Chapter 162 Investigation
Zhang Shun's screams filled the small secret room, obviously scared. From the screams, he could hear the hairs all over his body standing up - if anything.
He closed his eyes and took out his fist gloves and smashed them out. The sound of bone shattering in anticipation did not sound, and the fist gloves were embedded in the vine wall. Alice, who was originally standing in that position, had already disappeared into the darkness.
What scared Zhang Shun was the hot wax on the top of her head. She could build a vine fort. Alice's ability to control the vine for the tilt. It was not difficult for her to control the tilt of the rattan chandelier and drip the wax on Zhang Shun's head.
The wax dripped extremely accurately. It first fell on Zhang Shun's eyebrows, and then immediately slid into his eyes. The hot wax entered his eyes, which scared Zhang Shun to the point of being so fragile that as the most vulnerable vital part of the human body, anyone would be shocked if his eyes were hurt.
"Oh, if you were playing wax dripping instead of whipping at the beginning, I wouldn't have started to act so early!" Zhang Shun sighed and pulled out the solidified wax in his eyes.
Alice ran away, but the vines did not stop attacking. The walls, altars and chandeliers were erected in the room, and the vines were constantly waving, like tentacles and poisonous snakes.
The vines will not bite people, but they will tangle people. When they are not moved, the vines cannot withstand Zhang Shun's pull. But once they move, the strength advantage of the plants will appear. Although they will not become tougher, they are too numerous and are still growing.
Zhang Shun's actions were greatly limited. He had no sharp weapon on him, so he could only pull the vines to move forward slowly. In addition, he didn't know where he was, could not tell the direction, and he could not get a response when shouting loudly. He hesitated when moving forward, and his speed was even more pitifully slow.
Fortunately, Alice's return was in the same direction as when she ran away. Although the narrow aisle had been re-enclosed, Zhang Shun did not think that Alice would deliberately go around in circles when walking among the vines. She must be straightforward. It is absolutely right to move in this direction, as long as there is no problem with her sense of direction.
The earplugs burned out when their body was hot, and it took a lot of effort to take them out of the ear piercing. I couldn't hear Jenny's surveillance message, and I didn't know how the wing group was arranged on the periphery. Zhang Shun was worried that Merios was about to escape. After all, the previous "mirror" seemed to be trying to trap them there, specifically to delay time.
But if I really have to delay time to escape, where will Alice have the time to play "corpse" here? As the builder of the Vine Castle, she is an indispensable figure if she wants to play tricks.
After shook his head and put aside all the distracting thoughts, Zhang Shun shouted Jia Banxian's name while pulling forward with the vines. When he woke up from hibernation, he could not feel any changes in his body at all, nor did he know whether his life span had increased or decreased. The only thing that could be confirmed was that the nucleus became stronger, which should be beneficial.
After moving forward for more than ten minutes, Zhang Shun smelled a burnt smell. Although he didn't know how this smell came about, it was a clue after all. It was a good choice to look for the smell.
The more you go, the more burnt smell, the heavier it will be. In the end, the person who can prick it will burst into tears. Gradually, after the vines are pulled open, they will bring up a cluster of black smoke. After sucking it in, the throat will burn. Zhang Shun's skin becomes cold again, his heartbeat and breathing slow down, his body enters a semi-hibernation state, and his movements are slow.
When he arrived at the pyramid-shaped room where the four of them had fought each other, Zhang Shun saw the pile of dark vines on the ground, and Mars burst out from time to time, and black smoke was emerging from the pile of burning residues.
After wandering around the room for a few times, he did not find any passage. The four of them seemed to have left, and the digging of the passage was closed again. It didn't matter. Zhang Shun believed that he could catch up with the four people, but the key was that he couldn't tell the direction now.
In desperation, he began to carefully check the vine wall. The color of the newly grown vines should be different from those roasted by fire. As long as you find a little clue, you can have an accurate direction.
The room was not too big. After quickly checking the first vine wall, Zhang Shun came to the second side again, touched it with his hands and looked at it with his eyes, but just as he reached the position close to the middle, he screamed again and disappeared from the spot.
A big pit appeared on the ground. Zhang Shun was lying at the bottom of the pit, half of his body was buried. He spit out the soil in his mouth and sat up with a "shenyin".
This is a wide tunnel, with black in front and behind. It seems that Zhang Shun has stepped on the tunnel.
"Hey, there is a sound behind it, it sounds like Zhang Shun. Do you want to go back and take a look?" Jia Banxian's voice sounded in front of him, sounding like he was deliberately suppressed.
Before Zhang Shun could answer, a mummy suddenly rose from the ground in front of him, bowed down and looked at him carefully, as if a person with high myopia was looking for glasses, and the mummy's face was also wrapped in bandages. I don't know how to use it to see it.
"What a Zhang Shun! Um... Um..." Osiris's voice was very excited, but he was covered with his mouth after he was halfway through his words.
"Don't scream, what should I do if I'm found out? Go quickly and go back to pick him up." After Loki said that, footsteps rang out in the tunnel.
After a while, Jia Banxian jumped over and rushed over, let out a gentle "ha" and pulled Zhang Shunsu to the ground.
The three Liu Shi also came over with a smile and asked happily. Seeing that everyone was talking in a low voice, Zhang Shun asked curiously: "Didn't you call in directly before? Why did you suddenly get out of prison again? Cutting rattan is more convenient than digging soil, right?"
Jia Banxian said proudly: "Didn't it catch fire just now? I guess that Alice came to put out the fire and exposed the land. I thought, since she controlled the vines, she would definitely regard the vines as her eyes and ears. No matter how we acted, she would know. The best way was to find a road without vines. There was only soil without vines here, and she would definitely not see us. She originally thought she had dug deep enough, but she still trampled on it by you."
"I'm serious, there's no way. Did you come up with this idea?" Zhang Shun smiled embarrassedly and said with a hint of embarrassment.
"Of course! These people are amazing, but they don't like to use their brains. Of course I came up with such a good idea." Jia Banxian became more and more proud of his words, and his eyes narrowed into a slit as he smiled.
Zhang Shun gave a thumbs up: "The idea is indeed quite good, but have you estimated how big this vine castle is and how far should it be? If you go too far and leave the scope of the vine castle, we will be jailbreak."
"Of course I have considered it. Every time I go forward, I let Osiris control the mummy to float up and take a look. If there is a room, we will go up, and if there is no room, we will continue to move forward." Jia Banxian said with a smile.
"But if the vine was Alice's eyes, wouldn't the mummy be discovered as soon as he went out?"
"I have also considered it. As long as I don't destroy the vines, I think Alice wouldn't notice it. Although it is ears, the vines do not really have eyes and ears. There is a separate passage when the mummy rises. If you take a look, you will not touch the vines. In this way, Alice will not be able to find it!"
"I didn't see it, I thought it quite well. It's really four cobblers who can beat Zhuge Liang, but what's wrong with you talking in a low voice? Don't you have no ears?"
"Isn't this a fear that someone on the ground will hear it? Where are you? Where did you go just now? Is it okay?" Jia Banxian asked with concern.
"I'm so embarrassed to say it!" Zhang Shun glared at Jia Banxian: "I don't even think about it anymore. I'm abused by Alice. I'm whipped and dripped wax."
Jia Banxian laughed and said, "This matter... don't tell the boss when you go back, I'll give you the hush money."
Zhang Shun also smiled and said, "It seems that you have made plans long ago. If I were really abused, you would give Lanbing to me for mental damage, right?"
Jia Banxian smiled embarrassedly and made a promise.
Zhang Shun turned to Osiris and asked, "If your mummies can appear on the ground at will, why not use them to reconnaise? Just come out and look around, and you might be able to find Rin Ito and Yu Xiaoyao."
"Ahha!" Osiris smiled strangely, and after holding it in for a long time, he said: "Good idea!"
Everyone rolled their eyes and looked at Osiris. With a "hey", Tyre smashed the compass in his hand hard to the ground, and made a very deep hole in the ground.
"It seems that the longer you live, the more confused you become, the more you are, the more you are confused. It has been tens of thousands of years, and you are at this level." Zhang Shun said this as he wished.
Osiris ignored Zhang Shun's joke, sat down on the ground, and said, "It is not easy to protect me and 'see' through many mummies at the same time." After saying that, he suddenly realized that he was the loneliest of these five people. There were two people on the inn and two people on the MI6 Department. One of them was Mossad's, so he summoned the largest mummy to protect himself and closed his eyes.
Zhang Shun, Jia Banxian, Loki and Tyre surrounded Osiris in the middle, thinking about their own worries silently. What Zhang Shun was most worried about was that Yu Xiaoyao and Ito Rin were no longer in the Vine Castle. In this case, they were just messing around here and wasting time.
Five minutes later, Osiris's body shook and slowly opened his eyes: "I found it. They were in the center of the Tengbao, in a large roofless room. Yu Xiaoyao, Ito Rin and the three Japanese were all there. Only Merios was there in the room. I didn't see anyone else."
"What is Merios doing?" Zhang Shun breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously. Now he only needs to know Merios' actions to roughly infer what he wants to do.
