CHAPTER XXI
A gloomy cavern, wide inside, how wide is it? At least hundreds of people are crowded here, but it doesn't seem crowded.
These people are all kinds of colors, most of them are dressed in tatters, and they have all kinds of strange magic equipment on their bodies, although they are in rags, almost all of them have a fierce light in their eyes, and only a few of them dodge their eyes and hold on to the equipment on their bodies, as if these lifeless weapons can give them a sense of security.
At this time, there were still people walking into the cave, and a person at the entrance of the cave was squatting on a stone with a notebook, and whenever a small group of people came to him to register, he would pick up a pen and draw a stroke on the notebook, his eyes were indifferent, and from time to time he looked at an hourglass placed next to him.
And in the middle of the cavern, a huge sandbox was placed, it was the same color as the canyon, with intricate lines, like an eye, and in between, there were countless deep wrinkles intertwined. It is full of flags, and every time a stroke is drawn on the notebook, a person next to the sandbox takes off the corresponding small flag.
Around the sandbox, a group of transcendents led by Fang Yan who were dressed more glamorously than the others stood there, quietly watching the sandbox that was constantly being modified.
Time passed so peacefully, until the sand in the hourglass had run out, the person at the entrance of the cave stood up, twisted his neck, picked up the notebook just now, glanced at it, and muttered in a low voice, "It seems that only the pair of living treasure brothers have not returned, but unfortunately, these two people are usually very funny......"
The transcendents in the center of the cave finally saw the whole picture of the sandbox, and the only small flag planted on it was particularly eye-catching.
"The result seems to be obvious," a bewitchingly dressed man beside Fang Yan spoke first, "The enemy entered from Line Three, and they should have been gathered together, and they were not scattered. ”
"Wouldn't it be too cruel to send these ordinary people to deliver the information obtained from death like this?" a man who looked relatively calm standing on the other side of Fang Yan couldn't help but say.
"Don't say that," the voluptuous man chuckled, "that's the only way they can realize their worth, or do you expect them to defeat those high sheriffs?"
"What's more, we don't have to worry about their mutiny, as soon as there is a slight change in their vital signs, they will understand the end of the situation, this is just a trivial sacrifice made for our cause. ”
Looking at the bewitching man's provocative expression, the calm man couldn't help but retort, "Then if I want to sacrifice you, are you willing!"
"If there's a place where I can get it, I'd love to. But," the bewitching man's eyes sharpened, "I would like to ask you to explain why all of our dark sentinels were wiped out in one morning. ”
The calm man's eyes widened, and his fists clenched, "Are you suspicious of me?"
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't doubt you. It's just that since you're in charge of these dark whistles, you should know something. His tone was aggressive.
The calm man's fists clenched even tighter, and he saw the eyes of others looking at him, including Lord Fang Yan's, suspicious eyes, and beads of sweat couldn't help but fall.
He didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't figure out why all the fifty-three outposts had lost contact in such a short period of time, and if they were still working, they wouldn't have used this method to find out the enemy's route.
From this point of view, he is mainly responsible, not only for the loss of the dark whistle, but also because he has to use this clumsy method. But after an afternoon of investigation, it can be regarded as a bit of gain, "I know what you mean, if you want to dismantle these secret sentinels accurately, you need not only accurate information in such a short period of time, but also enough strength, and it seems that the murderer is very likely to be among us." He responded to everyone's gazes, and the others looked at them in some surprise, and a few even nodded quietly.
"That's what everyone thinks," but the next moment he changed his words, "but after my investigation, the murderer is definitely someone else." ”
Then, he took out a few magic maps from under his robe and handed them to Fang Yan beside him. The Motuo is an image created with a dual-system magic guide device, which can be imagined as a photograph taken with a camera, but only in black and white.
"I took these pictures at the scene," the calm man pointed to Fang Yan as he pointed to the corpses on the Motuo map, "Please see the traces on these corpses." ”
Fang Yan looked at it carefully, and it was obvious that the corpses were all injured by one blow, some were from chest dents or fatal parts with heavy blows, and some were directly penetrated from the heart or brain.
"You're trying to say that there were two murderers, a boxer and a gunman. Fang Yan handed the Magic Tuo Diagram in his hand to the others and asked the calm man.
"Yes, my lord," the sedate man bowed his head, "and you know that none of us have these two professions. ”
"This is not necessarily, anyway, the opponent is some ordinary people, not good at it, it doesn't mean that it can't be used, you say yes. The bewitching man looked at the picture in his hand and continued to question.
The calm man's face was displeased, he knew very well that the bewitching man was targeting him, but he didn't care too much, because he had decisive evidence, "If you look closely, you will find that the wound of the boxing has obvious burn marks, and the skin around the wound of the shooting is relatively burned, this is not the kind of black scorch that is burned by fire, but more like a scorch that is pierced by thunder." ”
After saying that, he smiled, "And in our place, the only flame type demon source attribute is dead, but the thunder system," At this point, he stared at the bewitching man, "It seems that it is only you." ”
In an instant, everyone's eyes looked at the bewitching man, and felt everyone's suspicious eyes, and the bewitching man panicked, because after he observed carefully, he found that the traces were indeed as the calm man said, "Good guy, you turned the finger at me." So I thought.
The bewitching man still wanted to refute, but Fang Yan immediately relieved her: "Okay, enough trouble," Fang Yan said to the calm man, "I know you still have something to say, I think you already have some answer in your heart, say it quickly." ”
The calm man smiled, "It's worthy of Lord Fang Yan, indeed, this guy can't be a murderer." ”
At this time, the eyes of the others looking at the calm man were full of puzzlement, and the feelings of the two of you are playing.
The calm man took out a small piece of black stuff, the size of his thumb, and handed it to Fang Yan, "My lord, please take a look." ”
It had lost its original shape, and had now turned into a small irregular piece of black solid, which felt like it was charred to the touch.
Fang Yan didn't speak, he pinched it slightly, "This is a piece of lead bullet that has been deformed, and there are traces of the activity of the thunder demon source," his eyes lit up, "The user should also be at the level of green feathers, but the nature of this thunder demon source is completely inconsistent with yours." The second half of the sentence was addressed to the bewitching man.
"Your thunder is more inclined to burst, and the thunder element activity in this is more inclined to speed, which is very gunner-like. After speaking, he crushed the lead bullet in his hand with one hand.
Hearing Fang Yan's affirmation, the bewitching man finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to continue to express his opinion on the calm man.
Seeing that the bewitching man had lost the idea of continuing to attack him, the calm man continued, "Your Excellency is right, the murderer should have taken all the buckshots, but he missed this one," paused for a moment, and continued, "This is what I pulled out of a person's head, it just got stuck between two bones, and it didn't penetrate directly. ”
Hearing this, Fang Yan's face was slightly stunned, and he silently took out a handkerchief and wiped the hand that had crushed the lead bullet just now.
The people around him stared at him a little dumbfounded, "Look at what!" Fang Yan shouted in a low voice, "Go on!"
"I did my best to reconstruct the prototype of this lead bullet, and based on the materials left inside, I deduced that it was a bullet for the sheriff. The calm man hurriedly said, "If all the above conditions are met, it should be said that there are two Qingyu-level sheriffs lurking around us for a long time. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone quieted down, even Fang Yan stopped wiping his hands, for a long time, "It's really interesting, Fang Yun and I didn't even notice it." ”
"But there's no more time to worry about that now. After Fang Yan finished speaking, he turned to the calm man, "You hurry up and take the two Qing Yu ones, go back to inform Fang Yun, and help evacuate, the most important thing is to beware of those two guys in the shadows." ”
"Yes!" the calm man hurriedly responded, and immediately rushed out of the cave, and the other two people who were standing beside him just now also followed him and rushed out.
"As for you," Fang Yan turned to the bewitching man again, "now that the enemy's location has been determined, you should know where their next route will be." ”
"The subordinates understand. The bewitching man bent down and saluted.
"Take those featherless and ambush the enemy, I don't expect you to destroy much, the important thing is to delay them. Fang Yan's gaze was cold and full of majesty, "You said that you were willing to sacrifice for the organization, hoping that it would be more than just words. ”
"The subordinates receive the order. After speaking, the bewitching man's eyes were full of determination, and he walked up to the ordinary people who were squatting on the ground in twos and threes, "Take your weapons! Now, follow me!"
Hearing his order, these people did not dare to disobey, and quickly stood up and followed his footsteps, but it was the opposite road to the calm man.
As the distance between the two groups of people became farther and farther apart, the night became deeper and deeper......
Jiang Heng opened his eyes uncomfortably, sat up, and his sleepy eyes were hazy, "Sure enough, I will lose sleep when I change the bed, let alone sleep on the stone directly." ”
Jiang Heng jumped down from a stone, this stone is quite special, but it is nothing special, it is especially like a bed.
"I carved it into the shape of a bed in my bedroom. Jiang Heng thought about it as he stretched his waist and relaxed his muscles.
He looked up to the sky, there were mountains on both sides of the canyon, and the sun was still in sight, and he remembered that it must have been about late last night before he saw the moon. However, the fresh light revealed also indicated that it was already morning.
"Okay, keep going!" Jiang Heng hesitated, ready to continue to move towards the depths of the canyon, although there are many forks in the road, although they are all the same, but I believe that as long as you don't go around in circles, you can definitely come to the end.
As long as you can take one step, one more step, there will be a third, fourth, fifth, sixth, "Oops!"
Feeling the soreness of the moment in the big toe of his left foot, Jiang Heng knew that he was about to fall, maybe there would be one more pedestrian hole on the ground after waiting for a while.
However, it turns out that imagination is not equal to reality, a simple one, support your hands forward, raise your legs back, use your palms hard, and then flip into the air three hundred and sixty degrees and then land smoothly.
"What tripped me?"
Jiang Heng looked back, and a stone that had been embedded in the ground, only half the size of a palm, which was exposed, attracted his attention.
"Why does this stone give me a different feeling than the others?" With such a question, Jiang Heng carefully picked it out.
This is an ordinary stone, irregular edges and corners, rough texture, thick weight, the only thing to say is any different, "This color," Jiang Heng looked at it carefully.
It can be seen roughly as a trihedron, the largest of which is reddish and the others are grayish, as if, "some animal's blood has been splashed on it." ”
Jiang Heng thought so, but, "Why do I have an inexplicable sense of familiarity?" he raised the stone high, the crimson side covered the sunlight shining on his vision, and Jiang Heng, who had closed one eye, stared carefully.
But he couldn't see anything famous, so he put down the stone and looked around again, "And since entering this canyon, this inexplicable familiarity has grown stronger, as if," his gaze was fixed on the depths of the canyon, where something was waiting for him.
"Forget it, don't think about it yet. Jiang Heng's main purpose was to think about things that he didn't understand, and it was useless to think about it, so he put away the stone and put it into his right waist bag, but he didn't notice that when he got close to the stone, a glimmer of light flashed in the bracelet of his right hand.
Of course, he didn't notice that the muzzles of several tooth peaks not far away, the path between the bottom of the gorge and the peak of the gorge, were aimed at him.
