Chapter 23
Looking to both sides, the patterns carved on the walls are very similar to the weird style of Cthulhu.

In the murals, they are either human or animal, or half-human and half-animal. Some of them have half of the human body sewn together with the depiction of beasts, and their shapes are extremely weird and terrifying.

Unconsciously, Tian Li stared at a mural in trance.

There is a person making twisting movements on it.The man's mouth was wide open and his expression was ferocious. His arms were raised high and his legs were folded together. What was even weirder was that there was a large spider with a human face painted on his head.

The spider clung to the man's head. It didn't look like a parasite, but rather like it had broken out of its shell.

Tian Li's subconscious told her to stop looking and leave quickly.But she suddenly felt as if her legs were filled with lead, unable to move; the patterns in the mural were more profound in her eyes, as if they had souls and could suck people in.

"Come on, come on -"

An ethereal voice called in my ears.

"Come on, come in quickly——"

"Come in quickly——"

Tian Li's eyes were distracted, her consciousness gradually blurred, and she walked forward uncontrollably as if she had been bewitched.

"Don't look it in the eyes!"

A cold shout sounded from behind, and Lin Yanxue grabbed Tian Li's forearm and pulled her to her side.

Tian Li took two steps back due to the inertia and suddenly woke up.Looking at the mural in front of me again, I felt a sense of horror in my heart.

How could she be staring at something so terrifying?And it seemed like something on the mural was calling to her.

Lin Yanxue also realized something was wrong, and stood in front of Tian Li: "Let's go first."

Tian Li came back to her senses and stopped looking to both sides. She stabilized her mind and walked forward with her head lowered.

While walking, the ethereal voice sounded again in my ears. "Come on, come here quickly——"

"The mural is beautiful, come and see it, come and see it——"

"."

What a beautiful big-headed ghost!

Tian Li turned a deaf ear.

It wasn't until they passed through the tunnel that the sound in my ears disappeared.

At this time, her back was soaked with cold sweat.That human-faced spider has been stuck in my mind for a long time.

She twisted her thigh hard, and the pain made her feel a little more awake.

When she came back to her senses, she looked at Lin Yanxue gratefully, and at the same time, she did not forget to pull back her forearm.

"Thank you for helping me just now."

"You're welcome. We are all teammates and we should help each other."

Lin Yanxue was afraid that she would be affected by what just happened, so she asked with concern: "Do you feel any discomfort?"

"It's okay." Tian Li said truthfully.

"If you don't think about it, it'll be fine."

The corner at the end was blocked off by a thick iron door.This door is made of metal and looks very strong. It is also engraved with a very beautiful rose pattern and painted with a layer of gold paint.

Tian Li stretched out her hand to pull the door, but did not pull it.

Lin Yanxue pushed out and the door opened.

She retracted her hand stiffly: "I'm sorry."

Before Tian Li could react, Lin Yanxue quickly squeezed her fingertips and then immediately let go. "Your hands are cold."

Tian Li didn't care about Lin Yanxue's presumptuous actions, or she didn't remember what the other party did.Her face was as pale as paper and her eyes were evasive, "Maybe she's too nervous."

The view behind the door becomes wider.Under the bright lights, huge black wooden cabinets were placed around it.It is in the shape of a staircase, with about eight or nine floors in total, and each floor has its own steps.

This long cabinet is about 30 meters high, and its arc-shaped distribution forms a semicircle around it.A golden crystal chandelier hangs overhead, and directly opposite the door, there is a narrow path. This gap divides the lower three floors of the long cabinets on both sides into two.

Starting to explore along the first floor, there are various ornaments placed on the cabinets. The carvings are exquisite and lifelike. In this medieval era, they should be considered very expensive objects.

Lin Yanxue carefully searched for the items placed on each cabinet, trying to find the pair of "Cinderella's crystal slippers" she wanted.

Tian Li observed the gap that separated the long cabinets on both sides.She tried to walk in. It was a little crowded on both sides, but not difficult.

This gap can only accommodate one person, and even a slightly fatter person may not be able to pass through.

The light under the crystal chandelier is not comparable to that of a thin candle.Under the orange light, the entire secret room was illuminated very brightly.

She turned around and looked for Lin Yanxue's figure.At this time, the other party had already reached the third floor; Tian Li also gave up the idea of ​​letting the other party come and see this gap.

At the moment, she still needs to find the glass slipper as soon as possible, and she should stop being a curious baby.

Lin Yanxue started looking for it from the first floor, and Tian Li went straight to the top.

The items on the top floor are some collected books, which have gathered dust and are probably not read often by the owner.

Tian Li took out a book.There were some words written on it that she couldn't understand. She wondered which language it should be in.

It would be great if they were all in Chinese.she thought.

Turning to the second page of the book, the text paragraphs on the yellowed paper suddenly turned into Chinese.

Tian Li suddenly opened her eyes wide.

What a fantasy come true!
My eyes suddenly focused on a passage on this page:
Everything you see and feel is false.

Whatever you think is the truth.

Just as she was pondering over the meaning of these two sentences that appeared out of nowhere, a voice suddenly appeared in her ears:
[Congratulations to the player for starting to hide the side plot - the spiritual world of Cthulhu, the deduction progress +5%]

Cthulhu.
What Cthulhu?
Tian Li thought for a moment, and the strange mural that she had just dismissed from her mind reappeared in her memory.

Suffering figures, spiders with human faces, and broken shells
"Come on, come here quickly——"

"The mural is beautiful, come and see it, come and see it——"

No, don't, don't think about it.

She covered her head and told herself repeatedly.

The ethereal voice echoed in my ears.

"Come on, come on -"

"Come in quickly——"

Shut up, shut up.

"Let's see--"

"Come and take a look——"

"."

Tian Li's eyes were red, and the book in her hand fell to the steps with a "pop" sound.
