Except for the echoes that kept coming out, nothing happened in the corridor, everything was as usual.
Seeing this scene, everyone let out a sigh of relief and immediately relaxed a lot.
The next moment, almost all the French people, including Henry and the others, yelled angrily.
"What a bastard. He is destroying historical and cultural sites. It's so abominable!"
"Since it is certain that this underground tunnel is Napoleon's path to victory, how dare he do this?"
Unlike Henry and other French people, the tens of thousands of fans who were watching the exploration live broadcast in the live broadcast room all laughed with gloating.
"Well done, Xiao Ran, this part is so fun to watch!"
"Don't talk nonsense, this is by no means a sabotage, it's just a necessity for exploration."
At this moment, Xiao Ran had picked up the heavy police shield.
Then he squatted down and looked at the stone slab with the number 10 engraved on it again, and then said with a smile:
"It seems that my guess is correct. There is no trap under this granite slab with 10 engraved on it."
"It can be determined from this that this corridor is indeed a road to Napoleon's victory."
"The code for safe passage through this corridor is the Arabic numerals carved on the steps, which symbolize Napoleon's military exploits!"
"I want to make it clear here that my actions are by no means sabotage, but necessary to ensure safety. There is nothing wrong with that!"
"In fact, there is solid ground underneath this granite slab, and the damage caused by the police shield hitting it is almost negligible!"
At the same time as he said these words, his technicians gave a high-definition close-up picture of the stone slab at the right time.
The stone slab that appeared on the live broadcast screen had only some old friction marks on it, all of which were left more than 200 years ago!
The heavy police shield in Xiao Ran's hand left almost no trace.
Seeing this scene, all the angry French people, including Henry and Carlin, immediately shut up.
Next, Xiao Ran raised his feet and stood on the granite slab with 10 carved on it, and began to check the surrounding situation.
On the walls on both sides of this corridor, in addition to round holes that exuded deadly threats, there were two small niches!
In the niche on the left wall, there is a bronze statue of the Virgin Mary, which has long been rusty.
In the niche on the right wall, there is a bronze statue of St. John, which is also covered in traces of rust, but slightly lighter.
In addition to the two bronze statues, there is also a similarly rusty bronze candlestick on the wall, which is somewhat damaged.
The difference is that the two bronze statues in the niche are in neoclassical style, but the bronze candlestick is in early Baroque style!
The moment he saw this difference, Xiao Ran not only let out a surprised sound.
But he didn't say much, but looked up at the vault above.
There are three dark round holes above the vault, facing the steps below.
In each of the three round holes, there is a rusty javelin, which seems likely to shoot down at any time and pierce the intruder standing on the steps.
Then, Xiao Ran looked at the next section of the corridor.
Looking down from this position, you can see a hornet's nest-like round holes arranged in disorder on the walls and vaults on both sides of the lower corridor!
Without exception, every round hole symbolizes death and can kill someone at any time!
At the end of the next section of the corridor, there is Napoleon's beautiful girl, and the black muzzle is pointed directly at Xiao Ran's position!
Seeing this scene, everyone took a breath and felt terrified!
This is simply a desperate place!
If you don't know the correct access code, anyone who enters will be doomed!
Even if you know the access code, if some clumsy or careless guy gets in, he will still die!
After a quick glance at the situation in the lower corridor, Xiao Ran immediately withdrew his gaze and looked at the two bronze statues displayed in the niches again.
This time he observed very carefully and obviously attached great importance to these two bronze sculptures.
At the same time, Henry and others on the ground, as well as several archaeologists and antique art appraisal experts, were carefully examining these two bronze statues!
After a moment, Xiao Ran suddenly said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe everyone has seen something."
"The statue of the Virgin Mary in the left niche and the statue of St. John in the right niche are both neoclassical sculptures."
"The candlesticks and torches in this corridor, as well as the religious murals on the walls, are all in the early Baroque style."
"In other words, these two bronze statues are very special. They were put into this corridor later, but these two niches are in the early Baroque style."
"It was determined from this that the two early Baroque sculptures originally placed here had been removed long ago and replaced by these two neoclassical sculptures."
"There must be a reason for this change."
"I speculate that these two neoclassical-style sculptures are most likely the master switch that controls various traps in the corridor, or one of the master switches."
Listening to his words, people were shocked again and stared at the two bronze sculptures carefully.
Some of those who knew Western art did not make any new discoveries except that it was a neoclassical sculpture, let alone a switch that controlled a trap.
Even the professionals gathered on the first floor of the apartment building were confused and confused!
However, no one questioned Xiao Ran's words.
Since he said this is the master switch that controls the mechanism trap, or one of the master switches, then it should be!
This has been proven countless times.
Xiao Ran's sharp eyesight impressed almost everyone!
Just when everyone was watching with wide eyes, Xiao Ran suddenly walked to the statue of St. John on the right and took a closer look.
Then he turned around and took a closer look at the statue of the Virgin Mary on the other side.
The next moment, he suddenly said:
"Gentlemen, my previous speculation is probably correct. Next, I will conduct an experiment."
"For your own safety, Matthew and Charlie, please exit the corridor first and come back in after you are sure it is safe."
Without any hesitation, Matthew and the others immediately nodded and responded:
"Okay, Sean."
With that said, they cautiously stepped back.
After they exited the corridor safely, Xiao Ran immediately took action.
He picked up the heavy police shield, put it on his back with one hand to protect himself, and then looked at the statue of St. John.
"In this niche, I found some special friction marks. Although they are very hidden, they can still be found."
"In the niche with the statue of the Virgin Mary, there are no traces of this"
"From this, I infer that this bronze statue of St. John is the switch that controls the trap."
"The statue of the Virgin Mary is used to hide the truth from others. This arrangement is very clever."
While he was speaking, he suddenly stretched out his right hand, pressed it on the statue of St. John, and then pushed the statue into the wall with all his strength.
As he moved, the neoclassical bronze sculpture displayed in the niche suddenly sank deeper into the wall.
At the same time, there were bursts of rattling sounds coming from the wall, which was extremely harsh.
Seeing this scene, everyone held their breath for a moment, raised their hearts to their throats, and stared at Xiao Ran's every move and the wall!
However, apart from the harsh sound of the machinery turning, nothing strange happened in the corridor.
There were no rusty javelins and arrows shooting out, the cannon deep in the corridor did not fire, and there was no sudden and fatal flip on the ground.
In a moment, the harsh sound of the machine's rotation suddenly disappeared, and the corridor became quiet again.
Xiao Ran, carrying a heavy police shield with one hand, stood on the steps intact.
The right hand that was pressed on the statue of St. John and stretched into the wall has been withdrawn.
Seeing this scene, everyone understood.
Xiao Ran's inference was completely correct. The statue of St. John was indeed the switch that controlled the trap.
But there is no way to know whether it is the main switch that controls all the mechanisms in the corridor or the switch that controls some local mechanisms and traps!
No one knows whether the next section of corridor after the first turn is safe!
At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly picked up the heavy police shield, turned around and walked up, as if he was about to exit the corridor!
During the return process, he was still very careful, stepping on the stone slabs engraved with safety numbers every step of the way.
In a moment, he had exited this dangerous underground tunnel.
The moment he exited the corridor, the heavy police shield in his hand suddenly fell and hit the first step in the corridor!
What's more important is that one or several deadly traps are connected under the stone slab he chose!
"ah!"
People exclaimed and were all frightened.
