Chapter 262: Pandora's Box

The hazy and gray sky, the rolling up of sand and dust, in this desert area tightly sealed by the army, an exploration team is in full swing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"There you have it! Found another ......"

Amidst the exclamations, a mutilated carrion body was wrapped in a white cloth and carried out of the desert floor, where it was carefully transported by several soldiers to a temporary settlement not far away.

Lan Jue looked at the corpse that had been carried by him, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he quickly looked away, looking up at the busy crowd in front of him without saying a word.

"Well, is this the evidence you want?"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded, Lan Jue turned his face sideways and glanced at Lan Jue, who was pacing slowly, his face didn't seem to be good-looking.

"You can't jump to conclusions until the matter is fully clarified." Lan Jue said expressionlessly

"Alas, you really don't want to die in the heart of the Yellow River." Lan Jue sighed helplessly and shook his head. "Although the ancient tomb has been blown up, the traces of modern equipment found in the rubble, as well as these mutilated rotting corpses, are enough to prove the statements of Ye Yu and others, not to mention the testimony of the two rescued teenagers before...... I really don't understand, what are you still holding on to in the face of so much ironclad evidence? ”

"......" Lan Jue was silent, and turned his head to look at the exploration team in front of him again, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Back then, in order to find out the secret of the Blood Keystone, the central government sent a lot of teams to go down, but none of them came back...... And there are people I know. After a while, Lan Jue finally opened his mouth quietly. For so many years, I have always believed in the upper echelons, and even though I have been dissatisfied with the actions of the radical and conservative factions from above who have sat back and watched each other fight each other, I have never thought that the upper echelons could shield the 'devouring', and it is even more difficult to imagine that the 'devouring' has already used this tomb as a base under the noses of the upper echelons to carry out so many evil deeds......"

Lan Jue turned around as he spoke, looking at his own brother beside him, and his always indifferent and stubborn face showed a rare trace of wavering.

"If it is true, as you say, 'Devouring' has already colluded with the official to create the Blood Keystone with human lives, then does it mean that those expeditions and innocent people who went to the tomb before...... Are they all 'materials' specially sent by the official? So we've spent so much energy tracking down Devouring over the years to recover the Bloodkeystone...... And for what? ”

"Although there are problems among the upper echelons, it is not necessary that the entire central government has colluded with the 'devouring', otherwise the work of excavating evidence on our side will not be able to proceed so smoothly." Lan Jue patted Lan Jue on the shoulder and said. "Now that the central government is under pressure, it has begun to investigate, but the 'mastermind behind the scenes' is so cunning, he must not give up, and now is not the time for our two factions to continue to fight each other, you should know this."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Do you want me to join forces with you? Lan Jue paused and suddenly spoke.

"Oops~ Your wooden fish head is finally enlightened." Lan Jue laughed, not paying any attention to Lan Jue's increasingly unhappy face. "It would be best if you could help us, if your position does not allow you to do this, then please don't put obstacles in our way~"

"Hmph...... Whatever you want. Lan Jue turned his back and didn't say anything more.

Jingle Bell –

A hurried cell phone ringing interrupted the conversation between the two.

Director Lan, oh no!! Lan Jue's phone came from the adjutant's anxious voice.

"What's wrong? Take your time. Lan Jue's expression was grim, and Lan Jue beside him also cast a suspicious look.

Director Lou and Ye Yu were originally scheduled to take the charter flight we arranged to go back to Xiayang City today, but ...... We didn't get anybody......

"What's going on? Didn't they catch the plane? ”

The surveillance showed that they did arrive at the airport on time, but instead of getting on the plane we had arranged, they got on another private jet......

"What?! That...... And what about private jets? ”

Missing...... The voice on the phone was full of chagrin.

That private jet...... Lost contact!

-----------------------------------

A sharp headache accompanied by hazy consciousness stirred Ye Yu's nerves. Ye Yu frowned, and finally slowly opened his eyes, but he still did not ease up.

How do I ...... Asleep? Where is this?

There was no roar of planes in his ears, and there was a strange dim scene in front of him, and what he was in at this time was obviously not the inside of the cabin as he had thought, but like an empty underground warehouse.

Ye Yu desperately searched for his previous memory, but that memory was abruptly interrupted after he and Lou Yue boarded the small charter plane, and he subconsciously wanted to raise his hand, but found that his hands and feet were firmly tied to a seat, completely unable to move.

"What's the situation?? This is......?! ”

Ye Yu was startled and hurriedly looked around, but suddenly found that not far from him, a familiar figure was lying on the ground covered in blood.

His pale face, his eyes were closed, and the black uniform on his body was soaked with blood, slowly spreading from his abdomen.

"Lou...... Lou Yue!? ”

Ye Yu's heart suddenly rose to his throat, he shouted and wanted to stand up, but he still couldn't move an inch, and just as he was struggling desperately, a calm and indifferent voice suddenly sounded from behind Ye Yu.

"If you try to mess around, he'll be your end."

"Who?!"

Ye Yu turned his head suddenly, but saw a gentle and unfamiliar man with glasses sitting not far behind him, looking at him playfully.

"Are you ......!?" Ye Yu looked at this elegantly dressed and seemingly harmless young man, but there was a loud alarm in his mind for no reason, and at the same time, some fragments in the depths of his memory began to emerge automatically, quietly overlapping with the voice of the man in front of him.

The voice...... That's right, I remember the voice!

Ye Yu's heart was beating violently, and he suddenly realized one thingβ€”this person's voice was exactly the same as the voice of the mysterious man he had heard in the memories of Lin Yutang and the tomb robber before.

- That's the man!

In just a moment, Ye Yu reacted to what he had encountered, and there was no doubt about this situation, the shadow that had been lingering like a nightmare - "devouring"...... Finally came to the door in person!

"You...... What did you do to Lou Yue!? Ye Yu stared at the strange man and shouted through gritted teeth.

"Just taught him a lesson, who made him so disobedient." The man stretched out his index finger and pushed the rimless glasses on his face, stood up with a sneer, and slowly walked towards Lou Yue, who fell to the ground unconscious. "But don't worry, he's still breathing, it's just ......"

Before he finished speaking, the man suddenly leaned down, grabbed Lou Yue's hair, and pointed Lou Yue's bloody pale face at Ye Yu.

"What are you doing!? Ye Yu's heart suddenly hung in the air, and he yelled loudly.

"Hehehe...... It seems that you are very nervous about him, that's right......" The man looked at Ye Yu's anxious face and smiled proudly. "He was seriously injured, and if he wasn't treated in time, I'm afraid this barely breathed breath wouldn't last long."

"You...... What do you want? Ye Yu desperately suppressed the anger boiling in his heart and said word by word.

"Hehe, it's simple, I need you to do something, something that only you, the Destroyer, can do." The man let go of the hand that was holding Lou Yue's hair, stood up, and walked in front of Ye Yu step by step. "Thankfully, if it weren't for the fact that I knew you had that kind of ability, you probably wouldn't have been able to get out of that plane alive."

"...... that ability?" Ye Yu frowned, not understanding what the other party meant. "Also, the plane we were on before...... Did you do it? ”

"That's nature. We've gone to great lengths to get you on the plane we've arranged, and honestly, it's not easy to hide from this person. The man said, turning his head sideways and glancing at Lou Yue on the ground. But fortunately, it was a success. ”

Our boarding information was delivered by the central government in a confidential mail, and they were able to steal the beams and pillars on this!? It seems that there is indeed a problem within the central government......

Ye Yu pondered, and at the same time secretly thought about how to deal with such an unfavorable situation.

"You said 'one thing you want me to do'...... What is it? ”

Ye Yu stared at the man in front of him calmly, but the fingers that were handcuffed behind his back began to hook the metal bracelet on his wrist - that was also the only life-saving straw that could help him and Lou Yue at present.

"If you want to use your bracelet to ask for help, I advise you not to bother."

As if to see through Ye Yu's intentions, the man hooked the corners of his mouth and suddenly spoke. "There is already a signal jammer set up here, and the transmission signal on your bracelet can't reach this room at all."

β€œβ€¦β€¦οΌβ€ Ye Yu's body stagnated.

"Hehe, do you think your little trick can still escape my eyes?" As he spoke, the man turned his head to look at Lou Yue on the ground, and suddenly raised his leg and kicked Lou Yue hard at the wound in his abdomen!

"Hmmβ€”β€”!" Lou Yue, who had been unconscious, suddenly reacted and vomited a mouthful of blood in pain.

"Stopβ€”β€”!!" Ye Yu was shocked and roared angrily.

"If you're not honest, I have the means to torture him." The man's indifferent pupils were full of cruelty.

"What do you want me to do...... Say it, I'll do ......" Ye Yu looked at Lou Yue, who was struggling in pain in a pool of blood, and his psychological defense line finally wavered.

"Hehe, that's right." The man stretched out his fingers, lifted Ye Yu's chin, stared at the other party's desperate and empty pupils, and said slowly. "As an expulsor, you can read the memories of the tomb owner of the Loulan Ancient Tomb hidden in the Blood Keystone, but is there such a thing?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Be. Ye Yu lowered his eyes, and finally spit out a word after struggling for a long time.

"In the memories of the tomb master that you glimpsed in the Blood Keystone before, is there any content about the Blood Keystone refining into a magic circle?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦οΌοΌ No, how...... How could there be such a thing?! Ye Yu suddenly realized the other party's intentions, and hurriedly denied it.

"It's useless if you don't want to admit it, I already know what's going on. Hmph, no wonder that the ace didn't want to tell the secret hidden in the Blood Keystone until he died, it turned out to be like this......" The man sneered and let go of his hand.

"You...... What exactly do you want to say? Ye Yu said tremblingly.

"Hehehe...... Complete Blood Keystones are made into a circle, and how to drive the circle...... There is only one place to find these thousand-year-old secrets, and that is the memory fragment of the original tomb owner hidden in the seven Blood Key Stones! ”

The man looked down at Ye Yu, who was shocked, and a trace of madness gradually appeared on his gentle face.

"I want you to read all the memories of the tomb master in the Blood Keystone, and restore the ...... that has traveled through thousands of years The ultimate mystery! (To be continued.) )
