Lin Jie gently stroked the notebook in his hand. The vague sense of familiarity in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
He wondered to himself, "Where have I seen this notebook before?"
"But that's impossible … According to Theodore's description, this is an ancient book from the lower city. It's at least two to three hundred years old, but I've only transmigrated here for three years. How could I have seen this book?"
"Even if I did accidentally see a similar notebook in the past three years, with my memory, it shouldn't be this blurry."
It wasn't that Lin Jie was conceited. He was a university lecturer who was able to write a book at the age of 21. He could be considered one of the top liberal arts students at his age. The only thing he could be proud of was his memory.
If he were to deny even this point, then he wouldn't have any strong points to speak of.
He couldn't remember everything he saw.
But at the very least, he could clearly remember everything he had seen and experienced in the past three years.
At the same time, Lin Jie trusted his intuition.
If he felt that he had seen this book before, then he must have seen it before.
"So … there's only one answer."
Lin Jie's finger slid down the stains on the black cover. The dirt mixed with mud and blood had formed a thin layer on the surface. It had merged with the original cover and covered all the original patterns on the cover.
"Before I transmigrated, before I came to Nuo Jin, on Earth-"
"I've seen a notebook like this over there!"
Lin Jie's eyes became extremely serious. This was a big problem!
Why would something he saw before he transmigrated appear in front of him now, and in the form of an ancient relic from downtown two to three hundred years ago?
What did this notebook mean?
His gaze towards the notebook changed. Now, he was no longer studying this book to solve Theodore's problem. Instead, he was studying it to solve the question in his heart.
Lin Jie flipped open the notebook. The first sentence he saw was... Oh, no. Well, the first sentence was mostly covered by the stains. It was impossible to tell what it was originally.
However, the stains on the pages inside the book were more clearly distinguishable. They were dried bloodstains, and there were even some remnants of tissue stuck on them.
"It's a little scary. What kind of terrifying situation did the owner of this notebook encounter?"
Lin Jie thought as he continued reading.
From the second line, the sentences gradually became clearer. The meaning was also very clear. There was no difficulty in reading.

Theodore had been holding his breath when he saw the young bookstore owner flip open the book. He was waiting for him to ask about the contents of the book.
When he first received the book from the smuggler, he was also confused. He couldn't understand what was written in it.
Therefore, he could only ask the smuggler what it meant. Unfortunately, the smuggler's answer was that he couldn't understand it either...
Before selling the book to Theodore, the smuggler's team had been studying the book for a while, but to no avail.
But even so, no information was a kind of information in itself.
It was certain that the words on it didn't belong to the Nuo Jin language system at all. According to the experts in the team, the words didn't belong to A Zier.
In other words, if there was no one who originally used it, no one could understand it!
But things went beyond Theodore's expectations.
He saw the young bookstore owner flip through the book page by page. He didn't stop at all... Not only did he not stop, but he even had a contemplative expression.
"Could it be that he really knows this language?"
Theodore had such a terrifying thought in his mind.

"The second round of exploration is about to begin. The first round of exploration has entered the final stage. The research notes I previously made on the words on the artifacts in the ruins have all been sorted out and submitted. I hope the research institute can conclude our conjecture as soon as possible. To be honest, I'm even a little excited... This will be an extremely important discovery!"
"But haste makes waste. We still have to continue waiting patiently."
"Next, I'll use this notebook to record all the information I see, including my own thoughts, feelings, and feelings."
"This is more like writing a diary. It doesn't seem like research."
"Ever since Little Wang in the team became hysterical due to stress and forgot about his experience after he went down, Professor Lin asked us to do this. He said it was to vent our psychological pressure and to prevent us from losing important research content."
"Professor Lin is a veteran in the team. Although he's only in his thirties, he has been doing archaeological work for seven to eight years. He's reliable."

"March 20th, clear."
"The equipment is operating normally. All personnel are in position. The second round of exploration has officially begun."
"We've already descended 120 meters. The second widening and cleaning of the cave has been reinforced. The probability of a collapse is very low. Everyone seems to feel a lot more at ease."
"It's just as Professor Lin predicted! After descending for another three meters, the whole passage turned vertical and became a normal parallel road. What we walked on before was not a 'road' but a 'wall'. This building collapsed first and was then buried in the passage of time. "
"The text I copied is still incomplete. We still need a lot of samples to verify."
"Continue working."
There were a lot of missing pages in the middle.

"March 27th, clear."
"We've encountered some difficulties. The engineering team has given us some unfortunate news. The geology here is not suitable for further excavation and is prone to collapse. The team has to temporarily withdraw and wait for the progress of the engineering team."
— —
"March 28th, clear."
"The engineering team has dug up a 'door'."
The rest of the text was covered in blood, and there were missing pages.

"March 31st, rain."
"It can be confirmed that this is a huge palace-style building that has been turned upside down. In the center is a place that looks like a square. I've never seen a building form like this before...
"The heavy rain made the work very difficult. Water kept seeping down from above, bringing with it the soil. I don't know if it's because the weather is getting warmer, but when it falls on my neck, it feels warm."
"We didn't find any load-bearing pillars... or even any pillars. This made the old man who claimed to be an expert in architecture furious. He said we weren't serious about our work."
"That damn old man. What else can he do other than make sarcastic remarks?"
"I really want to pull out his tongue."
— —
"April 1st, rain."
"We've opened a complete mechanism. In the center of the square is a deeper passage. Professor Lin and Professor Zhang have decided to go deeper."
"I heard that the two of them have only been married for two years, but they are very loving. How enviable."
