Chapter 20: The Mouse
I was amazed to see the steps that led to the ground under my desk, which were made of concrete and had no handrails.
I suddenly remembered the plot in "The Devil's Feast".
According to the memories of Japanese veterans: In the building of the headquarters of Unit 731, there is an extremely secret dissecting room, and the dissection room has a secret underground passage, which is connected to the special prison where "Maluta" is held, starting from the northwest corner of the first floor of the building, going straight forward, turning left, and walking down a concrete staircase without handrails, which is the "entrance" of the passage.
There is no handrail to go down the stairs, turn right and walk for about half a minute, there is an underground passage, and then go up the concrete stairs, this upward staircase has no handrails.
At the top of the staircase there is an iron door. This is the "exit" of the underground tunnel, and the exit is where the dissection room is located, and the dissection room has many secret passages to the bacteriological laboratory, small animal laboratory, etc.
- "Maluta" literally translates to "log", which is the Japanese contemptuous name for the prisoners of war who entered this evil force.
Could it be that this is a secret passage leading to the dissecting room? However, the secret passage described by the Japanese veteran is on the first floor, and I am now on the second floor, so where does this passage in front of me lead?
I was ready to go down and find out.
I took my flashlight and walked down the steps step by step, and when I reached the last step, the sound of the machine and the rubbing of stones sounded again.
I jerked up and saw that the entrance was closed, and I was the only one standing alone in the dark passage with a flashlight.
Since there is no turning back, let's move forward.
I picked up my flashlight, illuminated the path in front of the passage, and cautiously walked into the depths of the passage.
The passage was so narrow that only one person could pass through, and I moved slowly while holding on to the concrete walls at both ends. After walking for about ten minutes, a wall blocked my way.
This time I didn't hesitate and walked straight up to push the wall. After all, no matter how perverted Ishii is, he shouldn't have the habit of digging a dead end in his secret office, right?
I pushed the "stone wall" in front of me hard and entered another passage.
I took a closer look at the passage: I had come out of the right-hand wall of the passage, and now I was leaning against the wall, and on my left hand side was a concrete staircase without handrails, and on my right hand side was a curved hallway.
It dawned on me that this passage was the secret passage to the dissection room described by the Japanese veteran!
Will there be any clues about the vermilion fish in the dissection room? I immediately walked into the passage on the right-hand side, this time picking up my pace.
Turning the hallway, I saw what Japanese veterans described as the "exit" of the passage — a dilapidated iron gate that opened outward.
I hurriedly walked over to the iron gate and pulled it open with all my might. The dilapidated iron door screaked and the rust from the doorknob stained my palms. This demon cave that once ate people has awakened at this moment.
I walked through the iron door into the dissecting room: the walls were made of concrete on all sides, and there was an iron door on each side of the wall that was identical to the one I had entered. According to the book, that was probably the passage to those bacteriological labs, frostbite labs.
Raising the flashlight, I looked up and saw a dilapidated but huge lamp hanging from the concrete roof.
Directly below the lamp was a rusty iron bed, resembling a modern operating table, empty and empty, except for a few discarded iron buckets piled up in the corner.
I looked around as I walked over to the pile of iron buckets. I first shone a flashlight on the inside of the tin bucket and found that there was only a pile of dust and rust inside, and some air-dried water stains.
I crouched in front of the buckets, moving them one by one, carefully examining the barrels to see if there were any clues I was looking for on them.
As I was moving the bucket, a dark shadow suddenly popped out of the bucket pile!
The black shadow was running along the wall, looking like some kind of animal. I was startled and immediately shone my flashlight – it was a gray-black mouse. But what almost made me faint was that the mouse was the size of a little paparazzi!
Looking at the frantically jumping figure, my throat instantly became dry. Just as I was standing there and not knowing what to do, I suddenly heard a "rustling" sound that made my scalp tingle—it came from the iron door on my right hand.
I looked at the iron door on the right side with trepidation, and the sound of "rustling" became louder and louder, and it felt as if it was coming in the direction of the dissecting room. I didn't dare to breathe, and I stepped back while staring at the iron door.
At this moment, the iron door is like a gate to hell, and the sound of "rustling" inside is like the whispering of demons, and I am the object of their soul harvesting!
The sound of "rustling" got closer and closer, almost to the edge of the iron gate, and my heart seemed to jump to my throat, and I stood in the dissection room in a daze...... At this time, the iron door suddenly opened, and a figure jumped out of the iron door!
"Ahh
"Sister Xiaoyue!" Hearing Xiao Ruyue's familiar voice, I shouted desperately as if I had grasped a life-saving straw.
But Xiao Ruyue didn't run towards me, but quickly ran towards the iron bed in the center of the dissection room. Behind her, I finally saw the source of the "rustling" sound—a vast swarm of rats as far as the eye could see! and, worst of all, all of them the size of puppies!
I cursed in my heart: This rat grew up eating fertilizer, and at the same time, I ran in the direction of the dissecting table.
Xiao Ruyue and I jumped onto the dissection table almost at the same time, and the next moment, the "rat tide" had already flooded the floor of the entire dissection room......
Looking at the dense rats underground, my stomach churned, and I hurriedly asked Xiao Ruyue, "What's going on?"
Xiao Ruyue's appearance was also a little embarrassed, and she said hurriedly: "I don't know what's going on, I was going to the small animal laboratory in the back to explore, as soon as I entered the door, I heard a lot of rustling sounds, and then this group of rats came out one by one, I felt that the situation was wrong, so I ran desperately from a passage in the laboratory, and I ran here!"
After listening to her words, I felt that things might be more than that, but at this time I didn't have time to ask anything in detail, and the top priority was how to get out of this "rat's nest".
While we were talking, there were more and more mice in the dissection room, and even a few mice crawled towards the dissecting table with other mice!
I desperately retreated, but when I saw Xiao Ruyue calmly walking to the side of the dissecting bed, I kicked the rats that climbed up into the "rat tide" below.
Xiao Ruyue hurriedly shouted at me while dealing with the rats that climbed up: "What should we do? There are more and more rats, let's get out of here quickly!"
"Wait for me to think about it!" I felt to Xiao Ruyue, I tried my best to calm myself down, but my legs kept shaking like chaff. I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, a layer of cold sweat oozed from my forehead, and my brain was desperately searching for a way to get out of here - by the way, the map!
I quickly took out the map from my pocket and hurriedly opened it to determine where we are.
As I looked at the map, I was drawn to the large blank space on the map—the empty space overlapping the underside of the dissecting room, without any markings.
Just when I was wondering, suddenly my feet were empty, and the weightlessness immediately swallowed me-"Ahh......h
The weightlessness lasted less than a second, and we fell heavily to the ground.
I felt like the bones in my whole body were about to break, and I was grunting in pain.
Although Xiao Ruyue is not much better, she is much better than me. While rubbing his arms with bared teeth, he stood up tremblingly.
When she stood up, she found me still lying on the ground, so she quickly ran to me and squatted beside me, pressing various positions on my body while asking me about my condition.
After she examined me closely, she was relieved to see that I was fine, and helped me up, at which point I felt a piercing pain in my ankle.
"Oops!" I screamed in pain, and Xiao Ruyue hurriedly looked at my ankle - my entire ankle was swollen with a bag the size of a child's fist!
"Don't move, sit down!" Xiao Ruyue hurriedly helped me down, carefully examined my ankle, I endured the pain, and said, "What's the situation, is it a broken foot?"
Xiao Ruyue said with a pale face: "It's much more serious than a broken foot, it looks like it's dislocated." ”
"Huh?" I exclaimed, my body moved involuntarily, and my ankle felt like it had been pricked by thousands of needles, and I screamed in pain.
