Chapter 30 Bewildering
"A fierce battle happened not long ago here. According to the clues left at the scene, the opponent should have been attacked by monsters and had to escape. Moreover, the target was obviously seriously injured when covering another person's escape. This can be seen from the remaining blood around. At the same time, the target's battle with the monsters lasted for a long time, otherwise the scene would not have been damaged so seriously. In the end, the battle continued to extend to the west, perhaps because of the target's intentional seduction. If someone was sent to search the west now, if you were lucky, you might even find the target's corpse."
The hound, who was responsible for tracking the whereabouts of Alex, came to his own conclusion after surveying a devastated woods.
"Why are you lucky?" Toran, who was standing next to the hound, said expressionlessly.
"Get nothing." The hound said indifferently.
Tolan turned his head and looked at his subordinate behind him, waved his hand to signal the other party to lead a team to search the west.
"Where did the other blasphemer escape? If Alex successfully escapes from the monster, he will definitely meet with the other party."
"To the north, the Vampire Bat Cave." The Hound raised his hand and pointed in a direction. "There are footprints left by the other party all the way, so it is easy to track his whereabouts."
"Everyone obeys the order and targets the vampire bat cave."
Toran believed in the Hound's judgment, but this was the help he hired for a lot of money. So far, he had never disappointed him.
...
"Is this an outpost that the demon once built?"
When Alex learned from Chen An the meaning of the words engraved on the silver medal, he was shocked. However, compared to this, he cared more about why Chen An understood the words of the devil.
"The nameplate is indeed so marked." Chen An frowned and glanced back and forth at the surrounding stone walls and said, "But the question is, there is no outpost here."
"After all, the demons don't know how many years have been suppressed to the abyss. Even though they have built so-called outposts here, time has changed, and the outposters must have turned into dust long ago." Alex believed.
"...You're very reasonable. Are the things that the devil has built so easily destroyed?" Chen An said with deep doubts.
"If the demons were really that powerful, how could they be completely suppressed and sealed by the gods?" Alex said disdainfully.
"Alex, you can't belittle the demons because they were defeated by the gods. No matter how much they say, the demons are equal to the gods, otherwise the war between them would not have lasted for tens of thousands of years before they had a result." Chen An shook his head. "For example, taking the metal nameplate in front of you, the outside world has not known how many years have passed, but it is still brand new. If it were the nameplate made by mortals, it would have been rusted in a few decades... Hey, by the way, why did I forget, why am I so stupid! Since the nameplate is nothing, then the outposts here will definitely be fine. The nameplate, nameplate, and generally the nameplate will be fixed on the exterior wall of the building that meets the instructions, and the outpost may be in this stone wall!"
Halfway through Chen An's words, he began to talk to himself as if he had changed. At the same time, his spirit became extremely excited. Before Alex could react, he had already picked up the dagger and dug it into the stone wall where he found the nameplate.
bite--
With a crisp sound, Chen An, who was digging out the stone wall with a dagger, was stunned to find that a small piece of the tip of the dagger was actually broken.
"Sure enough! The outpost must be behind this stone wall! The hard touch of the tip of the dagger just now must be the exterior wall of the outpost!"
Looking at Chen An as crazy as if he was, Alex was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. He seemed to have become the Chen An he felt strange again.
"An! An! An! An!"
Regardless of the pain in his body and arms, Alex forced himself to pounce on Chen An, who was digging the stone wall with his complete hands and shouted.
"What the hell are you doing? What's the use of finding the so-called demon outpost after you dug this stone wall and found it? Don't waste your energy!"
"What do you know?! What do you know?" At this moment, Chen An had red eyes and stared at Alex who was blocking him. "Do you know what this nameplate means? Do you know what the outpost means? Perhaps the key to our rescue is the outpost in front of us! Don't think that I can't see how much injury you have suffered. As long as you continue to delay like this, you will die like me! And I will never let you die here because of my relationship!"
"An! Be calm! Don't hold on to those whimsical ideas anymore! I don't want to understand what nameplate or outpost you said! I don't want to understand either! I just hope you will become back to your original self! Don't go crazy anymore!" Alex, who was suppressing Chen An, couldn't help but burst into tears when he shouted this sentence.
"Alex! I will save you if there is a trace of hope, so don't stop me, please don't let me feel guilty towards you when I die!" Chen An gradually stopped struggling, and his red eyes returned to a hint of clarity. He closed his eyes because he didn't want Alex to see his fragile appearance of tears.
"An! I'm willing to do all this! So you don't have to feel guilty at all. It's all my own choice!" Alex sobbed.
"Alex... It's me who's sorry for you, it's me who's sorry for you..." Chen An whispered bitterly, "Why are you who's so kind to me! You shouldn't be so kind to me..."
"An..." Alex slowly let go of the hand that suppressed Chen An. He took a deep breath, and an indescribable smile appeared on his pretty face.
"If I were a girl, if I had fallen in love with you hopelessly, would you still wonder if I was good to you?"
“…”
Chen An was awake and completely awake.
After hearing Alex's confession that subverted his long-term understanding, Chen An was stunned for a long time.
Looking back on every bit of his acquaintance with Alex, he seemed to have regarded Alex as a man from the beginning, because he had boyish characteristics in terms of appearance, voice, words and behavior, etc. Although he did not have an Adam's apple, he thought that he was in the development stage of puberty, and perhaps the Adam's apple would grow later. After all, everyone's development is different, let alone in the medieval period when nutrition was poor, it was normal to develop poorly.
He rarely plays with Alex, so he naturally has no physical intimacy. In addition, he has never seen Alex's naked body before. How can he tell the first sexual characteristics of his male or female from the wide robe he usually wears?
Could it be—
Alex is really a tomboy who looks like a boy?!
For a moment, both of them fell into an awkward and silent atmosphere.
boom--
Just as Chen An was about to break the silence opening, the entire cave suddenly shook slightly like an earthquake, and countless gravel fell from the top of the cave instantly, but Chen An's attention was inexplicably directed to the stone wall he had just dug.
Because pieces of soil were constantly falling off the stone wall, revealing an alloy door with silver-white light inside.
"Alex...you see..."
He seemed to be disbelief and pointed at the stone wall ahead, prompting Alex pressing on him.
Alex, who was confused, turned around and showed a shocked expression when he saw the silver door in front of him.
"Alex, can you leave me now?"
Chen An, who intends to get up, patted Alex on the shoulder.
After hearing this, Alex immediately got up embarrassedly, and did not dare to face Chen An.
Chen An took a deep breath and came to the silver gate, reached out and pressed it up. In an instant, he felt the coldness, hardness and smooth texture of the gate.
——Ding!
——Identity identification is being identified, please be patient!
——Carbon-based humanoid creature confirmation!
——Identity recognition is passed, allowed to be enabled!
No one would have thought that Chen An just touched the silver door with his palm, and a neutral sound filled with mechanical synthesis immediately sounded in his ears.
"who?!"
Alex subconsciously pulled out the dagger from another leather boot and looked around nervously.
Click—
Then, he saw the silver door in front of him open.
Looking at the narrow passage behind the door, which was like daylight, Chen An's eyelids kept beating wildly since the beginning. He calmed down his restlessness, turned around and picked up his backpack on the ground, and then waved his hand to say hello to Alex.
"Alex, let's go!"
“…”
Everything that happened in front of him seemed to exceed Alex's imagination. In the end, he could only follow Chen An in silence and step into the silver gate in front of him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped into the gate, a scream came from a place not far outside the gate!
"Captain! We found them..."
"No! It seems that the people from the temple are chasing me!"
Alex reacted first.
"Close the door! Close the door..."
In desperation, Chen An suddenly shouted at the unmanned passage.
——The request was received and the door is being closed.
The familiar mechanical sound rang again, and the silver door in front of him slowly began to close.
Chen An and Alex stared at the silver gate and stepped back step by step. For a moment, when the gate was about to close completely, they saw a long sword suddenly inserted into the crack of the door, and a man's face with a ferocious expression appeared outside the crack of the door.
"Blasphemers, you can't escape!"
bite--
They clearly heard the threat from the people outside the door. Unfortunately, the long sword was not only unable to stop the door from closing, but instead broke under the powerful squeeze of the door.
——The door has been closed. Is the door locked?
