073 The fine line between success and failure

Bai Ze, who took the note, didn't need lighting at all, he only needed to look at the moonlight and read the handwriting on it clearly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

First of all, he found that the writer of this notebook has a very brilliant hard pen calligraphy skills, and although the pages have been yellowed, but fortunately, it is well preserved and there is no aging, damage or blurred handwriting, and then he realized that this note seems to be a high school student's diary, and the front is some daily life records, occasionally mixed with some memo records about exams and school arrangements, judging from the age recorded on it, It was the era when the original founders of the Dark Arts Seminar were active.

But soon he found the main reason why Ge Qingyun brought this note here - in this notebook, he intermittently recorded the record of the incident that caused the school to suspend classes and even change the teaching building as a bystander, and the specific content was not mentioned, after all, Bai Ze also skimmed it at a glance and did not look at it carefully, and the owner of the note did not seem to have an in-depth understanding of the essence of the incident at the beginning, but only gave a general introduction to the school's reaction, many rumors circulating in the school, and some of the current events that I learned from the news reports that obviously did not touch the truth - but compared to the people who have no way of knowing what happened at that time, this can already be called "first-hand facts", and most importantly, in this note, some parts of this note are highlighted by Xia Wanying with red lines, and there are many small notes pasted next to them to write some information excerpted from other places to compare and contrast with each other.

By sorting out this part of the highlighted information, Bai Ze quickly found the drama part of it - through this note, Ge Qingyun and the others seemed to deduce the core location of the original incident, and also found that it seemed that even when the school was locked down for several months and even the police were involved, no one had really found the fact that no one had really found that place, which made the value of exploring that place instantly greatly increased, not to mention that they seemed to have really found the key to opening that "secret room"!

“…… The 'secret room' that no one knew was there and no one could enter it, and it was the root cause of the evaporation of many students in the past, and this key was the key to unlocking it! ”

While Bai Ze was looking at the notes, Ge Qingyun also casually added an explanation on the side, and even took out the map that he had shown everyone at the beginning at the end, and drew a few large circles with a red pen at the location of the club activity building.

"According to our research and discussion, that place should be located in the basement part of this building, especially the fire door leading to the second basement floor is always locked with a big lock to prevent people from entering, I think there is definitely some unknown secret hidden in it, and it is even possible that those people have found the entrance to the secret room, but the difference is that there is no way to enter it, and the purpose of this time is to see what that place is like, and trying to find mechanisms and secrets that those people couldn't discover. ”

So, after Ge Qingyun finally gave an open and honest explanation, he headed towards the basement of the building under the leadership of Qu Lingyun.

The basement of the club building is basically unused, and it has always been a large warehouse used by various clubs to place sundries, not only the few rooms have long been filled with all kinds of large furniture and all kinds of books and props that no one wants, but even the corridors are filled with large and small boxes and garbage bags, fortunately, there are cleaning staff every other week to clean up, but it still maintains a general cleanliness.

The door to the second basement floor was located in the depths of an inconspicuous corner on this floor, if it wasn't for someone to carry it, Bai Ze would almost have ignored it.

And after using the big brass key handed over by Ge Qingyun to open the big lock that had been locked for an unknown number of years, the door to the underground finally opened at this moment - Bai Ze now knows why he deliberately chose to come over the night before the weekend, although the sound is not too loud, but it is too harsh, if someone is there, they will definitely be attracted to it, and at this moment, there is only a group of members of the computer club in the building, and they have all been notified in advance, so there is no need to worry about causing any unnecessary commotion.

The flashlight prepared before finally really worked at this moment, and as Ge Qingyun took the lead in taking out the flashlight, Bai Ze and the others immediately turned it on and shone it around, and a unique atmosphere of secret adventure suddenly emerged.

It was pitch black here, and even the light bulbs had never been replaced—just when Bai Ze was thinking about the true purpose of Ge Qingyun's instructions to bring flashlights, he saw Qu Lingyun, who was walking beside him, stretched out his hand and pressed it somewhere on the wall, and then the lights on the top of the entire descending staircase suddenly brightened.

“………………”

Everyone was speechless for a while, and the light of the flashlight in their hands was almost invisible under the illumination of the fluorescent lamp overhead, and seeing Qu Lingyun's inexplicable innocent expression under everyone's gaze, everyone's sense of powerlessness intensified.

And at this moment, everyone also found that this passage is surprisingly clean, the dust on the ground accumulates very little and even difficult to detect, it seems that people often come to clean up, so there is not much opinion on the good lighting, when the group goes down to the second basement floor, they find that the ventilation here is also very good, although it is a bit dull, but the dust and earth smell is not big, it seems that the central air-conditioning system here is also operating normally - so far, the atmosphere of night adventure is basically gone.

The rooms here are basically empty, and they don't seem to have been renovated in the later period, and they still retain the appearance of the past, all kinds of heavy fire doors abound, and the dust in the house accumulates a lot, which finally brings a rare sense of adventure.

Since all the rooms were empty, it didn't take much time to inspect them, and soon the scattered crowd gathered together and stood together in front of one of the walls of the house in the deepest part of the corridor, and the reason why everyone was gathered here was that a gate had been painted with unknown paint on the wall - although the wall seemed to have been trimmed and painted, it stopped at a meter away from the perimeter of the painted gate. And there are still a lot of traces of excavation and destruction left around the gate, and it is difficult not to arouse the suspicion and concern of others.

"I think that's what you call the door to the 'Chamber of Secrets', and as you might have guessed, people in the past have already found it, but they just don't know how to get in."

Looking at this "door" that is simply presence, it is difficult for Bai Ze not to think of the magic door that leads to the "velvet room" in the world of his heart, so he sighed with a particularly subtle emotion.

It's just that his emotion, to the ears of those who don't know the secrets hidden in him, really has never been more spicy and sharp mockery than this bland word.

Xia Wanying, who had great "expectations" for this operation, was unwilling to spend nearly a month to find a group of people to study and investigate the results together, so she ended in a daze, eager to find something that could prove herself.

"This is definitely a legendary portal! Maybe you can just chant a certain spell to open the door, absolutely! ”

Xia Wanying, who is quite a bit of a home, has read all kinds of girl comics, light novels and online books, and instinctively feels that the painted door in front of her is really suspicious, but she has never seen a real magical girl in her life, but because she has no means to confirm her speculation, even if she keeps groping on the wall, and tries to trigger the reaction of this seemingly graffiti-like door in various ways, but there is no effect at all.

"I also think there's something wrong with this door, but it's really painted on the wall, but I think we can find out if there are any hidden secret doors or ......."

"It's useless, the school leaders even dug out the foundation of this building in order to find those students who disappeared in the school, but not to mention the secret room around, not even a passage was found, so I originally suspected that the secret room was located at the bottom of this building, or the building here artificially designed a secret room that could not be seen from the outside through spatial differences, but unfortunately, it has been confirmed that this secret room does not exist at this moment."

Ge Qingyun tentatively put forward his opinion, but he was immediately rejected by He Wenxuan, who had done a lot of investigation and research on this matter, and they had also confirmed that the ground here was a monolithic ground with concrete pouring, and even the floor tiles were not paved, so at a glance, they knew that there was no secret door leading to the bottom, not to mention the secret room, this kind of room layout that was lined up from both ends to the deepest part was absolutely impossible to have extra space to spare. So this speculation was not feasible from the start.

After helping as a friendship, Ge Qingyun, who felt that this was a good opportunity to gather and called his friends to act together, didn't feel much regret, after all, he felt from the beginning that even if there was a "secret room", it should have been dug up decades ago, since so many people did it together back then, and they didn't even dig three feet into the ground and didn't find it, then it was impossible for these middle school students who came here to just crack this secret, and because he didn't expect to find the secret room from the beginning, The reason why he made that mysterious appearance was just to cheer for the energetic Xia Wanying, so he was very calm at the moment, and he comforted the girl who was quite depressed and lost with He Wenxuan.

As for Qu Lingyun, who regarded this operation as a farce from the beginning, although she also frowned seriously and stared at the wall because of curiosity, but when she saw Xia Wanying inspecting the painting door, she accidentally scratched off some of the paint that painted the door with her fingernails, and the original slightly interested look suddenly faded, and it seemed that she really had no interest in these mysterious things - as for Xia Wanying's side at this moment, she had basically given up and stood aside listlessly, And Qu Lingyun also went over to comfort her at this moment.

As for Bai Ze, he has already discovered the surrounding environment through his spatial perception ability, so he can be sure that there is indeed no secret room in physical form here, even if it is five meters underground, there is not a trace of a secret passage or a shadow of a secret room, but this painted door does have a great trick - his ability to keenly capture the mysterious perception contained in the curvature of space, can perceive that this door is indeed a "magic portal", and it does have its special opening spell, But for Bai Ze, it's not that he can't enter without a spell, because this door is a "spatial gap (channel)" that has been constant and reinforced with spells, and the so-called spell is just to activate the magic arranged around to enlarge and strengthen this gap to an amplification/stabilizer that can accommodate ordinary people, and for Bai Ze, he can complete this step with his own strength, and all he needs is a stable "channel" like the one in front of him.

Even if he can directly open this passage now, but considering that everyone present, it seems that only he has really come into contact with magic, and has successfully changed his three views, and the other people seem to be just Ye Gong Haolong at the moment, if he really opens a space-time teleportation magic door in front of their eyes, the commotion and possible reactions caused by that time are likely to cause even greater chaos, not to mention that no one knows what the situation is in the "secret room" opposite this passage, If he really sealed some evil demons or curses, his seemingly helping them fulfill their wishes would actually kill them - so after thinking about it for a long time, Bai Ze decided not to explore this unknown spatial passage for the time being, and it was not too late to come back to explore it when he was ready to perfect himself in the future.

So, this night school adventure came to an end hastily, He Wenxuan returned to the activity room of the computer club, preparing to follow the seniors to their dormitory for a night after finishing the night, and the remaining few people left from the back mountain through the observation deck from the Inari Shrine, they broke up and said goodbye, but when they walked on the way home, Bai Ze and Qu Lingyun were alone again.
