Chapter Fifty-Nine: A Narrow Road Encounter
There is no medicine to regret in the world, I forced myself to calm down and analyzed the current situation.
We're stuck here, and we don't know anything about mechanics. Jiang Xi will disappear suddenly, obviously, he did not go out the same way, that is, the same gate when we came, because he did not have this time at all.
The only possibility is that there are other hidden tunnels here. Jiang Xi should have taken advantage of the fact that when we weren't paying attention, he took the Muyuan gall bead and left through the secret passage.
If you want to complete this series of actions in a period of time, you must meet at least one condition, that is, the location of the dark path cannot be too far away from the Jumang bird. In this way, I locked on a range around the bird and continued the analysis.
With the exception of the bird, there were tight tiles all around, and I tried to knock it twice, and the sound seemed to be solid. But if the floor tiles are thicker, or the space behind the floor tiles is smaller, the sound of tapping like this is actually inaudible.
So, it's likely that there are secret passages around here, but we don't know how to find out.
After listening to my analysis, Tang Linlin touched her chin and said; "You say, could the mechanism be on this mangbird? The thief surnamed Jiang must be afraid that after we use him, Xiao An will clean him up, so he opened the mechanism and ran away. ”
I nodded, thinking that her suspicion was very likely. But what if you know? Can I still open the mechanism?
At this time, we have to give it a try anyway, so I took the flashlight from Tang Linlin's hand and shone it towards the mouth of the mangbird.
When I looked at it, I found that there was a very interesting thing in the beak of the mango bird. At about the throat, there was something like a track, and at one end of the track, there was a grayish-white bead that could roll to the other side if you gently plucked it. With this design, the entire track is high on one side and low on the other.
I don't know what the significance of such a design is, but it is clear that it is impossible for the people of Hamen to come up with a meaningless thing.
Perhaps, I should try to see what happens when I pluck this bead through it?
But at this moment, this decision is not something I can do alone, because with me is Tang Linlin, and my actions not only determine my own life and death, but also her life and death. I told her what I thought, Tang Linlin thought about it, and said: "The mechanism that Jiang Xi opened should not be a very complicated thing, otherwise he would not have completed it in such a short time, maybe we can give it a try, even if it fails, it's a big deal...... That's the big deal. ”
As she spoke, she shrugged her shoulders as if she didn't care, but in fact, the nervous look on her face couldn't be resisted no matter what. Now, there is no other way, seeing that Tang Linlin has no opinion, I decided to take a risk.
Just as I reached into the beak to get the bead, a hint of foreboding flashed through my mind. This premonition did not come from me, to be exact, from Fu An, and it was a very strange emotion.
It seemed to be worried, but it seemed to be very happy, as if it was waiting for me to die.
This complex psychological emotion was only fleeting, but when I caught it, I immediately gave up on my actions. Because I know that once we start, what awaits us will definitely not be a good thing, otherwise Fu An would not have that strange psychological reaction.
According to my observations, although Fu An's resentment was aroused, it should not have been completely controlled by resentment, after all, wasn't he still worried about me just now?
Tang Linlin saw me withdraw my hand and said in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”
I shook my head, glanced at Fu An, and said, "My intuition tells me that this organ will not save us." Tang Linlin's eyes moved back and forth twice in front of the two of us, as if she had guessed the reason, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that we are really going to confess here today, but it doesn't matter, you can't be the same in life, and you can still be the same in death." Xiao An, if we become ghosts after we die, the three of us will stay in this place forever, it's dark, there's nothing, it's so eerie. ”
Fu An's miserable white face revealed a trace of disgust.
Tang Linlin struck while the iron was hot and said: "If we are alive, it will be different, the world is so big, we can go to many places to see." Xiao An, have you ever been to the zoo? ”
"Zoo? Elephant. Somehow, such a sentence suddenly popped out of Fu An's mouth, and his voice changed to the appearance of a child, exactly the same as before, and I even thought that Xiao An was back. But unfortunately, it was just a sound, because soon, its face was distorted, and it turned into that kind of strange expression with a smile but not a smile, a cry but not a cry, which made people's hairs stand on end.
Tang Linlin said: "There are many things besides elephants, don't you want to go and see them?" Do you want us to die here and then ghosts roam this place for the rest of our lives? ”
"Besides, not everyone can become a ghost after death, maybe me and Tiantian will disappear directly, and when the time comes, you will be the only one left in this place, maybe for hundreds of years, maybe thousands of years, maybe no one will ever find you, aren't you afraid?"
"Enough!" Fu An suddenly screamed, and a cold wind blew around him for no reason, faintly carrying a ghost crying wolf howl. Immediately afterwards, Fu An pointed to the mangniao and said, "I saw him take things away and turn around." ”
He was referring to the track-shaped thing in the mouth of the mangbird, Tang Linlin winked at me, lowered her voice and said, "See, although the size has grown, but the mind has not grown, children, you have to coax and scare." ”
While speaking, I stretched out my hand and tried to touch the thing, and sure enough, I found that not only the ball, but also the entire track was moving, and after flipping one of them, the ball actually made a bang, and it seemed to fall into the stomach of the mangbird, and then before I could react, my feet were empty, and the whole person suddenly rolled down, and Tang Linlin behind me also screamed and fell down.
This is a downward inclined tunnel, due to no preparation in advance, we fell down, the flashlight also fell out, and rolled in the dark for a while, Tang Linlin finally pressed directly on me.
As for myself...... I fainted.
It's not because I'm too cowardly, but because I'm weak enough, this fall, the broken arm was also crushed, and the pain and weakness of the body made me smear my eyes again.
This time the coma was not complete, I vaguely heard the sound of Tang Linlin crying and grabbing the ground, and then it seemed to be carried by someone, about Tang Linlin, I am very grateful to her, I have been letting a girl carry me, I really feel sorry.
In a daze, I only felt a sharp pain all over my body, from time to time, Tang Linlin seemed to stop for a while, I could feel that she was very tired, but I couldn't wake up.
In this way, I don't know how long later, when I woke up, I found that it was dark all around.
What is this place?
I tried to move, but it hurt a lot in my broken arm, and I wasn't sure if it would ever grow up.
Just as I was about to stand up, a hand suddenly put on my shoulder and pressed me down, and at the same time, a voice shushed and said in my ear in a very low voice: "Don't speak, it's me." ”
Although I wanted to ask her what was going on, I subconsciously didn't speak, and most importantly, I felt that my throat was already dry and I couldn't speak.
Although the flashlight doesn't know how it fell, she has a windproof lighter on her, why didn't she light the lighter?
What happened?
Just as I was guessing, in the dark, in the direction of my front, the voices of several people suddenly came to talk: "Traitor, you actually came to take the treasure of my clan for an outsider, what is the use of people like you!" "It was a slightly old voice that spoke, I felt a little familiar, and it took me a while to remember, wasn't this the voice of Elder Lei?
I was shocked, and my heart said, "What is this place?" How did you meet him?
"I've sealed all the organs, how can you chase here!" This is Jiang Xi's voice, and there is no coldness in his voice when facing us outsiders in the past, and he looks extremely shocked at this moment.
In the darkness, a woman's voice came out again, with a rather regretful look: "Jiang Xi, you were originally from the torture hall, and later transferred you to Sichen Hall to assist in handling foreign affairs, and it is also the trust of the clan in you, I didn't expect you to betray us for an outsider, which really makes me feel cold." Now, if you are caught, there may be room for things to turn around. ”
I thought it was strange before, the Yumen hierarchy is very strict, why this surnamed Jiang, one moment said that he was from the Torture Hall, and the other said that he was a postdoctoral fellow in Fudan, and the co-author changed jobs halfway.
But who is the outsider they are talking about?
Is it all because of that person that Jiang Xi did all this?
Elder Lei and the others are here, so what about Tan Jian and them?
Why do these people like to talk in the dark, why don't they light the lamp?
Tang Linlin continued to say to me in a very low voice: "We are walking towards the exit now, I have never dared to follow Jiang Xi too closely, but I don't know what's going on, these people actually blocked us." No matter who wins or loses, let's hide and don't show up. ”
I nodded, and in a breathy voice, I replied, "Why didn't they light the fire?" ”
Tang Linlin said: "There is fire, you won't be blind, right?" When she was surprised, she couldn't help but raise her voice, and suddenly, we were discovered, and someone in the darkness shouted: "Who is hiding there, come out!" ”
There was a buzz in my head, I just thought that God was too good at joking with me, didn't I just fall, how could I be blind.
What kind of soap opera is this?
But soon, I knew why I was going back to do this, because I noticed that my right shoulder was quite painful, and that place should have been the place where the corpse control wedge was originally inserted. But now, when I touched it with my hand, I only felt the wound, not the wedge.
