It has been four hours since Rowan arrived at the library and archives located on the east side of the mysterious house, and the entire library is divided into five floors, which are basic science, humanities reading, historical documents, strange stories, and myths and legends.

The area of the library on each floor is very large, and the books are stored in the form of data, except for the original book, so you can imagine the huge amount of books in this library.

In addition to these five floors, there are two underground floors, both of which belong to the secret room, which is full of precious books, archives and other things, no one is allowed to enter without the director's instructions, in addition to all-round electronic monitoring and protection, these two floors are guarded by a retired former armed force or investigation department captain, Luo Wen has never known what is worth being so cautious about this broken place, but Luo Wen's target is the third underground layer, this news was leaked to him by Liang Guo, and there are very few people in the entire institute who know about it.

From this point of view, Rowan's original understanding of the library was incomplete, and may even be a forgery, but the information department wanted people to know about it, which surprised Rowan.

But what made Rowan even more puzzled was that after searching here for four hours, there was no clue at all, and he even quickly figured out the location of each cockroach nest, but there was no clue to enter the bottom, so he had no choice but to return to the hall on the first floor.

Rowan took a book on fluid mechanics and leaned against the bookcase and pretended to read it, but his eyes looked around from time to time, and the four elevators could only go up.

Rowan put the book back on the shelf, pacing between the shelves, and began to analyze the footprints on the ground that might take hundreds of millions of dollars.

Finally, a few sets of footprints were finally discerned from the mess of footprints, leading from the diameter of the door to a doorway on the side of the library. Rowan didn't delay, pretending to walk towards the door casually, but when he arrived at the door, Rowan found that the word "bathroom" was written on the door.

Rowan looked a little annoyed that his judgment had made such a big mistake, but he pushed the door in order not to arouse suspicion.

Inside the restroom is a common washbasin with three hand basins, then the men's restroom on the left and the women's restroom on the right, Rowan pushed open the door of the men's restroom and looked inside, there were a total of five toilets, and above the third toilet was a vent, which immediately caught Rowan's attention.

Rowan first checked each toilet stall to make sure that there was no one inside, and then came under the vent, jumped up and hooked the filter of the vent, and Rowan looked into the vent.

The vent is about 30 centimeters wide, the outer filter is very firm, the inner wall of the vent is a very smooth cermet material, and it begins to become a very fine filter at a distance of 50 centimeters inside the vent.

Rowan jumped down and looked up at the vent, which was simply not something that humans could pass through, and it was unlikely that even an incorporeal ghost would want to pass through such a tight defense.

Rowan walked out of the men's bathroom in disappointment, leaned on the sink and looked at himself in the mirror, and then fell into thought, he knew that if he wanted to hide something, it would be simple, because this is what Rowan is good at, but Rowan is also competing with himself, his innate curiosity is greatly challenged here, because unlocking secrets is what he is good at, and this feeling of guarding the vault without a key is what Rowan is most annoyed by.

He took out a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth, the two fingers stained with dust made the white cigarette leave two black and gray fingerprints, Rowan turned on the faucet and prepared to wash his hands, but when he washed his hands at the hand basin, a detail flashed into Rowan's eyes, that is, the valve of the faucet in the middle actually had traces of twisting in the opposite direction!

The traces of this friction are very light, and the number of twists is not much, which is definitely against the norm, Rowan tried to twist the water valve in the opposite direction, but what came from his hand was obviously the feeling when the water valve was twisted to the tightest, Rowan was afraid that the water valve would be broken if he increased his strength, so he stopped in time.

Rowan tried to press the water valve down again, this time the water valve sank in response, Rowan twisted the water valve in the opposite direction again, and heard a "click", and the marble platform under the hand basin suddenly moved into the wall, revealing a staircase large enough for two people to walk side by side. Rowan raised his eyebrows, this unexpected and reasonable discovery made Rowan a little excited!

This old mechanical mechanism is definitely not contemporary, it should have been installed at the beginning of the mystery, so it seems that the history of this underground chamber is not short, and it may even be the same age as the entire building. Rowan went down the stairs, and the stone countertop behind him "clicked" back to its place, and Rowan turned around to look for the mechanism to open the door from the inside, but found nothing, so it seemed that there was only one way left to go down.

There is an electric lamp every three meters in the stairway, from the shape of the electric lamp and the degree of oldness, it is speculated that the installation time should be between the late Republic of China and the early liberation period, the long wires are exposed outside, all the way forward, you can still see a rusty torch stand every few meters.

After a while, the staircase disappeared, and a long corridor of blue bricks came into view.

Rowan looked at his watch, the depth of the descent has exceeded ten meters, this corridor is at least three hundred meters long, twenty meters wide, completely paved with thick green bricks, arranged densely and tightly, the wear on it is not bad, the left and right sides are densely packed rooms, the doors are the kind of dark locks from decades ago, judging from the degree of wear, the number of openings should not be much, and there is good ventilation here, and there is no rust.

At this point, Luo Wen's heart did rise, if there was no mistake in his previous news, this should be the basement of the library, that is to say, there should be a retired captain-level person guarding here, and the footprints on the ground are shallow and difficult to distinguish, which makes it impossible for Rowan to guess where the old captain may be hiding.

Rowan walked forward slowly, while alerting for a possible sudden attack, while observing the surroundings, there was no electronic system such as camera laser rays in the entire corridor, which made Rowan feel uneasy, such a secret place, there would be no guarding equipment, then there is only one possibility, the people guarding here are very strong!

It's so strong that if he still has an anomaly here, then those guards won't be able to do anything!

In the corridor, only Rowan walked quietly, but in this silent corridor, it was particularly clear and deafening, and Rowan observed the surrounding situation attentively.

Just as Rowan walked to the middle of the corridor, a deep voice appeared in Rowan ear: "Are you the person in the house?" ”

Rowan subconsciously held his footsteps, he couldn't even distinguish the direction of the voice, Rowan gently raised his heels, and pointed his toes on the ground to prevent a sudden attack from Lu Jian.

Rowan looked around and said "um", and then the voice sounded again: "What about the director's warrant?" ”

Rowan heard the direction of the voice clearly this time, and it came from a room less than fifty meters in front of him, Rowan didn't dare to act rashly, and replied honestly: "No." ”

"Oh?" The voice looked a little surprised, it is estimated that there should be no one who can find this place without a warrant, and it is even more impossible to find someone who dares to come down here.

Then the door squeaked open, and an old man about sixty years old came out of the room, the old man was holding a folding fan in his left hand, holding a tea cup in his right hand, but he had long hair on his head and a straight nose and a square mouth.

The old man looked at Luo Wen, and then said, "It's a pity to be young. ”

Before Luo Wen could react to the meaning of the old man's words, he felt that there was a flower in front of him, and as soon as the white shadow arrived, he came straight to him! Luo Wen relied on the ability of the evil eye to barely see clearly, it turned out that the old man raised his palm and went straight to him, Luo Wen forcibly twisted his body, tilted his head sideways, and the old man's palm rubbed against Luo Wen's jaw, and the sharp palm wind made Luo Wen's breath stagnant.

The old man turned around and looked at Rowan with a missed palm, said "yes", and then turned around and slapped again! Rowan flashed again and was about to dodge, the old man then took out three palms in a row to run to Luo Wen's Baihui, chest, and lower yin, Rowan didn't dare to slack off, bowed his head to dodge the first palm, and jumped back with his chest and abdomen to dodge the second palm, but when the third palm arrived, Rowan's body was still like a curved bow in the air, and there was nowhere to borrow at this time, this palm must be hit!

I saw that Luo Wen suddenly reached out in mid-air and tapped the wrist of the old man's palm, and with the help of force, his legs took off one hundred and eighty degrees in reverse, and he actually used the old man's arm as the fulcrum and his legs made a big circle in the air, and he wanted to kick the old man's Tianling Gai with his back heel. If this blow is hit, the light person's brain will burst instantly, and the entire skull will have to work in the chest cavity, and the heavy person may be split in half, and in either case, the result will be killed on the spot!

This move is even if Luo Wen is in a hurry, and it has been planned for a long time, but the old man grabbed Luo Wen's legs with his left hand, threw Luo Wen out of the way, and fell heavily on the wall!

Rowan didn't have time to pain, and his head was filled with surprise, not to mention how much force Luo Wen's kick had, just saying that this speed was not ordinarily fast, but this old man didn't seem to need reaction time, and he hit the key to break Luo Wen's move at once, and how much strength does it take to fight this kick!

Not only that, but the old man has been using his right hand to make a close move between a few moves, not using his left hand, and the tea cup in his left hand has not been spilled.

The old man looked at Luo Wen in surprise and asked, "Who are you Liang Mad Dog?" ”

Luo Wen knelt down on one knee and slowly stood up, stared at the old man and replied: "It's the adoptive father of the younger generation" The old man Ha Luha smiled: "You little puppy, this trick scorpion tail needle has a bit of the taste of your old man, and the timing and size are good." Look at the age of the ghost catcher, you can learn seventy-seven-eighty-eight, right? ”

Luo Wen knew in his heart that with his adoptive father Liang Fengjin's qualifications, he naturally knew the old man in front of him, and judging from the tone of this old man, his adoptive father should still be the same generation as him. Because his peers generally call Liang Fengjin Liang Mad Dog, his subordinates call him Liang Tighter behind their backs, and most of the people who call him by his name are elders.

Luo Wen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly saluted: "The juniors have indeed practiced sloppily, thank you for the mercy of the seniors just now." ”

The old man suddenly turned sideways to let go of this salute, and then smiled and continued: "Boy, no thanks, because even if you are the son of Liang Mad Dog, you can't go back today, and the rules that have existed since the day this place was built, except for the order of the director, there is no forgiveness for killing!" It stands to reason that you should call me uncle, your father was my team member, my name is Chen Tiandou, remember! ”

The voice fell, and the white light went straight to Rowan, and Rowan was ready to kick the wall to dodge, but when he was about to exert his strength, he found that the old man's two fingers had penetrated his chest and shattered Rowan's heart!

Luo Wen's eyes widened and he didn't even have a chance to shout, he only exhaled and was killed on the spot!

The old man took out his right hand full of blood, dragged Luo Wen's body to the door of a room, and threw Luo Wen's body into the room, Chen Tiandou looked at Luo Wen lying among the many white bones and took a sip of tea, poured the remaining tea on the ground next to Luo Wen's body, and said to himself: "Feng Jin, Feng Jin, my brother can't stand you." After saying that, he broke the teacup and went back to the room where he had just come.
