Chapter 477: The Puppet Returns to the Soul
The torture technique went towards the alley on the right, took down the wooden signs on the dolls along the way, and also put down the locator, in fact, the road they came from was not complicated, just turned two corners, that is to say, he walked back, only need to turn twice to return to the yamen, at least you can see the wall with paintings.
Who knows, when the torture technique turned the second corner, it was found that there was no road there, just a damp cave wall. The torture technique was obviously a little unwilling, and stepped forward to touch the cave wall, but there was nothing on it. What's going on? He was obviously not mistaken, and his memory of torture had always been very good.
Helpless, the torture had to go back the same way, wanting to return to the location of the restaurant, who knew that on the way back, he found that the dolls whose clothes had been removed before were standing there in good shape, and the clothes were back on his body.
Xingshu subconsciously touched the wooden cards in his backpack, and he took out six wooden cards along the way, and the way to determine if he was lost is actually very simple, that is, to check whether there are wooden cards in the bodies of those dolls. Thinking of this, the torture technique slowly stepped forward, walked up to a puppet, uncovered its clothes and looked inside, and found that there was no wooden sign, that is, he was not wrong, but who helped the puppet put on the clothes?
Torture subconsciously looked at the head of the puppet, because the puppet's head only has the contour of the facial features, so, each puppet looks the same, but now it feels so penetrating, in order to make sure that he is not wrong, the torture stiffens his hair and examines the six puppets he met along the way. As he thought, these six dolls were indeed the ones who took off their clothes and took off the wooden plaque by himself.
But when he looked down at the screen of the timer, he found that the three locators he had thrown down earlier were far away from him, and the three signals were clustered together. In other words, someone took three locators after putting down the locators in the torture technique. Of course, Tang Qianlin and Wei Chiran would not do such a boring prank, so there is either a fourth person here, or these puppets...... Torture didn't dare to think about it any longer, he quickened his pace and walked towards the location of the restaurant in his memory, he had to rush back immediately.
After Tang Qianlin and Wei Chiran walked across the small bridge again, they saw a small bridge again, the strangest thing is that after getting on the small bridge, they turned and then they were next to another small bridge, and then the bridge was still a bridge, if it weren't for the fact that there were no puppets on the bridge, they would think they were spinning in place.
The low cave and compact building, as well as the weirdness of the surroundings, even if there is no problem with the air here, gives people a feeling of suffocation.
"Stop, don't go any further, we are indeed going in circles in place," Tang Qianlin pointed to the wall of the building next to the small bridge, "When I walked before, I deliberately used the Xia Feng Gun to carve marks here, we walked three times, and three times I found the marks on the wall." ”
Wei Chiran looked at the timer: "However, this shows that we are still some distance away from the locator. ”
Tang Qianlin looked at the timer and found that the ten locators that were originally put down were all gathered together on the screen, this discovery made the two of them feel extremely puzzled, and a little creepy, the locator would not move by itself, it was obvious that it was taken away, that is, while they put down the locator, someone followed behind them to pick it up.
Wei Chi said: "But there are only puppets on the bridge, if we go around in circles, why haven't we seen that puppet for the second, third or even fourth time?" ”
Tang Qianlin looked at the empty bridge: "There is only one possibility, and that is that the puppets here are alive." ”
"Alive?" Wei Chiran obviously didn't believe it, "That's not a zombie, there's nothing in it, just a wooden shelf, how is this possible?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "If the truth you say is true, then what else is impossible? ”
At this time, in a dark building, a person was holding a compass, but the compass in his hand was reversed, and the reversed side showed the map of the entire Soul City, on which countless light spots like ashes loomed, and next to this mysterious person, there were thirteen locators, three of which were for torture, and ten were for Wei Chiran and Tang Qianlin.
The mysterious man got up and walked to a water tank, and when he leaned over to look at the water, a face appeared on the surface of the water, and even the whites of his eyes were stuffed with dense words.
Tang Qianlin and Wei Chi returned to the restaurant in a very embarrassed manner, where the torture technique was already waiting for them, and they were studying those wooden cards. Seeing them returning, the torturer hurriedly asked, "Have you found a useful wooden card?" ”
Wei Chiran shook his head and said, "No, we got lost, and we kept spinning in place, and finally returned the same way." ”
Tang Qianlin asked, "What about you?" What's the catch? ”
"It's about the same as you," Torture said, "The wooden signs I found were all blank, there were no maps, and the most terrifying thing was that the dolls I had taken off their clothes were inexplicably dressed when I returned." ”
Wei Chiran took out the timer and looked at the screen behind him: "Look, now the locators are all gathered in one location." ”
"I've already found out, so I guess there should be a fourth person here." ”
The fourth person? Who will it be? Whether this person came down with them or not is extremely unlikely, because Zhan Tianya has already sealed off the entire South Shore cemetery above, and it is no exaggeration to say that even a fly should not want to fly in. Therefore, if this person came down from the deep well they came into, it could only be someone sent by Zhan Tianya, or Zhan Tianya himself.
When the torturer heard this, he was very dissatisfied: "Are you suspicious of Director Zhan? ”
Wei Chiran didn't speak, he didn't doubt it, because it was speculated that Tang Qianlin said it.
The reason why Tang Qianlin doubted Zhan Tianya was entirely because of what Zhan Tianya said before he came down, which made him think that Zhan Tianya had wavered about what he had done, but Tang Qianlin couldn't tell the torture about heaven and ordinary people, after all, Lao He said that that matter was only known to Lao He, Zhan Tianya, Tang Qianlin and Wei Chiran.
Seeing that Tang Qianlin didn't answer, Xingshu said again: "Since we want to cooperate, we need to trust each other. ”
"I'm just proposing a possibility, not really doubting him," Tang Qianlin said again, "In addition, there are two other possibilities, either there are other passages here, and someone came in from there, or the person who took the locator was originally in the Soul City." ”
The torturer calmed his breath and looked out of the door of the restaurant, as if someone was watching there: "I agree with the last possibility, but why is this person here?" ”
Wei Chiran said: "If the Demon Records are really here, then the purpose of building the Soul Return City is to hide the Demon Words, and this person is naturally the guardian of the Demon Words." ”
The guardian of the Book of Legends? Tang Qianlin and Xingshu looked at each other, neither of them expressed their opinions, when they were looking for the treasure in the past, they had not encountered any guardians, why did another guardian pop up here?
Tang Qianlin said: "We have been in for five hours, and the time given to us is only 72 hours, our priority now is to find a way back, if we are trapped here, in a few dozen hours, Wei Chiran and I will have to die." ”
The task suddenly changed from exploration to escape, and although Tang Qianlin's words were discouraged, at all times, saving one's life was the top priority.
But the torturer said: "Then you go and find the way, I'll keep going, no problem, right?" ”
Wei Chiran was just about to agree, Tang Qianlin said: "We are a group, we should act together." ”
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to hurry, you don't stay here for long, but I don't have any time limit, I just want to find the Devil's Tale quickly." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Then we have to look for it together, what is it if you go to find it alone?" ”
The torture technique understood the meaning of Tang Qianlin's words: "Do you think that our Ancient Science Department will swallow the Demon Records alone?" ”
Tang Qianlin competed with each other: "Although we are cooperating, aren't we also keeping the treasure we found?" Why don't you bring the Qimen, the Iron Palace, to 517? ”
Xingshu immediately retorted: "Then why don't you send the found Tomb Jane, Ten Thousand Beast Diagram, and Soul Suppression Coffin to the Department of Ancient Science?" ”
Tang Qianlin smiled: "So, in the end, we still don't trust each other. ”
The torture technique is also an urgent sub: "Then find each other, 517 is in charge of the second parallel world, and the Department of Ancient Science is in charge of the first parallel world." ”
When neither of the two of them was about to take a step back, Wei Chiran said beside him: "Both, if I say something unpleasant, you don't seem to be able to decide this kind of thing, right?" What's the use of arguing here? The decision is in the hands of Director Zhan and Lao He. ”
These words were like a basin of cold water that directly woke up the excited two, and both of them glanced at Wei Chiran and didn't say anything more. Indeed, even if the criminal arts are senior personnel of the Department of Ancient Sciences, and Tang Qianlin is the founder of 517, they are never leaders and decision-makers, and it is pointless to fight here.
Wei Chi observed the expressions of the two of them, and after making sure that they were all calm, he said: "Life is at stake, if there is a problem between me and Qianlin seniors, the mission is equivalent to half of the failure, so, I and Qianlin seniors will go to find the way out, Mr. Xing, you continue to explore here, if we find it, we will notify you by radio, if there is still enough time, we will go to you and continue to move forward, if there is not enough time, we will return, of course, please also return, after all, it is too dangerous for a person to be in this place." ”
Wei Chiran's words, although Tang Qianlin and Xingshu did not express their position, they still acquiesced. The three of them walked out of the restaurant, the torture technique was facing forward, while Wei Chiran and Tang Qianlin went to find the yamen.
Tang Qianlin walked for a while and stopped, "I always think that Zhan Tianya is very weird. ”
Wei Chiran said: "Although he is very eccentric, I don't think he is a bad person. ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Xiao Ran, if people only use simple good and bad to distinguish, it will be simple, people will change, especially after experiencing some major events. Zhan Tianya's experience is full of all kinds of uncertainties, and it will also make him uncertain about many things, and after he knows that he is also a celestial, he seems to want to accept this identity. ”
Wei Chiran asked, "How did you judge it?" ”
Tang Qianlin shook his head and said, "There is no substantial evidence, it's just my intuition. ”
