Origin

"Wait? We don't care, but they are still down there, will something happen?" Yang Yi said. The "them" in his mouth naturally refers to Huang Hailin and Xiao Qin, and possibly the one who has been chasing them. Peck his starling.

"You don't have to worry about this. The ghosts can distinguish between ourselves and the enemy and will not kill each other." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Yang Yi sighed. Although he was worried about the safety of Huang Hailin and others, he couldn't do anything. His special power could only force the ghosts out of the possessed people, but he couldn't eliminate them and force the ghosts out. Changes Big, no one knows who they will possess next.

"How long does it take for the machine to run a cycle?" Wang Xinran asked Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan knew that Wang Xinran wanted to determine how long to wait, but he could not answer this question and could only smile bitterly, "I don't know, you have to go down and ask Huang Hailin."

While the two were talking, Zhao Ying came over from a distance, picked up the body of a mercenary who had fallen to the ground, stepped on the steps, and hung the body on the noose above the steps.

Although Zhao Ying could carry the body, it was not easy. Seeing that she was struggling, Wu Zhongyuan got up to help. Seeing that he was about to get up, Wang Xinran squinted at him.

If he just sat down, Wu Zhongyuan would no longer be Wu Zhongyuan. Knowing that Wang Xinran was looking at him, he still got up, picked up the body of another mercenary, and threw it into the trap behind the steps.

Wang Xinran knew why Zhao Ying did this, but she had no idea of ​​a truce. "Are you worried that the living mercenary will conflict with us when he sees their corpses?"

"Isn't that exactly the result you want?" Zhao Ying sneered, "I won't give you an excuse to do it."

"I won't leave you with an accomplice or an excuse to clear yourself." Wang Xinran also sneered.

The two of them were facing each other. Wu Zhongyuan was listening in confusion. It took him more than ten seconds to think about what they meant. Zhao Ying meant that Wang Xinran deliberately did not dispose of the body, in order to intensify the conflict and make the last person The mercenaries got angry and took action, then took the opportunity to eliminate him.

What Wang Xinran meant was that the last mercenary was a potential threat to them, and he might shoot them in the back. If Zhao Ying killed them with his own hands, he would definitely not forgive Zhao Ying, but if it was this mercenary, If Bing "takes the initiative" to kill them, he may cooperate with Zhao Ying and others.

Wanting to understand what the two of them were thinking, Wu Zhongyuan frowned secretly. These two women were more thoughtful than him and had thought of all kinds of potential possibilities.

"If she dares to kill my people again,

I'll beat her to death. "Zhao Ying said to Wu Zhongyuan.

"I agree," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "but if one of your people dares to shoot you in the back, I will kill you."

Zhao Ying glanced at Wu Zhongyuan, smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Wu Zhongyuan is a key figure and the focus of competition between the two sides. His attitude directly determines the matter. Although the two sides are hostile, no one is allowed to attack the other before going out.

Wu Zhongyuan has no obvious preference for which side. The direct consequence is that both sides are dissatisfied with him. In the eyes of both parties, he has no position.

Afterwards, no one spoke for a long time. In order to save electricity, everyone turned off their flashlights, and the stone room was completely dark.

Wu Zhongyuan doesn't like the depression of a closed environment, but he likes darkness and silence. In this environment, he can think better and sort out various messy clues.

The first thing he thought about was the most important issue. He now had six spiritual stones in his hand, one of which could be used as two pieces. If the analysis by experts outside the country was correct, he would need three more spiritual stones to activate the formation.

In addition, Zhao Ying also said just now that according to their elimination analysis, only two spiritual stones are possible to find, including the one in Sanxingdui. In other words, after getting the piece in Sanxingdui, only one is left. There are unknown areas with spiritual stones hidden everywhere to explore.

Now there is such a problem. Even if he gets this piece and the other piece of Sanxingdui, he still has one piece missing. This piece can only be obtained from Zhao Ying.

How can I get a spiritual stone from her?

This matter must be very difficult, but it is not completely impossible, because Zhao Ying does not know that he has an unused spiritual stone in his hand, and the energy contained in this spiritual stone is equivalent to two ordinary spiritual stones. The direct consequence of this situation is that even if he gets the spirit stones here and in another area, in Zhao Ying's opinion, he only has seven spirit stones in his hand. Even if he is given another one, he only has eight. And with only eight yuan, he definitely couldn't leave.

As long as Zhao Ying has this idea, it is not impossible for him to obtain a spiritual stone from her.

Wu Zhongyuan was confused and curious about the areas other than Sanxingdui where spiritual stones might be hidden. According to Zhao Ying's words, that area was more dangerous than Sanxingdui, but at this time he could only suppress his emotions. Doubtful and curious, because even if he asked, Zhao Ying would definitely not tell him the relevant situation unless he agreed to cooperate with Zhao Ying and others.

Another problem he faced at this time was that the 18th Precinct had not been able to find any clues related to those warriors for a long time, and he was still three spiritual stones short of it. If he continued to cooperate with the 18th Precinct, in half a year The possibility of finding three spiritual stones within three years is extremely slim, even within three years. Previously, in front of the underground palace where the great wizard was sleeping, he had seen a message he had left to himself when he returned to the past. Even if he could go back in half a year, the situation of his tribe was already very bad. Half a year was already the limit. If it dragged on any longer, , even if he goes back, he can only collect the corpses of his own people.

Can't afford to drag, can't drag.

Since we can't afford to delay, we can only "cooperate" with Zhao Ying and others. Only by cooperating with Zhao Ying and others can we know where to find the next spiritual stone.

But now Zhao Ying and others think that he has five pieces of spiritual stones. If he gets another piece here, he will have six pieces, and Zhao Ying has three pieces, which will be nine pieces. If he gets the last piece, he will have six pieces. , that’s ten dollars. Once ten dollars are collected, Zhao Ying and others will step up their guard against him and follow him to the underground palace where the formation is located. Once he leaves, they will activate the wormhole’s formation and shutdown device. It would fall into the hands of Zhao Ying and others, which he did not want to see.

He didn't really want to cooperate with Zhao Ying, so he couldn't let Zhao Ying and others think that he had collected ten spiritual stones. Therefore, he must not take one piece here in his own hands. He must try to let Wang Xinran take it away. Not only must Wang Xinran take it away, but the unused spiritual stone must also be secretly handed over to Wang Xinran to prevent Zhao Ying and others from searching his backpack during the "cooperation" process.

After a comprehensive and calm review of the situation he faced, Wu Zhongyuan made a decision to "cooperate" with Zhao Ying.

Cooperating with Zhao Ying means breaking up with Wang Xinran and others. Wang Xinran is very smart. She will definitely understand her actions, but Zhao Ying is also very smart. How can it be reasonable to break up with Wang Xinran? How could breaking up not arouse her suspicion?

He had to find an opportunity, and he had to find a suitable opportunity. From this moment on, he could no longer have private contact with Wang Xinran. It was best to always be within Zhao Ying's sight, otherwise Zhao Ying would suspect that he was conspiring with Wang Xinran.

In addition to these, he is also thinking about another thing, that is, how to give an explanation to Zhao Ying. In the end, he must give an explanation to Zhao Ying, an explanation that will prevent her from being severely punished by her superiors, no matter what methods and methods he uses. The trick was to get the spirit stone from her, but the essence was to deceive her, and the deception itself was based on the other party's trust in him. Men should not deceive a woman who trusts him, even if the woman is a hostile force outside the country.

If you want to give her an explanation, you will inevitably lose something of research value. This is not what a person with a clear stance should do, but this is what a man should do.

Half an hour, an hour, two hours, about two hours later, everyone vaguely heard the strange noise caused by the friction of stones, which indicated that the mechanism in the maze was pushing the people trapped inside here.

Hearing the strange noise, everyone stood up and turned on their flashlights.

Wu Zhongyuan was the first person to turn on the strong flashlight. After turning it on, he first illuminated the entrance, then turned around and illuminated the hanged corpses. Finally, he walked behind the steps and observed the corpse he had thrown into the trap earlier.

His series of actions seemed to everyone that he was observing the death of the two mercenaries who were killed earlier to ensure that no one who was about to come in would find out that they had been killed. But in fact, he was taking advantage of the opportunity. Give the spirit stone to Wang Xinran, because the more people there are, the harder it will be for him to find a suitable opportunity to transfer the spirit stone.

He had night vision, so he didn't need to turn on the lights. The purpose of turning on the lights was to dazzle Zhao Ying's eyes when she turned her head, making her unable to see clearly for a short period of time, so that she could transfer the spirit stones more secretly.

When returning from the trap, Wu Zhongyuan put the spirit stone he had taken out while drinking water into Wang Xinran's hand.

Wang Xinran turned his head in confusion, and Wu Zhongyuan had already moved forward.

Wang Xinran had already reacted when she turned her head and did not raise her hand to check. She guessed what Wu Zhongyuan thrust into her based on the shape and weight of the object, and even understood what Wu Zhongyuan's purpose was.

The sound of stones rubbing against each other became clearer and clearer. A few minutes later, footsteps appeared at the entrance. Soon, Lin Qingming and a mercenary appeared in the light of the crowd.

Seeing familiar figures and faces, Wu Zhongyuan was very excited. He thought he would never see Lin Qingming again, but seeing him again felt like he was in another world.

"Brother." Wu Zhongyuan greeted him happily.

Lin Qingming didn't expect to see Wu Zhongyuan here, and was very surprised, "Why are you here?"

Before Wu Zhongyuan could answer, a gunshot suddenly sounded behind him, and the mercenary walking next to Lin Qingming fell to the ground.

When Wu Zhongyuan heard the sound, he turned around and saw that Wang Xinran had turned his gun and pointed it at Zhao Ying, "Don't move."

"What are you doing?" Wu Zhongyuan shouted loudly.

Wang Xinran did not answer, but said to Yang Yi who was standing aside, "Hand over her gun."

Yang Yi was also a little surprised, but he still walked over and unloaded Zhao Ying's pistol.

"Search." Wang Xinran said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhongyuan stepped forward quickly, pushed Yang Yi away, turned to Wang Xinran and said, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"They won't kill you, but they will kill us." Wang Xinran said seriously.

Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Wang Xinran, pulled out his pistol and stuffed it into Zhao Ying's hand.

Zhao Ying gave Wang Xinran a cold look, loaded the gun, and put the pistol on her waist.

Lin Qingming had been watching with cold eyes when the accident happened. It wasn't until the dust settled that he asked Wu Zhongyuan, "Who are they?"

"Official people," Wu Zhongyuan said, "They asked me to help them find things."

"Not doing your job properly." Lin Qingming looked serious.

Wu Zhongyuan was speechless and could only change the topic, "Brother, take a rest first."

Lin Qingming's eyes swept over the faces of Wang Xinran and Yang Yi, then walked to Zhao Ying and stood with her, silently stating his position.

Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at Wang Xinran. He did not blame Wang Xinran. Wang Xinran was actually cooperating with him, seizing the opportunity, creating conflicts, and paving the way for his subsequent transformation.

What is tacit understanding? This is tacit understanding. Familiarity is not the root of tacit understanding, intelligence is. Tacit understanding can only happen between two smart people.

Lin Qingming didn't talk much. It was inconvenient for him to speak when outsiders were present. He didn't say much to Wu Zhongyuan. After asking about the situation below, he nodded slowly, "Let's go, get down..."
