the equipment and tools they carried. Some soldiers took out ropes and climbing equipment to prepare for possible climbing situations; some soldiers prepared flashlights and lighting equipment to ensure that there was enough light in the cave; and some soldiers brought notebooks and recording tools to record the clues and information they found at any time.

After everything was ready, the soldiers began to enter the cave. They climbed carefully, fearing that they would disturb any creatures in the cave. As they went deeper, the space in the cave gradually became wider. They could see some ancient symbols and patterns engraved on the walls of the cave, as if telling an ancient history.

The soldiers recorded the situation in the cave as they moved forward. They found that the cave seemed to have been carefully designed, and some places even had obvious traces of man-made things. This made them more convinced that the secret of the basement must be hidden deep in the cave.

However, the road ahead was not smooth. They encountered many obstacles and difficulties, sometimes they needed to climb steep rock walls, and sometimes they needed to cross narrow gaps. However, these did not stop their steps. They supported and encouraged each other, and moved step by step into the depths of the cave.

Finally, after a long expedition, the soldiers came to the end of the cave. I saw an ancient stone door appeared in front of me, with some mysterious symbols and patterns engraved on the door. They knew that behind this door was the secret they had been looking for.

The soldiers gathered around and tried to push open the stone door. However, the stone door did not move, as if it was sealed by some force. They began to look for the mechanism or clues to open the door, hoping to find a way to enter the secret.

Time passed in the tense and orderly action. Although the soldiers were exhausted, they had a firm light in their eyes. They knew that as long as they persisted, they would reveal the secret of the basement one day.

In this way, the soldiers began to move, their figures shuttled through the basement, and every action was full of determination and courage. With their sweat and hard work, they approached the secret hidden underground step by step.

As the soldiers continued to go deeper into every corner of the basement, their movements became more focused and meticulous. They used the flashlights in their hands to illuminate every inch of darkness, listened to every subtle sound with their ears, and sniffed every strange smell with their noses.

They came to the northeast corner of the basement, where there was a narrow passage with thick spider webs on both sides. The soldiers went in without hesitation, and their figures appeared unusually firm in the narrow passage.

At the end of the passage, they found an entrance covered by a stone slab. The soldiers worked together to push the stone slab away, revealing a staircase leading deeper underground. They walked down the stairs step by step, full of expectation and curiosity.

"Keep looking forward, don't miss any details that may happen, what do we need! Come on!"

As they went deeper, the temperature in the basement gradually dropped, and the air was filled with a damp and cold breath. But they did not retreat because of this, but instead became more determined to find the secret.

They came to a spacious hall with a huge stone table in the center of the hall, on which some strange items were placed. The soldiers gathered around curiously and observed these items carefully. They found that these items seemed to be related to some ancient rituals, which made them guess that this basement might be related to some mysterious culture or religion.

Then, they came to the southern area of ​​the basement. There is a tortuous passage here, and the walls on both sides of the passage are engraved with ancient murals. The soldiers stopped to watch, trying to interpret more information from the murals. They found that these murals depicted some ancient figures and scenes. Although the pictures were blurred, they could still feel the ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

What they didn't dare to disappoint was that after searching for more than ten rounds, these things were proved to be worthless in various ways. In the end, they had to leave in disappointment and found something to eat from their backpacks to replenish their excessive physical strength.

"Okay, let me take a look, maybe there is something good in it!"

Bai Ye also picked up the notebook again. Although he was a little disappointed, he decided to read it carefully again. Maybe there are some details or hidden information that he overlooked.

In this way, they once again devoted themselves to the work of finding clues. Although the road ahead is still difficult, they have no intention of giving up. They know that as long as they persist, they will reveal the secret of this basement one day.
