Chapter 849 White Mist
The investigator responsible for telling the situation slowly told the story.
After listening to the other party's explanation, Ronald finally understood why the other party was acting like this.
It's also very coincidental.
Before Ronald came here, he had actually seen with his own eyes the reason why these investigators appeared here. It's just that he didn't expect such a result at the time, and he didn't connect the two parties just now.
Everything starts when Costat and Ronald return to the small town of Kulpis.
The two of them passed by Burrenwich, and at that time they saw the huge gap that ran across the entire city, dividing the original Burrenwich, and then connected it to an ice field.
And that ice field.
In fact, it is another location on the Arctic continent.
The impact of changes in the entire world space on the city of Berenwich is basically consistent with the principle that Lilsonnia can directly come to the Arctic continent.
As for Nicole and the current investigators...
that can only be said to be unlucky.
At the same time as everything happened that day, they happened to be located where the crack appeared, and they were immediately involved in it while they were on a mission.
To be fair.
The few people in crisis are quite good at magic, and there are even genius-level elites like Nicole.
But such a crisis is beyond common sense.
In the face of sudden changes, although these investigators tried every means to protect themselves, the most they could do was save their own lives.
After all, not everyone is like Costat who brought Ronald home in the first place, and has the kind of magic that can interfere with probability as shown in "On Gambling Games".
"..."
"So you have been trapped here for more than two months?"
After hearing the other party's answer, Ronald couldn't help but ask.
If that's the case.
Then it makes perfect sense that these teams of investigators were severely damaged and even turned into what he saw.
The investigator responsible for explaining the situation to Ronald nodded as expected:
"You are absolutely right."
"There are countless holes in this underground world, as well as complex and confusing tunnels, which separate these huge spaces. Connected together. We spent more than two months here, but still failed to find a way to escape from here."
Ronald's guess was confirmed with a wry smile.
The investigator then put on an expectant expression, and his tone became cautious:
"Ronald, I just heard you say - you came here through the normal road on land, not with Are we the same, forcibly dragged into this place by the changes in space?"
The reason for the change in the investigator's expression is easy to understand.
After all, Ronald's arrival means the possibility of them leaving here.
Until now, I have been living in this dark underground with despair, and the hope of escape is right in front of me. It is of course impossible to say that I have no expectations!
Facing such hopeful eyes, Ronald certainly could not remain indifferent. He immediately nodded calmly and replied: "
Yes, I came all the way down from the ground." "
Although it is a bit troublesome, but There will definitely be no problem in taking you away from here."
"..."
"Really?"
"That's great!"
Hearing this answer.
The investigator's cautious face finally regained its luster.
This time it wasn't just him, the few investigators who were still able to move were quick to encourage each other with words and actions.
Ronald patiently watched the investigators' actions at this moment.
After the atmosphere around him improved a lot, he continued to restart the conversation and raised his doubts:
"The simple environment should not torture you into this."
"Did you encounter something else here?"
Ronald could still remember Nicole's caution and prudence when facing him just now.
That level of defense cannot come out simply by facing the environment.
Therefore, there should be something threatening the lives of these investigators in this dark underground.
It might even be humans -
when the investigators heard Ronald's question, they finally saw hope and naturally they would not refuse to answer:
"Yes, we have indeed encountered some underground creatures in the past two months." "
Among them . Most of them are not dangerous...or not dangerous to us, but there are a small number of things we have never seen before that can still threaten our lives." An
investigator first gave a foreshadowing description of the overall environment here. After he finished speaking, another person next to him gave a tacit smile:
"These natural creatures are just that."
"Things without intelligence can always be dealt with by finding a way."
"But in this underground world, that's all. Some white mist will always emerge inexplicably from the corner. Not only will this white mist come and go without a trace, it will even condense into various things with wisdom and thinking ability." "Exactly
. It's because of their state that even humans can simulate that we were frustrated all the way and finally turned into this miserable state." The
white mist...
and can simulate the form...
After hearing such a narrative, Ronald directly It reminds me of the long and thin pipes above the head that lead to the surface of the ice sheet.
A bold idea emerged in Ronald's mind.
Is there a possibility -
maybe these white mist directed at the investigators is the essence of Lingguang Mountain disappearing and appearing according to time.
If it can simulate life, then simulating mountains and rocks is not a problem.
So at the right time, the mist will come to the surface through these slender pipes, and finally condense into the shape of Lingguang Mountain; and when time passes, they will cancel the state of simulating the mountain, and then dive back down, returning to the ice cap. The world below.
"Ronald, what are you thinking of?"
These investigators were already very responsive, not to mention that they were now in such a dangerous environment.
So after Ronald's expression changed.
Some of them reacted immediately and hurriedly asked:
"We have almost zero news about the white mist here."
"If you really know something, it's best if everyone can share the information."
Ronald had no reason to hide these investigators in this regard, so he nodded slightly and began to talk about the investigation of Lingguang Mountain:
"Let me tell you briefly."
"This is actually the most direct thing I have to do when I come to the Arctic Continent. The purpose..."
In the darkness, Ronald described everything he knew in an orderly manner.
After the news here was finished, all the investigators around him fell into deep thought.
Ronald then picked up Nicole in his arms and found a flat and comfortable position next to her.
Slowly lay Nicole's body flat.
After calming down a little, Ronald immediately recited a spell that he had not used for a long time:
"In December 1831, I was fortunate enough to board the Royal Warship HMS Beagle as a naturalist and begin a five-year voyage around the world. Scientific investigation..."
