Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 146 Ability Academy (32)
It seems that she hasn't fully accepted my new identity for a while, the leader said: "I can't wait any longer, the creatures of Pain Blood Origin have recovered on a large scale, Luo Zi's identity can't be confirmed for a day, and many decisions will be affected." Influence, so you don't have to hesitate anymore, are you ready to act?
Ah Xue was weird and didn't express anything. Could it be that she wasn't worried at all about the upcoming duel?My heart sank immediately, and I saw her looking at me with a strange expression, and suddenly she laughed strangely. Seeing this situation, the hairs all over my body stood on end, so it turned out that what the woman said was true.

But no one noticed this change in Axue. Their attention was all on the head of the regiment, asking various questions. Yang Chenglong said: "Boss Chen, although it is imminent to deal with Pain Blood Origin, but He Zhuang participated in the Battle of the Dragon Terrace." There is no way to force it, it has no meaning other than letting him die.

I suddenly thought of Fang Lunchun's prophecy. It seems that the head of the group will not agree with Yang Chenglong's opinion. Sure enough, the head of the group said: I have weighed this matter many times, and it should be safe. In short, everyone trust me, everything will not happen. If there is any problem, no one will die here, let alone him.

Axue let go of my hand and said: "Today depends on your performance. If you die, then everything will be over. If you survive, then everything will continue as usual, so I hope you can win the battle and get The due honor also makes everyone's efforts not in vain.

I thought for a while and said: Can you tell me who you are?

A Xue said in my ear: After the matter is over, if you are still alive, go to the cemetery and see, then everything will come to light.

Before I could continue to ask, she left me and walked towards the direction where the head of the group appeared. I was in a mess and suddenly lost my mind. I didn’t know whether I should call her back to ask for clarification. At this time, Ma Tianxing said to me: You should go up.

I saw a group of evil generals appearing here at some point. They stood in front of a stone pillar leading straight to the top of the cave, like a group of guards. Ma Tianxing pushed me and said, "Why are you still hesitating? You can hide if you want." not drop.

The various abnormal behaviors of Ashue and Ma Tianxing today seem to prove that everything that woman said is true. It is difficult to describe my feelings at this moment. After all, one is a comrade-in-arms who has lived and died together for so many years, and the other is a woman I love deeply. Is it true that they are all fake, but Ma Tianxing said that his grandfather's affairs are serious. If the principal is really a fake, isn't he afraid that I will investigate, or is he sure that I will believe him?

But there was no time for me to think about it. I was dragged to the side of the stone pillar by the team leader. He went back and took the illuminated night pearl on the ground. I saw a big hole on the stone pillar, and there was a bamboo basket inside. The group leader stepped up first, and said: "Come on, don't worry too much, there is absolutely nothing wrong."

I'm not afraid of death, but now I don't want to be a dead ghost, so let's continue, because this matter will not end, and I will never know the truth.

The stone pillar is very high, and the exit looks like a small dot. I saw a huge face full of scars appearing at the exit. Suddenly, I felt the bamboo basket go up. It seemed that he was pulling us, which made me dumbfounded. , the only function of such a primitive "elevator" is to be environmentally friendly.

The head of the group took out a small black wooden box from the basket. Because it was too dark inside, I didn’t see this box. After opening it, there was a piece of cloth inside. The head said: “It’s the abyss that pulls us up. They are human beings who specialize in living in the deepest part of the world. They are the same as us, except that they are much larger in size and can freely enter the dark alleys. They are the greatest source of coolies for yin and yang scholars, and they are loyal. The only ones who can be responsible are the warriors and priests who supervise Zhanlongtai.

I said, "Who is the priest? Here are just the two of us."

The head of the regiment smiled and said: That person should be me, but now you will be the one. I am the soldier.

I immediately understood, and said: I absolutely cannot let you go to die for me.

The head of the group said seriously: This is the result of my long-term consideration. It is the most appropriate way to do this. Luo Zi, no matter who you are now, you are still my little brother. I can't just watch you die.

I said: Now both forces need to use me, they will not let me die in vain.

The leader said: You are wrong, there are many people who want you to die, otherwise they would not have arranged for you to fight today.

I wondered: Isn't that what you said?

The leader said: I have no choice. If I don't show this attitude, I can't be a priest, that is, a person who accompanies the soldiers of the Tianling tribe. I have to die, then my efforts are not worth it.

I said: Captain, if I watch you go to die for me, how will I face myself in the future.

The group leader said: There is no need to put mental shackles on yourself. For you, many things may not be true, including yourself, just look at it. I protect you not because I am great, but because I hope you can Take on more important responsibilities than just being a fighter.

I said: But what else can I do?I don't have any skills.

The leader said: This is the most important thing I want to tell you. You must find the yin and yang scholar. Now the gloomy alley has already become a mess. If he doesn't come back, there may be bigger troubles, and you Out of his protection, everyone in the world may be your enemy, understand?

There is not much time left for us to talk, and the bamboo basket is almost at the entrance of the cave.

I seized the time to ask the last question: Where is the principal?
The head of the group hesitated for a moment, and before he could speak, the abyss pulled us out. With the light of the night pearl, I couldn't help being shocked when I saw him. I saw that his body was covered with small black stones. It is astonishingly tall, estimated to be about three meters long, one eye socket was black with nothing, the other big eyeball was covered with bloodshot eyes, and his facial features were extremely vicious. Fortunately, he did not stop and pulled us over the boundary marker immediately , Climbing down the huge abyss fault, although it is huge, its agility is no less than that of a monkey.

The light in the hesitating cave was dark, and I couldn’t see this weird human in a while, and the skeleton I saw last time through here was gone. The leader gave me a yellow cloth with a hat on it. After going up, I saw a layer of black mist floating in front of my eyes, and the regiment leader took out a wooden box from the stone ground in the middle of Zhanlongtai. The ground and the wooden box cover were full of blood. I don't know which soldier's blood was on it. After opening it, there was With a set of armor, his body shape suddenly changed strangely, and he became as fat and thin as me in a short time. The location can be changed at will.

When he put on the armor and the helmet, his face was immediately covered by a gleaming silver mask. No wonder he knew that he would pretend to be me without revealing his secrets. It turned out that he was in control of all the details. I said: "Commander, if you endanger you You can't hold on.

The group leader turned around and smiled at me: Don't worry, I'm not a fool.

As soon as the words were finished, there was only a clicking sound, and a person dressed in the same dress as the leader came over on the mountain road not far away. It seemed that he was my opponent today, and the leader whispered to me: You are the referee, The order to start the battle is issued by you, just light the torch, and don't show any flaws.

The person on the opposite side had already walked into Zhanlongtai at this time, he looked at the leader silently, his eyes behind the mask seemed to be bleeding, I couldn't help worrying about the safety of the leader, I forgot about lighting the torch, After a while, the leader turned his head and signaled to me, and then I came back to my senses. Just as I was going to the torch, I didn't expect that the man suddenly raised the long sword in his hand and slashed at the head of the leader.

The leader also drew out the long sword in his waist to fight. I have never seen the ability of the leader. I only think that although he is better than me, he will lose to his opponent sooner or later, because after several confrontations, he has obviously shown signs of fatigue. , the sword in my hand could not be lifted at all, and I retreated step by step. Although Zhanlongtai is not small, it is not too big. I retreated to the edge of the cliff in a few steps. My heart was in my throat. I just wanted to remind Captain, I saw him flashing to the right, and quickly turned behind the man, so that the positions of the two of them were switched just now. Big, the man had nowhere to hide, he raised his sword to parry, only to hear a bang, his sword blade was actually cut off by the regiment leader.

Reminiscent of the leader's affirmation of his own victory, I guess there must be a problem with his sword, and it is very likely that he has been replaced with a sharper blade. Otherwise, it is impossible to have the same material but one is cut off by the other. , the opponent was stunned for a moment, and the leader put down his kendo: Otherwise, you will lose.

Before he finished speaking, the man suddenly took out a gleaming silver disc from behind. It was the special weapon of the evil general. The leader flicked his sword, and saw the flames, the evil general took the disc in his hand, and turned over in front of the leader. Just as he was doing the somersault, the mask turned up to reveal his face. Seeing his facial features, he was stunned, and the head of the regiment couldn't help shouting: "You are He Zhuang."

Obviously his identity has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if the leader knows that I am the real He Zhuang, the subconscious reaction can't be changed at all.

He Zhuang punched the leader in the stomach, and then hit the leader's forehead with a silver plate. The leader fainted immediately. When he fell beside the Ye Mingzhu, the reflected figure looked huge, and He Zhuang turned towards me. Turning around, he said: "Pick up the sword."

I didn't expect him to strike such a heavy hand against the head of the regiment, but I suddenly felt relieved. It wasn't that I was sure of defeating He Zhuang, but Fang Lunchun predicted that I would die under the sword, and He Zhuang It's a silver plate in my hand, but why did he appear as my opponent, and where has he been these days?Before I could ask the question in my heart, he kicked the broken sword in front of me, then stuck the captain's sword on the stone ground, and walked towards me with the silver plate.

I could only muster up the courage to pick up the Broken Sword: Zhuangzi, our brother for so many years, do you really want to kill me today?

He Zhuang always said with that cool expression: Yes, unless you can defeat me, you will die.

I really feel that I am a little wronged. If I knew it earlier, I would not believe what the team leader said. I will practice below for a few days before I come up. Let alone defeating He Zhuang in a situation like today, I don’t even know the most basic fighting skills. What else can I fight?
He Zhuang didn't care about these things, his footsteps suddenly accelerated, and the silver plate was thrown out of his hand. I hit the silver plate across the blade like a baseball. He Zhuang suddenly jumped into the sky, took his silver plate in mid-air, Suddenly he jumped behind me, and before I could turn around, I felt a pain in my calf, and I couldn't stand anymore, and fell to my knees with a bang, He Zhuang walked in front of me, this scene was in line with Fang Lunchun's prophecy How similar, my heart became completely cold, and I began to despair, and then something happened that made me completely give up the idea of ​​living, because the silver plate in He Zhuang's hand began to grow longer, turning into a long sword Without hesitation, he raised his long sword and pierced into my heart.

At that moment, I just felt that the god of death had spread its wings to me, rushing to take me into heaven or hell, but what surprised me was that I didn't feel the slightest pain. Am I already dead?Probably not, because I can see that He Zhuang's long sword was stuck in my heart and has not been pulled out. The strange thing is that although the blood keeps flowing out, I can't feel the slightest feeling of liquid on my body. Could it be that all this is Illusion, but I was indeed beaten to the ground by He Zhuang. This is not something that can be done by an illusion. What about the long sword and blood? What is going on?

Suddenly I saw the figure of the leader reflected by Ye Mingzhu shaking constantly, turned my head to look at the leader who was lying on the ground, I don’t know when he had turned into Fang Lunchun, he kept making gestures, telling me to lie on the ground , My heart moved, and I immediately lay down on the stone ground according to his instructions, and the various mysteries these days finally figured out the moment I lay down on the ground, it turned out that this duel was basically someone asking for help I hide it from the world, because after all, this is the territory of the evil generals, and it cannot be fooled by some tricks. If you want to deceive them, you must have superhuman means. This is not only a plan, but also a specific method. Fang Lunchun is There is no one else to choose, except him, no one can do this, because only he can create a false but extremely realistic "He Zhuang".

So now there is only one detail that I have not figured out. If "He Zhuang" is faked by him, but the force that knocked me to my knees is real, how did Fang Lunchun do this?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to my mind again. The leader's ability is that his limbs can shrink freely. He can hide in the dark to complete this blow to me, and only his superhuman hands and feet can do it. Climbing up from the bottom of the mountain without using any tools, as long as he ambush in any corner around Zhanlongtai, he can complete the task, so the reason why He Zhuang is my opponent is very simple, because only this opponent will not betray I betray this plan, and when Fang Lunchun's "He Zhuang" disappears, the real He Zhuang is my cousin, and he will definitely appear on Zhanlongtai.

Recalling the words he said to me when I met the head of the group for the first time in the gloomy alley, that was the beginning of the plan. He had long expected that the headmaster would approach me as Ma Tianxing, so he gave a bunch of wrong information and let Headmasters who can control their minds "go wrong all the way."

This is really a perfect plan, perfectly fooling everyone and evil generals, and even making everyone who participated in the speculation and reasoning feel that they are right, and like Xianglin's wife chattered to me Seeing their "discovery", that woman, Ma Tianxing, and Axue are all like this. It seems that only I am the fool, and they are the ones who understand the most. Now it seems that they are also fools who have been kept in the dark like me. That's all, it's really ridiculous.

In fact, when I met Fang Lunchun for the first time that night, it was the beginning of the plan. What he showed me was not the so-called prophecy, but to tell me the most real planning process. I cheated together. Of course, it is not normal not to be cheated. Only a genius can conceive all of this, but even a genius may not be able to see through everything.

I finally fully understand why I came to participate in this seemingly inexplicable duel, because many people don't want me to be the principal's helper, so they need me to "disappear completely", and the principal can understand other people's thoughts, so Fang Lunchun left the Ability Academy with an excuse, and the group leader came to the gloomy alley with an excuse. They didn't want to betray themselves. This shows that there is something wrong with my "father-in-law". This can be seen from Axue's attitude towards me before. Maybe she thinks that I won't die, or maybe she thinks that even if I die, it has nothing to do with her. In short, her mission has been completed, so she can leave with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, I feel very uncomfortable. It seems that Zheng Banqiao's "difficult and confused" has become a famous saying. It is absolutely reasonable, and from today onwards I will disappear in this world artificially as a dead person. What is the reason for the group leader and the others? Why, I still don't know, but I know that a new page in my life has been completely opened.
