Chapter 162: White Footprints

When I left, I understood that the man who betrayed them would be cursed by everyone, and although he would be protected by the patriarch, one day, someone would come to reveal the truth.

That selfish humanity will also start here, just like the person in the Black Mirror, it is the end.

Everyone won't admit their faults because they do what they think is right, until they find themselves forced to follow the arrangement of fate?

There was nothing wrong with digging a dark hole, because knowing that it was impossible to get out alive, who could sit still and wait for death, so some people chose to resist at that time.

There may be some people who harbor evil intentions, but the reason for this is that they feel threatened and take measures.

And the person who poisons and kills people may not be wrong, because of faith, because he wants to protect this family mausoleum and keep the secrets here.

This is a puzzle with no answers, everyone is thinking in different ways, and in the end they all have their own answers, but who understands that we in it have long been tricked by fate and do not know the direction.

Eventually, I walked into a black hole, where there was only my flashlight, but I followed it and could think of a lot of things.

This person will definitely go back the same way and join the patriarch, but on the way back, will he find that he may also be poisoned?

There is a way that birds hide their bows with good bows, will they be wiped out like them after they go out?

Whether or not there is such an idea depends on the person's trust and understanding of the patriarch.

But what if, it's not sure? It's as if I'm not sure if this person is dead or not.

If it continues to walk out from here and does not touch the things in the clan tomb, perhaps it will find the patriarch and tell him all about it.

If the patriarch had a big heart and had no suspicion of him, he accepted his words and did not attack this only person who knew about it.

In that case, this person, he will survive, but here, he will kill, he will betray his companions, why can't he betray himself?

They've dug it here, and if they want to get in, it's a breeze, as long as he wants to!

Go back and enter the clan mausoleum, you may be able to know a lot of content, and when facing the patriarch, you will have a higher bargaining chip.

Fear and greed, the fog in people's hearts, it is difficult to guess, and this person's path has a result only after the choice.

And what is the result? The patriarch was killed, the drawings were missing, but the person who left here was never found, what was the result of him?

Li Sansi has been investigating for so long, if he can find this person, it may be far more than the current situation, but he doesn't seem to have found any news of this betrayer.

Perhaps, he died a long time ago, and after making this choice, he died, the first may have been killed by the patriarch, and the second may have died in the tomb.

It has no blueprints, and no one leads the way, so it breaks into the clan tomb like this, and it is easy to be killed by the mechanism inside.

Here, like me, it's dangerous to be alone, and I know what that means, and that kind of great darkness is so great that even if you can hold out, it's hard to discern the direction.

Even if we didn't find the body on the way here, all kinds of reasons pointed this betrayer in the same direction.

This is a road that two people have walked, and it is also a way to judge two possibilities, walking here, my heart is like a mess of ball of yarn, which is difficult to sort out.

I tried hard to reject the thoughts in my mind, but I would still stop and go, thinking that this might be a dead end, maybe the person didn't leave with it at all.

There were a lot of uncertainties in my heart, so I kept thinking about it until I suddenly stopped, because there was a fork in the road in front of me.

Two directions, one left and one right, I didn't know where to go.

After a few glances on both sides, I couldn't tell which one was the way out. In the end, I had to choose any one, maybe I should try to walk inside.

Now, I don't have any good ideas, so I can only resign myself to fate, but as soon as I took a few steps inside, I suddenly saw a flashlight shining towards me.

"Who?" I was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked the other party, but no one answered, only to see that the light was still approaching.

Seeing that the other party did not answer, I hesitated, and screamed a few more times, but still did not hear a response, so I immediately walked back, but at this time, the person answered.

"It's me?" The voice was familiar, and I knew in an instant that it was the masked man.

After hurrying over, the other party didn't have time to explain anything, so he pulled me forward, and when I came to the fork, I immediately went to another hole.

Pulled up by him, I had a question mark, but I opened my mouth to ask a few words, but the other party didn't have time to answer, and the speed continued to increase, as if something terrible was chasing after me?

There was already a big difference in our speeds, and I was afraid that I would be left behind, so I didn't have time to ask any more questions, so I ran after him.

This run lasted more than ten minutes, and when I ran to him out of breath, I immediately grabbed his arm and gasped for a while before signaling him to stop.

The other party glanced back at me, "Something is coming behind us, now is not the time to rest, if it is a moment late, I am afraid I will die." ”

I gasped as I spoke. "You...... Don't go yet, I feel like this again...... If you run down and don't get caught by the thing you said, you'll die of exhaustion on the road first. ”

The other party didn't say anything, so he had to take his steps, and took a picture of the stone wall on one side with a flashlight, and finally muttered something.

"How did you find here?!"

I rested for a while, wiped the sweat from my forehead, and relieved myself before I replied, "I was attracted by a string of white footprints before I came here, and after that, I saw the mark left by Li Sansi here again." By the way, how did you get here?! ”

He frowned and thought for a while, and repeated, "White footprints, could it be that this person has ......"

His voice stopped abruptly, and he turned back to me and said, "Li Sansi didn't come here, maybe this secret passage was discovered by someone else, so it was used again." ”

"Who is that, is it Daoist Yin's group?"

He shook his head, "It doesn't feel like it, but I can't be sure, maybe someone else has broken in here after us." ”

Hearing him say this, I didn't continue to ask, "If Li Sansi didn't come here, then who left such a mark?" ”

"It's me, I'm not sure if you'll find it here, but if you do, you'll be chasing after you, so I left these marks along the way."

Knowing this, we looked behind us again, it was quiet, as if no one was chasing after us, but we still couldn't take it lightly.

As I continued inside, I listened to the Masked Man guessing about the place, and he thought much the same thing as I did, but turned out to be more certain than I was.

He suspected that there might have been two groups of people here, one was responsible for digging the cave, and the other was responsible for exploring the grave - this was somewhat similar to Li Sansi's thinking, I don't know if it was because he had found the dead here

And the appearance of those dead is also to kill people and bury the identity of the thief.

But as a result, it was also because of such a change in identity. The other direction was determined, that is, this person successfully entered the clan tomb after successfully completing his plan, but unfortunately he did not have clear drawings, so he may have died in those coffins or tombs.

When he said this, I asked a lot of questions, but just about to ask, I hesitated, because these ideas were derived from my own guesses.

How could the other party accept my speculation if he was so sure of himself? And there are too many uncertain factors in it, if you want to tell him, it is better to think it through yourself.

I shook my head, and finally drew his possibility into the midst of many doubts, for according to what he said, there must have been the body of a thief in the tomb, but we had not seen any more on our way.

Of course, there is another possibility that this person did not go back, but followed our current route and came out of the main burial chamber, which means that this tunnel is likely to lead directly to the main burial chamber.

But what did it experience in the main burial chamber? I don't know, and there's no way to know.

Because when I asked the masked man why he didn't go back, the other party replied decisively that the stone wall could not be entered or exited.

Thinking of this, I was even more puzzled, if so, then how to explain that someone went in the first place?

I was about to ask, but he suddenly said the white footprints, and he suspected that it might be the person who went in, or maybe that this was the way the person got in.

I was in a fog by what he said, and I didn't understand what he meant for a while.

The white footprints lead us into it, but it can also be the way for the people inside to open the stone wall, remembering what they saw, and falling into deep thought for a while.

The masked man guessed that the white footprints were left by the survivor, but the footprints were only found in the cave.

Suddenly, I thought of a detail and immediately asked, "When you found those white footprints, did you notice anything unusual around you, such as ...... Sound! ”

I gave him a hint, and my eyes couldn't help but move from side to side, as if I was alert to my surroundings, afraid that something else would suddenly jump out of the darkness.

The masked man looked at me, saw my nervous expression, and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't know if that counts, but when I opened my eyes, that is, before I found those white footprints, I seemed to hear a few clapping sounds, the sound was very small, as if it came from a long distance, and when I hurriedly turned back and looked elsewhere, I saw nothing." ”

"At first, I thought it was you, but when I turned around, I found those white footprints, and immediately went to call you, and found that I was the only one left here, and you seemed to have disappeared from the voice just now."
