Chapter 80: The Haunted House (7)

In the golden-green light, the high diver stared at Sherlock for a few seconds.

Sherlock put the night vision goggles back into his eyes and said slowly, "What should she do, you decide, but we have to go down a little faster, is five minutes enough?"

"Enough. Gao Qian nodded slightly.

Sherlock smiled at Gui Xiaoqian and turned to walk into the darkness.

Five minutes later,

Sherlock, who was waiting in front of a railing not far ahead, saw Gui Xiaoqian walking with Gao Qian, and burst out laughing.

Gui Xiaoqian said she could help. High Diving ignored the smile on Sherlock's face and said with a straight face. Sherlock glanced at Gui Xiaoqian, whose cheeks were a little red and her eyes drooped.

"That's a good idea. Sherlock smiled and said to Gui Xiaoqian, "Actually, I just thought that Miss Gui's method of illuminating with luminous moss was very good, I don't know if Miss Gui is inconvenient......

Before Sherlock could finish speaking, the wall behind her lit up, like an invisible golden-green light held up in the air, illuminating the space within two meters.

"Awesome. Sherlock pushed the night vision goggles on his eyes to his forehead and sighed, "Miss Gui's ability is so convenient in a dark place, to be honest, night vision goggles are good, but after wearing them for a long time, I feel dizzy." ”

"In front of it is a narrow waterway with an iron boat. Gao Qian looked ahead, "It looks like we have to take a boat through the front." ”

Gui Xiaoqian took a few steps forward, and the golden green light and shadow covered the wooden deck, then the water.

The waterway is about two meters wide and estimated to be only half a meter deep, and a rusty iron boat that can carry six people floats on the golden-green water, glowing with rusty black-red, and the silhouette of the castle can be seen in the distance. I don't know how many years ago the water in the waterway was rotten, and Gao Qian turned off his sense of smell and couldn't smell it, but looking at Gui Xiaoqian's face, the smell must not be good.

Sherlock jumped into the boat first, shook it, and smiled: "It's not a real ship, there is a tow chain underneath, and the mechanism that starts should be on the dock." ”

Gao Qian turned around and searched, and found a wrench-shaped switch on the wall, which seemed to be mechanically transmitted and did not require electricity.

"You go up first. Gao Qian said to Gui Xiaoqian. Gui Xiaoqian glanced at him, hummed softly, and with Sherlock's help, he also got into the boat, and both of them crowded into the bow of the boat, leaving room for a high dive to jump up for a while.

The switch wrench on the wall had been embroidered, and it took some effort for Gao Diver to pull it off. There was a terrible rattling sound in the sink, and the rusty gears spun. The boat staggered and broke through the water and moved forward.

"Hurry up, high dive. Seeing the boat drifting away from the shore, Xiao Qian cried out worriedly.

Two steps were taken on the high potential pier, and an arrow leaped up, landing steadily on the stern of the small boat that had rowed a few meters away, and the iron boat made a muffled sound like it was about to fall apart, stopped for a second, and continued to creak and move.

Xiao Qian breathed a sigh of relief and immediately came to Gao Qian's side: "I'm worried about me, I thought you would jump into the water." ”

Sherlock went to find a seat and sat down, smiling at Gao Qian, "Master." ”

"Sit down, too. Gao Qian took Gui Xiaoqian's arm and let her sit in the seat near Sherlock, while he stood at the stern of the boat, staring at the darkness in the distance.

The waterway is not long, only about 20 meters, and is made into a strange stone setting on one side, and a miniature stone castle on the other, which is modeled like a moat around the castle. High dives can see monsters made of chains, wood, rags, skins, etc., hidden behind sets and stones. The waterway has a bend in front of it, and it looks like it will take a circle around the castle to reach the end.

While Gao Qian was observing the surroundings, Sherlock chatted with Gui Xiaoqian in a casual tone.

"Miss Gui, how did you come up with the idea of coming to this haunted house to do a live broadcast?"

"There are comments from the audience. Gui Xiaoqian replied lightly, "And I also think it's a good idea." ”

"Oh," Sherlock seemed to be indifferent to Gui Xiaoqian's cold attitude, and continued to ask with a smile, "I don't know if it's one viewer, or a message from many viewers?"

"Is there a difference?" Gui Xiaoqian frowned slightly, and after seeing Gao Qian also looking at her, she changed her words, "Although it is a message from an audience, there are tens of thousands of likes, which means that this is the request of most audiences." ”

"That's right. Sherlock nodded, in understanding.

Gao Qian glanced at Sherlock, who just smiled at him, then put on the night vision goggles and looked around.

At this moment, the rattling boat suddenly stopped moving forward and stopped at the entrance to the castle. Part of the waterway flows into the castle from here, and the other part continues on.

The three of them looked at each other, wondering if the mechanism was malfunctioning, or if the mechanism was designed to stay here for a while.

Xiao Qian enlarged the area covered by the glowing moss, and they saw that the drawbridge in front of the ancient castle was half-raised, and there were some half-foot-tall miniature soldiers on the city wall in a posture of shooting arrows downward. The soldiers were also surrounded by trebuchets and "giant" crossbows and other counter-siege equipment, and it seems that the theme of the castle was to defend the city.

So who are the besieging parties?

"That's a stupid subject. Sherlock commented.

Gao Qian waited for a while, and seeing that the boat had no intention of continuing to move, he simply jumped into the water. The water immediately reached his knees, and the temperature was low and bitterly cold. The bottom of the sink is also uneven, and there are some hard objects piled up, some of which break when you step on them, and some of which are a little awkward. Gao Qian pushed the iron boat hard, but the iron boat did not move.

Gao Qian looked at Gui Xiaoqian and Sherlock. Sherlock had already stood up and was about to jump into the water like the high diver, while Gui Xiaoqian stared at the water with a hesitant look on her face.

Gao Qian sighed slightly and stopped Sherlock: "You wait first, I'll go to the front to see if there is a way to continue to move the boat, if not, you can go into the water again." ”

Sherlock looked at Gui Xiaoqian and smiled slightly: "Okay, then it's hard for you, handsome guy." ”

Gao Qian sneered and waded away. The sound of the rushing water faded away, and silence returned to the surroundings.

Under the pitch-black castle, the golden green water slowly ripples. A rusty boat floated along, and two women sat silently opposite each other.

Sherlock began fiddling with her night vision goggles again.

Gui Xiaoqian suddenly spoke: "What's the use of what you're wearing?"

"Actually, it's not very useful, your glowing moss is much more useful. Sherlock said as he continued to adjust the knobs of his night vision goggles.

"How did you and Gao Qian meet?" Gui Xiaoqian continued to ask.

"Well, I met by chance. Sherlock paused as she adjusted the knob, and she looked up and down for a moment as if she were following something, then looked at the castle.

"You're weird, you know?" Gui Xiaoqian frowned, staring at Sherlock's strange moves.

"A lot of people say that. Sherlock didn't care, she looked at the part of the castle as if she was discerning something.

Gui Xiaoqian followed Sherlock's gaze towards the castle, and she didn't see anything unusual except for the black city walls.

"Are you familiar with Gao Qian?" Gui Xiaoqian continued to ask.

"Average. ”

"Normally, he will accompany you on an expedition?" Gui Xiaoqian's tone suddenly became scathing.

Sherlock didn't answer, she stared at something intently.

"Hey, I'm talking to you......" Gui Xiaoqian suddenly reached out to push Sherlock, but Sherlock suddenly grabbed Gui Xiaoqian's arm at this time and shook it hard.

With a plop, Gui Xiaoqian fell into the sink before she could scream, and the golden-green moss was like a blanket with a big hole, shook twice, and then fell silent.

Sherlock's almond-colored trench coat quickly leaked a blood stain from the shoulder, and she touched it with her hand, and in the night vision goggles, the blood on the palm of her hand was like a shining silver powder.

"High Diving ......," Sherlock muttered, and fell softly.
