Chapter Eighty-Eight: Behind the Doorway
The six-man assault team reached both sides of the red gate of the stone wall with the tactic of rushing the room, and there were players on the left and right.
Lou Xiaoning was on the left, she looked up at the two lamps, and said suspiciously: "I didn't find any different texts, it was a kerosene lamp, the kerosene in it was two-thirds full, and the wick was still very long, as if it had just been changed in less than an hour." β
Everyone above the stone road was in a heavy mood when they heard it, who changed it?
The 10,000 steps of this stone path could only be walked up and down, and they walked all the way down and encountered nothing but the strong wind.
If someone or something had added oil to the lamp, it would have been behind the red door.
"The red door found no different texts, no cracks, and the door seemed to be embedded in the stone wall." Lou Xiaoning observed again, she was wearing gloves on both hands, at this time she was holding a gun in her right hand, and her left hand made a countdown gesture to the team members, three, two, one, her left hand pushed the edge of the red door vigorously.
The players on both sides held their breath, gathering all their attention, and rushed in as soon as the red door was pushed open.
However, the red door did not move.
"No, there's no pullback." Lou Xiaoning reported, "The red door is very thick, or it is connected to the surrounding wall. Xue Ba over there commanded: "Three people try it together." Zhou Yi and Gao Mingpeng also came out from both sides and pushed together with Lou Xiaoning, but there was no force back.
At the same time, Gu Jun was still trying to perceive this red door, but he only felt sick and distorted, as if it was a mess......
"Try the doorway." Xue Ba said again, "Don't look at it directly, be careful, it may be a mechanism!" The previous black wind should have come out of that doorway. β
This was the most reasonable speculation within their cognition, if the black wind did not appear out of thin air, it could only come out of the doorway.
Such a small door hole can gush out such a fierce wind.
"That's really evil." Uncle Dan laughed, but no one cheered for this pun joke, and now everyone's hearts are tense.
Lou Xiaoning first poked the door hole with the tip of the gun, then shone it with a flashlight, and then fiddled with some other tools, but there was no response. She poked a wire cut from the instrument into the door, and little by little, she shoved the one-meter-long wire almost completely.
"The back of the door is empty, at least a meter away." She pulled the wire back out and looked at it, but it didn't change, not even a speck of dust had been touched.
Until now, Lou Xiaoning did not recklessly lean into the door to look inside, nor did he expose himself directly in front of the door.
The Witcher Squad is not a rookie team, and they understand how dangerous this behavior can be.
Behind the doorway, no one could say what was going to happen.
"Ah Jun, isn't it okay?" Xue Ba asked Gu Jun again, but when he saw him sweating profusely, he knew that there was still no result.
"I think...... That should be opened with a spell. Gu Jun said in a snarling voice, "But I don't know what the spell is." β
"Attack the team, you withdraw first." Xue Ba beckoned first, and then said to Gu Jun: "You try the poem of the Arab madman and see how it goes." β
"Okay." Gu Jun also had this idea, and when Lou Xiaoning and the others withdrew, he looked at the red door and slowly read in a different language: "It is not the dead who sleep forever, and even death will be annihilated in the strange eternity." β
When everyone heard this obscure and strange language again, the cold hairs on their skin quietly stood up.
But they also looked at the red door, but there was still no reaction......
"Not that." Gu Jun took a deep breath, although he didn't succeed, there was a feeling of nervousness in his head.
But he lifted his mind and tried again, "Open the door!" "Son of Iron, Lelorey Langton!" and so on, and said that sentence as well: "The fruit of darkness grows from the abyss of eternity, and the worms of death will last with heaven and earth." β
By this time, Gu Jun was already a little unsteady on his feet, his face was so pale that he felt like he was about to faint at any time, and he felt that his surroundings were spinning and blurring......
"Ah Jun, don't try! Enough, do you hear it, do you kid want to die violently! β
Xue Ba hurriedly called to stop, but Gu Jun didn't seem to hear any other sounds, and was still muttering something...... Xue Ba had no choice but to stretch out a muscular rumbling hand and pull Gu Jun up, which interrupted him, and then handed it to Uncle Dan and Zhang Huo to help him to rest.
Everyone can see that Gu Jun did his best...... They looked at each other in silence and discussed softly, now with only a few options.
One is to turn around and go out, the second is to try to blow up the door with explosives, and the third is to ask someone to look into the door hole and actively trigger this possible mechanism.
The second option is that there is no turning back. If the red door is like a big banyan tree, with dead wood in the center, if it is opened normally, there is a passage behind the door, leading to another space, then blowing the door up will be over. In the absence of intelligence, blowing things up is always the best option.
And the third option, which is very dangerous, is a flexible attempt, because it is only one player who comes forward to make a mistake.
Of course, they thought that if Gu Jun went to see what might change. But Gu Jun is too important, only he understands foreign languages and triggers spells, so he can't be directly asked to take this risk, and no one in the team can die first.
Someone has to find the way first, and even if they know it's a trap, they have to step into it to see what it isβthat's a kind of intelligence.
The squad needs more intelligence.
On the first day of survival training in the Mobile Task Force, the instructor kept emphasizing: "You must be ready to sacrifice at any time, not for the people, but for your teammates!" You die for your teammates, your teammates die for you, that's Mobile Task Force. β
"Fuck, I'm going to check it out." At this time, without waiting for anyone to say anything, Lou Xiaoning sighed, put the rifle on the wall by herself, put down the miniature missile backpack before, and said to everyone with a grin: "If I go crazy and shoot me, remember to shoot me in the head." β
Lou Xiaoning has always been the number one death squad in the team, and she suspected Gu Jun before, not because she was afraid of death, but because she was just a duty.
"We know." Xue Ba nodded, and did not stop her, his face was expressionless, "Big caliber, guarantee that it hurts all at once." β
At this moment, everyone is silent, this is something that must be done, and it can't be argued with Lou Xiaoning......
"Lou girl, you are good." Uncle Dan sighed and turned his head to prepare Zhang Huogang for first aid.
Gu Jun was still resting against the wall, his head still like a mess, and he didn't know if the team should make this attempt......
After the snipers and medical team were ready, Lou Xiaoning walked down the dozen or so steps all the way and arrived in front of the red door again.
This time, instead of avoiding the doorway, she leaned closer, not without tension and depression on her face, but with more courage.
The door hole was small, the size of an adult's thumb, and there was a faint white light from it.
In the eyes of everyone in the rear, Lou Xiaoning aimed his right eye at the door hole and looked in.
