Chapter 11 Night Visit to the Basement
At night, Qiu Xuan sat in the room and waited for Qin Jiuyuan.
After waiting for a while, she suddenly felt that the scene was inexplicably a little weird, as if they were not playing a copy of a horror game, but in some kind of dating simulator. She is the heroine of it, expectant and delicate (?). Waiting for a lover for a private meeting at night.
She decided to blame it all on Qin Jiuyuan's maintenance behavior when she was in the hot spring. So when the man pushed the door in, he saw his little girl looking at him with a sad face and said, "I treat you as a big brother, and you want to be with me?" β
(Qin Jiuyuan:, I was discovered.) οΌ
Qin Jiuyuan: ...... How do I answer that?
Fortunately, Qiu Xuan adjusted her state, and thinking of making a horror movie such as visiting the basement at night, she touched the key in her pocket again and cheered herself up.
"Brother Yuan." She originally wanted to pretend to be casual and pat the man's shoulder like a brother, but she didn't expect Qin Jiuyuan to turn around and want to go out as soon as she heard this, so she slapped her back and slid directly to the man's waist.
Qiu Xuan: ......
Qin Jiuyuan: ......
"Accident, cough, accident." Qiu Xuan withdrew her hand and pretended that nothing had happened.
"What the hell are you going on tonight? Did something happen? Qin Jiuyuan looked at her with his eyebrows twisted.
"It's nothing, just, hey," Qiu Xuan clasped her fingers, "Just, the last time I took a dip in the hot springs, thank you for standing up for me." β
"You got it? Who told you, Akita? The man pursed his lips and seemed a little unhappy, "You talked to him alone again today?" I told you to have less dealings with him. β
"I'm afraid it won't work." Qiu Xuan walked to the device that looked like a pull ring behind the stairwell on the first floor, took out the key and handed it to Qin Jiuyuan, "Lu Xingzhou and I are in the same camp. β
The man's figure paused, didn't take the key, turned around and stared at Qiu Xuan without speaking. Qiu Xuan also glared at him.
The two of them glared at each other for a while, Qin Jiuyuan took the lead in defeat, he took the key as if admitting defeat, sighed and said, "I remember I told you, um, little girl? The faction really doesn't matter to me, I've always been on your side as long as you want. β
"Who wouldn't say good things, huh, Mr. Qin? Then do you know that Lu Xingzhou told me on the front foot not to pay attention to personal affairs, victory is the most important thing, and I led the devil here on the back foot, and handed him a key with my hand? β
The man couldn't hold back, and secretly bent the corners of his mouth in an invisible place.
Qiu Xuanbai stepped forward and was about to pull the device, but Qin Jiuyuan suddenly looked abrupt and pulled her into the shadows.
"Someone's coming." He said.
The next second, she heard the footsteps of someone coming downstairs, very soft, and they might not have been able to hear it if they hadn't been right under the stairwell.
"Brother Bo, it's so dark here, I'm a little scared." The girl's whispered and sweet voice came, it was Yang Luoluo.
Then, it was Zheng Yunbo's soft comfort, "It's okay, Luo Luo, I'll accompany you, we'll go back after changing the ticket, it'll be fine, Luo Luo, don't be afraid." β
"Brother Bo......" seemed to hesitate for a while, and Yang Luoluo said with some grievances, "Brother Yuan's expression just now is so scary, I didn't dare to ask, why did you let me change my vote to vote for Azhou?" Azhou people are really good. β
"That's because you're too simple and deceived by him to think that others are good, that kid has a lot of eyes."
"But......" Yang Luoluo was about to say something, but was interrupted by Zheng Yunbo, and the man's voice was faintly impatient, "Okay Luoluo, did we say to stay away from other men, do you like him when you speak for that kid like this?" β
"How could it be, I, I didn't!" As if frightened, Yang Luoluo spoke with a little sob.
In the next second, Zheng Yunbo regained his previous gentle voice and began to comfort softly, "Okay, okay, I shouldn't have said that, it's all my brother's fault, Luo Luo didn't cry." Leave the rest to me and Yuan, Luo Luo just needs to be obedient, okay? β
"Good ......"
The two of them walked down the hall, their voices becoming inaudible.
Qiu Xuan stood in the dark and frowned, she always felt that the way these two got along was indescribably strange and uncomfortable, she always felt that it was the two elder brothers who were licking Yang Luoluo, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Moreover, why did they vote for Lu Xingzhou, did they already know Lu Xingzhou's camp?
She looked back at Qin Jiuyuan and wanted to exchange ideas with him, but Qin Jiuyuan didn't look concerned, and when she saw the two of them walking away, she directly activated the pull ring.
The device was activated, and a secret door on the floor slowly opened in the shadow behind the stairwell, and the deep and dark steps fell straight to the ground.
Qin Jiuyuan took the flashlight and walked down first, "Don't run around behind me, little girl," he looked back at Qiu Xuan, "If you're really scared, take me." β
Qiu Xuan ignored him, and carried an oil lamp on the wall in his hand. The two of them walked down the almost ninety-degree vertical staircase, and the further down they went, the more ineffective the villa's heating system seemed to become, Qiu Xuan shuddered, but didn't say anything.
"Is it cold?" Qin Jiuyuan noticed it, and he stopped in his footsteps, as if he was about to take off his clothes like a gentleman and put them on for the lady who was cold.
Then the two of them looked at the man together, and the only thin shirt he had on his body, which was worse than Qiu Xuan, fell into silence.
Just when Qin Jiuyuan was really thinking about whether to take off his shirt, Qiu Xuan looked away as if he couldn't stand it, "Okay, Brother Yuan, I understand the kindness, hurry up and leave please." β
That being said, the staircase is so difficult to walk that it's more of a ladder than a staircase. During this period, after Qiu Xuan's balance was unstable many times and almost kicked Qin Jiuyuan down directly, the man finally couldn't bear it anymore and forcibly dragged her by one hand to help her keep her balance.
After about ten minutes of walking, the two stepped onto the flat ground and looked at the iron gate in front of them, which was surrounded by thick rusty iron chains.
The man bypassed the dust and rust with some disgust, and pulled out the key to open the chain on the lock. The whole picture of the iron door slowly opening opened in front of them.
To Qiu Xuan's surprise, this place is not called a "basement" but an underground basketball court. It covers an area almost the size of half a villa.
There were some miscellaneous items piled up inside like a real basement, Qiu Xuan looked at it casually, and then found an identity verification card that had been thrown on the furniture very casually.
Qiu Xuan: ......
That's a bit too casual.
However, Qin Jiuyuan took it for granted, and said, "After all, not everyone can discover this basement at the same time and have the key to open it, this is probably the reward for opening the basement?" As he spoke, he bent down to pick up the card and handed it to Qiu Xuan.
Qiu Xuan didn't answer, she thought that this should be the card of Qin Jiuyuan's last time. The man had already taken a step forward to see what she wanted to say, and directly stuffed the card into her coat pocket at a speed that didn't have time to refuse, muttering, "Did I say that it's useless for me to hold this card, it's a waste to hold it, why don't you always listen to people?" β
Sometimes Qiu Xuan really couldn't tell which of Qin Jiuyuan's words were serious and which were joking, just like now, although intuitively he felt that he was not joking, but intellectually he was shouting wildly, how could this be possible, this is not true.
They walked around the pile of debris, and beyond that were some apparently abandoned experimental workbenches and the like, with instruments such as test tube beakers covered in cobwebs, and some manuscripts, but they were already in a mess with mold.
Looks like a secret underground laboratory of Frankenstein.
The two of them turned around and found no more useful information, but they did find a secret door at the edge of the wall. When I pushed the door in, I saw that it was a pitifully small room, and in the center of the room was a large bed that did not match the size of the room. There are some, ahem, props hanging on the walls.
Handcuffs, whips, and similar props that will be sealed if you say it. Qiu Xuan swears by her 5.0 vision after wearing contact lenses, and she even saw a set of leather clothes.
The two looked at each other and silently exited the room as if nothing had happened.
A secret underground laboratory of Frankenstein playing SM. Qiu Xuan silently updated her impression in her heart.
Finally, at the end of the room, in the burnt fireplace, they made some real discoveries.
It was a few surviving sheets of manuscript paper that had not yet been burned, and it was filled with totems like cult sacrifices. Most of the text had been consumed by the flames, but on the last piece of parchment it was clearly written:
The bones will eventually return to the earth, and what is infested by filth is holyβcalling Wendigo
Wendigo? Qiu Xuan vaguely remembered that this monster originated from the North American Indian legend, and they appeared in the cold winter when food was scarce, hiding in the woods, and randomly preying on passing humans.
But is there any moral to the presence here? Wait, Qiu Xuan looked up at Qin Jiuyuan sharply.
"You say, that question, the favorite pet of the owner of the lodge, could it be that Wendigo?"
Qin Jiuyuan obviously thought of this layer as well, he frowned, and his face was a little not very good-looking.
"Isn't that ...... Yes! Qiu Xuan squatted down and covered her head all of a sudden, her face pale. She vaguely heard Qin Jiuyuan calling her name, but she was powerless to respond. The danger sensation was screaming wildly in her head, like a big knife to stir her brain.
Something went wrong.
As if to test this idea, the next second the night owl screamed bitterly through the darkness, and even in the basement, the sound of "it" could be heard clearly.
The electronic voice said, "Summoner's command detected, summoning Wendigo-
The summoning is successful. β
