For more than ten seconds, no one spoke, and everyone's eyes were focused on the copper pillar, to be precise, in the copper box inside the copper pillar, a large number of bullet casings, mottled bloodstains, all of which showed that Zhao Ying and the others were attacked by an unknown enemy on the back of the copper pillar.

The number of cartridge casings left in the copper box is staggering, in the hundreds, most of which are rifle cartridge casings, and the rest are pistol cartridge casings, and the blood stains are mainly concentrated in the edge area of the copper box, with fewer at the bottom and more in the middle and top.

After a moment, Xiao Qin walked towards the copper box.

Wang happily raised his hand to try to stop her, but Xiao Qin made a worry-free gesture at her, and then carefully walked to the bottom step and inspected the copper box from there.

The results of the examination were very short, "it was a continuous shooting for a short period of time, and the remaining blood stains were not human blood." ”

Wang Xinran frowned suspiciously, "What kind of animal?"

Xiao Qin used a strong light to look for it, and after a few seconds, he pinched something from the edge of the copper box, what was unclear, it should be something like hair.

Xiao Qin first observed with the naked eye, and then asked Wang Xinran for a lighter, lit it and burned it, and sniffed deeply in front of his nose, "It's not a mammal, it's an oviparous animal." ”

"What is it?" Wang happily asked.

Xiao Qin shook his head, "No matter what it is, there will definitely not be many of them, and the individuals are very large, so they are likely to fly." ”

Wang Xinran pointed to the bullet casings in the copper box, "If the number is not ......."

Without waiting for Wang Xinran to finish speaking, Xiao Qin waved her hand to interrupt her words, "It's definitely not a lot, you see these few blood stains, they are sprayed by shooting at close range, animals that can spurt out so much blood after being injured will definitely not be very small, and the reason why so many bullet casings are left is also because this animal is very large and difficult to kill." ”

Everyone's hearts were slightly lighter when they heard this, except for Wu Zhongyuan, they all had actual combat experience, and they really faced their opponents, they were not afraid of the big opponents, but they were afraid that the opponents were large, and the two fists were difficult to defeat the four hands, and they couldn't parry.

Huang Hailin asked, "Why do you say they can fly?"

Xiao Qin pointed to a few blood stains on the edge of the copper box, "The blood stains are all splashed down from above. ”

"Did they have any casualties?" Wang Xinran asked again.

Xiao Qin didn't answer immediately, took out a telescopic slinger from his pocket, threw it out, and then leaned over the steps to pluck the bullet casings in the copper box for inspection, "They have carried out effective defense, and there should be no casualties." Speaking of this, Xiao Qin added, "At least not before leaving the copper pillar." ”

"Why doesn't your bird speak?" Wu Zhongyuan asked, "Can it see something?"

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Xiao Qin tilted his head and looked at the starling on his shoulder, "Little, you can speak." ”

As soon as Xiao Qin's words fell, the little began to shout at the top of his voice, "Get out, go out ......"

The little nigger screamed ugly, and Wang Xinran frowned in disgust, "What's the mess, you better shut it up." ”

"Stupid. The little took the time to scold Wang Xinran, and then shouted to go out.

"Shut up. Xiao Qin stopped.

The little nigger still obeyed the order, Xiao Qin told it to shut up, and it really stopped shouting, but this did not mean that it was very convinced, but it dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and pointed its butt to Xiao Qin's head to express its dissatisfaction.

"Did it have a premonition?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Xiao Qin shook his head, "It's very smart, and it's also very good at seeing gods, but it's no different from ordinary starlings." ”

"Then why is it clamoring to go out?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"It just doesn't like the relatively confined space, the kind of place that makes it feel oppressive. Xiao Qin said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded and didn't ask again, Xiao Qin and the others were originally transferred to arrest people, and they didn't plan to enter the underground altar before.

After the discussion, there was silence, and then Wang Xinran needed to make a decision, she needed to decide whether to move forward or go back.

Wang Xinran did not act arbitrarily, but looked at Xiao Qin, and Xiao Qin's expression was very calm. Then he looked at Yang Yi again, Yang Yi still didn't look awake, leaning against the stone wall on the right.

Wang Xinran looked at Huang Hailin last, Huang Hailin knew that Wang Xinran was asking for his opinion, and he also knew why Wang Xinran wanted everyone's opinion, that was because two colleagues died in the line of duty in the underwater mausoleum of Poyang Lake half a year ago, and Wang Xinran led the team that time.

"We must go in, otherwise what are we going to do when we come down," Huang Hailin said first, and then added, "But there is one thing we need to pay attention to, there is no mechanism that can make the copper pillar rotate inside the copper pillar, and on the other side, the mechanism that makes the copper pillar rotate may be set up very secretly, and it will take a certain amount of time to find it." ”

Wang Xinran nodded slowly when he heard this, Huang Hailin's implication was that once the copper pillar was turned over, it would be impossible to turn back in a short period of time, and no matter what danger was encountered, everyone had to face it.

Many people want to be leaders, but in fact, leaders are not so easy to be, although party leaders can enjoy privileges, but at the same time, they also need to bear the consequences of their decisions, Wang Xinran is facing such a situation at this time.

But she didn't hesitate too much, and after a short silence, she stepped into the copper box.

Wu Zhongyuan followed first, then Xiao Qin, and Yang Yi followed.

As soon as Yang Yi entered, the copper pillar suddenly began to rotate counterclockwise, without any warning before.

Fortunately, the copper pillar rotated very slowly, and Huang Hailin also stepped in.

"How could the mechanism be activated suddenly?" Wu Zhongyuan looked at Huang Hailin suspiciously.

Huang Hailin shook his head and said, "It's not that it started suddenly, but that the person who came in reached the weight needed to trigger the mechanism." ”

Wang happily pushed Wu Zhongyuan to the inside of the copper box, and then pulled out his pistol and walked to the outside of the copper box. Huang Hailin and Xiao Qin also drew their guns and watched their attention. Yang Yi also pinned a pistol to his waist, but he didn't pull out the gun, but rubbed his eyes and yawned.

Seeing Yang Yi so relaxed, Wu Zhongyuan was very puzzled, relaxation is a state, this state needs to have strong strength as the foundation, Wang Xinran only said that Yang Yi would have special functions, but he didn't say what kind of special functions he would have.

With the slow rotation of the copper box, the gap gradually closed, and he didn't know what Wang Xinran and the others were thinking, but his biggest worry at this time was that the copper box suddenly stopped rotating and trapped everyone inside.

Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen, although the copper box turned very slowly, it did not stop halfway, and gradually turned to the other side.

As soon as a vertical crack was revealed, everyone felt a cold feeling, and along with the coldness, there was also a thick bloody gas.

It feels cold because there is wind, and the wind is a very common thing, but it doesn't make sense to appear here, there is indeed wind, and it is a cold yin wind.

"The lights will reveal our location, and it will also be easy to attract enemies, do you want to put out a few lights?" Xiao Qin asked in a low voice.

"No," Wang said happily, "if they live in a lightless environment all the time, their eyes will deteriorate." ”

"If I knew there was an unknown creature, I should have brought in Seventeen. Huang Hailin said.

At this time, the edge of the copper box had left the wall more than ten centimeters, and Wang Xinran used a strong flashlight to shine outward, but he couldn't see anything.

The reason why you can't see anything is because there's nothing outside, it's really nothing, no walls, no steps, nothing.

As the gap increased, Xiao Qin also began to radiate outward, and the result of irradiation was the same as Wang Xinran, there was nothing outside, not even a road, and there was an abyss under his feet.

As the copper box turned, the light finally hit the thing, and it was a bridge, a stone bridge without railings.

When the copper box stopped rotating, its angle was facing this clumsy stone bridge, the stone bridge was about five meters wide, straight ahead, there was no end in sight, the length was unknown, and the stone bridge was supported by several peaks and rocks protruding from the canyon.

There were also a lot of bullet casings left on the edge of the stone bridge, as well as large patches of blood.

A relatively confined space can feel oppressive, but too empty a space can also make people panic, and everyone is on the edge of a cliff at this time, and there is nowhere to step in front of them except this stone bridge.

Knowing that the light might attract enemies, everyone couldn't help but shine around, but except for the stone bridge in front of them and the occasional peak rock in front of them, they couldn't see anything, they couldn't see the situation at the bottom of the canyon, and they couldn't see the dome above.

Wu Zhongyuan has night vision, but the strong flashlight used by everyone has a great impact on him, and it is difficult for people's eyesight to adapt to the sudden transition between light and darkness.

After a short observation, Wang Xinran was the first to step out of the copper box and step onto the stone bridge, because the scattered bullet casings on the stone bridge might make his feet slip, or he wanted to determine the depth of the canyon, Wang Xinran used his foot to pull some of the bullet casings off the bridge.

After waiting for a long time, there was no echo, and the canyon was bottomless.

Huang Hailin was the second to walk out of the copper box, standing on the bridge and turning to face the copper box, his task was to find the activation mechanism that made the copper box rotate.

Xiao Qin also wanted to go out, but Yang Yi stretched out his hand to stop her, "You stay to protect him." ”

After speaking, Yang Yi walked out, walked to the other side of Huang Hailin, and protected him with Wang Xinran, Huang Hailin was engrossed in looking for the mechanism, there was no time to be distracted, and the two needed to ensure his safety.

It was only then that Yang Yi pulled out his pistol, but he did not face the enemy like Wang Xinran, but randomly used his feet to pull the bullet casings that might affect everyone's passage from the bridge.

Although Wu Zhongyuan did not have a fear of heights, he was still a little frightened when he saw the two of them standing on the stone bridge without the protection of the bridge railing, and secretly sweated for the two.

Huang Hailin first inspected the mountain around the copper box, and after confirming that there was no mechanism on the mountain, he checked the stone bridge under his feet, and carefully inspected the bridge deck and both sides of the stone bridge, but still did not find the existence of the mechanism.

In the end, Huang Hailin came to a result, this hollow copper pillar can only be opened from the outside, and there is no mechanism to activate it inside, this is a road of no return that can only be advanced and cannot be retreated.

For such a result, everyone is not very worried, because they have 18 sub-bureaus behind them, and if they don't go out for a long time, the headquarters will definitely organize a rescue.

"Let's go," Wang Xinran beckoned to Wu Zhongyuan, "You walk in the middle." ”

Wu Zhongyuan stood still and did not move.

"Let's go. Wang happily urged.

Wu Zhongyuan still didn't move, staring intently into the distance.

"What's wrong?" Wang Xinran wanted to turn back.

"Don't look back," Wu Zhongyuan beckoned to her, "There's something behind you, walk back slowly......"
