"Lyman should be a junior officer too. Like the dean, he should not stay here at night. We can only find Polus here. But to be honest, I don't agree with entering the underground floor so rashly.
.”
"Because that place can feel extremely dangerous. Our resources are limited and precious and cannot be wasted here. The benefits here are unknown, but the risks are quite huge. If we lose one or two trump cards here,
, then the days after that will be difficult.”
The rest of the people had no objections and nodded one after another.
Omi said simply:
"Then let's do two things now! Let's go find Lyman and Dean's residence and continue to collect key information from their mouths."
"Wrench, you should contact Ding Li and ask him to use his power to trace the whereabouts of Wang Asheng, or simply directly investigate what Wang Asheng did around April 20th. If the corresponding things are blocked, then we will take action. In this way
, we can maximize efficiency.”
Obviously, Omi's arrangements were impeccable, so the group went to work immediately.
While Fang Linyan used magic to contact Ding Li, Omi had already led people down to the second floor, where there was a group of people hiding in the room and shivering, like local guards of quails. It was obvious that they were the breakthrough point.
After arriving at the door of a room, the door lock was still the simplest deadbolt type. Fang Linyan took out Muramasa and inserted it into the crack of the door with all his strength. The door had quietly opened.
The guard inside noticed something. When he yawned and sat up, the vulture had already rolled over like a whirlwind, then put a dagger against his throat and lowered his voice viciously:
"You will die if you speak out! Be honest!"
As a result, the guard didn't seem to take it seriously. He simply reached out and tried to push the vulture away, and then said lazily:
"Fuck you"
As a result, as soon as he said these three words, his eyes widened and his whole body trembled violently.
Because the vulture had already stabbed his armpit with a dagger, until it reached the handle, and there was still a trace of lightning lingering at the end of the dagger.
The guard had already tried to let out a heart-rending scream, but when the will transmitted from his brain reached his throat, it was stuck and could not function at all, turning into a weird sound of "hehehe".
Because the muscles and ligaments near his throat were paralyzed by the strong electric current.
The vulture looked at him coldly, letting him feel the severe pain. Of course, it also made him gasp a little. After a few seconds, he said:
"If you continue to be dishonest, I will stab you in the throat with my next stab."
The guard's face was distorted, with a look of horror on his face, and he nodded hurriedly.
The dagger of the Vulture was very particular and avoided his main organs, so the guard was not fatal in a short period of time. Immediately afterwards, a group of people captured him and took him to the third floor for interrogation. Of course, it was still the Vulture who did it.
Do this:
"Name! Say your name quickly!"
The guard quickly poured beans out of a bamboo tube and told him everything he knew with a sad face.
It turns out that this guy's name is Zhu Dadan, and his family lives in Madi Village, twenty miles away. Not only is he bold and greedy, his mantra is that except for being afraid of poverty, everything else is nothing.
Two months ago, the chief security officer of Zhuangzi brought him here to work, claiming that he was going to make a lot of money from foreigners and make a fortune.
For this reason, Zhu boldly sold half an acre of land left by his mother-in-law and gave money to the security chief. Only later did he find out that this bastard also received an introduction fee from a foreigner!
From then on, Zhu boldly had no name, only the cold number 091 given to him by a foreigner.
Although it has only been two months since he came here, Zhu Dadan has already experienced a lot of strange things. The one that impressed him the most was that when he got up on the third morning to inspect the cell, he found a guy who was already dead.
He banged his head against the wall and died.
The scene at the scene can really be described as extremely tragic.
Many of the things Zhu DaDa encountered next were also unheard of.
For example, when you are drinking water and suddenly realize that the cup is full of blood, and when you look in the mirror and find that the person inside suddenly raised his head and smiled, how can this not make people panic?
Another time when he went to the toilet, he suddenly saw a flood in front of him, and there was terrifying blood like a river bursting its banks, rushing in to engulf him.
Faced with these strange events, Zhu DaDa certainly felt guilty, but just like his previous mantra, he was afraid of poverty!
Working here for the foreign devils, being able to eat enough and eat meat every day, getting 8 yuan in salary every month, and having a place to live, this kind of good thing is really like the smoke coming out of the ancestral graves for Zhu Dadan
, so he gritted his teeth and persisted.
Of course, the more important reason is that none of the things he has experienced have caused any physical harm to his body. According to other people, this is because the cross that was issued by the foreign devils as soon as they came in is manifesting.
Of course, Fang Linyan and others asked Zhu to take out the cross and take a look at it. They found that it was a seemingly ordinary cross, but there were a few more Latin letters on the back.
Goat translated it and said that its meaning is: all evils retreat and disperse.
However, because the Latin letters were engraved rather vaguely, the goat had to get closer before checking carefully. As a result, he smelled a strange smell. At first, he thought it was Zhu Dali's own body odor, but later he felt that it was not the same.
.
Crespo finally identified it. After the cross was carved, a special liquid was applied to the surface like paint. When it dries, it would emit this weird smell.
Obviously, this thing was processed by alchemists, which is probably the main reason why the guards usually encounter strange incidents without any accidents.
After discovering this, the exploration rate increased again by 10% to 43%.
Next, Zhu boldly revealed the information he wanted to Fang Linyan and the others - foreigners usually did not spend the night here. The place where they lived was called Cuizhuang, which was also an inland port, so it was quite prosperous.
Here in Cuizhuang, there is a hotel called "Shake the Bell". The owner is called Joseph, who is of mixed Chinese and Russian descent. Because smuggling is frequent here in Cuizhuang, he specializes in the business of smuggling foreign merchants. In addition, his grandfather's family is local.
There are local snakes, so business is booming.
Shaking Bells is a house with a Russian style. At the top is a cross with a large bell hanging on it. It can be seen from a distance and is highly recognizable.
The first floor here is a bar,
The main part of the second floor is the restaurant, which provides big ribs, red cabbage soup, sauerkraut sausage, roasted capon, coffee, etc. Although the Western food here is average and expensive, people still flock to it.
Because this is the most authentic Western food that can be found within a radius of 20 kilometers. For those sailors who have traveled across the ocean, they can still find a sense of hometown. To be honest, it is well worth the money.
The third floor where the bell shakes is the guest room. Joseph still put a lot of thought into the management of the guest room.
It can be said that the sailors hate the food on the ship, but the accommodation environment on the ship has been engraved in their bones, and they can be said to be quite adapted to it. Once they go ashore and sleep on the other beds, they will probably have to sleep all night.
Therefore, Joseph's guest rooms are all customized according to the cabins on the ship. They are narrow and simple. The decoration style also adds steering wheels, paddles, life jackets, etc. The atmosphere on the ship is very full, but it is a sailor.
This is what we eat.
Zhu boldly made it very clear that the foreigners in the lunatic asylum had rented about ten rooms for a long-term permanent residence at "Ring the Bell".
For them, their food and accommodation expenses are all reimbursed and paid for by the higher authorities anyway, so of course they can make it as comfortable as possible.
After realizing that Zhu Dadan was quite cooperative, Fang Linyan and the others did not embarrass him. They directly stuffed him with a thousand yuan to recuperate, and then left. Of course, they analyzed the pros and cons before leaving.
If Zhu DaDang tells the truth, he will first be held responsible for leaking the secret, and his job will definitely be ruined, and then one thousand yuan will be taken away. As for whether Fang Linyan and the others will be punished, it has nothing to do with Zhu DaDang.
On the contrary, if Zhu DaDa can hide this incident, he will keep his job and get a thousand yuan in extra money. As for the injury, he will say that he fell and give ten yuan to the foreman. After three days of training, everything will be fine.
Zhu DaDa is just brave, not stupid. With all that said, it is impossible not to know how to choose.
***
While Fang Linyan and the others were solving the mystery of the asylum in an orderly manner,
The Lord of the Abyss did nothing,
He stood silently in the garden outside the study, standing with his hands behind his hands, his eyes seemed to be closed and not closed, as motionless as a sculpture. He could stand like this forever.
Only the Lord of the Abyss can feel that the power of the moonlight in the sky, which is called Emperor's Liquid in Taoist books, is flowing into the body bit by bit from the "Baihui Point" on the top of the head, gradually transforming the body.
The "Yongquan Point" on the soles of both feet is like two black holes. The Yongquan Point on the left foot is absorbing the pure power of the central Xutu, while the Yongquan Point on the right foot is absorbing the energy of Oriental Aoki.
Power.
The life essence of the plants within a radius of two or three miles was slowly being drained away by the Abyss Lord, nourishing his weak body.
You may not find any problems in a short period of time, but after a month or two, all the plants nearby will wither, or even most of them will die!
This method of transforming and repairing the body sounds a bit outrageous. Even the Abyss Lord himself was dubious before it was implemented, but now the Abyss Lord has already felt the benefits:
The feeling of slowly increasing strength is so good. Although it is slow, there are no consequences.
In addition, the Lord of the Abyss is still practicing the Yang family's unique internal skill: Pure Yang Tai Chi, and is making rapid progress.
After about ten minutes, the Abyss Lord slowly finished his work, then returned to his room and took out three things from the small box next to him.
These three items are exactly the same. They are wooden plaques with a Tai Chi diagram painted on the front and a Yang character written on the back, and the Yang character is silver.
"It takes a lot of effort and huge risks to get such an identity, but strictly speaking it's really comfortable."
A sneer appeared on the corner of the Abyss Lord's mouth, and he said to himself.
“The resources that other people have to work hard to obtain, I can just do it with a little effort!”
"Well, those dogs are probably waiting impatiently, so I'll throw two bones to them first."
"I know you won't go all out to do things for me, but you can harass Yaodao's gang more and give me a little more time to develop."
"Haha, you idiots like Demon Sword, do you think I will take action personally like last time? You are so naive. This time I will let you know what it means to subdue others without fighting, and what it means to use the general trend to deal with you!"
After finishing speaking, the Abyss Lord squatted down, then used his fingers to draw a seven-pointed star array on the ground, and muttered something.
Immediately afterwards, he placed a wooden sign in the center of the seven-pointed star array. After a few seconds, the wooden sign disappeared and was teleported to the Abyss Lord's allies.
After he pondered for a while, he frowned and said:
"Now that I have passed the early entry period, if I don't show up for a long time, it will definitely arouse some people's doubts. Well, it's time to make that move."
After making the decision, the Abyss Lord simply took out a mirror.
The front of this mirror is no different from an ordinary mirror, but the word "twin" is written on the back. The mirror buttons also have strange patterns, which look like two snakes entangled together.
What's more important is that the light shining on this mirror is actually red light! That unique light is like red agate or crystal.
If Fang Linyan and others were there, this kind of light would definitely look familiar, because there is such a light on the treasure chest where there is a chance of finding an artifact.
Therefore, anyone who possesses this light is considered a semi-artifact.
You can imagine the quality of this mirror!
The Lord of the Abyss looked at the mirror, and it was obvious that another version of him was reflected in the mirror. The Lord of the Abyss maintained the posture of looking at himself in the mirror, and then hung it on the wall. He slowly backed away, and suddenly pinched something in his hand.
A secret seal and a shout at the same time:
"open!"
This mirror suddenly became bigger! From the size of a palm to the size of a full-length mirror.
And the Abyss Lord reflected inside suddenly changed. The Abyss Lord in the real world was motionless and had an indifferent expression, while the one in the mirror had a look of confusion on his face and started to look around.
Soon, the appearance of the Abyss Lord in the mirror began to change, from the previous appearance of Yang Kang in a long gown to the usual domineering and indifferent appearance of the Abyss Lord!
