Chapter 31 Mysterious Prisoner

"It's a good time to commit murder on a night when the moon is dark and the wind is high." The gold coin stood on the wall of the Temple of Liberty and waved to us. "No one, hurry up."

A few of us jumped onto the wall very lightly, and then our figures were already inside the wall in a flash. According to the original design route, we should be in an unguarded warehouse area now. This place seems to be used to store junk, so no one will pay attention to the situation here. Quickly move to the wall of this small courtyard. From here, you can see a large number of people, but they are all non-combatants. There is a rockery near the courtyard wall. According to the intelligence, it should be a hidden pile.

I gestured to Ling'er, then pointed to the rockery: "Leave it to you."

Ling'er nodded, and the figure appeared next to the rockery in a flash. Then he pressed on the rockery, and suddenly several holes in the rockery began to spray smoke outwards, and it was the kind of pink smoke, with a strong The smell of blood. Ling'er made an OK gesture to us, and we immediately arrived at her side.

"Have you killed the secret sentry inside?"

Ling'er nodded: "It's already turned into blood foam."

"It's really awesome!"

"Hush, there's someone coming over there." The gold coins hid the two of us behind the rockery.

A patrol came from the front, but their patrols were widely spaced, so we didn't touch them. After the patrol left, we quickly rushed forward and soon passed the outer area and entered the core area of ​​the temple. From here on, the mission becomes a little more difficult, because it is very close to the target. There are patrolling guards everywhere, and there are countless open and secret sentries.

A patrol team of seven people just passed in front of us, and another team immediately came over from the other direction. There is no way to attack with such a high density.

I carefully summoned Yeyue, and then made a silent gesture to her. Yeyue nodded. Come with me and peek out from behind the hiding place plants. Ling'er seemed to be very interested in Yeyue I summoned, and she kept staring at Yeyue's tail for a long time.

Yeyue and I discussed in a low voice: "When the team comes over later, can you use the Eye of Petrification to petrify all seven people at once?"

"It may be a bit difficult!" Yeyue said to me: "If we start petrifying two by two from the back, it should be no problem."

"What if the person in front discovers us if we are in a group of two?"

"Petrified and there is no sound, the people in front won't be so alert, right?" Yeyue said: "Again..." Yeyue suddenly screamed, and I was so frightened that I quickly reached out and covered her mouth. Yeyue pulled my hand quickly and turned to look at Ling'er: "Why are you 'touching' my waist?"

Not only did Ling'er not have the consciousness to make a mistake, she actually stretched out her hand to 'touch' Yeyue's waist. "Are you really a snake demon?"

"What snake demon? I am the Nuwa God Clan."

"Are they all the same?" Ling'er said seriously: "It's so rare. I thought there was only one descendant of your clan left, but I saw another one with such a perfectly developed branch. Your body seems to have very strong strength. , you should have a good foundation. If you exercise well, you will be as strong as Nuwa."

"Shh, now is not the time to discuss the Gods. There are people everywhere. It's better to think about how to get there."

Zhenhong suddenly asked: "Ziri, don't you have a demon pet that can dig holes? How about digging a tunnel?"

"It's impossible. Forget it if it's in a normal place. This is an area blocked by divine power. There are as many masters as dogs. We are digging holes underground. Others can't hear the movement. Could it be that the gods can't hear it either?"

"Then let's move forward bit by bit according to the original plan!"

In fact, the plans Rose and the others have made for us are quite detailed. It will be very simple as long as we follow the plan. Yeyue used her petrification technique's silent specialty and cooperated with our various methods to easily 'touch' the Statue of Liberty.

I have seen the Statue of Liberty in the United States in real life. If you get close, it looks relatively tall. However, in reality, the Statue of Liberty in the sculpture mainly embodies that kind of firm belief, so the expression is very sacred. Although the one in front of us is much taller than the one in reality, its appearance is completely different. The Statue of Liberty in this sculpture is not wearing a robe, but a kind of light armor. Her appearance has been modified to be much more beautiful than the sculpture in reality. In reality, the Statue of Liberty looks like a middle-aged woman over thirty, but this one is completely a young woman in her mid-twenties. Even the Statue of Liberty's most famous Liberty Torch has turned into a battle staff with a torch-like top, while the Book of Liberty held in the other hand has turned into an attack book with a pentagram engraved on the cover. Spell book.

"What an arrogant look." Kristina looked at the sculpture and said.

Zhenhong pointed at the bottom of the sculpture: "Rather than the shape of that thing, I want to know what it is?"

"Strange, why are there so many guards?" I was surprised to find that there were actually three hundred armed guards standing next to the sculpture base that should have been unguarded.

"There are guards outside the intelligence. It's not easy to deal with now." Jin Coin said: "How about we summon a magic pet to lure people away?"

"I'm afraid this can't be done, right?" Zhenhong asked.

I shook my head: "Drawing these people away means there will be some movement. The result will only be attracting more guards, which will make things more troublesome later on."

"Why don't you try using my illusion technique?" Ling'er suggested.

"Don't even think about it." I shook my head and said, "The Statue of Liberty is not so stupid that she doesn't even set up an anti-invisibility array at her headquarters. Your illusion only targets people. It is definitely useless against these arrays."

"What should we do?"

"Go from above." I pointed to the top of my head. "The sky is the safest place now. As long as we use illusion and tranquility, and then slide over their heads, there should be no problem."

"good idea."

At my suggestion, Ling'er added a transformation illusion for us. Anyone who finds us will regard us as a few birds, so that even if an expert discovers the changes in the airflow caused by us, they will not be suspicious. After using the illusion, we took off separately, but we didn't dare to summon the messy magic pets. I flew with my own wings, holding True Red in my arms. Kristina and Noreen rode my night shadow together. Ling'er can fly by itself. I also took the gold coins with me. Our three flying units made no sound when flying. It's easier to sneak in this way. The spear is fast enough, but the sound is too loud.

Let's go up vertically first. Then he tried not to flap his wings and glided directly to the sculpture, then landed on the top of the cornerstone. Below are the three hundred guards, but at this time their backs are to this side. So no one noticed us.

I made a silent gesture, then lightly floated to the ground, waving to the top. The gold coins jumped down one by one, and I caught them one by one and put them slowly on the ground, trying not to make any noise. After everyone landed, I took them into the interior of the cornerstone. There was no one here, but the problem was that there was a secret door on the wall. The red vase that was supposed to hold down the switch was placed in the center of the room, and the door was always open. There was absolutely no intention of closing it, someone had obviously gotten in.

When Rose told us to move the bottle back before entering, she was afraid that if someone came in and found the door open, we would know someone had sneaked in. But now the door is already open, and the bottle has not been moved back, which means it is a temple. Insiders went in here. I instantly thought of a possibility. That's the Statue of Liberty right down there. The three hundred guards outside might not be the guards protecting this place. They should be the bodyguards of the Statue of Liberty. However, because it was so dense that only the Statue of Liberty could enter, the guards were waiting outside.

No matter what, the rescue operation must not be given up. I signaled them to move quickly, and everyone carefully sneaked to the door. After the secret door is a long tunnel that goes diagonally downwards and turns a corner far ahead. This is the kind of place I'm most afraid of encountering. With such a narrow and long passage, there would be no place for us to hide if someone came up to us on the way.

Jin Coin came to my side and lowered his voice as much as possible: "Why don't you go in?"

"What if there's someone down there?"

"Then you can't stand like this, right?"

I thought about it and summoned the dart, and when I pointed in front of me, the dart immediately jumped out. The little guy moves so fast that even if he finds someone coming up, he can run back in time. The dart ran back within ten seconds after going down. I nodded and started walking down with everyone. Darts have seen everything safe below.

After walking down the steps for a long time, we finally entered the horizontal passage. There was a small room here, about one hundred square meters. This room is hexagonal. Except for the wall we came in from, there are three passage openings on each of the other five walls. That means there are a total of sixteen passages connected to this room. Except for the wall we came in from, there are another fifteen passages. We have no idea where this passage leads. It's not even clear whether they all have their own destinations or if some of them are traps.

no way. I had no choice but to summon Bailang, who was best at living in the passage. Bai Lang first smelled around the entrances of each passage, then walked back and said, "These passages all smell like someone has walked through them. If someone hadn't just broken in, it wouldn't be a trap."

"Okay, I get it." I turned to look at the others: "What should I do? Just take a guess or...?"

Jin Coin smiled and said: "Of course you can't guess. Have you forgotten what my profession is?"

"A thief and a Taoist priest, what happened?"

"Don't you know that Taoist priests can tell fortunes?" After Jin Coin finished speaking, he took out a copper plate and threw it to the ground. The copper plate did not fall after it landed, but rolled all the way to one of the passages before falling to the ground. Jin Coin pointed at the passage proudly: "That's it."

"What's the difference between this and making a blind guess?"

"This is a system skill." Jin Coin said, "My hit rate is as high as 85%. It can't be wrong."

"Then I'll believe you once." Zhenhong took the lead in walking towards the passage.

I didn't take back Bailang. With his keen hearing, we could easily know if anyone was approaching. Any small sound in this closed tunnel will cause a big echo, so Bailang can play a better role than on the ground.

After only advancing for more than 40 meters, the passage suddenly ended. There was a gate in front of it and a handle on the wall next to it. I thought about it and tried to pull it. The door clicked and began to slide to the side, and soon disappeared into the wall. Unexpectedly, there was actually a downward spiral staircase behind the door. After we entered the spiral staircase, the stone door slid back. But there's a handle here too, so we're not worried about that.

Go down the steps, and the stairs will end after a vertical descent of more than 20 meters. A similar door appears in front of you, with a handle next to it. I went up and pulled it, and the door opened immediately. Behind the door is a huge room, but it is empty and empty. There is a gate over five meters high and three meters wide on the wall opposite us. There are a large number of magic circles carved on the door, and there are also a large number of gems and other things inlaid on the surface.

We walked to the gate and looked at it for a long time. Zhenhong shook his head and said, "There seems to be no mechanism to open the door here!"

I nodded and said: "The previous door only acted as a partition, and there was no hope of blocking anyone. This is the real door. The door with so many good things is just impossible to open easily. Of course, it is impossible to leave a mechanism. Let you drive as you please."

"Come and see what this is?" Noreen suddenly called us over.

I walked up to her and saw that she had found a hole in the wall next to the door. This hole is in the wall, and is covered by a stone door disguised as a brick. If you don't open the door and look from the outside, you will think it is part of the wall.

"How did you find it?"

"I just leaned on it for a moment, and when I got up it bounced away."

"It turns out to be a flip-flop switch." I stood at the hole and looked inside. The depth of this hole is more than one meter, the hole is round, and the diameter is not large. Noreen, who had the smallest hands among us, tried to insert her hand, but she managed to get it in even though she barely managed it. But her arms were too short and she couldn't reach the bottom of the cave.

I cast a lighting spell on the gold coin and looked inside the hole. "It seems to be a keyhole inside. Even if I know how to open locks, I don't need a key. But how can I reach it when it's so deep?"

I laughed. "Hey, let me show you the special uses of the most awesome weapon in the game." I took out Eternity. "Eternity, let them see it."

"Look at me." Eternity began to stretch under the control of the sword spirit, and soon turned into a stick nearly two meters long, and the thickness was about the same as the hole. I inserted the ever-changing stick through the hole. When the end of the stick reached the end, there was still a half-meter-long section outside.

Jin Coin said in confusion: "Even if you can insert it, you still can't change the key?"

Noreen smiled and said: "You are so stupid. Since eternity can be turned into a stick, what's the big deal with a key extending from the tip? And since eternity can be freely shaped, it is almost a master key."

"Yes!"

I asked Eternity: "Do you feel what it's like inside?"

Eternal immediately replied: "Yes. It's very simple. The structure inside is just a very ordinary polygonal gear. There is no complicated structure. Do you need me to go inside and turn it into a key?"

"certainly."

"Okay, it's done."

I was about to turn for eternity when Noreen suddenly stopped me. "I'll do it. You don't know how many turns the key needs to be. Maybe this thing is password protected?"

"That's it." I let go and stepped aside.

Noreen grabbed the Eternal and twisted it slightly. As the Eternal rotated, she could hear the crisp sound of mechanical bites coming from the wall. It sounded like the equipment was well maintained. The sound of metal hitting was crisp and sweet. It took more than one turn. Noreen frowned suddenly. She reversed a little more, then moved back and forth in that position for a long time. Finally, he suddenly exerted force and pushed Eternity inward a little further.

Norin shouted before she could speak: "There is actually a secondary lock cylinder inside. Wait a minute while I change it into a suitable key shape."

"Ok?"

"Okay, it's time to transfer."

This damn lock is indeed very complicated. It actually has a secondary lock cylinder. Thanks to the eternity, it can transform. Otherwise, unless you use a real key, you will probably never be able to open it.

Noreen first twisted it clockwise this time, but she couldn't turn it at all, so she had to turn it in the opposite direction. After only walking half a circle, we all heard a very clear click, which obviously meant that it was connected correctly. Noreen pulled out Eternity and threw it back to me. The door in front of us banged, and then began to separate to both sides with a huge friction sound.

We all stood in front of the door. As the door opened, the scene inside immediately came into our sight.

Shock. We all froze at the door. The room behind the door is not big. The door is already an entire wall to that room, so the room only has three walls. Unlike the passage outside, this one is entirely made of metal, with no trace of bricks at all. There are many buckles on the wall of the all-metal room, and each buckle is connected to a chain as thick as an arm. The other ends of the chains were all gathered on a round platform made of wood in the middle of the room. There was a little girl who looked to be only 18 years old hanging half-way.

This little girl was suspended above the stage by a lot of chains. She had no clothes on her body, but she was covered with a lot of chains. There is a finger-width golden ring around her neck. The ring is engraved with dense magic symbols, and the surface is shining with light golden light. This collar is connected to eight chains, which are respectively locked on eight fixed rings on the roof.

In addition to her neck, she also had similar metal rings on her two wrists, but the gold rings on her wrists were much wider than those on her neck. The ring around her neck was only about one centimeter wide, but the pair of gold rings on her wrists were nearly two inches wide. Not only that, there are four chains connected to each of these two rings, all of which are connected to the iron rings on the roof. It is because these chains are relatively short that the little girl is half-suspended in the air.

We soon discovered that the rings on her arms were not just on the wrists, but there were also rings on the left and right sides of her upper arms, and each ring had four chains connected to the roof. In addition, there is actually a metal ring like a ring on each of her ten fingers, and even these rings are connected with chains.

In addition to her arms and neck, there is a gold ring nearly four inches wide around her waist. This ring is connected to eight chains, which are connected to the surrounding walls. There were the same metal rings on her thighs and ankles, which were also chained, but they were fixed to the ground.

There were so many dense chains that hung the little girl half on the ground. Maybe it had been a long time. She was no longer able to stand, so she could only let the chains hang her. However, the chains were not long enough. Although her feet could touch the ground, her knees could not. You can't touch the ground, so this position is actually quite uncomfortable.

This little girl doesn't have any clothes on her body. I don't know if it has been powdered over time or if it was not there in the first place, but judging from her hair, it is probably powdered, because this little girl who looks only ** years old has black hair. His long hair not only dragged to the ground, but even made a small pile on the ground. But despite her long hair, I noticed a few special things. First of all, I noticed that her ears were actually on the top of her head, and they were fluffy little ears that looked like cat ears. In addition, I found a tail under her body, a white tail with long fluffy hair. This should be an orc, but I don't know exactly what level of orc needs to be locked like this.

"This is too much!" Linger shouted angrily before I could say anything. "How could you do this to a child?" Ling'er angrily walked over to unlock the chain.

"Don't...!" It seemed that I shouted a little late, or that Ling'er didn't intend to listen to me in the first place, but her hand still touched the chain. Snapped! There was a sound of electric shock, and Ling'er was shocked and took a step back. The black chains that originally tied the little girl suddenly lit up with dense blood-red magic words. We only noticed the rings at first, but we didn't expect that the chain was also a magical equipment, and the level was not low.

"How could this happen?" Ling'er looked at her hands. She couldn't imagine why there was magic equipment that was so powerful that she couldn't even touch it.
