Volume XIV
Twenty-seven visions
The water in the pool kept tumbling. White bubbles bubbling out. It was as if the whole world was shaking. The jet of water that erupted from the pool grew bigger and bigger. Higher and higher. It's as if the roof of the cave is going to be broken. Then. A terrifying roar pierced the bone marrow came from everyone's ears:
"Huh."
Everyone present was shocked. Two-eyed wood stared blankly at the pool. At this moment. They forget about their contradictions with each other. Task. Benefits even. Forgetting each other's existence, everyone is waiting. Looking forward to it. At the same time there is fear but. But I can't take a step. I can't move my body. As if your body no longer belongs to you. It's as if my soul has been drained. Dumbfounded. Stand there
Suddenly. Cheng Shuai's body sank. A cold arrow rushed in front of Hou Min. Hou Min's gaze hadn't shifted back to the waterhole. Didn't have time to react. Just instinctively let go of Gu Ling. Position yourself for coping. But before it was formed, it was restrained by Cheng Shuai with one hand. His own hands are put behind his back. Can't move. A pain in his hands brought Hou Min to his senses. But the first thing she did when she came to her senses was not to look at Cheng Shuai, who was restraining herself. Or Gu Ling, who accidentally let go. It's the waterhole. I'm waiting expectantly for something to pop out of it. No. It should be an animal. That legendary. Incredible animals
Can. Time passes slowly. One minute. Two minutes slowly. The water in the pool is no longer churning. Slowly. The water column also gradually dissipated. Slowly. Everything is calm again. Seems. Nothing has been posted and nothing is waiting for what to happen. It never happened
Everyone came to their senses. Look at me. I look at you. I don't understand what all this is all about. But there's always something weird
"Give Lao Tzu a follow." Bi Chengcheng hasn't come back to his senses. Cheng Shuai suddenly pushed Hou Min, who had already been tied with an expedition rope, over." Keep an eye on her. Don't let her play any tricks on Lao Tzu."
Bi Chengcheng caught Hou Min. Looked at her. looked at Cheng Shuai, who always maintained normalcy. I didn't feel a little dazed:
"What's going on?"
Cheng Shuai glanced at Hou Min affectionately. Long sigh:
"Alas. Lao Tzu also felt that it was a pity. This woman's figure and appearance are all first-class. There's nothing to say about chasing after a girlfriend. But alas. Lao Tzu is really not interested in villains."
Bi Chengcheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Somewhat speechless." Top dog. I'm asking about this waterhole."
"Waterhole." Cheng Shuai turned his head to look at the waterhole. Instead, he asked. What's wrong with the waterhole?"
As soon as the others heard Cheng Shuai's question. I was not surprised. invariably asked him:
"You didn't see the vision."
"Vision. Hum hum hey hahaha." Cheng Shuai buried his head. Suddenly burst into a burst of laughter. Then there was an echo all around." I'm laughing to death. You weren't expecting a dragon to come out of it?"
"But. . . That 'dragon roar'"
"Do you hear an echo?"
"Ahh
Cheng Shuai shook his head. Put on a signature arrogant expression:
"I told you before I went into the cave. Along. No matter what you see. Or hear something. Don't believe it. None of that is true (at Chapter 19).As I have said before.In a hole like this.It is impossible for a loud shout to go without an echo.The roar that came from the water bomb just now.No one hears an echo.And.From the waterhole comes up so high.We can't stand so close to the waterhole without a splash of water.But did you feel the splash or the slightest hint of water vapor?"
So it's true, "People are looking at each other. While agreeing with Cheng Shuai's words. I'm even more confused." That. What the hell is going on with all this. What I just saw was also a hallucination."
"Hallucinations." Cheng Shuai frowned rarely. There was a puzzled expression on his face." Depend on. But if it's a hallucination it can't be everyone at the same time. See the same picture. Hear the same voice. Damn it. It's incredible. The sights and the sounds seemed to have happened. But it seems to have never happened, is it hypnosis. No way. It's impossible for even the 'Bird Shadow' pretending to be a pure girl. And Lao Tzu was sure that he was very sober at that time. Lao Tzu is confused"
Twenty-eight curious minds
"Whew. Oh. Woo "suddenly. When Cheng Shuai was still talking to himself. Not far away, there was a low roar of pain from Barthes.
Cheng Shuai came to his senses. When you turn your head to look. I was taken aback. I saw Liu Yibin holding the anesthetic syringe that had been injected and looking at Bart who was gradually falling asleep. Then he poked his head out and looked at Cheng Shuai in surprise:
"Mr. Cheng Shuai. I'm very sorry. I know it shouldn't be. But I've managed to get this far. I'm really not reconciled. I must see with my own eyes that the legendary creature exists."
Cheng Shuai was just about to say something. I don't feel a trembling in my heart. Turn back slowly. Bi Chengcheng, who had held Hou Min before, had been knocked unconscious by Chen Xingye. Meantime. Chen Xingye slowly helped Hou Min loosen his bonds. He buried his head. Don't face Cheng Shuai:
"Please don't get me wrong. Mr. Detective. I have nothing to do with the government doing this. This is done entirely for my own sake. I'm sorry. I'm also a curious person to apologize. I'll tell you about the real purpose of the government. Do you remember the mysterious tribe that Zhang Hailin mentioned before? According to the government's declassified archives. It may well be more than just a legend. And that tribe possesses mystical power and knowledge that everyone with ambition and desire aspires to. I believe you know the name Zhuge Liang. According to our research. In fact, he is only a remnant of some of the mysterious powers and knowledge of the tribe. For example, the ability to predict and the productivity of advanced knowledge who knows. Maybe these are just fantasies. But perhaps who knows, but some of the most powerful people in the government are somehow obsessed with this mysterious power. This expedition. It is also the source of this mysterious power. Because in the legend. The power and knowledge of the tribe comes from mythology. Dragons."
Chen Xingye's words shocked everyone present. People looked at him in disbelief. But. What surprised Cheng Shuai even more was the attitude of the players. Even Xun Qian stood on that side. And slightly held Gu Ling. Some embarrassed to say:
"I'm sorry. CHENG Shuai. I don't want to go home empty-handed."
Cheng Shuai sneered self-deprecatingly. Turned his head to look at Zhang Hailin. The purpose of the team's bizarre behavior is self-evident: "Dragon Festival"
Zhang Hailin looked at the players. I looked at Cheng Shuai again. Swallowing the saliva one by one. After a lot of guilt and struggle. But an excited expression gradually appeared on his face:
"Everyone. Place the 'sacrifice' due south and so on. Help her wash up first. An unclean 'sacrifice' is disrespectful to the dragon. Xiao Ling. Excuse me. You have to be patient. As long as you are willing to cooperate with me. Everybody listens to me. I promise you're okay. Again, the same sentence. Xiao Ling. If something happens to you. I'm willing to give you my life."
Gu Ling looked at everyone in surprise. I couldn't believe it was true. Four words come to mind repeatedly: everyone is crazy in times of despair. She put her last eyes on Cheng Shuai. And Cheng Shuai seemed to be under control. Don't dare to act rashly. Gu Ling understood. That's because Bart and Bi Chengcheng fell into the hands of the team members, and a tear quietly fell to the ground. Don't. My sister and I really. It's just a "sacrifice".
People quickly washed Gu Ling, who was already sluggish. Then follow Zhang Hailin's instructions. Place her in the designated position. Then. Zhang Hailin took out some spices with a strange fragrance from the backpack he was carrying and sprinkled them on Gu Ling's body. Afterwards. He took out a worn-out drawing from his bosom and looked at it. Then, according to the instructions on the drawing, the strange items that resemble decorations are taken out of the bag and placed in a specific place next to Xiao Ling. And then. He also used his pen to draw a few extremely strange figures around Longtan at a specific distance and position
Unconsciously. More than an hour passed. Zhang Hailin wiped his sweat. Looking up at the lifeless little spirit. Xiao Ling's already empty eyes looked at him quietly like this, and I don't know why. At that moment. He froze. Little by little, the conscience is recalled. He stood up numbly. Raise your head and look at the players with different expressions. I looked at the pen in my hand and the strange patterns I had just drawn. Instant. He was sober. Fierce. He tossed the pen aside in his hand. Then tear that drawing to shreds. The team members didn't have time to be surprised by Zhang Hailin's strange behavior. Zhang Hailin had already rushed to Xiao Ling in great strides. A handful of them took her in their arms:
"It's not what I want. Not a dragon. What an ancient cave. To hell with it. I'm a human being. You don't have to be a brute just to see one side of a brute."
At that moment. People were stunned
Can. Hou Min coldly picked up the pen that was thrown away by Zhang Hailin. A sneer appeared on his face:
"Hehehehehe. Excuse me. I don't want to give up halfway."
"You" Zhang Hailin looked at her in surprise. Immediately he regained his composure." Hum. I don't have that drawing. You can't finish the next rune."
"Huh. You're underestimating me." Hou Min smiled and shook his head. Squat down slowly. Pick up the pen and slowly complete Zhang Hailin's unfinished pattern." Do you know that there is a kind of person who is trained to never forget? Your expedition is funded by our government. You think I probably haven't seen that drawing you got?"
"Ahh Zhang Hailin grew his mouth. I was at a loss for a moment
