If what's needed here is outside light, then everyone, including the girl, is already a visitor to this hotel.

In other words, if the message conveyed by the boss is correct, we have no way to illuminate this thing.

But the flashlight that Lao Liu left us before must have been from elsewhere!

After all, the things Lao Liu had in his hands, including the Buddha statue glasses and the flashlight he gave me, did indeed come from the shallow central area with Lao Liu.

It could even be said that this thing was used by Lao Liu when he was still on land.

I was completely clear-headed at that moment. Luckily, Old Liu was still driving a taxi and brought these things to me.

When the flashlight shone down, the hole, which was about the size of a washbasin, was instantly illuminated!

The moment the light came on, the sound it conveyed also suddenly rose in pitch.

I could hear the wind whistling through the air.

It's like opening a window in a tightly closed car; suddenly everything feels bright and airy.

Looking at the pitch-black surroundings, although the lightning from the Thunderstrike Sword had illuminated much of the area, it was still very oppressive.

Hearing that sound, I felt a strange sense of relief.

At that moment, I looked relieved.

The whooshing sound had just made my nerve cells relax a little.

But the next second, my whole body tensed up again!

Below this cave wall, there is a gap of nearly 3 meters. Further down, there are those tiny black vines on the escalator when we were going down from the 3rd floor!

Once again, it's staring like eyes!

What horrified me even more was that some white bones were entwined beneath those vines.

Upon closer inspection, I realized it wasn't an animal, but a human skeleton!

I kept wanting to look away, but my eyes instinctively darted around.

Around there were broken fingers and toes, also bones!

After a careful examination, I saw that some of the bones were cut off, and the cross-sections were pitted and uneven.

Some of them have traces of melting or burning, like half-burnt wood.

When I saw this, I was almost completely stunned.

At that moment, Yiyi immediately took a few steps back.

Fatty Zhou didn't react much to this scene.

And it is precisely this lack of response that is the strangest.

"Do you know all this?"

I couldn't help but speak up.

"It's...it's someone who was trapped here before."

The landlord told me that the place wasn't clean before.

Fatty Zhou glanced over here a few times, his voice trembling slightly, but his attitude was one of utter indifference.

"Some were specifically buried here, while others fell in by accident..."

Hearing this, I was filled with emotion.

Luckily, I managed to grab Yiyi just now.

If she's not careful, she'll fall, and then it might be difficult to save her.

And it's not just young girls; I feel like I could even step on them next.

The lightning sword was also speaking loudly in my mind.

"Master, thank goodness you have sharp eyes!"

"I'm afraid you're going to fall, and I'll have to go down and save you!"

I just smiled at the lightning sword.

"If I really fall, you'd better be on your guard and pull me up."

I quickly grabbed the girl and pushed Fatty Zhou forward a big step.

But just as I took two more steps forward, I heard a cracking sound behind me.

Holy crap.

I turned around, and the ladder I had just been standing on suddenly cracked.

It was only the two sections we stepped on that shattered into pieces and fell into that dark hole.

I turned off the flashlight that Lao Liu gave us and carefully kept it safe.

The fragments that fell in only made a crackling sound before disappearing.

I noticed that the light shining through the flashlight did not disappear immediately when I turned it off.

This place seems to be a unique space, completely separated from reality.

Otherwise, a small mezzanine wouldn't be over 3 meters high.

I saw the light inside being gradually swallowed up by those vines.

As the vines engulfed a little, the light from Old Liu's flashlight would continue to press downwards a little further.

Until finally, it slowly devoured everything.

Using the last bit of light from the flashlight, I could see clearly that the vines, like flowers that could open their mouths, were gradually enveloping the remaining light.

"Damn it, when will this ever end?!"

At this moment, Lei Jijian couldn't help but curse.

And I feel the same way.

This staircase is just too ridiculous.

If I go any further up and find similar things, I really don't know what to do.

We can only be extremely careful and vigilant.

"Let's go! There's no time."

My son is still waiting for me up there!

Fatty Zhou continued striding upwards.

I looked around and saw that it was pitch black behind me, so there seemed to be no way out.

That mezzanine was definitely not a place to linger.

But now, on the way up, we should also be inside the mezzanine!

"No head... Lightning Strike Sword, feel the core inside this interlayer."

"Is it possible?"

I was giving instructions in my mind, just like the lightning sword.

"I can sense something, but it's very faint."

The lightning sword also made a somewhat strained sound.

"The core is in the darkness above, but it is surrounded by a lot of turbid air."

With my current strength, I could barely split him open.

But it needs to get close, and it needs ample time to build up its strength.

Although Lei Jijian didn't guarantee anything, I did feel much more relaxed.

"Alright, you charge up your power, and we'll cover you!"

I reassured Lei Jijian, but at that moment a faint light suddenly appeared above my head.

Holy crap, are we going out?

As I hesitated, the faint light immediately began to turn a dim, yellowish hue.

It's like the light of the setting sun, but not soft at all.

Instead, a hint of blood color was mixed into the white light.

I gave a push to the fat guy in front of me, and she, while catching her breath, suddenly looked up.

"The door! It's the door!"

This is it... I remember it.

Although I've never met him, the landlord told me about him.

I've dreamt about it too, and I'm certain that the dream wasn't a figment of my imagination!

This is it…

While shouting, Fatty Zhou quickly rushed forward to serve.

I noticed that his eyes were a little red at that moment.
