"Damn! What a lot of fire! How many people are coming!" Cynthia cut a bloody hole in the shard on her cheek, slowly oozing blood. "Hide and don't come out!!"

She pounced on her, a tumbling roll, and three bullets in a row hit the ground behind her, splashing a large cloud of dust. Cynthia got up and shot it.

Bang. There was an exclamation outside the door, and a black shadow was hit, and it arrived. The gunfire also happened to slow down and stopped.

The Rio sheriff roared, reached out and fired several shots.

There were three more muffled grunts outside the door, and it was clear that someone had been hit again.

Garon hid behind the sculpture and listened to the gunfire thinning out. Cynthia and Sheriff Rio fought back while covering each other, gradually suppressing the gunfire outside.

I don't know how long it was, ten minutes, or fifteen minutes. The gunfire finally stopped.

"It's over?" he crept his head out to look.

The hall was a mess. The Sheriff of Rio and his men were all wounded, and there were originally more than a dozen policemen, but now only two are still alive, and the rest are unknown in their lives and deaths. The sheriff himself had been shot in the shoulder, his coat had been dragged off, and his white shirt was half dyed red, and he was gasping for breath and half-sitting on the ground by the door.

Seeing Garon look over, the sheriff turned his face in shame.

The panther was tending to a gunshot wound on his left arm, his mouth biting a white bandage and bandaging himself. Cynthia and the two remaining men gathered together and gathered their equipment without saying a word.

"Is Latin still alive?" Cynthia asked faintly.

"I don't know! Maybe. A subordinate took a knife and gently dug out the bullet in his thigh, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. There was no answer in his mouth.

"It's a big loss this time, but those boys should find a way to hide on their own. Cynthia quickly rammed the pistol into the bullet, then pulled out a black shotgun from the backpack on the side and slid the shotgun into the chamber with a click.

"It's up to us now. ”

Garon retracted his gaze and hunched over and quietly moved towards the study, and Grace tried to follow, but he held him down and stayed where he was.

"I'll go alone, you stay where you are!"

"Hmm. ”

In the face of bullets that everyone else was very troublesome, he was not afraid, even if the tenth golden ring blocked him from shooting yesterday, it didn't cause much damage. The main thing he felt troublesome was the Ninth Ring. He was sure that the reason why the other party had an absolute advantage, but until now he had not rushed in directly, the real reason may be because he was afraid of him.

Quietly walked to the study by the corner, crossed the corridor, and entered the somewhat dark study, and then Garon straightened up and stood up.

There were a few new footprints at the underground entrance to the study, apparently someone had followed suit.

Bang bang!

A shootout broke out again in the lobby outside.

Garon gently pressed the gun hole in his lower abdomen, and there was a faint pain. When the injury was not completely healed, he is now at most eighty percent of his strength. In the face of the stronger Ninth Golden Ring, he also did not want to confront the opponent head-on.

"Now the doom antique is only secondary, you have to find a way to get out of here! I didn't expect Jinhuan to really have the courage to confront the police brigade head-on. He regretted coming to Silver Gauze Castle a little bit. He is different from Tari Mercury and others, he only came for the doom antique, not to find out the facts of the case.

"Gotta find a way to get out of here safely"

Rumble!!

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound outside, and the sound of a violent explosion shook the entire castle.

"Die, damn the miscellaneous!" Cynthia's sacher voice came from the hall. Apparently the explosives planted by her people exploded.

Garon's heart relaxed a little, with the deterrence of explosives, the people outside should not dare to approach easily for the time being, after all, they don't know how much explosives are buried around the ancient castle.

"Wait, wait for the detective to come out and then leave together. Maybe there will be unexpected gains" "Anyway, I can't leave now, it's better to guard the entrance, wait for the tower detectives to come out, maybe they may get the doom antiques, and it's not too late to leave safely when the time comes."

Garon is confident that if he wants to retreat, neither the firearms nor the masters of the Golden Ring will be able to stop him!

Walking to the entrance, Garon was about to sit down and rest, when he suddenly felt a little chilly on the edge of the entrance.

"Isn't it?" he suddenly straightened. "Is it windy?"

He reached out at the entrance and felt it.

A faint breeze could be felt in the palm of his hand gushing out of the entrance.

"Sure enough, there must be other exits from this entrance!"

Garon's expression was shocked, and his face suddenly showed joy. He was about to get up and head back down the hall to inform the others.

When he turned around, he actually saw a dark shadow blocking the door of the study, looking at him quietly.

The shadow wore a black cloak and wore a large gold ring on his left ear, on which was engraved the number 9. Judging from the figure, this is a strong and well-proportioned man, covered with a black mask, revealing only a pair of clear blue eyes, like the sapphire phoenix eyes of a beautiful woman.

"Is this the entrance to the underground?" the man asked in a low voice, his accent very standard Federal. "It's Detective Tari, we haven't been looking for it for so long, and he found it as soon as he came. It's just wonderful. ”

Garon turned around and listened carefully to the sound on the other side of the hall, where there was still a thumping shootout, apparently the man had sneaked in on his own.

Without waiting for him to speak, the man continued.

"Kelly, I heard that you are an expert in identifying doom antiques, so come down with me to have a look. If I can prove your talent, I can not kill you. ”

Garon's eyes were stunned, and he told Detective Tari that it didn't take long for the people of the Golden Ring to know.

The man, as if thinking he didn't believe it, reached out and pressed against the wall on the left.

Click!

Suddenly, a slight crack appeared on the wall, like glass about to shatter.

"If you don't, that's what will happen to you. ”

Garon glanced at the walls, and he could do that with that level of cracking, the walls of the castle here were already in disrepair, and the stone bricks were extremely fragile. What made him strange was that this Ninth Golden Ring didn't treat him as a martial arts master at all, but thought that he was just an ordinary expert, just a little stronger.

It's okay to use that hand on the wall to scare ordinary people, but it's not a deterrent for masters. What's more, it's a warrior like him who is known for his liliang.

"Didn't he know about me wounding the Tenth Ring?" Garon guessed in his mind. But the mouth answered. "The master of the Golden Ring, as long as you keep me safe, I'm fine. "He wanted to go down and have a look.

"Good timidity. Seeing that he was not afraid, a hint of appreciation flashed in the man's eyes, nodded, and took the lead to the entrance, walking down the stairs step by step. "Come with me. Don't play tricks. Even if you practice a little martial arts, I can kill you in a matter of seconds. ”

Garon nodded.

"Don't worry. I am well aware of the situation. He followed the man down the stairs to the underground entrance.

Click

The two of them walked down the stone staircase, and after a while, they completely entered the entire underground space.

The space is cylindrical, with a circle of black stone stairs against the walls, and a ring of white metal handrails around the edges of the ladders. Garon looked down through the armrest.

Below is a circle of staircases that stretches infinitely into the darkness, like a thread in the inner wall of a cylinder, and in the center is a small black hole, which cannot be seen at all.

Looking up, the entrance was just a small hole.

The entire threaded staircase rotates clockwise, one circle after another. Strangely, the stairs and handrails, as well as the surrounding walls, are exquisitely decorated, with fine vine patterns carved into the walls and handrails. The rest at the foot of the stone staircase is unusually smooth and heavy, as if the whole stone was built together.

The two of them walked one after the other, and the man in the black cloak walked in front, and the back of the cloak was raised back from time to time, faintly wafting a trace of elegant fragrance.

Garon followed behind, and after smelling the fragrance, he felt a sense of refreshment.

"Here, if you don't pay attention to the aroma of the vine, no matter how many people come in, you can only be sent to death. The man walked in front and whispered, "Don't get too far away from me, or I won't be able to take care of you." ”

"Good. Garon nodded.

The two of them walked down in a circle, and the surroundings were always the same. If it weren't for Gareon's occasional glance up to look at the smaller and smaller entrance, he would probably have thought that he hadn't gone far at all, just kept going in circles.

I don't know how long I walked, maybe more than half an hour.

Garon looked up again, and the entrance was completely out of sight, and it was pitch black above. The only light source around was a small torch in the hand of the Ninth Golden Ring in front of him.

The orange-yellow firelight illuminates the upper and lower circles of the area one or two times.

The temperature in the stairwell was getting colder, and Garon saw that his breath was a white mist.

"How long are you going to walk? It's already cold in here, no wonder you're wearing such thick clothes. "Anyway, there are detectives and others in front of him to explore the way, it is difficult to encounter danger, and now that the ninth golden ring is in front, he doesn't care at all. After all, I don't know the extent of this person, and it is better to hide it without a head-on conflict in his current state.

"This staircase will never be completed," the cloaked man replied in a low voice, "This is an endless staircase derived from the ancient sound, which is said to be a stone staircase leading to the dead Shijie. ”

"Do you believe it's really not finished?" asked Garon rhetorically.

The man stopped talking.

The two of them continued in silence, the walls were black, the stone steps on the ground were also black, only the handrails were white, and there was a faint hint of ominous whiteness in the firelight.

The stairwell was unusually quiet, and the detectives who came in front of them didn't know what was going on, and there was no movement at all.

Walking down in silence, I don't know how long it took, and the monotonous staircase in front of me finally appeared in a different place.

A stone table appears next to the left side of the wall, and a square fish tank is placed on it.

The fish tank is sealed, half filled with water, and you can vaguely see that there are still fish in it.

The man in the cloak lowered his torch and leaned over to take a look.

The water in the fish tank is already black-green, like very viscous fecal water, and the three or four dead goldfish in it are no longer golden-red, but black-green, floating on the surface of the water I don't know how long they have been dead.

"I didn't think there were goldfish here," Garon wondered, "such a deep place." ”

"There's so much more you can't think of. The Ninth Golden Ring said lightly. Raise the torch and continue walking.

Garon passed by the fish tank, couldn't help but look at it, and followed closely.

"Since it's a fish tank, it's something for raising goldfish. weishenme to be sealed?"

"It's a simple ritual in ancient times. Seal the life and let him die slowly inside until it completely decays, and merges with the other ingredients inside. Even the souls melt together. Wait until this time to open the seal and eat everything inside, eating the flesh and soul of the creatures inside. It is said to be a ritual method that can lead to immortality. The man explained lightly.

"It's disgusting. Garon was speechless.
