After my partner 5t5 talked about cross talk, I became popular

Chapter 44

"It's Zongsuke." Lin Ye shouted in a low voice, "He's still alive."

Gojo Satoru gave a faint "hmm".

"And even brought that box back..."

Lin Ye thought about it, and found that the two had already passed the corridor ahead, so he and Gojo Satoru quietly caught up.

There was a dead end ahead, and Lin Ye was thinking about what Zongsuke was going to do, when he took out the pendant hanging from his neck, and lightly touched one of the turning boards, a moment later, a gate as tall as half a person was on the wall Appeared, he walked in with the person next to him who looked like an assistant.

Lin Ye and Gojo Satoru also came to the brick wall, but they didn't know how to operate it for a while.

"Do you remember how we got here?" Gojo Satoru asked suddenly.

"Well, let me think about it," Lin Ye thought, "Maybe it turned left first, then right, and then made a detour?"

"Correct."

"In other words, we may return to the cursed prison?"

"Yes."

"Oh..." Lin Ye thought about the white coats Zongsuke and his assistant were wearing, and suddenly said, "They...are they researchers?"

"should be."

After Wujo Satoru finished speaking, he tapped the bricks in different positions with his hands, and finally heard a crisp sound different from other bricks.

"Ha, it should be here!"

"En." Lin Ye took out the pendant and put it up, and sure enough, a secret door appeared.

Looking at the dark stairs leading down, Gojo Satoru looked proud: "No wonder that Zongsuke was able to find the small box that Auntie hid in the tree trunk. It seems that he is very experienced..."

On the contrary, Lin Ye was a little afraid, and said tremblingly, "Why is it such a dark place..."

Then he looked at Gojo Satoru sincerely: "Can I take you away?"

"Eh..." Wutiao Wu's throat rolled, and he was at a loss for words for a while.

"Forget it, don't worry about me," Lin Ye pretended to be indifferent, "I'm fine myself."

"Here," Gojo Satoru gave up his resistance and stretched out his hand, "Take it."

"Cut." Lin Ye looked displeased, thought for a while, and simply avoided his hand, and gently pulled the corner of his clothes.

Gojo Satoru chuckled, walked forward without saying anything.

The two of them went deep into the ground silently until they heard the sound of dripping water, and then turned a corner before reaching another wall.

Lin Ye and Gojo Satoru tried the previous method for a long time, but they didn't hear any sound of hollow bricks.

"How could this be..." Lin Ye showed a look of embarrassment, "Is there any other mechanism?"

Gojo Satoru thought about it, but didn't speak for a while.

"Will there be another secret door..." Lin Ye looked up, "Does it have to be knocked on every brick?"

The sound of water was still ticking.

"What do you think they built the stairs behind the secret door?" Wujo Satoru said suddenly, "And there is always the sound of water seeping down here."

This reminded Lin Ye. He felt that there might be some key details that he hadn't noticed just now, so he thought and said: "If there is water, does it mean that we are under the lake? Well, that means, the canyon that locked the curse should be in One side of the island, where it meets the lake?"

"I think it's the same, but this small island is actually not that small," Gojo Satoru analyzed seriously, "Why do you think they insisted on building it near the lake? The soil here is obviously loose and more dangerous."

Lin Ye nodded: "Yes, this is very wrong."

Then he looked at the darkness around him, his breathing became short unconsciously, and he seemed to have a panic attack, "But what should we do now?"

"Don't panic," Gojo Satoru touched Lin Ye's head subconsciously, but quickly withdrew his hand, "At any time, the most important thing is to stay awake."

"Ah."

The temperature of Wujo Wu standing next to him gave Lin Ye a feeling of peace of mind. His fingers lightly lifted up, and he grabbed Wujo Wu's cuff, and his knuckles seemed to rub against Wujo Wu's arm.

Gojo Satoru also became short of breath, but he was still able to suppress it.

Lin Ye began to seriously think about what he missed...

lake water.fall into the lake.Ami?

Lin Ye opened his eyes, and he suddenly remembered when Ami fell into the lake and watched her float up very quickly. He thought it was a little strange at the time, but combined with the fact that the previous curses fell into the water and disappeared, there seems to be an explanation .

"If, according to what Ms. 99 said, the wind here has the power of magic..." Lin Ye deduced, "then the lake here should also have the power of magic, or at least some kind of difference, which can make the curse be removed in an instant -"

Gojo Satoru listened carefully.

"So, here should be a self-destruct mechanism," Lin Ye felt that this possibility was smooth, "Once anything happens, as long as the ceiling and surrounding walls are broken through, the imprisoned curse can fall into the water and disappear."

"That makes sense." Wujo Satoru nodded in satisfaction, "Then the question is, where is the place where the self-destruct mechanism takes place, plus the transition between the human residence and the cursed prison, where should the exit be?"

A place where this layer can be preserved after self-destructing, the answer is self-evident.

The two looked down at their feet together.

Gojo Satoru kicked around, and sure enough, he found a hollow brick in the corner.Lin Ye put the pendant up, and a dark well appeared.

The two looked at each other for a moment, then jumped down the dark well together, and found that it was actually an elevator, but the elevator only went down two or three meters deep and began to move in parallel.

Half a minute later, the elevator stopped, and the door on the other side was opened, white light suddenly overflowed into the small space, Lin Ye hurriedly blocked the light with his hand, and loosened Gojo Satoru's sleeve.

Gojo Satoru was wearing a blindfold and didn't respond at all, but at this moment he showed a momentary look of disappointment.

After his eyes had fully adjusted to the light, Lin Ye found that there was an ordinary corridor in front of him, but the doors on both sides were made of thick metal like a safe.

The two stepped into the corridor, only to realize that it was not quiet here.

An extremely subtle, elusive but endless... roar, echoing throughout the space.

Fortunately, there is a small window on the door of the room.Lin Ye and Gojo Satoru looked in and choked at the same time.

A curse is being tied to a cross-like stake, covered in wounds, while three or four people in white lab coats are gesturing on it.

"It's a second-level curse, so it can't heal itself, nor can its strength." Gojo Satoru added.

Then, one of the older men who seemed to be the leader took out a few injections from the freezer at the back of the room, and the rest of them cooperated and tightened the leather ropes that tied the curse, and at the same time automatically backed away a few meters.

The white coat waited, as if to calm himself down, and then injected the injection into the cursed body.

In an instant, the red "potion" flowed down the cursed body.

The surrounding experimental assistants showed excitement in their eyes instantly, and whispered: "It's done, it's done..."

But this peace did not last long. The curse suddenly roared, and countless black bubbles bulged all over its body. It twisted its limbs vigorously, as if trying to break free, but was restrained by the leather case, so it could only turn into a bang bang bang bang , Those who listened were terrified.

Those black vesicles quickly turned red, and then burst open. Lin Ye thought that there would be some kind of disgusting juice inside, but he was surprised to find that what grew out of it was a lump of flesh similar to human skin.

However, soon, the chunks of meat fell down, and gradually turned into a puddle of blood with hissing and lung-piercing wailing.

Lin Ye was taken aback when he saw the blood, but soon the blood on the ground turned into a wisp of black smoke like a curse that had been exorcised, and it disappeared in an instant.

Lin Ye looked at Wujo Wu, but Wujo Wu had obviously never seen this kind of behavior before, and he took a deep breath unconsciously, his face livid.

Seeing the commotion inside, the two quickly moved away from the window.Lin Ye did not give up, and continued to walk forward with Gojo Satoru.It was only then that I discovered that the same things were done in each room, the only difference was the appearance and level of the curses—but no matter what the curses were, they all disappeared without exception after the injection.

The corridor was coming to an end soon, and Lin Ye couldn't hold back any longer, and asked in a low voice, "What was injected into the curse? Why did you inject something into the curse?"

Gojo Satoru pondered for a moment, "Actually, what I'm more puzzled about is why they recruited so many researchers who can see the curse, and where did they recruit them."

Lin Ye thought about it, but still shook his head.

"There are two kinds of people who can see the curse," Gojo Gojo paused, "either they are talented people, like you and me; or they are..."

"A dying person." Lin Ye received it naturally.

Gojo Satoru nodded, and added, "And I didn't see any magic power on these people just now, so they must not be conjurers or curse masters. But usually, people who are about to die can only see it before they die. The curse will not be seen all the time, these researchers can still move freely, obviously they are not on the verge of death, so this is actually somewhat unreasonable."

"Dying people..." Lin Ye repeatedly smacked these four words, scratching his head, "Hmm... can't think of it."

"No hurry," Gojo Satoru continued to walk forward with Lin Ye, "When the reasoning is hindered, it can only explain one problem, that is, we still have too little information."

"Boom!" There was a violent crash from the front door.

It sounded like flesh hitting metal.

The two hurried over, looked inside, and found that it turned out to be a familiar face—Zongsuke.

"Trash, it's useless for me to keep you. I might as well rely on myself." Assistant Zong held a small wooden box in his hand, with a look of anger on his face, "you can't open things that were hundreds of years ago."

The assistant who was thrown against the iron door was covered in blood, but crawled to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"I'll give you two hours to open it," Zongsuke picked up the man's neck and said viciously, "Otherwise, I'll make you like them."
