Chapter 63: The Stump in the Ice Cellar
Wait a minute!
I glared, stretched out my hands to the left and right sides of the stone corridor, and propped up the stone walls on the left and right sides of the stone corridor.
Without hesitation, after holding the stone walls on both sides of the stone corridor with both hands, he jumped with his strength and kicked up with both feet, and climbed to the top of the stone corridor in a few strokes, which was about three or four meters high from the ground of the stone corridor.
Fortunately, the uneven stone walls on both sides of the stone corridor allowed me to stop on the top of the stone corridor steadily.
He stopped at the top of the stone corridor and looked into the darkness of the stone corridor until the footsteps drew closer.
I held my breath as a dark shadow emerged from the darkness I was staring at with the sound of footsteps.
It's just the hand of the black shadow that appears, and I can't help but feel a sigh in my heart.
Not because I saw the other me, not because I saw something horrible, but because I saw the cart I had seen before......
Yes, the cart I saw before appeared from the darkness when I came, and it was clearly the cart that Rose used to push Xiao Li.
It's just that at this time, the cart is empty, and the people pushing the cart are ...... It's another me!
Not bad!
The person pushing the cart is no longer a rose, but another me I met in the big room, the other me who killed Lin Mu!
I will never be dazzled, because this other me, pushing the cart, has a silver bracelet on one wrist.
Grass...... What's going on here?
How could this other me push the same cart as the rose?
Wait a minute!
This other one I was pushing the same cart that Rose had pushed before.
And the reason why Rose dealt with Xiao Li was related to Xu Qiucheng.
In other words, this other me is also related to Xu Qiucheng?
This Xu Qiucheng, what is he doing in this ancient castle that does not see the light of day, and he can actually ...... Able to create another me......
For a moment, I only felt an overwhelming aura of conspiracy, covering my periphery.
Of course, I also tried my best to hold my hands and feet so as not to let myself fall.
The other me, who was pushing the cart below, paused in front of the stone wall, walked around the cart, pulled out a bunch of keys, and opened the cold stone wall.
With a "click", the cold stone wall opened, and I trembled all over, but fortunately I clenched my hands and feet so that I would not fall.
And the reason why I shiver is because of the piercing cold air that comes out of the open stone wall.
It's as if behind this stone wall is a big ice cellar.
At this time, the other me, who opened the stone wall, also pushed the cart into the stone wall.
This makes me a little puzzled, because isn't this other me supposed to come and kill me?
Shouldn't he have searched everywhere for traces of me after entering this stone corridor?
And the way he entered the stone wall now didn't look like he was here to kill me, but like he had come to get something from the stone wall......
After a moment of thought, there was another sound of heavy objects falling to the ground in the cold stone wall that was opened.
I listened carefully, but I heard the footsteps coming back from the stone wall, and it seemed that the other self who had pushed the cart into the stone wall took what he wanted from the stone wall, and then retreated into the stone corridor.
I gritted my teeth and held my hands, which were already trembling a little, until the sound of footsteps made me push the cart and walked out of the cold stone wall.
I looked down and couldn't help but frown.
Because I only found that there was a piece of wood on the cart that the other me was pushing......
Yes, a piece of wood, is a log of trees, that is, a stump......
Of course that's not right, it's completely wrong.
Not to mention why this other self no longer pursues me, but pushes a cart to get things, let's just say that there are tree stumps in this ice cellar-like stone wall?
Or rather, why are the stumps placed in an ice cellar?
Shouldn't the stump be placed in a dry place, no matter what it's used for?
This ice cellar will definitely be wet, and this stump placed in it, no matter what it is used for, will it not rot?
I couldn't figure it out, so the other me closed the cold stone wall and pushed the cart in the direction of the stone corridor from which I came.
However, I noticed that he forgot to remove the key from the cold stone wall......
Yes! He forgot to remove the key from the cold stone wall, and the key was stuck in the invisible keyhole of the stone wall!
I was relieved to see the other one pushing the cart and disappearing into the darkness of the stone corridor when I came, until I could no longer hear the footsteps, and I went down to the top of the stone corridor.
My feet touched the ground, and it was sore, but I didn't care, I just grabbed the cold stone wall, another key I forgot, twisted and opened the stone wall again.
A biting chill poured out of the stone wall and hit my door, and I didn't think much of it, and got into it.
Now that I've reached this point, it's important to understand everything that's not going right around me.
Only when you understand what is happening around you can you make corresponding countermeasures.
Turning around and closing the stone wall door, the whole person was completely shaking with his shoulders hugged.
The temperature in this stone wall is definitely below freezing, and I have to figure out what is going on in this stone wall ice cellar as soon as possible.
There is no concern, anyway, there will be no one else in this stone-walled ice cellar, so he took out the mobile phone in his pocket and turned on the powerful flashlight.
And with the glow of the powerful flashlight, I couldn't help but frown tightly.
Because I only noticed in the light of the powerful flashlight, in the ice-cellar-like space in the stone wall, there were stumps that were exactly the same as those of the other me, pushed away on a cart.
Yes, the stumps, the dense stumps, just like the dense stumps that Shen Li and I saw in the space of the dojo.
Grass...... This ice cellar is really used to store tree stumps......
But the question is still the question, why put the stump in the ice cave?
Could it be that there is some secret hidden in these tree stumps?
My heart moved, and I took a few steps to the nearest tree stump, and with a powerful flashlight, I carefully examined it.
The only thing that is wrong is that the surface of the stump is covered with frozen water stains, and at the bottom, there is also a wisp of ice condensed by water droplets.
It's as if the stump of the tree was soaked in water before being transported into this ice cave to be frozen......
Why is that? Why deliberately soak the stump in water and freeze the stump into an ice stump?
I couldn't figure it out, so I reached out and touched it, but of course, all I touched was a piece of piercing ice.
I frowned tightly, and with a powerful flashlight, I took a turn in the ice cave.
There is nothing else, and all that is frozen in this freezer is these dense stumps......
Grass...... What did Xu Qiucheng do by freezing these stumps? Could it be that he used these stumps to create the other me?
I didn't think much of it, because I was already frozen by the cold of the ice cellar at this time.
Hurriedly returned to the cold stone wall, opened the stone wall with the key, and drilled out.
For a while, the temperature rose, and I let out a long breath of cold air, but I also knew that I had no time to rest.
The other me who came to this stone corridor ice cellar with a cart shows that he has temporarily given up arresting me, so I can already go back.
The other me, having lost the key to this cold stone wall, will surely come back to look for it, so I must leave the stone corridor as soon as possible in case I run into him.
The pace quickened until it passed through the stone corridor and returned to the fork in the road.
Of course, he did not choose to enter the stone corridor that glowed with fire, but returned in the direction of the large room.
The big room was spacious, but there was nothing, and the other me, I wouldn't have pushed the cart there, but into the glowing ...... Wait a minute!
Before I could think about it, I paused suddenly, for all I could hear was a faint sound of footsteps from the depths of the stone corridor leading to the great room......
Grass...... The other one I didn't push the cart into the burning stone corridor, but into the big room?
But there was nothing in the big room...... Wait!
There was nothing in the big room, but there were spiral staircases......
Yes!
Then the other me, if it was Xu Qiucheng's person, he should know how to enter the revolving staircase from the big room, and also know how to go from the revolving staircase to other floors of the ancient castle, so isn't it natural for him to push the cart into the big room?
Suddenly, I turned around and headed back to the fork in the road, and entered the glimmering stone corridor on the right side of the fork.
There was no choice at all, and the other me who came from the big room would definitely go to the freezer to find the key he had forgotten, so the only thing that was safe for now was the stone corridor on the right side of the fire-glowing fork in the road.
It's just that I don't know anything about what is in the stone corridor on the right side of this fork in the road......
Leaning against the wall of one side of the stone corridor, I walked deeper until I turned a corner, and finally found the source of the fire in the stone corridor.
It was a burning torch on the side of the stone gallery wall in front of me, and its flame illuminated not only where I was at this moment, but also a stone wall in the depths of the stone gallery.
Yes, it was another stone wall, exactly the same stone wall as the cold stone wall in the stone corridor on the left before, completely blocking the stone corridor on the right.
Of course, I understand that this stone wall is actually a stone door, but because of the influence of Xu Qiucheng's method, I can't see its doorknob and keyhole.
This time, however, it was almost the same situation, but it was different from the one in the stone corridor on the left, because I already had the key to open the stone wall.
By the light of the torches, he stared at the surroundings of the stone corridor and walked towards the stone wall step by step.
And when I got to the torch, I couldn't move my feet.
It was the first time I had seen light after entering the castle and experiencing so many unbelievable things in the dark.
The depression and panic in my heart were relieved, and the cold that had filled my body before from entering the ice cellar also disappeared in the firelight, and was replaced by a comfortable warmth.
Perhaps it was because I had been in the dark for a long time, I stared at the light of the torches, and I had no idea that this light, which I didn't care about at all, was so precious.
That's why moths want to pounce on fire, and even creatures born in lonely darkness want to touch the light......
So in the dojo, I will be desperate to save Shen Li, because Shen Li is the light that illuminates my lonely darkness......
Thinking wildly, he smiled self-deprecatingly.
I just thought that this was the case now, and I would actually think of Shen Li, but at this moment, in the darkness of the stone corridor behind me, there was a faint sound of footsteps again......
