Chapter 89: Western-style Pavilion (3)
It is a collection room, compared with the previous storage room, the decoration seems to be a lot more elegant, cloth wallpaper and solid wood flooring, the space is also much larger, rows of glass display cabinets, orderly placed all kinds of exquisite artworks, can be described as dazzling, including a variety of porcelain, crystal sculptures, vintage swords and so on......
Qianyu is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around to see everything full of curiosity around her, and at the same time constantly praise.
At the end, there is another European-style retro desk, and behind the leather seat there is a large floor-to-ceiling glass bookcase, in addition to antique books, there is a large square in the middle, also locked with a glass door, and on display inside is a golden antique musket, and there is a nameplate carved from a silver metal plate underneath, which is engraved with the English letters "RAGE" in capital letters.
Zhou Jialiang looked at the lock on the glass door, there was a small metal number scrolling disc on it, a total of 6 digits, this was obviously a combination lock, and then he tried to roll the string of numbers "489623" written on the piece of paper in the storage room to the correct position, "click", the lock was really opened, and he took off the antique gun inside and put it into the bracelet.
"Isn't it okay to just take someone else's stuff like that......?" Qianyu hesitated.
Zhou Jialiang didn't answer, he clicked the investigation button under the antique gun on the bracelet, which read:
Exquisite gold artefacts, one of the keys that open the door to hope.
At this time, Qianyu also leaned to the side and watched: "I actually used a gun as a key, I really don't know what this person thinks!" ”
"See, you can only get key items through the normal steps." Zhou Jialiang smiled confidently, and then he looked at the desk again, and under the dim lamp light, there was a yellowed and unfinished letter:
Dear Alyssa,
I heard that Starley City has suffered an unprecedented disaster, and now the whole city has been under martial law, I am very worried about your safety, the Phantom World Company threatened to do its best to quell this disaster, but I don't think so, that company is actually the devil, I know from Ram who works over there, in fact, this disaster is their masterpiece, so, if the Phantom World Company asks you to do something, you must not agree, I know that the nature of your work is very special, but in order to continue to survive, I still hope that you can find a way to evacuate as soon as possible, Come to me, at least this place is safe for the time being.
In addition, those Dobermans we kept in captivity seem to have become particularly irritable recently, because of my carelessness, and they have bitten me, fortunately I have been vaccinated in time, and there is no major problem at present, but the wrench I have been carrying in my hand has been lost because of this, I suspect that it was on the way back, but then I went back to look for it and couldn't find it, you know, that thing is very important, I remember you have a spare there, bring it with you when you come.
By the way, the altar you've been looking for
The content of the letter ended here, and the "wrench" and "altar" in it caused Zhou Jialiang to think deeply.
"Altar!?" Qian Yu lost her voice and said, "Could it be the Resurrection Altar!?" ”
"Probably, but he didn't continue to write, maybe something unexpected happened along the way." Zhou Jialiang continued, "However, the wrench mentioned in it may be an important prop, and the content described in the letter about Starley City is basically consistent with the record in the "Extinction of the World", but why is it written in Chinese?" The Elisa mentioned at the beginning of the letter is clearly a European and American name, and it stands to reason that it is generally impossible for the letter writer to write letters to Europeans and Americans Chinese at this time......
"Oh, why do you keep thinking about this, maybe this Alyssa is a Chinese English name at all?" Qian Yu rolled her eyes.
Zhou Jialiang smiled.
At this time, they received a message from the cannon:
A desiccated male corpse was found in the second-floor bedroom, carrying a copper key with a diamond-shaped blue gemstone.
Zhou Jialiang then replied:
I know, you take it first, and I also found a gold antique musket, which is also used as a key to lead to the door of hope.
"You think that corpse could be the one who wrote the letter?" Qian Yu muttered.
"It could be, but it could also be the butler." Zhou Jialiang observed the other exhibits in the glass cabinet around him, "No matter what, at present, we have two keys on us, and usually, the one they get from the cannon will be used first, so we have to help them find a place to use this key first." ”
"Well, speaking of diamond-shaped gems, I just saw a diamond-shaped mark on one of the doors outside that can't be opened...... "Qian Yu said with her fingertips against her chin.
"Are you sure!?"
"Of course."
"Alright, let's hurry over, and if that's the case, tell the cannons to come down." Zhou Jialiang excitedly pulled Qianyu and walked out of the door......
The two of them came to the door.
"This ......" Zhou Jialiang looked confused, "is the diamond pattern you ......?" ”
I saw that there was a huge diamond-shaped depression in the middle of the European-style carved wooden door, but it was only purely decorative carving, because the doors on both sides of the hall looked like this.
"yes, isn't this a diamond?" Qianyu was not convinced.
"Okay, I'm sorry for you." Zhou Jialiang was about to leave, but he seemed to suddenly find something, "Wait! It's ......"
Originally, his attention was focused on the relief above the door, and if he looked closely, three of the reliefs above the four doors on the left and right sides were the same, and the first one on the left was slightly special, although the main body was also a flower, but on the streamers on both sides, there were four figures that were different from other single dot-like embellishments, namely: heart, diamond, plum and spade, which were clearly the four suits on the playing cards, but here they were shown in relief.
"It seems that there are three other keys with different shapes of gems to be found......" Zhou Jialiang sighed, he clicked on the map, wanting to see what other places on the next floor they hadn't been, and then he pointed to a small door on the left side of the door, which corresponded to the door of the storage room before, "Let's go, let's go there and have a look." ”
It turns out that the door there has long been broken, there is an irregular hole in the middle, which seems to be caused by a huge destructive force, and there are still large dried blood stains left on the edge of the hole, showing a dark red, and then looking in from the hole, it is a narrow and dark corridor, the left side of the corridor is a door, the right side is a white floor-to-ceiling curtain, the miserable white moonlight shines through the window through those curtains on the ground paved with white floor tiles, the overall atmosphere looks very eerie......
