"If you search like this all over the place, you won't be able to finish it even if you search for years and months!"
Although he said so, Zhao Zichao still carefully searched for clues on the white marble wall. They didn't have much time, so they had to race against time.
The light emitted by the flashlight becomes increasingly dimmer, which is a sign that the battery is low.
In this case, if they cannot find a replacement for the light source as soon as possible, they are no different from being blind.
"There's no way," Lin Xi spread her hands, her voice a little helpless, "I've searched all other places, but this wall looks weird. The right side of the entrance door has to be so eye-catching and not dark.
I don’t believe it.”
"I bet you and Master have learned how to show each other, right!" Zhao Zichao complained while touching the wall, "If you search like this, you will be considered a ghost if you can find the secret door..."
"Click."
The strange sound of the machine turning came from the inside of the wall.
Lin Xi and Zhao Zichao looked at each other, with three words written in their eyes:
"No way?"
"ah!!!"
Just when his hand touched a strange bulge on the wall, the floor beneath the two of them suddenly flipped over. Lin Xi lost his footing and slid down the slope. Zhao Zichao was not spared and fell directly.
He was knocked down by the huge floor and fell into the dark underground.
Fortunately, my back fell to the ground. Although it hurt a lot, I didn't lose much health. At least my brain could still complete simple thinking.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."
A drop of cold water fell on Zhao Zichao's face, making him wake up a little from his dizziness.
He climbed up from the wet floor with difficulty and raised his head. There was only darkness with no end in sight.
The flashlight is missing.
He tried to stand up and look for it, but soon fell to the ground because of the water on the ground:
The ground was stony, cold and slippery, and it stung him all over. It felt like a squid just emerging from the water. Such a cold underground tunnel was really scary.
"Lin Xi, Lin Xi?" Zhao Zichao tentatively called her name while groping for the flashlight on the ground, "Lin Xi, are you there?"
"Here..." Not far behind him, Lin Xi was covering her head, weakly responding to his cry.
She turned on the flashlight, and a faint ray of light shone right on Zhao Zichao, clearly illuminating his miserable appearance covered in mud and water.
"Pfft, what kind of look are you doing?" She couldn't help but laugh, "You were so lucky, you found the trap right away."
"What a fart, do you think I did?" Zhao Zichao patted his dirty short sleeves in disgust, "Who knew it was such a coincidence..."
At this point, he seemed to suddenly realize something: "Damn it, I'm fucked..."
Recalling his words, "If you can find the secret door, you'll be a ghost." Zhao Zichao suddenly had the urge to slap himself to death.
Daring to be affectionate is all caused by being mean-mouthed!
Lin Xi pouted, stood up on tiptoes and pinched Zhao Zichao's face: "You still have the nerve to say..."
"Hiss - it hurts, it hurts, stop pinching, stop pinching..." Zhao Zichao covered his face and quickly changed the subject, "Then how do we go back now?"
Lin Xi used a flashlight to shine upward. The stone slab was at least five meters away from them in a straight line. In addition, the surrounding walls were very smooth. It was impossible for the two of them to climb up without tools.
She held on to the wall and walked forward slowly. The water on the ground splashed up from time to time, breaking the silence in the corridor: "Just go forward. Since there is an entrance, there must be an exit."
Zhao Zichao nodded and followed her, speeding up his march.
Originally he was still worried about Jian Yi, but now that he thinks about it, he is the one who needs to worry the most.
Different from the splendor in the villa, there are no special decorations on the underground stone walls. They are just polished and smooth. With the light yellow flashlight light, this corridor looks inexplicably sacred.
"That's a magical heavenly road..."
The melodious melody floated out of Zhao Zichao's mouth unconsciously and spread in the narrow corridor. This relieved his pressure to a certain extent, but Lin Xi didn't think so.
Because... the singing is too ugly.
"With your singing skills, you have to scare away ghosts when they come." Lin Xi glanced at him and continued walking forward.
This tunnel is ridiculously long and has clearly exceeded the scope of the villa. No one knows where it leads.
"That's not true," Zhao Zichao actually showed a rather proud expression on his face, "Doesn't it sound good?"
"Shamelessness is really like Master..." Lin Xi glanced at him, but did not stop him from continuing to sing.
Push your nose and face, a simple and unique skill.
But having said that, singing can indeed build up courage. Zhao Zichao's loud voice almost cleared away the weird atmosphere in the tunnel. Not to mention whether Lin Xi was infected by his "mellow and sweet" singing voice, at least Zhao Zichao himself was not so scared.
.
As the two of them went deeper, the air in the corridor became drier, giving Zhao Zichao the direct feeling that he was walking into the stove, as if all the water in his body was evaporating.
Fortunately, before the two of them went dry, they finally saw the end of the corridor.
Standing in front of them was a dark red double-open door. It looked like the scene where the door opened during the transition in Detective Conan. There were two rough stone candlesticks standing on both sides. Although the candles were still there, at this time
There was no fire, so the corridor was still dark.
Seeing this, Zhao Zichao put the two candles into his pocket and said, "Didn't Master bring a lighter before? I'll go back to him later and ask for it, so I won't have to worry about the light source."
"The problem is, our flashlight may not last that long..." Lin Xi twitched the corner of his mouth, "It has already started to flicker."
"Then...you open the door first?"
Lin Xi glanced at him speechlessly and pushed open the door: "I thought you were a little bolder, but...heh, man."
Zhao Zichao didn't refute and just followed her in. The scene in front of them surprised both of them.
There were still smooth stone walls on both sides, but the middle was not the cave or secret door they imagined, but a row of upward steps.
The two looked at each other and then walked up quietly.
Zhao Zichao was walking up the steps calmly. He looked up casually, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly pressed Lin Xi's head down, while he was also crawling on the steps, not daring to make a sound.
Lin Xi did not blame him for his rash behavior, because she also saw it.
"That's... light?" Zhao Zichao asked uncertainly, "Did you see it too?"
"Yes, it's a candle..."
There was a little candlelight flickering in the room above the two of them, illuminating the floor.
