None of us understood where she was starting with this, but I felt a chill hit my whole body, and it seemed that Lin Su's despair had really been transmitted to my heart.

"Lin Su, what have you been through?" Kong Xian asked.

I blamed him in my heart for asking too early, at least until Lin Su's mind was completely calm, and it was too cruel to force her to recall the previous events now.

Unexpectedly, Lin Su wiped his tears, sat up from my arms, and replied seriously: "Now I can't explain it clearly, my thinking has been intermittent, and I can't figure it out myself at present." ”

Kong Xian asked again: "Then why did you just say that no one can go out here?" ”

Speaking of this, Lin Su's eyes became very frightened, and she replied in a trembling voice: "There are people who have cast a spell here, and there is no way for the dead or the living to get out of here, so they can only continue to wander underground forever." ”

Liu Yang didn't believe in evil, and said loudly with half courage and half anger: "Lao Tzu really doesn't believe that he can't get out, even if there are thousands of evil ghosts, Lao Tzu will kill it cleanly." ”

When he said this, I immediately remembered the scene where he knelt down in front of the corpse, and I couldn't help but want to laugh.

"What about Mo Zhanchen? How is he? Kong Xian then asked.

Lin Su seemed to think for a long time and replied, "He may be dead." Her expression took on an unprecedented sense of dread, explaining, "We broke into a field of corpses, where there were a lot of rotting bones, but not a single pine nut. As soon as we got there, we felt that there was a problem, but there was no way out, so we continued to move forward with a bit of luck. We didn't go far before something really happened, starting with the sudden disappearance of Rossen, and then the other surviving villager we picked up on the road also disappeared into thin air. I was very scared at the time, so I held Mo Yanchen's arm and didn't let go. ”

I asked, "When we fell, there was only this one headlamp, in my hand." How do you get lighting? ”

"Do you remember the bone pit we saw when we fell?" Lin Su asked rhetorically: "They are right when they say that those lights are some things secreted by fire pine nuts. After you left, Mo Yanchen found a lighter from his bag, which he barely used for lighting. Immediately afterward, we took advantage of the geographical advantage and killed three fire pine nuts, took some glowing substances from their bellies, and then made two portable lanterns out of the silk stockings I wore. It wasn't bright enough, but it worked, and then on the way, we kept collecting the luminous material to make the lantern brighter. ”

I nodded, genuinely admiring human intelligence.

"In the end, did Mo Zhanchen disappear too?" Kong Xian asked.

Lin Su shook his head and replied, "Mo Ranchen didn't disappear out of thin air, he was always by my side until ......"

Lin Su paused, and Liu Yang asked a little anxiously: "Until what?" ”

"Until there were a lot of dead people around us, and they told us that there was no way for anyone to get out here, not even the dead people." Lin Su said.

I glanced at Kong Xian, Kong Xian's expression was very complicated, and he asked with some confusion: "Do you really see those who have died?" ”

Lin Su nodded and said affirmatively: "I really saw it, Xiangzi and the village chief are here." Their wounds were still bleeding, but they didn't look like they were hurt, and they talked to us like normal people. ”

I was even more puzzled by this, Kong Xian couldn't think of the reason inside, and Liu Yang couldn't figure it out.

"How did Mo Zhanchen disappear?" Kong Xian asked again.

Lin Su said: "The situation was so urgent at that time that my mind was in a state of confusion for a while. I only remember that those dead people gradually surrounded us, and our attention was all on them, but suddenly a pair of black hands reached out from the bones on the ground and grabbed my ankles, and Mo Yanchen pulled me desperately, but it was useless. At this moment, I saw a pair of big black hands suddenly appear from behind, grabbing Mo Ranchen's neck tightly. He was forced to let go of his grip on me, and I was unconscious. ”

"How is your experience so fantastical?" Liu Yang pouted and asked incredulously.

Lin Su let out a wry smile and replied: "Don't believe it, if it was before, I wouldn't believe it, but I really saw it with my own eyes, there are really ghosts down here, really!" ”

I patted her on the back, which was a little comforting, and said firmly, "We can definitely get out, no matter how capable they are, we are the masters of our own lives." ”

Kong Xian and Liu Yang also nodded in agreement.

Although we all wondered who sent the note back to us, after listening to Lin Su's words. Our biggest goal now is to get out, and no matter how many secrets there are in this underground, it has nothing to do with us.

At that moment, our headlamps suddenly flickered twice, and it seemed to be about to go out. I couldn't say it in my heart, so I quickly put my hand in my pocket and grabbed the night pearl. Just wait for the headlight to go out and quickly take it out.

Liu Yang and Lin Su panicked and asked nervously: "What should I do, the lights are going out!" ”

There are no fire pine nuts here, and it is impossible for us to use Lin Su's previous method to make lanterns, so we immediately decided not to count on the headlamp, and simply took out the night pearl and explained it to them again.

But just as I was about to take it out, I inadvertently glanced at Kong Xian's expression, calm and silent, which is an emotion that should not appear at this time, unless he has an adequate strategy to deal with it like me. I was a little curious, so I silently stuffed the Night Pearl back into my pocket.

The headlamp soon lost its light completely, and the darkness drowned us like a tide, Liu Yang and Lin Su made a mess of porridge, screams and desperate language were endless. In the dark, no one knows the bottom of their hearts, I don't know if anything will happen, the whole atmosphere is weird and abnormal, I resisted the urge to take out the night pearl, sat silently, and all my attention was focused on the direction where Kong Xian was.

I don't know how long it has been, Liu Yang and Lin Su have gone from being frightened at the beginning to discussing strategies slightly calmly now. I didn't hear any sound from Kong Xian, and I even suspected that he was still there.

"Mu You, when are you going to wait, huh?"

Kong Xian's murmuring sound sounded in my ears like a thunderbolt, and my whole body almost bounced, but I was held in his arms. I felt his breath steady, as if he had anticipated my reaction. His hand ran down my arm, into my pocket, and pulled the Night Pearl out.

I was completely stunned, not knowing how to react.

Kong Xian let go of the hand that circled me, and when the Night Pearl was released from the wrapped cloth to illuminate a large space, he had already returned to the position where he had sat before, as if nothing had happened.

Lin Su and Liu Yang were surprised and curious as they surrounded the Night Pearl in Kong Xian's hand, their faces full of expressions of hope. But I felt a chill all over my body, and a question kept swirling in my mind: how did he find my place so accurately in the dark? Even accurate enough to say that sentence in my ear!

I remembered what Lin Su said before, she saw those who were already dead, alive as if they were not dead. Could it be that Kong Xian was already dead when he fell into the cliff? What he said was just a lie to cover up his own death.

Kong Xian saw that I was stunned, showed a weird smile at me, and asked, "Surprised?" ”

I didn't say a word, I just looked at him.

Liu Yang and Lin Su were stunned, they kept asking Kong Xian why there was such a thing. I asked for a long time, but I didn't get an answer. Only now did they perceive the problem.

Liu Yang's face was full of doubts, and he asked cautiously: "Master Jin, what's wrong with the two of you, what's the situation?" You won't have a problem with this bead. After Liu Yang asked, Lin Su seemed to be scared a lot, and she shrank back vigorously, wanting to stay away from us.

"How do you know I have the Night Pearl in my pocket?" I asked Kong Xian coldly.

Still smiling, he looked at me like a cheetah looking at his prey, and he replied by the words I had lectured him before: "How many roundworms do you have in your stomach, do you think I don't know?" ”

"Huh? Brother. Liu Yang asked me: "It turns out that this night pearl is yours?" Where are you from? ”

I was speechless for a while, and I didn't know where to throw the explanation I had thought of before, so I stammered, "I...... I picked it up. ”

Liu Yang snorted and scolded: "What kind of thing did you pick up, why the hell do you stumble like stealing?" ”

I'm really a thief, and now I don't even have the courage to refute, so let him scold him, as long as I don't have to answer where I came from, it's easy to do anything, I want to tell them that they were smashed out of the stone statues, and maybe they will have to go back to the bullfrog pond one by one.

Lin Su liked it tightly, held it in his hand and looked left and right, and asked me with a serious face: "Can you give it to me when you go out?" ”

I smiled and nodded, and said in my heart: When I go out, don't say that I will send you this night pearl, and I am willing to send Kong Xian and Mo Ranchen to you together, if you don't think it's enough, I will send you a Liu Yang as a flower messenger.

"Huh?" Lin Su suddenly showed a surprised expression, pointed to the lines in the night pearl and said, "I've seen this pattern." ”

"Where?" The three of us asked in unison.

She recalled for a moment and said, "On a corpse, the pattern seems to have a meaning, called 'envoy'. There was a Shi Ding who wrote something about the duties of the envoy, and according to my understanding, it may be the internal name of the undercover agent. ”

"Undercover?" Kong Xian muttered thoughtfully.

After a while, he suddenly asked Lin Su with some excitement: "Is the place you went to a secret gathering place for envoys?" ”

Lin Su nodded and replied, "Most likely, I saw a lot of duties and orders about the historian there, but that place has now been occupied by Huo Songzi. ”

"Do you remember what those duties and orders say?" Kong Xian asked.

Lin Su thought for a while and said, "It's not that I don't remember, but I don't fully understand it." Those words are not just as simple as ancient sayings, and seem to have gone through some encryption processes, such as adding a 'qing' in the middle of each sentence above, the position of this word is not fixed, and it has no meaning to belong to it, but if you strip it out, the whole sentence will become a meaningless sentence like 'what did you eat today'. ”

"Tell me about the part you barely understand." Kong Xian said.
