Chapter 162: Going Alone
Letting go of the ghost-faced man, the mood of the four of us was very low, of course, more because everyone was seriously injured, but things never seemed to end, and the road ahead was still confused.
After rounding the eighth fork, Baili stopped.
"What's wrong?"
He put Baili Xiping down before asking me, "Don't you think it's strange?" After walking for so long, the surrounding scene has hardly changed. β
I thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that this was indeed the case, and from the very beginning, I had been going around in a similar way: "You mean, we are going around in circles? β
For a moment, it was like losing all our strength, and in this state, if we were lost in such a place, we didn't need any blows from anyone at all, and we all had to die.
Suddenly jumped up, gritted his teeth, and made a mark nearby with a dagger.
"What are you doing?"
I glanced at Baili, and then at the sissy and Baili Xiping, who were almost fainting: "Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it's better to try again while you still have the strength now." If there really is no way out, I will admit it. β
Who allowed the past "me" to do so many evils? In the cycle of cause and effect, retribution will always come.
I plan it this way, if I don't go around back, it means that I am not going around in circles, but the road is surprisingly long and circuitous, and it is only a matter of time before I find the exit. But if I'm unfortunate enough to go back to square one, then we're really going around in circles.
Baili stayed to take care of the two wounded, in case anything happened again. It's good that someone can deal with it. I went to explore the road alone, I didn't walk for long, I stopped after half an hour, and if I didn't get back to the point of origin, I turned back according to the signs along the road.
After deciding it, he set off immediately, and before leaving, Baili frowned and was stunned for a long time before he spoke: "Be careful yourself." β
I know, it's the best arrangement. We can't go four more together. This is too physically demanding, and the choice of me to explore the road is not a hundred miles, mainly out of concern for those two people.
They have been seriously injured. Can't stand too many blows. If something happens to me on the way. With Baili's ability, he will definitely find a way to protect these two people, but it is me. I'm not sure about that. In the end, it's because I'm not strong enough, I'm too weak.
During this period of time, I often think like this, Yang Yun is a person who is both civil and military, not to mention his resourcefulness, I don't know, I can't explore, but my skills may obviously be above a hundred miles, but now I am so weak that no one can protect me.
If, I mean, I really changed back to Yang Yun, would it be a lot better?
Thinking about it all the way, I've rounded three forks in the road, and each time I pass one, I carve a mark on the path I've chosen, and it's about to be the fourth, but I still haven't returned to square one or seen the mark I left behind.
There are surprises and hesitations in my heart.
What should I do if there is no end to this road, or if it is simply a dead end?
Fourth ...... Fifth ...... Sixth ......
I used to say that I would turn back after half an hour, but in fact, I had no concept of time in my heart, holding a flashlight in my left hand, holding a dagger in my right hand, and I had to pat the key in my pocket twice from time to time to feel a little more at ease.
Just as I was wondering if it was time to turn back, I seemed to see a glimmer of light pass by. Quickly shook his head, rubbed his eyes again, and looked again, but there was no more. Is it a delusion?
I turned off the flashlight, stood there with my eyes closed for a long time, knowing that I was sure that I had adapted to the absolute darkness, and suddenly opened my eyes, and a huge grimace glowing blue suddenly enlarged in front of me, its fangs wide open, its eyes wide, and the corners of its mouth and eyes still had red blood.
"Ahh The brain exploded with a "bang", and as soon as he fell to the ground, he was cold from head to foot, and the next moment, but the face disappeared again, and there was still an endless darkness around him.
ShitοΌ
I scolded several times in my heart, covering my heart that was beating wildly, and it took me half a day to calm down, is there still a ghost in this way?!
The whole back was covered with cold sweat, and my nerves suddenly tensed to the extreme, and I tried to keep my back against the wall, this time it was just me, and I had to take responsibility for my own back.
When I turned on the flashlight again to search, I found nothing, and it seemed that there would really be only ghosts here except me.
"Come out." I feigned composure and forced my voice to sound less shaky. Ghost? I don't believe it. No matter how many mysteries there are in the world that cannot be explained by science, I will not believe that there really are ghosts and gods.
Leaning against the wall, he slowly stood up straight, holding a flashlight, staring at all the movements in the dark, and the palm of his right hand holding the dagger had already appeared fine beads of sweat at this time.
But I hadn't heard anything for a long time, as if that grimace was my delusion, and I was just talking to myself. sneered, and continued to pretend: "Haven't you come out yet?" β
This time, I finally heard the "squirming" movement, but it made my scalp tingle. If it's a person, the number of the other party is definitely quite a lot, am I sure to get out?
"Blue eyes?"
I don't know why, but when I saw that the person who came was blue-eyed, I was actually relieved.
He just tilted his head and laughed, and behind him was a group of black-robed people who came out of nowhere: "I didn't expect you to be here." β
"Where is this?"
He knew about this secret passage, so would he know that there was a key hidden in the mouth of the hooked snake? Will they also want to snatch the key to the Pisces Exquisite Box?
Blue-eyed waved his hand, trying to skip the topic and instead asked, "How about we make a deal?" β
Trade?
Trade with someone like me who is embarrassed and has nothing left?
I didn't answer, I just wanted to see what he had to say first.
"Your friend should be in need of help right now, right?" He didn't say it directly, but mentioned the three of them in Baili, and he ...... Know what happened to us? "How about making a deal, I'll save them for you and provide them with basic supplies?"
Such a good treatment? Hehe, the price you have to pay for me won't be small, right?
"What about me? What do you want me to do? β
If he asks me to exchange the key, although I won't veto it, I will definitely not hand it over easily, fight first and then say, if I can't win, I will run, and it is best to drag away a live mouth to show the way. If it were them, I believe it would be such a choice.
Blue eyes seemed to sense my vigilance, and spread their hands with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I won't let you do anything, you just need to go with us." β
That's it?
"And what about your purpose?" What about my three-year-old? Even if it's a child abduction, you have to give some words and sweetness.
"Taking you to meet the person you want to meet, of course."
At that moment, the first thing that came to my mind was my grandmother, as well as Bu Chip and Wu Qianqian. (To be continued......)
