"There are still many disgusting places in the ancient Yinduo. That huge country that was only fleeting in history left behind many unimaginable and unexplainable weird phenomena." Ninth Golden Ring replied calmly.
The two stopped talking for a while, and continued to move forward.
The temperature was getting colder and colder, and thin frost gradually appeared on the white metal handrails. The hot air exhaled by the two of them clearly formed two white lines, which slowly dissipated in the air.
"Be careful." Ninth Golden Ring suddenly said.
Garen glanced at him suspiciously, and then looked down the stairs. There was a policeman in black lying on the steps in front of him. His throat was pierced by a short black arrow, and he was half leaning against the wall, motionless. Blood water slowly flowed out from under the body, dripping into the endless darkness little by little.
"The temperature is too low, his body temperature dropped too fast." Ninth Jinhuan squatted down and examined the corpse, "However, the time of death should not exceed twenty minutes. It seems that the detectives are not far ahead."
"What are you going to do if you meet Detective Terry?" Garen asked behind him.
"If he is sensible, I will not kill him either." Ninth Golden Ring replied lightly.
The two walked over the police corpse, and the sound of crisp footsteps echoed in the silent space.
boom! !
There was a sudden gunshot in the darkness below. There were faint screams of people.
"Run!" someone yelled.
Ninth Golden Ring's complexion changed, and he sped up and ran down. Garen hesitated for a moment, then trotted along.
After a while, a group of detectives from the tower suddenly appeared on the stairs at the bottom of the front. They stood on the steps in shock and looked down.
Garen followed their line of sight and looked forward. The steps in front of him were like thin flaps, flipping to reveal the dark space below, and they were very regular. One of every five steps is a normal step, and all the rest of the steps are constantly flipping rhythmically.
Visitors must jump forward, otherwise, once they step on the overturned steps, they will immediately fall down, and their bodies will be stuck in the middle of the steps, crushed and crushed by the overturned stone steps.
One of Detective Terry's shoes had been snapped in two. He, Bai Ying and the agency expert stood behind, and a young male policeman was protecting Miss Si Lan.
Apparently, the sheriff refused to follow the arrangement because he wanted to mobilize the commanding police force, but Si Lan took the initiative to come down with the detective.
The five detectives also heard footsteps behind them. Looking up, he actually saw Garen and a man in a black cloak walking down slowly, especially the man with a black mask and golden earrings engraved with the number 9.
"It's from the Golden Ring!" Bai Ying quickly drew out his gun and pointed it at the ninth Golden Ring.
"Don't be nervous." Ninth Jinhuan's face remained unchanged, and he looked at the people in front of him. "I think our purpose should be the same. It's all about finding out what's the secret of this underground entrance, right?"
"What do you mean?" the detective asked sullenly.
"Of course it's cooperation. You help me explore this cave, and I can personally provide you with a lot of precious information. Don't worry, it will be over soon." Ninth Golden Ring's eyes were unusually calm, without any waves.
Detective Terry pondered for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Okay, I promise you." He actually agreed.
The rest of the people showed expressions of disbelief, and even Garen behind him was a little stunned.
"The Ninth Golden Ring is rumored to be a person who never breaks his promise. I believe what you say." Tari Mercury ignored the expressions of the others and said directly to the Ninth Golden Ring.
"You know me quite well."
"Naturally."
"Then let's move on." Ninth Golden Ring smiled, and suddenly slapped the left wall lightly.
Boom.
The turning movement of the steps in front stopped abruptly and completely stopped.
"Okay, move on."
He led Garen straight to the front. When passing through the five-person team, Bai Ying and Silan looked extremely nervous. When they saw Garen following behind, they were obviously angry.
Garen smiled wryly at the two of them, shrugged helplessly, and happened to walk with everyone.
The Ninth Golden Ring in front didn't care at all. He walked forward at a leisurely pace, and after a while, he could only see the orange torch in his hand.
"How about we go back now?" Garen suggested in a low voice.
"I can't run. The Ninth Golden Ring is very fast and silent. We can't run." Detective Tari said calmly, "Go, follow."
He was the first to keep up, and the others behind him tried each other, but they also had to follow.
Garen and Bai Ying walked together, and whispered to a few people about the situation above, and the atmosphere in the team suddenly became much heavier.
"The current situation is very troublesome. Fortunately, this time we met the Ninth Golden Ring, a rather special existence in the entire Golden Ring organization. It would be completely troublesome to change the key to someone else." Miss Si Lan analyzed in a low voice. "I just don't know what sir thinks."
"Don't worry about it so much, Mr. will never make mistakes, everyone will follow." Bai Ying frowned.
The agency expert was supported by the little policeman, and now he was shivering from the cold, unable to speak at all. The two of them hugged the torch to keep warm, but it didn't help.
But being coerced by Jin Huan at this time, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only grit his teeth and continue walking.
The next group of people did not know how long they walked. The Ninth Golden Ring in front of it patted on the wall from time to time, as if it was very familiar with this place, and it didn't come across any traps along the way. Soon, the following finally saw the bottom.
At the end of the stairs, there is a small circular open space. On the black open space are three gray leather sofas. The sofas form a triangle, and the surface is covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost. Not far from the clearing was a dark fireplace, and the black charcoal inside was also covered with a layer of hoarfrost.
In addition, there is a bookshelf, which is empty and has nothing on it.
When reaching the last step, the Ninth Golden Ring suddenly stopped and stood on the steps without going down.
He frowned, and slowly stretched out his right hand, which had been in the cloak, with a black object between his fingers, and flicked it lightly.
The black thing immediately flew out and landed in the black open space ahead.
Chi Chi Chi Chi! ! !
A series of dense rain of arrows blasted out from both sides, shooting the black object into pieces, and a large number of short black arrows plunged into the ground densely.
A black object protruded from the Ninth Golden Ring again, and there was another rain of arrows.
After doing this three times in a row, the holes in the walls on both sides were finally automatically covered, and there was no more movement.
The people behind were stunned. There were estimated to be thousands of short arrows shot back and forth, and there was a hint of purple at the tip of each of them.
"The short arrow is finished."
The Ninth Golden Ring said calmly, squatting down, lifted the cloak, actually grabbed a little white mouse with his left hand, and gently placed the little white mouse on the black ground.
The mouse squeaked a few times and quickly crawled towards the sofa.
After running a few steps, the mouse suddenly sank and sank slowly to the ground. The rat squeaked frantically, but it didn't help. Suddenly a black thread directly hoisted it up, and flew back to the embrace of Ninth Golden Ring.
There is a very thin black thread tied to the mouse's tail, which can't be seen unless you look carefully.
Ninth Golden Ring gently comforted the little white mouse and stood up.
"In front is the Swamp of Malice, one of the organs in Ancient Yinduo to punish thieves. Only thieves and cowards with evil intentions will be trapped in the swamp."
"What is your purpose?" Detective Terry asked in a low voice.
"Of course it is that one." Ninth Golden Ring strode down the steps without looking back.
"Wait!!" The mechanism expert was about to stop it, but was shocked to see the Ninth Golden Ring standing firmly on the black ground. I have already walked to the three sofas in a few steps.
Garen stood in the line with an uncertain expression.
The moment Ninth Golden Ring walked to the sofa just now, he suddenly felt a faint warm current slowly seeping into his body from the skin all over his body. It was potential, a very small amount of potential.
Snapped.
Ninth Golden Ring stood in the middle of the sofa, and for some reason, there was a slow cracking sound on the black soil.
On the ground in front of the fireplace, a gray-white stone pillar platform unexpectedly rose slowly.
The stone pillar platform is cylindrical, surrounded by four owl sculptures, and there is actually a black-shell brick book on the platform.
Finally, there was a wave of fluctuation in the eyes of the Ninth Golden Ring. He strode towards the gray-white stone platform and reached out to grab the black book.
boom!
There was a gunshot, and a smoking hole suddenly appeared on the ground under his feet.
The Ninth Golden Ring stopped in place and turned to look at the crowd.
"What are you doing?"
Bai Ying stood in front of Detective Quicksilver in the tower with his gun raised, his expression serious. But it wasn't him who spoke.
The detective stared at the Ninth Golden Ring calmly.
"If I'm not mistaken, that book is your ultimate goal, right?"
"Indeed." The other party nodded readily, "I am very grateful that you found this underground entrance for us. But the way of thanking you is that I let you off this time. I was originally in a hostile position, so I should kill you directly to solve the problem for the organization. Trouble. You should understand."
"You can't kill us." The detective smiled. "The mechanism here is not just for fun. If I guessed correctly, that book is the legendary silent book. Such a treasure gave you the golden ring, just like a lion growing wings, the consequences would be disastrous."
"This book is not for the organization." The Ninth Golden Ring smiled, and suddenly rushed forward, swung abruptly from side to side, grabbed the book and jumped on the spot. Like a black bat, it flew up and hung on the side of the stairs above, and turned over and climbed onto a stone ladder above everyone's heads.
"Don't move!" Detective Tali suddenly stopped the white eagle who was about to move.
At this time, dense black thorns suddenly protruded from the ground of the black soil, like a forest of thorns, and the sofa was suddenly pierced with countless holes. Bai Ying was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The detective then looked at the agency expert on the side.
