When Xu Jianguo used his all-seeing eyes to look deeper into the hole under the crystal.
With just one glance, he discovered the person trapped in the underground space.
The reason why Xu Jianguo smiled was because the first person he saw was a soldier in military uniform, and the second person he saw was the old Taoist priest Xuanjue who was sitting cross-legged in the corner and whom he had not seen for a long time.
What puzzled Xu Jianguo was that there were only six people in the underground space at that time, including the old Taoist priest, and no other people were found.
But after thinking about it, Xu Jianguo understood that this space covered with crystals was huge, with a length and width of more than 500 meters. There must not be only this one space.
The others must be trapped somewhere else.
In addition, Xu Jianguo thought of the other huge stone gate he saw two or three hundred meters to the left when he was standing in front of the second stone gate. He couldn't help but admire the person who built this space.
This person made full use of psychology. No one would have thought that the third stone gate was hidden hundreds of meters away at the same level as the second stone gate.
When a normal person enters a pitch-black environment, due to the influence of the lighting environment, most of the factors available for judgment can only rely on what they can see with their own eyes.
After walking out of the second stone door, under the limited light of the flashlight, the first thing that catches your eye is the strange space covered with crystals, and the second is the stone path hidden among the crystals.
Therefore, people at this time are often guided by the inertia of thinking and involuntarily walk towards the path, thinking that the end of the road is where they want to go.
As the saying goes, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. At this time, as long as someone walks onto the path, they will keep walking on it. By the time they find themselves lost in the crystal cluster, it is already too late.
When Xu Jianguo was browsing forums in his previous life, he often saw some great figures interpreting the various mechanisms and traps in tomb-raiding novels.
Path layouts like this one, where you go back and get lost, mostly make use of the angle of the stone pavement under your feet and the visual error, which is the knowledge of geometry.
For example, when a straight line gradually bends with a very small curvature, people walking on it cannot notice it.
If explained scientifically, this situation can be called the "Penrose Stairs." Interested friends can check it out. Penrose Stairs And all those black-robed men hiding in the crystal bushes had to do was watch as those who broke in disappeared before their eyes one by one.
And when appropriate, destroy the devices they use to locate themselves and prevent them from getting lost.
As for those who didn't fall into the trap, what would the black-robed man do to them? You can guess what happened to the two space servants that Fu Bo left at the well.
Thinking of this, Xu Jianguo stood up and sent a message to Fu Bo and the others, asking them to quickly deal with those men in black robes, leaving as many of them alive as possible, and killing those who could not be left alive.
After receiving the order, Fu Bo and his companions quickly dispersed, holding their silenced pistols and using their night vision abilities to move behind the men in black.
Although these black-robed men had used some unknown method to acquire the ability to see at night, they were still no match for the space servants.
In less than ten minutes, the dozen or so black-robed men hiding in the crystal cluster were all eliminated by Fu Bo and his men.
Xu Jianguo asked, and when he heard Fu Bo say that no one was left alive, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Afterwards, Xu Jianguo asked Fu Bo and the others to take the black-robed men who had been eliminated back to the space.
After everyone returned to the space, Xu Jianguo summoned them out again and told everyone about what happened in the underground space.
If he wanted to rescue all the people in Bureau 749 and send them back to Lange Village, he would have to use his own space.
In order to ensure that his space was not exposed, Xu Jianguo decided to use a tranquilizer gun to knock down the trapped people first.
So a moment later, when Fu Bo and his men each had a tranquilizer gun, the rescue operation officially began.
Xu Jianguo used his all-seeing eyes to lead his servants to wander around in the crystal cluster. After finding a space, he let a servant slide down through the hole, and then used a tranquilizer gun to knock all the people inside to the ground.
Due to the long period of lack of water and hunger, even the soldiers with extremely high combat skills among the trapped people were helpless when they saw the man in black holding the tranquilizer gun. They could only fall into a deep sleep after feeling a needle-like pain.
It took about forty minutes for Xu Jianguo and his servants to collect most of the trapped people into the space, leaving only the space where the old Taoist priest was first discovered. He decided to go there in person to give the old man a surprise.
Just as Xu Jianguo was leading the space servants to rescue the trapped people, the two people who had been captured by the space servants in Lange Village before also told the truth under the guidance of "Wenrou".
Both of them were villagers of Langge Village. Just as Xu Jianguo had guessed before, everyone in their village was indeed the descendant of the tomb keepers, and what they were guarding was the tomb of a general of the ancient Dian Kingdom who had made great military achievements.
The ancestors of the villagers in Lange Village were all stewards and servants in the general's mansion. As the saying goes, a slave takes his master's surname, so the entire village took the general's surname, Bai.
According to the two captured people, they attacked the people from Bureau 749 who came to investigate because they were instructed by the village chief Bai Aman, who was also the leader of the tomb keepers of this generation in Lange Village.
As for why the villagers disappeared collectively, it was all because of a custom of "worshiping ghosts" that had been passed down from generation to generation in the village.
According to legend, nine years after General Bai died in battle, a man who claimed to be General Bai's friend came to visit him.
When he learned that General Bai had passed away, the man did not show any sadness. Instead, he kept repeating that fate cannot be defied.
Later, before leaving, the man found the leader of the tomb guards at that time and asked him to take him into the general's tomb and stay there for nine days.
By the time the man left, his originally black hair had turned silver, and he looked at least several decades older.
Before leaving, the man found the leader of the tomb keepers and handed him a black token, asking him to lead the tomb keepers into the third stone gate underground to perform a sacrificial ceremony every nineteen years on the anniversary of the general's death.
It is said that one soul nourishes another soul, and one day, the general's soul will return and the dead will be resurrected.
