Chen Laogou was obviously stunned when he heard that the blind boss immediately asked him for help.

But after all, if you say it out loud, it will throw water out. Although my original intention is just to be polite, it is not good to deny it on the spot.

I could only bite the bullet and ask: "I wonder if there is anything Boss Wen can do that could use my brother?"

The blind boss stretched out his left hand again and gently rubbed the carved mahogany box on the counter, as if he was feeling the treasure inside.

Then, he said slowly: "It's not a big deal, I just want to trouble you to pick up something for me."

When Chen Laogou heard that he was helping to pick up something, he thought the other party was inconvenient to go out because of his eye disease and asked him to help him run errands. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and agreed: "It's just a small matter, easy to talk about."

But before he finished speaking, the blind man shook his head slightly and said, "Boss Chen, don't agree in a hurry. If it's just an ordinary pickup, how dare you trouble you."

As soon as he said this, Chen Laogou frowned again, and there was a murmur in his heart, but he asked: "I wonder what's so special about the thing you want us to help pick up?"

The blind boss once again put on a smiling expression and said in a deep voice: "The thing is nothing special, but the place where it is placed may require your expertise."

As soon as he said these words, Chen Laogou immediately understood what he meant. The other party was not asking him to help him get something, he was clearly asking for his help in a fight.

After figuring out the key, he refused on the spot: "Boss Wen, you opened your mouth. I shouldn't refuse. But I also said just now that I and a group of brothers are planning to stop this thing. Really

Over the years, people have grown old and their skills are no longer good, so you might as well hire someone else."

But the blind boss shook his head again and said: "Let's not refuse it for now. It's not for nothing that I asked you for help. As long as you help me get the things back, I can pay this amount."

As he spoke, Boss Wen smiled and reached out to pat the mahogany box on the counter.

Chen Laogou's pupils shrank immediately. You must know that the money from the sale of the items in the mahogany box is still lying quietly in his account. Although the money is enough for him and his brothers to live comfortably for the rest of their lives,

But who can have too much money?

Thinking of the quotation given by the other party, Chen Laogou was still moved, but at the same time he also understood the truth that interests and risks always coexisted. If the other party was willing to offer such a high price, he would not believe it if there was no danger.

of.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, the blind boss added another bargaining chip: "There are two more points I have to make clear in advance. Asking you to help pick up something this time is not considered stealing, because this thing is already there. So you have to

I can provide you with the places to go, detailed address maps, and even methods to crack some underground agencies, so the risk will be very low, and you can rest assured that no official will pursue this matter."

After hearing what the other party added, Chen Laogou was stunned again.

I thought quickly in my mind: What does the other party mean? It's not stealing, but it can also provide maps and methods to crack the mechanism? And you don't have to worry about the government?

Could this be his own ancestral tomb? But looking at how generous this man is with his money, it doesn’t look like his family has to rely on digging the tombs of his ancestors to maintain its fortunes.

After some thought and hesitation, Chen Laogou still couldn't resist the temptation of the large commission. He cupped his fists and saluted again, and then said: "This matter is too important. I can't make the decision by myself. I still have to go back and follow up."

Let’s discuss it with the brothers at home and let you know when we have the results. Do you think this is okay?”

blind boss

When he saw that the other party did not refuse on the spot, he knew that the matter was close, and he immediately said politely: "As it should be, then I won't waste more of Boss Chen's time."

Having said this, Chen Laogou immediately turned around and left with his two followers.

As Chen Laogou turned around and left the antique store, the smile on the blind boss's face faded and was replaced by a meaningful and gloomy look.

"Ouch!"

Han Zhen slapped the mummy man on the head, causing him to scream in agony.

"Don't make trouble. You all turned around and went out. Why did you see the smile disappear from the blind boss's face? Instead, he put on a meaningful expression?"

The mummy man was still being held by Han Zhen with one hand, and he couldn't resist. He could only say hoarsely: "This is what I made up in my head. Shouldn't all villains in novels behave like this..."

Han Zhen interrupted him impatiently: "Don't give me brainstorming, I want to hear the truth, 100% restored truth. So your boss finally agreed to him, right? This is where he asked you to come? He

What is it that I asked you to take?"

Han Zhen asked several questions in one go, but the mummy man just took a deep breath and replied bitterly: "Yes! Otherwise, we wouldn't have ended up like this!"

Han Zhen said disapprovingly: "You people dig graves and do many harmful things. You should have expected that you would end up like this. If only you could get the money safely and enjoy your old age, God would be unhappy."

"

The mummy man seemed to know that what they were doing was unethical and unreasonable, and he did not refute it, but just lowered his head in despair.

When Han Zhen saw that the other party was silent, he continued to ask: "So what exactly did you help the blind man get?"

Maybe because he felt that his life was still in Han Zhen's hands, although the mummy man was very reluctant, he still answered: "I don't know, none of us know what the purpose of this trip is. Only our boss knows.

, but now, only ghosts should know."

Speaking of this, his withered face twitched a few times, as if he wanted to make a self-deprecating smile, but it was really hard to see the smile on his mummy-like face.

Han Zhen couldn't stand his ghoul-like smile, so he changed the subject: "Then how did you become like this? And why do you still retain your consciousness?"

"That ghost general, didn't you meet him? All of us were made like this by him. As for why I preserved my sanity, it should be said that why I regained my sanity after the ghost general dissipated. Maybe God thought that I

You shouldn't die."

Han Zhen smoothed over what the other party said in his mind, and felt that he probably wasn't lying, but there was still a little doubt lingering in his mind.

"You said you don't know what you came to pick up? Does that mean you haven't seen that thing at all?"

In fact, after asking a lot of questions, this question was what Han Zhen was most concerned about. He instinctively felt that the things the blind boss asked them to pick up must be related to the devil locked up in the underground palace.

But now, according to what the mummy man said, they didn't even get out of the thing, but it was a definite fact that the monster escaped.

As if knowing that Han Zhen would definitely ask this question, the mummy man replied without hesitation: "We took out the thing, or in other words, released it..."

His words paused here. Han Zhen held his hand and could clearly feel that the other person's breathing had become a little heavier.

After calming down a little, the mummy man said in a trembling tone: "But none of us know what it is, because

Because it is not a thing at all, it is a devil, a devil that can bring out the deepest desires in people's hearts. The liar is not asking us to take it away, but to release it."

Hearing the other party's incoherent words, Lu Liang, who had been listening carefully to the story, felt baffled, but Han Zhen was able to make a rough guess.

The so-called devil that elicits the deepest desires in the heart should refer to the eyes that can amplify the emotions and desires in people's hearts. However, these people must have been filled with greed for rewards at the time, so their desires were magnified.

However, Han Zhen continued to ask: "What does the devil look like? How did you release him?"

The mummy man seemed to think for a moment before answering hesitantly: "I don't know what it looks like. I only see a pair of gray-black pupils."

Han Zhen nodded silently. Among those seven-colored pupils, black should represent greed, or desire for opinion.

Then, the mummy man let out a string of self-deprecating laughter and continued: "As for how to release it, you have also noticed the weirdness of this underground palace. At first, we thought these were just some underground mechanisms that would make the passage

There are subtle movements that make people get lost in it. But now I think about it

Come on, this is not a mechanism at all, but a formation used to imprison the devil. We walked all the way to the place where the devil was sealed according to the method that the liar taught us, which is equivalent to pointing out the correct path to the devil. So, we

The moment you walk in front of the devil, you release him."

The story of the mummy man was basically finished, and Han Zhen’s doubts were almost solved.

According to this person, there was a reasonable explanation as to why he had the correct route out of the underground palace.

"However, I have one last question. Since you know the right way out, why did you come to us again? According to you, you were controlled by the ghost general at first, but after his soul dissipated, you

Now that you have regained your consciousness, you can completely escape by following the correct route, right?"

After asking the last question in his mind, Han Zhen stopped because another fork in the road happened to appear in front of him.

Similarly, the mummy man who was held by Han Zhen also saw the fork in the road ahead. He pointed to the road to the left without hesitation and said: "This is the last fork, go from here."

Go over there and walk a little further, and you'll know why I came to find you two.

Hearing his answer, Han Zhen had no reaction, but Lu Liang felt a chill running down his spine. He felt as if this person had set a trap in front of me to trap me. In fact, after he had been dealing with Han Zhen for a while, he saw that

No one found it very credible.

But Han Zhen didn't care and walked in the direction pointed by the mummy man.

After passing the so-called last fork in the road mentioned by the mummy man, there was still an unchanging bluestone tunnel ahead, but Han Zhen was sensitive to the fact that the road under their feet seemed to be sloping downwards.

Although the amplitude is not large, he is indeed walking down the road.

After walking for about ten minutes, Han Zhen and Lu Liang's eyes lit up at the same time.

This is a true brightening, not an adjective brightening.

In front of them was a bluestone arch several meters high, and there was light emanating from behind the door.

This was the first time the two of them had seen a light source other than the golden light emanating from Lu Liang's body since they entered the underground.

In unison, they all quickened their pace and walked towards the arch in front of them.
