Homecoming Episode (12)

In the continuous sea of false stars, the starlight is not a sparkling dot, but a brilliant one, and it is no longer a guide to the way, but a false miasma that hinders progress. Although it is still beautiful and heartbreaking, the approaching darkness and confusion are terrifying.

The group walked in this false sea of stars for the first time, and in the sometimes narrow and sometimes spacious veins, what was lost was not only the sense of direction, but also the perception of time and space. If it weren't for the fact that they were well known here, they might have been lost.

"Just go a little further ahead. Edward said dryly. After the previous questioning, he fell silent under the cold gaze of everyone, until a winding path appeared behind a corner.

"Brother Shadow, how do you know that you can use human transport?" The crowd didn't pay attention to Edward, only Melson, who was walking behind, secretly asked Sunshadow.

"It's a very common thing in the black market. And ......" Sunshadow said and stopped again, shaking his head and not saying any more.

"And what......" Melson asked puzzled, seeing that Sunshadow didn't continue.

"Moreover, when Brother Ying doesn't want to say it, don't ask. Mott interjected suddenly, pressing Melson's head, scratching his blonde hair.

He understands the meaning of the sun and shadows, although they are people who run in the shadow of swords and swords, they have seen blood and rain, corpses, and monsters, but they have not seen them, which means that they can understand the darkness of human nature and understand the suffering of the world. At least the aristocratic born Melson didn't know, he didn't know that there were thieves who could swallow a piece of gold in order to hide the stolen finances, and he didn't know that when he was hungry and dying in the wilderness, not to mention gems, even people could swallow them directly, money and life can make people fight for their lives to do some incredible things, when Edward controlled those people, no matter what he swallowed, what was so rare. Melson didn't know that money and other people's lives were dung in his eyes, and he didn't need to know it now, and he could not know it in the future.

Just as Mott rubbed Melson's head to interrupt his questioning, Sunshadow walked quickly over to Edward, who had stopped.

There is a barrier ahead, and unlike the other natural barriers in the veins, it is a mixture of artificial and gold-stone veins.

It is the concave wall of the ore vein that slowly narrows from the two walls to the middle, some of which are large and large pieces of rock, some of which are rock roots that are twisted and flipped in the air like life, and the more prominent parts are rough artificial traces, which seem to be unable to wait for the mine to take a long time to close, and it also seems to prevent these freely moving spars from opening the space behind them. These artificial traces, crudely but very effective, seal almost every inch of the crevice, blocking any prying eyes. If it weren't for the rough traces, you would almost have thought that there was no space behind it, just endless rocks.

"You sealed it?" asked Melson, too, as he walked over.

Edward shook his head.

"What's going on here?" asked Sunshadow, crouching on the ground, stroking the dark brown marks on the ground and corners, almost indiscernible. It was a blood stain after a large amount of blood had dried up. He looked at Edward's gloomy face and continued. "How many people have you lost here?"

"When I didn't find it at first, although there may have been problems with the transportation of employees, the damage was not serious, and few people had accidents for several months. But since the discovery of the place, the mortality rate has increased dramatically.

First of all, after swallowing the crystal, several prisoners who were the carrier of the crystal swallowed the crystal, when they stood here, there was an inexplicable explosion, and then there was a collapse in a certain area, killing several soldiers, and then, the exploration of the missing team, suddenly a few came back, most of them were corpses, and a few of them were still crazy and couldn't describe what happened before, and those corpses were found to have dried up and died after exploration. The strangest of all is Ador, who insists on blowing it up. Until then, because of the instability of the spar, Adore was more cautious than me, and he was the first to find the test body to swallow the crystal, in order to ensure that the crystal did not change until it was transported to its destination, but he now asked me to blow up this place. But the consequences of blowing up this place are simply immeasurable, and I strongly disagree, and he has been arguing with me about it for months. Last time, I was going to deal with it secretly, but I found out and stopped it. Originally, I wanted to stop there and start somewhere else. However, Adol found the sorcerer of the Holy Court of Light to perceive the world behind it, and the sorcerer predicted that behind it was the center of this vein, which contained several great energies. The elders of the Holy Court of Light and my superiors both felt the need to open this place immediately, and this is when you came. ”

"Did you say you saw fish scales on other people before, after they appeared here?" asked Hikage.

"It was on the soldiers of the missing squad, and when they came back, the people who were not dead were already extremely weak. A few of them had those weird scales, but not as many as Adore, and when they died, they didn't know why they disappeared. I didn't remember all the things I had just found on Ador. ”

"Have you tried to go around the rear from other directions?" asked Mott.

"Even though I walk around a lot, I can't make out the direction here, let alone explore the unknown and go around the back. It will only be lost in vain. Edward shook his head negatively. He may be indifferent to the people, but he can't do the same to his own soldiers.

"The filling marks here are not very long, and the technique is very rough, even a bit like a child's random scribbling. Sunshadow tapped her hand on the gap that Anxie had filled.

"I also tried to dig, but I found that the material was very hard, and I hadn't been digging for a few days, and it kept happening, and it stopped until you all came. Edward added.

"If Adore knows about this vein, I don't think anyone else will. Since it appeared in the center and has nothing to do with you, it can be seen that the veins have already been here, and the traces are rough, like graffiti, which shows that there is no experience in this, and it is very likely that it is a person with no helper. And the veins of these traces, which penetrate from the inside in, are laid from the inside out, so that the person who lays them must be inside the barrier, and the inside may naturally be the center of the sorcerer's words.

Inside, for us this is the entrance, but for him, this is perhaps the exit. If he is not trapping himself, he is trapping what is in the center. Sunshadow calmly analyzed.

"What's there?" asked Melson.

Sunshadow shook his head, "There's something the murderer doesn't want others to discover, and there's a secret that he's going to protect by all means." ”

"So, the same person or the same people who got into the veins to make trouble, kill the maiden, and find you?" said Edward.

"Didn't Brother Gangying say it, just one person. Melson looked at Edward as an idiot when he asked the question.

"I'm afraid there's one more thing to add now. Sunshadow said.

"Ador's ......"

Before the Sun Shadow could finish speaking, he was prepared by the sound of hurried footsteps coming from behind, and several people looked alert, but only Miga did not, but happily greeted him.

"Brother Shadow. "It turned out to be Mi Jian. He hurried along with the captain who had shown them the way.

"Sir!" shouted the soldier.

"Adore is dead. The two said together. The crowd was shocked.

I have not appeared for a long time, the dividing line of the imperial capital******

In recent days. The people in Peng Xiu's mansion said that they couldn't bear it!

Servant A: Hey, you say, is there something strange in our house lately? That day I saw His Highness chatting with a gray thing!

Servant B: Yes, yes. Don't you know, that day, the servant C served food to His Highness and knocked over His Highness's plate, and His Highness must have passed without saying anything. On that day, His Highness looked at C coldly for a quarter of an hour. C almost died of fright.

C Servant: Boom......

The low pressure was approaching, because the servants who were usually treated gently and sensitively, and the servants who had felt unwell for a few days were telepathic, and suddenly the birds and beasts scattered, before Peng Xiu, who was about to pass by, arrived.

A gray-black mass hid in his shadow, following in unison.

"It's dusk, is it okay to be outside?" asked Peng Xiu, who was a little depressed but still a good leader.

"Boom...... cough cough ......" seemed to cough to himself with a strange smile, and his voice was full of grievances. "Yes, of course there is. ”

"Then go back indoors and come out in the evening. Peng Xiu ordered stiffly, but his hand unconsciously raised the cloak behind him, blocking the light from the gray-black fog, and his steps were a little slower.

"No, Boss, when are we leaving?" the ghost continued to say aggrieved......ly, but the strange voice and the inexplicable tail sound sounded like a permeating danger.

"Do you think I don't want to go. Peng Xiu was a little irritated and unbuttoned the golden button on the ascetic high collar, revealing his sexy Adam's apple, and once again shielded the ghost, and continued irritably. "Those old bastards, either they want to take advantage of Peng Yu's bastard not to forcibly occupy power, or Peng Yu's henchmen come to find trouble every day. ”

"It's more troublesome than when the eldest prince is away. Why don't I kill them, ......," the ghost said.

"It's not impossible. Peng Xiu heard the suggestion and touched his chin happily.

Now it's the ghost's turn to be uncertain. Is what the boss said true? Isn't the boss a very good-looking person? Why is it so violent all of a sudden, if Robert comes back and knows that he goes to the boss to kill the minister, will he smoke it out? But he really wanted to go out.

"Go get Donald, get me. You don't have to kill them, but you can't live too comfortably. You go to him first, and in three days we will depart. ”

Donald, isn't he an expert at stealing chickens and dogs? What is Boss Peng looking for him to do? The ghost was a little confused, but when he heard that he could leave in three days, he happily went to look for it.

Donald was a little upset. How did this mist kidnap him to His Highness? Scared him to death.

Three days later.

Servant A: Hey, did you hear that? Your Highness is out. I seem to be in a good mood when I go out.

Servant B: Concerned about that Gansa, when is His Highness not good. None of that matters anymore.

Servant A: What's important?

Servant B: Haven't you heard? The wife of the Minister of War and Aircraft slept with the grandson of the Minister of Finance and was caught by the Minister of War and Aircraft, and the Minister of Defense turned out to be a homosexual, and he liked his groom, and he was caught and raped by his wife. And, there's ......

Servant A: Is it so exciting? What's wrong with the world? It's still our Highness's mansion clean. Your Highness, don't be annoyed by them.

C Servant: Boom......

Servant A: Why is she crying?

Servant B: The groom is her fiancé!

Servant A: Ah...... Forget it, there is no grass at the end of the world, why bother to love a tree. Isn't that Donald interesting to you? Although there was a bit of a stain on him before, His Highness appreciated him, and I saw yesterday that His Highness was in a good mood and praised him for doing a good job.

C Servant: Boom...... Also consider considering.
