The ticking of water droplets echoed, and there was darkness all around, and the snake-faced statue shone brightly, slightly illuminating the figure walking on the middle road, and from the silhouette, it seemed that he was carrying something behind him.

The click of footsteps stopped at the road at the end of the statue, the figure raised his head, carefully looked in front of him, with the faint light he could barely see the black fog hidden in the shadows, it was quite inconspicuous, if one was not careful, it would definitely bump into it, just like the flustered Chairman Lu at that time.

He observed a little, stretched out his hands and inserted them into it with a faint force, as if forcibly pushing open the door to the sides, and the teleportation matrix originally set up by the Lord of Bronze and Fire instantly burst, exposing the hidden space at its back end.

"Is it really here?"

The figure muttered under his breath, pulling a mask from his bag and placing it on his face, completely obscuring his face.

His bag was open, and when he looked inside, he could see several woven straw skirts.

……

"Damn, this door doesn't seem to open."

Caesar's face was gloomy, he held the blood collection tube in his hand, most of the blood in it had been reduced, and next to him, the traces of blood could still be faintly seen in the open mouth of the living spirit on the bronze door.

Chu Zihang stood aside, holding the other two glass tubes in his hands, the blood in them was originally used by them in an emergency situation, but now it seems that it is useless now.

Caesar poured all the blood in the broken tube in his hand into the mouth of the living spirit, frowning, and facing the staring eyes of the living spirit, a chill went straight to his heart, as if he saw the corners of the living soul's mouth slowly raised, as if he was quite happy to see their puzzled appearance.

Or maybe it's saying, 'I'm going to trap you all here.'" ’

"It doesn't seem to work." Activating the 'Scythe', Caesar listened carefully to the sounds around him, in this state, he could hear even the sound of the stones rolling, but he could not hear the sound of the bronze door. No, to be precise, there were some sounds, it was the sound of swallowing, and the living spirits were absorbing the blood they had poured into, but they were indifferent, and it seemed that this offering was a little dissatisfied with him.

"What should I do?" Caesar turned around and smiled dismally: "It seems that the blood of the 'key' will not work. ”

When Chu Zihang heard this, his face quickly became gloomy, although it was not much different from what he usually couldn't see, he opened another tube of blood and dripped into it, and the living spirit mask was still dumbfounded and unchanged.

"No response...... It seems that the blood that is not the 'key' has lost its effect. Chu Zihang didn't show any disappointed expression after learning the result, although whether the blood can open the living spirit can greatly indicate the purity of a person's blood, and the living spirit does not react, which means that his blood has not yet reached the standard.

But if the blood of this door 'key' can't be opened, and he can open it, then something is wrong.

'Key' is the name given by the academy to a toddler, saying that it is a toddler, but it is not known how old he has lived, if you count the years he has lived in the freezer.

The secret party froze him for the sole purpose of prolonging his life as much as possible, because he possessed one of the rarest spirit of words, the spirit of words. The key is that the blood can open all the doors of the world related to dragons, such as the Nibelungen, or the living spirit, which has always been a point of belief in the secret party.

But now, this iron law has been broken, the four of them glanced at each other, Ye Sheng and Jiu De Aki's faces became more and more solemn, they had used the blood of the 'key' countless times, and the effect could not be said to be okay, it could only be said that they were quite satisfied, and now the blood of the key could not open the bronze door in front of them, and they knew what this meant.

"Are we going to be trapped here?" Ye Sheng smiled, after experiencing a series of ups and downs, his state of mind had calmed down a lot.

Chu Zihang glanced at the living spirit and shook his head.

"That's not going to happen." Caesar mused, "Actually, we now have three methods. ”

"First, we can get the information out now, wait for the Academy's method, wait for others to come to the rescue, but, to be honest, if we can't open this door now, I don't think they'll come up with anything in just a few days, all they can do is transport food and water here, and let us stay here and consume it slowly, but every time they need the blood of the key to enter, the key doesn't have that much blood, and in the end it will abandon us and let us die here, Transform into piles of bones and join them. Caesar smiled.

"You don't seem to be afraid of death at all." Aki bit her lip.

"Of course, from the day I set foot in school, I already thought that I would die, but there was no way, I hated a boring life more than dying, and Chu Zihang was too."

The three of them looked at the boy lying on the bronze door, who nodded slightly in agreement.

"Go on, Caesar." Ye Sheng said.

"The second method is to wait, but don't pin your hopes on the academy side, on our teammates." Caesar raised his eyebrows: "It's not just the four of us who have come down here, there are also people who are now alone, not knowing life or death, we can only hope that he will live, and then come to save us." ”

"You said Lu Mingfei?"

"Can there be anyone else?" Caesar looked at Chu Zihang with a wry smile: "Now I can only wait for him, I hope there is nothing wrong with him, and besides, I feel that the blood of the key is not useless, and the fact that the living spirit drinks it shows this, however, this door cannot be opened unilaterally, but requires blood to be injected into the other end of the person." Think about it, why we explored the whole tunnel, but we couldn't find Lu Mingfei. ”

"In other words, this is equivalent to two roads, they have the same starting point, but for some reason we were transported here, and Lu Mingfei entered the other road, and only the living spirit gates on both sides were opened at the same time and everyone could go out?" Ye Sheng scratched his hair: "Is this something that the Dragon King can do?" How does it feel like he's setting up a playthrough? ”

"The frescoes, and your clothes, aren't they all the work of the Lord of Bronze and Fire, so it makes sense." Jiu De Aki glanced at Ye Sheng's naked upper body.

"What if Lu Mingfei can't count on it?" Chu Zihang raised his head and asked.

"That's the last option." Caesar sighed, looked directly at the living spirit, and gritted his teeth:

"Since he wants blood, then give it to it, we can't just sit here and wait for death together, like those white bones beside us."

The other three widened their eyes as they stared at Caesar, who was smiling.

"You mean......" Chu Zihang frowned.

"All the living spirit needs is dragon blood, it doesn't care how much impurities there are, as long as enough blood is offered, it will open." Caesar patted the living soul's head as if he were touching the doorknob of the student council: "We still need time to probe the distance behind, and in two days, if Lu Mingfei does not come, then I will provide the blood." ”

"Why you." Chu Zihang quickly asked, "Can you just love it so much?" If the living spirit needs more blood than you can provide, it will drain your veins, and you can't be unaware. ”

"Are we trapped here? Like the bones all over there? Caesar pointed to the corpses leaning against the rock wall on one side, their hollow eyes staring at the four of them.

"That's... It doesn't have to be you. Chu Zihang said in a deep voice: "If you die, many things will become troublesome, your family will definitely not give up, and things will develop in an unpredictable direction." ”

"What do you want to say?" Caesar had a bruise on his forehead, and the last thing he liked was to be dissuaded in the name of 'family' after making a decision.

"I'm the right person." Chu Zihang glanced at the men and women next to him, then looked at Caesar, and said lightly: "My bloodline is no less than yours, even above you, and my chances of survival are higher than yours."

Besides," the boy smiled self-deprecatingly, "there are very few people who really care about me, and if I die, I will cause the least trouble to others." ”

"Don't say this kind of thing, Chu Zihang, you are obviously a Chinese, how can you always say that those Japanese shogunate samurai open their mouths and shut up that it doesn't matter if I die." Caesar's tone sank, but only those who were familiar with him knew that Caesar was really angry now: "I am the team leader, I am a year older than you, you should listen to me." ”

"But you are the kind of person who will ignore as long as you are angry, and in the history of the academy, you are the only one who dares to shoot and jump off the building." Chu Zihang's tone was still flat: "Caesar, now is not a playhouse, every decision you make will lead to the fate of more people, I must stop you." ”

"What right do you have to stop me? And what are you going to do to stop me? Caesar sneered.

"If words can't be relied upon, then I can only rely on other methods." Chu Zihang's eyes lit up, and Mura Yu slid out of the scabbard in his hand.

"Want to be here? But it's okay, I can't wait to fight you. Caesar smiled back, and Dictor had been in his hands.

Seeing that the powder keg was about to explode, Ye Sheng grabbed the two: "What if you are exhausted and there is something else behind the door, besides, don't exclude me, you two have unlimited potential in the future, and the person who should go here the most should actually be me." ”

“……”

"Why don't we do it a fairer way?" Aki smiled and pulled out four bamboo sticks from his combat uniform.

"This was originally given to me by my sister, so that I have to smoke one every time before I act to see my fate."

"What do you mean...... Drawing? Caesar looked at the four yellow strips.

"This should be the fairest way at the moment, the four lots, each engraved with spring, summer, autumn and winter, except for this one is exactly the same, who can draw a specific lot, let him do this task, how about it?"

"Yes." Caesar nodded.

Chu Zihang glanced at Jiu De Yaji and hummed softly.

Ye Sheng kept looking at the girl, and sighed after a long time: "Then that's it, what kind of lottery will you draw on?" ”

"Spring, I love spring." The girl still smiled: "I only have one request, don't announce our respective results after the lottery, and sit down and chat normally until the last moment." ”

Caesar stared at the girl's smile and raised his finger: "I also have a request. ”

"Say."

"Let's draw lots first, and the rest is yours, how about that?"

"Yes."

Ye Sheng watched the girl hold the bamboo stick and let Chu Zihang and Caesar choose, and his eyebrows inadvertently picked.

……

"By the way, why are you so sure that behind the door is a way out, not an abyss to hell?"

After drawing lots, the four of them looked a little relieved, leaned against the wall, and began to talk.

"Because we came through this bronze door, you triggered the device here, and a labyrinth was erected outside, and in the labyrinth we encountered something like black mist, and then we came here." Caesar shrugged his shoulders: "He won't fail to give his way." ”

"Makes sense." Aki nodded: "In the religion of the dragon clan, there is no closed loop, in their eyes it represents stagnation, and any dragon will seek the opportunity to devour its companions in order to gain great power." ”

"Do you even remember what the Dragon Religion class said?" Ye Sheng was a little surprised.

"What do you mean, who are you looking down on?" The Asian girl pursed her lips, as if she was angry, and when she saw Ye Sheng in a hurry, she chuckled again: "Of course I will always remember interesting things." ”

"Envy them, don't you? We are all people who have the potential to go to the door of ghosts, and we can still experience the last trace of warmth. Caesar leaned next to Chu Zihang, lowered his head and whispered, "President Elm? ”

"Yes...... Somewhat...... Envy. Looking at the men and women chirping me, Chu Zihang stared for a long time and lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something.

"Then find a girlfriend, after I go back, I'll take a look, well, Susie is very good, although she is a year older than you, but her personality and appearance are very good, and she seems to be interesting to you." When Caesar saw Chu Zihang's enlightenment, he suddenly became interested: "To be honest, a guy like you who doesn't have a crush on someone else should take the initiative and understand what he thinks in his heart after falling in love a few times." ”

"Crush... What is the meaning? Chu Zihang raised his head: "That's it...... Can you explain it vividly? ”

"Just... How to say it. Caesar, apparently stumped by the question, pondered for a moment, and gave his own example:

"You subconsciously look at a certain girl, see what she is wearing today, how she feels, when she smiles at you, you feel like you have a good mood for the day, when she talks to other boys, you feel that the whole world might as well be destroyed, that's probably how it feels. Of course, rookies who have never been in a relationship are like this. "When Caesar said it, he deliberately added an accent to the word 'rookie'.

"Aren't you in love with Nono for the first time?" Chu Zihang glanced at Caesar: "Also, if this is called a secret crush, I did have a crush." ”

"Men, there must always be some secrets, of course, sooner or later I will confess to her, and she probably won't care. Oops, no, what did you say, you had a crush on another girl? When? Where is it? Have I seen it? Caesar reacted suddenly.

"It was junior high school." Chu Zihang glanced at Caesar: "Okay, let's rest for a while and save your strength." ”

"Your reason is very lame, you've only been awake for more than five hours, are you a pig?" Caesar was angry, but he still didn't speak, because he heard Chu Zihang's breathing sound evenly.

This guy is really trying to fall asleep.

"Caesar, you can sleep for a while, you have been watching around just now." Ye Sheng leaned over and patted Caesar on the shoulder: "Take a rest and recover your strength." ”

The latter did not refuse, his current state has indeed reached the extreme, if it weren't for Chu Zihang's words to stimulate his nerves, he would probably have fallen asleep a long time ago.

The inverted cone on the top of the cave flashed and glowed, like a scrapped street lamp on a street corner, Caesar and Chu Zihang leaned against the rock wall, and fell asleep after a while.
