Fuyuki and Kuroda groped their way through the pitch-black corridor. Both turned on their phones, but the light of their phones could not penetrate the bottomless darkness of the tunnel.

"Oh my God, this is ......," Kuroda said in a dreamy voice.

"It's a mine." Fuyuki leaned down and stroked the icy rails beneath his feet.

There is no dark room at all underneath the office...... Rather, it's a tunnel that leads deep underground.

……

In front of Chen Qiang and the others was a large empty office, with several documents scattered on the desktop, and the wastepaper basket in the corner was knocked over by someone.

"Please come in." The priestess pretended that nothing had happened and made a "please" gesture with human etiquette.

The priestess was familiar with the situation in the office, and could tell at a glance that there was an uninvited guest intruding into the office. But not necessarily with the investigators.

[Chen Qiang's investigation failed 75/72]

[Helena Detection Test 83/55 Failed]

[Mrs. Meghan Investigation Test 86/90 Success]

[Cessial's investigation test 97/46 failed]

"I'm first." Cecilu rushed ahead of Chen Qiang with an arrow step.

Mao Mei's attention was completely focused on protecting Chen Qiang, and she kicked on the metal threshold of the security door. Cecilu, who lost her balance, stumbled suddenly, but thanks to Helena next to her, she pulled in time to prevent her from falling......

Suddenly, there was a small "congestion" at the door.

"You guys look like you're in trouble," Mrs. Meghan, who was experienced in on-site investigations, whispered to the priestess while everyone's attention was focused on the hairy girl who was in natural stay-at-home mode, "Need help?" I don't want our talks to be discovered by intruders. ”

[Robin Lawyer listened to the test 15/30 success]

"Mrs. Meghan, what's going on?" Not far away, lawyer Robin, who didn't care about Cecilu's situation in the slightest, heard Mrs. Meghan's words and asked in surprise. Behind him, a crowd rushed in.

[Robin's lawyer failed the investigation and verification 74/29]

[Qin Lingxue's investigation and verification failed 84/44]

[Sayoko Investigation Test 53/34 Failed]

[Gu Shiyin Investigation Verification 73/35 Failed]

Mrs. Meghan glanced at everyone. Except for Chen Qiang, who showed an unfathomable smile, everyone else looked like they didn't know why.

Chen Qiang knew that Mrs. Meghan must have found something, but the problem was that he didn't know what Mrs. Meghan had found.

It's good to keep smiling at times like this.

"We can handle it." The priestess's voice became stiffer.

"This room has just been burglarized," Mrs. Meghan did not help the ghouls hide the truth, "maybe worse." When the intruders heard that we were coming, they hurriedly tried to put everything back in place, only to leave a few clues. ”

"Sounds like a thief of the very high level," Attorney Robin clasped his hands to his chest, "do you need to ring the alarm bell?" Or catch a thief? ”

The atmosphere at the scene instantly became tense. Helena held her cheeks as if she were in deep thought; Sayoko looked around vigilantly, for fear that the prisoner was still hiding somewhere in the house; Cecilu, who was a little ashamed in her heart, quietly took a few steps closer to Chen Qiang and Qin Lingxue, and grabbed the hilt of the short dagger at her waist.

If the Eaters here are powerless to keep them safe...... Cecilu thought that the people would have to choose to protect themselves.

Only Khira remained unconditioned, engrossed in admiring the flowers and plants in the office.

The priestess muttered for a moment.

A sudden intruder, this kind of thing was completely unexpected by her.

But the plans of the Eaters do not allow any unexpected circumstances to interfere.

"Please wait a moment," the priestess bowed slightly, "and we will take care of our Eaters' problems. Until then, I will always be with you to keep you safe. ”

Everyone nodded. If the priestess had left alone, the crowd would have wondered if the ghouls had "had something else in mind."

But the priestess had a different emotion in her heart.

That's fine...... The priestess thought to herself.

There were more people on the other side than expected. If they were all introduced into the mine in one go, these experienced investigators might be unnecessarily suspicious. Maybe they will split into two waves and leave the important Chen Qiang and others on the ground.

The only person the Eater Clan wants to befriend is Chen Qiang.

Except for Chen Qiang, no one else was eligible to be entertained by the great Mordicgian. There's no need to care too much about their feelings.

……

Fuyuki and Kuroda in the mine are still in shock.

Since the Taisho period, Hokkaido's mining industry has been an important pillar industry in the region. Since the early years of the Showa era, Dongying plundered many laborers from the peninsula across the sea and the country of China, forcing them to work here, and the local Ainu people did not escape the fate of enslavement.

After the defeat of the Toei War, the laborers were liberated, and the minerals were largely mined by the locals, and eventually declined year after year under the suppression of official policies, until they were completely abandoned.

In addition to labor costs and environmental considerations, the government does not want to let the mining industry affect the local tourism industry.

"It's been abandoned for at least thirty years," Fuyuki sighed, the tunnels stretched in all directions like a huge labyrinth, the pit was older than him, maybe it had been mined since his grandfather was a child, "it's very well preserved." ”

The trapdoor was closed, but the air inside the pit was still fresh. This means that there must be other exits here, Fuyuki thought.

[Kuroda Investigation Examination 28/30 Success]

"Leave that alone...... Kuroda's voice seemed to tremble, "Fuyuki-kun, come and see this!" The railroad tracks here ......"

"What's so surprising about the mere mine rails?" Fuyuki disdainful, "Maybe it was a century ago......"

"It's new." Kuroda said fearfully.

"What?"

"The rails are new," Kuroda repeated, reconfirming the sleepers and the dust, "and they're still in use." ”

The two looked at each other. A chilling sensation crept into the hearts of the two of them.

"Fuyuki-kun," Kuroda became more and more convinced that the two of them had broken into the base camp of some mysterious gang, "let's go quickly!" ”

"Don't be afraid. Doesn't this confirm my previous suspicions? "The cattle farm on the ground is just a façade, and they use the old mine pit to know what they're doing. ”

In fact, Fuyuki didn't want to flee directly, but now that there was no way out, they could only go inside and find other exits.

I don't know how long it has been-

"Fuyuki-kun, is it getting cold?" Kuroda shuddered suddenly.

"It must be an illusion," Fuyuki also noticed the sudden drop in temperature, but he was reluctant to admit the anomaly, "My father often took me out to play in the winter, and sometimes it wasn't really cold, it was just an illusion. ”

The two turned a corner. A quaint wooden door appeared in front of the two of them.

"It's an exit." A relaxed expression appeared on Fuyuki's face, and he reached for the door.

"Wait......" Kuroda realized something was wrong.
