Chapter 259 Underground

Seeing that Huang Xu's tone of voice was a little slow in replying, He Zhiran knew that her hypnosis was about to fail.

Mo Jiuye also noticed something was going on and anxiously asked, "Who are you guarding?"

Huang Xu: "No...I don't know. It was someone sent by the master."

As soon as he finished speaking, he came to his senses.

He Zhiran put away his pocket watch and stood up, looking at Mo Jiuye: "Do you have anything else to ask?"

Mo Jiuye shook his head: "No more."

As soon as he finished speaking, he killed Huang Xu with a knife.

As for the two bodies, there is no need to hide them. Since they have come to Simeng Villa, they will definitely check the place thoroughly. Even if the two bodies are not there, it will still attract the attention of those who are interested.

He Zhiran moved her mind, and she, Mo Jiuye, and two corpses appeared outside the space.

The two bodies were thrown there, and the two men came to the dry well again.

Now knowing that there was no danger in the dry well, Mo Jiuye grabbed He Zhiran's waist and jumped down.

Standing at the bottom of the well, there was indeed a recessed iron door. Mo Jiuye reached out and pushed the door open.

What comes into view is a narrow passage that can only accommodate one person, with a few dim oil lamps on both sides of the passage.

Mo Jiuye walked in front, followed closely by He Zhiran. After walking about a few dozen meters, the front became brighter and brighter.

At the same time, they could faintly hear conversations.

"Big Brother and the others have been out checking for so long and haven't returned. Could something have happened?"

"I don't think so. Big Brother has already developed his own life-saving Gu, and he will be able to save his life when necessary."

"But they've been out for so long..."

Before he could finish his words, the person he was talking to heard the door open.

"Big Brother, why did you take so long?"

"Your eldest senior brother has gone to meet the King of Hell." Mo Jiuye answered jokingly.

This sound was unfamiliar to everyone in the secret room, and several of them looked towards the door at the same time.

They saw a man and a woman standing there, staring at them with their arms folded.

Several people simultaneously reached into their arms, took out their own poisonous insects, and took a defensive posture.

At the same time, a man who looked older asked, "Who are you?"

Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran walked towards the man slowly and without any intention of answering.

Seeing this, the man quickly opened a porcelain bottle in his hand and released a poisonous insect.

Before the poisonous insects got close to the two of them, they began to flee in all directions.

Seeing this, the others immediately became alert and released their own poisonous insects.

Mo Jiuye raised the flamethrower and sprayed fire at the poisonous insects. In the blink of an eye, the three poisonous insects were burned to ashes.

The three were horrified when they saw this. This was the first time they encountered such a situation when using the insects.

Especially these poisonous insects they raise, over time they have reached a state of telepathic connection with their masters. As long as the master controls them carefully, they will never die easily.

But what did they just see?

Their poisonous insects were actually burned to death by the fierce fire they had never seen before...

After looking at each other, they prepared to release the remaining poisonous insects. They were even ready to do it themselves.

He Zhiran would not give them the chance to release the poisonous insect, so he raised his hand and threw out a packet of sleeping pills, knocking them all unconscious.

The small porcelain bottles in their hands also fell to the ground as their owner fainted, making a series of clinking sounds.

Mo Jiuye quickly stepped forward, collected the small porcelain bottles together, and used a flamethrower to kill all the poisonous insects.

Then he searched several people's bodies, but found no other poisonous insects except some silver bills.

These people were drugged by He Zhiran herself. Without any external interference, they would sleep for at least two hours. She and Mo Jiuye tacitly agreed not to rush to interrogate them, but to start searching the secret room.

This secret room is quite large, with more than a dozen rooms visible to the naked eye.

There are not only study rooms and practice rooms, but also kitchens and toilets.

In addition, this should be the bedroom where Mr. Simeng’s apprentices live.

The two men first searched the bedrooms and found a considerable amount of silver and money in addition to some men's clothes.

It goes without saying that these people would take on some shady business and use poisonous insects to work for their employers. It is conceivable that their income must be considerable.

He Zhiran was not interested in the men's clothes, so she directly put the banknotes into the space.

After searching all the bedrooms, the two went to their practice room.

There was nothing special about the training room. It just had some meditation cushions and some small porcelain bottles containing poisonous insects.

Finally, they reached the study.

The study in the secret room is almost the same as that of an ordinary family. Bookshelves are placed against the three walls. In addition to books related to witchcraft, there are also some books about drug making.

He Zhiran didn't know whether he would need these books in the future. In short, it would be better to avoid spreading such harmful things outside to avoid harming more people.

So, she waved her hand and put all the books and the bookshelf into the space.

I thought that just like before, all the objects in front of me would disappear where they were.

But no...

All the books on the bookshelf facing the door disappeared, but the bookshelf remained motionless.

Mo Jiuye immediately realized that something was wrong. Given his wife's usual style, it was impossible for her to leave only this one bookshelf.

There must be some special reason why it couldn't be put into the space.

"There's something wrong with this bookshelf. My thoughts don't work." He Zhiran said.

At this moment, Mo Jiuye had already tentatively stepped forward and touched the bookshelf.

On the surface, this bookshelf didn't seem to be anything special, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move it even a little bit.

"There's definitely something wrong with this bookshelf." Mo Jiuye frowned and said, "If my prediction is correct, this should be the entrance to a secret passage or something."

He Zhiran had the same guess.

"Huang Xu said that there is another person here that Mr. Simeng sent to them for care. He must be in the secret room."

The two gave up moving the bookshelf and started searching in the study.

Except for the books and the bookshelves on the other two sides that were put into the space by He Zhiran, all other objects remained in their original places and were not moved.

After taking a quick look around, Mo Jiuye finally came to the only desk in the room.

He first knocked on the table, and when he saw nothing unusual, he tentatively reached under the table to feel around.

He Zhiran saw that he suddenly stopped and asked, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Mo Jiuye said solemnly: "The switch should be here."

However, he tried pushing it a few times, but there was no movement at all.

He Zhiran took out a flashlight from the space, and the two of them crawled under the table to observe carefully.

The switch that Mo Jiuye mentioned looked like an ordinary piece of iron.

If they hadn't guessed that the bookshelf might be the entrance to a secret passage, it would have been hard for them to imagine that this iron lump was the switch.
