Path of the Dead Prequel: Wings of Silver

The sky was covered with dark clouds and turned dark instantly, which was different from the clear sky before we came out. The feeling of moisture slowly seeped in, water droplets swam in the air, and it began to rain. One or two wood owls that were hunting toads in the tunnel were frightened and flew past our car in a panic, sliding further to the other side. Soon the sound of rain swallowed up everything, blending with the flowing water of the pond and brook, blending into the tranquility itself.

We walked half a meter in front of the Cosita totem in silence. The upside-down stone plate rose silently, revealing the secrets hidden behind it. This is a deep and winding path, whipping up a wind that has been suppressed for too long and blowing on the face. The air is mixed with gravel-like impurities, and when it passes through the nose, a strange fragrance is released, as if budding flowers and gurgling water blend together. This feeling is very familiar to me, and it is also to Sister Di. It is very similar to the coolness in front of the waterfall in Nightmare.

The surging wind brought something out and covered it on Krys' face. She reached out and lifted it up to her eyes for a closer look. It turned out to be a perm coupon from the casino. Some people use them to pad their buttocks, and they are located not far behind the stone millstone. Rabbit took it from her hand, stretched out two fingers and began to compare. As he thought about it, the look on his face became more and more surprised, and he couldn't help but look at Sister Di beside him.

Dixie nodded, indicating that she had noticed it, and based on the body language of the three of them, I quickly came to an epiphany. The scrap of paper that was first discovered may not have anything to do with the classic ice cream truck, but was scraped out of the grotto.

"Alex, shall we go in and take a look?"Krys usually rarely encounters this kind of thing. He seemed to be in high spirits and pushed me to ask.

"Slow down, we promised to go back after investigating the device before, and we never thought that Cosita would be a door. The rabbit gnawed on his nail skin, loosened and released his fingers unconsciously, and said,"Never mind it!" Now that everything is out of the way, it would be really disappointing to leave like this. If you have to go in, the few of us will go more than ten meters. Don't go too deep out of curiosity. You must ensure that you can do this."

Before he finished speaking, I was surrounded by two women behind me and pushed in. Rabbit couldn't stop drinking and had to follow. As he walked, he said that he was the most timid one. This atmosphere is full of curiosity. For Krys, it is an exciting adventure; for Dixie, it is an environment that she misses in the nightmares of the past; only I agree with the reminder of the dream catcher, entering a completely unfamiliar environment without any protective measures, The risk of something going wrong was extremely high. Lycu's Ancient Yin House had taught me a long lesson.

Thinking about it, I tried my best to hold them both, indicating that one of them must stay in the tunnel in case the stone millstone suddenly fell and the escape route was cut off. Rabbit Ben Not wanting to be in danger, he returned to where he was and stood down, and told me to keep an eye on them, stop having fun and just keep moving forward. I knew how powerful I was, so I nodded to the dream catcher and turned back to chase them, but I didn’t expect to blink. By then, the two of them had disappeared without a trace.

"It's all your fault for being so verbose. How could I not know the depth?"I complained a few words to the rabbit and started to chase him quickly. Fortunately, the path was a single winding path with no branching caves in the middle. After a few dozen seconds, I broke into a cave the size of a living room and saw Krys and Sister Di. They were walking in the dark. They only talked about it and didn't dare to go too far. This is strange. Normally, people like me who have experienced running underground at night would stumble around. How could they be like Lin Rui? Does that look so easy?

I stretched out my hand to grab the person in front of me, but she bent down and went to the other end of the cave. Just as I was about to catch up, she tripped over a strange rock like an old tree stump under my feet, and fell down. She still fell. Before he could get up, he was pinned down by the black shadow falling from above, unable to move. What's going on? Is there really something weird in the grotto? Just as he was about to call for help, he felt the scent of evil in his breath, and someone filled his lips and tongue. , I am Zhu Bajie and eat ginseng fruit. Before I can feel what it is, my throat suddenly feels sweet, as if it is some kind of berry I swallowed.

When a strange peach-like taste spreads on the tip of my tongue, my eyes begin to become clear. , then raised his head to look, and the person on her back was indeed Dixie. She looked at me with a smile, and there were a few blue berries in her palm. These were the berries in front of the waterfall grotto.

"Don’t you regret not trying them? Now I got my wish. I had this kind of vision when I was in front of the mud pond."She pointed towards the top of the cave wall. Between the black rocks, there was a large piece of such fruit. But what she really wanted to say to me was not this, but the fruit she was holding in her other hand. After helping me lean against the cave wall, she slowly opened her fingers.

It was a strange ring with spikes on the surface. It was made of pure gold and stained with the gravel on the ground. It was looking at me listlessly.

"It was among the sand at the other end of the grotto. When I came over the wall, it was reflected by the flashlight light and I accidentally discovered it."Sister Di took out a handkerchief, wrapped it up and put it into her bra, and said with a smile:"Then when she came over holding the stone wall, she accidentally saw the fruit."

"Hey, you three, that’s enough!"Far outside the cave, the rabbit's cry came

"Eh? What about Krys? Damn it, it’s going to be bad! She must have been so playful that she broke into the ruins deeper into this damn place."I responded to him a few times, stood up and looked around, and saw that the cave was empty. Krys, who was walking in the darkness just now, had already run out of sight. I hurriedly called around blankly, and couldn't help but stamp my feet and sigh. Said:"Where the hell did this go?"

Soon, her figure came out of a path on the right, holding something. Sister Di and I went up to her. Just when we were about to scold her, we were deeply attracted by the thing in her hand. It is a very well-made white high-heeled shoe with various kinds of beads embedded in it. If it is paired with the shape, it will definitely be expensive. Krys saw us touching it and said that he had searched all over the place and only saw this one. The one with the left foot, not the right one. She also knew that big trouble would happen if she walked around hastily, so she didn’t dare to go too far.

"Okay, today's discovery is once again a creation." Sister Di snapped her fingers and motioned for everyone to go back, saying:"Now that you know how to open the stone millstone, you can come back anytime and be fully prepared next time. It's not too late to come back."

This is the advantage of walking with women. Although they are also full of curiosity, they are not greedy to know everything like Fan Fat Glasses. Instead, they know how to measure and fear the unknown. A few minutes later, we returned to the tunnel and met Rabbit was bending over to pick up the cigarette butts we left in the mud. He said that just before he called, he heard the sound of bicycles in the distance. He looked around but saw no one, so he suspected that we might be being followed. So, Sister Di, I returned to the device with him and locked the Cosita totem. When the stone millstone lowered, the surroundings began to murmur again, and the murmurs of the souls began to sound. The baritone voice was like waking up from a dream, repeating the previous questions.

I Remove the gold return line, start communicating with it, and say that our people have recorded the request, but the person it is looking for is far away, and it has not received the answer for a while. This demon soul may have been a kind person during his lifetime, saying I can understand it. Seeing that it was no longer so stubborn, I took a chance and asked it,"You can still keep the secret in your heart, but can you tell me where the secret path behind you is?" After thinking about it, it thought it was harmless, so it just said this The name of the ghost place is Condia. If I want to know more, I should go back to the broken town in Wind Alley and find it in the form of a soul. This is how their intelligence transactions used to be.

"Could it be that someone has done this kind of transaction with you in the past? Who is that? I was shocked and asked:"What should I do?""

"It's a woman, how do I know who it is? And it’s not me she’s looking for. Haven't you been to Luxiang? How could you not know the method? Furthermore, how do you humans operate? How could I know? The baritone thought for a moment and added:"You can't leak the secret. You can't tell anyone, including that big girl." We are very vulnerable and it's all about safety."

Ten minutes later, the four of us returned to the open space of the hotel. When we parked the car, we saw that the lights in the detective's room were still on. We had to walk around far away and sneaked into our guest room. Lying on the bed, I opened the door I roughly described what happened in the Dia cave to the dream catcher. He also said that many things he couldn't understand and suggested that I should consider going down to the arc, so that he could become my helper.

"But I don’t know how to send my soul at all. In the past, it was the Sunset that dragged me in. Later, I was accidentally attacked in the Yin Eclipse Dojo and then passively entered the arc. I didn’t know what to do."I lamented and said:"I also want to uncover many dust-laden secrets like other people's complete birds of prey, but I am really powerless."

"It doesn't matter, our Touyin may know what to do. If you wait another year and a half, he will come to the United States soon. Now all the people in the Dream Catcher Hand have been sent out and are busy with their own affairs. However, I was provoked last time and am still in the period of cultivation."

Just like that, the two of us chatted endlessly. When we got tired, we tilted our heads and fell asleep without even extinguishing the cigarette.

After the rain, it was sunny again the next day, but Krys and I looked different. They were all bad, just because I was woken up by the same call. The caller was Lin Rui, who had repeatedly failed. He called from the glasses house to inform him of the results of the attack on the den of thieves last night.

"How could this happen? Doesn't it help if Charlie is here? Krys stirred the spoon and asked,"What do you think we should do now?""

It turns out that last night, they took advantage of the rain to sneak into an unowned and abandoned house occupied by the Lilith Sisters. They planned to pour oil and burn the damn place, especially to destroy the shrine, so that these thieves would be gone. The bloody night at the top of the mountain had to be postponed. As a result, I don’t know whether Fatty Fan became more courageous because he had helpers, or whether he was blinded by revenge. In short, he was very out of state. As soon as he went up the mountain, he couldn’t control his temper and started yelling. He wanted to chop off the head of the great elder and use it as a urinal, and went on a reckless rampage. Lin Rui and Glasses had no choice but to follow closely. When the three of them broke into the open space, they found that they had already prepared and were surrounded.

They saw all around them It was empty, and then I realized I was in ambush, and I was in a hurry to get out. There was a crossbow sound in the darkness, and the fat man was hit by an arrow on his shoulder and calf. Then seven or eight motorcycles jumped out from both sides and started to pursue. Lin Rui I just glanced back and almost peed my pants. It was not the small group that Sullivan mentioned at all. There were more than thirty people on the other side. Even if the three of them were as brave as the straw boys, it would be difficult for them to fight with bare hands. There were so many crazy thieves and women in the enemy, and it was certain that they would be beaten to death. So they had to run away. During this period, Lin Rui also used the half-demon to hang upside down to avoid the crazy hacking of the female thieves, and took out his glasses. He hid nearby Upon seeing this, the female soldiers in the haystack fired several shots, knocking down the motorcycle riders who were pursuing them the most. Then they drove downhill and rushed to meet them. After a scuffle, they escaped from danger. He fled back to Gibson.

Fan Pang was the most seriously injured and was hiding somewhere to recuperate; the glasses were second, his arm was stabbed with a knife, and his leg was hit by a chain until the bones were broken; the female soldier injured her finger in the fierce battle and could no longer continue shooting; Only Lin Rui was intact, and his face was covered without exposing himself. All in all, this attack was a waste of money. Instead of teaching the other party a lesson, he was almost wiped out. It seems that he wanted to defeat the Lilith Sisters. , far from being as simple as I imagined in the past, the other party has a large number of people, and all of them are fanatical believers, who are not afraid of being beaten. In short, they have left Glasscock County, and they will definitely not be able to return home..

And the most hateful thing is that there is no way to report this matter, because the four people’s original intention was to set fire to someone else’s land. If they are prosecuted, it will definitely be a felony, and they will be sent to prison. But the Lilith Sisters themselves do not They were clean, so they didn't go to the police. They planned to slowly find them and lynch them. In short, they were defeated like a mountain. Without a resourceful person like me, how could it be possible to achieve such a big thing?

"Otherwise, let them come to Black Maple Town first to avoid the limelight. We have a large number of people here."I smoked a cigarette and asked Krys to contact the four people immediately, saying:"This revenge must be avenged. After this shit about Lao Qian is finished, we can make a long-term plan."

"I said that, but Hollisman disagreed. They felt that by keeping Sullivan in Gibson, the silly girl would eventually be killed by the sisterhood, so they were still discussing how to get her out. She grabbed the croissant, took a few bites, and shouted angrily:"This Vans is so bad at doing bad things. It's because he drags everyone down every time." Now that something has happened, it's even harder to escape."

"Let me take a walk with you. There's no point in rushing."I will pack the breakfast, hold her shoulder and walk towards the river. Compared with them, we seem to be living in paradise, surrounded by bustling people, thrushes are jumping on the branches, and the singing is clear and hearty, echoing into the flowing stream After a while, the sparrows hiding in front of the riverbank sang in harmony, and the silence suddenly turned into the sound of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

"Strength in numbers? Do you think Lao Dai, Lao You and the others, as well as those national detectives, will help us do boring things? All we can rely on are the Lancastrians. Charlie is already a gift of friendship, so I have always felt that she is very friendly and a good sister who can be trusted. Krys slapped my butt hard and said,"And the white-collar bitch only knows how to take advantage of us.""

"If, I say, if it were you to do this, how would you deal with it? I want to hear your opinion."Seeing that Dixie was slowly coming back to me, I was confused again, so I quickly changed the topic, pulled her to sit down in front of the strange rocks, and asked

"The main reason is that the time is too short, there is only more than a week before the 15th. If you can have a month or a month and a half, the best way is to break into the Lilith Sisterhood, wreak havoc in the dark, make each other suspicious, and then choose the right time to deal with the so-called Great Elder, both internally and externally. A trace of ferocity flashed in Krys's eyes, and he replied:"That's what I'll do.""

"Krys, listen to me. I'm not a girl, so it's hard for me to understand what girls are thinking and looking at each other."I held her soft hand, put it on my lap, and sighed:"I also want to put on my big wings and fly to them immediately. I haven't seen the female soldier for so long. To be honest, I miss her a lot. This is true. talk. But I hope you can treat Dixie as a partner, a friend you can trust. This way we can put an end to this old money thing as soon as possible and meet them earlier."

"I just can't stand the way she is surrounded by others, but she is actually quite interesting when I get to know her. When you and Dream Catcher were chatting in the tunnel last night, she and I chatted for a while, and I felt that she was quite down-to-earth."Krys blinked his bright blue eyes, suddenly raised his hand to touch my face, and asked:"You may not really understand this, but do you know what will happen when a woman falls in love with someone? I'm worried about you. I'm worried that if you pay too much, you won't be able to bear it if we break up in the future."

This is something I've never thought aboutarea. Krys said that when women fall in love, they will make many changes for men. For example, secretly learning to smoke; for example, casually asking a man how to dress; for example, the taste is slowly getting closer to the man. In short, she will work hard to get closer to the goal in your heart. However, none of these can be seen in Dixie. She has always remained rational and overly reserved, and she has no coquettish tone. All these make Krys feel that there is a generation gap and that she does not look like a woman in love.

"I see."Although she said a lot, I couldn't tell if that was the case, so I took the girl on the cable station as an example and said,"Krys, do you remember the Rosa we talked about last night? You see, Dixie actually hates her to the core, but when talking about her, she always talks about how good others are, which is all praise. This is maturity, and so should you and me."
