Chapter 008: The Tip of the Iceberg
Yes?
How so?
Only, only not!
Meng Xiaojing came back to her senses at this time, and unconsciously felt that her cheeks were feverish, her face was red, and her ears were red, but the facts were in front of her, and she was not good at arguing... So he could only stare at him with a pair of apricot eyes wide, and glared at him angrily: It's a pity that the kid took her little hand and walked in front leisurely, without even looking back, so he stared at him in vain, and people couldn't see it at all~
β......β
Somehow, I feel very aggrieved!
The little cute girl hated it so much that her teeth itched, but the kid didn't realize it.
Whew, that's annoying......
"Let's race!"
Xiao Jing was angry, in order to vent (or rather, to run in front of him so that he could see), so he suggested.
After speaking, without waiting for a certain text to react, he had already taken the lead in running forward along the stairs.
Rush-
Killβ
Whew!
β......β
Feed!
Hey, hey, heyβ
You're cheating!
Do you know about fouls?
Don't run, stop!
A certain article is so speechless, I want to shout, but the person has already run out of the boss.
So he had no other way but to keep his head in the back and catch up!
Run, run, run, run... Not to mention, after a burst of 'charge', the two quickly arrived at the 'end' one after the other.
At the end of this spiral staircase, there is a door.
It's closed.
Bang!
The next moment, uh. Maybe it was because of the disrepair, so he was kicked away by Xiao Jingfei.
β......β
What a wild girl......
Because this image is too similar to the 'tigress', it makes a certain Wen embarrassed, and she is embarrassed to say that she has to look away, and pretend to be stupid and pretend not to see it.
Then, this little cute girl who won the championship in the previous race because of cheating was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, happily, while holding her family board (played by a certain text... Well, it doesn't seem to be the right age ha@^__^@). While poking his little head curiously. Looking around nervously: sometimes touching here, sometimes touching there, always feeling that this is also strange, and that is also strange. Everything looks so funny... It looks like a curious baby. It's naughty and cute. It's really unspeakably likable~
Board... Uh, that's wrong, it's a certain article! He didn't say anything about her, just looked at her with a smile as he walked, and by the way, he enjoyed the great sense of accomplishment like a cute pet holding some kind of plush in his hand......
Of course, I don't know about the little cute girl in front of me, otherwise I have to have a real PK with this bad guy in the next moment!
(covering his mouth, snickering)
Well, ahem, to get down to business:
On the other side of the door, there is no subjective light source, but because the door is opened, there is a little light from the outside, dim, giving people the feeling of being dim and misty as walking on the forest path in the evening, but in this process, if you observe carefully, the surrounding things can still be seen (that is, you can't see clearly).
Here it is... A strange place.
I don't know what it is, but whether it's a stone beam or a spiral staircase, it's the top here, and through that door, they enter it as if they've entered some vast storage compartment.
Through the faint light that came in through the doorway, you can see that it is like a 'dark abyss' divided by countless rooms, most of which have closed doors, and only a few of them are half-covered and half-hidden because the doors are damaged by external forces......
Of course, this is not all, but only the 'tip of the iceberg' in this 'dark abyss'... In fact, when you walk through the door that has been kicked open, you feel as if you have entered another world.
A cold, silent world, completely engulfed in darkness......
As I walked forward, I felt the cold.
It's big, it's empty, and even breathing... The slightest stubble of sound is terrifyingly amplified in this place, and it sounds as if there is an echo, clearly lingering in the ears, and people can't help but be wary.
No matter how curious Xiao Jing is, there is no light, and she can't go far, and in the end, she still needs a certain text to hold her little hand and carefully lead the way in front.
Fortunately, this lord's night vision is not bad, so be cautious and cautious, and it is no problem to walk in front and act as a guide.
β... I think this is a huge storage compartment. β
After about five minutes of delving into it, a certain diploma muttered about his past experience... Looking at this kid's focused and serious expression like an archaeologist, I don't know if this sentence is for Xiao Jing or for himself?
The sound was originally not loud, but in this corner of the huge and fully enclosed space, it was very loud, and it was quite scary to come out suddenly.
β... Oh!"
Meng Xiaoqing, who was unfortunate enough to be taken aback by that sentence (sound quality & volume), was stunned in place, and after a long time, he came back to his senses, and immediately agreed to him with a relatively better volume unceremoniously.
"There's nothing to see here," a certain Wen who realized it afterwards was pretending to be a geologist at this time and carefully exploring the surrounding terrain and landforms, how could he have the strength to compete with her like this (admittedly he didn't notice it)?
As he spoke, regardless of whether Xiao Jing could really see in the darkness or not, he still subconsciously stretched out his hand and pointed to the rusty iron staircase leading to the upper floor at the corner in front of the left.
"Oh. β
"Okay!"
With Xiaoqing, normal people's eyesight is naturally invisible. But she believed him, and since he said so, there must be such a thing, so she only had to think in her mind, 'Suppose there is a staircase leading up to the next level.'"
Well.
It's good if you're okay.
Then a certain article was just as it said, and he took Xiaoqing and passed.
... At this time, you can clearly feel how important the sense of trust between two people is: otherwise, in this kind of place, no matter how you look at it, it seems that it will be haunted at any time, and it is really unclear what kind of bad things will happen.
It is true that the kind of relationship between these two children does not exist between these two children, so they can trust each other. So far, it has been moving forward in harmony.
Well... Of course, this issue is not the main one here. It's just that I met it, and I remembered it by chance and mentioned it in passing.
Cough.
Moving on to the second floor......
The overall structure of the second floor is a bit like a living suite. Is there wood?
And it's the kind of supporting facilities that are perfect. The space layout is reasonable (...) Is it more than 'reasonable'? It's simply 'intimate and human' to a certain outrageous degree), and the interior furniture and equipment are magnificent, no matter how you look at it. They all belong to the category of poverty and luxury, and only the rich with an annual salary of tens of millions can afford it~
... It's just that because the age is too old, the furniture, decorations, wall hangings, daily necessities, etc., are to a large extent damaged, dilapidated, and decayed very badly, and they look a little miserable......
However, even so, along the way, you can still experience the extravagance and luxury, and you can even imagine how it was at that time based on the antique furniture (which is said to be priceless antiques now, there is wood?).
It's a pity that after a thousand years, it still fell after all......
A certain article took Xiao Jing and walked forward, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart: I always feel that this place, if you look at it as a whole, how can it be like a luxury giant ship?
Walking up from the bottom, it feels like it's one or two floors, but in fact, on the other hand, for this huge dark building, they should belong to its 'ground floor' and 'penultimate floor', right?
Because, no matter how you look at it, it seems that you are going deep into it from the bottom of it, and then you are constantly exploring the past.
And the current environmental structure... It's really like a super luxurious and huge giant ship, is there wood?
But......
A certain text couldn't help but think of what he saw in the 'sea floor' (in fact, in the endless 'golden slime') before he went deep into it: at that time, he only felt that as far as the eye could see, a large area was completely dark... It feels as if there is an abandoned ancient continent above your head.
But after digging into it, I realized that it was not.
So, what exactly is this place?
Aircraft carriers?
... Thinking about it, it feels funny, but when I really want to laugh, I always feel depressed and sad in my heart, and in the end, even if I really pull the corners of my mouth, it just shows a sour, bitter expression (if you insist on thinking that it is a 'smile', it is counted).
Thinking about it, in terms of action, a certain article still took his little girl's little hand very responsibly and continued to grope forward cautiously.
"That's... Shall we go to the upper floor?"
After walking for a short time, I found a new staircase leading to the upper floor, and it happened that I had lost interest in this floor, so I suggested to the little cute girl behind me again.
"I'm hungry. β
Unexpectedly, the other party had a small face and told him seriously.
β......β
β......β
What does this mean?
I didn't react to a certain article at first, but after thinking about it carefully, I always felt that this situation should be a very common natural phenomenon of cute pets asking for material rewards (i.e., food) in order to supplement their internal consumption after accompanying their owners to go shopping.
"But, that... I've got snacks on me now......"
Hey, it's a big technical mistake to forget to carry 'dog food' when you go out!
"I'm hungry!"
The puppy was still yelling.
"Mome......"
A certain text, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to be patient, and reached out to stroke his cute pet's fluffy little head.
"Woo......"
... It's better not to touch it, this touch, the little guy is even more nervous, he simply threw himself into a certain Wen's arms, stretched out his paws to hug him, and rubbed around and around coquettishly, rubbing back and forth~
β......β
It's so cute, it's so cute......
There are cute pets to give them a hug, and a certain article is naturally going to be coaxed and loved... At the same time, I can't help but feel so happy and happy in my heart, I really want to give everything I have, as long as she is happy~
At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind, and I remembered that there seemed to be two or three pieces of candy in the package......
So I quickly figured it out and stuffed it all to her.
And then well~
Because the puppy is very content, the rest of the journey went very smoothly.
Well, of course, this 'smoothness' only happens before they reach the previous floor (i.e., the 'third-to-last' floor of the building) and encounter a new 'emergency'......
"Wow, it's so fragrant~"
As soon as she stepped onto the stairs of the 'third floor', Meng Xiaoqing smelled a strong aroma of food: it was mixed with the aroma of tender and juicy barbecued meat, mixed with the mellow aroma of broth, and the tempting aroma of all kinds of inexplicable delicacies that had just been baked... It's so beautiful that people can't help but salivate!
Xiao Jing couldn't help but swallow saliva in his stomach while abandoning a certain article (poor tragic male protagonist, I mourn for you... Completely involuntarily looking for the fragrance, against the rich darkness, I groped forward stupidly......
"Wait a minute!"
"Xiaoqing!"
"Don't go overβ"
Swish!
This should have been a complete three sentences, but a certain article had just begun, and before he could finish it, he suddenly saw an extremely thin wire arrow, the surface flashing with a dark and sharp metallic luster, slanting down and upward, shooting towards himself from the deep and rich darkness - (to be continued......
