Chapter 2: Mystery 2

To be honest, I wasn't surprised to hear that. In such an evil realm, it is possible to encounter any road.

I was mentally prepared for a long time.

Qin Yiheng obviously didn't take it seriously, so he snorted and motioned for Bai Kai to continue moving forward.

The group continued along the strange bushes on both sides.

Bai Kai whispered to me as he walked, Xiao Que, do you know which child destroyed these flowers and plants?

You've just said it, it must be filthy. I glanced at the bushes, and there was only one answer that came to mind.

Nonono, this isn't filthy. It's artificial. There is an evil trick in our industry, called bait. What is human bait? It is to find a half-dead master and tie two large brass bells to his feet. He put him out into the wilderness, and dragged him on the ground with his horse. The filth that is close to it will be attracted by this brass bell, and when they see the bait, they think that this is an opportunity to be reincarnated. Naturally, they ran after the bait. After all, this horse is more spiritual than a human, and when it senses that the filth is approaching, it naturally runs faster and more crazy. When the bait was dragged to death, the filth could no longer feel the yang energy, and it would disperse.

This bureau generally serves two purposes. First, the people who do the game want to draw all the filth of the nearby troubles together and catch them all, which is very time-saving and labor-saving to use. It's just that one thing is more difficult to operate, that is, although this horse is psychic and can be tamed, it is in a state of panic after all, so it is usually difficult to run to the location predetermined by the bureaur. In this way, it is easy to lose more than it gains, so if you don't have strong skills, or you have to do it, you generally won't make this decision.

The second is that when there is no ability to compete with filth, it is only a matter of using human bait to lure filth away from the lives of the population. Although this cannot cure the root cause, it can cure the symptoms in a short period of time. In ancient times, this was generally on the battlefield, or in the place where there were droughts and floods, and a large number of people died. Therefore, after the battle, many battlefields will see horses pulling corpses alone from time to time, which is actually artificial. The purpose is to clean up the filth, after all, the battlefield is usually not finished in a single battle, it must be accompanied by camps, confrontations, and many battles. It's filth, and it's not a good thing.

The white spit flew around, although I could only see the back of his head. But I can already imagine his expression.

I said, it's quite insightful for you to say so much, but you have a ball to do with the bushes? You mean the horse passed by and was hungry and gnawed?

Your heart eye is not missing, but how did it become a dead eye? I tell you, no magic is fixed, you look at Master Qin, people are often flexible, that's called living learning and application. Think about it, does this bait have to be pulled by a horse?

I slapped my head, and you mean motorcycles?

Bah! This road was made by people themselves! The bait crawled on the ground, dragging large brass bells on his feet. There will inevitably be times when you can't climb! Think about it, if you can't climb anymore, you have to climb forward. What will you do? Bai Kai looked back at me and said, with the help of external forces, you will want to grab what is in front of you! Understand? These plants are all dragged like this by human bait! I don't know how many people died on this road!

I gasped, this time it was really unexpected.

I looked up, and I was still a long way from the wall. Such a long road, it turned out that people were bait crawling from it alive and crawling out? I looked closely at both sides of the road, and every now and then I saw a shrub that had been dragged beyond recognition, and it didn't matter to me how many people had died on the road, but I was worried about why the bait would crawl towards the wall when there were no horses to drag it. Is it the instinct to survive? Or is it something else?

I said, Bai Kai, then why do you say that the bait climbs along this road? Is it to escape the filth? Instinctively heading towards a populated place?

Bai Kai looked back at me, and the team stopped suddenly.

In short, there are only two possibilities to do one thing, one is voluntary, and the other is forced. All things considered, there are only two possibilities. It's like I'm fucking not leaving now, do you think I'm volunteering? Lao Tzu sues you, Lao Tzu is forced!

Bai Kai dodged a little, and I suddenly saw a big deep ditch three or four meters wide in front of him. From my point of view, I can't see how deep the ditch is, but I can make Bai Kai stop, presumably this ditch is too easy for ordinary people to pass.

I walked to the edge of the ditch and was startled when I saw it. The ditch seemed bottomless. If you really fall without carelessness, it will be miserable. Looking left and right, the deep ditch continued to the end of the line of sight, obscured by bushes.

Bai Kai explored left and right. "The ditch seems to have been used to moat the city, and it surrounded the whole city."

At the moment, we are having some difficulties, trying to get around the ditch, but we are facing a more difficult situation. First, it is more dangerous to walk through various bushes and dense forests. And after spending a lot of body, eighty percent can only find the conclusions reached by Bai Kai. And to return here again. Second, this ditch width is honest, if you play life jump, you can still challenge it.

But the cost of failure is too great, and no one has the confidence to do so.

Qin Yiheng leaned over and touched the soil on the edge of the ditch. "It's sturdy, shall we try using rope?"

Good. I'll go first. Markham took two steps back, and threw his backpack over with a run.

"You let it". Markham Rong motioned for us to pull aside, took a few steps back, and with an acceleration, the person jumped straight over!

His series of movements are very coherent, and the landing is very light. It's really good.

Markham took out the rope from his bag and fastened it to the trunk of a tree not far away. Threw the rope over again. Hurry up.

Who do you look down on? Bai Kai snorted, didn't pick up the rope at all, but followed the example of Markham Rong and jumped over directly. Although the landing posture is a little ugly, it is also thrilling.

Now on this side of the ditch, there are only me and Qin Yiheng left.

When it comes to jumping, I'm really not confident. I could only obediently pull the rope, which was also fixed to the trunk of a tree, and I slid the bag over the rope first. Then I stayed where I was for a long time, and I couldn't find a proper position.

Because although Markham Rong was very well prepared this time, he didn't expect this situation after all. The rope is just in case and doesn't have a matching lock. I always felt that if I relied purely on my arm strength and walked over the rope, it would be safer to jump straight in.

Seeing that I hesitated, Qin Yiheng comforted me beside him and said, Jiang Shuo, don't worry. I'm watching from here, such a short distance, if you fall, Bai Kai and I will always have someone who can catch you.

I knew he was just comforting, but I still had some confidence in my heart. After thinking about it, it seems that the only way to do this is to hang upside down. But I've only seen this kind of footage a lot in movies, and I've never done it once.

When a person leans down on the rope, he feels that the rope is dangling. My legs immediately went limp.

Stiffened, crossed my legs to the rope, and with the help of Qin Yiheng's force, I slid to the middle of the ditch.

At this point, the previous nervousness has completely turned into fear. Fortunately, my face is facing the sky. The abyss below is not visible.

However, I don't know if my strength is useless, I have worked hard for a long time, but people have never moved. The cold sweat on my head was dropping off one by one. I know that the longer I delay, the easier it is to get moths.

But the more anxious I was, the more my body didn't obey. And I don't know if I was scared stupid, and a thought popped into my head at this time. Isn't this the purpose of those people's bait? these bait guys are going to fill this ditch?

Damn, then Lao Tzu will become one of them soon?

Such a distraction, coupled with the strength of the hand itself, is already at the limit.

The person fell slightly. Just when I was about to get out of my hands and shout that I didn't want to catch me.

Bai Kai swooped over and grabbed my sleeve. I reacted instantly, and my survival instinct made me use his strength to hurriedly crawl forward a few times. Finally to the other side of the ditch.

I was paralyzed on the ground for a while, and my heart said that it was thanks to this ditch that was short, but if it was a little longer, it would be said that it was white, and even the white dragon horse would not be able to save me.

Oh, I'm cāo, are you fat? What the hell is the secret of this siege? If it's to prevent people from getting in, as for digging such a deep ditch? Hey, old kitty, do you know?

Bai Kai's words reminded me, yes. It was a fortification. Look at the posture is really used to defend against people.

But to put it bluntly, the bait is just a disabled person, and the threat is not great. Is it necessary to use such a large project? We don't know the depth of this ditch for the time being, even if it is only ten meters deep, even if it is a large machine, this is a big project, not to mention this boundary, I am afraid that it can only rely on manpower. Damn, it's time to build the Great Wall!

I looked up at Qin Yiheng and wanted to know how he came over. But I saw Qin Yiheng standing on the edge of the ditch and looking at me all the time. I didn't mean to move for a long time.

Bai Kai urged him, and Qin Yiheng said, think about it, is the one in front of you contradictory? We can't go in lightly.

Because it was separated from the ditch, it was very inconvenient to speak, so Qin Yiheng thought about it before he also ran and jumped over. He patted the dirt on his body. He drew on the ground with a wooden branch and said, "Look, the bait wants to go in." And the city doesn't want people to get in. On the surface, this seems fine, but if you think about it. The bait is just a tool, the previous game was pulled by horses, and now even if there are no horses, there must be people who know how to drive, otherwise the bait will not all go in one direction, and it is impossible to run to the city by himself for no reason. And if the people in the city really want to guard against human bait, why not simply destroy the people who drive human bait from the source? There's no need to make a deep ditch out of it. ”

Yes? Bai Kai was puzzled, if so. Could it be that the people in this besieged city can't find the boss behind the scenes who drives people to bait? What game must be solved with human bait?

Seeing that Qin Yiheng didn't answer, Bai Kai naturally set his eyes on Markham.

That Markham Rong hadn't spoken before, squatting on the ground, and had been looking at us quietly.

"Mr. Qin still has some skills. I didn't really want to unravel the mystery so quickly. But now I don't want to waste time with you. This ditch is not a bait at all. Instead, they were worried that the things in the city would escape. This city is a prison at all! And at the bottom of this ditch there is a myriad of filth that you will not even perceive. If it weren't for this key, none of us would have been able to cross this ditch! Even you! Wan Jinrong pointed at Qin Yiheng and said, human bait is just a tool used to add filth to the ditch.
