As soon as I had this question, I immediately looked at the bricks. I don't know if Xiao Mao thought of this, but I feel like I have to figure it out.

"Bricks." I asked next to me: "Lu Fangding organized a team to come to Ta'er Lake last time, and after you came with you, you have been trapped here, until now?" ”

"That's right." The first time Brick met me, his eyes didn't work, and he couldn't see me, but I was a friend of Xiao Mao, and Brick was polite to me: "I've been trapped here for a long time." ”

"Then the two of us found you today, I think, should you call for help first." I pretended to be joking, and said to the brick: "Why did you die as soon as you came up, but fortunately we reacted quickly, if we had reacted slowly, I would have hung up in the water by now." ”

The brick didn't speak, but I could clearly see some change in his expression. After all, he was still young, and he was trapped here without much experience, and my question seemed to stop the brick at once.

Xiao Mao was very smart, and even though I was joking, he immediately heard what I was trying to say. Xiao Mao didn't ask the bricks, he drank hot water next to him, and asked casually: "Bricks, there are no outsiders here, if there is anything, you have to tell it directly." ”

"Brother, I can't lie to anyone."

"Then tell me, what is the matter with that skeleton?"

The brick stopped talking again, fumbled and picked up the cigarette case on the ground, and coughed and coughed as he smoked. By this time, I was completely sure that there was a ghost in the brick's heart. But I don't know him well, and I can't keep asking questions.

"Bricks, what the hell is going on? What can't be said? Xiao Mao patted the brick on the shoulder and asked, "Whatever happens, you have to say it." ”

"Brother, I'm ......" Brick's expression was very embarrassed, he drooped his head, and after a while, he seemed to muster up a lot of courage and said: "If there is one, if I say it, it may be ...... Maybe you'll take me back with you...... I can't live......"

Xiao Mao and I glanced at each other, and we didn't understand what the bricks meant.

"You can't trust me?" Xiao Mao sighed and said, "As long as I have one breath left, I won't leave you alone." ”

"You know, the rules of the top master are strict...... If you can let me go, the top master won't let me go......"

"Then how long can you hide it like this?"

"Don't hide it, you have to say it horizontally and vertically." Brick also looked straight, and at this point, he raised his head, coughed twice, and said, "Tell me the truth." ”

Xiao Mao poured a little hot water on the brick again, and asked him to speak slowly, explaining the story in more detail.

Three and a half years ago, the bricks were pulled into the team by Lu Fangding. According to some situations before, the bricks have also done analysis, and I feel that if the team organized by Lu Fangding does not go to Ta'er Lake, it must also go to a place with water. His guess was right, this team really went to Ta'er Lake.

The scale of that team is beyond the imagination of bricks, there are a lot of people, and Lu Fangding probably moved all the family resources out. When they arrived at Ta'er Lake, there were more than 20 tents in the camp. However, although there are many people in the team, because of Lu Fangding's usual habit of employing people, the team members are not familiar with each other, and some are even meeting for the first time.

After arriving at Ta'er Lake, Lu Fangding was still the same as before, not revealing the specific purpose of this operation, he gathered everyone together and gave everyone a lecture. Lu Fangding's meaning, there are two in total, the first is that everyone must obey the command and don't bargain, and the second is that everyone who dares to leak out half a sentence of everything that happened here will bear the consequences.

Brick was very afraid of Lu Fangding, and after Lu Fangding lectured, Brick felt that this action was not trivial, so he was very honest and did not run back and forth.

At that time, there was no water in Ta'er Lake, which made Bricks feel a little puzzled, because when they came here a year and a half ago, there was still water in the lake, and after a year and a half, the water dried up.

Lu Fangding personally took a few people and walked around Ta'er Lake, and later, they found the gap. Then he went in through the gap and searched for a whole day.

The next day, Lu Fangding organized ten people to go to the space behind the gap. A few hours later, a person came back and conveyed Lu Fangding's order, maybe there were not enough people inside, and some more people had to be picked up. The bricks were only responsible for some chores in the team, but the man picked the bricks as well.

The brick followed a dozen people inside, and the man who came out to deliver the order led the way, so that everyone could follow his footprints and not make a mistake.

Walking all the way to a door, Brick found that the people who had come in before, including Lu Fangding, were all in front of this gate. Based on the brick description, I think they walked to the stone gate at the end of the sacrificial ground.

At that time, the stone gate was closed, and the ten people Lu Fangding brought in for the first time couldn't push open the stone door, so they could only go out again to call people, so many people worked together, and finally pushed the stone door open a crack. When the stone door was pushed open, the bricks and their group did not leave, and followed them in.

Until the stone gate was opened, all the people didn't know what the purpose of this operation was, Lu Fangding didn't say anything, and no one dared to ask. Bricks were mixed in the team, and although he didn't know the purpose of the action, he remembered everything that happened during the process.

When the men crossed the stone door, they found a huge pattern carved directly into the ground. The pattern is circular, no one can understand it, the lines and lines on it are very complex, all the lines and textures, densely packed in the circular pattern, appear mysterious and profound.

At this point, Chen Dong's speculation at the time proved to be probably correct. Three and a half years ago, the small hole had not been sealed, and the circular pattern, as well as the small hole in the center of the pattern, were all on the ground.

No one knows what this circular pattern means or what it does. The brick was clearly visible at the time, and the circular pattern had cracked, with thousands of cracks, splitting the whole pattern into countless irregular pieces.

The destination of Lu Fangding is this circular pattern, and there are small holes. The team rested beside him, and Lu Fangding circled around the crumbling pattern at least five or six times, and then, he called two people over and explained some things to them alone.

The team members have no contact with each other and don't know each other, and when they really need to cooperate, they basically replace their names with nicknames. Brick remembered that Lu Fangding called the two people who came over at that time, one was called Lao Hei and the other was called Bao Jian.

Lu Fangding talked to them for a long time, and no one could hear what was specifically said, and after he finished speaking, Lao Hei and the sword entered the small hole. Brick feels that this task should be more important, because the two people, Lao Hei and Bao Jian, are more important to Lu Fangding, and Lu Fangding will not send these two people to do those messy things.

After the two men went in, the rest rested outside. The bricks are idle, look here, wander there, sneak to the entrance of the little hole, and look inside.

He was looking hard, Lu Fangding kicked him in the back, and the brick quickly hid aside.

After Lao Hei and the sword entered the small hole, they never came back. Lu Fangding is not in a hurry, but the people below are not used to staying here, and they have nothing to do, so they all want to go back. However, no one dares to say that Lu Fangding has absolute authority in the team, and if he doesn't say anything, no one will talk nonsense.

Time passed quickly, and before you knew it, the two men had been in the small cave for seven or eight hours. It was only at this time that Lu Fangding was a little anxious, lingering outside the entrance of the small cave for a long time, and then called another person over and explained a few words. After listening to Lu Fangding's words, the man went into the small hole.

This person, the brick has a little impression, his nickname is Datou, his age is not too old, and he is very clever. Brick felt at the time that Lu Fangding let the big head enter the hole, probably to see what was going on with the two people who went in before.

After the big head went in, another seven or eight hours passed, and the person still didn't come out. The brick knows in his heart, there must not be a stable place in this small hole, otherwise, no matter whether the people inside have completed the task or not, there will always be news back.

After waiting here for almost twenty hours in a row, everyone was sleepy, and Lu Fangding asked people to take turns sleeping. Brick is the youngest, and he is the most sleepy, as soon as Lu Fangding speaks, Brick hides to the side and sleeps.

After sleeping for maybe two or three hours, Lu Fangding woke up the brick himself. He shouted the brick aside, and the brick thought he needed to run errands again.

However, Lu Fangding told him to let him go to the small cave and have a look. He said that after entering the small hole, there will be a very, very slow flow of water, and there is no danger in the water, even if you can't swim, you can go through it with a swimming ring.

After Lu Fangding let the bricks into the hole, he swam through the water, and then walked forward about thirty meters to see if Lao Hei, Bao Jian, and the big head were not there. If you don't see them, just wait there, shout, and if you wait for an hour and there is still no movement, let the bricks come back.

Brick has no experience, but he is not stupid, after Lu Fangding gave him the task, Brick's head was dizzy. Lu Fangding's meaning couldn't be more obvious, he wanted bricks to be cannon fodder.

I also secretly scolded Lu Fangding in my heart, he sent out three people one after another, and he never came back, which is enough to show that there will inevitably be unforeseen dangers behind the small hole. Lu Fangding must have known about it, so he picked a brick and went in to find out the situation. There are a lot of people in the team, most of them are people who have followed Lu Fangding for a long time, Lu Fangding has spent a lot of money and time in order to cultivate them, only bricks are late, perhaps, in Lu Fangding's mind, as long as the goal can be achieved, it doesn't matter how many people are sacrificed, especially people like bricks, it's nothing if they die.
