"This staircase should lead to the fourth floor... or somewhere else. Anyway, it can take us forward." Feng Bujue pointed his flashlight upward and said.
In front of the four people, there is a spiral staircase. The staircase is made of stone and has a very strange shape. Architecturally speaking, this staircase is impossible to build because there are not enough supporting points. But considering that it would have been
Even in the game, and the script is very unscientific in setting, so no one cares about it...
"Well...there are indeed footprints left on the steps." The chief came over and looked at the steps and said.
"And there are only footsteps going up..." Honghu added.
Qiu Feng thought: "Except for the fact that they walked backwards to return to this floor... The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman probably went to the fourth floor and did not come back."
Feng Bujue said: "I walked around the entire third floor and calculated the area. It is much larger than the two floors with lights downstairs. It is obvious that there is a problem with space.
Presumably the lack of lighting equipment is to cover up this." He paused: "I think the guiding clue at this level is the smell. As long as you smell the breath of the dead body during the exploration, you can find one of the two murder scenes.
place, and then, based on the bloody footprints, you can find another scene and the stairs leading to the fourth floor."
"That is to say...you judge that apart from these three locations, there are no other clues on this floor?" Honghu said.
"At least that's what I think. Of course... I really want to explore the middle area of this floor in detail, but it's not impossible, but in this open environment without light, it takes a lot of time, and it may not be possible.
Harvest." Feng Bujue said: "At present, there are still several floors above and whether there are lighting equipment on those floors. It is still unknown... It is better to save the power of the flashlight."
"I also feel that there is no need for further exploration on this level." Qiu Feng said: "Crazy brother has already explored the surrounding area and found these three locations that can form a complete information chain. If we want to explore again, we only have
With two flashlights, the troops can only be divided into two groups, and the detection efficiency of one group is likely to be much slower than that of the crazy brother."
"Second the proposal," said the chief accountant.
Honghu said, "I have no objection, but..." He looked up at the end of the spiral staircase, where there was a rectangular wooden door embedded in the ceiling, "Who is going to push that wooden door open? What if there is a wooden door?
The ax is waiting up there..."
"Just let Qiufeng use the broom to push it away." Feng Bujue said, "The ax can hit the broom at most."
"You are so damn witty..." Qiu Feng replied, but the modal particle that seemed to be a swear word was not blocked by the system. However, after he finished speaking, he still led up the stairs with a look of helplessness.
Feng Bujue shrugged and glanced at the other two teammates. The three of them didn't speak, just smiled and kept up with Qiu Feng's pace.
The distance of the stairs was not long. After going around a circle and a half, the autumn wind approached the height of the ceiling. He picked up the broom in his hand, pointed the end of the wooden stick upward, and pressed it against the wooden door. He pushed it upward hard, and the
A piece of wood opened with a creak.
A little light shone down, and when I looked up through the wooden door, I saw that the fourth floor seemed to be a space with a high ceiling. There was a curved wall very close by. Since the light was coming from the side, I didn't know what the source of the light was.
.
"Hey...what's this smell..." Qiu Feng stood at the front, and he smelled a strange smell as soon as he opened the wooden board.
"Probably another corpse." Feng Bujue stood behind him and replied in a calm tone.
"Then it's okay for me to go up like this..." Qiu Feng said again.
"They are already corpses. What is there to be afraid of?" Feng Bujue said.
What he said is a matter of opinion. Although most people in this world are afraid of dead bodies, there are also many people who think living people are more terrifying.
After Qiu Feng took a few deep breaths, he rushed up with all his strength. He knew that if there was an ax waiting for him in the blind corner of his sight, it would be dangerous to peek his head sneakily. It would be better for him to rush forward instantly and stand up.
Face the other person head-on from an equal perspective.
Feng Bujue, who followed closely behind, followed him slowly with a relaxed and comfortable expression. Honghu and the chief were blocked behind Brother Jue, so they could only follow his temper.
After the four of them walked up to the fourth floor one after another, they finally saw clearly the situation above the wooden door.
This is the inside of a windmill…
The surrounding walls were made of bricks and wood, forming a circular shape. And the light... seemed to be sunlight, shining in from the small window above the windmill.
As for the weird smell... it came from the scarecrow. On the wall on the side of the windmill, four players found its body. The death state was unprecedentedly weird.
A rusty spear penetrated the brick wall from the outside of the windmill, and hit the scarecrow standing inside the windmill. The scarecrow's body hung like a sausage on the wall.
Because its straw head was stuffed with the witch's brain, and a spear happened to pass through its head, the brains were all over the scarecrow.
"Where should I start from?" Qiu Feng said while looking at this scene.
"You'll know when you go out and take a look at the situation outside." When Feng Bujue spoke, he had already reached the door of the windmill and was about to open the door and go out.
His teammates didn't stop him, they just followed him and walked out together.
Outside the windmill is a space like a drama stage.
The area of the fourth floor is about the same as that of the first floor. The ceiling is more than ten meters high, but there are no supporting columns around it. On the ceiling, blue sky and white clouds are painted with oil paint... On the four distant walls, except for the same sky and
Clouds, green mountains, rivers, etc. are also painted.
At an angle between the ceiling and two walls, there is a "sun" suspended by four steel wires. The diameter of this thing is only about three meters. It seems to be made of paper, but I don't know why, but it is really shining.
...And the light it emits is no different from real sunlight, and it can actually make people feel a little warm when it shines on the body.
"Every level is getting more and more interesting..." the chief exclaimed.
Feng Bujue walked half a circle around the windmill and saw the truth behind the scarecrow being stabbed to death, "Humph... I guessed it was this guy..."
The other three people also looked over there, and saw... outside the windmill, the second half of the spear that killed the scarecrow was still lying in the air, but the "knight" who used the spear to attack was already dead on the ground.
The deceased was wearing a standard set of medieval knight armor, and his head and helmet had been chopped off at this time. The wound on the neck was very neat, and it seemed that it was the work of a certain axe. (To be continued)
