Yin Tiger 16
There was no one in the Colosseum at this time. Yan Ke frowned. Did he blow up all those so-called guests? This shouldn't be right.
But he still chose to continue listening to Mu Ning's explanation.
"There were 12 people who came in with us. I still don't know the exact symbol, but one person said he had passed two copies. Unfortunately, we saw his face sewn to the back of a live snake at the auction."
Yan Ke asked: "You mean that person is dead."
Mu Ning nodded: "At that time, Xie Zhi, the man who claimed that he had passed the dungeon twice, said that he could find some clues about the owner of the Colosseum. Due to lack of manpower, he asked many people to go with him. Then..."
"And then they all died." Li Heng added: "The captain tried to stop them and was beaten."
Nan Yu asked doubtfully: "Captain? I wanted to ask you guys who you are and what your relationship is?"
Li Heng didn't know where to start, but he said hesitantly: "This..."
Yan Ke stopped him and said, "Nanyu, if he doesn't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. Don't..."
"It's hard to force people, isn't it?"
Mu Ning looked at the few people and coughed a few times.
Yan Ke said directly: "Well, you continue."
"It's like this. After Xie Zhi left, we served wine to the guests according to the requirements of our daily tasks. Everything went smoothly. During this period, we learned that the opening order of the Colosseum is every day."
Yan Ke was surprised, but also expected it.
"We haven't been to other areas before. There are many elevators, but most of them are open only at specific times. If we, the waiters, mistakenly enter, we will be punished. Since we don't know the degree of danger, except for Xie Zhi and his group, we have not explored other elevators."
Mu Ning spoke slowly and calmly, but he could sense a different atmosphere spreading around everyone.
Yan Ke asked Mu Ning: "How much do you know about slaves?"
At this time, Mu Ning said, "This is what we heard by chance. Slaves are men, women, and children who were trafficked. When they first arrived, they were thrown into the Colosseum by the Colosseum owner. Those who survived became warriors, and those who died were fed to the giant beasts. I suspect that the floor before entering the illusion just now was the preparation area for entering the Colosseum."
Mu Ning followed the others to check in this empty Colosseum and found many abnormalities: "But this Colosseum seems to have been abandoned for a long time. No one has come up to clean it. The grass has grown so high."
"This is bound by rules. If you don't break the rules, you'll be safe. Xie Zhi and the others, including the corpses in the auction, broke the rules and were killed by the Colosseum owner or transformed into some strange creatures."
"Then we met you. You blew up the auction, and we followed you. Now it is certain that we broke the rules by using the elevator. I don't know what the rules are, but it is certain that the owner of the Colosseum arranged all this to monitor us all the time, like a peeping perverted killer. The waiters, masked men, guests, slaves, and warriors are all under his surveillance."
Yan Ke nodded: "In fact, there is one more thing. Those who are transformed in the transformation area have violated the rules, but I have a guess as to what the rules are." Yan Ke stopped and looked up at the sky and said: "What do you think is the connection between the abnormality here, the incense that appeared just now, and the signs of disrepair?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Yan Ke said: "Actually, I didn't find anything, but the incense and the illusion that appeared could actually hurt us, which means that the incense was the medium that sent us to the illusion. Also, it's strange that the elevator has two floors."
"We are now free from the floor restrictions, but in fact we are constrained by our own time. Now, our first consideration is to find the person who lit the incense and solve our food problem. We can't hold out for long. This place is so empty and dilapidated. Beast fights will not be held here, which means this is an abandoned area. And did you notice that the sky here is real, while the sky when we first came in was fake. So, we can leave this Colosseum and go out to take a look."
No one paid any attention to what Yan Ke said.
What is true or false, there are almost no clues, and the danger level is extremely high.
"You should remember that there was also surveillance in that room just now, but the surveillance area was the other first floor and the elevator. This person should not be the owner of the Colosseum. Let's not talk about how he left, but we can make a bold guess. If he is the same person as us, then he should not be able to get far."
Fang Yu suddenly realized and said, "Yes, I just saw a human figure swaying above, and I thought it was an illusion caused by my nervousness."
"Which direction?" Yan Ke asked.
Fang Yu pointed upwards: "There."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Nan Yu said.
"How do I know if it's a person or an illusion?"
Fang Yu said with some grievance.
Yan Ke grabbed Nan Yu and said, "Don't chase them yet, so as not to alert the enemy. We can do this..."
Yan Ke called everyone over to discuss countermeasures.
…dividing line…
When they arrived at the edge of the Colosseum, they found that it was filled with persistent fog and they could not get through at all.
"It's too risky to go there like this."
At this time, Gao Xu had already woken up. He regained consciousness when Mu Ning was talking there, but his wounds had not yet healed completely. He endured the pain and listened to the whole process. Finally, the pain became numb and he gradually got used to the feeling. He was carried on Li Heng's back at this time, and his brain was working rapidly. "If that person is a human, there must be a passage here, but we haven't found it yet."
As soon as the voice fell, Meng Yueyue's voice was heard saying, "There is a passage here."
After hearing this, everyone looked over. It was truly an unexpected place, right under their noses.
Fang Yu said excitedly: "Nerd, it still has to be your head."
Gao Xu smiled bitterly.
When they walked over, they found that the passage was not very wide. There was barely room for one person to pass through. People like Yan Ke and Li Heng had some difficulty in their height, but they still got through.
After they went in, they found that there was a combination lock here, which was in stark contrast to the desolate Colosseum outside.
This really stumped everyone. Yan Ke and the others were squeezed in this place which was not spacious but much wider than the aisle and looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Well, there's a lock, what should I do?" Meng Yueyue asked anxiously.
Gao Xu stood against the wall, his forehead covered with sweat. Li Heng handed him a tissue and a pill and said, "Are you okay? This medicine is a reward for clearing a level before. It can heal your injuries."
Gao Xu took it and ate it without asking any questions.
Li Heng glanced at Mu Ning, and Mu Ning walked straight forward, took out a mini handheld game console from somewhere, and started operating it. In less than three minutes, with a "ding" sound, the combination lock was opened.
Fang Yu and the others were so shocked that their eyes widened: "Oh my god, beautiful lady, you have this skill."
Mu Ning said, "Someone didn't set up a firewall."
Li Heng gave a thumbs up and said, "As expected of you."
When everyone saw the scene in front of them, they got goosebumps.
The familiar aroma lingered in this vast field, but it did not enter the illusion. A huge statue stood there, and under the dim light, Yan Ke and others felt the shock of the supernatural work.
There were a few people wearing black cloaks standing below, looking up at the people who suddenly appeared, as if waiting for something.
"They're here." Someone said affirmatively.
Here is another statue, but it is huge, tall, and full of murderous intent.
The statue had a unique shape, with eight heads and eight arms, a ferocious face, and weapons in each hand. It stepped on a ferocious beast, like a tiger crawling at its feet. The front of the statue was filled with incense sticks. The group of people stood in the dim light, looking at Yan Ke and the others, as if they were waiting, or as if they were expecting something.
Yan Ke and the others walked down the stairs, walked straight up to the men and asked, "Did you lead us here?"
The person who spoke to him was a white-haired young man with a handsome face and a calm expression. He smiled and said, "Yes, outsiders, we need your help."
At this time, the game panel suddenly displayed: [The mission progress is 80%, destroy the Colosseum owner, and rescue the slaves mission begins. ]
"We need your help." said the white-haired young man.
"Why us?" Gao Xu asked everyone's question.
The white-haired young man smiled and said, "It's not just you, but they all failed." That smile was full of bitterness and was difficult to express in words.
Nanyu looked at Yan Ke: "This is the trigger for the plot."
"It should be." The words of the two fell into the ears of the white-haired young man.
The white-haired young man said, "Would you mind listening to our story?"
Before anyone could react, the white-haired young man spoke.
"It's a long story."
……remember……
Ten years ago, a serial murder case occurred. The murderer was rampant and cruel, and the number of victims reached thousands. With so many victims, it was taken extra seriously.
The deceased was placed in a glass jar, but because the glass jar was severely damaged and the marks on the body were excessively decayed, the evidence was severely destroyed. However, among the dozens of glass jars found, investigators discovered a horrifying fact, that is, most of the victims were transformed into strange creatures while still alive.
The slow pace of case handling, the high difficulty level, and the daunting challenges faced were all unprecedented.
A murder case, a force hidden in the dark, and a group of perverts with special hobbies.
It also involves cult organizations, large-scale trafficking groups, huge profit networks, and bizarre urban legends.
The most difficult reason for handling the case is that the people involved are top figures in various industries, and the relationships between them are complicated, so the case was shelved for a time.
The story begins in a spring more than ten years ago.
