Chapter 148: Secret Room
There was a sense of excitement in Lin Zhiqing's eyes.
Jiang Liuyun became even more anxious: "What on earth are you talking about?"
"Jiang Liuyun, you walked around this room. Have your clothes become darker?" Lin Zhiqing stared at Jiang Liuyun's black clothes.
Jiang Liuyun looked down and realized that what he said was true: "Clothes will definitely become darker if they are covered in dust."
Lu Huai smiled and said, "The same goes for this wall. Why is the middle wall darker?"
Jiang Liuyun still couldn't understand what they meant.
Lin Zhiqing continued, "There's more dust on this wall than on other places, so it's darker."
Hearing this, Jiang Liuyun reached out and wiped the wall.
Sure enough, a deep stain appeared on his finger.
In this dark room, no one would notice this tiny detail unless they looked at it a few more times.
"Qing'er, what can you see from here?" He looked up at the roof:
"Could it be that due to years of disrepair, the wood above has become loose, causing the dust to fly onto this wall?"
"The angle is wrong." Lu Huai shook his head, denying his statement: "Besides, if it is the above problem, the dust should be scattered everywhere, not concentrated in one place."
"Brother Lu, you know a lot." Jiang Liuyun couldn't help but speak, and if you listened carefully, you could hear that his tone was a bit sour.
However, Lin Zhiqing's attention was on the floor and he did not notice this.
Lu Huai has also been analyzing in his mind, and occasionally he would explain some knowledge points to Jiang Liuyun.
While they were talking, Lin Zhiqing squatted down.
The dust on the floor was quite thick, and it flew everywhere under the light.
She ignored the flying ashes, picked up a broken table leg with an expressionless face, and pushed the ashes under her feet aside.
Noticing her actions, Lu Huai and Jiang Liuyun also squatted down and pushed the dust away with their hands.
After the dust was almost cleared, a complete floor came into view.
Lin Zhiqing knocked on it, and a dull "dong dong dong" sound soon rang out.
This means that the floor is hollow inside.
Hearing this sound, Lu Huai curled his lips: "There really is a secret passage underneath!"
That’s right, it’s a secret passage.
Lin Zhiqing smiled slightly, she was not wrong.
This floor is the culprit that caused the wall to have a black spot and scratches.
If the floor could be lifted, then every time it was lifted, the surrounding dust would fly onto the wall.
Over time, the walls will turn black.
As for the scratches, Lin Zhiqing speculated that the wooden board was probably leaning against the wall when it was lifted.
This warehouse, like the study, is actually a decoy.
It’s just that the two sleight of hand are expressed in very different ways.
One is magnificent, the other is dilapidated.
The grand study is intended to make people think that important things are inside and walk into it.
Once you go in, you probably won’t be able to get out.
Of course, Lin Zhiqing and the other three were an accident.
As for the dilapidated warehouse, its purpose is probably to cover up some things and divert people's attention.
So... Lin Zhiqing guessed that there was a secret passage under the floor.
Looking at the floor, Lin Zhiqing's hand groped around his waist.
A small dagger soon appeared in her hand. She turned the dagger over and placed the blade against the gap in the floor.
No matter what Lin Zhiqing came up with, Lu Huai and Jiang Liuyun would no longer be surprised.
"Qing'er, this dagger is too sharp, let me do it." Jiang Liuyun took the initiative to speak.
Lin Zhiqing handed the dagger to him without hesitation.
Jiang Liuyun's attack was faster, more accurate and more ruthless than Lin Zhiqing's.
With a "creak", the floor really responded!
Lu Huai and Lin Zhiqing hurried forward.
After trying a few times, Jiang Liuyun finally found a fulcrum and exerted some strength.
The next second, a small crack appeared in front of the three people.
Seeing this, Lu Huai and Lin Zhiqing reached into the gap and helped Jiang Liuyun lift the wooden board.
The three of them gritted their teeth and worked together to lift the floor up.
A "crunching" sound was heard, followed by a cloud of dust being raised.
The dust that was raised was scattered all over the wall because the wooden boards leaned back.
Most of the dust fell into the corners and around the walls, but a small amount of dust adhered to the walls, forming the slightly darker area of the wall that Lin Zhiqing and the others saw.
And as the floor leaned back, Lin Zhiqing and Lu Huai pushed it against the wall.
After doing this many times, some scratches are bound to appear.
After everything was ready, Lin Zhiqing looked at the dark cave entrance in front of him and the stairs that extended downward to an unknown place. The first thing he did was to carefully feel the existence of psychological suggestion.
She concluded that there was none.
There's nothing particularly strange about smell and hearing, but what about vision?
While Lin Zhiqing was thinking, Jiang Liuyun looked inside:
"This secret passage is surprisingly hidden so deeply. If it weren't for Brother Lu and Qing'er's carefulness, I would have missed it recently. I definitely wouldn't have been able to see it."
"Liu Mang's layout is too concealed. It's normal that it can't be seen." Lu Huai walked around the entrance:
"This secret passage was probably rebuilt by Liu Mang. Be careful. I'll go down and take a look."
"Hey, wait a minute." Jiang Liuyun held Lu Huai back and said, "If we have to go down, I'll go first. I'm really worried about your health."
As he said that, he took the fire starter from Lin Zhiqing's hand, stepped onto the stairs first and walked down.
"Zhiqing, you keep watch up there. If anything happens, just shout." After Lu Huai said this, he was about to follow Jiang Liuyun's pace.
"Wait." Lin Zhiqing stopped Lu Huai and put the dagger back into her waist. "You keep watch up there. I want to go down and take a look."
Meeting her determined gaze, Lu Huai didn't say much.
With Jiang Liuyun here, it should be safe down there.
Thinking of this, he nodded.
Lin Zhiqing tentatively stepped onto the stairs, and seeing that there was no problem, he walked down quickly.
Fortunately, the distance of the stairs is not long, and there are no twists and turns, so you just need to go straight.
After she walked for a while, she saw Jiang Liuyun.
Jiang Liuyun seemed to have heard her footsteps and stopped not far ahead.
Lin Zhiqing sped up and soon caught up with Jiang Liuyun.
"The exit is just ahead. No matter what happens, just hide behind me." Jiang Liuyun whispered.
Lin Zhiqing nodded.
So the two of them walked forward a few steps, and their vision gradually became wider.
Soon, they reached the finish line.
It was a secret room.
Jiang Liuyun took a step carefully, but he didn't know what he saw, his body paused and he stood still.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiqing also took a step forward.
Then, her pupils shrank.
There was a person sitting in that secret room!
