Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 245 The Hunchbacked Old Man ([-]) One More

The darkroom was too big, and the opening Wu Chen tore was not too small, but it was already dusk outside at this time, which made the darkroom only have faint light except around the 'skylight', and the four corners were still very dark. The sight was blocked by boxes falling together in the middle.

Fortunately, the outlines of the four monsters were very clear. Wu Chen stood on the box and soon found that the four guys were standing at the four corners facing inwards, facing the wall.

Wu Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he found the four of them, and then asked loudly, "You all have torches, and the group of people just now also had torches, why didn't you light them?"

I don't know who shouted: "You must wait for the order to light the torch."

Wu Chen scratched his head and said:
"Let's light all the torches now, don't worry about transporting the box, and find a way to fix the torches on the four walls." Wu Chen suddenly raised his voice:

"The things standing on the four corners are quite scary, but as long as there is light, they are like stones, motionless, so don't be afraid, just ignore them, I have fought them several times, as long as If I am here, you will be fine. There is still sunlight coming in. It will be difficult to deal with it when the sun goes down. Now you all think of a way to install torches on the surrounding walls. The more the better! I will go to the secret passage first to find Way out, come back soon."

As soon as Wu Chen finished speaking, Xing Yun poked his head above it, and then flew down, bringing down a few puddles of mud.

"Go, follow me to explore the way."

After finishing speaking, Wu Chen took the torch from a soldier and walked towards the secret door that had been opened.

Xing Yun glanced around and quickly chased after him.

"Why didn't you tie up those four monsters first?" Xing Yun asked.

"Pay attention to your feet. The water is flowing out, but it doesn't seem to flow out all the way. Either there is a tightly closed door in front, or there is an uphill in front... You said light, tied? Do you know how big the four of them are? strength?"

"Older than you? Can you walk slower?"

"I'm just a younger brother in front of them, and I can only be beaten! Hurry up and maybe save the soldiers who went to explore the way."

Xing Yun stopped talking.

Wu Chen explained again: "Don't talk about tying them with rope, even using beef tendon is useless! Not only are they extremely powerful, but they are also invulnerable, but they are afraid of water and light..."

"Afraid of water?"

"When they encounter some deep water, they become waste. That's why I didn't say a word to remind them before. I thought they would be honest after the river flooded back. I didn't expect the people who went down to open the secret door so quickly to drain the water. You Look, the water is seeping down, and it looks like it's going uphill ahead." Wu Chen held up the torch and poked forward, but his feet didn't stop.

"I don't understand, are they afraid that the water will still come out of the water?"

"It's my choice of words. It shouldn't be said that they are afraid of water. It should be said that water can limit their strength..." Wu Chen stood still, looked forward, and sighed.

Xing Yun also saw it: "It's a corpse!" After finishing speaking, Xing Yun quickly stepped forward and knelt down to look at the two corpses, followed by Wu Chen.

After checking the body, the two continued to move forward.

"Be careful, you don't need to follow, don't worry about it at this time..."

"The official is not worried, but worried that you have not fully recovered from exhaustion just now."

Wu Chen didn't speak, because he had vaguely seen a door ahead, and there seemed to be a person or a ghost squatting in front of the door.

Wu Chen wasn't sure, he stopped again, and before he could ask, Xing Yun said, "This man is very skilled, don't underestimate the enemy."

"Can you see it?" Wu Chen felt relieved, the wine jug in his arms was already empty, and he hadn't had time to prepare it yet. If he encountered a ghost at this time, he could only cut his fingers in front of Xing Yun. This was not what Wu Chen wanted to do.

"Why can't you see it? Didn't you see that the bodies of the guards were all killed with one blow? They are all top-notch masters, not much different from your elder brother and second brother."

Wu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, it's easy to handle as a human being.

"Two dolls, go back, you can't get out here." An old voice came from the darkness, echoing in the dark passage.

Wu Chen smiled and said, "Based on your words, I really can't send you away with a slap."

"The doll is getting bigger."

As soon as the old man's voice fell, Xing Yun had a fireball in his hand at some point. The moment he threw it out, it turned into a fireball with a bang, illuminating the road ahead very brightly, and Wu Chen could see clearly the road ahead. The person in front of the door was not squatting, but a hunchbacked white-haired old man.

"It's almost a full stop, why don't you retire?"

Wu Chen made a joke, but Xing Yun flew up, but the fireball was dimmed, and his eyes fell into darkness again.

Master tricks don't need light.

But what did Wu Chen want to see?
Wu Chen leaned forward and sent the torch forward, a strong wind came, and the torch was about to go out. Wu Chen didn't dare to let it go out, so he quickly turned around to protect the torch. He turned around too hard, The torch was completely extinguished, Wu Chen blew anxiously on his back, and the torch was lit again, Wu Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

But the two people who were fighting couldn't help being surprised.

The hunchbacked old man was surprised that when he slapped Wu Chen with his palm, the strength bounced back and Wu Chen was unscathed.

What surprised Xing Yun was that he had a hard time dealing with the old man, and he gave the old man a chance to slap Wu Chen, but Wu Chen saved the day by turning around.

Holding the torch, Wu Chen turned around again, and could hear that Xing Yun's breath was a bit disturbed. Wu Chen hurried over to check the material of the secret door, and shouted, "Come back, I'll go over."

Xing Yun was very obedient, he waved his palm and returned to Wu Chen. Wu Chen handed the torch to Xing Yun and said, "Don't let it go out." Then he rushed to the secret door.

Wu Chen really ran for the secret door. He arrived before he had enough strength, and the old man's white eyebrows flew up. He squeezed his hands together and muttered to himself, and suddenly a bullet flashed out of the secret door. The tiger's head opened its bloody mouth to swallow Wu Chen's strength.

Who is Wu Chen?That is someone who has seen the world!
The old man was secretly surprised at Wu Chen's lack of fear.

Wu Chen just let out a 'ah', and the tiger disappeared in an instant, and the old man was shocked again.

Wu Chen couldn't make a blow, so he changed his hand and tried again. When Wu Chen punched with his left hand, he was already in front of the old man. His right hand was not idle, and he said, "Help you!" Straighten your back!" The uppercut of his right hand swung at the old man.

For Wu Chen, it was the first time for his left and right hands to attack with different shapes at the same time, and it was unavoidably uncoordinated, so that after the left hand hit the secret door, the uppercut of the right hand unconsciously led the old man to the direction of the secret door.

The old man slammed heavily on the secret door and fell to the ground.

Wu Chen thought that the old man would not be able to bear the punch, but he heard that his breath seemed to be gone. Wu Chen walked quickly to the secret door and was about to reach out to touch the material of the secret door when the old man suddenly jumped up and hit Wu Chen with his palm. Chen Xinwo, Wu Chen's whole body also flew backwards with the strength.
