Chapter XXIII
This small space is a perfect square, and four round-mouthed torches illuminate the periphery, reflecting the colorful ancient frescoes on the walls.
Dull air filled the space, silently sucking in the traces of decay.
Linto, who opened his eyes, got up from the ground and found himself lying in the middle, his phone had been taken away, but the watch in his right hand showed that it was almost noon.
I don't remember what I ate this morning, but I wasn't hungry at all anyway, and Linto carefully observed the environment. His head was still slightly dizzy, and he suddenly remembered that he had been attacked in the morning, and he thought that he had slept for a long time, but it had only been an hour and a half.
It is likely that he was kidnapped by the murderer, but the other party did not tie himself up, what kind of psychology was out of it, Linto did not know.
Behind him was a door, brass-colored, without handles. And in front of him is an impenetrable darkness, and yes, all the secrets are hidden in the darkness.
Lintor expected that such a door must have some kind of switch, or somewhere on the floor beneath his feet, or hidden in the eyes of some mythical beast in the mural on the wall.
I don't know if it's because the effect of the drug hasn't passed, Lintor still feels a little weak in his limbs. At this time, he found that the place where he had just been lying was a little dented, which should not have been made by himself, and he stroked the concave with his hand, and there seemed to be a small protrusion in the middle.
It looked like something like a button, but when Lintor tried to press it, he realized it wasn't a button. Only by looking closely can we understand the meaning of its existence.
Linto lay back on the concave surface, curling up in a ball. After a while, he heard a loud noise coming from behind the stone door, and then a strong light bubbled up through the crack, and Linto only dared to squint.
It wasn't until he was fully familiar with the brightness that he saw a person standing in front of him. The other party was wearing a jet-black tights, in which the metallic link strips loomed, wrapping his perfect body tightly.
The other party obviously knew that he was awake, and Linto couldn't pretend to be able to go on, so he quickly got up from the ground, and faced the strange man's face with a look of fear.
He was waiting for the man to speak, even though he couldn't even make out his face—the other man was wearing a hood on his head. If he were to kill himself, it would be tantamount to pinching a lost ant to death, and Linto was still very afraid of death.
The man was not armed.
The two men stared at each other, and finally the man looked down at him and said, "Answer me three questions and let you go." ”
It's as simple as that? Linto was stupid, the other party neither killed nor did he need him as a hostage, and he could leave with only three questions.
It seems that if you don't want to accept it, you have to accept it, Linto raised his head and swallowed.
"Listen, first question, what seedlings can't grow?" The other party's deep voice swept over his ears, he really wasn't joking?
On the surface, it seemed like a simple brain teaser, but in fact it was a profound logical thinking question, so much so that Lintor couldn't even think of an answer to it for a while.
Damn, is he testing my IQ?
The man doesn't get what he wants, and he turns around and closes the door.
"Wait!" Lintor shouted at him.
The man stopped at the door.
"Can I know what the second problem is?"
The man remained silent, and the thick stone door slammed shut.
The bright flames seemed to be inexhaustible, and the space of more than ten square meters returned to silence. Lin sat on his legs in the depression, holding his head and thinking carefully, but he felt very uncomfortable.
After a short five minutes, he didn't think to stop there, listed all the words with the Miao character, and then removed the words with plants, so that it seemed that there was more than one answer.
Lintor ran to the door, but he forgot the hardness of the door, and even his bones hurt. Then he ran back and sat down, and the closed door rumbled open.
I don't know exactly how this works, but I feel amazing.
The man seemed to have been waiting behind the door, and he stood there when the door opened, and when Lintor had given the answer, the man led him out of the room.
He was in a long and narrow corridor, and the walls on both sides were covered with these earth-colored stone doors. The light above his head shone like fireworks, and the checkered bricks on the soles of his feet were compactly arranged.
The man walked to the right of the corridor, and Linto neither dared to approach nor to go away, because the other party looked like a bad guy and did not look like a bad guy, and he only felt that he was very strange.
They came to a security door at the corner at the end, and without any action, the red light on the side of the door automatically changed to a green light.
How does the system identify you? Linto muttered, and the two continued on their way.
It was another identical hallway, and around the corner it was the same security door, only this time it didn't open obediently. After a few seconds, the eyes under the hood suddenly looked over to Lintor.
He didn't know what the man meant, but he heard him say, "Borrow it." ”
Linto understood what the other party was borrowing, so he simply didn't talk, and then the other party actually lifted him up directly.
Linto didn't react at all, he subconsciously raised his hands, thinking that the other party was using himself to cover. I can't believe that my current expression must be confused.
In the end, however, nothing happened, and Linto cursed deeply at the man behind him.
It wasn't until the green light came on that the man put him down. Lintor rubbed his armpits in disgust, and a layer of goosebumps developed all over his body.
The indoor temperature is not low, and the heat emitted by those fluorescent lamps is enough to give the impression of lying on the beach and basking in the sun. The man didn't pay attention to Linto's feelings, and continued as if nothing had happened.
Fortunately, the back of the door was no longer a long corridor, but a rather large space, otherwise Linto would have really dizzy.
It's more magical than any other place on earth.
Four stout corrugated stone pillars stand on top of the blue-green ceiling more than five meters high, each stone pillar is printed with extremely magnificent ancient paintings, and every colorful stone brick on the ground seems to tell the decaying and great legend.
The elven fairies carved from white nephrite are displayed on the left side one by one, and they are waiting day and night in this sacred temple.
It was so wonderful that Lintor would probably never dream of this wonderful scene for the rest of his life. You'll have to take a picture of it, and Linto fumbled in his pocket, probably forgetting that his phone didn't exist.
There was a little surprise in the man's eyes, but he walked towards a stone slab in the center of the pillar. The golden, ancient rectangular stone slab stood at waist high at 45 degrees, and the man seemed to have never seen its contents.
Linto ignored him, straightened up and walked to the stone staircase opposite, thinking to himself, I am not afraid of you.
