After all the fish skeletons were put on, the huge and dilapidated door began to creak.
It was extremely unpleasant and harsh. When the door was opened, a blinding light came out from the other side.
Qian Jiujiu shouted, "Everyone, disperse."
The guards had eaten a lot of sashimi, and their internal energy was full. Their reaction speed was also fast, and they all obediently dispersed quickly.
Those soldiers also learned from the last lesson and no longer counted on Bai Lie, but listened to Qian Jiujiu's orders. Anyway, let's disperse first.
Sure enough, as soon as everyone moved aside, they saw many arrows shot out from the gate at a rapid speed. They were all white and very difficult to spot under the light.
Fortunately, Qian Jiujiu has good eyesight, otherwise, many people would have died in this wave.
After the door was fully opened, the arrows gradually stopped appearing.
Donglin was the first to rush in. After finding that nothing was wrong, everyone walked towards the door.
In fact, many guards did not want to leave here. After all, the fish here were delicious and eating them could improve one’s strength. It was definitely a good thing.
Many people secretly hid some fish skeletons in their arms.
Qian Jiujiu naturally saw it, but she didn't say much. After all, it was a rare and good thing, and she herself had kept quite a few of them privately!
After the gate opened, they saw that there were actually large roads inside. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other.
This is a cement road and it is very spacious. The houses here are also built with cement.
If they were not sure that they had not traveled through time, Qian Jiujiu would have felt like he had returned to the modern era. Who on earth built such an underground city here
What was the purpose of building this underground city? With curiosity in mind, a group of people walked in.
Soon a soldier was startled: "Well, there are people in there."
Sure enough, I saw a figure standing in the house. How could a person survive for a long time in such a dark place
So this probably isn't a person, Qian Jiujiu went forward to take a look out of curiosity. She found that this was a puppet, but it was made too realistically.
Beibei blinked his eyes: "It turned out to be a dummy. I was really shocked!"
Qian Jiujiu was carefully examining the dummy in front of him: "Mu Yexiao, have you noticed that there is something wrong with this dummy in front of you?"
Mu Yexiao was also staring at the dummy closely. If the person in front of him hadn’t been motionless, he would have thought it was a real person.
Yes, the problem lies here.
"This puppet is so lifelike. Except for not moving, it looks exactly like a real person. No wonder the soldier made a mistake just now."
"Your Majesty, Princess, there is one here too. And they seem to be a family!"
Another soldier discovered it. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao walked over and saw that it was indeed a family of five.
Grandparents, parents, and a little boy. The family looks like a happy family of five, having dinner.
Everyone's face was still filled with a smile as they were about to have their meal.
What's going on? Qian Jiujiu was very confused. Could anyone really make a doll so realistic
Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but move closer to take a look. Even the skin tissue on the human face was made very well, and looked exactly like a real person.
Just as I turned to the back and was about to check what was going on, I heard Beibei screaming, "Mom, Mom."
"Come and see why there is a line on the backs of these people. It looks like they were sewn together with needles."
Qian Jiujiu was stunned, and quickly came to the ground where Beibei was, looking behind the puppets.
Sure enough, there was the same thing as Beibei said, which seemed to be sewn together with needles and thread. However, these are dolls, so it doesn’t seem strange to have sewing needles.
"Mom, why are their stitches all behind their backs? They're all done, can't they just cover them up with clothes?"
Qian Jiujiu reached out and touched the puppets in front of him, but as soon as they touched them, the puppets instantly suffocated, leaving only the last layer of skin.
Beibei was a little surprised, and then a little horrified: "Mom, these look like real leather."
Real leather? In other words, these are not puppets, but real people. The guards and soldiers around him felt numb after hearing this.
Who killed all five members of this family, took out their internal organs and other things, made them into dolls and placed them here
Isn't that too scary? That puppet standing by the window just now, isn't it also a real person? What kind of technology can be used to do that
Thinking of this, everyone felt extremely frightened.
Qian Jiujiu frowned and spoke.
"This place is extremely evil. It's best not to act alone. Look for any clues nearby."
"It's better to find out where the center of this city is."
They had to leave here and definitely find the center of the city. Qian Jiujiu was completely confused, they were here to find treasure, but it seemed like people were dying at every level.
Apart from the useful value of fish bones, it seems that there is no other useful value.
So Qian Jiujiu began to doubt the truth of the matter. Was there a treasure here? Or was there something else
The guards have already separated into groups of three or four and are preparing to measure how big the city is and how many so-called puppets there are.
Ever since Qian Jiujiu entered here, she has felt a little uneasy. She always feels that this place is full of ghosts and makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Mu Yexiao hummed and said, "Then let's wait outside the door and see what the guards say when they come back."
After the guards went out, they soon discovered something was wrong. They walked in all directions, but soon returned to their original place.
The most important thing is that every house here has dolls, some for a family, and some for a single person.
Some people even saw a family of more than a dozen people, including men, women, old and young.
The guards felt a chill down their spines when they thought that these were once real people but had been hollowed out and made into this state.
They thought they were trapped in this city and hurried back to report. However, only a small number of people were able to return.
"Princess, Princess, something bad has happened. There is something strange in this city. We went to the east, and there are people in every house there."
"Some people were arguing. If it weren't for the silence, it would have looked like a real city."
If these dolls are regarded as human beings, then it can really be said that this is a silent city.
These people should have been real people back then, but they were brutally murdered and turned into puppets.
Qian Jiujiu looked at these people with a hint of sympathy in his eyes. This place was made entirely of cement, and it was impossible to even bury these people.
Dogs are really vicious.
Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other and said, "Go clean up a few houses. Everyone who comes back should gather here. Don't act alone."
"Also, go and move all the puppets nearby here, find a place, and burn them all together."
Since we can't rest in peace here, let's just burn it all down. At least we'll be relieved.
The guards dared not disobey Qian Jiujiu's words, although they were a little scared. These were real people before, but it was really pitiful to see them become like this.
The numerous guards could only go and move the people obediently.
Qian Jiujiu instructed Bei Bei to stay close to Jiang Hu before going to the highest place in the city with Mu Yexiao to check the situation.
As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see. But when the two of them found the tallest building, climbed up, and looked down, they were instantly speechless.
It turns out that when you look down from above, you can't see anything, just a vast expanse of white.
Mu Yexiao sighed: "Don't doubt it, there must be some formation here, but we just can't find it now."
In terms of formations, Qian Jiujiu is better than Mu Yexiao! He patted Mu Yexiao on the shoulder and said, "That's all thanks to you."
When the two returned to where they were just now, they could see the guards were in a panic.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Seeing the two people coming back, everyone felt more confident and walked over. In the end, it was Donglin who told the whole story.
"My Lord, you are back. You may not know that we were cleaning up the puppets around here after you and the princess left just now."
"But these puppets can move. They can move, and they have run quite a few."
The puppet can move? Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other. This is too magical. Could it be that they made a mistake in judgment
"Is there anyone else here? It's possible that they are pretending to be puppets."
When the guards heard this, they felt relieved, as long as the other party was still a human being.
Qian Jiujiu glanced at Bai Lie. Could it be that she had always underestimated Bai Lie, and this guy had already spread the news
Were those people just so quick? Or had they found another hole to get in
After all, this place is so big, it is normal to have other entrances.
"If you have nothing else to do, then clean up all these dolls and burn them together."
Speaking of burning the puppets, there was actually no wood or anything like that here. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao only then noticed it.
Everything here is made of cement. Although it looks a bit shabby, it still stands tall here.
I don't know how the people who built it designed it.
Without wood, it would be very difficult to burn all these dolls. And without wood, they couldn't cook.
Thinking this way, this is the most dangerous place, but there is no clue to leave this city.
Mu Yexiao frowned: "What should I do now?"
