Chapter 178: The Clues Left by Wen Jing
After placing the remains of Wang Quan and others, we continued to go deeper along the tunnel.
More than an hour later, we noticed in the distance that there was a light in the depths of the cave.
I immediately asked everyone to turn off their flashlights and take advantage of the darkness to touch all the way.
As the distance slowly shortened, I realized that the bright position was the exit of the cave, and after reaching the exit, I stretched out my head and peeked out: holding grass, this is actually a large cave hall - the size of several football fields!
The cave hall is surrounded by first-class large copper lamps, which are burning vigorously.
I wondered, I thought, "Is this the place where that monster lives?" Otherwise, who lit these lamps?
Just as he was wondering, a man with a torch came out of the corner.
Take a closer look, Nima is actually Hong Kaiyuan!
"Fatty, why are you here?" I immediately shouted.
It is estimated that Hong Kaiyuan didn't expect someone to call him here, so he was frightened on the spot, turned his head and saw that it was me, and immediately scolded him.
"Do you want to scare Lao Tzu to death? Don't you know that this hellish place is already panicked?"
As soon as the words fell, another person came out behind Hong Kaiyuan - Ji Wushuang.
"How did you find it?" I asked.
"If it weren't for Wushuang's cleverness, I would have confessed here this time, fat man!" Hong Kaiyuan handed the torch to Ji Wushuang, patted his chest and continued: "Ding Juntai Nima of the dog day is amazing. At first, Wushuang thought he was out of his tracking, so he rushed to find me. ”
"Who knows, this grandson has been secretly following, and as a result, he has gambled on the two of us in a dead end. Thanks to Wushuang's timely power, they were scared away!"
While speaking, Hong Kaiyuan glanced at Yu Jian behind me very strangely, frowned, and said, "What about my sister, how could he carry my sister's bag?"
Seeing him ask, I had to give a general explanation of what had happened.
After hearing this, Hong Kaiyuan immediately beat his chest, regretting that he shouldn't have made such a bad idea, so I persuaded him in turn.
"Lao Qi, if the girl has three strengths and two shortcomings, the first thing Lao Tzu will do when he goes back will be to dismantle the Flying Eagle Group! Pull out their leader and crush the bones and scatter ashes!!" Hong Kaiyuan was extremely sad and indignant.
"Let's talk about this later, how to find her as soon as possible now!" I felt sad in my heart, but I couldn't show it well, so I could only forcibly suppress my emotions and change the topic: "Where did you come from?"
"Before you came, I had already circled this place, and there are at least six tunnels connected to this cave hall, and we came from the second one over there. Hong Kaiyuan pointed to a dark hole on the right.
"You lit these lamps too?"
Hong Kaiyuan nodded: "Because I don't know how big this place is, and I can't see the specific situation clearly, so I lit the lamp with Wushuang first." ”
"Is there anything else you have found?" I asked again.
"There is a huge stone platform in the center of this cave hall, and I found this on the platform!" Hong Kaiyuan handed me something as he spoke.
As soon as I saw it, I felt a pain in my heart: it was the pearl bracelet I bought for Wen Jing, and several of the beads were engraved with her name.
This shows that the girl once stayed on that stage. Hong Kaiyuan continued.
When I took the bracelet, I noticed that it was not damaged in the slightest, so I said, "Go and have a look at the stone platform." ”
"Let's go, over there. Hong Kaiyuan left first.
"Uncle Qi, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Sister Jing'er. Ji Wushuang said to me timidly in a weak mosquito and fly voice.
"I don't blame you!" I smiled bitterly and followed Hong Kaiyuan.
As a whole, the stone platform is indeed located in the center of the entire cave hall, and because of the distance, the light cannot shine on this position. It occupies an area of about 10 meters by 10 meters, made of bluestone, in addition to the steps around it, the middle platform is a large bluestone of about 2 meters by 2 meters by 2 meters, and the height is about 1 meter.
When approaching the stone platform, Hong Kaiyuan pointed to a rectangular trace in the middle of the stone platform and said: "Old Qi, you see, before I came, there should have been a square thing here, the trace is still very new, and it should be moved away not long ago." The girl's bracelet fell in this position. As he spoke, Hong Kaiyuan pointed out the position of the bracelet to me again.
"According to Uncle Qi, could it be that monster swept Sister Jing'er here and stayed for a while, and when it left, it accidentally dropped the bracelet!" Ji Wushuang frowned.
"No, it won't. I said in a deep voice: "This should be the girl who deliberately took it off and put it here, the purpose is to leave us a clue!"
"Alas, my sister is too, what's the use of this kind of clue? I can only tell us that she has been here!" Hong Kaiyuan smiled bitterly.
"You're wrong!" I took a deep breath and continued, "The girl told me at least two things. ”
"What?!" everyone didn't quite understand what I said.
"First, she told me that she wasn't in much danger right now, and that the monster should just kidnap her, and that it didn't mean to hurt her for the time being!" I explained. "Second, she also told me that what used to be there here was important, at least, because the monster had taken her away!"
"Crooked?!" Hong Kaiyuan was still puzzled.
"The reason is very simple, if the monster had controlled her very tightly, she should not have had a chance to take off the bracelet so calmly, which can be seen from the fact that the bracelet is very intact, you know, when I customized this thing, I was worried that it would fall off easily, it was designed to be relatively tight, and it was not easy to take it off. ”
"For this, the girl blamed me several times, saying that it was too safe, even if the robbers came to rob it, it would be more difficult. Therefore, the act of taking off this bracelet is difficult to hide from the monster, unless it gives the girl a very lenient restriction!"
"Secondly, since she has the opportunity to take off the bracelet, it will have an effect wherever she throws it, so why should she still be here?
Except that Hong Kaiyuan and Ji Wushuang were accustomed to my style, Yu Jian and the four of them were already dumbfounded.
"Maybe the reason she was kidnapped by that monster had something to do with it!" I added at the end.
"Yes, since it killed Colonel Wang and ten others, and took Miss Wen away alone, there must be a reason for this!" Yu Jian muttered.
"We're all here for the first time, and that monster won't know the girl, right?" Hong Kaiyuan scratched his head.
"How could it be! Definitely not for this reason. Ji Wushuang immediately shouted: "I remember Sister Jing'er said that it was the first time she had come to the desert when she grew so big!"
"She hasn't been here, it doesn't mean that the monster hasn't been to the mainland, maybe it's really seen the girl!" Hong Kaiyuan said.
"Could it be that this monster and Sister Jing'er had some holiday before?" Ji Wushuang looked confused.
I didn't say anything, but I thought there was something interesting about what they were saying.
