Chapter 283 Ruins
Daniel also noticed something was wrong and said anxiously, "Brother, you have no rope? Tie it up quickly, the three of us will tie it together!"
Ye Lin smiled lightly and said casually: "The rope can't bear the weight of the three of us. You go down first. There is a secret passage in my room. Hurry up and don't delay me from returning to the room."
Daniel retorted, “Brother, where is the secret passage in your room?”
"You in the study don't know either, right? There are so many things you don't know. Stop talking nonsense and get ready to leave!" Ye Lin lowered his head and pretended to help them adjust the safety ropes, not letting the two of them notice that he was in a bad mood.
"But Master..." Ah Hui always felt that something was wrong.
Ye Lin deliberately frowned, hiding the reluctance in his eyes, and scolded sternly: "No buts! You are delaying my retreat time, shut up!"
Ah Hui didn't dare to speak anymore.
After checking the ropes for them again, Ye Lin was still worried and quickly instructed, "This tunnel is very deep, about forty meters deep. It won't be affected by the explosion. There is only one road underneath, leading to the back mountain. You can just follow it."
"But if the rope breaks midway and you fall and get injured, or if someone... dies, the rest of you must fight to survive."
"No one outside knows about the existence of this tunnel, so no one will come to rescue you. Crawl, you have to crawl out! Remember that!"
Daniel felt that he had a backer because Ye Lin was by his side, so he didn't realize how terrifying the bomb was. It was not until he was about to separate from Ye Lin that he completely panicked.
He stretched out his hand from Ah Hui's back and tried to grab Ye Lin.
But Ye Lin, who usually loved him the most, was merciless this time and dodged his hand.
Unable to touch Ye Lin no matter what he did, looking at his empty palms, Daniel was really scared this time, crying out in panic: "Brother, come with us, don't go back to the room, let's go together, if we fall, we will die together, I don't want to go with Brother Hui! I want to go with you!"
"Master, how about you carry Master Daniel on your back while I go through the secret passage to your room." Ah Hui was worried about leaving like this. He would not feel at ease unless he saw the master leave with his own eyes.
Ye Lin ignored everyone's words and looked down at his watch.
There are only forty-five seconds left until the explosion.
Taking one last look at the two of them, Ye Lin suppressed the hoarseness in his throat and pulled the corners of his mouth. His dark eyes seemed to contain endless instructions.
But what I finally said was only a short sentence.
"You... live well, goodbye."
"few……"
Before Ah Hui could say anything, Ye Lin suddenly reached out and pushed him and Daniel into the tunnel.
The world spun around, and when I opened my eyes again, I was already at the bottom of a dark secret passage. Waves of excruciating pain shot through my legs.
Ah Hui's first reaction was that the young master was right. The broken rope broke halfway. Fortunately, it broke when it was almost at the bottom, otherwise he would have fallen to his death today.
Ye Lin squatted at the entrance of the tunnel, watching them disappear into the darkness with a calm face. He slowly stood up when he could no longer see or hear anything.
There was no secret passage in his room, and he deceived Ah Hui and Daniel.
However, there are other secret passages in the castle, but they are all stairs, narrow and steep, so it would be faster to run directly outside.
The decelerator in the secret passage of the study is a disposable item and cannot be used a second time. It was designed with only one person's escape in mind. Carrying two people is already the limit of the decelerator, and three people will definitely die.
From the moment Ah Hui appeared, Ye Lin knew that today was his doom.
But he didn't blame Ah Hui. Since Ah Hui was willing to risk his life to come to him, he was willing to give up his life.
There's nothing to complain about.
There are only thirty-nine seconds left until the explosion.
Ye Lin strolled leisurely in the garden and slowly sat down on the sofa in the study, thinking in his mind what posture he should take to enter the coffin.
Adhering to the good habit of never sitting when lying down, Young Master Ye only needed to think for less than a second before he figured out his posture for entering the coffin and his goals for the next life.
He was too lazy to take off his shoes. He was going to die anyway, so why bother with manners? With a somersault, he bounced backwards and lay flat on the sofa, as flat as a ruler.
Ye Lin had made up his mind that he would lie flat when he entered the coffin, hoping to continue being a lying-flat young master in his next life.
Before a person dies, his brain is stimulated and he will unconsciously recall the past.
Even though Ye Lin has calmly accepted his impending death, the fear deep in his heart still exists. People cannot deceive their own consciences. Who would not be afraid of death?
During the few seconds he lay on the sofa with his eyes closed, Ye Lin recalled many memories that had been forgotten in the corner.
Irene and Rebecca still look like they were young, and he and Daniel are two little kids.
Children of four or five years old are at the age that even cats and dogs dislike. Every day, the two of them would climb up the roof to remove tiles and dig dog holes. After playing all day, their clothes were so dirty that they were unbearable to look at. Rebecca would take a detour when she saw them, for fear that they would dirty her skirt.
Dog hole?
The castle has stone walls, so how could he and Daniel have dug a dog hole when they were kids?
Ye Lin suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyeballs moved around quickly, as if he suddenly thought of something important.
The next second, Ye Lin had already rushed out of the study and headed straight to the southwest side of the second floor. His long legs almost left a shadow.
He remembered something.
Most of the southwest side of the castle is made of earth and sand. When the Fairburn family first started building the house, they didn't have much money and could only afford to use earth and sand to build the house.
Later, as they were building the house, they went out to rob and made a lot of money. Of course, they had to use stone bricks to build a castle.
The owner of the house at that time felt that the earthen fort built before represented the history of the rise of the Fairburn family, so he did not demolish and rebuild it. He only expanded the scale of the castle on the basis of the earthen fort and later built it with stone.
When Ye Lin and Daniel were young, they dug a dog hole on the southwest side.
Being buried under a pile of earth is much better than being buried under tons of rocks. Maybe he is not destined to die.
When Ye Lin was still forty meters away from entering the earthen fort,
The countdown to the explosion begins.
Eight seconds, thirty meters
Five seconds, fifteen meters
Two seconds, zero meters,
In the last two seconds before the explosion, Ye Lin rushed into the earthen bunker on time. Then, with a loud bang, he lost consciousness and fell into the ruins.
This behemoth that had stood on the top of the mountain for hundreds of years was instantly reduced to nothing in a deafening explosion, leaving only a pile of broken walls and ruins, silently telling of its former glory.
"My mother! My mother! My nephew! Help!"
Zhao Zhaodi was knocked to the ground by the sound waves of the castle explosion.
When the smoke cleared, she saw a desolate ruin in front of her. She immediately fell to the ground and wailed. She propped herself up and tried to stand up to dig people out, but she couldn't stand up.
Xavier seemed to have lost his soul from the moment the explosion began, and kept muttering "no". After the explosion, he took advantage of the bodyguards' distraction and broke free from the three bodyguards and rushed into the ruins alone.
Butler Owen got up from the ground with trembling legs, looking at the ruins that looked like a small mountain in front of him, and almost fainted again. The eldest and second young masters had not come out yet.
It's over, all of them are finished today, Lady Rebecca will definitely kill them!
Swallowing the blood in his mouth, Owen slowly turned his body to the side, looking at the others with empty eyes, and asked questioningly: "What are you doing? Saving people?"
Everyone was still immersed in the aftermath of the explosion, and no one answered Owen.
Owen took a deep breath and stumbled forward a few steps. His facial features were tightly wrinkled due to the exertion. He faced the crowd and roared again at the top of his lungs, "I say! What are you all standing there for! Go save them! Quickly!"
At Owen's roar, everyone finally woke up from their dream, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. Some people started digging directly, some went to find shovels, and some drove a small excavator from the garden over.
