Chapter 064: Dungeon Atmosphere
Not quite as expected, this real treasure room was not as opulent as the promenade that had been passed before, except for the three-storey descending staircase at the beginning, which was paved with marble, and the closer you got to the ground floor, the more shabby and rough the environment became.

The rotten and loose wooden floors, the clay walls that have peeled off from the dampness, the rusty chains and bars scattered around the corners, and the old oil lamps embedded in the walls, the overall atmosphere is gradually approaching eerie.
Since in the palace area, except for the military frequency band, any wireless signal is blocked, and it is now deep underground, it is even more difficult to get in touch with the outside world through communication equipment. Therefore, the current situation is that Wu Ming and Bobu are already trapped on an isolated island, and even if Holly suddenly turns into an ugly witch with a blue face and fangs, they can't call a powerful exorcist, and can only rely on their own strength to fight against it.
However, Holly has always been very regular, her expression is relaxed, and she looks at ease, as if she is in front of the women's counter in a department store, and next to her are two unlimited human-shaped shopping cards, so proud that she barely hums a Scrooline folk tune from her nose.
Bob walked at the front of the line with a shy stomach, but he didn't do it to put on a swaggering stance, the point was that he needed to make the light on the belt buckle stand out and clear the way so that he wouldn't accidentally lead the two behind him into the gutter by the wall.
"Something doesn't seem quite right here." In the process, Bob had to complain, "Did we go wrong?" It doesn't look like a place of hidden treasure at all, but more like a private prison for the insidious king to punish his political enemies. ”
"You've got a pretty good head, little Bob." Holly gave Bob a rare approving tone, "This is the dungeon, which has been abandoned for more than two hundred years. It is only circulated in the hidden legends of the royal family, but no one is willing to confirm its real existence. ”
"Then it must be doing the same thing as I said." Bob shook his head.
This is the first time he has shown himself in front of this unparalleled female thief, and it is not an exaggeration to be a little proud.
"It's shocking, you guessed it right!" Holly said in admiration, her facial expressions perfectly matched, "The golden crown is always stained with the blood of feuds, and this is the eternal truth. ”
Wu Ming really couldn't listen to the mutual praise of the two in front of him, and snorted angrily: "Wait a minute, you haven't answered the most important question - this doesn't look like a place to hide treasures, no matter how you look at it, should you give us a reasonable explanation first?" ”
Holly already knew that she couldn't get away with it, so she laughed twice: "Why are you always so suspicious? It doesn't do me any good to lie to you, how can I be so stupid and not do a safe deal, and have to calculate to bring in more enemies for myself? ”
"Who knows, maybe it's your professional nature to be insecure." Wu Ming said angrily. He probably didn't even realize that his tone at the moment was more eerie than his surroundings.
Wu Ming couldn't tell what was wrong, he only felt that he had lost his patience, and the anger in his heart was crashing upwards one by one. After walking for so many minutes, no matter how long the dungeon is, it is almost the end, but he has not felt the breath of the ark of the covenant at all, there is no doubt that this more than an hour is a toss, maybe the female thief still has tricks, if he is on the road again because of this, he can't get out smoothly, the next plan will inevitably fall through one by one, even if Furukawa attracts the murderous intruder according to the plan, he will be powerless, he can only flee on his own.
And before all the bad conjectures came true, Wu Ming felt that he still had one more task to complete - to teach this cunning female thief an unforgettable lesson!
It might be a little difficult to take out her, especially since Bob is still on the scene, and if you really want to play at her full martial arts level, I'm afraid you'll have to take a lot of trouble to cover up the past afterwards. However, the environment here is relatively favorable, and Wu Ming has countless opportunities to cause accidents.
The woman's sensitivity seemed to be playing a role again, and Holly obviously noticed Wu Ming's unhappiness, and should have guessed the potential danger that came with it, so she took the initiative to show weakness, sighed softly and said: "You may not feel anything about it, or you may feel it, but under the control of subconscious self-protection, you deliberately ignore ......"
Bobu inexplicably spread his big hands: "What does it feel?" I didn't feel anything. ”
Wu Ming stared at Holly with blazing eyes, but what he thought in his heart was what the female thief was playing.
"Don't you think it's strange?" Holly suddenly smiled strangely, "There is no surveillance here, and there are no high-tech products, if such an important treasure is hidden here, I will definitely not be at ease." ”
"I've noticed this for a long time, but I haven't been able to ask you." Bob is still there to be clever to himself.
Wu Ming still didn't say a word, only focusing all his attention on Holly, lest she suddenly make a move and catch him off guard.
"Because there's a curse here!" Holly's expression became grim, her thin eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the glint in her eyes flashed, "There are countless resentful spirits here, they guard this dungeon, like guarding the last glimmer of hope of resurrection, it is their evil power that bewitches your hearts, making you lose yourself and lose your kindness." ”
Holly's words seemed to be a slap in the face, and Wu Ming was suddenly shocked: there was indeed a strange aura everywhere here, as if a powerful Consciousness Fighter was exuding fighting energy, and the reason why he suddenly became a killer was completely the instinct of the warrior.
Merely......
It didn't seem to be there all the time, but in the last minute or two, it seemed to be stimulated by something outside and seeped out unconsciously. Wu Ming judged very clearly that the breath did not come from the Ark of the Covenant, but something else, which may have come from the depths of the dungeon, or it may have been in Holly's backpack.
Wu Ming calmed down, and while remaining vigilant, he relaxed his emotions as much as possible. He knew that he couldn't get out of control, and when it came to this, he should calmly judge the situation.
In contrast, Bob was restless, rubbing his scalp repeatedly. Although he doesn't respect gods and doesn't believe in ghosts, seeing Holly say it like that, his heart is a little hairy: "Are you kidding? You don't mean zombies, do you? ”
"I'm serious, and when you turn this corner, you'll be convinced of it." Holly winked at Wu Ming, walked lightly to the wall, and with a few strokes of the match, the ancient oil lamp ignited the flames. Then, from near to far, the lights were lit up one after another, and the surrounding environment gradually became illuminated by a dim firelight.
Turn the corner, and the real dungeon arrives.
Separate cells line the sides. The cells were low, about just over a meter high, and people couldn't stand up straight in them. It is estimated that the lower half was supposed to hold water, but it has long since dried up, leaving only black sludge and musty moss. It's the perfect place to devastate humanity, and it's conceivable that if anyone were locked up inside, he would be tormented in a dilemma every moment.
Upon arriving here, Wu Ming noticed Holly's imperceptible pause, but he wasn't sure if it was deliberate or if something really surprised her.
Following Holly's gaze inside, at the end of the passage, three large cells stood tall. The two rooms next to them are iron fences, so you can see the inside at a glance, but the central one is an iron wall and iron window, which is closed airtightly.
Holly slowly turned her face to Wu Ming, with obvious apology in her eyes: "I'm sorry, I should have miscalculated." What you asked for should have been kept in the room on the left, but now it seems that they have already transported it ahead of time. ”
"What?!" Bob suddenly slammed the magnetic cannon to the ground, so angry that the short hair exploded, "We're one step too late?!" What the hell, it's better to kill Abai's bedroom like I just said, blast that bastard to pieces with one shot, and all the troubles will be solved! ”
Wu Ming ignored Bob's complaints, but stared into Holly's eyes, trying to find signs of lying. But he couldn't tell, because Holly's eyes seemed to be fogged over, and they looked a little hollow, which only made people sink deeply, but they couldn't get any bottom down.
Wu Ming sighed: "That means that the previous toss was all in vain, and then we can only withdraw......"
"I'm really sorry." Holly was smiling bitterly, her expression was both helpless and sincere, "In this way, as the beneficiary of this tacit cooperation, I promise you that when you go out, I will definitely use all my resources to find the key information for you, and then hand it over to you without reservation." Believe me, the dwarf winter melon can't escape, he will die at your hands, and what you want, you will eventually get. ”
Wu Ming smiled faintly and did not reply, but walked to the cell indicated by Holly and took a cursory look. It was empty, but there were footprints on the ground, and there were some scratches from heavy objects, and it seemed that someone had been here recently, and what goods had been transported. If you look closely, there are two or three pieces of animal fur in the corner of the wall, and there are a few drops of fresh blood stained on the wall.
Wu Ming was comparing what he saw with his own eyes with what Holly said, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Holly's smile out of the corner of his eye. She was happily walking to the middle cell, an old brass key in her hand.
"Please wait!"
Wu Ming turned around, his eyes shining, and stared at the female thief.
