Chapter 161

Ebony and Lydia easily bypassed the patrol network formed by the corpse puppets, and the earth and stone house that the archaeological team chose as a base was still a house very close to the outskirts of the Loulan ruins, so the distance that needed to be broken through was actually not far.
However, in order to prevent the "necromancer" from detecting the instruments or abilities of electronic instruments, Wu Muhe told Old Man Han Duwei and Associate Professor Hao Ren in advance to temporarily turn off the instruments they were carrying, and personally took them out and transported them to another house to hide them.
And Lydia didn't rush to charge and activate her mobile phone near the base built by the archaeological team, so when she hid the archaeological team's instruments, she also went around to the other end of the Loulan ruins, and then plugged her mobile phone into the solar charging device.
"How's it going, is it on?" After hiding the archaeological team's instruments, Ebony sneaked around the quicksand network and the corpse puppet patrol to infiltrate Lydia.
"It's almost okay, you watch around, I'll see if I can contact my superiors." Lydia looked at the phone that turned on automatically because it was charged enough, and there was a hint of nervousness on her face.
Ebony nodded, holding the lancet in his hand, and the senselessness strengthened by the lack of acquaintance was like a radar to take in everything around him.
After a pleasant boot sound, a brand logo appeared on the screen of Lydia's mobile phone, and then slowly turned on. Lydia tapped the back of her phone impatiently, looking at the desktop background on the screen and the empty signal, and was immediately deflated.
"Boss Wu, it's still not good," Lydia sighed, "Obviously, my mobile phone has been specially equipped with a chip that can be directly connected to the communication satellite for this mission, so as to ensure that the signal is always full?" Why can't I get in touch now? ”
Ebony grinned and said, "Don't talk about that, show me the pictures of your teammates first." ”
"Oh, yes, that's the main purpose, contact or something, it's only a secondary purpose, it seems that you understand early on that we may not be able to contact the outside." Lydia looked at Ebony's calm demeanor, smiled, and rummaged through the photos on her phone.
"......" nonsense, if you can contact the outside world, it means that you are the great fortune star of the archaeological team, then their luck will definitely be directly rejected by Ji Tailai and turned into a dragon shape again, instead of just a little excitement now, which can make me see clearly.
"Yo, this is a group photo we took before we left here." Lydia skimmed through a bunch of photos of the scenery taken on the plane and along the desert, found one, enlarged it, and handed her phone to Ebony.
"The ratio of men and women is unbalanced, why are you the only girl?" Ebony saw the photo, first politely and casually expressed his opinion, and then carefully looked at the faces of several team members.
"No way, the desert terrain is dry and hot, and it hurts the skin, so no girl wants to come." Lydia shrugged her shoulders and said.
Ebony raised his head, glanced at Lydia's skin that couldn't cover her skin even if she was muddy, and her skin was so white and tender that it seemed like she was about to pinch out water, and she didn't know what to say for a while, she looked down at the photos on her phone, and then asked, "Then why did you choose to come here to carry out a mission in the desert?" ”
"......," Lydia silently played with her ponytail.
"You know, right," Ebony reacted suddenly, "You know who this person who is manipulating the corpse puppet is, and you know early on that this manipulator is hiding here, so taking on the task of chasing down these fleeing mercenaries is just a cover for you to find this manipulator's bad luck!" ”
"No, or rather, the pursuit of these fugitive mercenaries is actually the superficial mission of your squad, and the real mission is to hunt down this manipulator, and," Ebony thought for a moment and added, "You have a personal vendetta against him, that's why you chose to join the mission, am I right?" ”
"That's half right," Lydia glanced at Ebony in surprise, she didn't expect such a strong man to have such a delicate mind and reasoning ability, "My teammates are here to hunt down those fleeing terrorists, but I actually came to connect with the undercover agent sent by our organization, but I didn't expect him to become like this." ”
"Wait a minute, you're saying that this manipulator turned out to be an undercover agent of your Interpol?" Ebony felt that the matter was about to be revealed.
Lydia nodded and said, "This, uh, the manipulator you call is the undercover agent we sent out to infiltrate this group of terrorist mercenaries, of course, it would be more appropriate to use a former undercover agent, but now he has completely reversed, not only killed all the terrorists, but also killed all my teammates." ”
"No, if he is so capable, why didn't he kill you?" Ebony asked.
"Because he didn't get so much power on his own, he couldn't use it at the beginning, so I was able to escape under the cover of my teammates." Lydia, who once again mentioned the sad thing, was a little depressed, but it was clear that she was strong and showed no signs of slumping.
Ebony touched his beard, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "In other words, what did this manipulator rely on to obtain the ability to arrange quicksand and manipulate corpses, he is not really a wizard in your mouth, nor is he a human-level deathmatch master I guess?" ”
Lydia, whose lie was exposed, coughed a little embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, I can't tell everything to a man I've only met once." ”
"It's a small thing," Ebony waved his hand nonchalantly, "The most important thing now is that you know what the thing that gave him great power is?" How much power is there? ”
"I don't know." Lydia smiled wryly.
"Then do you recall, when did that undercover agent change, after being exposed to something strange?" Ebony led Lydia to think.
After Lydia lowered her head and pondered for a while, she suddenly got up and said to Ebony with an anxious expression: "I remember, he seems to have slipped into a tomb of King Loulan with those terrorists, and brought something out of it. ”
"Do you suspect that there was something wrong with the antiques brought out of the mausoleum that made that undercover agent the manipulator?" Ebony is clear.
"Yes." Lydia nodded, a look of certainty.
"Then let's go, let's go back and ask Old Man Han Duwei to see what is in the legend of Gu Loulan that has such terrifying power, which can twist people's hearts, manipulate quicksand and even enslave the dead."
