Chapter 22 Tunnels
As the faint firelight approached, the mottled marks on the mural gradually became clear.

Tian Li observed for a moment, "Probably not."

She stretched out her hand and gently touched the mural until she touched the entire mural over and over again without feeling any difference in touch.

Isn't it in this painting?
Tian Li tried to take down the mural, but it didn't move even with all her strength. She looked to Lin Yanxue beside her for help, "Can you take it down?"

Lin Yanxue handed the lamp to Tian Li and also tried to take down the mural.

Shaking to no avail.

He doubted: "This painting seems to have been nailed to it."

There are no mechanisms on the edges of the four corners behind the mural.

Could it be that she really guessed wrong?
Tian Li began to doubt herself.

She stared closely at the girl on the mural. Cinderella in the painting was wearing a light blue dress and had a warm and moving smile. The girl's eyes were fixed in front of her from beginning to end.

Tian Li turned her head and looked along the line of sight of the girl on the mural.

Opposite the line of sight is an ordinary wall, which doesn't look strange.

Tian Li walked over by mistake, even though it was pitch dark ahead and she couldn't see clearly.Without paying attention, she suddenly tripped over some unnecessary debris. Her center of gravity shifted and she fell hard to the ground.

"Are you okay?" Lin Yanxue quickly stepped forward to help her up.

"What do you want to do, I will help you."

Tian Li pointed to the opposite wall: "Go and touch the opposite wall, especially the area where Cinderella's gaze is on the mural."

Lin Yanxue wanted to give the lamp to Tian Li, but she shook her head.

"Go, I'll wait for you here."

With every move, Lin Yanxue had touched the wall all over, and Tian Li looked at his back nervously; but the longer time passed, the more disappointed she felt.

Maybe her reasoning was wrong from the beginning.Suddenly, Lin Yanxue's men stopped, and he turned to look at Tian Li. Tian Li met his gaze and asked, "No?"

"No."

Lin Yanxue turned his eyes back again. He touched something with his right hand. Then he pressed his finger hard and heard a crisp "click" sound.

Suddenly there was the sound of objects moving in the quiet room.

A dark hole appeared under the mahogany cabinet next to it. The hole was about the size of two people.

Tian Li and Lin Yanxue looked at each other, their eyes unspoken, and then walked towards the hole under the wooden cabinet.

Lin Yanxue used a portable lamp to shine some light below the entrance of the cave.It can be seen that there is not a vacuum below, but a long staircase going down.

"Is this the secret room that Cinderella mentioned?" Tian Li glanced at him, as if waiting for the other party to make up his mind.

Lin Yanxue didn't answer for a while, after all, Cinderella only revealed a few words of information to him.

During the hesitation, a voice suddenly came from their ears.

[Congratulations to the player for opening the side plot - the secret room of the castle, the deduction progress will be +5%]

With the timely reminder from the system, the two entered the cave entrance one after the other.

The stairwell is steep and winding, and there is no end in sight.They were cautious and walked very slowly, fearing that they would fall if they missed the mark.

After walking for about a while, Tian Li felt that they should have reached a very deep place; when the stairs came to the end, there was a long tunnel in front of them.

Surprisingly, there were candlesticks placed on the walls on both sides. The candles were burning and the light filled the tunnel, as if to welcome their arrival.

Although all the phenomena are very strange, having come this far, it is obviously impossible to go back.

While walking, Tian Li found some patterns carved on the walls on both sides. She decisively slowed down and observed them carefully.
