After letting himself slide down, the speed is much faster than before slowly climbing up.This passage is not very big. When they want to stop, they only need to support the walls on both sides with their hands and feet, and they can stop quickly.

This made the five people feel a lot more relaxed, and they also had a chance to rest, but their spirits were still tense.

This process lasted for about half an hour, and Xiao Yang at the bottom suddenly screamed: "Boss, Miss Lin, Mr. Bo, we seem to be in the end!"

Several people immediately controlled themselves to slow down and stop.

In order to ensure that there was time to react in the event of an accident, several people had kept a certain distance between them, and now it was working.

After stopping, Kate asked: "What's it like down there? Is there an exit?"

Lin Wu also looked down, but unfortunately Kate and Zhang Shan's bodies blocked her view, so she couldn't see anything.

There was a murmur of movement, and it sounded like Xiao Yang had found a more convenient position and was groping for something.

Zhang Shan urged him to speak quickly.

Xiao Yang hesitated and said: "There is an exit. It seems to be a trap door. There is a lock on the door, which is shaped like a toad. But I searched for a long time and couldn't see the keyhole."

"You didn't see the keyhole? What kind of lock is that? Why don't you just try to break it with a gun." Zhang Shan said directly.

Lin Wu and Bo Yuting, who were above, didn't see the lock and didn't know what was going on. They didn't say anything when they heard the words and acquiesced to this simplest and crudest method.

Xiao Yang thought so and found the gun.

Just when he was about to load the gun, Kate seemed to remember something and suddenly said: "Wait, you can't use the gun!"

"Ah? Why?" Xiao Yang asked doubtfully.

Kate thought thoughtfully and said: "You didn't see the keyhole, maybe because it is an ancient lock, and the keyhole is basically hidden. So, you come up, and I go down and take a look. I should be able to open it."

When Xiao Yang and Zhang Shan heard the words, they agreed, with Zhang Shan switching places with Kate first.

But it was not easy for the two grown men to move up and down in this narrow passage, and it took a lot of time to succeed.

Lin Wu watched their actions and said, "I remember that Mr. Kate has lived abroad since he was a child. I didn't expect that he knew about ancient locks?"

While switching with Xiao Yang, Kate was distracted and returned to Lin Wu's words: "It's just a personal hobby. Besides, if you know more when you are away from home, you won't be stretched when you encounter something that can be used in the future."

Bo Yuting, who was at the top, listened to these words and the movement and judged that Kate had already changed with Xiao Yang. He suddenly asked: "After reading it, Mr. Kate, are you sure it is an ancient lock?"

Kate looked at it carefully and didn't mind explaining to them: "It is indeed an ancient lock. This lock is very special. It is a three-open inverted lock mixed with two kinds of locks. To be specific, you need to turn the surface of the toad over in one circle first. The mechanism hidden in the toad's mouth unlocks the outer surface to reveal the three-layer core lock inside, and then unlocks this to completely open it."

"It's very complex and exquisitely made, and the shell is very hard. Bullets may not be able to break it, but they will definitely destroy the mechanism inside it. Then it really won't be able to be opened again, and we will be stuck here. "

Xiao Yang said in surprise: "It's such a troublesome lock... but there's nothing you can do to find the keyhole inside, right? We don't know where the key is."

"This kind of lock does not require a key. You only need to unlock the three-layer mechanical lock inside to open it." Kate replied.

Bo Yuting, who was above, suddenly said: "From what you said, this lock should be very small, right? Mr. Kate, can you see it clearly?"

Kate was concentrating on the inspection and replied without thinking: "It doesn't matter, I have a magnifying glass."

Hearing this, Bo Yuting stopped talking.

Lin Wu instantly understood the meaning of Bo Yuting's question, and she immediately said: "Why do you bring a magnifying glass when you come down to the mine? Aren't the equipment we use uniformly arranged? Mr. Kate specially prepared a magnifying glass for himself, and it was also for personal reasons. Hobby?"

Kate below paused.

After a moment, he continued to open the lock and explained patiently: "This time it's not because of personal hobbies." "Oh?"

"I am the person in charge of the mine. Sometimes I have to check the content and composition of the stone and follow the experiments. The magnifying glass is just a necessary tool."

After Kate finished speaking, Xiao Yang and Zhang Shan spoke next.

"Yes, yes, our boss has worked hard!"

"Back then, he was so busy every day that he had very little time to rest. He basically did all kinds of things and knew a lot."

Having said that, the two of them simply admired Kate.

Lin Wu and Bo Yuting only agreed and said nothing.

It can be seen that the ancient lock should be quite difficult to unlock. Kate spent a full 10 minutes. With a soft "click", he said in a relieved voice: "Okay, it's unlocked. You can go out now." ”

But before anyone else could say anything, his suddenly serious voice suddenly sounded again.

"Being able to use this kind of ancient lock means that the place you see when you go out is unusual and may be dangerous. Everyone, please be careful and don't take it lightly!"

Xiao Yang didn't take it seriously: "Boss, there are a lot of dangers ahead. No matter how dangerous it is, how dangerous can it be?"

"Yes, boss, please open it and get out quickly. I'm going to be suffocated in here and I urgently need to breathe!" Zhang Shan said.

Lin Wu heard Kate below sigh, took off the ancient lock and put it aside, then opened the small trap door.

However, he did not open it all at once. Instead, he opened a crack first and looked down with a flashlight.

After a few seconds, Kate said: "It seems to be a closed space down there. I haven't seen anything strange yet. But our position seems to be on the ceiling, at least three or four meters above the ground. In this way, I will make a fixed Click, let’s go down the rope.”

All four of them said hello.

Kate opened the trap door, took out the rope from her bag, and tied it to the trap door to use it as a fixture. He went down first and landed on the ground within a few seconds. After a while, he was reminded that he could start. Got off.

Xiao Yang and Zhang Shan followed closely behind.

Then there was Lin Wu.

When Lin Wu was about to go down, he was suddenly stopped by Bo Yuting.

She looked up, "What's wrong?"

Bo Yuting lowered his voice meaningfully and said, "Follow Kate closely and don't stay away from him. He should be the safest around you."

Lin Wu understood that there was something strange about Kate, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

He even brought a magnifying glass with him when he went to the mine, but they were not measuring stone quality. What was the use of bringing a magnifying glass?Unless he is sure it will be useful.

That is related to the real purpose of their group coming down.

"Miss Lin?" Kate called her from below, with worry in her voice: "Why don't you come down yet? What happened?"

"Go down here."

Lin Wu responded, pulled Bo Yuting down to reassure him, and then jumped off.
