The light is dim, the space is small, there is no wind, no water, no sound, it is like a corner forgotten by the world, and there is a sense of unreality in the quiet. Normally, in the middle of the night, we can already feel extraordinarily quiet, but even in that situation, the whispering of insects in the grass in the distance, the sound of the wind under the night, and the swaying of the grass and trees can bring the wonderful music of nature, and people can listen to the background music of this world, and unconsciously let you indulge in the beautiful night.

But everything in front of him, even his own breath was so clearly audible, it was really lonely enough to make people go crazy.

Shen Tong was sitting on the ground at the moment, panting in his mouth, his eyes were a little sluggish, in just a long time, he was really crazy enough to toss in this small room, except for digging three feet into the ground, I am afraid that he has tried any tricks, and even his fist has smashed countless times on the wall and the ground. Then he reluctantly found that there were really no mechanisms and secret compartments, and there was no passage to leave here, at least he was sure that there was really no hidden passage that had not been discovered, every inch of the room had been struck by his fist, and the sound was completely different, this was simply a prison cell.

No, to be exact, it's worse than a prison cell!

Even if it's a prison cell, it needs to have a window to breathe in and a toilet for people's convenience! Some cells even have TVs for people to watch news broadcasts or something, but what the hell is in this place?

There was nothing but the two cabinets in the corner. And those two cabinets, he had also looked through them more than once, and even the wall behind the cabinets he had hammered and kicked over, however, as in other places, there was no difference at all. As for the small bottles on the top of the cabinet, there are some flashes of light at the mouth of the bottle, which is quite eye-catching, especially in today's dim light, this kind of shining thing is really special. But it also made him dare not move at will, for fear that there was something terrible in it, and something terrible would happen once it was broken.

However, there is no doubt that the bottles are obviously not helpful to get out of here, after all, such a small bottle is broken, and the thin porcelain piece does not leave any mark on the hard wall.

And the books that made him have high hopes were even more disappointing.

The only thing that could make him feel a little fortunate was that two of the books marked with the three characters of "Gathering Spirits" and "Returning to the Gods" were in simple fonts, which seemed to be made of unknown animal skins, and the characters on them were all ancient texts, barely legible, but extremely obscure. Obviously, a single word seems to be recognized, but when it is connected, it doesn't understand what it means, Shen Tong couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was poor in school and had no food to eat, so naturally he didn't have too much thought to do in-depth research on learning.

But these two books are called "Gathering Spirits" and "Returning to the Gods", and they don't look like any methods for leaving here, judging from some simple images marked above, they look like some secret tips for practicing martial arts. But in the current situation, it is possible to starve to death and die of thirst here at any time, who has the heart to ponder this thing? Besides, what kind of society is it now? This is the society of the 21 st century, what is the use of the function of training martial arts? No matter how powerful it is, it can be more powerful than a bullet? Sharper than a cannonball?

Almost just by glancing at it, Shen Tong threw the thing aside and continued to think hard about how to get out of here.

However, as time went on, he gradually realized that something was wrong.

Just like what he thought before, there is not even a window here, there is not even a hole, it stands to reason that this small dark room, after he tossed for so long, the oxygen has long been exhausted, but until now, he has not suffocated to death, this is obviously unscientific. With his knowledge and understanding, there must be some hidden exhaust holes here that allow air to enter. But with his professional analysis and judgment, as well as the meticulous examination before, he found nothing, which is really incomprehensible.

Now, he thought of a few more practical questions. What if you want to go to the toilet in such a small place?

Fortunately, such a terrible thing did not happen, he did not have any such thoughts, and he did not know if it was because he was too nervous, or because he had not eaten at all and had no stock in his stomach. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be stunned, because he suddenly remembered that he had been tossing for so long, and he had been for several hours, and he had not eaten a single grain, but now he didn't feel hungry at all except for being a little tired, what was going on?

Is this really a ghost? Is this really the underworld?

Shen Tong couldn't help but tremble in his heart, but he quickly settled down, he reached out and touched his chest, there was a burst of warmth in his palm, and his heart was beating strongly. I haven't heard that dead people still have temperature, and dead people still have heartbeats! But if it weren't for the underworld, how could a big living person not eat, drink, and not be hungry? This is completely unreasonable, but there are too many things that do not conform to common sense in the current situation.

Although he didn't feel hungry or thirsty, after such a long time of tossing, a sense of sleepiness came to his heart, which also made him a little mentally weak.

Shen Tong obviously knew the meaning of time, but he had a strong confidence in his inspection actions before, and he definitely didn't let go of any clues. In such a situation, no matter how tired you are, it seems that there is no point in fighting, and in such a situation, it is better to break the jar and break it, and rest first. Forcing himself to smooth out the waves in his heart, Shen Tong lay down on the ground and fell asleep like this.

In this small chamber, time seems to have lost its meaning, and nothing has changed at all.

When Shen Tong woke up leisurely, facing this room that had not changed, he couldn't help but feel a little distracted, and a sense of helplessness surged in his heart. However, the days have to be passed, and life has to be tossed.

At this time, Shen Tong finally determined that he didn't know about thirst and hunger at all now, after staying here for so long, he didn't feel like this at all, after sleeping for a while, he was alive again in the blink of an eye, this kind of thing beyond common sense was indeed a little incomprehensible, but it did happen to him. Of course, compared to the huge changes in the skin of his body at the moment, coming to this ghost place inexplicably, these things don't seem to be something difficult to accept.

In the following days, Shen Tong repeated this cycle, he kept looking for places that might have been missed, and kept thinking of ways to get out of here, but he was busy again and again, in exchange for disappointment again and again, and the final result was that there was no change, and when he felt exhausted, he fell asleep deeply, and when he woke up, he started the previous cycle again.

If it were someone else, I am afraid that I would have chosen to give up a long time ago, and I would have chosen to be depressed.

But Shen Tong's tenacious perseverance and longing for his wife made him never give up the idea of leaving here, although these days, he has realized that he may never be able to get out again, but he still mustered up the courage in his heart and kept trying. It's just that as time goes by, he moves less and less, and has more and more time to think, and after discovering that brute force can't solve the current problem, he begins to think about all kinds of possibilities.

The first question is, since there is no way out here, how did he get here?

Obviously, if he can come here with such a big body, there must be a place to enter and exit, and not finding it does not mean that there is none, this is for sure.

The second question is, what is the purpose of the existence of this house?

Is it a prison? Is it a cage? I'm afraid not, if it's a place like this, there shouldn't be books and jars of stuff. He has worked as a thug in a security company, and naturally he has also been in detention centers and other places, and places like detention centers have nothing but latrines. The purpose of putting people in a detention center is to restrict people's freedom through such an environment, to make you reflect on your mistakes, and to prepare books for you?

The biggest possibility is that this should be a place with a special role, and I may have stumbled here by mistake, so I was trapped here and couldn't move. Maybe the opening of this secret room needs to be controlled from the outside, and there is no way to do it inside?

It's just that, no matter what the possibility is, judging from the many temptations he has made before, it seems impossible to get out of here. In this case, it seems that no effect can be achieved if we continue to be busy like this, so it is better to think about it, what to do next? In such a situation where you don't need to eat or drink, you don't need to laze, and you only need to sleep when you're tired, time seems to be extraordinarily rich. And in this kind of situation where the heavens should not be and the earth is not spiritual, it is obviously more able to make people concentrate.

Finally, when Shen Tong was sure that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't help but pick up the book of "Gathering Spirits" made of animal skins, and began to ponder the meaning word by word. This can be regarded as an instinctive move in desperation, and it seems to be a good thing to have something to pass the time at this time, so that he does not have to face the cruel reality in front of him.

It's just that those ancient texts are too profound, even if Shen Tong has enough patience and seriousness, he still can't help but fall into contemplation from time to time, thinking hard about the meaning of every word.

And in this case, time also passed unconsciously, time passed like flowing water, and unconsciously, Shen Tong had been in this secret room for a whole year.
