Volume 3 Over the Moon (25)
Behind the gate was a dark passageway, the length of which should be the thickness of the wall, and Thor walked into it with his hand on the inner wall of the passage.
Dori didn't go far, and it should be too late to catch up now!
After walking a dozen steps, Thor's eyes had gradually adjusted to the darkness, and he could vaguely see the scene ahead, Thor let go of his hand holding the wall and continued to go deeper.
After walking for a few minutes, Thor finally saw a small car quietly parked on the road in front of him, and Thor was overjoyed:
Fortunately, Dolly hasn't set off yet, and it's still too late!
Thor stepped forward quickly, and got into the back of the car.
It's empty inside! There was only one locked iron cabinet.
How is this possible? I saw Dori follow them into the door!
"Babble...... Pound! ”
A door in the wall opened and closed, and Thor slipped under the roof of the car with a spirit.
Usually, the elder repeatedly stated that he was not allowed to approach the gate without his summons, and that he should know that he had slipped in like this, and that he did not know how he would punish himself.
Hey?
Hiding under the car, Thor found an overturned suitcase on the ground, and the contents were all familiar to him - all the contents were Dory's! Some of the small objects were made by him and Ray themselves!
Thor was about to exclaim in his mouth, but he suddenly pressed it with his hand.
Wrong! This is very strange!
After holding his breath for a while, Saul made sure there was no one else around, and took a piece of the broken vanity mirror from the messy pile of luggage and ran. By the time he got back to his friends, Thor was out of breath.
"How's Thor? Did you catch up? ”
Ming Jing asked Thor with an eager expression.
Thor changed his face when he heard this, quickly glanced around with his eyes, and then pulled Ming Jing and Ray to a secluded place:
"Shhhh Be quiet! What do you think this is? ”
Thor carefully handed the vanity mirror in his hand to Ming Jing and Lei:
"I found Dory's overturned suitcase in the tunnel and found this inside!"
Ming Jing looked at it and said in surprise:
"This ...... Isn't this a mirror that Dori treasures? How could it be broken! ”
Thor smiled bitterly:
"That so-called transfer, I'm afraid it's not that simple, Dori didn't go to the creation god, she disappeared!"
"How so!"
This time, not only Mingjing, but even Lei was shocked.
"I'm well-founded!"
Saul put the mirror in his hand in his pocket:
Dolly didn't take the mirror, she didn't take anything else. Even if the gods don't lack anything, we should always bring along the souvenirs that contain our shared memories, right? ”
"Besides, don't you think it's strange? The elders said that our seniors had gone to the gods, but they had brought us a message after all this time? It can't be that they are all unkind people, right? ”
"Maybe they're very busy somewhere......"
Ming Jing still had a hint of illusion and argued weakly.
"It's a bit of a problem."
Even the honest Minotaur heard the doorway and interrupted Ming Jing's words.
"Yo~, it turns out that you are all hiding here? It's so hard for me to find it! ”
The sudden appearance of a fourth startled the three who were discussing the issue, and Thor turned his head to see that it was Dylan, the famous lone wanderer in the castle, who was known for his love of walking along the walls alone.
"What are you looking for us? We don't know each other well! ”
Thor looked at Dylan warily.
"I saw you sneak into the gate and run out in a panic. What do you see! ”
Dylan was also nervous when he asked this.
Saul's pupils shrank after Dylan's words came out:
"Are you dazzled? We've been playing here! ”
What to do? What to do! I've been seen!
Thor is now flustered in his heart.
"Let's stop playing pantomime! Any idea why I like to spread along the stone wall? ”
Dylan's eyes quickly swept left and right, and after noticing that there was no one around, he handed over a few paper balls:
"Open it and take a look, it's all wrapped in heavy objects and thrown in!"
Thor took the ball of paper from Dylan's hand and carefully unfolded it, with the following words:
'Serving the gods is a lie', 'Running away', 'Death' and so on.
Thor looked up at Dylan in surprise.
"I picked it up by chance, and I've been suspicious of what the elder said ever since. Thor, tell me, is Dolly dead? ”
"I don't know if it's dead."
Thor shook his head, and handed the cracked mirror to Dylan again:
"But/; She's missing! ”
"Bell bell bell ~, bell ......"
Just as they were about to continue exchanging information, the bell rang.
"Come to my room at night!"
Dylan dropped a word and ran out.
The remaining three glanced at each other and walked to the meeting point together.
Anyway, they don't have any way to get them out of this situation for the time being, Dylan asks them to go to him at night, maybe he will have some great information, maybe they will gain something.
When they arrived at the open space where they gathered, the others were already in place, and the elder's cold gaze lingered on the three of them for a while, and then waved his withered hand:
"Go back to sleep, you're the last three."
Thor also lowered his head and followed everyone to the sleeping dormitory.
"Thor, wait, I have something to say to you."
Hearing that the elder was a thief, Thor's heart tightened, but he still squeezed out a bright smile on his face:
"Elder, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing, it's just that Dori is gone, you go to her dormitory and see if there's anything else you haven't brought."
The elder hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything, but Thor always felt that the elder was aware of his sneaking into the door without permission, and with trepidation, Thor went directly to Dylan's room after returning to the dormitory.
"Tuk Tuk"
"Squeak~"
The wood was opened from the inside, and Dylan, who had only opened a crack in the door, saw that Thor had let him into the room, and Thor didn't say a word, but chose a place on the edge of the bed and sat down.
"Tuk Tuk"
When he heard the knock again, Dylan, who had just wanted to sit down, went to open the door again.
"It's Lei and Mingjing"
Dylan turned back to tell Thor and pulled the door open.
"Huh? Thor, you came before me? ”
Ray the Minotaur was surprised to see Thor sitting at the head of the bed, but he saw that the elder stopped Thor and thought that he would be interrogated for a while.
Thor's face was now a cloud of gloom:
"Well, I always feel that the elder already knows about my sneaking into the gate, and I feel a little uneasy and want to discuss a countermeasure with you as soon as possible."
"Then let me tell you what I know first."
Dylan pulled out a few more wrinkled sheets of paper from under his bed:
"After stumbling upon those notes, I spent a while deliberately searching for them, and sure enough, I found some other information."
"These bits and pieces of information tell me that this castle will be the last stop of our lives, and that there is only a dead end to staying here. The only chance was to climb over the walls and run deep into the dense forest to the west. ”
The others flipped through the note, and sure enough, it was written to warn everyone to find a way to escape, and it also introduced some simple escape tools.
"Is it really necessary for us to escape?"
Ming Jing did not have a clear understanding of her current situation. In her image, this place is where she grew up, with countless friends, and this is her home.
Thor stood up and grabbed her shoulders tightly:
"Mingjing, don't leave it to chance, think about the missing Dori!"
Ming Jing's face turned pale and she stopped talking.
"Now that everyone has reached a consensus"
Dylan's gaze lingered on the faces of the members in the room for a moment, and then he took out a few notebooks from the dark compartment on the floor and distributed them to everyone:
"Then we will start planning an escape, these books are the raw materials needed to make tools, I hope you will pay attention to collect them in the future. Okay, it's not good to be together for too long, let's all disperse......"
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day, Thor sat on the grassy slope as usual and looked at the high wall, feeling a sense of urgency in addition to yearning.
"Thor, come with me"
Thor heard the voice and realized that the elder was already standing at the bottom of the slope, looking at him with indifferent eyes.
Thor panicked in his heart, instinctively sensing that something was wrong.
The silent elder led Thor to Dylan's room and closed the door.
"You know why I brought you here, right?"
Thor could only shake his head and pretend to be ignorant.
The elder sighed:
"Hey, I grew up watching you, and it's a little uncomfortable for me to transfer you away......"
"What?"
Thor's face suddenly changed:
"We? Who else? ”
Thor understood that the Elder had learned about his sneaking into the gate. After all, he didn't know that there was such a cruel truth hidden in the transfer incident at that time, and he didn't cover it up much when he went in, and the elder only needed to ask the residents of the castle one by one to learn the truth of the matter, and it was reasonable that he would accept the punishment.
But Thor never thought it would drag anyone else down!
"Naturally, it's Mingjing, Ray, and Dylan."
The Elder's words were like a cold wind blowing from the Nine Shadows, making Thor cold from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
"Why? It has nothing to do with them! ”
"Why do you think I let you go yesterday?"
The elder said slowly:
"I've long sensed that there is an element of instability in the castle, and I took this opportunity to clear it."
Thor turned around and wanted to run.
"Where can you run? You've dragged down Lei and Mingjing, do you still want to involve all the members of the settlement? ”
Thor stopped at what he said.
yes, what's the point of telling someone else the news? It is nothing more than to make more members victims.
"That's right!"
The elder patted Thor's shoulder with satisfaction:
"Say goodbye to your companions! If you can settle down, I'll make your last few days easier. ”
Thor was full of indignation, eager to strangle the elder in front of him immediately, but he was helpless against him.
