Chapter 186: Mother Leaf
Brother Li, oh no, I should call him Demon Li, where will he take the engineer is the question I want to know the most!
Sanjiu and I have searched the underground base, and the place where they can be accommodated must be outside our search area, and I think of the secret passage he said, maybe the secret passage is true, but his story is not his own.
Sanjiu heard my idea and nodded in agreement, we found the nearest vent and climbed in one after another, from the ventilation duct, we can indeed walk to every corner of the base.
There was dust everywhere in the pipes, and Sanjiu carefully identified the traces, and the traces left by the Li Demon Man dragging the engineer must be different from crawling alone.
It didn't take long for Sanjiu to find these particular drag marks, and of course, Sanjiu told me that they weren't exactly drag marks, and judging by the messy marks, he thought the engineer had woken up not long after, and had struggled violently.
I wondered, "Then why didn't he cry out for help?" So we can hear where he is! ”
Sanjiu said: "It should be that you can't make a sound." ”
I thought about it and thought it was more likely, so I didn't ask any more questions and followed Sanjiu through the intricate pipes.
About fifteen minutes later, he stopped at an open exit, and I released a corpse puppet to jump down to explore the way, and found no traps or traps before letting Sanjiu go down.
The backup power supply of the base has been exhausted, I turned on the flashlight for Sanjiu above, and as soon as he saw the situation in the room below, he hurriedly shouted that I should not go down.
Synchronizing with his voice was the pattern on the ground, which was an outer ring and an inner circle. Glowing patterns painted in circles filled with quirky symbols.
At least it didn't start glowing until Sanjiu spoke, and it was right in front of the vent, and if we jumped one after the other, we would jump into the center of the pattern.
"This is a formation, used to trap living creatures." Sanjiu stood still and explained to me.
"We've been fooled!" I was annoyed in my heart, just thinking that the corpse puppet would be fine, but I didn't expect that there was a formation specially prepared for living creatures.
"Don't be afraid, I have a way to get out." Sanjiu looked up at me and said soothingly.
He finished. Slice through the palm with a short sword. It seems that he carved a symbol in the palm of his hand, and then pressed his palm on a symbol on the north side of the formation.
The formation that had just emitted a red light immediately faded and returned to its original appearance, but it didn't wait for me to be happy. The voice of the Li demon came from the corner of the room.
"The one above. Don't hurry down yet! ”
"Okay."
"Don't—"
Sanjiu and I spoke at the same time. But his words were a little slower than mine, and I had already jumped down when he spoke, and he glared fiercely at the Li demon in the corner.
Li Demon laughed heartily. The laughter was actually a woman's voice, and it sounded a little impressive.
"Do you remember me? Friends! "Li Demon Man uses the appearance of a man to make a female voice, which makes people feel very awkward.
"Mother leaves." Sanjiu decisively said a name.
"It's me, long time no see, didn't you expect to see me again?"
"What about the engineer?"
"Don't worry, my fellow countryman, this body won't last long, your little friend, just lend it to me, how about it? I promise that in the future, our well water will not interfere with river water. ”
"You promise? Do you have what it takes? ”
"Whether I have the ability or not, just look at the palm of your little lover."
"What did you say?"
"He has fallen for the 'puppet show' I developed, a poison that will not kill people, but will turn people into unwitting humanoid dolls!"
I immediately grabbed Sanjiu's hand, and at the palm of his broken palm, the black dark spot had spread from the palm to the arm, and I pulled his neckline again, and the plum blossom-shaped dark spot extended to the left side of his chest.
I looked at the formation symbols on the ground, the paint used to draw the symbols was poisonous, it was a comic book!
If Sanjiu doesn't cut through his palm, he won't be able to get out of the circle, but as long as he touches the circle symbol on the ground with his hand, he will be poisoned.
"Mother leaf, are you tired of being alive?" When I say this, I am very calm, even my heart is calm, maybe this is the state of anger to the extreme.
"No, no, no, I didn't live enough, and it was because I wanted to live that I had to make this decision."
"What is your purpose?"
"Be strong, so strong that no one can hurt me."
"Why do you want to arrest engineers?"
"Don't tell me you don't know that his physique is special, the human body, whether it is a dress or a puppet, is too unforbidden, that young man is different, he can't be broken easily!"
"Well, I promise you, our well water will not interfere with the river water, and the man will belong to you, but you must give me the antidote immediately."
"Don't worry, the poison in him is only effective in S City, and nothing will happen if you leave S City, so you'd better never come back."
"Yes."
I know that I can't help her now, because Brother Li is just a puppet she manipulates, and her puppeting technique is different from mine, and she is afraid that she can know what is happening here and now through the eyes and ears of the manipulated.
And she herself is definitely not here, even if I kill Brother Li, she will not suffer any substantial harm, this is where she is cunning.
If she was occupying Brother Li's body, then I would have found her as soon as possible, but now that she is remotely controlled, I have no way to take her, not to mention that Brother Li is a living person, she expected that I would not be a killer!
"Where is Gu Yu to you?" That's what Sanjiu asked.
"Yes, those red-eyed guys didn't take Gu Yu with them when they left, so I picked them up!" The mother leaf is rightly said.
Captain Xu and the others were still waiting for Gu Yu to go back to save his life, and Sanjiu also knew this, he took a few steps closer to Mu Ye, his steps were steady and firm.
"I'll also stay, let you have one more helper, give her the ancient jade, and we'll exchange." Listening to Sanjiu's tone doesn't feel like a joke.
I was anxious, but I immediately suppressed my impatience, things can't go on as expected by the mother leaf, am I useless?
Think about the past, the one who made the whole family of the Holy Book Clan talk about me, calm down, I told myself that there should always be something I could do!
"Well, a number of capable subordinates like you can indeed help me a lot, anyway, that piece of ancient jade is of no other use than to mutate the Nine Lotus Wood." Mu Ye paused, looked up at me, and said, "Do you agree?" ”
Her expression of smiling and not smiling appeared on Brother Li's simple and cold face, which looked very absurd, and I smiled slightly and nodded.
Instead, she looked surprised and stared at Sanjiu and me suspiciously, as if she suspected that we had some conspiracy.
"I need Gu Yu to save a very important person, and that person is ...... for me More important than him. ”
"I'm willing to do anything for her, including sacrificing myself." (To be continued.) )
