"No way." The expert turned pale with cold, and shook his head, "It's because I'm slow, and the force required to trigger this mechanism is a bit higher." He looked down at the stone bricks under his feet.
"Kelly is gone!!" Miss Si Lan suddenly said urgently.
"It doesn't matter, no matter which one of them gets the book, Mr. Kelly is unlikely to be in danger. They all need Kelly to verify the authenticity." The detective shook his head.
"Which one?" Bai Ying put down his gun.
"Behind us, behind the Ninth Golden Ring, people have been following people." Detective Tali whispered, "Go, go up, the temperature here is too low, we can't last long."
"Then what you said to Ninth Golden Ring just now was also intentional?"
"Of course. It's a pity that the ninth shot is a bit late." A smile appeared on the detective's face.
***************
On the spiral steps, among the circles of stone steps, two black shadows ran and chased one after the other.
A black figure in front of him held a person between his arms, and it was Garen in black.
The person leading him to run quickly was the Ninth Golden Ring who had left earlier, and the cloak fluttered behind him like a black cloud floating upwards rapidly. The cloak almost completely covered Garen in it.
boom!
A bullet hole suddenly appeared on the stone brick in front of the Ninth Golden Ring, and the black figure at the back was holding two double guns, jumped over the handrail a few times and landed directly in front of the Ninth Golden Ring.
"I'm guessing right. Ninth, you really want to swallow the silent book." The man stood in front with a sneer, his male face slightly lowered, staring at the two of them with a sneer.
"It's you." Ninth Golden Ring slowly put Garen down. "The organization is so worried about me and sent you to monitor. It's a pity. I didn't want to kill people."
"We have worked together for many years, and I didn't want to kill you at first, but it's a pity that you took the initiative to betray." The golden ring on the man's left ear, the number is 8, which is actually one higher than the ninth golden ring.
The two sneered at the same time, stopped talking, and rushed together.
There was no obvious sound, the two entangled and fought together, like two pieces of black cloth rotating and flowing with each other, only the hissing sound of the cloth rubbing against each other. Constantly moving and jumping quickly on the stairs.
Garen stood on the stairs at the back, watching the two men fight for their lives without blinking.
The reason why he was willing to be held hostage by the Ninth Golden Ring just now was because he wanted to feel the source of potential aura up close. Sure enough, he was sure that the source of potential was the black-shell book.
And like the black jade plate, it is of the type that leaks slowly, rather than being sucked up all at once.
"Should we wait until they decide the winner and then grab the book, or leave here immediately and wait for one of them to come to the door with the book for identification?" Garen was a little vacillating.
If you wait for the other party to come to him with a book for identification, if Jin Huan has other methods to identify the authenticity, then this may not be possible. And if it is to snatch the book directly by hand.
He didn't want to get too involved in the affairs of the Golden Ring organization. Pretending to be Mr. Kelly was just to find doomed antiques. This way of robbing him would put himself in danger, especially since Jinhuan already knew that his identity was Gallon. In this way, it is likely to involve the family.
"Next!" Suddenly a hurried voice came, and before Garen had time to respond, Gu saw the silent book being thrown at him head-on.
He hurriedly caught the book in a hurry. Suddenly, a faint warm current flowed into his body from the book, and the potential points in his field of vision began to grow slowly and steadily.
"Let's put the book with you first, no matter who we win, we will have to ask you for identification!" The voice of the Ninth Golden Ring came over.
After speaking, the two of them simply ignored Garen and went straight down, falling to the lower third floor after a while.
"It seems that we have to stay here for the time being."
Garen was holding the book. The cover of The Book of Silence was pitch black, with a white eye drawn in the middle. He gently turned the pages of the book, and the outer shell was actually made of stone.
Turning to the first page, Garen's pupils shrank suddenly.
There was a picture drawn on the black pages. On the screen is a person, a naked man.
The strange thing is that the body of a maggot is connected to the back of this person's head, like a long milky white hose, and one head is shared by one person and one worm. Behind him, the maggot's body was white and stretched all the way to the thigh, and it was still slowly wriggling.
"Squirming?" Garen closed his eyes and shook his head, then opened his eyes again, and the sense of movement on the screen disappeared immediately.
The green eyes of this weird man stared at him closely, as if he was still alive. Faintly gives people a sense of vertigo.
Garen managed to regain his composure, and was about to continue turning backwards when suddenly a dark shadow flashed in front of him.
"Give it to me!" A strong force grabbed the silent book, trying to snatch it away. Suddenly, another black figure rushed over, grabbing the Book of Silence with one hand and exerting force at the same time.
Stunned, Garen unconsciously exerted force on his hand, and the book was suddenly torn apart.
"I can't get it, and you don't want to get it either!!" The Ninth Golden Ring growled weakly.
The Book of Silence was completely shattered under the force of the three of them in an instant, and it scattered into countless pages and flew up. The Ninth Golden Ring held a dagger in his hand, and shredded all the pages with a few blows of his left hand. Yang, a flame suddenly ignited in the air. Immediately, all the fragments of the book were ignited.
"Number 9, you are crazy!!" Eighth Jinhuan wanted to stop it, but he was still a step too late, and just punched Ninth against the wall and slowly slid down.
Garen didn't want to get involved in the internal struggle of the Golden Ring, but felt a little sorry for the Book of Silence being torn up and burned. But since the first time can be found, it is also possible to find the second time.
Although he was sorry, he still took two steps back, watched the two of them huddle together again, and quickly left the stairs.
"It's really a mess." Garen was speechless, "But it's also a little rewarding. I was able to find the picture I traveled through. If the content in that book is true, then I should be considered lucky to survive. Specific Time, and enough luck."
Things had developed to this point, and the changes were beyond anyone's expectations. Garen's original intention was no longer there, and the doomed antiques were not collected, but he had a grudge with the Tenth Golden Ring.
He looked at Ninth Jinhuan and Eighth Jinhuan again. Eighth Jinhuan was standing on the steps with an extremely ugly expression on his face. On the stairs below, the Ninth Golden Ring held a black stone in his hand, which turned out to be the white eye on the cover of the Book of Silence.
"Give me the things!" Eighth said gloomyly, reaching out his hand.
"This is a legendary rune with mysterious power! Do you think I will give it to you?" Ninth sneered. "I've been planning for so long, and finally got it."
Both of them had faint blood stains on their bodies, the eighth one was fine, and the ninth Jin Huan was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, obviously suffering from internal injuries.
Garen looked at the center of the contention between the two, and suddenly his heart moved. He felt that the potential in the air had not disappeared with the smashing and burning of the books.
"Could it be that stone that is working?" His eyes slowly fell on the white eye stone that the two were fighting for.
"That book only records some cult myths and legends. The real value is this stone. Do you think I don't know?" Ninth Golden Ring sneered. "Although I don't know what this thing does, but once it's in my hands...don't even think about taking it out!"
Gallon knew. If you don't leave at this time, you may be completely involved in the internal struggle of the Golden Ring. The more you know, the more troublesome you will be. While the two of them were talking, he quietly and slowly moved back, slowly retreating up the stairs.
Although the doom antique is very precious, if he is really involved in the internal struggle of the Golden Ring, then he will be in trouble. After all, he didn't hide his identity like he did when he was fighting with the Tenth Golden Ring at this time.
Unexpectedly, he hadn't taken a few steps just now, when the ninth golden ring at the bottom moved instantly, his body moved suddenly, turned into a black shadow and rushed towards the upper stairs. Behind him, the eighth golden ring hurriedly followed, and the two of them flew past Garen.
Ninth's face turned pale, and it was obvious that he was about to fail.
Garen narrowed his eyes. To be honest, he still has a good impression of the Ninth Golden Ring. From the beginning to the end, this person never really hurt him, but has been protecting him since entering the cave.
At this moment, when Eighth passed Garen, he was a little bigger, blocked by Garen's size, and his speed suddenly slowed down a beat.
"Go away!!" Eighth was furious, and slapped Garen with a smooth hand. His five fingers turned blue, obviously he had practiced some kind of highly poisonous kung fu, when he slapped him, a pungent stench rushed towards him.
Although Garen's speed was not as fast as theirs, he was completely able to stop him at such a short distance. He has never really wanted to do anything, because he doesn't want to cause trouble and get involved in the internal struggle of the Golden Ring. But now the other party obviously wanted to slap him to death. There was a fire in my heart immediately.
"You're looking for death!" He growled, raised his right arm and grabbed it forward.
hiss.
The arm instantly swelled up, fully doubling in size. The blue tendons and muscles were tangled and knotted, and they swelled to a diameter of half a meter, which did not look like a human hand at all.
Grab it with one palm, and meet the eighth blue palm head-on. Contrast like a bear's paw and a child's palm.
Boom! !
The two hit it off. Eighth Jinhuan actually used the other hand to firmly grab Ninth and then used his strength to flick it back, only to be buffered.
The Ninth Golden Ring was thrown directly to Garen's side.
"Something for you! Let's go!!" Ninth Golden Ring collided with Gallon, stretched his hand into Gallon's arms as if stuffing something, then pushed him violently and yelled, but fell down the stairs himself.
"You!" Garen was startled. The Ninth Golden Ring didn't give him anything at all, and he obviously wanted to mislead the Eighth Golden Ring by shouting that. Looking up, the Eighth Jinhuan really had a gloomy expression, rushing towards him like a black cloud.
"He didn't give me anything!!" Garen yelled.
"I'll know if I kill you!" Eighth sneered.
"Damn it!!" Garen was also furious. Originally, he didn't want to get entangled with Jin Huan, but now he was involved in this matter for no reason. "You idiot! There is still an exit below! That guy just wants me to hold you back! Do you think his injury is that serious!?"
The two slammed into each other with two muffled bang bangs. Gallon didn't move, but the Eighth Golden Ring groaned and stepped back a few steps to stand on the steps.
"Sure enough, it's the same as the information, it's very powerful!" Eighth Jinhuan's complexion changed slightly, his left hand trembled slightly behind his back, but his expression remained motionless.
"That damned guy actually framed me! I don't have any necessary vendetta with you Jinhuan! Let's deal with that guy first, and then we will know where the things are!" Gallon said in a low voice, enduring the pain in his palm. He carried some of the Baiyun secret method, which was too rough and thick, so there was no poisoning, but he felt aching, numb and painful in his palms, which was a bit uncomfortable.
"You think I'll believe you?" Eighth asked coldly.
"What are you afraid of if I go with you?" Gallon is not as angry as usual now, "I won't take things, and I can verify the authenticity for you when the time comes. Anyway, you all know my identity, so I can't run away at all. Drop! Even if I run away, my family and teachers are still there, what are you worried about!"
Eighth stared at Garen for a while, and finally let go. "Okay! I believe you once!"
"You have to hurry up, that guy definitely knew that there was an exit below and fell like this!" Gallon said ruthlessly, it was the first time he had suffered such a big secret loss since his debut. Turn around and run downstairs.
"I don't need you to tell me!" The eighth one turned around and jumped down, following closely. The two disappeared into the shadows in a short while.
