I, sitting in the living room, watched Yu Bo tinkering with the old radio, almost mad.

"Ahh What can I do if I find the same accessory before I can use it? ”

"Hahaha~" I covered my mouth with my hands and laughed secretly, it was rare to see Yu Bo's crazy side, but it was also a pleasure. This guy usually always puts on a serious and excellent team leader who knows everything, but he didn't expect to lose on a radio today.

"As the saying goes, there is no end to the sky. Maybe there's something in this room, and there's something to match. It's as dilapidated as the hut, and it's not uncommon to have one or two old parts. Yu Bo stood up alone and walked up and down the living room, looking here and there.

"Yu Bo, haven't we checked all the top and bottom of the wooden house? What are the things you don't know very well, and even if you look for them, you shouldn't be able to find some new tricks, right? As I spoke, I nibbled on the grilled fish on my plate and looked at his face.

"No, there is a secret in Baicheng, not to mention this old-fashioned wooden house, maybe I can find the missing place and discover the unknown secret room."

"Unknown secret room?" I, shaking my head, sighed, glanced at him helplessly, and continued to eat the grilled fish on my plate.

"Yu Bo, what are you doing? So busy......" Arthur walked over, glanced at Yu Bo, then at me, and asked him.

"He's looking for a secret room." I replied casually.

"Looking for a secret room? It's fun, count me in. Arthur laughed and walked to the fireplace, knocking and bumping around, looking like he was having fun.

"Hey...... You two are hopeless. ”

I sighed, shook my head helplessly, and just got up, only to hear a "click" sound from behind, like something was turning on.

I immediately turned my head and watched Arthur, with his hand on the sheep's head, open a passage under her feet, stretching diagonally down.

"Oh my God, there really is a secret room in this wooden house!" I cried out in amazement, looking at everything in front of me in disbelief.

Arthur smiled shyly, as shy as a little girl who had received a compliment, and gave me a few sneaky glances.

"If there really is a secret room, maybe there are parts to replace the radio." Yu Bo walked to the passage with an excited face, and before we could dissuade him, he opened his legs and walked down.

"What to do? He's going down, so let's go down and have a look, right? ”

I stubbornly followed Arthur into the underground passage.

"Huh."

The candles around us suddenly lit up, and the three of us walked forward step by step, through a narrow passageway, to a dark basement.

Yu Bo reached out and groped for the wall around the basement door, and turned the candlestick closest to the door. As soon as he turned around, the dark basement suddenly became brightly lit, revealing its most terrifying original appearance before our eyesβ€”on both sides of the basement were cells side by side, with all kinds of torture instruments in the cages. And on the masonry wall facing us, dozens of keys of different shapes and sizes hung out. Underneath the key is a line of small letters carved with fingernails that read: "Real Door One"

The real door one?

What does that mean?

He/she shouldn't have finished it, right?

Arthur grabbed my arm, his body trembled, and said, "I think this place is a bit evil, let's go back quickly, don't go any further." ”

"Hey, since you've discovered this place, how can you get out so quickly?" Yu Bo said as he opened the first cell on his right hand and walked in. And I followed Yu Bo into the cell.

I, staring at the handcuffs on the wall. All of a sudden, a pair of big hands came at me from behind, pressed both of my hands against the wall, and cuffed them.

"Yu Bo, what do you want to do! Hurry up and let me go! I shouted at Yu Bo behind me, but Yu Bo stuck his head next to my head and said in a cold tone, "I want to lock you here." ”

At that moment, I suddenly felt a chill, and an unknown fear permeated my whole body. Just when the sweat drops on my head were about to drip down my cheeks, Yu Bo suddenly laughed:

"Ah, I'm sorry Char, I'm kidding you. You see your expression is so serious, you are not frightened, are you? ”

I calmed down and tried my best to use the usual tone and said to Yu Bo: "I've been tortured here by you, can I not be serious?" ”

Yu Bo patted me on the back, opened the door and walked to the wall and continued: "Don't worry, there are so many keys on this wall, there is always one key to open your handcuffs." ”

"And what if not?"

He looked at me and smiled weirdly, "There must be something here." ”

As he said this, his left hand placed a keystring on his finger and turned it around, revealing the number 01A on it

01A?

I glanced at my handcuffs, which also had the number 01A.

He walked up to me, inserted the key into the key hole in my handcuffs, and broke the handcuffs open.

"If you dare to make such a joke next time, I'll lock you here."

"Okay, okay, I don't dare, after all, I can't fight the three of you alone."

"Three?"

I shook off the handcuffs from my hands and immediately turned my head, only to find Xiaoyu also following behind and standing at the door.

"Woo~Woo~"

Xiaoyu's whining made Arthur, who was standing at the door, trembling, come back to her senses, she looked at us, then at Xiaoyu, half-squatted down, and gently stroked her head:

"Xiaoyu, why did you come with you? Is there something going on? ”

"Woo~Woo~Woo~"

Xiaoyu made a sound and gestured.

"You mean a few other people are looking for us?"

Xiaoyu nodded.

Arthur can actually understand the meaning of Xiaoyu from these gestures, and I am completely convinced.

I saw her take Xiaoyu's hand and face us and say, "Let's go out quickly, the others are looking for us." ”

"There's nothing here, let's go......" Before I finished my words, I saw Yu Bo suddenly squat down.

"Wait a minute, there's a box here!"

Yu Bo picked up a locked green box, ran to another cell, took an axe, and slashed hard at the lock on the green box.

"Smack."

The chains snapped.

Yu Bo opened the box, and inside the box were some nails, batteries, and headphones...... and vintage radio parts.

Radio parts?

There are actually radio parts.

I looked at Yu Bo in disbelief and marveled at his good fortune.

"Look, that's what I said, right? It's not uncommon to have an old part or two here. Now there it is. ”

Well, anything can happen in life, let alone one or two coincidences?

I smiled and said to Beau, "Now that you've found all these parts, there's no need for us to stay in this horrible place, there are still people waiting for us." ”

"Alright, then let's go up."

Arthur had an excited expression on his face when he heard the word "go up". She took Xiaoyu to the front, while Yu Bo and I followed.

I turned my head and looked at the cell and the rows of keys, Hubo's cold smile still echoed in front of my eyes, and for the first time I felt fear of him from the bottom of my heart, and unconsciously distanced myself from him.

"It's amazing that you can still find this secret room." Wu Han stood next to the passage and handed over his hand to Arthur. Arthur helped Xiaoyu out first, then took Wu Han's outstretched hand and stepped out of the passage.

"It's terrifying down here, but it's good you didn't go down."

Arthur glanced at the passage, shuddered, and said to Wu Han.

"Oh, is it? Then I want to go down and have a look, hehehehe~" Wu Han said with a smile.

"You want to go down and have a look?! There are all kinds of torture instruments in there. Arthur's eyes widened and he looked at Wu Han in disbelief.

A glimmer of light flashed in Wu Han's eyes, and he just wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back because Yu Bo and I happened to come up.
