Chapter 487: Eyes
"Are you afraid?"
Being so agitated by Changning, who was standing behind, Yun Yi took a deep breath and directly raised his foot and stepped over the threshold.
I shone a flashlight into it and immediately concluded, "This looks like a restaurant." ”
And the people came in.
Under the light of the flashlight, there were more than a dozen tables neatly placed in the spacious lobby in front of me, chairs and benches were neatly placed on the tabletop, and there were even a few unopened wine jars on the innermost counter.
Except that there is a thick layer of dust on both the ground and the furniture, which is no different from the ancient inns that have just closed in costume dramas.
As everyone walked back and forth in the lobby, there were many messy footprints on the dusty floor.
Yun Yi walked to the counter and wanted to open the wine jar to see if there was any wine in it, but just as she was about to move, Changning, who was not far from her, slapped the back of her hand, "Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, do you know?" If there is anything terrible in this jar, you will release it when you open it, and we will all die. If you want to die, you can, don't take me with you. ”
"It's a lot of hands!" Yun Yi covered his hand that was already red after being slapped, grinned his teeth, and decisively admitted his mistake, "I was wrong, I don't dare anymore." ”
Jiang Lingxi and Xu Zhao retracted their gazes.
"I'll go behind the counter and have a look."
"Then I'll take someone to the second floor."
Jiang Lingxi walked around to the back of the counter, opened the half-open drawer, and saw several thick account books inside, and was about to carefully take them out to see if the account book could see the specific age of the ancient desert capital, when he heard a very small movement behind the screen on the other side.
Suddenly turned his head to look over, "Who?" ”
No response.
That's not your own side.
Changning was stunned for a moment, then walked to the back of the screen vigilantly and looked at it carefully, "Sister Xi, no one." ”
"Maybe I misheard."
There was no movement behind the screen, Jiang Lingxi put her hand on the top account book, but before she could pick it up, she felt the fragility of the paper, and she was afraid that if she took it, the account book would fall apart, so she could only give up.
When Xu Zhao came down after taking someone to explore the guest room on the second floor, everyone went out.
Jiang Lingxi deliberately fell last, and when he was about to close the door again, he suddenly shone inside with a flashlight.
A pair of glowing green eyes flashed by the counter screen, so fast that she thought it was her own delusion.
Then he inspected several more houses, both for his own and for business, and found nothing unusual except for the thick dust.
"What time is it?"
"It's almost four o'clock in the morning."
"Then let's not go for now, find a place where you can rest, summarize your previous findings, and then take turns to rest."
Yun Yi raised his hand and proposed, "If you rest, the private house just now is good, spacious, there is a bed in the corner, Sister Xi and Changning, you girls are better to sleep in the bed, just put a sleeping bag." ”
The proposal was unanimously approved.
The place was not only spacious but also quite close, and after such a long period of action, everyone's physical strength had decreased a lot, and they didn't want to run far to find a place to rest.
It took less than ten minutes for more than a dozen people to clean up, and basically just swept the ash on the surface.
After cleaning up, everyone gathered in a circle.
"If you find something, you don't have to think about whether it's useful or not."
Changning raised his hand and spoke first: "The houses in this ruins are all in order. And except for large pieces of furniture, other things such as food and daily utensils are not available. I wonder if the people who once lived here moved away. ”
"That's what I'm guessing too." Xu Zhao waited for her to finish and nodded approvingly, "This site is in the desert, it is likely that because the climatic conditions are getting worse and worse, people can't live and choose to move out." ”
“……”
After everyone finished talking, in the end, only Jiang Lingxi had not spoken.
Jiang Lingxi met everyone's gaze, "It seems that everyone agrees with the conclusion that the ruins of the ancient capital were abandoned and the residents moved away in an orderly and prepared manner." Before everyone could nod, her tone changed, "But there is a detail that I don't know if you have noticed, whether it is the house in this ruins or the furniture in the house, there are no traces of use." No matter how much a person takes care of his house, it is impossible for him to have no traces of use, right? ”
Yun Yi had already stood up and wiped a small long table by the wall with his hands.
I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now I look closely.
The table was too old and old, and there was not a single scratch on it.
This can also explain that it is new, but when you look at the other furniture, it is really the same, there is no trace of use.
"It's also possible that you just moved in......"
Halfway through the sentence, he couldn't go on.
The environment can't get worse all at once, and it takes a lot of time to build this city in the desert just by building it.
Who would go to such great lengths to build a city that would not last long!
Are you tired and have nothing to do?
Yun Yi sat back with a suspicious expression, "How can this be?" ”
Xu Zhao's face was also a little more solemn, "In this way, I'm afraid our previous guesses will be overturned." ”
The room fell silent for a moment.
With this puzzling discovery, everyone's mood also calmed down.
Jiang Lingxi hesitated when she saw this, but she still didn't say that she seemed to have seen a pair of eyes before.
After all, even she herself is not very sure, and it may be because she is dazzled by the busy night.
"Let's take turns to rest first, recuperate and then look for other clues."
However, in such a strange place, it is impossible to sleep deeply, and you can only sleep lightly to relax your mind.
The other side.
Yin Chong hasn't rested yet.
"How many people are sent out by the heavy ten?"
"Five."
"Five against sixteen, he's really confident." Yin Chong said and sneered, "Did the people I asked you send out find any traces of them unconsciously?" ”
Luan Hua paused and shook his head, "Not yet." ”
"Jiang Lingxi, they don't have to worry about it at the moment, the key is to be unconscious, and they can't let them successfully converge. Besides," Yin Chong looked at the table in front of him that had been wiped exceptionally clean by his subordinates, "I always felt that this place was a little weird. ”
"Weird?"
"I can't say it, in short, don't be careless at any time, be careful."
Luan Hua nodded seriously, since the adult said that it was strange, even if she didn't see anything, she didn't dare to take it lightly.
"It's not too early, let's go and rest first."
Luan Hua went out as he said.
Their current location is in a large mansion, but it is only a large mansion compared to the other houses in the ruins.
Nearly forty people lived in one courtyard, except for the adults and the heavy ten, the others were several people in a room, and it was a little crowded.
Before going back to the room where he was going to stay tonight, Luan Hua thought of what Lord Fang Cai said, and planned to personally patrol around the courtyard before going back.
Walking to the door, she frowned, "Why isn't this gate closed?" ”
The two people guarding the door saw the person coming and quickly explained: "This gate is not tight, it should be too old and the wood is deformed." Sister Luan, rest assured, we are here to ensure that mosquitoes can't fly in. ”
"There are no mosquitoes underground, so naturally they can't fly in." Luan Hua didn't have a good airway, and walked over as he spoke, "I'll try it." ”
The door was opened, and Luan Hua's arm exerted force, seeing that the door was about to be tightly closed.
A big, round red eye suddenly appeared outside the crack in the door, blinked and disappeared, as fast as if it were an illusion!
