Chapter 2273 2285 [Loyal Fan]
"So many roads?" The young woman was startled. "Which one did they take?"
The middle-aged man sighed, "How should I know? But among these roads, only one leads to the outside. The group of children who strayed into the cave probably don't know the structure of this cave. We still have a 4/5 chance of catching them - as long as we are not extremely unlucky, it won't be a big problem."
The young female assistant breathed a sigh of relief: "You are so smart!"
Female writer: “Oh.”
The middle-aged man cleared his throat and said, "Okay, let's get down to business first." He looked at his wife, the recently famous mystery writer, and said, "You stay here and we'll search those dead ends one by one."
The three of them quickly divided the work and began searching road by road.
At the same time, the three children and Vodka quietly moved deeper along the road they were on.
After walking a little further, the three children looked at the dead end and said in disappointment: "This is a dead end."
Vodka: “…” You deserve it, I let you run around!
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya suddenly looked at him and said hesitantly, "Uncle, did you know that this road would not work?"
"?!" Vodka's heart skipped a beat. "How could that be? I just think there's a 1/5 chance that it's easy to get lost if you run around."
Three children: "..." But you were just planning to choose a random path... Could it be that this uncle is very lucky and has a good intuition, and only believes in the path he chooses?
The group of people didn't say anything else and carefully returned to the intersection.
I quietly peeked in and saw a figure holding a gun sitting next to a stone pillar about seven or eight meters away. He was sweeping a flashlight back and forth across the cave entrance, as if he was on guard against something. The other two had disappeared.
"Humph, he didn't even take cover. If I had a gun, I could kill this guy with one shot, and then ambush and kill his two accomplices."
As Vodka had this thought, he realized with great sorrow: no, he no longer had a gun. His precious pistol was snatched away by that bastard Uzo.
"Does this guy know that I have made an outstanding contribution in opposing his possession of a gun?" Vodka muttered in his heart, "If he dares to retaliate against me today, he will dare to target Brother Gin tomorrow, and he will step on the boss the day after tomorrow! - Don't these two people have any sense of crisis at all? If they turn a blind eye to that little bitch, they will regret it sooner or later!"
Kojima Genta looked at Vodka's expression, then turned to his two friends and muttered, "This uncle really hates evil - look at the way he looks at that criminal, it's like he wants to eat him alive."
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya felt the same way: "He clearly thought we were on the wrong road, but he still chased us and tried to help us. There are not many good people who are so selfless nowadays!"
Yoshida Ayumi also nodded, but soon she remembered her current predicament and couldn't help wanting to cry again: "They will find the road we are on sooner or later. If we can't leave in time, they will definitely kill us."
When the other two kids heard this, they no longer had time to look at Vodka. Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya scratched his head: "I don't know which 'dragon-subduing road' the stone pillar is talking about. It would be great if Brother Jiang Xia was here."
Vodka: "..." What's good? Stupid kid, it's because that guy is nearby that things turned out like this!
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the three children looking at him in unison.
Although the children did not speak, Vodka seemed to see the subtitles in their hearts: As a fan of Brother Jiang Xia, it is really lame that they can't solve the puzzle.
Vodka: “…”
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya sighed, took out his notebook, and drew a simple diagram of the current area on the notebook.
"We have eliminated one wrong option. Now it's a 1-out-of-4 choice. The chance of escape has increased!" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya tried hard to interpret the clues left at the cave entrance and on the stone pillars. "They all mentioned 'Shenlong'... The English word for dragon is 'Dragon'... Huh?!"
Vodka glanced at the startled guy and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya: "D is the fourth letter of the alphabet in English. Could it be that the fourth hole from the stone pillar is the real escape route?"
Vodka: "..." Stupid, of course not, that's also a dead end! Although I can't reason, I know the answer!
He pressed his forehead with a headache, thinking about how to get to the correct passage as quickly as possible without exposing himself while the other two criminals were away.
Just then, he felt something tap his arm from behind.
Vodka, who was sitting on the ground: “?!”
There was clearly only a stone wall behind him, was it haunted? ! !
He turned his head and instinctively wanted to draw his gun, but he drew nothing. Almost at the same time, Vodka saw clearly what was hitting him from behind.
——It was a dark cloud-walking snow cat that was so black that it almost blended into the background.
The black cat looked up at him, stretched out its claws, and pushed a piece of paper into his hand. Then it scratched his body twice, and turned away in a good mood.
Vodka: "..."Isn't this the annoying cat that Uzo raised? What is it doing here?
He picked up the note in his hand suspiciously, shook it on the ground first to make sure there was no strange object inside, and then unfolded it behind the children's back.
I saw a bunch of small words written on it. The handwriting didn't look like Jiang Xia's. It was probably written by some tool guy.
Vodka: “…” You actually prepared an answer for me?
...There must be a conspiracy behind this!
His eyes became more and more suspicious, and he wanted to burn this strange little note immediately and then spread the ashes as far away as possible.
However, I thought about myself who was unarmed, and also thought about those armed criminals who were searching one by one and who knew when they would find this passage...
Vodka gritted his teeth and read the contents with frustration.
“The other actors, unaware that someone was behind the scenes, could only be guided by clever schemes and act according to Uzo’s script.”
As Vodka read on, he came to a new realization: "I thought that knowing about Uzo's existence would help me avoid this kind of thing... but I still have to follow his script!"
This new experience made him realize that his anti-Uzo plan had a big loophole.
But rather than completing it, the most urgent task is... to just be a puppet in Uzo's hands.
...This seems to be the only reliable way to survive at the moment.
…
“Ahem.”
While the three children were discussing a solution, Vodka cleared his throat and said calmly, "I understand."
After he finished speaking, he realized that he had unconsciously imitated Uzo's way of solving a case, and his eyes jumped.
However, the similarity in action and tone made the three children's eyes light up: That's right! How could Jiang Xia's fans not be good at solving puzzles?
It seems that this person is a real fan!
