People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 228 Verification of identity

"Ah... that's right! You are nothing!" Hu Bayi replied almost subconsciously.

Chen Ziyan, who was standing next to him, said that he could testify. This was completely a conditioned reflex.

"Why don't you...wait a minute!" Wang Kaixuan's reaction was not unpleasant. He immediately realized that there was something wrong with this sentence and quickly changed his words: "Bah! I'm just talking nonsense. Fatty even asked you to take care of me.

Got into a ditch."

No matter what, his fat man is nothing, he is just a human being!

Then he looked at Hu Bayi with an unkind look: "What do you mean, Lao Hu? You don't have to worry about me at all if we work together."

He didn't hesitate to take risks to inform him, and this is how he was rewarded?

"Tsk!" Chen Ziyan showed a narrow smile beside him and said nothing.

Although Wang Kaixuan's current state is a bit strange, and his words just now are also very thought-provoking, but based on his reaction that seamlessly entered the quarrel, Chen Ziyan was 80% sure that this was him.

To be honest, apart from Wang Kaixuan, Chen Ziyan has never seen another person with this ability.

These two guys know each other too well and know what they say will trigger a subconscious counterattack from the other side, and more importantly, their ability to provoke fights has become instinctive.

"Mr. Chen, do you think he has gone too far?" Although Chen Ziyan's voice was soft, it was enough to attract Wang Kaixuan's attention at such a close distance, and he quickly sought justice from him.

Chen Ziyan did not expect that the fat man would suddenly point the finger at himself. After thinking for a while, he said: "Of course I want to believe that you are the fat man, but there are too many weird things in the tomb. It would be better to verify it. This will also be beneficial to both of us.

Responsible."

Although he was already 80% sure, Chen Ziyan still wanted to be more prudent and make up for the last 20%.

Hu Bayi agreed with Chen Ziyan's words and said: "Mr. Chen is right. If you say you are fat, then provide some evidence."

Compared to Chen Ziyan's implicitness, Hu Bayi was undoubtedly more direct.

But this is reasonable. After all, he and Wang Kaixuan don't need to be polite.

It was nothing when Chen Ziyan said it, but as soon as Hu Bayi said this, Wang Kaixuan became angry: "Oh, this is the first time I heard that it is your own business to let others prove yourself, so why are you saying this?

Hu Bayi is a shoddy and counterfeit product, so why don’t you, old man, suffer the consequences to prove yourself?"

Hu Bayi gave this guy a roll of his eyes: "Don't mess with those useless things. If you can't prove yourself, we won't let you go."

Seeing that the two of them were about to start fighting again, Chen Ziyan said loudly: "Okay, please stop talking for now. You two will have plenty of time to tease me when you get back."

Then, he looked at Wang Kaixuan: "Fat man, do you think this will work? Just tell me something that only you and Lao Hu know, and that will be all right."

Hu Bayi also agreed: "This method is very good, let's do it this way."

Although Wang Kaixuan seemed to be out of tune, he knew the importance and agreed readily: "Okay, then we will do as Mr. Chen said."

Even if he didn't understand it at first, he now realizes that his sudden appearance is indeed a bit suspicious, so he doesn't resist this kind of self-evidence.

But Wang Kaixuan agreed, and he also put forward his own conditions: "But don't let me say it, let Lao Hu ask. I don't want to waste my brain cells."

"I'll come, I'll come."

Hu Bayi directly agreed to Wang Kaixuan's request, and then began to think about what he should ask.

The first thing that came to mind was the quotations that they knew by heart, and then some poems that they all liked, but then they thought about Hu Bayi and gave up on them.

These things are all popular in an era, but they are not the only ones who know that as a standard for verifying one's identity, they are somewhat not rigorous.

After thinking about it, Hu Bayi decided to use the secret code he and Wang Kaixuan often used when they met before, and said: "The king of heaven covers the tiger of the earth!"

Wang Kaixuan immediately replied: "The pagoda suppresses the river demon!"

Hu Bayi asked: "Why is your face so red?"

Wang Kaixuan raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm so anxious that I can't find a wife."

Hu Bayi asked again and again: "Then why are you white again?"

"I'm scared of marrying a tigress." Wang Kaixuan gave the answer without thinking.

Hearing him say this answer, a smile immediately appeared on Hu Bayi's face: "Fat man!"

This slogan was a joke they made when they were teenagers. The last time it appeared was when he met after returning from the army, so outsiders would never know.

So this seemingly playful slogan is the best proof of Wang Kaixuan's identity.

When Wang Kaixuan saw this, he said: "You still don't believe me, who has eaten the bear's heart and dared to pretend to be a fat man!"

"Yes, you are great." After Hu Bayi said something perfunctory, he decisively skipped the useless pleasantries and asked about the business: "What is the situation over there now? Are there any Wushuang brothers?"

He has not forgotten Wushuang Ghost.

Wang Kaixuan said: "I encountered a little problem here, but it's okay for now. Brother Wushuang is standing next to me. I said you should come over quickly. My face is going numb."

"My face is numb?" Chen Ziyan caught the key point and asked curiously.

He felt that this was probably related to the mechanism of this 'fake' wall, otherwise there would be no reason to only show one face instead of the whole person walking out.

Sure enough, I heard Wang Kaixuan say: "I don't know what's going on with this door. No light can get in. There is nothing in front of me, but I can't go in. I have to use my old nose to show this face."

Come."

After hearing that the actual situation was similar to his guess, Chen Ziyan said to the other three people: "In this case, let's go there first. We'll talk about anything later."

Now that I have verified my identity and confirmed that this is Wang Kaixuan, there is no need to stay in this inaccessible passage any longer.

No matter what the situation is on Wang Kaixuan's side, the top priority is to unite everyone so that they can concentrate on finding a way out.

After saying that, Chen Ziyan avoided the area where Wang Kaixuan was and entered the wall in front of him from the side.

Hu Bayi and three others followed him closely, and one after another walked into the strange walls.

The moment Chen Ziyan stepped into the wall, he felt as if all his senses had been lost. Fortunately, this feeling passed away in an instant, and a faint light appeared in his field of vision the next moment.

It was a half-burned candle, and it was the only source of light in the space in front of me.

Using the flashlight in his hand, Chen Ziyan quickly took in the situation here. This was a relatively spacious room. It might be a tomb or other building. The overall style was the same as the passage they were in before.

Next to the candle were several people standing, who looked like prisoners who had been taken away by the fat man.

Wushuang Ghost, who had come ahead of them, was waiting nearby, only a few steps away from where Chen Ziyan was.

After taking stock of the situation in the space, Chen Ziyan looked back and found that it was exactly as Wang Kaixuan said. There was no wall behind him at this time, and there was only an opened stone door standing there.

Hu Bayi and others who came in behind him were currently surrounding the door, studying something curiously.

Chen Ziyan saw this and asked: "Did you find anything?"

Hu Bayi shook his head: "Nothing was found. There seems to be nothing wrong with this door, but no matter can enter it, not even light."

"What about the fat man?" Chen Ziyan asked, pointing to Wang Kaixuan, who had been lying prone since they came in.

Ding Sitian said helplessly: "I don't know. I also tried it, but I couldn't put it through my face like a triumph."

Not just her, the three of them had just tried, but they all ended in failure.

"That's it." Chen Ziyan nodded thoughtfully, and then turned his attention to Wang Kaixuan: "What's going on with the fat man now?"

Based on his knowledge of the fat man, this guy should have come out the moment they came over.

And looking at the guy's body movements, it seems like... maybe he's in a state of struggle?

Shirley Yang had actually been looking at Wang Kaixuan. After hearing Chen Ziyan's question, she replied smoothly: "If I guessed correctly, he should be stuck."

"Stuck?" Hu Bayi quickly stepped forward to pull Wang Kaixuan, trying to help him break free.

Chen Ziyan also wanted to help, but before he could step forward, Wang Kaixuan had successfully escaped with the help of Hu Bayi.

"Huh..." After Wang Kaixuan got rid of the restraints, he sat directly on the ground and gasped: "It's finally out, this thing is really tight."

After seeing that he was fine, Hu Bayi next to him asked curiously: "Fat man, how did you do that to your face?"

If he could do it, it would mean it was normal. But obviously none of them could do it, which would mean Wang Kaixuan was special.

Wang Kaixuan was also unclear about the reason: "I don't know either. After I couldn't get in, I thought about whether I could get closer and take a closer look. But I didn't expect that the invisible layer was as if it was made of glue. It was just like that.

Slowly squeezed through."

Then, Wang Kaixuan's tone suddenly became mysterious: "By the way, you really need to thank me. If I hadn't called you, you wouldn't have been able to come out so easily."

Hearing his words, Chen Ziyan immediately realized something was wrong, and quickly asked: "Can you tell me in detail what happened? Did you see anything inside?"

This is not difficult to guess. Wang Kaixuan must have seen something after they left, so he said this.

Wang Kaixuan did not show off, and said directly: "You just came here, and I saw a woman walking in the distance, a woman wearing ancient clothes. You said that if you had walked a little later, you would have bumped into this thing.

together."

"Woman?" When Chen Ziyan heard this answer, he subconsciously looked at Hu Bayi.

Hu Bayi also thought of something and quickly asked: "Fat man, what kind of woman are you, what does she look like, and what clothes are you wearing?"

Wang Kaixuan said: "The style of the clothes seems to be quite old. As for what they look like, I can't see clearly. The passage is dark, so I can see clearly. It's probably pretty good. But I don't know what the plate looks like, but the note is smooth.

"

No one refuted Wang Kaixuan on this point. The two ladies didn't want to talk about this kind of topic, but Chen Ziyan and Hu Bayi knew this guy's discernment.

To say that using an antique to make Wang Kaixuan look good is just ordinary, but when it comes to women, this guy is fully worthy of the title of "experienced in many battles", and he may not make a mistake even once a hundred times.

But they are not interested in this. Compared with the appearance and figure of this so-called woman, they want to know the details of the clothes more.

Because this can help them verify their suspicions.

"Think about it again, are you wearing..." Hu Bayi was still unwilling to give up and wanted to give Wang Kaixuan some tips.

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chen Ziyan: "Okay, Lao Hu, you may get the answer you want this way, but is this answer accurate?"

Chen Ziyan's meaning was very clear. In such an environment, it would be difficult to see too much even up close, so Wang Kaixuan's answer was basically complete.

After Hu Bayi gave him a hint, it might have an impact on his subconscious mind, but such an answer has essentially lost its authenticity.

Hu Bayi did not continue to ask, he understood what Chen Ziyan meant.

Chen Ziyan didn't say much when he saw this. He looked at Wang Kaixuan and asked about other things: "Fat man, are there only a few people left?"

Wang Kaixuan nodded: "Yes, there are only a few of them. If people hadn't disappeared unknowingly, we wouldn't have stayed here."

Wang Kaixuan then told them that he noticed something was wrong shortly after taking the prisoners to the side hall.

He immediately planned to go back to the Hades Palace to find Chen Ziyan and the others, but he didn't want the road to come to them to have disappeared long ago.

Wang Kaixuan had more or less experienced some strange events, so he did not stay too long in the gradually changing side hall, and immediately left there with the prisoners, hoping to find Chen Ziyan and the others through other ways.

But during the exploration process, an unexpected situation broke his plan, that is, when they were acting, someone would always disappear quietly.

Moreover, the frequency of disappearance was extremely high. By the time Wang Kaixuan and others noticed this situation, only half of them were left.

This sudden change forced Wang Kaixuan to temporarily stop his actions. While making repairs here, he pondered whether the disappearance was man-made or due to other problems.

And not long after they stayed, they saw Wushuang Ghost walking out of this door. Wang Kaixuan was extremely happy about this.

Because this means that he is about to join his companions.

There is no doubt that Wang Kaixuan attaches great importance to this matter, which is why he will take control of the rope when the Wushuang Ghost makes an action to send a signal.

The purpose is to prevent Wushuang Ghost's wild movements from causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

After hearing Wang Kaixuan talk about this incident, Hu Ba glanced at Chen Ziyan. He finally understood why the rope had behaved like that before.

However, Chen Ziyan did not respond because he was thinking about another question, which was that Wushuang Ghost's wisdom may have increased significantly.

After all, it stands to reason that even if he is an 'acquaintance' like Wang Kaixuan, Wushuang Ghost will not pay too much attention to him.

But the current actual situation is completely opposite. Apart from the increase in his wisdom, Chen Ziyan can't think of any other reason.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan looked at Wushuang Ghost who had returned behind him. After careful observation, he found that Wushuang Ghost's eyes were indeed more lively than before, which undoubtedly confirmed his guess.

However, he did not conduct a test. Neither the venue nor the environment they were in were suitable. It would be more appropriate to do this after returning home.

There was no need for Wang Kaixuan to tell what happened next, Chen Ziyan and the others already knew it.

Because they were vigilant and did not rush into the wall, Wang Kaixuan, who was not in a hurry, wanted to go over and greet them, so he squeezed in to show his face.
