When Lan Moying was plotting against me, the same thing happened on the other side of the Dark Castle.
The protagonists of the discussion plan were replaced by two white adventurers. Later I learned that the leader of the adventurers was named Andre, who was the direct person in charge of the fifth family of the Adventurer Guild. His deputy was the so-called Adventurer Eagle. Arnold.
It is said that the two of them have never failed in their cooperation. In addition, the Falcon Adventure Group, which ranks third among the adventurers, has come out in full strength, and the lineup is beyond the scope of normal adventures.
Andre, who approached the valley from the front of the basin, apparently also saw the fire burning in the church: "Someone got there first? They seemed to have taken a shortcut."
Arnold sneered and said: "Anyone who wants to take that road is a fool. If they go that way, they will not be able to evacuate the dark castle quickly. They will only die."
"No, no, no..." Andre shook his head and said, "I admire that person who dared to jump from the back of the castle. There is a Chinese saying called 'The cauldron sinks the boat'. The adventurers who rush into the castle obviously cut off their own escape route." .If they can’t get the secret of the castle, they will all die inside. At this time, it is easier to stimulate people’s potential, and maybe they can complete the mission.”
Aruode sneered and said: "Although I don't know what "burning the boat" means, but I know that I will break the neck of anyone who dares to steal my business. Not even the first family."
Andre said: "This time, the first family did not participate in the treasure hunt. For us, it may not be a good signal."
"The Tulip family, the fourth family, and we are all involved. The first family has been standing still, which is very puzzling!" Andre said: "Anyway, I can't worry about the first family."
Aruode hesitated and said, "You don't want to participate in the treasure hunt anymore?"
"No!" Andre shook his head and said: "We must participate in this treasure hunt, and we must eat the tulips. They have been in the third position for too long. Someone should replace them."
Andre said: "The third family is now like a lion that is about to die of old age. We are just a group of vultures waiting to eat the carcass. The family members Anne took away are the last vitality of Tulip. After destroying them, they are waiting for us. It was a feast, even if there was another lion waiting to eat his body, I could still grab a piece of fat meat."
A Ruode said murderously: "Then let's let the lion die faster and everyone speed up."
When the team of Wugui Sect and adventurers quickly advanced towards the dark castle, a third team also appeared near the castle, but they came from another direction.
I also considered entering the castle from the side, but in the end I gave up on this plan.
The team wearing white armor and cross helmets did not stop for a moment from the moment they appeared, and quickly pushed towards the castle while covering each other. If someone looks down from a high altitude, all he can see is a group of white figures spreading rapidly in the dark forest. The interlaced black and white spread in the night, with a chilling feeling in the strangeness, just like light and darkness in a limited space. Penetrating each other until they can devour each other.
Light and darkness may be interchangeable, but they can never coexist in a balanced way. Failure to make concessions is the beginning of confrontation.
As I hid in the shelter for a long time, the members of Tulip gradually began to feel uneasy. At first, only the lower-ranking members were walking back and forth. In the end, even Anne couldn't bear the silent waiting and came to my side and said : "Wang Huan, what on earth are we waiting for?"
"Waiting for you friends and enemies of the Tulip family." I said solemnly: "It was an accident for the Tulip family that I came to Britain and accepted your employment, but the curse of the Tulip family broke out and the need to enter the dark castle in large numbers was unexpected. It is inevitable. If, I guessed correctly, someone wants to eat your family."
Anne nodded calmly and said, "I have already investigated potential enemies of the family."
I said calmly: "Have you ever checked on members of your own family?"
Anne's face suddenly turned ugly, and Elena said coldly: "A descendant of Tulip will never betray the family."
"Really? Then please take out the map." I took the sheepskin map again and picked up the flashlight to shine on the map. Under the illumination of a flashlight, the sheepskin map quickly revealed a line of fluorescent writing thanking you for your generosity. Roger
I waved the flashlight on the parchment twice: "What do you say now?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Elena screamed: "The map has always been kept in the hands of the clan leader. Roger the Phantom Thief cannot take away the map."
I said calmly: "This map is in the hands of your clan leader, which means that none of you have ever seen a real map. Even if someone gives you a fake map, you won't see the problem. If no one If you see through the map's secret, you will only die. This is why I don't follow the map and insist on taking another route."
Annie said calmly: "You have never touched the map, how do you know that the map has been changed?"
I pointed to my eyes: "Because, my eyes. What I can see, others may not be able to see."
While I was talking, a Tulip member suddenly stood up: "You lie, no thief can enter the Tulip family's treasure house, not even Roger the Phantom Thief. Besides, Roger the Phantom Thief is still the thief from a hundred years ago. Could it be that Could he have replaced the map in the treasure house a hundred years ago?"
I looked at him coldly: "What do you want to say?"
The man said with a cold look: "You are the only one who has touched the map from beginning to end, and only you have the opportunity to change the map."
My eyes suddenly sank: "You continue?"
The man sneered: "Mr. Magician from the East, I have to admire your acting skills. You not only deceived Elena, you also killed Arthur."
The man pointed back at Li Xiaomao: "You all thought that Arthur died from the curse. In fact, she had tampered with Arthur's body. Arthur originally planned to go down the mountain with us, but she deliberately blocked him. Behind him. Arthur is a gentleman, and he always likes to be humble to ladies. It was because of this gentleman's humility that he lost his life. "
When Li Xiaomao looked at the other party, the Tulip members standing near Li Xiaomao simultaneously raised their guns and pointed at Li Xiaomao's vitals.
Just as Ren Tianqing and Lu Xinyao were about to move, all the Tulip members raised their guns and surrounded them. This time, the members of Tulip had already dispersed, surrounding us in twos and threes. They purposely separated several of us one by one. As long as someone moved, they could control our hands at any time.
I looked at Annie with a gloomy face: "Is this your arrangement?"
Anne said: "Mr. Wang Huan, I have to tell you. Before I set off, I hired Arthur as my personal consultant. Arthur has a very interesting nickname in the industry, called Shadow Detective. The real Arthur Mr. Arthur rarely shows up, and the only people who show up are his assistants. Therefore, the person who is talking to you is Mr. Arthur."
I narrowed my eyes and looked at Annie: "In other words, you are using Arthur to investigate me?"
"No!" Anne shook her head and said, "I just entrusted Mr. Arthur to investigate the castle. Unexpectedly, he saved my life before the task even started."
"Okay, my dear Mr. Magician. Now it's time for me to present the evidence." Arthur smiled and walked to Ren Tianqing's side, reached out and pulled out a parchment scroll from his backpack: "The real map is here. "
As I frowned, Arthur raised the map and said, "Mr. Magician, I have to admire your superb magic. You used magic to deceive everyone at Wyke Club, making people believe that you are a warlock from the east wind." , the apostle of the gods, deceived Elena's trust. Then, in order to defraud Miss Anne's trust, you staged a large-scale magic for us. The name of this magic is 'Devil's Contract'."
Arthur pointed to Ye Xun next to me and said: "At that time, Mr. Ye Xun, who was also a magician, first used pieces of paper dipped in white phosphorus to perform a good show of making fire with his bare hands; then he used Something similar fired two fireballs to coordinate with your actors hiding outside the church, and they just put on a real magic show for me."
Arthur's meaning is very simple, that is the so-called devil's contract, it is just that my accomplices and I cooperated to perform a good show. But he cleverly ignored a lot of things. He didn't mention how the corpse turned into yellow sand, nor how that family member became possessed by evil spirits, nor how Shadow Arthur turned into a stone sculpture in a short period of time. . Only said what he thought was magic.
Burning paper with white phosphorus and flicking fire with bare hands are both within the scope of magic performances and are more in line with ordinary people's cognition. Many programs have even revealed similar magic tricks.
The word "cognition" is a very subtle thing in some cases. People will only have fear or awe when they cannot explain something. Once you explain that kind of thing with common sense, not only will their fear go away, but the anger that comes with it will appear. What Arthur was doing was provoking the wrath of the Tulip members.
He doesn't need to explain everything. As long as he can explain one or two things reasonably, those people will automatically ignore all their questions. Because in their hearts Arthur is more credible. From now on, no one will stop Arthur from doing anything, and no one will believe us no matter what we say.
Sure enough, Arthur's voice suddenly dropped: "Tell me! Where are your accomplices?"
I said in a deep voice: "Mr. Detective, since you said that I am acting, what is the purpose of my acting?"
