We were so curious that we didn't care about getting dirty, so we all leaned over to look at it. Li Yang suddenly made a silent gesture and motioned for us to be quiet. We looked surprised, could there be some mystery in this door.

Li Yang pointed to the door and motioned for us to listen. This iron gate is short and narrow, and there is only one more except him. I'm not welcome, I leaned forward and put my ear to the door, listening very carefully.

There was no sound in it at first, but after a while, there was a very slight "whining" sound, which was a bit like the flow of water, but if you could distinguish it carefully, it was like the sound of the wind. If I let my imagination be free, I think this sound is very much like something flying in the air.

The copper lock was in a hurry, and kept gesticulating, asking about the situation inside. I ignored him and continued to squint.

At this time, suddenly there was a crisp sound of "Kala" in my ears, as if someone was knocking on the door inside, I was startled, and I looked closely, only to find that it was Li Yang who was twisting the rusty handle on the iron door.

"You ......" Wang Chen stumbled and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Li Yang said: "What else can you do?!" Open the door and see what it looks like inside. ”

This kid is really daring. He twisted a few times, and the handle was almost rusty to death on the door, and he didn't pull it a few times. He stood up and said to the Copper Lock, "It's your turn to do your job and find a way to open the door." ”

The copper lock glared at him, but he was not polite, and squatted directly by the iron door. Remove the backpack and take out the lockpicking tool from inside. He poked a slender piece of metal into the rusty keyhole, poked it a few times, and shook his head, "Hard. It's all rusty inside. ”

"Find a way." Li Yang said.

Copper lock smiled: "Fortunately, I am a veteran of lockpicking." He pulled out another white plastic container from his bag, squeezed a few drops of chemical solvent from his pointed mouth onto the slender metal, and then probed back into the keyhole.

The solvent seemed to erode the rust, and black liquid continued to flow out of the keyhole, only to hear a "click", and when I pulled the handle again, the iron door actually opened a crack outward.

The door opened.

We were short of breath, and we knew what secret was hidden here. Everyone felt very nervous and excited.

Li Yang slowly pulled the iron door, and the door shaft made a dry "crunch" sound, which made people fall to hear. Inside the door was a deep darkness, like an abyss, as if it hadn't been opened for a long, long time, and there was a very unpleasant smell coming from inside.

Together, we pulled the handle hard, and managed to pull the door open a gap that could accommodate an adult to walk through. Li Yang looked inside with a flashlight, and the light seemed to be sucked in by the darkness, leaving only a faint pillar of light, and in the area that flashed, all he saw was a snorkel.

Seeing the contents clearly, the copper lock was very disappointed: "I thought there was some secret hidden, it turned out to be a pipe layer." He explained that each high-rise building will have a special pipe layer, the so-called enclosed space, which is filled with professional equipment such as units, which is used for centralized management of water and electricity.

I'm afraid this mysterious secret room in front of me is used for this. As far as the eye can see, there are slender pipes that are staggered and parallel, and they are filled with the stench of stale mixed with water vapor, and there is nothing strange about it.

There was a black hole inside, and our scalp was numb when we looked at it, and we subconsciously accepted the copper lock, and didn't want to risk it again, so we said together: "In that case, close the door." Don't cause problems with the water and electricity in the whole building because of us. ”

Li Yang squatted in front of the gap, looked in, and made a strange movement from time to time. He put his arm all the way into the iron door, and then took it out again, and so on many times. He suddenly said, "I want to go in and have a look." ”

Copper Lock rolled his eyes: "Completely insane." I didn't tell you, it's a pipe layer inside, and you can find a bird when you go in. ”

Li Yang looked at us and said, "I found a strange phenomenon. The temperature inside this iron door is not the same as the outside. ”

I said, "What's so strange about that." It's cold outside, but inside is a closed room, the air conditioning can't get in, and the natural temperature is different. ”

Li Yang stood up, gave up his position, and motioned for us to try.

Qin Dan squatted at the door, stretched his arm into the gap, felt it, and then took it out, looking a little surprised: "The temperature here is so high." ”

I squeezed through with the copper lock, and tried like them, and sure enough, there was a significant temperature difference between the outside and the inside.

The temperature on the top floor of the building we are on is actually very low, even lower than the open air outside, estimated to be around zero. This phenomenon was discovered by Li Yang and I during our last expedition. The higher the building gets to the top floor, the cooler it gets, which is weird to say. Even if the corridors and terraces are not heated like the inside, the building is an enclosed space and is insulated from the cold air, but the temperature here is not only higher than outside, but even two or three degrees lower.

Inside this mysterious iron gate, the temperature is ridiculously high, almost close to the normal heating level, which is expected to be close to 20 degrees. Compared to the platform we are on, it is as warm as spring.

It can only say one thing, there is heating equipment working in it. But if this is the case, there is a contradiction with the hypothesis of the pipe layer guessed by the copper lock.

Uninhabited, just a room where pipes are laid, centralized units, is it necessary to heat it?

Li Yang said just do it, he wanted to get in. This gap was large enough to be seen, but when I really wanted to drill it, I found that it was very troublesome. The biggest problem is that the padded jacket we are wearing is very bloated, and Li Yang even got stuck in the gap with his clothes, and he couldn't get in at all.

He tried back and forth a few times, but still couldn't get in. A few of us tried to hold on to the handle again to make the gap bigger, but the iron door was in disrepair, and the door shaft was rusty, and it couldn't be pulled even after a lot of effort. The crack in the door has been opened to the limit.

Tossing back and forth, Li Yang was sweating all over his body, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

He raised his hand to wipe his sweat and wiped it, and the dirt on his face was everywhere, just like the little flower cat. None of us laughed, the scene was weirdly depressing, and our hearts were heavy.

Li Yang pulled open the chain and took off the padded jacket, revealing the sweater inside. He shivered from the cold, but he still unswervingly handed the padded jacket to Qin Dan: "You guys are waiting for me outside, if I can't come back......"

We looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"If I can't come back, I'll give you a padded jacket." Li Yang laughed.

He and Li Damin, this pair of cousins were really born in the wrong era, and they went back a hundred years, which is definitely the material of the hero. Courage and knowledge, the most important thing is to have a good idea, do it when you recognize it, and never ask how long the red flag can last.

Li Yang squatted on the ground, followed the gap in the iron door, and climbed in little by little.

We watched in horror from behind, and saw him arch into it like a big worm, and the last two feet were also taken in, and he disappeared into the iron door. We turned on the flashlight and saw him standing up straight inside. Although the door is very low, it seems that there is enough space inside for adults to move normally.

The light of Li Yang's flashlight flickered in the darkness, his figure was blurred, and he was slowly walking towards the depths inside, until the darkness swallowed up the last trace of light, and he disappeared.

None of us spoke. For a long time, the copper lock took out a cigarette, sent it to me and Wang Chen, and gave us a little more. A few of us squatted on the ground, smoking cigarettes one by one. Qin Dan couldn't stand the smell of smoke, and stood not far away with Li Yang's padded jacket, and the girl looked at the iron gate quietly, not knowing what to think.

"Do you think that kid will come back?" Wang Chen asked me in a low voice.

"His name is Li Yang." I am dissatisfied that Wang Chen actually used the title of "that kid" to the great god, which is simply an insult.

"Okay, okay, Li Yang. Will he be able to come back? ”

Copper lock smiled: "Lao Li, this person is extremely hard, and nothing will happen." We in the Lantern League, there are a few gods who are particularly hard in eight characters, and every time we go on an expedition, they must lead the way, and there will definitely be no problems, and Li Yang is one of them. ”

I glanced at Qin Dan and asked the copper lock: "Just now you said that girl rolled in the ghost gate, what's going on?" ”

Copper Lock took a deep breath and said, "Qin Dan grew up in the countryside of Xiangxi, and their customs there are particularly superstitious about ghosts and gods. It was when she was a child, her grandmother was seriously ill once, and the hospital couldn't find out why, so the family invited a master with a high morality to see her. Master said that her grandmother's life should not be extinguished, and this life and death is because of the sins committed in her previous life. It is said that her grandmother was the owner of a brothel who opened a kiln in the south of the Yangtze River at the end of the Qing Dynasty in her previous life, when the Chinese drastic changes and natural and man-made disasters occurred, her grandmother used various means to force the daughters of many refugees to sell themselves as kiln sisters, and I heard that she had tortured and killed many disobedient chaste martyrs, anyway, she was in a lot of blood debts. In this life, the fate is bumpy, everything is not going well, drinking cold water to stuff your teeth, farting and jumping on your heels, it is a miracle to be able to live to such an old age. Now, those female souls who died unjustly in their previous lives have come to collect debts from her, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to pass this level. ”

I could hear it: "And then? ”

"Master said that there is only one person who can save this old lady, and that is the little granddaughter Qin Dan. The master said that Qin Dan, this girl, is the reincarnation of a heavenly boy who can ward off evil spirits and exorcise demons, which is quite mysterious. The only way to save grandma is to let Qin Dan exchange his life for his life. ”

"Holy shit." Wang Chen swallowed his saliva.

"Let's not talk about some spells in the middle, we have asked Qin Dan many times, but this girl just doesn't say the details. As a result, Qin Dan fell ill, the high fever did not go away, and no matter how thick the quilt was, he couldn't stop the cold, he talked nonsense every day and saw dirty things, and his life hung by a thread. Her grandmother, on the other hand, has recovered from a serious illness and is enjoying her life. Of course, it doesn't mean that Qin Dan has to die, that master saved her, it is said that Qin Dan's name has been recorded in the life and death book of Lord Yan below at that time. It's a sinister thing anyway. ”

Wang Chen and I didn't speak for a long time, and we were completely stunned by this story.

Wang Chen said: "I heard that people who are born as children don't seem to have a good fate. ”

Copper lock nodded: "Anyway, this girl is worried about her life, and her mind is very heavy, she and her boyfriend are both ...... Forget it, other people's private affairs don't talk nonsense behind their backs, it's not interesting. Lao Liu, do you believe in reincarnation? ”

I was stunned: "Past life and this life? ”

"Pretty much."

I shook my head: "I don't know what to say, it's hard to say." There should be. The immortality of matter is the truth, and perhaps reincarnation is a manifestation of this iron law of the universe. ”

"I believe it." Copper Lock said: "The process of me and my current girlfriend getting to know is very wonderful and coincidental. It's wonderful. This kind of strange fate in this life must be related to the cause and effect of previous lives. ”

"In your previous life, one of you wouldn't be Wu Dalang and the other would be Pan Jinlian." I said.

"Fuck off, fuck your uncle."

We were talking nonsense, when suddenly the light flickered in the iron door, and the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded. I was stunned, and before I could think about it, a bare head stuck out of the iron door. This scared me so much that I almost sat on the ground.

Li Yang was sweating profusely, his face was as white as paper, he leaned out half of his body, gasped and said, "Inside...... There's something in there. ”
