Chapter 61 Message

 On the quiet and dark stone steps, Chen Ziyan and three others were walking slowly.

After reaching a consensus, they did not delay too much and quickly entered the secret passage.

It was when they approached the secret passage that they discovered that the situation of the secret passage was a little different. It was not a straight staircase leading to the ground as they thought, but a circular staircase built around the rock wall.<

/p>

The overall structure of this space is in the shape of an inverted cone, and the suspended part in the center is like a slightly smaller inverted cone.

As for the overall height, they still have no way of knowing, because the flashlight can't illuminate the bottom at all.

After marching like this for about half an hour, Wang Kaixuan, who occasionally took a flashlight to look down, suddenly reminded him: "Master Chen, Lao Hu, we are going to the end!"

As soon as Chen Ziyan and Hu Bay heard this, they quickly looked down and saw that under the low light of their hands, something could be vaguely seen at the bottom of the originally dark hole.

Although it is not possible to see the specific situation clearly due to the distance, what is certain is that they are not far from the bottom at this time.

Seeing that victory is right in front of them, they don't need to maintain their forward speed in order to save their physical strength. The only way to reach the end of the stone steps as soon as possible is now.

With this idea, the speed of the three of them increased by more than a step in just the blink of an eye.

It didn't take long for Chen Ziyan and the others to arrive a few meters above the bottom.

Here, the light of the flashlight is enough to see everything below clearly.

Instead of rushing through the last section of the road, they stopped here temporarily and stood on the stone steps to take stock of the situation below.

With the help of a flashlight, you can clearly see a circular platform below. The platform is made entirely of bluestone and is about ten meters in diameter. In the center is a square stone well.

The most eye-catching thing is the edge of the stone platform, where there are two tents.

"Why are there still tents here?" Wang Kaixuan asked curiously, looking at the two old tents.

"I don't know." Chen Ziyan shook his head.

He really didn't know what happened to this tent, it was never mentioned in the diary.

"Do you think this tent was left by the previous group of people?" Hu Bayi said thoughtfully.

"That's not true." Chen Ziyan thought about it and felt that it made sense.

According to the information they received, there should be two groups of people coming here.

But the Kwantung Army has special military buildings above, so there is no need to set up camp underground.

In this case, only the group of people in front of them are more likely to do so.

"Let's go down and take a look." Wang Kaixuan was too lazy to think about this. He immediately picked up his submachine gun and walked towards the stone platform below.

He has always been able to take action without nagging, and it is even more so now that someone is taking advantage of him.

The two tents were not far from the stone steps, so they walked down the stone steps and arrived in front of the tents in two or three steps.

Wang Kaixuan walked in the front without hesitation. In order to prevent danger inside, he did not rush to lift the tent curtain, but directly cut the tarpaulin on the side with a bayonet, opening a new exit for the tent.

But what surprised them was that there was nothing in the tent, as if it had never been used.

"Look at this again!"

Later, Wang Kaixuan followed the plan and scratched the other tent. The situation inside was exactly the same as the previous one.

The tent was empty, there was nothing, it was just an empty shell.

"What's going on?" Wang Kaixuan put away his bayonet and looked at Chen Ziyan and Hu Bayi.

He has never been good at such mental things.

Chen Ziyan frowned and pondered for a while, then said, "This looks like an abandoned tent, but it's a bit weird that it's so clean inside."

"It's like it was placed here specially." Hu Bayi continued what he said.

Then, the two looked at each other and said in unison: "Put it here on purpose?!"

This is not a very hidden arrangement, that's why they can figure out the clues so quickly.

Since it was placed here intentionally, is it to cover something?

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan pulled out a short stick, lightly picked the tent in front of him, and flipped it upside down.

But what surprised him was that there was nothing unusual on the ground under the tent.

"No?" Hu Bay frowned when he saw this.

After they came to the conclusion that someone had placed the tent deliberately, they all guessed that the mystery might be hidden underneath.

This is also the reason why Chen Ziyan overturned the tent.

But now there is smooth bluestone underneath, which is a bit beyond their expectations.

"Eh? Are there any words in it?"

Just when the two of them were thinking about what went wrong, they heard Wang Kaixuan's surprised voice.

The two people quickly turned around and found that the tent that Chen Ziyan had just overturned fell right in front of Wang Kaixuan, and the side that was cut open was on top. Through the hole cut by the bayonet, they could vaguely see the tent.

On the inside, it looks like there are lines of small characters written on it.

Taking the bayonet from Wang Kaixuan's hand, Chen Ziyan carefully untied the tent limbs and saw that there were indeed some writings on the side of the tent curtain.

"This is really good at playing. If you write the words on this surface, you won't be able to find it unless you dig in." Wang Kaixuan didn't bother to study what was written on it, and commented on this method from the side.

However, Hu Bayi was more concerned about the content and went to study it immediately.

Chen Ziyan was not in a hurry to take a look, but took a bayonet and went to dismantle the other tent to see if there was such a message inside.

But it's a pity that the tent was obviously a stratagem, and the inside of the tarp was empty.

When he turned around and wanted to ask Hu Bayi what was written on it, he found that something seemed wrong with Hu Bayi's state.

Although he couldn't see Hu Bayi's expression, with the help of the flashlight's peripheral light, Chen Ziyan could clearly see that Hu Bayi's hand holding the tarpaulin had blue veins, as if he was forcing himself to endure something, and even his upright body

, all trembled slightly.

Wang Kaixuan next to him also noticed this and quickly asked: "Old Hu, are you okay?"

Hu Bayi did not reply, but continued to stare at the tarpaulin in his hand.

When Chen Ziyan saw this, he came to Hu Bayi's side and looked at the tarpaulin, wanting to see what was written on it that could make a man like Hu Bayi lose his composure!

The handwriting on the tarpaulin is beautiful and neat, and it looks like it was written by a woman.

And when Chen Ziyan saw the content clearly, he finally understood why Hu Bayi behaved like this.
