The man stared at the white mechanical beetle in his hand, his brow furrowed.

Except for the color, this beetle is almost identical to the one in Shen Xiao's hand in terms of style, with the same volume, the same structure, and the same seven light points on the back shell.

It's just that the last of these seven points of light was quietly extinguished before.

"All seven people have been disconnected, I'm afraid something happened." Beside the man, a capable female officer looked at the extinguished indicator light on the beetle's back shell and said calmly. "Minister Liu, are we going to urgently contact the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau?"

"If we take the initiative to contact them at this time, wouldn't it be 'there are no three hundred taels of silver here'?" The man known as "Minister Liu" shook his head and casually put the white mechanical beetle aside. "Remember, this operation can only be an 'individual act' to the outside world, and must not have anything to do with our six ministries themselves."

"I understand that, but after all, they are encircling the 'gray crow'......" The female officer's expression flashed with a hint of worry. I'm just a little worried about their lives, not to mention Shen Xiao this time, she's a rare talent......"

"Since they have accepted the task, they are ready to bear any consequences, and if they are so easy to kill, they are not worthy of being my people." Minister Liu replied coldly. "And, whether this is carried out successfully or failing, it is never us who will have the most adverse consequences."

"If a candidate has an accident in a private fight in the examination room, then the most direct responsibility ...... It's the exam organizer! "The female officer suddenly realized." It doesn't matter if our people succeed or not. If something happens to either party, the Special Investigation Bureau, which is holding this exam, will be held accountable, and it will not be counted on us...... But this way. Didn't we put the chief security officer in a dilemma? ”

"Hmph, since that old witch deliberately shielded the 'gray crow', she has to bear the corresponding consequences!" Minister Liu snorted coldly. "Look, the show is still to come......"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the office door, and a communications officer walked in with an anxious face.

"Minister, the latest news from the examination room. Something happened to our people! Now they are all sent out of the examination room and are in the hospital for first aid! ”

"How's they doing?!" The female officer hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Lives have been saved, but they haven't regained consciousness...... the communications officer replied. We have sent someone to visit the hospital. Further information will await their debriefing. ”

"Hehe, that's great...... Old witch An, my people have an accident on your territory, see how you explain this time! Minister Liu clenched his fists. Spit out resentfully. Then he got up and looked at the female officer beside him. "You contact the regulator right now, I'm going to go over once."

The female officer nodded, and was about to turn to leave, when she heard the communications officer at the door suddenly open her mouth again.

"That...... Minister, there is one more thing......"

"Don't mother-in-law, if you have something to say, say it quickly!" Minister Liu's eyes widened, and the communications officer couldn't help but tremble.

"Yes! That one...... Also, there is an urgent call for you now......" The communications officer looked at Minister Liu's face and looked at Tieqing. Cautiously took out an internal communicator.

"It's time to call... Who is it!? ”

"It's the old man you just mentioned...... Oh no, it's the boss of the Special Investigation Bureau, An Xi. Director General of Security. ”——

“…… Don't you think we're walking here for a bit long? ”

Ye Yu raised his hand and glanced at the countdown on the bracelet, and at the same time subconsciously wrapped the coat that had been dried. "Also, it's getting colder and colder...... Is there a problem with the path we choose? ”

"Theoretically, it should be right, but ......" Yang Yunyi rubbed his hands in the inexplicable cold wind, and his heart was bottomless, and even Xiaolu, who was originally chattering next to him, had a solemn face, and rarely interjected to speak.

Originally, they thought that under the guidance of the direction of the "Shengmen", the three of them would be able to find a way out quickly, but the fact was that they had been walking around the passage behind this black secret door for more than two hours, and they still did not see the slightest shadow of the exit.

It was an old-looking, serpentine stone path, similar to the passage they had walked before, and the space here was not spacious, but strangely, the cyan stone slabs under their feet were unusually faintly fluorescent, and the flickering oil lamps on both sides of the stone path made the whole atmosphere look eerie.

"How do I feel...... This is like a corridor in a tomb? Ye Yu carefully observed the familiar scenes around him, and couldn't help but think of the "Loulan Ancient Tomb" he had encountered before, and he had a faint bad premonition in his heart.

“…… Indeed, the architectural style of this building is too abnormal, what is the use of the official setting up such a scene? Yang Yunyi said and looked at the bottomless passage ahead, and suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.

"Wait, look, there's something painted on the wall in front of you!"

Following the direction pointed by Yang Yunyi, Ye Yu finally found that on the stone wall in front of him, there seemed to be some murals depicted in black ink.

"This ...... What kind of event does it seem to be recounted?? Yang Yunyi stepped forward and carefully observed the murals. I saw that although the mural in front of me was rough, it could also be seen that the one in front of me was painted with a group of small people with teeth and claws, who seemed to be pointing to a stone falling from the sky in fear, and in the next painting, this group of villains began to worship around a huge hole.

"This should describe the process of a meteorite falling, and the costume of the villain in the painting does not look like a person from the Central Plains, huh...... A bit like the costumes of the ancient Western Regions? What do you think? Yang Yunyi said and turned his head to look at Ye Yu beside him, but found that the other party looked at the mural in front of him in a daze as if he had been hooked, and did not move.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Yang Yunyi patted Ye Yu's shoulder in surprise, and the latter suddenly came back to his senses. Turned his head blankly.

"Ah...... No, it's nothing ......" Ye Yu lowered his eyes and shook his head stiffly.

"You don't look like you're fine. What's going on? Yang Yunyi looked directly at Ye Yu's expression with a sharp gaze, and his mouth was still unrelenting.

What's the situation? Hehe...... I want to know what's going on!

Ye Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, and his eyes moved to another mural next to him, as expected, the picture in front of him coincided with the scene in his memory again, and this memory did not come from any information and personal experience, but a dream - that strange abnormality. And the thrilling nightmare that was actually presented in front of me not long ago.

Yang Yunyi also noticed the third mural on the wall along the direction Ye Yu was looking, and this time the little people on the mural were kneeling facing an adult who was sitting upright. Seven swarthy stone-like objects were placed upright in front of adults; However, in the other corner of the frame, a desperately struggling man is being dragged by a group of soldiers-like people to a burning fire pit densely painted with skeletons.

"Torture? Karmic fire refining people?? Yang Yunyi looked a little nervous. Just as I was about to move on to the next one. But he was stunned for a moment.

"Huh? Why is it gone?? Yang Yunyi looked at the bare stone wall on the side in surprise, his face dazed. No matter how you look at it, there should be a follow-up mural, why did it suddenly break ......"

But Ye Yu was not as surprised as Yang Yunyi, he even vaguely knew the reason for the disappearance of the subsequent murals in his heart - because in that weird dream, as "Zhou Jinping", he didn't look at it at all, and only the first three murals were impressed. And this once again confirms Ye Yu's unbelievable assumption, but it is becoming more and more credible-

The scene in the dream is real and clear. It was reflected in my own mind and turned into reality.

Why is this happening?

The previous "Loulan Tomb" time. Ye Yu subconsciously avoided this question, but after encountering the same thing again, he couldn't avoid it anymore.

Someone stole my dreams? No, this is impossible, for others there may be the possibility of the Bloodkeystone reading the memories, but for me as the 'Expulsor', no one can steal my memories, let alone arrange the exact same scene according to my dreams...... But the facts in front of us are ...... It doesn't make sense!

Just as Ye Yu was thinking about it in a panic, he heard Xiaolu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly speak.

"Don't go, there's not quite something wrong here." Xiaolu stopped, turned her head, and said to Ye Yu and Yang Yunyi with a serious face.

"It's been so long, isn't it too late to go back?" Yang Yunyi questioned. "Moreover, according to the instructions of the previous compass, this path is undoubtedly the direction of the 'Shengmen'......"

"I said, Young Master Yang, can you not be so rigid?" Shinoru rolled her eyes with disdain and pointed to the mural on the wall. "The painting on this is becoming more and more hideous and weird, this belongs to the 'fierce appearance' in Qimen Dunjia, although I don't want to admit it, but our previous judgment is probably really wrong, and it will be more and more dangerous to go on, understand?"

"I think ...... too Let's go back. This time, Ye Yu rarely held the same opinion as Xiaolu, and at the same time, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

Yang Yunyi glanced at the time on the bracelet again, hesitated for a moment, and finally let go of his insistence and agreed to the proposal of the two.

"Okay, but we've got to hurry, let's hope the secret door isn't closed......"

"Boom—"

Just as the three of them were about to turn around and walk back, the stone path suddenly began to shake violently, and the unsuspecting three people suddenly stumbled, and hurriedly held on to the stone wall to stabilize their bodies.

“…… Oops! Ye Yu looked at the rocks that kept falling above the stone road, and the picture in his dream flashed through his mind.

"Run!! It's going to collapse here!! (To be continued.) )

PS: Suddenly, my work hit the shelves.

When I first received the notice from the editor-in-charge, I was surprised at how it was put on the shelves so quickly, but after thinking about it, I had unconsciously written 35W+, and the plot had developed nearly halfway, and my story was almost finished if it was not on the shelves...... sweat
