24. Underground storage room
The door to the underground storage room was locked, and she found that it would be useless even if she arrived. She's such a fool.
"Guest, how did you get here?" Henry stood behind her at some point, startling her.
"It's you, why don't you walk without making a sound? Also, why do you keep suddenly appearing behind people? She said dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry." Henry was very polite, as if she was being vexatious.
"By the way, I have lost something in the pantry, can you open the door and let me go in and find it?" She said. It was just in time, and she was worried that she couldn't get in.
"What is it? I'll help you find it. ”
"It's my pen." She found out that she was quite good at lying, and the nonsense was so smooth, "It's okay, you open the door, I'll just find it myself." ”
Henry looked at her, as if assessing the truth of her words. "Okay, I'll open the door for you." Henry finally said.
Pushing open the door to the pantry, Henry turned on the ceiling light in the room for her. She found that although this was a storage room, the things inside were well organized, not the slightest mess, and it was not a replacement cheap tablecloth or a daily use of firewood, rice, oil and salt, etc., there were rows of exquisite tea sets in glass display cases, although she liked cups, but she didn't know anything about the brand of high-end teacups, she could only say that these teacups were more beautiful than any cup she had ever seen, and they exuded a warm luster in the light.
"What does your pen look like? I'll help find it too. Henry's words interrupted her thoughts.
"Silver." She's here to find out if there's any secrets here, not to admire the tea set! She secretly called herself an idiot.
Henry nodded and began to look around. She looked at everything in curiosity, except for the rather expensive tea sets, there seemed to be nothing suspicious about it - the only strange thing was the wrought iron sconces on the walls, which seemed to be only for decoration. It can't be like in the movie, just pull it and there will be a secret passage, right?
"Miss Shi, your pen won't be on the wall, will you?" Henry said suddenly.
"I just think this wall lamp is beautiful, can't I look at it twice?" She said.
"I see." Henry nodded, and from his expression he couldn't tell if he really believed her words, "This was installed when this castle was built, but now it is switched to electric lights, and it is not used anymore." ”
She replied and leaned down to pretend to be looking for something. There's no way she'll be able to find out what's going on here. But at this moment, Qian Yi actually appeared. "What are you doing?"
"Miss Shi said that her pen fell inside, and I am helping her find it." Henry replied.
It's over, she basically visited the castle with Qian Yi yesterday, and he will definitely be able to debunk her lie soon!
"I'm sorry, Miss Shi." Qian Yi suddenly said, "I have something for Henry to do, can you find it yourself first?" ”
Yes? She was stunned. Qian Yi actually believed that she had something left here? "Absolutely." Things are going according to her thoughts, but why is her heart hairy? After Qian Yi and Henry left, she boldly went to pull the wall lamp on the wall, but the wall lamp did not move. That's right, you thought this was really a movie? She grabbed her hair, so let's get out. Is she thinking too much? Perhaps Joseph was just mistaken and mistakenly thought that she had really dropped something here to tell her that. Well, let's go out and walk around.
"Wow!" As soon as I turned around, I saw Qian Yi standing at the door with a smile, almost scaring her to death. "Money Steward?! Aren't you—You're gone? ”
"Miss Shi and I are fellow villagers, so we can't be negligent in taking care of Miss Shi." Qian Yi's smile made her heart tremble.
"You're welcome." As the saying goes, when a fellow sees a fellow, it's better to be careful when you put a shot in the back.
"Yes, Miss Shi eavesdropped outside the door just now, which is indeed not a polite performance." Qian Yi said with a smile.
Qian Yi's smile made her suddenly scared, did she jump into some trap by herself? She took two steps back. "What is eavesdropping outside the door? I don't understand. ”
"Didn't you just stand outside the door and eavesdrop while I was talking to that Mr. Murrow in the room?" Qian Yi walked into the door with a strange smile and closed the door of the storage room.
She suddenly felt that she had become the turtle in the urn. "I don't know what you mean! And I didn't want to get involved......" She stepped back and backed away. Did she hit the muzzle of the gun? Or did Joseph use her curiosity to deliberately set a trap for her fool to jump into? No wonder people in the past said that curiosity killed cats!
"Don't worry, Miss Shi is not a person who voluntarily participated in the trial, and we are not going to be difficult for us." Qian Yi smiled slightly, "Of course, if Miss Shi is willing to participate, it will undoubtedly be a good experimental sample." ”
She almost choked on her own saliva. Just kidding, this can't be a large-scale experimental site where live people are used for experiments like Japan's Unit 731 back then, right?! It turned out that she was not the soft-shelled turtle caught in the urn, but the white mouse who was likely to be caught and dissected! "I, I, I'm not welcome." She shook her head so much that she barely screwed her neck off.
"Looks like you're completely unaware of our inside information here, otherwise you wouldn't be so nervous." Qian Yi took another step forward towards her.
"Inside information?"
"This is where vampires hang out." Qian Yi said indifferently.
"Isn't that just a rumor? Again, there is no conclusive evidence that the vampires are indeed here. "Heh, heh, heh, she can't live in a vampire's lair for a few days without knowing it, right?
"Well, those are indeed just outsiders' chiseled ......," Qian Yi said slowly, "Everyone in my family has a long lifespan, but the life span of the offspring produced during the inheritance is not necessarily so long, but it is still several times longer than ordinary people." ”
It's the same as Joseph said, but what does it have to do with her whether they live long or not?
"It is said that my ancestors seem to have achieved such a long life expectancy by some chance, and we have been ordered to find the secret of longevity, but we have not been able to make effective progress and find no more clues." Qian Yi said, "The extent to which the drugs we have developed can affect the life expectancy of human beings always needs to be confirmed by living organisms." ”
Ordered? On whose orders are they? Joseph? "You're spreading the word that you can live a long life here?" She asked cautiously.
Qian Yi smiled approvingly, "You are so smart." Yes, I didn't expect that there are so many people in this world who are afraid of death, and there is no worry that there are no living bodies to conduct experiments, and even those people provide a lot of money just to come here as experiments. ”
"That's because you didn't explain the risks to them at all!"
Qian Yi shook his head with a sigh, "You're wrong, Miss Shi." Didn't you hear that too? I've already said that you're in danger of becoming a vampire-like monster, but the Mr. Murrow who came with you insisted on accepting it, even sacrificing you for the opportunity. ”
