Chapter 38: The Underwater Cave

Although the key has been found, people still don't know how to trigger it. Chris came to the approximate location of the first person to disappear and went around for a long time but nothing happened.

The others were still crouching next to the statue, and although Chris had picked it up just now and nothing had happened, they still didn't dare to touch it.

Just then, Chris squeezed through the crowd and picked up the statue again. Walk towards the place where the first person disappeared.

"I've picked it up a few times, don't be so cowardly. There's nothing special about where the townsfolk disappear, I'll see if holding the statue can trigger something. ”

As soon as the words fell, the person also came to the place where the first person disappeared. When people arrive, they disappear in an instant. Only the glittering statue of Cthulhu remained.

Bob, Chris's loyal little brother, didn't care about his own safety at this time, rushed up and picked up the statue of Cthulhu, but nothing happened, he didn't disappear on the spot like Chris.

"What's going on, Boss?" said Bob growled out of control.

Then, as if remembering something, he frantically rushed to the place where the second person had disappeared. As soon as he stepped in, he also disappeared.

"Now the clue is very clear, that is, take the statue of Cthulhu and go to the place where the townspeople disappeared in turn, and you can go to an unknown place, I personally estimate that it is an underwater temple. Chen Long said

Weng Tianyang nodded and picked up the conversation:

"The problem is, there are only about twelve places, and now that the two of them have taken up two, how should the remaining ten be distributed?"

"The five of us are definitely going to go, plus Laporte and God, that's seven people, and if there are three more powerful ones from the Brotherhood, there should be no danger above. ”

Chen Long and Weng Tianyang stood up and walked to the middle of the crowd to relay their ideas.

When the time came to see the truth in adversity, there were more than ten thugs, only five dared to go down, the boss who followed them, and the others hesitated, it seemed that they didn't want to go down. In the same way, God also pulled his crotch at this time, and he didn't go to death. The plan had to be changed, and the gangsters sent out four people to let God guard the house here. When passing by God, Chen Long also specially explained, "If something strange happens, don't worry about the gangsters, just protect yourself." ”

After explaining the explanation, the new team went to the place where the townsfolk disappeared one by one and picked up the statue of Cthulhu.

The moment Chen Long held the statue, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and the back of his head felt like someone had knocked him with a stick, and he was dizzy. When I woke up again, I was in an underground cave.

Then, one by one, the others appeared in the underground cavern. The first thing everyone does is touch the back of their heads, which feels very cool.

Fortunately, the dizziness came and went quickly. When everyone cleared their minds and looked intently, it was Chris and Bob sitting on the stone block in front of them, holding a statue of Cthulhu in their hands.

Seeing that the boss was safe and sound, Chris's younger brothers rushed up to give the boss a hug and cursed the ungrateful guys outside.

Chen Long took out a portable flashlight from his trouser pocket and began to explore the surrounding environment. The same is true for the other four. As for Laporte and the gangsters, none of them had a light source, so they could only follow the light of Chen Long's team to explore around.

"Eh, I remember, we teleported here, and the Cthulhu statue wasn't going to follow, what do you have on your hand?"

"This isn't the gold statue out there, it's just a stone statue that I picked up nearby. ”

Chen Long moved the flashlight over and found that the statue on Chris's hand was not gold, but dark green. This color is more depicting Cthulhu.

There are three roads in front of the cave. Chen Long proposed that familiar people are in the same team, understand each other, and cooperate better. As a result, the twelve men were divided into a team of Brotherhood people, Chen Long and Laporte team, and the others team. At Chris's strong request, Weng Tianyang was forced to contribute his flashlight, showing great reluctance.

Now that the group has been divided, the next step is to choose the path. Chris took the lead and walked to the right-hand side first, Chen Long and Laporte chose the middle, and the others had to take the left road.

When everyone had traveled a short distance, Chen Long stopped Laporte, and at the same time, Weng Tianyang on the left-hand side of the road stopped the others.

Weng Tianyang didn't know where to come from, and took out another flashlight.

"Why are you playing tricks here? Why do you still have a flashlight, then you still had a look of eating Xiang just now. Seeing Weng Tianyang take out his novice flashlight with an expressionless face, the strong contrast with his expression a few minutes ago, Lu Lingfeng couldn't help but complain.

Lu Lingyu knocked on Lu Lingfeng and said in his ear:

"How did you learn the same as Chen Long. ”

"It's not a big problem, I've always been well prepared. Weng Tianyang replied.

"I'm telling you to stop, mainly to talk to you about Chris. ”

"Chris, what's wrong with him?" Laporte on the other side was also confused.

"Don't you think he knows everything? None of us dared to pick up the Cthulhu statue, and he looked nervous and picked it up, which was not in his usual style. Moreover, he was the first to notice that there was a problem with the sacrifice, the first to notice that someone had disappeared, and the first to find a way to teleport. Don't you think it's a bit too coincidental to have so many firsts?" Chen Long asked rhetorically.

"You have a point, but, when asked in the morning whether he knew anything about this place, his doubts did not seem to be fake, and I could tell that he really did not understand this. How do you explain that?"

"Do you remember when I asked him about Leon? Actually, Leon's notebook is incomplete, and there are many missing pages, and we don't know the story in between. ”

"You mean, you suspect that Leon told him these things?" Laporte's mind was still quite fast.

"The diary came to an abrupt end when Leon was about to go to the temple, with a missing page in front and a blank in the back, and we cannot rule out that he had returned to the town in the middle, found Chris, told him something, and warned him not to go to Stelet. That's why he didn't investigate Stret's details after that, and he didn't know Stret. Although he didn't understand Stret, he knew some secret, ways to enter the temple, it was possible, and now the question was, how much did Chris know, and what was the real purpose of his coming here. ”

After Weng Tianyang on the other side finished speaking, he continued on the road, but Chen Long had no intention of continuing to move forward.

Chen Long looked at Laporte and continued to ask:

"And one more question, what are you here for?"

Laporte looked at Chen Long's eyes, and the atmosphere froze a little.

Laporte thought about it, and it was still a showdown. He found a stone on the side, sat down, and told Chen Long about the past in the borderlands.

"Co-author, you're the mentor to the investigator who died here? You're here to get justice. ”

"Yes, I think that by being honest with you, you can help me better. We take what we need. ”

"It's okay to cooperate, but I warn you in advance, we may not be able to get out alive, if you feel that something is wrong with your spirit, you have to finish yourself quickly, otherwise, our big gang of people will not be enough for you to slaughter, let alone find out the truth. ”

"Okay, I believe in you, I've always been very accurate in my opinion. ”

"I'm really going to put gold on my face. Alright, get up, go. ”

With that, the two got up and hit the road.
