Behind the secret door was a passage downward, dark and damp, with a few oil lamps lit on the stone railing of the steps, which stretched deep underground.

The secret room is not in the room, but in the basement.

Mr. Zuo once told me that any Jianghu sect, for its own safety, will build places such as secret passages and dark rooms in hidden places.

Once they encounter a major crisis, the core members of the sect will use these secret passages and dark rooms to escape.

Killing the door is the top gate faction in the rivers and lakes, and there are many enemies, and there will definitely be no shortage of secret passages and dark rooms built.

"You're smarter than I thought you knew there was a secret room."

The anger on the girl's face did not subside, but her voice was very gentle: "I'm not afraid to tell you that Zhou Mei's little goblin is in the secret room at the moment." However, it may have been used as a test by my brothers and sisters, and they are ready to be dismantled......"

Hearing this, I was very angry, but my face was silent, thinking that I had to get this little girl done first, and then I would go to Zhou Mei to be safe.

lest as soon as I go in with my front feet, the little girl will do something with her back feet.

As for her saying that Zhou Mei would be used as an experiment, I can't believe it, or I don't want to believe it.

No matter how Zhou Mei says, she is also Zhou Jixian's daughter, even if it is nominal, it is still valuable in the Zhou family.

Otherwise, Zhou Jixian would never let her live until now.

Of course, this is just a speculation based on facts, and I don't know what the real situation is.

So after hearing the girl's words, I was still anxious.

However, in a hurry, I kept my sanity.

The more this time, the more you have to force yourself to calm down.

The girl took the initiative to tell me about Zhou Mei's situation, and her purpose was to let me enter the secret room.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

She's luring me in.

"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you go find that little goblin, maybe we'll see you one last time! ”

Seeing that I was standing still, the girl smiled sweetly: "Actually, I am quite reluctant to Zhou Mei, after all, she is my cousin Zhou Yanxiao, and her father is my second uncle." ”

I was slightly stunned, no wonder the two looked so similar, it turned out to be cousins who were related by blood.

However, since they are relatives whose blood is thicker than water, why is Zhou Yanxiao so indifferent to Zhou Mei?

is not only indifferent, but even shows a cruelty that wants to put Zhou Mei to death.

I stopped my feet that were about to step into the secret room, turned around and took two steps towards Zhou Yanxiao, and said lightly: "It seems that I guessed wrong before, your goal is not to arrest me, but to guide me into the secret room, right?" ”

Zhou Yanxiao didn't answer, but the expression on her face was very rich, and she had already told me the answer.

"You don't believe that Zhou Mei is in the secret room?"

After a moment of silence, Zhou Yanxiao diverted the topic and asked.

"Of course I believe it, but as long as I go in, I will definitely be trapped and even killed."

I replied, "Zhou Jixian has already laid a net in the underground secret room, just waiting for me to drill into it." Even if I met Zhou Mei, if I couldn't hand over the key to her before dawn, tonight's test would have been a complete failure. ”

"So, although the tasks given to you by Zhou Jixian are different, the overall goal is the same, which is to prevent me from meeting with Zhou Mei and give her the key, right?"

Zhou Yanxiao looked surprised.

Also verified again, my guess was completely correct.

There is another thing I didn't tell Zhou Yanxiao, as long as I put her life in danger and don't have to go to the underground secret room at all, Zhou Jixian will take Zhou Mei out safe and sound.

The reason is simple.

Zhou Yanxiao is not an ordinary disciple of the killing sect, but a new generation with the blood of the Zhou family.

It is even possible that she was born to Zhou Jixian.

I glanced at Zhou Yanxiao meaningfully and walked slowly towards her.

"You...... What do you want? ”

Zhou Yanxiao seemed to have guessed my intentions, and she was so frightened that she retreated again and again, and her hand holding the soft whip was trembling.

Just now, her voice was all pretending.

Ever since I saw through her disguise, she's been hiding her panic.

The purpose of the camouflage is to surprise the attack.

But once the sneak attack fails.

If the strength is not good, it will be very dangerous.

And Zhou Yanxiao is in front of me, and she has no strength to protect herself at all.

"You said that if I use your life to exchange Zhou Mei's freedom, will Zhou Jixian agree?"

I simply had a showdown and defeated Zhou Yanxiao psychologically.

Zhou Yanxiao's face changed greatly, turned around, and quickly ran towards the door.

I popped out two stones and hit her calf points.

"Ahh

Zhou Yanxiao screamed, her legs were weak, and she knelt directly on the ground.

But she didn't rest on her laurels, and turned around with a whip.

I didn't retreat, but I reached out and grabbed the soft whip and wrapped it around my palm a few times.

Then he pulled hard and snatched the soft whip from Zhou Yanxiao's hand.

Zhou Yanxiao was completely stunned.

This soft whip is her greatest reliance.

Now that the dependence is gone, fear will weigh on her like a mountain, and it won't be long before her mentality can collapse.

Zhou Yanxiao's face turned pale, and her hands still maintained the posture of holding the whip just now, and she didn't seem to have come back to her senses.

The next moment, she burst into tears and begged me to let her go.

also said that as long as I let her go, she can ensure Zhou Mei's thoughtfulness.

To be honest, just because Zhou Yanxiao cried and begged for mercy, she was not qualified to become a disciple of the killing sect.

In addition to camouflage and charm, other methods are not worse than Lin Feng, Xiaoyan and others I met before.

I don't know how Zhou Jixian will feel when he sees her like this.

"Cooperate well with me to rescue Zhou Mei, I won't embarrass you."

I picked up the tiger-striped knife in the iron cage, walked to Zhou Yanxiao's side, and put the knife on her neck: "No matter what method you use, before dawn, I want to see Zhou Mei here." Otherwise, don't blame me for not being pitiful. ”

Zhou Yanxiao trembled all over, her teeth chattering.

Pointing to the entrance of the secret room with trembling hands, he said, "The ...... On the fence of the first step, there is a red button......"

As long as you press the button, the people in the underground secret room will bring Zhou Mei up.

This is what Zhou Yanxiao agreed with those people.

It's just that the original meaning of the code was that Zhou Yanxiao took me down, or it was already dawn, and I didn't pass this test of experience in the end.

At that time, Zhou Mei was no longer useful to them.

Originally, Zhou Ji first arranged for the two of them to ambush in the room, and when she sneaked attacked, he would help her.

But Zhou Yanxiao is Zhou Jixian's niece, and she has always been very conceited among the new generation of people who killed the door. thought that with his own ability, he was enough to deal with me, so he took the person arranged by Zhou Ji first.

As for what she said just now that Zhou Mei was used as an experimental object in the underground secret room, she made it up completely in order to stimulate me.

I felt a little relieved, and took Zhou Yanxiao to the front of the steps, and sure enough, I saw the button she said.

This is a protective device arranged in the underground secret room of the killing door.

Zhou Yanxiao told me that the underground secret room is the core place of the Zhou family and the killing door, and it belongs to the forbidden land. Usually, only a few core disciples and some important members of the Killing Sect are eligible to enter after obtaining Zhou Jixian's permission.

Once a strong enemy is attacking, you can trigger the alarm system through the button at the entrance to report to the people in the underground secret room.

This thing was still very rare and avant-garde in the mainland at that time.

I asked Zhou Yanxiao to press the button with her own hands.
