The stairs extended downward for a long distance, and then ended in a room. Yi Liuling estimated in her mind that they should have reached about the fourth floor. But it makes sense. Judging from the thickness of the old school building, there won't be enough room for stairs if you go further.
At the end of the stairs was a room that was about the same size as an ordinary dormitory, but was surrounded by walls. Yi Liuling grabbed Ji Shuzhai who was walking in the front - after making sure there was no ghost, he was quite brave - Didn't let him into the room.
"This place is really dark." Kun Yi, who was standing in third place, slanted his flashlight upwards and saw a ceiling magic lamp on the ceiling, but now it had no energy and was no longer on. "It seems like An abandoned secret passage, I don’t know what it was used for.”
"Wow, is this the only four walls of the house?" Although Jonathan, who was standing in the fourth place, had not yet entered the room, he could already see some from the gap between the stairs and the ceiling from his position, so he started to use random words again. Idiom, "But there seems to be no way out of this place. Is this secret passage sealed?"
"Since the man was able to escape just now, it means there must be an exit here. Let's look for footprints first." Yi Liuling asked Kun Yi for a flashlight and shined it on the floor of the room.
There was still a thick layer of dust on the ground, so the footprints of the person just now were clearly left. This is why Yi Liuling didn't let Ji Shuzhai go on.
"Ah, that's it." Ji Shuzhai had the best view, and he immediately saw the footprints disappearing against the wall. "Is there some mechanism on that wall?"
After confirming the location, several people walked down the stairs one after another. Kun Yi walked over first and used magic to sense it: "It should be a mechanism. There is no magic left here, which means no magic was used."
"Dong dong dong." Ji Shuzhai knocked on the wall with his hand, groped it carefully again, turned to the others and said, "No, this should be the wall facing outward in a normal room. I don't have it." Found some mechanism."
The man who knocked on the wall had not been gone for long. If he really used some mechanism to open the wall, he should have left some traces, but the few people did not find anything similar.
"No, it's not the wall," Angela said suddenly, "it's the floor."
Kun Yi shined the flashlight at the location pointed by Angela, and today he found that the edge of one of the floor tiles was a little strange, and the gap between it and the bricks next to it was very clear. And it happens that this floor tile is also very close to the location where the footprints disappeared. In theory, if it can be opened, it will only take one step to get down from here.
Yi Liuling walked to the edge of the floor tile and squatted down. He took out a dagger and stabbed it into the gap. With a slight pry, the floor tile tilted up. After removing it, a dark hole was revealed.
There is no mystery to this hole. It is a bit like a common sewer entrance in the city. There is a long ladder welded to the wall.
With the magician Kun Yi here, they naturally did not need to climb down bit by bit like ordinary people. After the former gave each of them a slow fall spell, everyone jumped down one by one like Teletubbies. . The speed of falling can be controlled by grabbing the ladder on the side from time to time, so there is no need to worry about falling to death.
The passage this time was very long, going all the way down from the fourth floor to the first floor. Therefore, everyone inferred that when this secret passage was first built, the room on the fourth floor was planned to be used as a lounge. That is to say, no matter what the secret channel is used to monitor, it should be a relatively long-term job.
Finally, six people walked out of an inconspicuous small house behind the dormitory building. From a structural point of view, this small house should be a former garbage dump, and the exit of the secret passage is located in a large trash can at the end of the room.
This design is quite good. In a smelly place like a garbage station, most students would just throw the garbage bag into an empty bucket and leave in a hurry with their noses covered. No one would rummage here carefully. As the deepest trash can, reaching here requires extraordinary endurance. If you pile full trash bags inside in advance, you don't need to worry about anyone discovering it.
Unfortunately, they discovered twice that the secret passage process took too long. When they finally reached the end, the person who knocked on the wall in the first place had long since disappeared.
"Brother Ling, what do you think about this?" Fei Huihua asked Yi Liuling.
Yi Liuling thought for a while and replied: "My idea is that most haunted things are caused by someone pretending to be a ghost."
"Why is it related to being haunted?" Ji Shuzhai asked, "Aren't you trying to arrest the person who took the secret passage?"
Yi Liuling did not explain immediately, but first talked about another thing: "When Kun Yi and I came over just now, we discussed the matter of someone in the secret passage, and he could feel strong emotional changes. In addition, , Yousheng told me that it felt a strange change in airflow when it was digging through the wall, which means that this person did not leave as soon as he finished knocking on the wall, but left when we were about to break through the secret passage."
"Have you ever discussed such a thing?" Fei Huihua looked at Kun Yi in surprise. The latter nodded, then pointed at Ji Shuzhai: "He can testify."
"I testify, I was at the scene." Ji Shuzhai quickly answered, "They also told me to find an opportunity to mention the ghost thing."
"When Brother Ling said there were no ghosts in this building, I smelled positive emotions." Kun Yi shrugged, "Although I didn't feel it very clearly when there was a wall, but fortunately the ghost in the wall He is very weak, no, he is even an ordinary person, so I can detect it easily."
"In other words, this person wants us to discover that there are no ghosts here? Why?" Jonathan was a little confused. "Do ghosts really prevent him from peeking into my body?"
"Why do you assume that he must be here to peek at your body?" Angela looked at Jonathan with a puzzled expression, although her focus was a bit distorted, "Can't he just look at us?"
Jonathan replied confidently: "Because you don't have as cool muscles as me."
Angela rolled her eyes, decided to ignore Jonathan, and continued to say to Yi Liuling: "So you think this person is related to the matter of pretending to be a ghost?"
"I even think they are the same person, and I have thought up all the reasons." Yi Liuling tapped his temple. During the few days before he went to Tuiqun County, Yousheng was locked in the warehouse and was bored, so he kept Cultivate that fruit of wisdom.
Yousheng said before that its flowers were related to the abilities of itself and Yi Liuling, so when the wisdom fruit improved a little, Yi Liuling felt some changes in herself. Although it can't be said that my IQ has become higher, my mental supplementation ability has really become much stronger.
So, a strange story came out of his mouth.
