Chapter Eighty-Three: Blood Sacrifice
Kuroko nodded, and silently struck his left and right hands at the place marked by the smoker, and even so, when all four holes were revealed, his fists were still stained with blood. Taro hurriedly went over to bandage it, but he didn't see any unusual expression on his face during the whole process.
At this scene, Liu Yunsheng, who was not very familiar with the sunspots, was stunned, staring intently at his big hands that were different from ordinary people, and his shock was beyond words.
The smoker nodded at the sunspot, "Fat man, mosquito, old ghost, taro, the five of us together, with a little force, we should be able to kick out a big hole." ”
We stood together, "One, two, three!" ”
A large piece of the five holes in the earthen wall fell down with a sound, but the sound of the fall was not like falling directly into the water, but with a muffled sound, as if it were falling on a stone. The fat man turned on the miner's lamp and shone it in, shouting, "There are stairs behind here." ”
"Let's keep our backpacks down, bring only the necessary diving equipment, and travel lightly." The big head said that he took the lead in emptying his backpack, and the guns and the like were thrown into the corner because there were not a few bullets on their backs. The rest of the mess was thrown over, and in a few moments the corners of the wall were piled up in the shape of a hill.
"Let's go!"
Several miner's lamps were turned on together, and the narrow underground staircase illuminated was brightly lit, but even so, the bottom was still not clear, but this is also normal, we started from the island, although the slope of the road is not high, but in general it is still like climbing a mountain to move towards a high place, and now since this staircase can definitely lead to the ancestral hall under the sea, it must be extremely exaggerated in length.
After carefully checking that there was nothing strange on the left wall, everyone walked down step by step against the wall, and as time passed, the damp salty sea breeze became more and more obvious, which was good news, at least it meant that everyone had found the right place.
As a result, it took more than half an hour to walk before a solid ground appeared underneath, and nothing else.
The monkey asked strangely, "I feel that there is a sea breeze blowing, why is there no water here?" ”
"Not really." Kuroko walked straight across the field with the miner's lamp, and when he reached the opposite side, the miner's lamp shone straight at a black wall, at least what we looked like at first glance. "It's a wall, see the tiny holes in it? That's how the sea breeze comes from inside, and the real entrance is behind the wall. ”
After hearing the sunspot say that the black thing was a wall, several of us hurriedly shone the miner's lamp together, and as soon as I saw it, I was immediately surprised, "Isn't this the kind of black stone that everyone saw in the forests of northern Shaanxi?" How? Is it the people of the organization who are hiding the treasure? ”
The smoker took the cigarette in his mouth and stroked it, and after a short while, he shook his head and said, "It looks very similar, but it is two different black stones, the material of that room is still warm to the touch, but here it is cold to the bone." ”
The monkey said suspiciously, "Maybe it's because the sea breeze inside has been blowing for a long time?" ”
"No, it's not. No matter how strong the sea breeze is, it can't cause this effect, because of the material. Again, the smoker denied.
Kuroko agrees, "Based on what we know about this organization, the biggest reason why they don't have the leisure to do things that bury treasures everywhere is that they need huge funds to support all kinds of expensive research work." This wall is just similar. ”
"Wait! If I'm not mistaken, this kind of wall can't be blown up, and we don't have gunpowder, so how can we open it! "The monkey asks the most critical question.
Pang Qinghe, who was behind him, suddenly said, "There is no wall in the world that can never be opened, everyone looks at the ground, all the lights shine over, there seems to be a huge pattern here." ”
When all the lights shone down, an incomparably complex linear pattern immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes, starting from the starting point on the opposite side, and finally dozens of exits stopped under the black wall. The whole picture seems irregular, but one thing is for sure, in order to open the black wall, you have to figure out what the picture is for.
He Laoer, the most senior in the group, studied for nearly ten minutes without saying a word, but he still didn't have much clue, "Although I have never seen this kind of pattern old man, but I probably have some clue about how to open the black wall, you see these lines crisscrossing the ground, do they all have a certain depth, and finally extend to the bottom of the black wall." I've only encountered something like this once in my life, and that time it was at the cost of a fellow's life to fill the ravines with his blood that I succeeded in opening the door of the tomb. ”
Holy, isn't it? This black wall has to be opened with a blood sacrifice?
Hearing this, the taro squatted down, stretched out a finger and smeared it in the ravine, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and after making sure that it was non-toxic, he put it in his mouth. A bad face came, only to hear him frown and say, "It's indeed blood!" I don't know why, it's salty! ”
After Kuroko got an affirmative answer, he said slowly, "This is probably the last mechanism that protects the ancestral hall, and it makes sense that it is so complicated. As he spoke, he pulled out the green knife on his waist and slashed it vigorously towards the wall, leaving no trace as expected. Putting away the knife, he suddenly punched again, but instead of having any effect, this punch shook him with pain, and his right hand was thrown up.
Everyone stared at the altar-like thing on the ground with embarrassed faces, and couldn't make up their minds, if it was one thing to die in battle, but to die here with blood was another thing on a completely different level. No one is in a position to ask anyone to make such a sacrifice.
Time seemed to freeze until the old ghost said, "I'll come!" ”
"What?" The rest of the people looked at the old ghost with a calm face in shock, unable to believe what he had just said.
As soon as I reacted, I said to the big head and the others almost at the same time, "How can I do that?" No kidding, if you think of another way, there must be a way! ”
The old ghost laughed, and the appearance of death as if it were home was heart-wrenching. "Mosquito, I've killed a lot of people from the organization when I'm here this time, and although I haven't been able to go to the end with everyone, it's enough. Let me, an old fellow, give you another ride, hoping that you can successfully destroy the evil organization, and it can be regarded as fulfilling my wish. ”
