When Yang Yiyi woke up, there was no trace of Wang Zhao around. She looked around and saw Bai Mo leaning on the wall not far away with his eyes closed, breathing evenly, and seemed to be resting.
She took off her earphones and didn't know what she had dreamed about before. She seemed to be in a particularly comfortable mood at this time. She was about to say something cheerfully, but when she saw Bai Mo's tired look, she didn't say anything to disturb her. She just held her chin and kept quiet.
Watch.
Not long after, Bai Mo slowly opened his eyes. There was no trace of sleepiness or any emotion in his eyes.
"You seem happy."
Seemingly aware of Yang Yiyi's gaze, he raised his eyes and glanced at her, and said calmly.
"Just a little bit." Yang Yiyi pretended to look away casually and asked curiously, "Did you fall asleep just now?"
"Just taking a short break." Bai Mo shook his head.
First, he swallowed the dead night grass and entered the coffin burial ground, then competed with Wuyu in swordsmanship, and then passed through the endless black passage. Bai Mo did feel a little exhausted physically and mentally at this moment.
His strength had just been restored and he had been depleted many times. Fortunately, he had been extremely restrained during the process, and he did not suffer from the situation of overdraft of strength like after the battle with Destiny. He only needed to rest for a while.
Yang Yiyi nodded and suddenly asked: "By the way, where is the man named Wang Zhao? Why didn't I see him?"
"He has his own things to do and will not come to see us again."
"That's such a pity..."
Yang Yiyi looked a little regretful after hearing this, and put the headphones on the table reluctantly, "I also want to ask him if he can give this thing to me."
"Take it away." Bai Mo said.
Yang Yiyi's eyes lit up, but she was still a little embarrassed: "Is that okay? After all, this is someone else's thing..."
"You can take it away and keep it as a souvenir."
Bai Mo responded again, then ignored the excited Yang Yiyi and walked straight towards a certain direction in the room. Then he stopped and looked down at the blue beads at his feet——
The eye that was suspected to be a dragon's eye suddenly rioted. He bound it with his shadow and the eye disappeared not long after. This bead was exactly what was left after that eye suddenly disappeared.
Wang Zhao has not explained the origin and function of this eye before. Perhaps in his opinion, this matter is not important, so there is no need to explain it;
Or maybe this eye is also part of a hidden secret that cannot be spoken directly, but must be seen with eyes.
"The real information is actually in your hands, and it is also hidden in everything you have witnessed before - remember, everything in the mirror is the most real."
Bai Mo recalled Wang Zhao's words with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
This place is definitely a very hidden space, but Wang Zhao seemed to have expected that someone would follow to prevent him from handing over the information to him, so he had a response plan in advance and used a more concealed method to use the information in advance.
The way he told Bai Mo——
Although he doesn't know how to interpret it yet.
So...what is Wang Zhao wary of?
They shouldn't be gods, those guys wouldn't let Wang Zhao avoid talking about it...
"Is it something in that part of my memory that I forgot?"
Bai Mo thought for a long time but had no idea, so he silently picked up the blue bead from the ground.
The beads were crystal clear, and at first glance they looked like a miniature version of longan. He rubbed them for a moment, but didn't feel anything special.
"Why is that eye gone?"
At this moment, Yang Yiyi's confused voice sounded behind Bai Mo, and the girl stared at the destroyed petri dish for a long time, her eyes quite confused.
"Took away by Wang Zhao." Bai Mo replied casually.
He did not intend to let Yang Yiyi know the truth of the matter, which may not be a good thing for her.
Yang Yiyi looked suspicious. She was curious about what the two of them were talking about without telling her, but she knew how to measure things and didn't ask.
Wang Zhao's body was not a corpse. He disappeared not long after his death, which saved Bai Mo the effort of disposing of the body.
He checked around and found that there were not many objects in the whole room. It seemed to be just a simple safe house. There was nothing else visible except a desk. There was nothing important recorded in the files on the desk.
, mostly white paper.
"It seems there is really nothing left..."
Bai Mo shook his head secretly and was about to turn around and walk towards the mirror, planning to find a way to get out of here——
Zhang Tao and Zhang Rouzhu must have been waiting outside for a long time.
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard an exclamation from Yang Yiyi.
"There's a door here!"
He raised his eyebrows, looked over, and saw Yang Yiyi staring at a very ordinary floor, looking quite excited.
"Door?" Bai Mo walked over.
"Yes, this floor is empty, and there is definitely another space hidden underneath!"
Yang Yiyi had a determined look on her face, with a hint of asking for credit in her tone.
Bai Mo said nothing, the shadow under his feet instantly rose from the ground, quickly condensed a huge hammer, and hit the floor hard.
"boom!"
The loud noise startled Yang Yiyi.
The floor was more fragile than they imagined. It cracked under the hammer, revealing a dark hole. There was indeed a very deep hole underneath. They couldn't see how deep it was, and they didn't know where it led.
.
Bai Mo thought for a moment and said, "You stay here, I'll go down and take a look."
"Why, can't I go together?" Yang Yiyi was stunned.
"I don't know how deep this hole is. I'm afraid you'll fall to death as soon as you fall in - and you may not be able to climb out after a while."
Yang Yiyi seemed a little reluctant, but still compromised: "Okay."
Bai Mo thought for a while, and suddenly handed the black worm tied with black shadows into her hand, and told her: "This guy is tied up by me. There should be no danger for the time being. Look at it first, and remember to pay more attention and don't give it any trouble."
A chance to escape."
"Okay, be careful too."
Yang Yiyi took the worm with some disgust, imitating Bai Mo and grabbing its neck with her hands.
However, the shadow puppetry seemed to have lost the desire to resist and did not struggle. It just lay in Yang Yiyi's hands and fell asleep.
"I'll be back soon."
Bai Mo left a sentence and jumped into the pit without hesitation.
In an instant, his eyes became dark again, and the howling wind could be heard in his ears. Bai Mo silently calculated that the pit was probably several hundred meters deep.
He quickly felt down to earth and looked around, only to see that it was still a room. There was a huge screen hanging on the wall in front of him, and below it was a row of operating instruments.
"Control room..."
Bai Mo suddenly felt something in his heart and took a step forward.
As he took steps, a faint warm yellow light suddenly appeared around him, dispelling all the darkness in the room.
He got to the screen, but couldn't turn it on - the thing didn't seem to be powered on.
Bai Mo looked around, and suddenly his eyes narrowed, and he found a small circular groove directly on the right side of the operating table, which seemed to be used to embed something.
He took out the blue bead from his bag and tentatively put it into the groove.
"Click."
The beads were embedded, as if some kind of key had been inserted. With a crisp sound, the screen in front of you suddenly lit up with a faint fluorescent light, as if it was starting up.
A picture soon appeared on the screen. In the picture, Yang Yiyi was sitting on the ground, holding a spell knife in one hand, watching the shadow puppet in his hand warily, glancing at the smashed floor from time to time, waiting boredly -
—
This is exactly what happens in the room above.
"It is indeed the control room..."
Bai Mo's heart was moved, and after a few operations on the console, he found that the surveillance video indeed contained a recent surveillance video, but it was not long. The video seemed to be automatically and regularly deleted every twelve hours.
Without any hesitation, he quickly called up the surveillance video from half an hour ago——
This was exactly the time when Wang Zhao died.
The screen quickly regressed and soon reached the scene when Wang Zhao was still alive. Bai Mo pressed the play button and stared at the screen.
In the picture, he just turned his head at this moment and restrained the blue eyeball. His attention was not on Wang Zhao beside him.
Wang Zhao, who was holding the document at that time, seemed to have noticed something strange as well, and turned his head to look in the direction of the blue eyes.
Until now, no one had appeared around him, and there seemed to be no abnormality at all, but Bai Mo knew very well that Wang Zhao would be killed next -
Suddenly, his pupils contracted.
Wang Zhao on the screen suddenly stiffened, stopped turning his head, and his eyes became extremely empty.
As if under some kind of manipulation, a ball of flame suddenly popped up from Wang Zhao's fingertips, burning the documents in his hand.
At the same time, the flames on his fingers dissipated, his palms came together, and they suddenly swung towards his waist, cutting him off abruptly!
The moment Bai Mo turned around and saw Wang Zhao, his eyes just regained clarity, as if he didn't know anything.
There was no outsider intervention at all, everything was done by Wang Zhao himself!
Bai Mo narrowed his eyes.
However, there is obviously a big difference between Wang Zhao at this time and Wang Zhao before. It seems that he has been manipulated in some way to do such unbelievable things.
He had already realized one thing——
Wang Zhao had plenty of time before his death, but he did not tell him who the murderer was.
And this may not be that Wang Zhao doesn't want to say it... but that he doesn't know whose hands he will die in.
As for this surveillance video, it may be the last message Wang Zhao wants to tell Bai Mo.
Bai Mo watched the video several times again, but didn't get any useful information from it, so he stopped worrying and continued to pull the video back, speeding up the video and watching it from beginning to end from twelve hours ago.
During these twelve hours, Wang Zhao rarely appeared in the room. That blue eye only returned to the room not long ago. I think the strange things in the art of eating outside are indeed Wang Zhao's handiwork.
…
The video is very boring.
Just when Bai Mo thought there might be nothing to gain, he suddenly noticed that Wang Zhao in the lens seemed to glance at the camera inadvertently, then walked to the desk, squatted down and fiddled with something at the bottom of the desk.
After that, he climbed out from under the table as if nothing had happened and left the room.
Bai Mo secretly wrote down this incident and continued to watch the video, but he didn't see any other useful information after that.
He searched around again, but this room was even simpler than the room above, and he couldn't find any useful information at all.
So he took the blue bead out of the groove and looked around to see if there were any hidden grids or anything like that. Seeing that his search was fruitless, he climbed up a little bit along the passage.
When he poked his head out from the floor, Yang Yiyi was startled, then breathed a sigh of relief and asked him what he had gained down there.
"There is a monitoring room below. You can see the situation in this room." Bai Mo said.
"Control room?" Yang Yiyi was stunned, looked around quickly, and said doubtfully, "But I didn't even see the camera."
Bai Mo said calmly: "The technological level of those guys is beyond your imagination. It is not impossible to set the camera to be invisible."
"Okay... By the way, take this thing back quickly, it's really disgusting."
When Yang Yiyi heard this, she no longer struggled. As if she suddenly remembered something, she handed the shadow puppet play back to Bai Mo's hands with disgust.
Bai Mo skillfully grabbed the shadow puppet's neck. The black worm remained motionless, seemingly lying down and accepting its fate.
"Let's go, we should go back."
"Okay, I've been waiting for you to say this...but how should I go back?"
Yang Yiyi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief as she was finally able to leave this ghost place, but she was a little confused. After all, there was no door in this place.
"Have you forgotten where we came from?"
Bai Mo said and walked straight to the huge mirror.
Yang Yiyi quickly followed him and said in surprise: "You mean to go back through this mirror?"
"Um."
Bai Mo spoke lightly and tentatively stretched out his hand, but the shadow under his feet quietly moved behind him, stretched and spread under the desk, as if he was exploring something.
Yang Yiyi didn't notice this scene. She only saw that the mirror seemed to turn into water, and then Bai Mo actually stretched his hand directly in, and couldn't help but open his mouth.
"I've seen so many incredible things, but it's still like I've never seen the world before - grab my hand."
The shadow under Bai Mo's feet quietly returned, and then stretched out his hand towards Yang Yiyi.
Yang Yiyi muttered and stretched out her hand.
The mirror surface surged like waves, and the two figures disappeared.
The room suddenly became dead silent.
…
After exiting the mirror, Bai and Mo returned to the previous passage. They did not continue to go deeper, but turned around and walked back.
When the two of them walked to the place where they first encountered the shadow puppet show, Bai Mo suddenly stopped and walked to a wall to observe something carefully.
The next second, he stretched out his hand and tore it hard, and actually peeled off a layer of human skin from the wall.
"What are you doing?" Yang Yiyi asked in surprise.
Bai Mo didn't answer, he just peeled off the human skin layer by layer. Not long after, he saw a person from inside the wall——
To be precise, it was a corpse.
Yang Yiyi said in disbelief: "What is this?"
"Corpse."
Bai Mo changed places and continued to tear off the human skin. After all the human skin was torn off, there was indeed a corpse hidden inside.
As if confirming some kind of conjecture, he stopped moving and muttered to himself: "As expected."
"What's so true?"
Yang Yiyi was startled by Bai Mo's gloomy tone. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly speculated, "Is it possible that the entire passage is actually made of corpses as walls and then built with human skin?"
Bai Mo glanced at her in surprise: "You are a bit smarter this time."
"That's true!"
Yang Yiyi was inexplicably creepy and said in disbelief, "But...why?"
Bai Mo thought: "This passage is disguised by the mirror space. There may have been situations where the mirror image copied the original body..."
"Like the other us before?"
"Um."
"Then you mean...these corpses are actually the mirror image corpses?" Yang Yiyi guessed.
"That's not necessarily the case."
Bai Mo shook his head and said, "It is definitely not something that Wang Zhao can achieve by himself, so I guess there may have been a whole team in this passage, and they were hiding here to do experiments, such as testing the characteristics of the taboo sequence.
But I was suffering from the lack of experimental subjects, so I simply came up with the idea of mirroring."
Yang Yiyi thought for a while, then suddenly opened her eyes and said: "You mean these guys chose to use their own mirror images for experiments? How is it possible? Isn't this just like killing yourself!"
"That's why I said they are crazy." Bai Mo said lightly.
Yang Yiyi couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly asked: "Then what do you mean by 'not necessarily'? Could it be that those mirror images in turn killed their original bodies?"
"I don't know. This kind of thing can't be concluded for the time being. Let's wait and see next time." Bai Mo said.
If you want to figure out the truth of this matter, then you may have to understand the meaning of the sentence "The mirror is the most real"...
And he still remembered another meaningful sentence Wang Zhao had said before - that is, let him think carefully about what is at the end of the passage.
He couldn't think of it for the time being, so he could only consider going to the end to see it in person.
"Are you coming next time?" Yang Yiyi was stunned.
"Well, I don't need to take you with me then. My speed will be much faster."
Yang Yiyi was so angry that her teeth itched. Although Bai Mo's words were okay, they were too inconsiderate of her feelings.
The two people quickly left the passage, and when they were about to leave the passage, Bai Mo made a move that Yang Yiyi couldn't understand——
He actually let go of the black worm, the forbidden series a-shadow puppet!
However, Bai Mo didn't explain much about this, and the two of them left the cave entrance and returned to the dragon's belly.
"Those eyes are gone."
Yang Yiyi breathed a long sigh of relief and suddenly noticed this.
"Well, let's go."
However, Bai Mo didn't seem to be very interested in this matter and was about to leave with her.
Bai Mo had previously seen two pieces of information at the bottom of his desk, one of which was exactly how to enter and exit this special space created by the art of eating outside.
Under his leadership, Yang Yiyi felt a blur in front of her eyes and left the dragon's belly inexplicably, and the two returned to the empty underground camp.
Although not a long time had passed, Yang Yiyi felt like seeing the light of day again.
However, Bai Mo was not as relaxed as she was. He spoke faster and said, "Let's take the others and leave here quickly."
Yang Yiyi's heart tightened and she thought something happened again, so she quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I don't want to deal with that faucet for the time being... and in order to avoid any accidents, we'd better leave as soon as possible."
Only then did Yang Yiyi remember that they had seen a huge locked dragon head before, and it was that dragon head that guided them into the dragon's belly space.
But speaking of that, the faucet is really weird. If you can avoid touching it, it’s better not to touch it.
She chose to trust Bai Mo's judgment and quickened her pace.
The two of them quickly arrived at the secret room. When they opened the door, Zhang Tao and the other three inside were very alert, and Wen Ziya was staring at the door, ready to take action at any time.
When they saw that the person coming was Bai Mo, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are finally back..."
A smile appeared on Zhang Tao's face, and all the tension in his body disappeared.
Bai Mo had no intention of being polite to him, and said calmly: "There is no problem outside. In order to avoid causing trouble, let's leave here quickly."
"good."
Leaving here is of course the wish of everyone present. When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up and they hurried towards the secret room.
However, at this moment, the passage suddenly began to vibrate violently, and it seemed to be accompanied by a faint and terrifying roar.
Bai Mo signaled everyone not to panic and said to them: "You go out first, remember to run directly to the ground, don't look back, I will be there soon."
Zhang Rouzhu looked worried and wanted to say something, but Zhang Tao pulled him away. He turned around and said to Bai Mo, "We are waiting for you up there."
Bai Mo nodded and turned to look at Wen Ziya: "Please take care of them."
This beautiful woman nodded solemnly. As the strongest person here besides Bai Mo, she had the obligation to bring everyone back to the ground.
Yang Yiyi glanced at Bai Mo, said nothing, and ran towards the secret room without saying a word. But after running two steps, she turned back and took out three talismans and handed them to him without saying a word.
Bai Mo lowered his head and glanced. These were the three spells that Yang Yiyi wanted to give him before entering the passage. None of them had been consumed at this time.
"Don't die." The girl whispered.
She could tell that the roar just now was the sound made by the locked faucet, and it sounded a little angry.
Bai Mo laughed dumbly: "Where are you thinking? I will come out soon."
He took the spell from Yang Yiyi.
Seeing this scene, Yang Yiyi rushed out of the secret room and quickly followed the people not far ahead.
Bai Mo watched everyone leave, and then closed the door of the secret room.
The entire underground space was crumbling and seemed to collapse at any time.
At the same time, a huge dragon head emerged from the ground behind Bai Mo.
