The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 417: secret room

Behind him, the door made of mirrors closed.

Old light bulbs cast a dim light.

There was an old smell in the dull room.

There is a soft red carpet on the ground, but the red carpet seems to have absorbed the moisture in the air. Every step you take, you can feel the water being squeezed out by the soles of your shoes.

Standing in the center of the room and looking around, Sean felt an indescribably weird feeling...

The upper and lower rows of windows are in a neat semicircle, but the glass of each window seems to have undergone special treatment, turning it into an opaque foggy white.

Sean raised his feet and looked at the wet soles.

The moisture stored in the red carpet has a strange stench.

In front, the curved symmetrical staircase extends to the upper floor along the moldy and peeling wallpaper...

"It feels..." Sean frowned under the mask, "It feels like entering a closed cave..."

"What's the matter, Sean?" Sensitive Moonlight looked nervously at the captain who was looking up and thinking.

Xiao En came back to his senses, and in order to reassure the team members, he shook his head slightly: "It's nothing, it's just some meaningless associations.

"Next, we have to find the existence named Joker in this haunted house, and then solve him..."

Unlike before in the market area where points were obtained separately, Sean believes that in this dangerous environment, it is safest for the entire team to act together.

This proposal was obviously warmly welcomed by Moonlight, and the pianist nodded heavily: "That's right! Let the four of us go together!"

In the team, there is the resourceful and reliable Sean.

Father Taro, who is very strong and is an exorcist himself.

And the exceptionally agile and calm Olivia...

"Plus me," Yue Guang clenched his fists, "I can already play "The Darkest"..."

Although once again in a dangerous situation, Moonlight became full of confidence: "Guys—I think there is no problem that we can't solve if we are together!"

Just now I was frightened into a cold sweat, but now I am radiant again...

Xiao En shook his head and smiled wryly. The state of his partner was as unpredictable as the clouds in the sky.

If you are not already familiar with his eccentric and changeable personality, you might think that the pianist is a little crazy.

After checking the room and making sure there was nothing special, Sean pushed open the door under the symmetrical staircase.

A deep corridor stretches forward, and dim light bulbs extend to the end of the corridor.

Before walking into the corridor, Taro glanced back at the direction of the entrance...

For no reason, he felt that there seemed to be movement outside.

The dead with their hearts gouged out come out again?

The priest who had a bad feeling was the last one to walk into the corridor. In order to increase his sense of security, he turned around and closed the door behind him.

A group of people walked forward for a while. Strangely, they found that although the door was closed, the corridor was not quiet.

Sean, who was walking in the front, turned his ear and said, "Did you hear any sound?"

Moonlight, who has the most sensitive hearing, uses one hand as the pinna, closes her eyes and listens carefully...

call…

call…

call…

"It's like the sound of the wind..." He opened his eyes and said with certainty.

The pianist went to the wall and put his thin hand on the musty wallpaper - the wood paneled walls on either side were shabby.

"The sound seems to be coming from behind this wall."

Sean also put his hand on the wall, and a small amount of psychic matter seeped through, carefully inspecting it...

After a moment, his face quickly turned to his teammates: "There is nothing behind this wall!"

Several people looked at each other—

Discovered the secret room so quickly?

Their purpose is to find the clown. Maybe the clown is in the secret room?

"Guys..." Sean motioned for several people to step back, "I'm going to open this wall to have a look."

After the three of them stood at a certain distance, Xiao En used spiritual matter to form a protective layer in front of him, and then activated the power of the "Immortal God King" to open the wooden paneled wall layer by layer...

First the panels are folded in order, revealing the mottled brick wall behind. Then, the heads turned and retreated in an orderly manner, forming a hole...

During this process, Sean shrugged his nose: he found that there was a layer of greasy liquid under the brick wall, with a disturbing smell, dripping like an oil leaking pipe.

A musty wind blew out of the cave, making a whimpering sound, as if someone was crying in the cave.

"There really is a secret room!" Sean was a little excited, Lingzhi grabbed two flashlights and stretched them into the black hole...

The light swung left and right, and saw no danger.

To be on the safe side, Sean lit his own lighter and stuck it in, and then stepped into the secret room first...

A group of people entered one after another, and the sound of their footsteps reverberated without echoes before.

"It's very empty here?" The echo triggered by the question directly answered Moonlight's question.

The slate floor makes the footsteps crisp.

In the room, which was as empty as an auditorium, there was nothing, and no utensils were placed.

It's like a church dug in a cave.

While dispelling the darkness, while walking forward, Xiao En suddenly discovered a strange place——

He squatted down and shone the flashlight on the ground.

He saw that there were strange lines on the stone slabs on the ground...

The touch of those lines is particularly obvious when touched by hand.

The shallow ravines are densely packed, as if they have been repeatedly scraped by a thin plow, and these "lines" all extend into the darkness ahead.

"How did this come about?"

When Xiao En lightly touched the ground, Moonlight suddenly felt a tickle on the back of his neck, as if strands of hair had blown into his collar, and when he fiddled with it, he felt the spider silk like cotton wool...

"It's windy." Moonlight turned her head and looked at the distant lights at the entrance.

"It should be the wind that I heard through the wall just now."

Sean stood up, frowning suspiciously: the air circulation can't leave such marks on the floor tiles...

There might be some unknown danger hidden in this room.

Thinking of this, Sean laughed a little self-deprecatingly: Since stepping into "Midnight Paradise", where is it not "unknown danger"?

Ever since you entered the mystery exploration industry, when have you not faced "unknown danger"?

This is what we do...

The Joker must be found. Sean stood up and walked forward cautiously.

Soon, the light from the flashlight and lighter in front could no longer reach the edge.

The ground is gone. In the depths of this empty hall, there is an abyss.

"Is this a natural cave?" Father Taylor walked to Xiao En's side, only about two meters away from the edge of the abyss.

Sean tore a page from his notebook, ignited it with a flame, and threw it into the abyss—he wanted to see the vertical depth.

The burning paper kept falling until it became a bright yellow dot, until it went out, and it didn't reach the bottom of the abyss...

This way does not work.

Sean turned around regretfully: "It seems that there is nothing here.

"Let's go back to the corridor~lightnovelpub.net~ As soon as the words fell, the group of people suddenly heard a violent voice.

It was like a thunderstorm, like a gate was opened, and the tide suddenly came!

Before Sean realized what was happening, the shock came.

The originally gentle and gentle wind suddenly became violent, and the reverberating storm rushed over like a runaway train, hitting Xiao En and his party!

this wind...

Let us fall into the abyss!

Sean suddenly looked in the direction of Olivia Windchime—

Olivia has the lightest weight!

In an instant, the girl's surprised expression remained in front of Xiao En's eyes, her red eyes suddenly disappeared, and her slender body was blown into the darkness by the wind...
