Chapter 18: The Mysterious Pattern

There was no sign of the girl in the room, and the only possibility was that she had jumped.

Under the metal door, there is a vertical passage with traces of artificial repair, and the four walls seem to have been artificially polished, and the touch is relatively smooth and not rough.

Since Chen Xian didn't turn on the flashlight, it was difficult to judge its depth at a glance, but fortunately, there was a ladder installed at the edge, and judging from the recognizable steps, the vertical height of this passage was at least fifty meters or more.

Do you want to follow her down now?

Chen Xian hesitated, feeling a little uncertain, after all, there was a Huo Fat Man here, if after he left, Huo Fat Man would encounter any other danger......

Suddenly, the room sounded the sound of a burning match.

Chen Xian subconsciously turned his head and saw that Huo Fatzi was waving an object similar to a glow stick.

The object that emitted an extremely white light was very bright, more dazzling than a strong flashlight, and it illuminated most of the room almost instantly, and Chen Xian was discovered by Huo Fatzi before he could react.

"Xiao Chen, are you okay?!"

It is no exaggeration to say that when Huo Fat Man saw Chen Xian, he was like seeing a savior, almost running to Chen Xian's side, running so that the fat all over his body was trembling, and he was so excited that he was about to cry.

"Oh, I've found you! Fucking scare the hell out of me! ”

Chen Xian looked at Fat Huo silently, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he held back for a long time before asking him sullenly, "How do you feel?" ”

"Me? I feel okay! Huo Fatzi rubbed his shoulders, crossed his hands on his waist and twisted his stomach a few times, as if he was doing some kind of warm-up exercise, "It's just that my head is a little dizzy, but there is no hard injury." ”

After receiving this reply, Chen Xian couldn't help but be silent for another two seconds.

Can fat also make a fat debut?

Just now, he was directly smashed by patient No. 13, flying at least ten meters away, and then hit the wall and fell to the ground..... I didn't get hurt??

"How are you?" Huo Fatzi asked at this time.

Chen Xian slowly got up and replied, "I'm fine." ”

"What are you doing here?" When Huo Fatzi asked this, he had already picked up the flashlight that had fallen aside, shook it left and right a few times with the light on, and looked at the general situation, "Why didn't you make a sound when I called you just now?" ”

Hearing this question, Chen Xian's heart was tense and he didn't dare to make a sound, and his brain was racing to find an answer that matched the current situation.

But before he could speak, Huo Fatzi asked him first: "Are you injured?" ”

"I'm ...... Well? Chen Xian didn't react at once.

"What's the matter with all this black water on you?" Huo Fatzi frowned, there was no smile on his meaty face, and when he looked at Chen Xian, his eyes were obviously a little worried, "I remember that something attacked me before, but I didn't see what it was..... Did you fight it? ”

Chen nodded idly and replied, "Yes, I fought with it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Xian pretended to be solemn and raised his hand to touch his stomach, and his tone gradually became serious, and he couldn't tell that he was talking nonsense.

"It's a very tricky anomaly, and I still haven't figured out where it came from, so it's dark..... It happened to run away when you called me just now, I'm sorry, Uncle Huo, I couldn't stop it. ”

"That's it......" Huo Fatzi sighed, as if he wanted to comfort Chen Xian and ask him not to blame himself so much, he patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, just run, just run, you're fine." ”

Seeing that Huo Fat Man didn't doubt himself, Chen Xian immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but the expression on his face was still tense, and he didn't dare to relax at all.

For example, Huo Fatzi, an old fritter mixed out of the secret bureau, has an eyesight that ordinary people can never imagine, and he can see at a glance the lies of ordinary people, so Chen Xian does not dare to be careless.

"What kind of thing is this..... Huo Fatzi noticed the black water tank next to him, so he stepped forward to take a few looks, and asked confusedly, "Where are they raising fish here?" ”

"I don't know."

Chen Xian shook his head, then glanced at the crumpled form on the ground, and saw that Huo Fatman's attention was on the strange big water tank, and he wouldn't notice this side for a short time, so Chen Xian gently raised his foot and kicked the paper ball into the hole on the ground.

This was completely his subconscious reaction, perhaps because he wanted to hide all the clues that might be related to the girl, and he didn't want Huo Fatzi to find too much, so he had this almost instinctive action.

After about half a minute, Huo Fatzi also lost interest in the big water tank, and instead came to Chen Xian's side, squatted on the ground and shone a flashlight into the vertical passage.

"It's twenty-one floors...... There are even ...... below" Huo Fatzi squinted his eyes and said thoughtfully, "The vertical height is at least eighty meters..... There seems to be water down there......"

Suddenly, he raised his head and glanced at Chen Xian.

"Do you want to go down and have a look?"

Chen Xian didn't agree or refuse, but put on a very serious expression and was thinking, looking at the strange vertical passage below for a while, and then tilting his head and not knowing what he was thinking.

"It's risky." Chen Xian said, his eyes did not show the slightest flaw, as if he was saying a conclusion that he had reached after serious thinking, and did not give Huo Fatzi a chance to see the loophole at all, "The abnormal life that attacked you before ran away from here, and now it is easy to bump into it if you go down." ”

After that, Chen Xian squatted down and gestured a few times at the entrance of the passage, as if he was calculating the size.

"The inner diameter is only one meter, which is a little narrow, and we will suffer a lot if we fight it in the passage."

"Makes sense......"

Huo Fatzi took out a cigarette at a loss, lit it and took two puffs, the expression on his face relaxed a little, and then he lay on the ground and looked carefully into the vertical passage, muttering that the key would not be below, right?

Where the key is, Chen Xian doesn't care, he has one thing in mind now.

How do you get that girl out?

But then again, looking down from the entrance of the cave, you can't see the girl's figure at all, where has she gone??

"Forget it, I won't go down."

Huo Fatzi seemed to have decided to break the jar, and with a bang, he lifted the metal door and closed it heavily, with a very dissatisfied expression on his face, as if he had a heavy grudge against something, and he cursed in his mouth.

"The danger level of this psychiatric hospital is too high, it's already good that the two of us can get here, and if we barely go on, we will only ......"

When he said this, Huo Fatzi paused very abruptly, and suddenly there was no sound.

Sensing the change in Huo Fatzi, Chen Xian subconsciously glanced at him.

I saw the fat man staring at the metal door on the ground, panting incessantly.

As if he had seen something he couldn't believe, his fat body trembled slightly, and his forehead was already covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat.

"What's wrong?" Chen Xian asked a little puzzled, glanced at the door panel again, and didn't find anything special.

"It'..... This pattern..... It's not our business......" Huo Fatzi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and the expression on his face was very strange.

Pattern?

Chen Xian glanced down, there was nothing special on the door panel, if you want to talk about patterns...... There are also, but this pattern looks too ordinary, and Chen Xian didn't think much about it when he saw it before.

It was a circular pattern engraved on the door panel, which looked like some kind of badge or imprint on the whole, but the intaglio content inside was too ordinary, so at first Chen Xian thought it was the logo left by the door panel when it left the factory.

The pattern is very simple, it is seven palms stacked together, it seems to symbolize some kind of spirit of unity, and the edge of the pattern is also surrounded by an unknown circle of trivial vines, the style of painting is simple and intuitive, and in general there is nothing outstanding.

Is there anything strange about this pattern?

Chen Xian couldn't figure it out, but he also had a strong curiosity in his heart.

"It's no wonder this hospital can make an underground facility of this scale...... Fuck me, I should have thought of it a long time ago! Huo Fatzi scolded in a cold sweat, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket in a particularly anxious manner, and the whole person fell into a state of extreme anxiety, "This matter is not in our hands, we must let the people from the armed forces department come and take over!" ”

"What the hell is going on?" Chen Xian couldn't help but ask curiously, and glanced at the ordinary pattern again: "Does this pattern have any special meaning?" ”

Hearing this question, the expression on Fat Huo's face froze for a moment.

"You're just a senior temporary, aren't you? Not a regular employee, right? Huo Fatzi asked, as if he was determining something.

Chen Xian nodded.

"It's not that Uncle Huo sold you Guanzi, it's that you don't have enough authority, I can't tell you about it......" Huo Fatzi anxiously pressed the button of his mobile phone, and said without raising his head, "The upper authorities have given us confidentiality regulations, and all information about them must be blocked." ”

Chen Xian didn't make a sound, quietly looking at the pattern on the door panel, with thoughtful eyes in his eyes.

"Their information is more classified than the key's?" Chen Xian asked suddenly.

Huo Fatzi nodded, then squatted down and took a photo with his mobile phone, and took a clear picture of the pattern on the door panel, as if he was going to send it to someone.

After about a minute or two, Huo Fatzi's mobile phone rang.

Chen Xian couldn't hear what the person on the other side of the phone said, he could only see Huo Fatzi nodding his head and saying yes.

When Huo Fatzi hung up the phone, the cigarette in his mouth was also smoked into a cigarette butt.

"Let's get out." Huo Fatzi said, his tone changed a lot compared to before, as if he was inexplicably a lot more relaxed, and he smiled again and lit a cigarette again, "No need to look for the key, our task is complete." ”

"Done?" Chen Xian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Why didn't you suddenly look for it again?" ”

"We just don't need to look for it."

Huo Fatzi took a cigarette in his mouth and glanced at Chen Xian deeply.

"Let's go, it's not safe to stay here, let's go back first."
