Chapter 48 Because someone wants that doll
The people from Oster Company were confused at this time. One Ali was nothing. If one was less than one, the other... it was not that it was lost, but that the whole team was lost.
"This mechanism—" As soon as one of the people opened his mouth, the door of the mechanism was automatically closed, declaring that the mechanism was scrapped and could no longer be used.
The man paused, the indifference on his face faded away, and a complicated expression that was hard to describe was completed, completing the half sentence: "I'm pretty good at making trouble."
The captain rubbed his temples and turned on the intercom: "Chen, Aili, are you all okay?"
A noise came from the walkie-talkie, which means there was someone on the other side, and he was likely to hear his voice, but the reply signal from there was affected.
Several team members who had left the team could communicate normally. When they heard the question on the intercom, they sent some message back: "No, Chen and Aili stepped on the mechanism together? Then can I be found safely..."
"Zheng Zhan, be honest and don't join in the fun." The captain also had a headache with the team member who replied. Like Chen, Zheng Zhan is a new team member in the first time to act. His personality has not yet settled down. He has the most things along the way, and he is curious about everything and wants to get involved.
If Zheng Zhan's ability was not really effective in the tomb palace, he would have wanted to beat this kid and let him be quiet.
"Hmph, I can go the right path by myself anyway. Hehe, now I'm not here. You might be slower than me~" Zheng Zhan's voice came from the intercom, and the tone was distorted, but the lack of flatness was not weakened at all.
Captain and other members: "..." Although it is telling the truth, why can't this false colleague continue? Why bother?
"Forget it, compared to Zheng Zhan, what's more important is why Chen is disturbed by signal." Ling Heng is essentially a gentle person. When he put away his dark emotions, he is a person who makes people relax his words.
Ling Heng knew that Zheng Zhan was also a deducer. The deducer's character could not be found in this deducer world, and wasting time on Zheng Zhan was simply stupid.
"What else can there be a reason?" said a short-haired woman in the team. "He and Aili must have fallen deep, somewhere more affected by the power of the ghost tree. There may be danger, but since I have believed Shen so much along the way, the captain is not willing to tell us the real reason..."
The short-haired woman glanced at the captain, curled her lips, and smiled: "I believe that with Shen Zai, he and Ali will not be able to do anything. When they leave that range, they will definitely contact us on their own initiative, right?"
This woman speaks with thorns.
But no one said anything, because what she said was the fact. Except for the captain, no one knew Shen's background. In a place like Oster, where he was promoted by contribution, Shen was like a chopstick stirring the fish tank, disrupting their original order.
Some people are definitely dissatisfied. Even if they do not feel dissatisfied because of Shen’s strength, they will always have doubts.
They wanted to ask the captain, but the captain always vagues them by saying, "This is the boss's arrangement, and I have no right to ask about it."
The captain was silent for two seconds: "Since that's the case, then we will continue to walk. Without the sinking, we can't be lazy. We will cheer up and prepare for machine detection."
...
In the dark and deserted space, Alice felt a suffocation.
How to say it, she doesn't know where she has fallen now and can't concentrate on checking around her.
She slipped down from the sloping stone wall, and there was a friction buffer all the way. She did not fall, but the sinking that followed seemed very light. After sliding out of a curve, it "covered" her body without bias.
Her first reaction was: It's over, I'm obsessed with cleanliness. Can he accept the current contact area?
The second reaction was: Should I push him away? Will he silence me because he is unhappy after getting up?
This thought only appeared in her mind for a moment, and was broken by a heavy voice.
Surprisingly, Shen did not get a cleanliness attack because of the large contact area. He gently stood up on the ground and stretched out his hand to her very gentlemanly: "Sorry, I hit you. Can you get up?"
"It's okay." Aili really wanted to say that there are no weak women in the company. They treat women as men. Anyone who goes out can kill a group of ordinary people in seconds. They can't stand it because of a hit. Aili grabbed Shen's hand and took the force to get up, "You don't need to apologize."
She really didn't expect that the person who looked so cold that it was hard to get close to seemed to be that difficult to speak, an unexpected gentleman.
So she became bolder and wanted to take the opportunity to talk: "But you are much lighter than I thought. When you smash it down, you don't look like a person over 1.8 meters tall, but rather like..."
Like a piece of hollow wood.
"It's good if you're not injured." Chen took back his hand and didn't answer her words, and he didn't seem to want to talk about this topic.
He put his hand back into his pocket and looked around.
This should be a tomb, but the night pearls are gone and they are completely in darkness.
He had extremely strong night vision ability, but Alice couldn't do it, so he took out a flashlight and turned on the switch.
The moment the light lit up, a serene sound seemed to be heard in the darkness, as if something was disturbed by the light.
Aili's hair stood up and subconsciously approached Chen. The next moment, Chen shook the beam around and shone a dense red eyes.
They were bats hanging on the stone walls on the upside down.
The bat's eyes locked on the two of them, with their wings spreading, and the flapping sound formed a continuous and increasing noise, which was simply polluted by the spirit of the fly.
The bat also sensed that the two of them were open, revealing several circles of fangs that were comparable to the strange fish. The high decibel screams came from it, causing the two of them to tinnitus.
Ally frowned, feeling her eardrums feel moist and warm, as if liquid is flowing out, probably because the ear holes are being shaken through.
But when she turned her head, she saw that her heavy face looked even worse than hers.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! After all, my new colleague, Aili thought Chen was not very catching a cold in this creature, so she pulled out a short knife and took the initiative to stand in front of Chen.
She noticed the bats flapped their wings and rushed towards them from the path outside the beam range, and said quickly: "It's vampire bats, have you seen it? They are photophobic. Please pay attention to flashlights, I'll solve them."
Chen Youyou looked at the bats rushing towards him, and his feet were not moving. It was obvious that he was not afraid of them.
His voice was slightly cold: "A bat living in a tomb has at least thousands of unknown bacteria that are infected with humans. It's too dirty."
Alice just cut a vampire bat: "…"
Shen also added: "There is still their blood, can't stop the splashing?...Damn."
Ali: "…"
Ally really has nothing to say.
Maybe this is the boss. She is surrounded by so many mutated bats, and all she thinks about is dirty or not. Should she be glad that she is safe with Shen Huai?
It seemed to be confirming her idea. When the bat was too close and was about to touch Shen, a black mist suddenly burst out from Shen's body.
Thin, delicate and complex black patterns quietly crawled out from the heavy neck. The black fog penetrated from the patterns and looked outward like tentacles. When the bats touched the fog, they screamed and retreated, but they still couldn't escape the fate of death.
Chen was very careful in doing things, and the black fog surrounded Ali, carefully not touching her, but there was a safe area around her.
There was a pile of dead bats quickly piled up on the ground around the two of them.
The rest of the companions were all corpses, and hesitated for a long time and flew away in groups.
Chen didn't take action from beginning to end, and even the flashlight did not tremble. Alice felt the gap between herself and Chen in shock, and said, "It's too strong, is this your special ability? No wonder you were appointed by your boss as the deputy captain of the operation as soon as you came up."
This kind of offensive range ability is definitely the most needed and scarce ability that the action team needs. Not only Oster, but even other forces, if they know Shen's existence, they will find ways to poach or destroy it.
"That's right." He nodded, his face without expression seemed very ruthless, but the real words were reassuring. "It's a bit cold here. I can feel that part of the power of the ghost tree remains here. If you stay for a long time, you will be affected. Let's go first."
Aili cooperated and left with Chen, and she also keenly realized some information that Chen revealed.
She will be affected by the power of the ghost tree, so she must leave quickly. What is the implication - will Shen be affected?
She became more and more curious about this person. The Walking Department was originally a department for exploring secrets, and the secrets on Shen's body were also very attractive to Ali.
After looking at Chen Hun's body, Alice finally found a new topic to bring them closer together: "I remember you were wearing a doll on your belt before, a boy in a black suit."
As she was slightly anxious, she continued to ask, "Why are you missing now?"
Chen seemed to laugh, as light as an illusion.
"That doll...I'll give it to him if someone wants it."
"Ah?" Ali was confused. Her mind was very quick, "Are you acquaintances among other forces?"
What acquaintance would greed for a doll, a girl?
"It shouldn't be familiar now." Shen tilted his head and walked out of the bat's nest and returned to a narrow corridor. While distinguishing the direction, he said, "But it will probably become familiar in the future... He once gave me a doll full of swearing words and told me that I must return the gift to be polite. Oh, like a robber."
"Well..." Alice didn't understand a little. She couldn't understand what the concept of a doll full of swearing words was.
Moreover, the "now", "after" and "was" in the deep mouth do not sound like nouns in conventional concepts, but have a special meaning.
Due to the chaos in the tomb, Alice easily thought of a possibility: "You have met it on another timeline, but this timeline is still a stranger?"
Chen looked at her in surprise, and didn't seem to expect that she was quite smart.
"It's almost..." Chen Bu planned to explain further. A feminine but always smiling face appeared in his mind, muttering in a voice that Ali couldn't hear—
"It's not another timeline in the tomb palace, but another world. He probably hasn't seen me yet... Will I really not disrupt the cause and effect when I do this? Forget it, it's better to find something for the witch to do, so that she can save her from talking every day."
Chen is actually not as cold as he looks. Most of the time, he is quite approachable.
But the cursed temperament on his body was not under his control.
He could feel that the air was filled with the breath of ghost trees, and the straight-line distance between the tomb passage from the body of ghost trees may be a bit too close.
This greatly affected his perception ability. He simply gave up and grabbed a little black cat from his pocket.
It was really clipped out. The two fingers were put together to hold the back of the kitten's neck. The little black cat whispered, rubbed his fleshy claws, revealing dark golden eyes.
If Yu Xing was here, he would definitely be able to recognize it at first sight. This cat was the "doom" he had seen by the witch in the original version of Alice Park "Witch's Time Hut".
Compared to that time, Doom grew a little bit bigger, the color of his eyes was very similar to that of a witch, and his every move became more humane and agile. It was very intimate to Shen.
If Yu Xing saw this scene, he would definitely be able to think of a lot of information through the cat owner mentioned by the witch at that time. No, there is no need to be such a trouble. He only needs to hear the word "shen" and he can remember the story told by the old butler to set fire to Alice's bedroom and the entire floor in the story told by the old housekeeper.
Unfortunately, the information difference is magnified to the extreme at this moment.
Yu Xing knew nothing about what happened here.
Chen 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."
Alice has seen this cat, and it will occasionally rush to the sunken shoulder to show off her presence, but she thinks it is just a pet raised by a handsome guy. After all, who has not had a quirk these days?
It is not unreasonable to bring the pet cat into the 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 its bones. Ali and Chen followed the black cat to choose the path.
After walking for a few minutes, the truth was still alive. Ali even felt that the coldness around her was gradually moving away, which meant that they followed the black cat and at least took a road away from danger.
She was not idle for a while: "Chen, your real name is Shen?"
Oster Company is a legally registered company, and every employee has a real name. Aili, Zheng Zhan, and Ling Heng all use real names, but a single name is too rare, which doesn't sound like a normal surname.
"No, it seems that the boss called me that for convenience." Chen didn't care about this, "It's not a secret. My name is Yu Fengchen, the sealed seal..."
