Inside the corridor, the lights are bright, and everything is visible.

Not far from the door, there was also a man who lay on his back, unlike Freud, who was lying on his back to the sky.

It's just that there is a very thin wound on the neck. At this time, the blood on the neck had dried up.

"Strange, Mr. Chimera?"

Ziqi and Lingling rushed over quickly.

The man who fell to the ground was none other than their companion along the way, the Chimera.

He was motionless, not breathing, not having a heartbeat.

He's dead.

It's just that the two little eyes haven't been completely closed, and the imminent loss of energy is filled with fear, despair, anger, and disbelief.

"He, he's dead? Or, or did you faint? Ziqi slowly squatted down, "You must have fainted, right?" Before we got in, Mr. Chimera asked Master Poker to knock him unconscious, so, he, he just fainted? ”

Ziqi's voice became smaller and smaller, just like his confidence.

Because his trembling fingertips had touched the underside of the Chimera Mouse's nose, and he was not breathing, and the Chimera Rat was no longer breathing!

"Big Brother Ziqi." Lingling didn't crouch down, but turned his gaze to something else, "Mr. Chimera Rat is dead, and it's been dead for a long time, and the bloodstains, the bloodstains have dried up. ”

"Dead...... Ziqi sat down on the ground, "Dead." Why, why did he die? He must have just fainted. ”

Lingling didn't speak, her eyes still wandering around, and soon, her gaze was fixed on one thing.

"When we listened to Freud in the Chamber of Darkness, here," said the spirit as he walked over the thing he wanted to see, "something terrible must have happened." ”

"Yes, terrible thing." Ziqi felt tears rolling in his eyes.

Although he didn't know the Chimera for long, the journey was long.

In Ziqi's heart, he has long regarded the Chimera Rat as his partner. And this gentleman is indeed like a partner who accompanies and helps everyone.

"Who killed him?" Ziqi stretched out his hand and slowly closed his eyes for the Chimera Mouse, "Who killed such a good person?" ”

"Brother Ziqi......" Lingling's voice came from the back of Ziqi's head, and she slowly leaned down and grabbed the thing in her hand.

"Hmm." Ziqi was still sitting on the ground and didn't look back.

"Big brother," Ling Ling looked at Ziqi's back, and stopped talking.

"Say it." Ziqi said without looking back, "Did you find something?" ”

"Hmm."

Ziqi took a long breath and said, "Say, don't worry about me, I can bear anything, what could be more terrible than death?" ”

"Big Brother Ziqi." Lingling grabbed the things in his hand more urgently, "You know, there should be two people here. ”

Two people?

That's right!

Two people!

Ziqi jumped up from the ground.

A moment ago, his faint attention was focused on the matter, and the death of the Chimera rat had taken over his entire brain.

At that moment, he forgot to think.

"Lord Poker, Lord Poker is gone." Ziqi Huoran turned his head to look at Ling Ling and said, "You're right, something terrible must have happened here. Someone, someone showed up, he killed the Chimera rat, and kidnapped Master Poker! ”

"This ......"

"Let's go!" Ziqi turned around and took two quick steps, ready to take Lingling's little hand, "Let's go, we must rescue Lord Poker." ”

"Wait a minute." Lingling broke free from Ziqi's hand.

"What's wrong?" Ziqi was at a loss.

"Probably," Lingling bowed his head, "there's no third person here. ”

"How is it possible that there is no third person?" Ziqi felt inexplicable, "How did Mr. Chimera Mouse die?" How did the poker growers disappear? ”

"Have you noticed Mr. Chimera's wounds?" Lingling said.

"Wounds?" Ziqi turned his head and looked at the corpse lying on the ground from a distance.

"It is clear that on the neck, a very thin wound, indicating that the weapon is light, but sharp."

"yes, what do you think of?"

"I don't know." Ziqi scratched his head and said, "I haven't seen many weapons. ”

"But, have you ever seen this?" Ling Ling stretched out his hand and shook the thing he picked up in front of Ziqi.

"This, this is ......" Ziqi was speechless.

Lingling pinched a card with three fingers, the lights in the corridor were bright, and with the swing of the hand, the silver light on the card rolled, dazzling people's eyes.

"This is, Lord Poker's cards?" Ziqi was stunned.

"Hmm." Lingling's hand no longer swayed, but was firmly fixed in the air, and a trail of blood became clear, sticking to the sharp edge of the card, shocking.

"Impossible." Ziqi shook his head and said, "This is impossible!" ”

"I don't want to believe it." Ling Ling lowered his head and said, "But, there is no doubt that this card is a murder weapon. ”

"Even if this card is a murder weapon, it does not mean that the poker master is the murderer." Ziqi argued, "Maybe, maybe someone stole the card and then used it to kill the Chimera Rat." ”

"We, we all know how much poker adults value their cards." Lingling said.

Although she did not directly refute Ziqi's hypothesis, this sentence was tantamount to a rebuttal.

"But, what if something special happens?" Ziqi continued to argue, "Hanmang, that Hanmang will make people bloody and brutal. Mr. Chimera Mouse just didn't go on like this, so he let the poker master stun him. ”

The more Ziqi spoke, the more he felt that he had found hope.

"Yes, it must be!" Ziqi continued, "Maybe Lord Poker couldn't bear this dark change after stuning the Chimera Rat, so he also took measures to stun himself. Think about it? If there are two fainted people lying on the ground, then after the third person appears, he will naturally do what he wants to do. He first took a card out of the poker master's sleeve, then used it to kill the Chimera Rat and tossed it aside. In the end, he finally carried the poker master and left. ”

"Hmm." Ling Ling didn't refute Ziqi, but nodded and said, "There is such a possibility. ”

"Right!" Ziqi instantly became excited, "It must be like this, a poker master would never do such a thing." Let's go, Spirit, we haven't been in the Chamber of Darkness for long. There's nowhere to go here, and we'll just have to follow the path we came from to find the mysterious third person. We've got to save the poker adults! ”

"Well, let's go."

In fact, there are many hypotheses in Lingling's mind, and what Ziqi said is only the one that Lingling thinks is the least likely, but she is still willing to believe this hypothesis.

So, the two began to run in the direction from which the road had come.

Along the way, they have lost Jujube and Chimera Mouse, and they never want to lose Poker Master again!

Soon, the world of the senses came into view.

One step further, there is a cliff-like pit.

Just when Ziqi was sure to slide down the deep pit along the broken wall, he saw something.

Right on the edge of the pit, as if it had been placed here on purpose.

It's the rope, which is coiled in a very regular circle. In the middle is a red flower-like thing, which is very familiar, and it is what the camel god left for the poker lord when he left the strange fish.

"Why is this flower here?" Ziqi stopped and picked up the salute flower in confusion.

The moment the ceremonial flower left the ground, what was underneath the ceremonial flower was revealed, and it was a very rough piece of paper.

"There's a note." Ling Ling picked up the piece of paper with a solemn face, and had a faint bad premonition in his heart.

Because, the appearance of this piece of paper represents that reality is approaching a certain assumption in her heart.

Lingling slowly unfolded the note, both eyes fixed on the paper.

I saw that some words were written very sloppily and messily on the note, which showed that the writing was very hasty, and the handwriting was difficult to read.

"Ziqi, Lingling. I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye to you. Because time waits for no one, and I still have a lot of important things to deal with......" Lingling silently read out.

This is, this is what Poker Adults wrote?

Ziqi thought to himself.

"Shortly after you entered the Chamber of Darkness, I experienced one of the most complicated and difficult times of my life. First of all, I want to say that it is painful and unfortunate that Mr. Chimera Rat is dead. Ziqi's heart twitched, Lord Poker actually knew about this?

How could he have watched Mr. Chimera Mouse be killed?

Ling Ling paused at this point, and frowned, his two small hands trembling with exertion, as if the words on the note were too illegible.

But soon, Lingling continued.

"I did it."

These four words are very light and faint.

But, for Ziqi, it is tantamount to a sword that passes through the chest!

"What, what?"

As soon as the words came out, Ziqi was stunned to find that his voice was hoarse.

"Believe me, I don't want to do anything like this, but there's nothing I can do." Ling Ling continued, "The evil power contained in the cold light is too great, obviously beyond the range of the Chimera Rat. Knocked unconscious, he quickly woke up and attacked me in a frenzy. As I tried my best to subdue him, I saw blood seeping out of his eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth, and he shook his head in agony, as if he were being eaten by ten thousand ants at once. Kill me, kill me, he said weakly. ”

So that's the case?

No, is that all? Killed the Chimera Rat for such a reason alone?

Ziqi felt that this reason was still a little lacking. He knew Lord Poker, when facing Captain Ji's earth-shattering cannonball on the dice stone, Lord Poker could even protect No. 1, who was still an enemy at the time, under his body, how could he kill the Chimera Rat so easily?

Is it just to help him get free?

No, poker grown-ups would never do that.

Because, there must be a better way.
