Chapter 97: The Underground Chamber
The two Black Tower's sparkling eyes met in the darkness for a moment, revealing their snow-white teeth.
They reached open another door in the wall, pushing them in, and then the door slammed shut behind them.
It was a spacious room with lights on all four walls, not bright enough, but enough to see.
The house was empty, the wallpaper and wainscoting on the walls were suspiciously charred black, broken, and the wooden floors had been charred, and it was clear that this was the scene of a fire, but it was unknown how many years had passed.
Chenchen still seemed to be able to smell the burnt smell in the air, and could even feel a strange burning sensation on his scalp and neck.
The two of them looked around, and found nothing other than the door they had just entered, anything that could be called a door or a window. What's next? The two of them glanced at each other, and a chill felt down their spines.
Walking around the house, Chenchen found a hole, yes, a hole that went straight to the ground, with stone steps winding down, and the stairs had no fences, no handrails.
Jung Hee-tae also saw this "exit" and said, "It seems that the staircase handrails and fences were burned in that fire, and I don't know if there are any ......." ”
The last two words were not spoken, and the atmosphere was weird enough, and I couldn't scare myself like this anymore.
"Could this be the legendary secret passage to the underground of the gymnasium? Are you sure there's a party down there? Chenchen had a feeling that he was about to cross.
Zheng Xitai listened attentively, and the underground was so quiet that he couldn't hear any movement in the tomb, but he still looked calm, nodded and said, "Well, it should be down here, don't be afraid, I'm an atheist, go down and have a look." ”
As soon as the two of them cautiously walked down the stairs, they saw two gun-colored metal doors facing them, and with a slight push, the doors opened from the inside, and as the doors opened, several torches on the stone walls on both sides suddenly brightened.
At the same time, the sound of cheerful and restless music, unbridled laughter, and screams immediately faintly came from the depths of the passage, and although it sounded a little distance, the cheerful atmosphere seemed to reduce the gloom and musty smell of the long passage in front of him.
The two men walked into the passageway, the door slammed behind them, and they stepped on the uneven ground under their feet, wadling through small puddles of water that appeared in small puddles towards the place where there was a lot of noise.
"Ahh Zheng Xitai, who is usually cool and dragging, shouted, and Chenchen looked at his line of sight and saw that a terrifying bloody handprint appeared on the wall, which was particularly shocking under the reflection of the torches on the wall.
The two of them continued to walk forward, but fortunately, the light in front of them became brighter and brighter, and the chaotic sound gradually became louder.
When they looked up again, the dazzling lights, the aroma of delicious food rushed to their faces, and the laughter and talking were endless, it turned out that they were already in an extraordinarily spacious space, and the room was full of young men and girls with fragrant clothes and sideburns......
"Come on in, it's safe to come here." Amanda squeezed her eyebrows and pulled Chenchen and Zheng Xitai into the room, and then closed the big wooden door with her hand.
Zheng Xitai had a strange expression on his face, obviously very uncomfortable with Amanda's enthusiasm, but Chenchen felt that the word "safety" in Amanda's mouth was very ironic.
The house was as empty as an abandoned factory building, with ugly pipes on the roof and walls exposed, and even thick dust and cobwebs could be seen on them.
The light of the strong white gas lamp illuminated the dust particles in the air clearly, and when he first entered the door, Chenchen even dared not breathe.
The house had a whole wall of rough stone, leading to a high roof, which at first glance looked a bit like a craggy cave wall, with a blazing flame in the arched hearth beneath the gravel, and the edges of the fireplace were blackened with smoke.
In front of the fireplace is a lavish oval white plush carpet with polished silver trays and crystal goblets in the center, filled with a red liquid that looks like grape juice.
Amy and Fat Vicky were sitting on the carpet with their drinks, their faces pink in the light of the fire.
In the center of the room is a circle of luxurious black leather sofas, in the glitzy style of the Gilded Age of the United States at the beginning of the last century. In the middle of the four groups of three seats are single-seat smoking chairs and square corner tables. The sofa is arranged in a hollow shape, and next to it is a large rocking chair covered with animal skin cushions.
The sofa was very large, it looked a little old, the corners of the corners had long been worn white, and there was a large mouth on the back of one of them, and the skin was pulled down, revealing a dark yellow sponge inside, like a monster grinning and crying.
Near the other wall is a three-fold mirror screen, behind which is a row of palace-style carved sideboards, which are filled with a variety of colorful meats, cheeses, fruits, snacks and drinks, with fashionable and alternative wine bottles and brightly colored fruits, which make the sideboard mysteriously dilapidated.
Chenchen and Zheng Xitai were led to the sofa and sat down, Amanda pointed to the drinks and snacks on the coffee table, and said, "The people haven't come yet, let's wait a little longer, you're welcome, eat and drink as much as you want." ”
Don't look at the back of the sofa is shabby and dirty, but the front is kept smooth and clean, dusty, Chenchen carefully sat on it, feeling that this old-fashioned sofa is deep and wide, and it is still quite comfortable.
In the middle of a circle of sofas is the hard cement floor, a huge and wide wooden coffee table stands there magnificently, the boxy edge of the knife and axe looks very ordinary, and the center of the bottom of the coffee table has only a stocky round carved solid wood leg, which should be the furniture style of the beginning of the last century.
Chenchen looked at the large, bulky pieces of furniture, wondering how they had been brought in through the narrow passage he and Jung Hee-tae had just walked into.
He got up from the couch and walked in alone, and found that there was a room inside, and in the room there was a huge Harkness round table.
Continuing to walk inside, he saw a carved wooden door, and he carefully unscrewed the handle of the wooden door, opened it wide, and saw that inside was a room that looked like a bedroom.
"Charlie, what are you doing here alone? Our game is about to begin," Amanda called out to him outside the door, and he had to follow Amanda back down the hall.
Two humming, dilapidated air conditioners, of course the ventilation equipment, slowly blew a molten smoke, and the blazing fire in the fireplace beeped the branches of the maple that had been dry all summer, and the flames licked at the thick gravel walls.
