Chapter 1372 Armor

This scene immediately reminded everyone of the scene that happened in Fu'an Inn. The difference between the two was that not everyone died this time, only Gao Yanqing died.

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath. There was a faint smell of decay floating in the air in the room. It was the smell of lake water. He also smelled the same smell in his sleep last night.

At this moment, Gao Yanqing's face was peaceful, as if he was still sleeping, with his hands folded on his chest. The whole scene was filled with an indescribable weirdness.

Faced with such a strange scene, everyone slowly calmed down. It is common for people to die in missions. For the remaining people who did not die, the most important thing is to find clues to avoid repeating this person's fate. Later mistakes.

Undoubtedly, someone mentioned the dream last night. Li Bai hesitated for a moment, turned to look at the others, and was the first to speak: "Everyone, I had a dream last night. In the dream, all of us appeared on a ship. The ship was floating in unfamiliar waters, and water kept pouring into the ship. We tried our best to escape, and finally... the moment the ship sank completely, the world turned upside down, and then I woke up. "

"Me too, that dream is very real, real... so real that it doesn't even look like a dream."

The fat man looked at Gao Yanqing's body. The latter's remaining upper body evoked the horrific memories of last night in his heart. But at least in his dream, the Gao Yanqing he saw was still alive and kicking. He didn't know what he had experienced after they were separated. What.

"Me too." Zhang Qizheng nodded.

Zhu Jie leaned against Tang Qisheng, with a sickly pale look on his face, "The same goes for us. It seems that the dream last night... was by no means just a dream."

"In a sense, that dream is our real experience last night. If you die in the dream, you will be like him." Jiang Cheng looked at Gao Yanqing, or to be precise, at the beauty incense plants on his bed. "Those people at Fu'an Inn also entered such a dream, so they all died in that lake, Spring God Lake."

"The general's previous speculation was wrong. It was not that the water from Spring God Lake fell from the sky and poured into Fu'an Inn, but that the entire Fu'an Inn was thrown into Spring God Lake."

After a brief exchange, everyone was convinced that the dream last night was the key to all this, and all the information in everyone's memory matched up.

Suddenly, Zhang Qizheng turned around and looked at Lu Qin and Shaotong, with a questioning tone in his tone, "Where were you last night? In your dream?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene became weird. The people in Jiangcheng, as well as Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie all looked at Lu Qin and Shaotong. After all, no one had seen the two of them in their dreams. No.

Jiang Cheng had a bold guess in his mind that these two people might not have fallen asleep at all. If this was the case, then the most likely way was that they had a way to avoid falling asleep.

This is quite acceptable. After all, it has reached this level of nightmare world. It is also acceptable to have some talented and beautiful people among the teammates. You know, a ghost named Bai Yu was brought into the mission last time.

But if not for this, the situation would be complicated. What Jiang Cheng is most worried about is that these two people are related to last night's dream, and even the dream world is dominated by the two of them. This possibility is very low, but once it occurs, what will happen? The consequences are fatal.

Fatty held his breath, waiting for Lu Qin or Shao Tong's answer. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

Lu Qin adjusted her glasses, but before she could speak, Shao Tong got the better of her. Shao Tong tilted his neck, grinned, and said with a strange smile, "We are always by your side."

This sentence made Fatty's hair stand on end. How could he be around him? And if he was around, how could he not see it? There were so many of them...

Unless...unless Shao Tong and the others are ghosts!

But before the fat man could continue thinking, Lu Qin gave Shao Tong a hard look, and then explained: "Don't misunderstand me, what Shao Tong said is not accurate. Last night we also entered the same dreamland as everyone else. We were on a ship that was about to sink. Shortly after waking up from that dream, we accidentally discovered that the water there looked scary, but it would not drown people. So we judged that the way to survive was underwater, so we always lurked underwater. None came out."

"So you also saw us, but you never said hello." Yao Shunyu was making confirmation.

Lu Qin nodded, his voice full of seriousness, "That's right, we are not far away from you, but because things are weird, we can't tell whether you are human beings or those things pretending to be, so we can only wait and see what happens."

Thinking that these people were being monitored by Lu Qin Shaotong who was hidden underwater all the time, everyone felt very uncomfortable, but they couldn't say anything more. After all, in the final analysis, it was just the observation skills of these two people that were better. Meticulous, if it were them, they would make the same choice.

Unexpectedly, Tang Qisheng suddenly got angry, "Miss Lu Qin, you said you two have been lurking underwater, but Zhu Jie and I have been diving for a long time, so why didn't we see you?"

"Hey, how dare you two guys see it? If I were seen by you, maybe I would follow in the footsteps of that unlucky guy!" Shao Tong raised his eyebrows and looked at Gao Yanqing with an exaggerated expression. The bed, the half of the body was still lying on the bed, exuding a strange smell.

Zhu Jie's face changed slightly after hearing this, but he quickly adjusted himself, took a step towards Shao Tong, and said righteously: "What do you mean by this?"

"It's boring, it's boring, don't get excited, hehehe... I just said that, why are you so excited, as if I have caught you with something." Shao Tong narrowed his eyes, his expression became more exaggerated, as if it was fun to irritate the other party.

However, Shao Tong's actions did focus everyone's attention on Zhu Jie and Tang Qisheng. In the end, Zhang Qizheng stepped forward and made peace. "Mr. Tang, Miss Zhu, we had a clear division of labor at the time. Mr. Jiang Cheng and I left to search upstairs, and Gao Yanqing stayed with you."

"Anyone can die in such a world. He can only blame himself for his bad luck, not others. But now we want to know how he died. This is related to whether all of us can have a chance to survive when we encounter such a situation next time."

Tang Qisheng smiled and nodded, and used his arms to bring Zhu Jie back to his side. "Sorry, Zhu Jie was too excited. We also know that Mr. Shao Tong has no ill intentions, but there is a problem with his expression."

"We are also responsible for Gao Yanqing's death. We found the danger, but before we could notify him, he sank into the water."

Tang Qisheng sighed and briefly told everyone what happened last night. Of course, it was deleted and modified, especially covering up the part where Zhu Jie pretended to be a ghost to scare Gao Yanqing.

Tang Qisheng spoke very slowly. As he spoke, he smiled and looked at the situation of Shao Tong and Lu Qin. He judged that the situation was complicated and the water was turbid. Even if Lu Qin and Shao Tong were nearby, they could not see clearly. As he expected, Lu Qin and Shao Tong did not speak again during the whole process, just listening to him alone.

But what disgusted Tang Qisheng was that Shao Tong, who was obviously not mentally normal, was always staring at him, staring at him intently. This kind of skinning and bone-digging sight made him feel uncomfortable all over and affected his thinking, but it also made Tang Qisheng clear that although Shao Tong looked crazy, he was very strange.

And he seemed to have some subtle relationship with the night watchman Lu Qin. Tang Qisheng couldn't tell why. He just found a little clue. Shao Tong was indifferent to everyone, but it was different for Lu Qin. After Lu Qin spoke, he actually chose to shut up and listen quietly.

And Lu Qin seemed to be trying to protect him in front of everyone.

Soon, Tang Qisheng explained the whole story. "Everyone, is there anything I haven't explained clearly?" Tang Qisheng's tone was very natural.

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng walked over, bent down, and carefully looked at the body on the bed. The body was broken from the waist. The huge wound at the break was not smooth, and the nearby skin and flesh were scattered. Jiang Cheng's first feeling was that it was torn apart by a huge force.

At the same time, the position slightly above the break was covered with traces of pulling, and there were also sharp scratches. Judging from the arrangement of the traces, it was grabbed by someone's hand, not just one person, one pair of hands, there should be many, many hands. Such a picture emerged in his mind. Gao Yanqing was grabbed by countless hands underwater. He struggled desperately and stalemated for a moment. Finally, with a "squeak--", a huge force directly tore him apart, and the bright red blood instantly dyed the lake red.

"Huh?"

Jiang Cheng glanced over and suddenly found something exposed under Gao Yanqing's palm.

Because Gao Yanqing put his hands together and placed them on his chest steadily, and because of the pressure from his hands and the angle, he was not discovered at the first time.

After removing Gao Yanqing's hand, Jiang Cheng was surprised to find that the thing underneath was actually a fragment of armor. The fragment was composed of several pieces of armor, which were connected together with threads, but from the perspective of workmanship, it was still fine.

"What is this?" The fat man came up and widened his eyes. "Is it armor?"

Zhang Qizhen also stepped forward at this moment, staring at the fragments, with a strange emotion flashing in his eyes, "It seems to be a fragment of armor from this era, but how did this thing end up in Gao Yanqing's hands?"

Zhu Jie lowered his voice and asked, "Could it be that Gao Yanqing tore it off from them last night after he encountered those things?"

This guess was recognized by everyone, and Tang Qisheng immediately threw out another picture. Last night, after Jiang Cheng and Zhang Qizhen left, a large number of black shadows appeared behind those doors. Those shadows were tall, short, fat and thin, slapping the doors, crying and shouting fiercely, and judging from the sound, there were men, women, old and young. The terrifying scene was like hell on earth. Even now, Zhu Jie and Tang Qisheng were still frightened.

Thinking of those doors, everyone temporarily put aside Gao Yanqing's matter. The armor fragments were naturally collected by Jiang Cheng. After all, he was the first to discover it, and no one raised any objections.

After going downstairs, everyone immediately came to the front hall. Li Bai pursed his lips and stared at an ordinary wall with several landscape paintings hanging on it. "Sure enough, those doors last night were all fake!"

Since the door was fake, the thing behind the door was naturally a ghost. If they were tricked into opening the door at that time, then they would all die on the spot.

Before they continued to explore, suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded, the sound of heavy boots hitting the ground, and at the same time, there was the friction between armor.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and the scene that came into view shocked everyone. More than a dozen soldiers wearing simple armor and holding shields blocked the door, and behind the heavy protection, stood a general in armor.

The whole scene gave people the feeling of facing a great enemy.

The moment he saw Jiang Cheng and the others, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, "Masters, are you...are you okay?"

The voice was naturally from the general, the general who led them to investigate Fu'an Inn yesterday and arranged for them to stay here. Judging from the voice alone, the other party did not think they could survive.

Zhang Qizheng laughed instead of getting angry: "General, what are you talking about? We are staying here according to the general's arrangement. Could something weird happen?"

The armored general was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and smiled awkwardly: "What are you talking about, but there is news from Chunshen Lake that a corpse was found. According to the description, it looks a bit like one of the masters, so I came to take a look."

After saying that, he didn't wait for a reply, his eyes moved around Jiang Cheng and the others, and suddenly asked: "Masters, why are there only 9 people left? When I came to pick up the masters yesterday, I remember there were 10 people."

"The 10th person died, and the body is still upstairs. Do you want to take a look, general?" Yao Shunyu was not interested in the general, and his words were not flat.

"May I ask if there is a corpse upstairs?" the general asked cautiously.

"Yes, only half of the body is left." The fat man did not shy away, stretched out his hand and scratched his waist, "From here on, the lower half of the body is gone, and the bed is still full of water."

Jiang Cheng and his companions obviously noticed that when he heard the word "water", the general's pupils moved suddenly, and his breathing became rapid, "It's the water from the Spring God Lake again, right? This time there is only water on the bed?"

Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement, but his answer was more detailed, "For the time being, it seems so. We just came down and haven't checked other places in the yard yet."

"Don't bother you masters, we can do it for you." The general waved his hand, and more than a dozen soldiers dispersed, several people in a team, and began to search in various directions.

After the shield formation dispersed, everyone saw that there was another team behind the general, and everyone was in mourning.
