The basement is not large, a small room three meters square.
Except for a scaffolding connecting it to the top, there is no other way out.
The ground here only has some dust and a few pools of blood, unlike the ground on the first floor, which has such blood stains everywhere.
The room is sparsely furnished.
There are some tall lockers on the three walls. The cabinets are covered with dust and there are many bottles and cans on them.
It looks like it's clearly used for storage.
But in the center of the room, there was a bed covered with dust, and under the dust, there was a large pool of black dry marks.
It's like a pool of blood that has dried here for decades.
Shi Ran and Maier approached these cabinets and looked at the bottles and jars placed on them one by one.
At a glance, many transparent glass jars were empty, only covered with a thin layer of dust.
"Ding!"
Shi Ran knocked on the glass jar, making a tinkling sound. Maier also followed her example and knocked on it, making a crisp sound.
They found out.
There are also some iron cans, which are also empty.
Shi Ran took the iron can in his hand and turned it around.
She found that the iron jar in her hand seemed to have writing on the surface, but it was obscured by dust and could not be seen clearly.
She turned around and wiped her hands on the mattress two steps away.
After the dust was wiped off, the writing on the jar could finally be seen clearly.
Shi Ran took the jar again and walked to the scaffolding, using the light above to read the writing on the jar.
The product name is written on it in the language of the weird world.
First, the two most prominent words are enlarged: milk powder.
Followed by a few words in yellow: Smart Baby Milk Powder.
Shi Ran looked at several other jars, as well as the second and third stages of milk powder.
Maier handed over a jar with writing on it to Shi Ran. Shi Ran discovered that the name of a nut was written on it, and it was a nut jar.
In addition, there are some jars without advertising slogans.
They all discovered something very strange.
This place clearly looks like a storage room, but these jars are empty.
Nothing stored is visible anymore.
It was completely different from other houses they had seen in the past seven days.
The other private houses were full of everything, even though they were all carbonized and inedible.
But here, it is empty.
It's like being evacuated.
This is the former home of Qiheqi’s mother “It”.
As a spiritual body with strange powers, does "it" still need to eat what humans eat?
Shi Ran frowned in confusion.
Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something reflecting the light of metal in the corner.
She walked over.
After taking only two steps, Shi Ran's eyes suddenly opened wide.
Sensing Shi Ran's abnormality, Maier also walked over from the other side.
And here.
In that dark corner.
There was a set of chains and shackles lying there!
Shi Ran approached, squatted down, and looked carefully.
Most of the shackles had rusted away, leaving only a few intact areas, which smelled strongly of rust.
On the ground under the shackles, a thin layer of dust was blown away, and there was a pool of black marks on the ground.
Shi Ran reached over, picked up the shackles, and pulled the chains.
"Bang! Bang!"
The thick chain shook, making a dull sound.
Shi Ran looked along the other ends of the two chains and found that they were firmly fixed on the wall.
The length of the chain is neither too long nor too short. It can just reach the bedside, but it cannot go up the scaffolding.
Maier approached the place where the chain was fixed to the wall and pulled hard, but couldn't stop pulling.
The chain is very strong.
Shi Ran carefully looked at the black shackles in his hands, which were locked.
The lock was very hard, so Shi Ran pulled hard.
She found that even though the lock was now rusty, she still couldn't pull it off.
Very strong.
Shi Ran recalled what the ghost "teacher" said:
No one deserves to be locked up in a basement! Even if you are imprisoned in the basement, you still have to have dignity, right? Everyone should be respected!
So is the basement the ghost "teacher" is talking about this basement?
So, who is imprisoned here?
Now it seems that no one has been here for a long, long time.
Is there anyone who needs rescuing?
But since this basement can unlock 30% of the plot line, accounting for the same proportion as the radiation source, it means that they did not find the wrong place.
It's just possible that there is no one in this basement who needs their rescue.
But here, except for some empty bottles and cans, and a set of chains and shackles, there was nothing else.
Although this is the key clue, this key clue seems to be broken here.
They can't draw more information based on these things here.
It can't be that ghost teacher who was imprisoned by the big boss in this basement, right?
It’s unreasonable to think so.
Shi Ran shook his head.
Perhaps, Matsushita Snowchi should be asked to take a look, and she should use her SSS-level talent to get more clues.
It's getting late today, so we can only wait until tomorrow to bring them here.
Now that the basement has been found, they no longer need to search like a needle in a haystack. From this house, they should be able to further advance the plot line.
Shi Ran always feels weird when he thinks of that weird "ghost" teacher.
The questions that ghost "teacher" gave them for the exam, especially the last essay question, always felt a bit private.
It was as if he didn't know the answer, but wanted them, the chosen ones, to answer it for him.
Moreover, the ghost "teacher" finally specifically told her not to talk about the composition she wrote outside.
The title of the composition is, the relationship between the strange world and the real world.
What she answered was that the weird world was once a normal world just like the real world, and then the weird world came to full force, and it turned into a weird world.
It was just a random guess, and the ghost teacher told her not to say it.
Shi Ran always felt that this ghost "teacher" seemed to be plotting something.
Moreover, he is definitely not the only one behind him.
Oh no, a ghost.
It was as if they, the ghosts who were helping the strange world to cause trouble, were plotting to resist the control of the strange power.
Perhaps, like the Chosen Ones, they also want to rebel against the rules.
Rebel against these unreasonable rules.
Then don’t they have a common enemy, a strange force?
But, what kind of power is the strange power?
And is the relationship between the weird world and the real world really the same as her guess?
Shi Ran had originally thought about whether the relationship between the strange world and the real world might be what he had imagined.
But what Gray Shadow said to her last night:
"You're back."
All her illusions were shattered.
