After entering the restaurant, Gu Shi felt that he had been cheated.
From outside, you can clearly see people entering the restaurant one after another, but the hall is empty with only a few tables of guests sitting there.
Forget it, I'm here anyway.
Thinking of this, Gu Shi found a table to sit down and ordered a few dishes.
The restaurant serves food at a decent speed, but the taste of the dishes is just average. Some of the dishes might be considered good under normal circumstances, but for those who had raised their expectations too high before entering the restaurant, all of them failed to meet the standards.
Gu Shi sighed, but didn't plan to leave.
He has no habit of wasting food. If it doesn't taste good, then it doesn't taste good. At least he can fill his stomach.
Because he had no appetite, Gu Shi ate slowly. When he was halfway through his meal, a loud noise suddenly came from the restaurant.
Gu Shi turned around curiously and saw a group of people in the box walking out, surrounding a person in a lively manner.
"Blair...?"
Gu Shi discovered that he knew the person surrounded by stars in the crowd, but he was not sure.
This person was very different from the Blair he knew. Although his face was still the same, his temperament was completely different. He became dark and gloomy, as if he had become a different person.
Blair didn't notice Gu Shi who was staring at him blankly, nor did he pay any attention to the group of people beside him. He walked straight out of the hall, got into a luxurious carriage and left.
After accidentally meeting Blair, Gu Shi finished the meal without any appetite.
In Gu Shi's judgment, Blair must have had a connection with the demon that appeared last time. Although the demon has been dead for a long time now, there is no guarantee that he will have any other tricks up his sleeve.
Gu Shi had a premonition in his heart that the traces they found in the sewer these days were probably related to Blair.
The hexagonal main body, strange symbols and other complex patterns filled in, this is most likely a magic circle with unknown function.
Judging from the area they have explored so far, it is very likely that it directly covers the entire city.
These traces appeared about a year ago. According to the timeline, it is entirely possible that Blair was the mastermind behind this incident.
Although he certainly couldn't achieve this with his personal strength, judging from his clothes and the carriage behind him, it can be seen that Blair is quite rich now.
It is not a problem at all to use money to pave the way and find someone to do this for him. It is true that money can make the world go round.
Gu Shi didn't know whether his guess was correct. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. He wished he could rush into the sewer right now to verify his idea.
But the weather didn't allow it, so Gu Shi had to go back to the hotel after dinner.
"What happened? Why are you so listless after coming back from going out?"
Seeing Gu Shi's unusual expression, Zhao Zhize asked with concern.
Cheng Xuqing, who had just gotten up and finished his meal, also said, "That's right, you look so bad."
Gu Shi just gave a vague explanation: "Nothing, I just had a bad feeling suddenly, I just hope it doesn't come true."
It would be better not to tell them about something that he himself has not yet confirmed. It would be bad if it made them worry too.
Gu Shi lay on the bed and said to himself, "I hope it will clear up soon."
Unfortunately, Gu Shi’s hope did not come true. Heavy rain fell for three consecutive days before the dark clouds over Root City finally dissipated.
On the day the sun came out, Gu Shi couldn't wait to come to the sewer entrance, but unfortunately the accumulated water in the city had not been drained yet, and the water flow in the sewer was still very rapid.
It looked like the platforms with traces would likely be submerged by the water, making it inconvenient to explore, so he decided to wait another day.
The next day, Gu Shi prepared to set off early in the morning.
Before leaving the hotel, Zhao Zhize specifically warned him, "I don't know what you've been worried about these days, but safety comes first. Be careful in the sewers by yourself. If you encounter anything, it's best to run away."
That’s right, Gu Shi didn’t plan to bring Cheng Xuqing and Zhao Zhize with him this time.
The main purpose of Gu Shi's operation this time was to confirm whether a corresponding circular pattern would appear at the location marked on the map. The faster the better, so it would be more convenient for him to act alone.
Gu Shi replied: "Don't worry, I value my life the most, and we haven't encountered any accidents before, so we won't be so unlucky."
"Be careful on your journey."
"Yeah, let's go."
Gu Shi came to the sewer. After staying there for so many days, he had gradually become accustomed to the intricate roads here. He soon came to a circular pattern that they had already identified.
Gu Shi roughly judged the direction and then ran at full speed.
"It's almost here, let's look for it."
Gu Shi took out the tools he had prepared in advance and started sweeping the floor. The heavy rain in the past two days had caused a lot of silt to accumulate on the ground of the sewer, and he had to clean it carefully to see clearly whether there was what he was looking for on the road.
Soon the road was cleared, and the fourth circular pattern appeared here just as Gu Shi had expected.
Gu Shi sighed secretly. After this pattern appeared, the possibility that these lines were a huge magic circle greatly increased.
He didn't have much time to think. After drawing the symbol in the circle, Gu Shi started running to the next place.
Searching one by one, these circular patterns were finally connected into a complete hexagon on the map. Gu Shi also ran through most of the city of Root in the sewers.
When he came out of the sewer, it was completely dark around him and the moon was already high in the sky.
He couldn't feel the change in light in the sewer, and Gu Shi thought something was wrong as soon as he came out.
"It's over. I accidentally stayed up so late. I wonder if they think something happened to me. I need to go back quickly."
Sure enough, when he returned to the hotel, Cheng Xuqing and Zhao Zhize were still awake and sitting in front of the first floor door waiting for him to come back.
Looking at their expressions, Gu Shi was the first to admit his mistake, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to the time downstairs, and only realized it was so late after I came out."
Although he admitted his mistake sincerely, he still couldn't escape Zhao Zhize's nagging in the end, and Cheng Xuqing kept agreeing with him, adding fuel to the fire.
After confirming that he truly realized his mistake, the two men let Gu Shi back into the room.
