Seeing this, Liu Zhenhu ran to the nearby candlesticks and took out all the candles, and after extinguishing them, he compared them one by one, and found that the bases of all the candles had patterns, picked up one of them Liu Zhenhu and said: "The patterns on the base of this candle look much clearer, and it always feels a little familiar, Brother Lin, do you have any impression of these patterns." ”

Liu Zhenhu looked at the red pattern under the white candle, and had a feeling that something had become a familiar thing, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he handed one of the candles with a clearer pattern to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan took over,

Although the base of this candle is also impregnated with oil, the situation is much better, some of the grease is still soft and not solidified, Lin Fan cleaned it up with his hands, revealing the complete candle base,

The red pattern is more clearly displayed in front of you,

The moment he saw the red pattern, Lin Fan said, "This is the Dark King." ”

When Liu Zhenhu heard it, he also recalled it, it was indeed the pattern of the Dark King, he didn't recognize it just now, but now after Lin Fan's reminder, he finally remembered it.

But then Lin Fan observed carefully for a while, and his complexion changed, "No, it's different from the portrait of the Dark King on Yunzhang's business card." ”

Lin Fan found that

Although the red demon pattern tattooed on the candle base is very similar to the Dark King, it is actually not exactly the same, they are all hideous ghosts, the Dark King is in the form of three heads and six arms, and the red demon on the candle base, the biggest difference with the Dark King is that this demon is just a normal human form, if the Dark King's extra head and arms are removed, then the two demons are completely identical.

"It's not the same as the Dark King, but if there are different types of demons, the demons drawn on the base of this candle are definitely the same type as the Dark King. Lin Fan said his opinion,

He took out the black business card from time to time every day to check it, and now he also carries it with him, Lin Fan took out the business card, and compared the portrait of the dark king on the business card with the red demon on the ground more exquisitely, the situation was indeed the same as he thought, the two demons were also hideous and terrifying, exuding a palpitating aura,

Lin Fan handed the business card to Liu Zhenhu,

After comparison, Liu Zhenhu came to the same conclusion as Lin Fan,

"Could it be that this has something to do with the Dark King?" Liu Zhenhu said: "Brother Lin, this is just a guess of mine, according to the conclusion of Xiao Gu's previous investigation, this Demon Dark King has existed many years ago.

So will there be a legend of the Dark King in the Federation, the history of our Federation itself is longer than that of Sakura Island, maybe the so-called Dark King on Sakura Island is just a legend of the past on our side. ”

"It's not for nothing. Lin Fan felt that what Liu Zhenhu said was good,

Legend this kind of thing, most of them can find some shadows, and in different regions, the same legendary characters may be different in appearance of the same mythical characters for various reasons, it is not unusual, now this red demon is so similar to the Dark King, Lin Fan couldn't help but believe Liu Zhenhu's statement,

But....

This kind of thing is still speculation in the final analysis, there is no specific evidence, Lin Fan can only put away the candle, put it in the bag, and wait until later to study it slowly.

Lin Fan: "Speculation aside, this castle will have a demon pattern, and it is very likely to be related to that weird dark king, Brother Zhenhu, we have to be more careful." ”

Liu Zhenhu's expression was serious,

When he investigated the legend of the Dark King with Xiao Gu, Liu Zhenhu learned some cruel deeds about the legendary Dark King, and Liu Zhenhu didn't have the slightest affection for whether this really existed, or maybe it was just a ghost and god that was made up at the beginning to confuse the disciples.

He put away some candles and prepared to bring them back to the investigation and provide them to his colleagues for study, "You have to be careful, I even have some suspicions that this castle was actually built by cultists who believe in ghosts and gods,"

"The cultist's place of belief in the secluded space?" Lin Fan frowned, could it be possible to build a temple within the space,

Liu Zhenhu: "Some ghostly spaces can absorb real things, if you are not a fanatical believer, how can you tattoo a demon pattern on the base of the candle, it must be an organized faith assembly,

And Brother Lin Fan, you might as well think back, along the way, how many candles we have encountered, such a huge number of tokens, it is hard to believe that it was done by one person, some sects will also organize this kind of ceremony, and engrave the ghosts and gods they believe in on a specific artifact, I have seen a lot. ”

Liu Zhenhu recalled,

Because of the nature of his work, Liu Zhenhu often comes into contact with some evil sects, and most of those sects have gone crooked and become extreme on the road of exploring ideas.

The more extreme things are, the easier it is to give rise to extreme people to join, causing the entire organization to become extreme, and for this reason rules are needed to restrain them, but it is impossible for extreme sects to be bound by ordinary rules, so more extreme beliefs and tokens are needed to contain the crazy will of the believers.

Liu Zhenhu has seen many evil sects, among which they basically believe in a so-called non-existent ghost and god as a believer, most of the ghosts and gods are fabricated, and a small part of them are used to deify some legendary characters or the sect leader himself, but in the final analysis, they all write about the tools that dominate the believers, all of which are fake,

If it weren't for the fact that this red demon was too similar to the Dark King, the coincidence was a little scary, and Liu Zhenhu also felt that the red demon might be fake,

Both of them have been in thought since they saw this red demon icon,

At this moment,

A voice came from the tunnel,

To be exact, it was a miserable scream that pulled Lin Fan and Liu Zhenhu's thoughts back,

Liu Zhenhu looked nervous and looked around: "Who, who made the scream." ”

There was an echo in the square, and for a time it was impossible to distinguish it,

"Over there, it's my doppelganger. Lin Fan pointed to a fork in the road on the left hand side and said, "There is a doppelganger in it,"

"There's danger inside?"

Liu Zhenhu asked.

"It's a bunch of traps, and there's no lighting in there, so it's very dim. ”

After the clone disappeared, Lin Fan received the message from the clone, there were all kinds of weird traps in the fork in the road, which were impossible to prevent, and those traps were not simple, they seemed to be attached to some kind of toxin, which had the function of penetrating the body.

Although the sacrifice is a clone, Lin Fan knows that even if his clone is not a real person, his strength should not be underestimated, and he has mastered the six forms, and it is impossible for an ordinary iron trap to hurt the clone.

And judging from the news sent back by the clone who just disappeared, in the face of the trap, the clone has no room for resistance, and when it is encountered directly, it will be directly explained in place.

"It's kind of amazing. ”

Lin Fan's eyes tried to pass through the dark fork in the hole, but unfortunately he couldn't see the things in it.

Fortunately, a doppelganger was sent in,

These forks in the road are like playing a game with death, holding a coin, guessing the front and back, guessing the front is the way to live, guessing the back is the dead end, no matter how strong you are, as long as you break into the fork in the road that represents the dead end, you are also doomed to die.

In the next minute,

Bad news came out one after another from the rest of the forks,

A scream rang out,

They were all clones who had unfortunately disappeared, only some of them were burned alive by the sudden flames, some were trapped in the muddy walls and could not extricate themselves, and some were melted by the corrosive venom above their heads.....

The five forks in the road chosen by the doppelganger are all dead ends, all of which represent a way to die, and when the doppelganger is hit, although he successfully reacts, he still can't please, as if as long as he steps on the hole of the dead for a second, the ending has been decided.

Bad news is frequent,

The five doppelgangers sent out were all wiped out,

Liu Zhenhu's face was pale, Lin Fan's strength was obvious to all, and even if he could use one-tenth of Lin Fan's strength, the strength of the clone should not be underestimated, so he simply disappeared into the fork in the tunnel, and he could see the danger in it, Liu Zhenhu didn't dare to imagine what the result would be if he entered the cave by himself,

Thirteen forks in the road, only one or several of them are alive, or all of them are dead ends, this probability is gambling with your life,

Lin Fan and Liu Zhenhu didn't dare to act rashly for the time being, so they had to wait in place.

Until the exit of the corridor came in dozens of doppelgangers one after another,

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

"We're here, Boss. ”

....

The clone summoned by Lin Fan entered the castle and ran all the way to the square as fast as possible.

"Finally come here, rush me. Lin Fan pointed to the fork in the square, and asked the clones to form a small team of three, divided into thirteen teams, and each team chose a passage to go in and explore.

Even those who have been explored before will not let go of the second investigation,

Isn't it just to find an exit?

I don't have anything else,

It's just that there are so many people that the whole tunnel can be filled.

is worthy of being a multi-shadow clone, and if there are many people, you can do whatever you want.

The doppelgangers rushed into the tunnel,

"Ahh

"Don't. ”

"Stop!"

"For the Boss!"

"The rest of the doppelgangers are rubbish. ”

"I love Yui!"

"Goodbye, my ten-dollar wife. ”

......

Screams came from inside the tunnel,

It's all sacrificed clones, and it's a bit strange to shout the slogan before dying,

Lin Fan listened to it on the side, and was embarrassed by all kinds of strange slogans, and had the feeling of looking at the non-mainstream space of QQ back then, and executing himself on the spot, and he didn't know if the group of doppelgangers deliberately shouted such a shameful slogan, and did they deliberately want the whole book.

Liu Zhenhu could only pretend not to hear it at the moment, but seeing that Brother Lin Fan's face was not very good-looking, Liu Zhenhu couldn't help but step forward and comforted: "Although it is said that the doppelganger will reflect the will of part of the ontology, but Brother Lin, you don't have to care too much, after all, everyone is human..... I have all had the second year of secondary school when I was young. ”

"Ahem, ahem, don't say it again. ”

Lin Fan said,

Liu Zhenhu: "Blame me, every time I see the energetic appearance of Brother Lin's clone, I can't help but recall what I looked like when I was young, when I was also young, before I had condensed my thoughts, I fantasized about becoming a superhero and contributing my own strength to the Federation." ”

Being in a dangerous secluded space, facing the risk of losing his life at any time, Liu Zhenhu actually became sentimental, the candle emitted a faint light, shining on Liu Zhenhu's middle-aged face, from the perspective of the degree of reflection, Liu Zhenhu's face belongs to a more greasy type, lack of maintenance, but fortunately, people look good, not to be regarded as a middle-aged greasy uncle,

Intoxicated by the blurred candlelight, Liu Zhenhu recalled the good, as if he had returned to his childhood, facing the summer breeze, facing the sunset, running indulgently on the river embankment, the sunset stretched his figure, that was his lost youth.

"Hey!"

Lin Fan saw Liu Zhenhu's intoxicated expression, he was a little uncomfortable, waved his arm, and forcibly pulled Liu Zhenhu back who had fallen into good memories, "Wake up, don't remember your youth over there." ”

Liu Zhenhu smiled encouragingly, "It's a shame, let you see it laugh, Brother Lin, it's been a long time, it's been a long time since I've encountered such a dangerous situation, maybe this time someone Liu may really be able to explain here, and I miss the past a little for a while." ”

"Reverse flag is a must. Lin Fan said: "Isn't nothing happening to us now, there's no need to be pessimistic so far, let's go, we have found an exit." ”

Lin Fan just received the latest news from the doppelganger, and now he has found a safe passage to leave the square directly.

Liu Zhenhu lifted his spirit and followed behind Lin Fan,

Lin Fan took Liu Zhenhu to choose the middle, and counted the second fork to the left.

Get in

It's really dark inside,

"It's too dark, there's no lighting, why don't you go back and get some candles. ”

Lin Fan said,

I regret a little that I didn't bring a few candles in at the door, ready-made lighting tools, but because I was in too much of a hurry, I forgot to bring them in for a while,

Liu Zhenhu: "You don't have to be so troublesome, I have candles here." ”

Liu Zhenhu took out the candle from his bag and lit it with a lighter, only a few ticks were heard in the dark, and the fire could not be lit.

"It's strange, could it be that the lighter is broken?" Liu Zhenhu said: "It's okay, I still have a flashlight." ”

“...... Flashlight. Lin Fan said in admiration: "You can even prepare a flashlight? Brother Zhenhu is too thoughtful." ”

"It's all used to it. After Liu Zhenhu finished speaking, he took out the flashlight from his bag, and then the sound of the flashlight switch sounded in the dark, and it was also a few ticks, but there was no light.

"Broken?" Lin Fan said.

"Speechless, that grocery store owner cheated me!!" Liu Zhenhu was strongly dissatisfied, only to hear a click, probably the sound of the flashlight still on the ground, Liu Zhenhu said helplessly: "That's no way, I'll go out and get some burning candles to come in." ”

"No need. Lin Fan stopped Liu Zhenhu and said, "If I guessed correctly, no light is allowed in the tunnel here, not that your lighter flashlight is not there, but that no light is allowed in the tunnel." ”

Lin Fan said,
