Chapter 172: The Old House

Shi Duluo also sneered, shoved the broom and mop in his hand into his arms, pretended to push him away, and said angrily, "If Mr. Yu doesn't clean this place with me so that he can live temporarily, we will live in the grave in the next life." ”

Yu Zhe took all the tools, including the one that Twilight had left for him.

"Leave it to me, your hand injury is inconvenient, you go find what you need to bring, and when I finish sweeping, I will take you to treat the wound. ”

Shi Duluo didn't shirk it, touched Yu Zhe's forehead with his finger, and scolded with a smile: "Then don't be lazy, if I check that the sweep is not clean, I won't treat the injury." ”

"You just have to rest assured, half an hour is fine. ”

After saying that, the two went their separate ways and searched for each other in the house to complete their tasks.

Yu Zhe is here for the first time, and he plans to start in the living room, and his years of experience in living alone have made him very comfortable with this kind of work.

However, when he actually did it, he found that it was not as simple as he imagined, and a single living room was almost the same as the house he lived in now.

A simple dust-clearing and opening of the dust cover reveals the full picture of the room.

Yu Zhe was a little surprised by the layout of the whole room, from the floor seems to be black walnut, a simple hand, it reveals the original calm black brown, the furniture is made of the same wood, all of them are heavily carved light, just looking, you can feel the expensive.

However, if you look closely, the furniture is older and better maintained than the wood of the floor, and this difference is not like it is caused by the fact that the house has not been taken care of for a long time.

Without time to pay attention to these details, Yu Zhe originally planned to clean up the other rooms, but he was almost attracted by the tall fireplace.

To be honest, fireplaces are not common in this country, especially in this era where heating and air conditioning are the main heating facilities, and even if there is such a thing, fireplaces are "electronic fireplaces" built for aesthetics.

But this difference, at first glance, was built when the house was built, and the inner walls have been blackened by smoke, which is definitely a real thing.

The exterior decoration is also beautiful, but this size looks much larger than the main one, and Santa Claus can probably be drilled out at Christmas.

What attracted Yu Zhe's attention was also the two gold-inlaid candlesticks on the mantelpiece, which were nothing special, but there were two rubies inlaid in them, and there was a kind of magic that made him want to pick them up and take a closer look.

However, the candlestick seemed to be glued to the fireplace, and he couldn't take it off, which completely aroused Yu Zhe's curiosity, and he was bound to see the mystery.

The carvings of the two candelabra seem to be unknown Western beasts, and from a certain angle, they are not carved in one piece, but have a tiny seam in the middle that is not easy to detect.

Yu Zhe thought of the movies he had watched, and felt that he had discovered the mystery of the candlestick, and tried to twist the candlestick along the seams, but it didn't move at all, and it seemed that this method would not work.

However, in the process of trying, he touched the outline of the entire candlestick with his fingers, and vaguely felt that there were also two grooves in the back, similar in shape to the ruby in the front.

It seems that finding what is missing behind may be the key to unlocking the mystery.

"Oh, I'll just say, you're going to be lazy. ”

Just when Yu Zhe was concentrating on studying the candlestick, Shi Duluo's voice suddenly sounded, with a somewhat playful and naughty tone, but it seemed to be a little real surprise and dissatisfaction.

"Then I have no choice but to admit punishment, and I will let you do it. ”

He stopped caring about what he was holding, and walked straight to Twilight's side, picking up the wooden box she was holding with one hand.

The box was more than 30 centimeters long, and the height was also about 20 centimeters, and it seemed to be stuffed full, and it was unexpectedly heavy.

"That candlestick appeals to you so much. Twilight suddenly mentioned, looking at the entire fireplace, her expression looking a little complicated.

"No, I just think it's exquisite. Yu Zhe changed the topic, led Shi Duluo to sit down on the sofa that had just been tidied up, she didn't seem to want to continue the topic, pretended that nothing happened, sat next to Yu Zhe, and opened the wooden box.

The things inside were full and almost overflowing, but most of them were documents and other things, which were tied into several bundles with rubber bands, Yu Zhe opened a bundle and found that they were all passports, with different names and different identities, but the photos on them were all in the twilight.

I opened another bundle, and all of them were fake ID cards, which corresponded to the name information I had just seen on my passport.

"There are so many valuable things in here, you just look at the most useless ones. ”

Twilight chuckled and opened the box from another bundle of green cards, which were bank cards from various banks, and there seemed to be more than a dozen of them.

"There are 500,000 in each card, one for each person, and if you get separated, you can find a way to survive in a short time. ”

"You're really well prepared. Yu Zhe said jokingly, the contents of this box are really everything, it seems that he had long thought that there would be a day like today, and he prepared it in advance.

"These ...... It's all the ...... prepared by Mo Lin", which evoked Shi Dusk's mood again, which made her feel a little depressed in this house, but now she is even more "seeing things and thinking about people", thinking of Mo Lin, whose life and death are unknown.

Yu Zhe secretly scolded himself for talking too much, but he didn't expect that a heartless word touched her pain point again, it seems that she should be careful when she speaks in the future, so as not to make her sad.

Shi Duluo gently rubbed the card in his hand with his hand and bit his lower lip, Yu Zhe didn't dare to disturb, just watched quietly from the side.

Suddenly, she grabbed the card hard, took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out, tilting her head to look at Yu Zhe

"I haven't told you yet, what the hell is this......"

"If it makes you uncomfortable, I don't know. Yu Zhe's tone and eyes were firm, and he put one hand on her shoulder, expressing selfless approval of her every decision.

"It's okay, I'll show you what I really look like. ”

With that, she put the card aside, and poured all the rest of the box on the couch, which had a hidden compartment, and opened it, revealing two sapphires, identical except for the color on the candlestick.

She walked to the fireplace with two jewels in her hand, and felt a churn in her heart, and though she had made up her mind, the closer she got to it, the more she flinched from it, and at last she lost even the courage to look at it.

The voice in her ears became noisy, it was Liao Fan repeating her name in various tones, not only the voice, but even the picture gradually became clear in her mind.

She became irritable and a little frightened, but there was nowhere to run.

The sound grew louder and louder, eroding her entire nerves and causing her to collapse.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. ”

Yu Zhe's words seemed to wake up Shi Dusk, and she came back to her senses and found that everything was calm, and the voice no longer existed, only feeling a slight temperature from Yu Zhe's palm.

Yu Zhe saw her appearance, but there was nothing he could do, this seemed to hide some of her obsessions, he couldn't stop it, he could only do his best to support her, thinking about it, he got a little closer to her.

With the support behind him, Twilight no longer hesitated, and directly inlaid the two sapphires behind the candlestick, only to hear a click, as if some mechanism had been triggered.

But this didn't seem to be enough, when Twilight grabbed the candlestick, what Yu Zhe couldn't turn was originally trying to change direction easily.

She turned one side clockwise and the other counterclockwise so that the two beasts stood opposite each other, and after a moment of silence, the sound of machinery spinning could be heard throughout the room.

And then......

Nothing happened?

"Did you think the entrance was in the fireplace?"

Shi Duluo looked back at Yu Zhe behind him, with a hint of cunning on his face.

Yu Zhe smiled and acquiesced to this statement, he thought that there might be a hidden space nearby, but guessed the wrong entrance.

"Here, help me push the couch away. She instructed Yu Zhe and said that she originally wanted to be together, but she didn't expect Yu Zhe to complete the work easily.

Yu Zhe looked at the bottom of the sofa, there was a European-style thick carpet, he suddenly understood something, and when he lifted the carpet, the ground was indeed a cellar-like passage.

"The house itself was built for those who had a lot of money, and there was a basement that was opened to store gold and silver treasures, but the house was bought by the bastard several times, and he actually converted it into a ...... Cage. ”

Twilight explained to Yu Zhe as she opened the secret door with one hand, and there was a downward passage inside, and there was an ominous aura in the darkness.

The two walked down the passage, it was very dark all around, even Yu Zhe, a person whose night vision was slightly better than ordinary people, could not see the road in front of him clearly, but Shi Dusk seemed to know the location of each brick, leading this Yu Zhe to walk forward quickly.

After walking for a short time, she stopped, turned something in front of her with her hand, but no matter how hard she tried, Yu Zhe helped her, touching the shape of the thing like a device on a bank safe, perhaps because it had not been used for too long, it had rusted inside, which would cause it to be difficult to turn.

However, with the strength of the two of them, it didn't take too much time, and they still succeeded in opening the thick door.

As soon as the door opened, a foul smell came to my nose, like the smell of rotting corpses, and the feet creaked like hundreds of rats running by.

Not only that, Yu Zhe also felt that all kinds of small insects began to fly around him, and some even fell on him, and he couldn't get rid of it.

The harsh environment and the infinite darkness made him feel an unprecedented oppression, even fear, and now even a little light could make him feel at ease.

Finally, Twilight turned on the light.

The moment the light bulb lit up, Yu Zhe didn't even get used to the light, he closed his eyes stung by the light, and it took a few seconds to ease up.

And the scene in front of him can really be described as shocking.
