Chapter 26 Trends
(This chapter can be said to be the final foreshadowing. If nothing else happens, the two sides will meet in tomorrow's two updates..)
Hearing Steven's question, Lin Tao hesitated but still replied:
"The moment I got it, I did have a reminder in my mind that this wanted notice should be the "Handbook of the Dead," but that's all."
Steven could be regarded as Lin Tao's savior, so Lin Tao took back his previous wary of him and handed the wanted order to Steven with a flick of his palm.
After taking this extremely ordinary "Handy of the Dead", Steven took out the wanted poster from his arms. When he compared the two, Steven's eyes were strange. It wasn't until he observed it for a while that he finally saw the wanted poster.
The "Manual of the Dead" was returned to Lin Tao.
After receiving the "Handbook of the Dead", Lin Tao saw that Steven had something to say, so he immediately asked:
"What did you see?"
Steven shook his head symbolically and directly ignored the question and asked Lin Tao:
"Take out your wanted poster and show it to me."
"I can't take it out because my wanted poster has disappeared since I don't know when!"
Steven seemed to have guessed this a long time ago. He nodded and pointed to the "Manual of the Dead" in Lin Tao's hand and continued:
"Looking at the comparison, the wanted poster in our hands and this "Dead Man's Manual" should be the same thing. The color and texture of the two are very consistent, except for the difference in thickness. They are probably ordinary wanted posters.
Four times."
In order to let Lin Tao see this more intuitively, Steven handed his wanted order to Lin Tao and asked Lin Tao to directly compare their thicknesses. After comparison, Lin Tao was undoubtedly convinced of Steven's statement.
The "Manual of the Dead" is exactly four times as thick as the wanted poster.
Although it is four times as thick as the wanted poster, the "Manual of the Dead" does not look that thick, because the thickness of the wanted poster is only about 1 mm, not even 1 mm.
Lin Tao looked at Steven in confusion, wondering what he meant by emphasizing the thickness. However, just when he was about to ask, Steven said it first:
"I guess this "Handbook of the Dead" was originally the wanted poster we had, but the name was changed in this final mission. The reason why it is thicker is probably because four wanted posters were combined into one. As for why it is
Four, because there are still four people alive in the team."
Lin Tao didn't care about this issue. What he cared about was why there was nothing on the "Handbook of the Dead", which was very different from his imagination that it was full of names.
"If the function of this "Manual of the Dead" is only to remind you of the number of survivors in the team, then you don't need this thing!"
Although Lin Tao said this, he carefully put it into his pocket. He did not give up the glimmer of hope because of this. Maybe its effect will not be realized until the end of the mission.
Obtaining the "Handbook of the Dead" Lin Tao can be regarded as getting rid of one of his heart ailments, but there are more than one heart ailments. If he cannot get out of here, everything will be empty talk.
"We should think about how to get out of here."
Compared to the embarrassment of everyone looking for a way out, Ye Guchen and the other three members of Execution Team No. 9 seemed very comfortable.
Although they were at ease, the situation they should have encountered did not fall behind. After the confused guides took them out of the first two tombs, Ye Guchen and the others were forcibly dispersed into the third tomb by the mission.
The place where Hu Zifu is located is a deep mountain filled with deathly silence. The mountain is covered with white withered bones. Within three steps, you will fall into a bone pit. In addition to the dense white bones, there are also some fine iron cages in the mountain.
The cages are arranged uniformly in an area, and the number is not too large, there are 30 in total.
The iron locks on the cages were not locked, but hung on them and trembled slightly. If you were close to these cages, you could clearly hear the roar coming from inside. This sound made Beard Fu's hair stand on end, as if someone was suffering inside.
All kinds of torture.
With Hu Hufu's honest and steady character, he would not take risks, and besides, he had no need to take risks. Unsurprisingly, Hu Hufu chose to skip it. He skipped this cage area where opportunities and dangers coexisted.
In other words, he lost the opportunity to obtain a "guidance object".
The captain of Beard Fu is a Filipino named Cruz. Cruz has a simple and honest face and is extremely muscular. At this time, he is sitting on a small boat with a long bow on his back and a long bow on his waist.
There was a quiver tied to his chest. Just looking at his appearance, he was no different from the hunters who went into the mountains to hunt in ancient times. But this was not a mountain, but a vast sea with bright golden waves.
The boat moved at a constant speed with the waves. There was an oar in the boat, but Cruz didn't use it at all. He held a sharp knife about two palms long in his hand, and his eyes drifted left and right as his head turned, tightly
Watch the goings on around you.
Being separated from Ye Guchen was what he was most happy to see, and it was easy to understand when he thought about it. Ever since Ye Guchen appeared in the base, he had been reduced from a superior captain to a puppet. Ye Guchen's insidious cruelty was something he couldn't resist.
Although I tried my best to resist, the result was the same.
He knew that with his level of skill, he could not do anything to Ye Guchen head-on, and Ye Guchen was suspicious by nature and extremely vigilant even in the base. Even if he knew how to use poisoning and assassination, he would never be able to find a suitable opportunity to strike.
.Besides, Ye Guchen has the ability to destroy opponents. With him around, the possibility of escaping from the curse can be increased by one point.
It was precisely because of these two considerations that he endured it. He was waiting for an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. He could not only get rid of the evil Ye Guchen, but also leave this curse safely.
He was constantly refining his plan in his mind, and unknowingly the boat carrying him came to a strange sea area. After the boat floated here, its speed suddenly dropped sharply, and it was no different than when it was still.
Cruz straightened up slightly and saw a number of wooden barrels floating around the boat. About two-thirds of each barrel was immersed in the water, and the remaining one-third was floating on the water. There was a metal-like structure on the exposed part.
The lid has yellow patterned seals on three sides, which looks very strange.
Looking at these strange wooden barrels, Cruz had some hesitation on his face, but in the end this hesitation was dispelled by him. Without daring to put down the knife in his hand, he quickly picked up the wood pulp in the boat and started cutting it quickly.
On the sea surface, the small boat that was originally stationary became much faster.
Not long after, the boat completely sailed out of this area and continued to drift into the distance.
Apparently he missed the chance to find the "Manual of the Dead".
Ye Guchen cut off his original long hair, and the sloppiness caused by the long hair was also swept away.
The road here is very strange, because it is all an upward slope, and the road behind him disappears as he moves forward. Although the slope is not steep, and walking on it does not feel smooth, it consumes far more energy.
Nothing can be compared to a flat road.
His face was still calm and indifferent, and he didn't know what he was planning under his deep eyes. As he was walking, he suddenly stopped, looked at the still endless far end, let out a long breath, and actually murmured to himself:
"If I die here, will the people on the other side have nowhere to go?"
