Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 171 Don’t Tell Yin Xiao

Miao Gensheng took off the coat draped over his shoulders and went into the water again.

Before he could dive, he saw Feng Xiuhu's head emerging from the sea.

Miao Gensheng swam over quickly: "Squad leader!"

While Feng Xiuhu was ventilating the leather bag, he handed the thick hemp rope to Miao Gensheng: "I leave it to you, go quickly."

Miao Gensheng knew that Feng Xiuhu must have succeeded, so he took the rope and dived into the water.

He returned to the waterway to check and found that there was a big hole in the iron fence. The broken part of the railing was rusted extremely thoroughly. When he squeezed it lightly with his hand, pieces of rust fell down.

Miao Gensheng was surprised, but had no time to care about anything else. He used the leather bag to breathe, crawled into the hole and swam deep into the waterway.

The space inside the waterway is very large, and its overall length is the width of the Broken Wave Bridge. Miao Gensheng was worried that the gate above his head would suddenly fall, so he swam very fast. It didn't take too long for him to reach the iron fence on the other side.

Unlike the iron fence on the bottom city side, there is a fence door on this side that can be opened and closed.

The main purpose of its existence is to facilitate the Maritime Affairs Department to clean the inside of the waterway.

There is a lock on the door and a key is required to open it.

Miao Gensheng tried pushing it, but the fence gate didn't move at all.

He tied the hemp rope to the railing as instructed, tied a knot, took a breath again, and swam back.

When Miao Gensheng resurfaced, he found that Feng Xiuhu had already come ashore.

Miao Gensheng tied the airbag in his hand to one end of the rope, and then quickly swam to the shore.

When Miao Gensheng came ashore, Feng Xiuhu handed him his coat.

Miao Gensheng explained the situation under the waterway in detail. Feng Xiuhu nodded and explained it to them.

"You should leave now. Go to sleep and go home. Don't tell anyone about what happened tonight. Just pretend it never happened."

He spoke seriously, and Miao Gensheng and Hua Manfu quickly nodded in agreement.

Sanmazi subconsciously looked behind him.

"what happened?"

Feng Xiuhu asked.

San Mazi clicked his tongue and said, "When I came out of the house just now, I found that Xiaobianzi was not there. He must have gone out to catch mice again."

"If she sees us here, the child is ignorant and tells others about it, which will ruin the class monitor's plan."

Feng Xiuhu complained, "Why does Little Pigtail always go out to catch mice at night? Don't you feed her enough?"

San Mazi gave a helpless smile. "I've tried to persuade her a long time ago, but she wouldn't listen. And I don't know what's offended her lately, but she hasn't been very nice to me. I think she feels like she should contribute to the family, so she's so active. But there are so many people catching mice during the day, and she can't compete with the adults, so she has to go out in the dark every night."

Feng Xiuhu waved her hand: "Then go find her quickly and ask her clearly. If she sees anything, be sure to tell her not to tell anyone."

The three of them dispersed, leaving only Feng Xiuhu on the mudflat.

After resting for a while, Feng Xiuhu felt that his strength had almost recovered, so he went into the water again.

After several attempts, Feng Xiuhu's eyes had adapted to the darkness and he could roughly see the outlines.

So even though there was no owl man leading the way this time, Feng Xiuhu was able to find the right route quickly with the help of the rope.

In order to avoid any accidents, he held the rope and moved forward carefully. Although his speed was not fast, he finally arrived at the iron fence of the port area.

Thinking about Miao Gensheng's description, Feng Xiuhu fumbled on the iron bars for a long time and finally found the door lock.

What happens next is much simpler.

As the lock core rusted and broke, Feng Xiuhu pushed the fence door and slipped out.

wow-

The sound of rippling water appeared, and Feng Xiuhu saw the light of day again.

The foggy moon hung in the sky, casting its insignificant light sparingly.

He treaded on the water and looked back. Behind him was the majestic Broken Wave Bridge, to his right was the boundless sea, and to his left, not far away, was the shadowy outline of the harbor area. Feng Xiuhu paddled in the water, swimming swiftly towards the shore.

On the west coast of the port area is the fishermen's ferry and Fish Market Street that Feng Xiuhu is familiar with - the place where the Fish Market Gang was wiped out.

Sitting on the ferry, Feng Xiuhu, who was soaked all over, poured out the water from his shoes and sleeves.

"Are you going to go openly like this?"

Eclipse, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"if not?"

Feng Xiuhu asked back.

Didn't he know that doing so was risky? If Feng Xiuhu hadn't been completely helpless, he wouldn't have resorted to such a foolish trick.

But Feng Xiuhu couldn't wait.

He couldn't wait for the temple to attack again and then gamble whether the temple would use the Yu Lin Bell.

Shunzi suggested stealing. Tarenzhu thought the idea was extremely stupid, but Feng Xiuhu thought that a stupid method might not be a bad one.

Although it is plain and simple, it is also the most straightforward crystallization of the wisdom of the people of Dicheng.

Eclipse said, "The high priest used the Yulin Bell in front of you today, so he must have been prepared to be recognized by you. The temple should have been prepared by now."

Feng Xiuhu followed up, "It's precisely because they know we've recognized Yu Linling that they're more likely to just reveal their trump card next time—since everyone knows it, there's no need to act."

"So this matter cannot be delayed and must be resolved tonight."

Eclipse asked him, "How do you solve this?"

"The enemy is outnumbered. If you want to fight them, you'll have to borrow authority and use more powerful spells. But with your current meager mana, this style of attack can only last a few minutes at most. You'll sacrifice yourself and become a hostage in the hands of the temple."

Feng Xiuhu touched his nose and said, "Hostage? You're overthinking it. The monks in the temple will chop me into pieces."

Eclipse chuckled jokingly, "I forgot how much they hate you."

Feng Xiuhu took off his clothes and wrung out the water. "Don't keep me in suspense. If you have a solution, tell me."

Eclipse was silent for a moment: "How do you know I have a way?"

Feng Xiuhu took off his pants again and twisted them: "Don't I know you? If you weren't trying to show off, you wouldn't make a sound for no reason."

Eclipse snorted, "I just can't bear to see you die—let me make it clear first, you can't tell Yin Xiao about this."

Feng Xiuhu was stunned, a question mark popped up on his forehead: "What does this have to do with her?"

In his mind, Eclipse let out a low laugh.

"I forgot to tell you that I also stole something from the God of Night."

When he blinked his left eye, the vertical pupil appeared.

The thick and heavy night changed instantly before Feng Xiuhu's eyes.

The night was still the same night, as if nothing had changed, but everything was clearly visible in Feng Xiuhu's eyes.

Runes emerged and shadows shifted, as if the entire city was celebrating his arrival—no, not the city.

It is the shadow of the city.

"This is……"

Feng Xiuhu was stunned and couldn't help muttering to himself.

Eclipse lowered his voice, like a thief afraid of being discovered: "The authority of 'Shadow'... the rules that the God of Night snatched away from Yin Owl. Yin Owl doesn't know that I also have a copy."

Well, no wonder he is always polite to Yin Xiao, it turns out he is feeling guilty.

Feng Xiuhu grinned. "Big Beast, tell me the truth. How much authority does that godhead in your hand carry?"
