"This wire got caught on when I was unlocking the door, and I can't get it out."
Seeing the confusion in Chi Yuan's eyes, Xue Man explained somewhat embarrassedly.
Chi Yuan grabbed the wire and twisted it for about half a minute.
With a "click," the door opened.
Chi Yuan turned around and gave Shen Yulou a look, and Shen Yulou immediately understood and nodded.
Gu Yang patted Xue Man on the shoulder, his face full of "I gave you a chance but you didn't do it" expression, which made Xue Man so angry that he was furious.
But this time it was indeed his own mistake, and he couldn't refute it.
They followed Chi Yuan into the storeroom, with Shen Yulou at the very back, leaving the door slightly ajar.
Five people
The flashlights inside were turned on at the same time, and four bright beams of light illuminated the entire storage room.
The walls of the storage room were covered with mottled bloodstains and strange symbols.
The dim lighting flickered, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
Dilapidated tables and chairs were piled up haphazardly on the ground, with rickety stools and tables teetering on the verge of collapse.
"Let's split up and search."
Shen Yulou and Chi Yuan began searching the abandoned lectern in the corner.
Beneath the abandoned lectern lay layers upon layers of dilapidated wooden planks, broken chalk, and dusty teaching aids.
The planks were piled up unevenly, some of them rotten, and fine wood chips fell off at the slightest touch.
In the light, the shadows of these wooden planks intertwine, forming a natural barrier that isolates this corner from the outside world.
Chi Yuan handed Shen Yulou a flashlight, and Shen Yulou reached inside with both hands to try and take out the wooden board.
With a "thud," an ink bottle was knocked over, and the pitch-black ink flowed out rapidly.
The wood and Shen Yulou's palm were stained black.
Shen Yulou quickly cleared the wooden planks out, his hands covered in dust.
In the corner, there were some ink bottles that had long since dried up, and the labels on the bottles were blurred.
In the hazy, dusty atmosphere, you can occasionally see a few small insects crawling frantically through the dust.
In the deepest corner, there were some strange scratches on the iron surface of the podium, as if it had been forcefully scratched by some sharp object.
The scratches seemed to faintly reveal a dark red glow, sending chills down one's spine.
There are some bulges on the sheet metal; I wonder if it's due to thermal expansion and contraction.
Don't touch it.
Chi Yuan grabbed Shen Yulou's hand, which was about to touch the marks, and then reached in and gently tore open the sheet metal.
A purple fragment slowly emerged, and facing Chi Yuan's flashlight, the pupil pattern within the fragment seemed to rotate several times as if it were aware of its surroundings.
"Come here quickly, look what Xue Man and I found!"
The group was immediately drawn to Manwen's voice, and Chi Yuan walked over, clutching the shard in his hand.
"It's just a music box, isn't it?"
Its shape is extremely irregular.
The wooden shell has a deep color and is covered with unique patterns.
The lid of the music box was half open, and inside was a little ballerina spinning in the center.
It was surrounded by several oddly shaped depressions.
As Chi Yuan approached, the music box trembled slightly, emitting a faint, almost imperceptible attraction.
The fragments in everyone's hands began to stir with anticipation.
"Is this... a device that can hold fragments?"
"Wait a minute, don't rush to put the fragments in."
"Take this music box away first."
Hearing Chi Yuan's reminder, everyone instantly snapped out of their daze.
Who knows what will happen if you put the fragments into the music box?
Gu Yang picked up the music box, and the group continued to search the room carefully.
After making sure they had searched every nook and cranny, the group quietly left.
...
Do you think there's anything strange about that music box?
Shen Yulou handed the bottle of prepared milk to Chi Yuan, so that he could feed the baby.
"It can summon the consciousness of the dungeon and start the final exam of Biye ahead of time."
The little one sucked and sucked, finally managing to get the pacifier into his mouth.
