Subiezhi circled around the table again, and his fingers touched a smooth bump. He immediately put his face close to look at it, and with the help of the light, he could even see some small peck marks on it.
That's right. He was secretly happy. Being so smooth is undoubtedly the result of being rubbed repeatedly, and the scattered peck marks on it must be the work of that pigeon.
I didn't expect that beast to be quite smart. Subiezhi tilted his head and thought, and couldn't help but put his hand up.
However, just when he was about to press it, Subiezhi stopped immediately as if he was electrocuted.
Yes, it would be foolish to open it now. This was undoubtedly exposing himself, and his purpose was not to end with just one sightseeing trip.
Thinking this, he retracted his hand with restraint. But even though the destination is very close, I can't do anything, and I feel so frustrated. He thought in annoyance as he lay down on the ground to see if he could hear something.
Unfortunately, their design is watertight. Subiezhi lay on the ground and his ears were red, and he couldn't find where he could hear any sound.
"Alas..." Having gained nothing, he turned over and sat back on the ground, patting his thighs and exhaling.
Looking out the window, although the moonlight is still hanging in the sky, it is getting dimmer and dimmer. After all, it is already the fourth watch. There is not much time left for him. Is it true that this time he can only return without success?
I don’t know what’s going on over there at Dongfang Shiming. He raised his head and thought boredly, feeling a little tired.
Suddenly, he heard a slight sound coming from underneath him. In the extremely silent room, his senses seemed to be much more sensitive.
He immediately lay down on the ground and listened carefully with his ears. But after listening for a few seconds, he immediately realized: They should be going up the steps!
Not good. His thoughts tightened as if from inertia, and he immediately jumped up from the ground. He had to hide until they came out.
However, apart from the table, there was no other hiding place in the house. He looked back and forth, but still couldn't avoid it.
At the same time, a rumbling sound was heard from the heavy table!
With a "clang" sound, the table top was moved away, and a yellow beam of light shone up from under the ground. The next steps extended to the ground, and the ghost leader and others slowly walked out.
He looked around habitually, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
There were six or seven people following him, and all of them had come out at this time. When the ghost leader saw that his subordinates had come out, he snapped his fingers. The last person to come out pressed the button again, and everyone walked out of the room in an orderly manner.
At this time, outside the wall of the side hall, Subiezhi bowed tightly. Seeing the group of people walking away, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He tentatively appeared and returned to the side hall again. After looking around for nothing, he reached out and hesitantly pressed the switch on the table.
Suddenly, along with a rumbling sound, the dark surroundings suddenly lit up with golden light. Subiezhi didn't dare to attract attention from the outside. As soon as he saw the width that could allow one person to pass, he immediately jumped in, found the corresponding mechanism inside, and quickly closed the secret door tightly.
And when he turned around and faced the secret base that he had been looking for for a long time, he opened his mouth in surprise.
The space below is by no means as small as one imagines. It was a huge cave—or rather, they hollowed out the entire underground mountain!
Burning candles were hung everywhere on the rock wall. Climbing down the steps, after passing a short corridor, he quickly found the location where the ghost leader and others were secretly discussing.
He found a torn piece of paper on the ground and quickly leaned over to identify it. This is the letter sent by Bai Ge. There is no extra content on it, only the two eye-catching words "all dead".
"All killed...?" Subiezhi thought for a while, but soon guessed that this should be Dongfang Shiming's plan. But such a letter contains no valuable information, which is a bit disappointing.
He searched carefully around the high platform where they were discussing for a few more times, but he couldn't find anything else. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and praise their meticulous confidentiality work. However, after walking past the high platform, there was a row of steps going down not far away. Subiezhi thought that it would not be in vain, so he got up and walked over there.
Continuing down the steps over there, the lights gradually became scarcer. It was so dark that you couldn't even see your feet clearly, and with the cold wind coming from time to time, it felt a little creepy.
After all, Subiezhi was someone who had seen large battles before, so he was not frightened by this scene. He slowly walked up the steps and finally reached the world below.
The dim light of the oil lamp was so dim that it was difficult to distinguish his own shadow. At the same time, Subiezhi also smelled a vague smell of blood floating in the air, and his brows couldn't help but frown secretly.
He walked without making any noise in order not to reveal his whereabouts. But the road below was not only dark, but also much rougher. A little accidentally, the toe of his shoe hit a small stone, which rolled down the deep ravine beside the road with a "pop" sound.
"How unlucky." He said to himself secretly.
However, on the other side of the completely silent darkness, immediately after his words fell, like a lion's roar, there was a hysterical cry!
