Looking at the stockings and high heels in the photo, Xu Le narrowed his eyes slightly.
I turned my head to look at the movement in the aisle, and bright spots of light began to appear at the end of the aisle, as if they were moving rapidly downwards.
Xu Le briefly assessed his condition: he was injured, physically exhausted, and mentally drained.
The only thing worth bragging about is that the psychic energy is basically no different from the full value state.
"This doesn't feel like a night watchman..."
Xu Le took another look at it and then began to make seals.
"Ritual - Gate of Crossing Boundary."
Psychic energy surged and the surrounding air fluctuated, but the gate to cross the boundary that Xu Le expected did not appear.
Layers of golden marks appeared on the surrounding sticky walls.
Xu Le seemed to have seen these marks somewhere.
"Those things I saw on the Golden Light Tree when my soul left my body, some kind of sealed space effect?"
Xu Le knew that this was most likely some kind of testing site related to the golden tree.
In order to ensure that the existence of this place would not be spread or transferred, the people who were actually responsible for guarding this place set up a magic array to seal the space here at a very early stage.
In this case, the only way to escape from here is to walk through the corridor.
The clues became clearer, but now he was trapped.
Although he could survive by escaping to his eldest brother's place for refuge, he would probably never be able to find out the truth of the matter, nor would he be able to confirm whether Mo Chen was dead or not.
And even if you escape to your eldest brother, there is a limit to the time you can stay in the dark land.
If the people who come here stay here, there will still be risks when they go out.
"That's bad enough."
He summoned the toad again and then climbed onto its back.
"Why are you looking for me again? It's so cramped here, there's no room for me to perform."
"Escape." Xu Le said lightly.
"Hmm?" The toad frowned, then stretched out a claw, held a steel fork in his right hand, a shield in his left hand, and pushed hard on the ground with his legs.
Bang!
This big jump made Toad and Xu Le fly diagonally upwards like a cannonball.
Toad didn't know why Xu Le said that, but it seemed... he was very tired.
I just don't know what the enemy will be like...
"Has it not been resolved yet? It feels like you have cleared this place out."
"There should be some people from the Red Moon system coming up there. I'll take a break."
"good."
Because the downward stairs were too long, when Toad had leaped about one-third of the way, several Rotten Ones that had crawled out of the wall appeared in front of them.
"Without the original seal, will the things rotting in the wall come out? They need to get out as soon as possible."
“Why is there someone inside the wall?”
"Tens of thousands of people go missing every year in Lighthouse."
"What's the meaning?"
"How can an ordinary transcendental person easily obtain something like the Attraction of Life, which requires the energy of the Golden Tree?"
"Forget it, I don't understand what you are saying, let's go."
Acolyte of Decay, Level 2 Weirdness, Red Moon-God.
The toad's eyes straightened and he hit it with a stick.
The huge shield cleared the way, and it knocked all the monks who were blocking its way into the abyss.
Although the Acolyte is part of the Red Moon system, the gap between level 2 and level 4 is too big.
The toad rushed all the way and killed many people.
After some monks realized something was wrong, they pressed their hands against the wall.
Thick branches stretched out from the wall and stabbed at Xu Le and Toad.
"Why is it a tree? And it looks like the Ancient Yinduo Tree."
"It is indeed a tree, and it does look very much like the ancient Yinduo tree, but the two are not the same thing." Xu Le affirmed.
"What's going on?"
"I also want to know what's going on, but right now I don't have enough information. Even if I have some ideas, they are just speculations, and I haven't figured it out myself."
"Okay, hold on tight then."
"Got it. Go ahead."
The toad puffed up his chest as he charged.
"Water Style - Infinite."
A large amount of water gushed out, and all the monks who were blocking Xu Le and his companions were washed away by the water.
But going further up, there was a guy who looked more senior than the acolytes below. Xu Le's gaze lingered on him for a while.
Rotten Sacrifice, Level 3 Monster, Red Moon-God.
"Level 3 guy, be careful."
Hearing Xu Le say this, Toad was a little unhappy.
"You have to remind me about level 3? Do you look down on me?"
"Stop talking nonsense, he's coming."
"Ring spell."
A circle of light rose from the priest's hands, but just as he made this move, a black sword pulled out a very long distance and pierced directly through his brain.
Mimicry, the Night Fury's Approval can mimic other types of weapons.
This 40-meter-long stabbing sword is a copy of the No. 2 puppet golden sword man.
"Keep going upwards. The real guards should not have arrived yet. It's still not too late to leave now."
"good."
The lightning spread from Xu Le to the toad's body. After being activated by the lightning, the toad's speed increased by 1 times.
He rushed all the way to the end of the stairs.
"All of you, die!"
Toad wielded a steel fork and a shield, hacking and killing along the way, ignoring the bites of the Red Moon monsters, and carved out a bloody path for Xu Le.
Above is the door at the top of the secret room.
The light is right before our eyes.
Xu Le raised his Qi and formed a seal:
"Spell - Thunder Tribulation."
"Water Style - Infinite."
When thunder and water intersected, Xu Le also injected red evil into it.
A rough jet of energy gushed out and hit the door of the secret room.
But this impact is not enough.
The running toad assumed a charging posture, and Xu Le injected all the lightning into its weapon.
"Toad Thrust! Open it for me."
boom!
The toad's huge body directly smashed the entrance of the secret room, and as it flew into the sky, shrill sirens appeared around them.
"What's going on?" Jin Chan asked curiously.
"This is not Zion. The guards are not on the same side as us."
Xu Le has always felt that he hated the privileged class, but now he kind of misses the time when he was a privileged class in Zion.
"Thanks, Brother Gua, let's run away."
"And you?"
"This is already an external environment. It can no longer trap me."
"good."
The Toad didn't waste any time. There were already too many night watchmen surrounding it. Since Xu Le had a way to escape, there was no need for it to stay here any longer.
"It's gone!"
When Xu Le saw the toad disappear into white smoke, he also prepared to leave.
"Don't move, stand still and put your hands on your head!"
Looking at the night watchmen approaching with guns raised, Xu Le couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.
Once upon a time, he also wanted to be a civil servant peacefully.
"Magic Eye - Spell - Gate of Crossing Boundary."
The space gate opened directly in front of many night watchmen and guards. Without the restrictive formation, Xu Le walked away openly.
However, the passage to the secret room was revealed after Toad broke open it.
Those rotten monks made tiny, crunching noises in the corridor.
The night watchman in Area C looked at the rotten monsters gradually crawling out of the passage, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.
"Notify the higher-ups."
"Up there? Is that the captain?"
"Captain, what the hell? We need to inform the district chief. What are you waiting for? Go now."
"yes."
The situation became chaotic in an instant, but Xu Le, who had escaped from here, had already met Ai Li and the others at the place they had agreed on before.
…
"Is everything settled?"
As soon as they met, Xu Le took off his shirt and sat on the sofa.
Ai Li didn't waste any words. He knelt on one knee in front of Xu Le and began to disinfect and bandage the wounds on his body.
As a warrior, these are the basic skills.
"Well, puppets No. 2 and No. 3 have been dealt with. How about you? Have you dealt with Mo Chen?"
Xu Le shook his head slightly:
"It looks like it's dead, but I don't feel it."
"What's the meaning?"
Xu Le took out his previous notes and directly poured out the two photos inside.
Gu Beichen was a very perverted person. He could tell at a glance that the shoes and stockings in the photo belonged to Wang Man.
"Wow, Xu Le, you still have this hobby?"
"Get lost."
Xu Le did not take that photo, but picked up the photo of the rotten young man.
"This person's clothes are the same as Mo Chen's, his body shape is very similar, and this person also happens to be a cripple."
"What do you mean?" Wang Shu and Ai Li didn't quite understand.
Xu Le then opened his notes again and pointed out the passage describing the young man.
The most beautiful thing about him is probably his strong character, which makes people like him very much...
If this Mo Chen is Xiong Zemo's prey, then killing Mo Chen by me may not lead to the death of the real Xiong Zemo.
"In fact, I don't know what his name is, Xiong Zemo, Mo Chen, or something else. Anyway, his next prey should be Wang Man."
Xu Le pointed out the passage in the notes that described Wang Man. After reading it, Gu Beichen and Wang Shu both felt their scalps tingling.
"Is this person a foot fetishist?" Gu Beichen asked.
This time Xu Le did not refute:
“It is indeed possible.”
Ai Li pondered for a while, and suddenly said to Xu Le:
"Do you remember the first time Puppet No. 3 Luo Juya went to the Black Alley?"
"Tell us about your findings." Xu Le and others looked at Ai Li.
Rewi thought for a while, then repeated:
“I felt very strange about what Luo Juya said to the bunny girl at that time. Although I didn’t know what it meant, I still wrote it down.
The woman soaked in alcohol and sex smelled full of decay and corruption, like maggots and rats crawling out of a sewer. Her diseased lower body was like a swamp filled with the smell of death. It was unknown how many lives had died there.
A mind dominated by desires has no desire for life, only endless lamentations and confusion in the darkness.
After being questioned by the bunny girl, she then said that she had no interest in a life like yours.
These words don't sound like the tone of a normal conversation, nor are they what you need to say when searching for your information.
While she was looking for you, she stared at many women. At that time, Luo Juya seemed to be simply interested in young and beautiful women. "
Hearing this, Xu Le frowned:
"Let's get in the car first and discuss this later. Also, when we came down from the tower earlier, did Wang Man tell us where she was going?"
"She said she wanted to get the qualification to enter the tower."
"The real qualification to enter the tower..."
Xu Le hesitated for a few seconds:
"Let's go and drive to the Illuminati Church in the upper city."
"yes."
…
The motorcycle was driving on the road in silence. No one disturbed Xu Le who was thinking. Even Gu Beichen was very honest at this time.
"He is very excited." Xu Le said suddenly.
"What? You're so excited." Ai Li turned his head and looked at him.
"When I broke free from the restraints, Mo Chen was very excited. When I injured him, he was even more excited. Even before I killed him, he looked relieved.
I also made a promise to him at the time that I would help him pass on the medical technology he developed.”
"Is there any problem with this?"
Ai Li and the other two were very puzzled. The contact between Mo Chen and Xu Le was always one-on-one, so no one else had any way of knowing the specific details between them.
"What if everything is arranged?" Xu Le's eyes flickered, and it was unclear whether he was asking the other three people or himself.
"Arranged? The initial meeting did seem to be arranged, but wasn't he here to hand over the medical technology research to you? And everything that happened afterwards was exactly as you expected."
Xu Le also nodded. Many things were true. There was no doubt that the experimental building and Mo Chen’s research technical data were all true.
But that false feeling never goes away.
Just when Xu Le was frowning, Gu Beichen suddenly interrupted.
"My family was quite wealthy when I was young, but I didn't have much money. When I was 7-8 years old, I didn't even have candy. At that time, in order to make myself look respectable, I even lied to my mother. Not to mention my mother, I even lied to myself when I was cruel."
Wang Shu glanced at him:
"Actually, it wasn't just when you were a kid. You're like this now, too."
"Fuck! I'm talking to Xu Le about something important, why are you nagging me?" Gu Beichen was a little angry and embarrassed.
However, Xu Le did not understand Gu Beichen's meaning:
"What exactly do you want to say?"
“It’s just like when I was a kid, I did all kinds of pretentious things just to hide the fact that I didn’t have any money.
This Mo Chen did so many things, I think he must be hiding something special, something very important."
Xu Le stared at Gu Beichen for a while. Whenever this happened, Gu Beichen would be smart for a while.
Sometimes Xu Le couldn't figure out whether he was stupid or just being low-key.
"You are awesome... What could Mo Chen, or Xiong Zemo, want to hide? Wang Shu, drive faster."
"good."
Xu Le entered a state of emptiness and sorted out the information about Mo Chen in his hands.
"Xiong Zemo, the head of District B, is a Level 4 puppeteer. He is very powerful and has a complex system. He has masters like Luo Juya under him, but these are just superficial things.
He trained talented alchemists like Gu Jianuo and developed the energy of the Golden Light Tree and the Life-Inducing Potion.
But according to my contact and understanding, Xiong Zemo's power is not that great, and the experiment of the Golden Light Tree requires a large number of living bodies.
Although he was the executor of this matter, he was not the leader of it.
Xiong Zemo knew everything he had done, so he used Mo Chen to say those words.
The dissatisfaction and resentment towards the lighthouse are real.
All his research results, including medical replacement technology, are real.
His own ideals are real.
But in the end, his desire for life was real, so he would screen his prey and find Mo Chen and Wang Man.
Teleportation is not allowed in the secret room in order to prevent the information in the secret room from leaking out. This should be the work of the Illuminati.
In fact, there was only one person in the secret room.
That’s Xiong Zemo himself…” Having said this, Xu Le suddenly stopped.
Ai Li stared at Xu Le talking to himself, not daring to breathe. After a long time, Xu Le suddenly said:
"The Illuminati never intended to prevent my escape, nor could they prevent my appearance.
The person they were always on guard against was Xiong Zemo.
He arranged everything and drove everything because he himself was a puppeteer.
What he wants is to live in the true sense, so he looks for a new body and desires a vibrant life.
His real purpose is to live again."
"What do you mean?" Ai Li.
Xu Le bit his lip:
“I originally thought he left using some puppet reincarnation ability.
But now I think about it, I just thought that I killed him. In fact, he was not dead at all, and he didn't leave at all.
He escaped in the true sense only after I escaped from the secret room.
It was me... who helped him break the seal of the passage."
