When did Lin Biao discover the old man's identity? Why was he so sure that Hermes would find a way to get close to the two of them? Why was he so powerful that Hermes had no room for resistance from beginning to end?
Everything he did from beginning to end seemed to be a deliberate trick to guide Hermes into the trap he designed. Using Hermes' psychology, he not only found the entrance to the underworld, but also obtained the treasure in his hand. That artifact.
Liang Sicheng had many questions in his mind, and most of them were shocked.
With his level of intelligence, he still couldn't figure out this series of events, and even Qi Zhen might not be able to detect it. How many things did Lin Biao have hidden under the water?
Of course, if Wang Jianguo or Sun Jie were to look at these issues, they probably wouldn't be as entangled as Liang Sicheng. They would just say that it was Lin Biao as a matter of course. Isn't this normal?
But after Liang Sicheng reacted, he knew very well that just like what he had communicated with Lin Biao before, they must enter the underworld through the entrance to the underworld as soon as possible.
Hermes is dead, and the gods, especially Zeus, must be aware of it. This behavior is tantamount to declaring war on the Lord of the Gods.
Only by reaching the underworld as soon as possible, where Zeus can't control it, may the team be safe for a short period of time.
When the other team members learned that Lin Zhu killed Hermes by himself, they were even more shocked than Liang Sicheng.
How come in just one morning, Lin Biao did everything the team members should and should not do?
Everyone understood what this incident meant, so Qi Zhen naturally had no intention of pursuing her own fortune-making plan, and Sun Jie and Nuo Lan even lost interest in shopping.
Soon, the team appeared in this ordinary residence.
Looking at the God of Deception on the ground and the twin snake scepters scattered aside, everyone in the team was speechless.
"Who can explain to me what happened?" Wang Jianguo asked in surprise.
From finding the church of Hermes, to meeting the old liar waiting for the two of them at the door, to arriving here in a daze, and Lin Biao's violent outburst, there seemed to be many inexplicable coincidences, but the process seemed incomparable. Simple and crude.
In a few words, Liang Sicheng explained everything that happened along the way. It wasn't that he didn't want to explain it in more detail, but he was also very confused, so he kept staring at Lin Bian next to him.
"You can't be an NPC sent by the system," Qi Zhen joked.
But he knew that Lin Zhu was definitely not, at least in this game with the background of ancient Greek mythology, he couldn't be.
"I'll leave this to you, and I won't care about the rest. If you can take us to the underworld, then do it as soon as possible. If not, then everyone should prepare to fight." Lin Biao pointed to the double snake scepter on the ground. He said calmly.
As always, he refused to explain anything to the team.
The golden scepter was lying alone on the ground, seeming to have lost its due power.
Qi Zhen's eyes lit up as soon as she saw it.
A mysterious attraction arises from the scepter, as if it is greeting Qi Zhen's spiritual power affectionately.
Qi Zhen stepped forward to pick up the scepter, and a huge divine power rushed into his mind instantly.
"Congratulations on getting the legendary item——
The scepter of the God of Merchant. "
The system's electronic synthesized sound faintly sounded in his mind, but at this time, he didn't bother to listen.
The scepter of the God of Shang, at one end of the scepter there are two golden snakes circling upward to the top, with a pair of golden wings on both sides. However, the wings are not the head of some kind of bird, but are bare. The most distinctive thing is that The tail end of the staff is not made into an equal-width handle like ordinary staffs. Under normal circumstances, staffs are made of a long piece of wood, but the tail of this Shang God's staff is But it was very sharp, with a dazzling cold light shining on it.
If you hold the staff upside down, the wings become the jaws of the sword, and the bare head becomes the hilt.
The scepter became a golden sword.
Qi Zhen's eyes were slightly closed, silently feeling the divine power coming from the scepter, with a face full of enjoyment.
"Why does this scepter look so familiar?" Nuolan on the side suddenly said.
"The emblem of China Customs is composed of the cross of the scepter of the God of Merchant and a golden key." Lin Biao said.
Everyone was stunned.
"Legend has it that Zeus ordered Hermes to hypnotize Argos, the hundred-eyed giant who was guarding his mistress, and he used this wand." Sun Jie said at the side.
Although Qi Zhen's body has been baptized by the divine power contained in the scepter, others have not been affected. I don't know whether it is because the divine power in the scepter is too subtle or because the divine power is originally soft.
After a long time, Qi Zhen opened his eyes, and the Mangekyo Sharingan flashed in his eyes.
Everyone was in a trance, as if at that moment, all their attention was attracted by Qi Zhen's eyes, and they even fell into it.
Qi Zhen's own feeling is even more obvious.
"How do you feel?" Liang Sicheng asked.
"Very good, very powerful." Qi Zhen said with a smile on her face.
"How strong is strong?" Wang Jianguo asked.
Qi Zhen raised the scepter in her hand, which was emitting a faint cyan light, just like when Hermes held it in his hand.
He walked to the door of the room, opened it, and let in the night outside.
Yes, although Thenaron City always looks a little dark at noon due to the cover of dark clouds, the current Thenaron City is indeed in the dark night.
"Welcome to my dreamland." Qi Zhen said with a smile.
"What? What? Is this your dream?" Wang Jianguo's eyes widened.
Not only him, but everyone rushed to the door. Looking at the originally noisy streets that were now deserted, the shock on their faces could not be hidden at all.
"We are still in that room now, but you are asleep." Qi Zhen smiled and nodded.
He always thought that only his mental attributes and Sharingan were the key factors that determined his ability to use, but he did not expect that he still underestimated the ability bonus brought by weapons or props.
He feels very wonderful now, as if the spirits of the team members are firmly under his control, yes, control.
If illusions and dreams both exert influence and impact on other people's minds, so as to achieve certain detection purposes, then with the Shang Shen Scepter, Qi Zhen can finally do what she did in the movie "Inception" As described, I began to control other people's thoughts through dreams.
Oh, of course everything
There are exceptions.
"Where is Lin Biao?" Liang Sicheng looked around and asked softly.
Qi Zhen smiled bitterly. It seemed that even if she was so powerful, she still could not influence Lin Biao.
His spirit left the dreamland, and the scene around him returned to daytime again.
"I said, can't you pretend to be hypnotized by me?" Qi Zhen said to Lin Biao.
Lin Biao looked at the people standing around but their eyes had lost their luster, and shrugged: "Sorry."
"Is it Artemis or Athena?" Qi Zhen suddenly asked confusedly.
Lin Biao shook his head: "It's Pandora."
Qi Zhen frowned: "Is it possible that Hephaestus also plays some disgraceful role?"
"There must be some. His wife made Ares sleep like that. If he doesn't do something small, it will be unreasonable." Lin Biao said.
"Have you figured it out?" Qi Zhen asked again, still so clueless, as if the two of them were playing a riddle.
But Lin Biao seemed to understand and said, "I want to see it again."
Everyone in the team is now in a dream. Hermes is dead and the other gods have not yet arrived. The two of them are still talking so profoundly and unfathomably. It is naturally obvious what they are hiding.
"What exactly does the system want to do?" Qi Zhen sighed and finally said these two words.
Lin Biao did not comment on Qi Zhen's complaint and said, "Do you have a way to enter the underworld?"
Qi Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I can only give it a try. You happen to be here too. Come in and I'll introduce you to a new friend."
"Okay." Lin Biao nodded.
The light around the two of them continued to refract. Since Lin Biao was truly unaffected by Qi Zhen's dream, Qi Zhen naturally did not need to bother with making a seamless connection to confuse his sight, and simply and crudely led him to her own place. In a dream.
The team gathered together in Qi Zhen's dream.
"Cai Fan, we have seen the power of the God of Shang's Scepter, let us out now?" Wang Jianguo suggested.
Qi Zhen's dream simply restored the appearance of houses and streets, not a complete world, so it seemed eerie and he was a little uncomfortable with it.
"Don't worry, let me introduce you to a friend." Qi Zhen said with a smile, the green light of the Shang God's scepter in his hand flashed.
It's like a signal gun and a lighthouse in the sea.
"Isn't this a flashlight for the connector?" Liang Sicheng, who has watched many spy movies, asked doubtfully.
Qi Zhen glanced at him.
After a while, a man appeared in front of the team.
"Why do you have this thing in your hand?" the man asked Qi Zhen in surprise.
"Don't be afraid if I tell you." Qi Zhen said.
"Uh... why don't you stop talking?" The man was a little curious, but also a little scared.
"Should you tell me or not?" Qi Zhen said angrily.
"Tell me, tell me." In the end, curiosity overcame fear, and the man stiffened his neck, looking like he was willing to die generously.
"We killed Hermes." Qi Zhen said.
"Oh my god, you guys are so brave," the man said.
"The killing is over anyway." Qi Zhen shrugged.
