171 ruins
Early the next morning, the three of them packed up and prepared to leave, before leaving, looking at An Xiaolian who was standing at the door with a reluctant gaze, Su Bai stepped forward and patted her shoulder, and said: "I'm sorry, we're leaving again after only a few days, if you feel ** at home alone, you can go next door to find Xiaoyue to play, I have already informed her." ”
"Hmm." An Xiaolian nodded her head gently, but there was still a faint melancholy between her eyebrows.
Su Bai knew that in addition to being bored at home alone, she was probably more concerned about not being able to see Anna.
"Don't worry, Anna will be back soon, although this time the ** time may be a little longer, but there is absolutely no danger." Su Bai said with a smile, during this time, he had said similar things several times.
Anna died on Rich Island, this fact Su Bai did not tell An Xiaolian, after all, although Anna is dead, she will not disappear, whether it is a ghost or a puppet, she is always her, so there is no need to say it in vain to make people sad.
Therefore, not only An Xiaolian, but even for the An family, he hid it under the pretext that Anna was in retreat.
As for whether the supernatural incident in the original Hangzhou City can be resolved after losing Anna, there is no need to worry about this, after all, there is still Li Meizai. Although this woman has always looked at Su Bai horizontally and vertically, her ability to deal with things and her loyalty to Anna are beyond doubt, even if Anna is not there, she can handle everything in an orderly manner......
Taking a step back, even if there is something she can't solve, there is still Miss Xi in charge.
With Miss Xi staying in Yuanhang City, I am afraid that there is no safer place in this world than here.
After saying goodbye, the three of them finally embarked on the journey, not to mention the advance on the way, that afternoon, they had already arrived at the international airport in the next city, and then, they were greeted by a young man in formal dress who walked towards the three of them.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Su Bai?" This man looked like he was about thirty years old, dressed quite decently, and at first glance he was the kind of elite person in society, walked up to the three of them, and asked Su Bai respectfully.
"I am." Su Bai nodded and looked at him a few times, and asked rhetorically, "Are you Mr. Huang?" ”
Su Bai was not surprised by the appearance of this person, because long before leaving, Miss Xi had told him that although she could no longer intervene in the core of the incident this time, she could give her a ride until she was near the ruins, so she had already arranged the person in charge of the pick-up and drop-off early in the morning, and now it seems that most of them are the man in front of her.
"Yes, my name is Huang Wenliang, and I am waiting for you here according to Miss Xi's instructions." The man surnamed Huang smiled and introduced, "If you don't have anything else to do, we can set off now." ”
"yes, okay."
Su Bai nodded, and then the three of them boarded a helicopter in the airport under the leadership of Huang Wenliang.
Styx and Bloodti were obviously riding on a human flying vehicle for the first time, and the faces of both girls could not hide their curiosity, and their eyes were full of sparkle as they looked out through the window at the speeding scenery.
Compared to these two girls, Su Bai was a little curious about Huang Wenliang's identity, since he could be sent by Miss Xi for this kind of task, most of them would not be ordinary characters, but he couldn't feel the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power on the other party's body, which was completely no different from ordinary people, so he couldn't help but start knocking on the side.
Huang Wenliang didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it, I'm the manager of the personnel department of the Black Sea Trading Company. ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Su Bai was stunned for a few seconds.
"What? Is this person strong? Looking at Su Bai's expression, Styx subconsciously asked.
"This ......" Su Bai had an embarrassed expression, he didn't know what to say, he couldn't feel the fluctuations of spiritual power on Huang Wenliang's body, so it was impossible to guess whether he was strong or not, at most there were two possibilities, one was that his strength was already strong enough to make him unnoticeable, and the other was that this person was simply an ordinary person.
But what really surprised him was not this, but the identity of the other party.
As far as he knew, the Black Sea Trading Company was a very large enterprise with the surname Tongji, not only involved in many business fields, but also its corporate assets were enough to be called rich and rival countries, and even in some poor small countries, they also had certain political rights...... Su Bai originally had no concept of these things, but after all, there was an Anna by his side, and on the surface, Anjia was also a multinational enterprise company with certain business dealings with the Black Sea Trading Company, so he also learned about such a behemoth by chance.
Of course, that's not the point, it's the ...... Huang Wenliang, as the personnel manager of such a behemoth, his achievements can definitely not be described as social elites, but he has been successful to the point of no return, Su Bai never thought that the one who led the way for him would be such a big man.
Of course, no matter how high Huang Wenliang's achievements in the ordinary world are, they are not worth it for people in the dark world, but in most cases, the dark world and the ordinary world are basically well water and river water, even if the two sides are inextricably linked in secret, there will be no contact on the surface.
Therefore, for Huang Wenliang, Su Bai can't treat him as a person from the dark world, from the perspective of the ordinary world, this person is indeed quite a big person.
But he, the Night, and the blood here, are all people from the dark world, and the two sides should not be along, but now, ...... This was the real reason that surprised Su Bai.
In his original thought, the person arranged by Miss Xi, even if his strength is not good, should at least be a talent from the dark world.
Probably seeing the doubts in Su Bai's eyes, Huang Wenliang suddenly smiled: "Unlike you, I am just an ordinary person, and I don't have that superhuman strength, but I am indeed under the orders of Miss Xi to pick you up and drop you off at this moment." ”
It turns out that it's really just an ordinary person...... Su Bai sighed secretly, but the question in his heart was even greater, "What's going on?" ”
actually introduced ordinary people into this kind of thing, Su Bai felt that this didn't seem to be Miss Xi's style.
"Don't you know?" Huang Wenliang asked rhetorically.
"What?"
"The chairman of our Black Sea Trading Company is Miss Xi."
"Huh?!"
Hearing this, not only Su Bai was dumbfounded, but even Styx and Xueti were stunned and didn't know how to express it, although these two girls had more or less some opinions about Miss Xi, but as a super powerhouse of the ghost clan, the two of them had no opinions, and now they ...... Such a big master of the ghost clan actually went to the human world to start a company, this is too unprofessional, right?
What's the fuss?!
"This ...... Has she ever been in charge? After a moment, Su Bai couldn't help but ask.
Huang Wenliang shook his head without hesitation, "I have been in the company for eight years, and I have never met Miss Xi, except for some veterans, and even some of the senior executives in the company, they only know Miss Xi's name, so according to my estimates...... Probably since the establishment of the company, Miss Xi has not been in charge of things, but every once in a while, she will send people to the company's headquarters to inspect the situation, should ...... Probably responsible, right? ”
Why use a questioning tone?
Su Bai was suddenly embarrassed, although from Miss Xi's usual style, he had already guessed that most of this woman would not seriously run any company, but such a hands-off shopkeeper was inevitably too powerful, and what was even more powerful was ...... is obviously so irresponsible, but it has made this company the top enterprise in the world.
If this thing gets out, how many entrepreneurs will have to die alive?
Subsequently, I only heard Huang Wenliang say again: "Although Miss Xi almost never shows up in the company, the elders and senior executives in the company, whenever they talk about her, their tone is full of respect, so in my opinion, Miss Xi is probably similar to the kind of virtuous king in ancient times, with unparalleled personality charm, which can make everyone loyal to her, if it is such a person, it is not surprising that people can be convinced to this extent." ”
As he spoke, his tone was full of wistfulness.
"......" Listening to such a fairy tale, Su Bai opened his mouth and was speechless, but he didn't see that this social elite would have such an innocent fantasy in his head.
Although Su Bai wanted to tell him, "Big brother, you think too much, that woman is just an unruly drunkard, definitely not a virtuous king", but he couldn't bear to break the beautiful illusion in his heart.
Then, Huang Wenliang took the initiative to turn the topic back, "Although I am just an ordinary person, I actually know a little about your world, and I can even say that I am very interested, I often fantasize that I can be like you people, I can travel in the world at will, see all kinds of strange stories, and feel all kinds of thrilling adventures, and that kind of life will definitely be very exciting and interesting!" ”
Listening to the yearning in this guy's tone, Su Bai smiled bitterly: "Our life is indeed very exciting, but it is not interesting to say that it is interesting, it is often accompanied by various life and death dangers, and it is not surprising to die anytime and anywhere." ”
Huang Wenliang's eyes widened, and he said confidently: "A man dies for adventure, and he dies as he deserves!" ”
Hearing this, the three of them could see that this guy had a soul in his bones that wanted to take risks.
"So you're going to pick us up this time?" Su Bai said.
"Huh." Huang Wen suddenly smiled, "It's not a secret, there was indeed someone else who was going to pick you up, but after knowing the destination of your trip, I did everything possible to ask for this task, because I was only responsible for the pick-up, so even Miss Xi's agent did not object." ”
Miss Xi's agent is probably someone in the wind and snow...... Su Bai thought to himself.
Subsequently, the helicopter kept flying, and several people in the cabin chatted from time to time, but most of the time Huang Wenliang was asking and Su Bai was answering. For the dark world, this guy does have an extremely strong curiosity, especially for demons and monsters, and it can faintly make people feel that there is an almost crazy pursuit.
Su Bai had no doubt that if he said that he would take him to take a risk, he would probably not even be able to take his life.
Such a fanatical momentum, even Su Bai was a little embarrassed, if he didn't trust Miss Xi, he believed that there would be no problem with the person she sent, he would have doubted which religion this person was a fanatical believer.
On the other hand, since Huang Wenliang was sent by Miss Xi to pick them up, he obviously had a certain degree of knowledge of the ruins, so under Su Bai's inquiry, he also had a deeper understanding of the situation that the three of them were about to face.
For example, the size of the ruins, the area of its appearance, and how many unidentified people came to the Sahara during this time...... The Black Sea Trading Company has more or less some of this information, and although it does not play a role in determining the surname, it is always not a bad thing to know something.
And from this point of view, it can be seen that the Black Sea Trading Company is obviously not an ordinary commercial company, and it is no wonder that Miss Xi's intelligence gathering ability is so well understood, with such a behemoth in hand, her eyeliner may have spread all over the world.
At about twelve o'clock that night, the helicopter finally flew into the Sahara Desert, but did not approach the ruins, but stopped dozens of miles away from the ruins.
Huang Wenliang said helplessly: "I'm sorry, although I still want to send you to a closer place, but the impact of that ruin is too powerful, the closer you get to it, the more you can feel its magnetic field fluctuations, and if you fly over it again, it will easily cause an accident, so I can only send you here." ”
"No, that's already good, we'll figure it out ourselves." Su Bai said with a smile, the distance of dozens of miles is not a problem for the three of them, of course, provided that there are no obstacles on the road.
"Then I wish you all a nice journey."
"Well, you have to be careful when you go back."
Immediately, the hatch opened, and after saying goodbye to each other, Su Bai, Styx and Xueti jumped down in turn, and at this moment, the plane was still parked in mid-air a few hundred meters above the ground.
Looking at the falling figures of the three people from the hatch, Huang Wenliang's eyes were full of envy.
"It's nice to have such an adventurous life......"
……
Let's say that after Su Bai and the three of them jumped out of the helicopter, they quickly stood still on the ground, and first looked around, although it was in the night, there were also bursts of chill in the desert, but such an environment had no effect on the three of them.
Not to mention the dark night and the blood ti, even if it is Su Bai, as long as he uses his spiritual power, he can resist the invasion of the scorching heat and cold.
The three of them carefully observed for a while, and there was nothing of interest nearby, and then walked in the direction of the ruins.
"This place is really a little unaccustomed, I can't feel any breath of life, it's like a barren area in the underworld." It didn't take long for Bloody to suddenly speak.
"Miss Xi said that since the ruins appeared, a huge quicksand vortex has appeared near them, turning into life**, so the lives near the ruins have probably died." Su Bai said in a deep voice, "We also have to be careful, although we don't know what will happen." ”
The two walked as they spoke, but the night was silent.
"Night, why don't you speak?" Bloodty couldn't help but ask.
Even Su Bai looked at it curiously, in his impression, Styx undoubtedly had a lively and active surname, except for the days after Anna's death, and when she was with Miss Xi, she had a lot of words, but today, she hadn't opened her mouth for a long time.
"It's nothing...... Seeing the two of them looking at each other, Styx shook his head, "It's just that for some reason, I suddenly had a strange feeling in my heart......"
"Strange feelings?"
"Well, I don't know how to explain it......" Styx frowned, but quickly stretched out and smiled, "Don't worry, maybe it's just a psychological effect." ”
If only it were really psychological...... Su Bai secretly thought to himself, in fact, not only the dark night, but even him, at this moment, there was a strange feeling in his heart, but there was no way to say what it was.
So he could only put this aside for the time being and move towards the ruins wholeheartedly.
"It's here!"
Soon after, in the darkness of the night, a huge building appeared in the field of vision of the three of them, and although it was still far away, the three of them could still feel its majesty and enormity.
"It's amazing, it's still so far away, but that thing seems to be clearly placed in front of our eyes, even in the underworld, I have never seen such a huge building, that thing, at least a thousand meters high!" Xueti looked at the buildings in the distance and said in surprise.
"I'm afraid it's not all, if we get closer, it should be even bigger...... Tsk tsk. As he spoke, Su Bai couldn't help but sigh, "Last time it was an isolated island in the sea, this time it was a huge castle in the desert, and my experience is really getting more and more strange." ”
"Where's the quicksand?" Suddenly, Nightshade spoke in a questioning tone.
The two of them instinctively looked towards the ground in front of them.
"Strange, didn't that guy surnamed Huang say that as long as you can see the ruins, you can see the quicksand whirlpool? Why can't we see it? Xueti looked at the calm sand in front of him and cried out blankly, "Could it be that guy surnamed Huang is lying to us?" Well, I think he's weird, very likely. ”
Listening to Xueti's self-talk, Su Bai couldn't cry or laugh, "It's impossible, he lied to us, there is no benefit, maybe for some reason, the quicksand whirlpool has stopped, or maybe it's ......"
As he spoke, Su Bai took out the stage sword from the Taiji ball, and shot a sword qi directly towards the ground in front of him, and then ......
Crash!
As the sword qi entered the sand, it was as if the mechanism had been activated, and the originally calm sand suddenly trembled violently.
Su Bai suddenly changed color, and hurriedly shouted, "Oops, retreat!" ”
Needless to say, both of them had already felt that something was wrong, and they had already taken off in the air as soon as possible, while Su Bai was holding the chain of the blood ti and hanging in the air like this.
Then the three of them looked down, only to see that the ground had completely turned into a flowing river of sand, like a monster that chose people to devour! (To be continued.) )
