Chapter 44: The Secret Path
Jiang Shaowen looked at the deep dark passage, took a deep breath, and took out the eyes of the hell bear.
"I'll go down first, remember to sentry me."
After that, Jiang Shaowen once again turned his gaze to the claustrophobic dark passage, from Jiang Shaowen's current perspective, he couldn't see the bottom at all, Jiang Shaowen was no different from a normal person in other aspects except for his brain (Qingqi), and he would also have a sense of fear of the unknown.
But there was no way, he took another deep breath.
Walk.
Just as Jiang Shaowen slowly descended three steps, Hongdou suddenly said, "Wait a minute." ”
"What?"
"If you go down, even if I give you a sentry, you won't be able to get out of here, it's so difficult to stay in there all the time?"
"Don't worry, I can bet that there won't be only one exit for this secret passage in order to consider the ventilation factor, you just need to close the bookcase for me when I go down."
After instructing Hongdou Jiang Shaowen to go down without looking back, with the sound of 'click' from behind, the bookcase was closed.
The powerful light source of the dark path was gone, and only the ball of light in Jiang Shaowen's hand remained.
The wall of the dark passage is inclined inward, which causes a sense of oppression, and in order to save space, the difference between each step of the dark passage is at least thirty centimeters or more, and in some places it even reaches forty centimeters, and the width of the steps is only fifteen centimeters.
Crowded, cramped, oppressive, claustrophobic, lonely, and the fear of the unknown surrounded Jiang Shaowen in an instant.
Jiang Shaowen is now open and two effects all the time, but he still doesn't dare to go down with his hands on the wall, he is afraid that there will be a trap mechanism that he has not noticed.
"This secret realm was obviously created to torment the player."
Jiang Shaowen came to think of saying something to relieve his tense nerves, but the echoing voice aggravated his fear, everyone has claustrophobia, it is nothing more than someone who is so serious that he can't turn off the light to sleep at night, and someone who faces the long dark corridor but just goosebumps.
Fortunately, the steps were too high and at the same time, the number of steps needed was reduced, and there were only about thirty steps in this dark passage, and Jiang Shaowen soon reached the bottom.
With a long sigh of relief, Jiang Shaowen turned around and looked up, still unable to see the end, but this time it was a bookcase.
Relying on the red light, Jiang Shaowen saw the end of the dark passage: a hut.
He closed his eyes, took out his spear and put it against the door, and slowly pushed the door open.
Jiang Shaowen held his breath, he didn't know if there were any guards in the room, so he could only act carefully.
After waiting for four or five minutes to make sure that there was no sound inside, Jiang Shaowen took out his eyes again and walked in sideways through the crack in the door.
If you want to describe the shape of this room, Jiang Shaowen will definitely choose an Erlenmeyer flask, that's right.
There are two doors in the room, one is the one that Jiang Shaowen opened just now, and the other is the one that Jiang Shaowen is directly opposite it, and it is the other exit.
The people who build the tunnels and houses must be masters of the sense of oppression.
"This house was built, how uncomfortable it was." Jiang Shaowen gave the final evaluation.
Although there was a book on the table, it didn't attract Jiang Shaowen's attention at all, but the silver cage became the first target to check.
"Hair?"
Jiang Shaowen stared at the long hair in his hand, according to the effect, it was definitely left by the woman, in addition to this, Jiang Shaowen also found several bloody footprints, most of which were only on the heels.
"It's gone, it's gone." Jiang Shaowen sent the situation here to Hongdou above, of course, not to listen to her advice, but just to relieve her boredom.
Turning the page, Jiang Shaowen turned it very casually, because only in this way could it be possible to turn to the page that the owner of the book often reads.
Sure enough, what caught his eye was a portrait of a woman, but what made Jiang Shaowen different was that the painting technique of the portrait turned out to be a Chinese painting, a Chinese national painting.
But it's not surprising to think about it, after all, there are even paper books in China.
There is a piece of parchment sandwiched between the books, which is a popular item in this society nowadays.
"The first time I saw her, when I was leading a patrol, I was very different, she was actually eating children, although there was only a small foot left, but I confirmed that she was eating children."
"She's so pretty, she's got black hair, she's dressed in red, she doesn't look local, in fact I've never seen anyone of her skin color."
"I don't know if I should judge her or not, but it turns out that I'm feeding her, providing ...... Child. ”
"I'm guilty too."
"She had always carried a stone talisman with her, but it looked like it was broken, and it should have been half left, and it turned out that I was right, and I got two books from the fleet of ships that had gone on a long voyage, and there was a record of an ancient and prosperous eastern country, on which I found the complete stone talisman."
"I was found out, I thought my father would shelter me, but he didn't, for her sake and for me, I killed him."
"I can't sleep lately, she ran away, she ran once before, and this is the second time."
"I got the news, I'll go to her."
It is certain that the last sentence was written recently, which would explain why Orlant sent a team to the village of Iva .
After the two books were confirmed repeatedly, Jiang Shaowen put the book back in place again.
Jiang Shaowen looked around, and after making sure that there was no omission, he returned to the secret passage.
This time it was much easier than when it came down, but in a minute, Jiang Shaowen climbed to the door.
I sent an email to Red Bean and waited for a while.
Click.
As the sound of machinery sounded again, the sunlight shone into the dark passage, Jiang Shaowen raised his hand to block the sunlight, and took a big breath of fresh air.
"How?" Azuki asked eagerly.
"Close the door of the secret passage first." Jiang Shaowen pointed to the bookcase and sat on the sofa, looking like he hadn't walked much, but in such a hypoxic state, Jiang Shaowen's lactic acid produced by exercise was not rapidly oxidized, causing him to be sore now, plus it was always open and the two effects, causing Jiang Shaowen's mental power to drop sharply.
Red Bean closed the bookcase: "Then what to do next?" ”
"Take me back to my room first, this time the amount of information is huge, and when I recover, I will take out my findings and analysis and let's have a small meeting."
"Okay."
