Restricted Doomsday Syndrome

Chapter 19: Secret door

Fujiang and I walked out of the granary and tried to find the other side of the wall, only to find that it did not exist. The long corridor stretched all the way to the depths of darkness, and then there was no door for more than ten meters. That wall is not a partition of another room, but a part of the cement stone wall. This was not consistent with what Fu Jiang observed in the granary. She determined that the flat gap was empty.

"Maybe it is empty." Back to about the distance where the wall was, I kicked the stone wall of the corridor full of mud and scratches.

Fujiang also struck with an axe, but there was nothing wrong with the echo.

"It may be too thick," she said.

This underground building is large and complex. We have been in for a while. We have not found the monster's lair or found any other exits. It was nothing. I propose to focus on our purpose, don't pay attention to these details, and continue to go down to see what else. Fu Jiang insisted on digging out the secrets of this granary. This is like a Sudoku game. Once it gets stuck, it will take several hours. This is not the first time I have seen Fu Jiang's unexpected stubborn side.

Well, she was always right when she was stubborn, just like facing a horn monster. I used this reason to convince myself.

So we returned to the granary and continued to look for clues that might be ignored by ourselves.

I study the footprints of insects in the corners. In this dark and damp place, they are well-deserved ground snakes, and even the gaps that mice can't pass through are like open doors to them. If there is a hole behind the wall, maybe ants and the like will crawl in from there.

Fujiang continued to study the gaps in the lamp holders. After a while, she told me that except for the side of the gate and the wall facing the gate, the lamp holders on both sides of the wall had similar gaps. But even if the flashlight shines in, you can't see what is on the opposite side.

I walked around the corner and found something interesting. The thickness of the dust and the traces along the wall reveal many secrets.

Such signs have been mentioned in many books. The flashlight shines on the wall. I carefully inspected the wall in the halo, and as expected, I found some unique places. After removing the stains, there are several places on the wall that are smoother than others, and those stains look like some kind of marks.

I called Fujiang.

"Look, people often press this place."

Fujiang put his palm up to fit the size.

Why do those people put their hands here for many years? There are several explanations, but with the traces of the corners, I believe in one of them.

Fu Jiang seemed to think of it too.

"Is this a secret door?"

Both Fujiang and I are here for fun. The organ on the wall is either pushing or pulling, but pushing should be more appropriate here. I pressed my hand on those fingerprints and pushed inward. Exhausted all his energy, but the walls are still. After seeing this, Fu Jiang also joined hands, and the two of them worked hard together, and the wall showed signs of loosening. So, if I tried harder, the wall made a dull sound and slowly backed away until it could no longer move.

There are no special changes in the room. Fu Jiang and I immediately thought of the other wall, so we relied on the gourd scoop and pushed it forward.

When the living wall reached the end, the vibration penetrated the entire room, and dust and dirt fell on the top of the head. Without a helmet and protective clothing, we might escape, but now we have no effect on the fully armed. .

When Fujiang and I felt the change in the room, we opened an entrance to the wall of the room door.

As if there will be countless venomous snakes swarming in the next moment, Fu Jiang and I carefully took out the weapons, but the hostile life did not appear, but a pool of water poured out from the secret door. The water is turbid and dirty, because there are a lot of inexplicable things in it, and the mixed odor emitted can be smelled even when wearing a mask.

Fujiang and I did not retreat, and the water quickly covered the foot, but the protective clothing had several layers of plastic film that could not penetrate into it, but the shoes became heavy after absorbing water. The encounter in front of me made people feel lucky to have been prepared.

Fujiang reached out and picked up a floating object in the water. I took the flashlight and turned my eyes away. It was an intestine, and it swelled in the water. Fu Jiang threw it back into the water in disgust.

No one mentions entering the secret door first.

"I remember there are many dead bodies of animals." I said.

"Any questions?"

"The ghosts ate all the corpses on the ground before."

If this is their hiding place, why not eat all the corpses here?

"Maybe they are picky eaters." Fu Jiang said jokingly.

"Maybe." I said, "I have a crow in my house."

Fujiang looked at me unknown.

"Crows are scavengers. But after I kept them for a while, they ate fresh meat every day, but now they do n’t eat any carrion."

"That means ..."

"If picky eaters are not by nature, they are trained."

"Do you mean they are in captivity?"

"Who knows. I will talk about it casually."

Fujiang turned his gaze back to the secret door.

"Do you want to go in?"

"Go in, it's all open anyway." I said with courage.

Fujiang's destiny is from the most incisive performance, and he walked toward the dark door with the water flowing first. I followed the side and back closely one step away, placing my index finger on the trigger of the crossbow, ready to pull it down at any time.

The corridor behind the dark door extends horizontally and is five meters wide. The stone wall is covered with water stains. From time to time, drops of water drip from the top of the head, hitting the poncho and stagnant water making a dull hollow sound. According to the calculation of the depth of the accumulated water, before opening the dark door, the accumulated water did not fill the entire tunnel, leaving obvious marks on the stone wall about one meter high.

The road slopes down a certain distance. As it goes deeper, the accumulated water gradually rises to the knee. When walking, it will kick the unidentified floating objects in the water, which makes people feel hairy.

Passed the first corner to the position of the granary living wall. The distance we traveled was more than six meters, and the distance to push the living wall was only one meter. I do n’t know if the living wall has been filled up after the moving wall. Fu Jiang raised the flashlight aperture to the height of the living wall lamp holder, and we stopped here.

Fujiang is staring right there, and I know what she is looking for. I focused my attention on her, guarding against any sudden danger.

"I have a question." Fu Jiang suddenly said: "Those monsters that ate corpses appeared at night, and left before dawn. Is it because of the photic nature? It's as dark here, but there is no sign of their activity."

"Maybe they are full and sleeping." I answered.

"I am serious." Fu Jiang said dissatisfiedly: "If they are going out from the entrance where we came in, there should be some traces along the way."

"Me too." I said: "It's too complicated here, maybe they are taking another route, and the traces are not obvious. To know that the first monster I encountered can be invisible, they may have nothing. Weird instincts. Second, I do n’t think they are photophobic. "

"How to say?"

"Like you said, there is insufficient evidence of photophobia. So I think about the biological clock."

"Biological clocks ... are they only active during that time period? Well, indeed it is more appropriate."

Fujiang still stared at the wall like a statue.

"Maybe found it." She turned to me and said, "Become a reincarnation again?"

I shot the flashlight towards the wall. Maybe my eyes were not good enough for her, and I couldn't see anything.

I bent down and Fu Jiang straddled my shoulders. UU reading www.uukanshu.com The wet water on her feet ran down her shoulders. Although she had protective clothing, it still made people sick. Moreover, even if part of the weapon is dropped, the heavily armed body is still very heavy.

"What did you find?" I asked back.

"Some traces, like something crawling through, they might be hidden in those gaps." Fu Jiang said, leaning his eyes in front of the gap.

"You can't see it from there, nor can you see it here." I said.

"But I know there is still space available."

Fujiang inserted the wooden stick that had previously lifted the white silk into it and stirred it for a while. When it was taken out, it not only wrapped more white silk, but also had a spindle hanging on it.

"It looks like a chrysalis." She said as she packed the chrysalis into the prepared plastic bag.

Suddenly, Fu Jiang's movement stopped. I still wanted to say something, but she made a silent gesture of listening to me.

I don't know why, but still try to listen. Sure enough, in addition to the sound of water, there was a faint noise in the silence.

Fujiang keenly judged the direction of the voice.

"in front."

I know she refers to this secret passage.

"Is it ... a human?" Her tone was uncertain.

Through the thick swimming goggles, she still seems to feel her surprise. Not only did she do this, I also felt that my heart suddenly accelerated. There are other people in this place? They certainly did not come in from the entrance when we came.

Has a complicated feeling. Like meeting strangers in the desert, they may have water, they may bring danger, or they may be in trouble. Which kind are they? do not know.

"Go and see." I said.

Fujiang had no objection, jumped off my shoulder, and the sound of water struck suddenly in the channel.
