Chapter 1302: Confession

The subway stops at Line 6.

The expected strange level challenges did not appear. When the carriage door opened, Lin Nian, who was carrying a sack, smelled a familiar smell, the smell of blood, which made him feel more relaxed and relieved.

The smell of blood means fighting. Any level that requires force to pass is equivalent to a free pass for him. What he hates most is the previous quiz or maze-like layout. It is obvious that this is a means for the master of Nibelung to restrict him.

In fact, the level of the sickle weasel nest on Line 5 also limits Lin Nian's progress. If that level is running normally when Lin Nian enters Line 5, then the Texas Hold'em gambling game with hundreds of hostages as threats, no matter how good Lin Nian is, he will have to sit down and play two rounds of cards for the sake of so many lives.

So Lu Mingfei's overturning the table in advance was a convenience for Lin Nian. The mess left behind might be fatal to those who wanted to pass the level later, but it was basically nothing to Lin Nian. Instead, it was a free level.

Line 6 probably involves a pure force combat level. Lin Nian had this premonition when he smelled the smell of corpses and blood, but he still didn't have the chance to take the two seven deadly sins out of the sack, because the platform outside the door was full of horrible corpses with strange death.

Lin Nian disappeared in the carriage, and when he reappeared, he was squatting in front of a butterfly-shaped meat paste with a sack on his back. He looked at the corpse with a weird death for a few times, stretched out his hand and grabbed the bloody abdominal cavity of the corpse, and gently tore the meat paste to reveal the curled scales and the entrails with holes inside.

"Royal power?"

Lin Nian saw that most of the dead bodies were crushed by the huge force and exploded into mud. He immediately thought of the word spirit "Royal power". He had seen this word spirit in Yuan Zhisheng, the young master of the Snake Eight Clan in the Japanese branch.

In the domain of this word spirit with serial number 91, all dragon blood descendants will bear dozens or even hundreds of times the gravity, and even their bones can be crushed and their bodies pressed into the ground.

The caster can make some dragon blood descendants in the domain partially immune, but cannot completely exempt them from the effect of the word spirit. Due to the super gravity, even if the body of the affected person can withstand it, the blood in the body will accumulate under the body, causing brain blood loss and hypoxia (even blood will flow out of the body in large quantities). The affected person usually needs to use the posture of bowing his head to avoid brain blood loss, hence the name "Royal power".

Lin Nian had taken a hit of "Royal Power", which was released by the Dragon King. The feeling of having his eyes black was indeed uncomfortable, but the speed of his blood circulation and blood pressure after the third burst of blood could withstand the pressure in a very short time, and delay the occurrence of the brain's blood loss and hypoxia reaction as much as possible. It must be said that this word spirit is very troublesome, and any creature with dragon blood will be affected, regardless of the purity of blood.

"But I haven't heard that the Royal Power can change the direction of gravity." Lin Nian looked up and glanced at the butterfly meat paste on the ceiling. Whether it was the Dragon King or Yuan Zhisheng, there was no example of releasing the Royal Power to change the direction of gravity at will.

Lin Nian found the footprints of Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang on the ground. The footprints were very clear, and the forward route was stable, which meant that the bloody tragedy in the platform happened earlier. When the two of them arrived before Lin Nian, this place was already like this. It seems that they were lucky and saved a lot of effort.

So who was the person who opened the way for them? Could it be that some of the pioneers who invested in Nibelungen before the orthodox were really fierce enough to get through all the way to the front?

Lin Nian didn't think much, he took another step, and he had reached the deepest part of the platform. He noticed the open manhole cover, and jumped in without even looking at the depth.

The sound of wind, the smell of blood, the air flow whistling past his eyes when he fell at high speed, and finally landed, surrounded by the layout of the sewers, and corpses everywhere.

Lin Nian observed the surrounding environment and saw the bodies of the deadpools that almost blocked the canal. He raised the danger level of the culprit who caused all this. At least after bumping into the enemy, he didn't intend to get close to the other party easily. Keeping a distance, and then looking for an opportunity to kill with one blow might be the best way.

He naturally glimpsed the weapons pile in the corner that looked like the beginning of Left 4 Dead, but he had no interest in picking them up to play with. He followed the footsteps and walked straight into the depths of the sewer. Because the ground was covered with blood, Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang's footprints were extremely clear, and there was basically no possibility of losing them. This also made it easier for him to find the way, so as not to have to use Time Zero or Moment to use exhaustive methods to pass through the maze-like sewer.

Under the blessing of "Time Zero", Lin Nian passed through the sewer like a ghost. Even if there were surviving Deadpools, in their senses, Lin Nian's passing was just a flash of black air. Now, the individuals who wanted to capture Lin Nian's movement trajectory could only be the existence of the next generation or above, otherwise they would be beheaded by Lin Nian in a moment and they would not know how they died.

After rushing forward for a long distance along the blood footprints, Lin Nian released "Time Zero". It was not because his physical strength had reached the limit, but because there was no way to go ahead.

The collapsed rock and walls blocked the path of the footprints, and the surrounding sewers were also full of cracks as if there had been a major earthquake. It was obvious that something huge had happened here.

Lin Nian stopped in front of the landslide, reached out and touched the rock. With a little force, the entire pile of rocks shook instantly, shaking off the dust. Countless stones squeezed each other to fill the gaps, and a terrifying muffled sound was heard in the sewer.

Before the muffled sound became the signal for the next series of landslides, Lin Nian stopped exerting force on his hands. It was obvious that the front was completely blocked and there was no manpower to explore and dig out again. This was a waste of time. If he wanted to leave here, he would Have to find another way.

"Come out." Lin Nian retracted his hand and looked back at the woman who quietly appeared behind him at the intersection 20 meters away.

He had discovered the other party a long time ago, with a strong heartbeat. It was basically impossible to avoid his insight in a quiet environment like the sewer. He stood here with the intention of waiting for the other party to show up, even if the other party wanted to hide. , he will also take the initiative to come to your door.

Zhao Xinsheng.

Lin Nian remembered her name. The black outfit, the handle of the knife on her back, and her slightly leisurely pace all showed that she was probably the culprit of the previous Deadpool massacres.

Orthodoxy is really interesting. There are hidden monsters one after another. Until the end, who knows if the friend you talked and laughed with before is a secret weapon stained with blood?

Zhao Xuansheng looked at Lin Nian from a distance of twenty meters. This distance seemed to be a relatively safe distance, but she knew very well that once she appeared in this man's field of vision, there was no longer any so-called "safe distance" "If the other party wants her to die, she will die, no matter how domineering her speech spirit is or how fast the Yan Ling Saber behind her is.

"Did you take action against Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang?" Lin Nian asked, looking at her bright golden eyes.

Zhao Xinsheng did not answer.

No answer is the default.

The next second, her vision was in a state of confusion. Her balance, which could not be lost even if she closed her eyes and rotated for half an hour, was abruptly disrupted. The collarbones of her shoulders and one side of the arteries of both legs were penetrated by steel bars, and her entire body was completely destroyed. He was nailed upside down in the sewer two meters above the ground. Blood gurgled out from the gaps where the steel bars penetrated the body, and gathered on the cheeks along the thighs, abdomen, and neck, and dripped to the ground bit by bit.

She turned upside down and turned into a human cross hanging high up. Blood flowed down the wall like intricate winding vines. It was weird and terrifying.

Zhao Xinsheng, who was hanging upside down, wanted to say something, or chant the spirit of words, but her lips moved slightly, and the tingling sensation on the side of her cheek stopped her from speaking. Only then did she realize that her cheek had been pierced by a slender wire, and her mouth could not be opened at all. In an instant, all her channels for counterattack were blocked.

It makes sense that the clan elders are unwilling to meet Lin Nian in person. No matter how strong the Jingguan people are, the moment when the peace talks truly break down is the moment when heads fall to the ground. No one can resist "Time Zero" and "Instant Moment" at this distance. ” high-level owners, unless they themselves are also users of the speed speaking spirit.

There was no room for resistance. If you can't even react, how can you resist?

Lin Nian stood under the wall where Zhao Xiaosheng was nailed upside down, looking up at this woman. There was no nostalgia in his red eyes, only a cold and bone-chilling indifference. Very few people have seen Lin Nian like this, and those who have seen him are basically dead. This is his nature, cold and solemn.

"Since you want to die, I can help you," Lin Nian said. "The person who beat me dares to appear in front of me. Who gave you the courage?"

He didn't care how Zhao Xinsheng killed those dead waiters, because if it were him, he could do it better and faster than Zhao Xinsheng. It didn't matter to him what kind of speaking spirit Zhao Xinsheng had, but whether this speaking spirit had taken action on Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang was very important and fatal.

If those two people shed a drop of blood, then Zhao Xinsheng would be bled once.

"Both of them are not dead."

Zhao Xinsheng spoke. She ignored the iron wire across her mouth. Every time she opened her mouth to speak, the iron wire stirred the wound on her cheek and widened the crack, leaving indelible marks on her beautiful face. "They should have arrived at the next line." Metro line."

She had to state this because if she didn't, she would literally die.

"Your words have affected them." Lin Young said in a low voice, "No matter what the reason is, you need to give me an explanation."

If you don't explain it well, you will die here. This is subtext that doesn’t need to be spoken.

Zhao Xinsheng was silent for a moment and then said, "I'm looking for someone."

Lin Nian glanced at her, "The next 'Yue', is that Sima Xuxu?"

"My mission is to bring him back at all costs, and at the same time remove all obstacles that may become threats." Zhao Xinsheng said slowly, blood flowing from both sides of her cheeks.

"Do you think Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang might become obstacles?" Lin Nian said lightly, "Chen Wenwen and Sima Xuxu were together, and Lu Mingfei could have been your help."

"I can't take this risk. After all, you are members of the secret party and cannot be trusted." Zhao Xinsheng replied calmly.

Lin Nian understood clearly that all this girl's starting points were for the sake of orthodoxy. Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang, who met by chance in the sewer, naturally could not be regarded as partners for cooperation in extraordinary times. Instead, they would be regarded as unstable factors. , a hidden threat - who can guarantee that people from the secret party will not kill the future of orthodoxy in a closed environment like Nibelungen? This is something that cannot be guaranteed. Zhao Xinsheng will not bet, but will only rule out this possibility.

It seems that the importance of Sima Xuxu is very high in Zhao Xinsheng's eyes. Zhao Xinsheng will consider any factors that may harm Sima Xuxu and eliminate them one by one.

She didn't trust Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang, but she was concerned about some factors, so she didn't dare to kill them. She could only use violent means to expel the two people, blocking the possibility of them finding Sima Xuxu and Chen Wenwen in advance.

In normal diplomatic etiquette, this girl can appear generous and natural, but once she enters a situation involving clan interests, her starting point is always the ultimate benefit to the clan. She would rather eliminate one percent of the possibility than leave any hidden dangers. .

For example, Lin Nian who appeared in the sewer was also a hidden danger, but Zhao Xinsheng had no way to solve this hidden danger, so she approached Lin Nian. Even though she knew that she might die, she stood up and found a way to solve it - this kind of behavior He had the same intention as when Li Hueyue drew his sword against Lin Nian and Ange on the Monyach, which was close to stubborn loyalty.

This woman may be even worse than Li Hueyue when Lin first met her. Orthodox people have more or less something wrong with their heads.

Lin Nian stared at Zhao Xinsheng and frowned instead of killing her, because Zhao Xinsheng's words revealed a lot of information.

First of all, Zhao Xiaosheng obviously knew the way out of the sewer, but he did not take the initiative to go to the next line. He even expelled Su Xiaoqiang and Lu Mingfei from this place. This means one thing - Chen Wenwen and Sima Xuxu are likely to Hidden in this intricate sewer!

This conclusion can be inferred from the fact that Zhao Xinsheng's first reaction after seeing Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang was to expel them from here.

Although Lin Nian didn't know how Zhao Xiaosheng determined that Sima Xuxu and Chen Wenwen were hiding here, due to the intricate layout of the sewers, he didn't have enough time to search for the two people's traces one by one. It will be harder for him to find them in a short time.

He can't be allowed to run all the way shouting the names of Sima Xuxu and Chen Wenwen. Not to mention that under "Time Zero", his voice will be compressed into sharp sound waves that are difficult to distinguish. Maintaining this voice requires considerable physical strength. Even though he was full of supplies now, this was no reason to waste his energy wantonly before encountering the Dragon King.

Now Lin Nian encountered a problem. It was impossible for him to stop here to look for Chen Wenwen and Sima Xuxu. This was not the main purpose of his trip.

But now he couldn't pretend that he didn't know this information and go straight to the deeper parts of the Nibelung. If something happened to Chen Wenwen, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Lu Mingfei, and he wouldn't have the shame to see Lu Mingfei.

"Let's make a deal." Lin Nian thought for a long time, looked at Zhao Xiaosheng and said calmly, "I won't kill you, but after you find Sima Xuxu here, if Chen Wenwen is still with him, take her with you Leave the Nibelungen and ensure her safety along the way. I believe you can easily do this. Don't ask me who Chen Wenwen is. I believe that with the orthodox intelligence, it will not be impossible to find out that she entered the Nibelung with Sima Xuxu. As for Long Gen, she is just an ordinary person involved in the incident and will not be a threat. "

Zhao Xuesheng stared at Lin Nian's golden red eyes for a while, then nodded gently and replied, "Okay."

She had no room for refusal. From those cold golden eyes, she could clearly smell the breath of death.

There was no need for her to refuse, because this was her goal and the bargaining chip for daring to appear in front of Lin Nian.

Sima Xuxu is the treasure of the clan. She cannot accept that the next generation of "Yue" will be contacted by a core member of the secret party like Lin Nian in such an extreme environment as the Nibelungen, so she needs Lin Nian to leave here. But she couldn't kill Lin Nian, so she could only negotiate. The purpose of appearing from the beginning was negotiation.

Lin Nian's goal is the Dragon King, so his journey is bound to be tight and he cannot stay here for a long time. He cannot guarantee whether Zhao Xiaosheng will easily deal with the unknown risk of Chen Wenwen after finding Sima Xuxu. After all, the current Zhao Xiaosheng is purely orthodox. As a "tool", being cold-blooded and ruthless and solving all unexpected factors are necessary qualities.

Lin Nian was once a tool of the secret party. He understood how dangerous Zhao Xuansheng was now, so he needed to make an agreement with the other party to restrain this uncontrollable threat.

This was Lin Nian's consideration, and it was also the bargaining chip that Zhao Xinsheng decided to throw out from the beginning.

Lin Nian is a trouble that cannot be avoided in the Nibelungs. Instead of hiding and avoiding him, it is better to take the initiative to contact him and then negotiate to get a result acceptable to both parties.

"If Chen Wenwen dies in your hands or because of you, then Sima Xuxu will also die. None of you will be able to leave the Nibelungs. I can guarantee you." Lin Nian said.

"Okay." Zhao Xinsheng replied.

The two parties reached an agreement on this.

Lin Nian glanced at her indifferently. He wanted to know if the other party knew the information about the sudden deaths of the five clan leaders. If he knew, would he fall into madness?

But none of this was in line with his current interests, so he decided to conceal this information, turned around and disappeared.

The steel bars and wires that penetrated Zhao Xinsheng's body were also pulled out instantly. The whole body and the steel bars that were pulled out at the same time fell straight to the ground. His whole body was shaking slightly because of the severe pain and dripping with blood.

In the sewer, only the sound of flowing water could be heard. After a long time, Zhao Xusheng finally got up from the ground. She glanced at the direction where Lin Nian disappeared, said nothing, silently took out gauze from her pocket, took off her coat and pants, applied medicine, carefully bandaged the shocking wounds on her body, sat there and waited until the blood from the wounds gradually stopped before standing up and stumbling away.

She seemed not as strong as Lin Nian imagined. In some ways, she was as fragile as an ordinary person.
