For some reason, Lin Xiaoxue almost fell from the top of the steps, which led to irreparable consequences.

With her usual cautious character, I don't think it would be so careless at such a moment.

There was probably something on the stairs ahead, causing her to nearly stumble and fall straight down the stairs.

After adjusting the light of the flashlight, and then shining the light on the steps in front of you, the picture that appeared in the field of vision made you gasp.

I saw that from the stairs in front of me, all of them were stained dark red with blood, and they stretched all the way down the dark ground, and there was no end in sight.

It was evident that the blood had been left on the top of the stairs for so long that most of the blood had clotted into dark red clots, which adhered to the top of the stairs, raising the entire plane straight up by two to three centimeters.

My God, I have never seen such a large amount of bleeding, and a rough estimate is that there was at least four or five people's blood left on the plane in front of me.

Because the blood elevates the plane, and then there is a difference in height, if you don't notice the situation in advance, it is easy to trip over the blood clot that has dried and hardened, and then lose your balance.

I suddenly remembered that in the file of No. 37 L Mansion that Lao Yan gave me, it was recorded that a large area of blood appeared in a similar area.

At that time, there were only four people living in the Western-style pavilion at No. 37 L House, but the amount of bleeding at the scene was much more than four people. The police speculated that there may be other people besides the Ye family of four staying in the mansion, however, no matter how the police searched, they could not find the victim's body.

Seeing such a large patch of dried blood in front of me, a strange thought suddenly rose from my mind. Could it be that the place where Lao Yan and the others really found the bloodstains was not actually in the foreign pavilion, but in this passage.

Judging from the current situation, such a large amount of blood stains somewhat means that an extremely vicious incident must have erupted in the Western-style pavilion back then. Come to think of it, the severity of the incident may be far more than the girl with catheters in Lao Yan's mouth.

If this is the case, there is no reason for Lao Yan and them not to mention the passage I am in in the future archives. So, what did the police find in House 37 L that year? Or maybe there's a secret hidden at the end of this mysterious passage.

And it was that secret that made Lao Yan, who had experienced so many ups and downs, feel afraid.

At this point, I can only assume that all the information from the outside world may be an illusion. The other party's power is too huge, so huge that in order to lure me into this passage, they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to lay out this "detective game".

Before I entered this mansion, the people behind the scenes had already created too many illusions for me. Now, I can only trust my instincts, and the next part of the journey will become more and more difficult.

I'm not sure I'll ever make it out of here alive today, but life and death have lost their meaning to me since seven years ago.

The constant appearance of the victims, Liu Dan's cold corpse, my mother's red stained with blood, and half of my father's cheek shattered by bullets.

To this day, I have spent most of my life living in the nightmare of seven years ago.

For me, the truth is no longer just about comforting the dead.

Although almost everyone was trying to persuade me to give up and turn back, I had no chance of turning back since seven years ago. The black gold case is just an opportunity, no matter what the outcome, I must continue this road, after all, I have to give myself an explanation!

"Let's go, Goofy, keep going!" In the darkness, a soft female voice slowly came out, like a bright light, illuminating the road ahead.

The person who spoke was Lin Xiaoxue beside her, although she almost had an accident just now, her eyes were still so decisive.

At this moment, I suddenly reacted. For Xiaoxue, Lin Bayi's murder is also a lingering nightmare in her life. She also needs to find the truth, and then give herself a reasonable explanation.

Turning the Tactical Flashlight to its fullest, we held hands and continued down the stairs.

After about fifteen minutes of walking, the long staircase finally came to an end, and then an open passage appeared in front of Xiaoxue and me.

The walls on both sides of the passage are all welded with steel plates, and the whole passage is extremely long, and most of the rivets used for the connection have become rusty after the baptism of time.

Moments later, directly in front of us, a dilapidated steel gate appeared. The entire gate, about a third of the area, showed signs of damage and corrosion.

The entire steel gate is half-hidden, leaving a gap that allows you to see the pitch-black space behind the gate.

However, on the dark ground ahead, there happened to be half a clear footprint.

Judging from the previous signs, the lower layer of this passage has obviously been closed for a long time, because no one has entered it for too long, and a thick layer of dust has already accumulated in some areas. But now, there are half footprints on the side of this steel gate, which just means that not long ago, someone entered through this gate.

Could it be the guy in red I saw before? Or the person in Lin Xiaoxue's memory? Unknown.

Walking up slowly, through the rotten area of the door, just reach into it to form a force point, and then slowly open the whole door. In an instant, a cold wind blew in my face, making me shiver unconsciously.

"Goofy, look, what is this!" Xiaoxue pointed to the font on the wall and said in surprise.

Hurriedly turned the flashlight, and following Xiaoxue's gaze, she happened to see two dark red fonts appear on the wall to the right of the steel gate: Area A.

Zone A, what does it mean? Could it be that there are other areas in this underground space besides where we are now?

Looking at the endless darkness in front of me, I suddenly remembered the scene when I entered the underground bomb shelter in a deserted village. Whether it was the underground bomb shelter or the location we are in now, there are some similarities between the two places.

Again, I don't think that the appearance of these two extremely similar underground spaces is just a simple coincidence. Perhaps, someone or someone did the same thing using the bomb shelter under House 37 and in the deserted village.

Considering all the factors and the archival record that Lao Yan gave me, what can be carried out in such a vast space can only be the mysterious "indoctrination field" plan.

As expected, the area where Xiaoxue and I are now should be the same place where they conducted human experiments back then, so the large amount of blood stains we saw on the stairs before can be explained.

"Jingle bell, jingle bell!"

"Who!"

In an instant, a crisp sound exploded in the darkness in front of him, as if someone was shaking a bell not far away.

For some reason, this time Xiaoxue reacted very quickly, breaking free of my palm before I could notice the sound, and chased directly into the darkness with the flashlight.

"Wait, don't chase it, it could be a trap!" I was trying to catch up with Xiaoxue's footsteps, but I didn't expect that just a few steps away, the soles of my feet suddenly tripped over something, and then the whole person lost balance and fell to the ground.

The ground was made of steel plates, and it was full of dust, and this time my face hit the ground first, and it hurt so much that I wanted to die.

Damn, what bastard is so unqualified to throw things around here!

forcibly sat up from the ground in pain, however, Lin Xiaoxue, who was originally close in front of her, had already disappeared.

Hey, this little girl is still as disobedient as ever.

After a while, he picked up the flashlight that had fallen aside, and then shone it on the area he was just in. At this moment, a small square suddenly appeared in my sight, and as expected, it was this small object that caused me to fall.

Walked over, picked up the block, and slapped the dust off it.

That's when I realized that this square thing turned out to be a notepad.

Red rubber, the pages are sewn together with needles and threads, and in the lower right corner of the notepad is vaguely written: 1990 souvenir.

1990 souvenir!

In an instant, cold sweat continued to run down my back, and I suddenly remembered that I had seen similar words before.

That is exactly the photo that appeared in the Renyu case and Guo Fangzheng left me.

At that time, the photo clearly recorded a group photo of four people, namely Guo Fangzheng, Ren Fengyue, Lin Bayi, and a distorted figure.

With the exception of the distorted figure, the other three were all victims of the massive murder I experienced, and all three of them were involved in the "Indoctrination" project.

Everything is on the right track!

What's more, now on the cover of this diary, there are also the words "1990 commemoration", which in itself cannot be explained by coincidence. I even began to suspect that Guo Fangzheng had been at No. 37 L House, and the photo he handed me was brought out of this place!

In the dark, Xiaoxue has disappeared, and in a blink of an eye, I don't know where this girl has gone.

However, I didn't get up and chase after him. Because at this moment, all my attention is on this diary in front of me.

Swallowing his saliva, he slapped the dust away, then shook his hands and slowly opened the diary.

Immediately afterwards, the words that appeared in my field of vision made me break out in a cold sweat.

If there really is hell in this world, then what I see now is hell.
