Chapter Twenty-Five: The Little Black House
When he said this, we became even more nervous, and we all looked into the distance with the flashlight in his hand.
All I could see was a lot of black and red marks on the walls and floors, like someone with a paintbrush scribbling on the wall, some big and some small.
Slowly and cautiously approaching the past, the graffiti became clearer and clearer. When I saw the graffiti completely, I was stunned, and my eyes could not take any of my eyes off the wall, and the words written on it seemed to have a magical power, which clenched my heart tightly, and made my whole body stiff and not dare to move.
The moss-dappled walls...... On the wall was a dried blood stain that read "Hitomi! Run! Wooden Hitomi! Run! Run! ”
The words had long since run out of fonts, crooked, and could barely be seen what they were, apparently written by someone in excruciating pain, just to remind the man who had come in...... My great-grandfather Hitomi Mu!
What exactly happened then? Will the person who left these words write these crooked prompts in such pain?
However, one thing is for sure, my great-grandfather Mu Hitomi escaped in the end, otherwise I guess I wouldn't be able to stand here.
"Who is Hitomi Ki?" Liu Yang's expression was also very nervous, "I don't know if he escaped in the end, these words are creepy." ”
A few of us who knew the inside story didn't say anything, only Lin Su continued: "Don't care who it is, let's go quickly, stop here, I'm hairy too." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of something, behind the third room on my left. I quickly turned my head to look over, and near the ground, I saw a gloomy face! That's not a lantern, that's a human-faced bamboo!
"Everyone be on guard, there are people around us!" I whispered a reminder, only to find that more and more faces began to peek out from behind the walls around us, followed by rustling sounds, and the temperature around us was getting colder and colder.
"it!" Liu Yang scolded and hurriedly put the waist knife in his hand in front of him, "We won't break into their nest, right?" I guess the human head hanging under the eaves is their precursor. I'm afraid I'm going to stop cooking now......"
"Don't think about dying until the last minute." As I talked to Liu Yang, my eyes kept glancing around, looking for a place to hide for a while. While hiding isn't a long-term solution, it doesn't seem like there's a better way to do it right now.
"There's a room up ahead." Kong Xian said.
I took a moment out of the guard to look at him boredly and asked, "Tell me, are there still few houses around us?" The key is not to be strong, I, as a weak girl, can smash a building with a few slaps, believe it or not? ”
"That room is different." He didn't wait for us to reply, pointed in a direction, and pulled me to run that way. Mo Ranchen and the others also followed behind and rushed over here.
As soon as the men saw that we were about to escape, they all flashed out of the back of the house and approached us at great speed. For a while, the rustling sound on the street was deafening, as if someone was doing decoration, and the back of the head of the listener hurt.
We kept running in one direction until we reached the house that Kong Xian had mentioned, and then we stopped and took two breaths. That's when I noticed that this house was really different from the others, it was completely black, and it was actually made of metal. In this dark ancient city, this all-black color is difficult to notice, and it simply blends in with the darkness of the background.
"Hurry up and get in, those things are going to catch up!" Liu Yang reminded us and desperately pushed us into the room.
I turned my head and glared at him, and scolded, "What's the hurry, this door hasn't been opened, you want to stick me to the wall?" What about using me as a poster? ”
"Oops." Liu Yang was so anxious that he couldn't wait to jump to his feet, he was at the back of the line, and those human-faced bamboos were almost behind him, and they could cut off a piece of meat for him with a little paw. But he can't help it now, the metal house in front of us is not locked at all, and it can be pried open. Its whole door is like a painting, only one door frame can be seen, but there is no doorknob or lock, it can't be opened, and we are like a dog biting a hedgehog and I don't know where to start.
When I was anxious, I saw Mo Ranchen next to me frowning all the time, as if it was not the same as the doubt in our eyes.
I whispered in his ear, "What's wrong?" ”
Mo Ranchen said: "I feel very familiar here, as if I have been here before. ”
"Can you think of a way to open the door?" I asked.
He stepped forward and pulled Kong Xian away a little, and then stretched out his hand and kept groping for this door, but it was also like a fly without a head, and he didn't find a place to start for a long time.
Liu Yang in the back has already started to work with the first few human-faced bamboos to rush up, I think the streets in this place are not too wide, with the previous method of kicking the wall and poking the eyes, it is estimated that it can last for a while.
So he yelled at Liu Yang to get out of the way! Then he brushed and rushed to the opposite side, stepped on the wall and twisted his waist to be a whirlwind chop, and chopped off the leg of a human-faced bamboo again.
I looked at the people who swarmed behind me and began to learn my move, and sighed proudly: "Livestock is livestock, learn very quickly, with a human head, no brain, what kind of ability do you have in addition to group fighting?" ”
I asked Liu Yang to follow me to poke the eyes of the human face bamboo, and Mo Ranchen over there had also made progress, he seemed to have touched a silk thread on the door, and after pulling this silk thread, many metal strips protruded from the crack of the door, which looked like a password mechanism. This makes it even more troublesome, if the password is entered correctly, it's okay, if it's wrong, according to the ancient people's fire and theft prevention brain circuit, you must have to engage in a hidden weapon!
The situation here was urgent, and Mo Yanchen didn't have time to think more about it, he kept his hand along the metal bars, then took a few deep breaths and clicked three of them, then broke them back, and then clicked the other three. There was only a creak, and the door seemed to be pulled by something, and the whole thing bounced open, revealing a black opening.
"The door is open, let's go!" I greeted Liu Yang, and then hurriedly rushed into the door with Kong Xian.
As soon as Liu Yang came in, we quickly locked the door. I only heard a prickly sound outside, which was the feeling that our nails usually scraped over the aluminum alloy plate, and I felt sick to hear it. Liu Yang was very irritable when he heard this, went up to the wall of the room and kicked it, and scolded and said, "A few more paws, Lao Tzu will take you one by one hot pot." ”
The sound outside didn't stop because of this, and we couldn't help it, so we just left it alone.
The metal house looked very messy, with some weapons piled up here and there, and some utensils for stuff, all like a blacksmith's shop, and I didn't want to look at it again, so I just found a clean place to sit and rest.
However, Mo Ranchen seems to be very interested in this room, he will pick up the weapons stacked on the ground one by one and weigh them in his hand, and he will grope for a long time on the wall with horns, like Taobao, and he doesn't know what he wants to find.
"Master Mo, have you weighed up a weapon to take advantage of? Choose one for me too. Liu Yang was also quite interested in the weapons on the ground, but after all, he had never played with this kind of big sword and spear, and he didn't know what it was easier to deal with those things outside, so he asked Mo Ranchen to give it to the staff officer.
Lin Su seemed to have found something with sharp eyes, ran to the corner of the wall, then picked up a mace, handed it to Liu Yang and said, "Da Yang, this is very in line with your rough temperament." ”
Liu Yang saw that it was recommended by Lin Su, and laughed without saying a word when he held it in his hand: "It is indeed suitable!" It's really suitable! We Lin Su just have a vision. ”
I really want to pour a basin of cold water on him, this mace is heavy to hold, but the lethality is not great, the hammer is okay, the body of the person outside is not as thick as one of my legs, this thing is estimated to be smashed, how can there be a knife to use?
However, Liu Yang now doesn't care whether the weapon is incompetent, the key is that Lin Su recommended it and gritted his teeth and said it well.
We were making a fuss when we suddenly heard a click in the corner, and it was the sound of the mechanism being activated. My heart suddenly tightened, but don't brush out tens of thousands of arrows, or put a poisonous gas or something, we can't hide now.
Turning his head to look at the direction where the sound came from, he found that there was a square opening on the ground, and on the other side, Mo Yanchen was holding his hand on the wall, and there was a depression under each of his five fingers, it should be that he activated the mechanism and opened such a secret door.
"Tut-tut." Liu Yang shook his head and sighed: "Master Mo, you are simply a killer, any kind of organ can be found by you, amazing, you are simply a craftsman." ”
Mo Ranchen ignored him, took the lead and got out of the opening, and we hurried to follow.
There is a downward ladder under this opening, which is illuminated by a flashlight, and it is very deep below, and it is estimated that it will take four or five meters to the end. Presumably, it has been closed for a very long time, and when I stand here, I can smell a musty smell that "penetrates the heart", which makes it difficult for me to breathe.
As I climbed down, I asked uncomfortably, "Won't there be no oxygen down here?" Closed for so long. ”
However, Mo Ranchen said in a very positive tone: "No, there is a vent underneath." ”
"Master Mo, why are you so familiar? Could it be that you've been to this place before? Liu Yang asked what I was thinking.
Mo Ranchen hesitated, and said with some uncertainty: "I don't know if I've been here or not, but it feels a little familiar, there should be something down here, which is very important to me." ”
We were confused by what he said, but seeing that he didn't quite understand it himself, we didn't ask any more.
When I climbed up the ladder with my feet, I still couldn't bear the strength, and the pain was terrible, so I could only strengthen my hands to make my feet easier, and when I climbed down, I sweated all over myself, as if I had just taken a sauna.
It's not like the mess above, except for the thick layer of dust, the whole arrangement is still very delicate. In the middle is a long desk with a delicate shelf on which a large knife more than a meter long is placed. There are many tablets around this knife, like a place where someone's family worships their ancestors.
But when we got closer, we found that there were no names on the tablets, only a wooden board in the shape of a tablet. And the knife enshrined in the middle is also very simple, just like Muji is produced, there is no carving and texture, only some special texture trends are designed on the handle, no shape, no special meaning, it is estimated that it is for anti-slip.
"This is my knife."
Mo Ranchen's words to himself made us all stunned, and we all cast our unexplained eyes on him.
