Chapter 14: Secrets
After the emotion, the current trouble still has to be solved, my original plan was to follow the team in front of me to leave here, now there is one more wounded, if not treated in time, he is likely to die of excessive blood loss, the situation is forced, it seems that the plan needs to change.
"How long will it take to catch up with them?"
"Chasing? I was plotted by the people in the team! ”
Hua Zeng's words reminded me that Er Lengzi said before he died that there were internal ghosts in their team and wanted to kill all of them, if Er Leng Zi and Hua Zeng were all victimized by that inner ghost? That Sanjiu's situation is dangerous!
People's hearts are so complicated, although I can't fully trust Sanjiu, but I treat him as a more familiar person, and I can't help but worry about him, besides, he saved me several times, I really don't want to see him die here.
But I can't show in front of Hua Zeng that I know about the existence of the inner ghost, because this matter was told to me by Erlengzi, and my conversation with Erlengzi will be a secret forever, and anyone who asks in the future will say that it is his corpse that I encountered!
I feigned surprise and asked, "Is there anyone in the team plotting against you?" Why? ”
Hua Zeng's face was full of helplessness, and he shook his head and said: "I don't know, I doubt ......."
He seemed to think of something, shook his head sharply twice, as if he wanted to distract the things he thought of from his mind, followed the conversation, and said to me: "Sanjiu hid from us that you were also at the entrance of the underground palace, assuming that he already knew that you had amnesia, and not letting us find out about you was tantamount to protecting you, I remember that he had a holiday with you, why, you are really allied?" ”
I didn't expect him to turn the topic to this, and answered vaguely, in fact, I'm not a liar, Sanjiu and I have experienced danger several times, and he hasn't abandoned me, it should barely be regarded as an 'alliance'!
It's Hua Zeng, the city is a little deep, the entrance to the underground palace he said is probably a big mushroom, Sanjiu didn't tell them that I was there at the time, but he actually noticed it, and he, like Sanjiu, chose to hide from others, isn't it strange?
Just looking at his reaction, he must not have known that I had amnesia, so his purpose was definitely not to protect me, just when I was not sure whether to go with him, I heard him lower his voice and said: "I know the password of the treasure box, let me join the gang, let's work together, and then the ancient book will be in triplicate, how about it?" ”
I looked dazed and asked, "Aren't you here to find books?" Why did another crate come out? And the password! ”
After hearing this, he raised his eyebrows proudly and said with a smile: "The ancient book is locked in a treasure box with a self-destruct device, and a password is required to open it, and I am the only one who knows about it." ”
Not to mention that he is deep in the city, and there is a big secret hidden in his heart, so that the relationship between the members of the team is even more complicated, he is Zhao Wuye's subordinate, but he keeps such a key secret in his heart, which means that the relationship between them is not close and solid, and it may be that he is not Zhao Wuye's confidant.
He has the last key information, this information is only useful after the treasure box is in hand, in other words, I am him, first of all, I must get rid of Zhao Wuye and act alone, and get the treasure box before the others, once Zhao Wuye gets it first, he will have no chance to start.
There is no Zhao Wuye in their team, maybe this kid is very close to success, but he was disrupted by the inner ghost who suddenly appeared, fortunately he met me who caught up, otherwise, he would not only not get the ancient book, but also lose his life.
But these assumptions have the premise that he is more familiar with the terrain and routes than anyone else, which means that he is the other map on the team besides me!
In fact, I have long suspected that I am not the only one in the team who knows the way, and after learning that I have amnesia, Sanjiu and Wu Feng both acted fearlessly, and they didn't seem to be worried about finding their way at all.
I don't know how they worked together, or what private agreements they made, except that with the map, not only would they be able to get out of here, and the latter would be the way to me.
As quickly as I could, I asked the key question: "Are you confident you'll find the crate first?" ”
Hua Zeng thief smiled sheepishly: "If you don't have any hole cards, who dares to wade into this troubled water?" ”
When I got the answer I wanted, I was a little determined that as long as I kept his living map, I wouldn't have to worry about being trapped here.
Without waiting for me to reply, he winked mysteriously at me and continued: "That little white face told others that he had a map in his hand, but in fact he had two, except for the one he gave you, and I got the rest. There is a shortcut to the center of the dungeon marked on the map, and I was worried that I couldn't find your help, but now it can be said that there is nowhere to find it when I step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it! ”
Listen to what he means, you still need my help to take shortcuts, no wonder he wants to cooperate with me, I can see through these guys, all of them are unprofitable masters.
I didn't hesitate, and simply replied: "It's no problem for me to help, but you have to get Sanjiu out first, someone in your team is plotting against you, that person may also plot against Sanjiu, and it is more likely that he wants to swallow the ancient book alone and will kill all of you, do you know who he is?" ”
I can't tell him Erlengzi's warning, but I can lead his thoughts in this direction, and people with deep thoughts are easily influenced.
Sure enough, he listened to my words, his eyes flashed, and after a long time, he said: "There is a person who is the most suspicious, but he is the most unlikely one, I can't be sure now." ”
I asked, "Who do you suspect?" ”
He softly spit out two words: "Young Master." ”
I've heard these two words, before the mushrooms were blown up, someone once asked, 'How is the young master', then this person is indeed one of their team, of course I have no impression, to be precise, I have no impression of any of them.
Hua Zeng also knew that I was now in amnesia, so he had to explain to me: "He is the youngest son of Zhao Wuye, he has never been involved in his father's affairs before, when he was hiding from the goblin at the entrance of the dungeon, he was bitten by the black snake on the mushroom and has been in a coma, which is why I said that he is the most unlikely candidate, unless he pretends to be unconscious, otherwise he can't do it, but except for him, everyone else is under my nose, and if they want to do it to me, they can't escape my eyes, so now I can't think of a reason." ”
This plot is about to catch up with the suspense novel, and as a bystander, I feel that my head is big just listening to it, and it is normal for him to be in a puzzle and not understand it for a while.
While I was pondering, he suddenly asked, "Have you seen Erlengzi's corpse?" ”
I nodded, "See, I took his lighter." ”
He was surprised: "Do you remember Erlengzi?" ”
I hurriedly said, "I don't remember, it was Wu Feng who talked about him and said that the mushrooms were fried by him." ”
Hua Zeng glared sharply and asked in a loud voice, "Who?" Wu Feng? When did he tell you? ”
I startled him by his startled appearance, and replied with little confidence: "After you left, I met Wu Feng, and he came down the entrance you dug with him, and he ......"
Before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by him, his face was as white as a ghost, and he said in a trembling voice: "Wu Feng has always been with us, and he is in our team!" ”
