Chapter 989 Arriving in Kunyang!

As soon as she summoned Minase Harumu, she noticed something was wrong with the surrounding environment.

"This is... a wilderness?"

"Do you want to fight a 'field battle' with me?"

"No - she's still a girl!"

"Yamedeye!"

Minase Youmu protected her chest with both arms, and her body hanging in the air twisted like a cicada, looking very artificial.

Qin Zhibo's eyelids drooped, this guy was sick again.

Minase Harumu was shaped by the thoughts of nearly a hundred tulpa believers. God knows those believers with unclear desires installed several little movies in her mind!

"Even if you scream, no one will be able to spot you here... You'd better come over and take a look below."

"What?!"

Minase Harumu screamed and made a horrified expression.

"You actually asked a beautiful girl to show you the bottom!"

Looking at Minase Yangmeng who was floating further away, Qin Zhibo gritted his teeth. If he couldn't touch her body now, he would have to teach her a lesson!

"No kidding, I want you to see what's under the ground."

"Tch~~~Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Minase Yomu flew over with a somewhat disappointed expression, and her slightly transparent body burrowed into the gravel ground.

But after a second, her head popped up again.

"Are you sure you're just looking underneath this?"

"Go down, you!"

Qin Zhibo stepped down, and Minase Yangmeng immediately burrowed into the ground like a gopher, and disappeared without a trace like a earthly descendant.

While Minase Youmeng sneaked underground to observe the situation, Qin Zhibo also observed the situation nearby.

This is an ordinary wasteland, except for scattered bushes, there is no marijuana grown in it.

Running Bull said that since the fever of exploration passed, the ghost of the Indian holding the blue torch also disappeared.

A few decades ago, you could often see those ghosts, guarding the hills like sentinels, and there were both men and women among the ghosts.

After a while, Minase Yomeng flew back and brought news.

"There's a passage down there!"

"There is a dead man in the passage! He has no hands or feet. It's so scary!"

Minase Youmeng was talking and gesticulating, describing the following situation.

"ah--!"

The two were communicating when a scream from Koizumi Hongzi was heard not far away.

Qin Zhibo and Minase Yomeng ran immediately and found Koizumi Hongzi facing a huge cube machine, with a white man standing next to the machine.

Qin Zhibo recognized that this white man was one of the images of Mr. Clock.

"Mr. Clock, why are you here?"

Mr. Clock looked at Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi, with a stiff smile on his face, and replied: "Mr. Qin, we meet again."

"And this young lady, is this the companion you mentioned you want to bring?"

Mr. Clock's eyes fell on Koizumi Hongzi, and Koizumi Hongzi felt a little scared in her heart.

Even though Qin Zhibo didn't say anything, she could still feel something chilling down her spine under that human skin.

"Yes." Qin Zhibo did not deny it, but turned back to the topic and asked, "Why are you here?"

Mr. Clock opened his unblinking eyes, and a strange light emitted from his light blue fake eyes.

"I'm here to make some preparations."

"What preparation?"

"To prepare for entering Kunyang, just rely on this machine..."

mr·clock directed Qin Zhibo's eyes to the cube machine next to him. Each side of this machine is 6 meters long, which is very huge.

Each side of the machine is dotted with irregular small convex windows, especially inlaid with molded and opaque glass.

It was because Koizumi Anko saw this machine just now that she curiously walked over to check it out, but was startled by the sudden appearance of Mr. Clock.

Qin Zhibo looked at it and suddenly realized that he seemed to have seen this machine before.

In the previous Valentine's Day chocolate murder incident, a mi-go mine was located in the mountains near Fukito Villa where I lived at the time.

Under the mine, there is such a huge machine.

Mr. Clock stood next to the machine and introduced: "This is called an earthquake mining machine. It is one of the great inventions of our race."

"As long as we use it, we can be transported underground quickly and unscathed."

Saying that, Mr. Clock reached out to start the machine.

When Qin Zhibo saw this, he quickly stopped.

"Wait a moment!"

"We just came to survey this place in advance and have no plans to go underground immediately."

"And we plan to enter Kunyang from another way..."

These words shocked Koizumi Hongzi next to her, but when she saw Qin Zhibo's eyes were extremely firm, she didn't ask for the reason now.

"Yeah?"

Mr. Clock remained expressionless as he continued to persuade: "This machine is very safe and can pull any material four miles underground. As long as you use it, you can quickly reach the ground."

"And as far as I know, there is no other road into Kunyang nearby..."

Facing Mr. Clock's invitation, Qin Zhibo still shook his head, "I said yes, you can enter Kunyang first, and we will enter in one day at the latest."

"Finally we meet above the Enkai Abyss."

Qin Zhibo was testing mr·clock, and at the same time he was wary of it.

Ever since the Angel Hall incident, Qin Zhibo had understood that the other party was trying to trick him, so he allowed himself to steal the fake Paneste fragments.

From that time on, the two were no longer in a cooperative relationship, but instead needed to be wary of each other.

Mr. Clock's advantage is that it knows how to use the Panest fragments to safely enter Enkai, and it has most of the Panest fragments in its hands.

Qin Zhibo's advantage is that in the Angel's Hall incident, he had already used fake fragments to wrap up the real fragments, but Mr. Clock didn't know about this and thought he had obtained all the real fragments.

Therefore, from now on, Qin Zhibo must be careful of all the roads laid by Mr. Clock, which may be traps for him.

Mr. Clock was silent for a while, and sighed stiffly, "That's all we have to do, I will go downstairs first."

"Mr. Qin, we are friends, right?"

Mr. Clock suddenly looked at Qin Zhibo and showed a rare "sincere" smile.

"Yes, friends forever..."

Qin Zhibo also responded with a "laugh".



After leaving the hill and returning to the hotel, Qin Zhibo told Koizumi Hongzi his concerns.

Including how he deceived mr·r·clock under the instructions of Mask before, he may have noticed it and wanted to retaliate.

Therefore, I can't place my hope on the machine prepared by Mr. Clock. If it is a trap, the two of them will be in doom.

Minase Yomu said that there is a passage under the hill, but it is several meters deep underground, and it would take a long time to excavate it by manpower alone.

Apart from this road, there is only another road that Benniu said.

Qin Zhibo knocked on the door of Benniu's room on the first floor, expressing his desire to let him lead the way, just like the old Gray Eagle fifteen years ago.

Of course, there is a reward, a full US$5,000.

However, Benniu directly rejected Qin Zhibo's proposal.

"No, it's too dangerous there. I can't guarantee what will happen down there."

Benniu refused very decisively.

Qin Zhibo saw that money could not move him, so he changed his strategy and began to move him with love.

"Don't you want to know how your father is doing now? What if he is still alive?"

These words made Benniu hesitate for a moment, but his attitude still did not waver.

"The dead are like this..."

"No matter what happens to my father now, his soul will always exist in this land, with the stars, the sun and the moon, and with me."

Seeing Benniu looking like he was not getting enough food and salt, Qin Zhibo was a little annoyed, but he could only settle for the next best thing.

"Even if you can't send us in, you can always take us to that entrance, right?"

"As long as we can come out alive after entering, and we can tell you something about the underground, isn't this a worthless business for you?"

Qin Zhibo's words made Benniu think for a while, and then nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I can take you near the entrance."

"When will you leave?"

"Just tomorrow."

Qin Zhibo said.



The next day, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi put on all their equipment and headed to the entrance of another passage in a running bull pickup truck.

The other passage is not on the plain, but in the valley at the end of the plain, about 40 kilometers south of Binge Town.

The pickup truck bumped for more than half an hour and finally arrived at the valley on the edge of the plain.

According to Benniu, this was also the place where Indians lived hundreds of years ago. Later, due to some reasons, people moved to live on the plains.

Under the leadership of Ben Niu, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi went deep into a steep valley.

There are lush trees growing in the valley, and the lush scenery is completely different from the red clay plain outside.

Standing on the hillside, Benniu stretched out his hand and pointed toward the bottom of the valley.

"That entrance is somewhere at the bottom of the valley."

"I don't know exactly where it is, so I have to rely on you to find it yourself."

Qin Zhibo and Benniu discussed the meeting place after returning, and then parted ways with Benniu. He and Koizumi Hongzi went deep into the valley bottom, while Benniu walked back along the hillside alone.

There are almost no traces of human activity in this valley, so there are no roads. Qin Zhibo, who must walk in front, constantly opens up roads with a short knife.

Koizumi Hongzi followed with difficulty, and after a while, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

For this young lady who has been pampered since birth, such a primitive road is naturally a great test.

And after going deep underground, I still don’t know what kind of environment I will face.

When they were at the hotel yesterday, Qin Zhibo tried to dispel the idea of ​​going down to the mysterious abyss with her.

There must be a narrow escape from death in that place. He should be able to learn magic and so on. Knowledge can be passed on, and he can teach it to her after he comes out.

But Koizumi Hongzi said very firmly that she must go down.

"It's not just about magic, it's about mom..."

Seeing this scene, Qin Zhibo couldn't say anything else.



The two came to the bottom of the valley and kept searching among the lush trees.

In the end, Koizumi Hongzi was the first to discover an unusual place.

It is an entrance hidden among several huge blocks of sandstone. It is extremely narrow at first and only then is it accessible to people.

There are some traces of carvings remaining on the surface of the sandstone next to the entrance. There were once some patterns on it, but they have now been eroded by rain and are unrecognizable.

In addition, there are traces of drilling holes on the sandstone used as the lintel, suggesting that there was once a hinged door here.

"It seems like this is it."

Qin Zhibo's inner intuition was very certain that this was the entrance to the underground world - Kunyang.

Koizumi Hongzi reached out and touched the carvings on the sandstone with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

The two of them checked their equipment one last time and made sure it was enough for a week's adventure in the underground world before stepping into the unknown entrance.

Compared with the narrow entrance of the cave, the passage inside is wider than the entrance of the cave itself.

After walking through a naturally formed path of original sandstone, the cave was transformed into an artificial tunnel made of stone slabs.

After endless years, these stone slabs have been severely corroded in the humid air, and they make the sound of gravel rubbing when you step on them.

On the walls on both sides of the stone road and on the ceiling, there are some disgusting and grotesque pictures, most of which have been preserved.

Using the light of searchlights, the two discovered that the subjects of these patterns were a snake-shaped lizard man and an octopus-headed monster.

Qin Zhibo looked at the octopus-headed monster. The bloated image sat on the base with evil intentions, and he immediately remembered what it was.

Cthulhu.

Are there also followers of Cthulhu in this place?

Qin Zhibo couldn't believe it. Could it be those Innsmouth people below?

Koizumi Hongzi recognized where the image of the snake-headed lizard man next to her came from.

"This should be 'Yinger', the father of snakes."

"This is a very evil god. Legend has it that he once cursed those half-snake people who did not believe in him."

From here on, the two of them gradually began to feel the evil and weirdness here.

The tunnel in the darkness extends diagonally downward in a certain direction without a trace, somewhat similar to the stairs in a dreamland, but there are no steps here, all are slopes.

If you accidentally fall, you will most likely slide down the slope.

Therefore, Qin Zhibo, the leader, was very careful and did not rush to catch up.

Mr. Clock said that if you wait for yourself in front, you will definitely wait for yourself.

After all, the two are "friends"...



After walking downward for more than three hours, Qin Zhibo finally felt some changes in the air quality around him.

Although I didn't have difficulty breathing during the journey just now, I could smell a rotten smell floating in the air, even in the huge cave I passed on the way.

But gradually, the deeper underground where carbon dioxide should be deposited, Qin Zhibo felt an unprecedented fresh smell in the air.

It was at this time that the tunnel finally ushered in a turning point, changing from a downhill road to an uphill step.

As Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi stepped through the roughly carved stone steps, the light of the searchlight with sufficient power became dim.

At the top of the steps, there is a huge stone door.

Passing through the stone gate, the view suddenly opens up.

Behind the stone gate, there is an endless plain!
