Chapter 603: Who Is He?
Lu Siya closed her eyes.
Around the eyes, a circle of mysterious and complex red spirit patterns appeared, spreading all the way to the temples, as if a pair of brand-new, separated from flesh and blood, independent existence of spiritual eyes.
She fumbled for a moment on the walls and ground of the shaft, and without hesitation, she walked towards the path where Meng Chao and Aji had infiltrated the alloy gladiatorial arena.
When she found a fork in the road, she did not follow the path that Meng Chao and Aji had walked, but turned to another passage that was getting narrower and darker and narrower and darker in the unknown direction.
Lu Siya stretched out her hand and gently rubbed it on the wall.
Fingertips stained with a trace of translucent slime.
In the slime, there is also a red crystal powder smaller than the gravel, which cannot be seen at all unless you look carefully.
This is exactly the red glow jade powder.
"This is it."
Meng Chao muttered, "That's where that kid ran here." ”
"Didn't I say that you're too sinister, are you?"
Lu Siya glanced at him and pouted, "According to what you said, that 'Aji' is just a child under the age of ten, who saved you under the ruins of the leprosy village and guided you all the way to complete the task, but your suspicion is so serious, you have always been wary of others, and you also rubbed red glow jade powder on this child while others were not paying attention?" ”
"Aggie is no ordinary 'child'."
Meng Chao said with a serious expression, "No, he is a more terrifying existence than the 'Red Eyebrow' Su Lun or even the alien beast 'Vortex'. ”
"What?"
Lu Siya was surprised, "Why do you say that?" ”
Meng Chao naturally couldn't tell the story of the cross-eyed tattoo he saw on Aji's chest.
So far, he has only seen this pattern in the memory fragments of his previous life, on the back of the hand of his sister who awakened the witch's bloodline and incarnated as the night witch, as well as in the notes left by his mother more than 20 years ago but did not remember, and in the near-death memories of the demon god "Abyss Magic Eye".
In addition to my mother, the "Night Witch" Bai Jiacao and the demon god "Abyss Demon Eye" are extremely terrifying existences.
Why does the same pattern appear on the chest of Aji, a seemingly unrelated leper boy?
This is something that Meng Chao must figure out.
Meng Chao didn't want to tell the memories of his previous life and his sister Bai Jiacao, so he just said: "First, by the standard of a teenager who is less than ten years old, many of the things Aji said are too mature and meaningful.
"Even if 'the child of the poor is in charge early', he has been crawling in the cruel society since he was a child, and he has experienced the warmth and coldness of the world, he seems to be a little too small.
"Second, he happened to save me near the ruins of the explosion site of the leprosy village, and he happened to have been treated by Miss Mulian, so he took the line between Su Mulian and the wild wolf, and helped me temporarily settle the crisis in the leprosy village, and then, he happened to go outside often to commit crimes, so that he was familiar with the environment of the entire nest city, which was a small 'living map', and finally, the most outrageous thing was that he happened to know a secret passage that could lead directly to the depths of the alloy gladiatorial arena - don't you think, so much' It's just right, isn't it weird? ”
Lu Siya was slightly stunned, and nodded slowly: "When you say this, it seems that it is also, this little guy seems to be holding your nose all the way and helping you complete the task." ”
"And then there's his amazing luck and fitness."
Meng Chao continued, "We were attacked by the defenders on the other side of the river on the outskirts of the leprosy village, and in the face of a rain of bullets, this kid was unscathed; After infiltrating the leprosy village, he was surrounded and intercepted by the defenders several times, and this time, this kid was separated from us, but he escaped the search of the pursuers alone and returned to us unharmed.
"I don't think it's something that an ordinary thief can do.
"Well, even if he is gifted and agile, how can he explain falling down the shaft under the alloy arena?
"Yes, I admit that the shaft is so high and straight that it is difficult for an ordinary child to climb without much leverage.
"But judging from the skill he showed in the process of escaping the pursuers, there should be no problem.
"If there was a problem, I also suggested at the beginning that I could climb up with him on my back - he knew my strength, even if I was injured and couldn't exert the power of magnetic levitation, it would be easy to climb up with a child on my back.
But he refused my kindness, and insisted on crawling on his own, but when he was halfway up, he fell down, and by chance, he sprained his foot, and could not move, so he could only get out of my sight.
"If I can't see anything weird about him here, it's really stupid!"
Lu Siya's mind was racing, and her expression became serious: "As you said, this kid is indeed very suspicious, do you suspect that he is also a minion of the alien beast 'Vortex', which will be bad for us and Hive City?" ”
"That's not it, if I suspect that he will be bad for us and Chaocheng, I will take him down as soon as possible."
Meng Chao thought for a moment and said, "In fact, instead of being unfavorable to us, he also helped us crack the conspiracy of the alien beast's 'whirlpool' all the way, if it weren't for Aji, I wouldn't have been able to contact Su Mulian and the wild wolf so easily, and I wouldn't have been able to get rid of the Chaocheng gang so quickly, and in the alloy gladiatorial arena, I would have taken down 'Red Eyebrow' Su Lun in one fell swoop."
"If you think about it carefully, I'm really afraid, if it weren't for Aji's guidance, now the wild wolf is estimated to have led the wolf gang and all the leprosy villagers to rush out and fight with the Chaocheng gang, and the fire in Chaocheng will be ten times bigger than at this moment, falling into a completely out of control chaos.
"Judging from his performance, I think we have the same position as Aggie on the matter of 'fighting against alien beasts and guarding the nest city', and he is secretly helping us."
"Since they are on the same page, why didn't he tell the truth?"
Lu Siya frowned slightly, and said, "Although the three hands in the leprosy village are not a noble profession, in a place like Chaocheng, where there is a miasma of smoke and mixed fish and dragons, it is not a heinous crime for a helpless orphan to engage in some petty theft!"
"No matter what secrets or troubles he has, wouldn't it be easier to solve the problem by telling you directly?"
"Hehe, he's not some 'three-handed', I even suspect that he has nothing to do with the thief named 'Feng Sanzhi', and he hasn't been treated by Su Mulian."
Meng Chao said, "Feng Sanzhi and his thieves all died in the explosion of the Divine Transformation Capsule Refining Factory, and no one can confirm his identity at all.
And Su Mulian, as a living bodhisattva in the leprosy village, has to treat dozens or hundreds of people every day, and the children in the leprosy village are almost the same in unkempt appearance, Su Mulian can't remember whether she has treated him or not.
"From beginning to end, his identity was self-talking, at that time, there was chaos, and everyone didn't have time to suspect it, but now that I think about it, there are too many loopholes!"
Lu Siya was shocked and said, "Aji is not a thief, so who is he?" ”
"I don't know, but I have a vague feeling that he wants to use me to attract the attention of 'Red Eyebrow' Su Lun and the alien beast 'Vortex'."
Meng Chao looked at the dark passage and muttered, "He guided me to the depths of the Alloy Gladiatorial Arena, whether or not I can expose the true face of 'Red Eyebrow' Su Lun, at least I can attract a lot of attention and troops from the alien beast side."
"As long as 'Red Eyebrow' Suren and the alien beast 'Vortex' both believe that I am the one most likely to sabotage their plot and kill me at all costs, then Aji will be able to achieve his goals without knowing it.
"Although I am very curious about the true face of this 'Aji' and his purpose, but the conspiracy of 'Red Eyebrow' Su Lun and the alien beast 'Vortex' is an imminent threat, since Aji has no malicious intent, I can't directly tear his face, after thinking about it, I dipped a little red glow jade crystal powder with monster slime and slapped him on the back of the shoulder quietly.
"A few milligrams of red glow jade crystal powder, wrapped in monster slime, doesn't attract the attention of ordinary transcendents.
"But both of us are people who have been subjected to the impact of the psionic frenzy and have been tempered by the red glow jade, and the limbs and bones and the eight veins of the strange meridians, so we naturally have a keener perception.
"I originally thought that when the dust settled, if this kid didn't show up, maybe I could go to the door through the special ripples released by the red glow jade crystal powder to see what kind of ghost this kid was doing.
"Now that Sister Ya is here, you will track it, which is naturally faster and more accurate than me!"
Lu Siya glanced at Meng Chao deeply.
Keep your head down and think about it.
Seeing that she didn't move or say anything for a long time, Meng Chao said strangely: "Sister Ya, what are you thinking?" ”
"I'm wondering if I've ever offended you."
Lu Siya said, "If I really accidentally offend you, I'm afraid that I will be played to death by you." ”
“……”
Meng Chao scratched his head and said, "If it's Sister Ya, it's okay to offend a few times." ”
Lu Siya snorted lightly and said, "In that case, do you want to send more people down to track Aji together?" ”
"Not for now, right?"
Meng Chao pondered for a moment and said, "Now the situation above is still a pot of rotten porridge, the open flames on the periphery of Chaocheng have just been extinguished, and there are dozens of important facilities at risk, and the evacuation and disaster relief in the leprosy village is not a problem that can be solved in a few words, manpower, resources, and space are stretched thin everywhere!"
"Moreover, Aggie only has suspicions, and he can't be sure that he has anything to do with the alien beast 'Vortex'.
"In case my speculation is wrong, the real conspiracy of the alien beast 'Vortex' is somewhere else, and it will be self-defeating for us to rashly draw a large number of troops down.
"Besides, this passage is so narrow, the power armor armed to the teeth can't get into it at all, ordinary gang members are a burden in this kind of high-end bureau, the more they number, the more likely it is to startle the snake, it's better for the two of us to sneak in first to see, what kind of environment is inside, if we can determine the approximate coordinates of Aji, it will be too late to call for reinforcements."
