What is it like after entering the water?
The eardrum swelled, and there was darkness and silence in front of my eyes, as if everything in the world had gone away. Endless loneliness, loss, fear and other emotions were like maggots attached to my bones, and could not be shaken off.
but...
None of this bothered Sakaki Makoto.
He placed his fingers on the edge of the pool, emptied his body, and slowly sank.
After a while...
He felt a dull pain in his eardrum and the pressure in the water was getting greater and greater. He knew he had already dived more than 10 meters.
There was a bottomless abyss under his feet. Makoto Sakaki had an illusion that he was like a mole that was determined to drill through the earth's crust, constantly digging holes, holes, and holes...
In the silence, he could feel the water flowing around him, becoming more and more turbulent, like a flood that had been opened.
He had to stick to the wall to keep his balance.
The water flow squeezed the already scarce oxygen in his lungs, as if it was going to crush him alive.
The rope around the waist suddenly tightened, and the diving figure was forced to stop.
The 20-meter rope has reached its end.
Miss Miyano held the rope tightly and refused to let go no matter how Makoto Sakaki hinted.
Fortunately, Kidd took out the rope he brought with him and connected an extension line, so Sakaki Makoto was able to continue diving.
21 meters, 22 meters, 23 meters...
When he dived to about 25 meters, Sakaki Makoto's feet finally touched a hard object.
In the end.
There is still endless groundwater around, accompanied by some mud and sand...
There must be some mechanism.
Sakaki Makoto held onto the wall and began to walk around.
At the edge of the swimming pool, Miss Miyano noticed that the rope began to shift and hurriedly moved.
The swimming pool is not big and can be circled in just a dozen steps.
After walking about seven or eight steps...
Sakaki Makoto's hands that were holding onto the wall suddenly became empty, and a passage leading to the inside appeared.
“Mmm, Mmm, Mmm (Sure enough, there’s something else going on here)!”
Sakaki Makoto closed his eyes and swam along the passage at the bottom of the pool without hesitation...
But...
After swimming only 2 or 3 meters, the way ahead was blocked by rocks.
Dead end?
With a frown on his face, Sakaki Makoto looked up and found that the head was empty!
At this point, he had already sketched out a rough map of the area under the swimming pool in his mind.
This is a classic U-shaped entrance. The clocks, gold and underground water in the restaurant are just shields to cover the entrance.
It seems...
Karasuma Renya is indeed an overly cautious old man.
An ordinary person would only set up one barrier, but he set up three.
If Sakaki Makoto hadn't gotten the secret code, he would have been deceived.
Crash!
"call...."
Sakaki Makoto's head floated above the water. He looked around and found it was dark, so he took out his windproof lighter and lit it.
Using a lighter can not only check whether there is air around, but also provide lighting, killing two birds with one stone.
The flame floated up quietly, generously emitting its weak fluorescence.
This is a man-made cave built inside the mountain. It is surrounded by steep cliffs and protruding rocks. But when you reach the shore in front, the scene changes.
The empty cave is several hundred square meters in size, with a cement floor and smooth stones embedded in the walls. An old electric lamp from decades ago hangs on the ceiling, making it look like an air-raid shelter.
Climbing ashore, Makoto Sakaki wrung out his wet clothes, and walked forward with the help of the light of his lighter...
A brown-green iron gate more than ten meters high blocked the way. It was covered in rust and so damp that water dripped from it.
At this moment, the door was tightly closed and seemed to be extremely heavy. Makoto Sakaki could not push it open by himself.
unless...
Kyogoku is really here.
"There must be a mechanism that can open the door..."
Where there is a door, there is a lock. This is an eternal truth.
Sakaki Makoto didn't believe that the Karasuma family would build such a fortification under the Dusk Villa without even leaving a way to open the door.
As expected, there is a roller-type combination lock in the middle of the door.
The combination lock was covered in dust, but after so many years, it could still slide.
Mechanical combination locks like this have very sophisticated internal structures. Although there are only four digits, it is not easy to guess them.
"What's the password..."
Scratching his head, Sakaki Makoto had no idea at all.
He had never heard Gin mention a four-digit password.
"Karasuma Renya...crows...seven children..."
While mumbling to himself, Sakaki Makoto remembered the song that Miss Miyano sang. The beginning of the song was...
Isn't this exactly the button that his father, Ryunosuke Sakaki, used to send emails?!
Seven children...
"Why is Mother Crow crying..."
While humming softly, Sakaki Makoto imagined the sound of the phone's buttons in his mind.
0...8...58!
The numbers corresponding to the seven children are exactly 0858!
Try it!
Carefully slide the scroll wheel, and when the last number is entered...
Nothing happened.
"wrong?"
Sakaki Makoto looked around in surprise; the brown-green door was not opened.
“Mad!”
Boom!
He kicked the door angrily.
Click...
The door opened, the dust on it rustled and fell, and the old machinery began to mesh, slowly turning like the wheel of fortune.
The corner of Sakaki Makoto's mouth twitched, and he glanced at the soles of his feet...
He didn't believe that he had the talent for the Foshan Shadowless Kick.
