Chapter 194: Who Is He?
"I'm not sure who is behind the scenes, but I believe the director of the Wind Authority walked the path we came from." Ling Ling said, pointing to the small emerald door.
The door was now open to the inside of the dark room, but it was hazy outside. Perhaps it was because the cold glow had been around for too long, and it had soaked every corner of the plane, and even if it was cleared by the golden orb, it would still function like a ghost.
Although it only took a few hours to walk the way outside the door, because the process was so complicated and difficult, some places Ziqi couldn't even remember.
Just like the road outside the door, when I look back, it is already blurred.
"So," Ziqi said slowly, "this labyrinth is used to screen the director?" ”
"Yes." Lingling smiled and said, "Isn't it interesting?" ”
"Interesting?"
"I think, just like the countless dogs in this crystal coffin, the people behind the scenes have also released a lot of people into this labyrinth. The labyrinth is also an arena, and there is only one winner in the end. ”
"What about the losers?" Ziqi asked knowingly.
"I'm afraid they're all dead." Lingling said with a confused look in his eyes, "We all know that there are too many places to bury in this labyrinth. ”
After listening to Lingling's words, Ziqi couldn't help but think of the mysterious destruction phenomenon on the vast grassland.
"That's right, too many." Ziqi muttered.
"Huh." Lingling smiled, "Look, how funny this is. There are two arenas at the same time, and there is only one winner in each arena. Eventually, the winner of the labyrinth takes on the responsibility of feeding the victor in the crystal coffin. ”
"It's fun, it's really fun." Ziqi raised his head to look at the huge and vague figure above the ice and said, "The people behind the scenes may think so, only the victors of the humans are qualified to feed the victors of the beasts. ”
"Strangely, the victor of the beast is above us, and the victor of the labyrinth is nowhere to be found." Lingling said.
"It's not like I'm missing." Ziqi frowned and recalled, "I remember that No. 1 said that the director is currently in Kuba Town. ”
"Brother Ziqi, you still remember Kuba Town, I'm about to forget these words."
"Yes, the first time I heard this name was in Ah Zao's house, on the note left by the Pai Gow master. Our original goal was to accompany Master Poker to the small town of Kuba to find the whereabouts of the devil's dice. But then there were so many things that followed, and we were getting farther and farther away from that goal. Ziqi said softly, his expression slightly bitter.
Ziqi understands that it is not only these companions who accompany the poker adults who deviate from the goal, but also himself.
It's been too long to enter the game, and Ziqi has a faint feeling in his heart that a game shouldn't have such a long process.
There can only be one explanation for this, that you have deviated from the goal of the game.
No, not a deviation.
The so-called deviation at least has a goal, and I haven't even found what the goal of the game is.
It turns out that you have been wasting your time?
A feeling of loss rose from the bottom of my heart.
"Brother Ziqi, are you okay?"
"It's fine." Ziqi smiled reluctantly.
"Still worried about Poker?" Ling Ling asked with a blazing gaze.
"No ......" Ziqi just wanted to deny it, but after a pause, he still admitted, "Well, there is a little. ”
Obviously, at this moment, Ziqi is not worried about Lord Poker, he is just worried about himself.
But in the face of Lingling, he could only say this.
He couldn't tell Lingling that he was the only protagonist in this world.
"We've been in for a long time." Ling Ling looked at the last cold light behind the crystal coffin and said, "And the energy of the small ball has decayed, and it will not be able to eliminate this area for a while." Let's take a look outside. ”
"Okay."
The two turned and walked towards the small emerald door, and the sound of crisp footsteps immediately sounded in the dark room.
"Brother Ziqi, do you think it's strange?" Lingling asked as she walked.
"What's weird?"
"This is the head of the Wind Turbine Bureau, why do you think he lives in that so-called Koopa town?"
"Maybe, maybe something?"
"Normally, it's okay, but he's supposed to be here today." Ling Ling suddenly stopped and said, "Today is the day of the final ceremony. ”
"That's right." Ziqi also stopped, "Since the meaning of the director's existence is to feed the giant beast, today is the day when the giant beast will be formed, which means that the task has been successfully completed." At this last moment, the Director should be in charge of the Wind Control Bureau. ”
"Maybe the director isn't in Kuba at all, so it's just a cover?" Lingling said with a confused look in her eyes, her brain was racing.
Lingling's words surprised Ziqi, he had never thought about this question before.
"Why such a pretense?" Ziqi muttered.
"To attract people's eyes?" Lingling said tentatively, "To cover up a fact? ”
"What facts?"
"Perhaps, something happened to the director? Even, the director is dead at all? Lingling's voice grew louder and firmer.
"Dead?" Ziqi said in disbelief.
At this moment, a voice came from behind him.
It was a shattering sound, like something was shattering behind the two of them.
"That's," Spirit immediately turned, "Ball? The ball shattered? ”
"Check it out!" Ziqi said loudly.
"Knock, knock, knock."
The sound of their hurried footsteps rang out in the dark room.
The bright red crystal coffin is getting bigger and bigger in front of you, and the extremely cruel Shura field is gradually becoming clear.
Ziqi and Lingling ran to the crystal coffin in three steps and two steps, and quickly spared it, and what appeared in front of the two of them was an unbelievable picture.
The last of the cold glows in the dark room faded, but it didn't disappear completely, because the golden orb really shattered. It shattered beside an old arm stretched out by a man who had fallen to the ground.
That's right.
The Chamber of Darkness is not empty, there is a man in the area behind the crystal coffin!
No wonder the ball was silent because it really hit the flesh.
"Yes, there are people." Ziqi said in fear.
If there's one thing in the Chamber of Darkness that shouldn't exist, it's life.
Because the ubiquitous cold glow can freeze any life in the snap of a finger.
So, even if there was a person lying on the ground behind the crystal coffin, it should be a corpse.
But this corpse Ziqi didn't dare to confirm it, because the person lying on the ground was very special.
He was very old, not even more than the Lord of the Sea. He lay on his side on the cold ground, his eyes slightly closed, as if he were asleep. His hair was snow-white, and his beard was snow-white, and the hair and beard were too long and unkempt to be completely connected.
No one will let hair grow like this, because it greatly affects a person's activities, unless the person is not in a position to take care of it.
Under what circumstances can a person not be able to take care of his hair and beard?
The answer is obvious, captive people.
There is no doubt that the old man who fell to the ground had been imprisoned for a long time, and it looked as if he had been imprisoned in this dark room.
Because his face was unusually pale, even like a thick layer of frost.
But can anyone survive this long in the cold of frozen life in this moment? Long enough to grow hair like this and a beard like this?
Unless he is not afraid of the cold like the giant beast in the crystal coffin.
If so, then he just fell, whether he was dead or not, Ziqi was not sure.
"Brother Ziqi, look, look!" Lingling pointed to the man who had fallen in the cold and shouted, "That hand, that hand that didn't stretch out is still glowing. ”
Sure enough, through the cold glow that did not completely disappear, Ziqi saw a golden light.
"This light, this light is not very familiar?" Lingling asked.
"It's very familiar, it's clearly the warm light of the golden ball, but it's very faint."
"That's right." Lingling continued, "I'm sure there's a small ball in that hand as well. ”
Is that why he survived for so long?
Because he has a small ball in his hand that can both fight the cold and provide energy?
Ziqi looked over again, and through the cold light like the white mist, such a picture appeared in his mind.
The old man who fell to the ground seemed to be in the middle of boundless darkness, and he held a lit candle tightly in his hand.
This candle provides all the light and warmth, thinning the darkness.
But the flame of the candle jumped and jumped, and it was about to burn out.
"It looks like the light is about to go out." Ling Ling said with certainty.
"Hmm." Ziqi nodded.
The golden light was fading at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the gold was slowly being pulled white.
"Who do you say this man is?" Ling Ling asked suddenly.
"No, I don't know." Ziqi shook his head slightly.
"I guess he should be in a high position." Lingling said.
"Why?"
"Because he's imprisoned here." Ling Ling said slowly, "We all know that the Wind Turbine is big, very big. If it's an ordinary person, then you can just find a random place, why bother to send people here? ”
"That's right. However, it is possible that he was not sent, but broke in on his own, just like us. ”
"Nope." Lingling shook his head and continued, "Remember that rope? ”
"Rope, the rope when Lord Poker pulled us up?"
"yes, isn't it strange to have a rope on top of the pit?" Ling Ling paused and continued, "But it's not strange to see this person, the rope should be used to bind him. ”
"So," Ziqi gradually recognized Lingling's guess, "he was sent over." ”
"Yes, he was not put to death, nor was he locked up in a random place, but he was escorted step by step to the deepest part of the labyrinth, the Chamber of Darkness. You know, it's going to be dangerous. Moreover, he also has a small golden ball in his hand, all of which represents his extremely high status. Ling Ling turned his head to look at Ziqi and said, "Guess who he is?" ”
