Reincarnation Train Restart [Unlimited]
Chapter 134 5 Wells Square 10
This was definitely a shock that was caught off guard.
Behind him was a human head, one with a half neck, the kind that needed to be mosaiced in cross-section.
Looking at the face, it was a man, his disheveled hair slightly covered part of his face, but it did not block his sinister and malicious eyes.
He looked at Wu Xiajiu with his head, as if he was looking at a corpse that was about to die, and now it was just playing around in advance.
Facing Wu Xiajiu's sudden turn around, the man's head seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then he smiled sinisterly, his hair slammed towards Wu Xiajiu like a ball without wind.
At the same time, the things on the shelves on both sides also flew down one after another, throwing them at Wu Xiajiu.
Wu Xiajiu sideways dodged the heavy box that fell from the top of his head, and took the opportunity to stick the talisman on the head of the attacking person, right on his forehead.
Suddenly, the human head wailed, swayed left and right when the talisman was burning, and hit the shelf with astonishing force.
Only a "bang" was heard, and the iron shelf was knocked and broken.
In an instant, the boxes, documents and other sundries scattered on it fell like hailstones from the sky, and Wu Xiajiu had no choice but to quickly leave the area.
It seems to hear the movement from his side, and there are some noises from the other two sides.
Wu Xiajiu retreated to a safe place and raised his head.
The human head was hit by the heavy documents that fell from the shelf before and fell to the ground, but now the documents piled up around it flew up again.
A big hole was burnt on the forehead where the talisman stuck, exposing the bones inside, and the flesh on the face of the human head was picked up ferociously. Enraged, he screamed and rushed towards Wu Xiajiu even faster.
Wu Xiajiu stood there with a calm expression, but raised one hand, with one, two, three... seven talismans between his fingers.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly against the head of the person who came to him, and slowly revealed a "kind" smile.
The human head froze in mid-air for a moment.
When Shi Shangzuo rushed over with a corpse that had been put together indiscriminately, what he saw was a miserable head that had rolled to the ground with its hair and half of its face burned off.
This is a human head that has lost half of its long hair, its face has been disfigured, and its brain is almost exposed. Only one eyeball remains.
On the other half of the face, only the skin from the eyes to the nose is intact.
When Shang Zuo arrived, Wu Xiajiu put away the remaining four talismans and said, "Is that the body of this head?"
One leg and two arms of the body that Shi Shang carried in his left hand were cut off, and then they were installed again, and the two parts were connected with iron plates, just like a mannequin that has been disturbed.
After Shi Shangzuo said yes, Wu Xiajiu said: "Then let's solve it together."
As he said, he took the four talismans into his arms and saved them for use.
This ghost was wiped out by Shi Shangzuo with a knife, and nothing was left, no, there were still some, the iron piece connecting the body fell to the ground, and was kicked to the bottom of the shelf by Shi Shangzuo casually.
"By the way, where's Xiao Fang?" Wu Xiajiu noticed that Fang Zi didn't follow the movement.
Shi Shangzuo: "Go and see him."
As for Fang Zi, who was sought by the two, he did hear the movement at the beginning.
He was almost at the front of a row of shelves, and he could reach Wu Xiajiu by running around from the front.
So, Fang Zi started to run, but suddenly tripped after turning a corner and almost fell down.
Noticing the unevenness of the ground, Fang Zi's eyes lit up, thinking that Brother Jiu would be fine without his support.
What's more, there is a "Zuoyou" who hides his identity over there, so he is not in a hurry to go there.
Fang Zi stood at the position where he almost fell just now, bent down and fumbled, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face. Sure enough, it was here.
The floor here obviously has traces of being lifted up, let me see... where is the source.
How am I going to get into the ground?
When Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo came to find him, Fang Zi was crawling into the last shelf of a large shelf, looking for something with his butt pouted.
And he moved out all the things that were placed at the bottom of the shelf before, and piled them aside.
Wu Xiajiu immediately understood what Fang Zi was looking for, and he said, "This is the entrance to the basement?"
Fang Zi turned his head when he heard the sound, and said with a smile, "Look at what I found. Come on, Brother Jiu, you can also come in and take a look."
Wu Xiajiu readily agreed.
Before Shi Shangzuo had time to say anything, he saw Wu Xiajiu also bent down and got into the last floor of this large shelf, which was more than one meter wide, and it was a little cramped to accommodate two people.
Fang Zi gave way to Wu Xiajiu, and said in a low voice: "The bottom plate of this shelf has been dismantled. If you touch it, there are traces of re-welding on the joints. It must be done by Sun Sheng and his gang."
"After the welding is done, cover it with cargo, so that no one will find out that the floor has been lifted here."
Wu Xiajiu did touch it.
Not only that, but the floor under the shelves has been cut.
It's also hard for Sun Sheng and the others to restore it after finding this basement with difficulty.
Wu Xiajiu knocked on the floor, there was no sound.
Fang Zi muttered to the side: "So, how do we disconnect the bottom plate of this shelf now and find a passage to go down?"
Just as Wu Xiajiu was about to speak, a long knife came across, carefully avoiding where he was squatting, and plunged obliquely into the shelf in front of Fangzi.
Shi Shangzuo's voice sounded, "Get out of the way."
Fang Zi: "..."
Oh, he almost forgot, there are people here who are stronger than him.
Fangzi crawled out of the shelf aggrieved.
After a lot of work, the bottom plate of the shelf was disconnected again. They found the seam that had been cut on the ground and lifted it up. There was indeed a passage extending underneath.
Fang Zi watched from outside, while Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shang left to go in.
This place is a little different from the basement of the Five Wells Hotel and the department store. It is very clean and completely retains the original appearance of the basement.
The moment he saw the same altar again, Wu Xiajiu also saw two red cloths covered with runes and a silver box placed on the red cloths sealed above the wellhead.
The box was open, apparently empty.
Wu Xiajiu stepped up to the altar, took a look at the silver box, stretched out his hand to compare the length and width of the box, it was much larger than the palm of the hand, and lighter in weight.
And the two red cloths are nailed to both sides of the well, if something is put in the box, it shouldn't be too heavy.
After putting it back into the silver box, Wu Xiajiu squatted down again and carefully touched around the well. He raised his hand, and his fingertips were stained with some red powder.
When Shi Shang saw it on the left, he said, "Rust stains."
Wu Xiajiu nodded: "It is indeed rust."
However, the altar is built with bluestone slabs, so how could there be rust?
Wu Xiajiu murmured: "Five wells, four buildings, we still have to find the location of the last well..."
The premise is that Zhong Nan and Tang Yunsi will come back after inspecting the subway tunnel.
"Let's go out." Looking at the time, Wu Xiajiu said to Shishang.
It was almost 3am and they had to leave.
"Don't take the silver box?" Seeing that Wu Xiajiu stood up but didn't take the box above the wellhead, Shi Shangzuo asked.
Wu Xiajiu: "Don't take it anymore, the silver box is useless, and we need to find the treasure and put it back in this place, the silver box is also indispensable."
"It's just that there is no silver box on the altar under the department store. Was it burned by flames?"
Shi Shangzuo: "After the fire broke out, the red cloth was burned first, maybe it fell into the well..."
Before he finished speaking, Shi Shangzuo frowned first.
"Wait." Wu Xiajiu also suddenly remembered something, stopped, frowned and said, "Sun Sheng and the others set the fire first and then went to find the treasure, or did they set the fire after finding the treasure?"
"It should be said that Sun Sheng and the others wouldn't set fire to the second basement floor where there are treasures."
"That way, they wouldn't be able to escape if they were faced with a fire."
"And looking at the environment on the second basement floor of the department store, it is not easy to catch fire at all."
"There is a spraying device on the ceiling. If there is a fire, it will be extinguished immediately, and the second basement is the parking lot. If there is a fire..." That is the possibility of affecting the car explosion.
So, how could Sun Sheng and the others set fire to the second basement floor.
If there is a plan, it must be set on fire above the second floor, and then everyone will be led away to escape, and Sun Sheng, Zhao Cai and others will have the opportunity to look for the basement again.
After all, the basement was behind the wall.
And how did they find it?Surveying with a machine?
Shi Shangzuo was also aware of this problem: "Find the basement in the department store and go behind the wall, there must be no small movements."
"Sun Sheng and Zhao Cai both worked in department stores before. One opened a store and the other patrolled security guards. They must be familiar with the structure and monitoring equipment of department stores."
"Using the convenience of their positions, they probably stayed in the department store at night, and took the opportunity to find the basement and take away the treasure."
"The fire was set off later to cover up the traces. Of course, this is just my guess, and it may not be accurate."
"The most important thing is that we don't know the order in which Sun Sheng and the others took those treasures."
"Although it is obvious that the fire in the department store caused all the strange things to happen frequently and Wujing Plaza gradually became deserted, but this is not enough for us to be sure that the department store was the first place where the treasure was taken away, isn't it?"
Wu Xiajiu: "You are right."
Putting an end to the speculation about the fire in the department store for now, Wu Xiajiu and Shishang went to the left, and together with Fang Zi, they covered the shelves again.
Then, Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo walked towards the exit of the office building.
At 3 o'clock in the morning, Wu Xiajiu returned to Wujing Hotel on time and started his patrol mission.
Shi Shangzuo, as the NPC "Zuoyou", also returned to the room to rest.
But in fact, he got the spare room cards of Zhao Cai, Chen Xing and others' rooms from Fang Zi, jumped out of the window after entering the room, found the location of Zhao Cai's room, and waited for the opportunity...
When Wu Xiajiu was going to patrol the underground garage, he met Su Zhou, Xu Jiu and Chu Ba who came back late.
After patrolling the Wujing Hotel on the eighth day of the eighth day, he saw that his two companions hadn't returned from the department store yet, so he went out to look for them, and they ran into each other halfway.
But Jiu Jiu was severely injured, and was carried on Su Zhou's back, unconscious.
Chu Ba and Su Zhou were obviously very anxious, they didn't see Wu Xiajiu at the corner, but went all the way back to the room with their backs on their backs.
At 5 o'clock in the morning, Wu Xia's long and quiet patrol ended, and Eraser and Xiangzi, who went to patrol the department store, also returned.
But the appearance of the two of them tonight is obviously not as calm as last night. There are scars on their bodies, and their expressions are also terrified, and they haven't calmed down yet.
Tang Yunsi, Zhong Nan, and Phalaenopsis came back together. Seeing them, everyone including Wu Xiajiu was surprised for a moment.
Tang Yunsi shook off the corners of his clothes that were stained with a lot of dust and mud, hooked the corners of his mouth helplessly, and said, "I accidentally rolled into the tunnel, Phalaenopsis pulled me but didn't hold me back, fell into it with me, and finally fell into the tunnel." Nan saved the two of us coming up."
Only Zhong Nan's clothes are cleaner.
But this sentence is a lie, to deal with other people.
After they clocked in in the duty room, Tang Yunsi and Zhong Nan kept calm and did not show any flaws when facing the suspicious eyes of Sun Sheng, Zhao Cai and others.
Phalaenopsis, on the other hand, didn't even look at Zhao Cai and the others, and turned to leave after ticking off the name.
Wu Xiajiu saw the figure for a long time, he woke up from the coma, his face was pale and his body was weak, he needed the support of Su Zhou and Chu Ba to walk to the duty room.
This kind of injury does not seem to be light, tomorrow night...
Zhao Cai sneered at the three of Su Zhou, his eyes flashed a light of indifference watching the play.
Taking advantage of the still time until 7:7 in the morning and [-]:[-] in the third night, Wu Xiajiu and others gathered in the same room to explain each other's situation and discoveries.
After Shi Shangzuo returned to the Five Wells Hotel, he went in to check the room when Zhao Cai, Chen Xing and the other four were not in the room, but there were no useful clues in it.
Tang Yunsi said: "The tunnel is indeed dangerous. I suspect that the basement built there has long been discovered because of the excavation of the tunnel to connect to the subway."
"We were attacked shortly after we entered the underground tunnel."
It was countless corpses mixed in the soil, as if they were going to pull them into the abyss, he, Zhong Nan and Phalaenopsis all used props to struggle out.
Of course, the main role is Zhong Nan and Phalaenopsis. His props have serious disadvantages and have not been used yet.
Thanks to Zhong Nan's blessing, they found the "altar" and "well" under the guidance of the S-level prop "Lucky Panda".
When talking about this, Tang Yunsi looked a little weird.
Zhong Nan said: "Well, I think we all overlooked one point. Wujing Plaza was established a long time ago, and there was no subway at that time."
"Before the subway came along, there must have been other buildings there."
"After the construction of the subway began, it is estimated that the basement there was also dug out."
"But maybe the construction team at that time didn't take it seriously. They built directly on the altar, and the well was directly exposed..."
Wu Xiajiu shook his head and said, "Impossible. These five wells are interrelated. If one well is damaged, the entire Five Wells Square will be affected."
"If the wells in the tunnels had been destroyed when the subway was built, Wujings Square wouldn't have waited until now for frequent incidents, countless deaths, and even desertion."
He spoke for a while in thought.
Shi Shang asked left: "Has the altar been destroyed?"
Tang Yunsi thought for a while, then shook his head: "Probably not, the wall on that side is built above the altar, the altar becomes the foundation, and the well is in the crack."
"We observed outside, and the exposed part of the altar is intact."
Fang Zi: "Then what's going on?"
Wu Xiajiu: "Is it possible... that the treasure placed in the tunnel of the subway station cannot be taken away?"
"What do you mean?" Zhong Nan asked with a confused expression.
Wu Xiajiu said: "You said that you encountered countless corpses attacked in the subway tunnel. They drilled out of the soil and wanted to bury you in it, suffocating to death?"
Zhong Nan nodded: "Yes."
Wu Xiajiu: "I think that during the construction of the subway, the well in the tunnel was not damaged, and the treasure was not found or taken away, because the treasure there cannot be taken away."
"After all, in the notebook found in Sun Sheng's room, there is only one basement where Sun Sheng's elder and another worker entered with a box."
"And he only saw one or a few of the treasures in the silver boxes, not all of them."
"Maybe he guessed the existence of five treasures because of the inertial thinking of five wells."
"The truth is that the treasures of the suppressed well are not necessarily things that can be taken away, but also patterns carved around the well."
"It wasn't until later that one of the wells was damaged, the treasure was taken away, and there were changes that affected the other wells one after another."
"The altar blends into the tunnel, the well exists in the cracks, and the bones in the well melt into the soil of the tunnel..."
"I probably know the properties of these five wells, five elements, and the wells in the tunnels of subway stations are unsurprisingly soil."
"Earth? Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth?" Tang Yunsi frowned and thought, "Since the attribute of the well in the subway tunnel is earth, what are the attributes of the wells in other buildings? Is there any order?"
"I don't know much about this aspect, what attributes are mutually generated and what are mutually restrained."
"In addition, there is another well that we haven't found yet."
Wu Xiajiu found a piece of paper and drew the positions of the four wells on it, and the four buildings were connected diagonally.
He asked, "Isn't it like a well?"
"The entire Five Wells Square is square. These four buildings are connected together. The Five Wells Square is a square well."
Tang Yunsi, Fang Zi and others came over to look at it and nodded in confirmation.
Shi Shangzuo looked at the paper, squinted his eyes, and said sharply: "In the middle of the mouth of the 'well' is that fountain."
Fang Zi's eyes lit up, and he said, "Fountain is a well of water attribute, right?"
Wu Xiajiu: "That's right."
"What we need to confirm now is whether there is a basement under the fountain in the square, whether there are altars and wells."
As he spoke, he picked up a pen and marked it on the paper at the same time. Write "soil" on the subway station, write "gold" next to the words Huanyu Office Building, "wood" for Xinhui Department Store, and "fire" for Wujing Hotel. "Are.
Once all are marked, the whole situation becomes clear at a glance.
He connected them with a pen, and said: "Only when the five elements grow together can life be created, and the cycle is endless. The mutual growth is that wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood."
"Xingxiang is that wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, fire overcomes metal, and metal overcomes wood."
"These five rings are connected to each other, and if any ring is missing, the others will also be disconnected."
Having said that, Wu Xiajiu put down his pen, folded the paper and said, "Now let's see how we can find the well under the fountain."
……
As soon as seven o'clock arrived, they each lost consciousness again, and then woke up in their own rooms. It was the third night.
Wu Xiajiu opened the door and walked out of the room. This time, everyone else had the experience of the second night, and now they accept it calmly.
After Li Shou, Lao Cao and Man Man came out, they took a look and went back to the room again, while Su Zhou and Chu Ba were worried and restless, their faces were pale and ugly for a long time, their bodies had obvious injuries, and they were extremely weak.
As for the three new passengers, Eraser and Xiangzi were full of fear for the upcoming patrol mission.
Lena also seemed unable to bear the seemingly endless night after night of patrolling.
Her hair was no longer combed meticulously, and her hair was a little messy hanging by her ears, her eyes looked around, restless.
She is the task of the 2nd group to patrol the subway station. It is the most relaxed and safe period of time among all patrol tasks, as long as it does not enter the subway tunnel.
Thinking of this, Lina's restless mood was calmed down a little, and she also turned around and returned to the room.
And Su Zhou looked at the long time when it was extremely difficult to even stand, gritted his teeth and thought about it, and walked towards Wu Xiajiu and others.
"Can we...can cooperate?"
At 7:30 in the evening, Su Zhou went to the duty room, tried to trick Sun Sheng, and found out that the underground water control system of the fountain was in the department store.
Su Zhou smiled wryly and said, "Sun Sheng is very vigilant. He only said that the fountains in the square were controlled by the staff of the department store in the past, and he is unwilling to talk about other things."
"But since there is a workshop to control the fountain in the department store, it means that there must be a road leading to the maintenance of the pipes at the bottom of the fountain. We have to look for it in the department store."
Shi Shang left: "The first or second floor of the department store."
Wu Xiajiu nodded: "Indeed, these two places are the most likely places leading to the fountain."
The area of Xinhui Department Store is not small. Although they have been to the first basement and the second basement, they have not gone all the way.
It's not too late now, let's rush to the department store before Group 1 passed during the safest time period.
Except for Tang Yunsi who had to stay at Five Wells Hotel to wait for Group 2 to patrol, everyone including Zhong Nan went to the department store, including Su Zhou, Xu Jiu and Chu Ba.
They left the room separately to avoid drawing unnecessary attention.
Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo were the last to leave.
And when the figures of the two of them disappeared in the corridor of the hotel, a room door that quietly opened a gap was pushed open, and two people, Li Shou and Lao Cao, came out of it.
They also took advantage of this time to leave the hotel.
But Li Shou and Lao Cao didn't notice. Just after they left, the door of another room was gently pushed open...
Phalaenopsis held an unlit cigarette between her fingers, flicked her finger with red nail polish, and leaned against the door frame to look at the backs of the two of them, and said in a low voice: "The time period of patrolling is within our time." Later, go out so early..."
Behind him was a human head, one with a half neck, the kind that needed to be mosaiced in cross-section.
Looking at the face, it was a man, his disheveled hair slightly covered part of his face, but it did not block his sinister and malicious eyes.
He looked at Wu Xiajiu with his head, as if he was looking at a corpse that was about to die, and now it was just playing around in advance.

Suddenly, the human head wailed, swayed left and right when the talisman was burning, and hit the shelf with astonishing force.
Only a "bang" was heard, and the iron shelf was knocked and broken.
In an instant, the boxes, documents and other sundries scattered on it fell like hailstones from the sky, and Wu Xiajiu had no choice but to quickly leave the area.
It seems to hear the movement from his side, and there are some noises from the other two sides.
Wu Xiajiu retreated to a safe place and raised his head.
The human head was hit by the heavy documents that fell from the shelf before and fell to the ground, but now the documents piled up around it flew up again.
A big hole was burnt on the forehead where the talisman stuck, exposing the bones inside, and the flesh on the face of the human head was picked up ferociously. Enraged, he screamed and rushed towards Wu Xiajiu even faster.
Wu Xiajiu stood there with a calm expression, but raised one hand, with one, two, three... seven talismans between his fingers.

When Shang Zuo arrived, Wu Xiajiu put away the remaining four talismans and said, "Is that the body of this head?"
One leg and two arms of the body that Shi Shang carried in his left hand were cut off, and then they were installed again, and the two parts were connected with iron plates, just like a mannequin that has been disturbed.
After Shi Shangzuo said yes, Wu Xiajiu said: "Then let's solve it together."
As he said, he took the four talismans into his arms and saved them for use.
This ghost was wiped out by Shi Shangzuo with a knife, and nothing was left, no, there were still some, the iron piece connecting the body fell to the ground, and was kicked to the bottom of the shelf by Shi Shangzuo casually.
"By the way, where's Xiao Fang?" Wu Xiajiu noticed that Fang Zi didn't follow the movement.
Shi Shangzuo: "Go and see him."
As for Fang Zi, who was sought by the two, he did hear the movement at the beginning.
He was almost at the front of a row of shelves, and he could reach Wu Xiajiu by running around from the front.
So, Fang Zi started to run, but suddenly tripped after turning a corner and almost fell down.

Fang Zi: "..."

Fangzi crawled out of the shelf aggrieved.
After a lot of work, the bottom plate of the shelf was disconnected again. They found the seam that had been cut on the ground and lifted it up. There was indeed a passage extending underneath.
Fang Zi watched from outside, while Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shang left to go in.
This place is a little different from the basement of the Five Wells Hotel and the department store. It is very clean and completely retains the original appearance of the basement.

If there is a plan, it must be set on fire above the second floor, and then everyone will be led away to escape, and Sun Sheng, Zhao Cai and others will have the opportunity to look for the basement again.
After all, the basement was behind the wall.
And how did they find it?Surveying with a machine?

At 3 o'clock in the morning, Wu Xiajiu returned to Wujing Hotel on time and started his patrol mission.
Shi Shangzuo, as the NPC "Zuoyou", also returned to the room to rest.
But in fact, he got the spare room cards of Zhao Cai, Chen Xing and others' rooms from Fang Zi, jumped out of the window after entering the room, found the location of Zhao Cai's room, and waited for the opportunity...
When Wu Xiajiu was going to patrol the underground garage, he met Su Zhou, Xu Jiu and Chu Ba who came back late.
After patrolling the Wujing Hotel on the eighth day of the eighth day, he saw that his two companions hadn't returned from the department store yet, so he went out to look for them, and they ran into each other halfway.
But Jiu Jiu was severely injured, and was carried on Su Zhou's back, unconscious.
Chu Ba and Su Zhou were obviously very anxious, they didn't see Wu Xiajiu at the corner, but went all the way back to the room with their backs on their backs.
At 5 o'clock in the morning, Wu Xia's long and quiet patrol ended, and Eraser and Xiangzi, who went to patrol the department store, also returned.
But the appearance of the two of them tonight is obviously not as calm as last night. There are scars on their bodies, and their expressions are also terrified, and they haven't calmed down yet.
Tang Yunsi, Zhong Nan, and Phalaenopsis came back together. Seeing them, everyone including Wu Xiajiu was surprised for a moment.
Tang Yunsi shook off the corners of his clothes that were stained with a lot of dust and mud, hooked the corners of his mouth helplessly, and said, "I accidentally rolled into the tunnel, Phalaenopsis pulled me but didn't hold me back, fell into it with me, and finally fell into the tunnel." Nan saved the two of us coming up."
Only Zhong Nan's clothes are cleaner.
But this sentence is a lie, to deal with other people.
After they clocked in in the duty room, Tang Yunsi and Zhong Nan kept calm and did not show any flaws when facing the suspicious eyes of Sun Sheng, Zhao Cai and others.
Phalaenopsis, on the other hand, didn't even look at Zhao Cai and the others, and turned to leave after ticking off the name.
Wu Xiajiu saw the figure for a long time, he woke up from the coma, his face was pale and his body was weak, he needed the support of Su Zhou and Chu Ba to walk to the duty room.
This kind of injury does not seem to be light, tomorrow night...
Zhao Cai sneered at the three of Su Zhou, his eyes flashed a light of indifference watching the play.
Taking advantage of the still time until 7:7 in the morning and [-]:[-] in the third night, Wu Xiajiu and others gathered in the same room to explain each other's situation and discoveries.
After Shi Shangzuo returned to the Five Wells Hotel, he went in to check the room when Zhao Cai, Chen Xing and the other four were not in the room, but there were no useful clues in it.
Tang Yunsi said: "The tunnel is indeed dangerous. I suspect that the basement built there has long been discovered because of the excavation of the tunnel to connect to the subway."
"We were attacked shortly after we entered the underground tunnel."
It was countless corpses mixed in the soil, as if they were going to pull them into the abyss, he, Zhong Nan and Phalaenopsis all used props to struggle out.
Of course, the main role is Zhong Nan and Phalaenopsis. His props have serious disadvantages and have not been used yet.
Thanks to Zhong Nan's blessing, they found the "altar" and "well" under the guidance of the S-level prop "Lucky Panda".
When talking about this, Tang Yunsi looked a little weird.
Zhong Nan said: "Well, I think we all overlooked one point. Wujing Plaza was established a long time ago, and there was no subway at that time."
"Before the subway came along, there must have been other buildings there."
"After the construction of the subway began, it is estimated that the basement there was also dug out."
"But maybe the construction team at that time didn't take it seriously. They built directly on the altar, and the well was directly exposed..."
Wu Xiajiu shook his head and said, "Impossible. These five wells are interrelated. If one well is damaged, the entire Five Wells Square will be affected."
"If the wells in the tunnels had been destroyed when the subway was built, Wujings Square wouldn't have waited until now for frequent incidents, countless deaths, and even desertion."
He spoke for a while in thought.
Shi Shang asked left: "Has the altar been destroyed?"
Tang Yunsi thought for a while, then shook his head: "Probably not, the wall on that side is built above the altar, the altar becomes the foundation, and the well is in the crack."
"We observed outside, and the exposed part of the altar is intact."
Fang Zi: "Then what's going on?"
Wu Xiajiu: "Is it possible... that the treasure placed in the tunnel of the subway station cannot be taken away?"
"What do you mean?" Zhong Nan asked with a confused expression.
Wu Xiajiu said: "You said that you encountered countless corpses attacked in the subway tunnel. They drilled out of the soil and wanted to bury you in it, suffocating to death?"
Zhong Nan nodded: "Yes."
Wu Xiajiu: "I think that during the construction of the subway, the well in the tunnel was not damaged, and the treasure was not found or taken away, because the treasure there cannot be taken away."
"After all, in the notebook found in Sun Sheng's room, there is only one basement where Sun Sheng's elder and another worker entered with a box."
"And he only saw one or a few of the treasures in the silver boxes, not all of them."
"Maybe he guessed the existence of five treasures because of the inertial thinking of five wells."
"The truth is that the treasures of the suppressed well are not necessarily things that can be taken away, but also patterns carved around the well."
"It wasn't until later that one of the wells was damaged, the treasure was taken away, and there were changes that affected the other wells one after another."
"The altar blends into the tunnel, the well exists in the cracks, and the bones in the well melt into the soil of the tunnel..."
"I probably know the properties of these five wells, five elements, and the wells in the tunnels of subway stations are unsurprisingly soil."
"Earth? Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth?" Tang Yunsi frowned and thought, "Since the attribute of the well in the subway tunnel is earth, what are the attributes of the wells in other buildings? Is there any order?"
"I don't know much about this aspect, what attributes are mutually generated and what are mutually restrained."
"In addition, there is another well that we haven't found yet."
Wu Xiajiu found a piece of paper and drew the positions of the four wells on it, and the four buildings were connected diagonally.
He asked, "Isn't it like a well?"
"The entire Five Wells Square is square. These four buildings are connected together. The Five Wells Square is a square well."
Tang Yunsi, Fang Zi and others came over to look at it and nodded in confirmation.
Shi Shangzuo looked at the paper, squinted his eyes, and said sharply: "In the middle of the mouth of the 'well' is that fountain."
Fang Zi's eyes lit up, and he said, "Fountain is a well of water attribute, right?"
Wu Xiajiu: "That's right."
"What we need to confirm now is whether there is a basement under the fountain in the square, whether there are altars and wells."
As he spoke, he picked up a pen and marked it on the paper at the same time. Write "soil" on the subway station, write "gold" next to the words Huanyu Office Building, "wood" for Xinhui Department Store, and "fire" for Wujing Hotel. "Are.
Once all are marked, the whole situation becomes clear at a glance.
He connected them with a pen, and said: "Only when the five elements grow together can life be created, and the cycle is endless. The mutual growth is that wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood."
"Xingxiang is that wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, fire overcomes metal, and metal overcomes wood."
"These five rings are connected to each other, and if any ring is missing, the others will also be disconnected."
Having said that, Wu Xiajiu put down his pen, folded the paper and said, "Now let's see how we can find the well under the fountain."
……
As soon as seven o'clock arrived, they each lost consciousness again, and then woke up in their own rooms. It was the third night.
Wu Xiajiu opened the door and walked out of the room. This time, everyone else had the experience of the second night, and now they accept it calmly.
After Li Shou, Lao Cao and Man Man came out, they took a look and went back to the room again, while Su Zhou and Chu Ba were worried and restless, their faces were pale and ugly for a long time, their bodies had obvious injuries, and they were extremely weak.
As for the three new passengers, Eraser and Xiangzi were full of fear for the upcoming patrol mission.
Lena also seemed unable to bear the seemingly endless night after night of patrolling.
Her hair was no longer combed meticulously, and her hair was a little messy hanging by her ears, her eyes looked around, restless.
She is the task of the 2nd group to patrol the subway station. It is the most relaxed and safe period of time among all patrol tasks, as long as it does not enter the subway tunnel.
Thinking of this, Lina's restless mood was calmed down a little, and she also turned around and returned to the room.
And Su Zhou looked at the long time when it was extremely difficult to even stand, gritted his teeth and thought about it, and walked towards Wu Xiajiu and others.
"Can we...can cooperate?"
At 7:30 in the evening, Su Zhou went to the duty room, tried to trick Sun Sheng, and found out that the underground water control system of the fountain was in the department store.
Su Zhou smiled wryly and said, "Sun Sheng is very vigilant. He only said that the fountains in the square were controlled by the staff of the department store in the past, and he is unwilling to talk about other things."
"But since there is a workshop to control the fountain in the department store, it means that there must be a road leading to the maintenance of the pipes at the bottom of the fountain. We have to look for it in the department store."
Shi Shang left: "The first or second floor of the department store."
Wu Xiajiu nodded: "Indeed, these two places are the most likely places leading to the fountain."
The area of Xinhui Department Store is not small. Although they have been to the first basement and the second basement, they have not gone all the way.
It's not too late now, let's rush to the department store before Group 1 passed during the safest time period.
Except for Tang Yunsi who had to stay at Five Wells Hotel to wait for Group 2 to patrol, everyone including Zhong Nan went to the department store, including Su Zhou, Xu Jiu and Chu Ba.
They left the room separately to avoid drawing unnecessary attention.
Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo were the last to leave.
And when the figures of the two of them disappeared in the corridor of the hotel, a room door that quietly opened a gap was pushed open, and two people, Li Shou and Lao Cao, came out of it.
They also took advantage of this time to leave the hotel.
But Li Shou and Lao Cao didn't notice. Just after they left, the door of another room was gently pushed open...
Phalaenopsis held an unlit cigarette between her fingers, flicked her finger with red nail polish, and leaned against the door frame to look at the backs of the two of them, and said in a low voice: "The time period of patrolling is within our time." Later, go out so early..."
