Chapter 23: Plot reversal

The most terrible thing that people face is not death, but forgetting.

Blue Skull! Midnight's hand was actually a crystal clear skull. Guanglong was dumbfounded, the props were very familiar, where had he seen them......

The legendary crystal skull? The rumors about the crystal skull Guanglong were known, and it was a shock to the world back then. A man named Haggis was found in the Mayan ruins, and his crystal skull was rumored to have healed people. It is rumored that there are a total of 13 skulls scattered all over the world, and if they are collected, they will learn the truth about life and the universe. Then all sorts of so-called skulls were discovered around the world. However, it was later confirmed that the crystal skull had traces of artificial polishing, which can only be regarded as a precious work of art. Since then, the crystal skull has gradually faded into obscurity.

But is it really the ancient Mayans who made such a beautiful masterpiece with high-end technology that is beyond the reach of modern people?

The legend of 13 skulls is really absurd. Do these really exist in the world, and will they be collected like Dragon Ball to produce miracles?

Midnight clasped his hands on his shoulders, his eyes slightly closed, as if he didn't want to lift it. Finally, he said, "How can I explain it to you?" For me, the world is a mess of yours. ”

"You" is clearly a reference to cartoonists. Guanglong remembered that in the work "Peerless Empire" of his peers, finding 13 crystal skulls is the main story line, could it be that Lao Wang not only got involved in his own works, but also mixed other people's elements? This is an old stalk of collecting dragon balls to summon dragons.

Midnight picked up the skull and played with it in his hand, "But if you want to go back, I'm happy to help." ”

"Really?" Guanglong looked at Fei Nan happily. It's great to finally be able to go back alive. Looking at Fei Nan again, a brief moment of joy was followed by a frowning brow.

Guanglong understood, how could someone like Midnight, who seemed to be cold-blooded, help them for no reason. In his words, friends and brothers are unreliable, and they are all maintained by interests. If he was willing to help them escape, he would have asked for something.

Seeing their silence after the big joy, Midnight looked at the skull and said, "This crystal skull can be exchanged for your freedom." ”

From the very beginning when Fei Nan saw the skull, he couldn't help but stare at it seductively. Guanglong dragged him several times, signaling to calm down and not to go mad. Fortunately, the skull rotated from time to time in the middle of the night, and the eyes of the skull did not always face them. When Guanglong and Midnight were talking, Fei Nan looked for the eye sockets of the skull, and his eyes gradually straightened, as if he was in a meditation, and an inconspicuous smile began to appear at the corners of his mouth.

Guanglong didn't pay attention. Seeing Fei Nan's actions again, he knew that something was wrong, and rushed over to knock Fei Nan away. Fei Nan seemed to lose consciousness after falling to the ground, and then began to shake her head to gradually sober herself. He asked Guanglong in a daze: "What's the matter, why am I sitting on the ground?" ”

Helping Fei Nan up, Guanglong explained: "It's the skull, you are attracted." This thing is very evil, and it will make people hallucinate. So we'd better not stare it in the eye. ”

Fei Nan didn't know anything about what had just happened. Glancing at the skull again, it had been adjusted by midnight, and the two big eyes were facing midnight.

Guanglong was still worried about being tempted in the middle of the night, but he said: "Each skull has different effects, for example, the blue one can hypnotize people, and some people with insufficient concentration are the easiest to comply." Saying that, he stared at the skull for a long time, and sure enough, he was not hypnotized, which was really amazing. Then again, his hollow eyes looked like they had just woken up.

Listening to Midnight talk about each crystal skull, could it be that there are really 13 skulls in the world, and the legend is also true? Guanglong couldn't help but ask, "What is the use of these skulls?" ”

Midnight said: "That's the reason I'm looking for you." If you can create us, why can't you create the Crystal Skull? ”

Guanglong was about to ask, when he suddenly heard the sound of movement in the distance and gradually approached. The sound was almost in front of him, and suddenly stopped, as if someone had entered the mirror.

Midnight smiled and said, "Sick man, come out and don't hide." ”

I saw two mirrors side by side flicker, and then clicked and began to open left and right like a large door. It's a mirror with a trap, and it's something that Guanglong hasn't encountered before. Guanglong and Fei Nan looked at it in amazement, the mirror design was really ingenious.

The sick man appeared, twisted his beard and said, "Hmph, you can recognize me." ”

Midnight said: "Who else can you be so familiar with the mirror array?" ”

The sick man was not angry, but became interested in the blue skull, stared at it and said, "It is the purpose of your trip!" ”

Midnight held the skull like a treasure, lest it fall and fall. He muttered, "The supreme holy relic of the Party of Spades." ”

Relic? The Crystal Skull is a sacred relic of the Party of Spades. What earth-shattering would happen if you gathered the Skull Relic?

Midnight looked at the skull in a trance, as if seeing his long-lost lover, and the godless eyes began to glow. He finally said with excitement on his face, "The 13 crystal skulls hide the ultimate secret of mankind. They guide us through the light of the rainbow to overcome all difficulties and find the sacred land of dreams and the supreme treasure of mankind. ”

The sick man also said: "Yes, it is precisely because of this legend. In recent years, the Group has vigorously searched for crystal skulls in various places, and has achieved initial results. ”

The sick man was old and weak, and his ambition had not been rewarded, and his eyes had already become dull. Now his eyes are also bright, as if he sees infinite hope, "If we want to find the treasure of the rich country, we can achieve great things." ”

A holy place of dreams, the ultimate treasure. Just hearing these words, even Guanglong's blood began to boil. Is it all true? Can you find out with these crystal skulls?

"Unfortunately, you'll never get it!" A sentence in the middle of the night pulled the sick man who was still in fantasy back to the ruthless reality. The Crystal Skull can be said to be his last hope for the rest of his life, to prepare supplies, for his unpaid dreams, for the leader's kindness. But now, someone stopped it, and actually said that it would never be obtained.

The sick man was furious and accused, "Midnight, what are you doing? Do you want to rebel. ”

Midnight said: "It's useless to talk too much. I'm not going to show mercy this time. After saying that, he threw the crystal skull to Guanglong.

The sick man was slightly relieved to see the skull in Guanglong's hand, after all, in his eyes, he was the holy envoy of the Spades Party, and he would never do anything unfavorable to the group, and although Guanglong's actions were out of line, he had no intention of betraying the group. The sick man can finally concentrate on dealing with midnight.

The eyes of the skull when he threw it in the middle of the night were like conveying some kind of information, and he saw that Guanglong was in chaos. His meaning couldn't be more obvious: if he wanted to escape, the skull had to be returned to him. Guanglong was in a dilemma, and at this time he still hid his skull with a wide cloak, but he could no longer stare at his eyes. I was hypnotized again if I didn't pay attention, Guanglong's fragile concentration.

The Party of Spades and Midnight both want to find the legendary shrine and treasure through the Crystal Skull. What is it about the magic that attracts them?

The sick man held the judge's pen in his hand and held his breath, put on an offensive posture, always staring at Midnight's every move, ready for him to reveal his flaws. Who knew that Midnight had no intention of fighting, but walked backwards and walked like a walk.

Midnight looked at the rows of mirrors, crossed his fingers, and said with a slight smile: "I already have a little experience with your mirror array." The sick man couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

Midnight counted a few steps, then stood in front of a mirror, "This is it." He slowly stretched out his right hand and pushed forward. They were amazed to see Midnight, no, the magician, and his hand was in the mirror again!

The sick man couldn't believe it and said, "You...... It can't be," but in the middle of the night, he did put his hand into the mirror, and his body immediately got into it, and completely disappeared into this row of mirrors, and disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Guanglong ran over in surprise and saw that Midnight had already walked into the mirror passage on the first floor in front of him.

Midnight said: "Do you feel incredible? Try it and you'll see the secret. ”

Hearing this, Guanglong carefully stretched out his hand and slowly stretched out to the mirror, what a wonderful feeling it would be. It's in! Ay? Why don't you feel it at all, Guanglong's hand should have a sense of touch.

Guanglong looked at Midnight suspiciously. Ah, this... There are no mirrors here at all. When he looked at the sick man again, his face changed dramatically, as if he had known it a long time ago.

It turns out that one of the mirrors in this row is vacant, and under the cover of many mirrors, you don't see that it is an invisible door. In the mirror maze, you have long been unable to distinguish between east and west, and will you still care about it. However, this mechanism can't explain the first mirror crossing in the middle of the night.

The sick man's face turned pale angrily: "When did you find out?" ”

Midnight crossed his hands over his chest, leaned in front of a large mirror, and said, "When you were in the mirror array, I sat on the big mirror and condescendedly, and what I stumbled upon can be said to be very coincidental. ”

"Impossible, and it won't be found from above."

"It's light."

The sick man suddenly realized.

Midnight continued, "I saw the light coming through, but it didn't reflect it as it passed through here, but it passed straight through. I knew that there was a mystery hidden in the mirror array, which had the effect of paralyzing people. In fact, this is the real life. ”

The sick man didn't speak, he didn't know what else he could see in the middle of the night.

Midnight said: "Not only does this mirror have a living door, but other adjacent rows of mirrors also have corresponding raw doors. As he spoke, he counted his steps and walked to another mirror, stretched out his hand and went through it again, and inside was the next level of passage.

Guanglong couldn't help asking: "Is there a rule between the birth gates?" ”

Midnight said: "Yes, I just counted. This is a mathematical array in a circular shape. That is to say, it is only a matter of time before you can figure out the laws of Shengmen and easily get out of the mirror array. ”

At this time, the sick man's face was already red and white.

Midnight said again: "Another thing that caught my attention was the separation form of the mirror when the sick man came out just now. If you're not mistaken, all of the mirrors here have mechanisms connected to the bottom. All it takes is a combination of switches and the mirrors rotate at the same time. Forward, reverse, alternate rotation. There is no concept of the so-called Shengmen, that is the most terrifying appearance of the mirror array. is the ultimate strength of the mirror array. ”

The sick man praised: "It's really midnight." Very wonderful reasoning. ”

Guanglong didn't speak, and he couldn't help but secretly exclaim when he listened to Midnight's wonderful inference. It seems that Guanglong still doesn't know much about the mirror array in front of him, and it is better to just look at the midnight twice. At the same time, I was glad that the sick man didn't turn on the mechanism to make the mirror spin, otherwise he would have really fainted at that time.

The sick man was full of admiration and said: "With your qualifications and outstanding skills, you can make a big difference in the group." I don't understand why you betrayed. Is it just the secret of the Crystal Skull? ”

Midnight sighed: "Hey, it seems that you have been kept in the dark so far, haven't you seen what Meow Meow is wearing?" ”

Is there anything wrong with Meow Meow wearing? The sick man suddenly remembered Meowmeow's outfit, his head was instantly petrified as if it had been struck by lightning, and he looked at Midnight in horror, "No, it's not true." At the same time, he looked at Guanglong, his eyes showed pain, and he was extremely reluctant to believe this fact.

Guanglong wore a cloak and understood. This is very common in folk traditions.

Sure enough, Midnight said with a strange face: "The leader Fenghua is definitely dead!" ”
