Chapter 9 Information from the Adversary

Don't show your hole cards until the last minute.

Guanglong and Lao Wang secretly compete in the two-dimensional world, which is a game of open and secret battles that affects the direction of the plot.

From time to time, there were bursts of ghost screams in front of the road, accompanied by a yin wind. The terrible ghost screams were terrified and helpless, like the screams of a person who is being tortured. It can really be described as frightening every step, and every step forward is a heavy heart, as if you are advancing to the execution ground.

He would have shuddered if he had changed to his usual Guanglong, but now he was open. If Lao Wang wanted him to see unique skills, he would not easily let Guanglong play tricks. Guanglong suddenly didn't want to leave here, and he had a strong curiosity to keep going.

Walked for about half an hour. Guanglong stopped, and suddenly heard strange footsteps coming from the corridor, accompanied by the sound of metal rubbing against the stone wall.

It must be a bull head and a horse face, deliberately letting Guanglong chase after him. After all, what value did Guanglong have to them, how could they let him go so easily? If you catch it, you must have been beaten badly. It's not a way to go all the way to the dark, there is always the danger of being overtaken.

In a flash of inspiration, Guanglong looked at both sides of the road and remembered the scene when he was a child, if it was high enough, he thought of a way.

Guanglong supported the stone walls on both sides with both hands, and then jumped and split his legs and kicked on the two walls, using his hands and feet at the same time, climbing vertically to the top. I remember that when he was a child, he knew this best, climbing over the wall. It's just that when I'm older, I'm not as flexible as when I was a child. If the corridor is wider, then this method will not be used. Although the stone wall was much smoother, it was overcome by the friction of his shoes. After a while, the gecko climbed several meters like a wall.

There was a cave above the road, Guanglong stood with his body and couldn't touch his head, and the light of the rows of candles below could be seen quite clearly. He held his breath and heard the sound not from behind, but from the front.

There are other people in front.

The sound gradually approached. Guanglong saw a man walking deep in the corridor in front of him, and then stopped below him. Because of the angle, Guanglong couldn't see what he looked like, but he saw an octagonal hat hunched over, and his body was clear and he looked like an old man. Holding a blunt instrument in his hand, he scratched the stone wall as he walked.

Looking at his posture, he is extremely unusual, and I don't know what important person he is. The old man stopped suddenly, did he find Guanglong?

The old man smiled heartily, but the words he said were sickly: "Yellow-haired child, I still hide when I see the old man." What are you afraid of? "His Mandarin is a little out of voice, a thick dialect. Guanglong struggled to hear the general meaning.

Sure enough, it was discovered, so it was no fun to hide, and other people's territory was still obediently captured, and maybe it could be treated leniently. Guanglong just wanted to move and slide down, but turned his head and saw two people flashing in front of the old man, who were bull heads and horses.

Bull Tou Ma Mian has been following Guanglong? Guanglong walked slowly, if there was no reason to catch up with him, did he deliberately follow him?

But I heard the old man cough lightly twice, and said with his hands behind his back: "Wear a mask and pretend to be a ghost, and show your hole cards." ”

Guanglong looked at the bull head and horse face, and saw that they all took out a playing card. The bull's head is the 6 of spades, and the horse face is the 7 of spades. When the old man saw it, he also took out a card and showed it to the other party, but he couldn't see any hole cards with his back to Guanglong.

Spades, what message is Lao Wang passing on to Guanglong? It is rumored that Lao Wang's hobby is to play cards, and what he is best at is the game of catching black tips.

Guanglong suddenly realized that this was an organized group, and the people inside should confirm each other's identities through hole cards, or some kind of code, in order to determine whether the other party is a member of the group. According to Lao Wang's usual practice, the characters in Guanglong's works will be connected into the group, but wearing a mask, Guanglong can't tell which character it is.

It's really incredible, what kind of group is it, there are bull heads and horse noodles in it, isn't the king of Hades a big ghost?

After confirmation, the old man said to Zou Zou: "Where do you want to go?" I heard that the Holy Envoy had returned. ”

Guanglong felt more and more that the old man was the embodiment of Lao Wang in his works.

Niu Tou said: "Yes, but the Holy Envoy is a little abnormal, like he is cursed." ”

The old man is pretending to be a judge, and he is indeed holding a judge's pen in his hand, and he must have a book of life and death on his body. The judge snorted and said, "Could it be that the rumors are true, he has lost his soul?" I'm going to check it out. ”

The bull head stopped: "No, you don't know his temper." It's no fun to mess with him. We need to think the long term. ”

Ma Mian also chimed in: "His hole cards are bigger than any of us. ”

They were so afraid of this messenger that it was no wonder that they had to identify each other by playing cards. And Guanglong thinks that their organization has a strict hierarchy, and the bigger the card, the greater the status, so the big ghost is the role of Hades.

The judge was taken aback, knowing that there would be no result in forcing it, so he walked past the side of Niu Tou Ma Mian stupidly. When the shoulders were staggered, the judge said fiercely: "Watch out, don't let him run around!" And you should be careful with me, I am suspicious all day long. Then he disappeared into the darkness.

Guanglong looked at the endless darkness, and the waves in his heart calmed down. It's a bit of an interesting organization, and I don't know who they are. And what secrets do they have in their organization?

The bull head and horse face below had not yet left, and the bull head looked up at the sky, and said loudly: "I will have to rely on this kid in the future." Guanglong's heart tightened, didn't he be discovered. He let out a long sigh when he heard the footsteps go away.

Guanglong thought that he should have been discovered, and the last sentence of the bull head seemed to be to him. But not for what is it to debunk on the spot.

And the holy messenger they said in their mouths, I don't know where he is imprisoned, according to them he is not a small position, and the card should be bigger than theirs. If you can save him and make friends, maybe he'll help him get out of here. However, there are many stone chambers on the side of the road below, but I don't know which one is where he is closed, and the stone gate is heavy and cannot be moved by Guanglong alone. Besides, it takes time to go down and look for it from room to room, and it's dangerous.

Guanglong was vaguely aware in his heart that the Holy Envoy was an important character in the work, and perhaps he had created it himself to appear in an unexpected way.

He rested with his hands and feet, the space above seemed to be larger than the below, and he had to curl up his arms at the beginning of the climb, but now he was fully stretched.

He was afraid that the bull-headed horse face would fake the last time, so he waited for a while, and after making sure that there was no movement, he simply walked forward on the top floor to support the corridor. At this time, if you go down, you may be caught by them. There is not enough light on it, and it is impossible to find the direction in the dimness, so it can only grope its way forward.

The stone walls on both sides are not very smooth, and there are many depressions where you can settle down. The hands were not so relaxed, and the pain on the sharp stones on the wall was numb over time. After walking forward for a while, my hands were cold and stained with liquid, thinking that I was bleeding. Guanglong adjusted his body, raised his hands in front of his nose and smelled it, no, it was not blood. It was the liquid on the stone wall that rubbed against his hands. The sticky liquid, mixed with the fishy smell, diffuses in the air and makes people vomit.

After a pause, there was a sharp and terrifying sound in front of him, like a ghost crying and howling. Hell is so well designed that even the strange cries of ghosts being tortured can be heard. was in a dilemma, Guanglong raised his head slightly and saw a faint green light above. Is it possible to lead to another dimension?

Guanglong hurriedly climbed up with his hands and feet, but he couldn't get close and was blocked out. It turned out to be a hole, or maybe a mezzanine.

Guanglong touched the size of the contour of the mezzanine with his hand, just enough for a person to pass on his stomach. So he held his feet on the stone wall, and his hands and head poked into it first, and then he entered in turn. When I went in, I realized that the faint green light came from the stone wall of the mezzanine, sticking to it like phosphor, and it was sticky when I touched it with my hand, which was a bit disgusting. It should be the same type of liquid as the one on your hand just now.

The sandwich stone wall is much rougher than the road below, and it is not as common as ordinary people. Guanglong crawled inside for a long time and felt that his clothes were worn out, and he only hoped to get to the exit early.

He crawled and suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, isn't this the usual scene in tomb robbery novels? I don't know what danger awaits Guanglong ahead, whether there will be priceless treasures and heart-palpitating mechanisms. Anyway, I don't think it's a good thing. His heart was full of excitement and unease.

If there is a dead end in front of you, or if you can't climb over, it's not easy to do, and it's very awkward to climb out backwards. The mezzanine has reached a corner, and the path has narrowed sharply, and it is only possible to pass sideways. Because it was a flat road, Guanglong's posture became extremely strange, and he moved forward half-sideways, relying entirely on one hand. In some places, it is either too narrow or a sharp stone grows, and Guanglong must take a breath to pass quickly to avoid being suddenly stuck.

The ghost of this place was surrounded by a mysterious dark green, like an eye staring at him, enveloping him. Guanglong crawled with a dry mouth, as if crawling into the depths of hell. Several times he wanted to go back, it felt too oppressive.

Crawling to the end, the road suddenly turns sharply. Guanglong looked down and there was a faint light, which should be the exit that seemed to lead somewhere.

He adjusted his position, straightened up and slid down. The sharp stones on the stone wall made him hurt, but fortunately, the road was not long, and it fell in the blink of an eye, falling into a space that looked larger. Guanglong looked at his body, the sleeves and trouser legs of his shirt were basically worn out, and there were still punctured blood marks and scars on his hands and legs. But he couldn't take care of so much at this time, and the strange environment around him attracted Guanglong's attention even more.

The place he was in now was larger than before, and there was a faint mist around him, and the dim lights made it impossible for Guanglong to distinguish the surrounding situation. First look for an exit such as a stone gate.

Guanglong cheered up his spirit, and looked around vigilantly as he walked, beware of accidentally scurrying out a mountain spirit monster. The room was indeed very large, and it took him a long time to turn it around, but to his disappointment, there was nothing here, no way out, not even a living thing, not even a stone bed and a stone bench. The empty room was lonely, and his closest shadow did not appear, it was a secret room. Guanglong couldn't help but feel sad, could it be that he was alone and starved to death here. Then it is better to be taken away by the bull head and horse noodles.

Guanglong sat down against the wall, feeling comfortable on the bed. Now that he was climbing up and returning the same way, he was already hungry and he was overexerted and nervous just now, and he was already exhausted.

He hated to rest, and he didn't care about his defense, he couldn't wait for something, and then he fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long it will take, and I won't get a good night's sleep after all. Sleepy-eyed, he caught a glimpse of a firelight jumping not far ahead. Is it a ghost fire, look at how tenacious the fire is, the passionate dance, the spirit of self-improvement, even if the last trace of fire is burned, it is a gorgeous life.

The fire burning in front of him was once again ignited by hope in Guanglong's cold heart, and the small universe in his body began to burst out. You can't just give up.

Guanglong's mouth was very dry, but he still woke up hungry, to be exact, awakened by a wonderful smell of meat. The fog in the room had lightened considerably, and a campfire had been lit in the far corner, and something seemed to be being grilled next to it. The smell of meat from the barbecue wafted over to seduce his already defeated glutton, and his body involuntarily stood up and slowly walked towards the fire.
