"There are still many disgusting places in ancient Yinduo. That huge country that only fleetingly disappeared in history left many strange phenomena that are unimaginable and unexplainable." The Ninth Golden Ring answered calmly.
The two of them stopped talking for a while and continued to move forward.
The temperature was getting colder and colder, and a thin layer of frost gradually appeared on the white metal handrails. The hot breath exhaled by the two people clearly formed two white lines, slowly dissipating in the air.
"Be careful." The Ninth Golden Ring suddenly said.
Garen glanced at him doubtfully, and then looked down the stairs. There was a policeman in black lying on the steps in front of him. His throat was shot through by a short black arrow, and he was half-leaning against the wall, motionless.
Blood slowly flowed out from under the body, dripping into the endless darkness bit by bit.
"The temperature was too low. His body temperature dropped too quickly." Ninth Golden Ring squatted down and checked the body. "But the time of death should not exceed twenty minutes. It seems that the detectives are not far ahead."
"What are you going to do if you meet Detective Tali?" Garen asked from behind.
"If he knew his identity, I would not kill him either." Ninth Golden Ring replied calmly.
The two of them walked forward past the police corpse, their crisp footsteps echoing in the silent space.
Bang!!
Suddenly there was a gunshot in the darkness below. There was also the faint sound of someone screaming.
"Run!!" someone shouted.
The Ninth Golden Ring's expression changed, and he sped up and ran down. Garen hesitated for a moment, and then started to trot as well.
After a while, a group of detectives from the tower suddenly appeared on the stairs below. They stood on the steps looking down in shock.
Garen looked forward along their line of sight. The steps in front were like thin flaps, flipping over to reveal the dark space below, and they were very regular. One of every five steps was a normal step.
All the remaining stairs are constantly turning over rhythmically.
Visitors must jump forward, otherwise once they step on the overturned steps, they will immediately fall down, and their bodies will be stuck in the middle of the steps, and will be crushed to pieces by the overturned stone steps.
One of the leather shoes of Detective Tali had already been clipped in two. He, Bai Ying and the agency expert were standing behind, and a young male policeman was protecting Miss Silan.
Obviously, the police chief refused to come down because he had to mobilize the police force, but Si Lan took the initiative to come down with the detective.
At this time, the five detectives also heard footsteps coming from behind. Looking up, they saw Garen and a man in a black cloak walking down slowly. Especially that man, covered with a black mask and wearing a golden
The earrings are engraved with the number 9.
"It's from the Golden Ring!" Bai Ying reacted quickly and drew his gun and pointed it at the Ninth Golden Ring.
"Don't be nervous." The Ninth Golden Ring's expression remained unchanged and he looked at the people in front of him. "I think our purpose should be the same. They are all to find out what the secret is in this underground entrance, right?"
"Then what do you mean...?" the detective asked with a sullen face.
"Of course we are cooperating. You help me explore this cave, and I can personally provide you with a lot of valuable information. Don't worry, it will be over soon." The eyes of the Ninth Golden Ring were extremely calm, without any disturbance.
Detective Tali pondered for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Okay, I promise you." He actually agreed.
The rest of the people had expressions of disbelief, and even Garen behind him was a little stunned.
"The Ninth Golden Ring is said to be a person who never breaks his promise. I believe your words." Tali Mercury ignored the expressions of others and said directly to the Ninth Golden Ring.
"You know me quite well."
"This is natural."
"Then let's move on." Ninth Golden Ring smiled and suddenly patted the wall on the left.
Bang.
The turning movement of the steps in front suddenly stopped and became completely motionless.
"Okay, keep going."
He led Garen directly to the front. As they passed through the five-person team, Bai Ying and Silan both looked extremely nervous. When they saw Garen following behind, they both looked obviously angry.
Garen smiled bitterly at the two of them, shrugged helplessly, and happened to walk with everyone.
The ninth golden ring in front of him didn't bother him at all. He walked forward alone, neither fast nor slow. After a while, all he could see was the orange torch in his hand.
"How about we go back now?" Garen suggested in a low voice.
"You can't run away. The Ninth Golden Ring is very fast and silent. We can't run away." The detective in the tower looked calm and said, "Let's go, follow."
He was the first to follow, and the others behind him tried each other and had to follow.
Garen and Bai Ying walked together and whispered to a few people about the situation above. The atmosphere in the team suddenly became much heavier.
"The current situation is very troublesome. Fortunately, this time we encountered the Ninth Golden Circle, a relatively special existence in the entire Golden Circle organization. If the key was replaced by someone else, it would be completely troublesome." Miss Silan analyzed in a low voice.
"I just don't know what sir is thinking."
"Don't worry about it. Sir, you will never do anything wrong. Just follow up, everyone." Bai Ying frowned.
The agency expert was being supported by the little policeman. He was shivering from the cold and couldn't speak at all. The two of them stood close to the torch to keep warm, but it didn't help.
But at this time, being coerced by the golden ring, he did not dare to say anything, so he had to grit his teeth and continue walking down.
The group of people walked further down for who knows how long. The ninth golden ring in front of them flapped on the wall from time to time, as if they were very familiar with this place, and they did not encounter any more traps along the way. Soon, they finally saw the bottom.
.
At the end of the stairs, there is a small circular open space. There are three gray leather sofas placed on the black open space. The sofas form a triangle and are covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost. Not far from the open space is a dark
The black coal inside the fireplace was also covered with a layer of white frost.
There is also a bookshelf, which is empty and empty.
When he reached the last step of the stairs, the ninth golden ring suddenly stopped and stood on the steps without going down.
He frowned, and his right hand, which had been in the cloak, slowly reached out, holding a dark object between his fingers, and flicked it.
The black thing suddenly flew out and fell into the black open space ahead.
Hee hee hee hee hee...!!!
A series of dense arrows suddenly shot out from both sides, shooting the black objects into pieces, and a large number of black short arrows pierced into the ground densely.
The ninth golden ring once again revealed a black object, followed by another hail of arrows.
After doing this three times in a row, the holes in the walls on both sides were finally covered up automatically, and there was no more movement.
The people behind him were stunned to see that there were probably thousands of short arrows fired from behind, and the tips of each arrow were glowing with a hint of purple.
"The short arrows are shot."
The Ninth Golden Ring said calmly, squatting down, lifting his cloak, and found a small white mouse in his left hand, and gently placed the white mouse on the black ground.
The mouse squeaked and quickly crawled towards the sofa.
After running a few steps, the mouse suddenly sank and slowly sank to the ground. The white mouse squeaked crazily, but it didn't help. Suddenly, a black thread lifted it up and flew back to the ninth golden ring.
In arms.
There is a very thin black thread tied to the tail of the mouse. You can't see it unless you look carefully.
The ninth golden ring gently comforted the white mouse and stood up.
"Ahead is the Malice Swamp, one of the institutions in Guyinduo that punishes thieves. Only thieves and cowards with evil intentions will be trapped in the swamp."
"What is your purpose?" Detective Tali asked in a low voice.
"Of course...that one." Ninth Golden Ring strode down the steps without looking back.
"Wait...!!" The mechanism expert was about to stop him, but he was shocked to see the ninth golden ring standing firmly on the black ground. He had already walked to the three sofas in a few steps.
Garen stood in the group with a gloomy look on his face.
The moment the Ninth Golden Ring walked to the sofa, he suddenly felt a faint warm current slowly seeping from the skin of his body into his body. That was potential, a very small amount of potential.
Snap.
The Ninth Golden Ring stood in the middle of the sofa. He didn't know what he did, but the black earth slowly made a clicking sound.
On the ground in front of the fireplace, a gray-white stone pillar slowly rose.
The stone pillar platform is cylindrical, with four owl sculptures carved around it, and a black-shell brick book is placed on the table.
A wave of fluctuation finally appeared in the eyes of the Ninth Golden Ring. He strode towards the gray-white stone platform and reached out to grab the black book.
Bang!
There was a gunshot, and a smoking hole suddenly appeared on the ground beneath his feet.
The ninth golden ring stopped in place and turned to look at the crowd.
"What are you doing?"
Bai Ying stood in front of Detective Mercury in the tower with his gun raised, his expression serious. But he was not the one who spoke.
The detective stared at the ninth golden ring calmly.
"If I guess correctly, that book is your ultimate goal, right?"
"Indeed." The other party nodded happily, "I am very grateful to you for finding this underground entrance for us. But the way of thanking you is that I will let you go this time. Originally we were in a hostile position, I should just kill you and solve the problem for the organization.
Trouble. You should understand."
"You can't kill us." The detective smiled. "The mechanism here is no joke. If I guess correctly, that book is the legendary Silent Book. Such a treasure gives you a golden ring.
Just like a lion growing wings, the consequences will be disastrous."
"This book is not for the organization." The Ninth Golden Ring smiled, and his body suddenly rushed forward, swinging abruptly from side to side, grabbing the book and jumping on the spot. It flew up and hung like a black bat.
At the top of the stairs, someone climbed up the stone stairs above everyone.
"Don't move!" Detective Tali suddenly stopped Bai Ying who was about to make a move.
At this time, densely packed black spikes suddenly protruded from the black earth, like a forest of thorns, and countless holes were suddenly pierced on the sofa. Bai Ying was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The detective then looked at the agency expert on one side.
