Chapter 51: Elven Mouse
This gate is an old-style openwork carved gate, and five plum blossoms are carved on the side of the door, which are depicted with gold lacquer, which is lifelike. The second and fourth of them have a layer of blood floating on them, which is more dazzling than the other three. I took a deep breath and reached out to hold down the second and fourth, and a hole appeared silently in the side panels, and a row of steps descended into the darkness.
No wonder Yue Hongxu basically doesn't go downstairs, is she guarding this secret? And the owner of the wedding dress, does he also know this secret and deliberately lure people into the trap?
I looked at the entrance of the cave for a long time, quite hesitant, should I go in? The owner of the wedding dress is also inside, obviously I haven't figured out whether it's friend or foe, and going in by myself is not the same as being in the mouth of a sheep? What if this secret door leads to the outside? I look at the pointer on my phone that is fixed on the pointer that has no signal, and no one can help you overcome your fear...... Be sure to find a way to fend for yourself.
I gritted my teeth and crept carefully through the mouth of the cave, down the sixth step, and there was a sound of pricking behind me, and when I looked back, the hole closed silently again. There was darkness in front of me, darkness beyond words.
I leaned against the wall, first stretched out my footsteps to probe, and then dared to step on it with confidence. I know that now I am walking in the wall of the room on the second floor of the Yue family, in addition to the smell of the air caused by the impermeable reason, there is also a strange smell, faintly, which is often smelled in life, but I can't remember it for a while. Counting the steps as he walked, level one, level two...... Fifty steps later, my foot hit a hard object and my toes hurt. I reached out and fumbled, my fingers touched a round handle, and in an instant, I understood that this was another door.
I held my breath and slowly twisted the doorknob, and with a push, the door opened.
My tears flowed down my face.

The light, stronger than it was at twelve o'clock in the middle of the day, rushed at us. The light was so bright that I was looking up, and I couldn't help but cover my eyes with my hands, I was used to the darkness below, but at this moment I suddenly saw a strong light, and suddenly my eyes stinged, and my eyes were blind, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
It took me a long time to recover, open my blurry eyes, and see the scene behind the door. It turned out to be a huge room, the pink walls were uncomfortably clean, and there was only one lamp on the top, which was white and dangling, as if it had been shaking and shaking to the point that the human shape was dizzy.
The room was strangely furnished, looking like an operating room, with metal stands, glassware, microscopes, syringes, a series of scalpels, and a medical dissecting table...... There is also a faint taste of formalin. There were a few empty cages in the corners, and if I wasn't mistaken, they were supposed to be used for small animals, such as white beaver rats, rabbits, and the like.
Operating tables, shadowless operating lights, and all kinds of surgical tools are available in this narrow room. On the rectangular table in the middle, there are several small utensils. I looked down a few times and didn't realize it, it was probably a test tool in a medical trial, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. I turned around and looked, and at this time, a beaver rat appeared on the table, I don't know where it came from, unlike Yue Ziji's pet, with snow-white scalp hair and blood-red eyes. It glanced at me, didn't bark, and sped through the apparatus, jumping off the table, as if it were familiar with the road. If I hadn't looked back, I wouldn't have noticed this little creature moving like the wind. It stood at the exit of the tunnel, turned around and looked at me again, but still didn't call, and a few vertical jumps were gone.
I vaguely felt that something was wrong, the eyes of this white beaver rat were blood-red and shining, faintly shining with a strange light. I'm afraid it's not your average pet, but at this moment, my attention was drawn to something on the soles of my feet. It was a small yellowed piece of newspaper, I picked it up and looked at it, and the palm-sized fragment of the newspaper had a small picture on the left and several rows of words on the right. The picture is a group photo of two people, vaguely two men, one old and one young, wearing white coats, with blurred faces, the background is a mountain forest, which is completely different from the local mountain forest, except for the old trees, flowers and plants are not growing, the branches and leaves of those trees are wide and thick, completely blocking the sun's rays, and there is no sign of light inside, so to speak, it is like a lush primeval forest, and you can almost feel the gloomy atmosphere emanating from it, and there must be unknown dangers inside. It seems to be an undeveloped area of deep mountains and old forests!
On the right side of the picture is written a column of words: there are still some words below, all of which are vertical, traditional characters, and have been bitten off a lot by insects and ants, I only recognize them as East characters, and the others are incomplete. East? Is it the old forest of the Northeast?
It's an old newspaper, or someone who is engaged in collecting will like it. I was bored and stopped looking down. Flip it over, and on the back is a current affairs report with a specific date on it: the eighth day of September in the 28th year of the Republic of China. The first year of the Republic of China was 1912, so to speak, this newspaper was in 1939, the first year of the September 18 Incident, and the situation was very grim.
I searched carefully, and there was not a single word in the room except for this fragment of the newspaper. I sighed in disappointment, and suddenly remembered that I had heard someone coming down this staircase, and at the end of the staircase was this room, and there was only one passage in this room, which was the staircase from which I had come down. So where did the woman in the wedding dress go? My heart beat faster, the temperature in the room dropped sharply, and the lights were not only dazzling, but also seemed to flicker non-stop!
"Ah......h
I was shocked, and I heard that it was Gao Qiuwu's voice, and it came from the secret passage. I was a little blindsided, so I desperately twisted open the door and rushed up the tunnel. As soon as I stepped up the steps, I noticed something strange and stopped. When I came down just now, it was very dark in the dark tunnel, and now there is a faint fluorescence flowing. I looked around and didn't see a light source. Because of this fluorescence, the dark passage is clearly visible, which is not the same as the darkness just now. But I was frightened, I stood on tiptoe, and for a moment I was out of place.
"Ah......h To go or not to go? Thoughts flew in my brain for a while, and every thought was just a flash, vague and uncertain. Gao Qiuwu's screams came one after another, as if it was a summons. Summoning, my heart moved, and I didn't dare to go up more and more. Hide for a while, I said to myself, panting and twisting the doorknob as I prepared to head back into the basement.
The door opened, and under the white light, the light gray concrete floor was densely covered with white beaver rats. I rubbed my eyes in disbelief, yes, the beaver rats were all standing upright on their hind legs like humans, their eyes like two drops of blood, flashing an eerie bright red. I seemed to see the constant stench of blood-spurted under the flickering shadowless lights, slowly flowing along the cracks in the floor, and finally being greedily licked clean by the rats in the corner.
It's horrible! I snapped through the door. At the same time, a swarm of thousands of beaver rats swooped up like arrows from a string and slammed against the door, with a banging sound, like heavy rain knocking on the door. Then after a short silence, there was a tuk-tuk knock on the door, and if I didn't know what was going on behind the door, I would have thought that someone was knocking, and I would have opened it, and the consequences would have been ......
I only feel creepy when I think of so many beaver rats, and the knock on the door makes my stomach chill for a while. And...... I seemed to see a black figure emerge from the swarm of rats in front of me, a "humanoid" made up of a large number of rats.
Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, I bowed down and rushed up the dark passage.
It will be there soon. Instead of staying with so many beaver rats walking upright, it is better to be with Gao Qiuwu and Yue Hongxu. At least the other party is a human being, and I can guess their behavior and understand their thoughts. Even if it were to die at their hands, it would be better than being eaten by thousands of white beaver rats.
The stairs came to an end in the blink of an eye, but there was no exit, and the dark stairs were still stairs, and the stairs were endless, and at first glance there seemed to be no end. I turned back in shock, and there were steps behind me, but they were slowly sinking into the darkness. As I flew away, my face was still facing the rats, and I was shocked to see countless pairs of faint blood-red eyes jumping and falling, rapidly approaching my location. Those rats leaped like flying, dozens of yards away from a jump, and more than a dozen yards high from the ground, because there were too many of them, and their strength was very strong, they were no longer running close to the ground, and they were extremely fast, not only not slower than human runs, but also faster than a line!
I saw a swarm of rats rise and fall and jump vertically, like meteor projectiles. Wherever the rats passed, there was not an inch of land, and even the concrete buildings had to be bitten a few times. It just crushed the darkness down. I had no choice but to keep running without stopping. My heart was beating faster and faster, as if it was about to burst through my chest. The darkness chased my footprints, eating up every step behind me. I'm going to die of a heartbeat, I thought, the sweat of the bean was dripping down, my steps were getting sluggish and heavy, and I heard my own wheezing, like the sound of bellows, snorting......
When the swarm came to an end, I said to myself, I'm going to die. If you continue like this, you will soon be caught up by the rats, and in less than three seconds, you will be eaten without even bones left. When this thought flashed through his mind, a door suddenly appeared in front of him, and the steps that had been endless suddenly came to an end. I mustered the last of my strength and rushed into the door, holding on to it, my body shaking, still not forgetting to turn around and take a look. There was only darkness behind me, but the ups and downs of my eyes slowly fell, like I threw a handful of red marbles from here.
