MTL - Cannon Fodder Counterattack Investigation System-Chapter 113
The sun has finally risen completely, and the morning light is shining brightly on the branches, and the fine spots of light are intertwined with the lingering music of the piano, slowly circling and flying, and swinging in the fresh air.
Fanghuayuan was not affected by the successive disasters of the Gu family in the past few days, and was still as calm and indifferent as a fairyland outside the world. Under the huge peach blossom tree in the yard, Cang Wuyue, a silk puppet, was dancing to the sound of the zither. The melody, which has always been as stable as a flat lake, reveals a bit of the shock of the undercurrent of the water under the mirror.
Suddenly the branches and shadows swayed, and the sound of the piano fluctuated violently.
The silk puppet dancing under the tree flew up, like sparks blooming in the bright sun, and the sound of gold and stone pierced through the sky. After the flash, the two figures that collided in the air flew out together!
Cang Shuiyao's eyes, which were as pale as water, turned sharply cold in an instant, the sound of the zither suddenly stopped, and the puppet who was about to step forward suddenly stood on the spot with his hands down like a puppet with broken strings.
On the other side of the courtyard, there was a tall stranger with a metal mask on his face. Behind the cold mask came an arrogant and arrogant man laughing: "As expected of the most outstanding puppeteer in the world, the puppets he made are really extraordinary! But Cang The girl just let a puppet come to greet you, don't you think it's too slight to the guests?"
"Then how about I entertain Your Excellency in person?" Cang Shuiyao quickly plucked the strings with her fingers, and the sound of the piano reappeared, and the whole huge peach blossom tree in the courtyard shook, and the rustling sound was full of falling flowers.
A look of caution appeared in the gloomy eyes of the masked man. The next moment, he saw the branches of the peach blossom tree falling off one by one. A large number of finger-long branches seemed to be drawn by invisible threads, which were almost indistinguishable to the naked eye. The speed forms a "big" font...
wrong! It's not a "big" font, it's a branch figure! puppet!
The masked man flew into the air in shock, and when he looked around again, he was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him! I saw countless slender red silk threads intertwined, spreading out from far to near, and surrounded him. The little puppets made of branches climbed on the red threads, rushing towards him like a raging wave. !
"Fire Spirit!" The masked man held up the sword in his hand, put his **** together and wiped it from the tail of the sword to the head of the sword. The red flying light burst out from the tip of the sword, and it turned into clusters of flames when it fell on the red line! The red line was broken, and some of the walking puppets were burned into small fireballs, and some fell from the sky on fire, and two or three out of ten were lost in an instant!
But the number of small puppets on the branches is too large, and they are not afraid of sacrifice at all. They come up one after another, and some of them fall on the masked man. Roots have taken root in my body!
"Ah!" The masked man let out a roar of anger and annoyance. If he came here today with sufficient preparations, he would not have ended up in such a situation just after the fight, he never thought that Cang Shuiyao would have such a weird trick!
He violently waved the flaming long sword in his hand, but he couldn't stop more and more tree puppets from jumping on him and connecting with his blood! He knew better than anyone else that if this situation continued, within a few hours, he would die on the spot!
However, at this moment, the fierce piano sound in the air climbed to a piercing scream, and stopped abruptly again! The strings on the mahogany yueqin snapped, and even cut Cang Shuiyao's fingers. Cang Shuiyao's shoulders trembled, and she suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood!
The masked man instantly understood that Cang Shuiyao must have a hidden illness, and the puppet technique that was performed too delicately just now, he couldn't hold on at this moment, and his vitality was seriously injured!
Sure enough, the little puppets on the branches and the twigs on the red line stopped at the same time, and then fell apart one by one, turning into twigs and falling down one after another.
The masked man sneered, raised his long sword, and stabbed at Cang Shuiyao under the peach blossom tree. Cang Shuiyao's fingers pressed tightly on the mahogany Yueqin, blood slid down the strings, Cang Shuiyao standing behind her On Wu Yue's always empty face, there was a look of shock and anger no different from ordinary people.
This scene seemed to be an illusion, the masked man was stunned for a moment, and in this moment of absence, three short feathered arrows, red, blue, and blue, flashing different lights, came from nowhere and hit the vest!
At the critical moment, the masked man managed to dodge, but was still pierced through the right shoulder by the red feather arrow among the three feathered arrows! The masked man looked over in shock and anger, only to find Gu Jue who had come to the courtyard at some time.
Gu Jue's face was livid, and the anger in his eyes full of gentle smiles was as cold as ice. He only made a simple gesture, and the three short, three-color feather arrows that had already flown away spun around in the air. The momentum of breaking bamboo flew towards the masked man!
The masked man's thick eyebrows hidden under the mask furrowed angrily, but instead of facing the enemy, he turned over decisively and jumped out of the wall of Fanghua Garden. Gu Jue stepped forward, but Cang Shuiyao suddenly stopped him: "Don't chase."
Gu Jue was a little hesitant, as if he was unwilling to let the man escape like this, Cang Shuiyao said: "The wooden puppet just successfully connected to his heart, plus the trauma caused by your three-feathered arrow... unless you find a big Luo Jinxian, otherwise he will be a useless person soon!"
Cang Shuiyao who said these words had a cold and ruthless tone, no longer the usual gentleness, she raised her hand to her side: "Wuyue..."
The thread-drawing puppet returned to that indifferent demeanor, as if the scene the masked man saw just now was a hallucination. She obediently held Cang Shuiyao's hand, and knelt down beside her, but the miraculous scene just now appeared again, Cang Shuiyao stroked her temple hair, which Gu Jue couldn't see and was covered by the wide sleeves In the place where Cang Wuyue faced Cang Shuiyao, a tender smile appeared on her exquisite facial features, and her originally stiff face suddenly became bright and lively.
But this brief expression disappeared without a trace when Gu Jue walked over, as if it had never appeared before.
"Shui Yao, were you injured by that man?"
Gu Jue was concerned to grab Cang Shuiyao's bleeding hand, only slightly touched Cang Shuiyao, and quickly moved away. She turned her face sideways, and tightly held her wrist with the other hand.
"...I'm fine. I used the advanced puppet technique, it's just a backlash."
Cang Shuiyao's hands... are very cold.
This was Gu Jue's most obvious feeling at that moment. Although Cang Shuiyao's body temperature was originally lower than that of ordinary people, when I touched her hand just now, it was like touching a piece of ice!
Gu Jue frowned, "You..."
"Didn't I tell you last time not to come again?" Cang Shuiyao interrupted him.
Gu Jue ignored this sentence at all, and asked: "Who was that just now? Why did you attack you?"
"I don't know who he is, but he will never appear in front of my eyes in the future. You can rest assured and go back."
Gu Jue pondered for a moment, then whispered: "Master, he is missing."
Cang Shuiyao's pupils narrowed slightly, but she didn't make a sound.
Gu Jue went on to say: "Wu Sheng and I searched all the places we could find, but we couldn't find the master. The master disappeared with Elder Yun Hao in Qingyang Mountain. We asked Mr. Lu and them. It is said that Elder Yun Hao disappeared before he disappeared. Planning to find the old matriarch...the place where the old matriarch went that night, you really..."
"I don't know." Cang Shuiyao lowered her long black eyelashes to cover the deep dark light in her eyes, "I don't know where Old Madam Gu will go that night."
Gu Jue looked at her silently.
Cang Shuiyao said: "You... go back."
In the end, Gu Jue left reluctantly, and Cang Shuiyao, who was always refusing to meet his eyes, did not see the determination in his expression when he left. If it was a normal day, she should be able to notice that it is very abnormal for Gu Jue to leave obediently so simply.
But at the moment...
"Wu Yue... come here..."
Cang Shuiyao caressed the hair on Cang Wuyue's head, and gently embraced her. Like a docile little animal, the silk puppet leaned its head on Cang Shuiyao's neck obediently, closed its eyes, and smiled contentedly.
The blood on Cang Shuiyao's hands had solidified, and a long bloodstain extended to her wrist. She slowly stroked the soft and smooth black hair on the top of the silk puppet's head with her cheeks, feeling guilty or sighing, and said to herself: "I'm sorry...I can't do what my sister promised you...My time...is running out..."
The dark wind swept away the faint light and fire, and once again plunged into the darkness that could not be seen.
Zhou Ziruo secretly scolded his mother, and said angrily: "Damn it was blown out again! What a broken candle, I complained to him for selling fake and shoddy products!" He was charged 500 points for one, why not grab it? ?
[When I was in the mall, I suggested to the owner to buy a flashlight...] Xiao Zhengtai said aggrievedly.
Zhou Ziruo was even angrier: "A flashlight costs 5,000 points, what if I need other props later? What if I have to use the little expert to search for evidence many times? Wouldn't there be no points?"
[If you don't have money, you will just settle down...] Mrs. Xiaozheng muttered.
Zhou Ziruo pretended not to hear it, and took out the matchbox that came with buying candles in the mall to strike the matches and light the candles. No match was lit!
But he was cursing in his heart, Zhou Ziruo was still secretly glad that he found the hidden secret room and gained a lot of points by accident, and was promoted to level 20. Although the remaining points were very few and he didn't get any special upgrade rewards, the props section of the mall system was successfully unlocked Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to move an inch in this dark place.
Speaking of the hidden secret room, Zhou Ziruo just wanted to kick the main machine twice, because the secret room was not elsewhere, it was in the ancestral hall of the Gu family they had searched for! The reason why he failed to find the entrance to the secret room with the little expert forensic search last time is because the host made a foreign-style thing, which is called a chain of clues. That is to say, only when the previous clue related to it is opened, the next clue will be unlocked. Otherwise, even if they turn the ancestral hall upside down, they won't be able to find out where the secret room is! The first clue related to the secret room was naturally the small handkerchief on Gu's second hand.
Are you saying it hurts? ? ?
The candle was lit, and the last match died. Zhou Ziruo lost the matchbox and planned to continue walking, but when he looked up, he was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he almost threw the candle out of a perfect parabola!
Ahead, a few feet away, stood a white-clothed...ghost! !
To be honest, it’s not that Zhou Ziruo has never seen ghosts before, but the white-clothed female ghost sister he is most familiar with has never had any terrifying aura, but this one in front of him is different. The evil spirit is so clear!
Following Zhou Ziruo, he felt something was wrong, turned his head and looked around, and Mao Mao's cold sweat came down from the top of his head.
Here, unexpectedly, more than one ghost!
One, two, three, four...Zhou Ziruo boldly counted from the corner of his eye, because he didn't dare to look back, so he didn't count the path he just walked, and there were at least seven scattered ghosts standing around! The only good thing is that there is a lot of space here, and the ghosts are far away from each other, and they are far away from him. Otherwise, a bunch of ghosts crowded together would probably scare him into cerebral palsy.
"What's going on here? There was nothing just now!!"
Mrs. Xiaozheng also seemed a little frightened: "Maybe they came here randomly... I don't think they intend to attack us. Master, please find a direction without ghosts and leave. Don't provoke them and you should be fine!"
Zhou Ziruo forced himself to calmly turn his stiff body to find a way out, and finally managed to find a direction far away from all the ghosts, and ran away quickly while holding his breath.
After walking a certain distance, Zhou Ziruo came to a stone door. This kind of stone door has been encountered many times since he entered the secret room, so he opened it without hesitation and walked through it.
The other side of the stone gate was very quiet, Zhou Ziruo first raised a candle to illuminate the surrounding scene after flashing over.
This place seems to be many times wider than the previous place, with a sense of boundless emptiness. There are many large sarcophagi parked as far as the eye can see. Although the coffin is not a festive thing, it is still much cuter than the ghost standing in front of it. The dead will not jump up and bite people.
Zhou Ziruo heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no ghosts here.
"Finally get rid of those ghosts... Where is this secret room? How could there be ghosts?" Zhou Ziruo wiped his cold sweat. If he didn't remember the way he came here, he would definitely run out to find Lu Lixiao now, but there are a few ghosts standing not far from the door, no matter what, he can't go back the same way!
I don't know what time it is now, but I always feel that the concept of time has become very vague after entering the secret room. He felt that he had explored the secret room for a long time, and found dozens of stone doors alone, but his body was not particularly tired. , nor very hungry.
It should be daylight outside, right?
It's time for Lu Lixiao to wake up...Although he left a code before going to the ancestral hall, he didn't tell Lu Lixiao that code, so I don't know if he can find it here...
Zhou Ziruo was thinking wildly, when he suddenly heard a clear "Boom—". It was the muffled sound made by heavy objects moving, low and lengthy, especially frightening in the absolute silence and darkness.
The candle light in Zhou Ziruo's hand couldn't help shaking, and his scalp was numb. Combined with the surrounding environment, he seemed to recognize what it was.
"boom-"
"boom-"
A few more muffled sounds sounded one after another. Zhou Ziruo guessed that what was going on in the space he was in at this moment, he was in a bad mood.
Finally, at the very edge of the range illuminated by the candle light, the shape of a stone coffin was vaguely reflected. With the sound of "Boom—" coming from there, the coffin lid of the sarcophagus moved slowly to the side automatically. Moved away, a rotting arm protruded from it.
Fuck! ! He really guessed it right—the corpse was cheated! !
Zhou Ziruo's whole body was shaking even his teeth: "Run your hair, what should I do???"
"I don't know either!" Xiaozheng screamed cowardly.
"Damn it! I'll be torn apart when that thing comes out!!" Zhou Ziruo ran wildly.
Xiaozheng reminded: "Master put out the fire soon! They will know where you are when they see the light!"
"Stupid you! I have the breath of a living thing on my body, and they know where I am if there is fire or not! Why don't you light the way when I run for my life..." Zhou Ziruo suddenly had an idea when he shouted here, and stopped Light candles around.
There was a sound of "bang", "bang" and "bang" from the coffin lid, and it was conceivable that the zombies were about to jump out of the coffin, Xiaozheng urged too eagerly: "Run, master! They are coming! "
"There are so many coffins here, I can't escape, I have to hide to prevent them from finding me... I have it!"
Holding the candle, Zhou Ziruo ran towards an empty coffin whose lid was half-supported on the ground in the distance. Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhengtai reacted: "You want to hide in?"
"The coffin has the smell of their kind, and I can just hide my vitality in it!" Zhou Ziruo didn't care about his health, so he put the other end of the candle in his mouth to light up, and tried his best to help him. With the coffin lid half closed on the coffin, Mrs. Xiaozheng kept urging him to "hurry up, hurry up". Hearing the sound of zombies not far away, he was so anxious that he almost bit off the candle in his mouth !
Finally the lid was half closed, Zhou Ziruo blew out the candle in one gulp, turned into the coffin, and closed the lid, not daring to leave a crack. After a while, he heard a few zombies approaching the coffin, and he wondered if they had surrounded him.
...Isn't it? That's okay too?
The TV shows are all lies!
Zhou Ziruo's hand touched the cloud on his waist, paused, and then went down to Buli's boots, pulled out Buli and held it tightly in his hand.
There was the sound of knocking on the coffin lid overhead, and the zombies began to push the coffin lid after knocking for a while. Seeing the faintly visible gaps appearing on the coffin lid, Zhou Ziruo fumbled in the coffin in a daze, trying to find something that would distract the zombies later, but in a panic, he didn't know where he was. The lower coffin board suddenly flipped over, and his whole body fell down without warning!
The coffin board was a trap, and after turning it over a few times, it became flat again. When the zombies pushed the lid of the coffin, the coffin was empty.
At this time, Zhou Ziruo had already slid down the chute connected under the coffin board.
The slideway was cold and dark, and there was a gust of wind blowing up from below, Zhou Ziruo sneezed several times.
There is actually a slideway built under the coffin slabs, no wonder those zombies found his hiding place so easily. It seems that the coffin was not used for zombies in the first place, it was just Ye Yinyulin!
Just judging from the range he walked through, the secret room hidden in the Gu family ancestral hall is already quite spacious, who knows that there is another cave underneath! When he first came in, he paid attention to the direction, knowing that the secret room extended towards Benyue Ridge, but later on it was completely difficult to distinguish the east, west, north, south, and now the scale has far surpassed the secret room, it can almost be called an underground palace!
Benyue Ridge is so small and the mountain is not stable, how could it be possible to build such a large underground palace?
Zhou Ziruo became more and more curious about this place, but if he could choose, he would definitely be willing to go out first, but he had no choice, so he could only explore and find the exit.
I don't know how long the slideway is, but Zhou Ziruo saw the light in front of him after a long time. He slid out of the chute, and his **** fell on the cold and hard ground. With Lu Lixiao's masterpiece last night, the pain was so painful that he couldn't live without it.
The candle had already fallen out of shock when the coffin board was turned over, but fortunately, the light here was dim but it did not affect the vision. Zhou Ziruo rubbed his buttocks and got up paralyzed, and saw a stone door in front of him.
He had already seen a lot of Shimen in the underground palace, but the one in front of him made him suddenly startled.
The stone door... was engraved with crescent moon patterns.
A stone chamber...in it - there are many ghosts... there are grieving ghosts, there are evil ghosts, there are evil ghosts... and there are many corpses... Yin corpses, walking corpses, evil corpses, blood corpses...
…just remember—on the stone gate… engraved with…crescent…patterns—…
The ghost hidden in the Linghua mirror in Yunlanxuan, the place Ji Liu said, the person who made him into a mirror charm.
Zhou Ziruo suddenly had a feeling that they had stepped into a deep net of thousands of threads from Tongyang City, or even earlier!
He stepped forward, opened the door little by little, and he saw a huge black stone two people tall. He closed the door gently, hid behind the black stone, and carefully looked out, the scene in front of him shocked him.
A stone pillar several feet high stands tall, and a tall figure is bound by a thick black chain. Dried blood flows from the corners of his closed eyes and condenses on the sharp jaw, and the plump red lips are bloodless.
Fourteen nails the size of an awl were driven into all parts of his body, firmly fixing him on the stone pillar. The dark red blood had already soaked the stone pillar, which also made his fiery red robe even more shocking!
That person was Siqin Jiangyue.
The author has something to say: Two days ago, I was addicted to watching Gun Gun (idiot face) at Station B, and I couldn’t help but stop watching it for two days. If you want to blame Gun Gun, it’s too cute and cute!
Another reason, because it is about to end, I am a little cautious, afraid of forgetting the pit in front, so the code word is a bit slower
More today~
I will correct the typo tomorrow~
PS: In the article, the courtyard where Cang Shuiyao lived in the Gu family was officially renamed from "Furong Garden" to "Fanghua Garden". Furongyuan was not thought of before, and Fanghuayuan was more suitable. Youth is like a dream, which is a more appropriate summary of the fate of the two sisters.
