I walked around the attic, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

The attic was dimly lit, but every plank didn't look like anything else might be fitted.

It's just that if those four people didn't hide in the attic on the second floor, then the rest should only be on the second floor.

But just now, I didn't notice anyone running upstairs.

"Could it be that you can really disappear out of thin air?"

Xie Chen muttered to himself, he absolutely didn't believe in this kind of result, but he didn't know where those four people had gone.

Anyway, it is impossible to disappear out of thin air, and if it can really disappear out of thin air, those guys don't have to pretend to take the foam box and leave the first time they are seen.

It's good to just disappear into thin air, and I can't find any trace of myself anyway.

But having said that, the current situation is very complicated, and I didn't come in at the first time just now, so I can only continue to go downstairs to check what the specific situation is.

Xie Chen turned his head and returned to the opening in the attic, and then the whole person sat on the floor of the attic, climbing the ladder below little by little and returned to the first floor.

Back on the first floor, Xie Chen hurriedly looked at the clock dial next to the coffee table.

The time on the top has not turned.

In other words, during the time I was on the top of the attic, the function of the pocket watch continued without any interruption.

This is good news for me, but only this time and twice, there is no guarantee that the next pocket watch will not be in trouble.

I am still very worried about this situation.

"Forget it, at least it's still useful for now, just hold on if you can."

Xie Chen reached into his pocket, took out the pocket watch, shook it, and after turning off the time stop effect, he stuffed the pocket watch into his pocket again.

Even if the effect of time stopping has been lifted now, there is still no unexpected situation in front of us.

Compared to just now, there is no difference between the first floor now and when I first came in.

After all, time stopped in the middle, so even if time is restored now, it is only the time period when I haven't gone to the attic yet.

Xie Chen glanced around again, continuing to remain vigilant.

In front of the coffee table, I reviewed it back and forth, and even the tea cans on the table were picked up and opened.

It's a pity that I didn't find anything strange in these tea cans.

The aroma of the tea flavor is particularly strong, and even after smelling it, it seems that the strange taste inhaled by the nose is much smaller.

However, when I just put down the tea can, this feeling disappeared immediately, and it didn't last long.

Xie Chen doesn't care, he just wants to confirm that these are really just tea.

Anyway, there was nothing wrong, and it was impossible for this coffee table to really hide four people.

Most likely, it was in the wooden boxes behind him, but it was a particularly difficult task to sift through four of the many wooden boxes that could hide in people.

And the time spent outside to check those fake dishes was not enough for all five people to hide.

Xie Chen turned and walked to the front.

I walked through the area of the foam boxes, but the foam boxes were filled with some cotton, which was a bit strange to me.

These cotton are not precious things, and they don't feel good to the touch, so why do you need to put them in these foam boxes?

But I can't get a specific answer, and I have to catch those four people to ask clearly.

Xie Chen slowly picked up one of the lumps of cotton with his hand, and then pinched it in the palm of his hand, but there was only a slight change.

This is the cotton in the box in another area, which is similar to the one I touched earlier, the only difference is that the feel has changed.

Compared with the one I touched at the beginning, the cotton in this area has a coarser fiber and is not so delicate.

But that's about it, the rest of the changes are not much at all.

Xie Chen stuffed the lump of cotton back in.

It's not like I haven't turned over a whole foam box of cotton to see if there is anything other than cotton inside?

But the result was unexpected, there was really nothing in such a large foam box except cotton.

Xie Chen was not discouraged, but put the foam box in a new place, and slowly walked towards the staircase leading to the second floor.

This staircase is paved with slate bricks, and the polished side is particularly smooth, and my feet almost feel like stepping on it.

Xie Chen rubbed his feet slightly on the surface of the steps, so that he could stabilize his body and not fall to the ground at once.

However, because of this, it is difficult to ensure that you are in shape when walking on the surface of such stairs.

If you are not careful, it is easy to have uneven force.

Fortunately, I held on to the handrail of the stairs, so that I would not accidentally fall on the stairs.

Xie Chen shook twice to the left and walked towards the second floor little by little.

But as soon as he reached the corner, a large iron fence gate appeared in front of him.

There was a large thick iron chain wrapped around the middle of the thing, and two particularly large iron locks hung from it.

Xie Chen was stunned, just from the entangled iron chains, he could conclude that those people definitely did not go up to the second floor.

If you run on the second floor tonight, even if this iron fence gate is locked, it will only be a simple little lock, how can this thick iron chain be bent into this shape?

Just this winding, plus the two iron locks have to be buckled in the right place, so that the iron chain and this big fence gate echo each other.

It would have to take more than a minute in between, otherwise it would have been impossible to lock this thing up perfectly.

It's too little time to hide in that situation, so how can it take so much time to lock this thing?

It's just fucking bullshit......

Xie Chen touched the iron lock in front of him with his hand, and the keyhole inside felt complicated just by looking at it.

This thing is no longer something that can be opened with just two wires, and Xie Chen also has a headache.

If you don't have to use other tools, you can only use the key to unlock the two locks in front of you.

But now I haven't even found anyone, let alone the key to the second floor.

Xie Chen let go of the two locks in his hands with both hands, turned around and cautiously went down to the second floor.

However, compared with going upstairs, the effort to go downstairs is more calm, and it is not so easy to fall, plus holding the staircase handle next to it, it seems more stable.

Xie Chen turned his head and quickly went downstairs, and was now standing in front of the staircase and watching.

I haven't found it myself, and I can't go up to the second floor.

Thinking about it left and right, it seems that there is no room for me to move.

"Or do you want to go straight to Big Ben now? Wouldn't it be more secure......"

Xie Chen looked out the door, and at this time, there was not a single pedestrian passing by on the side of the road, and no one moved the goods that were placed.

It's true that there is no business outside, but it doesn't feel like a shop.

It's more like some kind of pile of things, dressed as a wolf in sheep's clothing.

But in fact, he only noticed that something was wrong, and the few people who were hiding from him were also one of them.

In addition, I can't produce evidence, I can't prove what is strange here, and I can't find those four people.

It's a very awkward situation.

Even if you know that something is wrong here, you can't solve everything one by one.

Xie Chen stretched his waist and slowly came to the coffee table in front of him and sat down.

But he didn't dare touch anything on it, let alone take a sip of water.

If you add something to it, you can send yourself away in one bite.

In this regard, I am still very taboo and jealous.

Xie Chen looked ahead, and beyond the wooden boxes stacked in front of him, there was the ladder in the distance.

The front was pressed very low, because of the attic, although this is also a normal thing.

Xie Chen gently compared it with his hands, but the final conclusion was still the same as before.

The exterior of the attic is actually no different from the inside of the attic.

The only thing that's a little different is that the outside is a little better, and the inside of the attic looks very dim.

But this difference is of no use.

The only thing I don't understand is why the attic was completely sealed?

There is a small opening underneath, but it can only accommodate one person up and down.

Isn't the purpose of the attic to store goods?

If even people can barely pass, how can the goods be stored?

It's not just the small pieces that are sold here, you can store a lot of them as soon as they are stored, and they can even be transported down through such a small opening.

Besides, there is no light in the attic.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be all the lights arranged, right?

Otherwise, it is inconvenient to go up and down, let alone what is the meaning of the existence of this attic......

Xie Chen was a little helpless.

But although he thinks according to the thinking of normal people, it is precisely because of these unreasonable places that they all appear in front of him.

The more unreasonable I felt, the more confusing the existence of this attic became.

And in front of this funny and hilarious scene, the purpose of the attic's original existence was to store things and make the rest of the home look cleaner and tidier.

But now there are boxes piled up underneath, and there are many white foam boxes on the sides of the coffee table.

In fact, there are not only wool, but also many other fragments, but they are not listed.

If you look at it this way, there is no need for the attic in front of you to exist at all.

"Not to mention, it's like a ...... used to induce vision."

Xie Chen supported his cheeks with his hands, looked at the attic in front of him and thought for a while, and then said casually.
