Chapter 65: The Underground Cage

Liang Yuanque got up from the ground and kicked the ground with his foot, and found that there was much less sludge in this area than on the other ground, but there were many strange fallen leaves.

It seems that these fallen leaves were not dropped by the old trees in the garden that were about to die, but were artificially laid here.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Liang Yuanque grabbed the handle he had just discovered, and pulled it hard, and the ground was lifted by him like a manhole cover, and an underground entrance to a black hole appeared in front of him.

He took out a lighter from his backpack and lit it, and the flames shook as they approached the hole, indicating that it was not as small as the hole, and there should be a large space in it, and there was still wind circulation.

Not long ago, he bought a flashlight, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly, he used the flashlight to shine at the entrance of the cave, and found that the hole was about the same size and depth as a well, and the hole extended down to this iron ladder.

He put the flashlight in his mouth and carefully descended with the iron ladder.

At the bottom of the well, an iron gate is installed on the wall on one side, and the door is very low, which is slightly larger than the dog hole.

The iron gate was rusty, and a huge lock hung from it, like a puppy that had just reached the full moon with an arm-thick chain.

This old-fashioned lock can lock others but not Liang Yuanque, with his skills, he can easily pry it open with a spoon.

He took out his tools from his bag, stabbed the lock open, and when he entered, he was a little stunned.

When he was outside, he imagined that it might be a cruel execution ground, maybe it was a dungeon where people were being held, but it was a fucking bathroom.

There are both shower heads and baths, and they are clean, but the size of the bath is strange, a little too big for a single person, and a little too small for the large bath used in the bathhouse.

Liang Yuanque used a flashlight to shine around the bathroom, found the light switch, and when he turned it on, he saw that there was an iron door on one wall of the bathroom, which was exactly the same as the one outside.

So he came to the second iron door, and as soon as he got closer, he smelled a foul smell that did not come from decomposing corpses, but more like the smell of unhygienic people mixed with the accumulation of excrement.

The smell came through the crack in the door, and it was clear that the room behind the door was not as clean as the current bathroom.

Liang Yuanque, covering his mouth and nose, endured nausea and picked the lock, the moment he opened the door, the smell came like a wave, he couldn't help but bend over and retch, but when he opened his mouth, it gave the smell even more opportunities to show his strength.

He could only shut up immediately, cover his mouth and nose tightly with one hand, and move forward with a flashlight in the other.

The foul-smelling room, which looked like a prison cell of his imagination, had only three beds in it, and nothing else, not even a futon on the bed.

The cell had no electric light, no windows, and only a baby's fist-sized vent on the top of a corner where a faint light shone through.

In the corner opposite the vent, there was a pile of hardened excrement, which was supposed to be the main source of the foul smell in this room.

Liang Yuanque shone a flashlight on it, and found a corner of his clothes peeking out under the bed, and he pulled it and found that it was full of women's clothes, and the number of these clothes was enough to prove how many poor girls had been imprisoned here.

There is a bed on the head, there are shallow notches, it seems that some girl has used the hairpin on her body to mark the day.

Liang Yuanque counted, there were a total of five notches, so was she sent away on the sixth day, or did she die in this dark day?

There were no more details in the cell, and Liang Yuanqi sighed, and when he turned to leave, he found that behind the iron door he had just opened, there were countless sharp scratches, and there were dried blood stains on the scratches.

The girls who were locked up here also desperately begged for help, but no one would hear their screams of grief.

Liang Yuanque has also seen too many tragic cases in his life, and this tragic murder of a girl is enough to occupy a pivotal position in his knowledge.

He used to have a mother, an older sister, and a woman of this age in the family, and he looked at the scratches on the iron door, and when he thought about it, he felt that his heart was about to burst.

At this moment, he heard through the exhaust port that someone seemed to be looking for him, and hurriedly left, locked the two iron doors as fast as he could, and jumped on the wall of the well with both feet.

Fortunately, when he came down, he noticed that the surface of the well wall was rough, and he himself was very dexterous, so he stuck to the wall of the well.

Sure enough, not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and two housekeepers walked down with flashlights, one of whom was still talking to the other.

"Hey, I'll just say he can't find it here!"

The other snorted, "Tsk, but I see that the wellhead seems to have been removed." ”

The family who spoke at the beginning seemed to want to prove himself, and swept around with a flashlight, "Look, where is someone!" ”

Of course, he didn't notice that Liang Yuanque was hanging in the darkness above his head at the moment, trying to hold his breath.

"Could it be that you went in?" The more suspicious family raised his flashlight to check the iron door, and said to himself while looking at it, "Hey, weird, the door is locked." ”

"I'll just say you're thinking too much," said Jiading, and leaned against the wall of the well with his arms crossed, "I said that you are almost done, it's been such a morning, and you are fighting and looking for someone, and you are going to be exhausted, so let's go back and report that the kid didn't find this side, and then go and rest." ”

Liang Yuanqi was terrified when he looked at him leaning over, because he only had to lift his head slightly, and he could feel a pair of feet above his head.

Liang Yuanque is not good at property and fighting, these two families are quite strong at a rough glance, if there is a conflict, then he will only be fucked.

He prayed that the two members of the family would go in and have a look, so that he could escape.

But the two ladies disappointed him, and they turned around the door several times, but never dared to go in.

The talkative family said that so many people had died here, and he felt furious in his heart as soon as he came over, and he had heard from others that other family members had seen ghosts here.

The conversation between them provided some clues to Liang Yuanque.

They were debating whether the girl who died here was a ghost or a starving ghost, and the suspicious man said that the ghost should not float here, but under the old elm tree in the garden.

It's strange to say, so many corpses are buried under the tree, and the old tree is getting drier and drier, so there is really something to do, right?
