Chapter 723 Genetic Testing
Furong Qinghe.
Kashiwagi found it a bit strange.
Riddhe got the remains of Yong He from the cursed doll...
When did the entrance to the spiritual world appear? Riddhe is just an ordinary person. If he wants to see the cursed doll, he has to enter the gap between reality and the spiritual world, right?
He couldn't help but look at Fleur beside him.
"Look at what I'm doing, haven't you ever entered room 1608 alone?" Fleur said with an expression that said you were weird.
Kashiwagi tried to argue: "I did that through ancient texts——"
Fleur raised her index finger and shook it, "Whether it's ancient writing or anything else, the principle is the same. There are two prerequisites for entering the spiritual world - a medium and a special environment. Anyone who achieves these two points can enter."
You are a professional, you are right.
He decisively accepted this statement and turned to consider the next question - can the remains obtained by Liddy really be confirmed to be that of Long He?
Is it possible that the cursed doll deceived Liddy?
Either.
Was it the cursed doll that deceived him and Fleur? But this kind of deception is meaningless, unless it confirms that they will not be able to come back after they go out, or they will definitely not find Long He.
Shanmin also considered this matter, took out his mobile phone and was about to make another call. After thinking about it carefully, he simply said to Kashiwagi: "Let's go directly to Teacher Liddy!"
Instead of communicating over the phone, it’s better to ask questions in person!
"Then I'll call Hupa first."
Kashiwagi didn't say much. He took out his mobile phone and called Balza to ask him to call Hupa to come and help.
I have to give a thumbs up to the electronic information project rebuilt in Huangtie Town. There is a signal even so deep underground, so there is no need to climb out.
During the waiting period.
Shanmin briefly described the specific content of the conversation with Mr. Riddy.
The incident started when Kashiwagi woke up from his dream, when Riddhe and others used the accumulated gunpowder and explosives to develop a bomb and blew up the mine and the bottom arena.
——
The sky collapsed and the earth cracked, the caves and mountains shook.
"Curse Doll!"
Liddy, who was blown away by the impact, stood up and quickly rushed towards the location of the cursed doll. Unexpectedly, there was only gravel composed of large and small falling rocks, and the cursed doll had long since disappeared.
There was chaos all around, and no one expected that the explosion would be so powerful.
Some people were hit with bloody heads by falling rocks, and two unlucky Pokémon were directly pinned down by big rocks. Fortunately, they had good defense capabilities, and they could only escape after other Pokémon helped or moved or broke the big rocks. come out.
Everyone's attention quickly turned to Liddy, who was digging the dirt desperately, and they quickly came up to help.
"Curse doll! Answer me quickly!"
Liddy anxiously pulled at the stone, not even caring that his fingers were bleeding.
The Cursed Doll is the Pokémon that his elder brother entrusted to him to take care of, and he is also their partner. How will he explain to his elder brother if something unexpected happens? How do I explain it to everyone who has agreed to go out together?
With the concerted efforts of everyone and Pokémon, the pile of rocks was quickly moved away, but the cursed doll was still missing.
It's like disappearing into thin air.
same moment.
Others discovered that in addition to the cursed doll, there were two other people and some Pokémon who had disappeared due to the shock of the explosion. They didn't know where they were buried, or they had gotten into a blocked mine tunnel in a hurry.
Liddy's hands were trembling and he was breathing heavily, surrounded by eyes waiting for him to make a decision.
Someone suggested quietly: "Let's go look for it separately?"
However.
The proposal was quickly rebutted.
"But brother said that leaving the mine during the chaos is our only chance. Once those guys come to their senses, we will never be able to get out again..."
"That's right..."
Several mutterings were heard, and several Pokémon were worried.
The person who made the suggestion immediately became angry, pointed at their noses and shouted: "What are you talking about! Do you mean to leave the separated companions here!?"
There were obviously more people and Pokémon who were unwilling to give up their companions, and they glared at those who spoke.
Those people retorted in panic.
"I didn't mean it, so don't talk nonsense..."
"But……"
"That's enough!" Liddy shouted, scanning everyone through the dark cave, "We have become a rope and worked together to get where we are today. If anyone betrays us, the only thing left for us is death!
"The lost people and Pokémon must be found! Those are our companions! If we give up on them today, we can give up on any of you tomorrow. Is this what everyone wants to see? Remember what brother said, we These weaklings can only survive if they stick together!"
After the backbone spoke, the remaining people suddenly had no extra thoughts.
Even those who just thought they should run away immediately.
but.
Liddy also knew that the opportunity was too late and would never come again. He divided the team looking for the lost people into three groups, and set up another group of old, weak, sick and children to retreat first.
The three groups searching for the explosives in the backup plan were used as reminders, and if they were not found, they would withdraw some of them and so on.
It seems that Liddy's innate organizational skills are one of the reasons why he is so convincing. Even without systematic study, he still arranges people very well.
Give an order.
The miners, who had planned to retreat as a whole, began to search for the lost people who did not know where they were going.
A group led by Riddy ran towards the arena. He highly doubted that the Cursed Doll would look for his big brother in a panic. It didn't matter if he didn't find him. He could leave it to the big brother with great powers.
He firmly believes that this person pointed out the way for his future and taught him that many people can do anything.
On the way to search.
Liddy found that many mine tunnels had completely collapsed. He led people to turn around for a long time before they found a path that was barely walkable. During this period, he also found many unlucky people trapped underneath by rocks.
Liddy recognized them—the overseers who used to yell at everyone and beat and scold them frequently. A large part of the reason why everyone was so miserable was related to this group of people.
To die so easily...
The devastation of the explosion was more terrible than imagined.
An inexplicable emotion arose in his heart, which seemed to be pity and sadness.
What a good death!
When Liddy heard someone muttering like this, the remaining emotions in his heart dissipated.
Yes, die well.
These guys have never treated them kindly, why should I pity them? There are many people who really deserve pity.
Going in circles all the way to the arena.
I thought I could get in, but I never thought that all four passages connecting the arena had collapsed.
"What should I do now?"
Everyone looked at the troubled Liddy.
The collapse of the passage means that the cursed doll most likely did not run in this direction, or that it slipped through a certain hole due to its small size and softness.
Liddy had the idea of luck and searched everywhere again.
After confirming that they really couldn't get in, they stopped again.
"Go back... go back, take a detour to the meeting place, maybe you can meet him."
Liddy gritted his teeth and made a difficult decision.
He knows very well that opportunities like today may never come again in the future. Everyone has endured until now and still can't get out. It's almost impossible to have the ability to act now.
Liddy must be responsible for everyone who trusts him.
And it’s not that they didn’t look for it. Finding it and not looking for it are two different things.
Just as everyone was about to return, there was a sudden violent vibration in the passage. Riddhe knew that someone was digging with Pokémon, so he immediately told everyone to retreat quickly.
But when the pile of stones blocking the road was shattered, a familiar figure appeared in front of them.
"Ahem, Liddy? Why are you here? Didn't you agree to go out and meet up?"
The eldest brother looked at Liddy seriously. Next to him was a desert dragonfly that was breathing heavily and with multiple scars on its body. Both of them had blood stains on their bodies and looked very tired.
Liddy stepped forward in a panic and asked someone to help bandage it, and then plucked up the courage to tell him about the missing cursed doll.
The eldest brother fell silent.
After a while.
He said to Liddy and others: "Leave the cursed doll to me. I can probably guess where it went. You hurry up and get out. I am not the only one who survives in the arena. They will definitely know you when they see you." Realize something.”
"Brother..."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, don't betray everyone's trust in you!"
The eldest brother patted Liddy hard on the shoulder and suddenly told him something. For example, he left something at a suburban station in the east. If you have a chance, you can pick it up.
It will be helpful for them to leave Oure or find a way to survive in Oure.
Liddy felt a little bad when he heard what he said, but the elder brother didn't say anything more and urged Liddy and others to leave, leading Desert Dragonfly to the same road they came from without hesitation.
Liddy looked at his back and shouted: "We are waiting for you outside! You must come back! Brother!"
The eldest brother didn't respond, just waved to him in the dark until he couldn't see him.
Who would have thought.
This is the last side.
——
"Teacher Liddy and the others were almost blocked many times after that. It took a lot of effort to escape Huangtie Town through the secret tunnel they had dug in advance. However, they waited for two full days and failed to wait for Kashiwagi's grandfather. come out."
Shanmin shook his head and sighed, and continued: "They left Huangtie Town in order to survive, and it took them a long, long time to gain a foothold. After that, they kept sending people back to Huangtie Town to inquire about information, but they only got the mines on the ground floor of the arena. The conclusion that no one escapes.”
Both cypress and hibiscus are silent.
The predecessors struggled to survive for a glimmer of hope in the future, but the entanglement and hesitation in their hearts could not be explained in just a few words.
Facing lost companions, choosing to abandon them or find them is enough to make an immature team almost fall apart.
In an environment like theirs, they are only one step away from freedom but they can still endure it and look for the lost ones.
It's not easy.
"Later, Teacher Liddy still refused to give up and went underground in Huangtie Town several times to look for them. In the end, he only found the cursed doll..."
Before he finished speaking, Hupa emerged from the nimbus with sleepy eyes.
"Xiaobai... Hupa is sleepy to death..."
"I'm sorry, Hupa, but we really need you." Kashiwagi stretched out his hand to comfort Hupa, and Furong also said some words of comfort.
Hupa rubbed his eyes and said loudly: "Okay then! For the sake of everyone needing Hupa so much!"
Shanmin said: "Now that Hupa is here, let Mr. Liddy answer some of the remaining matters. It is inevitable that details will be missed in the retelling."
He shows Hoopa a picture of Liddy.
The nimbus opens.
Several people filed in.
Brito and the other workers were stunned, not knowing whether to follow or not. With this hesitation, the light wheel quickly closed.
"Then there's nothing we can do. Let's continue to rest."
He beckoned the workers to continue sitting down.
And in the darkness where they couldn't see, a pair of sapphire-like eyes were shining. The owner of the eyes looked sideways at the position of the arena, thinking that the cursed doll had better not make small moves.
It would also be nice to have an explanation with Furong.
Silica City.
There is light in the sky now, and it is estimated that the sun will rise in about ten minutes.
And in a brightly lit house.
Riddhe, whose hair has turned gray and has age spots on his cheeks, is slightly stooped and smiling as he entertains the uninvited Kashiwagi and others.
"Sit down, everyone, sit down, let's talk slowly if we have anything to say."
He invited several people to sit down and brought snacks and tea.
Kashiwagi and Shanmin didn't want to taste it, but Furong and Hupa enjoyed it very happily, and didn't forget to share it with Gengar and Night Demon in the shadow.
Doronbaruto was greedy after seeing it, so he touched a piece secretly. He breathed a sigh of relief when no one noticed, and ate it.
Liddy sat across from several people, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand and said slowly:
"Shanmin has already told me everything. I didn't expect the cursed doll to come out yet... Alas, it's hard to look back on the past, and I have too many regrets to make up for..."
There was silence for a while.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you. We want to know how you came to see the cursed doll again." Kashiwagi asked straight to the point.
Liddy chuckled and said warmly: "Well, to be honest, I think it's very strange. At first, I just wanted to sneak into the mine to find traces of my brother, but I didn't expect that the mine collapsed and I was almost buried. At the critical moment, the cursed doll saved me. , it brought me to what was once the ground floor of the arena.”
gap!
Kashiwagi and Shanmin looked at each other, both understanding.
I see.
The collapse of the mine resulted in the unfortunate death of someone. The special magnetic field brought about by the death and the fact that it should have been relatively close to the old arena site on the bottom floor at the time allowed the cursed doll to pull Liddy into the gap and survive.
"I asked it about big brother and what happened after we left that day. It didn't answer me. It just handed me a broken body wearing big brother's clothes, and then kicked me out. I knew it couldn't accept big brother. After passing away, I didn’t expect that after so many years, it would still be..."
Liddy shook his head and sighed.
For this old man who is probably older than Genji, the death of important people has probably been forgotten in the past few decades, leaving only a faint regret.
Maybe you have imagined the original scene in your dream and regretted making a certain decision, but in the end you still have to accept the reality.
"You are very similar to my eldest brother, in appearance and temperament. I had almost forgotten what eldest brother looked like. The moment I saw you, I remembered a lot at once, and the memory became clear."
Riddhe looked at Kashiwagi, completely confirming the latter's identity as a dragon and descendant.
Although the ceremony of recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan in Meteor has been confirmed.
He said: "Brother's body has been placed in the east of the city. If you want to confirm, go ahead. Some answers must be important to you and the cursed doll."
"good."
Several people looked at each other and nodded.
There is no doubt that Mr. Liddy saw their plan and gave his support——
Open coffin and autopsy.
Although this is a slight offense to the predecessors, an accurate answer is very necessary.
Again.
Kashiwagi plans to take the confirmed dragon and its remains back to Meteor Village, where the dragon tamer of Meteor should rest.
