Standing in front of the iron gate of the tower, Gu Shi took out the bunch of keys he had just obtained. There were three heavy keys hanging on the already slightly bent key ring.
All three keys are black and gray, and one of them is obviously larger than the other two.
Gu Shi observed the keyhole on the iron door, and then inserted the slightly larger key without hesitation.
After turning the key a few times, he clearly heard a click, the sound of the lock being opened.
It’s true.
Gu Shi opened a gap large enough for his body to pass through, then quickly slipped in.
As soon as you enter the door, you are hit by an extremely sour and smelly smell.
Gu Shi had not expected this at all. He took a deep breath of foul-smelling air without any preparation, and his facial features couldn't help but shrink into a ball.
Trying hard to suppress the urge to cough, Gu Shi quickly hid in a corner. After putting on the gas mask from the space ring, he dared to breathe deeply.
The gas mask was given to him by Zhang Bei before.
Because they knew in advance that the Hamid family was good at using poison, the three of them were equipped with various special anti-poison props before starting the operation.
This mask is one of them, but Gu Shi never expected that he would use it in this situation.
After putting on the mask, Gu Shi finally had time to observe the surrounding situation.
This tower is not like the bell tower just now. It is completely sealed and no light from outside can penetrate.
Under such circumstances, there were only a few very dim lights hanging in the room, and ordinary people couldn't even see the road when they came in.
However, this was not a problem for Gu Shi. Although he did not have night vision, he could still see clearly as long as he looked carefully.
Gu Shi locked the iron door from the inside with the key before walking forward cautiously.
There is also a spiral staircase inside the tower. Due to the large space, a room is separated out inside in addition to the staircase.
Gu Shi didn't go upstairs. He walked around the stairs and headed towards the room at the back which was separated by iron railings.
There was no light here, and it was pitch black inside. Gu Shi could only use the faint light from the side to barely see what was happening behind the railing.
There were many people lying in the room, both alive and dead.
The living people had heavy iron chains tied to their hands and feet. They lay motionless on the cold ground. Apart from the slight movement of their chests, they looked no different from the dead.
The bodies of the dead were thrown aside at random, and the guards here had no intention of cleaning them up. They were left to rot and stink without anyone paying attention, and in the end only a pile of bones was left.
Gu Shi sighed softly, feeling that it was as expected.
The first time Gu Shi saw this room, he knew that the situation inside couldn't be very good.
After all, this iron fence is completely standard prison equipment, and coupled with the harsh environment in the tower, it is conceivable that the people imprisoned here will definitely not be treated well.
Putting aside the sigh in his heart, Gu Shi carefully observed the situation in the prison.
It seems that all the people imprisoned here are elderly people. Their hair is either completely white or half gray, and their breathing is very weak, as if they may die at any time.
After checking the first floor, Gu Shi went up the stairs and checked the other floors one by one.
He was not in a hurry to save people. Although these people looked very pitiful, Gu Shi did not forget the purpose of his visit. Moreover, Zhang Bei warned him several times before the action not to be soft-hearted.
After he rescues the people they need to rescue, if he still has the strength to spare, Gu Shi doesn't mind helping these people, but if the situation does not allow, Gu Shi can only say sorry to them.
The situation in other places is similar to that on the first floor. There are many people locked up in the rooms on each floor. Those who are still alive should be controlled by some kind of drugs. They are all unconscious and unconscious.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Gu Shi to not see a single sober person after looking through all the layers.
This is probably why there are no additional guards on duty in this tower. After all, everyone is unconscious and there is no need to worry about them making any unusual movements.
The higher you go, the younger the people in prison are and the fewer people die.
The people imprisoned in this tower are all ordinary people, and Gu Shi has not seen any professionals yet.
Gu Shi did a quick count and found that the total number of people in the tower, both living and dead, easily exceeded three digits, not counting those that were no longer in shape.
There is only one layer left.
Gu Shi walked step by step towards the sixth floor at the top.
Um?
This floor was completely different from what Gu Shi had imagined. Unlike the floors below, the sixth floor did not have a prison for locking people up. Instead, it was a fairly flat open space.
Gu Shi stood at the stairs and could see the entire situation on this floor at a glance.
This is a platform without any obstructions, and the surrounding environment is completely different from the floors below.
There was an extremely bright light hanging above the head, and the floor was so clean that it was even as shiny as if it was covered with tiles.
At first glance, Gu Shi thought he had walked into a banquet hall.
Gu Shi walked around carefully and found that there were still some indelible marks on the smooth ground.
He squatted down and touched a subtle shadow on the ground with his hand. When he raised his hand again, there was not a speck of dust on it.
It can be seen that the person responsible for cleaning here is really attentive. If these traces had not already penetrated into the floor, Gu Shi might not be able to see them now.
Gu Shi took out a pen and paper and drew the remaining traces on the ground on the paper.
These traces are incomplete. When they appear on the ground, most people would think they are stubborn dirt that cannot be removed. But when Gu Shi draws them on paper, they vaguely reveal their true appearance...
"Is this... some kind of magic circle?"
Gu Shi looked at the complex pattern on the paper and had a guess in his mind.
Gu Shi had seen countless magic circles under Field's guidance. Even though he had not studied in depth in this area, he still had the necessary sensitivity.
Although the pattern was disjointed and completely unrecognizable, Gu Shi's intuition told him that it was most likely a magic circle.
After recording these traces, Gu Shi felt around the wall again. After confirming that there was no hidden mechanism here, he prepared to leave.
When Gu Shi came out of the tower, it was already dark. He turned around and locked the door, then took another look at the main building in front of him. He didn't know how Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan were doing in their exploration.
