The room was dark.
After Kuroba Kaito pushed open the dilapidated wooden door, a damp and moldy smell hit his nostrils.
He decisively took out the gas mask and put it on, and then he had time to look at the internal structure of the building.
After looking around, this room can still be called a living room. To sum up, it can be described in two words...
It's big and empty.
Because let alone furniture, there is not even a tatami or even a cardboard box. It seems that the purpose of entering here is just to go to the stairs leading to the second floor.
"No matter how you look at it, it looks suspicious..."
Kuroba Kaito muttered. He did not turn on the flashlight in a hurry, but took a few steps towards the stairs with the faint moonlight shining in from the window.
Click, click...
There is no abnormality in the echo produced by the contact between the sole and the floor.
But Kuroba Kaito couldn't conclude from this that there was no mechanism at his feet.
He held his breath and concentrated, already holding the chain gun in his hand, ready to deal with any crisis that might arise at any time.
However, at this moment, a calm and gentle voice without much emotion suddenly came from Kuroba Kaito's ears:
"It's too slow..."
Kuroba Kaito's hair suddenly stood up, and he suddenly turned his head to look, and saw half of a face peering into the room in front of the bright moonlight through the dilapidated window.
He was startled again. After seeing clearly who the owner of that face was, he finally controlled the urge to pull the trigger in that direction. He stared at the other person silently for a few seconds and said depressedly:
"Brother! What are you doing?"
"I've been looking at you for a while," Ye Gengyi yawned, "Can you hurry up?"
For a while?
Kuroba Kaito defended himself: "I came in less than two minutes ago!"
"How long do you want to take?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"At least half an hour." Kuroba Kaito said.
"oh."
Ye Gengyi responded and stopped talking. Instead, he stood quietly and stared into the room.
Kuroba Kaito: "..."
Why does it seem to feel even weirder...Suddenly it feels like watching animals doing acrobatics in a circus, and I am the one being watched.
He shook his head to throw the thought out of his mind, turned his head and said helplessly: "Brother... it makes me so stressed when you look at me like this."
"I was looking at the layout of the room, not you," Ye Geng said expressionlessly, "If you really feel uncomfortable, wouldn't it be better to treat me like a corpse?"
Corpse? This is also scary, and shouldn’t normal people say it’s a cucumber or a potato? What the hell is a corpse...
Kuroba Kaito had nothing to say, so he could only regard this as a kind of training, collect his mind and raise his feet to prepare for the next step.
However……
"Wait." Ye Gengyi spoke again.
"ah?"
Although Kuroba Kaito hasn't figured out the situation yet, his strong physical coordination ability was fully demonstrated at this moment.
He actually stood on one leg and leaned forward for 3 or 4 seconds. Then he slowly returned to the state when the two were talking. During this period, his body did not tremble at all.
"What's going on?" Kuroba Kaito was surprised.
"Through the observation just now, I found that there is a problem with the structure of this house." Ye Gengyi said: "Be careful when walking. First check the ridiculously thick column next to the stairs."
"good."
Kuroba Kaito responded, walked over carefully, then tapped it with his fingers, said with a light 'eh', "It's hollow."
"It seems there is a mystery hidden in it." Ye Gengyi said: "Take out the things I gave you and throw them on the floor."
Although Kuroba Kaito was a little confused, he still did as he was told.
Immediately, he saw the silver-white ball seeping through the cracks in the floor as if it was melting.
"Catch it." Ye Gengyi threw his cell phone into the room again.
Kuroba Kaito continued to be confused, "Brother? This is..."
"Extended signal."
Ye Gengyi explained briefly, and through the picture returned on the retina, he could see a spacious space under the floor more clearly.
However, compared to the first floor of this mechanism house, this place is not empty. What decorates it is not other things, but human skeletons.
...Xiaobai, check the composition of the air.
[Received, sir... The test is in progress. The test has been completed. Nitrogen accounts for about 77%, oxygen accounts for about 13%, methane and hydrogen sulfide 8%, helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon and other rare gases account for about 0.1%, carbon dioxide accounts for about 0.03%, other gases and impurities account for about 0.07%... It is basically determined to be an unsealed space. Do you want to continue exploring? 】
That's right.
Judging from the rock layers exposed on the wall, this cave may have been naturally formed from the beginning, but there are obviously more traces of being dug by people.
Ye Geng nodded and said: Look for other entrances.
【Yes, sir. 】
"Brother, are you okay yet?"
Here, Kuroba Kaito had already started looking around boredly.
Did you agree that I would break into this machine house alone? As a result, I became my brother's assistant inexplicably. Is there any...
Just as he was complaining silently, suddenly there was a clatter of chains from the corner of the room.
Then, at the end of the wall parallel to the stairs, a floor there opened like a book, revealing a hole leading to the stairs below.
"Perhaps this is the real entrance to the treasure."
Ye Gengyi used the sound of the mechanism opening to cover up the sound of footsteps, and at some point he arrived at Kuroba Kaito's side.
He took the phone back from the Kaitou boy's hand, patted the other person's shoulder, and said, "Why are you still standing there? Go ahead."
"Brother, what you do makes me feel no sense of accomplishment at all!" Kuroba Kaito complained.
"so troublesome."
Ye Geng rubbed his brows, but he didn't see any movement. He heard another clattering sound of chains, which meant that the mechanical gears were rotating and then closed again, saying:
"Go and open it yourself. The mechanism in the room is the wooden stick hanging from the ceiling and close to the wall right in front of us."
Kuroba Kaito: "..."
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻Is there any difference? Is there any difference between this and just opening the secret door and letting me go down!
"Hurry up," Ye Gengyi urged, "Don't you still need to use moonlight to identify gems? If you continue to mess around, it will be dawn."
Kuroba Kaito: "..."
(╥╯^╰╥)...Although I always seem to be thinking about me, the gems obtained in this way have no soul!
Even if it is really that Pandora, I, the magician under the moonlight, Phantom Thief Kidd, will never admit it!
