Chapter 1371 Armor
This scene immediately reminded everyone of the scene that happened in Fu'an Inn. The difference between the two is that not everyone died this time, only Gao Yanqing died.
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath. There was a faint smell of decay floating in the air in the room. It was the smell of lake water. He also smelled the same smell in his sleep last night.
At this moment, Gao Yanqing's face was peaceful, as if he was still asleep, with his hands folded and placed on his chest. The whole scene was filled with an indescribable weirdness.
Faced with such a strange scene, everyone slowly calmed down. It is common for people to die in missions. For the remaining people who are not dead, the most important thing is to find clues. Avoid making the same mistakes as this person did.
Undoubtedly, someone mentioned the dream last night. Li Bai hesitated for a moment, turned to look at the others, and was the first to speak: "Everyone, I had a dream last night. In the dream, all of us appeared on a ship. The ship was floating in unfamiliar waters, and water kept pouring into the ship. We tried our best to escape, and finally... Finally, the moment the ship sank completely, the world turned upside down, and then I woke up."
"Me too, that dream was very real, so real... so real that it didn't even look like a dream."
The fat man looked at Gao Yanqing's body, which was all that was left. The upper body of his body brought back the terrifying memories of last night in his heart, but at least in his dream, the Gao Yanqing he saw was still alive and kicking. He didn't know what he had experienced after they separated.
"Me too." Zhang Qizheng nodded.
Zhu Jie leaned against Tang Qisheng, with a sickly pale look on his face, "We are the same, it seems that the dream last night... was by no means just a dream."
"In a sense, that dream is our real experience last night. If you die in the dream, you will be like him." Jiang Cheng looked at Gao Yanqing, or to be precise, at the beauty incense plants on his bed. "Those people at Fu'an Inn also entered such a dream, so they all died in that lake, Spring God Lake."< br>
"The general's previous speculation was wrong. It was not that the water from Chunshen Lake fell from the sky and poured into Fu'an Inn, but that the entire Fu'an Inn was thrown into Chunshen Lake."
Short After the exchange, everyone was convinced that the dream last night was the key to all this, and all the information in everyone's memory matched up.
Suddenly, Zhang Qizheng turned around and looked at Lu Qin and Shao Tong, with a questioning tone in his tone, "Where were you last night? In your dream?"
The words came out immediately. As soon as they came out, the atmosphere at the scene became weird. Jiang Cheng and others, as well as Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie, all looked at Lu Qin and Shaotong. After all, no one had seen them in their dreams, not from beginning to end.
Jiang Cheng had a bold guess in his mind that these two people might not have fallen asleep at all. If this was the case, then the most likely way was that they had a way to avoid falling asleep.
This is quite acceptable. After all, it has reached this level of nightmare world. It is also acceptable to have some talented and beautiful people among the teammates. You know, there was a ghost named Bai Yu last time. was brought into the mission.
But if not for this, the situation would be complicated. What Jiang Cheng is most worried about is that these two people are related to last night's dream. The dream world is even dominated by these two people. This possibility is very low. But once it occurs, the consequences will be fatal.
The fat man held his breath, waiting for the answer from Lu Qin or Shao Tong. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
Lu Qin adjusted her glasses, but before she could say anything, Shao Tong overtook her. Shao Tong tilted his neck, grinned, and showed a weird smile, "We are always by your side. .”
This sentence made Fatty's hair stand on end. How could he be around him, and if he was around, how could he not see it? There are so many of them...
Unless...unless Shao Tong and the others are ghosts!
But before the fat man could continue thinking, Lu Qin gave Shao Tong a hard look, and then explained: "Don't misunderstand me, what Shao Tong said is not accurate. Last night we also entered the meeting with everyone. The same dream, on a sinking ship, shortly after waking up from that dream , we accidentally discovered that the water there looked scary, but it would not drown anyone, so we judged that the way to survive was underwater, so we always lurked under the water and never came out."
"So you guys. He also saw us, but never said hello. "Yao Shunyu was making confirmation.
Lu Qin nodded, her voice full of seriousness, "That's right, we are not far away from you, but because things are weird, we can't tell whether you are human beings or those things pretending to be, so we just Can wait and see what happens.”
Thinking that these people were being monitored by Lu Qin Shaotong who was hidden underwater all the time, everyone felt very uncomfortable, but they couldn't say anything more. After all, in the final analysis, it was just the observation skills of these two people that were better. Meticulous, if it were them, they would make the same choice.
Unexpectedly, Tang Qisheng suddenly got angry, "Miss Lu Qin, you said you two have been lurking underwater, but Zhu Jie and I have been diving for a long time, so why didn't we see you?"
“Hey, how dare you Let you two guys see it. If you see it, I might follow in the footsteps of that unlucky guy!" Shao Tong raised his eyebrows and looked at Gao Yanqing's bed with an exaggerated expression. Still lying on the bed, it smelled weird.
Hearing this, Zhu Jie's face changed slightly, but he quickly adjusted, took a step towards Shaotong, and said righteously: "What do you mean by that?"
"It's boring. It's boring, don't get excited, hehehe... That's what I said, why are you so excited? It seems that I have a handle on you." Shao Tong narrowed his eyes and his expression became more exaggerated, as if it was fun to provoke the other person. things.
However, letting Shao Tong do this really focused everyone's attention on Zhu Jie and Tang Qisheng. Finally, Zhang Qizheng stood up and smoothed things over, "Mr. Tang, Miss Zhu, we had a clear division of labor at that time. Mr. Jiang Cheng and I were a few They left and went to search upstairs, but Gao Yanqing stayed behind and You are together."
"In a world like this, anyone can die. He can only blame his own bad luck and no one else, but now we want to know how he died. It concerns all of us. Will people have a chance to survive when they encounter this kind of situation next?"< br>
Tang Qisheng smiled and nodded, and used his arms to bring Zhu Jie back to him. "Sorry, Zhu Jie was too excited. We also know that Mr. Shao Tong did not mean any harm, but there was something wrong with his expression."
“We are also responsible for Gao Yanqing’s death , we sensed the danger, but before we had time to notify him, he sank into the water."
Tang Qisheng sighed and briefly told everyone about the situation he encountered last night, of course, it was edited. With the revised version, the part where Zhu Jie pretended to be a ghost to scare Gao Yanqing was especially obscured.
Tang Qisheng spoke very slowly. As he spoke, he looked at the situation on Shaotong and Lu Qin's side with a smile. He judged that the situation was complicated and the water was turbid. Even if Lu Qin and Shaotong were nearby, it was impossible for him to see clearly. The result was the same. As he expected, Lu Qin Shaotong didn't speak again during the whole process and just listened to him talking alone.
But what disgusted Tang Qisheng was that Shao Tong, who was obviously mentally unstable, was always staring at him, staring at him intently. This sight of peeling skin and bones made him feel uncomfortable all over, and his thoughts It also affected Tang Qisheng, but it also made Tang Qisheng understand that although this Shao Tong looked crazy, there was something weird about him.
And he seems to have some kind of subtle relationship with the night watchman Lu Qin. Tang Qisheng can't explain why. He just found some clues. This Shaotong is indifferent to everyone. However, it was different for Lu Qin. After Lu Qin spoke, he actually chose to shut up and listen quietly.
And Lu Qin seemed to be interested in defending him in front of everyone.
Soon, Tang Qisheng explained the whole story clearly, "Everyone, is there anything else I haven't made clear?" Tang Qisheng's tone was very natural.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng walked over, bent down, and carefully looked at the corpse on the bed. The corpse was broken from the waist. The huge wound at the break was not smooth, and the nearby skin and flesh were divergent. Jiang Cheng's first feeling was that he had been forcibly beaten by a huge force. tear apart.
At the same time, the position slightly above the fracture is covered with traces of pulling and sharp scratches. Judging from the arrangement of the traces, it was grabbed by human hands, more than one person, and a pair of hands. , there should be many, many hands. A picture emerged in my mind. Gao Yanqing was grabbed by countless hands underwater. He struggled desperately and was in a stalemate for a moment. Finally, with a "呲拉——", a huge force directly It tore him apart, and the bright red blood instantly dyed the lake red.
"Huh?"
Jiang Cheng glanced around and suddenly found something exposed under Gao Yanqing's palm.
Because Gao Yanqing put his two palms together and placed them firmly on his chest. He was pressed by his palms before, and because of the angle, he was not discovered immediately.
Removing Gao Yanqing's hand, Jiang Cheng was surprised to find that the thing underneath was actually a fragment of armor. The fragment was composed of several pieces of armor, connected with each other by threads, but from the workmanship point of view, it was quite fine.
"What is this?" The fat man came up and widened his eyes, "Is it armor?"
Zhang Qizheng also stepped forward at this moment, staring at the fragments, with a strange look in his eyes The emotion, "It seems to be an armor fragment from this era, but how could this thing be in Gao Yanqing's hands?"
Zhu Jie lowered his voice and asked: "Could it be last night, after Gao Yanqing encountered those things? , struggling from "Teared off their bodies?"
This guess was recognized by everyone, and Tang Qisheng also immediately threw out another picture. Last night, after Zhang Qizheng and others left in Jiangcheng, a large number of people appeared behind those doors. The shadows, tall and short, fat and thin, were beating on the door, and they were crying and calling for help. Judging from the sound, they were men, women, old and young. The terrifying scene was like a hell on earth. Even now, Zhu Jietang Qisheng still has lingering fears.
Thinking of those doors, everyone put aside the matter of Gao Yanqing for the time being. Jiang Cheng naturally put away the armor fragments. After all, he was the one who discovered them first, and no one raised any objections.
After arriving downstairs, everyone immediately came to the front hall. Li Bai pursed his lips and stared at an ordinary wall with a few landscape paintings hanging on it. "Sure enough, those few paintings from last night The doors are all fake!”
Since the door is fake, the thing that appears behind the door is naturally a ghost. If they were tricked into opening the door, one of them would probably die. On the spot.
Before they could continue to explore, suddenly, there was a sound of rapid footsteps, the sound of heavy boots hitting the ground, and at the same time, there was the sound of friction between armors.
After a moment, the door was pushed open, and everyone was shocked by the scene they saw. A dozen soldiers wearing simple body armor and holding shields blocked the door. Behind the heavy protection stood a general in armor.
The whole scene gave people the feeling of facing an enemy.
The moment he saw the people in Jiangcheng, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, "Experts, are you...are you okay?"
The voice was naturally that of the general, who led them in the investigation yesterday. Fu'an Inn, and the general who arranged for them to stay here, judging from the sound alone, the other party did not think they could survive.
Zhang Qizheng smiled instead of getting angry: "What did the general say? We are staying here according to the general's arrangement. Is it possible that something evil will happen?"
Hearing this, he said: The armored general was stunned After a moment, San San smiled and said: "What did the master say? But there was news from Chunshen Lake that a mutilated corpse was found. From the description, it looked a bit like one of the masters, so I came to see it specially. Take a look.”
Without waiting for a reply, he looked at the people in Jiangcheng and suddenly asked: "Masters, why are there only 9 people left? When I came to pick up the masters yesterday, I remembered that there were 10 people."
"The 10th man died, and the body is still upstairs. The general wants to take a look?" Yao, Shunyu, and Shun Yu were also not interested in the general, and his words were neither plain nor plain.
"Is there a mutilated corpse upstairs?" the general asked cautiously.
"That's right, only half of the body is left." The fat man didn't shy away. He stretched out his hand and scratched his waist, "From now on, the lower half of the body is gone. By the way, There was still water on the bed.”
Several people in Jiangcheng obviously noticed that when they heard the word "water", the general's pupils moved suddenly and his breathing became rapid. "It's the water of Spring God Lake again, right? This time it's only on the bed." Is there a lake? ”
Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement, but answered more carefully, "That's it for the time being. We just came down and haven't checked in other parts of the yard yet."
"Don't bother me, masters, we can do it for you. "The general waved his hand, and more than a dozen soldiers dispersed. Several people formed a team and began to search in all directions.
After the shield array dispersed, everyone saw that behind the general, there was a group of people, everyone was silent. (End of this chapter)
