Chapter 117: The Gate of Hades
The crown prince and Han Yu may not fully understand the meaning of the so-called creation of human beings in my mouth, I dropped the broken stone of the statue in my hand, sometimes rumors may not really be rumors, maybe there is really a passage to the underworld.
I wiped the rain from my face, all the rumors about this school started in the basement ward of Building 19, and I think that there was the source of the rumors, and the real source of the rumors.
The three of us returned to the ward in the basement, which had been cleaned up and the patients who had been held and admitted to it had been transferred to other places, the empty basement looked particularly gloomy and silent in the rainy night, Han Yu turned on the light in the ward, and we looked through the glass door at the empty five-person ward here.
In the end, we stayed in Xu Wanjun's room, I walked in and there was nothing around, I suddenly squatted down curiously, touched the ground in the ward with my hand, and then thought of Jiang Xinyu when she was imprisoned here, she used to lie on the ground and listen to something.
I followed Jiang Xinyu's example and slowly lay on the floor, and then pressed my ears tightly to the ground, and I didn't hear any sound in my ears for a long time.
"Do you really believe there is a hell down there?" Han Yu asked.
"Jiang Xinyu and He Xiaoyu have both listened to the underground like this, and told us more than once that the underworld is below here, and we didn't believe their words, because at that time they thought it was completely a group of psychopathic crazy words, but they were doctors or maybe the underworld had another definition in their hearts." I slowly straightened up and said grimly. "But whatever it is, I'm sure they must have figured out something was wrong with it."
The prince looked around the ward, if there was any difference between the ordinary isolation wards, Xu Wanjun's room was larger than the other wards,
Han Yu half-squatted on the ground and tapped the ground with his fingers, the echo was very thick, the prince turned on the flashlight he brought and Han Yu carefully checked every place in this ward, Xu Wanjun told us about the rumors about the underworld at the beginning, of course, it was made up by her, but what did Xu Wanjun rely on to make these things up?
At that time, she was still detained and admitted to this ward, and all she could reach was the ward of less than 20 square meters in front of us, but after a round of inspection, we didn't find anything, and when we were about to leave, the prince suddenly stopped in the ward, and Han Yu and I turned our heads to see the prince staring at a wall intently.
The wall had been painted with her teeth by Jiang Xinyu with strange and bizarre patterns, but it had been quickly painted, and the prince hesitated and walked to the wall, where the illuminated wall had mottled and loosened tiny cracks.
"This wall is where Xu Wanjun hangs her painting." I said behind the prince.
"That's not right." The prince turned his head and walked out of the ward, looked around, squatted on the ground, touched it, stood up, and walked back again. "This basement is dark and damp without sunlight all day long, if the wall is repainted, it should not be easy to dry and crack, you see this wall in Xu Wanjun's ward, the wall has fine cracks, and the degree of dryness and hardness is obviously different from other places, which shows ......"
"This means that there is wind coming in through the wall, so it accelerates the drying and cracking of the wall." Han Yu took the prince's words and said.
"There's wind coming in?" I frowned, stood in front of the wall, and touched it lightly with my hand, and sure enough, a little wall ash fell off, which was obviously caused by the excessive temperature difference between indoor and outdoor. "This is the basement, and it is about three to five meters from the ground, how can there be wind coming in the wall, and it stands to reason that if there is a gap in the wall, how can the wind from outside the wall not be able to blow in?"
"Of course, the wind on the ground can't blow through the surface into the cracks in the wall, but ......," the prince said meaningfully as his gaze fell on the floor of the ward. If there is gas flowing through the wall, the only possibility is from below. ”
"Building 19 has been investigated at the time of the 403 dormitory murder, and it has also been confirmed that no gaps have been found under Building 19." I say.
"What the eye sees may not be true, and none of us have seen it." The prince shook the rosary in his hand and said calmly.
Han Yu nodded and found stones from the outside to scrape off all the loose wall ashes, what the prince said was not unreasonable, the wall ash that fell from the ground was obviously much drier than that in other places.
Han Yu suddenly thought of something, took out a Dao talisman from his body and pasted it on the crack in the wall, we were surprised to find that the Dao talisman was slightly agitated but the amplitude was not large, it was difficult to find if we didn't pay close attention to it.
"It's really windy inside the walls!" Han Yu said in surprise.
The walls of the ward, which is built several meters deep underground, should be dirt, and it is impossible for the wind to enter the wall through the surface, which only means that there are gaps in the gaps in the walls, and these gaps must lead to other places.
The three of us touched every part of this wall with our hands, until Han Yu's hand stayed in a loose place, and then pressed it hard, it turned out to be a mechanism, slowly sinking into the wall, and we heard a small roar coming from inside the wall, which should be the sound of the mechanism being triggered.
Immediately after the place where Xu Wanjun used to hang the painting on the wall, the wall was magically separated from the middle, and it was inlaid with a square mechanism with one to nine number buttons.
The sudden change in front of us made the three of us nervous and excited, judging from this digital mechanism, it should be a combination lock, but it looks like the style is not very old, it should be installed after the construction of the ward.
We walked to the wall and looked at the digital combination lock, if this was set up here by Xu Wanjun, what would the password be? Han Yu wanted to press it casually to try, but I stopped him, this is the first time we have taken the initiative to discover Xu Wanjun's secret, I think with Xu Wanjun's caution, I will definitely take into account the consequences of being discovered here, if I press it rashly, I am worried that it will trigger other organs, and what worries me the most is that it will make Xu Wanjun aware of it.
The stakes were so high that I was thinking that I should inform the butcher and ask him to send a professional codebreaker to come, when the prince suddenly raised his hand and pressed his finger on the number 1 in the combination lock.
"Xu Wanjun is such a conceited person, how can she use other numbers if she claims to be a god." The prince smiled faintly when he saw my nervous expression. "Actually, she told us the password a long time ago."
"Told us?" Han Yu and I looked at the prince in surprise.
The prince did not answer directly, and pressed the number 4 with his finger, followed by 2 and then 1......
1421231!
I suddenly understood the meaning of the prince's words, Xu Wanjun claimed to be Nuwa, she deeply believed that she was a god-like person, how could she use other names, Nuwa converted into numbers is 1421231.
Sure enough, after the prince pressed the last number 1, we suddenly heard a heavy and clear roar, as if something had collapsed, but this sound did not come from the ward, and we were surprised to see a bright light shining through the doorway when we walked out of the ward.
We nervously walked over and stood in the doorway and involuntarily took a deep breath, in fact, there was not much change, it was just an extra step in front of us, but we all knew in our hearts what it meant.
The nineteenth staircase to the basement finally appeared in front of us.
When the nineteenth staircase appears, the passage to Hades will be opened!
The rumors that have been circulating in Hede Medical College for more than 30 years have become a fact in our eyes, the mechanism in Xu Wanjun's ward can open this mysterious nineteenth step, we looked at each other and slowly stood up, there was a red button on the lower edge of the steps, I took a deep breath and looked back at the prince and Han Yu, the two of them nodded at me calmly, the moment I pressed the red button, the bodies of the three of us shook, and then the place where we stood began to sink slowly......
The moving platform took us deep underground, the light above us became more and more dazzling, and it was completely dark all around, and we didn't know where the falling platform would take us, and I looked up at the sporadic lights above as far away as starlight.
We followed the sinking platform and kept falling, and I suddenly remembered that Xiao Jiayu and He Xiaoyu had told me madly and seriously that the underworld was below here, and I suddenly had a feeling of falling into hell.
We don't know how long the platform sank until a glimmer of light appeared under our feet and with a low, thick thud, the sinking platform finally stopped, and across from us was a long passage, still dark and gloomy, and on the other side of the passage we saw a door, illuminated by bright light.
Could this be the passage to hell?
"There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no way to break into hell." Han Yu put a fearless smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at us as the first to step into the passage.
"The Buddha said that if I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell, whether it is Western Bliss or Ten Directions Hell, since there is no way back, you might as well go forward." The prince followed closely without being surprised.
I was the last person to step into the passage, and it was false to say that I was not afraid, but fortunately, there were princes and Han Yu who wanted to accompany me, and my heart was slowly and calmly, I didn't know what would be waiting for us at the end of the passage, but I was not timid to follow them.
Han Yu and the crown prince had already crossed the door at the end of the passage, they stood silently as if they had forgotten about me behind them, and the moment I also walked out, the unusually bright light made me unable to open my eyes, I stretched out my hand to cover it and found that everything was in vain, and the dazzling light penetrated through the gap.
It took me a long time to get used to the brightness here, if this is the underworld, it doesn't seem to be quite the same as I imagined, at least the underworld I imagined is definitely not as bright as here, I slowly put down the hand that was covering my eyes, and then my mouth began to open slowly, the prince and Han Yu didn't forget me behind them, they were also shocked by what was in front of them just like me.
I finally saw the rumored underworld, and at this moment I was stunned and speechless.
