Chapter 12: The Edge of Doom (120)

When he came, Mo Chen secretly talked to Zheng Yi about the decoration in the laboratory. Zheng Yi said that he was not very clear about the layout of the room, but he always felt that it looked familiar, but he couldn't remember what the layout was for.

Later, when Xu Bin and others appeared, Zheng Yimeng thought that the whole room seemed to be arranged into a huge magic circle.

And those rune patterns painted on the wall and on the ground should belong to the spells held by a mysterious nation.

The big box, which looked like a coffin, was a bit left-leaning in terms of the layout of the room, which made Zheng Yi not think of the magic circle at the beginning.

Thinking about it now, I seem to have heard a fellow Taoist mention it. This is a magic circle used by a vicious nation in ancient times. They are different from any later nation and do not take the center as the source of the magic circle.

Specifically, it seems that they never think that sentient beings are equal. Every life is arranged to come to this world. From birth, their destiny is set. Therefore, when they are born, they are forced to form a distinction between noble and lowly.

Therefore, even their magic array and array source should be more left, the left represents the upper class, and the right represents the lower class life for them.

The four major directions of the room, east, west, south, north, and the deviant directions between each two positive directions, such as the southeast corner and northwest corner, are all drawn with strange symbols.

Zheng Yi told Mo Chen that those directions actually correspond to the eight words Qian, Zhen, Kan and other words in the Eight Trigrams.

Mo Chen was very surprised at this. Since these runes belong to a mysterious nation that is unknown, how could their talismans, mantras, characters, and paintings be arranged according to the Eight Trigrams? The answer given by Zheng Yi is that although there are different ways, all people, things, and things in this world follow the same rules of survival.

In other words, this nation does not arrange magic circles according to the Bagua, but its various principles can also be explained by the Bagua.

Now that everyone who is forcibly locked up in this magic circle, the number of people, including Mo Chen is exactly eight.

Mo Chen and Zheng Yi thought of something tacitly. Mo Chen said to Xiaona's husband, "I'm sorry, I think you were deceived by them."

Xiaona's husband snorted coldly without caring about it, and Mo Chen leaned over and asked him, "Did you arrange the magic circles below?"

"How?" Xiaona's husband asked back but did not answer. Zheng Yi said, "There are runes in every natural direction, which should be some spells. If I guess correctly, we are sacrifices used to contribute to a certain evil god." After a pause, Zheng Yi continued, "There are eight of those strange talismans, and only six of us, even if we are Li Chao, are there any direct relationship between you and your wife and the sacrifice?"

A trace of fear flashed through Xiaona's husband's eyes, and Zheng Yi's words touched his heart, because he had originally retained a trace of distrust of Xu Bin and his group.

It was only a moment, and soon Xiaona's husband's face changed back to his original indifferentness, but Mo Chen still captured his uneasiness in his terror at that moment. Xiaona's husband struggled hard twice and returned to quiet. Mo Chen tried his best to make his tone more sincere. He said to Xiaona's husband, "I'll loosen your ties, but please don't think about being enemies with us anymore. If you have this time, you should check first. Is the escape door you prepared for yourself in advance safe?

By the way, the temperature here is getting higher and higher."

Xiaona's husband stubbornly did not answer, but his eyes flashed unconsciously. Mo Chen said, "If you don't answer, I'll call you acquiesce."

As Mo Chen finished speaking, the black silk wrapped around Xiao Na's husband seemed to hear an order, quickly and orderly retreated from him, quietly returned to Mo Chen's body, and disappeared.

Xiaona's husband, who had regained his freedom, jumped up from the ground with a carp. He hurriedly ran to the door where Xu Bin and others left, and tinkered under the door for a long time. With a click, he opened a hidden secret wall close to the ground beside the door.

Xiaona's husband hurriedly entered the secret space, but soon, he fell to the ground as if his soul was taking time out of his body.

Mo Chen and Zheng Yi walked forward and looked at the secret grid. Judging from the broken cylindrical button, the ambush mechanism here has been destroyed.

It seems that things are just as Mo Chen and the other two guesses. Xiaona's husband is just a chess piece used by Xu Bin. Xu Bin's purpose is to use them to capture Li Chao. As for what kind of promises he made at that time, it is naturally a lie to deceive them into cooperating properly.

Xu Bin's evil smile appeared in Mo Chen's mind again. He suddenly understood why he repeatedly asked to speak closer to Xu Bin at that time, but Xu Bin didn't care at all.

Xu Bin naturally didn't care what Mo Chen was going to say, because that didn't matter at all. He had thought about what Mo Chen and the others had thought of.

They all returned here from the future time. Judging from the future ending, it really seems that everything started because of Li Chao. If anyone else was, they would subconsciously start from Li Chao when they returned here.

But just like Zheng Yi said it, whether it was their previous plot in the future or returning to the past and present, the common point at the two points in time is that Xiao Na was "rejuvenated".

Moreover, Xiaona's husband also involved in the rejuvenation of her face at two points in time.

Therefore, instead of trying hard to find out who was the one who really caused the incident among Xiaona and his wife and Li Chao, for Xu Bin, it would be better to save time and kill Li Chao and his other two.

Mo Chen spoke quietly, but he did not ridicule Xiaona's husband, "Do you believe me now?"

Xiaona's husband turned his back to Mo Chen and the others. He shrugged his shoulders and his head hung deeply.

Zheng Yi looked at Mo Chen, pointed his finger at Xiaona's husband, and asked Mo Chen how to deal with him now.

Mo Chen's eyes signaled Zheng Yi to deal with it, and then Zheng Yi made a ok gesture.

Mo Chen stepped forward and patted Xiaona's husband on the shoulder. His posture and tone were like a brother next door, just chatting with Xiaona's husband.

Mo Chen asked softly, "There must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain, and you don't have to worry about being cheated. Besides, our brothers are very different from Scars. I promise you that all of us will never hurt you and your wife."

When a person's heart is most vulnerable, he is often most likely to be contributed by a little warmth from outsiders, no matter whether he is a so-called good person or a bad person.

Mo Chen deliberately promised Xiao Na's husband that there was indeed suspicion of making trouble while he was uneasy. But it was also Mo Chen's true position. As long as Xiao Na and his wife do not take the initiative to attack and hurt any of them, Mo Chen and others will naturally be fully prepared.
