Chapter VIII Beauty in Danger

Holding the lavender sports coat in her hand, she put it under her nose and smelled it. Li Shilan immediately confirmed that it was the scent she had smelled when she first entered the "dark room" outside. And this coat was undoubtedly the source of the orchid scent.

At the same time, Li Shilan's mind was like a movie, quickly searching for pictures that matched this familiar taste——

"It's really her!" Li Shilan, who had been thinking for a while, suddenly remembered something.

"Who is it?" Luo Jian looked at his best friend who looked a little dazed.

"Lin Lanyue!" Li Shilan's eyes were wandering, her face was smiling, and she seemed to be immersed in a certain situation, "When I first saw her on the basketball court, it was this orchid fragrance that floated in the wind!

Because it was a long time ago and I was still some distance away from her, I didn’t think of it for a while.”

"Ah? That means that Lin Lanyue and even Liu Yushuang may have entered this secret room before!" Luo Jian was a little surprised. The thought that came to him later made him break out in a cold sweat. "If so,

Then where are they now? I left my clothes here and couldn’t get them in time? Could it be that something unexpected happened!"

"Bah, bah, bah, don't talk nonsense!" Li Shilan's smile disappeared immediately due to Luo Jian's crow's mouth, but she couldn't help but feel doubts and worries in her heart. "What you said is not entirely wrong. The two of them are indeed very likely to be together.

Because their classmates said that they haven’t gone to class these past few days, right?"

"Yes, yes, so it is very possible that they did not go home on leave, but are still in the underground palace!" Luo Jian agreed.

"Moreover, I seem to have heard the night watchman say twice before that there were girls here a few days ago." Li Shilan, who was out of the state of obsession, gradually recovered the logical thinking ability of an engineering student. "So, they must be here now.

It's still in the underground palace, and it's probably near this room."

"If this is really the case, then they shouldn't have eaten or drank for several days!" Even Luo Jian, who has always been optimistic, became anxious this time.

"Yes! So we have to find them as soon as possible! Otherwise the two girls may really be in danger." At the moment when her sweetheart might be in danger, Li Shilan calmed down and showed the proper behavior of a man.

"Then where do we start?" Luo Jian urged.

"The clothes are here, this is the most likely place!"

"Here?" Luo Jian looked around, "You mean-"

"Yes, judging from the previous situation, there may be a mechanism here that can open another secret room!" The reason why best friends are best friends is that there is a tacit understanding.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's do it quickly!" Luo Jian said urgently, "You check the wine table, and I'll check the cabinet over there." As he said this, he walked towards the wine cabinet on the right. When he first came in, he saw Jin

The two of them were attracted to the silver wine vessel, but they didn't even have time to pay attention to the wine cabinet on the right and the tables next to the door.

The two of them had the experience of inkstones before, so they first moved the utensils on the table and shelves. Li Shilan moved the wine bottles and wine glasses one by one, and Luo Jian hurriedly pushed down and lifted up the pottery pots, bowls, and plates in the wine cabinet.

, ended up mentioning it directly, and Luo Jian almost broke a celadon wine vessel.

"Be careful! These are all antiques!" Li Shilan reminded.

"I understand, I understand, I will be careful!" After checking the wine cabinet, Luo Jian walked towards the square table next to the door, with a large vase on it.

At this time, Li Shilan had already checked all the wine bottles and wine bottles, and there was nothing fishy about them. She reached out to the gold wine pot in the middle of the square table. "Eh--" I couldn't lift it!

"Luo Jian, there's -" Before Li Shilan could finish her words, she heard a loud "Ka La La -" and the stone door that came in opened again!

Naturally, both of them turned their gazes towards the opening of the door. It didn't matter what they saw! They were only frightened and screamed!

Making careless friends

"Ah!" The four people exclaimed at the same time. Who else besides Li Shilan and Luo Jian? It turned out that standing at the door of Shimen were the two fat and thin night watchmen who had left before! Although they were wearing dust masks this time, they passed by

After a night of "entanglement", Li Luo still recognized each other at a glance.

The four people looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and were stunned for a moment.

"Ka La La -" As Luo Jian's hand let go of the vase, the stone door was about to close again.

Soon enough, the thin night watchman slipped in. The stone door closed with a bang, and the room once again fell into embarrassment.

"Hurry up - open the door!" The thin man broke the silence with a sharp voice, but he obviously lacked confidence in front of two young and strong college students.

"Didn't you open the door?" Li Shilan asked in astonishment, "Didn't you press-"

"That's right! Didn't you open the door?" Luo Jian quickly interrupted Li Shilan, "We were also shocked."

Looking at Li Shilan's honest face, Xiaoshou felt a little panicked. Because if this was really the case, could there be anyone else or something in this underground palace?

"Then how did you get in?" The high-pitched voice was still confused and asked after calming down.

"We don't know, it opened by itself when we walked to the door!" Luo Jian winked secretly at Li Shilan.

"Yes, yes, when you get close to the door, it opens by itself." Li Shilan understood.

"You mean this is an induction door?" The thin man looked unbelieving. "Is the Tang Dynasty so advanced?" He waved his hand back and forth in front of the stone door.

Li Shilan and Luo Jian held back their laughter.

"It's useless!" the thin man muttered, "Hey! Lao Li, can you hear me?" The thin man lay on the closed stone door and called to his companions.

This time it was Li Shilan and Luo Jian's turn to panic. If the fat night watchman named Li found the trap, they would definitely be arrested without mercy.

"Hey, Lao Li!" The thin man took off his mask and shouted several times, but there was still no movement outside.

"Your colleague may have left to look for someone and is not in front of the door." Li Shilan was still trying to explain why the stone door was not opened.

Luo Jian remained silent, his mind spinning rapidly. It was actually him who opened the stone door just now, and the mechanism was the vase beside him. At that time, he turned it clockwise, and the stone door opened. When he saw the two night watchmen, he was shocked.

Consciously letting go, the vase bounced back on its own, and the stone door closed again.

He will never tell this secret now. The number of people in the room is currently two to one, and he can barely control the situation. "The most important thing is to find Liu Yushuang and Lin Lanyue as soon as possible, but how to play the next chess game?"

"Luo Jian was thinking hard.

His throat was not good, so the thin man screamed at the top of his lungs for a long time, then started coughing again, but there was still no movement outside.

The thin man seemed to have really given up. He coughed and turned around. He pushed Li Shilan away and sat down on the chair next to the square table. However, his eyes were immediately attracted to the gold and silverware on the table, which gave off a greedy light.

"Classmates!" The thin man's voice suddenly became much softer. "As for me, I chased you before because of the requirements of my work. There is no personal grudge, right?"

"Of course, of course, we all understand this, and I don't mean to blame you, hehehe!" Luo Jian walked down the slope.

"Okay, okay, very good!" The thin man said hypocritically, "Well, since we can't go out for the time being, we can get along well, do you think it's okay?"

"Okay, okay! I agree with both hands! Maybe we can make friends!" Luo Jian said more enthusiastically than him, but he was not confused and could tell that this guy had other intentions.

"Oh, what this little brother said is so good!" The thin man smiled evilly, "Speaking of which, we are also destined to be friends! Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha! It's really like this, it's fate!" Luo Jian seemed to have found his biological brother, which made Li Shilan dumbfounded.

While the thin man was chatting, he picked up the silverware on the table and played with it. It seemed to be unintentional, but you could tell that he was drooling.

"Brothers, since we are so destined, do you think it's okay if we do it this way?" The thin man's eyes kept rolling, "If my colleague comes back later and comes in by himself, I will talk to him carefully, and you won't make any mistakes either.

What a big mistake, and besides, it’s the first time you commit it, and then you can go back.” The thin man looked very magnanimous.

"Okay, okay, you are such a friend!" Luo Jian gave a thumbs up.

"But we can't leave yet! There may be a secret room inside." Li Shilan was in a hurry to save people, but her brain couldn't turn around anymore, "Besides, our female classmate——"

"Cough - cough -" Luo Jian immediately changed the subject, "Brother, what if many people from the archaeological team come together soon?"

“This—” the thin man seemed to be thinking about something, “we’ll talk about this later.”

"Brother," the thin man smiled and turned to Li Shilan, "do you think there are other secret rooms here?" A light flashed in his eyes.
