Ji Xun carried the two of them for a while, and finally stopped when they found a corner of the corridor with almost no monsters.
After putting the two of them down, he patted his old friend again.
Chujiu opened his eyes, looked at the surrounding environment, and saw that there were no skeleton monsters at all, and he breathed a sigh of relief: he was out of danger.
Sure enough, this guy finally figured out a way.
Ji Xun looked at the black blood on his clothes and casually reminded him, "You are seriously injured."
It's not his blood, it's the infection from carrying this old friend.
Chujiu listened, but didn't want to talk about the cause of the injury. He just said lightly: "Yeah."
She had been running away just now and didn't have time to deal with her injuries. Now she had time to breathe. She turned her head and looked at her back, then took out a potion and poured it on. Corrosive gas was sizzling.
It seemed to be in great pain, and her movements were stiff for a moment.
Ji Xun looked at her gloomy mood and never guessed that someone who could give her such a blow from behind must be a very trustworthy person.
The injury that allowed her to maintain this suppressed silver-haired state must have been serious.
However, Ji Xun doesn't have any habit of prying into people's privacy.
People are willing to speak and listen.
If you don't say anything, it's over.
.......
The two of them had a basic understanding and there was no need to say more.
At this time, the psychic named Nanjing also woke up.
She seemed to wake up from a nightmare.
As soon as he opened his eyes, his whole body immediately jumped up deftly and scanned the surroundings very alertly.
Seeing that his companion Chujiu was safe and sound, Nan Jing put down the card in his hand.
The linen cloak had been lifted up when he was carrying it while running away, and only then did Ji Xun realize that it was a black-haired girl with a round head.
The gas mask obscured his appearance, but he sounded young, his eyes were lively, and his facial features were pretty good.
The most eye-catching thing is that she has a very good figure.
Even a loose-fitting adventure tactical uniform couldn't hide the majestic size of her chest.
When Ji Xun was carrying her just now, his back clearly felt like there were two air cushions, soft and waxy.
This is a mature figure that is completely incompatible with her cute round head.
Ji Xun just had a special impression, but he didn't have anything else on his mind.
Nan Jing seemed to be waking up from a dream, and asked Chujiu beside him with a confused expression, "Sister Chujiu, where are we...?"
She remembered that her spirit seemed to be attacked just now, and then she suddenly fell into coma.
I came here when I woke up.
Chujiu didn't respond to this kind of question that she didn't know. She just reminded: "Xiaonan, it was this gentleman who saved us."
"???"
Hearing this, Nan Jing looked over suspiciously, as if thinking about the meaning of this sentence: Save us?
With this thought, it was as if the fragmented thoughts became clear again.
correct.
I was running away just now!
What about those endless skeletons?
Nan Jing looked around and found that not a single monster could be seen around the corridor.
The confusion in her eyes instantly turned into difficulty in being confident. Was she really out of danger?
Ji Xun looked at the psychic lady who seemed to be a little nervous, with a smile in her eyes.
The psychic lady seemed to have not yet recovered from her thoughts. Her big eyes blinked again and again, and the words "Am I still in a coma and dreaming" were written on her face.
Chujiu was accustomed to his companion's slow response, and reminded him a little helplessly: "Xiaonan, you should say 'thank you'..."
Thinking back to the first time I discovered this guy's incredible ability to break situations in 407, he was often confused like this.
But before he finished speaking, injuries surged inside his body, and Chujiu's expression changed instantly.
Although I tried to hold it back, the fishy taste that hit my throat was so sudden that I spat out a mouthful of blood.
After receiving serious injuries and fighting all the way, the injuries were already very serious.
Chujiu quickly activated the spell to suppress it.
Nan Jing on the side looked panicked and hurriedly walked over to help treat the injury.
...
Without the threat of the monster tide, the sense of crisis has temporarily subsided.
Nan Jing's brain had just finished processing the information. While preparing medical tools, he gratefully said to Ji Xun, "Thank you, sir, for saving Chujiu and me just now. You can call me Nan Jing."
Now she has figured it out. If the person in front of her was really malicious, they would all be in danger without doing anything.
Nature is not the enemy.
After saying that, she apologized again: "I'm sorry, it was because of... so..."
She wanted to say something, but she seemed to feel betrayed by her companions, and she couldn't express her family shame.
Momentarily speechless.
Ji Xun didn't take it to heart at all. He smiled politely and introduced himself: "Ji Xun."
After this conversation, the three fell into a brief silence.
Nan Jing didn't have time to say anything more, and was concentrating on dealing with the wound on Chujiu's back. She used scissors to cut open the clothes on Chujiu's back, revealing a terrifying wound about the size of a fist, emitting black smoke.
Only then did Ji Xun realize that his old friend's injuries were more serious than he had seen.
Nanjing's method of treating the wound was obviously very professional. She did not pour the medicine roughly, but took out the surgical tools to debridement.
Her husband carefully cut off the pieces of rotten flesh that were smoking thickly from the wound.
After the cutting was completed, the wound was carefully cleaned with potion.
Then he took out a green card. After activation, the green six-pointed star on the card lit up with green light representing life, lingering around the wound.
At this time, she began to sew carefully.
The whole healing process involved cutting flesh and suturing, and it was painful to watch.
But Chujiu remained silent, his eyes dim and dull.
Ji Xun watched the entire treatment process.
Chujiu's injuries were not just external injuries, but also erosion from the dark energy of the fire system.
It is very troublesome to deal with, and medicine alone is not enough.
Without the suppression of the ice spell, the cut flesh and blood immediately burned into charcoal, and the strange dark fire energy corroded even the scalpel black.
This forced Nanjing to change several scalpels along the way.
Even Ji Xun was frightened when he looked at it.
If this strange injury had occurred to an ordinary person, he would have died suddenly on the spot.
It was obvious that the person who plotted against Chujiu was well aware of her ice spell power and used restraint.
He's familiar with her abilities, and he can also sneak attack... The one who does it is a very trustworthy companion.
What did Ji Xun think of?
But he was not in a hurry to talk.
He closed his eyes and meditated, waiting for them to take care of the wound.
...
After a while, Nanjing sutured the wound.
Only then did the ice demonic power on Chujiu gradually fade away.
The three of them had little communication.
Ji Xun and Chujiu are used to the way of getting along alone without speaking for a long time.
But Nan Jing always felt that the atmosphere was a bit too deserted, and she couldn't help but asked curiously: "Mr. Ji Xun, just now...how did you prevent those skeletons from chasing us?"
Ji Xun didn't want to explain more, but thinking that he might encounter trouble again later, he also said: "The skeleton monster's hatred is triggered by the fluctuation of its sanity value. Don't be afraid, don't be excited, just try to suppress the fluctuation."
"Ah? That's it?"
Nan Jing has been to this maze before, how could he not know this.
But how can a normal person not have any mood swings at all?
"..."
Ji Xun didn't want to explain the meaning, so naturally he didn't mention the clown mask.
He can trust Chujiu, but that doesn't mean he can trust other people.
Chujiu saw that Ji Xun didn't want to say more, so he interrupted his companion's curiosity at the right time and asked: "Mr. Ji Xun, what should we do now?"
Ji Xundao: "Wait."
Chujiu seemed to be used to this kind of out-of-the-box thinking. After thinking for a moment, he immediately understood and nodded: "Yes."
When Nan Jing heard Chujiu interrupt, he seemed to have suddenly forgotten what he wanted to ask just now.
As soon as he heard the two talking about the next arrangements, his ears perked up.
I originally thought that this mysterious "Mr. Ji Xun" would have some detailed arrangements.
But listen, listen, the conversation between the two ended just after it started?
The psychic lady suddenly felt that her brain was running out. She turned her head and looked at Chujiu, and then at Ji Xun. Her crystal eyes were as wide as copper bells, with big question marks written all over her face.
That's it?
What are you waiting for?
Hey Hey hey...
You should make it clear.
It's like these two guys are playing charades, just stop talking?
Nan Jing's mind was still thinking about the question just now, and he didn't realize that he had been staring at it for a long time.
Ji Xun was a little bit dumbfounded by the look of desire from the psychic lady.
The companion Chujiu seems to be a bit silly and cute.
But it’s not surprising when you think about it.
Because I have worked with Chujiu before, we have a more or less tacit understanding.
It’s normal for others to not be able to keep up with that kind of brain circuit.
Ji Xun had just met Nanjing's deputy doctor, who was not completely a drag, so Ji Xun said one more thing: "Wait until everyone in the Cao family is dead before taking action. Otherwise, if they run around in the maze, they will bring troubles."
A lot of unexpected risks.”
Hearing this, Nan Jing suddenly looked stunned and murmured to himself: "I see."
The three of them fell into a brief silence again.
At this time, something came to mind, and Ji Xun also asked: "By the way, Miss Nanjing, why are you in the maze? Did you guys blow up the train outside?"
He didn't know if this question had anything to do with the ambush, but he couldn't figure it out and always felt that something was missing.
Ji Xun knew this and asked Chujiu, but she would answer.
But it may touch on topics she doesn't want to mention, such as someone being stabbed in the back.
And asking this companion of hers would obviously lead to more information.
Ji Xunzhen was curious as to why they were involved in the murder of Governor Cao's family.
Upon hearing the inquiry, Nan Jing glanced at Chujiu and saw that he didn't speak, so he could just say it by default.
She responded directly: "No. The ones who bombed the train were another group of looters. We just heard that there was a batch of medical supplies on this train. We happened to need those things, so we came to take a look. We didn't want to be involved.
Already."
"oh."
Ji Xun was suddenly enlightened after hearing this.
It turns out that they are...the fourth force besides Golden Oak, Governor's Mansion, and Marauders.
They need a large amount of medical supplies, which means there is a big force behind them.
But it was such a coincidence that he got involved and was plotted by his companions?
This made Ji Xun inevitably suspect that the person who wanted to kill Chujiu was one of the forces behind her, and was directly related to the mastermind behind the murder of Governor Cao.
Even if you are trapped in a maze, you still don't feel at ease, and you have to arrange for a dead soldier to take action.
Ji Xun thought: "So, Chujiu's identity is even more special..."
Thoughts were racing in his mind, and the outline of the entire conspiracy gradually became clear.
Now think about it.
Various rumors in the city before, such as the Cao family holding some treasure, assassination bounties, etc., seemed to have been spread deliberately by someone.
It was all done to force Governor Cao Sihai to feel that his life was in danger in Innocence City.
Then the plan was made to sneak out of the city on a modified freight train.
It happened that the looters got the news that there was supplies on the train and blew up the tracks.
Furthermore, the fourth party force, Chujiu, also knew that there were medical supplies in the car, so they came to see the situation and dispose of them together.
One stone kills many birds.
Killing with a borrowed knife is played to the extreme.
There was no need for the people behind the scenes to show up in person during the entire process, or even a single soldier.
Just by relying on a few wrong messages, several forces were involved. This method can be said to be brilliant.
Ji Xun also became interested.
Just the aftermath of the incident will inevitably lead to the death of many people in Sinless City.
And he always felt that the assassination of Governor Cao Sihai seemed to be the beginning of this storm.
But this has nothing to do with Ji Xun.
He likes to be lively.
But I prefer to hide in the dark and watch other people’s excitement.
...
To have a master like Chujiu, it is not easy to think about the background of the "fourth party force".
Ji Xun had no idea of trying to find out the identities of Chujiu and Chujiu.
It's rude and unnecessary.
As long as they are not enemies, it doesn't matter what they are.
At this time, Chujiu was also afraid that his silly companion said something he shouldn't have said, so he took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Ji Xun, did you just say that you met the [Secret Keeper] before?"
Ji Xun nodded: "Yeah."
Upon hearing this, both Chujiu and Nan Jing cast curious glances, "What level of disaster is that? Can it be solved?"
When Ji Xun mentioned the monster, he thought of that glimpse before, and the feeling in his heart that made his soul tremble was still clear.
"It's tricky."
He frowned slightly and said: "S-level disasters are immortal and there are quite a lot of them. Don't consider confronting them unless necessary."
"..."
After hearing this, Chujiu's expression immediately became serious.
She is well aware of the "troublesome" nature of this.
Back in Space 407, those terrifying A-level disasters didn't even make Ji Xun say a tricky adjective.
But now, he said it.
In other words, this disaster is absolutely invincible.
Chujiu looked over again: "So?"
Ji Xun understood what she asked and replied: "Solving the riddle."
"Um."
Chujiu's crystal eyes turned and she understood what he said.
The conversation between the two ended in just a few words.
Nan Jing, who was listening with his ears pricked up, his expression froze again:... gone again?
Obviously, this psychic lady's brain circuit is not as fast as Chujiu's, and she doesn't have that kind of tacit understanding.
Having just heard "The Keeper of Secrets", she felt that she had grasped the key points.
Um!
This time I must listen to the information carefully.
Analyze analyze.
Then think about how to solve the maze based on the clues.
However, I never thought that before I heard a few words, it would be gone again!
The expressions under the Nanjing gas mask were extremely rich at the moment.
She glanced at Chujiu, then at the guy with the same zombie expression as hers, and murmured in her heart: Can't you say a few more words?
The key is...
I didn't understand!
Nan Jing felt that if he asked, he would look stupid.
She could only ask something else quietly: "Sister Chujiu, how do you know each other?"
She and Chujiu are the closest friends, but they have never met Ji Xun or heard from her, which is very strange.
It's like it came out of nowhere.
"this..."
When Chujiu heard this, he wanted to explain it.
But when the words reached his mouth, he stopped again.
The matter of 407 is very sensitive, even if it is your best friend, you cannot talk about it.
After all, this matter not only concerns herself, but also the life and death of others.
Ji Xun, on the other hand, was not even interested in talking about this topic and had no intention of paying attention to it.
But since the two of them didn't speak, the atmosphere became very subtle.
Chujiu looked at Nan Jing's increasingly weird eyes, and finally couldn't help but say: "Mr. Ji Xun is a trustworthy friend. He saved my life."
"oh?"
When Nan Jing listened, he actually calmed down a lot.
But I couldn't help but be curious.
If I read it correctly, the person in front of me is probably a spell card master apprentice?
What ability does he have to save Chujiu?
Ji Xun didn't want to talk at first, but after hearing Chujiu's words, he shook his head slightly: "Miss Chujiu is too polite."
The reason he chose to save people just now was not just because of the function of Chujiu's "humanoid radar".
More importantly, return her favor within your ability.
Ji Xun Neng shot someone's head off without any hesitation in his heart, and he couldn't be said to be a good person.
But he is not unkind either.
Once a favor is stained, it doesn't mean that the debt will be cleared once it is paid back.
Just like borrowing money, even if the money is paid back, the favor is still there.
Not to mention that in the 407 space, you can’t survive without Chujiu Ji Xun.
Even after he came out, without Chujiu's support, he wouldn't have been able to survive until now.
This life-saving kindness is not small.
But after speaking, Ji Xun didn't say much more.
He didn't want to be pretentious about this kind of thing, and turned to the serious matter: "By the way, Miss Chujiu, is the information found in the safe still with you?"
"exist."
Chujiu knew very well that when the other party asked, he must need this thing.
After saying that, she took out a stack of information.
Ji Xun was not too polite. He took the information, lit the lamp, and sat down to read through it.
While he had nothing to do now, he would also see if he could translate some of it.
After all, judging from the information obtained from the previous adventurer's diary, it seems that if you want to leave this labyrinth, you must crack a secret room with ancient Talun texts.
It is also beneficial to get familiar with it early.
Seeing him flipping through the classics like this, Chujiu didn't ask him what he wanted to do.
During the previous collaboration with 407, Ji Xun made preparations more than once that were incomprehensible at first.
But the result is that every time it is the key to breaking the situation.
However, although she didn't ask much, she was really curious in her heart, what is the use of these information?
Also, this is ancient Talun text. Not many of the polymaths in Dragon City are proficient in it. Can he understand it?
The straightforward Nan Jing didn't think about it that much. She glanced at the densely packed ancient characters on the file and asked directly: "Mr. Ji Xun, are you a card disciple of the 'Wisdom Sequence'?"
"no."
Ji Xun didn't look up and responded casually.
He continued to look through the information, trying his best to recall the contents that had been translated in the 407 space.
Hearing this, Nan Jing was surprised and said: "Ah...then can you understand these ancient texts?"
Ji Xun shook his head decisively: "I can't understand."
"???"
Hearing this, Nan Jing's eyes were obviously stunned for three seconds.
Even Chujiu cast a very surprised look.
Although she had no doubts about Ji Xun's decryption ability, but... she couldn't understand the information at all, and she was still reading it. What did it mean?
Nan Jing couldn't help but be curious and asked directly: "What are you doing?"
Ji Xun didn't hide anything, and said calmly: "Learn now."
Nanjing: "..."
The ninth day of the lunar month: "..."
Upon hearing this, the two women's eyes twitched inexplicably.
I thought he knew Talungu script before.
At least understand a little bit.
But this temporary study doesn’t seem reliable no matter how you look at it, okay?
Chujiu was surprised for a moment and understood something.
Maybe you want to recall the content of the original enlightenment reminder and combine it to translate the ancient text?
This... seems impossible, right?
But Chujiu had an inexplicable feeling that if others could not do it, this guy might be able to do it.
She shook off those scattered thoughts. Since she had no idea of breaking the situation, she would leave this kind of thing to those who were capable.
Chujiu closed his eyes and fell into meditation.
As for the psychic lady, her eyes were deeply suspicious.
But Ji Xun ignored her meaning and studied the information carefully. He had a photographic memory, and he quickly became immersed in it.
The two girls on Chujiu didn't bother them anymore.
In a blink of an eye, the three of them stayed in the maze for three full days.
