It was obvious that He Fei's eyes were closed not because of fear, but because he was experimenting. He was regrouping his brain and energy, as if he was dealing with an illusion. Cheng Ying's walking and groping was also an experiment. As for the result...
After about a minute, when He Fei opened his eyes again, what he saw was still the ancient-style room that had never changed, and all the furniture in the room that Cheng Ying had touched were purely solid. Now that he opened his eyes again, The scene has not changed. Since the objects you touch are all about texture, doesn't this mean...
"It's not an illusion!" This was the first thing He Fei said after doing the experiment. After hearing this, Cheng Ying immediately nodded and seriously agreed: "It's indeed not an illusion. Everything here is real. During the move, There was no abnormality in the results.”
The two people used almost identical answers to prove that the room was not an illusion, but precisely because the scene in front of them was not an illusion, and because they were reminded of the trance they first experienced, a frightening word suddenly appeared in their minds:
space! Some kind of spatial ability that can transport objects and even humans out of thin air! It was the spatial ability that dispersed and transferred the executors who had escaped from the tomb before, and it was also the spatial ability that transported the two of them into a strange room that they had never been before!
Thinking of this, both He Fei and Cheng Ying broke out in cold sweat again, and another terrible word linked to space also came to their minds.
At this moment, looking at Cheng Ying's beautiful face that had turned pale, He Fei calmed down a little, so he frowned and continued: "As expected, everyone, including you and me, should be scattered at present. Everywhere in Diling, although this is a common tactic, it is undeniable that this trick is effective. When people are scattered, it is much easier to kill them one by one than to face a group."
"Also, what we have encountered so far can be said to be both expected and unexpected. The expected naturally refers to the mission itself. To be honest, with the difficulty level of this mission, anything can happen. , I myself was mentally prepared early on, as for the unexpected..."
After a pause, He Fei glanced at the room and continued: "I didn't expect that the accident would happen so quickly. It would suddenly come when we were escaping, and we would all be hit together without knowing it."
As mentioned above, because he had experienced strong winds and waves, although He Fei was frightened at the beginning of the mutation, He Fei soon suppressed his panic and regained his composure. Especially after doing the experiment, he recognized the reality and began to calm down. Analyzing the problem, and the problem was just as He Fei said above, he did not expect that just after escaping from the tomb, something unexpected happened suddenly, catching everyone off guard. Seeing He Fei gradually calm down and began to analyze, Cheng Ying, who is also a senior, also followed After calming down, he nodded in agreement after listening to He Fei's analysis: "Well, it was indeed too sudden, but given the situation at the time, we could only fall for it. After all, the hole in the wall is the only escape exit."
When the two of them talked about this, they had basically understood the problem. For the time being, they had at least figured out how the two of them got here. The reason that caused them to suddenly change places and even appear in a strange room was precisely this. Spatial ability.
Space ability represents some kind of extremely dangerous existence, and its danger level has far exceeded that of the military zombie.
"It's just..." After saying that, after basically understanding the whole situation, Cheng Ying changed the topic and asked He Fei: "Then what should we do now?"
He Fei naturally knew the meaning of Cheng Ying's words, so he shook his head and said seriously: "Chen Xiaoyao said before that this underground mausoleum is a tomb made in the Tang Dynasty, and it is very likely that it was built after the palace on the ground. In other words, Diling is very large and complex inside, and we are completely unfamiliar with it, so in a sense, from the moment we were randomly transferred, the team basically lost the possibility of reunion. Of course, nothing is absolute. First of all, we must understand that the purpose of our coming here is not to rob the tomb, and we are not interested in any antique property in the tomb. Rather, we are looking for something called the Soul-fixing Pearl. Although the danger increases after being dispersed, there are also advantages to being dispersed, at least The search progress will be accelerated, and besides..."
The words stopped abruptly, and then he took out his ID and looked at it carefully. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the ID, He Fei took it back and continued to Cheng Ying: "By the way, Cheng Ying, let me ask you a question."
Cheng Ying was a little surprised when He Fei suddenly changed the subject.
He Fei's eyes flickered, and then he asked a question that surprised the female killer: "Where do you think the soul-fixing pearl was placed?"
"Huh?"
Because she really didn’t expect He Fei to suddenly ask such a question with no answer, Cheng Ying was startled at first, but based on her understanding of the young man, she was stunned. Cheng Ying quickly understood He Fei’s intention, so she started thinking about it. Seconds later, he said in an uncertain tone: "Based on our understanding of the curse, I think the curse will definitely not place the Soul-fixing Pearl in a place where it is easy to find, but it will never put it in a place where the executor is bound to not find it. .”
"You and I thought about it together." Seeing Cheng Ying quickly understand and answer immediately, He Fei nodded and said: "Yes, under the basic principle of the curse that never releases unsolvable tasks, even if the Soul-fixing Bead It is deliberately hidden, and it will not be hidden in a place where the executor can never find it, and this is the tomb of an ancient emperor. If that is the case, then..."
"Where do you think the place where the Soul-fixing Pearl can theoretically be found?"
Somehow, as he spoke, He Fei's expression changed, and after saying something that seemed like a reminder, he asked the same question again. Maybe ordinary people would not know the meaning of He Fei's words, but Cheng Ying was different. She knew He Fei very well and knew the capabilities of the young man in front of her. In addition, she was also very smart. So, as soon as He Fei finished speaking, Cheng Ying's expression changed as if she had received some kind of reminder, and she immediately spoke in a tentative tone. He replied: "Do you mean..."
Before Cheng Ying could finish speaking, He Fei, who knew that the other party had already guessed the answer, nodded in advance and continued: "Of course, this is just a guess based on the mission environment. After all, this is an underground place. The mausoleum is theoretically possible, and we currently have no clues, so even if it is just a personal guess, we can only set it as a target. At least until more valuable clues are found, I do not plan to change the plan. "
At this point, regardless of Cheng Ying's reaction, He Fei immediately raised his left hand, activated the spiritual connection and said to the ruby ring: "I am He Fei, how are you guys doing now?"
Relying on the inherent characteristic of mind connection that completely ignores supernatural interference, as soon as He Fei opened the mind connection, his voice was already remembered in the minds of all the members of the Shenzhou Team. As expected, as soon as He Fei finished speaking, a series of panicked noises came from his mind. One of the rough voices immediately shouted: "Ah! It's you, brother. You have contacted us. There is no signal on both the mobile phone and the communicator. I don't know what to do! By the way, what just happened? Why? Just after we ran out of the hole in the wall, Tao Mei and I suddenly appeared in a place we have never been before, where are you and everyone else?"
After Peng Hu finished speaking, another relatively calm female voice came to mind: "My situation is similar. I also fell into a trance while passing through the hole in the wall, and then appeared in a completely unfamiliar place."
Following Peng Hu and Tang Meng who were the first to speak, Zhao Ping, Chen Xiaoyao, Li Tianheng, Kong Ling, Chen Shuihong and others also admitted that they had been transferred by some mysterious force. Naturally, the newcomers were also full of fear during this period. Noisy asked, leaving aside how the newcomers were. Through questioning and honest answers from Peng Hu and others, He Fei has now confirmed that the team has been dispersed. Although there are one or two people together, most of them are alone and appear out of thin air somewhere. It was a completely unfamiliar location. Not only that, because everyone was an experienced veteran, everyone quickly came to a terrifying conclusion, that was space. The thing that had just moved them inexplicably was most likely space. Ability, since it is a space ability, then some extremely terrifying existence will be confirmed without any suspense...
In this underground mausoleum that has been hidden for thousands of years, there exists a powerful ghost that the executor is unwilling to face in his heart!
Precisely because the existence of that terrifying ghost was confirmed, as soon as the discussion ended, Chen Xiaoyao used his unique frivolous tone to joke with a wry smile: "Hey, I said Lao He, and everyone, this time we are... It's a big deal. I thought that having a thousand-year-old zombie in Diling would be troublesome enough. I didn't expect that there is an even more powerful ruthless character. Now none of us know where we are. It is definitely impossible to gather together. If we can't gather together, it will be in danger for us who are alone."
Upon hearing that Chen Xiaoyao mentioned the danger of being alone, Xu was the only person around him who took him seriously
None. After Chen Xiaoyao finished speaking, Chen Shuihong's trembling voice full of fear came to mind: "Ah! Brother He, where are you? And Brother Chen, where are you? Can you two come to me? Really? I’m alone in a dark alley right now, you two come to me quickly!?”
"What are you looking for? Diling is so big. Now I can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south. I don't even know where I am. How do you want me to find you? Infinite Heavenly Lord, Brother Chen, you have to ask for it this time. What a blessing, there is nothing a poor man can do."
Although He Fei and Chen Xiaoyao are Chen Shuihong's two most trusted teammates, and he himself is eager to reunite with the above two people, Chen Xiaoyao is right. When no one knows where he is, the so-called Finding a rendezvous is no longer possible. Chen Xiaoyao understands this. Why don't others understand this? Fortunately, everyone is not in danger at the moment, they are just scattered randomly, which is fortunate among misfortunes. In the same way, since the Shenzhou team has been dispersed and moved, Abdullah and his group will definitely encounter the same situation. The only thing Unfortunately, although spiritual connection can contact teammates regardless of interference, it can only contact members of the own team. Two different teams cannot communicate with each other. If they can communicate, He Fei would really like to know about the Arab team. In the current situation, intelligence sharing must be maintained at least. In addition, through some contacts, for now, Yi He Fei has a basic understanding of the team. He can confirm that the Arab team is a good-faith team. If nothing else, just follow the Arab team. It can be seen in the words and deeds of Abdulla, and the senior man named Feida, who saved Tang Meng at a critical moment. For this kind of good-faith team, He Fei does not want the other party to be destroyed.
Back to the topic, after it was confirmed that the entire team had been dispersed and relocated and was unlikely to be reunited, before He Fei could continue to speak, Li Tianheng, who had always been very good at focusing on the key points, immediately talked about the key point: "By the way, He Fei, since We are all scattered, then let’s..."
Li Tianheng hesitated to speak mid-sentence, but even if he didn't say anything, everyone would know what he wanted to express, so...
Silence, silence, elegance and silence. As Li Tianheng talked about the key point, for a moment, everyone who was noisily talking in the spiritual connection stopped talking. But the silence of others does not mean that He Fei did not speak. As the team leader and leader of the first team, Recognized as the strongest wise man in the team, He Fei would not and could not abandon the challenge and only care about himself. What's more, he had other purposes for contacting everyone.
After about ten seconds of silence, Xu Shi finally confirmed something. He Fei told others the guess he had told Cheng Ying before. Sure enough, after hearing He Fei's personal guess, everyone was surprised and agreed. .
"Huh? That's right! Although we have been dispersed and moved, being dispersed also has the advantage of being dispersed. The risk of us being alone increases, but it is faster to search scattered than to search together. Also, the curse never releases unsolvable tasks, so Even if the Soul-fixing Pearl is hidden well, it will not be hidden in a place where the executor will never find it, and this is an underground mausoleum. It seems that you are right, brother. You really need to visit Wu Zetian's underground palace tomb. It’s very reasonable to set the meeting point there. If that’s the case, then shall we…”
Following Peng Hu's unfinished words, He Fei was noncommittal, and then formally issued an order to everyone through the spiritual connection: "Everyone, listen, from now on, in addition to looking for the soul-fixing beads, we will also search for Wu Zetian's If we can't find the soul-fixing beads in the underground palace tomb, which is the main hall of this underground mausoleum, then we can only place our hopes on Wu Zetian's underground palace tomb."
Yes, this is the team goal that He Fei has temporarily set, and the logic is reasonable and irrefutable. Of course, considering that he is not the only smart person in the team, after informing everyone of the search plan, based on careful consideration, He Fei continued: "Does anyone have any questions?"
"No problem, I'll just do what you say, brother."
"I don't have any problem either."
"Me too."
He Fei's cautious inquiry caused everyone to shake their heads in unison. Seeing that no one had any other suggestions or ideas, He Fei did not say much and planned to close the spiritual connection. This was for sure. Although opening the spiritual connection did not cost anything on the surface, there was As the saying goes, there are no absolutes in anything. In fact, He Fei discovered a problem related to spiritual connection a long time ago, that is, if the spiritual connection is turned on for a long time, he will feel tired and it seems that all his energy is consumed. , and the longer it is turned on, the more energy is consumed
The more power he has, just like now, because he has maintained the open state for 15 minutes, he is a little out of breath at this moment, and he feels as if he has run a thousand-meter race. His body is exhausted. Although it is not very obvious, it basically confirms the spiritual connection. Existence consumption is by no means a privileged ability that can be used unlimitedly, but...
Just when he was about to close the connection, something suddenly occurred to him, and He Fei said something extra: "Zhao Ping, do you have anything to say?"
"Like everyone else, I don't have any suggestions. I'll just do what you said for the time being." Zhao Ping's indifferent answer made He Fei frown slightly, opened his mouth and wanted to continue talking, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just reminded everyone in an extremely cautious tone: "We already know what the current situation is, so...Brother Peng, and everyone, please be careful!"
"Well! Don't worry, brother, we know what to do! You and Cheng Ying should be careful too!"
After receiving the same solemn response from Peng Hu and others, He Fei closed the spiritual connection. He wanted to continue saying something to Cheng Ying beside him, but before he could open his mouth, Wei Zhiqiang, who was also at the scene, stared curiously and asked. Said: "Captain, were you using magic just now? Why can you talk to other people? Just now a lot of voices suddenly popped up in my mind, what is going on? During this period, you have been talking about space ability? Space ability? Then , what is that?"
As a newcomer, Wei Zhiqiang was really stunned by He Fei's conversation just now. He didn't care about the strange room in front of him. Wei Zhiqiang hurriedly poked his head to ask. Unfortunately, due to the emergency, even though He Fei had a kind personality, he was not very friendly towards newcomers. He has always been very patient and answered all questions, but now he didn’t have time to explain, so he shook his head and said consolingly: "Brother Wei, please don’t ask so many questions now. If we can complete the mission and come back alive this time, I will I will explain it to you specifically. Now you only need to know that our situation is a bit dangerous. The three of us have been separated from others, and it is almost impossible to reunite. At present, we can only do one thing, and that is to look for the soul-fixing beads. "
Seeing Wei Zhiqiang nodded with half understanding, He Fei didn't say anything more and looked directly at Cheng Ying. Cheng Ying, who had already learned about He Fei's plan from the spiritual connection, had no nonsense, so, The two began to observe the room. There was no denying that they had observed the room when they first came to the room, but that observation was just to verify the authenticity. It was only then that the two of them really looked at the completely unfamiliar thing in front of them. Looking at the ancient room attentively, one can see that the room is indeed not big. There are only two rooms inside and outside. From the surrounding furniture, it is certain that they are currently in the living room, and there are nine out of ten doors that are closed. It is a wing bedroom, and it is worth mentioning that...
Although the door to the bedroom was closed, the door was wide open behind them, revealing darkness. Seeing this, the three of them did not immediately check the bedroom inside. Instead, they were attracted by the darkness outside the door. With strong curiosity, the three of them came to the door. He raised the flashlight in front of him. Unexpectedly, it was better not to look at it. At a glance, whether it was He Fei, Cheng Ying, or Wei Zhiqiang, the eyes of the three of them widened in an instant!
As the flashlight beam shone outside the door, I saw that in front of me was not the narrow and depressing Diling Lane as I had guessed, but a courtyard. It turned out to be an elegant ancient courtyard!
There is a passage corridor in front of the door. Looking left and right through the corridor, there are a row of rooms on both sides, and beyond that are the central courtyard and several other exquisite ancient houses. The corridor columns painted with red paint, the completely pure white The brick steps and the beautifully crafted room doors all confirm the astonishing fact that this is a courtyard. The courtyard is exquisite and luxurious. It is most likely the residence of an ancient noble. The overall feeling is similar to To give a simple example, the palaces and residences in the Forbidden City look like this. The only difference is that there is no sky above their heads, but a completely sealed rock ceiling.
It turns out that what Chen Xiaoyao said was wrong. Although this is an underground mausoleum, it is also a palace, an underground palace specially built to imitate the palace on the ground!
"I, ***, this is really an underground palace! I have been to the Forbidden City in Beijing once before, and it is somewhat similar to the Forbidden City." At this moment, looking at the huge courtyard outside the door, Wei Zhiqiang was dumbfounded and said in passing that he Of course, even if he didn’t tell him about his travel experience in visiting the Forbidden City, He Fei could get it from the costume dramas he had watched in the past.
In fact, at this moment, after taking a general look at the courtyard environment, the three of them turned their flashlights to shine outside the door, which is the door of the mansion facing the main room. With the excellent focus of the cat's eye flashlight, they discovered that there was an alley outside the door of the mansion, even though they did not know the connection. Where, but He Fei basically made a guess and knew that the lanes connected to other palaces and mansions. Since this was a huge underground palace, what should the three of them do next? The answer is predictable.
Maintaining caution, under the leadership of He Fei, the three of them began to search as a group. In this way, they searched everywhere in the mansion, and they searched the rooms most carefully. Unfortunately, all the rooms were searched, except for the one on the north that was locked. Outside the room, nothing was found in other rooms. Although it was full of antique furniture and furnishings, no matter which one was taken outside, it was a priceless antique artifact, but it was meaningless to the executor. As the search in other rooms was completed, the next three The person came to the only locked room door.
Looking at the iron lock in front of the door, Cheng Ying took out the iron wire and started to pick the lock at He Fei's signal. Fortunately, the door lock of the room was completely different from the iron lock of the door of the tomb passage. Except for the small passage, it was not too big and the structure was simple. To put it bluntly, it was just an ordinary ancient iron lock. Although Cheng Ying was not as professional as Li Tianheng when facing an ordinary iron lock, she could still deal with it. Half a minute later, there was only a click, and the door was opened instantly, and the three of them Then push the door cautiously and enter, but...
When the three of them stepped into the room, before they even raised their flashlights to take a closer look, an extremely pungent stench suddenly poured into their nostrils. At the same time, Xu happened to see something, and Wei Zhiqiang suddenly let out a scream of horror. Call:
"ah!!!"
