Volume 4, Demon Crow Demon Palace_Chapter 42, Secret Passage Bones

"What others want is not what I want, everyone pursues differently, some people want to stand above ten thousand people, I haven't even figured out a lot of mysteries about myself, where is the time to chase fame and fortune."

To be honest, I can do it in a matter of minutes, but after soaking in the water of the red pool, my clothes get wet and dry quite slowly. Squatting on the ground and wearing pants, fortunately no one else came in or else I couldn't tell.

"But if you become the director of the 507 Institute, wouldn't it be better to help you find ...... Well...... A mystery in oneself. She hesitated for a moment and then said.

I smiled and said, "The more people stand on high places, the more mundane they are, I would like to be an idle cloud and wild crane in the world, how carefree I am?" Don't talk about me, you No. 2 zero group don't want to be free? Why are you trapped in 507? Ying Long and the others were professional escapers back then, and they thought about escaping twice in three days. ”

"I'm ...... for my brother," her voice sounded slightly deep through the curtain, "My brother is seriously ill, the kind of disease that ordinary people look down on, and there was a better treatment team abroad at that time, but our family had run out of money and had no way out." The people at the 507 Institute approached me and said that if I could participate in their research project, I would be able to pay my brother's medical bills in full. Of course, they also told me about the restrictions after joining the 507 Institute. For the sake of my brother, I finally agreed......"

Many people, including Team Zero, are actually poor people. The flower girl of the year, iron bones, snakes, and dragons...... Today's golden foxes are like this.

The poor man is desperate, and for this reason, I never felt that there was anything wrong with 507. Give them the power to solve their worries, join voluntarily or leave voluntarily, and definitely limit their freedom when they have great power. With a temper like Ying Long and the current Golden Fox, who has no one in their eyes, it is very likely that they will go down the evil path.

"Then when your brother recovers from his injury, have you considered becoming an ordinary person?" I asked.

"Having already embarked on this path, I never thought about turning back. When my younger brother recovers from his illness, I will let 507 continue to provide him with education, go to the best university, and then become a rich man with a stable and prosperous life. In this way, he and his parents can live a good life. But for them to have a good life, I need to do enough for 507 to prove that I have good worth. Otherwise, once I was kicked out of the zero second group and became a member of the group below, I would be back to the original form. ”

In fact, I heard Shi Bing and Hua Niu say in the past that those of them who once participated in research projects and were finally relegated to the group because of their little research value are treated very differently. The difference in wages alone is five or six times the bonus, and the 507 Institute also made it clear that resources should be better used for valuable people.

"You're hard enough, but I don't think your parents would want you to do that." I spoke.

"It's not that my parents don't understand, we're used to living a hard life. When I was a child, the little girl in the next door was sold because her family was poor, and for those of us, money is more important than anything else...... Okay, my clothes are dry, you turn your back, I'm going to change my clothes. "She ended the conversation between us.

After getting dressed, although it was baked dry, it seemed that there was still a faint smell of blood, which was not very good.

"Keep going, though I don't know where we're going down there." I took the lead through the stone gate in front, but the moment the two of us walked through the stone gate, the road behind me was again blocked by huge stones.

"How can I feel like I'm fighting Contra, I can only move forward and can't turn back......" I muttered, this is not what I am most afraid of, what I am most afraid of is that the traces of the two of us have been exposed, so someone is manipulating the maze to constantly cause trouble for us and block our retreat.

After walking for about ten minutes, I said, "I don't think this road is straight." ”

"What do you mean?"

"I noticed as I walked, and although the arc was small, we were really going in circles. That is, we are not walking in a straight line, but in turns, and the road is angled, that is, inclined upwards. It looks like we're not going underground, we're going toward the ground. ”

"According to you, the end of the road might go back to the second basement of the Raven Ridge Castle instead of the second underground level that leads to the Raven Ridge Fort?"

"That's what it means, let's walk and see, be careful not to touch it." I gave a word of advice, and then quickened my pace, and walked for another five or six minutes. At the end of the road, a huge stone gate blocked our way, and when we walked up and looked around, we found no other forks, and the walls were level, with no protruding or obvious mechanisms.

"How is the road blocked? Did you find the mechanism? The golden fox had a precedent for the four demon statues, and he didn't dare to touch them at the moment, but stood aside more obediently and asked in a low voice.

I shook my head and said, "I don't see it, I'll look for it again, you go back." ”

Motioning for the golden fox to step back, I pressed my hand against the wall, and if the wall was completely sealed and there was no mechanism, I would open the wall with air. Breath poured from the palm of his hand into the wall, moving back and forth around him. The wall is like a lake, and my qi is like a swimming fish, and after turning around, I really didn't find any triggering mechanism, are we really turning into a dead end?

But at this moment, the foot of the golden fox standing behind me suddenly made a "click" sound, and when I heard the movement, I suddenly turned around and asked, "Where did you move?" ”

"I ...... I didn't. The golden fox shook her head at me and said, but before she could finish speaking, a crack suddenly opened in the ground beneath her feet, and her body fell all at once.

"Golden Fox!" I shouted in surprise as I rushed forward, looking down only to hear her voice coming from, "I'm fine." It's not very deep down there. ”

Looking down, there was a dim passage below the ground that suddenly opened, but it was only about two meters away, and the golden fox that fell down was not even injured.

"What's next? I'll pull you up. I looked down and said, but she said, "Wait a minute, I seem to see something, do you want to come down and take a look?" ”

She seemed to have noticed something, and I saw that the hole was not very deep, so I jumped boldly from this hole, and when I landed, I looked up and saw that there was actually another passage, hidden at our feet, and passing ahead. And unlike the road above, there were a lot of dry bones scattered in this passage, and when I shone it with flames, I could even see blood stains that had dried up for a long time.

"There are less than a dozen dead people here, but I can see a dozen or so of them in the skull." The golden fox nodded at the number of bones by the light of the fire, and then spoke in surprise.

"You also look for any tokens that can confirm the identity of these corpses." The two of us searched separately, I picked up a bone and lit the flame and handed it to the golden fox, and I rushed to the other side to look for it, but I didn't expect to find something in this search!

After walking a few steps, something lit up in the bones under the light of the fire, and the golden light flickered in my eyes, and I walked over and squatted down to pick up the bones around me, and a sign with a golden light appeared in my eyes.

This sign is about half the size of a palm, with a brass base, probably because of its age, so the pattern on it has been obscured by rust and cannot be seen clearly. It looks like a flying crane, and I seem to have an impression of this bronze medal. At this time, I heard the golden fox behind me shouting, "There is something here." ”

I hurried over with the sign and saw her hold up three different tokens and place them in front of me. With the addition of the one I just picked up, this means that there are four tokens of different shapes. These tokens represent a sect, and the person who holds these tokens is not surprisingly a disciple of this sect.

"Four tokens, disciples of four sects, a total of more than a dozen corpses all died in this passage. Why? I was puzzled by this sudden discovery, and at this time, the golden fox pointed to the bronze medal in my hand and shouted, "Isn't the identity token of the Maoshan disciple in your hand?" ”

When she said that, I immediately remembered!
