But just by saying that, Xie Chen's own eyes immediately lit up, as if he had thought of some idea.
Xie Chen immediately stood up from the coffee table, and then stared at the attic in front of him.
The attic itself is very obvious, and it occupies most of the area in front. The ground is particularly inconspicuous at this time.
Xie Chen walked slowly, trying to slow down his pace, and then came to the area in front.
But there is still a long way to go before the boxes inside. Unless you take another five or six steps, you will be considered to have completely entered the attic.
However, at this time, Xie Chen had already stopped and did not go any further.
Xie Chen glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost one o'clock.
If you want to compare the time, there is still nine o'clock before the time when you can go home, so you don't care about the time consumption at all.
It's just that something must be done now.
Xie Chen glanced at the clock hanging next to him and pressed it gently with his hand.
Time around him immediately stopped.
Xie Chen waved his hands gently and found that there were no restrictions.
After confirming that he had pressed the time-space pocket watch through his bag, the time-stop effect had begun to show, and Xie Chen walked into the area in front with confidence.
Now it’s time to start screening.
What I worry about is all the things that happen in front of me, even if it is to induce myself to distract myself and focus all my attention on what I can see in front of me.
Then take this opportunity to make yourself forget other directions of thinking, thus covering up the normal screening.
Xie Chen bent his body and walked through the narrow area below. He quickly passed through the small area among the stacked boxes and quickly moved the boxes squeezed together next to him.
Xie Chen just shuttled in the middle. Although it seemed very narrow, it could still accommodate one person.
And if there is a squeeze, it is not impossible for two people to pass next to each other.
Xie Chen came little by little to the inside where the boxes were stacked, and then pressed his palms on the floor below.
After a little exploration, the doubts in my heart were not solved.
Xie Chen still frowned, looking particularly uncomfortable.
If my guess is wrong, then I really don't know how those people disappeared out of thin air.
Fortunately, after a little exploration, with his right hand pressed on the floor, there was a sudden crunch, and Xie Chen's face was full of joy.
At least this voice proved that his guess was not wrong, and he was heading in the right direction for the time being.
But where exactly it is, I haven't found it yet.
But now that time has stopped, it is enough for me to explore slowly.
Xie Chen pressed down little by little, and soon came to a place where the sound was louder.
Xie Chen was not in a hurry, because there were many boxes stacked in front of him, and he couldn't move them away even if he was anxious.
The boxes on the left and right were all stacked together, which also resulted in no space for him to push in the middle.
Xie Chen knocked lightly, but the sound that spread in front was the result he wanted.
Xie Chen leaned his ears against the floor, and the expression on his face was also unconceivably excited.
Learning to climb forward little by little, I discovered that although the boxes on the side were stacked very much, there were still gaps for me to pass through.
Xie Chen pushed his legs to the left and slowly moved a box away. Although there was still a way to climb without moving it, after moving the box, his range of activities would increase a lot.
Xie Chen continued to knock, his ears very close to the wooden board.
As the distance gets closer and closer, the noise coming from the air becomes louder and louder.
Xie Chen patted it little by little with his hands, not taking it lightly.
Normally, the time-stop effect of a pocket watch is about ten minutes, but now I have spent nearly half of it.
Xie Chen took some free time to pick up his pocket watch and took a look at it. He roughly calculated how long the time-stop effect could be maintained.
Seeing that he still had plenty of time, Xie Chen was picking up the dust next to him with his hands, tapping and tapping, and followed the feedback from below to find the correct route.
The obstacle in the middle is actually not that big. The place where I am lying down is considered a normal route, so if I continue walking forward, nothing strange will appear.
If the bottom is solid, you can hear it directly with your ears as long as you put your ears close enough.
Although Xie Chen still found the wrong place once, it was normal. After all, he had been walking along the main route from the beginning.
Although the road ahead was correct, I forgot to look up at the place above.
There were so many boxes blocking the front, all stacked up and down.
If he hadn't bumped forward, he wouldn't have known he was against the wall now.
Xie Chen quickly changed direction and leaned to the left.
At least there was nothing wrong with this direction. To make sure he wasn't careless, Xie Chen patted the floor below several times.
It was a relief to tell the difference through the sound fed back into my ears.
At least the bottom should still be hollow.
As I climbed forward little by little, I finally came to an area on the side where wooden boxes were stacked.
Xie Chen gently held one of the boxes with his hands. Because there was a lever on the side, he could hold it tightly with his palms.
Xie Chen pulled the lever hard and pulled the box on the side to the left, and the right side also moved a little bit.
What appears above is a red square.
At this time, because the wooden box above was pulled open by itself, the block embedded in the floor also bounced up as the weight disappeared.
Xie Chen looked at this thing strangely, wondering what the use of this thing was.
But still afraid that he was looking in the wrong place, Xie Chen still lay down and patted the floor below with his hand.
He even used a lot of effort, fearing that he would make some mistake.
Fortunately, no unwanted results occurred in the process, and the sound was still very crisp and not particularly thick.
Although compared with other sounds, it was still inferior. The sound he heard when he lay on the ground and patted the floor was much clearer than this thing.
After all, this sound proves what kind of situation is down there.
Xie Chen frowned and raised his head again, still mumbling something.
"It seems like this is the place I'm looking for. Although it's still hollow, there's definitely something blocking it underneath the board."
Xie Chen said with a serious face, saying this to himself.
But you are right. Although the sound is crisp, it seems a bit calmer than the previous crispness.
This also means that something is definitely installed here, or that other places are different from here.
But no matter what, the solution now is to solve it. The solution now is to solve it
Xie Chen gently pressed his hand on the red square that appeared, but found that he had to press it down hard and could not push it back again.
It's like it's fixed down there, no matter how you move it, it's all in vain.
"Are you all so stubborn?"
Xie Chen shook his sore fingers and couldn't help but complain.
But no matter what, I still have to find a way to get this thing out of the way, otherwise I really won't be able to see what I want to see.
Xie Chen immediately stood up and stepped hard on it with his feet.
When he just kicked the red square button with his right foot, the thing quickly retracted downwards, as if it had already taken effect when he pressed it.
"Aren't you kidding me?"
Xie Chen retracted his feet again, and then squatted down again, lying in front of him and watching carefully.
But nothing seems to have changed.
Xie Chen frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"How do you do this..."
Xie Chen gradually brought his ear closer to the floor in front of him, and then gently patted it with his palm.
Although he didn't use much force, he didn't even think about it when the sound entered his ears.
Xie Chen was very excited. At least compared with just now, it was much crisper now.
The dull feeling had disappeared, replaced by an unusually crisp sound.
Compared with the sound coming from kneeling and patting at the beginning, the sound here this time is much clearer.
But when things go wrong, there must be a monster. What on earth caused this change below?
Xie Chen immediately cast his eyes on the red square, but at this time the red square had turned into deep black.
Xie Chen pressed it gently, but the thing didn't spring back at all, and no matter how hard he pressed it, it had no effect.
Xie Chen came back to his senses and turned his eyes to the wooden board in front of him.
As soon as I pressed it gently with my palm, before any other unnecessary movements were made, the thing immediately shrank back. This thing immediately shrank back.
"What the hell?!"
Xie Chen was startled and immediately took a few steps back. Because he was squatting, he jumped back like a frog.
Xie Chen didn't stand firm and even fell to the ground, but he didn't care about his image at all. He immediately squatted down again and stared at the noisy floor in front of him.
This thing was shaking at a very fast speed, and then quickly shrank to the side, and a black hole appeared in front of him.
Xie Chen's pupils shrank, this was exactly what he had guessed.
Since there is a loft in front of me that is just for show, and with so many goods placed underneath, it seems like it is a cover.
Since there is an attic, there is no way to find anyone in the attic. The most likely thing is that there is a cellar in this place.
And when I walked inside, I clearly felt that the touch under my feet was different when I passed the area where these wooden boxes were stacked.
At first, I thought it might be because of the wooden board, but now my suspicion has been verified.
The empty attic was just to divert attention. Maybe the cellar underfoot was the key to the problem.
Xie Chen looked at the pocket watch in his hand and saw that there were still three minutes left.
I want to see if those things are hiding in the cellar?
If you can catch it, you can see if it matches the clues left on the note.
Xie Chen licked his lips and glanced down.
The cellar is not particularly deep. Visually, it is only about two meters deep, and there is a slight light coming from it.
Xie Chen squatted down and put his hands on the floor next to him. Since the cellar was dug below, there must be some support measures to support the floors above. He was not worried that his weight would push the floor out. Question comes.
Xie Chen grabbed the floor with both hands and jumped in.
His whole body hung like this, and he quickly let go of his hand and quickly entered the cellar.
The dim light came into view at this moment, and the strong smell when entering the store also hit his face, as if telling himself that the inside of this cellar was the source of the smell.
