Episode on the Way Home (14) Another entrance to the labyrinth

Danfeng Town, Jiaohua Hall.

The tightly covered white curtain was gently blown by the breeze, stirring up the slightest crevice, leaving room for prying eyes, and it seemed that a man had fallen into a deep sleep, strangely with a white cloth on his face, without the slightest undulation.

That's the dead Adore.

The monks waited for the final inspection with heavy, slowly drawn curtains.

But with the exception of Edward and the monk, the rest of the room had no interest in the cause of the corpse's death, and they focused more on the black-haired young man who was bandaging in a corner of the room.

"Brother Ying, why don't we go back first, don't care about this bad thing. Go back and recuperate. Melson said.

At this time, the sun shadow was stripped of the wide and thick black coat that was usually tightly wrapped, and the black shirt that was still tightly wrapped but soft and relaxed was left, which could reveal a white and slender neck, like a white swan stretching, but this white swan was injured, and it still needed to expose the shoulder blades that were still oozing blood.

He shook his head and said calmly. "Nothing. I don't ...... it," and before he finished speaking, he was stopped by the sudden pain. I felt that the strength of the hand on my shoulder sank slightly, and the wound that was about to stop bleeding increased again.

"Roh!" Melson shouted as he saw something was wrong.

Robert's gloomy face became even more gloomy, but he immediately relaxed the force in his hand and stopped the bleeding from the wound again.

"I think we're going to kill them all. Miga said as he walked out.

"I don't think I can just leave it at that. Mi Jian said in a calm voice, suppressing his anger.

"It was too cheap to kill them all. Robert said almost through gritted teeth, his anger even greater than theirs.

"Don't be angry, everyone. Sunshadow smiled wryly. As soon as the rarely softened tone of begging for mercy came out, the rare grievance Babaga made everyone a little confused.

Robert's depression seemed to dissipate at once, and he frowned and sighed, this boy was injured for his sake after all.

For Hikage, this was only a minor injury as a last resort, and although the process was extremely unpleasant, the severity of the injury was not worth mentioning, and Sunkage did not bother to take revenge on the other monks at all. But what Nikkage didn't expect was how much everyone cared about him, and the fact that the usually proud old men were forced to accept the humiliation of their companions' injuries.

But they all know after all that some compromises are helpless, and some choices are difficult to go back. People as smart as them, no matter how indignant they are, can judge the situation, give up the battle of will at this time, and no longer criticize Sunkage, nor themselves.

"Xiaoying, next time you get hurt, don't pick a special place, the wound last time hasn't healed yet, okay. Robert's anger, which had obviously diminished, said in a soft and helpless tone.

"Yes. Sunshade replied in a nasal voice, a little unnaturally, and then looked at Adore and asked, "How did he die?" ”

Robert followed him on, no longer dwelling on the injured question and replied. "He dried up and died. ”

"No way, he's not a fish. Edward, hearing Robert's answer, retorted with some disbelief, and by the way got the white cloth covering Adore's corpse, and was momentarily frightened.

That's no longer the personable Adore that everyone knows. His convex eyes seemed to be dead, but the brown eyeballs in the pupils disappeared, leaving only the cloudy whites of the eyes, and his face was iron and blue, pale without a trace of blood, like a dehydrated dead fish. He was breathing heavily, but he seemed to die of pain.

The blue-green scales on the body are disappearing little by little, but they leave behind the pale skin that is soaked and rotten, and the wrinkled skin is turned over, and there is no trace of the once well-maintained appearance.

It's just a day, but it's just an impulse. In the end, the lights went out, and they weren't even there at the end. It's sad and indescribable, and it's hard to know that it's not feasible, and it doesn't have to be a trouble. It is the surprise of the tragedy on the other side, and it is also the guilt of the inaction of the tragedy on the other side.

Edward asked, looking at Robert. "No wonder Crowe was so emotional. Why is it so sudden, and the death is so miserable?"

Robert shook his head. "You've only been gone for a moment, and that's it. Suddenly deteriorating, unknown and unable to be treated, they even used the medical holy light technique, but it still had no effect. ”

Robert pondered for a moment and continued. "As far as I can speculate, it seems that the body has some kind of mutation, but it doesn't fit, and once you reach the top, you will die if you don't succeed. ”

"Mutation?" Edward asked, surprised. "Are you going to mutate into something? monsters?"

"Shadow, have you heard of Nielid?" Robert asked Sunshadow.

Sunshadow nodded. "The legend of Neelid, the lord of the sea, the spirit of the water, is also said to be a creature whose human soul turned into when a man dies in the sea, and is also called a mermaid. But isn't that a legend? Don't you doubt ......?"

Rob nodded, "I suspect someone is practicing." The changes in Adore are proof of this. ”

"This can't be ......" Sun Shadow said that the confidence was a little insufficient, and the shadows of some people suddenly flashed in his heart. But this is not the place, who could do such a thing.

"What can't be? I don't understand at all. What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing? Melson asked.

"Luo, you're checking Ador's past, Mi Jian, you stay. Let's explore the veins again. Sunshadow didn't answer Melson, but stood up and was about to walk out.

"Hey, you're hurt," Robert said. But the man is gone.

Vein.

"Brother Shadow, aren't we going in?" Miga asked Sunshadow, who was standing at the gate of the vein, looking around.

Sunshadow shook her head, motioning not to enter, and explained. "To be able to commit murder in a mine must be extremely familiar with the situation here. The place where he went in and out of the vein was certainly not here, but it was certainly not too far away. We poke into the distance to find a new entrance. ”

"How can you be sure that it is not too far, this vein is so vast that I don't know where it extends, and it can become an entrance anywhere, and our people have already searched this vicinity. Edward said.

"Didn't Brother Ying say it before, the murderer of the girl is the same group of people who stopped the mining of the ore vein. Melson said disdainfully, "The murderer is from Danfeng Town, if he wants to keep going back and forth between Danfeng Town and the ore vein." How far do you think you're going to build your lair?"

"Uh...... I wasn't there when you said this...... "Edward was aggrieved.

The group dispersed and searched carefully as farther and deeper. There are no dirt slopes, no caves, and no burrows, only forests, fallen leaves, birds and beasts. The towering ancient cypress, struggling to grow upward, covering the sky and the sun without scruples, the breeze carries the bitterness of the ancient cypress, gently scratching the back of the traveler, chilling.

Just when everyone was still clueless, like headless flies, a cute red top hut appeared in everyone's sight.

"What is that place?" asked Edward, the Shadow.

"It's the ranger's hut. Edward replied.

"Is it inhabited?" asked Sunkage continued.

"Yes, there is an old man, very fierce. Several times we tried to move him to town, but he kicked him out. I also wanted to kill him, but he was elusive, and he didn't associate with anyone, so he didn't interfere with us much, so he didn't pay attention to him. Edward explained.

When Nikkage heard this, he didn't speak, but walked cautiously towards the hut. When they saw this, they followed.

The red spire, the wooden walls, the lovely huts with elaborate layouts, in the dim dense forest, the existence of contrasts, is extremely eerie.

It's also a cabin in the woods, but the contrast is really big. Sunshadow couldn't help but think of the cabin where the memories were kept, the cabin from which he started, warm and out of reach.

The wooden house in front of him did not look like it had been inhabited for a long time, as Edward said. The wooden ladders and handrails on both sides are covered with dust and leaves. The door was dilapidated, creaking open, as if it was about to fall at any moment, and it shook the dust all over the room, wafting in the air, and the smell of decay came to the face.

The three rooms were in the shape of a pin, and in the hall were some tables and chairs, and there was still unfinished soup on the table, which was already dark and had a disgusting taste. Dust fell on the chairs, and no one sat down. There are some marks on the floor, not too old, it seems that people are coming in and out, but the footprints are not deep, and the number of people is not large, and the signs are not obvious.

In a kitchen, everyone stood at the door with some hesitation, and a pungent fishy smell wafted out of it, making people nauseous. It's just that there is already a lethality at the door, and I don't know what it stinks like inside.

"Go to the bedroom. Sunshadow pointed to the other and said to Melson. He pinched his nose and walked into the kitchen, where he seemed to see the strange poisonous gas.

A small kitchen, scattered with many miscellaneous items, showing traces of life, traces of the life of a single old man, wine bottles than dishes and chopsticks, wine glasses can be seen everywhere. On the only stove, the black paste in the big saucepan can no longer see the ingredients, but the amount can still be seen, not the delicate life of chewing slowly.

The only discordant place in the kitchen, there is only one. The large number of knives of different shapes on the kitchen shelf. Two of them were also very similar to the boning knives that were suspected to be murder weapons found in Jiaohuatang before, and the boning knives combined the essence of the two in front of them, as if they were their purification plates. So, why does a person who doesn't have much pursuit of food need so many knives.

And where did this weird nauseous fishy smell come from?

"Brother Shadow, Brother Shadow. While Nikkage was still observing the kitchen, Melson's voice came from outside.

"Brother Shadow, look at this. Melson, ignoring the fishy smell of the sun, handed over a wig as if offering a treasure.

"The last time we saw that old thing, he was this hair, this beard. It shows that he is simply pretending. Nima, fooled. Edward said hatefully.

"Anything else?" asked Nikkage.

"Brother Ying, in such a small room, even if it is for beautification, there is no need to build a staircase at the door. As soon as Mott's words came out, Sunshadow's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what he meant.

The hut on the first floor has a staircase that is raised to hide the underground space.

Nikkage immediately rushed back to the kitchen, and he had a strong instinct that the entrance to the underground space was in the kitchen.
