Chapter 329 Xu Wanning’s Discovery

“The task we received was to investigate the truth about the plague in Dingbai Village more than ten years ago. The organization found that the plague was not a natural disaster, but man-made. And there were dozens of villagers in Dingbai Village I rarely go out during the year and live almost isolated from the world. This is not normal, so we need to investigate the truth."

"It's just that the villagers in Dingbai Village seem to be a group of old men in their fifties and sixties. Madam, but their fighting power is very strong. There are only seven people in our team including me. Even with the equipped wooden warehouse, it is difficult to defeat them, so that even the communication signal has been interrupted." "

We have been interrupted for the past few days . I have been groping around, but haven’t found anything yet. “

I don’t know if there is something behind this cave that the organization wants.

"Wait a minute -" Xu Wanning looked at Lin An, "You mean, the villagers in Dingbai Village are a group of old men and women in their fifties and sixties? Do you have any basis for your age judgment?" "

Yes. We are investigating. At that time, I accidentally saw the identity certificates of several of them. They were all born in the 1920s, which was more than fifty years ago. The identity certificates were stamped by the government at that time, and they couldn't be fake. "

Actually, according to Haitang. Judging from the age, it is very likely that her grandfather is about sixty years old.

But Haitang's grandfather now has white hair and looks to be in his sixties or seventies, much older than his actual age. Haitang's grandfather is also one of the oldest among the villagers in Dingbai Village, and he is highly respected.

But this is somewhat inconsistent with the information Xu Wanning received.

"When I came out of the train station, I took a rickshaw. The driver of the rickshaw told me that a plague more than ten years ago took away the lives of the strong laborers, children and women in Dingbai Village, leaving only Some are old, weak, sick and disabled. If you want to put it that way, these people are not of the right age."

Xu Wanning's words made Lin An silent for a while.

"So, something is indeed wrong. I think it has something to do with what the organization wants us to investigate. I still have to go in and take a look first. Aning..."

"I know what you want to say, and I want to go with you. ." Xu Wanning grabbed Lin An's wrist tightly. In order to prevent herself from being dropped by him, she also took an automatic binding rope from the space and tied their hands tightly together. "That's fine, if it's true. If you encounter danger, I can take you to my secret base to avoid danger."

Lin An was blocked when he wanted to refuse.

Yes, Aning has the means to save her life. She can go to her secret base when necessary, and her life safety will not be affected.

With this thought, Lin An took Xu Wanning forward.

It's not that he really wants to take Xu Wanning on an adventure, it's because he knows Xu Wanning. She seems gentle and easy to talk to, but in fact she is very stubborn at heart, and the decisions she makes will not be changed easily.

Passing over the sleeping tiger Er Gouzi, Lin An held Xu Wanning's hand tightly and walked forward step by step.

The further you go inside, the darker it gets, and the sky is now completely dark, almost to the point where you can't even see.

Xu Wanning didn't dare to take out a strong flashlight rashly. There was darkness everywhere. If there was any light here, it would be easy to be discovered.

What's more, according to the Hai family brothers, this is a very important place for the villagers of Dingbai Village, so they have to be even more careful.

Therefore, Xu Wanning took a small pathfinder light from the space and put it on Lin An's head. It could illuminate the road five steps ahead without attracting anyone's attention.

"Look, the surrounding area of ​​this cave is actually relatively bumpy. It looks like it was dug out bit by bit by manpower with tools. Compared with the naturally formed cave, it will be smoother."

"Indeed." Lin An raised his hand. I knocked it on the stone wall and found it was solid.

"You can tell from the echo of our conversation that this cave doesn't look big, but it's actually quite different."

Lin An used his other hand to take off the pathfinder light above his head, wanting to see the surrounding environment, but the pathfinder light could reach The area is too small. If we continue to explore inch by inch like this, we may not be able to find the entrance until dawn.

Helpless, Xu Wanning had no choice but to take out the flashlight.

As soon as the flashlight was turned on, the field of view instantly broadened.

Lin An looked around as fast as he could, and after confirming the location of the entrance, he returned the flashlight to Xu Wanning, "Put it away quickly. Let's go in quickly, otherwise I'm afraid someone will come in later."

" Okay."

Lin An held Xu Wanning's hand tightly and headed towards the entrance he just discovered.

After walking for about a minute, Lin An heard the echo of footsteps.

Then shine the pathfinder light forward, it is indeed the entrance.

"You must hold on to me tightly later. If you are scared, close your eyes. I will protect you."

"Okay."

The two of them walked along the entrance.

The entrance is very narrow and can only accommodate one person walking sideways.

Xu Wanning counted silently in her heart. After counting about twenty-two steps, they stood on a platform.

Because it was all the way down, Xu Wanning took out the flashlight after making sure that using a strong flashlight in this place would not be noticed by outsiders.

Lin An held up a flashlight to illuminate the surrounding area.

They saw a door.

A closed door.

There is also a totem on the door that looks familiar to both of them.

"We picked up a black bead bracelet the day before yesterday. The totem carved on one of the beads is somewhat similar to this one. It's a pity that the bracelet was accidentally destroyed when fighting the villagers." "

Okay . Coincidentally, I have the same bracelet."

Xu Wanning took out the bracelet Haitang gave her on the train yesterday.

"The totems are indeed exactly the same, but we can't open this door."

Xu Wanning played with the bracelet in her hand and looked around, "Lin An, are you looking for any mechanism? This bracelet should be from Dingbai Village. All the villagers have it, I think the mechanism may have something to do with the bracelet or this totem."

When Xu Wanning secretly observed Haitang, she saw the same bracelets on the wrists of the Hai family brothers, and based on Lin An's words, she thought it should be. Every villager in Dingbai Village has one.

No matter how bad it is, everyone has something from the younger generation.

Lin An asked Xu Wanning to hold a flashlight with her hand, while he slowly rubbed the stone door. Finally, he found a groove on a pillar next to the stone door.

The groove is a circle, but if you look closely, you can see that it is not a continuous circle, but rather a combination of small circles.
