"Why do I feel like I've been tricked by this guy..." The corners of Wang Xu's mouth twitched.
Mr. Cat said: "Actually, this is a good idea. If he created such a painting directly in the basement, we really don't know what it means." As he said this, he kicked the wall and hit the bottom of his foot.
He stepped right on the face of Vincent's portrait. The wall collapsed inward, but it didn't make too much noise. This foot must have been intentional by Mr. Cat, who didn't want to disturb other people upstairs.
Mr. Cat continued: "Now that he has filled the house with portraits of Aesalina, we will naturally notice it, and then in the process of searching and observing, we will come here and see this obviously different painting.
Such a matching painting.”
As he spoke, he took the candle in Wang Xu's hand and reached into the dark hole behind the wall.
"It's true, this is the entrance to Derek's laboratory." Master Mao could already see the stairs extending downward through the candlelight.
"I said... there should be a switch that can activate this wall, right?" Wang Xu asked.
"Don't you think that when Vincent put up this portrait, he just wanted us to aim at his face and kick the wall away?" Master Cat asked.
Wang Xu laughed twice: "What a thoughtful reminder..."
"He relies on calculation. I think he can even calculate to this point..." Master Mao handed the candle to Wang Xu, "You guys wait for me here, I will find some new candles."
Qi Bing asked: "All four of us are going down?"
Before Mr. Cat could answer, Yu Xin said, "You guys should go there. It looks like a dirty place. I don't want to go down there."
"That's just right. The three of us will go down and you stay to protect the others." Wang Xu said. In fact, he was a little worried about that person and wished Yu Xin could stay and protect them.
…………
More than ten minutes later, the three members of the right-hand club each held a torch and walked together in a narrow dark passage.
Originally, they wanted to bring only candles down, but unfortunately the humidity here seemed to be too high, and there was not enough oxygen. The candles went out after walking a short distance down, so they had to go back inside and break off a few.
A piece of furniture legs, wrapped with oil-soaked cloth strips to make a torch, and then moved forward.
There is no disgusting smell in this place as expected. Except for the high humidity, there are no other uncomfortable and strange feelings. There is no problem with breathing. Even if the air is not as good as outdoors, it will not lead to death from lack of oxygen. The secret passages sometimes extend straight.
, sometimes it becomes a spiral downward step. In short, they are always going downhill.
The three of them did not dare to be careless, for fear that something similar to a trap would be triggered, so they walked cautiously and slowly along the way. After groping for nearly twenty minutes, the end of the secret passage - a door - suddenly appeared in front of them.
"What is this...is it necessary..." Wang Xu said in shock.
Qi Bing said: "I hope this door is unlocked..."
The door itself is actually nothing special. It is just an ordinary iron rectangular door. It cannot be compared with the round alloy door equipped with a steering wheel lock like a bank vault or any home security door.
What is exaggerated is that there is something similar to a magic circle engraved on the door. The pattern of the array is bright red, and it seems to be flowing. When Wang Xu takes a closer look, the red is indeed blood...
"Do you have any ideas?" Wang Xu asked Mr. Cat.
Master Mao frowned in thought: "I have never seen this pattern before... It seems there is only one way."
"What can I do?" Wang Xu regretted the words as soon as he said them, because when he said them, he instantly understood that when the sinister man pretended to be serious, he might be trying to trick himself...
Sure enough, Mr. Cat grabbed Wang Xu's wrist and put his hand on the door handle with lightning speed. The magic circle lit up slightly, and a "click" sound came from Wang Xu's hand. Even though he
He immediately took his hand back, but it was already burned like braised pig's trotters.
Wang Xu howled in pain, but Mr. Cat didn't even look at him and analyzed himself: "This magic circle is something similar to an identification system... except that its identification basis is not fingerprints, but voice."
It’s not the lines, or the pupils, but the soul.”
Qi Bing said: "Then we can't open this door?"
"Impossible, Vincent will not lead us down a dead end." Mr. Cat crouched down and stared at the magic circle at close range, "This kind of Western magic circle is very interesting. As long as the pattern is slightly changed,
It will have a completely different effect.”
Wang Xu said behind him: "It would be perfect if it were changed to your portrait."
Mr. Cat continued to ignore his complaints. He stood up with eyes closed, pondered for more than ten seconds, and then... spit on the magic circle.
"That's it."
"Hey! That's okay! Wouldn't it be better if you pee on it?!"
"Stop being wordy, come over and touch the door handle again."
"Go away! I want to touch you! Don't even think about trying to trick me again."
Master Cat sighed and put his hand on the door handle. There was no burn incident as Wang Xu imagined, but Master Cat quickly let go of his hand.
"What's wrong?" Qi Bing was confused.
"Can't open."
Wang Xu asked: "What does it mean that it can't be opened?"
Cat Master didn't seem to listen to his question at all, but said to himself: "Sure enough, you still have the trump card..." He said as if he was about to unzip his pants.
"Hey! What's your trump card? You still end up peeing on the door!"
"Don't be verbose, Wei Shi has discovered the ultimate weakness of this floating magic circle. Whether it's dog blood, saliva, or excrement, as a ghost hunter, you must use it calmly."
"Oh shit! Is it the ghost hunter's will that drives you to act like this? I think it's just a simple urge to urinate! Stop it quickly! How can children read this book again in the future if you do this!" Wang Xu struggled from behind.
Master Cat was restrained.
At this moment, on the other side of the door...
Derek's zombie-like pale expression finally changed a little - the corners of his mouth twitched...
"I'd better open the door for these guys..." He thought like this and opened the door from the inside.
