Chapter 165 What do they want to do?
There were two other human teammates who found that the current situation did not seem to be life-threatening to them, but something seemed to have happened to the captain of their temporary team.
The two did not dare to move their positions rashly, but just asked the current captain in a low voice through the communication device installed in the helmet: "Captain, were you attacked just now?"
Lin Jing first shook his head slowly, then replied: "I was too reckless just now... It's okay now."
Now, the scene in the cave has been transmitted through the cameras they carry with them, and things that can be seen obviously have also been leaked out.
However, only Lin Jing, who was in the cave, knew what the demons could sense. He then shared his findings: "In my opinion, these stone statues are all transformed from demons and spirits. The remaining power on them has been affected by such power even if you have been prepared... You'd better not touch them rashly."
Lin Jing heard his two human teammates and immediately understood and received responses.
The voice of the personnel in the temporary command center was also heard in the headset: "We have now understood the situation. We will send a special department to deal with the aftermath."
After receiving this reply, Lin Jing carefully avoided the stone statues of various shapes and walked towards the center of the platform.
Because he felt the human presence there.
Sure enough, he saw there several humans of different ages lying on the ground, surrounded by a pale golden barrier that appeared in an instant.
On that transparent barrier that looked like a ray of light and shadow, there were runes that looked like ancient seal characters floating gently on it.
And as if sensing the approach of Lin Jing, this inhuman being, the gently floating ancient text suddenly stopped, and a burst of light suddenly burst out from the light golden barrier.
Even though Lin Jing was prepared and withdrew his steps in time and chose to retreat without hesitation, he was still shocked by the sudden burst of light, which made his internal organs tremble.
Lin Jing immediately closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing. He covered his chest with one hand and used his sword with the other hand to steady his body, so as not to fall headfirst to the ground in embarrassment.
This sudden change also scared the two team members who followed their team leader to perform official duties.
But they still did not act rashly. One of them immediately reported what had just happened to the command center, while the other avoided the stone statues of various shapes and came to Lin Jing's side.
He asked with some concern: "Captain, what happened just now? Are you still able to move normally now?"
Lin Jing just waved his hand to calm down his teammates and those who were shouting while he was giving orders.
After the breath in his chest was completely stabilized, he exhaled and said, "...I'm fine. The power released by the formation just now was only for defense."
It was just because of his low ability that even though he was well prepared, he was almost injured by the defensive force.
The light emitted by the light golden barrier with ancient characters just now was only intended to drive away those who approached rashly.
Lin Jing was shocked by the magic circle and felt that he had a say after experiencing it firsthand.
And the shock just now seemed to have caused some impact on the light golden barrier and the people surrounded by it.
One of them looked very young, wearing a pair of large metal-rimmed glasses, a light grey hooded sweatshirt, a pair of loose sweatpants, and the most ordinary sneakers.
He is dressed like a young man who has not yet fully entered society. He has a bookish air, fair and tender skin, and looks like one who has not suffered much.
But the young man now looked extremely disheveled with tattered clothes.
Then the young man burst into tears, and with tears streaming down his face, he fell directly on the barrier that had been emitting a faint golden light since it was triggered.
The light emitted from the barrier illuminated a corner of the dark cave, and three figures that appeared in the cave at some point could be seen clearly.
Especially looking at the two figures who were dressed like soldiers.
The young man with glasses was stunned for a moment, then revealed an expression as if he was looking at a savior, and shouted excitedly: "...Great! We are finally saved!"
After seeing this, one of the team members immediately reported to their superiors who were communicating with them: "We found a surviving trapped person here."
The other person immediately asked in a clear division of labor: "How did you get into this cave?"
The young man with glasses barely stopped crying after hearing this. He wiped the tears that had already dripped onto his glasses and said with a sob, "I don't know, I don't know… I was captured here by those monsters. I don't know what happened. I also ah ah ah——"
But his words suddenly stopped here, and the young man with glasses suddenly let out a very painful wail.
Along with the wailing, the young man began to turn into stone from his feet. In just a moment, the petrified part had spread to his waist.
The young man immediately showed an extremely terrified expression and shouted loudly: "I'm telling the truth, I'm telling the truth! I don't want to turn into stone! I don't want to die!"
It seems that this prayer for life has some effect, and the spread of petrification has slowed down a lot.
The young man also noticed this change, and immediately poured out everything he knew, like pouring beans.
According to this young man, he is a student majoring in water conservancy at a certain university. He was looking for an internship and on his way to get an internship certificate, he accidentally boarded a pirate ship and arrived here.
He didn't know what the monsters they wanted to capture him were going to do. They just threatened to kill him if he didn't obey. In order to survive, he naturally chose to obey their orders without hesitation.
The order that threatened his life was to find the weak points in all the water conservancy facilities in the city and mark where the damage started.
Among those water conservancy facilities, most are drainage systems and land reservoirs that extend beyond the city's level.
Of course, when saying these words, the young man wearing glasses repeatedly assured: "I am just a college student who has not even joined the work! You should also know the water content of college students nowadays. I don't even understand the knowledge in the books. How can I have such ability to help those monsters destroy the reservoir dam, right?"
The young man became more and more excited as he spoke, and began to accuse the people who had collapsed beside him: "This person is the blasting worker they captured from the mining area, and there is also this person! It was this person who tricked me here in the first place!"
The young man finally argued quietly: "Actually... I did do some good things."
When he saw these three people looking at him together, especially the one who was dressed like an ancient knight, staring at him with those extremely sharp and murderous eyes.
"I really did a good thing... Those monsters said they wanted to use human blood to draw something. They originally wanted to capture people and kill them and bleed them." The young man shrank a little, but continued, "But I told them that if they did this and many people went missing, it would definitely attract the attention of the police, so they didn't do it... I don't know who came up with the idea, but they seemed to have gone to the pharmaceutical factory and the blood station and stole a lot of blood."
The three people present, as well as everyone else who saw the young man's confession through video equipment, did not pay too much attention to his defense.
Because these words of his are just his one-sided statement, and their authenticity remains to be verified.
At least we have to wait until those who are in a coma and are trapped in the pale golden barrier like this young man.
After everyone woke up and was questioned in isolation, their confessions were verified and the lies were eliminated to get to know the truth of the matter.
Now, whether it is Lin Jing who is a demon, or the two human team members in this cave, and all the personnel in the command center.
There is only one thing that concerns me most now.
That is, what exactly do those evil demons want to do?
