Chapter 84
Dadong suddenly had a thought.
He cleared his mind and slowly calmed down. He thought that the explosion at that moment might have been a conditioned reaction to his fright.
After all, rabbits bite people when they are anxious.
Wenshi endured his impatience and waited for a while. Seeing that the black-skinned nanny was stunned, he couldn't wait any longer and walked away.
The moment he went out, the light in the study suddenly went out by itself, and a series of footsteps passed by him.
It was like a child wearing black leather shoes and running deep into the corridor. This time, he heard Dadong's laughter. It circled gently in the corridor and disappeared.
The design of this bungalow from the early Republic of China is very depressing. The corridor is in a square shape, and the top view should look like the word "hui". There is a circle of rooms on the outside and stairs inside.
This study is tucked into the corner. There is a road to the left, and another road to the right, long and deep.
Wen Shi had seen a similar house before, and at that time he felt that the person who designed it must have a grudge against the owner. After all, the layout was perfect for being haunted.
He couldn't find the corridor light, so he could only use the little light coming from the stairwell to move forward.
After taking a few steps, he felt a figure at the end of the corridor, standing there looking at them.
"My day!" Dadong suddenly shouted from behind, and immediately suppressed his voice.
"What's your name?" Wenshi asked in a low voice.
"On the right! Look at the right." Dadong's voice was tight, trying to hide his fear.
When they heard this, they turned around and saw two people standing beside them. Also silently, just looking at them motionless.
My pupils shrank when I heard it.
His fingers wrapped with thread had already been raised, and then quickly put down - because he saw the figure beside him also raising his hand.
It wasn't a ghost that suddenly appeared, it was a mirror.
Dadong also discovered this, and his panic immediately turned into curses: "Fuck, you are stupid! Put a mirror in here."
In fact, more than one side, the entire wall is mirrored, cut into narrow vertical strips by a carved wooden frame like a wardrobe, becoming a complicated and gorgeous decoration.
When people walk past here, their shadows appear in the mirror.
When Wenshi looked up at the end of the corridor again, he realized that there was a mirror on the wall there, and the figure standing upright might be himself.
"I should have kept a candle in my hand." Dadong cursed for a while and said angrily, "A walkie-talkie will do too."
"Find someone first." Wenshi ignored the shadows and walked forward.
"Oh." Dadong asked, "Have you ever played with this thing?"
"What?"
"The secret room."
"No."
How could a person who passed away in 1995 have ever played with such a thing, but many of the cages he had entered were similar to this one. So he didn't feel uncomfortable.
Dadong couldn't stop talking. When he met Wen Shi, who didn't like to talk, he could only say to himself: "The combination of the cage and the secret room is probably quite unreasonable. Didn't the broadcast just now say that we need a housekeeper and a nanny... ...If the two of us have to find everyone else, it’s very likely that other people’s rooms can’t be opened from the inside, and there may not even be door handles or keyholes.”
Sure enough, his words were quickly confirmed.
Wenshi walked through a section of mirrored wall and finally saw a room door. He touched it, but couldn't find the door handle or keyhole. The entire door was like a wooden block, tightly embedded in the wall.
"Look, what am I talking about?" Dadong said proudly, "But this design is too disgusting. How could you have such a door?"
When he heard it, he said: "It was popular for a while."
There is a bathroom hidden in the closet, and the wall is actually a door or something.
"When?" Dadong asked subconsciously.
He didn't answer when he heard it, but knocked on the door.
Dadong later realized that he was probably talking about the early years of the Republic of China. After all, it was the background timeline of the Chamber of Secrets. But...how could he know what happened at that time?
From the book?
Dadong was just wondering when he heard a pinging sound in the door. Someone might have been startled and knocked something over.
After a moment, a hoarse voice sounded from behind the door: "Who?!"
When Dadong heard this, he immediately shouted: "Zhou Xu? Is that you Zhou Xu?"
"Dadong?" Zhou Xu immediately came to life and shouted from inside: "You came out? How did you come out?! My door doesn't even have a handle, damn! I searched for a long time for the fucking wire and couldn't find it. Local poke.”
"Wait, I'll open the door for you." Dadong moved his fingers and subconsciously drilled the keyhole. The puppet thread was thrown out, and I realized that it was not locked.
He temporarily changed the path and let the white threads go in along the cracks on the four sides of the door, just like in the study just now, blocking the entire door.
He hooked his ring finger and pulled harder——
The door didn't move at all.
Dadong: "..."
"I see your line." Zhou Xu shouted in the room, "But there are iron wedges on all sides of the door. I just counted, there are seventeen or eight. Can you really pull it open???"
This chuunibyou can't do anything else, and his words really attract hatred.
Dadong gritted his teeth: "...Yes."
"Then you have to use some force, the wall may collapse." Zhou Xu added.
Dadong gritted his teeth again: "Okay."
