Su Lan's brain crashed for two seconds, and the whole person exploded: "You-hmm-"

Xiao Ji stretched out his left hand to cover his mouth before he shouted the second syllable, pointed in the direction of the secret door with his right hand and made a shushing motion, and then walked up to Zhang Xuan, picked up her joints, and led the way to the depths alone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Zhang Xuan knew that his skills were too far away from the other party, so he withdrew his dagger and followed at the end with a calm face, Su Lan walked in the middle, full of doubts, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you here?" ”

"Don't talk." Xiao Ji's voice was as calm as ever, "There are other Qiuba in the snake cave. ”

"Wh-" A word came out of Su Lan's mouth, and she hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth. Xiao Ji saw that Su Lan and Susan no longer squeaked, and fell silent. The three of them turned left and right in the dark passage for half an hour, and gradually heard the sound of water. Then Su Lan's eyes lit up, and she saw that the dark and ugly rocks above her head had become translucent, and when she looked out, she could see the blue lake and big fish swimming, as if she had entered the corridor of the aquarium.

"We came to the bottom of the original lake?" Su Lan asked.

"Yes." Xiao Ji said, "If you go forward, you will come to the back of the waterfall, there are many fish, you can catch a few and eat." ”

"You-"

"I'm not hungry."

"That's not what I mean," Su Lan was a little embarrassed that she was misunderstood, "I mean to say that when I was eating fish by the lake the day before yesterday, I found a human finger bone in the stomach of the fish, do you know what the reason is?" ”

"There are corpses at the bottom of the lake."

"There's a corpse at the bottom of the lake?!" Please, great god, can you not say such a shocking thing in such a calm tone? "Whose corpse?"

Xiao Ji stretched out his arm to signal them to stop, staring intently at the aisle in front of them. Su Lan thought that something terrible monster that had never been seen before would pop out in the next second, but Xiao Ji just pressed the wall, and then part of the wall of the aisle automatically rose to reveal the space behind it: "It's just Tomb Raider, press a mechanism to open a door or something......"

"Mr. Ji, where are Mr. Lao Qiao and Mr. Zhao." Zhang Xuan interrupted Su Lan's emotion and asked Xiao Ji. This was the first thing she said since they met Xiao Ji, she was silent until now. Su Lan looked at the stiff lines of her face, feeling that she was more hostile to Xiao Ji than to Susan, and then remembered Zhang Xuan's words in the train toilet and Susan's suspicion of him, and suddenly sobered up a lot.

"I don't know." Xiao Ji replied lightly and walked into the rising wall. Su Lan just followed, behind this stone wall was just a thirty-square-meter dark room, with a five-meter-high pole in the middle, and a disc at the top, with many iron chains hanging from the edges, and the cage swayed slightly with the wind blowing through the hall at the entrance. Su Lan took a few steps back and squinted her eyes, and then the light of the flashlight was so-so, and she saw that the hair stood up directly when she saw the things inside. Zhang Xuan exclaimed directly: "Why are there so many dead people?!" ”

Xiao Ji stretched out his hand to Su Lan: "Knife." ”

"You mean the butterfly knife? To give. Su Lan took out the butterfly knife from her pocket and gave it to Xiao Ji, "What are you going to do with the knife?" ”

Xiao Ji looked up for two seconds, and the knife in his hand flew out at once, hitting the top of the chain and the buckle part of the disc at a very tricky angle. With a bang, the cage above Su Lan's head fell directly, but fortunately, Zhang Xuan pulled him in time, otherwise he would have at least hit his foot.

You're ...... Su Lan didn't know how to complain about you, this guy is playing with a good knife, and the accuracy is as good as a boomerang, or if you hit the cage and come down, don't say that looking at me ordering such a big cage almost smashed me into a meatloaf. With a confused face, Xiao Ji caught the knife, walked around him and Zhang Xuan to the cage, and stabbed the tip of the knife in the rusty padlock keyhole on the cage door a few times, the lock fell to the ground and kicked it aside, and then opened the door and reached out to pull out the corpse inside.

Su Lan subconsciously held her breath, and Zhang Xuan directly covered her nose, but the dead man did not have the corpse smell that Su Lan expected. Xiao Ji didn't stop moving, turned over the dead man for a long time, took out a gun and threw it to Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan didn't react at all to pick it up, and the gun snapped and fell to the ground and spun around.

"Didn't you lose your gun? Take it for self-defense. Su Lan bent down and picked up the gun and handed it to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment and took it, flipped through the checks in his hand, and his voice trembled a little: "I'm not used to this kind of old-fashioned gun ......"

Su Lan said in her heart, it would be good to have a gun for you to defend yourself in this kind of place, and after thinking about it, she immediately understood that Zhang Xuan said this just to hide her uneasiness, and instead she directly used the things she pulled from the dead man, even if she didn't believe in evil, she had to mumble in her heart. Su Lan walked up to the dead man and swallowed the moment she saw the clothes on the dead man.

Zhang Xuan, who was behind him, saw that something was wrong with Su Lan: "Do you know this person?" ”

"Twenty years ago, the people in Sun Yue's archaeological team." Su Lan noticed that when she said this, Xiao Ji's movements paused for half a second, "Xiao Ji, do you know who he is?" ”

Xiao Ji pointed to the dead man's collar, and Su Lan took a flashlight to find that the inner lining had sewn a "leaf" with needles and threads. What the hell is going on with this man...... Forget it, I can't ask Xiao Ji for a fart. Su Lan touched the dead man's hand, it was shriveled and hard like wax jerky, and he felt that he had been dehydrated to death in an extremely dry and stuffy place and then moved to this place. For example, locked in a cage and put in the desert to die of life and sunburn?

Recalling the details of the illusion he had seen at the altar, Su Lan was sure that this person was one of the four people who disappeared from the archaeological team, and since his body was locked in a cage and hung here, the remaining three people ...... Su Lan looked up at the rest of the cages and said slowly, "Xiao Ji, I need you to help me knock down the other cages...... Small season? ”

Su Lan looked to the side and found that Xiao Ji had walked away at some point, and then turned around, the dead man on the ground was actually gone, and then there was the sound of a bullet loading from behind, Su Lan just wanted to turn around when she heard Zhang Xuan shouting: "Don't move!" ”

What happened to Nima?! Su Lan turned half of her body and stood stiffly, as soon as Zhang Xuan's words fell, the gunshots rang out immediately, and there were continuous painful roars and physical fighting sounds in the direction close to her, and then Su Lan's body was pushed forward violently, and Xiao Ji shouted: "Hurry up and run to the door!" ”

Su Lan looked up and saw that the cages above her head all began to shake for some reason, and the sound of the chains clattering instantly overshadowed other sounds, aiming at the door in the direction where Zhang Xuan was standing with her gun raised, and rushed over with all her might. Zhang Xuan kept shooting while he was running, Su Lan could hear the constant roars around him, and he didn't dare to turn his head to look, he rushed to Zhang Xuan's side in three steps and two steps, and the next moment Xiao Ji also rushed to the door, and the butterfly knife in his hand was inserted in an invisible gap in the stone wall, and the stone wall fell down with a bang.

Zhang Xuan looked at the fish on the translucent ceiling in the corridor, and suddenly the whole person slid against the stone wall like a detachment, holding his forehead and panting. Xiao Ji took the butterfly knife back into the scabbard, and took out a box of bullets from his pocket and threw it to Zhang Xuan, this time Zhang Xuan took it in his hand and looked at it for half a second, looked up at Xiao Ji and asked, "You took us to the ghost gate to walk around just to find guns and bullets?" ”

"If you don't have a gun, you're a drag bottle."

"Believe it or not, I'll shoot you right away." Zhang Xuan's voice suddenly cooled down, and he raised his gun to Xiao Ji's head.

Facing the swarthy muzzle, Xiao Ji didn't react at all, turned his back and continued to walk forward: "Keep up." Zhang Xuan rubbed the trigger with his index finger several times, and finally lowered the gun in his hand in a deflated manner, his face full of frustration and unhappiness. Su Lan walked up to Zhang Xuan and stretched out her hand: "I know you can't trust him, but now you can only trust him." ”

"He's a blue-eyed man."

Only then did Su Lan realize that Xiao Ji didn't wear sunglasses, which should be the first time Zhang Xuan saw Xiao Ji's true face on this expedition: "Hey, what kind of reason is this, maybe people are of mixed Chinese and foreign blood, and you have a grudge against Blue Eyes?" ”

Zhang Xuan shook his head: "You don't understand the situation at all. ”

"What's the situation?"

Zhang Xuan motioned to Su Lan not to ask, grabbed Su Lan's hand and stood up, looked at Xiao Ji's back and asked Su Lan in a low voice: "You can completely trust him?" ”

"......" This is really a difficult question to answer, Su Lan thought for a moment and said, "I can't think of any reason for him to harm us." ”
