I walked around the attic and felt nothing out of the ordinary.
Although the entire attic was very dark, each wooden board did not look like it might be possible to install other things.
But if those four people weren't hiding in the attic on the second floor, then the only possibility was that the rest would be on the second floor.
But just now, I didn't notice anyone running upstairs at all.
"Is it possible that it can really disappear out of thin air?"
Xie Chen murmured to himself that he absolutely did not believe this result, but he had no idea where the four people had gone.
Anyway, it is impossible to disappear out of thin air. If they can really disappear out of thin air, those guys will not have to pretend to take the foam box and leave as soon as they are seen by me.
It would be great if he just disappeared into thin air, since he wouldn't be able to find any trace anyway.
But despite saying that, the current situation is particularly complicated. I didn't come in at the first time just now, so I can only continue to go downstairs to check the specific situation.
Xie Chen turned around and returned to the opening of the attic. Then he sat down on the floor of the attic and climbed the ladder back to the first floor little by little.
Returning to the first floor, Xie Chen quickly looked at the clock face next to the coffee table.
The time above does not move.
In other words, during the time when I was in the attic, the function of the pocket watch continued without any interruption.
This is good news for me, but it only happens once or twice, and there is no guarantee that the pocket watch will not have problems next time.
I am still very worried about this situation.
"Forget it, at least it's still useful now, just hold on as long as you can."
Xie Chen reached into his pocket, took out the pocket watch and shook it. After turning off the time stopping effect, he stuffed the pocket watch into his pocket.
Even though the effect of stopping time has been lifted, there is still no emergency situation in front of us.
Compared with just now, the first floor now is no different from when I first entered.
After all, time stopped in the middle, so even if time is restored now, it will only be the time before he went to the attic.
Xie Chen looked around again and continued to remain vigilant.
After arriving in front of the coffee table, I reviewed it back and forth. I even picked up the tea cans on the table and opened them for inspection.
It's a pity that I couldn't find anything strange in these tea cans.
The aroma of tea is particularly strong, and even after smelling it, the strange smell inhaled by the nose seems to have been reduced a lot.
But as soon as I put down the tea can, this feeling disappeared immediately, and it didn't last long.
Xie Chen didn't care, he just wanted to confirm that these were really just tea leaves.
Anyway, there were no flaws, and it was impossible for this coffee table to really be able to hide four people.
The most likely ones are in the wooden boxes behind them, but it is also a particularly difficult task to screen out four of the wooden boxes that can hide people.
And just the time I spent checking out the fake dishes wasn't enough for all five of them to hide.
Xie Chen turned around and walked forward.
It passed through the area of foam boxes, but those foam boxes contained some cotton, which made me feel a little strange.
These cottons are not expensive, and the quality is not very good to the touch. Why do they need to be placed in these foam boxes?
But he couldn't get a specific answer, so he had to catch those four people before he could ask clearly.
Xie Chen slowly picked up a ball of cotton with his hands, and then squeezed it in his palm, but there was only a slight change.
This is cotton in a box in another area. It is similar to the one I touched before. The only difference is that the feel has changed.
Compared with the cotton in this area that I touched at the beginning, the fiber texture is rougher and less delicate.
But that's it, the other changes are not big at all.
Xie Chen stuffed the ball of cotton back.
Didn't I turn over all the cotton in the foam box to see if there was anything inside besides the cotton?
But the result was beyond my expectation. In such a big foam box, there was really nothing else except cotton.
Xie Chen was not discouraged, but put the foam box in a new place and slowly walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor.
This staircase was paved with slate tiles, and the polished side was particularly smooth. As soon as I stepped on it, I almost felt like I was missing something.
Xie Chen lightly rubbed his feet on the surface of the steps to stabilize his body and prevent him from falling to the ground.
However, because of this, it is difficult to keep oneself steady when walking on the surface of such stairs.
Uneven force may easily occur if you are not careful.
Fortunately, I was holding on to the handrail of the stairs, so I wouldn't accidentally fall on the stairs.
Xie Chen swayed to the left twice and walked towards the second floor little by little.
But as soon as he reached the bend, a large iron gate appeared in front of him.
There is a large thick iron chain wrapped around the middle of this thing, with two particularly large iron locks hanging on it.
Xie Chen was stunned for a moment. Just by the entangled iron chains, he could tell that those people definitely did not go to the second floor.
If you run up to the second floor tonight, even if the iron fence door has a lock, it will only be locked briefly. How could this thick iron chain be bent like this?
If it is so entangled, the two iron locks must be locked in the proper position, so that the iron chain and the large fence gate echo each other.
It must take more than a minute in the middle, otherwise it would never be possible to lock this thing so perfectly.
In that situation, it was too little time to hide, so how could it be possible to spend so much time locking this thing?
It's just fucking bullshit...
Xie Chen touched the iron lock in front of him with his hand. The keyhole inside seemed complicated just at a glance.
This thing can no longer be opened with just two wires, and Xie Chen also has a headache.
If you don't use other tools, you can only use the key to unlock the two locks in front of you.
But now I haven't even found anyone, let alone the key to the second floor.
Xie Chen released the two locks in his hands, turned around and carefully went down to the second floor.
However, compared with going upstairs, the effort going downstairs seemed more steady, and he was not able to fall down so easily. In addition, he was holding on to the stair handle next to him, which made him appear more stable.
Xie Chen turned around and quickly went downstairs. Now he was standing in front of the stairs and looking around.
I haven't found him yet, and there is no way to go up to the second floor.
After thinking about it from left to right, it seemed that there was no room for me to move.
"Or should we go directly to Big Ben now? Wouldn't it be safer..."
Xie Chen looked outside the door. At this time, there was no pedestrian passing by the roadside, and no one moved the goods placed there.
It is true that there is no business at all outside, but it doesn't feel like a store here.
It's more like some kind of piling up things and pretending to be a wolf in sheep's clothing.
But in fact, it was just him who noticed something was wrong, and those few people who were hiding from him were also among them.
In addition, I couldn't produce any evidence to prove what was strange here, and I couldn't find the four people either.
This is a very embarrassing situation.
Even if I know something is wrong here, I still can't solve the problem one by one.
Xie Chen stretched out and slowly came to the coffee table in front of him and sat down.
But he didn't dare to touch anything on it, let alone take a sip of water.
If there is anything added in it, you can send yourself away in one bite.
I am still very taboo and afraid in this regard.
Xie Chen looked forward. Beyond the wooden boxes stacked in front, he saw the ladder in the distance.
The front is pushed very low because of the attic, although this is a normal thing.
Xie Chen lightly gestured with his hands, but the final conclusion he reached was still the same as before.
The appearance of the attic from the outside is actually no different from the inside of the attic.
The only thing that's a little different is that the light outside is better, and the inside of the attic looks particularly dark.
But this difference serves no purpose.
The only thing I don't understand is why the attic should be completely sealed?
Although there is a small opening below, it can only accommodate one person to pass up and down.
Isn’t the purpose of an attic just to store goods?
If even people can barely pass through, how should goods be stored?
The items sold here are not those tiny bits and pieces. They can be stored in large quantities and can even be transported downward through such a small opening.
Besides, there is no light in the attic.
Logically speaking, what should not be done is to arrange all the lights, right?
Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to get up and down, let alone what the purpose of this attic is...
Xie Chen was a little helpless.
But even though I think according to normal people's thinking, it is precisely because of these unreasonable things that they all appear in front of me.
The more unreasonable it feels to me, the more confusing the existence of this attic becomes.
Moreover, in front of this funny and funny scene, the original purpose of the attic is to store items and make other places in the home look cleaner and tidier.
But now there are boxes piled up and down, and there are many white foam boxes on the side of the coffee table.
The things classified inside are actually not only wool, but also many other bits and pieces, but I didn't list them.
If you look at it this way, there is no need for the loft in front of you to exist at all.
"Not to mention, it seems to be used to induce vision..."
Xie Chen supported his cheeks with his hands, looked at the attic in front of him and thought about it for a long time, and then said casually.
