Without the sleep chamber, Lian Chuan would not be able to recover after a short sleep, and the black circle around his neck with Lin Fan's ability would have no effect, but if the limiter on the back of his neck is not removed, he will be like A fully charged machine.
Because he couldn't find the direction to crack the code on the small metal bead, Lian Chuan fell asleep. Since he woke up, Ning Gu has been standing outside Crazy Uncle's hut for more than an hour.
Ning Gu probably didn't plan to let him go to the basement to find Uncle Crazy, so he was eager to find a way to control his abilities.
It doesn't seem easy.
Lian Chuan could see from the crack of the door that he had been holding his left hand up, the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger pointing to the sky in turn, and he gave thumbs up many times, but to no avail.
Lian Chuan wanted to remind him which finger should not be the focus... but he didn't say anything after thinking about it. After all, the longer Ning Gu struggled, the more time he had to recover.
Two hours later, Ning Gu returned to the house with his arms swinging, his face full of anger.
Lian Chuan closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
"Stop pretending," Ning Gu said, "You can hear everyone who shelters you yelling, but you still don't wake up when I make such a big noise?"
"The shelter really can't hear it, it's too far away." Lian Chuan opened his eyes.
"If it's really like what you said," Ning Gu still looked angry, "I know why my parents used me as a safe. Did they know from the beginning that I couldn't control my abilities at all?"
"I don't know." Lian Chuan said.
"Forget it," Ning Gu sat down on the table, took out the small metal bead, and looked down, "I'll go after a short rest, some things still can't be overthought, the more you feel ready, the less The law is ready."
"Lin Fan has many books," Lian Chuan said, "he may know how to solve this code."
"I can't trust them," Ning Gu said, "All three of them are lying to me."
Lian Chuan didn't speak, he was no stranger to this feeling.
"Actually, I don't hate them," Ning Gu looked at Xiaozhu, "I thought about it, if you really just treat me as a container, maybe you don't need to let me grow up like a person, even though I'm not allowed to go to the main city , but I have elders, friends, and enemies here, and I have done a lot of troubles and fights, just like all travelers."
"En." Lian Chuan responded.
"It's just that they have their own paths to go, so they chose to hide something... They are all true travelers, they can fight side by side, and they can also go their separate ways." Ning Gu was silent for a while after finishing speaking, "Then I am the same, I am also a true traveler."
"What are your plans?" Lian Chuan asked.
"I want to find out all the things that no one has given me an answer for," Ning Gu said, "Now that no one is stopping me, I can go wherever I want and do whatever I want."
If you want to go to the basement, go to the basement.
… not quite.
It took a whole day for Ning Gu to stand outside Tongwan again.
Lian Chuan wants to follow him. Given the current situation where he can't arouse even the uncontrollable ability, not to mention the control ability, it is really impossible to get rid of Lian Chuan, so he can only stay in the hut for one more day, so that Lian Chuan can recover for one more day .
"Will they still be in the basement?" Ning Gu walked into the dense fog where the sound of lightning crackling was constantly heard.
The only advantage now is that the cold light bottle is no longer the only light source, and the vicinity of the electric light is brighter than the cold light bottle, although it is still foggy.
"Is there any place to transfer those people?" Lian Chuan asked.
"I don't know," Ning Gu said, "I have been here for twenty-two years, and I only found one basement, and I dare not go further afield."
"Don't worry too much about Nail," Lian Chuan said, "If he's among those people, Uncle Crazy will know."
"Crazy Uncle may not be credible," Ning Gu said, "If he really has experienced more than one generation of the main city... he must be much more cunning than the leader and the others."
The aborigines are no longer nearby, and Lian Chuan can't feel any information about the aborigines at all.
Where did they hide? What else is in this thick fog
"Why didn't you kill the old ghost that day?" Ning Gu looked down at his feet, "It's okay for Betelgeuse to kill the old ghost, right?"
"It's useful to keep him, he knows a lot of things," Lian Chuan said, "and..."
"And what?" Ning Gu turned to look at him.
"After all, he is also a traveler who came from the main city with the group leader," Lian Chuan said, "as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, Li Xiang is still telling him to run."
Ning Gu sighed lightly: "Friends of life and death."
The cracks surrounding the basement were still the same as before, and the road was blocked like a lightning wall. They walked around to the gap where the old ghost was rescued by the aborigines that day.
Originally, I thought that the gap might have been occupied by lightning again, and I needed to find a place to enter again, but I didn't expect to see a huge piece of black iron placed on the crack before I reached the position.
The electric light blocked by the black iron flashed from both sides, leaving a space in the middle that could pass two or three people.
Ning Gu jumped over the gap without hesitation.
When he landed, he stepped on something and there was a clicking sound.
He lowered his head and saw a small iron box that had been trampled flat.
This is a very common thing in ghost towns, used to hold all kinds of gadgets, and many travelers have it.
He picked up the box, opened it, and saw that there was only a small ring inside.
"This is..." Ning Gu took out the ring and raised it in front of his eyes, "This is a wedding gift that Li Xiang made for several travelers..."
"Someone." Lian Chuan suddenly said beside him.
When Ning Gu heard these two words, he didn't wait until Lian Chuan's neck tightened when he suddenly pulled him away.
Without thinking too much, he subconsciously leaned forward and raised his left hand.
Just when he could see the dense fog and turbulent flow rolled up by the air waves against the wind in front of him, the golden light from his fingertips had spread over.
Someone in the wind let out a low snort, as if being hit.
Ning Gu was shocked and maintained the previous posture of leaning forward, and even raised his left hand in the air without taking it back.
"What did I do?" he whispered.
Lian Chuan glanced at him, didn't speak, and rushed forward.
The turbulence had disappeared, and a figure launched a second attack from the other side of the fog.
Lian Chuan turned sideways in the air, and before the attack came, he was in front of this man, pressing his fingers on his throat.
"Uh..." the man made a difficult and broken voice.
"Crazy Uncle?" Ning Gu's surprised voice came from behind.
Lian Chuan let go.
"Ning Gu?" Crazy Uncle was also a little surprised, "It was you just now?"
"Yes." Ning Gu walked over.
"It's really you," the crazy uncle took two steps back, looking him up and down, "You still..."
"What else?" Ning Gu stared at him.
"What are you doing here!" Crazy Uncle came back to his senses, "Who is this person?"
"Lian Chuan," Ning Gu said, "Don't you know the cold-blooded and ruthless hyena in the main city?"
Crazy Uncle took a look at Lian Chuan: "I haven't seen it again. I haven't been back to the main city since I came to the ghost town."
Ning Gu narrowed his eyes, he couldn't judge the truth of what Uncle Crazy said.
"Why is this in your place?" Uncle Crazy saw the small iron box in his hand and reached out to grab it, "It's made of iron."
Lian Chuan grabbed his hand before reaching halfway.
Lian Chuan took the small iron box from Ning Gu, put it in his hand, and let go of his hand.
"Who is Tiepi?" Ning Gu asked.
Crazy Uncle opened the tin box and took a look, then closed it and put it in his pocket, then looked back towards the basement: "A traveler in there has long since disappeared."
"Are those people still there?" Ning Gu became a little anxious when he heard that, "Are you all right? Have you seen the nail?"
"I'm transferring them." Crazy Uncle frowned, turned and walked towards the basement, and waved his hands, "You guys go, the basement has been destroyed."
"Did you?" Ning Gu's voice sank, "see the nail."
Lian Chuan saw the golden light shining from Ning Gu's fingertips.
"Ning Gu." He called Ning Gu.
Crazy Uncle also turned his head, and his eyes fell on Ning Gu's hand.
Ning Gu slowly raised his hands above his head: "Where is the nail?"
Crazy Uncle sighed after a while: "I dragged him there, he can't wake up now."
"Take me there." Ning Gu said.
"Drag a few people for me," said the crazy uncle, "I'll take you there."
"Take me there now." Ning Gu said.
"The basement is melting," the crazy uncle looked at him. "If you don't get everyone away, they will all be gone."
The temperature on the ground was about the same as before, except that it was no longer ice-cold, but when we approached the basement, we could feel the heat wave coming towards us.
"This is... what's wrong?" Ning Gu jumped off the collapsed basement with Uncle Crazy.
"It's just going back and forth," said the crazy uncle, "it's nothing strange, just move faster."
Repeatedly.
Ning Gu didn't quite understand, but he couldn't care less about asking now.
There are still many fallen on the ground in the basement, looking like travelers who are asleep.
"Take only the travelers," said the crazy uncle, "those who are infected can't live."
Infected is someone who looks like a traveler but has gray skin and eyes.
"What's infected?" Ning Gu dragged the two travelers and held them to Lian Chuan on the upper floor. Lian Chuan dragged the two travelers by their collars and disappeared in an instant.
"The raw materials for the experimental subjects brought back from the main city are the aborigines." Uncle Crazy dragged the two travelers panting, "All along, the experimental subjects they sent will self-destruct when the time comes, no matter whether the experiment can be completed or not... But that experimental body didn't self-destruct, I don't know if it was a mistake, or it was the arrangement of the main city, in short, it was like a virus, infecting the aborigines... those infected will go crazy, and then dissolve... Don't stand still!"
Ning Gu hurriedly dragged two more travelers: "Travelers will also be infected?"
"The infected aborigines are the medium." Uncle Crazy looked at him. "When you went to Tongwan several times, I thought you would be infected too... It's a fortune teller."
"You already knew?" Ning Gu stopped, "You didn't tell me?"
"I just want to be a bystander." Crazy Uncle said.
"Watching? Watching what? Watching me die?" Ning Gu couldn't believe it, "Old lunatic, I treat you well, help you get food, help you grab supplies, and you treat me like this?"
"What can I do," said Crazy Uncle, "I told you not to go to the main city and you didn't listen, and I told you not to go to Tongwan, would you listen? The bullies in the ghost town can't even control the leader..."
Ning Gu was full of questions and wanted to ask, but the crazy uncle was panting badly, dragging people to chew and chew, and he didn't know if it was real or pretending, so he had to get everyone out first.
With Lian Chuan around, the action was much faster. People dragged it out of the basement, handed it over to Lian Chuan, and dragged it to the other side of the crack.
When Ning Gu dragged the last two travelers out, he didn't see Lian Chuan. He dragged them to the side of the black iron, and saw Lian Chuan standing on the other side of the black iron.
"Take it." After Ning Gu finished speaking, he glanced at him and was stunned.
On the other side of the electric fire crack, there is a huge off-white ball.
"Old ghost?" He suddenly became nervous and jumped over.
"It's okay," Lian Chuan stopped him, "he has no attack power now."
"He's here to lead the way," the crazy uncle dragged the traveler out, "to help transport people there."
Ning Gu looked at the old ghost.
The old ghost only had one face exposed outside, and his body was completely wrapped in a group of aborigines hugging each other tightly. It looked very strange, like some kind of symbiont with the aborigines.
"That's all," said the crazy uncle, "everything has been rescued."
Lian Chuan suddenly turned his head and looked around, and when he met Ning Gu's eyes, he whispered: "There are many aborigines."
The old ghost opened his mouth and let out a low guttural sound.
A few aborigines rushed out of the black mist, grabbed the travelers lying on the ground, and rushed into the black mist again, and then more aborigines rushed out, dragging the travelers on the ground.
"If you want to see the nails," Crazy Uncle looked at Ning Gu, "just follow."
The direction from which the aborigines dragged away the travelers was not the depths of the Bay of Tongues, but farther afield.
There is nothing there, Ning Gu has always felt that the end is the border, but it seems that it will never be reached.
He was a little anxious, the crazy uncle was running beside him like an old man, although most of the time he didn't think that the crazy uncle was old, but now he felt that the crazy uncle was really old...
If there were only him and Lian Chuan, he might have let Lian Chuan drag him away, but Lian Chuan had already dragged a bunch of people, and it was impossible for him to drag himself and Uncle Crazy.
"I'll carry you," Ning Gu said, "You can't run anymore."
Uncle Crazy didn't even pause for a second, he just jumped onto his back, strangled his arm around his neck, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Hey..."
Ning Gu was speechless, he could only hold his arm and continue to run forward.
"How old are you?" he asked while running, "Are you 70?"
Crazy Uncle laughed from behind: "Do I look so young?"
"How old is that?" Ning Gu was stunned.
"I can't remember clearly," Crazy Uncle stopped laughing, with some emotion in his tone, "Too old to remember..."
"Probably?" Ning Gu asked.
"One or two hundred..." Crazy Uncle said.
"Fart you." Ning Gu said.
"Don't believe me?" Crazy Uncle laughed happily again, "Have you ever seen a traveler die?"
"I've seen it." Ning Gu said.
"Have you seen this old man?" The crazy uncle asked again.
Ning Gu was stunned.
Lian Chuan, who had been silent all this time, also turned his face away.
"How long has the traveler been driven to the ghost town?" Crazy Uncle said, "The old men you saw when you were young, what are they like now?"
Still the same.
The land king was an old profiteer when he was young, and he is still an old profiteer now.
Uncle Crazy was an old lunatic when he was young, and he is still an old lunatic now...
"No one can see the beginning, and no one can see the end..." Crazy Uncle seemed to be talking to himself.
The big gray ball wrapped around the old ghost kept rolling forward, and the aborigines who dragged the traveler also kept running forward.
Ning Gu didn't know how far away, and didn't have the time to think about it.
His mind was full of the words of the crazy uncle.
Questions that he had never thought about, and questions that no one had ever brought up.
All men are mortal, and the traveler cares little about life or death.
But everyone's definition of death does not seem to take old age into account.
Maybe from the day they were born, they knew that destruction was not far away, and they died before they had time to die.
"Uncle Crazy." Ning Gu's voice was very low.
"Huh?" Crazy Uncle responded.
"Where are you from?" Ning Gu asked.
