"How did you discover this secret entrance?"

As the two of them walked down the stairs, Yu Siqi couldn't help but ask Father An.

"It's not hard to spot it, because there are so many clues to keep an eye on." Father Ann pretended to stop in his tracks, and at this time the sensor lights above their heads also lit up one by one, illuminating the road below very clearly.

"Of course, the most important thing is the text clue." Father Ann smiled mischievously, his fingers flipped in front of his eyes, and something resembling a business card was caught in the middle.

Taking out the small card from Father An's finger, Yu Siqi noticed that the small white card had a paragraph written on it: "William, do you think it is a very proud thing to steal my achievements under my nose, for Chenchen's sake, I will not pursue your transgression this time." But I warn you, empty the despicable deeds you've done in the basement as soon as possible. I'll take the time to check before the next meeting at your house. Don't try to fool around, I know your painting is the key to finding the entrance. ”

Below this passage, three numbers were deliberately outlined with a red pen, which were 3, 1, and 4.

The truth is revealed, it turns out that the priest is not just because of his keen intuition, but simply because he has found clues from others, so he is so obsessed with paintings.

After learning the truth, Yu Siqi's expression was slightly lost.

"Don't get too frustrated, that's a lot of the time. For example, in the eyes of the audience, the performance is always so beautiful, but in the eyes of the magician, it is just another time without missing a hand. Father Ann said earnestly.

Listening to the words of comfort in his ears naturally made Yu Siqi's heart feel a little better, especially when they came to a statue, the statue that was still on their side suddenly moved to front of them, blocking the passage.

"It seems that our arrival is not particularly welcome," Father Ann said, looking at the statue that was clearly used to block the road.

"Is it because the mechanism was triggered?" Yu Siqi asked first, and then saw that the camera set up in the corner above the back of the statue was flashing red. "I think it's been seen."

"It's not a question of seeing, it's about being seen." Father Ann said this meaningfully to the statue.

At this moment, a human voice came from the corridor behind the statue, "You seem to be in a place where you shouldn't be, please explain, why do you insist on digging deep underground secrets"

"Secret" Father Ann stared at the statue with bright eyes.

"What are you thinking, well, I want to warn you, my anger is beyond your means," the man's tone became a little tougher, but as the statue was gently pushed by Father An, his voice was so flustered, "Why the hell are you here?"

"Come on, I'm getting more and more interested here." Father An turned his face and beckoned Yu Siqi to follow him, saying, "Pay attention to some gravel under your feet, don't trip over." ”

After the two of them walked through a deep and long tunnel, they came to what looked like a private laboratory. Auto-sensing lights lit up the room as they arrived, and many precision instruments that looked like they had been in use for many years were stored in every corner of the room.

There were a lot of uneaten biscuits and breadcrumbs scattered on the table, and a leather coat hung from the chair. Not far from the table, a monitor hanging on the wall was showing the shattered statue.

There is no doubt that this is where the secret is. And now the question is, where has the person who spoke before?

Not only is Father An searching for him, but even Yu Siqi himself has used almost all of his vision to find all possibilities.

However, as if everything was an illusion, there was nothing, and the entire room was filled with countless research notes. Behind the desk was a small space, divided, on which stood a blackboard full of formulas, and an empty old birdcage.

It seems that the owner of this place is a guy who likes to keep birds, because there are even several books about birds and birds on the shelves.

"I didn't see anyone, did you say he took the opportunity to slip away" Yu Siqi put forward his hypothesis.

"I can't rule it out, but I have a feeling that he should still be here." Father Ann didn't really find the person who he was, but instead got some candles and a cup.

"It seems that it is indeed impossible to find him," Yu Siqi regretfully lifted a white cloth covering a pile of books, and after finding that there was nothing worth caring about, he turned his gaze away. Although he had guessed before he lifted the cloth whether there was a large living person hidden in that place, the corner of his eye still made him see something interesting, such as a small emerald blue bird.

Leaning over and grabbing it in his hand, Yu Siqi found that it was not very afraid of life like other birds, nor did it fly away like other birds, but stayed quietly in the palm of his hand, looking at himself with bright eyes.

"This bird is beautiful." Father Ann glanced at the bird with a smile, and then began to wander around the bookshelf. It seems that in terms of his behavioral priorities, finding the whereabouts of that person is not as important as finding a book.

"Why don't you keep looking, Father," asked Yu Siqi, putting the bird in the old birdcage and holding it in his hand.

"Didn't you find it for me," Father Ann winked at Siqi, then moved his gaze to the bird, "it's probably the guy we're looking for." ”

"What" Yu Siqi was of course shocked by Father An's statement, after all, a bird who can speak human words, there still seems to be nothing wrong with this.

After all, they are already people who have seen the world.

Since Father An said so, Yu Siqi naturally lifted the birdcage in front of his eyes and looked at the bird carefully. This is a very active bird, there is no doubt about that. And the more he stared at the bird, the more he realized that Father Ann's words might not be a joke.

Thinking of this, he simply did something that he thought was a little stupid, and that was to speak to this little bird.

"Are you William?" was the first name that popped up in Yu Siqi's mind, and it was also one of the questions he could think of without thinking through his brain.

The bird didn't answer him, it was normal, at least it seemed normal.

But then, when Father Ann took the book off the shelf, the bird flapped its wings and made a human voice: "You can take everything here, but I won't allow you to take the book, never."

Although the fact that birds can talk has long been prompted, it still somewhat surprised Yu Siqi. He looked at the bird in the cage curiously, and repeated the question again with some concern.

"Can you please not ask me the same question, of course I'm William, otherwise who do you think I am, a talking delphinch, or do you think I'm actually a parrot" The bird's temper didn't seem particularly good, because the way it spoke was a bit rushed.

"I didn't think so, or thought. In fact, I'm just confirming. Yu Siqi shook the birdcage in his hand a little and said, "Although I know that the next question may not have an answer, I still want to ask you, how did you become a bird?"

"I refuse to answer," said the self-proclaimed William bird, holding his wings around his chest, "that is a matter of my personal honour and status." ”

"Alright, we've almost collected everything, we should go back too, but don't keep the doctor waiting too long." Father An patted Yu Siqi on the shoulder and gestured to leave.

"Do you want me to take you out," Yu Siqi asked as he looked into the birdcage.

"Thank you for your kindness, I am very satisfied with my current living conditions." William said, twisting his head.

"That's it, goodbye." Yu Siqi put the birdcage on the ground, and he followed the priest to leave the room.

But as he was about to reach the door, William's voice was hurried and a little anxious, "Alright, well, I'll reluctantly agree to your excessive request." Quick, get me out of this place, I haven't seen the sunrise in months. ”

Hearing this, Yu Siqi first asked for Father An's permission, and with a smile nod from the other party, he turned back and left with the birdcage.
