Conan’s World Stand-in - v2 Chapter 99

The haunted cave, or, according to the sign on the outside, is called “Navy Cave”. From the outside, it looks like a small, unremarkable cave, and the height is about as high as one person. It was so dark that I couldn’t see what was inside.

“This rope should be the ‘Note-Linked Rope’ and ‘Four-hand Knot’ in Neon Legends, right?”

Guan Dounan stretched out his hand and tugged at the hemp rope that was blocked outside the cave. On the rope there were pendants made of paper, made of diamond-shaped pieces of paper, and knots like tassels. This thing was in the Neon Shrine. It is often seen that it seems to be designed like this for the purpose of warding off evil spirits.

“That’s right, the ‘Note-Linked Rope’ represents the dividing line between justice and evil in the Shinto tradition, and it is also a kind of enchantment. The white ‘four-handed knot’ represents holiness and tranquility. .” Conan also touched the betting rope and said to Guan Dounan.

“However, it looks like it’s just pure hemp rope and white paper. I’m afraid it won’t work for the ‘evil’ created by the stand-in messenger.” Xiao Ai said.

“Yeah, at least from what we’ve seen so far, what malicious stand-ins do is much more ruthless than the so-called ‘evil spirits’ and ‘monsters’…” Guan Dounan also associated As far as the real “monster” Wutiangu he has encountered before, in terms of the various cases he has encountered so far, those ghosts and ghosts really didn’t do any evil.

To sum it up with a relatively vulgar line, I have seen the most despicable human beings, and I have seen noble monsters.

“go in.”

The inside of the cave is not too big, and it is not as small as some caves, but there are heaven and earth inside, and there is no twisting and winding fork in it. With the attached flashlight function, you have reached the end of the cave after walking a dozen meters.

At the end of the cave, the three of them saw something similar to a shrine. Looking at the words on the tablet, it should be dedicated to the so-called “Navy Undead”, and behind the shrine, there was a slightly smaller cave entrance.

“A hole in a hole, from the shape of the hole outside, the one named Hamada should be the substitute ability used on the inner layer, otherwise the road outside goes to a dark, hall-like environment, and he also I can’t use my abilities.” Guan Dounan thought, “It seems that the road inside is not very easy to walk, it may be a labyrinth.”

“Did you bring a ball of yarn?”

“There are no tauren inside…”

Conan suddenly said a cold joke, and Guan Dounan also took it up, only Xiao Ai rolled his eyes.

Pushing open the shrine forcefully, Guan Dounan headed to the depths of the cave. There are indeed a few forks in it, and they are even more narrow and cramped. If you cooperate with Hamada’s substitute that can create a terrifying atmosphere and add an artificial labyrinth maker, It can really make people get lost here for a long time.

However, now the people of Hamada were lying in the lighthouse and **** by them, so they couldn’t use their stand-in abilities. Guan Dounan and the other three also had a light source in their hands, and Xiao Hei’s ability was used as an aid, and they quickly constructed a small map of the cave in their minds.

“Some of the forks lead to a dead end, some are linked to each other, and there is no second exit to the outside world. However, there is an unexpected discovery…”

Guan Dounan raised the watch-shaped flashlight in his hand, letting the faint light illuminate the things in front of him—the rusted hull, the barnacle-covered bottom, and the rust-covered, but still visible hull of the ship.” “Dragon God” three words.

“This ship is actually underground? How did it get in? Was it sent in by someone’s stand-in ability?”

The location of the Dragon God is actually a large hollow that extends underground from this cave. It is dark all around, and there is no other exit. It is hard to imagine that although this ship is not a behemoth, it can at least ride on it. How the boat with dozens of people at sea got in.

Is there a stand-in messenger that can transfer other objects in space?

“No, I think this closed cave was formed later.” Conan squatted beside the puddle of water where the Dragon God was floating, and seemed to observe something from the water, “There are some seashells in it, It should come from seawater. But if this place has always been an underground closed space, then the water underneath should be seawater.”

Looking at the puddles that were dark and smelly, Conan resisted the urge to reach out and taste it. Standing up, he glanced at the surrounding cave walls with the flashlight in his hand.

“This cave wall seems to be composed of a lot of rubble. From the geographical distribution of the island ~www.mtlnovel.com~ should correspond…” Conan closed his eyes and thought carefully in his mind.

“Corresponding to a cliff on the island and the dangerous sea area below the cliff.” Xiao Ai added, “From the description of the villagers, the sea area below the cliff is full of various reefs, so their ships Never go in this direction.”

“Then, the result is probably very clear.” Conan snapped his fingers. “The hollow in this cave has just formed not long ago. Here, it was originally connected to the outside world.”

“During the storm in which the Ryujin ‘disappeared’ seven years ago, it was actually blown into this small hole by the wind and waves. Then the mountain at the top collapsed, and the falling rocks blocked the hole. , becomes a closed space.”

“And the Dragon God appeared in this seemingly impossible underground cavity. I think Hamada discovered the Dragon God by accident, but there was no way to get it away or find the one above. Gold nugget, so I had to be a tower guard on the island, watching the cave and the ships in the cave…”

“Aren’t there any gold nuggets on board?”

“If there is, Hamada must have taken those things and sold them. Seven years is enough time for him to steal the gold nuggets bit by bit, and then find an opportunity to sell them.” Conan shook his head, “So, gold The block was either in Hamada’s hands, or it was hidden somewhere where no one could find it, such as sinking directly to the bottom of the sea.”

“It depends on you.”

“Okay, it doesn’t look like there will be any more information anyway.” Guan Dounan nodded. In the absence of any clues, it was time to use his stand-in ability.

Blackie appears and then disappears. Guan Dounan blinked and looked back at where they came from.

“how can that be…”
