Chapter 58 Peach Blossom Land?
Her tone was still cold, "I'm fine. I'm sorry to trouble Chief Li. The city is really not right. It's not just chaos. There is something special that affects me." At this point, Elizabeth paused for a moment and continued with a trace of embarrassment. "In a word, thank you for your kindness, sir, who has just helped me a lot. If it hadn't been for the early discovery..." P>
"No need to thank you. I just hope you're really okay," Li said. "There's something wrong here. I'm not talking about psionic. Now tell me, what do you see?"
"Is this a test? How dare you test me? You are really cautious." Elizabeth's mouth raised slightly: "But your caution is worthy of praise. We are lucky to have people like you in the team." After saying that, she simply glanced around and found the problem in an instant. "This is the ruins of the ancient city with a long history, but there is only a thin layer of dust on the handrails on the steps." Elizabeth gently brushed the handrails the stairs with her fingers. The dust was put in front of him and looked at it carefully. "It hasn't been cleaned here for about a week." Elizabeth stared at the dust on her fingers and thought about it. Finally, she shook her head and gave up thinking, "I don't understand. How could this happen? Shouldn't this be an ancient relic with a history of tens of thousands of years? How can it be so new? Is there something similar to some kind of static position? Does it make the internal time stagnate in a certain state?
"No, if it is some kind of position that can change the time, then we will also be affected. There is no reason why it only acts as dust, and no one will use this kind of thing to keep the room clean and tidy. Needless to say, I have never heard that technology can do this." Li frowned and thought about it, and casually broke the wooden handrails by the stairs. "It's not just dust. The wood in my hand should have rotted for a long time, and it would have been enough to turn into powder in hundreds of years, but now it is as useful as the newly bought furniture. No matter what Gustav said in Gustav's information, he must not have gone deep into the city. The guy just brushed the first floor with a small brush, and then made various inferences. His intelligence is not credible. We need to be more careful," he finally shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's useless to think too much. Maybe someone is really there. We cleaned here a week ago. No matter what it is, we can only be vigilant and move on.
After saying that, Li disappeared into the darkness, and the whole team began to move forward.
The down trip lasted for three hours, and the group came to the fifth floor of the dungeon. Pushing open a small door on the fifth floor, Lee, Elizabeth and the nuns slowly walked into another world.
After opening the door, a huge city suddenly appeared in front of everyone. This is an ancient neighborhood full of the 20th century earth style. In the distance are skyscrapers standing side by side, and at the feet are crissscrossing cement streets. On both sides of the street are two rows of dim yellow street lights, and two black cars are parked on the street. Occasionally, pedestrians in suits will pass by in an old car, casting a strange glance at Li and his party.
On everyone's head, the neon lights flashed, and everyone's stunned expression appeared in the darkness under a flash of red light, disappeared, appeared, disappeared...
An absurd idea suddenly appeared in Li's mind. He would not take everyone to the streets of the United States in the 20th century, would he? No, it's impossible! Li looked back at the door behind him, which was still the long spiral staircase. Then Li looked up at the sky. This is still the underground ancient city. The sky above his head is the best proof - it is the sky covered with thick clouds. On the sky, there is occasional rumbling thunder. Lightning passes over the clouds, leaving only an instantaneous flash. After a moment, the sky and the world return to black. Dark. But this scene can only deceive ordinary eyes. Li knows that what he sees is just simulated images. The whole sky is just a huge projection screen, and the screen simulates the moment when the storm is coming.
At the moment when the lightning came, Li also saw the tall buildings between heaven and earth, like the legendary ancient Babylon Tower. These tall buildings towered into the false clouds and connected heaven and earth. There is no doubt that this is the passage connecting the upper and lower floors.
"What the hell is going on? There are blocks, street lights, and this car. Just now, another person passed by in front of us." Elizabeth paused and let her brain trek and struggle in the mud of reason. After a while, she tried to get reason back to where it should be. Then Elizabeth regained her tongue and continued to say, " What kind of underground ruins is this!?
It's really too bad. Is there such an underground relic? This scene is a little too absurd. It's like an archaeologist who happened to find the First Emperor's Mausoleum. That's happy. In the future, the tourism industry will rely on this. He began to dig happily. When he digs it up, he suddenly becomes cheerful. The land is flat, and the house is like, and there are good rice fields, beautiful ponds and bamboo. Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs hear each other. Damn it, archaeologists scolded. Isn't this the First Emperor's Mausoleum? Where did the Terracotta Warriors go? Why did it become a peach blossom source!
Fortunately, Gustav didn't follow him. The unlucky guy took the excavation team to gently brush and brush it with a small brush. After several months, he easily cleaned the first layer. I guess there are still many layers below, and it may still be beautiful in his heart. This mentality is a bit like a child eating cherry cake. Some children are used to leaving their favorite cherries at the end and slowly eating them. They enjoy the wonderful feeling of expectation, but Gustav's cherries are obviously very different from what he imagined, which is likely to be a blow to him.
"It's really weird. I didn't expect that there were still people living under here," Li looked at Elizabeth and asked, "Is the guy who just walked by human?"
"It seems that it is indeed human, and there is no danger, and there is no special psionic response." Elizabeth said uncertainly, "I'm afraid it's human. This may not be an underground relic. At least I'm sure it's definitely not a relic here."
Is it the cosmic version of Taohuayuan? Li was suspicious, but he couldn't be sure: "So what the hell is here?"
"It's not easy. It's clear if you grab someone to ask."
Just as everyone was looking around, choosing a building and preparing to rush in to catch people, a woman in a red windbreaker suddenly came out of the corner of the alley. She wore a red wide-brimmed hat and hurriedly stepped on the road with high heels, making a rapid thud.
The woman didn't care about the costumes of the group. She hurriedly walked to Li and asked Li urgently, "Are you outsiders?"
Li was slamed and asked, "Who are you?"
"You are really an outsider. Please come with me. The street is not safe. Now the whole city is full of demons' eyes. We can't continue to stay here," the woman said and hurried away. After a few steps, she found that Li did not go any more. She turned around anxiously and lowered her voice. "Please believe me and come with me. Please, I will never hurt you. I will take you to a safe place. We will have a good talk when we get there. I will tell you everything."
Li ignored the girl in red, "Demon?" He looked at Elizabeth and inquired.
"No," Elizabeth denied, "It's not a demon. There is no chaotic atmosphere. It should be human beings. I'm not sure about this."
"Well, let's go with her." Li then said to the girl in red, "This lady, please lead the way. Yes, beautiful lady, can I know your name?"
"My name is Hekata, please come this way. Hurry up."
"So Hekata, where are we going?"
"A hidden point can help us avoid those malicious eyes. In this city, no, the whole world I live in has been attacked by the evil spirits of the outside world. The city is full of evil eyes. We must be careful.
The so-called hiding point is just an ordinary apartment in a residential area. As soon as they enter the apartment, they begin to occupy various strategic points, search for each room, and do not let go of any possible dangers.
"This is really professional. Some people guard the gate and windows everywhere, and will not let any enemy come in silently. Some people search for possible hidden enemies. Once they are busy, the apartment can be confirmed to be safe. It's as if they have done the same thing thousands of times.
"It's nothing," Elizabeth said lightly. "Every sister of the nuns is proficient in this. We have done this kind of thing many times. The only difference is that we don't do it to protect the people in the room."
Li understood the meaning of Elizabeth's words in an instant. He just sighed, but didn't say much. The two followed Hekata upstairs, waiting for her to take out the key to open the door, and then walked into the hiding place in her mouth. Li looked around and saw that this place looked more like the home of the woman Hekata.
"Please sit down, sit whatever you want, just like it's in your own home. Don't be restrained." Hecathe asked enthusiastically, "Do you need anything to drink?" What do outsiders usually drink?
"No, our time is very tight. Tell us what's going on here and the devil in your mouth."
"Do all outsiders want you to be so anxious? Well, I know that life is limited, so time is tight. Moreover, the outside world is cruel and ruthless. There are countless cruel enemies hidden in the depths of the dark universe, and demons in different spaces are tightly pressing each other. It's not easy to survive in the terrible world outside.
"Although it can't be considered right, it's not much worse. Survival itself is not an easy thing."
"We are different here. There has never been a disaster, and there is no oppression from human beings themselves. Everyone can live at ease here without experiencing war, and there is no needing to struggle for life. We avoid all the disturbances of the outside world and hide in our own small world. This is Our eternal home is the real paradise and the paradise in the universe. Our ancestors have lived here for countless years, and we planned to continue to live like this, but we didn't expect 'they' to suddenly break in like this.
"They refer to those demons."
"What else can there be? Among all the outsiders, I have never seen more evil and cruel creatures than those things. The city has also had foreign adventurers who have strayed in before. After seeing the life here, these people have voluntarily stayed. People are willing to continue their lives in this 'extraterrestrial paradise', and everyone yearns for this peaceful life. You can hardly see a fight in this city. Even if there are some differences, they can be properly solved through negotiation. A long time ago, only in the records of classics, our ancestors could fight against all kinds of evil in the universe like barbarians outside, but now, we have enjoyed too much After a long period of peace, we have long lost the ability to fight. In the face of such evil, there is nothing we can do.
"Hidden can't save you. Only fighting can have vitality." Li asked, "Let's not talk nonsense here. Where is the devil's specific [position]? Who are there among the demons? What do you know? We need specific information. Please make it clear. Once I know the truth, my friends and I will kill them. That's why we came here.
"Naturally," Hekata nodded excitedly and said, "I'll tell you everything I know."
Hecathe doesn't know much about it. She only knows that the demons arrived in the city a week ago. When the demons arrived in the first place, he cut off the connection between the city and the city, and between the hierarchy. The news has been completely cut off, and people hide in their homes and dare not go out. Some demons are scattered in the streets and alleys of the city, wandering around and brutally hunting everyone they see, while more demons are concentrated in the central square of the city.
"Central Grand Square? What's there?"
"A large circus! They built a huge greenhouse, just like a super luxurious large circus. The door has exaggerated decorations, gorgeous colors, and lively music, just like a real circus. Almost 90% of the demons are concentrated in the greenhouse. Every day, they 'invite' the residents of this place to the greenhouse to watch the circus performance. No one who goes in can come out, and no one knows what horror there is in the greenhouse.
"There is no one to resist? Did the invited person go like this?" Elizabeth's face was full of surprise, and there was a suppressed anger in her astonishment: "Even if you can't beat it, it's just a death. How can you be captured!" How can you be so weak!"
"We are unable to resist," Hekata's face was sad: "Indeed, we are weak, and for us, it is impossible to even escape. There is no other way but to pray. Foreign heroes, from the day of the arrival of evil, the people here began to pray devoutly, hoping that the gods could send his warriors to save us. Unexpectedly, you really came. I beg you, please save us.
"We are not the warriors of your hypocritical gods," Li said blankly, "We are the warriors of the emperor, and we are here to sweep away all evil. I already know about this place. Please go out for a while. I want to discuss something about fighting with my people. This barbaric thing may be too exciting for a woman like you.
The woman in red quietly exited the room, while Hilsa came in.
After the door was closed, Hilsha saluted and said, "Mr. Elizabeth, this place has been checked, and there is no one else in the whole room. Make sure it's safe. But there are some places that I care about. Although the room is fully furnished, there is no trace of life, and all the rooms have been carefully cleaned.
"There's really something wrong," Elizabeth said with a sneer, "Lord Li, what should we do?"
"If there is another opportunity, I will choose to satisfy my curiosity, arrest and torture this woman named Hekata, or simply kill her. But now we are racing against time. We don't have much time to pay attention to other things. People here can wait until afterwards. I think we don't need to care about the people here for the time being. We just need to do our own things well. Li scratched his head: "And we seem to be in trouble. I don't know why things always get worse when it comes to us. The devil not only guards the altar, but also hides it. Seeing that we have to rush into that circus to kill."
Elizabeth agreed: "I agree."
Li then gave his order to Hilsha, "Arrange the sentry, the team will rest for two hours, and then we will attack the demon clowns in the center. Elizabeth, have you got in touch with the spiritual people? What's the situation on their side?
Elizabeth closed her eyes. In an instant, her body seemed to enter another strange state, which could not be described in words. Lee felt that she seemed to see a small corner of another mysterious world. A light flashed away on Elizabeth's body. When she opened her eyes again Only a second has passed. "The contact is stable and the communication is clear. The spirit people and we have encountered the same dilemma. The devil hides the altar, and they can't determine the authenticity of the altar. We have no other way but to attack and destroy the altar for the time being."
