Chapter 150: The Shadowlands (1)

The Queen Mother's words made me feel very uncomfortable, but I also knew that this was the Queen Mother's test of me, and I had to complete this task. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

So I glanced at Li Yingying directly, and then said, "You are staying here now, and I will go to find Ying'er." ”

Li Yingying shook her head and whispered, "You can't leave now, you have to wait for at least another six hours." Six hours later, twelve hours after the operation, the Queen Mother was in real danger of being released. ”

I hurriedly said: "Then you can't take your time to find Ying'er." ”

Li Yingying smiled: "Don't worry, Ying'er will be fine." ”

I was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the Queen Mother, who was looking at me, suddenly understood something, smiled, and slowly sat down.

Li Yingying asked me to take care of the Queen Mother, and I stayed by the Queen Mother's side with her.

Twelve hours later, the Queen Mother was finally out of danger. So I left first, back to Charlene's quarters, the small room on the first floor of the tower.

When Charlene saw me, she asked almost immediately, "Where have you been?" Have you heard about the Queen Mother's injury? ”

I laughed and said, "I was right next to the Queen Mother until just now." Rest assured, the Queen Mother is out of danger and nothing happens now. ”

Charlene smiled: "That's good, some people want to be bad for the Queen Mother, but I didn't expect that the Queen Mother had a noble person in her life, God sent you here and saved the Queen Mother's life." ”

I smiled and said, "The person who really helped to save the Queen Mother was Dr. Li, and I just did a little bit of help." ”

Charlene said very soberly: "Don't lie to me, you must have used your true qi to save the queen mother." Dr. Lee's medical skills are high, but she has nothing to do with the bullets that are particularly smeared with poison, and I don't think she can do anything. ”

I nodded slightly: "You're right, I did contribute." But this time, it was really Dr. Li who worked hard to save the Queen Mother. You don't know, I was next to me at the time, Dr. Li was sweating profusely from the operation, and his face was pale...... In that way, it is more tired than a person who has fought a big battle. ”

Charlene said with some emotion: "I didn't expect Dr. Li to work so hard...... No wonder she asked for 50,000 yuan at the time, it turned out that this money was not so easy to earn. ”

I smiled: "It's 100,000 now, Dongfang Yonghao personally agreed, but he can't go back." ”

Dongfang Yonghao, who was standing on the side, immediately said: "Don't worry, I won't lose my trust to Doctor Li for just 50,000 yuan." ”

I smiled, looked at Charlene and said, "How do you feel?" You put so many soldiers here, are you worried that someone will take advantage of the plane to your detriment? ”

Charlene said: "Actually, what worries me the most is not about me, but about the tower. ”

I was stunned: "Tower? What's there to worry about? ”

Charlene hesitated slightly, and it was better to say: "Actually, this is the case, the tower here is the last gate to enter our base, and it is also the last line of defense. ”

I was a little surprised: "How do you say that?" Why don't I see what else you have here? Is it underground? ”

Charlene nodded slightly: "The area you see now is also the base of our goddess organization. But we also have a very secret base outside of here, which we call the Shadowlands. It means that after entering, you can't even see your own shadow, and it's very dark. ”

I thought it was even more strange: "Is there no light in it?" Or are you not in time to install the lights yet? ”

Charlene smiled: "That's not the case, when I'm ready, I'll take you to see it myself, and you'll understand what I mean." ”

I smiled, "Okay, I look forward to you getting better soon." ”

Dongfang Yonghao immediately said: "If you want to go and see it, I can take you there now." ”

I shook my head, "Let's wait until Charlene is well, we still have something to do." ”

Dongfang Yonghao Qi said: "What do you want to do?" ”

I straightened my face: "The daughter of the Queen Mother, your princess, is missing. The Queen Mother had sent for the princess to come to her yesterday, but by now there was no sign of the man who had gone to find her. ”

Charlene frowned and said, "The princess has always had a lot of guards with her, how could she disappear for no reason?" There is something strange about this, I think we have to think about it, and I can't rush out to find the princess. ”

I admired Charlene a little and asked, "What do you think is the problem?" Let's talk about it. ”

Charlene pondered for a moment: "I think the princess should not be missing, but hiding." There may be an enemy who wants to work against her, so she finds a place to hide. Wait a minute, this place must be unknown to others, and there must be food and water...... I see, it's supposed to be the Shadowlands. ”

I really admired this girl in my heart, and said from the bottom of my heart: "You are the smartest girl I have ever seen!" Yes, I thought the same way, and according to the Queen Mother's unpanicked expression, I had already concluded that Miss Ying'er had not fallen into the hands of the enemy, and should have found a place to hide by herself. Then when I heard what you said about the Shadowlands, my first reaction was that Miss Ying'er had hid in it. But what I didn't expect was that Charlene, you just heard a few words from me, and immediately knew where Miss Ying'er might be hiding, so I can't help but admire you. ”

Charlene smiled: "I feel very happy to have the praise of my senior brother." Senior brother, if you go to the Land of Shadows with Dongfang Yonghao now, you should be able to find the princess. But there is one thing you have to remember, don't let anyone know about it, lest the enemy find out about your target and secretly follow and hurt the princess. ”

Dongfang Yonghao said: "Got it, don't worry, Miss, we will find the princess soon." ”

I raised my hand to stop Dongfang Yonghao from saying: "You can't leave here, for the safety of Charlene, you have to stay here." ”

Dongfang Yonghao Qi said: "You don't know where the Shadow Land is, how can a person go to find the princess?" ”

I felt a little embarrassed about this, but it was not impossible, so I said, "You tell me how to enter the Shadowlands, and I'll go find Miss Ying'er myself." You stay to protect Charlene and the Queen Mother, and you can't make mistakes. ”

Dongfang Yonghao glanced at Charlene and said in embarrassment: "You're right, but now I don't know how to enter the Shadow Land." I had to be there to know how I got to the Shadowlands at this time. ”

I wondered, "Is this still time?" How do I feel this mysterious? ”

Charlene said: "Dongfang Yonghao is right, the method of entering the Shadow Land is different from time to time, and you have to try it one by one after you get there." ”

I said, "Then you send me in first, and then you come back to protect Charlene and the Queen Mother, and I will go in alone to find the princess." ”

Dongfang Yonghao said: "It's only like this, outsiders can't easily believe it now...... Come with me. ”

I followed Dongfang Yonghao, and saw that he had no intention of leaving the tower, but just walked around the room, and then squatted down and reached out to lift a wooden board on the ground.

I saw a hole the size of a face plate under the plank, and it was pitch black, and I don't know how deep it was.

Dongfang Yonghao took out two flashlights, gave me one, and said: "Follow me, don't fall behind, it's easy to get lost." ”

I saw that he jumped directly into this cave, and knew that it must not be very deep, and when I shone it with a flashlight, it was really not deep, that is, about three meters. But because it was dark inside, I don't know how deep it is.

With my skills and that of Dongfang Yonghao, this height is still very easy to deal with, so we jumped directly.

The bottom of the cave is many times larger than the entrance of the cave, and it is as big as the room above.

I stood still and saw Dongfang Yonghao open a door. An iron gate, a very strong iron gate.

Behind the door it was pitch black again, as if nothing existed. Dongfang Yonghao carefully inspected the dark place behind the door for a while, and finally said, "Follow me." Then he walked in.

I followed him closely, knowing that this kind of place was too dark and it was easy to get lost and not to be too far away from him.

I followed him for a good 10 minutes and then I saw him stop. I asked curiously, "What's going on?" ”

Dongfang Yonghao said: "I almost went the wrong way, we should go to the left now, follow me." ”

I glanced at the obviously wider passage on the right, and couldn't help but say, "Is the passage on the right dangerous now?" ”

Dongfang Yonghao said: "If you go on the right, you will turn back to the original place, and you will never find your way to the Shadow Land. ”

I nodded slightly, and said secretly: "It seems that this is a place like the Qimen Dunjia Formation in ancient times, and it is easy to go the wrong way and be sent back." ”

Dongfang Yonghao said: "Actually, it's okay to be sent back, what I'm afraid is that after we make a mistake, we enter the snake cave, the arrow array, or the cold water pool, the mud mass, etc., then we will definitely die." ”

I frowned and said, "It's so dangerous here, why would the princess choose to take refuge here?" Do you all have your own ways of avoiding the dangers here? ”

Dongfang Yonghao nodded: "After several years of exploration and experimentation, we finally discovered the secret here. This is actually an ancient formation, used to confuse the invading enemy. It's amazing, and even though we know how to walk in it, we still haven't been able to figure out how it works. Jincang, do you know why this scenic spot here has been sealed by the state? ”

I subconsciously said, "Is it because of this big array?" ”

Dongfang Yonghao smiled: "You guessed right." At that time, when this large array was discovered, many people died, and even your government army, many people were killed here because they came to carry out reconnaissance missions. ”

I frowned and said, "This should be top secret, how do you know?" ”

Dongfang Yonghao sneered: "My father is one of those soldiers, if he hadn't met Miss's father, that is, the previous generation of young masters of my family, my father would have died here a long time ago, and there would be no me Dongfang Yonghao alive." ”

I was taken aback: "Your father is also a soldier?" Also sent here for reconnaissance missions? When did this happen? Why haven't I heard of it? What happened? ”

Dongfang Yonghao said: "My father is a soldier, and after coming here, he accidentally broke into the arrow array and was almost killed. Fortunately, he was saved by the father of the young lady who came here for a tour at the time. At that time, it was a famous scenic spot, and many people came to visit. It was also my father's life that should not have been extinguished, and he was saved. Since then, our family has followed Miss and their family and has been protecting them. ”

Only then did I understand why Dongfang Yonghao followed Xia Lin and called Xia Lin Miss. So I said, "Then your father told Charlene's father the secret here?" ”

Dongfang Yonghao nodded: "Father, out of gratitude, told Miss and their family everything here." At that time, Miss's family was very rich and powerful. Therefore, after discussion, they decided to use this place as a base to develop their own army and power. After decades of hard work, they succeeded, had their own army, and also had this base. ”

But I had a question: "This was originally a scenic area, how could the state allow you to come here to develop your strength?" This ......"

Dongfang Yonghao smiled: "That's why I said that Miss, their family is strong." At that time, we found some local people and paid them to spread the word about our numbering. I heard my father say that at that time we made up the story that there were gods living on this mountain, and in order not to disturb the gods, no mortals should live here, otherwise someone would die for no reason, and it might bring disaster to the whole country. Not many people would have believed this, but after we deliberately arrested a few locals and scared them a few times, some people actually believed it. ”

I said angrily: "What are you doing here, you have lost your conscience, you have fooled the people, and you have endangered the people here by force." ”

Dongfang Yonghao paused slightly, and then said: "We didn't really hurt them, we just scared them a few times." But to our surprise, the local government almost immediately ordered all the people here to move away from here. Even the scenic area here has found a reason to close. So we successfully occupied this place, looking at the development of our own forces, and slowly got into today's situation. ”

I continued: "But in order not to be discovered by outsiders, you deliberately do not manage the roads and houses here, and even deliberately live in those houses in the scenic area. Right? ”

Dongfang Yonghao nodded: "You are really smart, you can understand it at one point." You're right, in order to prevent outsiders from discovering us, we live in these scenic houses, and we deliberately don't repair the roads here, and sometimes we even see outsiders coming by unintentionally, and we will pretend to be ghosts...... Hey...... After those people were frightened by us, they went back and spread the word about the ghosts here, and now, there is no one who dares to come here. ”

I sighed: "That's your luck, if you meet someone who is not afraid of death, maybe you will find out about your existence." ”

Dongfang Yonghao said: "There are really people, but they have all become our people now." As for the method we use, what do you think it would be? ”

I immediately said, "Isn't it just money, what is there to sell?" ”

Dongfang Yonghao smiled: "You are really amazing, you guessed right again!" Jincang, then guess again, why is it that we still haven't discovered our existence with such advanced technology? ”

When I think about it, it's impossible not to find out about their lives in this area, just like the satellites today. So I said, "Do you all hide in those houses during the day, or here, and only go out at night?" ”

Dongfang Yonghao laughed: "You are wrong. This is just a passage, and you can't hide people. As for those houses, now they have thermal imaging technology, do you think they won't be discovered if they are hidden in the house? ”

When I knew what he was telling was true, I wondered even more, "Why is that?" Is it so hard that I deliberately ignore you? ”

Dongfang Yonghao shook his head: "I don't know why, but I know that no matter what high-tech things are, they will fail when they get here." And the more advanced the stuff, the more useless it is here. ”

My heart fluttered, and I immediately said, "Could it be that there is a strange magnetic field here that interferes with those high-tech devices?" ”

Dongfang Yonghao said: "Maybe that's the case, but I really don't know the specific reason." However, you might as well take a look at your phone, and if it still works, I can do whatever you want. ”

I hurriedly took out my phone, but saw that there was no signal on it, and the screen kept flashing strange ripples and snowflakes, and it was completely unusable.

Dongfang Yonghao smiled: "Now you know that I didn't lie to you, right?" ”

I nodded: "It should be a very disordered magnetic field, which interferes with all the high-tech things here......"

Dongfang Yonghao suddenly interrupted me: "We have arrived. In front of it is the underground river, and the underground river is the Shadowlands. ”

Then I realized that when he was talking to me, my attention was all drawn to his words, and I didn't even notice that we had gone far, far away.

Dongfang Yonghao looked at me with regret on his face, and said with a smile: "Even if you remember the path just now, it's useless, it will change in a while." You go to the princess now, and I'll go back to protect the young lady and the queen mother." After finding the young lady, she knows how to get out and will take you out. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and I wanted to speak, but I saw Dongfang Yonghao's figure flashing, unprecedentedly fast, and left in the blink of an eye. It was too dark here, and the light of the flashlight couldn't shine far away, and I lost the trace of Dongfang Yonghao in an instant.

I knew that he did it on purpose, and I knew that he never gave up the idea of killing me, so I had to say secretly: "I took all precautions, but you still calculated it." I can only find Ying'er now, because only Ying'er can take me out of here. Otherwise, I'll either be killed by the mechanism here, or I'll be trapped here. ”

I felt a little guilty and regretted a little in my heart, but I knew that I had only one way to find Ying'er to survive now, so I put aside all my distractions and observed everything here with a flashlight when I watched.

At the end of the passage, a circular space was formed, surrounded by the same passages as when I came here just now, densely packed, to say the least, there were more than a dozen. In the middle of these passages, there was one that was noticeably much wider, and I looked at it, at least twice the size of the others, and it seemed that it should be the main passage into the Shadowlands.

It's no wonder that many people get lost after coming in, such a complicated passage, even people who come often, will get lost if they are not careful.

After I looked at the passage here for a while, I felt that one head and two were big, although I was not a road idiot, but I also had a natural fear of unfamiliar environments. Coupled with the fact that it was pitch black and you couldn't see your fingers, it added to the dread.

So I hurried into the wider main passageway, and then walked cautiously into the depths. I walked for about half an hour along the way, and I didn't find any trace of Ying'er except for the dark passages and forks. To be honest, let me come to Ying'er, it's completely difficult for a strong man. Because I don't know where Ying'er will hide, and I am not familiar with the environment here. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to find someone who has been here for a long time?
