Chapter Thirty-Six: Confrontation Through the Door
My heart sank. I don't believe that Dong Xiao has any way to let me open the door by myself, but the other party's words are convincing, and I think she must have left some kind of backhand.
Dong Xiaowei said slowly outside the gate: "The bronze gate should be able to open from the inside. Originally, I wanted to go in by myself, but now that it has been exposed, I will wait for Wang Huan to open the door inside. Wouldn't it be easier for us to do that?"
Dong Xiaowei is right, theoretically, this bronze gate should have a way to open from the inside.
Just imagine, the bronze gate at the top of the lonely mountain must be the most sacred place, not everyone is qualified to enter the bronze gate, once someone enters the bronze door, whether it is the tribal wizard or the king of the tribe, they must come out by themselves.
The shaman sacrificed the living and opened the gate in order to gain the awe of the natives and make people feel that he was the only being who could communicate with the gods. But what about after communicating with the gods? He still has to make a sacrifice to get himself out? Not to mention whether the natives will be suspicious because of this, and how will the natives outside feel if the python does not turn in the predetermined direction? I am afraid that the sorcerer will feel that the sorcerer has been summoned by the gods, or that he has simply been abandoned by the gods? The sorcerer will not take such a risk, so he must open the gate himself.
Since Dong Xiaowei dared to speak out, it showed that she had a way to force me out by myself. But what did she do to me?
Before I could figure out Dong Xiaowei's intentions, a faint flute sounded outside. I listened closely, but I didn't feel anything strange about the other person's flute. Dong Xiaowei said in a deep voice after the flute: "Wang Huan, look at Ye Xun beside you." ”
I was shocked and took out the fox bell and shone it on Ye Xun's body. Sweating profusely and with a pale face, Ye Xun seemed to be in unimaginable pain, sitting on the ground clutching the handle of the knife, clenching his teeth to prevent himself from making a sound, but he had already bitten his lip out of blood.
I exclaimed, "Ye Xun, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Xun shook his head silently, but Dong Xiaowei smiled and said, "I have poisoned each of you, and Ye Xun is no exception. I can control your life and death with the sound of the flute. If you are willing to watch Ye Xunqiqi die bloodied in front of your eyes, I can play a song "Farewell" for you. ”
Dong Xiaowei didn't wait for me to speak before continuing: "You must be very strange why you are okay now, right? Actually, the person who is okay should be Ye Xun. Remember the pill he gave you at the bottom of the cave? I don't think Ye Xun will have too many in his hands, and one should be his limit. He sent himself to his death in order to save you. ”
I asked Ye Xun in a trembling voice, "What she said is true?"
Ye Xun raised his hand and pointed to mine. He wanted to write on my hand? I quickly stretched out my hand, and Ye Xun really swiped on my hand.
Dong Xiaowei said outside: "If it were someone else, I might not be so relieved." But you, Wang Huan, are the ones who can stick a knife in the ribs for your friends. Ye Xun tried his best to save you, and you won't die without help, so you will definitely open the door. ”
After Dong Xiaowei's words were finished, Ye Xun also wrote four words on my palm - "delay time".
Although I didn't know what Ye Xun meant, I still approached the door and said loudly as he commanded: "Dong Xiaowei, I admit that I was calculated by you at the beginning. But after your identity is exposed, the two of us may not necessarily be who wins and who loses. ”
Dong Xiaowei was really interested by my words: "I'm still the same question, how did you find out my identity?"
I peeked at Ye Xun as I spoke, he was already sitting cross-legged on the ground, and wisps of white mist rose above his head. I was stunned by Ye Xun. Isn't this the common plot of internal strength healing in martial arts movies? It turns out that those are not things made up in the movie, but they really exist, but the vast majority of people have never been exposed to them.
I was shocked that I forgot to talk to Dong Xiaowei. The latter urged: "Wang Huan, who has always been sharp-toothed, doesn't need such a long time to organize language, right?"
I hurriedly said, "At first, I didn't doubt you, and at that time you were the last person I should doubt in my heart. But Zhang Shu's words before he died reminded me. ”
"Before he died, Zhang Shu asked me if he had deliberately arranged for them to come over to die. In fact, these words have been said by others, he said that I deserved to die, and there would not be so many things without me. ”
I said in a deep voice: "If Zhang Shu's words are recognized as true, then I have arranged how to calculate all my classmates from the beginning, and I must make all preparations before departure." The only people who met the travel voucher before departure were the two of us, and then you were the only one who went to contact the travel agency, arrange the bus, and contact the hotel. That's why you're the one who has the best chance of getting started. ”
I stopped at this point, but Dong Xiaowei smiled and said, "Based on this alone, can you conclude that I am calculating you? If you are mistaken? Are you not afraid of killing innocents by mistake?"
I let out a long sigh and said, "When I doubt you, the flaws you have accidentally left behind are exposed one by one, and I am more and more sure that you are the one behind it. ”
Dong Xiaowei said with interest: "I really haven't found any flaws in myself. ”
I said slowly: "The strange events we have experienced since we arrived at Fuxian Lake are actually half true and half false. The mysteries and legends of Fuxian Lake do exist, and if we are a normal tourist, there is only a small chance of colliding with one of the legends. ”
"If it weren't for you, we would have avoided the legendary ghosts and spirits in time, at least not so many casualties. However, you have forced us all into the legend of Fuxian Lake step by step. Eighteen classmates! Isn't your heart hurting if they all died at your hands?"
Dong Xiaowei replied lightly: "I don't think now is the time to discuss these things, right? Even if you know the answer, what can you do? Whether I feel distressed or not has nothing to do with the duel between us, am I right?"
"You're right!" Dong Xiaowei's indifference really shocked me.
Dong Xiaowei said again: "That's good." Go on!"
I tried to control my emotions and said, "The first time was when you pulled me in the hotel hallway to see the apparition in the lake. The speed of the fish-shaped water god is not fast, I am only about three or five meters away from it, you ran all the way over, didn't you see that black shadow?"
Dong Xiaowei admitted: "I did see the water god, and I deliberately let the other party go." You continue. ”
I said again: "That tour guide is actually your person, right? You deliberately let people get Che Chi and Yang Honghao away the night before, but you let people pretend to be them and deceive Li Ming." Li Ming's person is an acute person, and if he knows something, he won't delve into it later. He should have seen the so-called Che Chi or Yang Honghao from a long distance, and he also believed his reason. So Li Ming is obviously 'lying', but people can't see any flaws. ”
"You let Che Chi and Yang Honghao's shadows appear on the underwater city wall, in fact, to make everyone tremble with fear, preconceived that we are haunted by ghosts. However, I don't know, what exactly did you do to get the shadows of two people to appear in the water?"
Dong Xiaowei smiled: "Of course, it's a small means, it can also be said to be a secret technique, in short, I can't explain it to you." ”
I also knew that she would not explain anything to me, and continued: "Later, the ghost shark we encountered was the real thing. But the appearance of the ghost-faced shark probably has your 'credit' in it, right? Your purpose is to make us think that we have fallen into the pursuit of the lake god?"
Dong Xiaowei admitted: "The ghost-faced shark and the water god can be directly said to be natural enemies, as long as they smell the smell of the water god, they will come to hunt and kill." You smeared something on Li Ming and them, so the ghost-faced shark appeared in time. ”
Dong Xiaowei explained a few lives so lightly, I couldn't help but clench my fists: "The tour guide is your person, and even the front desk of the hotel is your person." Our tour guide arranged all the way around, she can easily erase the record of their trip, and if you find someone to answer the police call with Chechi's phone, the lies you make up become the truth, and our truth becomes a joke!"
Dong Xiaowei said: "What you said is roughly right. When Che Chi is on video with you, people are indeed in our hands. Guess he was dead?"
"I don't want to guess!" I already guessed the answer. At that time, Che Chi's eyes seemed dim, but in fact, he was still alive, but he didn't give me any hint in order to live.
I suppressed a breath of anger and said, "I didn't understand a question at first, that is, why did you create the illusion that Che Chi didn't come to travel, but then I figured it out, you don't want the police to intervene, right?"
"That's right. Dong Xiaowei said, "Once the police intervene in the investigation, I will be very passive." Only if the police think that you are a group of children who are willful, nonsense, and want to report false cases and sensationalize the public, they will not be able to believe you at all, and even if you run to report the crime again, they will think that it is a child's nonsense. In this way, you have no other way than to continue to search for the truth in the legends. ”
Dong Xiaowei said in a paused voice: "Actually, I didn't expect all my classmates to be so 'cooperative', and after being reprimanded by the police for a few words, I directly admitted that I was messing around." Sometimes, the more people want to avoid evil, the easier it is to fall into a greater predicament. Are you right?"
Dong Xiaowei didn't want to know any answer from my mouth, so he immediately said without waiting for me to reply: "You go on!"
