【The Queen and the Thief】

…………

"Looks like it's the end."

Xia Ke kept staring at the hands they held together until the knight's words brought her back to her senses.

Is it the finish line?Is it the end of life?

She raised her head and looked around. In the arc-shaped hall, lit candles circled around, illuminating every corner of the hall red, and the surrounding candlelight made her eyes feel a little uncomfortable.There's a statue in the center, the one I'm tired of seeing.

"Xiao Ke?"

Xia Ke turned her head and saw her elder sister and another purple-haired woman named Maggie coming out of another dark hole.

She noticed that her elder sister frowned slightly when her eyes caught the hand she was holding with the knight.

Only then did I remember that I had caused trouble before.It's over, my sis must have misunderstood something.

Xia Ke became nervous, and hastily pulled his hand away from the knight's hand.

Even without looking at it, I know that my current expression is very embarrassing, and it is necessary to cover up something.

"That's why I'm afraid of the dark..."

"An explanation is a cover-up." The purple-haired woman on the side interjected at the right time.

"By the way, Maggie's sixth sense is very good." The knight smiled and looked at Xia Ke.So, stop kidding yourself.

You bastard, no one thinks you're dumb if you don't speak.How should I explain to my sister now.

Xia Ke raised his elbow and slammed straight to the right.

"Ah! Pain!"

"It seems that someone has already arrived." The familiar voice came to the ears out of time.Xia Ke raised his eyes, and bumped into a pair of dark eyes.

Here comes the head spider.

The bandit leader glanced at the people present, and added calmly: "The protagonists are all here too."

"Don't worry, I talked to him before, if you are still alive after putting the opal, he will let you go as soon as this incident is over." Amanda leaned over at some point, close to Xia Ke's There was a whisper in the ear.

"Is it believable?"

"Of course, the Scary Witch never jokes."

Yeah?She and her sister don't have to die.But the premise is to do something that is easy to die.

"Thank you, Xiaoman." Xia Ke smiled slightly, "Why don't I give you a discount! All the breakfasts for the second half of the year are [-]% off, and cat food is also included, how about it? If I don't die."

"I'm afraid I don't have this chance."

"Ok?"

Before Xia Ke could figure out what Amanda meant, the bandit leader spoke.

"I have already contacted other people, and some of them have not been able to enter the ruins at all. Feitan is probably still on the way, let's start directly."

start?What to start, a sacrificial ceremony?

Do you dance, play a trick, and then some elf will come out and say, thank you for letting me out, I can grant your three wishes or something like that?

"Miss Xia, I'm sorry to trouble you." The spider leader made a gesture of invitation, intending Xia Ke and Xia Xian to go to the central statue.

Xia Ke and Xia Xian looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and approached the central statue.This posture is not inferior to going to the execution ground.

The statues are still carved in the same old way, but the left and right hands of the angel and the devil are both half-clasped, and there seems to be something missing in the center of the palm, each with a small groove.

Xia Ke took out the opal from his pocket, the light yellow luster was still pure.

At the same time, she glanced at the star of her elder sister, and she realized a problem.

"Mr. Lu Xilu, I think you should be clear about which one should be placed." Xia Ke looked at the spider head not far away from him and asked.At the same time, he glanced at Xia Ke, he was smiling and looking at her with the corners of his mouth curled up.

"I don't know." Simple and clear, the spider leader didn't know.

Does that mean that there is a 50.00% probability that if you choose the wrong one, you will die, and if you choose the right one, you may also die.It seems that only the mortality rate can still be blinded - one hundred percent.

"Then after entering the ruins, everyone will be randomly scattered around, do you know?" Xia Xian continued.

"do not know."

"I don't know this, I don't know that, so what do you know?"

Xia Ke's black line, my lord, you are too sharp.But sharpness depends on the occasion!

"I just know." The bandit leader didn't get angry, and his tone was calm, "It's you who will make the choice next."

He was right, he didn't need to know how to put the opal, and he didn't need to care about whether the opening method was right or not. All he wanted was the result, and she and her sister were the ones who chose the process.

However, it's not without hints.

The builders of the ruins never intended to die.Then there must be other hints.

"Hey, Spider Brain!" Xia Ke called the knight as if calling an acquaintance, completely ignoring the spider's head's confused gaze. "Do these two opals have names?"

Xia Ke remembered that the woman who killed herself once told her that the opal in her hand had a name, but she only remembered the vulgar name, but she forgot what it was called.

"Well, I remember that the one in Her Majesty's hand is called the 'Curse Stone', and the other one is the 'Lucky Stone'."

The name is really vulgar, and the people who built the ruins have no taste.Xia Ke belittled some unknown person(s) in his heart.

Commonly speaking, the word luck should belong to beautiful angels, while things like curses are used by demons.but……

"Xiao Ke."

"Ok?"

"Give the cursed stone to the angel, and the lucky one to the devil."

"Exactly what I want!"

The two changed positions. Xia Ke stood on the right, facing the devil's ferocious smile, and Xia Xian stood on the left, facing the angel's peaceful face.

"I'll count one, two and three together." Xia Xian held Xia Ke's hand.

"Run immediately after letting go." Xia Ke added.

"one--"

"Two, three!"

The two opals were inserted into the statue's hands at the same time, and the statue began to shake.

The two turned around and quickly ran away from the statue.When he turned back, the statue shook even more violently, and the stone fragments slipped off little by little, but the two opals were still embedded in the hands of the angel and the demon, motionless.

"Crack-cheep, creak-cheep" the low seat of the statue began to sink into the ground, and with the sound of "嗙", the statue was completely submerged, and then it seemed that some mechanism was touched, and the whole hall began to shake.

"Is it going to collapse?" Xia Ke took a small step back and said to himself.Don't tell her that she has worked so hard to come here just to be buried alive.

"Not yet." The knight stood beside her at some point and held her hand.

Did the fox not take his medicine this morning?At this time...

"Ch—————" With the sound of gears being touched, what rose up in front of him was a platform full of all kinds of treasures.Gold, emerald, coral, and even unknown secret treasures.

No one moved, no one dared to move.

About 1 minute later, the surrounding vibrations stopped, and a small white ball of light floated above the platform.

"what is this?"

"The leader's goal this time."

The ball of light became bigger and brighter, and finally spread out into a large net shining with white light. In the center of the big net, there was a luster like a spar, and the light around it was shining brightly.

How do I take this thing back? Do I need to dismantle it?Although Xia Ke is an intelligence officer, this is the first time he has seen such a thing.

The unknown gravitational force suddenly appeared, which made people hard to guard against.Everyone present was unconsciously sucked a few steps forward, and then retreated sharply.The big net turned into a ball of light turned into a huge vacuum cleaner at this moment, and the people in front were, of course, dust.

"Xiaoman! What do you want to do?" Xia Ke watched as Amanda walked forward instead of backing away.

"Go in." Amanda's footsteps did not stop, "Go back to my world."

"Ugh?"

"By the way, Xiao Ke!" Standing at the door of the vacuum cleaner, Amanda stopped, her flaming red hair shaking wildly behind her, "tell Emma for me, she should go out on her own! Don't rely on me anymore !"

The red figure turned around, jumped into the big white net, and disappeared without a trace.

"What and what..." Xia Ke's voice hadn't finished yet. The gear of the 'vacuum cleaner' seems to be increased by a gear.More powerful suction came one after another.

Xia Ke staggered and nearly fell, but the knight firmly grabbed her hand from behind and brought her back to his side.

"Why don't you stop?" Xia Ke held the knight's hand instead, she didn't want to die yet.

"According to my investigation, there is one more person to go in." The knight glanced at the captain, then turned his gaze back to Xia Ke.

Want... to go in alone?Xia Ke's mood twisted into a ball at the next moment.

====== Happy Small Theater ======

Xia Ke and Xia Xian looked at each other before going to the statue. Guess what they were communicating with?

Xia Ke: My lord, there are so few people here, why don't we work together to kill them and run away?

Xia Xian: Do you think any one here is fuel-efficient?

Xia Ke: How about that purple-haired woman?

Xia Xian: One thread can be used in seconds, and if you are lucky, you will even be given a free disembowelment.

Xia Ke: ...

Xia Xian: Where is your IWC dictionary?

Xia Ke: You can give it a try... If it's an operating system, it's useless without me.

Xia Xian: Then start with their leaders?

Xia Ke: Do you think it is realistic?

Xia Xian: Go obediently.

Xia Ke: let's go...
