Chapter 35: Secrets
Lin Zuzu didn't report the information to the other teammates with great fanfare, although it was a more secure method, and she would not theoretically implement such a plan after she was a freshman, but - this is a thing that can only be done by her alone.
Therefore, this is also destined to be a gamble that will be scolded by Nuo.
If it was when it was willing to speak.
"I've got a strong helper, and this time, I'm really going to struggle." The girl pressed her chest, as if trying to pass on the thought to the awkward child.
There was still silence in my head.
She clenched her fists, turned her head to look at the two-hundred-square-meter debris accumulation field, and turned off the light.
No faint glow from the runes was found.
Maybe not in the room, maybe under a weight, or even ...... It may have been built into the wall.
In short, it is too difficult to find and destroy runes.
And the longer you stay down, the more you can't report information through the walkie-talkie, which can cause upset among your teammates and trigger support.
Luckily, they didn't want to see me, so I'm going to hurry.
Lin Zuzu turned on the light and carefully observed the seemingly chaotic room.
It has been more than twenty years since the Wang branch of the Troll Clan entered the S country, and this villa was purchased by them more than ten years ago. There are no signs of renovation in the basement, and it is very likely that it was used as a utility room from the beginning. But even if you give up the usable area of 200 square meters, you won't be so embarrassed.
Could this be the ugly reality of trolls dressed up in glamour attire?
According to the information about the elemental aura obtained by the courier chief at the "Troll" headquarters, the trolls are in love with the elven brooch. Because in the face of the investigation notified in advance by the government investigation team, the corresponding breath can still be detected, in addition to Ji Liangchen's superior strength, it can only show that Wang Shun has the habit of wearing it for a long time or has just left his body for a short time.
Slowly, more than ten years ago...... The girl thought of something wrong.
Since then, have trolls been buying elves? If not, why plan for such an area?
Or maybe...... What else are they hiding?
Lin Zuzu looked down behind her, leaving the footprints on the dusty ground when she had just entered and exited. Inspired to do so, she immediately crouched down and took a closer look around.
Suddenly, she saw an irregular oval area slightly lighter than the rest of the dust, a carefully camouflaged footprint. It can be seen that the extra dust has been carefully sprayed there, enough to deal with the curiosity of the bored visitor.
But he couldn't avoid Lin Zuzu's fiery eyes.
There must be something hidden here.
Soon, she found several more footprints, which should be the cadence of an average human based on the distance distributed.
It's a servant here, right?
She followed the footprints, finding a few footholds that could fit into a foot in the seemingly impassable debris, forming a path.
That's it, then......
"Remember to come and save me."
The girl whispered to No, cautiously stepping over a television and carefully settling her feet into the gap.
Nothing happened.
It seems that there are no more restrictions on the entry and exit of ordinary humans here.
Two-step, three-step, four-step......
Finally, behind a huge closet, the hidden truth revealed its last veil—a square slate door sealed with a heavy padlock.
Maybe there will be some consequences if you break the padlock with an external force, but the girl can't be cautious, and it's not a safe thing to be involved in the sale of elves.
She drew her knife and swiped it at the padlock to determine where it fell, then exhaled a cloudy breath.
The fighting spirit accelerated, the hand rose and fell, and the most slender part of the padlock broke in response.
Lin Zuzu suddenly remembered that just a few months ago, she was still helpless in the face of runes, which were much more fragile than steel.
There is no doubt that she has become stronger.
The girl pulled open the slab that was much lighter than expected, and a staircase stretched into the darkness that the dim light could not reach, and even her eyes beyond ordinary eyes could not touch the dark depths.
She turned on her tiny flashlight to illuminate the concrete-hewn steps, and walked in without hesitation.
Since the servants came from time to time, and the slate was not completely sealed, the air was as she expected, muddy, but not thin.
On both sides were the state of ordinary rough houses, and there were no strange totemic patterns, and as she continued to enter, the passage gradually widened.
Suddenly, a circular room appeared in front of her.
Completely different from concrete, to be precise, this is a cave made of black rock.
In the light of the ghostly torches, several stones have been polished and piled up to form a sofa, a large stone plate appears to be a bed, and there are three stone doors on the other side of the rock wall.
Who would live in such a place? Could the brooch be in those rooms?
As the girl was thinking, an abrupt voice exploded in the silence.
"Today is not the day to deliver food."
This "attack" without warning made Lin Zuzu suddenly break out in a cold sweat, biting her lip to prevent herself from screaming, she reluctantly turned her head to look at the source of the sound.
Standing in the shadows was a figure as tall as himself, judging by the silhouette, it should not be an ordinary human. As she approached the cave, she never became aware of the natives here.
"Are you new here?"
New to the new arrival? Maybe they think I'm a servant here.
So, the girl nodded busily, and at the same time turned slightly to the side, trying to make the saber at her waist look as inconspicuous as possible.
"What are you here for?"
Only then did she realize that the words were coming from her head, not real voices.
The figure moved, and almost silently stepped into the area where the firelight shone -
It was a troll, a juvenile troll who wasn't on the hunt list.
Lin Zuzu had seen all the photos of the trolls before the operation, including their real bodies and their forms after the illusion. Despite the troll's ugliness, there are still similarities in the appearance of the immediate family, and the juvenile troll in front of him is somewhat similar to Wang Shun.
Lin Zuzu had an idea, learned the appearance of a housekeeper and said:
"Mr. Wang sent me to pick up what he had left here."
I thought that she would continue to be entangled, but I didn't expect the little troll to nod easily, and led her to the stone gate in the middle.
Can a troll have such a lot of mental power to use teleportation for a long time? Lin Zuzu felt a little strange.
Walking through the empty cavern, they stopped at the door.
"Nothing else to confess?"
The girl knew that this question might be a bad thing, so she didn't dare to be smart, so she could only pretend to be hesitant and nodded.
Seeing this, the little troll deftly pushed open the heavy stone door while continuing to talk to the girl with his mental power.
"Speaking of which, Nightmare's hypnotism has failed."
It turns out that this is the real deal between trolls and nightmares. Those so-called suitable illusions are nothing more than a trick.
As the stone door slowly opened, the scene inside the house was gradually exposed to the girl's eyes.
In several museum-like booths, she saw at a glance the blue-manged water spirits she had seen in Paradise at a glance.
This time, she finally saw the fairy's beautiful but pale face, as well as the slender limbs and translucent wings nailed to the crystal stand.
Damn it......
Suddenly, a chill crept up on her back.
Wait, why would he tell such deadly information to an ordinary minion?
The girl quietly withdrew her gaze, and then realized—
The baby troll turned his head at some point, tilting his head and staring at her in a daze.
In an instant, in the closed cave, the fire moved without wind.
Then, the corners of the troll's ugly mouth suddenly opened into an evil grin.
