Chapter 268 It’s the snowy season…

At this critical moment, Su Chen suddenly felt a powerful force coming from the artifact, which was the energy accumulated when purifying the dark crystal. He suddenly had an idea and decided to use this power to launch a final counterattack.

"Use the power of light to dispel the darkness!" Su Chen held up the artifact and chanted the spell. The light of the artifact burst out again, forming an unprecedented powerful energy wave.

The light spread rapidly, completely suppressing Drugul's dark power. Drugul let out a painful roar, his body disappearing in the light.

When Su Chen opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange land. The buildings and people around him were completely different from the ones he was familiar with. He realized that he might have traveled to another world, a world full of mystery and unknown.

"Where is this?" Su Chen whispered to himself, looking at the people around him. They were wearing strange clothes and speaking a language he couldn't understand at all. He felt dizzy for a while, but soon cheered up and tried to figure out his situation.

Not far away, Su Chen saw a newsboy selling newspapers on the street. He leaned over to take a look at the date on the newspaper: December 1898, 12. Su Chen was shocked. Although the years were the same, he was sure that this was a completely different world. The headline on the newspaper shocked him even more: Superheroes appeared for the first time, and New Yorkers witnessed the battle between Iron Man and the Hulk.

"Superhero? Iron Man? Hulk?" Su Chen muttered to himself. He had never heard of these names in his original world. With a lot of questions in his mind, Su Chen decided to further explore this strange world.

"What is this?" Su Chen asked in a low voice to an old scholar next to him.

The old scholar looked up at Su Chen and replied with a smile: "This is a mysterious artifact we recently discovered. It is said to come from an unknown civilization. We are still studying its purpose and origin."

Su Chen carefully observed the device, and suddenly a strange feeling came to his mind. These runes and patterns seemed familiar, as if they were somehow connected to the memories that had emerged in his mind before. He decided to further explore the secrets of this artifact.

At night, after the museum closed, Su Chen quietly sneaked into the exhibition hall. He approached the device carefully, trying to solve its mystery. The moment he touched the device, a powerful energy surged out of the device and enveloped Su Chen. He felt a severe headache, and more memory fragments emerged in his mind.

These memory fragments gradually pieced together a complete picture: an ancient wizard was casting a powerful spell to embed a mysterious gem in this device. The gem emitted a dazzling light, and seemed to contain infinite energy. The wizard whispered a spell and finally sealed the device.

Su Chen was almost fainted by the impact of this energy, but he endured the pain and tried to stay awake. He knew that this device might be the key to his return to his original world. Just as he was about to explore further, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.

"Stop! What are you doing?" a majestic voice sounded.

Su Chen looked back and saw several uniformed guards running towards him. He quickly stood up and tried to flee the scene. However, the guards moved quickly and soon surrounded him.

"You can't touch the exhibits casually," a guard said sternly, "Come with us."

Su Chen was taken away helplessly, secretly regretting his recklessness. But he knew that the device was definitely not simple, and he had to find a chance to come back and investigate. At the same time, he also began to realize that the technology and magic of this world might be far beyond his imagination, and he had to be more cautious.

In the interrogation room of the police station, Su Chen tried to remain calm when facing the guard's questioning. He explained that he was just a curious tourist who accidentally touched the device. Although the guard was suspicious, he did not find any more evidence and had to release him.

After leaving the police station, Su Chen decided to change his strategy. He needed to find more allies and obtain more information and resources. So he began to inquire in the streets and alleys of London, looking for people who might know more secrets.

A few days later, Su Chen met an archaeologist named Henry Jones. Henry had a strong interest in ancient civilizations and mysterious artifacts. After hearing about Su Chen's experience, he decided to help him explore the secret of the device.

"Su Chen, I believe in your intuition," Henry said during a late-night discussion, "There must be a huge secret behind that device. We must find more clues."

Su Chen nodded and looked at Henry gratefully. He knew that he had finally found an ally he could trust. The two began to work closely together to investigate the origin and purpose of the device.

Through a series of investigations and studies, Su Chen and Henry gradually uncovered some of the secrets of the device. They discovered that the device was actually an ancient artifact that could open doors to different worlds. And the gem embedded in the device was the key to activating it.

"We must find that gem," Henry said firmly, "Only in this way can we unlock all the secrets of this device."

Su Chen took a deep breath. He knew that this would be a difficult and dangerous journey. But he was ready. No matter how difficult and dangerous the journey was, he would find the gem, uncover all the mysteries, and find his way home.

In this way, Su Chen and Henry began their adventure. In the process, they will face countless challenges and dangers, but they will also meet more allies and uncover more secrets. And Su Chen's story in this world has just begun.

This year, the British Empire has colonies on every continent except Antarctica... The prosperous Rochester has already reached the snowy season...

At the end of 1898, the British Empire had colonies on every continent except Antarctica, demonstrating its global dominance. At this time, the city of Rochester in the UK was experiencing a snowy season. Snowflakes drifted in the cold air, falling in every corner of the city, decorating the streets and buildings.

Su Chen and Henry Jones continue their investigation of ancient artifacts in Rochester. The British Museum in the city center displays a wealth of historical artifacts, and their goal is the mysterious device and gem.

On cold winter nights, Su Chen and Henry often spent time in the library, reading ancient books and archaeological reports.
