Chapter 892: Being Clever but Being Misled by Cleverness

Zhang Heng used the fastest speed to get rid of the male priest who came out to release the water, and then came to the door of the temple and took a look inside.

Unlike the darkness in the Temple of Jupiter, the Temple of Juno was brightly lit.

Zhang Heng saw two followers helping a male priest sort out something, which should be valuable information obtained from the mouths of those children just now.

The location of the three people was a little far away from the gate. Zhang Heng estimated that it would be difficult for him to reach the three of them before the other party noticed, so Zhang Heng took off the [Plague Bone Bow] on his back.

The first arrow accurately hit the throat of a follower. Before the follower could say a word, his body slid down the marble pillar behind him. Another follower beside him was awakened by the sound of the arrow entering his body and pulled out He picked up the weapon and opened his mouth to warn loudly, but he didn't expect that he would follow in his companions' footsteps. The second arrow came much faster than he expected and pierced his heart directly.

In order to get rid of these two followers in the shortest time, Zhang Heng used ordinary arrows for the first arrow, and [Parris' Arrow] for the second arrow. He just took a casual aim and released it immediately. After opening his finger, the automatic hit function of [Parris' Arrow] took effect the next moment, and he corrected his flight route.

But when the two attendants fell down, the priest who was immersed in sorting the papyrus realized something and raised his head. As a result, Zhang Heng's Persian sword was already placed on his neck.

"Where is Otrus?" Zhang Heng asked in a low voice.

"Who?" The priest looked a little panicked, "I don't know about Otrus. This is the temple of Queen Juno. We don't have much money. If you want to rob someone, you should go to the nobles down the mountain."

"You know I'm not here for the money." Zhang Heng said.

However, as soon as he finished saying this, he heard footsteps coming from behind the statue room again.

There was a hint of joy on the priest's face, knowing that someone was coming this way, and the man in black's stealth journey would probably end here.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Heng reacted quickly when he heard the footsteps and directly pushed the Persian sword in his hand into his neck. The priest looked at the blood coming out of his throat and seemed a little unbelievable. .

Zhang Heng was already standing sideways outside the entrance of the corridor.

The owner of the footsteps saw the priest covering his neck before he left the corridor, so he subconsciously wanted to walk in to see clearly what was going on, but he saw a figure plunge into his arms, Zhang Heng also used this leap to insert a dagger into the heart of the visitor.

So far, he has defeated five enemies, basically within one move, trying his best not to let the dead make too much noise and be discovered.

It's not that Zhang Heng suddenly wanted to pursue a five-star achievement of sneaking through the game on a whim, but because he knew that there was a secret passage in Otrus that led directly to Commodus's study, and the other end of the secret passage was probably also connected. Looking at the temple, Zhang Heng didn't know if there were any other exits along the way.

In order to avoid causing trouble for himself as much as possible, Zhang Heng certainly hoped to solve this trouble before Ortrus got into the secret passage, so he chose the stealth fighting method.

So far the progress has been going smoothly. Although the male priest has not been able to directly ask the whereabouts of Otrus, fortunately the temple is not particularly big. Zhang Heng put it away and took back the [Arrow of Paris] ], and continued walking along the corridor.

The oil lamp on the stone wall of the corridor was not as bright as in the hall outside. It cast Zhang Heng's shadow on the wall, shaking and looking a bit eerie.

In particular, there are one or two stone chambers appearing around it every now and then. They look to be quite old. They should be the rooms where the priests lived hundreds of years ago. However, the temple has been expanded several times, and now the priests have new residences. , this has become a place for storing files and sundries.

However, Zhang Heng walked for a while and found something wrong. First of all, he had walked a long way and could feel that the terrain was getting lower. Secondly, there were many more stone chambers here than the Jupiter Temple next door. , and many of the stone chambers are connected to each other, like a maze, so Zhang Heng had to pay attention to note down the path he took when searching.

But with a loud rumbling sound, Zhang Heng looked back and found that a huge boulder suddenly appeared on the road he came from.

At the same time, Otrus' voice also sounded behind him.

"Who sent you to kill me?"

Zhang Heng turned around and looked at the place where the sound came from, but there was just a stone wall with no figure. At the same time, Ortrus's sneer sounded again, "Don't waste your efforts, you can't see me." , do you know where this place is?"

"I would like to hear the details." Zhang Heng said as he walked to the stone wall and looked up at it.

"This is Hades," Otrus's voice sounded a bit gloomy, "Except for people like me who have died once, other living people will never be able to get out when they come here..."

"Ha." Zhang Heng knew that Hades was not just in mythology. There was actually a Hades in the Roman Forum.

Right next to the gilded pillar that symbolized the beginning of all roads, there was a small building, the upper part of which the Romans called the umbilical cord, and the lower part which was Hades. People in Rome believed that the world of the living on earth and the world of the dead underground were connected through a crack. There were three days a year when Hades would open its doors, and these days were also regarded as unlucky days.

But of course Zhang Heng would not believe these things. He quickly found what he was looking for on the stone wall. It was a copper pipe hidden in the cracks of the stone. Otrus relied on this copper pipe. Let your own voice come through, and pretend to be a ghost in conjunction with the underworld's stunt.

Zhang Heng leaned close to the copper pipe and muttered a few vague words. He knew that at this time, Otrus on the other side of the copper pipe was most likely raising his ears to carefully discern what he was talking about, so Zhang Heng took out his dagger. , scraped hard on the copper pipe a few times.

Otrus on the other side immediately realized what an enhanced version of chalk was on a blackboard, and almost caused someone to vomit his dinner by this wave of attack.

Zhang Heng was not just sitting around and just causing trouble for Otrus. Otrus was too clever this time, but his cleverness led him to shoot himself in the foot. He wanted to use the name of Hades to add his own people. The sound of separation scares Zhang Heng.

I have to admit that his methods are quite powerful in this era. In addition to his homemade veritaserum, Zhang Heng even felt that Otrus had wronged him by serving as a consultant to Commodus. He should have been the one in the second century AD. An inventor or scientific pioneer or something who inspired all mankind.

But this little spark of thought in him was already at the level of the second grade of elementary school in front of Zhang Heng, who had received nine years of compulsory education and was baptized in science. Moreover, Zhang Heng could hear him speak through the copper pipe of Ortrus. It was judged that the latter was not far away from him.

Zhang Heng sent Otrus a set of sonic attacks in the hope of irritating Otrus and telling him not to rush into the tunnel and wait for him to come.
