Chapter 237: Crossing the River
It's just that Long Zheng also sensed that something was wrong.
In this sudden sea area, there are octopuses beyond the world's cognition.
It was very natural for Long Zheng to think of the footsteps he had heard in the dark forest before, and the voice of the witch he heard on the hills.
Silently close your eyes, and when you open them again.
Long Zheng's eyes had become golden and bright like stars.
The ocean around him disappeared in an instant.
What huge octopus, what iron frame, what seaweed, there is no trace.
All that was left was the cold, deep rocks, stone walls, old and rusty iron bars, and the darkness that could not be dispelled as far as the eye could see.
Tick, tick.
There are drops of water slowly dripping to the ground.
Long Zheng recalled the picture just now, and couldn't help but shudder.
It's weird.
Even if you know that all this is just a picture formed by the little boy's fantasy, but the reality of everything is simply amazing.
Lowered his head and looked at the note in his hand.
The two obvious runes had dimmed to the point of almost blurring.
Long Zheng finished reading the contents and took a deep breath.
Sure enough, it's a story about the sea, an octopus, and the like.
And there are some key points mentioned in it, and Long Zheng will successfully read and comprehend them.
It seems that the boy's father was working on some patented invention, but he didn't succeed once, and the boy's mother objected, so he had to move the instrument to the depths of the mine for testing, and the boy wrote it as a fantasy story.
It seems that it is time to get out of the mine.
There are no more superfluous clues to look for here.
I recalled the place where the little boy went when his father asked the little boy to leave.
Long Zheng went directly to the lowest end of the tunnel, and saw a pool of water that looked very hot, and the smoke that steamed up was constantly filling.
However, it feels like there is not a little bit of heat.
Without saying a word, without hesitation, Long Zheng jumped in, and sure enough, without a trace of hot feeling, Long Zheng successfully passed through this pool and left the mine.
Leaving the mine, there is a valley under the dam.
Not far away, there is a mercury room.
Farther away, there is a barn.
Long Zheng used his energy to dry the wet clothes on his body, and then came directly to the mercury room, but saw the door of the mercury room, and a lock locked the mercury room.
After pondering for a moment, Long Zheng said: "This lock seems to have been around for a long time, and the little boy didn't know if he came to this mercury room at that time. ”
Chixiao said: "Why don't you go to the barn first, I always think that if the little boy sees that this place is locked, he will go directly to the barn in the distance." ”
Long Zheng also agreed, so he flew directly to the barn.
When I entered the barn, I found something wrong at the door.
There is a groove here, which is supposed to be used to put the axe, and at this moment, there is only a groove in the shape of an axe, and the axe is not seen here.
Long Zheng directly used the means of inferring the past to check the location of the axe.
In front of me, a murder scene immediately emerged.
Dissipating the ability, Long Zheng said: "It's on the second floor." ”
Ran to the second floor, only to find that the door had been smashed.
"According to the strength of this world, it can't be broken by a person with a palm or fist, it should be something used. I don't know what it shattered. Long Zheng touched his chin and analyzed.
Chixiao nodded and said, "I don't know if it's smashed from the inside or from the outside." But it doesn't matter, let's go and see the murder scene you are talking about. ”
Long Zheng nodded and walked in.
Sure enough, it was just as Long Zheng had deduced what he had seen in the past.
The boy's father lay in a pool of blood, lifeless for a long time, but there was no sign of a struggle from the corpse alone, except for a wound in his throat. It seems to have bled to death.
The missing axe below was next to the boy's father.
In this room, there was also a table, right next to the corpse.
Long Zheng checked the table next to the corpse, and the stationery cylinder on it seemed to have been hit by someone in a hurry, and the utensils inside fell out, obviously, as if someone was rummaging through it.
Using the ability to extrapolate the past, Long Zheng sensed that it was a pair of scissors, and a picture appeared in his eyes, showing the position of the scissors, which seemed to be placed on top of a coil, and the surrounding scene looked like an elevator?
Long Zheng walked out of the barn and looked in the direction he had just sensed, and there was indeed an elevated elevator connecting the residential area on the cliff and the valley below.
For clues, Long Zheng flew over to find the scissors, returned to the barn, put the scissors back in the stationery tube, picked up the axe, and put it back in the groove on the first floor.
After doing all this, Long Zheng used the ability to deduce the past.
In the picture, there are some unexpected things.
After watching all this, Long Zheng dissipated his ability, rubbed his eyes, and muttered: "How is it possible, if the body at the previous track location is indeed the little boy's uncle, then how can the little boy's uncle still appear in the picture?" Could it be that this is the chronological order that happened first? That's impossible. That's ...... Spirit-informed? ”
There's nothing wrong with that.
In the past picture, the little boy's uncle appeared again.
The uncle of the little boy who had died on the railroad tracks.
The boy's father wants to kill the boy's uncle, protect Ethan, and sabotage the Sandman's plans. In fact, the Sandman has chosen the little boy's mother and his uncle as carriers, and they will kill all obstacles that interfere with his wakefulness plans.
The boy's father finally committed suicide with scissors to say that he would not be controlled by the Sandman, and the boy's uncle watched all this in cold blood.
The key to the matter is in the mercury room of water.
In the picture seen in the past, the little boy's uncle finally found the little boy hiding in the mercury room.
Long Zheng came directly to the mercury room and kicked the door with one kick.
That old iron lock didn't work at all......
After entering the mercury room, Long Zheng searched left and right, but did not find any substantive clues.
"There must be something." Long Zheng muttered.
Chi Xiao said: "It seems that there are really no clues, the only thing that can be used here is the steering wheel-like thing, which can turn off the mercury in the middle." Let's go. ”
Long Zheng was stunned for a moment, but he directly stepped forward and twisted the 'steering wheel'.
Then, Long Zheng returned to the river, and walked along the riverbank, all the way, and found that the annoying rumbling sound of the mercury had stopped, and there were stairs above the gap in the embankment in front of the barn, so that for mortals, they could cross the river smoothly while the current was weakening.
After thinking about it for a while, Long Zheng understood the usefulness of this place.
"We're not mortal at all, so that's how the little boy escaped?"
"Chances are, let's go over and have a look."
After crossing the river, Long Zheng involuntarily ran forward, feeling that someone was calling him.
Long Zheng clearly knew that he was very close to the little boy.
The little boy knew that Long Zheng was here, and he also knew that Long Zheng would come. But again, the Sandman must know this.
