Chapter 9292

Gin looked at the surreal scene before him and for a brief moment wondered if he was really poisoned, which led to his hallucinations.

But after a moment, he decided to accept this magical scene - after all, compared to being poisoned himself, the reality was better.

The round watermelon in front of me kept becoming flat, and in the end it looked like a watermelon carpet... No, it was not as big as a carpet. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as a watermelon shield.

Gin looked over there, but his peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of a sharp reflection on the edge of the wall in the dim environment - there was something on the west wall!

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—”

Several short and dense sounds of breaking through the air were heard. Gin, who had experienced the wind and rain of the battlefield, reacted very quickly and turned sideways to hold up one side of his coat, using his specially made black windbreaker to resist the incoming crisis.

"!" Asahi Yuaki, who was still being held by Gin with one hand, felt his vision go dark and his whole body was trapped in the windbreaker.

Instantly, he heard the sound of a sharp instrument piercing something, followed by the sound of corrosion. The air was filled with the foul odor of corrosive liquid, mixed with a faint fruity scent.

...Wait, fruity scent?

Chaohi Xiqiu carefully raised his hand, pulled open a corner of his black windbreaker, and looked into the distance through the gap.

There was a round and flat watermelon shield in front of him, with dense arrows stuck on it. The arrows seemed to be poisoned, and the liquid on the arrows corroded the watermelon skin, but ultimately failed to penetrate the flat watermelon. The flat shield watermelon perfectly blocked all the arrows shot from the west.

Chaori Xiqiu: I never thought that the watermelon man who was looked down upon actually has his own magical uses!

Gin heard the surroundings quiet down, so he put down the arm that was holding up the windbreaker and put Asahi Yuki on the ground. His eyes fell on the flat watermelon in front of them that blocked the poison arrows, his expression paused slightly, and his eyebrows raised slightly.

Let’s not talk about whether ordinary watermelons are this hard...how did this thing bounce off the ground and stand upright in a second?

Chao Ri Xi Qiu looked up, his eyes full of stars, and he said in an exaggerated tone of surprise and emotion: "Thanks to you for looking down on it, we have the watermelon shield!" He patted Gin with his hand and said maturely, "It turns out that looking down on it was also part of your plan."

Gin: “.”

Gin was silent for half a second. In order to avoid mental pollution, he decided not to try to understand the magical reality happening before his eyes.

He turned his attention back to the key point at the moment - that is, finding Karasuma Renya.

Just now, he thought he had reached a dead end. Now it seems that since there is a defense agency here, there may be a further path, maybe he can look for it again.

Gin narrowed his dark green wolf eyes and scanned the dim space. He was alert and alert to other mechanisms that had not yet been triggered. His leather-gloved hands slowly brushed across the plain wall beside him.

His expression was serious and inquisitive, and in his ears was the background sound of the fox-eyed child mumbling to himself.

Gin thinks: There are no strange texture patterns here, and no new clues can be obtained.

Chaori Xiqiu: "Watermelon-kun! Even if you are looked down upon, you must cheer up!"

Gin's thoughts: There are no unnecessary bumps or grooves, and it doesn't look like there is any operable mechanism.

Asahi Yuaki: "By the way, if I look at the hair on Watermelon, will it become a hairy melon?"

Gin thought: The walls are so smooth that the gaps at the joints are almost untouchable...so where could there be a hidden path?

"Hey, can your black windbreaker glow in the dark? In such a dark environment, I can only see a head with long white hair floating in the air. It's really scary qwq!"

Gin was thinking... and couldn't think any further!

The veins on his forehead jumped a few times and he stood up with a sullen face. Just as he was about to turn around and say something, he saw a hanging shadow suddenly appear in his field of vision.

He subconsciously held his beloved rifle, the Breta, at his waist with one hand. The next second, he saw the hanging object clearly - it was a green watermelon vine.

"Oh, I've read this story." Asahi Yuqiu reacted before Gin. He jumped up a few steps and said, "That's what the story of Rapunzel says! This is the magical long hair of the Watermelon Princess. Anyway, if we climb up, we can find the princess and the evil witch."

Gin: “.”

He let it go in one ear and out the other, automatically filtering out the content that could be extracted - there is always a way to go after tasting the watermelon vine.

Considering all the surreal images above, this is most likely a hint.

Gin looked up at the place where the watermelon vine was hanging. In the dim light, he could only vaguely see a blurry shadow.

It doesn't look like there is a road on it, but if there is no road, the position of the top of the watermelon vine is very strange.

Gin looked at it intently, and turned the Blata in his left hand. After a brief thought, he put his index finger on the trigger and fired three shots upwards!

"Bang, bang, bang" three gunshots rang out suddenly, and Asahi Xiqiu was caught off guard and startled. He opened his eyes wide, but his brain naturally analyzed something else through the returned gunshots in this brief pause.

“…It’s empty?”

The sound of a gunshot hitting a solid object is different from the sound of a gunshot hitting a hollow object. An experienced person can tell the difference by just using their ears. Asahi Yuaki looked up at the top.

Gin also took back his gun and said, "There is a way."

I didn't expect that this was a process of going down to the bottom along a sloping spiral staircase and then going up from the other side. The interior of the Huanghun Villa is indeed a different world, winding and twisting.

Gin put away his gun and rolled up his left sleeve to reveal an instantly retractable metal hook - he was naturally equipped with all these commonly used auxiliary tools.

He looked up, still unable to see clearly in the dark. But Gin, based on the feedback from the gunshot, aimed the hook at the upper corner and fired!

There was a short "whoosh" sound, and the top of the hook seemed to have scratched something, but it failed to hook firmly and soon fell to the ground.

Gin himself did not expect to succeed at once. He paid attention to the sound and the dynamic traces of the hook, calmly calculating the general picture above, and constantly adjusting the angle and force of the hook.

After trying more than a dozen times, he finally determined the structure above and sent the hook to a position that was large enough to hook onto.

There was a "ding-dong" sound, and the hook seemed to hit something, but because of a slight deviation in the angle, it did not hook to the critical position and slipped down - at the critical moment, there was a sudden pull from above, and then the hook was firmly fixed there.

The moment the hook was secured, Gin felt not surprise but alertness!

Someone clearly moved the hook... Who was on top?!

"Hey." A familiar child's voice came from afar, "Are you hooked?"

Gin paused, and looking intently, he vaguely caught a glimpse of the blurry outline of a child in the darkness above.

Gin:?

Gin: "Asahi Yuqiu?"

How did this guy get up there?

Although he didn't ask that question, Chao Ri Xi Qiu seemed to be able to guess his thoughts and explained first: "I climbed up along the watermelon vine, the one I mentioned."

"…When did you go up there?"

"While you were adjusting the hook? Actually, I had come up a long time ago." Chaori Xiqiu tilted his head, "But seeing that you were hooking it so seriously, I didn't bother you."

Gin: “.”

After half a second, Chao Ri Xi Qiu blinked and asked, "Uh, why don't you climb up along the vine? It's very sturdy and safe, and it's certified by the industry."

Gin glanced at the beautiful green watermelon vine beside him, then looked at the hook that was just hooked on a protrusion above. For a moment, he couldn't tell which one was safer and which one was more dangerous.

After a brief moment, he finally chose to trust technology and his own arm strength, using the telescopic instant hook in his hand to climb up the side of the wall.

The hook on the top was not strong enough, and he almost fell off at the last moment. Fortunately, a watermelon vine that grew out of nowhere gave Gin a chance to hold on, and he successfully climbed up safely at the last moment.

Gin stepped onto the platform and loosened his grip on the vine. A few tender green leaves swirled down, looking very fresh.

Gin: “…”

Now, Gin no longer wants to explain everything from a scientific perspective. I'm tired, so whatever.

Anyway, what looks like a watermelon in front of you is probably not a real watermelon. In short, just treat it as a helper.

The platform above was still dark without any lights. The two looked up, but what they could see clearly was limited.

There was no extra decoration here. Or rather, since they first cracked the mechanism, the decoration around them had been gradually reduced.

It's like a fruit core, gradually peeling off everything on the outside to reveal the simplest and most core part inside.

The sounds of fighting and gunfire between different forces in the dusk annex had faded away, and they had already arrived deep in an unknown annex.

Looking far away, there seemed to be a faint light coming from the distance, like a halo in the deep sea.

Gin put away the telescopic hook, pulled out his gun again and held it. He stared at the direction of the glimmer, his lips pursed into a sharp line.

Asahi Yuaki also took out the gun that Gin threw to him from his waist pocket. He straightened his expression and seemed to be on the same channel as Gin.

After passing through many overlapping levels, the last level should be in the distance.

Gin walked forward step by step with silent and steady steps. As the distance between them kept shrinking, he could gradually see the source of the faint light.

At the end of the corridor is a seemingly ordinary room.

A faint blue light shone through the gap in the door.

Gin stopped in front of the door. He stood quietly outside the room, listening to what was happening inside.

“——”

There was no sound of conversation inside, only the steady, silent hum of machinery.

Gin's eyes fell on the door.

This is a metal door without a door handle. It looks very heavy and it is absolutely impossible to break it open with violence using a human body alone.

Gin had micro explosives in his pocket, but he wasn't sure if he could blow open the door.

There is no safe shelter nearby, and there is no guarantee that the upper and lower load-bearing structures are sufficient. It is not safe for them to detonate the bomb - they are likely to be affected by the aftermath, and this place is likely to collapse.

The scientific thinking that came out of his rational thinking at the first moment finally came to a brief halt. Gin paused for a moment, and then his gaze lightly fell on Asahi Yuaki.

Chao Ri Xi Qiu only felt a chill rising, and when he turned his head, he found a pair of dark green wolf eyes staring at him.

Asahi Yuki: "...What's wrong, Boss?"

Gin said expressionlessly: "Put down the melon and open the door."
