Chapter 279: Goofy's Decision
Just as we were about to escape through the passage, a dark red shadow flashed from the other side of the passage.
It was like someone in red, sprinting 100 meters on the side of the passage.
However, the whole process only lasted about 2,3 seconds. When I looked there again, the entire passage was empty, and there was no one in sight.
Is it a hallucination? Or is it really true?
When I was confused, I found that the dragon on the side was staring at the other side of the passage, and on his face, the same expression appeared as mine.
Just now, he was standing in the same position as me, and I'm sure the dragon saw the same thing in the sky.
At this time, there were other people hiding in the Western-style museum. Lu Yuan and Lin Jie are still trapped in Area B, not to mention, if the figure that flashed just now is really them, then they don't have to hide from us.
So, who is this mysterious man in red, and will it be the strange man in red who has appeared many times before?
I glanced at the exit in front of me, and then I looked back at the passage.
If you go directly to the exit, you will be able to escape and survive successfully. But if I miss this opportunity in front of me, maybe, I won't be able to catch that bastard in my life.
Now, what should be done?
Now, I suddenly remember what Lao Yan once taught me.
Take a deep breath to keep yourself calm and empty your brain of the excess. Hold this for three seconds, and after a few moments, I have the answer.
Turning his head, he slowly said to Lin Xiaoxue in front of him: "After leaving the garden, you can see that there is a road leading to the taiga forest at the main gate, and if you follow that road all the way forward, you can smoothly walk out of the coniferous forest." Xiaoxue, you take Long Zaitian out to call the police first, remember to ask the police to bring an ambulanceγγγγγ β
Xiaoxue listened carefully to what I said about the first half, suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said to me: "What about you?" What are you going to do when we're out? β
"In the foreign pavilion, there are still some things that I need to solve, and when the matter is resolved, I will go out to meet you. Trust me, it won't take much time. β
I took off the brass pocket watch that Lin Bayi gave me, and then slowly put it on Xiaoxue's neck.
So far, I have completed what the old guy told me before he died, and I can't even protect myself after that, so I don't want Xiaoxue to continue to be involved in this case.
After all, no matter what you say, this girl is innocent.
Xiaoxue originally wanted to refute me, but after going through so many things together, she had already figured out my temper and temperament, and knew that no matter how much she tried to stop it, it would be useless.
After a while, she looked down at me, and finally squeezed out this sentence from her mouth: "Okay, I'll go out and call the police, and I'll come back to you when the time comes." β
"Okay, I'll take Lu Yuan and Lin Jie together, and wait for you here!"
Seeing Xiaoxue take Long Zaitian together, she slowly walked out of this foreign pavilion.
When her feet stepped out of the mansion, she saw the afterglow of the setting sun suddenly sprinkle on her shoulders. I've never had any art cells, and since I was a child, I've never passed either art exams or music exams.
However, when the golden sunset sprinkled on her shoulders, I felt that Xiaoxue was incredibly beautiful, like a sculpture that was desirable.
Forgive me, Xiaoxue. Since I have promised Lin Bayi to take care of your safety, then the next truth can only be explored by myself.
Who is the red-clothed weirdo, and what is the truth of the Indoctrination Field project. What has happened to me over the years, and why did Lin Bayi anticipate the strange things that appeared on me before he died?
For some reason, at this moment, I have a strong premonition that all the truth is buried in this Western-style mansion called No. 37 L House. As long as I follow the passage in front of me to the end, the answers to all the questions will be presented to me one by one.
Xiaoxue escaped from this mansion with Long Zaitian, so I have nothing to worry about.
After smoking the last cigarette on his body, he took a deep breath and walked slowly towards the black passage.
I'd never been inside this passage before, so I didn't know where the passage in front of me was leading.
I got up, walked slowly, and checked the area around the passage, but I didn't find many valuable clues, so I can't say for sure if anyone had run through here quickly before this.
Only a small part of the entire passage is exposed, and the rest of the passage is completely deep into a claustrophobic space, which feels like a passage to some different dimension.
However, as soon as my left foot stepped into the passage, a strong smell of rust mixed with strong wind rushed towards me, and I almost choked on it.
What I didn't expect was that the situation in the passage was completely different from that of the Western-style Pavilion. The walls on both sides of it are covered with moss, and the floors and decorations on both sides even expose a lot of blue-brown rust. Compared with this lavishly decorated mansion, the whole passage seems to retain the original appearance of the entire L house No. 37.
In terms of the strength of the Yu Group's abundant funds, there is no reason to leave such a dilapidated channel alone and ignore it.
The explanation for this is either that, for some reason, the renovation of the passage has been put on hold. Or, for some particular reason, the passage is deliberately left to the same condition as it was decades ago.
In either case, the situation in this passage must not be simple, and it reinforces my belief that the figure I have just seen is not a hallucination.
The inside of this seemingly dilapidated passage must contain some truth that I have been seeking.
Taking a deep breath, he held a flashlight in his left hand and a saber in his right hand as he headed towards the inner side of the quiet passage.
Since Xiaoxue and Long Zaitian left, the entire mansion has become more and more quiet, although it is only evening, but there is an inexplicable sense of claustrophobia in this passage, which will make people instinctively reject entering.
After about five minutes of walking along the damp floor, a large staircase suddenly appeared at the end of the darkness that spread downward.
The staircase is made of marble and has remained as it was decades ago. The area around the staircase is unusually damp, with unknown mosses and reptiles everywhere.
The whole staircase goes deeper and deeper into the ground, and it is as if it leads to hell, and to be honest, I can't imagine what the end of this staircase will be like.
Now that you've made up your mind, there's no room to back down. Hold on to your flashlight and continue down the damp stairs.
It was eerily dark, except for the sound of my footsteps and breathing. The more I walked down, the more oppressive I felt before, and under the interference of this invisible pressure, gradually, my breathing and heart rate increased a lot.
We can't go on like this, we have to calm down, otherwise with our current mental state, we won't be able to cope with the situation after that.
Just as I tried to take a deep breath and try to control my emotions, a crimson sign suddenly appeared on the wall in front of me.
On the wall, seven big characters were written crookedly: "We can't escape!" β
The words looked like they had been brushed with red paint, but they were also like bloody letters that someone had bitten off their fingers to write down. After the baptism of time, although it has become blurry, it still gives people a sense of oppression that shocks the soul.
Who wrote this line? Where do they want to escape? Unknown.
However, what I didn't expect was that this line of red letters was only the beginning, and the more I went down, the more similar red letters jumped out of the walls in all directions.
"This is hell...
"Help us."
"They're the devil!"
"Lord, forgive me for my sins."
On one of the walls, there was even a strange picture.
What is recorded on the screen is a person tied to a wooden pillar and burned alive, while countless people around him bow to the burning man.
This scene is similar to the behavior of the mentally ill people I saw under the church of St. Mary!
What is the connection between House 37 and the Church of Santa Maria?
However, before I could figure it out, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps at the other end of the stairs.
