As soon as I got close to the staircase, I could smell a lot of rust, and I reached out and grabbed the handrail, and the touch from it was extremely rough, like touching sandpaper with very thick grains.

The staircase was rusted like this, and it might not be able to bear the weight of two people, so I waved my hand at Li Huaishan and motioned for him to stand in place and wait for a while.

Li Huaishan nodded at me and stopped near the staircase.

As soon as my front foot landed on the stairs, there was a "click" sound under my feet, and the rust on the stairs could not bear my weight and was crushed on the spot.

The sound was so loud because of the silence in the room that I felt it could even go down the wall to the top floor of the storeroom.

When the crumbling stopped, I pricked up my ears and listened carefully to the movement of the people upstairs.

After a long time, there was no sound from upstairs.

I was emboldened, and I pressed the weight of my whole body against the stairs, and there was another rusty crackling click, and I even felt a slight bend in the stairs under my feet.

There was still no sound upstairs, and I guessed that either the people up there were sleeping soundly, or they were deliberately keeping quiet.

I was careful with every step, but the thick layer of rust was beyond my control, and every time I moved, there was a cracking sound under my feet.

In this extremely quiet environment, the sound of feet is also particularly harsh.

It took me two or three minutes to walk up a short staircase, and when my feet stepped on the ground on the second floor, I felt a little soft to the touch, as if someone had laid a plush carpet on this floor.

Since all the windows were sealed, there was no other light source on this floor, and the entire floor was almost completely in deep darkness except for the faint light that came in from the third and first floors.

At this time, there was a series of "clicks" on the stairs behind me - Li Huaishan also followed.

I took two steps deeper into the room.

Although there is a blanket under my feet, when I walk on it, I still make a very dull footsteps, and even if I deliberately lower my steps, the footsteps still sound very clear.

The reason for this is not only because the surroundings are so quiet, I feel that my footsteps are invisibly amplified, and the sound is very concentrated, normally, in such a large warehouse, all the sounds should sound scattered.

When Li Huaishan climbed to the second floor, I had already reached the south wall of this floor.

Reaching out and touching the wall, I could clearly feel the roughness and dampness of the wood, no wonder my footsteps were amplified, someone must have spread damp wood on all four walls of this floor, and plush blankets on the ground, all of which have a good sound effect, not only to make the sound concentrated, but also to isolate the noise outside.

This place does not seem to be a storeroom, but a well-kept practice hall or dance hall.

Li Huaishan groped his way up to me, almost biting my ear and whispering, "The space is not right." ”

Ever since I followed Wu Lin through the broken space, my heart tightened as soon as I heard the word "space".

Through the faint light passing through the entrance of the third floor, I vaguely saw the outline of Li Huaishan, and I also leaned towards him, and asked in a voice that only he could hear, "What did you find?" ”

Li Huaishan: "The space on this floor is obviously smaller than that on the first floor. ”

I looked around, and there was only a large black shadow near the wall, and only a little light near the entrance of the building.

In such a place where it is difficult to see five fingers, on what basis did Li Huaishan conclude that the space on the second floor was obviously smaller than that on the first floor?

When I couldn't figure it out, Li Huaishan pressed his head in front of my ear again and whispered, "The wall may have a mezzanine." ”

I frowned: "How can you tell?" ”

Li Huaishan said: "The walls are too thick. ”

His tone was firm, but I was still confused, there was nothing to see near the wall except shadows, how did he know that the wall was too thick.

He hadn't touched the wall, and he probably wouldn't have known that it was lined with wet wood.

I felt strange in my heart, but now it is indeed not the time to gossip, so I can only put aside my doubts for the time being, pat Li Huaishan's arm, and take him to the staircase leading to the third floor.

Even if the wall does have a mezzanine, I can't smash the wall open to see it now, I can only go up to the top floor to see the situation first.

It's hard to tell how many floors a steel frame house like this one has, but when I went into the backyard, I paid attention to the back wall of the storeroom, there are four rows of windows on it, but the top row of windows is far from the roof, so I guess the storeroom is either four or five floors.

Walking on the stairs leading to the third floor, there was still a "click" sound under my feet, at first I lowered my pace and walked slowly, but when I walked to the middle of the stairs, I felt that there was a yin qi entrenched on the third or fourth floor, although the yin qi was very light, but it condensed into a section, and it could not be dispersed outside at all, if I was not so close to it, I would not have reacted to it at all.

It seems that there are indeed unclean things in this old storeroom, and the bear children who stole the car hurriedly left the first floor, perhaps under the influence of that thing.

I realized that the furry children might be in danger, so I immediately quickened my pace, jumped up to the third floor like the wind, and just after I got out of the staircase, the yin qi that had been hovering over my head fluctuated first, and then drifted to a higher place.

It may have wanted to rush directly out of the roof of the warehouse, but after floating six or seven meters high, it seemed to be dragged by an invisible force, and suddenly stopped in place, and after that, it didn't move.

Things are a little more complicated than I thought, and I'm afraid there is more than one evil creature lodged in this storeroom.

No matter how many evil things there were, they should have sensed the breath of me and Li Huaishan, but from beginning to end, they had no intention of showing their faces.

I flipped the Nether Treasure in my hand and pouted helplessly.

They should have sensed the spirit on the Netherworld Treasure so they didn't dare to show up, but since they were afraid of the Netherworld Treasure, why didn't they leave here?

I pondered these questions as I rolled my eyes and took in the scene around me.

It has become my habit to go to the tomb several times, make a trip, and observe the surrounding environment first when I go to a new place.

The more detailed we know about the environment, the easier it is to save our lives when danger is approaching.

In the middle of the floor there is a table with a candle that has just been lit in the southeast corner.

The candles were flickering, the ground was flickering, the faint light could not reach the edge of the room, and I could only faintly see some tall shadows near the walls, but I couldn't see what they were.

It wasn't until Li Huaishan went upstairs that I cautiously touched the nearest wall.

Li Huaishan followed silently less than half a meter behind me.

As I approached the wall, I faintly heard a rush of breathing.

The voice came from a shadow directly in front of me, and it sounded rapid, but laborious, as if someone had been choked by the neck and was struggling to take his last breath.

Human life is at stake, and I don't dare to hold it up, so I immediately took out a flashlight from my pocket.

Before I could press the light, Li Huaishan lit his flashlight, and the beam of light swept diagonally over the left side of my shoulder, illuminating a face floating in mid-air.

The face was three meters high, pale in the light of a flashlight, and at first glance, it looked like a dead man's head hanging from the top of a wall.

Li Huaishan immediately stepped forward, and I quickly reached out and grabbed his shoulder.

He didn't seem to understand why I was stopping him, so he immediately turned his head and shouted at me in a low voice, "This man is alive!" ”

I lit my flashlight, shone on the ground in front of me, and whispered to Li Huaishan, "You can see clearly before you do it." ”

In the light, there stood a strangely shaped stool, which was more than a foot wide but more than a meter high, and looked like a sawn stilt.

The person I saw with Li Huaishan just now was standing on this high stool, and when Li Huaishan lit the flashlight, it just happened to illuminate his face.

If you don't look below, you might mistake the person in front of you for being suspended in mid-air, but when I came in, I noticed the shadows leaning against the wall, and I noticed that their silhouettes looked a bit like slender bamboo shoots growing out of the ground, in other words, these shadows had a very solid support point on the ground. So when I saw the face, I first judged by the sound of my breathing that it was a living person, and then concluded that he should be standing on a relatively high object, rather than being hung in the air.

Thanks to the fact that I first observed the environment when I came up, otherwise, the person in front of me might have been woken up by me and Li Huaishan.

Then I slapped the man in the face again.

I didn't see it clearly in a hurry, but now I noticed that his eyebrows were drawn thin and long, and his face seemed to have a thick foundation, the upper half of his face was a little unrecognizable, and the lower half of his face should be white foundation.

I don't have much research on makeup, but looking at the makeup on this person's face, it doesn't look like normal makeup, but it's closer to the makeup on the stage.

Later, my eyes fell on his neck again, and I saw that his neckline was so tight that the flesh on his neck bulged.

The light continued to sweep downward, and I realized that the man standing on the barstool was actually wearing a long white dress.

Li Huaishan picked up the flashlight and swept the light around, and in the process of moving the light spots, several more men standing on the barstool appeared.

Everyone wore nondescript makeup on their faces and wore a very tight long skirt.
