Beneath the Upper City

No one knows when it began—

But the world was split in two.

Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.

Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...

Chapter 215 Secret Door

"Takamatsu Chao must have stayed here for a long time!"

In the alley, Huizi tightened his nose: "Besides, he just left, the smell is still there."

Xu Ben looked at Huizi with some envy.

"Brother Hui, let me be honest, in our [Wild Dog House], you're the only one who deserves the name 'dog'!"

Huizi turned around and glared at Xu Ben: "Are you envious?"

"What am I envious of?"

Xu Ben raised his head and said, "My eyesight is better than yours, that's all! Can I be better than you in everything else?"

Huizi was about to speak when he was interrupted by Qiao Fei.

"Hurry up and get to work. Gao Songchao may be back anytime soon."

Huizi and Xu Ben stopped bickering.

Following the smell, Huizi led everyone to the door of a house deep in the alley.

"This is it."

Huizi turned around and said to Ning Fan seriously, "It smells very strong."

Ning Fan looked at the tightly closed door and went to the window again.

The windows were boarded up from the inside, so you couldn't see what was going on inside from the outside.

After hesitating for a moment, Ning Fan asked, "Is there anyone who can open the lock?"

According to everyone's strength, this kind of door can be kicked open with one kick.

But now Ning Fan couldn't be sure what was inside.

He didn't want Gao Songchao to find out that someone had been there.

"Ning Fan, we are travelers, how could we do this kind of work..."

Huizi was halfway through his words when he saw Xu Ben squatting in front of the door and starting to study.

After observing for a moment, Xu Ben chuckled, found a piece of wire nearby, poked it a few times, and the lock opened with a "snap".

"No, Daben, who did you learn this skill from?"

Huizi was confused.

"My dad!"

Xu Benting said proudly: "My father said that many skills are always a burden. I have been trained to be an all-round talent since I was a child!"

"Old Xu is such a fucking dad!"

Huizi sighed and pushed open the door.

Qiao Fei and Ning Fan had already held the Tang Dao and Broken Sword in their hands.

If any threat appears inside the door, the two of them can protect Huizi immediately.

The room was dark.

Xu Ben became excited and strode in.

"Slow down."

"It's okay, nothing."

Xu Ben's eyes lit up as he walked in and looked around. There were only some very common furnishings, nothing surprising at all.

"Brother Hui, are you sure this is it?"

"Sure!"

Huizi sniffed again: "It smells like Gao Songchao."

Ning Fan and Qiao Fei had also walked in and turned on the lights.

As Xu Ben said, there is nothing surprising here.

Ning Fan frowned and walked around the room, feeling even more confused.

If it was just an ordinary residence, why would Gao Songchao go so far away to rest here?

"Something's wrong. There seems to be someone here."

Huizi sniffed it hard a few times: "Women's...that kind of fragrance!"

Speaking of this, Huizi's eyes looked a little strange.

"Could it be... Gao Songchao is hiding a woman here?"

This result was unexpected by everyone.

"But there's no one here?"

Xu Ben looked around again.

Huizi ignored him and followed the smell into the bedroom.

Finally, he stopped by the bed.

Seeing this scene, the other three were a little disappointed.

There is no doubt that Gao Songchao is hiding a woman.

And this woman should not be here now.

Only the smell remained on the bed.

However, just as Ning Fan was about to ask everyone to leave, Huizi pushed the bed open.

The creaking sound made one's teeth ache.

"Brother Hui, what are you doing? You may be jealous, but you shouldn't flip someone's bed over... Oh my god!?"

Before Xu Ben finished speaking, his expression suddenly became interesting.

There is a secret door under the bed.

Huizi looked at Xu Ben and curled his lips and said, "Da Ben, what did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly!"

"Hehe! Brother Hui is awesome, otherwise why would I call you a 'dog'?"

Xu Ben squatted beside the secret door with a smile on his face, and looked up at Ning Fan: "Dafan, do you want to come in?"

"Since I'm here."

Ning Fan squatted down and opened the secret door.

There was a faint light coming from inside.

"I'll go down first."

Ning Fan was the first to enter the secret door.

Below the secret door is a stone staircase.

The stone steps are not long, and it only takes about ten steps to go down.

However, when Ning Fan arrived at this hidden basement and saw the scene inside, he was stunned.

"Dafan, why did you stop? What's here?"

Xu Ben also went down to the basement out of curiosity.

Soon after, Qiao Fei and Huizi followed.

Everyone was stunned.

The basement is not big, only about 20 square meters.

And right in the center of this basement, there is an iron bed embedded in the ground!

A woman was tied to the iron bed.

Very beautiful woman!

The woman was wearing an expensive nightgown, but her entire body was tightly bound with iron chains as thick as her arms.

Moreover, a large piece of rags was stuffed in her mouth.

The woman seemed to have heard the noise as well and turned her head with difficulty.

When she saw Ning Fan and others coming down, a look of doubt flashed across the woman's beautiful eyes.

Knock knock.

"Ms. Lu, I'm Gao Songchao."

In front of Lu Li's house, Gao Songchao had returned to his friendly and gentle self.

Even though the door wasn't open, he still kept his kind smile.

No one in the room responded.
