Lian Chuan checked all the places in this half of the cave, and found no place that could go out or be destroyed.
He sat down on the ground, took a sip of the glass that Ning Gu gave him earlier.
"Aren't you too calm?" Ning Gu knelt down in front of him, "Do you know that we are trapped here? The old blind man may use us to make a deal with the poet."
"Exactly." Lian Chuan said.
"Why is it just right?" Ning Gu looked at him.
"It saves us from looking for poets." Lian Chuan said.
"Why are you looking for a poet?" Ning Gu also sat down, reaching out to get a cup to drink, but found that another cup of sweet water had been dropped by himself, so he picked up the cup that Lian Chuan had just put down and took a sip.
"I thought this cup was mine." Lian Chuan said.
"Sorry, it's yours." Ning Gu said.
Lian Chuan picked up another cup.
"That cup is mine too," Ning Gu said, "and I remind you responsibly, it's really bad."
Lian Chuan lost interest in drinking, leaned back, looked at Ning Gu: "I'm asking you."
"Ask." Ning Gu raised his chin.
"When I fainted, did you feel anything?" Lian Chuan asked.
"No," Ning Gu said, "I won't hide it from you. I have met this poet twice. Li Xiang said that when he came out there was no light, and anyone who heard him would go crazy."
"You heard him speak." Lian Chuan said.
"Well, ask me who I am." Ning Gu nodded.
Before the change, he would not be so honest with Lianchuan, exchanging information with the hyena... Oh no, it is not an exchange, but providing information to the hyena unconditionally. It is absolutely impossible for travelers to do this.
But the current situation clearly has something to do with the poet, and he is probably going to die if he faces the poet alone, and Lian Chuan still has hope. .
"Who are you..." Lian Chuan repeated in a low voice.
Ning Gu immediately replied: "I am a ghost town..."
"Who gave you the weapon you brought?" Lian Chuan interrupted him.
"The one you snatched away?" Ning Gu looked at him, "The Land King, an old merchant in the ghost town, can get anything. I heard that he has seen Betelgeuse... That's not right..."
"There have been a few Betelgeuses," Lian Chuan said, "Forcibly matching, the probability of making mistakes and dying is very high."
"Now you are the only one, and only you can fit in." Ning Gu felt a chill on his back, "Is everyone else dead?"
"En." Lian Chuan responded.
"Ten thousand died?" Ning Gu asked.
Lian Chuan didn't make another sound.
Ning Gu found that when Lian Chuan spoke, there were basically no unnecessary movements. Except for turning his head and eyes occasionally, there was very little other body language, and it was impossible to judge the authenticity of his speech and his mood.
"The self-destruct weapon belongs to Qi Hang," Lian Chuan said, "There is his information in the database, and there is nothing special in the public information, only that he is missing..."
"Self-destruct?" Ning Gu was stunned, "If you press it, he will die?"
"You can start it, but you may die." Lian Chuan said.
"Aren't you a bit regretful, just don't kick me that day," Ning Gu said, "Maybe it won't be so much trouble if you let me press it."
Lian Chuan glanced at him: "Yes."
"Then tell me, what's the trouble?" Ning Gu lay down on the ground and stretched, "If you explain it clearly to me, I'll know how to help you."
help you.
This word made Lian Chuan feel a little uncomfortable, although he could tell that although Ning Gu was cautious, he was generally a messy and rough character, this sentence was an ordinary truth.
It's just this word, in Lian Chuan's memory, there is only pain.
let me help you.
We're here to help you, if you can...
You have to know that there is only one way to help you.
"You can see my thoughts, my memories." Lian Chuan said.
"I can still feel your pain, your... pain, your..." Ning Gu failed to use the parallel sentence, and sighed, "Pain, you are also the most powerful hyena in the main city, and you are the worst hyena in the ghost city." The low-level travelers under human control are miserable, so there is no memory of pain."
"My memory is incomplete," Lian Chuan didn't respond to his summary, and didn't even skip a sentence. "So I want to know how much you can see and how much you can feel."
"Help you retrieve your memory?" Ning Gu sat up and found that Lian Chuan was still in the same posture as before, not changing at all. This kind of concentration might be difficult for other hyenas.
"Help me keep a secret." Lian Chuan said.
Ning Gu was stunned.
Lian Chuan didn't speak any more.
They were silent together for an indeterminate amount of time, Ning Gu felt his buttocks hurt a bit from the ground, so he moved a bit to a flatter place, and asked, "What's the secret?"
"I'm not sure if you know." Lian Chuan said.
"...All right, then how about I keep this secret?" Ning Gu said, "You can kill me, but the mission you received is to capture me alive. If I die, I'm afraid it's almost the same as your secret being exposed." end."
Lian Chuan didn't speak.
"Right?" Ning Gu raised his eyebrows proudly.
"Yes." Lian Chuan said.
"So what do you do?" Ning Gu was even more proud. He was looking forward to Lian Chuan's expression in this dilemma.
"So I want a second way." Lian Chuan said.
"Where is it?" Ning Gu moved closer to him, staring at his face.
"Meet the poet." Lian Chuan did not hide this point, "maybe we can find a way to protect ourselves."
"What do you see? Wait for that old blind man to find the poet? If there is really a deal, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to speak up. I advise you to be careful." Ning Gu should be very careful, even this first time. The two roads will make him lose the weight to restrain Lian Chuan, but Lian Chuan still has hope if he can live, and he still has to work hard for himself to survive the present.
How can you die if you don't know anything.
"You," Lian Chuan finally moved, turning to look at him, "you can call him here."
"Me?" Ning Gu pointed at himself, "What's the name?"
"I don't know," Lian Chuan's answer was very constructive, "You can figure it out yourself."
In those days when the wind in the ghost town was "extraordinarily strong", travelers didn't go out much, hiding in their huts and waiting for the wind to be "very strong" before going out.
Especially when they just came back from the main city, most travelers will have a good night's sleep, reminisce about the light of the main city, reminisce about the confusion of Lost Valley, and then have a plate of good things they brought back. Most importantly, drink Those who drink alcohol have to let go of the alcohol.
Unless there's a gang fight between several shelters, on days like this, a ghost town is one where there aren't really any ghosts.
It was the first time that all travelers were blocked on the way to the shelter as soon as the car arrived like today.
Those who blocked them on the road were the leader, Li Xiang, and Lin Fan standing in the shadow behind the leader. These three people represented the highest command of the ghost town.
"Where's Ning Gu?" asked the team leader.
No one answered, some people were at a loss, some people were flustered.
The leader's sentence is not a question, but a dying affirmation that he already knows the answer but still asks whoever answers.
The wind was blowing with fog, and waves of black waves swirled around the head of the group. All the travelers lowered their heads. The only person in the ghost town who could make everyone collectively admit that he was the only one.
"Who has seen Ning Gu in the main city?" Li Xiang asked.
This sentence is a question, and relatively mild.
"I saw it," sister Qi raised her head, "the entrance of the tavern in the Valley of Lost Ways that sings the vertical hole."
Li Xiang tilted his head and motioned for her to go over.
When Sister Qi walked over, the travelers with lowered heads seemed to have received the signal at the same time, and suddenly fled in all directions.
The group leader ignored it, just looked at Sister Qi, and asked when she got closer, "Who is he with?"
"Hyena." Sister Qi said.
Both the head of the group and Li Xiang were a little surprised, and Lin Fan behind him also raised his head slightly.
"The hyena has entered the Valley of Lost?" Li Xiang frowned, "How is it possible? Even if he is not lost, can Nine Wings allow the hyena to stay in the bat's territory?"
"It's definitely a hyena," Sister Qi also frowned, "Although she's not wearing a uniform, the murderous look is really easy to recognize."
"Can you recognize who it is?" asked the captain.
"Lian Chuan," Sister Qi didn't hesitate at all, "I really don't know what he looks like, but I have no chance to use that speed, only Lian Chuan."
"Why didn't you bring him back!" the regiment leader suddenly roared angrily.
Sister Qi retreated several meters in an instant, raising her hands to activate her ability to protect herself. Seeing that the head of the group did not make any further moves, she waved her hands and shouted: "It's unreasonable! How can I bring him back! Then It’s Lian Chuan! If it wasn’t for the Lost Valley, I wouldn’t even know where I would have died! Even if there is only one kid in Ninggu, no one knows how capable he is in ghost towns. Even the clock tower can’t stop him. Gotta come back!"
Not even the clock tower could hold him.
The head of the group waved at Sister Qi, and Sister Qi ran along the lantern path like flying.
He turned his head and glanced at Lin Fan: "Not even the bell tower can hold him."
Lin Fan sighed unhurriedly: "He took the car and ran to the point where the guards would be chaotic..."
"The door may not open, right?" Li Xiang said, the door is locked by the leader's ability, and only he can unlock it.
"Then I don't know." Lin Fan raised his head and looked at the black mist in the sky, "When was the last time the leader's ability failed? Was it the time when the experimental subjects sent by the main city escaped? The one where the lunatic went into the basement…”
"Shut up!" The captain looked at him.
Lin Fan didn't say any more, just turned around slowly and walked back: "It's meaningless to stare at how and why he ran now, these things will happen sooner or later, from the day you know that Qi Hang still has remnants You should know that time can only go forward, and everything will go forward, not backwards."
"It doesn't matter if Lin Fan let go or not," Li Xiang whispered, "The trouble now is that Ning Gu is with Lian Chuan, we don't know Lian Chuan's intention."
"Do you also think," the leader glanced at him, "the poet really..."
"Poets have existed for a long time. There have been poets since the day of Lost Valley," Li Xiang thought for a while, "but the poet's form is doomed to be infiltrated and polluted, as long as the mental power is strong enough, so... it's hard to say."
"We are going to start early," said the team leader. "The main city will not tell us the truth, nor will it really cooperate with us. The ghost town is just their raw material warehouse."
"There are enough samples in the basement," Li Xiang said, "It's okay to start now, but it can only be a simple copy."
"That's enough," said the captain.
Ning Gu was lying on the ground, sound asleep for an hour.
Lian Chuan kept staring at him and found that he was really asleep.
I don't know if it's because his mental quality is too strong, or because his brain is too simple. When Ning Gu said that he dreamed of Betelgeuse, he didn't really believe it...
He picked up the cup and tapped it on the ground, ding.
Ning Gu snorted, raised his hand to scratch his face, but didn't move again.
ding ding.
Ding ding ding.
Believe it now.
After matching with Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse and Lian Chuan can be regarded as the same person, and it is reasonable for Ning Gu to sense that part of Betelgeuse is Betelgeuse.
From this point of view, Ning Gu's ability is more exaggerated than he imagined. Betelgeuse can be regarded as a powerful spiritual body, and it is even difficult to match, but Ning Gu can see it in his dream.
Lian Chuan felt that his guesses were a bit too idealistic, perhaps because he had experienced too many days and days, and every guess he made was beyond the scope of his efforts to control. Once these thoughts could be read, he might connect millions There is no hope of survival.
If the ability is fully activated, Ning Gu may...
"Hey!" Ning Gu yelled suddenly, and jumped up from the ground.
Lian Chuan watched him jump up and fall back to the ground. If he hadn't kept an eye on his surroundings and knew that there was nothing unusual, Ning Gu's move would have allowed him to jump directly from this hole to the opposite hole.
"Did you hear anything?" Ning Gu sat on the ground and looked at him with a blank face.
"No," Lian Chuan said, "What did you hear?"
"Someone called me." Ning Gu rubbed his eyes, then squeezed the space between his brows, "I thought you called me."
"Poet." Lian Chuan said.
Ning Gu frowned and thought for a few seconds, then suddenly jumped up, walked to the entrance of the cave, and shouted at the huge vertical hole in the middle: "Ah—"
Lian Chuan was taken aback by his movement, and staying with a species with a different brain and neural structure like a traveler would have shortened his life.
"What are you doing?" Lian Chuan looked at him.
"Respond." Ning Gu glanced at him, "You said, he called me, so I can't respond."
Lian Chuan didn't want to say too much: "You go back..."
"Ah—poet—" Ning Gu shouted again.
Lian Chuan picked up a cup and smashed it on his head: "Shut up."
"Lian Chuan," Ning Gu covered his head, "You just have to go crazy now, as long as you get out of the Valley of Lost..."
"I will only be crazier in the main city," Lian Chuan said.
"Once my ability is activated," Ning Gu pointed at him, "I'll be the first to beat you, just wait!"
"I'll help you."
When the voice sounded, Ning Gu rushed forward suddenly, feeling a little out of breath.
Ning Gu didn't see when Lian Chuan, who had been sitting against the wall, stopped in front of him. He only knew that Lian Chuan pushed him back: "Don't approach the entrance of the cave."
Ning Gu came back to his senses and took two steps back. He couldn't judge the direction of the voice, he could only confirm that it wasn't Lian Chuan's voice, nor the one from the top hat, or even the one from "Who are you".
And at this time, there was a sudden change in the vertical cave that had been so quiet outside that distant noises from various places in Lost Valley could be heard.
Countless small golden light particles appeared in the air, dancing chaotically in the air as if being blown by the wind or moved by something.
