Durin's Diary

Chapter 772 The Whole Territory
Location: Entrance to the underground river.

Location: Northern Colorado neighborhood
Environmental scan results: high concentrations of virus residues and unknown biological material residues.

Daju and Shi Jiang projected their data in front of Du Lin. The remnants of unknown biological materials made Du Lin a little confused.

What does it mean to have unknown biological material residues?

Du Lin asked.

There are traces of slime in the water, similar to those left by slugs, which cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Eleven's answer made Du Lin frown.

Forget it, it's normal to have some strange things in this kind of underground river.

Thinking of this, Du Lin did not take it seriously, but activated the retrospection technique.

Rebuilding the timeline.

Daju started assisting the scan while speaking.

The image is being reconstructed. There is flickering and dense noise. Unfortunately, you are now in undead state, so I cannot project the image onto your retina.

But it’s no problem. In Du Lin’s opinion, this area has completely turned into a virtual picture composed of stars.

Here, the cold cracks in the rocks, the oozing dark green fluorescent moss, the water droplets dripping from the tips of the inverted stalactites, and even the moment when the hollow echoes in the silence are all in a dot matrix state.

Dulin began to retreat, and finally saw a figure at around 4:11 in the morning six days ago. Then Dulin jumped for half an hour and saw a carriage.

So Du Lin controlled the screen to reverse for several minutes.

This time, he and Wellington saw two dwarves wrapped in thick dark cloaks dragging a metal barrel on the back of the carriage.

Du Lin snapped his fingers, and the picture changed from a dot painting to a colorful scene. There was a faded fish on the barrel, and a strange indigo liquid seeped out from the edge of the lid.

I bet these two dwarves are definitely not the evil god's lackeys. They are probably the unlucky guys hired to transport this thing.

There were two tall humans under the car. "Damn, why is the lid cracked? I wonder if the owner won't pay because of this?" the human on the left muttered as he held up the jar. "Sledgehammer, Gold Ingot, what the hell did you two do to me?"

"There's road construction going on in the north of the city. Damn, our carriage almost got stuck in a pit." The dwarf opposite him cursed, while another dwarf beside him asked, "Where's our boss?"

"He's still in the small building."

"He's out, the hooded man."

The foursome quickly stood up. As the hooded figure approached, the elderly human in the lead, hunched over with a smile on his face, said, "Sir, I'm so sorry. You see, our car almost flipped on the way here. That damn Chengbei Avenue was under construction, and we accidentally damaged your hood."

"It's okay." The hooded man looked at the dent on the lid. "I use this thing to clean the bugs in the underground river. Here's your money. I can give you an extra 30%, but you have to open the lid and throw it into the underground river. Let me warn you, this thing smells terrible. You'd better open the lid at the mouth of the underground river, otherwise you can't blame me if you damage your eyes."

Hearing that there would be more rewards, the humans and dwarves smiled happily. Together they carried the large metal barrel to the entrance of the underground river, and the two humans jumped into the river - the water in this area was only knee-deep for humans and was very safe.

But just as the young man opened the lid, a huge mollusk emerged from the cave entrance and dragged both humans into the river. The old man grabbed the handle on the edge of the lid in vain, and was eventually dragged in with the lid.

The two dwarves were so frightened that they lost their grip on the bucket, letting it fall into the river. Before they could react, two daggers were stabbed in their backs.

The hooded man walked over and kicked the two paralyzed dwarves into the entrance to the dark river.

Perfect, it really makes the best use of everything and even saves money in the end.

Wellington was moved. Dulin put away the video crystal and watched the hooded man walk into a nearby building. Then he took Wellington to the door.

"Lord Durin, no one lives here." The church member who was watching on the side came over.

Have you checked?

Du Lin asked.

"I've checked twice and confirmed there's a basement, but there's nothing large there, just a table and a workbench. It's fine if you want to go in." The middle-aged deacon said this and looked at Du Lin: "Sir, would you like to go in and take a look?"

Take a look.

Du Lin said as he stepped aside, allowing the middle-aged church member to take out the key and open the locked door.

From the outside, this two-story building looked unremarkable, but as the church members pushed the door open and entered, when he lit the candles by the door, what Du Lin saw as he entered was a gorgeously decorated living room.

Thick curtains separated the inside and outside. The carved handrails leading to the second floor were full of fine craftsmanship. It had been unoccupied for a few days and was already a little dusty.

There is a large oil painting hanging on the wall, depicting the leisurely life of the nobles in the past.

There are no more than three paintings by Noel handed down to the world. It is a great honor to see the fourth one here.

Wellington sighed.

Du Lin walked to an ancient zither with relief carvings all over the body. Du Lin opened the lid and played a few notes at random, and he knew that this was definitely a good zither.

The sofa is made of high-quality earth dragon leather with a soft luster.

Above it, the magic candles on a golden chandelier had automatically lit up. This was a real luxury.

The church member came to the bottom of the stairs and opened the secret door: "Lord Durin, please come this way."

Du Lin followed the member into the basement. It was very different from the basement. There was only a work table with a set of alchemical instruments on it. Next to the table was a cabinet with many drawers. It was certain that this cabinet contained a lot of materials.

There were blankets and cushions on the bed next to it.

There is a problem with the stove on the wall.

Eleven and Wellington discovered the problem at the same time.

Du Lin walked over and knocked on the wall with his hand.

"There's something wrong with the wall!" This time, the church member immediately noticed the problem.

Du Lin reached out and pulled him aside. The next second, he kicked the wall to pieces and kicked the hooded man behind the wall to the wall of the dark room.

Wellington used a human immobilization spell to freeze the hooded man.

Du Lin walked over and pulled off the hood, revealing a withered face with a tattooed emblem on its forehead.

Du Lin didn’t know him, let alone him, even a native like Eleven didn’t know him.

So he pointed to the emblem.

Does anyone of you know what this thing represents?
