Chapter Ninety-Six: Exploration
Seeing that Tong Xiaolai didn't know what to look at, the old man and the fat man also looked up curiously, but they didn't see anything.
Obviously there was nothing, and the two didn't know why Tong Xiaolai was so fascinated.
"Hey, hey, big brother, wake up, wake up!" The two shouted and nudged him.
"Ugh!" Suddenly, Tong Xiaolai was startled and broke out in a cold sweat.
When Tong Xiaolai woke up, he looked upstairs again, and there was nothing on the roof.
Tong Xiaolai pointed to the top of his head and asked them, "Did you see anything just now?" ”
I saw that the fat man and the old man shook their heads and said, "No, no." ”
"Am I mistaken?" Tong Xiaolai wiped his face to make himself sober.
The old man said, "Are you too nervous?" ”
"Possibly." Tong Xiaolai also felt that he might be too nervous.
Tong Xiaolai cheered up again. The three of them packed up the things on the ground, put their bags on their backs, and one of them rushed forward without hesitation with a gun and flashlight in his hand.
The downstairs door is open, and there is no door, so it is easy to enter and exit.
As soon as the three of them stepped on the door, a dark wind blew inside, so that they couldn't open their eyes.
When the wind stopped, the three of them went in cautiously with their lamps on their heads.
When I went inside, I didn't have a good impression.
On the first floor, there are some miscellaneous items piled up everywhere, such as broken wooden boards, broken sticks, rotten clothes, rotten strips of cloth, as well as some sundries and tools such as lime buckets, lime shovels, bricks, sand and gravel abandoned during the construction of the building.
The three of them gradually explored inside, and there was nothing particularly conspicuous and unusual inside, just some dilapidated and abandoned items, which had been left unattended for a long time, and were filthy and covered with thick dust.
It was quiet and desolate.
Since the floor is not paved with any cement, it is a bare mud floor, and the ground is uneven, and a lot of water stains have accumulated. Tong Xiaolai accidentally stepped into a mud puddle, and the dirty water stains directly covered his shoes.
"Tick, tick, tick, tick......"
There are also water stains dripping from it.
The trio explored inside, one by one, from right to left, and carried out a carpet search. All three searched closely for safety.
The light of the flashlight shone into every corner of the room from time to time, and the three of them carefully stepped over every obstacle and checked every room.
Dirty houses, cluttered houses, leaky houses, houses with nothing, that's all the three of them see at the moment.
It's very strange, no matter how Tong Xiaolai looks at it, he thinks that this is just a deserted building, all the stacked and seen items are very natural, not like there are signs of special arrangement, and nothing strange has happened.
Didn't it say that there were evil spirits? But Tong Xiaolai didn't feel anything in it.
The three of them checked the first floor, and they didn't find anything suspicious for the time being, and the things were some common daily clutter, although messy but natural.
After inspecting all the rooms, no abnormalities were found. After the search on the first floor, the trio shifted their target to the second floor.
The stairs are dirty and there are no escalators, but they are sturdy and no problem going up.
As soon as you go up to the second floor, you can sneak out of the stairs and take a look.
When they found that there was nothing wrong, it was quiet and empty, and all three of them came up.
At first glance, it was relatively empty, it was a living room, and there were several dilapidated and rotten tables and chairs in the living room, some of which were overturned, some were lame, some were barely supporting and seemed to be crumbling, and some used teacups and tea sets were thrown here.
They are all covered in a thick layer of dust.
Looking out from the living room, 80% of the front is empty, almost an empty wall, undecorated, and the view can be seen very clearly.
Be careful, go a little further and come to the empty wall, where you can see a large expanse of sky, and the moonlight spills in obliquely, illuminating their knees.
From here, you can see the village on the other side.
Tong Xiaolai leaned on the wall on the left, slowly poked his head out, and could see the downstairs on the first floor from the outside of the second floor, which was outside the door where they had just entered.
It was a bit dangerous to walk outside like this, so Tong Xiaolai retreated again.
During the inspection on the second floor, occasionally one or two droplets of water seeped down from the upper floors and dripped on their heads, which was cool and startled them.
After a while, the three of them checked each room and found nothing but dust and debris.
But the second floor is a little better than the first floor, there are not so many clutter and not so dirty.
After inspecting the second floor and finding no abnormalities, the three of them continued to go up and quietly touched the third floor.
I inspected the third floor one by one.
After checking the third floor, I went up to the fourth floor.
It turned out that it was all the same, and nothing was found. They were disappointed that they were either empty rooms or clutter, that nothing special had been found, and that nothing had been found.
There is only four floors in total, and now that the fourth floor has been inspected, Tong Xiaolai can see that this is original, thorough, from beginning to end, it is an unfinished building that has been put for many years, it is so ordinary that it is ordinary, how can there be any ghosts and monsters?
"Ah~ so disappointed!"
I didn't expect to go through hardships and dangers, break through layers of obstacles, and be born and die many times, but in exchange for such an ending.
What robot? What is the nine-year-old child? Now it seems that it is just a trip for nothing. All this time and effort have been wasted.
Although this is already the case, everything has been seen clearly, Tong Xiaolai still doesn't believe it, because he is unwilling.
He couldn't swallow it. He didn't believe it was over!
Tong Xiaolai led everyone to carefully search from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, every sundries, every room, every corner, and carefully searched again.
I searched for thirty minutes......
Thirty minutes later, I didn't expect the result to be the same, there was really nothing, this was indeed a deserted building, and it was not as evil as the rumors said.
"What the hell!" Tong Xiaolai gritted his teeth with hatred and called himself deceived.
Now it seems that Tong Xiaolai found that what the middle-aged man said to him was completely different from what he saw with his own eyes.
He didn't say that there were villages, paths, and such evil things, and the deserted buildings that he thought were evil were nothing special now.
Tong Xiaolai felt that he seemed to have been deceived, and this middle-aged man was very suspicious.
"Liar!" Tong Xiaolai couldn't help but scold. He was suddenly filled with hatred for the whole world.
Although hatred is hateful, Tong Xiaolai thought about it and felt that all this was too unreasonable, the village, the ancient temple, the mountain road, the deserted building, and the people in the village were too unreasonable.
Tong Xiaolai didn't understand, why did he have to hide this deserted building? There's obviously nothing here!
And last night, the Doctor and his men came out from the direction of the deserted building, but this is just such a place, dirty and messy everywhere, how can people live?
But they came from this direction, and where else could there be?
By any measure, this place is not that simple.
So, still unwilling. The three of them searched several times with great difficulty.
Another two hours passed, but still nothing. They were too tired to straighten up.
"Alas~"
There is no hope to seek, not only the body is tired, but the heart is also tired.
The fat man shouted, give up, and said that this was originally a damn deserted building, there was nothing in the first place, and there would be no one, let's go back.
Tong Xiaolai is still looking for it. He didn't know how tired he was, but he just wasn't reconciled! He couldn't let it go. Along the way, he has worked so hard and paid so much, this is his last hope, but now, even this last hope has a feeling of being torn, crushed, and trampled.
He was unwilling, he was unwilling, he was unwilling to go back like this......
Tong Xiaolai sat slumped on the ground, no matter how dirty the floor was, he didn't feel dirty, because looking at his useless self, he felt that he was even dirtier. It's sad, it's ridiculous, it's useless, you can't do anything.
I can't forget Xia Yuxuan's sustenance before leaving for ten years, I can't forget Xia Yuxuan's expectant eyes in the ninth year, and I can't forget my sworn promises.
promised to bring back the nine-year-old Tong Xiaolai as promised, but now, in addition to all the vows that cannot be fulfilled, what remains is the useless self. How much he loves Xia Yuxuan, and how sad he is now.
He couldn't stand himself brazenly standing in front of Xia Yuxuan, telling her how incompetent, useless, and dejected he was saying sorry in front of her.
He knew that Xia Yuxuan would forgive him, and although he was sad, he would smile and comfort him, telling him that it didn't matter, I knew you had worked hard. But he couldn't stand that kind of self, he didn't allow himself to fail so much in front of her, never to.
Tong Xiaolai cried, lying on his knees, wiping his tears, the dirty dust on his hands smeared his face, and his dusty face looked like a little flower cat.
There are four floors in this building, the stairs are against the wall, and there is no one until the fourth floor, Tong Xiaolai sat at the staircase on the fourth floor, beating his chest, and he really wanted to beat himself to death.
Tong Xiaolai angrily pounded the wall several times in his tears. "Knock knock!" Inadvertently pushed a piece of wall that looked inconspicuous and protruded.
As soon as Tong Xiaolai pushed in, there was a series of loud "clicks" behind him, and then, the stairs leading from the fourth floor to the top appeared!
The staircase leading to the upper floor was pushed out of the wall, as if hidden inside the wall.
Ben came to the fourth floor, the floor had been capped, and the wall above his head was sealed, but when the stairs up the fourth floor appeared, the ceiling above the fourth floor automatically opened, and there was an opening that could be passed up.
Tong Xiaolai opened this mouth, but he paid for tears. Finally, the tears paid off, and the cliff survived!
There is no time to shed tears, things have taken a new turn, and there are new tasks waiting for them, Tong Xiaolai looked at the new staircase, wiped his tears, and cheered up again.
Rescue yourself nine years later, not only to fulfill the promise made to her, but also to do everything you can to deal with the robot.
Tong Xiaolai's eyes became more determined, leading his brothers, walking in the front, and cautiously going upstairs.
The three of them went up one floor from the fourth floor, and when they came up, they found, oh, it turned out to be a rooftop.
They arrived at the roof of the deserted building, a rooftop that had a deliberately hidden entrance.
As soon as the three of them went to the rooftop, they saw a person standing on the edge of the rooftop, ready to jump.
"Suffered!" Seeing someone preparing to jump off the building, the fat man's first reaction was to stop him.
