Chapter 9: The Catacombs
I lay on the ground, dazed.
It's obvious that the sound on the floor won't be solid when you hear it.
"Look for a shovel or anything nearby." I stood up and searched everywhere.
Although the house has a lot of garbage, it is also a mess.
But there were no shovels.
My cousin squatted down and looked at it, then asked me and Dong Jing to stop.
"No need to look for it, it's not something you can get with a shovel. This underground is probably a secret room, and we need to find a mechanism in this house to have a chance to open the secret room. ”
My cousin's words made me stunned for a moment, and my head wrinkled slightly.
Organ......
Because this house is uninhabited all year round, the whole house is a mess, and there is no water and electricity.
The agency must be in a corner that no one knows, and the house is so big, how will it be found for a while.
I was stopped by my cousin's words, and I didn't know where to start.
Dong Jing is enthusiastic, and has been looking everywhere in the living room.
She has a strong light in her hand, and wherever she passes, there will be a strong light.
I bit my flashlight and started looking for a mechanism.
Suddenly, something sprang out, and I jumped backwards, hitting the wall behind me.
Something seemed to bulge out of the wall and hit me in the back, causing tears to come out of my eyes.
But at this moment, the mechanism was activated.
The floor tiles began to slowly move away, revealing a staircase.
As my cousin said, this is a secret room.
We saw a hole in the floor and were all curious.
My cousin went down first, and before he took two steps, he stepped on the air, and the whole person slid down.
I was lying on my stomach and watching, and when I saw that my cousin was in danger, I quickly reached out to pull it.
But when my cousin's hand touched mine, I felt a powerful force pull me down.
I didn't control one of them well, and I was directly pulled down by him.
This chamber is not deep, and soon we will be at the bottom.
Luckily, my cousin was under me, otherwise I would have fallen.
"You kid! Why don't you hurry up?! ”
My cousin's complaining voice sounded in my ears, and I slowly got up.
But my waist seems to be twisted, and it hurts a lot when I move.
In front of us, something resembling a stone wall blocked our way.
"Maybe it's just a utility room, there's no way out." I muttered softly.
Dong Jing, who was above, walked down slowly at this time, and the strong light in her hand shone on the stone wall, and I looked at it carefully.
There is text on it, but I don't read it carefully.
As Dong Jing walked down, the light source became larger and larger, and the words in front of him began to become clear.
But just as Dong Jing reached the bottom, the floor tiles above our heads were closing.
Worst!
I felt a thrill in my heart.
If the tiles are closed, how will we go back later?
With that in mind, I ran back.
In two or two clicks, I jumped up the steps and reached out to grab the tiles.
But the floor tiles were so heavy that I couldn't pull them alone.
It wasn't until my cousin came over to help that I was able to barely make the tiles move as fast.
But there is still no way to stop the stitching of the floor tiles.
I was so anxious that I was already rehearsing how we were going to die.
Let's not talk about whether we can take it here for ten days and half a month and then starve to death, the biggest possibility is that we will suffocate to death.
"Dongjing, you go out first. As soon as you go out, press that button on the wall, and it's open. ”
I was covered in cold sweat all over my body, and fine sweat was oozing from my forehead, and my attitude of speaking was naturally not so gentle.
Dong Jing didn't bother with me at this time, and walked directly up the steps with two steps.
But for some reason, all of a sudden, the speed at which the floor tiles were sewn together accelerated.
My cousin and I couldn't hold back the strength of the two big men, and when Dong Jing saw this, he hurriedly quickened his pace.
Just as she was about to go out, the floor tiles were completely stitched together.
I looked a little discouraged, frowning, and dressed roughly.
What can I do?
Before I could recover my strength, the stone wall behind us suddenly moved.
What does that mean?
Double traps?
As soon as the floor tiles are closed, the stone wall will open.
When the stone wall was opened, we were faced with a large chamber of secrets.
This chamber is particularly strange, with roads on the left and right, and a large pit in the middle, and a straight road further on.
I took two steps and noticed that my cousin wasn't following, so I looked back at him.
"Don't go any further, this place is a little weird. It looks like an ancient tomb, and it's the kind of tomb with Chinese characters. ”
The cousin's expression was a little nervous, and he took Dong Jing's flashlight to look around.
I followed the light of my flashlight and began to look at the chamber as well.
Indeed, as my cousin said, this terrain is particularly like a Chinese character.
Dong Jing and I didn't dare to run around, and my cousin was among us, and the Tao was relatively high, so we all followed him.
He went forward, and so did we.
After walking for a short distance, a wooden box resembling a coffin suddenly appeared in front of me.
But this wooden box is different from ordinary coffins.
On the top of the wooden box is a large white paper flower, which looks to be some years old.
The wooden box is only closed, which proves that there must be a corpse lying inside.
It is a catacomb.
"Let's go or go," I said, my voice trembling, and I stayed here, making me a little unwell: "I arrived at someone's graveyard for some reason, and it doesn't feel good." ”
Dong Jing turned to look at me, his eyes sharp: "If you want to go, you can go, and no one will leave you here." ”
Just as she turned around, she muttered again: "A big man is always afraid like a dog." ”
When she said that, my face immediately burned.
People live for a lifetime for only a few decades, and there is no need to consume their lives in advance.
But there was no way, and I couldn't find a way out, so I had to follow them.
"We've got to find a way to get this coffin out."
My cousin changed his usual appearance from a serious face, and he looked a little handsome.
"We can't even find our way out now, how can we get this coffin?" I'm kind of complaining.
After all, it's not exactly my will to come here, although I don't want to waste a good opportunity to make money in vain, but I also have to have the life to spend the money I earned!
"Shut up!" Dong Jing couldn't help but roar anymore, I didn't dare to say anything, and continued to move forward.
I'm also holding my breath, after this time, if I follow my cousin again, I'm with my cousin's surname!
I walked forward with my head down, and suddenly I heard a rustling sound in my ears, and it made my scalp tingle when I heard it.
