Chapter 7: Enter the Archives
Ten minutes have passed since I came in, and I still haven't found anything.
The inside of this domed house is actually not big, only about eighty square meters, Qin Ming has been looking very carefully, the dilapidated dark chairs, the wooden tables have long been weathered, and the broken crockpots can be said to be turned upside down, and nothing has been found, let alone the safe in the mouth of the old man Harris.
I had to clap my hands, pat off the sand particles on my hands, and frowned slightly.
"Could it be that the safe deposit box containing the prisoner's information was moved a hundred years ago?"
"No, since it's transferred, why would Old Man Harris swear that it still exists?"
"Could it be that there is some other secret passage?"
In a flash, Qin Ming's gaze swept back and forth into the room.
The scorching light poured in through the collapsed roof, forming specks of light, and the air was filled with sand and dust, clearly visible and flying all over the sky.
"Huh!"
Qin Ming's expression froze, and he suddenly found an empty old bookcase standing on a broken bookshelf, he hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now when he looked over, he found something strange.
Because the yellow sand can't fly into this bookcase.
Qin Ming walked over in front of him, came to this bookcase, and reached out and touched it.
Can't pick it up!
And there are extremely thin magic elements, and it is the existence of these elements that makes it impossible for sand and dust to fall on this book case.
"If the bookcase is really strange, then try to move!" he muttered in a whisper.
Do what you think.
So Qin Ming stretched out his hands and began to move the book case, it was really heavy, it was because of the existence of magic elements, but because it was too thin, it was able to move with brute force.
Click!
At a distance of three meters in front of it, a heavy sound was heard, and then a neat crack slowly opened, and the yellow sand stumbled into it.
There really is a secret way!
This kind of discovery made Qin Ming work harder, and after another minute of turning, the book case finally showed a 180-degree turn, and the underground passage was completely opened.
From the outside, it is a passage with milky white wall paint, and there seems to be no trace of damage in the passage, and there are countless stairs leading downward.
Qin Ming rubbed his hands that were a little red, his eyes showed a look of joy, swept away the slightly lost emotions before, and quickly walked into the passage.
And when he entered the passage, there was a light in the passage that suddenly flickered, sometimes on, sometimes dimmed.
Qin Ming was slightly stunned, only to find that the top of the original passage was equipped with old guiding lights, and it was these lights that were flickering and flickering.
"Tsk, it's so advanced, it's still automatic!"
He couldn't help but sigh in admiration, looking back and forth left and right with interest, and his footsteps did not stop, and walked straight in.
Stompe!
The sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor, obviously the passage was a little long, but after walking for two or three minutes, Qin Ming saw a white door on the left side of the passage, and a big "C" was written on the door number.
Obviously, all of the information stored here is C-class wanted criminals.
"The Red Refining Demon is an A-level prisoner, so he shouldn't be here!" Qin Ming looked at the door number, thought for a moment, and continued to walk towards the passage.
After walking for another two or three minutes, in Qin Ming's gaze, another gate appeared on the right side of the passage, this time showing a "B" word.
Qin Ming just glanced at it, then directly swept through this gate and continued down.
Finally, after five or six minutes of travel, the footsteps finally stopped, because in front of him was a silver-white gate with a big "A" on the door plate.
And here the passage has bottomed out, and there is no way forward, but when it is surprising, directly opposite this "A" door, there is actually an "S" door written on it.
Qin Ming was a little surprised, could it be that there were S-level wanted criminals in this prison city?
However, his current purpose was not to do so, so Qin Ming focused his attention on the front of the A-level gate.
He slowly stretched out his hand and touched it, and sure enough, there was also a magic element on this door, and it was a little troublesome to open it, but after a hundred years of erosion, its magic element became extremely thin.
He thought for a moment, suddenly smiled, took a step back, stretched out his palm, and said lightly: "Thousand illusions, heavy hammer!"
Suddenly, a dark iron hammer appeared in front of Qin Ming.
Qin Ming held the sledgehammer in both hands, waved it violently, and smashed it with the sound of breaking wind, smashing on this gate.
Bang!
Suddenly, the door was violently blasted open, and the door panel was blasted into it.
"Ahem!"
"It seems to have been pushed too hard!"
Smoke and dust were flying, Qin Ming hurriedly covered his mouth and coughed lightly a few times, and put away the silver hammer.
Looking ahead, I saw that there was not much space in the room, and there were several rows of metal shelves, on which some earthy yellow folders were stored sporadically, but there were only about a dozen of these folders.
Qin Ming walked into the room, walked towards the shelf, picked up a folder at random, and took out the documents inside.
"Levi, male, from the Erenal Empire!"
"Class A Wanted, extremely dangerous!"
"In the autumn of 1131 of the Isu Yuan Calendar, I stole a fourth-level magic crystal stone of the wind system worth 10 million bellas in Fanny City...
"Then set fire to the Orchid Building and escape!"
"In the year 1132 of the Isu calendar..."
"Dead!"
Qin Ming was also shocked when he read this information, this A-level wanted criminal, Levi, committed a crime that can be described as innumerable, but this is not the information he is looking for.
I had to put the documents away and continue to look for the next one.
"Maolilan, female, from the Republic of St. Don..."
"Conan Doyle, male, from the Autonomous Prefecture of Klor!"
"Mosaic, male, from the Kingdom of Barron...
“。。。 ”
Qin Ming flipped through them one by one, and finally when he reached the seventh folder, the target he was looking for finally appeared.
"Wright, male alchemist, belongs to unknown!"
"A-level wanted criminal, known as the Red Refining Demon, extremely dangerous!"
"What was committed, in the year 1127 of the Isu calendar, on the summer solstice, killed the governor of the Frankish state and the rest of the high-ranking officials at all levels!"
"In the spring of 1128 in the year of the Isu calendar, the new governor of the Frankish state was killed..."
“。。。 ”
"Now in custody!"
"Shhh
The more Qin Ming looked at it, the more strange it became, because he found that this red refining demon named Wright had only one target, that is, Frank State, as long as someone became the governor, he would hunt and kill him.
However, what made him a little regretful was that he had almost exhausted all the information of this Red Refining Demon several times, and he had not found any introduction to the so-called alchemy materials.
"According to Old Man Chris, there should still be a safe!"
Qin Ming put away the folder, no longer continuing to flip through it, his eyes continued to sweep the room, and sure enough, it didn't take long for him to see a black safe more than half a meter high in a corner.
With a hint of joy, Qin Ming walked towards the safe, and what was surprising was that the safe was not locked and was open, and around the safe, there were traces of blood that had long been dried.
It looks like there was a fight here a few hundred years ago, apparently a hundred years ago.
"This!"
Qin Ming squatted down and opened the safe, and saw that there was indeed a thick stack of documents stored inside, although some were old, and some were torn in half, but they were generally complete.
Without thinking about it, I just picked it up and read it, and I was immediately overjoyed.
Although I don't understand a lot of technical terms, these documents are all about the research manuscript named Wright, and the process of unraveling.
