After Team Leader Chen made this simple action, a circular passage with a diameter of about three meters appeared in front of us without any warning.
This was even more inconceivable than the passage that had been opened before. At least that was reliable and could be understood as a mechanism.
However, the passage in front of him had appeared out of thin air. There was no science to speak of.
Speaking of science, I think of something that Einstein said. The so-called matter, time, and space were just human illusions.
Grandpa Love is the most awesome scientist of the last century. I really don't dare to conclude whether he said this or not.
If he really did say that, then the situation before him could be explained. Because matter is an illusion, it is something that we think exists in our spiritual world. Therefore, under the control of spiritual power, the characteristics of a certain substance are " inherent " in our minds and presented through our senses.
For example, if we " inherently " believe that a stone is solid, then this stone is solid. It will not exceed the scope of our " inherent " understanding of " solid."
However, if this " intrinsic " was broken, then there would be some situations that violated our understanding of " solid ", such as whether it was actually a liquid or a gas.
Or perhaps, the stone wall in front of us didn't exist at all. There was originally a passage on the stone wall, but because we were deceived by the " inherent " and thought that the passage was a wall, it became a stone wall that we could see and touch but couldn't pass through.
I think that the mechanism that appeared in the tunnel before was most likely like this.
The cuboid in Team Leader Chen's hand was the real material that was not affected by the " intrinsic " and could break the " intrinsic ".
Wasn't there a saying circulating on the Internet: Theology was the end of science.
"What are you thinking about? Let's go. Remember to lead the camel."
Mosquito saw that I was lost in thought and reminded me that Team Leader Chen and Yang Liu had already gone in. I was too lazy to think about it.
Regardless of whether what was happening in front of me was a theological or a higher-level science, I couldn't understand it at all with my current IQ. I'd better wait for the opportunity to write a report and submit it to the research center. There would always be people who had deep research in a certain field there.
Thinking of this, I felt much more relaxed, so I pulled the reins hard and stepped into the round door with the mosquito.
The next passage was much safer than the previous one. We didn't encounter any monsters along the way. It was just that it was relatively narrow for camels, so it affected the journey. It took us a lot more time than usual.
In the beginning, I chatted with Mosquito, Yang Liu, and the other two happily. We talked a lot, but slowly, we became tired and talked less and less until no one spoke again.
Team Leader Chen played the role of a blockhead as usual. To be honest, I began to distrust him.
Ever since the incident at Huangguoshu Waterfall, only mosquitoes can make me let my guard down. I was really worried that one day, not only would my sacrifice not be acknowledged, but it might even become a mistake. Recently, I've been thinking more and more. This isn't a good thing. Since I'm here, I'll just take it as it is.
He accidentally looked at the time and realized that the hands on his watch were sometimes fast and sometimes slow. He asked Mosquito and the others, and they all had the same situation. It was probably the same as the compass, caused by the special environment here.
After a rough estimation, we walked for almost three hours in this tunnel. There was a faint light in front of us and we finally reached the end.
After exiting the passageway, we found ourselves standing under the stone wall of a small mountain. The sky was already dark, but the moon didn't give him any face at all. It was so round and white that it only emitted a hazy and soft light.
My eyes were almost squinting into a line before I could barely see the environment here. There was no yellow sand on the ground. It was all desert. There were no plants or vegetation. There were only a few small mountains of different heights. Other than that, there was nothing else to be seen.
Team Leader Chen said that we had to rest for a night after such a long journey. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to deal with the following tasks.
As he spoke, he brought us to a huge rock not far away. I looked back and saw that the hole had indeed disappeared.
The night was silent. The next morning, I was woken up by the scorching sun. When I got up, I found that I was covered with two wool blankets. Team Leader Chen was leaning against a huge rock and looking at everything around him.
Last night, he was the last one to change shifts. He probably let us sleep until we woke up naturally so that we could rest more.
Mosquito and Yang Liu were sleeping soundly. With their awareness, it was impossible for them to sleep for so long unless they were really too tired.
I was about to wake them up when Team Leader Chen shook his head to stop me. He mouthed to me to let them sleep for a while longer. It had been hard on everyone along the way.
I nodded and thought for a moment before replying with lip language. Team Leader Chen, why don't you take a rest too?"
Team Leader Chen shook his head and continued to communicate with me through lip language.
"Haozi, I know you've had a problem with me since the beginning.”
I didn't expect him to say such a thing. I replied awkwardly,""Team Leader Chen, there's no such thing."
"Do you think I can't tell?"
"Alright, Team Leader Chen. Since we've already said it out loud, I'm not afraid that you'll be angry. I've asked you a few times before. Why can't you be honest?”
"I admit that there are indeed many things that I've been hiding from you, but there's one thing you must believe. You're all my team members, and I personally selected you. I definitely have no intention of harming you. On the contrary, there are some things that I don't say for your own good.”
"Team Leader Chen, I can see that you're carrying too many things. If you treat us as your own people, just say it. We'll help you share the burden.”
Team Leader Chen smiled bitterly and said," If it's really that easy, that would be great. I really want to say it, but I can't." Remember, don't ever think that you can handle too much. There are too many things that you don't dare to think about and can't shoulder.”
"Alright, Team Leader Chen, since you insist, I won't say anything else. Perhaps I'm still young and don't have as much experience as you, so I'm not qualified to talk about great principles in front of you. I only hope that if you are really tired one day, don't forget that you still have three little rascals under you.”
Team Leader Chen smiled and looked very pleased. He said,"I really envy you for having an indifferent attitude. During this period of time, I can also see that no matter how big the matter is, no matter how deep your curiosity is, you're only calculative for a moment. After that, you'll calmly face it. It's not easy for a person to live to your level, especially for our profession.”
"Hehe, Team Leader Chen, don't praise me. I'm just like this. I muddle along. Instead of worrying about it and making myself tired, it's better to smile and watch the situation. However, don't think that I'm not responsible for my work. I'm very dutiful.”
"If only mosquitoes could be like you in this aspect.”
"Team Leader Chen, you don't have to say it. Mosquitoes are simply born to do this. They're good at everything, but they're easy to get into a dead end. Once he set his mind on something, he would definitely remember it for the rest of his life. Although others couldn't tell, it was all in his heart.”
"Indeed, Mozzie is a natural leader. This is the only thing that needs to be honed. Fortunately, your personalities complement each other. If you encounter any major events in the future, the two of you must not be separated.”
"Team Leader Chen, why do I feel like there's a hidden meaning in your words?”
"Don't worry, it's just a piece of advice. The road ahead is so long. You can't follow me forever, right?”
That's true, but I still feel that what Team Leader Chen said wasn't as simple as advice. But would he say it if I asked? Definitely not.
It was fine if he didn't want to say it. This topic happened to involve some questions that I had wanted to ask before, so I took the opportunity to say,"By the way, Team Leader Chen, Yang Liu's personality is quite optimistic. She's a little similar to me. It also matches her code name of 'Sunflower' in the past, but I heard that she used to have a code name of 'Demon Flower.' Do you know the reason?”
"You, what if I say I don't know?”
"Cut it out, Team Leader Chen." As we chatted, I started to be rude and said,"Although you were in a coma for five years, didn't you say that you had seen our files? Otherwise, how could you know us so well? Either you don't say it, or you find a reason to reject me. Anyway, I'm going to ask. Colleagues should understand each other better so that they could work together better, right?”
"I do know, but that's her secret. "I can only tell you that Yang Liu's life since she was young was not as smooth as yours. On the contrary, it was very bumpy. To put it bluntly, she's very pitiful. The psychological pressure she's under is no less than mine. It was not easy for a girl to get to where she was today. Therefore, you must give in to her and love her like a little sister. Of course, if you want to cross the line of friendship, don't even think about it. You know the rules of the Mystical Police.”
"Aiyo, Team Leader Chen, I thought you wouldn't joke. Alright, you've successfully changed the topic. If you don't want to say it, then so be it. Anyway, I'll find out one day. However, there's one thing that you shouldn't misunderstand. It's just that it's rare for me to meet someone with a similar personality and I like to quarrel with her. In my heart, I really treat her like a little sister.”
"Alright, let's stop here. The mosquitoes are awake.”
I turned my head and saw Mosquito staring at me with narrowed eyes. She licked her lips.
I couldn't help but lean forward and pat him. I said in dialect,"Gui 'er, the saliva in your dreams is flowing like a thread. Which one did you dream of?"
Before Mosquito could speak, Yang Liu's voice was heard first."Who is it? Who dreamed of whom?"
Yang Liu rubbed her eyes and looked at us lazily.
"Mosquito said he dreamed of you."”
"You, you, don't talk nonsense."
"Damn rat, you're joking with me again.”
The two of them spoke almost at the same time. However, one of them used a dialect in a hurry and his tone was awkward. The other felt like he could eat someone up.
"Spare me, don't fight. There's still a mission.”
I dodged Yang Liu's attack and took a few steps back. I accidentally glanced at Team Leader Chen. He was smiling at us, his eyes filled with gentleness. This is the first time I've ever seen him like this. From our casual conversation, I really hope that he can remain this relaxed.
"Alright, let's pack up."
Team Leader Chen put away the rare warm sun and put on that " rigid " cold expression. Seeing this, we also put on a " serious " expression.
"Wow, what is this place?"
The sky was too dark last night and I couldn't see clearly. Now that I've carefully examined the environment in front of me, I can't help but sigh. So such a place actually exists in this world.
