Chapter 1010: Trouble......
It's still three days of calm and calm, but this time the main shot turns back to the underground passage......
Day 1,
In the outer area of the passage, the purification chamber.
"Whew...... Whoosh...... Gollum ...... Gollum ......"
Looking at the square skin that seemed to bulge slightly but didn't bulge much at his feet, Jack put down the kettle in his hand and let the cold ice water in his mouth slowly moisten his dry throat. Half-ringing, he raised his head and sighed, kneading and moving his aching jaw, and there was some regret in his heart......
In fact, when Don took out the simple design drawings of this small kayak before, he also had an inflatable device along the way. It's just that the time is relatively short, and these two things are new. Therefore, the level of the alchemy studio that Rao is found by Philip is not low, but the final product is still a little unsatisfactory.
Among them, the small kayak is not a big problem, as long as the right material can be found, it is not difficult to make this thing. The key is the inflatable device, although the finished product basically meets Donne's expectations, but the shape and appearance that takes time to carve are a little less interesting...... To put it simply, it is a bit large in size, which is not easy to store and carry.
You must know that the place they are going to infiltrate this time is the temple association, and they will die for a lifetime, so naturally they can't tolerate the slightest misfactor. So after a brief consideration, thinking that it was not just inflatable, Jack patted his chest and said that he must blow this thing up with his mouth to ensure that he would not delay things, and he would not bring the inflatable device that was not easy to carry......
It turns out that most of the things that can be blown out with your mouth are really unreliable.
It's only been half a day, looking at the abbot Fang who almost blew off his breath but didn't move much. Jack smashed his head and regretted it. I knew it was so. Before that, it was a bit of tiredness and a little risk. You should have carried that bulky inflator on your back......
It's too late to regret it!
When people regret it, they tend to feel sorry for themselves and get angry.
It's like drinking too much water and naturally wanting to go to the toilet.
So, when Jack poured a big gulp of cold water down his throat, which was about to smoke and catch fire, he threw down his skin and got up and walked to the entrance of a passage beside him, which was to find a secluded corner to solve the problem of draining water.
But after taking a few steps, it seemed like something suddenly came to mind. After a pause, Jack walked back with a lewd smile, walked around the water purification device a few times, laughed, unbuckled his trousers, and pointed to the waterway that led to the well, pond, bathroom, or kitchen.
Whoa......
Finally, Jack, who had a comfortable face, sat back in his place, and the depression in his heart was gone, and he picked up the skin again. Puff out your cheeks and snort...... Whoosh......
The other side. Owens is not so lacking in virtue.
First, because of such a personality, the brain hole is not as big as Jack's. Second, because of his task, there is really no room for lack of morality.
Born in the temple association, he naturally knows the terrain here better than Donn and Jack. Even in the more than ten years he has been here, he has never walked in this underground passage. But the impressions that come naturally in his mind from long-term habits are enough to point him in the right direction.
So, after only half a day of crawling in the dark and complex labyrinthine underground passages, Owens was convinced that he had found his destination.
In fact, the ancient well above his head leading to the ground was the closest entrance to the underground passage where Xia Wei'an had raised her baby. Even when Owens touched it, Mia was fetching buckets of water from the well to wash her and Shavian's clothes......
Don wasn't so lucky.
After climbing for most of the day, after looking at the topographical map of the temple at hand, Don was convinced that he might have lost his way......
Well, it's really not funny, and it's really not unexpected.
As I just said, the area of this island is not big, but it is definitely a lot small, and there are nearly 10,000 people living in it.
Tang En had expected this, so he naturally didn't panic about getting lost. In fact, getting lost here is not a big problem, the real difficulty lies in loneliness and state of mind!
Crawling back and forth through the dark passages, like the ships that deviated from their predetermined orbits and shuttled through the vast universe in later generations. It seems to be on the road, but in fact it is a lonely soul. There is no way back, and there is no end in sight. Every qiē is unknown and fearful, and the maddening quiet environment outside will magnify these unknown fears.
How small are people in it, like dust...... How to deal with yourself?
Fortunately, the characters in this world who can endure loneliness and keep the lake of their hearts are not only astronauts, but also Donn, the killer.
What he is best at is precisely before he makes a move, this kind of boring waiting that is almost sitting in meditation and sitting on the death pass!
After a short rest, Don ate some dry food that he had prepared in advance, and then left a mark on the stone wall of the passage beside him, and continued on his way......
There are many and many types of such marks that are marked in inconspicuous places. Although the method is a bit stupid, it can effectively prevent repeated guò and waste time.
In addition, what can also point out the direction of Donn are the various fixed wells, ponds, fountains, and other things that he encountered along the way. In the eyes of Don now, this is a landmark building that can't be more dazzling.
Finally, after a long day of crawling, following a waterway with a strong current, Donn came across a large pond, or more accurately, a large ornamental pool. Through the hollowed-out barbed wire, he saw beautiful small fish of different colors swimming leisurely, as well as water lotus flowers in high bloom......
Fish are ornamental fish, selected by thousands, and are not cheap. The water lotus seems to be an ordinary species, but the delicate one-leaf 襤uànǔこ山蟆 (2) charcoal 矗苡行劬嵋huan 嚚莆兜 Lai Mo even gray arm yellow swelling ā
In fact, it is exactly like this, this fish and this flower are very precious, and they can't be seen anywhere else, and there is no royal castle. This is the only one in the world, and there is no semicolon, so it is also very recognizable. Whether it is Philip or the second prince, they have all talked to Donne. This flower is planted next to the stone path in front of the main hall of the temple headquarters, come here and see this flower. It also shows that Tang En has really touched the core of the temple association.
It's not easy...... Tang En looked at the swaying water lotus through the clear water. sighed with emotion. He then lowered his head and made an important mark on the map, then gathered his slightly happy mood and continued to crawl forward along the underground passage.
Coming to the heart doesn't mean anything, Don is here to kill, not to sightsee. This is just an ornamental pool, not a must-visit bedroom every day. Unless the Pope would come to the balustrade of this pool on a whim and lean down to admire the fish up close...... And will the Pope do that? Maybe, maybe not. But most won't, so that doesn't make much sense to Donn.
If you didn't say anything, keep climbing......
......
The next day,
Owens sat by the underground passage under the well, meditating with his eyes closed, motionless for a long time, like a bronze statue.
If there are no accidents, this position will last for several days. This is not to say that Owens wants to become a magician, he is just waiting. Of course, if you have to say that he doesn't carry much dry food. Maintaining a fixed posture for a long time can reduce the amount of energy used in the body...... Yes, you can too.
As for why it had to be done. Why don't you go out and rescue Shavien now. The reason is simple, Don's side hasn't done it yet.
If the water is not muddy, it is naturally not good to fish in muddy waters......
Unlike Owens, who was sitting dry, Jack's side was a bit too much exercise. Fortunately, he had not yet penetrated into the hinterland of the passage, and he could follow the route back to the lake at any time and anywhere, and catch fish and roast them underwater around the island...... Well, that's exactly what Jack did.
No way, his task is indeed heavy. The gas that was constantly stirring up the lobes of his lungs was spit out, as if it was also spitting out the food in his stomach. Even if he had just finished eating, the whole person felt empty, and he almost kicked his legs and rose into the air into the otherworldly heaven, and turned into an immortal...... Fortunately, the efforts were not in vain, and the skin that seemed to bulge slightly under his feet really bulged up slightly this time.
Jack felt a sense of accomplishment and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he decided to scold something......
It must be faced that Jack's psychological qualities are not as good as those of Donn and Owens, or that he is out of step by nature and can't bear loneliness. So in the current lonely environment where everyone can only enjoy it alone, he must do something to vent, so that he can better regulate his body and mind and not make himself crazy.
To sum up, yesterday I neutralized the water source with a liquid rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other inorganic salts in the body, and today I started the group mocking mode and spitting saliva.
Scolding the Pope...... Because the other party was the main reason why he fell into this situation......; Because the other party was the direct cause of his tiring work here, he scolded Bowes...... Because the other party once hurt him......
There is one counts as one, and there is a scolding that will not be let go. Occasionally, he cursed himself, because it was his hot-headed self that caused him to come here by himself......
On the other side, Don, who was sneezing a few inexplicably, was still lost and crawling.
It's just that unlike yesterday, today he not only found wells and ponds, but also kitchens, bathrooms, and other places where water is often used. And, of course, toilets...... Being able to touch these areas with a strong sense of life indicates that Don has infiltrated the rear of the temple headquarters.
As for the feelings, it's hard to put into words......
Don had smelled the mouth-watering deliciousness of fresh food, and he had smelled the unavoidable stench of stale things. Don had seen the garbage and excrement slowly flowing down the waterway, and he had also seen the body of Miao Man in the hot mist of a nun's bathroom...... Ahem, just passing by occasionally and taking a look, just a glance......
......
Day 3,
Owens is still meditating in the same posture.
Jack's side was much quieter, because he scolded too hard yesterday, and today he woke up to find that he had lost his voice. Fortunately, although the loss of voice was so strict that he couldn't speak, it didn't affect his blowing very much, so he could continue to fight with the skin. It's just that the sound is a little weird, whining, echoing in the dark and quiet passage, like a ghost crying, which makes people shudder.
Don didn't continue to climb today, he stopped, thinking, a little ugly look under the filth of his face, more and more ugly......
After many attempts yesterday, crawling through the marked underground passages, Don discovered a serious problem - he couldn't get close to the destination marked on the map, that is, the rear of the Temple General Assembly, the Pope's area of activity.
No matter which passage you choose, as soon as you get a little closer to that area, you will be straight into a dead end!
This is of course not normal, the Pope is also a human being, and he also has to eat and drink Lazar. In this way, it is naturally impossible for his area to be free of underground passages, but the actual situation now is not ...... Don pondered for a moment, and felt that there was only one explanation for this situation. That is, the underground passages in that area are independent and self-contained, and are not integrated into the overall underground passages of the Temple.
Be careful! Be cautious! Be a thief!
This situation was undoubtedly unexpected by Donne, and it is believed that Philip, Owens, the second prince and others also did not know. Even Don was suspicious that no one in the temple, including the Pope, could remember this, except for the guy who had designed and built the underground passage in the first place.
For the nine points of the mountain, it fell short!
Trouble......
The special environment of the temple will determine that Don cannot go up to the ground, and can only make a fuss in the underground passage. His original sketchy plan was to quietly infiltrate the pope's activity area, then choose a private place such as a bathroom or bedroom, and launch an assassination to kill the pope in one blow. As long as this step is successful, then create chaos, send a signal to Owens' side to take advantage of the chaos, rescue Shavien, and finally leave the island in a kayak blown up by Jack...... But now, the first step hit the south wall......
Don, there are still opportunities, there are still flaws, there must be ...... Leaning against the cold stone wall of the passage, all the evils around him were coming, but Tang En, who was in it, was unaware, frowning, and his eyes were like tigers-
............ (To be continued......)
