The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb! Chapter 418 - 317: Destination

Gu spent a few hours with us, his spirits cald down, and he regained hope of leaving the city. His eyes brightened up again. Besides the situation inside the Ancient City, he talked about other things as well.

He said that Miss Tang, when organizing activities, ntioned she was looking for her father who disappeared in the desert.

We all knew about this, but Gu said that after Miss Tang ca in, she would occasionally talk to herself, and he had heard her calling ’Dad’ towards a corner.

Moreover, while in the desert, she often ntioned her father, saying she was worried about him. But ever since entering the city, she hadn’t ntioned her father.

Gu sighed, "I know it’s impolite to say this, but... I think Miss Tang might... sigh..."

Seeing his regretful expression, it was guessed that he suspected Miss Tang had gone mad. His reasoning was legitimate, as Miss Tang had no survival experience in the wild, and the Death Desert had its peculiarities. They had seen ’vegetative’ people and stone people.

There were also dangerous animals. Even with experts on their team, their journey was not an easy one.

Though there were no casualties, the scares weren’t spared at all. In Gu’s perspective, Miss Tang was like a flower that grew in a greenhouse, and it would only take a few days for her to break down.

However, Qinghan didn’t think so. He said that Miss Tang was not that fragile and is a person with quite a strong will.

The Chen and Tang Families have been friends for generations, so Qinghan’s understanding of Miss Tang should be more than just an acquaintance.

I felt that Qinghan described her as strong-willed too subtly; to put it plainly, Miss Tang is just ’stubborn’.

She had no adventure experience and was gallant enough to search online for partners to venture deep into the desert. She was also persistent enough in searching for her father.

So, I believe in Qinghan’s view that Miss Tang wouldn’t break down easily.

But could it be that she had started hallucinating?

As soon as I voiced this suspicion, Mike imdiately looked over, as he was most concerned about the issue of hallucinations.

"After soone breaks down, they’re likely to start hallucinating." Gu didn’t grasp my intent; he looked at confusedly, thinking we were talking about the sa thing.

"You’re saying these abnormal behaviors appeared only after she entered the city?" Mike asked.

"Yes," Gu confird.

Mike had ntioned that he and his team experienced hallucinations when they were on their way back, and the only similarity with Miss Tang was that they had been near the Ancient City.

Mike’s team was at the gate, and Miss Tang’s team went inside.

Mike believed that the hallucinations were related to the Ancient City and that so force within the city caused people to hallucinate.

Doctor Du, after hearing this, said, "But we haven’t experienced any hallucinations."

We had been inside the city for much longer than the ti Mike stayed outside the gate, and if there was an influence, we should have been hallucinating by now.

Even if Qinghan and I didn’t experience it, Wang Le and Huang Zaijiang, who are one hundred percent ’normal people,’ should have.

Of course, Mike only ntioned that so of his team mbers and so people who had gone in earlier experienced hallucinations. His own hallucinations disappeared completely a few days after leaving the Death Zone.

He couldn’t prove that everyone who entered would fall victim. I looked at Gu, and in Miss Tang’s team, no one else had hallucinated except Miss Tang herself.

And again, I was only speculating. Whether she was talking to herself due to hallucinations or for other reasons is still unclear.

"If she... let’s assu she believes she’s already found her father, why would she still head to the city center?" Even if she was hallucinating, in the hallucination, she had already reunited with her missing father. Shouldn’t she be leaving instead? Why would she still lead people to explore the city center?

Gu recalled and said, "After entering the desert, Miss Tang trusted the mysterious team greatly, especially their leader. They often held small etings excluding us three. Once, I secretly overheard a snippet, hearing sothing about a core."

Cosmic Core? I looked at Qinghan and then at Mike. Mike seed unfamiliar with the term, showing no reaction.

Gu noticed that our team included a foreigner, so he had been speaking in a foreign language, thus eliminating any chance that Mike didn’t understand.

It seed that neither Mike nor the people previously sent from Kangaroo Country had figured out the mysteries of this city.

In over a year, so many people were sent, yet they didn’t even grasp the edge of the secret. I don’t think it’s due to a lack of capability on Kangaroo Country’s part, just that the secrets within the city are buried too deeply.
