I Can’t Play This Game Anymore

Qiezi was right. This temple was indeed very different from what we had seen before.

Not only were there no Buddha statues, but there were also strange corpses tied up everywhere.

Chen Ke panted heavily and said:

"Oh shit, I was really scared. Why didn't those corpses rot? I thought they would come back to life."

Song Qian also added:

"It seems that it is not so easy to enter the space indicated by the bronze mirror."

The four took off their diving suits, sat on the sand, covered with self-heating blankets, and summarized the situation just now underwater.

Chen Ke roughly drew the following sketch and confirmed the distance according to the positioning system on his body.

Everyone marked several suspicious places.

Including the bronze bell, the well, the main hall, and those strange corpses locked with iron chains.

First of all, this entire ancient temple. According to the time when the temple was introduced to my country in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the construction of the temple here must have been much later than the ancient mirror.

And there are differences between the two types of buildings in many places in the temple.

Ji Han speculated that the temple was later rebuilt on the original building.

Qiezi had the same question as Ji Han:

"It's ridiculous to have a house under the water. And to convert the house into a temple, how free is that."

Song Qian suggested:

"It may not be built in the water, because although the Nine Star Mirror of the Pre-Qin Dynasty showed that there was water at that time and there is water here now, we can't guarantee whether there was no water here in the middle."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and this possibility does exist at present.

Chen Ke asked:

"What's the matter with the body in the water? Why is it locked?"

Ji Han shook his head, indicating that he couldn't understand.

But he also told everyone about the punishment of drowning in the lake, and reminded:

"Try not to move those bodies. Since they are locked with iron chains, it means that they were once dangerous."

And Ji Han thought that this game would not have a few bodies for decoration, right?

Speaking of danger, Qiezi suddenly remembered the bronze bell and asked:

"Hey, Ji Han, did you stop me from pushing the bronze bell just now? Did you find anything?"

Ji Han explained:

"Not that I found anything? I heard that some temples' bronze bells would hold unclean things, and they would be locked with bells to seal or suppress them, so it's better not to open them easily."

Thinking of the name of the Ghost Temple, everyone felt that it made sense.

Song Qian concluded:

"Then the next difficulty is to find the entrance to the next area. According to the guidance of the Nine Star Mirror of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, it should be through the buildings in the water to enter a Grand Canyon-like area."

However, after searching for a while, no entrance was found.

Ji Han thought for a moment and said, "If there is an entrance, it can only be the bronze bell or the vertical shaft in the courtyard." Chen Ke thought of the vertical shaft and said, "Doesn't that well flow water outward? How can it be the entrance?" Qie Zi thought it was reliable and explained to Chen Ke, "Hey, Chen Ke, don't disbelieve it. Many things go upstream. For example, when I was on a mission in the rainforest, I needed to hide in disguise and sleep in the swamp. I had to seal my underwear and never urinate in wastewater or swamps. Because many insects will go upstream against urine and get into places they shouldn't." Chen Ke tightened his buttocks unconsciously when he heard it. Ji Han and Song Qian also felt a little uncomfortable, but it was indeed the truth. Ji Han added:

"The water flow in the well is very weak. It may be connected to another water area or to a groundwater layer somewhere. According to the height of the surrounding area, I think the former is more likely. It is still necessary to go and have a look."

After all, there is no other entrance now. Apart from the well, the only thing that can be explored is the bronze bell.

But the bronze bell is obviously wrong, so it is better not to touch it.

Everyone confirmed the next step and rested for a while to recover their strength.

Chen Ke took out beef jerky and distributed it to everyone. Since the last mission, he has stockpiled a lot of beef jerky to replenish energy during the mission.

Everyone's physical strength has recovered, so they began to put the equipment in the box into the waterproof backpack.

If they successfully find the entrance this time, they will enter with the backpack, but it is inconvenient to bring things underwater and then come up. If they don't find the entrance, they can leave the items underwater first.

Everyone put on their equipment again and got ready, but at this moment.

A white light of transmission lit up on the shore.

The four people immediately became alert, thinking that the people from the Consciousness Only Society had followed them here.

But along with the white light, it turned out to be the five members of the International Alien Alliance Team, Captain Ethan, Xiao K, Sniper Will, and the black man and woman.

Captain Ethan saw the four people and smiled:

"Finally I found you guys. Please come back with me. The matter of the God Pillar may be of great importance. I hope to communicate clearly when we go back."

Song Qian didn't expect them to catch up here so quickly and accurately, but they were still as imposing as ever, and asked:

"Why do I have to go back with you?"

Ethan laughed:

"In your country's words, this is called 'asking questions knowingly'. Dealing with the super-dangerous alien energy source of the 'God Pillar' may affect the stability of the international alien world, so it is natural to go back and communicate clearly."

Before Song Qian replied, Eggplant scolded:

"As the saying goes in your country, it's 'woof woof woof'. That's really nosy. Besides, what evidence do you have that we are here to find the 'God Pillar'?"

Ethan snorted and said:

"Then please explain to me, why are you armed in such a remote place?"

Eggplant stood up, took off his pants and showed off his large flower pants and said:

"Can't I go on a fucking vacation? Scuba diving, swimming. As a sniper, it's very reasonable and logical to carry weapons with you! You don't care about that."

Faced with Eggplant's quarrel, everyone in the International Alien Team felt a little unhappy.

Will raised his gun and said:

"Captain, do you want me to do it hard?"

Ethan waved his hand and said with suppressed anger:

"It's useless to talk harshly. We'd like to ask a few people to go back and explain it clearly to us. It's best to report the matter of the 'God Pillar' to the International Headquarters in detail."

Of course Ethan has his own selfish motives. How can you let you deal with something like the "God Pillar" that contains huge alien energy? You must rely on the dog-skin sign of the International Alien Alliance to leave this good thing to yourself.

The two sides almost started to quarrel.

Ji Han jumped out hurriedly and stopped him:

"Captain Ethan, and everyone, please calm down."

When the five of them saw Ji Han coming, they were all more polite. After all, he saved Christine that day.

Xiao K also told the details of the matter when he went back, so everyone recognized Ji Han's strength and character, and believed that he would take the overall situation into consideration.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Ji Han said slowly:

"Let me be fair. Why should we listen to you, Captain Ethan?"

The International Alien Alliance team did not expect Ji Han to reply like this, and was stunned on the spot.

My heart says what you said is fair. Isn’t this just trying to stir up trouble?

Ethan clenched his fist and said:

"Because you all belong to the other world guard team, and the other world guard team should also take into account the safety of the international other world."

Ji Han smiled slightly and said:

"Oh, that's it. Then I'm quitting. What a useless organization. There's so much shit. I'll join the Consciousness Only Society tomorrow."

Then he picked up his backpack and walked towards the water.
