Chapter 203 The Two People Trapped in the Maze

At night, Xiyuanji Akino, who had already tried to explore other areas, but found nothing, returned to the original place.

Feeling the weakness in his thigh and the worsening wound, he sighed softly.

The hollow hole above can go straight to the top, so there will be moonlight shining in, so they won't be blinded.

But there is nothing here but moonlight and air.

The sound of external excavation can be heard occasionally, but judging from this progress, within two or three days, it seems that there is no way to rescue successfully.

and……

Xiyuanji Akino looked at the entire internal structure and frowned slightly.

If the other party digs and rescues, they may have to analyze the situation of the entire mountain. The location of the cave is relatively sensitive. If they dig randomly, the people inside them may be directly killed by more falling rocks.

You have to analyze the path, discuss where to dig, how to dig, etc... This will take longer.

Xiyuanji Akino rubbed his stomach, he was a little hungry.

Let alone a pack of compressed biscuits on him, as a three-day ration, it is barely enough.

But that's for one person.

Turning her head to look at Nagi Fujiwara who was sitting not far away, her white dress had become tattered, and she tore off a large piece to make it easier to move.

The crystal sandals have long been taken off, and now they are walking barefoot, so it is inevitable that the soles of the feet will be worn due to stepping on the gravel, and there are some blood stains on the bottom.

However, compared to Xiyuanji Akino's state, she is much better.

Nagi Fujiwara noticed the sight of Akino Saigenji, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but soon she saw Akino Saigenji sitting down slowly, closing her eyes to refresh herself, and stopped talking desire.

Silent all night.

When she woke up, Nagi Fujiwara felt very thirsty and her whole body was sore. It was a terrible experience to sleep here. Although she was physically punished when she was a child, it was during the school period, and she could sleep normally during the rest of the rest time. , eat normally.

But now, tired and sleepy, hungry and thirsty... It's only half a day, and she can't take it anymore.

Nagi Fujiwara stood up. Just as she was going to see where Akino of Saiyuanji was, she realized that he had long since disappeared. Just when she was a little anxious, she suddenly noticed half a portion of compressed biscuits placed on another stone.

The wrapping paper is still very conspicuous, and the light is not bad now, so you can see it right away.

Nagi Fujiwara was stunned, she stepped forward to pick up the half biscuit, and smelled the smell on it...

Smell of blood.

It's obviously smelly, but she can't hate the smell at this time, even...

His vision blurred all of a sudden, and tears rolled down his cheeks.

Crying is the most irrational behavior when there is severe water shortage and life is at stake, but Nagi Fujiwara couldn't control herself at all. She hugged the half of the compressed biscuit, lowered her voice desperately, squatted on the spot and cried stand up.

This crying made her brain clear up a lot, at least, some things that she had thought about because of her paranoia and jealousy before were slowly sorted out.

For example, Xiyuanji Akino chose to accept becoming the heir that day.

Did he really agree to Yoshiaki Fujiwara because of hypocrisy and because he wanted to gain power?
Just think about what Fujiwara Yoshiaki said to him.

Threatening him with the safety of the people around him, persecuting him, telling him that if he has no power, he will be slaughtered by others.

In that case, if he can still say no, does it mean that he doesn't take the people around him seriously at all?

Are his principles more important than those around him?
Therefore, whatever he said was wrong, no matter what he chose was wrong.

Choosing the position of heir is because of his hypocrisy, and if he still refuses Fujiwara Yoshiaki, when Fujiwara Yoshiaki really binds all the people around him, he will be resented by those around him again.

After all, those people had nothing to do with his affairs, they were implicated by him.

No wonder it's hard to be a good person.

When they see others fulfilling their kindness, but the object of the kindness is not themselves, the bystanders will think that this person is really stupid, really hypocritical, is just a show, or makes some other sarcastic remarks.

If you are too holy, you will implicate yourself, these things are meaningless, the world is indifferent, and these things you do are very naive...

However, once these sarcastic and cynical people are helped by this kindness in a real crisis, they will start to feel grateful again, and feel that it is great to have good people in this world...

Who is the real hypocrite, and who is the double standard?

Nagi Fujiwara held the compressed biscuit tightly. At this moment, she began to understand how ugly her true face was, and how disgusting she was before. For her own selfish desires, she did so many unreasonable harms to others, and imposed malicious speculations. things to others.

Fujiwara Nagi always felt that such introspection was meaningless, but... at this moment, she had to feel moved and ashamed for the half compressed biscuit.

It turns out that there are such pure and good people in this world, but I have never seen or understood it, so I arbitrarily denied the possibility of the existence of that type of person, and then used my own knowledge and opinions to arbitrarily dissect them.

Incorrect……

It's actually me...

but……

Nagi Fujiwara put away the compressed biscuits, she didn't intend to eat, but started to walk forward, looking for the trace of Akino Saiyuanji.

There are several long and narrow tunnels in the underground mansion. She walked through several of them yesterday, but found that they were all dead ends, and there was no new discovery at all.

Walk over one by one, and look for them one by one.

In the end, Nagi Fujiwara found the figure of Akino Saigenji in the most spacious tunnel. When she found Akino Saigenji, she saw him leaning against the stone wall with his eyes closed.

Nagi Fujiwara was startled, she thought it was Akino Saigenji who had fainted due to excessive blood loss, so she hurried forward to help him up.

But the moment Nagi Fujiwara approached, Akino Saizonji opened his eyes.

His indifferent gaze fell on the girl, and Xiyuanji Akino said in a very flat tone: "I found a new passage, you have to go down with me."

"Okay, okay." Nagi Fujiwara nodded obediently. She obviously didn't expect Akino Xiyuanji to take the initiative to talk to her, and she was a little happy in her heart.

But this is actually the most indifferent expression of Xiyuanji Akino.

This is the lesson I learned from Kawano Xialiang last time. If you deliberately show your malice, not only can you not persuade the other party, but it will also affect your mood all the time.

Therefore, Xiyuanji Akino will not refuse to communicate with Nagi Fujiwara normally.

He got up slowly, and at the same time noticed the compressed biscuit tightly clenched in Nagi Fujiwara's hand. After finding that she hadn't eaten any, he said, "If you don't want to eat it, you can throw it away, but I suggest you eat some to replenish your energy." , in order to survive.”

"No, no, it's not that I don't want to eat!" Nagi Fujiwara explained in a panic, she looked at Akino's pale face and his dry lips.

"You, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, don't give it to me..."

"I still have a lot of pieces."

"...Then, then I'll eat it, I'll eat it now." Nagi Fujiwara opened the wrapping paper, lowered his head, and began to bite the compressed biscuits.

It's just that compressed biscuits are not mixed with water, so they are very difficult to swallow. For a person like Nagi Fujiwara, not only can't swallow them, but they may have to spit them all out.

Xiyuanji Akino sighed and reminded: "Eat slowly."

"...Okay, okay." Nagi Fujiwara was reminded by such a sentence, made her want to cry even more, lowered her head even more, and swallowed the compressed biscuits mixed with tears.

But she still felt very satisfied.

After waiting for 10 minutes, after Nagi Fujiwara ate cleanly, Akino Saigenji twisted a movable brick, and with the loud noise of rolling stones, a hidden door leading to the underground passage slowly opened.

Last night, Xiyuanji Akino went to the dreamland to learn about the history of Japan in the past, and where the general design agency of this kind of underground mansion would be located.

I searched for it according to what several teachers said, and soon let him find it.

And the said Fujiwara Nagi is useful, that is to let her walk ahead to explore the way.

But after all, Xiyuanji Akino would definitely not let her go to die, so when she was walking in front, he was also doing his best to observe the surrounding movements to confirm whether there was any danger.

Nagi Fujiwara was stupefied, she never thought that Akino of Saiyuanji would be so powerful and able to discover hidden mechanisms...

Then when she was walking all the way down, she didn't feel anything, she just listened to Xiyuanji Akino's instructions, if he told her to stop, she would stop, if he told her to go, then go.

It was as if he had completely lost his brain and handed over the dominance to him.

Looking at the internal environment, Xiyuanji Akino couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Sure enough, it is not as exquisite and luxurious as in the TV series. This is a pure passage, and there is an open space below, except for the coffin.

It can be seen that the ancients of the Fujiwara family had great ambitions, but limited by imagination and technology, they could not build a powerful underground mansion at all. Now there is only a general framework.

Those so-called organs, there is a high probability that there is no...

As soon as Xienji Akino thought this way, he noticed the spikes on a small step of the stairs in front of him. Although Nagi Fujiwara was barefoot, he would definitely be infected with a lot of germs if he stepped on it. Tetanus infection is fatal.

So he grabbed Nagi Fujiwara.

And Nagi Fujiwara didn't pay much attention, and bumped into Akino's arms directly. Just when she was a little confused, she heard Akino's words.

"Look ahead of you."

Only now did she discover those spikes, and she was immediately frightened.

Xiyuanji Akino also felt that this was really insidious enough. When you relaxed your vigilance and confirmed that there was no design, it suddenly came to you.

Many people will be recruited at the end.

"thanks……"

Nagi Fujiwara turned her head to the side, looked at Akino Saienji, and said softly.

Xiyuanji Akino did not respond, but motioned her to move on.

When he came to the flat ground, Xiyuanji Akino looked around and found that there were three entrances in total. He frowned slightly, thinking that there were several entrances above, but they were all dead ends.

So what kind of design is this, and what are the intentional channels for?
Without time to delve into these, Xiyuanji Akino pointed to one of them and said, "I'll go that one, you go to the other one, see if there is an exit, pay attention to the sound, and let me know if there is an accident."

"... Qiu... Akino-kun, is it okay for me to go with you? I'll still scout the way for you just like before."

Xiyuanji Akino glanced at her indifferently, and left without saying a word.

But Nagi Fujiwara refused to leave him no matter what, so Akino Xiyuanji could only acquiesce in her behavior.

Nagi Fujiwara was really scared, and she also began to understand why Akino Saiyuanji said she was useful.

Although Xiyuanji Akino thinks she is useful, probably because she thinks that she can save time for exploration and improve efficiency, but the "useful" she thinks means that two people stay together, and their mentality will be more stable. Staying in this kind of place, it is difficult for her to have the courage and patience to find life.

She's really just a coward.

After walking with Nagi Fujiwara for more than ten minutes, they were clearly following the road, but inexplicably returned to the origin.

And the first time, Xiyuanji Akino immediately realized the intention of such a design.

This may not be a cemetery, nor a mansion, but a simple maze. The coffins just now may not be coffins, but something else.

This mountain, hidden under this cave, should be a former strategic location?

Considering that during the Warring States Period in Japan, hundreds of thousands of people fought back and forth, it is not surprising that they would choose to use the mountain as a strategic location.

So how to solve the maze, and how to take the next road?
Xiyuanji Akino stopped Nagi Fujiwara, and stood there lost in thought.

-

While Akino of Saiyuanji and Nagi Fujiwara were trying to find a way out, Yoshiaki Fujiwara returned to the Fujiwara family, and he began to meet the elders of other branch families, as well as the young and middle-aged who are currently in power.

Standing in front of the crowd, he asked in a deep voice, "You guys really want to tear your face apart with me, right?"

"Yixian, this statement is wrong. We didn't intend to disobey you, but you are indeed too absurd this time. In order to follow the lineage, you specially found a wild species from outside to be the heir. The person who separated us, Not a human anymore?" An old man with the same gray hair and a kind face said sharp words with a smile.

"I don't understand either. If you say that Fujiwara Nagi directly inherits the Fujiwara Zaibatsu, I can accept it a little bit. After all, she is a direct descendant and is also the blood of our Fujiwara family. But this is Xiyuan Temple. With all due respect, he really He is not suitable to be a person in power at all." Another old man also said. (Fujiwara Nagi is an adopted daughter, only Fujiwara Yoshiaki and Kyoko know, as mentioned earlier)
"An overly positive image is suitable for joining the political arena, but that little boy seems to have a really kind heart. Such a person is destined not to be able to get out. Yixian, your judgment is really very problematic this time."

"..." Fujiwara Yoshiaki nodded slowly as he heard objecting voices one after another.

The anger in his heart has reached its peak, but he won't show it anymore.

The reason why Nagi Fujiwara was not directly made the head of the family is because of the fact that Nagi Fujiwara is a daughter. As long as Nagi Fujiwara is in power and has not developed the corresponding ability and character, it may not be long. They will be bombarded with all kinds of sugar-coated shells by these people who are separated.

At that time, send a few super handsome people with very good personalities to have a relationship with Nagi Fujiwara or something, and then get married and have children. It is estimated that within ten years, Nagi Fujiwara's position as the head of the family will exist in name only.

Opposites attract, this is a natural law, and it cannot be controlled by Yoshiaki Fujiwara, so this is the fundamental reason why he has been worried about letting Nagi Fujiwara take over, and let her disguise herself as a man for the competition.

As a daughter, she is still too weak in this big family.

Moreover, Nagi Fujiwara's heart is flawed, so there are even more things to consider.

However, it is no longer important to say these things.

If both Akino Xiyuanji and Nagi Fujiwara are dead, then his followers don't need to worry about anything.

It's not that he wants to avenge these two young people, but Fujiwara Yoshiaki absolutely doesn't trust the inferiority of these family members. They don't have an overall concept at all, and once they are taken over by one of them.

Then the Fujiwara family will be finished.

Well, since it will be destroyed sooner or later, it is better to let him eradicate those moths first...to save the last dignity of the Fujiwara family.
