Chapter 51: Sci-Fi Escape Room?
"Squeak~."
With the sound of the wooden door opening, Zheng Ming stepped into the wooden house after Siscout.
A peculiar aroma of plants and trees came to the nose, sweet but not greasy, strong but not strong, just right.
Zheng Ming raised his eyes and looked around, and the first thing that caught his eye was a large cauldron in the center of the room. A large cauldron large enough to hold two people is placed on the grill, and the original brown skin is smoked all year round until it emits a black glow. Its round shape reminded Zheng Ming of the witch's voodoo cauldron in his previous film and television works.
The room was neither tidy nor cluttered. The various wooden furniture displayed in it is more elaborate than the other rooms, but it is also unusual.
Soon its view was drawn to the wooden bookshelf on the left side of the room. I saw that on the wooden frame, the square space that was divided into pieces was placed with scrolls made of various animal skins.
Zheng Ming stepped forward and casually picked up a piece of animal skin. When I spread it out, I found that I didn't recognize the crooked words on it.
"This is what you call the Inheritance Vault? What is written on this? ”
"The animal skins here are all written about some medicine and cultivation experiences. The true Legacy Chamber is down there. ”
Under Zheng Ming's puzzled gaze, Sikoute walked to a corner of the room and lifted the animal skins on the ground. I saw that he pressed and pushed, and the wooden plank under the animal skin suddenly sunk into it and was pushed under the surrounding wooden plank. A pitch-black and deep tunnel suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
"Please come with me, sir."
Seeing Siscoute raise the torch and take the lead down the stairs, Zheng Ming hesitated and then stepped to follow.
"Bang, bang."
There was silence in the dark tunnels, except for the sound of burning flames and the footsteps of the two. Through the firelight, Zheng Ming observed the surroundings and found that the four walls of this place were full of stones, and the traces of axes and chisels on them were obvious, which was obviously artificially built.
The air in the tunnel was slightly damp, but instead of the expected rancid smell, there was a faint aroma similar to that in the room. As you can see from the moss underfoot, it is frequented here.
After a period of steepness, the two entered a gentle section.
"How far is it?"
After walking for a while, Zheng Ming began to get a little impatient.
"Returning to my lordship, it's almost there."
"Where does this tunnel connect? Is there another exit? ”
"Nope. At the end of the tunnel is our destination. I reckon the place is in the ground outside the east of the village. We're halfway there. ”
The two walked silently for a while, Zheng Ming looked at the back walking in front of him and suddenly asked, "The fragrance here is wafting from the wooden house?" ”
Hearing Zheng Ming's slightly puzzled voice, Sikewut paused. He looked at Zheng Ming slightly sideways and smiled slightly.
The adult laughed. How could the aroma of the wooden house spread so far away? This is a liquid made by the priest during his lifetime. It's his crown. It has a purifying and refreshing effect. The aroma here must have been caused by the fact that the liquid he had sprinkled a few days ago had not yet dissipated. ”
The shadow on Sikout's face floated under the flickering firelight, and even the smile on his face became strange in Zheng Ming's eyes.
"Oh, it's kind of fragrant. It's kind of like the thing I've seen called perfume. ”
At this point, Zheng Ming closed his mouth, and when he saw that he was no longer talking, he turned around and walked forward again.
After a while, just when Zheng Ming was about to lose patience with the cookie-cutter scenes around him, the Siscoute in front of him paused, and a calm voice came from his mouth.
"Here we are."
Zheng Ming hurriedly looked in the direction he was pointing. Under the light of the torches, a black wall was faintly visible at the end of the road not far away.
"This is what you call the Inheritance Chamber."
"It's my lord. The villain had the privilege of accompanying the deceased priest once. ”
While speaking, the two of them had already walked in front of the black wall, and Zheng Ming carefully looked at the black wall in front of him.
The surface of the black wall is uneven, and it looks like metal has been liquefied and solidified. However, it does not have the reflective properties of metal, and under the close illumination of the fire, it does not even have the luster of the surrounding bare stones.
"Can I touch it?"
"Your Excellency, please feel free."
Seeing that Zheng Ming was not in a hurry to reach out and caress it, but stared at Sikoute quietly, he showed a sudden realization and took the lead in reaching out and touching the black wall. Only then did Zheng Ming reach out his hand.
Following the place where Sikowut had touched before, Zheng Ming gently groped for a while, and then touched his smooth chin and pondered.
The wall looks glossy but rough to the touch, and feels more like pebbles than metal. Its material is neither gold nor wood, Zheng Ming thought for a while and did not find an object of similar material in his memory.
"Is this the entrance?"
"Exactly. Please take a few steps back. ”
After hearing Siscoute's reminder, Zheng Ming took a few steps back. Zheng Ming had observed before, and the black wall in front of him and the surrounding stone walls were tightly fitted and seemed to be one. It wants to see how Cisco Ute opens this black wall and enters the so-called Inheritance Chamber.
For Zheng Ming's tightly locked eyes, Cisco Wut didn't care too much. He reached into his arms and pulled out a necklace.
It is said that the necklace is actually more like a wooden block made of straw rope. In the center of the wooden block is a black round object similar to the black wall in front of it.
"This is the old priest's, I have seen him open the door before. That's why I took it with me when I came. ”
After turning his head to relieve Zheng Ming's doubts, Sikewut carefully searched for the lower right corner of the black wall for a while, and then took a deep breath and pressed the necklace in his hand into a depression on the black wall.
After pressing the necklace into the black wall, Siscoute took several steps back one after another, standing beside Zheng Ming. At this time, his face was full of complex emotions such as pride, expectation, and regret.
"Alright. Then it's time to witness the miracles. ”
With the sigh of Ciscoute, the black wall in front of him suddenly shone brightly, and the silver flashing lines on it lit up one after another. The silver light in the lines of the three-point text in the seven-point circuit diagram spreads out to the surroundings at a rapid speed as the part where the necklace is inserted. From a distance, it looks like silver ripples scattered in all directions.
"Click, click, click, click."
Suddenly, with the sound of friction and rotation, the black wall suddenly divided into countless small pieces and moved rapidly. The silver light on it was split into rapid assemblies.
Under Zheng Ming's stunned gaze, it was divided into a black cube the size of a fingernail, moving and reorganizing at an extremely fast speed, and finally a passage appeared in the center of the black wall.
Streaks of silver light took the shape of a staircase, wrapping around the passage, sporadic eyes all around. A thin layer of black liquid doors obscures the entrance to the passage, making it difficult to see.
Looking at the strange scene in front of him, Zheng Ming was stunned. Is this really the Goblin Legacy Vault? That dirty and backward goblin who lives in a thatched hut like a pigsty?
"This is simply a black technology reproduction of science fiction movies."
Sikowut smiled at Zheng Ming, who was muttering to himself, and stepped forward to pull out the necklace that had not moved.
"Your Excellency. Well, am I right? The wonders of this place are miraculous. Let's go inside. ”
Just when Cisco Ute invited Zheng Ming with pride, a sudden change occurred!
I saw Zheng Ming suddenly half-kneeling on the ground, pointing at Sikoute with a face full of disbelief. A feeble, but angry voice came from his mouth.
"You! You actually poisoned ... ”
Sikoute looked at Zheng Ming, who was struggling to maintain his body and unwilling to fall to the ground, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I should have noticed it when I smelled it in the cabin."
As Zheng Ming's voice of remorse continued to come, the smile on Ciscout's face widened more and more.
