Accompanied by that old but loud voice, Duncan heard a tinkling sound coming from the hut, as if someone got up in a hurry and bumped into something, followed by the sound of footsteps approaching, An old man with a stooped body, thin white hair, a gray coat, and wrinkled face appeared near the door.

The so-called "Old Ghost" stood in his administrator's hut, bent over, his slightly cloudy eyes swept outside, and I don't know if he saw the few people standing outside the door. He hurriedly lowered his head and muttered: "The queen is here to inspect... I didn't prepare well... Those assistants are getting more and more unreliable, and the messengers... ..."

"Old ghost!" Nemo had to interrupt the old man's chanting with a loud voice, "The queen is not coming! The queen is not coming back! We have a guest today—a distinguished guest arranged by Captain Tirian, so stop talking , they came to see you."

While talking, Nemo turned his head and said to Duncan with an apology on his face: "Sorry——as you can see, he is a little nervous, and he often suddenly recalls things decades ago But don’t look at it like this, as long as he deals with pipes and valves, he will wake up immediately.”

"Awake? I'm awake!" Just as he was speaking, the "old ghost" suddenly rolled his eyes, as if he understood all of a sudden, he looked at Duncan and the others, muttering, "Guest, there are still strange faces entering here... Have you checked the token, and there is a password."

"I checked, of course I checked," Nemo said immediately, and at the same time gave Duncan a careful look, "These are honored guests, so you just... you just pretend it's Captain Tirian in person. "

"Oh, come in then, although I don't have anything to see here," the old ghost muttered, stepping aside, "They are all old antiques, if you don't mind."

Vanna turned her head to look at Morris, but Morris kept staring at the "old ghost".

A moment later, Morris shook his head, and said in a low voice, "It's not easy to judge - his mind is not normal, and his memory is intermittent."

Duncan heard Morris' soft report, and his expression did not change. He just followed behind the nagging old man and walked into the abandoned manager's lounge.

The lounge is not big, and it is brightly lit by a gas lamp. As expected, it is filled with all kinds of things. Except for a bed in the corner, as far as the naked eye can see is The shelves that have been bent and deformed and the boxes on the ground are full of various mechanical parts, spare valve sets, and work tools.

Even if a skilled acrobat came over, he would have to be handicapped at level ten to get out.

"It's a mess," Alice looked at the chaotic scene in the room, and couldn't help muttering, "I really want to clean it up..."

"Ah, I'm very sorry!" The old ghost who was walking among the debris immediately turned around, bent down and bowed, "Your Majesty, I have neglected management recently, and this place is a bit chaotic..."

Alice was stunned: "Huh?"

Duncan's eyes also changed slightly in an instant, but when he looked at the old ghost and wanted to say something, the old man was suddenly in a trance, and while standing up, he muttered to himself: "Weird, I Where do you put the kettle.....how can you not even drink your saliva when the guests come..."

Duncan and the others looked at each other.

"I don't need to look for your water bottle anymore. A few guests just asked you for some information," Nemo said at this time, "About the current situation of the second waterway and your own situation, they are here to investigate. .”

"Investigate?" The old ghost stopped immediately, and turned around with a very serious expression, "General Tirian still needs to investigate his troops? Is there a traitor? Is it our area? Or the one in the central city?" ? I think they've been talking about it lately..."

"There are no traitors, but there may be other lurkers who are threatened by some kind of extraordinary pollution," Vanna stepped forward at this time, but almost tripped over the debris on the ground—this chaotic hut was very important to her. Mi Jiu's height is really a very challenging place, "You recently and other areas

People contacted? Someone has abnormal behavior? "

"Abnormal? It's not to this extent, but the connectors in the central city have been saying recently that there is a gurgling sound in the abandoned pipes on their side, as if someone is going to activate the second waterway," the old man said. The ghost waved his hand, "Well, you have all seen the situation of the second waterway. The things the Queen built at that time were solid, but after all, they have been abandoned for so many years, and there are many areas below that cannot be approached, and sometimes the underground The river will seep into the crevices of the rocks, and it is normal to bring some strange noises...

The old man's words would go off track from time to time, and Duncan had to forcefully bring the topic back: "The central city you mentioned...is the area where the Boiling Gold Mine is located?"

"Boiling gold? Ah, yes, boiling gold, it's all there—the cathedral is there, the queen's palace is there, and the mine is also there. The mine is so deep, it must be hundreds of meters deep," The old ghost sat on his bed, and while he was talking, he patted his leg suddenly, "Ah, by the way, it should be the sound coming from which floor of the mine, the second waterway over there is quite close to the mine .....Let me just say, the connector over there is too nervous, talking about it..."

The old man started talking to himself again, but this time Duncan didn't interrupt - he was lost in thought.

He recalled the situation when he first came to Frost, and recalled the first body he used here - a worker who fell to his death in the boiling gold mine, fell into the bottom of the mine, and was finally killed What the searchers brought up was a fake made of "elements".

And now, the old ghost mentioned that the "connector" lurking in the central city once heard a strange sound coming from the pipeline of the second waterway, which sounded like something was surging inside—the central city's The second waterway is very close to a certain layer in the Boiling Gold Mine.

Considering that they are both "antiques" left over from the Queen's era half a century ago, Duncan even suspects that the relationship between the two is not just "very close".

Maybe those channels are all interoperable!

He quickly wrote down this clue, and then asked: "Is there a way to go directly to the underground of the central city from here? How do you usually meet with the connector?"

"From here? That's not okay. There is a road in the middle that is completely black and has been polluted long ago. The other roads have also collapsed. You have to start from the ground, but the ground is now full of minions of the rebels. It takes a long time Be careful..." the old ghost muttered, but suddenly shouted again, "The Queen's Guard! The rebels are coming, blow up the shaft!"

The old man suddenly stood up from the bed and looked around nervously, as if the rebels would attack this place in the next second, but suddenly he stopped again and his eyes fell on Alice.

"Oh, I made a mistake, the queen is safe and sound...."

Alice was flustered and quickly waved her hands: "I...I'm not the queen..."

Duncan looked deeply at the old man standing by the bed, but the latter became dazed again. After a few seconds, he looked at Alice dully: "Girl, who are you?"

"Old ghost, you are really old and confused--this is not only a problem of smoking too much poisonous smoke back then, it is a problem with your eyesight!" At this moment, Nemo's voice suddenly sounded, calling After this weird moment ended, the informant nodded apologetically to Duncan, "I'm sorry, although the old ghost is usually a little distracted, but today he seems to be particularly serious. It may be that he hasn't dealt with outsiders for a long time. I'm a little excited to see you, so I messed up the events of the year."

"...It's okay." Duncan said lightly, his eyes slowly withdrawing from the old man.

He didn't really care whether the old man really saw the shadow of the Frost Queen from the disguised Alice—was it a brief sobriety in the muddy mind? Have you seen through this disguise? Or just plain memory confusion? None of this matters ~IndoMTL.com~ If this crazy old man really saw a little phantom of the Frost Queen from Alice, and felt a moment of peace in his heart because of this, that would be a good thing.

At this moment, Nemo seemed to suddenly remember something, and frowned: "It's strange, why hasn't the crow come back at this time?"

"The crow? He went to check the northern corridor," the old ghost said

He waved his hand, "That guy is a slow-moving person, he never came back after wandering outside for a long time."

Nemo's furrowed brows didn't relax at all: "...No, even if it's a little bit longer, he should be back by now, the lights over there are often out of order, and his lantern can't last so long ...Old ghost, when did he leave? "

"Two or three hours?" The old ghost thought for a while, and seemed to be a little serious, "So, it seems that I have been away for quite a long time."

"I have a bad feeling. The crow has stayed in the deep waterway for too long," Nemo finally said with a serious tone, and looked up at Duncan and the others, "I have to find him.
