My heart suddenly sank. I didn't believe there was any way Dong Xiaowei could make me open the door by myself, but the other party's words made me feel that she must have some kind of back-up plan.
Dong Xiaowei said slowly outside the gate: "The bronze gate should be able to be opened from the inside. Originally I wanted to go in by myself, but now that it has been exposed, I will wait for Wang Huan to open the door from inside. In this way , wouldn’t we save more effort?”
Dong Xiaowei was right. In theory, this bronze door should have a way to be opened from the inside.
Just imagine, the Bronze Gate at the top of Gushan must be the most sacred place. Not everyone is qualified to enter the Bronze Gate; once someone enters the Bronze Gate, whether it is the wizard of the tribe or the king of the tribe, they must come out on their own. .
The wizard sacrificed a living person and opened the door in order to gain the awe of the natives and make people feel that he was the only being who could communicate with the gods. But what about after communicating with the gods? He still wants to sacrifice himself to get out? Let’s not talk about whether the natives will be suspicious of this. If the python does not turn its body in the planned direction, what will the natives outside think? I'm afraid you might feel that the wizard has been summoned by the gods, or simply abandoned by the gods, right? The wizard won't take the risk, so he must open the door himself.
Since Dong Xiaowei dared to say something, it meant that she had a way to force me to go out on my own. But what exactly did she do to me
Before I could figure out Dong Xiaowei's intention, a faint flute sounded outside. As I listened carefully, I didn't feel anything strange about the other party's flute sound. Dong Xiaowei said in a deep voice after the sound of the flute: "Wang Huan, look at Ye Xun beside you."
In shock, I took out the fox bell and shone it at Ye Xun. Ye Xun, who was sweating profusely and pale in face, seemed to be suffering unimaginable pain. He clutched the handle of the knife tightly and sat on the ground, gritting his teeth to prevent himself from making any sound, but he had already bitten his lip. There was blood.
I exclaimed: "Ye Xun, what's wrong with you?"
While Ye Xun shook his head in silence, Dong Xiaowei smiled and said: "I have poisoned each of you, and Ye Xun is no exception. I can control your life and death with the sound of the flute. If you are willing to look at Ye Xun I am bleeding and dying in front of you, and I can definitely play a song called "Farewell" for you."
Dong Xiaowei continued without waiting for me to speak: "You must be wondering why you are fine now, right? In fact, the person who is fine should be Ye Xun. Remember the pill he gave you at the bottom of the cave? Right? That's a rare antidote. I think Ye Xun doesn't have too much in his hands. One pill should be his limit. In order to save you, he put himself on the road to death. "
I asked Ye Xun in a trembling voice, "Is what she said true?"
Ye Xun raised his hand and pointed at my hand. Does he want to write on my hand? I quickly reached out my hand, and Ye Xun really started stroking my hand.
Dong Xiaowei said outside: "If it were anyone else, I might not be so relieved. But you, Wang Huan, are the ones who can help your friends. Ye Xun risked his life to save you, and you wouldn't refuse to save him." , so you definitely open doors."
After Dong Xiaowei finished speaking, Ye Xun also wrote four words on the palm of my hand - "Delay time."
Although I didn't know what Ye Xun meant, I still followed his instructions and approached the door and said loudly: "Dong Xiaowei, I admit that I was plotted by you at the beginning. But after your identity was exposed, the two of us are not necessarily the same. Who wins and who loses.”
Dong Xiaowei was indeed intrigued by my words: "I still have the same question, how did you discover my identity?"
As I spoke, I glanced at Ye Xun. He was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and wisps of white mist rose above his head. I was immediately stunned by Ye Xun. Isn't this the common plot of internal healing in martial arts movies? It turns out that those things are not random things in movies, but actually exist, but most people have never been exposed to them.
I was so shocked that I forgot to talk to Dong Xiaowei. The latter urged: "Wang Huan, who has always been very articulate, doesn't need such a long time to organize his words, right?"
I quickly said: "At the beginning, I didn't doubt you. At that time, you were the last person I should doubt in my heart. But those few words Zhang Shu said before his death reminded me."
"Before Zhang Shu died, he asked me whether I deliberately arranged for them to come and die. In fact, others have also said these words. He said that I deserved to die. Without me, there wouldn't be so many things."
I said solemnly: "If Zhang Shu's words are regarded as facts, then I have planned how to calculate all the classmates from the beginning. I must make all preparations before departure. People who have touched the travel voucher before departure, There were only two of us, and the only person who later contacted the travel agency, arranged the bus, and contacted the hotel was you. So you are the one who has the best chance to take action."
I stopped here, but Dong Xiaowei smiled and said: "Based on this alone, you can conclude that I am plotting against you? What if you are wrong? Aren't you afraid of killing innocent people by mistake?"
I sighed and said: "When I doubted you, the flaws you had accidentally left were exposed one by one, and I became more and more certain that you were the mastermind behind it."
Dong Xiaowei said with great interest: "I really haven't found any flaws in myself."
I said slowly: "The various strange events we have experienced since arriving at Fuxian Lake are actually half true and half false. The mysteries and legends of Fuxian Lake do exist. If we travel normally, there will only be a small amount of them." The chance of colliding with one of the legends."
"Without you, we would have avoided the legendary ghosts and spirits in time, at least not causing such heavy casualties. However, you have forced us all into the legend of Fuxian Lake step by step. Eighteen A classmate! It’s like they all died in your hands, doesn’t your heart hurt?”
Dong Xiaowei responded calmly: "I think now is not the time to discuss these things, right? What if you know the answer? Whether I am distressed or not has nothing to do with the duel between us. Am I right? ?”
"You're right!" Dong Xiaowei's indifference really shocked me.
Dong Xiaowei said again: "Okay. You can continue talking!"
I tried my best to control my emotions and said, "The first time was when you pulled me to see the phantom in the lake in the hotel corridor. The speed of the fish-shaped water god was not very fast, and I was only about three to five meters away from it. You ran all the way here, didn't you see that black shadow?"
Dong Xiaowei admitted: "I did see the water god, and I let him go on purpose. You continue."
I said again: "That tour guide is actually one of yours, right? You deliberately let people take away Che Chi and Yang Honghao the night before, but then let people pretend to be them and deceive Li Ming. Li Ming is an impatient person. If you know something from the beginning, you won't delve into it further. He should have seen the so-called Che Chi or Yang Honghao far away, and believed his reasons. So Li Ming was clearly 'lying', but it made people unable to see Come out with some flaws."
"You let the shadows of Che Chi and Yang Honghao appear on the underwater wall. In fact, you wanted everyone to be frightened and think that we were haunted by ghosts. However, I didn't figure out what method you used to make the two people... The shadow appears in the water?"
Dong Xiaowei smiled and said: "Of course it's a small trick, it can also be said to be a secret technique. In short, I can't explain it to you."
I also knew that she wouldn't explain anything to me, so I continued: "Later, the Jimensame we encountered was the real thing. But the appearance of Jimensame probably also had your 'credit' in it, right? Your purpose is to Make us think we’re being hunted by the Lake God?”
Dong Xiaowei admitted: "The Ghost-Faced Shark and the Water God can be said to be natural enemies. As long as they smell the Water God's scent, they will come to hunt them. You put something on Li Ming and the others, so the Ghost-Faced Shark appeared in time."
Dong Xiaowei actually explained several lives in such an understatement. I couldn't help clenching my fists: "The tour guide is yours, and even the front desk of the hotel is yours. Everything we stayed and traveled along the way was The tour guide is making arrangements, and she can easily erase Che Chi's and their travel records; if you find someone to take Che Chi's phone to answer the police call, the lies you made up will become the truth, and our truth will become What a joke!”
Dong Xiaowei said: "What you said is roughly correct. When Che Chi videotaped you, he was indeed in our hands. Guess, was he dead at that time?"
"I don't want to guess!" In fact, I already guessed the answer. At that time, Che Chi's eyes seemed dull and lifeless. In fact, he was still alive, but he didn't give me any hints just to stay alive.
I suppressed my anger and said, "One thing I didn't understand at first was why you wanted to create the illusion that Che Chi was not here for a trip. Later I thought about it clearly. You don't want the police to get involved, right?"
"That's right." Dong Xiaowei said, "Once the police get involved in the investigation, I will be very passive. Only if the police think that you are a group of willful, nonsensical children who want to report false cases to impress the public, will they be completely unable to believe you. Even if you run to report the crime again, they will think it is a child's nonsense. In this way, you will have no other way except to continue to search for the truth in the legend. "
Dong Xiaowei paused and said: "Actually, I didn't expect all the students to be so 'cooperative'. After being reprimanded by the police for a few words, they directly admitted that they were messing around. Sometimes, the more people want to seek good luck, If you avoid evil, you will be more likely to fall into greater trouble. Are you right?"
Dong Xiaowei didn't want to know the answer from my mouth, so he said immediately without waiting for my reply: "Go on!"
