Chapter 1283: A rocking chair that rocks on its own
After sitting for a while, Shi Lei thought about walking around the castle alone to see if it was possible to find the secret passage.
The room he was in was, after all, on the second floor, and it was obviously unlikely that the secret passage would appear on the second floor. He had also carefully observed the height of the castle before, and between the first and second floors, there was basically no possibility of a mezzanine.
It's late at night, Andre must have slept, and the servants in the castle have already slept, but I don't know if there will be guards on duty in this castle with Andre's identity.
Opening the door, Shi Lei walked down the stairs lightly.
In the castle, there are dim night lights at every corner, which makes Shi Lei's movement much easier.
It was very quiet in all directions, and Shi Lei soon found out that there were indeed guards on duty, a total of four people, but they were all outside the castle, and the inside of the castle was absolutely quiet.
Probably this is Andrei's arrangement, he doesn't like to sleep when there are other people walking around in the castle, which also provides further convenience for Shi Lei's actions.
Shi Lei searched almost every room inside the castle, but he couldn't find anything special.
The time quietly pointed to more than three o'clock in the middle of the night, Shi Lei sighed, it seemed that it was difficult to find anything again, he could only go back to the second floor along the stairs and enter the room that Andre had arranged for him.
Poured himself a glass of water, and Shi Lei sat on a rocking chair in the room and drank it.
The rocking chair shook slightly, Shi Lei also felt very comfortable, plus he drank a lot of wine at night, and searched alone in the castle for more than two hours, he was really tired, Shi Lei actually fell asleep on the rocking chair.
The rocking chair shook gently and rhythmically, and Shi Lei slept on such a chair, which was very comfortable, even more comfortable than him sleeping on the bed.
I don't know how long I slept, Shi Lei was awakened by urine, he opened his eyes, looked out the window, it was still dark, and got up and walked to the bathroom.
When he returned, he wanted to go back to bed, but because of his thirst, he sat back in the rocking chair, drank water, and the rocking chair began to shake rhythmically again.
After drinking the water, Shi Lei stood up, shook the rocking chair twice, and stopped.
But Shi Lei walked to the side of the bed, but suddenly realized that something was wrong......
When he got up from the rocking chair just now, the rocking chair was still shaking, but when he came back from the bathroom, the rocking chair stopped shaking.
This means that if no one shakes the rocking chair, the rocking chair will be completely static in two or three minutes at most, but why, when Shi Lei woke up from a sleep in the rocking chair, the rocking chair was still shaking?
He immediately raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and the time was already pointing to 5:05 in the morning.
And when Shi Lei was lying on the rocking chair, it was definitely less than half past three.
This rocking chair seems a little weird.
Shi Lei immediately walked back to the rocking chair, sat down again, his body shook back and forth slightly, and the rocking chair began to shake rhythmically again.
Lying on the rocking chair, Shi Lei tried his best to maintain the balance of his body and did not exert any force.
However, the rocking chair kept shaking, and each time, the frequency and rhythm of the previous shaking were almost exactly the same, and there was no intention of stopping at all.
It's funny that this rocking chair can shake on its own......
Shi Lei frowned slightly.
He continued to lie in the rocking chair, trying to test how long it would go.
Five minutes passed quickly, then ten minutes, and the rocking chair was still shaking.
Shi Lei finally confirmed that this rocking chair is quirky.
He stood up and looked at the rocking chair, which slowly stopped and finally calmed down.
Grabbing the armrests on both sides of the rocking chair, Shi Lei easily moved the rocking chair, which made him feel very surprised, originally, he thought that this rocking chair was fixed in this position, and there must be a mechanism underneath, and some kind of transmission device was made, so that when someone was lying on the rocking chair, the rocking chair would always maintain a slow rhythm but smooth shaking.
However, the rocking chair was easily removed, which seems to indicate that there is no mechanism under the rocking chair.
Shi Lei lay on the rocking chair again and shook it gently.
This time, however, the rocking chair only shook for a little more than a minute before it stopped on its own.
"Hey, stopped?" Shi Lei was surprised.
He shook his rocking chair again, and like the previous one, it shook for more than a minute, then stopped again.
Shi Lei stood up, and with his memory, put the rocking chair back to where it was just now.
He lay down in the rocking chair and continued to shake it.
Five minutes passed quickly, and the rocking chair was still shaking.
Outside the window, there was a slight hint of fish belly white, the sky was about to dawn, and Shi Lei seemed to have finally discovered a certain secret.
He moved his rocking chair out of the way and began to study the floor beneath it.
The floor is tightly fitted, although it is wood, but it has done a pretty good anti-corrosion treatment, however, Shi Lei also saw that this floor was definitely re-laid in recent years, and it could never be the floor of two or three hundred years ago.
Squatting on the ground, Shi Lei gently knocked on the floor, and the sound of the knock was no different from the normal floor.
Shi Lei tapped the floor next to him again, and the floor made the same sound.
After changing several places in a row, the sound from the floor is the same, and there doesn't seem to be any hollowness below.
However, there are more tapping positions, and Shi Lei's hearing is far beyond ordinary people, and he still found some differences.
This difference is very subtle, but even such a subtle difference makes Shi Lei completely sure that there must be some kind of secret hidden under this floor.
After thinking about it, Shi Lei moved a bedside table and pressed it on the floor where the rocking chair was originally placed.
Then, he sat down in a rocking chair and shook it gently.
As a result, nothing changed, and the rocking chair quickly stopped shaking.
Is it not enough weight?
Shi Lei found two more chairs, the chairs were stacked on top of each other and placed on the bedside table, and Shi Lei stretched out his hand to shake the rocking chair.
This time, the rocking chair shook for a noticeable increase in time, and although it still stopped, it survived three minutes.
Gather a bunch of furnishings from the room, press them all on the bedside table, and continue to add weight to that piece of floor.
The rocking chair was shaken again, and this time, the rocking chair held on for five minutes......
Shi Lei thoroughly confirmed that there was definitely something wrong with this floor.
There seems to be some kind of weight-based gearing down there, I don't know if it changes the magnetic field in the room, or some other reason, but in short, this gearing keeps the rocking chair rocking for longer.
Shi Lei grabbed the rocking chair with one hand and lifted it up, and he found that the material of the rocking chair looked the same wood as the two chairs, as well as the bedside table, and even the bed frame in the room. But it seems that the weight of this rocking chair is extraordinarily heavy, and it seems to be much denser.
There was a small wooden mallet on the table, Shi Lei gently knocked on the chaise longue, and the sound of the chaise longue was obviously not exactly the same as the sound of other furniture in the room.
Shi Lei smiled, this is where the organ is.
There is a potential connection between the recliner and the mechanism in the room, and if you want to open the mechanism in this room, you must need the cooperation of this recliner.
Looking at the sky, there was still a while before the big light, Shi Lei immediately left this room, quickly went down the stairs, found the location downstairs of the room where he lived, and began to study the ceiling on the first floor.
However, after observing for a long time, Shi Lei did not find anything special about the ceiling downstairs, and judging from the spacing between the two floors, it is unlikely that there is any mechanism hidden in it.
Shi Lei was puzzled.
Back upstairs, Shi Lei suddenly realized something.
