Considering that this small wooden house is in the middle of nowhere, and there are no survival supplies after leaving this house, if the owner of the diary is really tied up for something, the range should not be farther than the surroundings of the house.
So Schiller suspected there might be something wrong with the house.
As for what the problem was, Schiller had some guesses, mainly because the number of fish he dug out of his stomach was abnormal.
The monster is here to kill people, not to participate in fishing competitions. As long as the monster is intelligent, in order to kill people better, he will only fulfill the corpse's wish to the minimum amount.
Whether it is fishing or fishing, it is a relatively time-consuming job. Assuming that this man’s wish is to go fishing and then eat it himself, wouldn’t he be able to catch just one fish? Two or three such big fish would be enough to kill him.
.
But there were about a dozen fish that Schiller found in the man's stomach, and they seemed to be about the same freshness. Would this monster be so kind and overfulfill the task?
So Schiller thought that these fish might not have been caught by the monster, but by the man while he was waiting for his friends to come.
This is understandable. After all, friends are coming, how can he not cook a meal? To cook, you need to prepare ingredients. Most of the ingredients bought from the town may not be very fresh. In addition, he likes fishing.
It is normal to choose fish as the main course.
If this is the case, this man's wish may be just to eat fish, and the monster may not understand the behavior of eating. Anyway, it just fills his stomach, so he swallowed so many fish in one go.
But he wrote in his diary that he has been unable to catch fish in the past few days, but when the monster came, there were so many fish in the kitchen. Where did this man get the fish?
There were so many doubts surrounding the corpse in the kitchen that Schiller couldn't help but pay attention, but no matter what secret he had, there must be some traces of it from somewhere in the room.
But Schiller didn't believe in his luck.
If he searches for clues bit by bit in the house, he will most likely face the dilemma of missing the dice.
Betting on luck to find clues is a gamble, setting the house on fire is also a gamble and betting that the evidence will be left behind. Schiller prefers to choose a way to relieve his anger.
Fortunately, he was pretty lucky. The clues existed in the structure of the house itself. If the house hadn't been burned down, he wouldn't have been able to find out that there was a cellar in the house.
Schiller and Batman both looked down. The cellar was not very deep, and you would definitely not be injured if you jumped down, but it was very dark inside, and no one knew what was inside.
"I have a flashlight here." Night Owl said, "But I don't think throwing it down is a good choice."
"Let me go down." Greedy said: "My camera has night vision mode, so I can see clearly what's inside. I'm also agile enough. If there's danger, I can climb up directly."
Schiller did not object, and Greedy approached the cave entrance. He held the camera in one hand and held the edge of the cave entrance with the other hand. He first sat on the edge of the cave entrance, and then jumped in.
"……God!"
"What's wrong?" Schiller asked.
"It's astonishingly big down here." Greedy's voice came over. It seemed that he was still at the entrance of the cave and hadn't gone far, but he seemed to have seen something surprising.
Night Owl immediately turned on the flashlight and jumped down, and then let out the same exclamation as Greedy.
Schiller didn't know what was so amazing about a cellar. It wasn't until he jumped down that he discovered that this was not a cellar, but a natural underground cave.
After jumping down, you can see by the light of the flashlight that there are some wooden floors near the entrance of the cellar, and there are also boxes and oil lamps stacked up, but the oil lamps have no oil.
A little further inside is a purely natural structure. It can be seen from the structure of the rock wall that this is a natural cave, not an artificial one.
Schiller heard something as soon as he came down, and he said: "Be quiet."
Everyone was silent. Schiller listened carefully and heard: "There is a sound of water, just in front."
"Do you really want to go there?" The pale knight was obviously hesitant.
"If I'm not wrong, we may have arrived at some places we shouldn't have arrived in advance." Schiller hinted in a very subtle way.
In fact, what he thought was that they might have skipped the level.
Logically speaking, they should go to the village to look for clues, and then the clues in the village pointed to the owner of the diary, suggesting that he had some secrets.
After all, the diary specifically stated that he was ugly and unlovable, but the village still looked for him when something happened, which proved that someone in the village must know the story of the owner of the diary.
They might go to the village and hear the stories, then hear about some of the detective's deeds, and finally return to the hut, search the house carefully, and finally find the cellar.
But Schiller's unusual method of searching for clues led them to discover the cellar in advance.
But this is also a good thing. After all, they will not have any survival supplies after burning the house. It is not realistic to walk such a long way when the snow is so thick and the temperature is so low. It would be better to have a new exploration route.
.
Schiller also asked the Transcendent in his mind if this was the case. The Transcendent did not answer, but Schiller vaguely heard the sound of him breaking through the defense.
Schiller can completely understand him, because the village may be a carefully modeled map, and there may be many NPCs with different tempers, but this group of them has completely jumped over a big hurdle.
"Let's go." Schiller said: "There is nowhere else to go now. It would be great if this cave could lead to the village."
Listening to his obviously intentional words, Batman from the main universe looked back at him, silently fell a little behind, came to Schiller's side, and said, "Where do you think this cave might lead to."
"I guess it's a secret location. There may be monsters there that we can't deal with, but there may also be tantalizing clues."
This seems to mean nothing, but to Batman in the main universe, it probably sounds like "You'd better not arrange any monsters for me that we can't handle, and leave some tantalizing clues, otherwise I won't follow the script."
.
Bruce in front was communicating with Greed in a low voice, and the Night Owl who was walking in the front and lighting the road turned back frequently, and Schiller could kill flies when he saw his eyebrows.
The sound of the water is getting louder and louder.
After turning a narrow corner, a huge cave space appeared in front of everyone, and there was an underground river in the center of the cave, which was the source of the sound of water.
Schiller was not too close to the water, but he could still see fish jumping out of the underground river. There were so many fish that he could easily get a full load with just a dip net.
Nite Owl shined his flashlight into the river, and Schiller could see more clearly. The fish in the underground river were the fish in the belly of the corpse that died in the kitchen, and their shapes were exactly the same.
In other words, although you can no longer catch fish on the ground, you can still catch it underground.

The owner of the diary really had a big problem. Bruce stared at the river and said: "There is such a big hole under his house, and there is an underground river in it, and he is still fishing in the river. The villagers
Do you know about this?"
He did not farm or herd, but he mentioned in his diary that he was going to the village to buy some food. Where did his money come from? Greedy grasped the key point keenly. He said: "The only way he makes money is
The only method seems to be fishing, and if he can’t catch fish on the ground, he will fish underground, but can the fish underground really be eaten?”
The fact may be exactly the opposite. Schiller also stared at the fish that were constantly churning in the dark river water. He said: "The fish in the ground are not only edible, but may also have special effects. Otherwise, why would people from the village come to him? His
Why are there so many fish suddenly appearing in the kitchen?"
Naturally, others quickly figured this out.
When away from hot water, the freshness of fish will drop rapidly, and most people rarely stock large amounts of fish.
It's just that if he and his detective friends eat it, it won't take more than a dozen fish. And if the fish is really brought by the owner of the diary himself, it proves that not only he and his friends want to eat the fish, but others may also want to eat it.
He ordered fish.
Considering the geographical location of this cabin, no one except the villagers would want to buy so many fish.
Scary monsters have appeared in the village, and the villagers actually have kung fu, fish and meat. If it weren't for their brain problems, these fish must be of some use in dealing with the monsters.
Thinking of this, Schiller suddenly realized. He said: "The monster deliberately let the corpse swallow all the fish, so that others would not be able to eat the fish."
Batman in the main universe also understands that the diary owner's last wish may not be to eat fish, but the monster can control him to eat all the fish. In this way, even if a villager can find it, the fish will be completely rotten and inedible.
Wanna try one? Bruce is already rolling up his sleeves.
The method of catching fish is actually very simple. Not to mention that several of them were wearing coats. There were so many fish that it looked like you could catch one just by reaching in.
Schiller also wanted to get one to take a look, but considering safety, he thought it was better not to go near the water.
Greed was obviously more radical. He looked directly at Batman in the main universe and said: "I think you can shoot into the lake."
"This is a shotgun, not a crossbow. Bullets can't bring back the fish." Batman in the main universe said.
"The point isn't the fish, it's that if there's something really dangerous in the lake, you might be able to piss it off."
"What a madman." Night Owl murmured to himself after taking a look at Greedy. He reached out and pulled Bruce over a little.
"Aren't you going to take a picture of them?" Schiller said suddenly.
"What are you shooting? The portrait of the fish?" Greedy made a joke. Schiller wanted to say something else, but Greedy walked towards him and directly put his arm around his shoulders.
Batman in the main universe leaned a little closer to the river bank. He saw the fish's scales reflecting a shimmering silver light under the weak light. It looked strangely alive, which was incompatible with the dark and claustrophobic cave.
He looked again at the place where the river flowed. It was pitch black and there was nothing there, and the same was true downstream.
"I think we should walk along the river bank." Even though Batman in the main universe saw that there was still a road on the other side of the river, he still suggested this.
"Okay, it's up to you." Greedy seemed to have temporarily given up on some dangerous plans, and the others had no objections.
Schiller lowered his head and glanced at his fingers. When he picked up the burnt board, his fingertips were stained with black ash, but for the first time, he did not wipe his hands clean with animal skin.
