Chapter 4 Probing
Shila-

Small sounds are particularly insignificant in the dark night.

The mess on the table was still there, and the air was filled with the smell of soup residue, mixed with an unknown smell, which seemed very strange and unpleasant.

The surroundings were dark and eerily quiet, as if no one had been there.

Tian Li frowned and wanted to get closer to observe, but she did not forget to be vigilant around her.

She held her breath, lowered her body, and slowly moved towards the dining table.

Just as she leaned half of her body behind the door, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark figure beside the door on the right. Before she had time to think about it, she immediately squatted down with her bowed body.

As soon as the black shadow moved, I subconsciously wanted to catch it.

Tian Li didn't know where the speed of reaction came from. Before her brain could think about it, her hand passed over first.

The baseball bat she held tightly hit the black figure directly on the calf.Unexpectedly, the opponent stepped back and at the same time exerted force on his calf, kicking the baseball bat out of Tian Li's hand.

Tian Li quickly turned around and rushed towards the stairs.

"Come--"

A pair of hands in the darkness took the lead and covered the words she was about to shout in her mouth.

uh-

Feeling Tian Li's struggle, the other party covered her hand tighter.

Now she couldn't even make a sound.

Tian Li was held tightly in the man's arms; but during the struggle, it was not difficult to feel the softness of her back, and it was not difficult to feel that the person behind her was a woman.

The woman with ear-to-ear short hair in the second group in my mind appears in my memory.Tian Li tried her best to turn her head and try to see the general appearance of the man clearly.

"do not move."

The other party lowered his voice and threatened in Tian Li's ear.

Although the voice was lowered, the soft voice of a woman could still be heard.

Tian Li stopped struggling, but pointed to the hand covering her mouth, and made a waving gesture to indicate that she would not yell.

The person behind him was dubious, and Tian Li didn't move anymore. The two of them just remained frozen.After a long time, the strength of the other party's hand slowly relaxed.

Huhu——

When the other party completely let go, Tian Li took two deep breaths. Just when she was about to speak, the other party directly made a "shh" motion.

Tian Li subconsciously kept silent.

The two of them just stood there frozen, neither of them making any move.

After about a few minutes, Tian Li heard the other party ask her in a low voice: "You also think something is wrong here?"

Tian Li nodded fiercely. She looked at the other party seriously, with urgency in her eyes.

The other party seemed a little helpless and said: "You can speak."

Tian Li whispered: "Are you sure that the tables in the restaurant were empty when you came here?"

The other party snorted lightly.

"I am sure."

"If there's anyone else here besides us, I think they might be here."

Tian Li pointed to her feet.

Since there is one underground floor, will there be a second underground floor?

After hearing Tian Li's words, the other party immediately walked to the dining table, with Tian Li following behind her.

Tian Li stopped at the position closest to the door, while the other party went to the other side directly opposite her.

The two squatted down at the same time.

This dining table is modeled after a Western-style dining table. The long tablecloth is stretched out on the floor and covers the bottom of the table tightly.Tian Li took a deep breath.She dared to use the baseball bat in her hand to gently lift the tablecloth on the ground.

The basement level was too dark, there were no windows, and it was even darker under the table.Tian Li does not have night blindness, but in this situation where she cannot see her fingers, even if she puts her face to the ground, she cannot see clearly.

She tried to touch the tiles on the ground with her hands, and the cold touch made her flinch; but after feeling through the cracks of the bricks for a long time, she still didn't find anything strange.

"Did you find anything?" After a long time, the other party's voice came over.

"No, I can't see anything clearly, I can't touch anything."

Tian Li moved her legs, which were numb from squatting, and said, "Could it be? I guessed wrong."

The other party was silent for a moment.

"Forget it, let's look again. Maybe there are clues in the surrounding walls."

The other party just finished speaking.The next moment, the dining table, which was originally full of messes, suddenly made a sizzling noise.

In this dark environment, even if Tian Li couldn't see anything, she could still feel that something on the table started to move up and down.

The sound of objects moving around her ears became louder and louder, and Tian Li's heart moved.

Could it be a passage to the underground!

She walked straight forward, took the baseball bat in her hand, and struck directly at the source of the sound.

The buzzing sound of the machine suddenly stopped, Tian Li was delighted, but within a few seconds the sound started to work again.

Tian Li said loudly: "Quick! Find something else."

Hearing this, the other party quickly moved one of the chairs up.He also followed the source of the sound and got stuck next to Tian Li.

"bump!"

The baseball bat in his hand was broken by the opening and closing of the machine, and the huge momentum increased the inertia.

Tian Li was stuck and staggered, and the other half of the baseball bat fell out of her hand.

"Quick, where's the light?"

She must see where this dining table leads.

The other party told her.

"The lamp is broken."

The movement between the two people just now had awakened the people upstairs.At this time, I could hear the voices of people talking upstairs and the footsteps coming down.

Tian Li was stunned in place. The baseball bat in her hand was much lighter and should have been broken.Her jaw was so shocked that she was numb, and she didn't recover for a long time.

"Are you okay?" she heard the other person ask.

The light in the underground restaurant "happened" to be broken, so it seemed that we would have to check the situation here tomorrow morning.

Tian Li took two deep breaths and thought about going home first. Just as she was about to turn around and talk to the other party, suddenly, a woman's scream came from upstairs.

Both of them were shocked and ran upstairs quickly.

When we got to the third floor, it turned out to be a false alarm. The reason was that someone stepped on the empty space because it was too dark.

It was hard to stay up until dawn.The next day, the two told others about the news about the underground restaurant last night, and everyone came to the underground restaurant to investigate.

New food was placed on the table, and the damaged chairs were replaced with new ones.But even after searching the entire dining table, nothing was found.

Except for the broken baseball bat left in Tian Li's hand, it was as if everything that night had disappeared and never happened.

This underground restaurant was too weird, but there was no way to get started, so everyone put it aside for the time being.

However, after this incident, Tian Li also recognized the person who came with her to explore the underground restaurant that night.

The other party's name is Zhang Xincheng, a retired female soldier.
