Chapter 468: The Dungeon

The walls paved with mark bricks were also covered with large marks of blood or rust, and the smell of rust in the air was very pungent.

Because the smell of dried blood is very similar to the smell of rust, I can't tell if the smell comes from rust or blood.

In this room, the only metal work is probably the tall cabinets facing the door.

I hit the beam at one of the cabinets and cautiously leaned in.

The cabinets were supported by four thick steel bars, one section of which was welded to the cabinet and the other end driven into the ground, and the cabinet itself was five bread solid, with only one side facing the door embedded with barbed wire.

I drove the beam into the barbed wire, and I saw that the bottom of the cabinet was a brownish-red trace, which looked like rust, and then I slowly moved the lamp head, so that the light swept around the cabinet, and when the light hit the left side of the cabinet, a small figure appeared in the field of vision.

At first, I thought it was a dead baby, but when I looked closely, I realized that it was just a puppet made of wood.

Yunshang couldn't help frowning: "Who, such a bad taste." ”

But I'm afraid it's not as simple as bad taste, locking dolls in the tall cupboard, it's some kind of ritual I haven't seen before.

As I threw the beam into the other cabinets, I asked Yunshang, "Yunshang, were you dragged down by something just now?" ”

Yunshang naturally understood what I meant, she shook her head, and responded: "No, just now I suddenly felt that I had become heavier all of a sudden, and in the process of falling, I first felt that I was getting heavier and heavier, and then I 'exhaled', and I felt that I had changed back to my original weight." ”

Why did Yunshang's weight suddenly change?

I stopped what I was doing and pondered for a while, but I couldn't figure out why, so I could only ask Yunshang again: "Have you had a similar experience before?" ”

Yunshang shook her head: "Never." ”

That's weird, if Yunshang hadn't encountered the same thing before, it means that it was something hidden in this reverse city that had an impact on her.

Given that Yunsheng's weight has returned to normal since then, I can roughly conclude that the factors that can affect her should be on the upper floor.

The beam of the flashlight swept through several cabinets, each containing a wooden doll of equal size.

The more I came to the conclusion that the cabinets and dolls here were used for some kind of ritual, but this ceremony was performed many years ago, and at that time, there should not have been so much rust in the cabinet.

As for why these strange things have not been removed after the ceremony has ended, the reason is unknown.

Then I put away my flashlight, leaned over to the door, and tried to pull the doorknob.

Unexpectedly, this rusty iron door was actually hidden, and the door shaft had only been oiled not long ago, and when the door panel was pushed open, the movement trajectory was very good, and there was almost no noise at the door shaft.

Outside the door was an unusually narrow room, where there was no barbed wire, but the walls were covered with cobwebs, and at the base of the wall, clusters of leukoma-like eggs could be seen, these eggs were very large, although the shape was not regular, but in terms of volume, each one was about the size of a football.

Is it really a spider that comes out of such a large egg?

Where in the world is there such a big spider cub?

Cloudskirt and I hid our figures, carefully walking on the ground covered in broken cobwebs and slime, each step being extra careful.

During this time, I combined the barrel and the head of the gun into one, and kept an eye on the movements around me.

The light was extremely dim, and in order to prevent my whereabouts from being exposed, I did not dare to turn on the flashlight, so I could only rely on a pair of naked eyes to search repeatedly in this extremely dim environment, just to find the location of the mother worm as soon as possible.

It doesn't matter if you get rid of it first, or you can avoid it, but first I need to know where it is.

On the way, you can see some large cocoons hanging upside down from the top of the wall, but by looking at the shape of the cocoon, you can conclude that the things wrapped inside are dead people, these people do not seem to have been eaten, but starved to death, or dissolved by some kind of solution, they are all very thin, causing the shape of the cocoon to become slender and long, but even so, you can clearly distinguish where the head, shoulders and waist are located.

Even in a place like this, covered in cobwebs, there was a strong smell of rust in the air.

At this moment, I was more and more sure that the smell should come from dried bloodstains, because those dark stains that appeared on the cocoons could not be rust, only blood.

Yunshang and I walked between the spider silk for nearly ten minutes, but we didn't find the mother worm, but found the exit of the room, an iron door that was not covered by spider silk at all.

On the iron door, a small window opened, and I leaned in with a frown and glanced inside.

Behind the door was like a prison, with a dim chandelier hanging directly opposite the iron window, and under the light, a straight path led to the depths of darkness, and on both sides of the road, there were cells embedded with iron bars, and there was no light in the cells, and the outside lights could not illuminate them all, so that most of the cells were black, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

Only two cells next to the chandelier were fully illuminated, and on the floor of each cell lay a withered man, dead or alive.

I pressed my hand on the door panel and pushed it gently, and sure enough, the door was also hidden, and when I pressed it with my hand, the door opened swayingly.

As soon as the iron door opened, a figure suddenly flashed out of the cell closest to the door.

Yunshang wanted to retreat, but I grabbed her and motioned for her not to move.

At the same time, I took a large number of the men who appeared in the cell, a man who was supposed to be emaciated to the point of being skinny, and in the dim light it was impossible to discern his age, only that his eyes had fallen into complete madness, and even the expression on his face was very exaggeratedly distorted.

He was lying on the iron fence, staring straight at the iron gate, but completely ignoring me standing in front of the door.

It seems that this reverse city is indeed an ancient castle standing upside down underground, and the light array is working, and the madman on the other side of the iron fence can't see me and Yunshang at all.

The madman slowly turned his gaze and looked at the doorway, with a strange expectation in his eyes, in addition to madness.

It was as if he was hoping that something would come out of this iron door.

I pulled Yunshang across the doorframe, then grabbed the doorknob and slowly closed the door.

The moment the crack in the door was completely closed, the madman suddenly became irritable, and he slammed the iron grille and yelled at the iron gate.

The dull sound of crashing and hissing mingled and filled the space in an instant.
