The trail was unusually quiet, and the width could only accommodate one person, and if there was any danger ahead, I couldn't even escape. Xie Xiaoqin took the same flashlight as Xie Fu to illuminate the back after she came down, she didn't mean to speak, and I didn't speak because I didn't know what would happen next, and where this road could lead.

It's not so much a trail as a cave that has been artificially dug. The height was just above my head, and there were a few times when I even had to walk with my head down, otherwise it would collide with the top. The sound of a single footstep echoed in the space without rhythm, and I inexplicably felt a sense of suffocation, and I found that this suffocation feeling was related to the space, which may be the reason for the thin air under the siege, and even Xie Xiaoqin was panting after walking.

Suddenly, I heard her say, "Wait a minute." ”

I turned around just in time to see her put Gu Xi off her shoulder, her eyes staring, thinking that if he knew that he was being carried around like a sandbag, he would probably be furious.

Xie Xiaoqin was calming her breath, she had a strange look on her face, and muttered, "What's the matter?" I wouldn't have been so bored when I came in before. The corners of my mouth twitched, but I didn't speak.

Actually, I probably know what's going on, this passage leads into the besieged city, and the air circulation was naturally unobstructed before, but now that the trapped dragon formation area under the school has been destroyed, it is likely that the air has been blocked. And the sliding door when we came in was closed by Xie Xiaoqin, so naturally the air here was thin.

After resting for a while, Xie Xiaoqin used a flashlight to look forward, and then said, "Let's go, there is not much way left." The third time she used her back to pull Gu Xi on her back, it was really hard for her to carry such a tall person at such a small size. It didn't take long to walk, and soon I saw that the road was at the end of the road, and I subconsciously looked up. I looked at it for a while, but I didn't even notice that there was a crack on the top or something.

Xie Xiaoqin drank softly behind him: "Get out of the way." I turned sideways and let her go to the front.

It was because I thought it was too complicated, thinking that there was some mechanism or something like this, but I saw Xie Xiaoqin kick the wall at the end of the two feet hard, and then the "wall" fell to the ground like a piece of paper, making a lot of noise.

My gaze wandered out uncontrollably, and the other side of the "wall" that had just been torn down seemed huge compared to the narrowness of this place. But my attention fell on my hearing, and there was a sound in the space that could not be ignored, like ...... There is water backflowing. Following Xie Xiaoqin into that side, the light and the place where it shines can be seen that there is a black pipe converging to the center from all sides on the top, as for the material of the black pipe, I don't have the heart to think about it, because I almost immediately understood where this place was.

Staring at the mottled top wall, it's hard to imagine... We were standing directly below the altar. If the mottled center is compared to a monster, the four black pipes are like its tentacles. In an instant, I realized what the sound of water regurgitation was, and I smelled the faint smell of blood in the air...... That's blood flowing.

The panic in my heart for no reason, and my hands and feet began to feel cold. It's not that I'm scared of this place, but Xie Xiaoqin said she wanted to come in and see the other doors, but she brought us here.

It was impossible to be so forgetful that she could even forget what she had just said, and she said that if I played tricks, I would use Guxi to sacrifice the stone plate.

When I saw her carrying Gu Xi to the middle, I couldn't calm down anymore, and asked urgently, "What are you going to do?" ”

Xie Xiaoqin didn't look back, only sneered lowly, which sent chills down my spine. When she put Gu Xi down, I saw that there was an extra black pipe in her hand that resembled the one on top. I couldn't think of what such a short tube was for, but a glimpse of the sharpening of the two ends led to another article. Sure enough, in the next second, she actually stretched the tube, and when it reached a certain length, my face began to turn pale, and my eyes turned between the top and the ground, and the two ends were sharpened...... She's not going to stick that tube into the very center of that top, is she?

As I expected, this place is the bottom of the stone plate, and the center of the four pipes is the middle of the sand table. So if she inserts the tube into the center like this, will she move the balance in the middle? Not long ago, after the sand table was broken up by Xie Fu, he said that if the sand table was destroyed, the entire underground siege would be destroyed. Gu Xi also told that the stone plate and the sand table are one, and a balance is needed between them to maintain, and the tool to maintain this balance is human blood, and it must also be living blood, and the vitality of human beings is used to promote its balance at the bottom.

"You can't ......" Before I finished speaking, I heard a pop, and Xie Xiaoqin had already inserted the tube into the center without hesitation. For a moment, my heart was still. But after a moment of silence, nothing unusual happened, her heart rate had just recovered, but her face changed drastically in the next second, and she rushed over and grabbed her arm and asked angrily, "What are you going to do?" ”

Xie Xiaoqin looked back at me, sneered and said, "Do you think you can stop me?" ”

My whole body froze, and my voice trembled: "Didn't you say that as long as I went with you to look at the other doors to find out the secret in the painting, I wouldn't leave him alone?" ”

Xie Xiaoqin's reaction was to push me away, and there was finally ruthlessness in her cold eyes, she said: "If you don't control him here, will you be honest?" What's more, I can't keep someone like this around all the time as a threat. ”

As soon as the words fell, a fierce light flashed from her eyes, and the hand holding the tube pulled Gu Xi's wrist and was about to insert it!

I bit the root of my teeth, and my body reacted instinctively before my brain, but just as my hand was about to touch Xie Xiaoqin, my whole body froze.

I'm afraid the person who is more shocked than me is Xie Xiaoqin.

She looked at her wrist in a daze, and the black tube was inserted silently, blood dripping down. She couldn't figure out why the person who had passed out and was carried all the way by her actually moved when she was about to be intubated and put in her pulse.

Yes, Gu Xi moved, not only moved, but also defeated the enemy with one move, and the situation was reversed.

There was a smile on the corner of Gu Xi's mouth, this smile I had seen before, it represented the decision to kill. However, at this time, I was not worried that he would kill Xie Xiaoqin, because he said that the blood to be introduced into the sacrificial plate must be living blood, which contains human vitality.

Xie Xiaoqin took a long time to come to his senses, but as if he didn't feel a pain in his wrist, he only stared at Gu Xi and asked, "How can you be fine?" Gu Xi didn't look at her, his eyes turned to the hand that I was still stretching out in the air and forgot to retract, smiled and said, "The play is too much." Xie Xiaoqin's whole body trembled, and she turned her head to look at me in disbelief, with a hellish look: "You know? ”

I...... Yes, but not for sure.

It's not that I have any special skills, but I don't know much about Gu Xi's temperament. With his temperament, it is impossible to use the kind of disposable toiletries equipped in Xie Xiaoqin's hotel, this is one of them; Second, after just experiencing a catastrophe, no matter how tired Gu Xi was, it was impossible for him to take a bath and sleep unsuspectingly.

I realized these two points when I got back to the hotel, and immediately thought of what Gu Xi had said before I left, standing by the window and watching the people running downstairs. He asked: How many of them did you say were masked?

In fact, at that time, he was already suspecting that in addition to Xie Fu's father and son and Lao Xie Tou, there were probably people in this town who knew the secret of the underground siege. This inference was later confirmed when Xie Xiaoqin suddenly attacked me, and then I thought, how could Gu Xi's ability be so easy to be put down by her? Just those so-called incense sticks?

Gu Xi is not a person who is easily swayed, even if I believed in Xie Xiaoqin before that, he would not let down his guard against anyone. Not to mention the town of this root of all evil! When Xie Xiaoqin threw Gu Xi from the top of the hotel, the moment he fell on me, I clearly noticed the contraction of his body texture, so the weight on my body would not be as heavy as I imagined. It's just that I'm not sure how much he has Xie Xiaoqin's fascination, because I think if I want to win the trust of others, I will hide the truth in some way.

Along the way, I was nervous and anxious, but not too frightened. Knowing that since Gu Xi dared to take such a risk, he would definitely have a time to fight back, so I have been waiting. But when I saw Xie Xiaoqin just now about to insert a black pipe into his wrist, I couldn't calm down anymore, and I was not sure, and I even felt inexplicably frightened, afraid that it was all my self-righteous speculation before, but the truth was diametrically opposite.

It was not until this moment that the heart that was so tense that it was about to burst finally recovered, and it also retracted its hand in a daze. The fact that he was so agile and in the mood to tease me was enough to prove that I was right in my assumptions about him.

Moreover, his dark eyes were shining, and he didn't look like he was powerless after half a cent of the incense, and it was really difficult for Xie Xiaoqin to spend so much effort.

Xie Xiaoqin turned into annoyance and anger: "It's useless for you to arrest me!" Only I know how to open the passage......"

"Who said that?" Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Gu Xi, and a faint and ruthless voice resounded in the air: "Two mechanisms, respectively located in the upper left corner of the stone gate, eighteen centimeters downward, and the inner corner of the left side of the first step. ”

Just look at Xie Xiaoqin's shocked expression to know that he was right, and when he looked back, he immediately understood. When Xie Xiaoqin went to open the secret door in front of the stone gate, he deliberately blocked my vision and prevented me from seeing how to open the mechanism, but he ignored Gu Xi's position, which happened to be within his perspective; As for the mechanism to close the slate in the back, there is no need to think about it, she is carrying Gu Xi by herself, so naturally she can't escape his eyes.

I even felt that Gu Xi had been suspicious of her from the beginning, and this trick was called the real lure of the snake out of the hole.

When Xie Xiaoqin learned that the school had collapsed, she must have guessed that the Xie family's father and son were likely to be more auspicious, and she could no longer calmly stand still. And she was also afraid that we would leave, so she did not hesitate to tear her face and take off the mask of innocence and return to her true nature.

The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, but the cicada in the urn that Xie Xiaoqin thinks is actually the yellow finch that snipes the mantis.

Alas, I sighed lightly in my heart, the fault was not that she underestimated the enemy, but that her opponent was Gu Xi.
