Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Strange Labyrinth
The time agreed with the crow soon came, and Ling Yu took advantage of the night to walk out of her house after a little rest at home. Qingling Ancient City is not far from his home, and it is also a place in the center of the city, but compared to other places in the center of the city, it seems relatively desolate, and almost no one has gone there. A few years ago, someone invited an old gentleman who looked at feng shui, and the old gentleman said that the feng shui in that place was not good, and I don't know if it was because of this reason, the entertainment venues there would be closed down before.
But Ling Yu doesn't care about this, she has never cared about ghosts and gods, it's all made up by so-called people, and people are scary. It's just like the original Yan Fei case. But this time the opponent is a crow, who is obviously by his side, but he can't see his shadow.
Ling Yu hoped that this time when she came to the ancient city, she could search for information about crows, or about Long Fei's car accident three years ago.
At about half past eleven in the evening, Ling Yu had already driven to the ancient city of Qingling, there was no light outside the ancient city, even if it was to welcome the moonlight, it was impossible to see its general appearance, only a vague figure. In general, Qingling Ancient City is more like a castle and looks solemn on the outside, but in this environment, people are more frightened.
It is said that the moonrise frightens the mountain birds, which is not false at all, although there are no mountain birds here, but now the Qingling Ancient City is under the moonlight, and its top will occasionally startle one or two crows, and its frightened figure in the moonlight makes people appear more panicked at this time close to midnight. Probably that's what crows like, bringing fear in the darkness of the night and merciless taunts in the dark.
may have been accustomed to the night, Ling Yu is not interested in this phenomenon, and she often came here when she was a child, this place is still relatively familiar to Ling Yu, she raised her arm and looked at the time on her watch, there is less than a minute to midnight, from the time she arrived here to now, she has been waiting for almost half an hour or so.
Judging from the previous two Raven's actions, he has always been punctual in his work, and this time is no exception. When the time on his watch reached twelve o'clock, the mobile phone in his pocket rang at this time.
"Raven." Ling Yu picked up the phone, and she knew it was a crow calling.
"Miss Ling, you're very punctual."
Ling Yu sneered: "Hmph, aren't you also very punctual? ”
"Okay, then don't talk nonsense, have you seen the Qingling Ancient City in front of you, if you want to know the truth about Long Fei's death three years ago, go in and find it yourself."
"Long Fei's car accident was really done by you, right! Feed! ”
She wanted to be confirmed by Raven, but Raven had already hung up the phone, not knowing what Raven wanted to play again.
Put away the mobile phone, Ling Yu stood in front of the gate of the ancient city, she was familiar with everything here before, but now she felt very vague about this place, pushed open the gate of the ancient city, Ling Yu walked in, it was dark inside, she couldn't see anything clearly, she tried to turn on the flashlight of the phone, but that little bit of light could not find anything in front of her, and she could only barely see the road around her.
As soon as she fully stepped into the ancient city with both feet, the door behind her was shut, and now she couldn't see anything except that her surroundings were barely illuminated by the light of her mobile phone. Or even that she didn't know where to go.
Just when he was at a loss, there was a sudden light inside the ancient city, Ling Yu saw that he was now trapped in a corridor, the torches on both sides of the corridor were lit one after another, and the entire corridor lit up instantly, but it seems that there should be many small rooms in the entire Qingling Ancient City, this is just the first corridor. And the reason why these torches will light up on their own is that the crow has done something here before, and then he just needs to hide in the dark and control it.
Because, along with the torches lit up on both sides, there were also skeletons scattered in all corners of the corridor, and the eerie white bones appeared in Ling Yu's eyes. At the same time, there are the familiar patches of black feathers.
Subsequently, Ling Yu's mobile phone received a message from a crow.
"You only have two hours, find a way to get out of here and you will know what you want, if you can't get out, you will be destroyed with here!"
Ling Yu closed the phone after reading it, it is now twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and from now on he only has two hours, looking at the crow's statement, he must have installed a bomb somewhere in the ancient city of Qingling, and the setting time will explode in two hours, but this time it is not like being in a villa, trapped in the ancient city, he doesn't know where to go, let alone find the location of the crow's hidden bomb.
So, now you have to get out of here.
The current Qingling Ancient City can be said to be a labyrinth, or a secret room, the door behind him was closed after he came in just now, and he just tried it, and now there is no way to break through the door with his own strength. You have to move forward and find another way out.
Ling Yu took one of the torches from the top of the hallway and held it in her hand as her own lighting tool. Stepping on the black feathers on the ground, he walked towards the end of the hallway.
"Boom!"
After walking for about a distance, Ling Yu seemed to have stepped on something, and the stone slab under her feet sank slightly, and then, several arrows quickly flew out from the small hole in the stone wall of the corridor that was not visible to the naked eye, Ling Yu quickly threw away the torch in her hand, dodging the flying bow and arrows, she rolled on the ground, while using her clothes to resist the flying arrows. Then, the small hole in the stone wall stopped shooting, and Ling Yu also stopped to catch his breath for a while.
It seems that the skeletons here are not so-called props, but real, it should be that after being abandoned here for a long time, someone still wants to come in and explore the mysteries of the ancient city, and they don't want to trigger the mechanism on the stone slab. Shot by an arrow, die here.
However, Ling Yu is strange that this place has only been abandoned for more than 20 years, and he has been here when he was a child, and he didn't want the corpse here to be left so quickly, and even the clothes on his body have completely rotted. From this point of view, there are indeed many secrets in the Qingling Ancient City.
Soon, Ling Yu came to the end of the corridor, and at the end of the corridor was a large door, which seemed to lead to another room. And the door was not locked, Ling Yu pushed open the door and walked in.
She entered the new room, which was very modern, with glass cabinets, tables and chairs, but the most striking thing was a large model of a crow in the corner of the wall.
In addition to this, there is a huge Go board on the wall opposite the door, but there are no pieces on it, and there are numbers on the top and right of this huge board, from one to twenty, in order.
Looking at the furnishings in the house, Ling Yu also noticed that there was a door in the corner on the right side of this room, but this door was locked, Ling Yu had no way to open it, and the other door was the door he had just entered.
Now the only way out is the location of the other door, and to open the other door, you have to find the key corresponding to that door, and this key must be hidden in a corner of this room.
Ling Yu looked at this room, there were light bulbs on the top of the room, but the light was not very bright, and he could only barely see the situation in the room, creating a depressing atmosphere in the room, and the surrounding furnishings were relatively modern, and the only thing that was more abrupt was the model of the crow at the base of the wall. Generally speaking, no one would choose a model of a crow to put in a room, except in a museum, but there are not only here, but the model is also very large, even if his code name is Crow, it takes a lot of effort to move such an abrupt model of a crow here.
According to his temperament when he faced off with himself before, the crow is not a thankless person, and there must be something in this big crow model.
Ling Yu stepped forward, and had to say, looking closer, this crow model was really a little scary, she looked at this model, and reached out to try to find something on it. The model of this crow looks more than two meters tall, and I am afraid that I can't pick it up myself. The feathers looked at the wings, among the black feathers, and even the eyes, and there was nothing suspicious.
Thinking that there was no clue there, Ling Yu was about to leave, and suddenly observed the beak of the crow model. From the nostrils of this model, you can faintly see that it is empty, can it be said that the cat is hidden in the mouth of this model?
With this in mind, Ling Yu approached the model's mouth. She broke open the crow's beak and found a key inside, now that half an hour had passed, and there was still an hour and a half left, Ling Yu picked up the key and hurried in the direction of another door, she had to save every moment of time, because she didn't know how many rooms like this were in the back.
But before the key could be inserted into the keyhole, Ling Yu was disappointed, because the key corresponding to the keyhole of this door was not this one at all, and the key could not be inserted at all.
In this way, if you want to open this door, you have to find the answer in this room. So what does this key do now?
Ling Yu looked back at the layout of the room behind her, by the way, there is also the cabinet, the cabinet is also locked, could it be that this key is used to open the cabinet? She hurried to the cabinet, inserted the key in her hand, and with a slight twist, the cabinet was opened. She looked at the contents of the cabinet, which contained only two jars.
She took out the two jars, placed them on the table, and then opened them, and inside it turned out to be the black and white pieces of the chessboard, and looked at the bottom of the chess pieces, as if there were still magnets. I think it should be placed on the chessboard according to a certain rule.
The chess pieces in the two jars didn't add up to much, and Ling Yu took them all out and sucked them into the big chessboard he had seen earlier. However, although the pieces have been sucked on the board, there is nothing strange about it. Open the cabinet according to the key and get the chess pieces, these chess pieces must be useful, but now put them on the chessboard and there is no reaction, is your judgment wrong?
She looked at the board carefully, and suddenly she felt that something was wrong, and she looked at the few pieces on the board again.
Could it be so!
