Chapter 32: Looking for Black Charcoal, Dean of the Spiritual Academy
"Snake?!"
The palm of his hand was cold, and a small green snake ten centimeters long and the thickness of his little thumb was lying there quietly, like an earthworm, which made people shudder.
I was so frightened that I hurriedly threw the little snake out of the air, and it was at this moment that Jing Han pulled me up from the ground and shouted, "Hurry up!"
"Huh?"
"I can't deal with this man!"
Jing Han's words were very concise, enough for me to understand the importance of running for my life now, and I didn't care about anything else at the moment, so I followed her and quickly ran away in another direction.
The moment he turned the intersection, Jing Han, who was running in front, suddenly stopped, turned around and threw something at the ground behind him, and then the entire section of the labyrinth passage was filled with smoke and stench.
I only saw Wu Ming covering his nose and being covered by smoke and dust, and then he was pulled by Jing Han, who ran back again, and ran in an unknown direction.
"I used the 'Substitute Gu' to rescue you just now, but I don't know if Wu Ming's spell will be transferred back to you after the Substitute Gu effect disappears, so we must stay away from him as soon as possible. The smoke emitted from the 'rotten Gu' I dropped lasted for about half an hour, which was enough time for us to go down two floors. Follow me, there are marks in the maze that I made with the 'Pathfinder Gu', don't run around!"
Jing Han led the way in front of her, and while talking, it was completely useless for me and Liang Tianyu to ask questions, she answered the doubts in our hearts. Such a thoughtful, diverse, and skilled girl is simply rare in the world!
However, although he clearly knew that Jinghan was very well arranged. But I couldn't help but ask a question.
"Jinghan, why do you want to run down, do you know how to get out, can't we just leave this maze?"
"No, I can't leave yet. Yan is right and wrong, you have to do me a favor. ”
"What's the busy?"
"Help me get the black charcoal back. ”
"Black charcoal?!"
As soon as Jing Han said this, I suddenly realized that the half-faced black cat she had been holding was gone.
I understand, no wonder Jing Han, who is so strong, hasn't left the hell maze for so long, it turns out that she is looking for that cat here.
But the problem is. Why did she care so much about that cat? Haven't I been detached from cats a long time ago?
I didn't understand why, Jinghan didn't talk to me anymore, just silently led the way in front, and didn't stop until he ran to the stairwell of this layer of the labyrinth.
"You two don't move yet. The staircase here has an illusion enchantment attached to it. The same flight of stairs leads to different places. I'll use the Pathfinder Gu to explore the way first, and determine which side can lead directly to the next staircase, and then let's go. ”
Jinghan said. Reach out and put it on your waist to take something out, but with me, how can I let a beautiful woman do such a path-finding thing.
I stepped forward, raised my hand to stop her movements, pointed to the stairs and whispered, "I can recognize that Nabi is the right path, come with me." ”
As soon as I stepped on the stairs, two different target locations suddenly appeared in front of me, and after confirming where the stairwell was on the next floor, everything was easy to do.
Walking down the next floor, and then down the next floor, I felt that it was still not very safe, so I continued to walk down with Jing Han and Liang Tianyu, until after four floors in a row, Jing Han reached out and grabbed me.
"Alright, don't go any further. ”
"What's the matter, is this the end?"
"No, as far as I can remember, this is the eighth layer of the labyrinth, and I can't go any further. ”
"No, isn't there a total of nine layers in the Hell Labyrinth, why can't you go down?"
"I don't know, but I've been going around in circles in this eighth-floor stairwell all these days. ”
Jing Han sighed and shook her head, shaking the black veil in front of her face, and then she told what happened to her in the past few days.
It turned out that when we first entered here to participate in the assessment, Jing Han was accidentally teleported to the Gu Academy of Heavenly Dao University.
As a Gu cultivator, isn't it like a fish in water when he enters the Gu Academy?
Jing Han easily passed the assessment of the first three levels of the Gu Academy and entered the maze with a map. If things have been going so well, I believe that Jinghan will definitely surpass me and the fat man and become the first person to pass the assessment in this class of freshmen. But who knew that as soon as she entered the labyrinth, the half-faced cat "Black Charcoal", who had been very quiet and obedient from beginning to end, suddenly broke free from her embrace and scurried around in the maze.
Jing Han had no choice but to follow the cat around until Black Tan rushed down the stairs on that floor, and Jing Han went to a different place after going downstairs, and one person and one cat were completely separated.
Jing Han tried all kinds of methods, using four or five Gu worms that he carried with him to barely let himself get lost in the maze, and at the same time made sure that the cat was going down the stairs.
Realizing this, she guessed that the cat went downstairs for a purpose, so she continued to follow downstairs, this time she didn't find the black charcoal, but she contacted Liang Tianyu first.
Jinghan just said that he was going to "find someone", so he didn't communicate much with Liang Tianyu, which also caused Liang Tianyu and Zhenzhen to go upstairs before they found out about the pit setting of the maze stairs, and it was also because of this that I was able to get in touch with Liang Tianyu and them later.
This is how the whole thing happened, and Jinghan searched all the way, and finally determined that the cat "Black Carbon" kept going downstairs and went to the bottom of the entire maze.
But the problem was that the stairs she kept going down the stairs didn't take her to a new place at all, as if there was a wall blocking her path. However, the "Searching Gu" followed the smell left by the black charcoal and found it, which obviously proved that the cat had gone down again.
Jing Han stayed here to study the way to go downstairs, and before she could find out the results, she encountered a change in the route of the maze, and she herself was taken to another floor.
After changing the location, Jinghan could only continue to look for the way downstairs, and after a busy time, he came to this staircase that could not go down, looking for a solution, but before he could find a reason, another day passed......
Arguably. In the past few days, what Jinghan has done is either walking on the way downstairs or looking for how to go downstairs.
It wasn't until today, when she acted again, that she accidentally heard the conversation between us and Wu Ming coming from inside the Sound Transmission Gu, and what happened before.
After Jing Han finished telling his experience, he raised his hand and pointed to the stairs descending in front of us, and said softly, "At first, I thought that the place where we were standing was the ninth floor, and the place where the stairs led was not within the range of the freshmen of Tiandao University who were allowed to go. But then I tried to go up and checked the number of floors. Only to find that there are a total of eight floors on it. The place where the stairs lead is the ninth floor. In other words, downstairs is a hell labyrinth connected by a certain college of Tiandao University, but I don't know why I can't go on.
But then I figured it out. The reason why I can't go down must be because of the layer below. Or rather, this ninth house is only accessible to special students. Black charcoal can pass. I think you can do it too. ”
Jing Han turned her finger and pointed at me, which made me feel flattered.
"Jinghan. You mean to let me go down and get the black charcoal back?"
"Yes. I can't think of anyone else but you. ”
"Okay, no problem, I'll leave this little thing to me. However, how can the above Wu Ming be solved?"
"That person ......"
Hearing my question, Jinghan was speechless for a while.
Actually, I didn't mean to embarrass her, I just wanted them to leave this place of right and wrong temporarily.
Because if I could actually go to the next level, there would be no danger in the first place, and my instinct told me that the place where the cat dared to go must be a good place for me. Secondly, ordinary people can't go down, and that Wu Ming naturally can't go over, and I'm not afraid of him chasing after him.
But once I'm gone, do Jing Han and Liang Tianyu have to wait here all the time?
Of course not, if Jing Han could deal with Wu Ming, there would be no need to run just now.
Well, they have to go.
As soon as I thought of this, I opened my mouth to say what I thought, but before the words came out, Jing Han on the other side nodded first and said, "I know how to go out, Yan is right or wrong, I'm waiting for you outside." ”
After saying this, Jing Han turned his head and left directly!
Ay?
This...... What's going on, I didn't say anything, what does it mean that I didn't have a chance to say a word at all?
I was stupid, and at the same time, Liang Tianyu came over and patted me on the shoulder.
"Yan is right and wrong, I'm also leaving, you have to hurry up, Wu Ming's matter is not over, we have to find out why he killed people!"
Leaving these words, Liang Tianyu left quickly.
The two of them walked very freely, but the question is why are they in such a hurry, do they just believe me so much, without confirming whether I can get downstairs?
Alas......
There was no way, everyone was gone, and I had to turn around and face the stairs going down.
As soon as you step out, the staircase immediately reveals how it differs from the floors above, as there is only one exit at the end of the staircase.
I don't know what Jinghan saw when he walked here, or what he encountered, I only knew that after walking down a dozen steps, I came to a strange place unhindered.
It seems to be a labyrinth of hell, but there are no turns or turns in this passageway, one end is an exit to the outside world, and the other end is a red-lacquered wooden door for an office.
It's strange that I have to let people come down, and after this, you can go out directly.
By the way, I'm here to look for the cat, I haven't seen it outside, so it has to go to the office on the other side.
Strolling to the door, there was a bronze sign hanging on the door, and more than a dozen red letters were written on it "Tiandao University Spirit College Dean's Office".
Dean, what a big name, who will be here?
With a nervous mood, I reached out to knock on the door, but halfway through my hand, I heard a loud "bang" from inside the house, followed by someone's roar.
"Uncle, you dead cat be honest with me! Isn't it all for your good, you still run, you still run, believe it or not, I slaughtered you. ”
"Meow ......"
"Hey, I'm a grumpy person, if you make trouble again, I won't care about you, believe it or not, if you continue like this, sooner or later you will throw your brain out!"
"Meow ......"
"If you don't believe it, you have to believe it, come over to me!"
"Meow ......"
The last cat meow was so miserable that the hairs on my body exploded, and I didn't care about any politeness or impoliteness at the moment, so I just reached out and pushed the door open.
The door opened, and everything inside completely changed my perception of the world.
First of all, this is really an office, with desks, office chairs, bookcases, filing cabinets, etc., which seems to be normal.
Secondly, there is an uncle with a small head, a black cat with a half face, a snow-white Satsuma, a parrot standing on a shelf, a monkey nibbling bananas, and a mouse watching the excitement...... Wait, wait, I can't look at a living thing, this doesn't seem normal.
In addition, the office was in a mess with all kinds of documents scattered all over the floor. A bottle of ink lay on the ground, still bubbling black water, a shriveled soccer ball lying on the ground, two ping-pong rackets facing each other, and a crooked bicycle standing next to it...... Wait, wait, wait, dead thing that can't be seen at a glance, this TM is really abnormal.
However, in the end, there is the most abnormal thing, that is, the only person in the room, that is, the uncle, at the moment, is holding the neck of the half-faced black cat Black Charcoal with one hand, and holding an unknown object with the other hand, and pressing the whole body of Black Charcoal on the bench on one knee and half kneeling. Why does this scene remind me of Mr. Zhao Zhongxiang's opening remarks in "Animal World"!
I'm rubbing, what is this!
Pushing open the door, I felt like I was entering another world, and I really wanted to quit and reopen it to verify that I had opened it the right way.
And everything in the house, it seems that there will be outsiders who don't expect to appear, everything is frozen in place.
It was a long period of calm, and it wasn't until the black charcoal who was suppressed by the uncle saw that it was me and let out a wail, and this peace was completely broken.
"Boom!"
The bike is upside down.
"Smack!"
The ping-pong racket fell.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
The monkey escaped through the window with a banana, Satsuma rushed into the dog cage with a smoke, the mouse swooped and disappeared into the corner, and the parrot ...... Well, the parrot still stands on the bookshelf and combs its feathers.
In the blink of an eye, everything in the office changed again, and it didn't give people a chance to react.
What the hell is going on, and where am I breaking into?
I don't know how many turns I made in my head at that time, and I don't even know if I still have the ability to think as a normal person, anyway, after facing such a strange office and seeing such a strange scene, I actually slowly raised my hand and said......
"Hey!"
Finally, this "hi" brought the uncle back to his senses who was having a "friendly exchange" with the cat.
I saw him raise his eyebrows, and he waved his hand at me as well, and said......
"Hi. (To be continued......)
PS: The most critical task is about to appear, Yixing's favorite uncle, hehe~
