Lin Fan had been praying that it was his own illusion.
But after a long wait, when she felt the pulse beating for the second time, her hand retracted as if it had been burned by an iron.
This person still has a pulse...
No matter how unreasonable or incredible this matter is, it is the fact.
Before, she was thinking, what's so scary about living people?
But at this moment, she suddenly realized that the living people in this place were no safer than the dead.
Lin Fan lost his balance and sat back, then quickly got up and hurried to find Sister Xu.
"Sure enough!" Sister Xu had the expected world-weary look on her face.
"Alive, but with a slow heartbeat so he can't feel his breath?" Wu Yusen glanced at the woman and asked, "Is this possible?"
"Maybe." Sister Xu knew that John Woo wouldn't normally be exposed to this kind of situation, so she didn't think it was strange that he didn't know about it. "You've heard of the most well-known... Turtle Breathing Technique, right? It can achieve this effect."
Turtle breathing, as the name suggests, is to regulate breathing like a turtle, so as to achieve the result of longevity without eating or drinking.
"I always thought this thing was from martial arts novels." Lin Fan said blankly.
Although she has learned a lot of unusual things in the Special Affairs Office, her thinking may not have changed yet, and she still feels surprised when encountering such things.
"Art comes from life." Sister Xu patted Lin Fan's shoulder comfortingly, "Just get used to it."
"So what should we do now? Wake her up?" asked John Woo.
"You dare?" Sister Xu rolled her eyes at him. "If we calculate based on the age of the stone world outside, this person should have been lying there for... over four thousand years."
Lin Fan's eyes widened.
It is said that there are five thousand years in history. Such a long time, and this sister accounts for four-fifths of it?
"How old is Mr. Qian? Who is older than her?" She suddenly remembered the centenarian of the Special Affairs Office and asked.
"I don't know, but judging from Mr. Qian's dress and habits, I personally feel that he may not be older than this one." Sister Xu shook her head.
Although this person's clothes are simple, combined with the furnishings in the stone house, it can be basically determined that he lived before the Qin Dynasty.
As for Mr. Qian, he usually wears clothes from the Qin and Han dynasties on a daily basis. Theoretically, he should not be older than this person.
"Then according to the theory that the older you are, the stronger your abilities are..." Lin Fan didn't dare to continue, but everyone understood.
If this person really lived before the pre-Qin period and is still alive today, then even Mr. Qian might have to admit his abilities.
"Is Mr. Qian the most powerful person in our institute?" Lin Fan still hoped to have some other external help.
"Master Qian, His Excellency, and Senior Brother are the three most powerful men in the institute," Wu Yusen explained. "They are basically the ceiling of their strength."
Thousands of years old monsters don’t appear just because you want them. There are only a few of them over the years. I didn’t expect one to suddenly appear here.
"Don't panic. It might not be a bad thing." Sister Xu reassured Lin Fan. "Strong ability is just her attribute, not her position."
Lin Fan didn't understand and looked at John Woo.
"That is to say, she is not necessarily a bad person." Wu Yusen said, "Just like, Mr. Qian and others, they also have all-powerful abilities, but they are also good people."
Lin Fan thought about it and nodded. Indeed. Xingchen was quite capable, and she was also a good person.
"Don't be too optimistic. There's a cell on the 99th floor." Sister Xu gave a helpless reminder when she saw that Lin Fan seemed to have let down his guard.
The bad guys locked up in the jail are just as capable.
Of course, it's worse than Qian Lao and the others. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been caught.
Lin Fan's heart suddenly began to beat faster, and he said gloomily, "Sister Xu, are you trying to comfort me?"
"I just want to remind you of the various possibilities and not to be careless." Sister Xu replied bluntly.
“But…” Wu Yusen hesitated, “In her current state, this shouldn’t be her own will, right?”
"What do you mean?" Lin Fan asked.
"The rubble blocking the road outside. The sunken stone world, and the various mechanisms in the passage that don't match the age of the place." Wu Yusen replied, "I feel more like she's been trapped here."
"That's even more terrible!" Lin Fan blurted out, quickly covering his mouth and saying "Pah, Pah" twice. "Children should not be restrained in their words, children should not be restrained in their words!"
Seeing her like this, Sister Xu couldn't help laughing and asked, "Why is it not okay?"
"Think about it, if she was really trapped by someone, wouldn't that be like being in jail? There's a high probability that she's a dangerous person, right?" Lin Fan speculated.
"Danger doesn't mean threat." Sister Xu retorted coldly, "If she was sealed here by someone, it only means that others are wary of her presence, not whether she's a good person or not."
Good will prevail over evil, Sister Xu! Lin Fan wanted to put mainstream values on his head.
Seeing Lin Fan looking at her with resentment, Sister Xu said helplessly, "Are you stupid? In this situation, of course I hope she is a good person!"
"But the problem is, what should we do now? It's impossible to wake her up and ask her, hey, are you a good person or a bad person?" Lin Fan spread his hands, "What if she's a good person? That's fine. But what if she's a bad person? That would be asking for trouble."
It's indeed difficult.
The problem in this domain is most likely with this woman.
They had just explored it and found that this isolated island was the end. Excluding the possibility that there was something inside the wall, this seemingly problematic woman was the root of the problem.
But Lin Fan was right. The consequences of waking her up were unknown.
If it really is a super demon, not to mention whether they will live or die, there will definitely be chaos outside.
But now, due to the domain's influence, the communication connection is disconnected. It is impossible to notify the people in the institute.
Otherwise, if we send a message back and everyone puts their heads together, it will be much better than just the three of them working together, right?
Besides, even though Master Qian is in seclusion and the Thousand Year Old Master is missing, isn’t there still the eldest senior brother staying in the Xiaoyao Sect?
If we invite him as foreign aid, wouldn’t the combat effectiveness be just the same?
Xingchen is powerful, but that is only physical resistance.
What if this woman is a high-level magician and throws an illusion at him, affecting Lin Fan's mind? It wouldn't be much harder for Xingchen to cut them than to cut those gravel...
No matter how much you say it, this matter seems to be stuck and there is no way forward or backward.
Not to mention, they don't know how to wake people up.
The three people stood on the pier and whispered to each other, and finally decided to retreat first.
Those who are waiting for the special rescue at the edge of the barrier should be told not to come in yet. They should go back and send a message to ask more people to come to be safe.
Before leaving, Lin Fan subconsciously turned his head and was so scared that he almost slipped into the water, but was still grabbed by John Woo's arm.
"She, she, she..." Lin Fan stuttered and pointed at the isolated island.
Of course, John Woo and Sister Xu also saw it.
The woman who was originally lying down sat up at some point.
Ahhhh, I'm up. Do you want to fight or not?
