Chapter 226: The Wilderness

Xiang Zhong walked out of the closed room angrily, only to find that there was no one in the entire corridor, and even the daily guards couldn't see it.

There are two passages in front of him, one stretches to the left front, and the other stretches to the right front, Xiang Zhong looked at the empty corridor, the corridor was very long, and there was no end in sight. I saw the green jade paving the ground, the red jade building the wall, and the roof of the cave shining, which could cause him some trouble, the professor said that he was going to, but he didn't know where the toilet was, and there was no one to ask.

"Hey, anyone!"

"Anyone!"

"People!"

。。。。。。

Xiang Zhong howled loudly, but what answered him was a series of his own echoes. He wanted to go back and ask the damn computer, the guy who likes to brag about himself, or get a map of this underground space from it, but when he turned around, he found that the huge steel door behind him was closed. He clapped it with his hand, but he couldn't make a sound at all.

There was no way, Xiang Zhong looked at the two almost identical passages, and tried to recall the scene when he came in, unfortunately, he and Liu Han seemed to have been teleported here through a special passage, and he had not walked through these two passages

He relied on the most simple natural law of male left and female right to choose the passage on the right. He tried to get out of these magical caves, but the road was winding and turning into countless paths, and he could no longer find an exit. Even, even the way he walked back had changed, and only now did Xiang Zhong understand that what he walked into was actually a maze that could move.

He searched for dry intestines, like an Arab fisherman recalling that mysterious magic mantra could open Ali Baba's cave.

But it was all useless, and the road ahead of him was split in two before his eyes, and he had thought of relying on the left-handed principle and kept walking on the right, but this path seemed to be impassable.

As the saying goes, the love field is frustrated, the casino is proud, he has never been in the casino, and it is impossible to verify whether he can be proud or not, but people who have been unlucky for a long time sometimes encounter unexpected good luck, and Xiang Zhong has encountered this kind of good luck now.

Before this, the plan in Xiang Zhong's mind was still vague, but now it is slowly clear.

Two hours later, when a stone door slowly opened in front of him, he came to the surface.

He didn't care that the stone door behind him slowly closed and returned to its original appearance: it blended in with the surrounding rocks, and even if you looked closely, you couldn't tell that it was a door.

In the distance, the top of the mountain was dyed blood-red by the fiery sun, which set off the blue sky.

In the distance, there is a small island like a hill, the face of which is very clear, and everything on the island is vivid. This is because the atmosphere is particularly bright and transparent at sunset.

This island is unique, with a lush green top, but a single rock at the bottom, which is a stark contrast between the top and bottom, reminiscent of the seawater underneath.

Xiang Zhong looked very eagerly at the mountain rock, on which the twilight was changing, from the lightest pink to the deepest dark blue, and the blood was pouring into his face, his forehead was sometimes clouded, and his eyes were sometimes a mist.

What made Xiang Zhong strange was that from beginning to end, until now, he raised his eyes and looked around, everywhere was desolate, except for the top of the mountain, there was not even a little green, here, it was more like a desert.

His current idea was to climb to the top of that island, and through there, maybe he could determine where he should go next, or he could meet people and ask them what was going on here, so that the people here would disappear mysteriously as if they had evaporated.

Even if a gambler who gambles all his family wealth to death with Yibo, the pain he has experienced may not be as intense as Xiang Zhong felt when he was hovering on the edge of hope at this time, what Uncle Liu Han is doing here, what is the purpose, he doesn't care, but, Uncle Shi's words, 'If you let Jack stay on this planet full of orangutans forever, then Miss Ruyin will not be yours?' That's the purpose of him following Liu Han to this planet.

Whether Jack came or not, he didn't know; When he came, Xiang Zhong didn't know, what he could do was that as long as Jack came, find a way to make Jack never go back!

Originally, I wanted the dean who was going around deceiving people and peddling fake 'chrysanthemum capsules' to help him imprison Jack and put him in a cage just like we put an orangutan in a cage.

Now it seems that this plan is not working, and what he is most anxious about now is to find the angel in the mouth of the little boss to serve, or Mitarai, and borrow their power to turn Jack into a cage, be exhibited everywhere, and become a national treasure.

Night came, and it was dark at ten o'clock, so Xiang Zhong had to stop at the foot of the island, find a sheltered place, and wait for dawn tomorrow before continuing to climb the mountain.

Just when Xiang Zhong once again perfected his plan and was half-asleep and ready to fall asleep, he suddenly heard someone's voice, which seemed exceptionally clear in this silent night: "Where are we spending the night tonight?" ”

"What, oh, of course it's here, find a flat ground and pitch a tent," another voice replied.

"Wouldn't it be better to be in a cave?"

"What cave?"

"Hey, the caves on the island."

"I don't know what caves are,"

A cold sweat broke out on Xiang Zhong's forehead. For he crept his head out, and saw that the group was not two, but more than twenty men, and they were all armed. If it is one or two, Xiang Zhong believes that as long as he makes his own move, it will still be easy to solve; Seven or eight, if you pay attention to yourself, you can barely solve it; But to deal with more than two dozen, Xiang Zhong asked himself, he still can't do it.

After weighing it, Xiang Zhong quietly retreated. All he could do now was pray that these people wouldn't find out.

Now he is really bare-handed, and even the student ring with a life-saving function is given up for fear of being discovered, and that thing also has an annoying function, that is, wherever you go, it will be positioned.

Fortunately, the place he found was just a crack in a rock, and there were no more than twenty people at all.

"What! There are no caves on this island? The first to speak, apparently surprised, only listened to him ask.

"Not a single one." The accoster was clearly well aware of the place, and his answer was crisp and affirmative.

Maybe it was because he received the leader's gesture instructions, and no one spoke outside, but there was a chaotic footstep and thumping sound, Xiang Zhong hid in the dark and guessed that it must be a steel drill nailed into the crack of the stone to fix the tent.

These people are very well-behaved, except for tools that collide with stones and carry things, no one actually speaks. Just by listening to the sound, you know that this is a well-trained group.

Just now curious about what kind of people this gang is, move his body, ready to climb to the entrance of the cave, and observe it, but he heard footsteps coming in his direction, so frightened that he quickly shrank his body back, hiding in a corner, and at the same time touched a stone in his hand, if someone came in, he would launch a surprise attack, first to the other party's eyes, and then, by the night, quickly escaped, and even the escape route was planned in advance, confident that these monkeys would escape before they reacted.

"Okay, Ichiro, I know you've been wronged. Many people in the world deserve to die, but they don't; Many people don't deserve to die, but they die. This is a reality that no one can change, not even the archmage. The speaker continued, in a rather impatient tone:

"You two, send him back!"

"Damn, are you flooded with water? Are you blinded by vultures? Can't you see that his leg is lame! ”

"What are you doing? Go get the blood of the black dog! ”

"Drink it, drink this bowl of soup, and you will forget all your pain, troubles, and hatred."

"No, I have to keep all the pain, trouble, and hatred in my heart, or I will lose any meaning."

"Did it give you face? At this time, you are still thinking about revenge. Crack his mouth open for me! ”

"Woohoo! Ahem, ahem, it's not dog blood... Ahem, ahem. ”

"Damn, in the middle of the night, where can I find dog blood for you, I will drink it, who is used to your problems. This is the captain's treasure urine, and the gold is expensive. ”

"You're too rough!"

"Little baby, you little fool, I don't know, it's still hot, taste it, come, taste it."

"Mr. Lao has waited for a long time, please forgive me." Just as I was pricking up my ears now to hear the man's final result, an unfamiliar voice came in again, "But I don't think I'm long late. This black light is blind, and he doesn't light a lamp. It's good to build a campfire. ”

"There is no need to mention the lateness," replied the man who arrived first in the gentlest of words, "that I came too early." But even if you make me wait a little longer, I'm pretty sure you didn't mean to be late. ”

"Sir is right," said the man, "I have come directly from the Holy Land, and it took me a great deal of effort to get a talk with Lord Paper. ”

"Queen's paper 。。。。。。 Who is it? ”

"Oh, Lord Queen's Paper was originally in prison, and I don't know what kind of shit luck I had, but I was actually favored by Lord Mitarai and became an FBI. It took me a month to find out what was going on in the Holy Land. ”

Hiding in the shadows now, he was startled by the sudden appearance of the name, his body trembled, and he almost made a movement, but fortunately he controlled it in time, stabilized his emotions, and then turned his attention to the outside. The people outside the cave didn't notice anything unusual, and the conversation continued.

"Really! I think you're a very far-sighted person. ”

"You know, the future is unpredictable. Maybe I'll be caught in the same snare as poor Abe Taro in the next few days, when I would be very happy to have a little mouse with itchy teeth biting a few holes in my net. ”

"Say, let's be simple, what the hell have you heard?"

"Three days later, at two o'clock in the afternoon, two men should be killed, as is the old custom at the beginning of every great festival in the Holy Land, and there is great interest in this ritual, and one of the prisoners will be punished with a lantern: that fellow is a scoundrel without conscience, and he has murdered the old gentleman who has taught him, and there is no need to pity him at all.

The other one was sentenced to death with a guillotine, and he, sir, was the poor Abe Taro. ”

"What else do you want? Not only have you recruited troops under the rule of the angels, but you have also made trouble with your neighbors, and they are afraid of them, and they will be glad to have an opportunity to make an example. Mitarai-sama can say that he just does dirty work, and he doesn't care about reputation. ”

"But Abe Taro is not my subordinate at all, he is just a poor shepherd, and his only crime is to provide us with food and grass."

"In that case, he is indeed one of your henchmen. Pay attention to the preferential treatment he receives, and if they catch you, they will blow you on the head, and he will be sentenced to death. In that way, the entertainment program of that day will have one more trick and one more lively scene to satisfy the audience. ”

"But they didn't even think that I was preparing a scene for him to scare them."

"My good friend," said the man, "forgive me for saying that it seems to me that you are trying to do something stupid. ”

"I just want to keep that poor creature from being beheaded. He suffered only because he had done me a favor. Our Lady is above, and if I stand by and let that brave man die like this, I will be a coward, and I will even look down on myself. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"I sent twenty capable men to surround the guillotine, and when Taro Abe was taken up for execution, I issued a secret signal, and everyone rushed up to drive back the guards with fireworks and robbed the prisoners."

"In my opinion, my friend, you don't know Mitarai-sama too well. If Mitarai-sama is fooled by this little trick of yours, then he is not the evil god who makes children dare not cry in the middle of the night. It's dangerous and uncertain, and I'm sure my plan is much better than yours. ”

"What is the plan, sir?"

"That's right: I'll send 10,000 fools to someone, and the money is well spent, and the person who accepts the money can give Abe Taro a suspended death sentence until next year, and within that year, I'll send another 10,000 fools so that he can be released on parole from prison or on medical parole, which is the safe way."

"Do you think you're going to make it?"

"#¥%......" the man said in a language he didn't understand.

"What did the gentleman say?" The other man asked.

"I say, good friend, it's much more effective to spend a little money with just one hand than with a knife, a pistol, or a shotgun. So, let me do it, and don't worry about the outcome. ”

"Yay! But if you fail, we'll do it anyway. ”

"It's up to you to prevent it as much as you like, but the probation is up to me."

"You must know that the sentence is set for the day after tomorrow, and you only have one day to do your activities."

"So what? Isn't the day divided into twenty-four hours, the hour not divided into sixty minutes, and the minute not divided into sixty seconds? Hey, there's a lot to do in 86400 seconds. ”

"How do I know if you've succeeded?"

"Oh! That's very easy. I have set up three windows in the Imperial Park Hotel in the central square of the Holy Land, and if I get the pardon that Taro Abe asked for, I will hang the words 'I love you' on each of the three windows. ”

"Who will your lord send to deliver a probation order to the executor?"

"Send a man and make him look like an ascetic, and I will give him the order, and put on that garment, and he will run all the way to the guillotine, and give the official document to the executioner, who will give it to the executioner. For now, let's inform Taro Abe and tell him what we've decided, so that he doesn't die or faint. Otherwise, you will have to spend a sum of money for him needlessly. ”

"Sir," said the man, "you can probably be completely convinced that I trust you, don't you?" ”

"At least I hope so." The knight replied.

"Oh, then, if you rescue Taro Abe, from now on, you will not only gain my trust, but also my obedience to your orders."

"You have to think about what a trap you have put on yourself, my good friend, because perhaps in the near future I will remind you of my promise, and it will be my turn to ask you for your help, for your help."

"Let that day come, sooner or later, when the gentleman can count on me, just as I have relied on you in this great trouble. Even if you are at the ends of the earth, just write to me and tell me to do such and such a thing, and that thing will be done, for I will certainly do it, and I will give you in the name of God—"

"Shh The man interrupted him, "I hear voices. ”
