Volume 2 Linglong Pavilion, Lore Sticker Chapter 68 Discover the Tunnel
In the cold wind, Zhao Kai hid in the dark, carefully following the drunkard who had only one side of the relationship just now, and wanted to dig something deep according to the unusual evil aura.
The man in front of him didn't realize that he had lost the important little porcelain vase, and he didn't feel that someone was following him closely, and he was so drunk that he just wanted to get to his destination quickly, and then he could sleep happily.
Time passed minute by minute, Qin Wanchen had returned home, but she still couldn't worry about Zhao Kai, who was walking alone, and wanted to run out to find someone, but she didn't know where Zhao Kai was now, so she had to give up, so she could only stay in the house and continue to cook her dinner, waiting for Zhao Kai to knock on the door and bring back the news of peace.
Zhao Kai followed the footsteps of the person in front of him and walked a long way, during which he passed by many houses, which was equivalent to passing through layers of residential areas, from the east of Qin Yanchen's house to the west of the city, Zhao Kai was only able to barely remember the way he came by relying on a good sense of direction and cultivated super memory.
The snow and dark night were sparsely populated, but now the surroundings are even quieter, dead silence, Zhao Kai looked around, and saw many semi-finished houses that had not been built, and then remembered that there was still a piece of broken construction left in the west of the city, waiting for the people to clean up after the New Year.
Looking at the posture of the people in front of them heading straight here, it is clear that there must be something wrong with this dilapidated group of houses. Zhao Kai adjusted his breathing, his steps became lighter and lighter, and he entered the mode of extreme vigilance, he did not follow it when he was idle and had nothing to do, but the evil breath in the bottle was too extraordinary, he really couldn't rest assured, worried that something would happen to this scarred one.
If it were in the past, Zhao Kai would not have tracked all the way so hard, he had always aimed to be alive after he went out of the underground of the Shadow Killing Palace, not to mention that he was the prince of Dafeng, and now that he had come to Dachu, he naturally would not have any feelings for the people and things here.
For him, the task of the Shadow Killing Hall is the task, and he will definitely complete it well in order to avoid punishment, but he doesn't have the heart to do anything at all, after all, it's none of his business, although he is not a cold-blooded person, but the dangers that may arise around him at all times do not allow him to abuse his abilities at all, if it is because he is soft-hearted and nosy, which leads to the leakage of some of his secrets, or affects the assessment of the Shadow Killing Palace, it is too cost-effective.
It's just that now, his whole mentality has completely changed.
After experiencing the tragedy of the Heavenly Demon War, Zhao Kai saw the difficulties and joys and sorrows of the world when the crisis came, and understood that these people of Dachu are also flesh and blood fragile creatures, they also work diligently and live seriously, even if they will make some mistakes, but this is also human nature.
However, a man-made catastrophe ruthlessly stripped away their lives, ruthless and did not leave half a penny, the generation of the Demon Sect who lost all their conscience completely aroused the anger in Zhao Kai's heart, Zhao Kai no longer wanted to see any tragedy caused by the Demon Sect as a demon, the young man's view of right and wrong was so direct, Zhao Kai did not live up to the spirit and heart that he should have at this age.
The drunkard in front of him seems to have eased his strength, or he is trying to lift his spirit, although his steps are still staggering, but his body is no longer shaking from side to side like a pendulum, it can be seen from this point that this person is by no means an ordinary person, because he should have a sobriety that does not fall, from just now to now, the walking route is full of turns, but still not the wrong way, even if he is drunk to this point, he can still strengthen his mind and control his body, and he should also be a practitioner.
The two of them have completely walked into the broken house group, surrounded by some roofless half of the walls, in the dark night by the moonlight that is not bright, Zhao Kai can see faintly, but it can be confirmed that the front is still full of this kind of unformed buildings, and there is no trace of other people's haunts, but in the confusion in his heart, he found that there is no snow in an area under the man's feet, that is to say, this is artificially cleaned.
The man in front stopped here, he squatted down and tapped the ground with his fingers a few times, knock, Zhao Kai heard it very clearly, and could confirm that it was not the sound that could be made by tapping the ground at all, but like a wooden plank.
There is an underground secret room here, Zhao Kai's heart is pounding, he thought that it would be enough for someone to connect, but he didn't expect that there was a secret basement hidden here, it seems that he really found something terrible.
After a while, the place where the drunken ghost stood made the sound of objects moving, and the wooden planks rubbed against the snow and there was not much movement, Zhao Kai clearly saw that there was a bright light coming out of the ground, illuminating the snow around him, which was particularly abrupt in the dark night.
The drunken man turned over and jumped down without hesitation, and disappeared on the ground in just a blink of an eye, and then there was a sound of wooden planks moving, and only when the darkness once again covered the light just now, Zhao Kai walked forward quickly, tiptoed to a close place, and lay on the ground without fear of the cold, putting his ear on the cold plank, listening carefully to the sound inside.
There was indeed a sound coming from underground, but it was only through the wooden plank, and I don't know what the structure was underneath, buzzing, I couldn't really hear it, but I vaguely heard some polite words.
"You kid is drunk again, we must be very cautious in our actions now, you are so careless, you will be good-looking when the time comes!"
"Brother Ang, it's not that you don't know my little brother's temperament, I'm a drunkard like a person, and besides, we're not those wastes who haven't done anything, I haven't lost any of the brains I should have, and naturally I won't fall into flaws, when did you see me make a mistake. ”
"I'm saying that who doesn't know your ghost nickname, but today the helmsman is here, and I'm afraid you can't learn a lesson. ”
"The helmsman is here, good girl, why didn't you say it earlier, Angkor, so that I could prepare well in advance"
The sound of conversation became smaller and smaller, until finally it was no longer clear to hear, Zhao Kai confirmed that it was not just a small basement inside, it was obvious that the space was huge, otherwise the voices of the two would not have been lowered until they disappeared, they should have left the underground opposite the wooden plank and went to other places.
In his heart, Zhao Kai still did not give up the idea of continuing to investigate, the boldness of the artist is not an empty word, at least Zhao Kai is very confident in the strength of his Ayaluo realm, as well as the secret hole cards hidden in his body.
It seems that there should be a lock on the top of the plank, which must be opened from the inside, Zhao Kai was not discouraged, and pulled out an emergency dagger bound from his waist, and took advantage of the fact that there was no movement inside, so he began to slowly cut the plank little by little, wanting to cut the half of the plank that was not bound by the big lock.
It's just that even if the power is well controlled, a certain sound will still be generated, so Zhao Kai has no choice but to rest for a while, using this pause time to numb those who may hear movement.
Finally, the blade came to the end from the apex, a perfect vertical line divided the plank into two halves, Zhao Kai carefully pushed the plank, regardless of the passage of time, the plank moved slowly little by little, and soon a small slit was revealed from the middle of the two sides, and suddenly the candlelight on the ground was revealed, and most of it was covered by Zhao Kai's side face, leaving only a little light to restore the color of the snow.
Zhao Kai's eyes rolled, carefully observing the underground structure, but there was no gorgeous decoration, surrounded by chiseled earthen walls, under the reflection of the candle flame, the space was full of dust and slag debris, it was obvious that this was the tunnel that was simply dug out by hand, but a wooden board was put on the entrance, and the road was closed by heavy snow, and the uninhabited characteristics of the broken house group were cleverly hidden.
Although he didn't hear the sound of someone moving nearby, Zhao Kai still didn't jump down directly, but just pulled open the wooden plank again, stuck his head upside down, and then completely saw all the objects in the underground here.
Sure enough, it is a tunnel that extends in all directions, Zhao Kai sighed in his heart, and he could see that the bottom of the wooden board was just a simple entrance, because one side of the wall was completely sealed, obviously not excavated, and the light on the other side extended far away, there should be a hall over there, there were many people, and it seemed that many people were active.
Zhao Kai jumped into the ground, quickly moved the plank, and restored its position, at least people couldn't see that there were gaps without careful observation, and after doing this, he hurriedly dodged and leaned against the slightly concave wall on one side, holding his breath tightly, not daring to make any movement, because a figure was walking towards this side.
That person should be a person in charge of patrolling, but every move reveals a full ruffian, obviously not a specially trained master, that is, a gangster, Zhao Kai breathed a sigh of relief, but he also didn't dare to be careless, his side happened to be a concave corner, but a small part of his shadow was still reflected on the bright ground, if the person observed carefully, he naturally couldn't let go of this clue.
It's just that the little gangster obviously doesn't have the ability, he does things so-so, and he doesn't notice the difference here at all, but the other party's footsteps have not stopped, and the distance between the two is still gradually shortening, and if it goes on like this, even if that person is a complete sloppy, he will definitely find the figure cowering in the corner.
Zhao Kai's brain was running rapidly, and at this time he could clearly hear the other party's breathing, his heart was pounding, even if he was of excellent quality, he could not deny the nervousness at the moment.
Just when the dagger in Zhao Kai's hand was raised again, and he was about to swing it down quickly when the man approached, the other party suddenly stopped, looked up with his head up, and looked puzzled
Zhao Kai followed the other party's line of sight, and his nervous mood suddenly rose to the top, because there was a watermark in the middle of the wooden board that was formed by the snow seeping and melting, which was the gap he had cut.
