Chapter 64: Search

The place where the treasure chest is marked on the map is a large wooden house.

Aoyagi walked around it twice, and judging by the number of windows, there were probably four or five rooms inside.

Back at the door, Aoyagi took out his tools in the ninja bag behind him and planned to open the door. Fortunately, I made preparations this time and brought a lockpicking tool. As a ninja, you must learn to open the door and pick the lock, otherwise if you want to steal confidential information, you need to steal the box together because you can't open the box or simply fail the mission? It's also too embarrassing.

He had also thought about entering the room through the window just now, but the openings of the windows were very small, and the windows were sealed by things, and he didn't know if there were traps next to the windows. If you force an opening, you can turn into the house, but it is difficult to control your body when you enter the house. If there's a trap under the window that triggers as soon as it hits the ground, that's dangerous. It's better to enter through the doorway, it's more stable, and even if there is a mechanism, it's better to stand on the ground than when your body is in the air.

"Bang~", as soon as Aoyagi took out the wire, there was a loud bang on the other side of the door.

Chisato stood in front of the door, no, there was no door anymore, it was all turned into a splash of wood on the ground.

Aoyagi silently put the wire back into the ninja bag, originally afraid that forcibly breaking the door would trigger the mechanism, but now there is no need to worry.

"Let's go in, Aoyagi, Twilight." After saying that, Qianli strode directly into the house, "The treasure chest should be in the house, let's look around." ”

Aoyagi and Twilight hurry up and follow suit, forgetting the lesson so quickly.

"Chisato, be careful, there's probably a mechanism set up in the house." Twilight reminds him.

Chisato opened the door of the leftmost room and said nonchalantly, "I see." ”

From a place that was not blocked by Chisato and the door, Aoyagi vaguely saw a fire burning, and when he looked closely, there was a burning detonation charm on the floor!

Shocked, Aoyagi had already subconsciously raised his hands and began to seal.

Water Escape - Water Array Wall!

Before the detonation charm burned out and was about to explode, the Aoyagi seal was completed. A small wall of water suddenly rose below the detonation charm, just enough to extinguish it.

There are no rivers or other water sources around, and there is not a lot of water created out of thin air, but it is enough to extinguish the flames.

Seeing that the detonation charm did not detonate, Aoyagi breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly rejoiced in his heart that his previous cultivation was still useful, and he had turned the seal into instinct, and he was able to use the water formation wall without thinking. If it had been a little slower at that time, the detonation charm would have exploded, and with this reduced version of the water array wall, it would probably not be able to stop the explosion.

"Chirito!" Twilight is angry, she almost gets blown up, "Stop moving!" You just stay aside and wait, and Aoyagi and I will come and find the treasure chest. ”

"Okay, okay." Qianli lowered his head and admitted his mistake, he was really scared just now, and cold sweat broke out.

Stabilized, Twilight begins to carefully search the room. Aoyagi stood aside and thought.

From the moment she entered the house, Aoyagi felt a little weird, and now she had time to think about it.

After pondering for a while, he understood where the weirdness came from. According to common sense, shouldn't this kind of treasure map-like place point to be the kind of hidden place that has been untouched for a long time? This kind of place should be full of dust.

The fact is that there is no dust accumulation in the room, so someone must have come here to clean it recently. Combined with the newly set up traps on the way, Aoyagi became more and more certain that there were ninjas who had been to the forest before them, and that it was probably for this house, or even for the treasure chest marked on the map. Only in this way can it be explained why the places indicated by a treasure map are still being visited by people and are not hidden.

Could it be that the ninja who came here before them also had the same map in hand? If so, then why do they also have maps, and who would they be? What exactly are the treasure chests marked on the map? The ninjas who came here, do they know?

"Let's go at once, don't look for it again. I guess that even if there were things in this house, it would probably have been taken by the ninjas who came here before. Get out of here quickly, lest you run into them. "Aoyagi didn't feel the need to stay here any longer.

Chisato was disappointed when he heard it: "Ah, isn't it? Anyway, Aoyagi, how did you deduce it? Are you sure something was taken? Besides, if they did take their things and left, they wouldn't have come back. We don't have to be in such a hurry, can we? ”

Now there are two possibilities, these ninjas are coming for the chest, or not, for another purpose.

But no matter which one it is, it is certain that these ninjas have been here, even if they really didn't come for the treasure chest, under the search, the treasure chest should have been discovered by them, and there is no possibility of letting it go.

It's just that if they're here for the treasure chest, then just take something and leave. Why do you need to set up traps on the road? If it was the mechanism they set up before they arrived at the house, but they didn't have time to dismantle it when they went back because they were too busy to dismantle it, and they left it behind, then it is possible.

The most fearful thing is that they are enemy ninjas who have infiltrated and used this place as a stronghold to hide here, so they have set up a mechanism on the road. In that case, you have to leave quickly.

These inferences are complicated, and for a while Aoyagi can't express them well, and can only emphasize that things should have been taken away.

"Unless it's hidden, someone will take it. Even if it's too secretive to be discovered, do you think we'll be able to find it quickly? I'm afraid that before we can find anything, the ninja who set up the mechanism will find us first. When the time comes, things will be out of our control. ”

"Okay, then at least look through the room before leaving."

Aoyagi thought about it and agreed. Anyway, if you take a cursory look at it, it won't take a lot of time.

In addition to the living room and the leftmost room, there are two other rooms in the house, one in the middle and one on the right.

Picking up speed, they first took a cursory look at the room they were in, and there was nothing hidden in the room except for the detonator, and there was nothing hidden in the room.

Retreating to the living room, they searched the living room as well. I had just entered the room in a hurry, and I hadn't checked the living room yet.

Carefully opening the cabinet, Aoyagi examined the contents. The contents of the cabinet were shabby and as expected. It seems that these ninjas did come recently and did not stay here for long.

There was nothing special in the living room either.

In the end, the three of them searched the living room and room, and it only took about a minute.
