The King Next Door

Chapter 226-230

Chapter 226

Wang Ye and Lei Mu finally found out the correct way to open the door.

Lei Mu inserted the key made of hard rattan into the hole in the wall, and turned it according to the law of left three right two left one.

There was a click, followed by a dull sound.

The organ that had not been opened for more than two hundred and fifty years was awakened, and with the sound of the organ, a downward staircase appeared at the feet of Lei Mu and Wang Ye.

Wang Ye rushed to the front and stepped up the steps first.

Lei Mu followed closely behind.

The stairs didn't do anything, and even the lights turned on automatically when they walked down.

Two rows of fire wires shuttled forward along the wall, illuminating the dark and damp underground space on the second floor much brighter and warmer.

Wang Ye spent some time thinking about the automatic ignition device and the oil in the oil tank. Seeing that there was no big problem, he clapped his hands and continued to walk down.

There are about thirty-three steps, and the average height of the negative second floor is higher than the cellar just now, reaching a little over four meters.

Both Wang Ye's and Lei Mu's eyesight were good enough, not to mention the line of fire lit along the entire second floor wall, which was enough for them to see the entire second floor clearly.

The walls and ground of the second floor have been treated, which is even more refined than that of the cellar. At first glance, it looks a bit like a luxurious version of a large bathtub.

It's just that the baths here are not big, there are only small baths about 2.5 meters long and 1.2 meters wide.

Wang Ye counted, there are fifty-two strip baths in total.

Each bath is identical in shape, save for the liquid in the bath.

"Do you think there is something in these pools?" Lei Mu asked.

Wang Ye is observing. The liquid in the pool is not transparent, and it looks very viscous, so it is impossible to see whether there is anything in the pool.

Both of them used spiritual perception, and they didn't find anything special in the pool.

"It seems to be isolated by something, I can't find anything." Wang Ye withdrew his mental power.

Lei Mu: "Let me try." He intends to use his vines to poke down to have a look.

"Wait." Wang Ye grabbed him, looking a little uncertain.

Lei Mu looked at him: "What?"

Wang Ye rarely frowned: "This pool is not quite right, let's take a look and don't touch the liquid inside."

Lei Mu believed in Da Yezi's intuition very much, and he did not touch it any more. those pools.

The two split up, used their own detection methods to walk through the entire negative second floor space, and finally converged.

"How?"

"Except for the pool, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual, and I didn't find anything else."

The two of them were helpless, and their eyes turned to the nearest pool.

"It seems that if we don't touch these pools, we won't be able to find out anything." Wang Ye touched his chin.

The floating light worm volunteered to dive into the pool to have a look.

Wang Ye flicked the little bug away: "Don't make trouble, the winged ones are diving into the liquid, do you want to be stuck or suffocate to death?" The

floating light worm said that if it found something wrong, it would teleport back to the worm's nest.

"Let me do it. I can manipulate the plants. Once I find something wrong, I can cut off some limbs. At least nothing will happen to the main body." Lei Mu took out a seed.

This is still the seed of He Wuhai Zhiling's magic vine, which is very convenient to use.

Wang Ye thought for a while, and walked around a few nearby pools: "Okay, let's try it, and withdraw if we find something wrong. Choose this one first."

Wang Ye refers to the one with a grayish liquid color. Pools, although it is impossible to clearly detect what is in these pools. But this pool gave him a slightly better feeling than the other pools.

But Wang Ye was still worried, he put his hand on Lei Mu's shoulder, and his mental power stretched along.

Lei Mu knew what he meant, and smiled at the thoughtfulness.

The magic vine grew, sinking in with the spiritual power of Lei Mu and Wang Ye.

Just when the mental power of the two touched the liquid in the pool, Wang Ye suddenly yelled strangely: "Don't resist."

Then, before they could even break free, they were sucked into the pool by a huge force.

Lei Mu was reminded by Wang Ye that he felt that his soul body seemed to be dragged out by the strong suction of the pool, so he stopped fighting immediately and threw himself into the pool together with his body.

The few floating light worms that were left behind danced around anxiously, and immediately used the function of returning to the nest.

Phew, a few floating light worms also disappeared from the negative second floor space.

Only the live broadcaster: "..." was dropped again.

Fortunately, someone manipulated the live broadcaster at the moment, and immediately broke into the pool of gray liquid.

Wang Ye grabbed Lei Mu's hand and showed a strange expression just as he stood still.

Lei Mu saw the surrounding environment clearly, and also showed a strange expression.

They seem to be back in negative second-level space.

"It's different." Wang Ye said.

"Yes, it's different, the fire wire is off." Lei Mu also found out.

Wang Ye took out a large lighting lamp and let it float in the air.

"Did you find any other differences?" Wang Ye asked while looking around.

Lei Mu: "I don't know, I can't tell. But I can be sure that this is not the negative second floor we stayed in before." The

vitality left by him is gone, and the smell of this negative second floor space is also different from before.

Wang Ye held Lei Mu's hand and said, "The space coordinates have not changed. This is the negative second floor where we stayed before."

Lei Mu raised his eyebrows: "Parallel space? Or time travel?"

Wang Ye laughed when he heard that, " If we want to know the answer, we will find out when we go out and have a look."

Lei Mu cast his eyes on the pool they just shuttled through: "Maybe we can go back and have a look."

Wang Ye said enthusiastically: "We can try."

Lei Mu really once again Release the vines of the magic vine, and poke into the pool.

But this time, the gray liquid in the pool became extremely slippery and extremely hard. No matter how Lei Mu tried, the magic vine could not enter the gray liquid.

Wang Ye's eyes sparkled, and he simply squatted down and reached out to touch the liquid in the pool.

Lei Mu couldn't stop it.

Wang Ye saw the finger that was denied entry, "It seems that the same pool can only be shuttled once? Maybe there is a way to shuttle back, but we should not meet the corresponding conditions." "What about the

other pools?" Lei Mu looked at the other pools. pond.

"Go and try." Wang Ye jumped up.

As a result, there were fifty-two pools, all of which refused them to enter. The seemingly soft liquid has all become an indestructible insulating membrane.

Wang Ye even performed an identification technique on Chizi, but he didn't know whether the level of Chizi was too high, or it was beyond the scope of identification. The identification result given by the encyclopedia was only one line: [Sealing pool, necessary conditions for use, detailed conditions cannot be identified , if you want to know more identification results, please upgrade the identification technique. 】

"Seal pool?" Wang Ye said to himself, "What is the seal? Do the fifty-two pools form a seal together, or is each pool a sealed pool?" Unfortunately, there is no written description in the

seal pool space, even Not a single abstract painting.

The two couldn't find any more clues when they saw each other, so they could only decide to go up and have a look first.

During the period, several floating light worms returned home smoothly, and even the live broadcaster followed.

When Wang Ye saw the live broadcaster, although he didn't like having such a guy following their every move, but thinking of the possible source of the live broadcaster, he regained a little bit of confidence.

At least if he and Lei Mu were trapped here, the elders in the family would not know where to salvage them.

From the second floor to the top, the key is also needed to open the door, but fortunately it is the same one, and the opening rules are the same as before.

Insert the vine key into the keyhole and twist.

The upward ladder appears.

Wang Ye still stepped on the steps ahead.

Lei Mu suddenly looked back, and suppressed the slight sense of strangeness.

After entering the cellar space on the first floor, the two became more certain that what they came to was not the cellar they had come to before.

It looks the same, but there are complete altars, torture pillars, stone benches and other items in the originally empty cellar.

The smell of blood became stronger and fresher.

Moreover, the passageway between the cellar and the ancestral hall above was not sealed, and even the dismantled wooden steps appeared against the wall. From the wooden steps, one layer of concealed sealing board was pushed away, and it came to the ground.

When going up from the cellar, the two of them were more cautious, entered the worm nest together, and used the stealth method to push the sealing plate open a little gap, and slipped out.

The buildings outside don't look like ancestral halls, more like temples.

The building has no walls, only roofs and pillars, divided into front and back.

Wang Ye Leimu came out of the apse.

There is no one in the front hall and back hall.

Only in the middle of the front hall is a statue as tall as a man.

It looked like it had been burned and smashed, the statue fell to the ground, most of its body was charred.

The two of them came out of the nest after making sure that the surroundings were safe and that the statue was just a statue.

The first thing Wang Ye did when he came out was to look at the space coordinates marked on the scroll of stars. After reading it, a little weird smile appeared on his face, as if he had discovered something.

But he didn't tell Lei Mu immediately, but planned to take another look.

When Wang Ye and Lei Mu saw the statue at first glance, they recognized that this statue was exactly the same as the one they found, with its sitting posture, fuzzy facial features, fuzzy clothes, and writing on the chest and back.

But this time, even if the statue was burned, the writing on the back of the chest is relatively clear.

It is the word of this world.

Fortunately, Wang Ye could see the original text of this world, and compared the meaning of the original text, he quickly recognized what the characters before and after were.

"The text on the chest should be the local way of writing Baale. The text on the back is a symbol representing infinity in this world." Wang Ye told Lei Mu.

"There was a battle here not long ago. There are still bloodstains on the ground." Wang Ye rubbed a little fire ash again, twitched his fingers, and judged that the statue and temple had been burned for no more than five days.

Wang Ye also wanted to say that although this statue is big, it doesn't feel as good to him as the small statue found in the village chief's house, as if the consciousness and energy inside the statue had disappeared.

Lei Mu suddenly raised his finger to the sky: "Look at the color of the sky here."

Wang Ye raised his head.

The live broadcaster also looked up the camera.

I saw a grayish-yellow color above my head, and the whole sky looked extremely oppressive.

Compared to the two people who were present at the scene, the audience watching the live broadcast didn't feel depressed at all, they only felt excited, and were very interested in this gray goose village that looked different.

"The surrounding plants are also not right. Some of them seem to be dead or dying, and some of them seem to be mutated." Lei Mu walked to the side of the mountain and gently touched a weed that was struggling to grow.

The weed seemed to feel something, and gently rubbed against Lei Mu's finger.

Lei Mu bestowed it with a bit of life force, and the weed that was about to die instantly regained its vigor visible to the naked eye.

Lei Mu tried to communicate with Weed, hoping to get some information.

"It looks a hundred times worse than the hazy weather on Earth. The energy here makes people uncomfortable, how are you?" Wang Ye was worried about Lei Mu and walked to him.

Lei Mu's fingers were still sticking to the surface of the weeds, saying that there is no need to worry about him: "The air quality here is indeed very bad, but it is not too bad to breathe, but if the energy here can not be absorbed, it is better not to absorb it, it will affect our health. Mind and spirit."

Wang Ye was immediately vigilant: "So bad?"

He had no doubts about Lei Mu's judgment, Lei Mu, as the tree of life, was much more sensitive to environmental changes than he was.

"Let's see first. If we can't go back for a while, I'm afraid we won't be able to absorb the energy here. I'll try to integrate and filter it." Fortunately, Big Leaf has a similar experience in Jupiter, so he won't be numb when he comes here .

For this reason, Wang Ye specifically asked the planktonic light worm if he wanted to come out for a stroll.

When the floating light worms heard that there was a problem with the energy outside, not only were they not afraid, but they all clamored to get out of the worm nest.

Their planktonic light worms like all kinds of energy, and the energy that is problematic to Lei Mu Wangye is just a food with a special taste for them. Maybe if they ran out and waited longer, they could mutate further.

Wang Ye followed the wishes of these little bugs and released them.

When the floating light worms first flew out, they showed that they were not used to the air and energy here than Wang Ye Leimu, but within ten minutes, they flapped their wings and flew together again.

"Go to the place where Xiaoyun and Liu's mother and son are staying, and see if they are there." Wang Ye found something for the little bugs.

The light worms of the mayflies immediately flew to the southwest of the original Gray Goose Village together after receiving the order from the worm king. There used to be a small forest there, and Wang Yeleimu made an appointment with Xiaoyun and the others to meet there.

"If we have come to Gray Goose Village at the wrong time, then Xiaoyun and the others are most likely not there." Lei Mu said.

Wang Ye: "I know, let's take a look first."

After Wang Ye and Lei Mu got used to the energy here, they also went down the mountain.

There is still a small village at the foot of the mountain, but this village seems to have been abandoned not long ago, and there are traces of fierce fighting everywhere.

Many houses were burned down, and the fire has naturally extinguished, leaving only the burnt black lacquered ruins.

Wang Ye went to investigate the destroyed and abandoned villages, and Lei Mu was looking for plants nearby to communicate.

An hour later, the two met and exchanged clues they had found.

The planktonic light worms also came back and told the two that they did not find Xiaoyun and Liu's mother and child, and even a small forest in the southwest was gone.

"A lot of people died in this village, but the corpses disappeared, and all the valuable things in the house were taken away. It means that someone came to clean the battlefield." Wang Yexian said.

Lei Mu: "The plants here tell me that this village is also called Gray Goose Village. The whole village believes in the god Balak, and has harmed many people. But because the terrain is relatively hidden, no one has been discovered until they arrived in Banyue. A young man who traveled here was sacrificed to God Balak before. They thought that the young man who looked rather down-and-out was just an ordinary person, but they didn't expect that the other party's background was not simple.

Just five days ago, a group of spirit planters entered this village, saying that they wanted to eliminate the accomplices of the evil god, and they did not let any villager go. They killed all of them, from old to young, including newborn babies. After killing the whole village, the group of spirit planters set fire to it, dragged out the corpses of the whole village, burned them and buried them.

Two days ago, another group of people arrived. The goal of these people seemed to be looking for something. They looted all the slightly valuable items from the villagers' homes, and finally went up the mountain, which is the place we came out from. "

Wang Ye raised his finger: "Wait a minute, who burned and smashed the evil temple on the mountain?"

Lei Mu's answer was beyond Wang Ye's expectation: "It's a villager. " Not all the villagers were killed, and a few escaped. After the planting killers left, they ran to the mountain to pack up the temple's belongings, and took away a small statue. I don't know if it was to cover up people's eyes and ears. Deliberately burned and smashed the evil temple. These few people also entered the village, but only packed a few things in their respective homes.

"It seems that we have really come to Gray Goose Village at different time points. " "Wang Ye murmured.

"I have an idea. "Lei Mu's eyes moved slightly.

Wang Ye was refreshed: "You say. "

Lei Mu: "I suspect that the reason why the Pearl of the Sea in this world has become Lao Lai, an existence that even the consciousness of the world cannot drive away, may be related to the fifty-two seal pools. "

"Go on. "

"First of all, let's assume that the biggest boss in this world is the evil god Bale, and Hai Mingzhu is the lone hero who wants to destroy the evil god. "

"Well. "

"If this premise is true, and Hai Mingzhu's ability is almost equal to that of the evil god Balak, and the evil god Balak wants to escape Hai Mingzhu's pursuit, what will he do?" "

Wang Ye blinked: "Absorb and hoard energy everywhere, form gangs everywhere, and find a way to kill Hai Mingzhu."

Lei Mu nodded: "That's it. Then Hai Mingzhu can't completely destroy the evil god Balak, what will he do?"

Wang Ye replied along the way. : "Seal."

Lei Mu looked at Da Ye Zi with a smile.

Wang Ye leaned his head on Lei Mu's shoulder: "Mumu, I think I'm not as smart as you since I got the buff that lowered my intelligence~"

Lei Mu pinched his long ears, "Stop being coquettish, don't talk You didn't think of this. After you knew the names of those pools, you already thought of this possibility, right?"

Wang Ye chuckled, and he didn't deny it: "I'm just surprised, why there are fifty-two pools. Could it be this There are fifty-two parallel spaces in the world? The evil god Balak scourges one, and Haimingzhu seals one?" "

It doesn't have to be a parallel space, maybe they divided the entire Canglan world into fifty-two parts, and the evil god Balak is in every If one part makes waves, Hai Mingzhu will go to seal one part. As for the space under the Gray Goose Village ancestral hall, including the whole Gray Goose Village and the surrounding area, it is an anchor point, or it can be said to be the center point, just like the eye of the whirlwind." Lei Mu said casually.

But Wang Ye straightened up suddenly, and hugged Lei Mu: "Mumu, you are amazing! You helped me solve a big problem that I couldn't figure out! I just said how could that evil god Balak be so powerful, and he could Constantly create parallel spaces. If you just divide a world into pieces as you said, it will be much easier."

Wang Ye really didn't expect it. In his heart, he overestimated the power of the evil god Balak, so he thought about how Balak did all this according to the thinking of a super expert, and he got involved in it after thinking about it.

Wang Ye happily snapped his fingers twice: "When I came out of the cellar below, I found that the spatial coordinates here are different from the coordinates of Gray Goose Village before. Do you know what this means?" "This is not Gray Goose

Village "

Hahaha. Yes, this is indeed not Gray Goose Village. Although this hill looks like it, it is not. The direction is wrong. You are right, the sealed pool at the bottom is a central point, and the coordinates of this point It remains the same, but every time you come out of a pool, its corresponding cellar exit will change."

Lei Mu understood, "That is to say, there are very likely fifty-two exits from that sealing pool, but we can only see If you get one, you can only open one."

"Yes!"

The audience watching the live broadcast let out a long breath. These two people are really too smart. In such a short period of time, they found the background truth that can make them think about it.

But then Wang Ye turned bitter: "Hell, if there are really fifty-two seal pools, is it possible that we have to enter these seal pools one by one to find all the sea pearls?" Wang Ye said here

, As if thinking of something, coldness appeared in his eyes.

Lei Mu heard Wang Ye whispering to him.

What Wang Ye told Lei Mu was: "If the evil god Balak is evil, and Hai Mingzhu is the existence of sealing evil and suppressing evil, why does the world consciousness of this world want us to take Hai Mingzhu out?

" The world consciousness looked for a reason: "Perhaps he is in disguise and wants us to help Hai Mingzhu deal with the evil god Balak? After all, if you want to take Hai Mingzhu away, if you want Hai Mingzhu to leave us willingly, you have to solve Hai Mingzhu's serious troubles." Wang

Wang The meaning of Ye is unclear: "Hmm... Do you think that Haimingzhu is the body of the evil god Balak? Or that the consciousness of the Canglan world itself is the body consciousness of the evil god Balak?"

Lei Mu was taken aback. He didn't expect these two possibilities at all!

The two of them communicated through sound transmission, and they didn't say it out loud. They don't know whether the world consciousness in this world is good or bad for the time being, so they can only keep it secret as much as possible.
