Doomsday Totem

Chapter 116 The Insect Flute
At noon, the aircraft landed in the wilderness not far from Iron Mountain Town.

Iron Slag opened the hatch, took a deep breath, and rode the red comet back to Iron Mountain Town.

Looking at the familiar neighborhood, a sense of kindness arises spontaneously.After more than two years of absence, not much has changed here.The street is still messy, scraps of paper are flying everywhere, both sides of the street are full of stalls, and homeless people curl up in the corners and sleep soundly...

He drove the motorcycle slowly on the street, looking left and right, like a business traveler who has just arrived here.

However, shortly after he entered the town, a one-eyed old man suddenly stopped his way, begging with his hands clasped together: "O rich man, please do me a favor, I haven't eaten for a few days..." As he said, The old man pulled a little boy beside him, and continued to beg, "Look, rich man, this boy is dying of hunger, please do me a favor."

Tie Slag frowned, and said in a deep voice, "I'm a clerk from Shacheng, please don't affect my work." While speaking, he raised his plain glasses.

Hearing what he said, the old man suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly pulled the little boy out of the way.

He twisted the accelerator and drove forward a little.He had seen this one-eyed old man before. He was as shrewd as an old gerbil, and he had been in Iron Mountain Town for many years.

When he passed the small clinic of Narcissus Doctor, he stopped, stared at it from a distance for a while, and then left quietly.After all, he is a wanted criminal in Yincheng, and there is no need for too many people to know that he is back.

It wasn't that he didn't trust this friend, but that the purpose of his trip was to come back to see Lina, to see if she was well, and to let her know that he was still alive.Perhaps, he was still looking forward to that warm embrace...

Unknowingly, he came near the Tieshan Town Self-government Association.Looking from a distance, the two-story building of the self-government association remains the same, almost unchanged, even the broken window sills are exactly the same as before.

The only change is that there is an extra statue in front of the door.Seen from a distance, the statue is a thin, tall old man.The old man looked up at the sky with his head held high and a big cloth bag on his shoulders.The cloth bag was so stuffed that something like angle irons and parts overflowed the mouth.

This is the image of an old man picking up trash that can be seen everywhere in Tieshan Town.At this time, the afternoon sun was so dazzling that the old man's face could not be seen clearly from a distance.

When he got closer, he was suddenly taken aback!This is none other than his adoptive father——Old Man Tie!

His eyes moved down quickly, and he saw the sign in front of the sculpture that read: Dedicated to our heroes!

Temporarily suppressing the shock in his heart, he took another look at the familiar face, parked the car, and walked quickly into the self-governing council.

There were still people coming and going in the office hall, and no one paid attention to his arrival.He lowered his head slightly and walked up to the second floor slowly.He straightened his clothes in front of the office in the middle, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door with both hands.

However, what awaited him was not a warm embrace, but an extremely strange decoration.

In an instant, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he saw a strange middle-aged man sitting in front of the desk.

Seeing him push the door, the other party turned his head and looked over.The eyes of the two met, and the middle-aged man frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's...no...it's okay, I'm sorry, I went the wrong way." Iron Slag suppressed the violent shock in his heart, answered in a trembling voice, and then pulled the doorknob and retreated.

A few seconds later, he left the self-government council with a disappointed heart.Stepping on the locomotive, he scratched his hair fiercely, his thoughts were confused for a while, and he didn't know what to do.

After calmly thinking for a long time, he decided to take a look at the garrison of Tieshan Town.He still has a few acquaintances there, and he may be able to ask about Lina.

After a while, he came to the station of the garrison.Through the guards, he learned a piece of good news that made him overjoyed!

Laodi is still there!And he is also the vice-captain of the defense team.This means that Lina has not lost her power, and she still has a firm grip on the armed forces of Iron Mountain Town.

Without the support of the garrison, the new sheriff in the office is just a puppet on the stage.

He breathed a sigh of relief, at least he would not lose news of Lena.

After a while, the guard knocked on the door of the captain's office with iron slag.Lao Di recognized Tie Slag at a glance, hurriedly dismissed the guards, pulled him into the back room, and asked in shock, "Brother Tie, why are you back!?"

Tie Slag grinned, briefly talked about his experience in the past two years, and then asked about Lina's whereabouts.

Lao Di said that when Tie Slag fled, the members of Lei Ling's family went to Tieshan Town to find trouble for Lina.Because they knew that Lina had a close relationship with Iron Slag, they repeatedly asked her to tell the whereabouts of Iron Slag.

In the end, Lina was annoyed by the question, so she rushed to No.13 Yincheng, and severely injured the head of the Lei Ling family's holy rank!Lao Di said that he never imagined that Lina could hide so deeply that even he, who gets along day and night, didn't know her true strength.

Later, the three holy ranks of NO.13 Yincheng attacked at the same time and besieged Lina.

Lao Di said vividly, the scene that day was really grand and magnificent, like the gods in the sky fighting, their figures were like lightning that pierced the sky, as soon as they fought, there was thunder and thunder, as if even the earth was trembling!
Lina is one against three and has always been undefeated.At the end of the fight, the leading priest praying for rain proposed a truce, saying that the matter would be turned over and that they would no longer pursue each other.

"That's fine..." Tie Slag couldn't help sighing.

"What else can they do, three of them can't win a fight, and if they fight any more, they will only lose to both of them." Lao Di said.

After returning that day, Lina called Lao Di to the office that night, saying that her strength had been exposed, and for some reason, she could no longer stay in Tieshan Town.Lao Di was a little puzzled, so he asked why.Lina didn't answer, but said that the golden sandworm egg had hatched, and she was going to the Endless Sand Sea to raise the insects and hide them by the way.

She also told Lao Di not to tell anyone.

Iron Slag asked why?Lao Di said that he didn't know, anyway, a few days after Lena left, people from the temple came, and he was also a regional archbishop!

The archbishop was very kind, unexpectedly polite, and only politely asked about Lena's whereabouts.Lao Di naturally didn't say anything, and the archbishop didn't make things difficult for him.Before leaving, the archbishop left a message, saying that if Lina came back, he would like to invite her to No.17 Yincheng as a guest.

After saying this, Lao Di took out a short flute from the safe and gave it to Tie Slag.This flute is made of stainless steel and is about the size of a cigarette.

Lao Di said that this flute is called "worm flute", and when it is blown, it will emit a subtle low-frequency infrasonic wave, which can spread to a distance of 5000 meters.Lina said that if Tie Slag wanted to find her in the future, he would go to the Endless Sand Sea and blow the bug flute, and if she was nearby, he would rush over.

Iron Slag put the insect flute on the necklace that Lina gave him, and then asked about the old flute statue.

Lao Di said that since Lina showed her extraordinary strength, the members of the Silver City Defense Team came to Iron Mountain Town and became well-behaved, like rabbits.And the arrogant and domineering arrogance of those Yincheng nobles has also disappeared a lot.

For this reason, the people in Tieshan Town wanted to thank Lina, but they did not dare to make her sculptures, fearing that they would be ugly and cause her displeasure.

So they wanted to make iron slag sculptures to please Lina.However, Tie Slag is a wanted criminal, if he were to make a sculpture of him, it would definitely attract grudges from No. 13 Yincheng and Lei Ling's family.Later, at the suggestion of Dr. Narcissus, after some intense discussions, they decided to make a sculpture of the old iron man...

After hearing this explanation, Tie Slag couldn't help rolling his eyes, saying that he and Old Man Tie didn't appreciate it.

Next, the two chatted about trivial matters.In the evening, Tie Slag bid farewell to Lao Di, and drove the red comet back to the aircraft.

Amidst the roar, the aircraft slowly lifted into the sky and flew to the far west...
