Chapter 511 [Chapter of the Hidden Abyss] Fifty-Five: Trust in Desperate Situations

Chen Yan looked at the others.

He wanted to stay here, but why did the other people present continue to risk their lives to stay here for his sake?

Is it just because he knows how to get out of here that he has to act according to his ideas?

Chen Yan believes that if in the face of today's strange environment, if the relationship between comrades between people is only "threat" instead of "trust," the source of danger will most likely come from the "dark depths."

Come to "one's own side".

What's more, except for Jack Baldo, neither Weber nor Paulkin Walker knew the relationship between the spherical Tunguska and the underground, nor did they know the identity of Chen Yan's investigator from the Abnormal Biological Investigation Bureau.

From the few words of dialogue between Spherical Tunguska, it is known that Spherical Tunguska "seems" to know the underground road.

For his teammates, Chen Yan must explain clearly and rule out the suspicion that he was "looking for the city of mountains from the beginning" - Chen Yan believes that this is very important.

More importantly, in order to maintain trust between himself and his teammates, Chen Yan believes that he must explain clearly why he knows Cyborg Quinn and the "colleague" relationship between himself and Cyborg Quinn.

After thinking quickly, Chen Yan said to several others:

"It's a long story. I can only tell you now that this madman was originally the chief of the Criminal Investigation Section of the Northern Federal Bureau of Abnormal Biology Investigation. For some reason, he was involved in underground affairs - the building we are in now

Laboratory—yes, you heard it right, this damn place itself is a laboratory, located at the Miskatonic University Research Institute twenty years ago."

Chen Yan looked at Jack Baldo, who had turned into a living corpse and stood up:

"Jack, you heard what Spherical Tunguska said about the underground, and you know this."

Jack Baldo made a very forced voice in his broken throat:

"Yes, I can prove it."

Hearing Jack Baldo's words, not only Paulkin Walker breathed a sigh of relief, but even Solar breathed a sigh of relief.

Huh? Why does Solal believe in Jack Baldo so much? Is it because they are both immortals?

Chen Yan didn't have time to think deeply about this issue, so he pointed in the direction of the ceiling and continued:

"The surface above us is where the Miskatonic University campus is located.

And where we are now is the hollow area under Miskatonic University, named [Abyss]."

"Some unknown event occurred here twenty years ago, which caused the laboratory to be abandoned in the [Abyss], and later fell here due to Cyborg Quinn's stupid operation."

Chen Yan looked into Solar's eyes:

"My teammates and I entered the Omega Mining Area for a simple purpose, just to mine. What happened later was a complete accident - if we wanted to enter this hellish place to explore, we should prepare armor and more powerful firepower.

That's right, instead of just coming with a gun, which is no different from seeking death."

After a brief look at each other, Solar said:

"I believe what you say."

Solar had no idea that Chen Yan was related to what happened in the City of Peaks. Through the conversation just now, he vaguely heard something, so he asked Chen Yan:

"Do you know the way out?"

He did not ask "What do you know?" but asked "Do you know the way out?" This meant that he did not want to ask Chen Yan about the City of Peaks, nor was he interested in it.

Solar has always had a clear purpose.

Chen Yan said:

"I know, but we can't leave right now. I want to investigate this place, but I promise that after completing the investigation, I will take everyone out of here and provide adequate compensation."

When the words were spoken, everyone was more or less surprised.

Out of trust in Chen Yan's previous actions, Chen Yan's teammates quickly broke away from their stunned state and accepted this fact.

Solar glanced at the two miners beside him and said to Chen Yan:

"We can help you and then leave together."

When things have reached this point, there are not many options left for them. They don't know how to leave the City of Mountains. The three of them alone will be arrested even if they go out. Now they can only gather everyone's strength and leave here together.

Of course the two miners were scared, but out of their long-standing trust in Solar, they resisted their fear and listened to his advice.

Chen Yan didn't know where Solar's trust in him came from. It wasn't until Solar came to Jack Baldo who had turned into a living corpse that he realized that Solar didn't trust him, but trusted Jack.

·Baldo.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan suddenly realized that according to Jack Baldo's character, he would definitely not leave Solar and the others here.

He knew that Solar must know Jack Baldo.

When did they meet?

I saw Solar coming to Jack Baldo and taking out a strange "ghost" from his arms——

The thing that looked very much like a "ghost" was about half the size of a palm, and the whole thing looked like some kind of "floating" black substance. The thick fog-like black substance was surrounded by a dim white halo.

Solar crushed it into pieces, and the ghost-like black substance adhered to Jack Baldo's body, and a dim and dense "mist" spread on his face.

When the fog dissipated, Jack Baldo's face, which had just been a zombie, had returned to normal human flesh and blood.

"Thanks……"

Jack Baldo looked at Solar and didn't know what to say for a moment. He felt that he vaguely knew the "ghost", but for a moment he couldn't remember what it was called. [Note 1]

"I am Thoral from Astra, and all else has been abandoned."

Solar looked into Jack Baldo's confused eyes, and when he spoke again, his words were incomprehensible:

"The light and heat of the sun illuminate and warm the entire world. Selfless dedication without asking for anything in return is the creed that the Sun Knights should abide by."

Chen Yan suddenly remembered that Jack Baldo seemed to have said that he was the "Sun Knight"...

Jack Baldo didn't seem to have completely escaped from the state of a living corpse, but he just stumbled and said:

"I...I'm Jack Bardo from Catalina..."

Solar asked him:

"Where is Catalina?"

Jack Bardo replied:

"exist……"

He couldn't remember, so he said in frustration:

"I forgot..."

Solar said:

"The memories of the past are not important, the future is always important... Where is your sword?"

Speaking of this, Jack Baldo, who had just emerged from the living corpse state and was not yet very clear-headed, raised the rifle in his hand and showed a smile:

"This thing is much easier to use than a sword!"

[Note 1] What is the "ghost" in Solar's hand?

It is [human nature] and can help the undead return from the state of living corpses to the state of normal humans.
