The people in Auster Company were confused at this time. One missing Aili was nothing. If one missing Shen... it wasn't that Shen was lost, but that the whole team was lost.
"This mechanism -" As soon as one of them spoke, the door of the mechanism closed automatically, announcing that the mechanism here was useless and could no longer be used.
The man paused, and the indifference on his face faded, revealing a complex expression that was hard to describe, completing half of the sentence: "He's pretty good at making trouble."
The captain rubbed his temples and turned on the intercom: "Shen, Aili, are you okay?"
There was a burst of noise from the walkie-talkie, which meant that there was someone on the other side, and his voice was most likely heard, but the reply signal from the other side was affected.
Several team members who had left the team before could still communicate normally. After hearing the questions on the walkie-talkie, some information was sent back: "Isn't it right? Shen and Aili stepped on the trap together? Can I still be found safely...
…”
"Zheng Zhan, please be honest and don't join in the fun." The captain also had a headache for the team member who responded. Like Shen, Zheng Zhan is a new team member on his first operation. His character has not yet settled down, and he has done everything he wants along the way.
Most children are curious and want to get involved in everything.
If Zheng Zhan's ability wasn't really effective in the Tomb Palace, he would have wanted to beat this kid to make him quiet down.
"Humph, anyway, I can take the right path on my own. Hehe, Shen is not here now, so maybe you guys will progress slower than me~" Zheng Zhan's voice came from the walkie-talkie. The timbre was distorted, but it was not flat.
It hasn't been weakened at all.
The captain and other members: "..." Although what he said is true, why can't this false colleague continue? Why bother?
“Forget it, what’s more important than Zheng Zhan is why Shen received signal interference.” Ling Heng is essentially a gentle person. When he puts away his gloomy mood, he is a very relaxing person.
Ling Heng knew that Zheng Zhan was also a deducer. The character of a deducer could not be found in this kind of deduction world. It was stupid to waste time on Zheng Zhan.
"What other reasons could there be?" said a short-haired woman in the team. "He and Aili must have fallen into the depths, somewhere where the power of the ghost Chenshu is greater. There may be danger, but since there are so many people along the way,
We believe in Shen so much, but the captain is still unwilling to tell us the real reason..."
The short-haired woman glanced at the captain, raised her lips, and said with a faint smile: "I believe that with Shen Zai, both he and Aili will be fine. When they get out of that range, they will definitely contact us, right?"
This woman speaks in a thorny manner.
But no one said anything, because what she said was true. Except for the captain, no one knew the details of Shen. In a place like Oster Company, where promotions are based on contribution, Shen was like a chopstick stirring the fish tank.
Disrupting their original order.
There must be people who are dissatisfied. Even if there is no dissatisfaction due to Shen's strength, there will always be doubts.
They wanted to ask the captain, but the captain always tried to fend them off by saying, "This is the boss's arrangement, and I have no right to interfere."
The captain was silent for two seconds: "In that case, let's keep walking. If it doesn't sink, we can't be lazy anymore. We all cheer up and prepare for machine detection."
…
In the dark space, Ai Li felt suffocated.
How to put it this way, she doesn't know where she fell now and can't focus on checking her surroundings.
Sliding down the sloping stone wall, there was friction and buffering along the way. She was not injured, but the weight she slid down seemed to be very light. After sliding out of an arc, it "covered" her body impartially.
Her first reaction was: It’s over, Shen is mysophobic, can he accept the current contact area?
The second reaction is: Should I push him away? Will he silence me after getting up because he feels unhappy?
This thought only appeared in her mind for a moment before it was broken by Shen's voice.
Surprisingly, Shen didn't suffer from mysophobia due to the large contact area. He stood up gently with support on the ground and stretched out his hand to her in a gentlemanly manner: "I'm sorry, I hit you. Can you get up?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Ai Li wanted to say that there are no weak women in the company. They all treat women as men. Anyone who goes out can kill a lot of ordinary people in an instant. Who can't stand it just because of being smashed? Ai Li held Shen's hand.
He used his hand to stand up and said, "You don't have to apologize."
She really didn’t expect that a man who seemed so aloof and unapproachable would not be so difficult to talk to. He was an unexpected gentleman.
So she became bolder and wanted to take the opportunity to chat: "However, you are much lighter than I thought. When you fell down, you didn't look like a person over 1.8 meters tall. Instead, you looked like..."
Like a hollow piece of wood.
"It's fine that you're not hurt." Shen took back her words and didn't answer her words, as if he didn't want to talk about this topic.
He put his hands back into his pockets and looked around.
This should still be a tomb, but without the luminous bead shining on it, it was completely plunged into darkness.
He has extremely strong night vision, but Ellie can't, so he still took out a flashlight and turned on the switch.
The moment the light came on, there seemed to be a rustling sound coming from the darkness, as if something was disturbed by the light.
Ai Li's hair stood up, and she subconsciously moved closer to Shen. The next moment, she saw Shen swinging the light beam around, illuminating a dense array of red eyes.
That is a bat hanging upside down on the stone wall.
The bat's eyes were locked on the two of them, its wings spread out, and its flapping sound formed a continuous and increasingly louder noise, which was simply more mentally polluting than a fly.
The bat also sensed the two of them. It opened its small mouth, revealing a few rings of fangs inside that could compete with those of the strange fish. A high-decibel cry came from it, making the two of them have tinnitus.
Ai Li frowned and felt that her eardrum was moist and warm, as if liquid was flowing out. It was probably because the ear hole was pierced.
But when she turned her head, she saw that Shen's face was even uglier than hers.
After all, her new colleague, Ai Li, thought that Shen was not too interested in this kind of creature, so she drew out her short sword and stood in front of Shen.
She noticed that the bats were flapping their wings and rushing towards them from the path outside the beam range, and said quickly: "It's a vampire bat, have you seen it? They are afraid of light. Please use your flashlight and I will deal with them."
Shen Youyou looked at the bats that were coming towards her without moving her steps. It was obvious that she was not afraid of them.
His voice was slightly cold: "A bat living in a tomb has at least thousands of unknown germs that can infect humans. It's too dirty."
Allie just cut open a vampire bat: "..."
Shen also added: "There is still their blood, there is no way to stop the splashing?... Damn it."
Ai Li: “……”
Allie is really speechless.
Perhaps this is the boss. Surrounded by so many mutated bats, all she can think about is whether she is dirty or not. Should she be thankful that she is still safe with Shen?
As if to confirm her thoughts, when the bat got too close and was about to touch Shen, a black mist suddenly erupted around Shen.
Thin, delicate and complicated black lines quietly crawled out on Shen's neck. Black mist penetrated from the lines, looking outward like tentacles. As soon as the bat touched this mist, it screamed and fluttered back, but still
There is no escaping the fate of death.
Shen did his job very carefully, and the black mist also surrounded Ai Li, being careful not to touch her, but creating a safe zone around her.
A pile of dead bats quickly piled up on the ground around the two of them.
Seeing that their companions were all corpses, the rest hesitated for a long time and flew away in groups.
Shen didn't make a move from beginning to end, and even the light of the flashlight never trembled. Ai Li was shocked to feel the gap between herself and Shen, and suppressed a sentence: "Too strong, is this your special ability? No wonder you
As soon as I come up, I will be appointed as the deputy captain of the operation by my boss."
This kind of aggressive range capability is definitely the most needed and scarce ability for the action team. Not only Oster Company, but also other forces will find ways to poach people or destroy him if they know of Shen's existence.
"That's right." Shen nodded. His expressionless face made him look very ruthless, but the actual words he said were reassuring, "It's a bit cold here. I can feel that part of the ghost Chenshu's power remains here. Stay here."
It will be affected after a long time, so let’s go first.”
Allie followed Shen away cooperatively, and she was also keenly aware of the little information Shen revealed.
She will be affected by the power of the ghost Chenshu, so she has to leave quickly. What does that mean - Shen will not be affected?
She became more and more curious about this person. The walking dead department was originally a department that explored secrets, and the secrets about Shen also attracted Alli.
Looking at Shen's body, Ai Li finally found a new topic to talk about to bring them closer: "I remember you were carrying a doll on your belt before, a male doll wearing a black suit."
When Shen paused for a moment, she then asked: "Why are you missing now?"
Shen seemed to laugh, it was as light as an illusion.
“That doll... someone wanted it, so I gave it to him.”
"Ah?" Ai Li was confused, her mind was spinning quickly, "Do you know anyone from other forces?"
What acquaintance would be coveted by a doll, a girl?
"It's probably not familiar now." Shen tilted his head, walked out of the bat's lair, and returned to a narrow corridor. He said while identifying the direction, "But I'll probably be familiar with it in the future... He once told a man who was full of swear words
He gave me a doll and told me that I must return the gift to be polite. Hehe, he is just like a robber."
“Hmm…” Ellie didn’t understand. She couldn’t understand the concept of a foul-mouthed doll.
Moreover, the words "now", "later" and "once" in Shen's mouth don't sound like nouns in conventional concepts. Instead, they have a special meaning.
Due to the chaos of time in the tomb, Ai Li easily thought of a possibility: "You have met in other timelines, but are you still strangers in this timeline?"
Shen glanced at her in surprise, as if he didn't expect that she was quite smart.
"Absolutely..." Shen didn't intend to explain further. A gentle but always smiling face appeared in his mind, and he murmured something in a voice that Alli couldn't hear -
"It's not another timeline in the tomb, but another world. He probably hasn't seen me now... Isn't it true that if I do this, it won't disturb the cause and effect? Forget it, I might as well find something for the witch to do.
, which will save her from nagging her every day.”
Shen is actually not as cold as he seems. Most of the time, he is quite approachable.
It’s just that the curse-like temperament about him is beyond his control.
He could feel that the air was filled with the breath of Gui Chenshu, and the straight line distance between the tomb passage and Gui Chenshu's body might be a little too close.
This greatly affected his perception, so he simply gave up and took out a small black cat from his pocket.
It was really pinched out. Two fingers came together and pinched the back of the kitten's neck. The little black cat let out a small "meow" and rubbed its eyes with its fleshy paws, revealing its dark golden eyes.
If Yu Xing were here, he would definitely be able to recognize it at first sight. This cat is exactly the "Doom" he saw next to the witch in the original version of "The Witch's Time Cabin" in Aliceland.
Compared to that time, Doom has grown up a little, the color of his eyes is very similar to that of the witch, and his every move is more humane and agile. He is very affectionate to Shen.
If Yu Xing sees this scene, he will definitely be able to associate a lot of information with the owner of the cat that the witch said at that time. No, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. He only needs to hear the word "Shen" to think of the two points in Alice Paradise.
In the zero version, in the story told to him by the old housekeeper, the "Shen" who set fire to Alice's bedroom and the entire floor.
Unfortunately, the information gap has been magnified to the extreme at this moment.
Yu Xing knew nothing about what happened here.
Shen put the black cat on the ground and pushed the black cat's butt with his toes: "Let's go, don't be lazy, go explore the way."
Allie has seen this cat before. From time to time, the cat would jump to Shen's shoulder to make a sense of its presence, but she thought it was just a small pet kept by a handsome man. After all, who doesn't have a quirk these days?
It is not incomprehensible to bring a pet cat into a tomb.
She didn’t expect that this cat was actually raised to explore the way.
The black cat really walked in front obediently, and the elegance in its steps seemed to penetrate deep into the bones. Ai Li and Shen followed the black cat to choose the path.
After walking for a few minutes, everything turned out to be safe. Ellie even felt that the coldness around her was gradually fading away, indicating that they followed the black cat and at least took a path away from danger.
She didn’t have a moment to rest: “Shen, your real name is Shen?”
Oster Company is a legally registered company, and every employee works by his or her real name. Aili, Zheng Zhan, and Ling Heng all use their real names, but one-letter names are too rare, and they don’t sound like normal surnames.
"No, it seems that the boss just called me that for convenience." Shen didn't care about this, "It's not a secret. My name is Yu Fengchen, sealed seal..."
I don’t know where Ai Li’s connection was wrong, she almost blurted out: “The ghost sinks the tree?”
