Chapter 111: Why Don't You Ask the Magical Conch?
"How did two of them get seriously injured? Isn't it one serious injury, two minor injuries? And what about one more person? ”
Yang Lingling saw the two people in the utility room and was puzzled.
Nick rushed over to check the situation and found that the two men were indeed members of the soul power, and recognized the identities of the two, one at the priest level and the other at the cult level.
After confirming her identity, Yang Lingling released the water energy and followed the esophagus of the two of them to probe inside them.
"It's not good," she told Nick of what she had observed.
"The officiant's injury is the most serious, there are many bleeding in the internal organs, the ribs are almost broken, and there are some fragments inserted in the internal organs, I can only help her protect the periphery of the fragments to prevent the internal bleeding from continuing, and the other one is also suffering from excessive blood loss, it seems that the minor injury has been dragged into a serious injury! These two must be rescued immediately! ”
Nick picked up a note full of dots and lines from the table next to him and showed it to Yang Lingling:
"It's the message code, and the content says that because these two people are too seriously injured, and the supplies here are also exhausted, the other person with relatively minor injuries has ventured out to find food and medicine!"
"What about the door? Why is the door blocked from the inside? ”
Yang Lingling took the note and confirmed the contents of it, and asked Nick strangely.
"Because of ability," Nick recalled:
"The man I contacted was an acquaintance of mine, and he was a special magician, with the ability to pierce walls, and he could communicate with animals. The note he reported before was sent by him with a mouse! ”
As he spoke, Nick took out some medicine from his waist bag and gave the two of them some external and internal administration.
At this time, the glasses brother also rushed over, and he was stunned when he saw the situation in front of him, and then hurriedly helped treat the injured and gave them medicine and water.
Yang Lingling didn't mix, just stood next to her and pondered for a while, and then said to Nick:
"You two, let's carry them out first, I'll stay here and wait for the rest to come back."
"How does this work?"
Nick was taken aback and hurriedly spoke out to dissuade:
"We're here to save people, and if you're trapped here, you'll lose more than you gain!"
Yang Lingling waved her hand and signaled him not to worry:
"Listen to me, you can also see my ability, and it has a strong restraining effect on these cultists. And I'm not going out, I'm just waiting for the man right here, and if he doesn't come back in two hours, I won't wait any longer. ”
At this time, the glasses brother also spoke:
"Hanny, I advise you not to stay here, just now I studied the books in the library, and those cultists think that the artifact is hidden in this library, so the cultists here will not decrease, but will only increase!"
"Huh? Artifact? What's going on? ”
Yang Lingling was immediately very curious when she heard this.
"It's written," the glasses guy handed Yang Lingling a blood-stained book with a cover made of unknown leather:
According to the book, there is a legend that has long been circulating here in Juventugin that the depths of the sea in the distance are sealed with terrible monsters. The power of the barrier to seal the monster is all concentrated on a statue called the 'Sea God Statue', and if you want to break the seal, you need to smear the statue with human blood on the night of the full moon, and then hold a large-scale human sacrifice ceremony. ”
As he spoke, the glasses guy took out another old newspaper, which looked at least a few decades old:
"If you look at this newspaper again, it says that more than 60 years ago, there was a statue called 'King of the Ocean', which was put up for auction by a charity organization in Juventugin. The ultimate buyer of this statue was a wealthy man named Conrad Alfarstone, a descendant of the library's original owner, Ludwig Alfarstone! ”
Yang Lingling immediately understood the key:
"You mean, this 'King of the Ocean' statue is an artifact, and this Conrad will probably put it in the library after taking a picture of the artifact?"
"Possibly!" The glasses guy pushed his glasses, and his eyes shone brightly:
"Because I'm interested in books, I always check the library there first, so I've already learned about this library in advance. Although the ownership of the property is owned by the city government, most of the ticket revenue is owned by the descendants of the first owner. Therefore, the descendants here have a habit of buying all kinds of cultural relics and antiques and displaying them in the library to attract more people to visit and borrow books! ”
Good guys, I didn't expect there to be a windfall!
"Then I can't go!"
Yang Lingling said categorically:
"Since it's about artifacts, that's the top priority! I'm staying here and waiting for someone to investigate artifact-related matters! Those two agents who infiltrated the cult in disguise will probably find out something about it, and I just happened to have a chance to get in touch with them! ”
Nick and the glasses guy looked at each other, but they didn't expect the persuasion to be counterproductive.
"Don't worry," Yang Lingling saw their hesitation and spoke to reassure:
"I'm not stupid, if I'm really in danger, I'll naturally find a place to hide, but if I can't, I'll ask Jennifer to come and save me. Our brother and sister are telepathic, and with Jennifer's speed, it won't take more than ten minutes to rush over. ”
As soon as these words came out, the effect was really outstanding, Nick nodded, no longer entangled, and pulled the glasses brother to carry the seriously injured two, exactly one for each person, intending to withdraw from the library immediately.
Before leaving, the glasses guy handed Yang Lingling a detonator and asked her to use it when she left.
Yang Lingling did not refuse, put away the detonator, and watched the two leave in the direction they came.
Then, without hesitation, she immediately walked out of the utility room and began to explore the library.
She wasn't really stupid enough to hide in the utility room and wait for that cultist member to come back, finding the artifact was the first thing to do now!
Yang Lingling has a hunch that this so-called "Seagod Statue" itself is likely to be a more precious treasure!
As long as you can grab it, you can not only solve this cult incident, but also earn it a lot of "game points"!
Just in case, she telepathically wakes up Jennifer from her sleep and tells her to go find Jackman, but stay on standby for the time being.
After all, Jennifer must have been blacklisted as a cultist by now, and if she shows up at this time, then all the cultists in the entire Juventus city will definitely gather in the library!
If the Armageddon breaks out in advance, it will be difficult for Yang Lingling to steal the statue of the sea god under the watchful eye of all people!
Now the people of the cult are not very clear about the "purpose" and "strength" of these invaders, and it is the time for Yang Lingling to fish in troubled waters!
Yang Lingling smeared a layer of water energy under her feet, and then used the thrust of wind energy to slide quickly and silently in the library corridor.
If she encounters a cultist, she will slaughter the few people, and avoid it for the time being if there are many people - she is not afraid that the other party will hurt herself, but mainly because she does not want to arouse the vigilance of the cultists here.
Yang Lingling has an idea, since the cultists here have been investigating the Seagod Statue for several days, there must be some clues, instead of starting from the beginning, it is better for Huang Que to follow behind the cultists and pick up the cheap!
casually caught a few ordinary cultists alive, and asked about the distribution of cultists in the library, Yang Lingling probably had points in her heart.
According to the captured tongues, the cultists had indeed found the statue of the sea god.
However, the statue of Poseidon they found was fake, and it was created by the library in order to attract tourists.
Like all the other antique paintings and statues in the library, they are fakes.
In order not to be damaged, the original ones are kept in a secret room somewhere in the library.
This secret room is known only to the librarian and the descendants of Ludwig Alfarstone.
But unfortunately, after the cultists occupied the library, they had killed almost everyone in the library, and the library director was among the victims.
As for finding Ludwig Alfarstone's descendants?
Unfortunately, the man had fled Juventus' city with his family two months earlier, and seemed to have foreseen even greater chaos to come.
"A secret room?"
Yang Lingling hides in a place that resembles a small meeting room, thinking about her current strategy.
She planned to take advantage of the pervasive nature of wind and water energy to conduct a carpet search while evading the search of those cultists.
Yang Lingling casually took a guide map of the library from the corridor of the library, and then followed the instructions on the map to start "scanning" one area after another.
Because the wind energy is purely used for searching, it is very hidden, so Yang Lingling releases a wave of wind energy every time she goes to a new area, sweeping the entire area.
Even if there were cultists in the area, they would only feel a gust of wind blowing.
If she found a gap that the wind energy could easily drill into, Yang Lingling would go over and use the water energy to further probe to see if there were any mechanisms hidden behind the walls and furniture with gaps.
As a result, Yang Lingling spent most of the day exploring the entire three floors of the library, but found nothing, which was difficult for her.
Although she doesn't hate solving puzzles like Yang Wuji, Yang Lingling is also a martial arts faction, and thinking is barely her strong point, but that's only for combat.
But as long as it's a game, she won't be disgusted, and the current predicament has aroused her fighting spirit.
"Grandma's! The old lady must find that bullshit room! ”
Yang Lingling sat unwillingly in the closet of a changing room on the third floor.
Next door is the core area where the cultists gather, and those few tide greeters gather next door to discuss something.
Yang Lingling eavesdropped and thought at the same time.
"Could it be that this so-called secret room uses supernatural powers?"
Yang Lingling guessed, but quickly shook her head and denied:
"In that case, as an ordinary curator, there shouldn't be a way to enter the secret room, which is unreasonable."
I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't have a clue.
The cultist next door doesn't seem to be much better. However, because of today's attack, many of their men have died, so they don't bother to find the secret room at the moment, and they are all discussing how to find and kill those intruders.
"Nick, they must have escaped...... I didn't hear the explosion just now, was it to leave me a way back? ”
Yang Lingling was distracted, but for some reason, Yang Wuji's stupid face suddenly appeared in front of her, and a sentence that Yang Wuji often said suddenly appeared in Yang Lingling's mind:
"Why don't you ask the magic conch?"
Whenever Yang Wuji said this, Yang Lingling knew that the goods were on the swing.
But right now, this sentence suddenly gave Yang Lingling an inspiration:
"yes, why don't I ask about magic...... Ahh It should be Char 2! ”
Just do it when she thinks of it, Yang Lingling immediately held the pendant on her chest, closed her eyes, and her consciousness instantly entered the dream wilderness full of blood mist.
Char No. 2's energy ball was still floating in the sky, and he took the initiative to ask Yang Lingling about her intentions. Yang Lingling explained the current situation to him, and he immediately gave a solution:
"I don't have the information you want, but I can send a mission to the 'helpers' on your behalf, and maybe some of them will know what you want."
"Mission?" Yang Lingling was stunned:
"Is there any cost to sending a mission?"
"No, the resources consumed by the tasks issued by the administrator will be directly deducted from the source energy or flesh and blood divine power."
Char's answer on No. 2 made Yang Lingling raise her eyebrows - this is to make the system fully reimbursement! This "administrator" is treated really well.
"I don't know how my brother came up with this plug-in, it's too perverted...... Could it be that the old brother looks like a fool, but is actually awesome? ”
Yang Lingling muttered and agreed to Char's proposal on 2.
As for the "helper" in Char No. 2's mouth, he is naturally a member of the "Lord of Eternal Life" sect.
Char's speed was much faster than Yang Lingling imagined, and in about twenty minutes, Char No. 2 conveyed a message to Yang Lingling through the pendant:
"There is a 'facilitator' who knows the answers you want. I hope to communicate with you in person. ”
"So fast?"
Yang Lingling was taken aback - the question she asked was very specific! And it's relatively secretive, according to the glasses brother, the secret room of the Juventugin City Civic Library, but few people know about it!
"Okay, you wait a minute, I'll go to the dream right away."
As she spoke, Yang Lingling held the pendant, closed her eyes, and then in the dream wilderness in front of her, a figure in a black robe suddenly appeared.
After the figure saw Yang Lingling, he didn't make any big salutes, but just bowed his head very politely.
Yang Lingling also returned the salute and asked the other party directly:
"Do you know how to enter the secret room of the Juventugin City Civic Library?"
The figure nodded:
"Yes, dear administrator, dear brother. To enter the Civic Library, you need to go through three corridors, the first is the corridor in the southeast corner, the second is the corridor in the southwest corner, and the third is the corridor in the middle......"
"You wait," Yang Lingling interrupted the other party's words:
"I've walked through all these corridors you mentioned, and I haven't seen the entrance to the secret room at all."
"Please be patient," the Shadow smiled.
"When I say corridor, I don't mean a corridor that can be seen, but a corridor that can't be seen......"
