Chapter 507: The Final Clue
Although the hall is wide, there are only three or four reliefs, except for the few reliefs with stories at the door, the other places with patterns are just very simple flowers, birds, and animals.
Unwillingly, I sent a message to SAMA, wanting to know if there is any secret room here.
"Brother Yu, it's too late for you to inquire about this now! The secret room is refreshed every night as soon as it is past midnight, and every day there are a large number of night owl players squatting and waiting, and the secret room on the first 7 floors has been swept by those teams without even two hours. β
"I don't want anything inside, you just tell me where they are, it's best to have a map!"
SAMA WAS STUNNED BY MY ANXIOUS QUESTION, BUT QUICKLY FOUND SOMEONE TO GET A MAP FOR ME.
With the help of the map, I realized that from the third floor onwards, there were one or several secret rooms on each floor.
Holding the map, I quickly found the secret room that had been cracked by the player, and when I entered, there were many players who came in with regrets, as if they wanted to see if there were any fish that had slipped through the net and could touch it.
People are like this, always with a fluke mentality to look down on others, to pull themselves up a bit, always thinking that they can find the gold left in the sand washed by the big waves of the crowd.
It is precisely because everyone thinks like this that even the walls of a place like the secret room have been buckled up a long time ago, and there are still leftover things for them to come and pick up the leaks.
I became one of the most out of place among those who came with illusions, all of them looking down at the empty boxes, and I was the only one looking up for the expected reliefs or other frescoes.
No.
Next.
Like a patient grandfather, I walked slowly step by step, for fear of missing a wall, and sometimes I would go back and look again if I felt less confident about something.
And this huge sixth floor took me nearly two hours, and in the end I was lucky enough to find a new mural in a secret room, and I left satisfied.
γTomb of the Heavenly MasterγThe seventh floor.
Because the [Tomb of the Heavenly Master] cannot return to the upper layer, I can only come back tomorrow to check on the above; At this moment, I found the clearance point and came to the seventh floor, and I couldn't help but feel dazed when I looked at the slightly lonely and eerie atmosphere around me.
The sixth layer can also be described as full of people, and there are only a few teams left on the seventh floor, and each team is a high-quality team with exquisite fashion, complete professions and excellent equipment, only I, an alternative, walk casually next to me like a lonely ghost.
There are no such cumbersome fork in the road options on this floor, so a simple path saves me the energy of looking one by one, and the team that entered early in front has already cleared most of the monsters and bosses, and there are only more than 80 level monsters left to refresh from time to time along the way, which is no threat to me at all.
"Hey! That buddy! Wow for the first time? Dare to go down to the seventh floor by yourself!? How dangerous! Why don't you join our team!? β
"No, I'm just here to go around."
I was just like a child digging for treasure in the sand, and I was happy for a long time because of the occasional relief with a story, and I looked at it and then took a screenshot carefully, repeating my behavior as if it were sightseeing.
The secret chamber on the seventh floor had unsurprisingly been ransacked, but the frescoes on it were intact.
In a secret room outside the boss hall near this level, I found a very important mural.
About ghosts.
The huge body of the ghost turtle is too iconic, one-third of the entire mural is filled with its fat body, and the dense surrounding should be the Zerg army led by it; Walking away, there are still many scenes of teams with weapons running away, which expresses the momentum of the ghost turtle destroying the withering and decaying at that time.
But the ghost on the picture is not a proud overlord posture, but as if bound by a rope painfully twisted, at the top of the mural, a simple old man is floating in the air with his hands in his hands, his right hand stretched out and gestured with very small movements.
As expected, that old man is the Qiankun Holy Venerable, and this painting describes the scene when he sealed the ghost ao.
Because there are no clear markings and features on these collected frescoes and reliefs, it is often impossible to tell whether the deity is present in the scene or not; But this painting of the Seal Ghost Ao and the Fifth Layer can confirm the identity of the Holy Venerable, because in the scene, only his position is above all things, and he completely presents a detached and invincible posture.
Compared with these clues, the lower the painting, the closer the deeds recorded in the painting are to the current point in time, the layers of the [Tomb of the Heavenly Master] are like making a bookshelf of mountains and rivers for these dusty histories, and they are neatly stored in them, waiting for future generations to turn over the dust of history and reveal the deeds of the past.
In this way, if there are reliefs or murals on the eighth floor, then it is very likely that the scene of the last battle of the Qiankun Holy Venerable will be recorded on it.
This discovery gave me a reason to go deeper.
Walking into the seventh-floor boss hall, those teams are coincidentally cooperating to besiege a thing called [float stone], the irregular circle looks no different from the big stone on the side of the road at first glance, but the fluctuation of the layer of gravitational aura floating on the surface of the stone is sending a dangerous signal to everyone who provokes it.
γFloat Stoneγ(Heaven and Earth Level)
Rating: 85
β¦β¦
I didn't understand the skill mechanism at a glance, it was very abstract, so I didn't dare to rush in to join them, but stood in the safe area and observed silently.
The operation and cooperation of these people are indeed outstanding, and the overall chaos can be maintained under such a cumbersome boss mechanism and attack, although it took a long time, but this strange stone was finally successfully broken.
They divided the boss spoils, and then chose to return to the city where they were, and none of the teams made any moves to continue to the eighth floor.
I just wanted to rub the other teams to do things today, and wouldn't it be a big deal if they didn't go and go down by myself, so I walked up to a nearby player and politely asked, "Friend, why don't you go to the eighth floor to have a look?" β
"The eighth floor? That's the [Star Demon Binding Saint]? Don't be kidding, do you think the beast-level boss is a cabbage? Whoever wants to pull it out?? β
"Divine Beast Level ???"
"That's right! You didn't even ask and came on an adventure? There are many people in the eighth layer, and you can only enter 3,000 people at most, and with the current quality of players, 3,000 people to fight the Divine Beast level is tantamount to a moth to a fire! β
"What about the ninth floor?"
Although his tone was impatient, my shameless questioning got the information I wanted.
He sighed, temporarily canceled his return to the city, and patiently said to me: "Brother, I can see that you don't know anything about this budding newcomer!" Listen to my brother's kind words and persuasion, don't follow the trend and make fun of this kind of copy in the future; Our teams have been discussed in advance, and the configuration and quality are no problem, so we dare to try to kill the seventh layer of the boss, and you yourself follow the big team to come in and definitely don't know the sinister, and dying in vain can outweigh the losses. β
As he spoke, he stepped on the ground under his feet: "The enchantment of the eighth layer is the final seal, defeat the boss of the eighth layer, and the enchantment can be broken to enter the ninth layer; Of course, there is no limit to the number of people on the ninth layer, but now, even if there are more than ten or two hundred thousand, it is not enough to die, who would dare to have such a whimsical idea. β
"Thank you, big brother, brother keep it in mind."
The eldest brother left with a smile of justice after helping others, and I was the only one left in the empty hall, but after observing it for a long time, I did not find any useful reliefs or frescoes in the hall.
It seems that the eighth floor needs to be visited anyway, and the final clue may be found there.
Flipping through my friends list, I clicked on the bright avatar to dial in to voice.
"Xiaoyu, what's the matter?"
"Brother Shadow, I need your help."
"Help? Haha...... is it any good? β
"Absolutely! Divine beast-level BOSS, 37 points of things that burst out, you 7 and I 3; And after that, I can take you to see the strongest god-level boss in this game. β
There was silence on the other end of the voice for a moment, as if to determine if what I was saying was credible.
"Where?"
"Heavenly Master's Tomb, I'm now in the seventh floor boss hall, you are here, let's go down to the eighth floor together."
"Wait for me."
β¦β¦
ββ¦β¦ Ghost knife, do you know why I interrogated you again? β
In the interrogation room, Zhang Guozhong looked directly at the middle-aged man sitting opposite, although his sideburns were gray, but the fierceness between his eyebrows was not inferior to that of a teenager.
He slowly raised his head and sneered: "Perhaps, the inner ghost who betrayed us has invited merit again?" β
The word "inner ghost" does not sound pleasant, but it is an indisputable fact, if there is no clue from the informant who broke into the other party's interior, Zhang Guozhong and the others will not find out that there are still people involved in the case who dare to return to this city.
A few days ago, the raid investigation finally discovered the whereabouts of this group, and after a fierce fight, killed the three people who resisted stubbornly, and captured two people, including this ghost knife.
However, today Zhang Guozhong did not come to discuss with him the matter of whether the ghost is inside or not, but there are other things to ask, he took out a few photos from the file bag, held them up and looked at the old ghost knife: "According to the reliable information we investigated before, the person called 'ghost knife' in your organization should be the young man in the photo, but the man was found dead in the sphere of influence of the suspect Wang Mazi, and you are the ghost knife,...... It's a bit messy, so I want to hear you explain why there are two ghost knives, are Wang Mazi and you guys in the same group? β
"I don't know." The attitude of the old ghost knife is very resolute, and the older generation is mixed up, and they are all unyielding hardness in their bones.
Zhang Guozhong was not in a hurry, he asked his colleague next to him to switch the screen of the laptop to the monitoring column, and then turned it to show the old ghost knife.
"I don't know anything else, but you must know this person, right?"
The old ghost knife raised his cloudy eyes, his wrinkled head was dark like a ravine, and he always felt an inexplicable kindness when he looked at the person wearing a helmet in the picture.
He leaned forward and looked at the man's figure, muttering and hesitating inwardly.
"Hehe, he's cooperating with us on a mission right now, so he'll need to wear special tools for the time being; If you have a face, I can show you a picture first. Zhang Guozhong took out a small envelope from the file bag, which contained a frontal photo of the person taken a few days ago.
He didn't hold it in his hand, but handed it to the old ghost knife.
The old ghost knife took it tremblingly, his mouth was open and closed with excitement as he looked at the photo, completely forgetting the situation in which he had been arrested, and also forgetting the unforgivable end of his crime, and a trembling smile actually rose on his weather-beaten face.
ββ¦β¦ Xiaoying, he's still alive! He's alive! β
He muttered to himself, repeating the reality that had brought tears to his eyes.
"I almost didn't come back to life," Zhang Guozhong sighed slightly: "If it weren't for the dagger that the girl blocked the ghost knife for him, he would be the one who died now." β
Zhang Guozhong's words made the old ghost knife a little unclear, so he raised his head and looked at Zhang Guozhong, his eyes were full of doubts: "Ghost knife? A dagger? β
"Yes, we have reliable information, the man in the photo just now is a member of Wang Mazi's forces, and he was frantically attacking a woman and your son when I led the team to raid and arrest him; It's just that the woman blocked the fatal blow for him, and I killed the man when he attacked again. β
"Impossible!" The old ghost knife jumped like thunder, and he didn't have the slightest trust in Zhang Guozhong's words: "The ghost knife is loyal, how can he do such a traitorous behavior!" β
"After you've explained everything, I'll let you talk to your son alone." Zhang Guozhong ignored his irritability, they had an absolute advantage in this matter: "Now that the ghost shadow is doing well, he has cooperated with us to crack a lot of clues, if he can continue to keep it...... maybe he can be exempted from the death penalty." β
The old ghost knife didn't continue to speak, he only had his son in his heart now, and the other party's increase had already made him excited.
"You should know better than I do that the murder in the hands of the ghost is no less serious than yours; But he also has inestimable value, if he can change his ways, not only can he be exempted from the death penalty, but he may also be an important factor in assisting us in eliminating the evil forces in the future. β
"You mean to say, Shadow...... Maybe you can get out of it? β
"I can't guarantee it, it depends on your cooperation and his performance."
The old ghost knife swallowed his saliva heavily, the weight of the organization and his son was constantly adding chips, and the balance of compromise or not swayed back and forth, making him feel numb.
"Ghost Knife, I have also arrested people who are very similar to you before, and their reasons for not giving in are almost all because they can't betray the organization and their brothers, I won't let you easily give up your faith for half a lifetime, but now you should be sober; The Ye Organization is no longer the organization you once swore allegiance to, and we don't have to know less about the internal affairs of the organization; Ye Hanluo has now been listed as an important target of our investigation, and once the evidence is conclusive, he will be arrested immediately. β
The old ghost knife raised his head and looked at the man in front of him, and his fearless eyes made him more and more awe-inspiring, "Hehe, I can't think of it...... You know so much. β
"We know more than you think, and what is needed now is your cooperation." Zhang Guozhong closed the laptop, and the only connection between father and son came to an abrupt end: "Ghost knife, the choice is now in your hands, and you are the last clue." β
Despite this, the old ghost knife still didn't agree directly, he nodded slowly, raised his face and looked at Zhang Guozhong: "Give me half a day and let me think about it." β
