As the moon peeks out from the clouds and the tidal phenomenon begins, the formerly submerged path is gradually revealed, deep and dark.
Even though the fluorite had been dropped in advance, the surroundings were still dark.
Seeing that Lei Zhong seemed to be still observing and hesitating, Yin Xiu simply stepped forward.
"Are you scared? How about the three of us go in front? You stay behind and follow?"
Lei Zhong did not look at him, but waved to his three subordinates with a cold face, "Get down!"
So a large number of people began to enter the cave.
Lei Zhong brought no more and no less this time. He brought nine masters, including himself, a total of ten people.
At this time, three people were leading the way, three people were guarding behind, and Lei Zhong led the remaining three people to "protect" Zhuowu and not let others get close.
Yin Xiu and the others were always under Lei Zhong's nose.
In fact, not only Yin Xiu and the others, but also Fang Yin were separated by them intentionally or unintentionally.
"It seems they don't trust you very much?" Yin Xiu asked.
Fang Yin rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you believe me at all? It makes no difference."
After a pause, she added: "Oh, yes, the difference between you and them is that you have this distrust written on your face, while they, I don't know whether it is out of some kind of reserve or so-called decency, It’s not that obvious.”
"Seriously, Yin Xiu, you disappoint me."
Yin Xiu smiled, "I know, but I don't care."
"You'd better mean it."
Fang Yin glared at him and walked forward.
At this time, the team had stretched into a long queue, and little bits of light shone out from the queue, which seemed loose but actually connected with each other.
After coming down from Holihuo Col, they dived into the underground river and walked straight up the bank along the fast-flowing river.
As the sound of water hitting the rocks became louder, the three people walking in front soon turned back.
"There is a waterfall in front, about ten meters high."
Lei Zhong couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.
From just now, judging from the sound of water falling, they must have been walking upwards. He originally thought they were almost at the top, but he didn't expect there was a waterfall with such a huge gap ahead, which surprised him.
"The world of Infernal Affairs is like this. It is strange and ever-changing, and there is no fixed route."
Zhuowu glanced at the compass in his hand, and then pointed forward.
"Just under the waterfall, there should be an entrance to the main altar."
Lei Zhong snorted coldly, "Should you? You don't know how to get to the main forum?"
"I have said it before," Zhuowu's face was still very indifferent, "Wujiang is a moving maze, there is no so-called fixed path, and this is especially true for the main altar. It is in some kind of change all the time."
"Maybe what we need is not a compass, but a difference engine." Luo Wei sighed.
"Difference engine?"
Lei Zhong glanced at him and said, "That kind of evil thing will only consume human and financial resources in vain. Can it really change anything? Or are you just asking God for help, so you put your hopes on the pile?" On top of scrap metal? ”
"Shattered metal?"
Luo Wei smiled and said, "Is this your understanding?"
"It's not a perception, it's a fact. One of those things was once transported into Ouchi. It was brought there by a missionary, but whether it was used to calculate the stars or anything else, it was extremely difficult to use.
Later, I don’t know what happened, but it disappeared. Maybe it was stolen by the eunuch and sold, or maybe someone piled it in the warehouse and no one could find it. ”
Lei Zhong didn't want to argue too much with Luo Wei on this matter, so he just waved, and several masters of the inner circle used light skills like falcons and dived into the waterfall.
The water curtain of the waterfall broke through several human-shaped openings in an instant, splashing water, and then restored itself, as if nothing had happened, just like before, like silk or cloth hanging down.
After a while, when Yin Xiu drank the second cup of double steamed wine, someone finally came out.
It was the person who was walking at the front, with thick eyebrows and a resolute face.
He clasped his hands in his fists and said, "Sir, there is indeed a passage inside, but when we went in and took a look, it was a forked road with three different directions."
Lei Zhong turned his head and looked at Zhuowu, "Which one?"
Zhuowu nuzzled his chin at him, "You'll know just after you go in and take a look."
"Okay!"
Lei Zhong was already furious with Zhuowu's mysterious guidance all the way, but he had no choice but to wave his hand and signal the man to lead the way.
So everyone put on their ponchos and got into the waterfall one after another.
It turns out that this waterfall is just the outermost "roller curtain", and the innermost part is wet but passable land covered with moss and fine pebbles.
Yin Xiu and the other three were in the middle of the team, closely following the spies in front.
But just after taking a few steps, the spy stopped and let out a surprised shout.
Lei Zhong immediately got angry and jumped out like a leopard, but when he first reached the spy's side, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Ahead was indeed the Sanchakou mentioned by the spies just now, but the other two companions waiting in front of the Sanchakou were already dead, their bodies were limp, and their eyes were wide open, as if they had seen something terrifying.
Lei Zhong was stunned for a moment, then turned around, his palms like iron claws reaching towards Zhuowu's throat, his face full of anger.
At this moment, Yin Xiu also reached out and blocked his arm, preventing Lei Zhong's fingertips from taking another step forward.
"What do you mean?" Lei Zhong asked.
"I should be asking you this."
Yin Xiu gave him a cold look, "Do you think Zhuowu deceived you and lured us into danger?"
"Isn't it true? People will die even if they walk for a long time?"
"We are here for adventure, not autumn outing."
After saying that, Yin Xiu glanced at Zhu Wu again. He still looked indifferent, as if he didn't care what the people around him thought of him.
Fang Yin ignored their argument and just squatted down to check the wounds on the two people.
After just a few glances, she raised her head and said, "This is not an injury that humans can cause."
"Huh?"
When Lei Zhong heard this, he walked forward and squatted next to the two corpses.
After a while, he finally raised his head, his face solemn.
"You are right, this is indeed not an injury that humans can cause."
Regarding killing, everyone in Ouchi Master Blood Drop is a master, or a first-rate master.
Whether it's a knife or a sword, a poison flying knife, or even a pencil or a bamboo stick, there's nothing that can't be used to kill people.
No one is more familiar with how to fake a death scene and leave no traces than they are.
But for the two people in front of him, after Lei Zhong turned them over, he saw two huge holes on their backs, with black blood flowing out. Although it looked like they had been pierced by a spear, the moment the murderous weapon penetrated their bodies, the spines of the two men were neatly broken in an instant, killing them with one blow.
In his impression, the only ones that could achieve this level were those ancient antiques from hundreds of years ago, the so-called bed crossbows.
But now is the age of firearms, who would still use that old thing?
And in such a narrow underground, it is obviously impossible to transport a bed crossbow.
What's more, the people who walked ahead to explore the path were very alert, and they would not be killed without doing anything in such a short period of time.
The opponent cannot be a master of concealed weapons, nor can he approach with the light skill of walking on the snow without leaving a trace.
In this case, it can only be a ghost or a monster...
Lei Zhong stood up and bowed to Zhuowu: "I'm sorry, I wrongly blamed you."
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Zhuowu shook his head calmly, "No need to apologize, it's not a big deal, I said, this is an opportunity.
It was a chance that I died, and it was also a chance that these two brothers died. ”
While the two were talking, Ma Xiaoyu gently touched the back of Yin Xiu's hand.
Yin Xiu lowered his head and saw a spell that had been half turned into ashes. Obviously, this was proof that they were infected by evil spirits.
Without making a sound, Yin Xiu held Ma Xiaoyu's hand, and when he separated it, the talisman had been put into his sleeve and disappeared.
Ma Xiaoyu glanced at him in surprise. After Yin Xiu's expression returned to normal, she immediately realized that Yin Xiu didn't want to make any noise.
So she walked aside calmly, kept silent, and just waited for Fang Yin and others to come to a conclusion.
After a while, Lei Zhong and Fang Yin finally reached a consensus - to move on.
As a result, two more people from the rear were called to the front, and together with the spies who had survived earlier, they formed a three-person vanguard team.
Everyone walked around the two corpses, assuming they were rocks or driftwood, and stepped over them expressionlessly.
All lifeless things underground are no different from vegetation in the eyes of everyone.
Although she didn't care, Yin Xiu still intentionally or unintentionally ran her fingers across their bodies when she stepped over the corpse, staining them with a trace of black bruises.
[Bloody Memories], activate...
Yin Xiu's surroundings immediately became dark.
That's right, it's pitch black, without those glowing jellyfish, and without a small world.
Just endless darkness.
Just when Yin Xiu thought that what she touched was not blood, dots of green light suddenly appeared in the darkness.
Like flies, like stars, both dazzling and disgusting.
He was very sure that this was the memory space he would enter after relaxing his bloody memories, but he didn't know why it looked like this.
Yin Xiu tried again. No matter what words he searched in his mind, there was no reaction at all.
[Could it be that when the monster took action, it also sucked away the victim's head and soul? 】
Yin Xiu didn't know if there was such a monster, but now he had to believe in this judgment, that is, the bloody memory was invalid.
Suddenly, just when Yin Xiu was about to pull out his consciousness, a sudden change occurred.
In the void, a woman appeared.
In fact, this was just his subconscious judgment.
No matter how close she was and how carefully she looked, Yin Xiu couldn't tell whether the other person was a boy or a girl, nor did she know her age or appearance. She only vaguely felt that she was a "woman".
Perhaps this was some kind of deception or illusion. Yin Xiu's heart was stirred up at a certain moment and she squeezed it tightly.
Then the "woman" who looked like a human and a god gradually came closer.
She stretched out her arms, which were still far away at first, but her eyelids touched up and down, and she was suddenly pulled closer.
The woman stretched out her hand, and Yin Xiu was helplessly pulled into her arms.
Immediately afterwards, sleepiness came over her, and Yin Xiu felt that her eyelids were heavy, her head was dizzy, and she was in an extremely comfortable sleep state.
The woman's embrace was warm and soft, like a mother, and like soft soil and sofa, attracting Yin Xiu to fall into her arms.
boom!
Searing flames rose.
Yin Xiu was awakened by a burning smell and stinging pain, and suddenly retreated from the conscious space.
Then he discovered that the [false body] hidden in his pocket had caught fire.
Yin Xiu was startled, and immediately reached out and took out the puppet that Mi Po had given him.
At this moment, the baby's face has been blackened, and the facial features seem to have melted and become mushy with the burning.
Ma Xiaoyu watched from the side, frowning.
This [false body] is not an ordinary scarecrow, just write the birth date and birth date on it.
To a certain extent, as long as you recognize the Lord, it is equivalent to another human soul and another life.
Although it cannot withstand swords, guns and sticks, the host will still die if shot.
But this [false body] has miraculous effects on some extraordinary spells and scenes, such as head-dropping, voodoo, and even bull-headed and horse-faced seduction. The puppet can be used as a substitute for the host to help him ward off disasters.
Obviously, the fake body that caught fire just now helped Yin Xiu avoid a disaster.
In this way, the worry in Ma Xiaoyu's eyes became more obvious.
Yin Xiu quickly recovered from her confusion and surprise and smiled at her.
"No big deal."
"I just saw you smearing some blood on the body. Did you use the same trick again?" Ma Xiaoyu asked.
Yin Xiu nodded, "But this time I didn't see anything, and I'm afraid I encountered something terrible."
"What is it?"
Yin Xiu paused, then looked at Ma Xiaoyu and said seriously: "I think I should have met my mother."
He said this in a very soft voice, but Zhuowu, who was some distance away from them, suddenly turned his head and looked at Yin Xiu calmly.
At this time, the words "I know" were written all over Zhuowu's eyes, which was neither a provocation nor a question.
Zhuowu just told Yin Xiu clearly with his eyes: I know what happened.
"What does that guy keep looking at you for?" Ma Xiaoyu asked.
"Maybe it's the lottery numbers written on my face."
Yin Xiu did not respond to Zhuowu's gaze, but waved to Luo Wei again, motioning for him to come closer.
"Next, if there are still corpses on the road, especially the weird ones like just now, remember not to touch them to avoid encountering some situations that we cannot handle."
Luo Wei nodded, "I also wear gloves when doing autopsies. Unlike you, you have to touch every corpse before it's cold."
"What you say makes me seem like a pervert."
Yin Xiu grinned, "Anyway, we just have to be careful, maybe someone will die on the road." (End of Chapter)
