Chapter 526 The Hidden Hole

I pressed the door with one hand, and pushed half of my body against it, almost thinking it was my hallucination.

How could there be a head outside the door?
This is impossible.

I looked at the watch on my wrist, and the light from the lighter was weak, so I had to move the watch very close. It showed that it was still six o'clock, and about 10 minutes had passed since the last time I checked the time, that is to say Well, it's still bright outside, even if there is a ghost, there's no reason to come out, right?

At this time, I felt that the lighter was a little hot. Although this kind of windproof lighter burns longer than ordinary lighters, it can't last too long. If it goes out, there will be no light source in the room.Thinking of this, I took a deep breath and slowly calmed down my frightened emotions.

Over and over again in my mind is the head floating outside the door, as well as its blue face and blood red eyes.

Looking at the iron gate with mottled green paint, I feel a little uncertain.Is it still out there?Is it my hallucination?I squeezed the dagger, took a deep breath, and boldly pulled the iron door open again.This time, there was also no hindering force, and the iron door opened wide.

Outside the door is a dark corridor, where there are no heads.

I took a lighter and looked around. After making sure that there was nothing strange, I immediately went out and headed for the exit of Sidong. Anyway, let’s leave this gloomy place first.However, I ran about 107 meters in one breath, only to find that the place where the entrance and exit should have been had disappeared, replaced by an iron door with mottled green paint. The red paint on the door was brushed with a faded Room No. [-].
... Isn't this the room I entered just now?
ghost hit the wall

These three words suddenly popped up in my mind, and I suddenly turned my head to look at the way I came, only to see the darkness behind me, and a figure suddenly flashed in the dim light.I knew right away that it was that thing that was causing the trouble, and I'm quite a courageous person, knowing that I was trapped by something evil, if I don't get that thing out, I don't want to go out today.Immediately without saying a word, he chased after the figure where it appeared.

This place was originally a straight corridor, and after ten or so steps, he returned to the door of the previous room. The iron door of 107 was still half-closed.I looked at the iron gate in front of me, and then at the darkness 20 meters away.Although I can't see the iron gate that appeared at the entrance right now, I know that it is blocked there.

It seems that it's still that ghost thing in this room who won't let me leave.Thinking of this, I became angry and kicked open the iron gate, thinking that if the tiger doesn't show its power, I really think I'm afraid of you.Thinking this way, when I entered the door, I remembered that there was a pile of garbage in the corner. I glanced at it before and found that there were some cloth and other things in it, so I went to the corner and set the rags on fire.

The fire was lit up, illuminating the whole room brightly. I can't buy incense right now, and I don't have buffalo horns around me, so I can't see the troublesome thing.However, wherever the soft zongzi is located, there will always be a real body, such as a corpse, or a spiritual seat, or some extremely dark things, which can easily become the place where Ruan zongzi lives.Now, there are only two suspicious places in this room. One is the big closet that made strange noises before, and the other is the kitchen. After all, there are more sundries in the kitchen, and there are some broken bowls and old jars. It is not allowed that there is something famous in it.I decided to start with the big cabinet first.

When I walked into the room where the closet was enlarged, the ground was still covered with broken mirrors. In the dim light, there were figures cut into pieces. I saw the same thing, and looked away, looking at the closet in front of me.I obviously opened it, but now, this wardrobe is actually tightly closed.

Within a few seconds of my approaching here, the creaking sound rang out again. This time I was sure that the sound came from the closet, as if someone was scratching the closet with their hands .

I gasped, looked around, pulled out my dagger, and slammed open the wardrobe door.

At this moment, while I was thinking of Amitabha Buddha, I had already recalled the method I knew to deal with the soft rice dumplings. I thought, if there is really a ghost inside, I would bite the tip of my tongue and spit out my heart Let's talk about Yangxue.But who knows, when I opened the closet this time, it was still empty.

There were only a few spiders left in the closet, and they were frightened by me before mending the webs that I had destroyed, and they burrowed into the corners one after another, probably cursing the human beings for being so annoying.

Looking at the empty closet, I couldn't help but feel guilty. I've seen so many soft rice dumplings that I'm not afraid, but the feeling that the enemy is in the dark and I'm in the light is not good.Just when I was not sure what to do, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of something crawling on the wardrobe.

Is that thing hidden above the wardrobe?
I suddenly raised the lighter and looked up, only to see that thing rushing to the ceiling quickly, leaving only a black shadow in a flash, like a person lying on all fours, and the moment it flashed past, I also Suddenly saw that it was the head.

The head that was suspended outside the door before!

With little hesitation, I threw the dagger in my hand towards the thing.Over the past year, I have never failed to throw the throwing knife. Although it is not as good as Chen Ci, it can be regarded as half of Xiao Li's flying knife, but this attack is still slow, and the dagger did not hit the head. , broke off the fragile cement on the ceiling surface, and fell to the ground again.

I immediately chased that head out, only to see it slam into the kitchen, and in an instant, I heard a bang, and when I caught up, the rusty iron pot in between fell on the ground. On the ground, dripping and spinning.

In the small kitchen, you can see at a glance where there are heads.

For a moment, I just felt my head was big.

What exactly is that human head?Could it be that someone died in this room, and the soul of the deceased lingered?While thinking, I looked at this square inch of land, but at this moment, I suddenly discovered that there was a water tank under the iron pot.

This is an old-fashioned building. In the past, it was not so convenient to supply running water, and the water would be cut off from time to time. Therefore, in the kitchen at that time, there would be an integrated water tank connected to the stove under the faucet, and the top was paved with movable tiles. Nothing can be seen on the surface, and it will store water on weekdays for emergencies.The movable tiles of this water tank are presumably damaged, so the square mouth of the tank is exposed. The big black pot just happened to be on the mouth of the tank, so I didn't find it.

And when the head rushed in, it obviously hit the iron pot, so the iron pot fell to the ground, exposing the square mouth of the water tank instead.

My heart skipped a beat, and I wondered if that thing was hiding in the water tank?

This soft rice dumpling is really weird. On the one hand, it is sleepy and won't let me go, and on the other hand, it doesn't show up to deal with me directly, but hides its head and tail. What's the purpose?Could it be that this is a female ghost who doesn't want to harm me, but wants me to stay and be her concubine?
After hanging out with that boy Tofu for a long time, I have more and more unreliable thoughts. I shook my head and threw out these messy thoughts. I entered the mouth of the tank, thinking that if this thing really hides inside, I will give it a shuttle.

I have improved this throwing knife myself. Grandpa’s flying knife is poisonous. I think it is not safe to be poisonous. If you are not careful, you will easily hurt yourself. Filled with a mixture of cinnabar and black cinnabar, I hope this flying knife can also have some effect on soft rice dumplings, but unfortunately I have never had a chance to experiment.

At this moment, when I poked my head in, I found that the water tank was quite large. It couldn’t be seen from the outside, but it was quite deep inside. It was about 1.3 meters long. It was long on both sides and wide at both ends, enough for two teenagers to lie in. length.

But this time, I got an unexpected harvest. I couldn’t see the human head in the water tank. Instead, it was on the other side of the water tank, that is, on the side opposite to the square water inlet. There was a big hole at the bottom. It's dark and as wide as a person's. It doesn't look like a drain at first glance. Whose drain is so big?
What is this hole for?
Curious, I retracted into the water tank, buried my body and went to the hole to check.With the light of a lighter, which is not bright, I found that there is a hole in the ground below, and judging from the traces around the hole, it is still a robbery hole, with small horseshoe marks layered on top of each other, like fish scales. It's very beautiful, and it looks like it was done by a veteran.

How could there be a robbery hole in this place?

Immediately afterwards, I suddenly realized: Could it be that Mr. Bai put Dong XZ in this hole?No wonder the door of this room is not locked, but it is very eye-catching when it is locked. Who would have expected that there would be a robbery hole under the water tank?From the looks of it, most of the things are here?

I wanted to go down to have a look, but I remembered the head that also floated into the water tank just now, but it didn't come out, and it seemed that it had also gone into this hole.Now I only have a lighter, and I don't know if the throwing knife in my hand will work on the soft rice dumplings. It seems a bit risky to go on like this.

Just as he was hesitating, suddenly, he heard a squeak from outside.

It was the sound of an iron door being pushed.

Immediately afterwards, someone spoke: "Hey, why is there a fire here?"

Another person said: "No, the cabinet was opened." Immediately after that, there was another whistle sound, and before I could react, something jumped out of the robber's hole in front of me.Only then did I realize that the thing was a big black spider, and behind the big spider, there was a cyan pattern like a human face.

I immediately remembered that this was a rare human-faced spider that secreted a substance that gave people a slight hallucination.In other words, the human head I saw before was actually it. As for the ghost hitting the wall, it is probably just my own hallucination.
