In the absence of information about the "enemy", there is an unknown danger anywhere in the castle.

Vera proposes that the remaining five act together, and that they should not be left alone at any time.

So far, both Camilla and Tiger have been killed when they are alone, and it is likely that the killer will do it when the next person is alone.

There are several keys that the president finds in the maid's room, one of which is the master bedroom on the second floor, and the rest of the keys should belong to the room on the third or second floor.

Ma Haohao and his party searched from top to bottom, starting from the attic on the third floor, until they found the westernmost utility room on the first floor, but they couldn't find the room corresponding to the key.

Eric's patience ran out, "This set of keys is useless!" Those locked rooms must have been sealed by ghosts, and even if they found the key, they couldn't open it! ”

The ghost can seal the doors and windows of the castle, and naturally the rooms inside, Eric's guess is not out of thin air.

Before going to find the key and the corresponding room, they didn't try to get Augs to knock down the door panel and break in. Unfortunately, the structure of those rooms did not seem to be the same as the previous ones, and Augs was unable to knock them open despite his efforts.

"No, if the room is sealed, the key should not be able to fit into the lockhole. Instead of what we are coming across now, the key and lock don't match. Vera thought about it for a while, but she was still unwilling to give up the entry point she had so hard to find.

The door lock could not be opened, and the key to the maid's room could not be found, no matter from which point of view, it seemed strange.

Eric couldn't refute Vera's words, so he could only lose his temper: "Okay, okay, you're right about everything!" So what should you do if you can't find the corresponding room now?! ”

Vera asked, "Think about it, is there anything in this house that we have missed?" ”

"Omission?" Ma thought about it for a while and said, "The courtyard of this castle is quite large, could it be that there is a warehouse in the courtyard?" ”

But if the keys were really from the warehouse, now they were locked up in the house, and there was no way to go outside to confirm the situation in the yard.

Augs slapped his palm with an "ah", as if remembering something: "Speaking of the warehouse, did Eric and Tiger find a basement on the first floor before?" ”

"Basement?"

Vera also remembered that last night they had exchanged information, and Eric and Tiger had indeed mentioned the basement, but then everyone was distracted by the jewels in the master bedroom.

Eric was stunned, reluctant to be guessed by Vera again, pouting and saying cool words: "What if there is a basement?" I don't think that key will be in the basement either. ”

"Where is that basement, take us there first." Vera wasn't going to be swayed by his words, and immediately let Eric lead the way.

It's a matter of his own life, and Eric is no longer willing, so he has to lead the way.

The basement was not hidden, the entrance was in the utility room they had just walked out of, only to be blocked by an old-fashioned locker, which they had overlooked.

"It's strange, this cabinet should have been moved by us at that time, could it be that Tiger kid came back and moved it later?" Eric complained to himself.

Vera heard him say this, but thought more: "It doesn't have to be Tiger. I remember you said that this basement was improvised, right? Immediately after that, Camilla's death happened, and Tiger probably didn't have the heart to move the East Cabinet again. ”

"What do you mean......" Eric swallowed, as if guessing what Vera meant.

"That's right. Now there are two possibilities, one is that Eric has misremembered the location of the cabinet. The second is that the murderer, the ghost in your mouth, moved the cabinet and blocked it from the entrance to the basement. ”

"I can't be mistaken!" Eric loudly denied, "It's a ghost, it must have been a ghost!" ”

Vera said, "That's great." The killer took great pains to move the cabinet out of place, just not wanting us to discover the basement. There must be something in this basement that he doesn't want us to find. ”

"That's right! Maybe there's a weakness in the basement! Augs chimed in.

Vera's words made everyone nervous and uplifted.

Knowing that there are secrets hidden in the basement, they finally find a glimmer of hope, as if they have shaken off the dark eyes and turned their heads, and are one step closer to escaping the castle.

The keys clanged in the quiet utility room, and Vera carefully inserted the keys into the lock hole one by one, and everyone watched her with bated breath.

When I tried the last one, there was a sudden "click" sound in the room.

The sound is not heavy, but it is uplifting enough.

The chain that locked the basement was opened.

The air was quiet for several seconds, and everyone fell silent in the basement where the "seal" had been unlocked.

What's going to be in this basement?

And why didn't the ghosts want them to find this place?

Vera took a deep breath and twitched the chain that bound the iron door in the basement, and after a few pulls, she was stopped by Augs.

"I'll do it. I'm relatively strong, and even if there's something in it, I can withstand it for a while. Augs said as he took the chains from Vera's hands.

They're dealing with ghosts, not humans.

Against supernatural beings, being big may not be able to use it, Augs's words are not reasonable, in fact, he is also faintly afraid in his own heart. But he was more worried about Vera's safety than he was about himself.

He pulled the chain out of the doorknob, and the palm of his grip on the doorknob was drenched in sweat.

The small tin door in the basement made a screeching and grinding sound.

Listening to the sound, this small iron door was rotten terribly, and a choking musty smell wafted from inside, and an eerie cold air came out of it.

Several people turned on the flashlights, and Augs, Vera, Mahao, and Eric, followed one by one, leaving the president to look at the small door in the basement, so as not to have an unexpected situation when they entered the basement.

There was a gray smell in the basement, floating dust everywhere, and the sour smell of something fermenting.

Ma Hao felt that it was a good choice for the president not to come down. Even they had to cover their noses because of the strange smell, and the president's cleanliness addict must not be able to stand the smell below.

The light of four flashlights flickered through the cramped space.

The basement looks like a small wine cellar with several barrels made of oak that smell of rotting wood.

Eric stepped forward and kicked the wall of the barrel with his foot, and the barrel echoed mufflenly, and the sound of wine swaying could be heard.

It seems that the sour smell they smell is the smell of these red wines.
