But that guy seemed to have been injured when he came out of your study, but my brothers and I couldn't catch him together. We are incompetent, and I asked my father to punish him. "
Duke did not show his majestic side as usual, but continued to ask:
"Didn't you go into the study and investigate carefully?"
Jacob stepped back and bowed his head:
"Because you have been strictly instructed, father, no one is allowed to enter your study room unless you request it, so we did not dare to go in to check the specific situation, but I have already upgraded the security of the entire manor, and I promise that no one will enter your study room again. Something happened."
Unexpectedly, Duke smiled in relief:
"I didn't expect to remember my strict training at this moment, yes, Jacob, I feel relieved to have you at home.
I can't blame you for what happened this time, Ji Han deliberately lured me there and then sent that little bastard Kiryu to search, it was indeed my carelessness, you continue to search for clues around, I will go in and have a look. "
Seeing this, Philip who followed seemed to want to go in and help, but he swallowed the words.
Jacob tactfully pulled Philip away, pulling him aside on the grounds that he would explain the details of the situation to him.
Seeing that no one followed, Duke pushed open the wooden door of the study.
A special smell mixed with the scent of wood pulp and books and blood wafted out. This is Duke's own modified venue [Sleeping Potion]. Any outsider who broke in unprepared would fall asleep due to inhalation of this gas.
Except for prepared players or people who understand the internal situation, it is impossible for outsiders to enter.
That guy Ji Han first lured his subordinates and several sons to Hainan, and then used false targets to lure himself to the northwest, all in order to make the manor's protection empty and send people to sneak in here.
Following the rare bloodstains on the ground, Duke came to the globe placed in the corner and turned the sphere lightly, and the bookshelf behind him slid away, revealing the entrance of a winding stone path.
But before going down, the stone steps below suddenly exploded.
Chapter 855 Deadly Ladder
The sudden explosion startled Jacob and Philip, who had not gone too far, and hurriedly led the team to the outside of the study.
"Father! Are you all right?"
There was almost no pause, and some angry responses were heard from within.
"It's okay, go out and check, don't worry about me here."
"Yes!"
The two who were bored had no choice but to take people to start the investigation of the surrounding area again.
Duke in the study, by spreading the blood on his body in time, covered the stone steps that were about to explode, and did not let the gravel inside collapse.
Otherwise, according to the power of the bomb installed below, the bookshelves above and half of the study outside will be affected.
Most importantly, in order to ensure that the bomb just now would not bury the entire tunnel, Duke had no choice but to turn his blood into a palm and hold down the stone pillar under his feet, so that the entire structure was not affected by the bomb.
After confirming that the explosion was complete, Duke slowly retracted his palm. Looking at the wound on his hand and the blood flowing out, Duke gently gritted his teeth while manipulating the blood flow to restore the wound:
"Kiryu, it's really your style. Because I was injured, I have to give the other party a hand to avenge this revenge no matter what."
The blood on the ground must have belonged to Kiryu, probably from being injured by the props he arranged below.
And when he was leaving, he knew that he would definitely enter the tunnel to check again, so he left this gift for himself under the stone platform before leaving.
I figured that in order to ensure that this place would not collapse, I would take the initiative to transfer the damage of the bomb to myself.
It's not that he was angry because he was injured, but he just felt that that guy was able to arrange such a trick on his own territory, and he didn't realize that he knew him so well before.
Duke stepped on the gravel and continued to spin downward until he came to a long corridor.
Looking at the mess, the props here have already been activated, but it seems that they should have been violently cracked by Kiryu.
Duke looked at the traces around him and recounted what happened at that time.
There are almost no skills at all. In other words, the guy must have a particularly handy prop in his hand.
At the end of the corridor is a platform of fifty or sixty square meters. On one side of the center of the platform is hung the glass painting that Kiryu had described to Ji Han, and dozens of black candles were placed in front of it.
Seeing the painting again, Duke just glanced lightly and didn't react.
The boy Tongsheng didn't know who it was, even if he described the people inside to Ji Han, Ji Han couldn't think of anything, it was nothing more than the portraits of two comrades in arms.
Thinking of this, Duke once again recalled that he and Messiah were nearly killed by Ji Han with a meteorite that day.
What I find unacceptable is that Ji Han didn't come down to make up the knife.
This may sound awkward, but Duke thinks so.
Confident looking back after being smashed with a meteorite?Thinking that the other party has no chance of surviving, and treating himself as contemptuous as those building ants who were not selected, this is the most difficult thing for Duke to accept, it is simply an insult to himself.
At this time Duke walked to the other side opposite to the glass painting. A huge airtight stone house was suspended beyond the edge of the platform, and several specially made torches were placed around the stone house.
The only thing connecting here and that stone house is a weird long stair plank road.
Duke came to the long ladder, but didn't go up, but lowered his head to check the dried blood on the ground.
Kiryu was injured here, no wonder, the most dangerous and unchallengeable thing here is the [Deadly Ladder] in front of him.
No matter anyone, as long as he walks up, his ability will activate the mechanism above, causing harm to himself, and the further he walks, the more serious the damage will be.
The amount of blood on the ground is not much. It seems that Kiryu should have been attacked here, and then gave up and continued to explore, and quickly stopped the bleeding for himself.
"Hmph, smart choice, but I kind of expect you to challenge this
It looks like a [Deadly Ladder]. "
Everything was similar to what Duke had guessed before he came back. His manor was not an ordinary place. Except for a few players who were also players, it was impossible for ordinary people to sneak in.
And it seems that Tongyu didn't ask people from the Consciousness Society to assist him in this operation, so this [Deadly Ladder] is his last stop.
The reason is also very simple, because this ladder can't even be crossed by oneself.
I don't know what Ji Han will think when Kiryu reports the situation here, prison cell?treasure house?I actually kind of hope that he will challenge the ladder in front of me.
In order to make sure that there was no problem with the contents inside, Duke turned around and waved his hand, and the flame of the black candle in front of the glass painting also floated.
As Duke's arms moved up and down slowly, many flames gradually separated from the candle, and finally under Duke's control, the flames fell neatly on the stone house at the end of the [Deadly Ladder].
The tiny fireballs hit one after another, leaving a fiery burn mark on the wall of the stone house.
Immediately after Duke muttered words, the fiery red burn mark also began to change irregularly.
"Come!"
With Duke's arm retracted, a small porcelain bottle unexpectedly drilled out from the fiery scar, and it kept flying towards Duke.
And the fiery scars on the stone house gradually faded, and finally the stone house returned to its previous darkness.
After catching the small porcelain bottle, he checked it again, and after confirming that there was nothing missing, Duke turned and walked out.
Duke didn't pay any attention to those destroyed traps, but just set up a few invisible blood lines in the corridor.
This is not to stop anyone, but to ensure that I can know that someone is sneaking in again as soon as possible.
He sent Kiryu to enter first, and after he rearranged and upgraded the protection on his side, he then rushed to take advantage of the weakened mentality of the actual second protection. Ji Han really did this kind of thing.
It doesn't matter how many times you come.
Back in the spiral passage where the stone steps had been blown to pieces, Duke opened the small porcelain bottle and scattered it on the surrounding ground at will.
I saw that the stone steps that had been broken or even ashes were recovering rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
[Inorganic Restoration Liquid] It is usually not available, and it is very expensive in the game store. Whether it is Kiryu or Ji Han, as players, no one can escape this situation.
But I can easily do it myself, whether it is changing the price of self-purchased game items or modifying the attributes of some items, these are not problems for me.
As long as there is this trump card, the advantage will always be on his side.
After closing the corridor under the bookshelf again, Duke withdrew from the study, but unexpectedly, there were already people waiting for him outside.
The Mystery of the Holy Grail
Chapter 856 A Dong's Identity
After tidying up his study, Duke went out to see Doma, Da Tai and Lilith who had first followed Ji Han and returned later.
"I'm sorry, father, we were deceived by that guy."
"It's okay, I came back in time."
Duke didn't expect the three of them to surround Ji Han with people, but he just hoped that they could put pressure on Ji Han so that he could reveal his true purpose as soon as possible.
Seeing Duke coming out of the study, Lilith, who usually doesn't have so many scruples, asked:
"Grandpa, someone has broken into your study?"
Duke has never been so strict with this little granddaughter:
"I have already checked, everything is normal, and nothing has been taken away. During this period of time, the guards have been strengthened. Not only the manor, but also the surrounding areas have to be checked for me."
"Yes!"
Compared with other people, the fact that someone broke into the manor had the greatest impact on Lilith. Since she was born, she has never heard of anyone who has the ability to sneak in, let alone the study that even the uncles are not allowed to enter.
Combined with Ji Han's affairs, it was obviously a premeditated infiltration, ordinary thieves don't have this kind of ability.
And the people who come in don't take anything, which is not normal.
Either the infiltration time was too short and they didn't find what they were looking for, or the people who came in didn't intend to take anything away at all.
Being able to make such detailed preparations, the possibility of the former is not high. In other words, the other party must have gained something.
But grandpa still kept it from everyone, which made Lilith feel that the distrust of grandpa in her heart began to grow rapidly again unintentionally.
Seeing that Lilith's eyes seemed to be distracted, Duke reminded softly:
"Lilith? Is there anything else?"
"Huh? No, Grandpa, I was just wondering who would be the one who sneaked in."
"It's the same for everyone. Next time you come in, he will definitely be dead. Alright, you have worked hard this time, go back and rest."
"Yes!"
On the other side, Ji Han and the others finally returned to the headquarters of the Alien Guard.
Fortunately, the captain and the time guardian were in charge, and Kiryu went to steal the house, otherwise, I, who had already used the Meteor Finger this time, would have been left outside.
Fortunately, Duke didn't find out the truth of the matter, otherwise, even if he knew that Kiryu had stolen the house, he would have to kill himself completely.
Ji Mo, who knew by phone that the group had returned safely, was still very worried when he saw Ji Han's weak appearance.
"Brother, why did you do this this time?"
"Ha, if you can live, you will burn incense when you come back. How dare you ask for so much."
A Dong suggested:
"Mr. Ji Han, is there anything we need to cooperate with?"
Ji Han waved his hand and said:
"Sorry, I'm afraid I have to take a good rest, the next mission to go out will have to wait for a while."
Eggplant reminded:
"Let's stay at home and rest honestly. If I were a member of the Consciousness Only Society, I would definitely take advantage of your illness and kill you."
A Dong glanced back and said:
"It's okay, we can also help with the escort."
Although there was no life-and-death duel, the captain, who had seen the strength of the Germana family, still carefully arranged for the members of the alien guard to take turns to guard the safety of the zero team building. The opponent's ability is indeed a bit unreasonable.
When the group returned to No. [-] team building, Ji Han immediately started arranging work again, although he needed to recuperate for a while.
But the key investigation work must not be ignored. Now everyone is not completely capable of comparing themselves. The more information they have in their hands, the more they will have the initiative, and even reverse the changes in the battle situation.
It was precisely because Duke didn't know that what he met before was the post-travel self that made him so afraid of him.
The key to killing Duke now is the game bug he possesses.
From Kiryu's information
To get some news: Bunker Prison, Duke and Messiah.
The difficulty of the bunker prison is too high for those present to explore. Thinking of this, Ji Han first confirmed with the time guardian, and after learning that the other party did not understand, he asked Chen Ke, eggplant, and Song Qian to search for everything related to this person.
