"What's this jar?"

Lin Sheng squatted down and asked.

But the little boy in front of him did not respond.

Counterpart...... Seems to be a mute.

Lin Sheng was a little helpless, so he could only look at the woman on the side.

“……”

The woman was also silent, and did not seem to have any words to say.

Lin Sheng was a little helpless, and after thinking about it, he changed the topic:

"Why did you dig this secret passage?"

“……”

The woman was silent, her eyes tilting her head blankly, as if she was caught in memory and contemplation.

But after a long time, there was no follow-up response.

Lin Sheng shook his head slightly.

It seems that there is no more information to be obtained from them.

The other party is like an NPC in the open world.,It seems that they can interact.,In fact, the interaction that can be carried out is only the content of a few words.。

As for whether to trust the mother and son in front of them......

After thinking about it for a short time, Lin Sheng decided to give it a try.

As the woman said, there are some anomalous individuals in this Wanfu apartment, which is what she calls "them".

If you understand it according to the other party's words, once you are found by "them" in an unguarded situation, it will not end very well.

And the strange sound of hammering and cutting from outside the house never seemed to stop, and it didn't come from just one place.

This extremely strange sound is constantly echoing everywhere in this building.

So...... There are only two options for now.

One is to ignore the woman's words, leave through the main entrance, and then enter the next room to look for clues.

The second is to trust the woman's words, climb into the secret passage in front of you, and then deal with the unknown situation that may arise next.

According to the information at hand, it would be very dangerous to go outside the room, and if you encounter "them", you should be confronted with the source of the danger of this incident.

Nothing is known if you enter this secret passage.

So...... There is nothing to hesitate about.

Lin Sheng nodded at the woman, "Thank you." ”

Then he leaned down and cautiously leaned into the entrance of the secret passage.

During this time, he was still vigilant for any anomalies in the direction of the mother and son behind him.

But the mother and son didn't really seem to have any offensive thoughts, just stood quietly in place, watching Lin Sheng gradually climb into the depths.

It wasn't until Lin Sheng's figure was completely submerged in the darkness that the woman squatted down, slowly lifted several stone bricks that had been removed from her side, and stuffed them back into their original places.

Then he stood up, picked up all kinds of miscellaneous items including the washboard one by one, and blocked them at the entrance of the secret passage one by one, completely covering them.

After doing all this, the woman crouched down again and gently hugged the little boy who had been standing beside her, staring at her motionlessly.

Stretching out his right hand, he stroked the back of the little boy's head gently, as if to soothe the other person.

But the woman's eyes were still blank, constantly recalling and thinking.

Again, a long time passed, and the woman seemed to remember something.

There was a brief return of clarity in his eyes.

"He ...... 'them' ......"

Before the words had completely fallen, the clarity passed away quietly.

The woman just rubbed the boy's head gently, her eyes full of confusion and pity.

……

Lin Sheng didn't know what was happening in the original room, but crawled very carefully in the secret passage of bricks and stones.

Contrary to what I had previously thought, this secret passage was very narrow when entered, but after going a little deeper, although the sides were still very narrow, it was able to stand up and walk upright.

It is also due to the fact that the exterior wall of this tube building seems to have been made of two brick walls during construction, and it is not known for this reason.

But at least...... So that Lin Sheng could still barely walk in this extremely rough path.

About a minute later, Lin Sheng finally saw the "fork in the road" mentioned by the woman.

The fork in the road itself is divided into two directions, one in front and one on the right, and there are faint light sources coming out of the direction in front, which seems to be able to reach the outside.

On the right, it's still completely dark.

Even with the visual amplification turned on, with almost no external light source, Lin Sheng still had almost no way to see too many things clearly.

Without any hesitation, Lin Sheng walked directly to the fork in the road on the right.

Although the woman mentioned that she would let herself go forward, Lin Sheng would not think that entering a room like this and leaving here directly through a secret passage was a way to completely win the game.

The most likely way to go straight through this secret passage is a "small" way to survive, that is, a way to survive that may exist in some events, "avoiding contact with the core of the event".

But there is no point in avoiding the core area of this incident for now.

Lin Sheng knew very well that he had to find a way to solve this incident, and if he wanted to completely solve this incident, he had to face Morpheus as the core of the incident.

Even though it is unknown where the fork in the road on the right will end, it is assumed that a new "plot node" will be triggered, and you will be able to get more sources of information about the event through this way.

While thinking about it, Lin Sheng noticed that there seemed to be some light in front of him, which was also a warm yellow appearance, and it seemed to be the light source of the incandescent lamp seen from outside the tube building.

At the same time, the sound of hammering and cutting became more and more real and clear.

Lin Sheng accelerated slightly while lowering his voice, and soon walked near the area where the light came from.

This is not the end of the secret passage, it is still only "halfway".

The light source comes from a very small vertical gap on the right side of the passage, which looks like a partial crack in the wall, located slightly lower.

Lin Sheng squatted down and lightly pressed it, trying to see some of the external scene through the gap.

Compared to the darkness in the secret passage, the relatively warm yellow and bright light source is very dazzling under the blessing of visual amplification.

After his vision stabilized a little, Lin Sheng once again stepped into the gap.

The view provided by the gap is quite limited, and only the inside of a room can be seen beyond the gap, which should be the same as the previous set of the mother and son's home, but the only cabinet furniture that can be seen so far is made of metal.

Lin Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were slightly vigilant.

Even though the gap was small, he could still smell familiar scents through it.

Is that...... The smell of blood.

It's very obvious, and it tends to become more intense.

Gurgle-

Gurgle-

Kazi Kazi –

The sound of hammering and cutting was heard all the time, and it seemed to be on the left side of the gap.

As we got closer, it became clearer that the two "clucks" were closer, almost at the edge of the gap, and the other was relatively far away, estimated to be a little farther away on the left.

Lin Sheng tried to move his vision left and right, but the thickness of the wall itself and the narrowness of the gap itself determined that the field of vision could not be further expanded.

There was no other way, and after waiting for a long time and no more information, Lin Sheng planned to continue walking.

But just as he was about to move on—

Gurgle——!

A grim white face of a dead man suddenly poked sideways into the gap.

A pair of bloodshot eyes, through the slit......

looked directly at Lin Sheng.
