Chapter 184 New Clues (II)
"What do you think I've found?" Zhu Shubing raised the scissors and key in his hand on a black background and red, and said in a teasing tone: "A suspicious pair of scissors and a key, my God, I can't even find a half-letter hint, I really want to know what is going on in the mind of the guy who designed this link." ”
Without waiting for Chen Liu to respond, she asked herself and replied, "I guess, he must be thinking about what flavor he wants for the pizza for dinner, as for the task prompt?" Who knows what this is, those smart players can figure it out for themselves! ”
As soon as she heard Zhu Shubing start speaking English and answering herself, Chen Liu immediately knew that the situation was going to be bad, at least until she calmed down.
In fact, Zhu Shubing rarely speaks English, after all, in "Annogus", most of the tasks they encountered were only completed with their fists. In those times, even if she failed for a while, Zhu Shubing rarely entered this state, at least, at that time, she would not tease the designer of the task.
"Don't be like this, this is a key, at least compared to me who is flipping through the books, you have made a big leap forward." While comforting the irritable Zhu Shubing, Chen Liu quickly flipped through the remaining books, hoping to confirm everything on hand as soon as possible.
Zhu Shubing sighed heavily, took the scissors in one hand and observed carefully, and at the same time responded: "Yes, although it is not even clear that this key can open the door, at least we know that it is used to open the door." And this castle looks like it has only forty or fifty gates, and optimistically, at least before the moon rises, we will probably be able to find this gate. ”
"Hey, at least that doesn't sound too bad, don't you cheer?" Zhu Shubing laughed listlessly twice. A pair of "You want to solve the mystery to the end, right?" Damn, the old lady is not waiting". It's almost time to give up the task and play the game negatively.
was like this by Zhu Shubing. Chen Liu immediately frowned, and said angrily, "Do you want to come?" If you have time to complain, you might as well come and help me, don't put the task on hold! ”
Feeling that Chen Liu was really going to be angry, Zhu Shubing, who was sitting on the bed lazy, sighed again, reluctantly got up from the bed, subconsciously pressed the [Song of the Adventurer] with one hand to prevent accidents, and quickly turned the pages of the book with the other hand, and threw himself into the work of searching for information with a bitter face.
Maybe it's lucky, or maybe it's because you have mission items with you. Zhu Shubing only turned to the third book, and from the sixty-six pages of the book, he found a filthy letter with the words "Teacher Aquitaine hereby enlightened" at the beginning.
Just as he was about to share his harvest with Chen Liu, Zhu Shubing turned his head, but what he saw was Chen Liu's resentful face, and he couldn't help but bow his head weakly and began to read the letter sent to Teacher Aquitaine.
The letter was visibly incomplete, and many places were stained with strange dirt. There was not much left of the inscription and the middle, and in some places it was even burned with flames, leaving a few hollows and a circle of ashes. Zhu Shubing reluctantly read the content of the letter, because there were many missing. She could only speculate on her own understanding that the letter was probably written by the diary's owner and sent to his teacher.
However, after reading the letter. Zhu Shubing not only did not have the refreshing feeling of connecting the clues, but felt inexplicably shuddering. It was as if someone behind him was suddenly breathing and breathing.
Just because of what is written on this letter. Almost the exact opposite of what is recorded in the diary!
As far as can be seen, the writer tells the teacher who taught her magic about "her" recent "experiments". Although the content of the experiments was obscured by dirt, judging from the results, it was possible to harvest a flesh puppet made by mixing three minions, and those experiments were probably not carried out with the consent of the other party and without pain.
After telling the results of "her's" excitement, the writer of the letter questioned the difficulties he encountered, and the content was roughly that the degree of control of the flesh puppet was too low, which made "her" who had to work hard to hide miserable, and hoped that the teacher could teach a feasible and easy way to her extent.
The next part was unfortunately burned by the flames, and not even half of the text was left, and Zhu Shubing was unable to guess its content based on the previous text. In the end, the writer hopes that "her" teacher will come to the castle, because "she" has discovered a rather rare soul body, which may be able to break through for the mages of their line, and research a new and stable branch.
And this so-called soul body...... It's her sister.
The letter is written in a simple and straightforward style, with the fastest and simplest words possible, and the paragraphs are quite clear, giving people the feeling that the writer must be a clean and neat person.
It is precisely because of this that Zhu Shubing finds it difficult to believe that this is a letter written as a joke, or that the writer has made a mistake.
It's just that......
Is it the letter or the diary?
Changing the ease of a few minutes ago, Zhu Shubing turned his head and asked Chen Liu in a low voice, "What do you think?" ”
"It's hard to say," Chen Liu still lowered his head to read the letter, and after a while, he raised his head and said solemnly: "Now that the two sources refer to completely opposite situations, then at this time, the only thing we can be sure of is that one of the two copies must have been forged, and this shows that our situation is quite dangerous." ”
Zhu Shubing was puzzled: "Dangerous? It's a heroic mission, what's not dangerous? ”
"It's different." Chen Liu explained: "Originally, the task was solved, and the danger was the task itself, whether it came to the NPC monster or the environment, it had nothing to do with whether we arrived or not, these dangers existed naturally. At this point, however, a forged letter or diary clearly indicates one thing, one thing of great importance. ”
"Someone knows we're coming."
He may have foreseen the situation a long time ago and prepared for it, or he may have learned about it recently and then he did not rush to prepare. But in any case, it means that we will be misled and pitted around the facts. Therefore, from now on we have to be prepared to be targeted and monitored......"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Shubing's back was cold, and he suddenly heard the door of this room squeak open, as if he had been gently pushed open by someone, and it was silent.
She was shocked, and she clenched the hilt of the [Song of the Adventurer] sword in her hand, drew most of her long sword, and looked like an eagle at the door that should have been closed.
With a sweep of her eyes, she saw that the door made of black sea pears was ajar, revealing a gloomy corridor, the [Song of the Adventurer] did not shake, and she did not see anything suspicious in her eyes, everything seemed to have no ups and downs, without the slightest sound.
It's not uncommon for doors to be blown open by the wind, and that's it, and sometimes doors are blown open by the wind.
Blown away by the wind?
Zhu Shubing held the hilt of the sword even harder - she didn't feel any air currents at all since she entered the room, and in the dozens of minutes just now, she couldn't feel the slightest wind in the corridor when she was hurrying in the corridor.
Something pushed open the door!
When they pushed the door open, there was no doubt that there was a gap between the door and the wall. The gap wasn't huge, but it was enough to hide something that was silent during action.
And when she walked into the room, something was hiding behind the door. If they had deliberately turned their heads to look behind them, she would almost certainly have seen it for what it really was.
Now, as if mocking them, the sharp creak of the door slowly echoed through the house. (To be continued......)
PS: I'm sorry, the weather has been getting cooler recently, and I was careless for a while, and I was infected with wind chill again, and my trachea and throat were inflamed, and it was very hard, and I really couldn't update it.
Thank you for your forgiveness
