Everyone imprisoned in the cage had the same attire as the unknown team he saw before. To make sure, Xin Mi opened the ponchos of two more people to confirm.
"Are these people dead?" Even Long Tiangang was shocked this time.
"There are no vital signs, at least as a human being, it is certain death. And judging from the strange postures of these people... they probably died in different ways." Xin Mi looked at several cages, "But why did they Will you die here?"
"Did he die somewhere else and was moved here? Or..." Yan Zidan guessed.
Lu Ning looked at the rest of the place. This was a preparation space under the stage, which was also used to match the lifting device of the stage. There were many glove boxes stacked around it, including props and actors' costumes used in some scenes.
Lu Ning lifted up a canvas next to the wall and found a dozen oil barrels stacked underneath, all of them empty. She frowned slightly, turned around and opened another glove box, which was filled with costumes and props. She didn't bother to take them all out, and found a set of outfits at the bottom - everything from the mask to the armor to the weapons, including the bow.
"What did you find?" Xin Mi asked when she found that Lu Ning was struggling to take some things out of the box.
"A set of equipment, what about you?"
At this time, Xin Mi was trying to peel off the gas mask, which was much more troublesome than the black mask outside, and when she was cutting it, she already felt that she must have gained nothing this time.
Black foam oozed out from the parts scratched by the scalpel. It is estimated that all the bodies inside have turned into this kind of thing. Even if you want to see what kind of face is under the mask, you can't.
"This set of equipment...why is there such a set here?" Qian Yipeng also came over to help.
"This is just a box, we haven't found anything else yet. If I had to guess, maybe this was originally a resting place for these teams."
"These teams?"
"Yes, judging from the text on the elevator, it is obvious that more than one team is exploring. With such a team operating in a group, and the captain is suspected of being in contact with someone, there should be more teams operating. I'm afraid this floor was originally It was a resting point occupied by the team, but it was suddenly attacked and turned into this..."
"Indeed, there is one here too!" Yan Zidan also took out a bow from another box.
At the same time, Xin Mi had already tried to cut open a person's mask through the cage. Her hands were steady enough, but when the mask fell, the person's head turned into black foam and collapsed. .
"Alas..." Xin Mi shook the scalpel, a little disappointed.
"It seems that all the corpses look like this." Long Tiangang shook his head and started to help Lu Ning rummage through the boxes.
"Hey, that's disappointing." Deng Zhiyi held up his knife to shine a light on it, then he picked up the gas mask that was turned out by everyone and looked at it.
"I would like you to help me find out what functions these things have. Maybe they can still be used." Xin Mi reminded.
"I still want to light up... Okay, okay." Deng Zhiyi curled his lips, "I thought this lighting function was just for auxiliary purposes. Why didn't the monster cut off a few lights and use them as light bulbs here..."
Yan Zidan chuckled lightly. Although the others did not make a sound, the atmosphere became a little more relaxed.
There was no danger during the rummaging process. After Long Tiangang searched a few boxes, he made some new discoveries. He tapped lightly with his knuckles against the wall, stopping every few times to change places and tap twice more. Lu Ning and others knew at a glance that they had discovered that there was some mystery behind the wall.
"What did Brother Long do before? We didn't even find out." Lu Ning was also a little surprised. She was looking for some obvious wall mechanisms. But Long Tiangang was obviously more professional. He had been looking for mechanisms like this before. He seemed to do all the work.
"I'm just a gym owner with some hobbies." Long Tiangang answered casually, and carefully touched the wall with his fingers, finally settling on the edge of an iron cage.
"Found it?" Xin Mi raised his eyebrows.
"Well, but there seems to be something wrong with the original machine. Xin Mi, please help me." Long Tiangang said.
Xin Mi walked over and inserted the scalpel into the crack in the wall where Long Tiangang struck. The blade was extremely sharp. It seemed that it took no effort to cut off the outer layer of the wall. It was very easy for her to dig a circular hole. out.
Everyone came closer, and there was actually a small electronic clock hidden in the wall. The date on it was out of order, but it seemed that the date and time on it could be adjusted manually. Long Tiangang observed the installation status of the electronic clock and concluded that it should have been buried when the wall was built, rather than something that was put in later.
"It seems that we can adjust this time...but what is the meaning?" Long Tiangang asked with squinted eyes.
"I think a certain date should have decisive significance." Xin Mi frowned, "But which day should it be?"
"The days when the Red Prison unfolded in the human world." Lu Ning said.
"Are you sure?" Xin Mi glanced at her.
"Before this, the Red Prison was in Hades, and I don't think there is human time in Hades. This watch uses our chronological and timing methods, and its meaning only exists here." Lu Ning said.
"In that case..." Long Tiangang reached in and slowly moved the date back to that day.
Then, everything shook, the solid iron cage was disappearing, and the bodies inside were also turning into nothingness. The smell of burning and screams came from outside, but they overlapped one after another, like countless tapes playing at the same time. Just as noisy.
"How..." Xin Mi and the others quickly grabbed the objects next to them to stabilize their bodies.
"Get out." Lu Ning immediately turned around and rushed to the door, but at this moment, countless coins began to pour in from outside the door, and a huge black hole instantly appeared under Lu Ning's feet. She did not fall, but the money did. They fell into the void one after another.
"What?"
"Be careful!" Deng Zhiyi held up the knife and slid over to drag Lu Ning out of the hole. At that moment, with the help of the green light on the knife, Lu Ning also saw the bottom of the hole -
There is a man looking up at the sky. He looked sad and his clothes were in tatters. The large amount of coins quickly piled up at his feet and was soon buried up to his knees.
Lu Ning never expected to see him here - President Zheng Yunting.
"No! Damn it!"
She stretched out her hand and patted the hole. Although it was like a transparent wall and could not be entered, the moment she patted it, the white ring suddenly lit up, and the seemingly empty hole instantly appeared. Five marks.
"Li Wenyue! What did you see!"
At this time, thanks to his teammate Qian Yipeng, he obviously noticed that Lu Ning's smashing action was obviously not normal, and he immediately asked. Lu Ning immediately shouted: "Smash open the surface of the cavity!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Yipeng took out the ghost weapon pen in his pocket and jumped up, rushing towards the hole. The tip of the pen stabbed the hole hard. The sharp weapon was obviously more lethal than Lu Ning's ring, although it still couldn't. penetrated, but a crack had already spread at the entrance of the hole.
The coins were still falling, and judging by the speed, Zheng Yunting would be buried in half a minute.
"No! It's too hard!" Qian Yipeng stabbed several more times, creating many cracks, but it was clearly in danger, and the invisible wall would not break easily.
Just then, a green light flashed.
Click!
Deng Zhiyi's bone knife slammed down, and the green light even left a burning mark on both sides of the cave entrance. The invisible wall was finally broken open. Lu Ning didn't have time to thank her, and hurriedly lay down at the entrance of the cave and looked down. go.
"President!"
"Li...Li Wenyue! Are you here to save me? I'm sorry! I'm sorry..." Zheng Yunting was pulling himself out of the money pile excitedly. He seemed to see hope of survival and climbed up using his hands and feet. At this time, Yan Zidan also took out a rope he bought in the supermarket from his bag and came over. The earthquakes have stopped, but the money is still pouring in.
"No matter who you saw..." Xin Mi suddenly said, "Are you sure that it is a real person?"
"It doesn't matter." Lu Ning smiled, and threw the rope down with Yan Zidan, letting Zheng Yunting catch it.
To be honest, Lu Ning didn't care whether the president lived or died, and he didn't even have any likes or dislikes. She just needs someone with a clear mind and the ability to communicate, and some memories of Zheng Yunting are enough. As long as some truth about Solitaire can be restored, nothing else matters.
"President! We are here to rescue you!" What he was thinking and what he was saying were not necessarily the same thing.
"It's my fault... It's my fault..." Zheng Yunting was even crying. He grabbed the rope and climbed up with difficulty. This was not easy when the coins were clanging and hitting him. He was already a little bruised and swollen.
"President! You are indeed not in the group!" Yan Zidan shouted, "Do you know that you have implicated us all in this!"
"I know a little bit, but... I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Zheng Yunting could only keep apologizing. Fortunately, the depth of the pit was only about seven or eight meters. With money under his feet, Zheng Yunting had already climbed half of the height. The tears flowing down his face showed that he was really miserable.
"What's going on in Bali Gong!" Lu Ning asked.
"I don't know either! I just entered in a daze, and was assigned the role of a project team leader... I was very happy at first, thinking that my resume was noticed. Who knows... who knows ..." Zheng Yunting shouted with a sad face, "I'm sorry for you! I accidentally found out that my account seemed to have been sent to another project, but I didn't understand anything! What these idiots did is all true! I originally wanted to brag about myself to Yan Meng, but I didn’t expect it to change immediately! Changed!"
"What changed? What happened to you? Tell me clearly!" Lu Ning pulled the rope hard.
"It's here, what kind of Red Prison... The project team leader just sounds nice, so he is a victim! I don't want to at all! Many people died, even me... Huh? Dead? Are you dead? ?”
Zheng Yunting stopped climbing upwards. His eyes were still looking at Lu Ning above, but they were full of doubts.
"Strange, I...should have been crushed to death by coins, right? Why do I still have the opportunity to talk to you? No - you should be dead too, right? Where have I seen photos of your death? Project team? No - Or are you here, dying and reborn? Red Prison, Red Prison, what, the pain of flesh and blood here——"
Lu Ning had already let go of his hands that were pretending to be pulling hard, and pulled out the Sawtooth of Destiny. Rotten flesh and blood is growing along the rope, and there are still coins imprinted on it.
"It seems that your death was much more tragic than it is now."
Zheng Yunting grabbed the rope with two bloody hands and continued to climb up, screaming.
"No! Don't! I'm alive! You can see me and talk to me! This is not hell, right? We have returned to the human world, right? Li Wenyue! You must want to live too! Also! You! Yan Zidan! Qian Yipeng! The death you experienced here——"
The scissors closed and cut the rope.
"Thank you for your last words, President. But we are not dead yet. The clones you have seen are somewhat different from our original bodies after all."
Zheng Yunting was still swelling, reaching out his rotten hands to try to grab the wall. But without the intervention of external forces, he was unable to resist the torrent of coins falling down, and the result waiting for him was just as he should have.
"Li Wenyue...is that...the president just now..." Yan Zidan asked tremblingly.
"I tend to think so. But the dead are still dead after all. Reversing time is not a state of being alive. It is just a ghost who has forgotten death. When he recalled it, his body also changed accordingly..."
"Thank you for thinking about this kind of thing so calmly." Xin Mi came over and witnessed Zheng Yunting's end.
"I once knew a Taoist priest who, although pedantic, was also upright. When we were chatting, he said that most of the deceased were unwilling to die, so once there was an opportunity, they would frantically look for a chance to return to the world. But if If everyone who died did this, then the world would have been in chaos." Lu Ning smiled and said, "Miracles are not impossible, but they can't happen at any time. I believe this."
"Anyway... that kid might as well say something after all." Deng Zhiyi put the knife on his shoulder again.
"It was in a hurry, so I asked a more important question. As expected, the transformation of this place is closely related to the travel agency in Baligong. If we leave the Red Prison, we must go there. As for here... ...Brother Long, please adjust the time back."
"good."
As time was turned back, everything returned to its original state, and those iron cages appeared again.
"Did you notice any changes in the indoor scenery when we just returned?" Lu Ning asked again.
Xin Mi and Qian Yipeng nodded. Indeed, these two people were the most careful.
"In addition to the iron cage, there are also some additional and fewer things. The equipment we took out was not here initially, so it disappeared after rewinding time." Qian Yipeng said.
"Yeah, of course."
"By the way, Sister Li, what did you say about clones just now? What does that mean? That kid yelled like crazy that you are dead too." Deng Zhiyi asked.
It took Lu Ning a few seconds to realize that this address was for him.
