Deviation: Expeditions of a Non-Human Group

Chapter 44 Missing Children (5)

"What episode?" asked the others.

Thinking of what happened in Lin Ling's room, Lin Xi couldn't help turning her eyes red. She shook her head and said, "It's nothing. Okay, everyone, let's hurry up and find clues. We don't want to waste a second now."

Seeing this, the others did not forcefully ask any further, and quickly changed the subject, refocusing on finding clues.

Chen Yi said: "Okay, then we are divided into two teams now, Yi Han, Xu Lang and I will observe other rooms, Lin Xi and Xu Yan will go to Lin Ling's room, search carefully again, and then open his The dark room. Ye Jinci and Ye Lingfeng observed all of our rooms to see if there was anything unusual. The team represented by me and the team represented by Ye Jinci both went to the forest Let’s gather in Ling’s room, let’s go to the dark room and see what’s inside.”

Everyone agrees.

Xu Lang took out a few pieces of paper from the tool bag he carried with him, on which he drew some terrain and other things here, which were very professional and meticulous.Seeing other people looking at him, Xu Lang rubbed his head in embarrassment and said, "When Lin Xi went out to find the antidote this morning, I felt that there was nothing to do anyway, so I drew these data maps casually. There are some information here, you can refer to it, I hope it can be helpful.”

"Wow! Brother Xu Lang, you are too thoughtful, you draw really carefully, thank you for your hard work." Lin Xi praised.

There were two blushes on Xu Lang's fair cheeks, which made him look even more beautiful. "No, I don't have any special abilities. The only advantage is some experience and professional skills as a policeman over the years. I am very happy to be able to do something for everyone."

Lin Xi patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Xu Lang, don't put too much pressure on your heart. We are a big family, and everyone is a member of the big family. Why do we talk about contributions or not?"

Afterwards, everyone quickly divided into three groups and went to the place where they were assigned.

The first is the group of Ye Jinci and Ye Lingfeng. The two of them have their own division of labor. One is responsible for finding things near the bed, and the other is responsible for finding other places and the bathroom.

After careful observation several times, the two found nothing. The three rooms were all clean and nothing special. They were just ordinary houses.

They first went to find Chen Yi and the other group, and checked the other rooms with them. Without exception, they were all clean, and there was nothing special that could be used as a clue.

So they went to find Lin Xi and Xu Yan together, and they got together again.

Lin Xi and Xu Yan first searched Lin Ling's room several times in the open places, but the result was no different from Lin Xi's not long ago, nothing.

"Then we have no choice but to find the switch of the darkroom mechanism and turn it on."

Lin Xi nodded, and followed the memory to find the range of the place Lin Ling encountered last time. "If I remember correctly, Lin Ling should be the switch that was pressed near here, let me look for it..."

This is a desk, which is filled with all kinds of valuable things and learning materials, as well as some antiques, some paper and pens, etc. Lin Xi lifted everything up to have a look, and touched the wooden boards under them. Find the button.Until I picked up an antique, the antique miraculously remained motionless and could not be lifted at all.

Xu Lang came over and said, "I see, the mechanism is on this antique bottle." Afterwards, he twisted the antique bottle a few times, and sure enough there was a sound of 'zi la la', and a secret passage opened accordingly.

"Maybe the dark room leads here!" Lin Xi said.

Everyone looked at each other, and hurried back and forth into the secret passage, there was indeed a dark room inside, the area was not small, and there were many things that looked unusual.

Yi Han touched the wall next to him, and finally found a switch to control the light. Immediately, the whole dark room finally brightened up, but it was so bright that everyone felt their eyes flicker.

They couldn't help but narrowed their eyes physiologically, and when they opened them again, they were involuntarily shocked when they saw the situation in front of them clearly.

It's not that this dark room is so special, that there is something unimaginable or acceptable, but...in it, there is Lu Yang, and it is Lu Yang who has been stabbed to death by Lin Xi with a dagger.

"Lu Yang?..." Yi Han's pupils shrank slightly, he stumbled forward, and then fell to the ground, looking at Lu Yang who obviously had no signs of life, his eyes couldn't help getting wet, and then A string of teardrops fell down. "What the hell is going on?! Why is Lu Yang here, and why did she die??"

The others couldn't help being frightened. Although they were hurt by Lu Yang time and time again before, but... after being with her for so long, she was still Lin Xi's best friend before. Why did she die suddenly, and she suddenly appeared in the form of a corpse? Appear in front of everyone.

Lu Yang's eyes were half closed, his face was pale, and his mouth had already lost its color. Only the blood hole on his chest was the most shocking.It turns out... was this normally flamboyant but lively girl just taken her life away?
They would never have thought that the person who stabbed Lu Yang to death was none other than Lin Xi.

"Tell me! Tell me! Why did Lu Yang die?! Who killed her?" Yi Han was about to collapse, as if he was hanging on a string. If it breaks, he will also completely collapse.

Lin Xi closed her eyes and said, "It's me."

what? !

The others looked at Lin Xi in shock, but there was no joke or other expression on her face, just a different sadness and pain from the past.

"What are you talking about? What nonsense are you talking about? How could it be you?" Yi Han's eyes widened and he said in disbelief.

Ye Jinci stopped Yi Han who wanted to pounce on Lin Xi, and said, "Master Pluto, calm down first, Xiao Xi must have a reason for doing this, why don't we listen to her explanation first?"

Yi Han gradually calmed down his mood.

"Lin Xi, tell me what's going on." Yi Han said.

Lin Xi looked at Yi Han, then at Ye Jinci, then at the others, and said hesitantly, "That's right, I wanted to go to Lin Ling's room this morning to find the antidote for Sister Ah Ci. As a result, when I was stunned by Lin Ling and looking around in Lin Ling's room, Lu Yang suddenly appeared behind me."

"She spoke very strangely, she didn't look like she was kind enough to help me at all, and she said something like 'it's not a good habit to start messing around and leave forever', as if accusing me of forgetting her after having good friends like you , but gave me the so-called 'antidote' and told me to hurry up and give it to Sister A Ci, it could cure her throat.

I was very happy at first, thinking that Lu Yang appeared suddenly, but he helped me so much. I just opened the door and wanted to run back to the room to take the antidote for my sister, when I thought of her abnormal behavior and heard her and Lin Only then did I realize that what she gave me was not an antidote at all, but a poison that could kill my sister!Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise it would be too late after my sister ate it.

After I listened to their conversation, I went into Lin Ling's room again. After confronting them, Lu Yang tried to put the blame on Lin Ling, pretending to be good for us, but actually wanted to kill his sister. .

So, I took out the dagger I borrowed from Brother Xu Lang before, pretended to stab Lin Ling, and when Lu Yang's defense was relaxed, I stabbed into her chest and took her life. "

After hearing Lin Xi's words, everyone finally figured it out, and Yi Han gradually calmed down.Indeed, before being purified, Lu Yang deliberately wanted to kill Lin Xi. Now he doesn't know why he killed Ye Jinci, but it is conceivable that this is indeed something she can do.After getting along with the purified version of Lu Yang for a while, he almost forgot that the most uncomfortable thing about Lu Yang before was viciousness.

Ye Jinci pondered for a moment, and said: "I have one thing, I don't know whether I should say it or not. But since I have encountered such a situation now, let me add something. The reason why I lost my voice last night was also related to Lu Yang .”

"What?!" The others were shocked again.

"Yes. That night, Lu Yang suddenly appeared in my room with Xiaoxi and asked us if we could sleep in the same room with us. I refused to kick him out, and then Xiaoxi and I fell asleep. Asleep At that time, I suddenly felt a surge of energy outside, so I got up and opened the door to look outside, and found that Lu Yang was arguing with Lin Ling, saying something like 'long nights and dreams' and 'endless troubles', so there is energy Fluctuation. When I went back to bed and wanted to continue sleeping, Lu Yang came behind me, immobilized me, and exerted force on my throat, which ruined my voice." Ye Jinci said.

There is such a thing? !

So, what is the background of this Lu Yang, why is he involved with Lin Ling, and wants to kill Ye Jinci?
Yi Han calmed down, and the others gradually accepted this fact. After all, apart from Lin Xi and Yi Han, they had no special relationship with Lu Yang.

After calming down, everyone checked the other things in the dark room, and found that there were only bottles and cans, some containing experimental items, but nothing harmful.There is nothing to pay attention to, isn't the clue also in it?But they inspected the whole 'palace' and found nothing special. Could it be that the 'fairy demons' are really innocent?Lin Ling is also innocent?So where did those children go, where did the treasure go, and how to explain some of Lin Ling's performance?
Afterwards, the crystal ball's 'Zi Zi' sounded again, and it was the news of the three elders.

Only this time, Lin Xi had just lost her best friend. She didn't greet them bouncingly like the previous few times, but greeted others politely and respectfully.

"What's wrong with Xiao Xi? She looks like she's wilting." Ye Xi asked with a smile.

Ye Jinci explained: "Lu Yang just passed away, she is sad."

Yexi pondered for a moment: "That's it... Xiaoxi, don't be unhappy, Lu Yang is destined to have an evil body, even if she is not stabbed to death by you with a dagger, she will not get out alive."

Lin Xi was taken aback: "What's going on?"

Ye already cleared his throat, and said: "This is not important for now, our current focus is to find clues. However, according to our observation and detection, there will be no clues for you to find at present, why don't you wait a little longer, now It's not yet time."

"What? Now is not the right time? But now the 'Fairy Demon Race' just went out to collect. We are the only people in the whole 'Palace'. Isn't it just right to investigate? I missed this opportunity, I don't know if the next opportunity will be in When will they go out to collect materials every day, right?" Lin Xi asked doubtfully.

Yedong shook his head lightly, and said: "No, what we are talking about is 'opportunity', and it can also be considered as 'time, place, and harmony' in your human world. Now there is only 'harmony', so, now You're not going to find the clues, and now is not the right 'time' for them to come."

Everyone sighed regretfully, finally reached the time when they could act recklessly, what 'opportunity' was waiting for in the end.

"Okay, then let's go first." Chen Yi said.

They helped up Yi Han who was already heartbroken but resisted not expressing his emotions, carried him out of the dark room, and turned off the light casually.

Xu Lang walked over and turned the antique bottle back a few times, and he closed the door of the darkroom as expected.

"Okay, now let's tidy up all the places we have turned over in this 'palace', so that Lin Ling won't see anything strange." Ye Lingfeng said.

So everyone was divided into three groups again according to the grouping, and cleaned up the traces of rummaging in the areas they were responsible for, and it became no different from the original.

Then, as if nothing had happened, everyone found a way to relax and pass the time in some places, pretending to be doing something that seemed normal.

When Lin Ling came back, Lin Xi greeted him with a smile and welcomed him back.The others also nodded to him. They looked like two groups of people who were very familiar with each other. In fact, they each knew that the other had some little things in their hearts.

Lin Ling seemed very happy, and shared with you the successful harvest of materials collected this morning, and then invited everyone to have lunch.After lunch, everyone was doing their own leisurely things again, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.After eating dinner and killing time, everyone went back to the room and got ready for bed.

Lin Xi was still sleeping on the same bed with Ye Jinci, and Ye Jinci said, "Don't worry, Xiaoxi, I must be prepared to go to bed tonight. We people in the underworld don't need to sleep anyway. It's just that advanced species still retain some of the habits of humans. Xiaoxi, you go to sleep."

Lin Xi nodded and said, "My sister has worked hard. If you are tired, it doesn't matter if you go to sleep."

However, when Lin Xi fell asleep, she suddenly heard a shrill cry of a child, which woke her up instantly.

She said to Ye Jinci with some fear, "Sister... did you hear some voices?"
