The car drove close to Honglou Square, and Elder Tu took out his mobile phone to call: "We have arrived, clean up the scene, defend it tightly, and now the suspicious person will be taken down immediately." Also, pay attention to the air situation, if there is an aerial camera appearing, shoot it down. ”

I let it go, closing my eyes and resting every now and then, forcing myself to chase away the strange things that were going on in my head.

Until now, I haven't thought of any good way to get the mural without damage, so I can only take it one step at a time.

Instead of entering the church, the car drove into the old school of Shandong University, and kept moving backwards, stopping next to a billboard near the north wall of the campus.

"Let's go down through another secret entrance, Mr. Xia, brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are golden. I believe that this time it will be a win-win situation, so we should not hide each other, but should be open and honest, and if there are problems to be discussed, then we will know who is right and who is wrong. "Elder Tu.

I observed the situation outside the car window, and I didn't pay attention to Elder Tu's words.

Soon, two men in gray school worker uniforms ran over and opened our car door.

"Elder Tu, let's go, it's all ready. "One of them.

"There was no movement in the tunnels, and there were no anomalies in the secret room. Another addition.

"Let's go. "Elder Tu.

The two of us got out of the car and followed the two men to the northwest.

This area is the dormitory area of teachers and school workers, and you can't see the scene of students studying hard. This is the peak time for adults to send their children to school.

I shuddered, and the panic was even stronger than when I was at the new university. The new school is full of teachers and students, all adults, and they have their own understanding of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. When disaster strikes, everyone scatters and flees, and there will be no major casualties. On the other hand, each family here has one or two children, and when the disaster comes, the children have no power to protect themselves.

Thinking deeper, the wishful thinking of all the social saboteurs is also very good, hiding their nests under the school, so that the patrol police and special police outside do not dare to act rashly, otherwise they will stage a particularly serious evil thing of burning jade.

The thought of this made my steps suddenly heavy and slow. Actually, I don't know what kind of secret is hidden in the Western mural, and if I mess with its position, it will cause chaos in the world. In other words, although I came here with Elder Tu, deep down I was always uneasy, not knowing whether this trip was a blessing or a curse.

"Mr. Xia, don't worry too much, there is a tall man on top of the sky when the sky falls!" Elder Tu patted me on the shoulder and joked with me.

"It's not funny. "I was straightforward.

When the heavens fall, the people of the earth are finished. Under the nest, no one can survive without eggs, just like those who are sucked dry and turned into human skin.

"Hehehehe......" Elder Tu laughed.

In his opinion, of course, he will not think of the future of Jinan City, nor will he consider the negative harm caused by Western murals.

When we arrived at a bamboo fence, the two men opened the door and invited us in.

There are three bungalows in the courtyard, and the doors and windows are covered from the inside by a blue curtain, and nothing can be seen.

"Are the other three elders inside?" asked Elder Tu.

The two nodded, "Yes, just wait inside." ”

Elder Tu led the way and pushed open the two wooden doors. In an instant, a choking gray smoke came out of the door, and the strange smell of dry smoke almost knocked me to the ground, but fortunately I was stopped by Elder Tu.

It took half a minute, and when the smoke cleared, Elder Tu pulled me in.

In the middle of the room is a table of eight immortals, with four chairs next to the table, arranged according to the direction of the east, west, north and south four winds. There were already three people sitting on the chairs, one suave and hand-cranked folding fan, one with a gloomy face and a nose like an eagle's hook, and one with a beard and obvious traces of the life of the northern nomads.

"Elder Zhuo, Elder Lin, Elder Meng......"

Elder Tu arched his hand, and his attitude was very respectful.

Those three people occupied the chairs in the north, east, and west directions, and the only chair left for me and Elder Tu was the one in the south.

"Plans have changed. The mild-mannered Elder Zhuo shook his folding fan, "Let's wait a little longer, and then we will go down the tunnel when that friend arrives." Lao Tu, you came too slowly, and there was a big problem with the message that came in, which caught us off guard, and we had to work together to make up for the hole. Next time, no matter what you do, try to make it as refreshing as possible, and don't drag it out. Now, you sit down, and I'll reschedule the task. ”

Although this person's face is kind, his words are sharp, and he only speaks to Elder Tu, and he doesn't even look at me.

Elder Tu nodded: "Yes, I will definitely pay attention next time." Elder Zhuo, Mr. Xia I invited has already arrived, why don't we all discuss it together? He has entered the tunnel and knows a little about the situation in that secret room, if he can join us in the discussion, it will definitely be of great benefit to the action. What about you?"

Elder Zhuo closed his fan with a snort and pointed unceremoniously at Elder Tu: "Old Tu, my words don't work anymore? There are only four chairs at this table, and if you want to invite someone else to sit down, you have to give up your place." Would you like to?"

The other two sneered together, and their attitudes were extremely bad.

Elder Tu lowered his head and sat silently on the remaining chair.

I never spoke, just watched coldly at the performance of the three elders of the beggar gang.

That chair didn't attract me, on the contrary, I was very interested in Elder Zhuo's upcoming guest. If someone knows more about Western murals than I do, the burden on my shoulders will be lighter, and my chances of success will be greater.

"Tonight's incident, the capital is very satisfied with our performance, and has already transferred a sum of money, and the brothers in the gang who participated in the operation are each 1,000 yuan in cash. "Elder Zhuo again.

"The Red Sleeves participated in the final clearance, and it should be rewarding. Elder Tu responded.

Elder Zhuo shrugged his shoulders: "Harvest? The distinguished guests in the capital don't care about this at all, because even Bai Xiaosheng is their person. What is harvested or not is of little significance to us. Now, I only care about whether I can get the Western murals smoothly, and then hand them over to the gold owner, and receive the bounty of 100 million after tax. Ladies and gentlemen, with this 100 million, the beggars will be able to successfully get through the economic downturn, roll up their sleeves, and continue to work hard. Hehehehehe......"

100 million is absolutely astronomical, and for the impoverished beggars, it is simply a windfall.

"Therefore, we must not make mistakes, we must all go out, divide into three ambush circles, outer, middle and inner, and swear to defend the fruits of victory. "Elder Zhuo.

"Why don't we take a look at the situation in the tunnel?" Elder Tu suggested.

Elder Zhuo nodded: "Okay, you should indeed watch it a few more times to know yourself and your opponent." Someone, send the monitoring signal to the projector—"

The two men came in, turned on the projector, and plugged in the signal cable, and the large screen on the side immediately showed a picture of the tunnel under the church.

I've been to that place once, but the impression in my mind is already very strong.

The picture moves forward, gradually approaching the secret room, and finally freezes on the door of the secret room, and the focus falls on the Western mural.

To be sure, the depiction technology and firing process of the murals are absolutely first-class, and they are not comparable to modern assembly line products.

"In a few moments, it will be in front of us. "Elder Zhuo.

I regret Elder Zhuo's words, he probably hasn't been to that place, so he has no idea how dangerous the secret room is.

"It's a good painting. Elder Tu followed Elder Zhuo's words.

"Lao Tu, do you think this painting is very good, what is so good, come and hear about it?" Elder Zhuo asked.

Elder Tu was speechless for a while, not knowing what to do.

I could have relieved Elder Tu from the siege, but the situation was unclear at the moment, so I simply remained silent and let these four beggar elders who were not in harmony with each other fight for wit.

"Old Tu, don't talk about it, even the gold lord doesn't know what secrets are in this mural, let alone you and me?" Elder Zhuo taught Elder Tu again.

Elder Tu nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I remembered, thank you Elder Zhuo for your teachings." ”

The picture continues to zoom in, and the mural occupies the entire projection screen.

I paid close attention to the dragon-shaped beast, its size and robustness were almost invincible in the Cold Weapon Age, and although there were one hundred and eight heroes on the other side, it was far inferior in momentum.

Therefore, the person who made this mural in the first place used it as the main character, and the human beings on the other end only existed as a foil.

Here, I have an inappropriate idea – "those people...... Looking at the situation at the moment, the dragon is definitely in control of the situation, and is not afraid of the weapons in the hands of humans at all. ”

From this mural, I thought of a very famous war movie "Alien vs. Predator". In that Hollywood blockbuster, the aliens that humans see as a threat of catastrophe are instead the objects of training for alien warriors. Throughout the battle, humans become spectators, neither hunters nor prey, but ants at the feet of Xenomorphs and Predators.

The same is true of this mural, the dragon-shaped beast that treats these one hundred and eight people as food to his mouth, and can eat them whenever he wants, and trample them at will.

Since the beginning of human history, humans have regarded themselves as the masters of this planet, claiming to be higher animals, and can hunt, enslave, and captive any other animal at will. Therefore, all art forms, television and movies are based on the theme of "human victory over the natural world", which is the main theme of the human world, which can never be changed.

"If this mural depicts the natural rules of another world...... Where will that world be? Could it be that the dangerous building and the black dragon I saw in the illusion are that world? Through the secret room and the underground transportation road, you can reach that place? King Qin will go to great lengths to open the tunnel under the Hongjialou church, is it to enter that world, not to enter the mirror room in a roundabout way? What is the relationship between that world and the mirror room? What is the purpose of the Qin King Society? Who is the financial master behind the four elders of the Beggar Gang...... My mind was filled with all sorts of question marks, and each one of them was a terrifying risk.

"Hehe, I've been thinking a lot, the characters in the mural look a little familiar. A few years ago, when I was in the capital, I went to the Panjiayuan cultural relics market to wander around, and happened to see a set of rare embroidered portraits of one hundred and eight generals in Liangshan, Shuibo, and the characters in it were similar to the characters on the mural. However, no one has an eye for the future, and if I could have predicted what is happening today, I should have bought the album earlier and studied it carefully. Elder Zhuo sneered.

Elder Lin and Elder Meng laughed in agreement, these two people were disdainful of Elder Tu, but they were very flattering to Elder Zhuo, and the four eyes of the two of them were always looking at Elder Zhuo's face.
