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.

"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."

"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?"

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

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?"

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?"

What's the meaning?

Even Lin Qi's attention was attracted now. 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.

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.

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

With his mind racing, 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.

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.

"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."

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

"It depends on everyone's ability."

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

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.

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

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

"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."

"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."

"There are gates on both sides."

"Or there are no gates on either side."

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 conversation between them made Lin Qi 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 neither side is the entrance for now, little Carl, because there is no thicker fog around."

"Well, let's temporarily assume that both sides are entrances, then the question arises, this kind of facility activated by sacrifice, each activation means a large number of lives, why are two places opened at the same time?"

"One is a trap?"

"Not necessarily wrong, but not reasonable, because there is no need for this. If it is to trick people, wouldn't it be better to open only one side of the trap? The lethality is stronger."

"The most reasonable possibility is that both sides are real doors, and both sides need to be opened, for example..."

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

"Must enter from both sides at the same time? Entering only one side is a deadly trap?"

Carl also looked forward to it: "Similar to the tomb of Elder Tamon, the tomb of King Fred, and the tomb of Princess Anna?"

Not only him, Rooney and Jack unconsciously accelerated their breathing, and even the dazed Judy's expression was slightly moved.

No, can you archaeologists be more normal? Is it necessary to be so excited about a breakthrough?

Lin Qi felt a bit amused. I am also an archaeologist, but I am not as enthusiastic as you.

[Is there a possibility that you are a poor student? ]

‘No, go and enjoy your scenery. ’

“Let’s go back to the lake to see what is going on.”

Carl Jones’ voice interrupted Lin Qi’s thoughts, and he saw the handsome tomb robber waved his hand and rushed back to the lake with six people.

The workers were all scared, and no one dared to leave the camp. Salin’s body was still lying by the lake, with no signs of getting up and moving.

The group looked around the lake and found that the fog in the lake was thicker than before.

“This means that the fog in the valley will not only not dissipate in a short period of time, but will become thicker and thicker.” Big Nose Jack rubbed his beard irritably, looking a little uneasy, “I doubt it now. Unless we complete the ceremony and reseal the ancient tomb, the fog will not dissipate at all, and the workers and ourselves cannot go out. We are tied here.”

Hmm? You talked a lot. How come I didn't know that the tomb would be sealed after the ritual was completed? If you were just an outside undercover agent who didn't know the inside story, you probably wouldn't know this. And you said you and Dr. Jenna weren't just pretending to have a conflict?

Lynch narrowed his eyes, but like everyone else, he remained calm, just looking at Judy with a look of verification. Unfortunately, this girl's rationality hadn't come out yet, and the one who came out was still stupid.

"Beautiful Lady Selene." Everyone seemed to be oblivious to the question in Jack's words. Carl hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you sure there is a Glaaki hidden in the lake?"

"What else?" Lynch asked in a joking tone, "Where else can it hide?"

"No, that's not what I meant." Carl was almost choked to death, "Forget it, as long as you are sure. I still want to go down and take a look at the bottom of the lake, but if there is a Glaaki, it will be too dangerous. Touching the lake water may alarm it."

"It's not that we can't try." Dr. Jenna turned her head and looked at Carl Jones, and said thoughtfully, "The lake dweller Glaaki theoretically lives in the center of the lake, but actually lives in the concept. It can't be seen in the ordinary lake. It will only appear from the lake when needed. So as long as we don't touch the lake water, it will be meaningless even if it appears."

"So what?" Rooney asked on the side.

"So..."

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

【Power, Styx, ability, flow. 】

The originally dead lake water suddenly began to flow, gradually turning into two large whirlpools on the left and right, splitting the entire lake in half from the middle and revealing the lake bottom.

For a moment, a cry of surprise was heard from the lakeside.

Because when the lake water split, everyone saw that the lake bottom was smooth and flat, just like the cliffs they had just seen.

At this time, the center of the lake bottom also split like a cliff, revealing a dark hole that echoed the cliff.

And this big hole filled with thick fog was clearly at the bottom of the lake, but there was no sign of the lake water flowing back into it from beginning to end. It seemed that there was an invisible force in the hole that was holding up the lake water, ensuring that not a drop of water fell into it.

"Sure enough, there is also a gate here."

Carl Jones pondered:

"The gate didn't respond yesterday, but both sides opened today, which means that the opening ceremony yesterday was not over, and the effect was reflected only after it ended today. And the two sacrifice points mean that there should be only these two gates, and there is no third 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 be so risky, you should be able to peek at the entrance, so there will be no danger at this time."

As she said, she walked straight to the flat center of the lake.

Damn, you are so brave.

But seeing that the other people did not hesitate, Lynch gritted his teeth and followed.
