Chapter 197 Invitation
Going down is certain. No matter whether the visitor is friend or foe, the space in the building is enough for them to circle around for a while, but it is hard to say if they are blocked in the lighthouse. After all, there is only a stone Stairs lead here.
Controlling the ladder, they become caged animals, lambs to be slaughtered.
Chen Ran looked at several people with his wanton eyes, and an imperceptible smile appeared on his lips.
"Let's stay," Su Xiaoxiao said directly.
Of course she was referring to her and her brother Su An. She knew very well that according to her brother's current physical condition, he could no longer bear the torment, and no one was sure what would happen after he went down.
After Su Xiaoxiao agreed to stay, Liang Long's eyes brightened a little.
According to the people in Blackstone Town, the reason why this place is like this is because of a curse, and the way to break the curse is to ensure that the lighthouse's flame burns permanently.
Under the premise of not knowing whether the people in Blackstone Town were lying, everyone still chose to believe it for the time being, so someone needed to be left to guard the flames.
This is important.
After helping Su Xiaoxiao move Su An to the corner, Chenran walked out of the room first, followed by Jiang Cheng and Fatty, and Liang Long was the last one to get up.
After she glanced at the old woman in the basket, she ran away sluggishly.
Although the old woman didn't do anything to herself when she was alone in a room, she was just afraid. She didn't see or hear anything.
Fear without reason.
If it must be made clear, she swallowed subconsciously as she was walking down the stairs. It was based on intuition. She thought about it, and couldn't help but He quickened his pace again.
When they arrived at the empty space on the first floor of the building, the group of people holding torches also arrived, and the two groups looked at each other through the window.
The person taking the lead was still the blond man.
But this time there were many more people coming to Blackstone Town than last time, probably dozens of people.
Under the light of the torch, they gathered together. There was a faint cold light flowing on the weapons such as harpoons on their shoulders and in the leather pockets on their backs.
An ominous premonition appeared in Diplodocus's mind.
The blond man's eyes wandered among the people for a while, then he sighed and said, "It seems that you also encountered something and lost manpower."
"Yes," Chenran nodded.
The fat man did not dare to get too close to the window. He could only glance at the sea through the gap. The city lights on the sea were brilliant, but they were shrouded in a thin layer of fog, giving people an unreal feeling. illusion.
He opened his mouth and asked in a cowardly tone: "What's going on with that black mist? Why is the night here black mist?"
Before he could finish speaking, the blond man She looked at him and then said: "This is not the place to talk. Please come with me to Blackstone Town to see it."
"We haven't had contact with people outside for a long time," the blond man smiled bitterly: "The people in the town will be very happy to see you."
Chen Ran squinted and looked at the blond man. After a while, , nodded, "Okay."
The fat man couldn't help being stunned.
Can you agree to such a request? !
They clearly haven’t figured out the details of the people in Blackstone Town yet, so aren’t they afraid that it’s a trap?
Diplodocus had a similar idea to him. After what happened before, she now behaved worse than a fat man. Perhaps in her impression, Chenran still had the intention of using her for experiments.
Both of them pinned their last hopes on Jiang Cheng, but what they didn't expect was...
"Excuse me," Jiang Cheng looked at the blond man and nodded.
Until they were walking on the road to Blackstone Town, the fat man's head was still buzzing. He couldn't understand how the doctor could agree to such a request.
Did he discover something?
Diplodocus didn't come with him, so she firmly refused, saying that she would stay and wait for them to come back, which was called looking for clues.
The fat man actually thought so too, but he couldn't trust the doctor, so he had to bite the bullet and agreed.
While actually walking on the road to Blackstone Town, Fatty had a deeper understanding of the weirdness of this world. They were surrounded by waves of spray, but under their feet there was a line of pure black. road.
It is about 3 or 4 meters wide, and leads to the sea city in a winding way.
It turns out that what they saw at the square window of the lighthouse was not the citizens of Blackstone Town walking on the sea, but on this strange road.
When he stepped on it, he had the illusion that he would sink in a second, but it didn't happen. The fat man lowered his head and observed as he walked, and found that this black road seemed to be fundamentally connected with the overwhelming black fog. .
"Doctor," the fat man took advantage of the situation and came to the doctor's side, complaining in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "What on earth are you thinking, how could you agree to come here with them?"
“Here.” He looked left and right, his throat rolling hard, “Something doesn’t look right here. I even suspected that it was this boy Chenran and the people from Blackstone Town. They colluded to trick us."
Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes and seemed to be looking around, not noticing the fat man, but the voice came over, "Don't you think it's strange? " Jiang Cheng asked: "It's such a big island, but you can't find any food and water?"
The fat man had thought about this problem before, but he didn't think of any ideas.
Logically speaking, with the sea and the forest, they should not be reduced to starving to death or dying of thirst.
But this world just did it.
Thinking of this, the fat man's pupils shrank slightly, "Doctor, you mean that coming here is one of the basic settings of this mission, which means it is a necessary part."
< br>After a pause, he continued: "Restricting our food and water supplies is just to force us to Come to Blackstone Town, there are important clues here!"
Jiang Cheng nodded and his tone became cautious, "We have been holding on for more than a day. I don't know how much longer we can hold on, but rather than die, hold on! , until you can’t stand it anymore, it’s better to come here and take a look while you still have strength.”
"And" Jiang Cheng suddenly lowered his voice, glanced around erratically, and found that no one was paying attention, so he continued: "Do you think these people will let it go if we don't come today?"
The fat man opened his eyes wide. Eye.
“Look at their number and the weapons they carry,” Jiang Cheng said, “Do they look like they are here to invite us to be guests in peace?”
The people who come are all the same. There are few clothes made of fabrics for these strong men, most of them are leather clothes, and judging from the texture, they are not the ones they see every day.
The muscles exposed outside the leather jacket are full of rough lines like rocks, which look like they contain strength, coupled with their average height of nearly 2 meters
The fat man swallowed his saliva with a guilty conscience.
This is not the host who has come to invite guests. They are clearly the gangs who came down from the mountain to rob, and they are also the group with explosive fighting power.
“We’re here,” the blond man suddenly stood still, and the city in front of him was immersed in flames. (End of this chapter)
