Chapter 200 The torture chamber

After a series of machine sounds, the eighth iron door bounced open with a bang.

The oil lamp next to the door's seam flickered and jumped several times in succession, marking the exchange of air between the inside and outside of the door. A stream of turbid air visible to the naked eye surged out from the iron door.

The oil lamp bounced but did not go out, indicating that the air inside the iron door was at least not lacking in oxygen. However, the thin smoke-like gas still made Xiao Ran and the other two people murmur in their hearts.

Seeing that there was no movement inside the door for a long time, the three of them returned to the iron door and simply opened the door wide to disperse any potentially harmful gases inside.

The air inside and outside the door came and went like a push. After a while, the mist-like turbid air became lighter and lighter until it finally disappeared.

Xiao Ran asked Xu Er to light the torch and stretched it to the door. When he saw the flame swaying back and forth with the breeze but not weakening at all, he knew it was time.

He took a flashlight at the door and saw that there were two gates from top to bottom inside the iron gate. The outer one had a grid so that you could see into the door, and the inner one had a seal about two inches thick.

iron gate.

No wonder the door kept making noises when the key was turned just now. It turned out that three doors were being opened in succession.

With so many layers of protection in this room, could it be the treasure pavilion of Tianling Sanren? Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel excited, but he listened carefully, but there was no sound.

He took a photo with a flashlight and found that the left side of the three doors was almost close to the wall. After entering the door, there was a downward staircase with about a dozen steps. As a whole, the room was on the right side of the door.

This is the first time I have seen such a layout in this hall. The doors of other rooms are basically in the middle of the room.

The air inside the door was still turbid, with bits of dust floating in the air, and there seemed to be a burning smell. Xiao Ran asked the two of them to wait outside the door while he went down to investigate first.

This time, Xiao Ran felt a little excited, because there was air flowing out of the door, indicating that there must be a passage leading to other places.

He carefully walked down the stairs and found that the space of this room was far larger than every room he had seen before, with a floor height of nearly ten meters and an area of ​​about three hundred square meters.

In the center of the room is a stone platform like a big bed, with locks on the four corners for fixing the limbs. There are three grooves on the left, center and right running through the stone bed, and there is also a circular depression slightly smaller than a human head at the head.

, a small hole in the center leads all the way to the bottom of the stone bed.

Xiao Ran looked down along the small hole passage and the grooves on the bed, and found that there was also a dent below the ground on the ground at the end of these grooves and the small hole, extending all the way to the stone cave under the door of the room.

This stone bed is an operating bed, or an anatomy bed. These indentations and holes are convenient for cleaning blood and other things from the experimental target.

Judging from the experimental notes of Tianling Sanren, he should not only give medicine to the experimental subjects and then conduct observations, but may also have performed evil acts such as corpses and even vivisection, such as the pregnant woman who took the living pill.

Xiao Ran couldn't help but admire this Tianling Sanren. No one knew where he had gone, but he could still use the things he left behind to continue to deepen Xiao Ran's obsession to crush him to ashes.

Xiao Ran continued to look with the flashlight, and sure enough, he found a half-person-high table next to the stone bed, which was piled with various daggers, iron hooks, stone hammers, iron awls, scissors and other objects, as well as ceramic bowls.

It is fully equipped with dishes, utensils, etc., which should be the tools used by Tianling San people at that time.

These tools look less like surgical tools and more like torture instruments.

At the foot of the stone platform, there were several broken buckets that were leaning over. Xiao Ran accidentally touched them and startled a nest of mice, which ran towards the corner of the dark place, squeaking and screaming.

He walked further into the room and saw two iron cages half as tall as a man in the corner. The doors were open and there was nothing inside. There was a large wooden shelf next to the cages, at an angle of about thirty degrees to the ground.

, the four corners also have locks for solid limbs.

On the ground below the wooden frame, a sunken stone trough moves forward, merges with the stone trough on the ground beside the stone bed, and leads together to the small hole under the door.

If you guessed it correctly, this is a blood-letting stand, on which the experimental target can be fixed head-down, and then the blood-letting process can be performed.

From the entrance to the wall at the other end, Xiao Ran didn't find an exit leading to the outside, so he had to go back and target the left and right walls.

Walking to the middle, he found that in the middle of the left wall, there was a gentle slope, extending from the ground to the wall. The height was about the same as the stairs at the iron gate. The middle of the gentle slope was slightly concave, about one meter wide. There was another slope next to the gentle slope.

The wooden rack for storing weapons stood against the wall, but what was placed on the wooden rack was a tool like a horse pole, with a cloth bag on one end of a strong long stick.

Xiao Ran shined his flashlight at the top of the wall, at the end of the gentle slope. There was a small door half as tall as a man.

Is that the exit? Xiao Ran quickly climbed up along the groove and squatted in front of the small door to check. But this small door was also a small gate from top to bottom, and there was no keyhole or mechanism to open it. Xiao Ran used a knife to open it.

He knocked on the small door with his handle, feeling that the tools in his hands were far from being able to break the door open.

At this time, there was a clanking sound below. He looked over with his flashlight and saw that a small bucket on the ground had fallen over and was lying on the ground shaking. The dust stirred up on the ground next to him was being blown away under the light.

A stream of air blew towards the door.

Judging from the direction of this airflow, the air outlet should be directly opposite.

Xiao Ran raised his hand and saw a wider gentle slope on the opposite side, which also extended from the ground to the right wall. At the end of the gentle slope, there was also a hole half a person high, but the gate there was half-open, and there was constant confusion.

Dusty air blows out of it.

Xiao Ran was overjoyed. Could it be that there was a vent? And judging from the amount of air blowing, there was no blockage at all, which should be enough for them to climb out.

Xiao Ran jumped down from the stone gate and went straight to the gentle slope on the other side. Under the gentle slope of the right wall, he saw two broken trolleys lying staggering on the ground, one of which even had its wheels rotted off.

He wondered why the cart was placed at the vent? Could it be that the Tianling people took away a lot of valuable treasures before they left and needed to be transported up on the cart?

Without having time to think about it, he rushed to the end of the gentle slope in a few steps and raised the stone gate with both hands.

A burst of hot air mixed with ash rushed over, and he quickly tilted his head to get out of the way. When the ash cleared, he looked into the gate and saw that behind the door was a sloping downward passage. On the ground at the end, there were piles of

It was full of dead bones and mutilations, and there were flashes of fire outside the cave.

A bad premonition arose in his heart. At this time, a burning fireball rolled past the entrance of the cave, and the half-burnt face on the fireball happened to appear in his field of vision.

A wave of nausea and disappointment surged up in Xiao Ran's heart at the same time, and turned into the same physiological reaction: retching.

He quickly closed the stone door, and the heat mixed with the burning smell suddenly decreased a lot. He secretly taunted in his heart that he should have thought that to the right of this torture chamber-like operating room was the abandoned corpse pit behind the seventh door they had opened before.

.

No wonder there is only a small platform at the entrance of the abandoned corpse pit. It turns out that the real abandoned corpse passage is here. The test objects used by Tianling Sanren, whether dead or alive, will be pushed on a cart to the gentle slope and thrown along the passage behind the stone gate.

In the corpse pit next door.

Xiao Ran suddenly felt a little discouraged. It seemed that there was no way out of this room.

Suddenly, there was a faint clattering sound on the ground. He raised his flashlight to shine and saw a slight wind blowing from the ground next to him, raising a puff of gray smoke.
