The wind and sand suddenly rose, and the world became dark. The fine gravel hit the face, causing a dull pain.
The eight figures were struggling to move forward in the wind and sand, like a lonely boat in the vast ocean, swaying unsteadily.
"Wait!" Lin Ye suddenly stopped and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Li Weiwei asked doubtfully.
Lin Ye looked around and said in a solemn tone: "We seem to be lost."
"Lost?" Lu Zijin was stunned for a moment, then retorted: "How is this possible? There are ruins all around, how can you tell them apart?"
Several other people also looked confused. As they walked along, the surrounding scenery was almost exactly the same, and they couldn't tell the direction at all.
"No, we have been here before." Lin Ye spoke firmly, pointing to a ruined wall not far ahead, "If I remember correctly, that's where we first entered this dungeon."
"What?!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They had obviously been moving forward, how could they return to the starting point?
"What about the market?" Lu Zijin's voice was trembling. "When we came, the market was still bustling. What's happening now?"
"Yes, this is the market." Lin Ye looked up at the sky and saw that the originally dark sky was now even gloomier, as if it was covered by a huge black curtain.
After determining the direction, everyone set off again, walking towards the market in their memory.
However, what appeared before them was a horrifying sight.
The originally bustling market had now turned into ruins, with discarded goods and broken tents everywhere. There were also some bones scattered on the ground, which looked particularly scary in the dim light.
"What on earth happened?" Ye Yiling covered her mouth and looked at everything in front of her in disbelief.
The members of the archaeological team who were following behind had a look of gloating on their faces: "Humph, you deserve it! This is the price of not recognizing a good heart!"
Lin Ye ignored them and walked straight to the depths of the ruins, scanning everything around him sharply.
"Lin Ye, look!" Lu Zijin suddenly exclaimed and pointed in one direction.
Lin Ye followed her gaze and his pupils suddenly shrank.
I saw a thin figure lying in the ruins, it was the girl who had delivered cans to them before.
At this time, her eyes were closed tightly, her face was pale, there was still a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, and she was obviously not breathing.
"What on earth is going on?" Li Weiwei covered her mouth, her eyes filled with horror.
Lin Ye didn't speak, just sighed softly
"Crack!"
He snapped his fingers, and a faint golden light shone on his fingertips.
The next second, a strange picture appeared in the sky.
That was what happened here a few hours ago!
In the picture, a group of people gathered together timidly, kneeling on the ground, shivering.
In front of them, a Medusa Megiddo was standing high on the ruins, its scarlet eyes full of cruelty and bloodthirsty.
Around Medusa Megiddo, there are also various weirdos gathered. They have ferocious faces, bared their teeth and claws, and make bursts of blood-curdling roars.
"Sure enough." Lin Ye's eyes flashed with a cold light, "After we left, more weirdos came here."
In the picture, there are still three corpses of weirdos lying on the ground, which are the three that were eliminated by the archaeological team before.
"Say! Where are those guys?!" Her voice was hoarse and sharp, as harsh as metal friction, echoing over the ruins with a chilling pressure.
The crowd was trembling and huddled together in fear, but no one dared to speak. "You don't want to say that?" Medusa Megiddo raised a cruel smile, "Very good, then don't blame me for being rude!"
Black tentacles sprang out like poisonous snakes, instantly wrapping around a man's body and lifting him high.
The man struggled in fear, but to no avail, he could only let out a desperate cry.
"Stop! I say! I will say anything!" A high-pitched voice sounded from the crowd. A skinny man who is willing to sell everything in order to survive.
"Those guys. Those guys call themselves Kamen Riders, they are very strong"
"Kamen Rider?" Medusa Megiddo repeated the word, a trace of doubt flashed in his scarlet eyes, "Who are they?"
The man replied tremblingly: "I don't know, they. They come from outside"
"Coming from outside?" Medusa Megiddo narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
She threw the man in her hand to the ground and scanned the crowd with cold eyes, as if looking for something.
"What's your relationship with those Kamen Riders?" Her voice sounded like it came from the Nine Hells, making people shudder.
"No, no! We don't know them!" Panic shouts broke out from the crowd. Everyone tried desperately to distance themselves from the Kamen Rider, for fear that if they were too late, they would become the next Medusa Megiddo. Target.
"Yeah, we don't know any Kamen Rider at all!"
"Yes! We have nothing to do with them!"
"Please, let us go!"
Looking at the group of greedy ants in front of him, a trace of disdain flashed in Medusa Megiddo's eyes.
"Humph, a bunch of trash!" She snorted coldly and was about to leave. Suddenly, a voice caught her attention.
"Sir! I know the whereabouts of those Kamen Riders!" A short man pointed at the girl tied up in the corner and shouted, "She! It was she who helped those Kamen Riders!"
The girl raised her head in horror, her eyes filled with tears, and shook her head desperately in denial: "No, I didn't. I didn't."
"Sir, I saw her running out to deliver food to those Kamen Riders!" The man said anything in order to survive, "She must be their accomplice!"
"Yes! I saw it too!"
"That's her! She helped those Kamen Riders!"
Under the man's instigation, others also agreed, as if this could clear their own suspicions.
The girl closed her eyes in despair, and crystal tears fell down her cheeks.
"You guys" she wanted to defend, but couldn't say a word.
Medusa Megiddo sneered, waved her whip and slowly approached.
"These scum!" Lu Zijin gritted his teeth, wanting to rush into the screen and cut into pieces the bodies of those who had added insult to injury.
"Human nature is so ugly." Li Weiwei sighed, her eyes filled with disappointment.
Only Lin Ye remained silent.
The scene ends abruptly here. (End of chapter)
