At first, we had to stop every step of the way and wait for the sound to subside and redefine the direction and volume of the sound, but the water soon rose to our thighs, and the human voice gradually overpowered the sound of the water. At the same time, it became difficult to walk in the tunnels, and from time to time there were floating objects that got tangled around my ankles, and sometimes the ground under the water was uneven, and I almost tripped several times.

Tomie is in much better shape than I am, and if I hadn't dragged her down, she would have been much faster. She was obviously a woman, but she carried more weight than me, and I couldn't help but feel ashamed of my small size. She stuck her axe behind her back, held an improvised flamethrower in one hand, and pulled me so I wouldn't fall in the other.

"I've always believed that the mind is more important than the body." I said, "He who has wisdom can get everything." ”

"And now?"

"I know that the mind is just a part of the body."

"Ah Chuan, do you know how to write the word 'wisdom'?"

"Zhiri."

"That's right, Zhiri." Tomie emphasized the last two words, and laughed weirdly: "You are far from wisdom, boy." ”

There was something in her words, and when I understood the hidden meaning, I couldn't help but feel a fever in my ears. I knew that Lu Dao Tomie was a cheerful and bold woman, but when she was ridiculed so vulgarly, she was still caught off guard, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say. I've always been taught that a good woman is like a reserved lily, but Tomie completely subverts this notion that she's not a bad woman, but she's not restrained at all.

"Is this a joke?" I can't believe it.

"That's right, the joke with color, I made my own."

"You're too bad, Tomie."

"I don't think it's part of education. Physiological education. ”

Traveling in a harsh environment is laborious and depressing, but it is incredibly unbelievable that when you talk to Tomie, you don't feel the passage of time and physical strength. Gradually, the voices could be heard, and they seemed to be arguing, and then there was a violent roar that shook the stone walls and the surface of the water.

It's gunshots! It's a group of people fighting!

When I woke up to this, my ears were still ringing. Tomie's pace slowed, and she also noticed the strangeness ahead. Because I didn't know what was going on, I was a little hesitant to join up with the people in front of me, and when I asked Tomie for advice, she seemed quite excited, like a terrorist who feared that the world would not be chaotic.

"Looks like we're going to be fishermen."

"They have guns!" I reminded.

"A layman's gun is actually very easy to deal with." Tomie said lightly: "Don't you want to go and see what is going on?" What are they fighting for? ”

"I was taught to stay out of trouble."

"You've been in trouble for a long time."

"You're right." I lifted my crossbow, "So we have to get out of trouble." ”

Tomie immediately quickened his pace.

"Just waiting for your words." She said.

The gunfire rang out intensively for a while and then became fragmented, but the shouts and screams of the people became high.

"Blame, monster!"

"Help, help, who's going to save me!"

"Shoot, don't stop!"

"There are no bullets."

"Get out of the way, it's coming again."

"Oh my God, oh my God...... Get out of here! ”

They shouted in English, "I'm a veritable honor student, and I don't understand."

The group stumbled toward us, making a messy footstep, but they were so frightened that they didn't even notice the unusual sound of water as we walked. The sound of footsteps and the sound of water splashes coincided, and the echo echoed in the corridor all the time. As for Tomie and I, the water was receding, the ground was beginning to tilt upwards, and there was a bright light ahead, and we were almost at the end.

At the end of the corridor was an open door, and there was no water standing in the place, so we stopped behind the door and peeked. On the opposite side is a cylindrical space with a diameter of 20 meters, and the lampholders on the four walls are also in disrepair for a long time, but they have been plugged in with torches. Someone was one step ahead of us and well prepared.

In addition to the door from which we came out, there was also an open gate on the stone wall directly in front of us, and perhaps those people came in from that side, and when they saw that there was standing water in the direction we came, they did not go deeper. On both sides are stone stairs that climb up the curved wall, like a pair of arms around the stone platform on the second floor, and there is also an open door on the stone platform, and figures rush out of it.

Some of them had weapons in their hands, some of them didn't, but they were all dressed as ordinary people. The torches on the wall made me think they were well prepared, but apparently not. When the first five came in, the ghosts wept and howled, and they were embarrassed, and they spread out on the stone platform, and rushed down the stone stairs left and right, looking like they had palpitations.

These people converged at the bottom of the column, and sat on the ground one by one, looking dejected, apparently having suffered a great loss before, and not even noticing that no one seemed to be broken.

After about ten seconds, the last person came in. His steps were methodical and calm, and he closed the door as soon as he entered. There was a thud from behind the door, and there was a thud, and the man under the stone platform jumped up like frightened birds, until the silence that followed the crash fell for a long time, and then he sat down again.

There were six people in total, four men and two women, I am not sure which nationality they were, but they all had all skin tones, and their hair was divided into several colors, brown, black, burgundy, yellow, some of them were dyed at a glance, and some of them seemed to be born with a hair color.

The man who came in the last of them was dressed in a black coat, tall in physique, with a broad face, a pair of glasses, and his half-gray hair, which was hard and short, about fifty years old, and exuded a gentle and wise scholarly temperament. He had a cross on his chest.

"It's a priest." Tomie whispered.

Yes, he was dressed like a priest.

The priest descended the steps in a slow but rhythmic manner. His gaze wandered around, not with the sharpness of youth, but with a sense of contemplation and inquiry, which seemed to be able to encompass everything and go down to great detail.

He looked like the leader of the team, but in fact no one paid attention to him, and he didn't greet the others, and he seemed a little independent.

"What the hell is that!" A young man dressed as a hippie cursed.

No one could tell, someone was sobbing in the silence, a young woman with burgundy hair. I can't tell if it's European or American. The contours of the face are deep, and the short and narrow leather jacket and leather pants outline the beautiful figure, revealing a large area of skin. Although the flower looks bleak, she is still a beauty. ,

Although she is dressed up to provoke anger, her personality seems to be a little weak, and she is crying secretly, which makes others a little unhappy. The middle-aged man in a suit shouted at her irritably.

"Enough! Shut up! ”

"Shut up, too!" Another woman, a black woman with a better figure and a casual tank top and trousers, said, "Don't get angry with women if you have the ability." ”

The man in the suit kicked the stone hard and walked to the other side and sat down. The black woman walked up to the burgundy and hugged her, burying her head in her full chest.

"It's a monster, a Mandela monster, it's rare." The priest said suddenly.

He looked like he was talking to himself, and no one replied to him.

The priest's gaze circled around the building, and the last fell on the gate where Tomie and I were hiding, and Tomie and I shrank into the shadows in time. At that moment, the diamond-shaped mark on my left hand burned and I almost exhaled.

"Who's there?" The priest's hesitant voice rang out.

was discovered.

The rest of the men, who were already frightened birds, jumped to their feet, picked up their disorganized weapons, and stared warily at this side, their wary gaze as if they were nothing of the gate and the shadows.

The people on both sides were silent, their breathing getting heavier and heavier as the atmosphere became oppressive.

Tomie put down the improvised flamethrower, and the gas canister slammed into the ground with a dull sound. The men took a few steps back, but then realized that something was wrong and shouted again.

"Who's there? Come out? ”

"No problem, please wait." Tomie said unhurriedly and removed the axe from his back.

She looked at me like she knew what she was going to do.

Tomie is not a person who is tied down, and at this time, if you want to talk to the other party on an equal footing, you must show your means.

Tomie held me back and stepped out the door into the sight of the group.

They stared at her and couldn't say a word, and they all took a cool breath.

In the eyes of these poorly equipped people, Tomie, who is fully armed but looks strange because of his poor equipment, is naturally terrifying.

While they were all focused on Tomie, I took my bow and aimed at them, hiding behind me.
