"What!" A few of us hurriedly took two steps back, looking at the hole warily. Although the two guys were also very nervous, they didn't run anyway, and they were waiting for the battle with sledgehammers in hand.

Shi Tao and I glanced at each other, so we quietly walked to the hole under the mezzanine together, looking at the dark hole, my heart beat gradually accelerated, and I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Shi Tao took the flashlight to the entrance of the cave, and I slowly poked my head into the hole, and then an extremely terrifying scene appeared in front of my eyes, just in the black hole, I suddenly saw that a miserable white face was directly below the mouth of the cave, two big blood-red eyes were looking straight at me, and two sharp fangs stuck out of the mouth. I felt like all my pores were exploding, and my heart seemed to stop at that moment, and I wanted to scream but I opened my mouth and couldn't scream. If I had a heart attack, I might have hung up in this instant.

Shi Tao next to him was no better than me, gasped, instantly became bloodless, and his body involuntarily tilted to the side, but I noticed that he was startled, and his right hand subconsciously touched his waist. "Could it be that he has a gun in his waist?" I couldn't help but think about it.

No, it seems a little wrong, I found a problem, this ghost in the cave is just lying there and watching, why doesn't it move, is it possible...

I mustered my courage and looked down again, and Kong Xue next to me asked softly, "There... What's in there? ”

Lantern Xiao said anxiously next to him: "How is it!" Did that thing climb up? No, let's run first! I waved at them and told them to shut up!

I gestured to Shi Tao, who nodded, and shone the flashlight downward again with his left hand, and then his right hand really pulled out a pistol from his waist, and aimed the muzzle straight at the hole.

I'll go! He really has a gun! This TM is the underworld! My trip is really worth it, it's so lively! It's missing and a secret passage again, and now it's haunted, and there's an underworld with a gun next to it! I have greeted the ancestors of the Lantern Festival eighteen times in my heart!

But I don't have time to think about it now, I have to solve the matter in front of me first, I looked down at Shi Tao's flashlight, and the grimace appeared in front of my eyes again, but after the fright just now, I seem to have a little immunity, not as scared as I was just now, and I can even just look at it carefully with the grimace's eyes. I can't help but admire myself in my heart!

I looked at it, and finally understood, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's a grimace mask!" Fake! Shi Tao also understood the truth, reached in and ripped off the grimace mask.

Seeing this, Lantern Xiao next to him rushed up in two steps, snatched the mask in Shi Tao's hand, threw it on the ground, and scolded angrily: "Who is so lacking in virtue here!" It's not worth your life to be scared to death! Damn, I just hung my back on it! ”

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Kong Xue couldn't help patting her chest with her little hand, and breathed a long sigh of relief. Looking at Kong Xue, who seemed to be the eldest sister just now, showed the expression of a little girl, it was quite likable.

Shi Tao continued to shine downward with a flashlight, "It seems that Kong Ye is very likely to leave from this secret passage, there are stairs below, I don't know where it leads." ”

Kong Xue also leaned over and looked into the hole. She looked inside, then turned to me and said, "In that case, let's go down and have a look." What do you think? Mr. Zhuo? ”

The false alarm just now seemed to stimulate our adrenal glands even more, and I thought it was really exciting and interesting at the time, so I nodded immediately, "Of course!" I will be with you to the end! But don't call me Mr. Zhuo anymore, we are about the same grade, so it's okay for you to call me Zhuo Ran. Kong Xue smiled and nodded.

Lantern Xiao was also a little excited and eager to try, "Hurry up, who will take the lead?" ”

......

It wasn't until later, when things developed beyond my expectations, that I recalled more than once that if I had rejected Kong Xue at that time, would my life have been different.

But it was impossible to turn back time, and no matter what, I did agree without thinking. So, Shi Tao walked in front with a gun, Lantern Xiao and I followed behind Shi Tao, and Kong Xue walked last.

Coming down from the mezzanine behind the fireplace was a small platform large enough for a few of us to stand on, and there were a lot of rubble pieces that had just fallen from the wall, and we also found a small flap on the platform, which was connected by a lever to a plank on the edge of the mezzanine above, and that board was where the grimace mask was glued.

After looking at it, we immediately understood what was going on, if the entrance was opened by a normal mechanism, and if we didn't touch the flap below, the grimace would not pop out, and once it was destroyed by external force, falling rocks and the like would touch the flap, and the grimace mask would pop out. It can also be regarded as a means of defense.

Lantern Xiao touched the flipper, pouted and said: "It turned out to be a scaring thing, and the trigger mechanism is to pop up a grimace, if you really want to defend, then it is better to put something lethal." ”

"You're really simple-minded!" I said, "Don't forget, outside this entrance is the bedroom, what are you going to put in your bedroom?" Poison gas or bomb! When the time comes, he didn't kill others, but killed himself first. ”

"Then you can put a hidden gun or poisoned arrows or something." Lantern Xiao retorted disapprovingly.

"I said you ......"

"Alright, don't be poor! Let's go! Kong Xue interrupted us in a low voice.

The two of us closed our mouths stupidly, and followed Shi Tao along the secret passage to continue walking inside, not taking two steps, Shi Tao with a flashlight in front suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand and groped on the wall, "click", and the whole secret passage lit up in an instant, it turned out that the electric light had been connected here, it seems that Kong Ye will often come here.

What is more surprising is that Kong Xue, who has lived here for more than 20 years, did not know that there was such a place in his home.

The abundance of light made us a lot more courageous, Shi Tao turned off the flashlight, and everyone walked forward along the secret passage. After walking about 20 meters, we found a secret room with two large iron doors closed. Because of the grimace incident just now, everyone was a little apprehensive, and they didn't know whether to push the door open, so everyone was a little hesitant.
