Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 62 Mural ([-]) Second update

The two of them had such a good understanding, it was inevitable that someone's foot tripped the other's foot, and the two of them rushed directly to the ground, fortunately the soldiers in front stopped them in time, otherwise they would have their noses bruised and their faces swollen before they saw anything.

When they stood up straight again, neither Gu Shiming nor Zhang Yuan dared to close their eyes anymore, what should they do?Once again, the two had a tacit understanding and wanted to go to one place, only looking at their feet, not anywhere!
The passage they walked was only more than three meters wide, and there were walls on the left and right sides. Which wall was hiding the treasure in Wu Chen's mind?The place where the treasure is hidden must not be small...

Wu Chen walked normally, and he poked the torch forward. Although he was thinking about the layout of the passage, his eyes were fixed on the front. Suddenly, a puff of green smoke appeared from nowhere, which looked like green smoke but was not like green smoke. The green smoke is invisible, but the things in front of him are obviously slowly taking shape.

Wu Chen sent the torch forward again, and slowed down.

A soldier behind him suddenly panicked and shouted: "Come out!"

Wu Chen yelled, he was afraid of shouting about this matter, and then he heard screams led by Gu Shiming behind him.

Wu Chen didn't turn his head, and continued to walk forward. The thing had already shown its shape, like a dragon's head, and the protruding long eyes seemed to be glaring at Wu Chen.

Wu Chen looked at the wall, where a green dragon and a white tiger could be vaguely seen...

Wu Chen snorted, ignoring that the dragon's head had changed into a tiger's head, and was opening its bloody mouth. Wu Chen went straight through the tiger's head and continued to move forward. He looked at the murals on the two walls with his head left and right. There are some portraits of people dressed in bright colors, like heavenly soldiers and generals, and hell judges, some are brave and sturdy, some are mighty and unrestrained, and there are also beautiful and talented girls standing in the painting.

The mural is exquisite and vivid, and the beard and cloud temples seem to really grow on the face of the person in the painting. Wu Chen couldn't help but stop and watch. Suddenly, the face of a general in the mural sticks out of the wall and sticks in front of Wu Chen. Under the skin, the eyes are mostly white.

Wu Chen had goose bumps all over his body, but he still looked indifferent, holding a torch in his hand and looking at the general.

Zhang Yuan had already collapsed to the ground, Gu Shiming grabbed a soldier in a panic, and stuck his whole face in the soldier's arms.

Wu Chen wanted to walk away, but his legs were not very obedient. He looked at the general and sighed softly. The general's face turned back, and Wu Chen was able to move on.

What Wu Chen didn't know was that he had passed by, and when the people behind passed by, the objects in the painting would come out again. The light brought by the torch was enough for people to see everything in front of them clearly, but they couldn't see the distance clearly. , the distance is still dark.

Gu Shiming had already managed to see nothing, but when he heard the screams of the soldiers, he would scream along with him, which was extremely miserable.

Wu Chen couldn't listen anymore, and finally turned around. He wanted to reprimand him, but the scene behind him made him swallow the words in his throat. Among the people behind him, only five or six people were still standing.

Wu Chen shook his head and asked, "See if Mr. Zhang can hold on?"

Zhang Yuan collapsed on the ground and was already at the back. If he was still conscious, he would not have left himself at the back alone. Wu Chen only took one look and felt that Zhang Yuan might have passed out.

Sure enough, the soldiers behind crawled back and pushed Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan didn't respond.

"Take out two soldiers from the back, and carry Mr. Zhang up. The others who can't leave, if they don't faint, go back too." Wu Chen waved his hand and said.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shiming left the soldier's body, raised his head and shouted: "I'll carry it!"

At this moment, in the mural next to Gu Shiming, a ferocious face with beards, red and yellow eyebrows poked out, and Gu Shiming subconsciously turned his head to look...

Wu Chen looked nervous for Gu Shiming, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, but Gu Shiming was beyond Wu Chen's expectations. Instead of fainting bravely, he knelt on his knees without hesitation, without even screaming.

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows, first looked to the back, the two soldiers behind lifted Zhang Yuan up as quickly as possible, and ran towards the entrance steps, not even torches, for fear that someone would snatch this task, how many more did they have left? People are climbing towards the steps.

Wu Chen shrugged, he could understand that if he was a beggar, he might not be better than anyone here.

Wu Chen walked to Gu Shiming's side, and let out a breath towards the bearded man, and the bearded man returned to the painting.

Wu Chen helped Gu Shiming up, and comforted him:
"You are already very good, don't pay attention to them, they can't come out, just get used to it after being scared, follow me, grab my arm, remember, you have tasks, Zhang Gongshi can't count on it Now, you have to sharpen your eyes to see clearly what this mural is about? Go back and have an explanation with Si Zun."

Gu Shiming's whole body was almost hung on Wu Chen's body, and he said angrily, "I, I'm afraid, I can't do it."

Wu Chen held up the torch and looked forward. At least for now, there are still murals everywhere he can see, far from reaching the end.

Wu Chen asked the soldiers: "How did you get to the end before?"

A soldier said in a trembling voice: "When you faint from fright, carry it out, and then another group of people will come in, one after another, and finally come to the end, we, we will run back like crazy."

"When running back, it didn't take much effort to get to the steps, did it?"

"Seems."

Wu Chen nodded, and said to Gu Shiming: "Try to persevere, don't embarrass the Gu family!"

"You, why aren't you afraid?" Gu Shiming asked with a pale face.

Wu Chen snorted and said, "I've seen scarier ones than this, so naturally I won't be afraid. Come with me, you boldly look in both directions, and if there are probes, I can let them go back. They won't be able to hurt you. You can rest assured."

Wu Chen dragged Gu Shiming, holding a torch and continuing to move forward.

From time to time, he comforted Gu Shiming, and when he encountered something sticking out his head, Wu Chen would blow on it, and the thing would return to the painting. Gu Shiming would still scream at first, but then it was just a short 'ah', Later, he didn't even bother to "ah", he asked Wu Chen, "What did you eat for lunch? Did you smoke them back?"

Wu Chen saw that Gu Shiming's spirit had recovered a little bit, and hurriedly asked, "What can you tell?"

Gu Shiming shook his head and said, "Just remember the probe."

Wu Chen sighed, looked back at the trembling soldiers behind, and said, "Go back, it's hard to gain anything if you look at it like this, go back and think of other ways."

Wu Chen didn't give up halfway, he could vaguely see the end with the torch, as for this mural, it was useless to him, and Gu Shiming's mental state did not allow him to be useful.
