Chapter 40 It's here
"Hey, Shuer, there is one more thing." Only Lin Jing seemed to know something about the situation, and looked through the diary with a relaxed expression on his face. "I see that you just translated these words. When you read them, your fingers kept pointing at it, but it seemed that you didn't read the last few lines."
"Look at it yourself, are those written by humans?" Shuer said angrily, "If you can sort out the words that normal people can see from it, I can translate them."
"Um..." Looking at the text at the end of the diary that was so messy that it was almost like a child's graffiti, Lin Jing showed a silly smile, "Hehe, I can't understand."
"A coincidence, I can't understand it either." Rolling his eyes, Shuer knocked on the table and said, "Okay, this diary was originally an unplanned harvest, but now he is back on the official track."
"As you see, the exit is outside. As long as we touch the exit, we can go home." Shuer raised his voice and said loudly, "As I said before, after leaving this space, we will be completely safe after we leave the Temple of Life to disperse the parasites."
"Is that?" Mia was silent for a moment with her eyes closed, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth, saying with some meaning, "Aren't you afraid of bringing those things back and letting Pavadiga repeat the tragedy of this world?"
"Nothing scary, Pavatiga is not as fragile as this world." Shur replied indifferently, "We have many strong people over there. It is not easy to solve a group of plants. Even if they really bring them back, it will be difficult for them to do anything."
"That's right, since that's the case, then it's up to you." Mia's smile was meaningful.
"Very good, I think everyone understands what I mean. I don't understand. I slowly think about it. What I need to consider now is follow-up actions. The most reasonable choice now is to jump into the separation point and take the God-given metal home to count gold coins. Everything happens here has nothing to do with us. Of course, this option has been ruled out just now. The guy who loves to steal things is our teammate. If he really leaves him alone, no one of us can do this."
"Captain, there is another problem." Mobak took out his backpack and suddenly muttered in a low voice, "That God-given metal...that...is gone, and it seems to be taken away by the idiot halfling."
The spoils should have been carried by Shuer, but since Shuer had a frogman's corpse in his bag at the beginning, it was difficult to hold anything, so Mobak carried the spoils together. Unexpectedly, something went wrong.
"You say it again?"
"Uh, I won't say it."
"Saf, confirm it." Shuer said with a stern face, "confirm that the departure point has not entered an unstable state."
"Absolutely not." Suffer answered directly without testing, "I had already tested it when I determined the point of departure."
"This is interesting. If you rule out that this guy Macajren is really willing to eat strange things, then these plants will be really smart. They know how to ensure we don't escape." When talking about being smart, Shuer deliberately emphasized his tone and glared at everyone's face with a fierce look, "I even a little doubt whether they have any other conspiracy.
"Yes, so smart, hahahaha." In a tone that seemed to be reading a line, Militi laughed dryly, and sneered disdainfully, "It's just a bunch of weeds. I don't believe they have any ideas. Maybe it's just a coincidence. You're too sensitive."
"Hey? Am I a weed too?"
"No, you're a tree."
"Stop quarrel." In my heart, Shuer continued to play his role. "No matter what the reason, it seems that we must find Marca Jaylen first and then go home. This is a consensus."
"Very good. Since everyone agrees, I will talk about the following arrangements."
"Since the God-given Metal was suspected to have been taken away by Makajren, we have to be careful that he had taken the initiative to leave the team. Now, on the one hand, we have to find him, and on the other hand, we have to be careful that he will escape from here alone after we leave. Therefore, we need to act separately."
"Mia, Militi, Mobak, you three teams are in the team. The task is to stay here. Once you find Marca Jaylen, control him immediately and send us a signal. We will rush back as soon as possible."
"No problem." Mia nodded.
"The most important thing to note is that given the experience of Mobak this morning, plants are likely to have already affected our senses. Mobak is temporarily affected by vision, but others may not be vision, hearing, touch, and smell."
"In order to prevent plants from affecting your judgment by confusing perception, the three of you must pay attention to each other. Who sees something special, something that others cannot see, or someone who is inexplicably talking to themselves as if they are talking to others. Once you encounter such a situation, don't estimate each other's face and feelings, point it out directly, not only speak it with your mouth, but also write it with your pen. Remember, don't be afraid of overreaction, the safer the better."
"Also, if, I mean, if, someone's situation is getting worse and worse, and you may lose control at any time, then don't hesitate to enter the separation point immediately."
"Hmm?" Mia raised her eyebrows.
"Of course, before entering, send me a signal. I think, well, just blow up the upper floor directly. The louder the sound, the better. After sending the signal, you will leave immediately and we will rush back within the time limit. When you return to Pavatiga, you don't have to wait for us. Go directly to the nearby temple to disperse the parasitic state. We will go to meet you."
"Captain, then Marca Jaylen..."
Mobak suddenly couldn't continue because he saw that Shuer was staring at him with a very calm look, as if there was no emotion in his eyes, but it seemed that the emotions contained were extremely complicated.
The two kept looking at each other in silence, and neither of them took the initiative to speak. After a long time, the dwarf who was usually reckless and nodded, and said in a very low voice: "I understand, captain, I believe you, you will handle everything."
"Thank you." Shure sighed, "Did you remember your tasks?"
The three of them nodded silently.
"Mia, I'll leave it to you."
"Yeah, no problem."
"You should have fully understood what I mean, pay attention to controlling the scene."
"Of course, I know how to cooperate."
"Thank you for your hard work." Shure lowered his head and thought, "Sav, Moria, we are in groups of three, the tasks of the three of them have been explained. Here is our work."
"Just just find Marca Jaylen. He is so small and difficult to find." Moria is the most qualified to say this. With a human body and a deer body, Lin Jing is at least two meters tall, which is much taller than everyone. If it turns into an oak tree, forget it, it will be too much of a blow to Shul's confidence.
"Well, that's for sure, the point is where to find it."
"After turning around at each level, you can always find his trace." Lin Jing, as one of the best hunters in the jungle, tracking prey is an innate ability. Not to mention in such a dead city without any interference, even in the densely populated city center, it is not easy to get rid of Lin Jing's sight.
"Actually, there is no need to be that trouble." Shuer shook his head, "If nothing unexpected happens, he should be on this level, and at most to the next level."
“Eh? Why?”
"Because it is the plants that control him." Shure's answer was completely unending, but Moria understood it.
"You mean, this layer is the study of plants and the birthplace of those things, and it is the place where they are most familiar." Lin Jing pointed to the plant specimens outside and said, "So those plants regard this as their nest?"
"Yes, it's a very simple truth. When we first went to the first floor, we didn't encounter those hundreds of frogmen. At most, we only encountered a lizard. This is enough to show that they don't pretend to die there, so they must have their own nests. If there is a nest, it's only possible to be here. As for adding the previous floor, I'm worried that one floor cannot accommodate all the institutions that study plants, and it requires two floors of space."
"Okay, then according to your thoughts, let's search this layer first. Hey, it's been a long time since three people have acted together. Sassa, do you miss it or not? Should you leave it alone for you two..."
"Moriya, you hate it." The shy female swordsman blushed and gently punched Lin Jing a few times behind her back, making a heavy blow like a drum that made people sweat. It seemed that only a golden-level powerful man like Morriya or Shure could resist her shy venting. Although she was shy, Suff had not forgotten the serious matter yet and said uneasy, "What if you guessed wrong? What if he was not on these two levels?"
"No, Sassa, you don't understand, I can't guess wrong." Shul narrowed his eyes and smiled strangely, "Or why don't we make a bet, and I'll tell you where he is, he will definitely be where he is. If you lose, hehe."
"Abnormality." Subconsciously covered his thighs and took a few steps back. Savage pulled Moria, lowered his head and rushed out of the director's room first, avoiding the teasing sight of his teammates.
Only Shuer walked alone, before leaving, his eyes fell on the diary for the last time.
The diary is kept spread out, and the last few lines of handwriting are placed there.
"It's smarter and crueler than anyone thinks, and everyone is played with in the palm of his hand."
"It knows how to use conspiracies, it knows how to set up psychological traps, and it even knows how to induce humans to do it according to its ideas."
“There are them in the ventilation ducts, everywhere, and we didn’t block them at all.”
"It invaded the research station at the beginning, but it has been hidden in the dark, watching humans struggle in despair, like watching a performance."
"Now, it has played enough, and it wants to end the show himself."
"We're done, humans are done."
