Chapter Seventy-Seven: Another Escape
These days, Dong Muya is still trying to decipher the picture day and night, but she still finds nothing. First of all, the symbols on the diagram, she didn't think they had ever appeared anywhere, at least not in the materials she had read. And the painting, though it looked like some kind of array, didn't correspond to any of the arrays she had in her hands.
She regretted more and more that she shouldn't have asked WiseMan to meet with her so forcefully that day, because no matter how many times she searched her computer for information about the image, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he never showed up again. She had to pray that he was doing some kind of ideological struggle, at least that way, she would have a glimmer of hope to ask him for help.
In fact, she has always been reluctant to rely on others, and from the moment she decided that she wanted to become the administrator of the underground database, she became unusually independent, because she knew that the path she chose was destined to be lonely, even with her family.
But recently, she has become more and more dependent on this WiseMan, who is obviously a heinous person who will hack into other people's computers to spy on other people's privacy, and even turn on her camera to spy on her. But his talent and ability are more and more impressive to her, he is like a combination of angels and demons, and like a ghost wandering the Internet, elusive but awe-inspiring.
Once again, she used a piece of software on her computer to compare that image with all the array maps she owned, and although she knew that most of them would still find nothing, there was nothing else she could do, and the dialog box that had disappeared for a few days suddenly popped up at this point.
WiseMan: Looks like you're still stuck in the same place.
NoName: yes, you've been watching my jokes in the dark these days, right?
WiseMan: I would never look at anyone's jokes because I don't have that time to waste.
NoName: If you don't want to show up anyway, then I won't force you.
WiseMan: Unlike what I think you think, I think you should be more persistent.
NoName: The most important thing is to be able to unravel this diagram right now.
WiseMan: Let me ask you a question first, why do you care about other worlds as a human being?
NoName: Maybe it's for someone special from that world.
Dong Muya didn't know why she told the truth to this strange WiseMan, and at this moment she intuitively wanted to gain his trust, she had to be open and honest with him, and using tricks might not be effective for a person as smart as him. WiseMan on the other side was silent for a moment, and then reappeared on the dialog box.
WiseMan: The image you have in your hand is also inextricably linked to two of my most important people, so I'm going to unravel it, not only to help you, but also to myself. I had to get the original picture of it, and I knew that if I didn't show up in person, it would be a bit difficult for me to leave it.
NoName: What do you mean?
Dong Muya heard a turning point in his words.
WiseMan: If you want to unravel this diagram, you have to be at my place, and I will let you know soon when and where we will meet.
The Underground City of Chi Rum has been locked down for a few days since a few teenagers from Intramuros broke into the East Side Hotel. Although they have fled the city, the mysterious man who has been lurking in the hotel and assisting them at the last moment seems to be still here.
The city lord salamander demon salamander came to the door of the east inn tremblingly, even the little demon guarding the door obviously did not respect him so much, and only let him go when he nodded and bowed.
He was greeted by Blackfall at the door, leading him up the spiral staircase, reaching the third floor, passing through the narrow hallway, stopping outside the door of the head room, and then Blackfall silently chanted a spell, and the door was opened from the inside.
There is an enchantment on this door, and apart from Qingyun himself and Blackfall, even when Yaksha and Mother Rakshasa are opened, it looks like an ordinary hotel room. However, the incantation recited by Qingyun and Blackfall will cause the entrant to penetrate the barrier and enter the world within the barrier in a short period of time.
The room was very cold and dark, and the salamanders, who had always liked the heat and resisted the cold, could not help but shiver. It wasn't the first time he'd been here, but he had never seen Qingyun's true face, he was always behind a thick, airtight curtain, but the mere hearing of his voice was enough to terrify him.
"Master, the city lord salamander is here!" Blackfall walked over to the curtain and lowered his head.
"Come closer!" A weak call came from behind the curtain.
"Yes!" The salamander quickly and reluctantly moved to the curtain.
"For a long time, I have lived in your place to recuperate, although you don't say it, but you must have wanted to send me away for a long time!" The voice behind the curtain asked.
Hearing his words, the salamander trembled again with fright, and almost fell, and then replied tremblingly: "How dare the little one, if the little one has the slightest such thought, let the little one die here immediately." ”
"Huh." The person behind the curtain sneered and continued, "This time, the descendants of the Demon King Fox easily entered your city, came to me to make a fuss and then left with a swagger, do you have anything to say?" ”
"It's all because of the small greed for money, so they will neglect the management of the people who come and go here, and there will never be such a situation again in the future. But the small ones don't want to make more money for themselves, the little ones want to buy you more rare elixirs and supplements, so that you can recover as soon as possible. The salamander felt like her heart was about to stop.
"Hmph, if you weren't so useful, you wouldn't be alive today."
"The little one understands, the little one understands!"
"The mysterious person who jumped out at that critical moment to help the demon king fox and them escape should still be in the city, I will give you three more days, if you can't catch him, you don't have to appear in front of me again." After Qingyun finished speaking, he stopped talking.
"Yes, yes!" The salamander retreated.
In Elysium, in a gloomy basement, a woman in blue swung in, holding a steaming meal and a small pot of soju.
The woman put the food down and said, "Brother Shadow, I've put it here!" ”
The dark shadow sitting in the corner of the basement moved to a brighter place and said, "Thank you, girl!" ”
"Where, I have been taken care of so much by Lingyu before, it is rare for him to ask me for such a thing. It's just ......" the girl stopped talking.
The man picked up the flask and took a sip directly at the spout and asked, "How's the situation outside?" ”
"There are still a lot of goblins patrolling the streets, and the gates haven't been opened yet, and it's been days. I'll definitely find a way to get you out, after all, hiding here is not a long-term solution, I'm afraid they'll find you soon! ”
The girl in blue, known as Leng Anger, is a descendant of one of the weaker branches of the Rakshasa clan, and she is still a young man and an orphan, and she was sold to the Elysium of Chi Mimir at a young age. When she first arrived, she was thin and small, underage, bullied everywhere, and could only do the hardest and most tiring work, not only often did she not have enough to eat, but she was also beaten by the people in the store at every turn.
Only Lingyu is good to her, often saying that she can't eat it and throws it away, but at the same time stuffs food to her, or uses tricks to make those who are difficult for her to make a fool of her, after a long time, everyone knows Lingyu's closeness with her and dare not provoke her.
Lingyu's kindness to her may be because they are connected by the same fate, and they have also been helpless since they were children, sending people under the fence and looking at people's faces everywhere. She regards Ling Yu as her number one benefactor, and the only benefactor in her life, but she never has a chance to repay his kindness, this time she can finally help his friend, she couldn't be happier in her heart, how could she think about whether it is dangerous.
On that day, Mochizuki dragged the Rakshasa Mother and the Yaksha to cover Ouyang Xiaoleng and their departure. A fierce battle with him at the East Side Hotel, and although he tried his best to get out of it as quickly as possible, he still couldn't get out of the Red Mir Dungeon before the lockdown.
He remembered that Ling Yu had told him before that if something happened, he would go to the cold anger in the Elysian Kingdom for help, so he avoided the heavy inspections and went straight to Fengyue Street. Because Ling Yu had already instructed Leng to make him a friend of Big Brother Shadow, as soon as Mochizuki reported the fake name of Shadow, Leng Ha treated him politely, not only helping him hide in a basement in Elysium, but also sending him three meals a day, because the basement was cold, so she sometimes brought him some soju to warm up the cold.
Mochizuki was full of gratitude to this affectionate and righteous cold girl, but at the same time, he was a little reluctant to go, with his current situation, he might not be affected by her, and the best solution was for him to escape from the dungeon as soon as possible, so as not to startle the snake.
He remembered that when he was lurking in the East Side Hotel, he had heard from the people inside that the city lord Salamander would send people from outside the city every forty-nine days to bring back precious elixirs and tonics to their masters, so that the next opening of the city should be in the near future. This is the best time for him to escape from here, and it is a good time to miss it.
After calculating the time, he hurriedly said goodbye to Leng Yan, and took advantage of the night to ambush not far from the city gate. In the early morning, there are many gold diggers gathered there, the closure of the city in the past few days has also blocked their financial routes, and they can't go out to find sand gold, for these money slaves, the desire to get out of the city may be no less than Mochizuki. Mochizuki saw at a glance that Lao Yang was also among them, and he didn't know if his sudden disappearance had aroused Lao Yang's suspicions, and whether Qingyun's subordinates had ever asked him.
Nearly ten o'clock in the middle of the day, the demon soldiers defending the city began to drive away the gold diggers blocking the city gates, and Mochizuki guessed that the convoy sent out of the city to collect elixirs and supplements was coming back, so he cheered up his spirits. At this time, Mother Rakshasa and Yaksha were walking towards the city gate from a distance with a group of men, and Mochizuki thought that they must have been sent to prevent anyone from escaping when the gate was opened, but he couldn't care so much about it.
After a while, a signal came from outside the city gate, and the demon soldiers also heard the sound and opened the city gate. Every cell in Mochizuki's body was in a state of extreme excitement, ready to fly out of the city like an arrow from a string. He had to seize the moment when the men who had returned from outside the gates had just walked in, and the gates were still not closed, to take the sand camel from one of them and leave.
He held his breath and counted down silently in his mind, three ...... Two...... One, and then it bounced out.
Almost at the same time that those people stepped into the city gate, he had already come to the front of the city gate, waved a few swords to put down the demon soldiers in front of him, and then flew up and stepped on the heads of other demon soldiers, and then with the power of the spinning down, he swung his sword and cut down the man riding on the body of a sand camel, and he sat on the back of the sand camel beast.
Everything that had just happened seemed to be in an instant, and Mother Rakshasa and Yaksha paused for a few seconds before they could react, but it was too late. Mochizuki twisted the reins of the sand camel to the side to turn around, and as soon as he clamped it on the back, it began to run with its hooves open, leading him out of the gate.
