Chapter 237: Earthquake
Although he was committing a treasonous act that was almost equivalent to a crime, Qiushi was extremely calm and calm during those days. He rationally analyzed all entry and exit routes, possible situations, and personnel entry and exit, until... dawn arrived on the day when the museum opened.
Ye Suling sighed and said in a somewhat sad tone: "According to the scheduled plan, we arrived in front of the tempered glass cabinet in the center of the exhibition hall. Qiushi had just entered the password halfway when she heard footsteps coming from behind."
"Footsteps?" Zhang Ke asked strangely, "How could there be anyone at this time? It's not the staff's working hours yet, right?"
"That footsteps...are mine." Ye Suling smiled miserably and said, "Sorry, I hid it from you before. In fact, after receiving the text message, I not only contacted the police station, but then I ran directly to the ruins museum and hid.
Behind a stone tablet at the door, I want to wait and see if Qiushi will arrive."
"...It's not easy for you either." Zhang Ke couldn't help but sigh.
"At that time, I wanted to give him a last chance to stop the situation. After all, up to that point, his theft had not actually happened - this was my selfish intention, although according to the original plan discussed with the police, it would only happen later.
Action, but rather than a reduced sentence or leniency, I hope Qiushi never did such a thing from the beginning."
"But at that time, it was impossible for him to be persuaded by you with just a few words..." Zhang Ke seemed to have foreseen the situation at that time.
"That's right - although my arrival was unexpected, Qiushi was unexpectedly very calm. He immediately apologized and said that he was assigned an important task by his father. He came over at night to adjust the password of the tempered glass cabinet and finally ensure the safety of the cultural relics.
"Ye Suling said with some regret:
"I didn't expose him on the spot, I just asked him to do what he wanted and to do something worthy of his conscience, and then turned around and left - I knew that I couldn't persuade him on my own, even if he was stained with crime.
He must also be punished by law to wake up. Of course, I also hope in my heart that he can stop and leave."
"But a moment later, something even more unexpected happened. Before I took a few steps, another familiar voice suddenly sounded behind me - it was Professor Yuan. It turned out that he had never left the museum from the beginning.
Instead, he has been hiding in the rest room next to the hall, monitoring the entire situation from the peephole."
"What?! Where is Professor Yuan?" This was a development that even Zhang Ke had not guessed. He couldn't help but open his mouth, "Why would he deliberately stay there?"
"Actually, he was also careful - do you still remember the document in her laptop used to record passwords? He asked a software teacher to help him in advance, so that no matter who opened the document and when,
A reminder message will be sent to his mobile phone." Ye Suling said with a wry smile:
"Qiushi doesn't fully understand his father. Although his ideas are still so old-fashioned and feudal, he is not so old-fashioned at the technical level and has always kept pace with the times. He has long guessed that if there is someone inside,
If a ghost comes to dig through your computer files, especially password files, you must notice it immediately."
"No wonder he was waiting here so late at night, just to wait and see, but he didn't expect that it was his son who was waiting..." Zhang Ke felt that this matter was a bit ridiculous, but also full of helplessness and sadness, and couldn't help but shook his head.
, asked, “What happens after that?”
Ye Suling opened her mouth and was about to answer, but suddenly she felt the ground shaking under her feet, and the surrounding walls began to buzz. She was in a closed underground, as if the whole world was shaking.
"What's going on?" The two of them didn't care to talk about old things anymore, but quickly got up to check the surrounding situation.
They moved forward holding on to the wall, passing through various blood-stained cages and torture instruments, and even passed by an abandoned corpse pit with a large number of bones buried in them. Although both of them were atheists who believed in science, in this dark place where light and light disappeared,
Under the candlelight, I felt that the surroundings were really eerie.
However, the space for movement in the underground part of the ruins does not seem to be large, and it is not as spacious as the appearance. The two of them felt as if they were continuously circling along a huge circle, with several rooms expanding outward along the way.
, mostly used as cells or torture chambers.
"Judging from historical data, the members of the Qingtian Sect do not live in the underground main altar. They also have buildings that live in large areas. Therefore, the underground main altar is mostly used for detaining prisoners, interrogating, torture, concentrating on discussions and performing sacrifices.
"The site." Ye Suling recalled, "However, because the soil was soft at the time, in order to protect the ruins to the greatest extent, we did not develop the underground in depth. We were originally planning to advance little by little, so I don't know much."
"So, has there ever been an underground ruins shaking in the middle of the night?" Zhang Ke asked.
"Probably not, otherwise it would have been discovered long ago..." Ye Suling said curiously, "This matter is indeed a bit puzzling."
"Moreover, have you noticed that we seem to have been running in a big circle, but we can't get inside the circle." Zhang Ke pondered for a moment before saying, "From just now, I discovered that although most of the rooms along the way
It is possible to enter, but there are a total of six doors that cannot be opened and entered. They are all facing the rooms inside the circle, and they are evenly spaced."
"That's true...the only rooms we can enter are cells, torture rooms and other outer rooms, but the middle part of the underground Qingtian Sect's ruins - which is probably the most important sacrificial place, we can't enter.
Go." Ye Suling said.
At this moment, Zhang Ke suddenly thought of something. He took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. He found that it was past eleven o'clock, but there was no communication signal at all, and the time numbers stopped beating and stopped moving forward.
"That's weird, did you break your phone?" Zhang Ke said quickly, "Look at your phone, what time is it now?"
"Twenty past eleven...no, it seems like it can't stop." Ye Suling said strangely, "Did it get broken before? But other functions seem to be normal, although it can't connect to the Internet."
"It's a bit weird... Logically speaking, time is about to cycle." Zhang Ke suddenly took Ye Suling's hand and said, "We'd better leave this place quickly. Do you remember how to get out of the underground?
?”
"I have a vague impression that I am looking for a hidden compartment on the wall. If I press it, there will be a wooden escalator leading to the ground. Let's look carefully -"
Because the clocks on their mobile phones were stopped, they didn't know how long they had been searching underground. It felt like they had been groping for a long time before they finally found the secret compartment, slowly opened the door to the ground, and couldn't wait to walk up.
