DAY 120 Underworld 2.0
"Maybe there are a lot of traps, so don't get too happy." I pouted and poured cold water on him.
He looked indifferent, and continued to ask me while stepping down cautiously, "Anyway, how could my sister actually guess that there is such a thing down here?" So talented, were you so talented? "By the way, I also slapped a sycophant.
"Your sister, I've always been so smart, okay!" Naturally, I grabbed the gold and put it on my face, "Because I thought that why this coffin must be dropped to such a narrow place at the bottom, I felt that it was not only to hide this coffin, but also to prevent others from discovering the thickness of the coffin, so as to find out what the bottom of the coffin felt, so I guessed that there must be some handle here that can open the bottom part of this coffin." As a result, I found the handle, but I didn't expect that it was not as simple as hiding something underneath, it was actually to hide this underground passage - I guess in fact, the setting of this coffin is a reminder sign that guides people who can discover the secret of this coffin to discover this underground passage. ”
"Especially the 'scalps' that were deliberately cut open and scattered on the top part of the coffin, I followed that line of thought before, and wondered if this setting was deliberately done to cover the handles? Only...... I reached out to confirm it, and it turned out to be exactly what I thought it was - but it's really disgusting, that feeling is super disgusting, your sister and I really made a huge sacrifice. "I can't help but retch when I think of the touch, and I can't stop the cold feeling even through the antibacterial suit.
No, it should be said that it is fortunate that it is through the antibacterial suit. Otherwise, I'm definitely going to chop off my hands now, it's really disgusting.
At this time, my brother was already standing beside me steadily: "...... This sacrifice is really great, sister, I am impressed with you again. No wonder you just refused to tell me what you were going down for, and you didn't want me to do it for you...... Sister, you really still love me! As he spoke, he made a mischievous face at me while making a flying kiss motion.
I gave him a wide roll of the eyes, and by the way helped him and myself untie the rope from our waist and tie it to the wrist of the corpse that we were holding down under the coffin and was now stepping on under our feet, so that in case someone suddenly broke into the cave and accidentally pulled away our rope: "Say it like it's true." Okay, stop the ink, follow me. Why do we keep delaying time? He said. Be the first to step on the stairs below the coffin.
The stairs were a little slippery because of the moss, so I reminded my brother to be careful with his steps and went down with a flashlight.
"Sister, be careful." The younger brother reminded as he followed.
"Got it. Look at your feet. If you slip and fall, don't pull me up. "I'm always focused on everything that might pop up in front of me.
However. Once again, what appeared ahead of me broke through my imagination.
The staircase is truncated, and the only remaining steps suddenly rise at the end, becoming an arrangement in the shape of a "√" when viewed from the side. On the opposite side was a solid gray wall. It is crawling with unknown plants. The lowest part of the staircase in the middle of the "√" shape is soaked in somewhat murky water, and there are no other branch junctions around it.
"In the secret passage under the former town hall, I wish there were fewer branch crossings, but now I realize that I really don't know how to cherish it at that time - I won't even give me a single one here." I couldn't help but complain.
"Sister, what's wrong with the front?" My brother poked his head out behind me, and when he saw the situation in front of me, he couldn't help but sigh, "...... Ever since we entered this secret passage, we have been really surprised by the 'surprises'. ”
"yes, I feel like I'm being played with all the time." I shrugged my shoulders and walked over to the soaked staircase, "Say, is there any passage underground?" ”
"Wouldn't it? So perverted? My brother came over too.
"Do you think the person who designed this secret passage is not so perverted enough?" I put my hand into the water and stirred, "It's so muddy, I guess I deliberately covered it with this water so that we can't see what's underneath - but now that I'm touching it with my hand, it feels like there's no bottom underneath...... Does this mean that only when we dive down can we discover what is underneath? ”
"But it also means that there could be something down there, other than another secret walkway or some valuable new discovery, there could be something dangerous, like a piranha or some dangerous whirlpool, you can't just dive in." The younger brother immediately stopped, "You also know how perverted the designers of this cemetery are. ”
I immediately remembered that I had been in a similar situation with Ono in the secret passage of the former city hall. At that time, I didn't even think about it, and I didn't even wear this antibacterial suit on my body now, so I went straight down. Now when I hear my brother say this, I feel that the behavior at that time was really dangerous...... I think it was my reckless behavior at that time that caused Ono to be kidnapped, right?
Maybe I shouldn't have behaved as thoughtlessly as I did in the first place, and maybe I should have been a little more cautious this time.
Although I don't think anyone would really go out of their way to put piranhas in this kind of place.
"Okay, but there's no road ahead, what should I do?" I spread my hands in compromise.
"Maybe it's just that there's no way out, get out of the way and let me take a look." My brother said, squeezing past me with difficulty, and then kicked over the muddy "puddle".
The staircase on the other side of the puddle has only one step, and only one person can step on it. I could only stand helplessly at the end of the "puddle" and keep sticking my head out to see what my brother was doing over there.
"Sister, there doesn't seem to be any mechanism here...... I pushed hard to see if I could push it away. With that, the younger brother wanted to take a step back and push the wall.
"Wait, be careful! There's a hole in the water behind you, so why don't you take a step over here and borrow it. With that, I went up a few steps back to make way.
"No...... It's too far away, it's hard to borrow strength......" The younger brother tried, but failed because the "puddle" occupied a relatively long distance, "but it's hard to use force without stepping on something, especially if it's such a heavy wall, it's impossible to push it away......" He scratched his head and looked overwhelmed. (To be continued.) )
