The cyan stone steps were covered with dust, layer upon layer spreading towards the boundless darkness.

Bi Qigu opened his eyes wide, only feeling the rotten and unpleasant air rushing towards his face from the entrance of the cave, and the boundless darkness seemed to open his teeth and claws in it, choosing to devour people.

This is……

"Hey."

It's more fun than Qigu.

Before coming, he said get ready for hell

...I didn't realize it, I was really going to step into hell.

……

Chapter 26 The Mouse in the Wall

There is a thick layer of soil more than half a meter deep between the entrance of the hole and the floor. Obviously, even if someone comes to rebuild and install the floor tiles, the hole will not be discovered. It can be said that it has taken enough secret measures.

"How did Shana-chan find it?" Kaguya looked at Shana strangely. Generally speaking, who would think of splitting the floor?

Hikigu also cast his curious eyes on Shana.

"Use a knife." Xia Na raised the knife and said as a matter of course.

Kaguya: "This..."

This answer is impeccable, but it is also speechless.

"Everyone has their own secrets, don't they?" Shana pointed at Kaguya, then at Hikigu,

"You don't? You don't?"

Hikigu nodded slowly thinking of his real thing; Kaguya didn't know what he thought of, and fell into silence.

"Right?" Shana withdrew her finger and pointed at herself again:

"We're all monsters, that's why we got together."

"Just like that Xue Nai just now, she is also suppressing monsters in her heart. I can see that... we are all of the same kind. It is fate that the same kind gathers together."

"So, why do you care why I blasted this hole? You just need to know that this hole should be blasted, and I did what I should..." Shana tilted her head, and she was no longer that indifferent at this moment , with a much more vivid expression, "That's enough."

"You're right." Bi Qigu nodded in agreement, and then asked in confusion: "Speaking of which, you seem to talk a lot more this time than before?"

"What should I look like?"

Shana asked Hikigu back.

"Hmm..." Hikigu was at a loss for words for a moment, organized his words, and then tried to answer:

"It should be, an indifferent killer kid?"

Raising her eyebrows, Shana hugged the knife in front of her chest, raised her head and squinted at Bi Qigu, "Do you like to set up routines?"

"Actually, I hate doing that the most." Hikigu shook his head, shrugged his shoulders, and said in a low voice, "Because I have always been the one who was set up by others, not that I am boasting. Over the years, I can not wear colored glasses Not many people look at me."

"So, I really misunderstood, I just saw that you have always been like that..."

"I don't like a scheming woman like Kaguya." Shana answered irrelevantly, and what she said made Kaguya raise her eyebrows.

"But I agree with what she said. Everyone has two sets of attitudes, it's just that you don't know me well enough."

At this moment, Shana is still in the same small body with the same expressionless face, but the overall impression is vivid, like a statue with a mask turned into a living person with flesh and blood, she is so proud and airy , so handsome.

"Or, it's just that you and I are not familiar enough."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Bi Qigu to say anything, and Shana didn't want to hear the follow-up words, she turned her head and jumped, holding the knife, and the burner flame on the knife was illuminated, and walked down the steps dully.

Hikigu shook his head, only then did he realize in his heart that his two partners are all people with complicated contradictions... who is not a complicated person?Facing strangers is one set of attitudes, and facing close ones is another set of attitudes.

"Wait for me!"

Hikigu followed into the entrance of the cave, followed Shana's trail, and walked into the abyss without hesitation, followed by Kaguya.

Maybe this is a good thing?It means that the distance between myself and Kaguya and Shana has shortened. From this point of view... the affinity of the head of the branch is not bad.

After the last relaxing atmosphere before the battle, Hikigu quickly changed his state and rushed to the dark cave without hesitation.

……

The stairs are very long, with no edge, and looking down, you can only see endless darkness.

To be honest, walking down this narrow staircase, the darkness below can not see the end, and the darkness under the feet is indistinct... This kind of experience is really not good, the earthy smell rushes into the nose, and Bi Qigu can even smell it. I saw all kinds of small creatures such as insects and earthworms living in the soil on both sides of me.

"Looking at the soil quality and the oldness of the steps, I have reason to suspect that this cave has existed since the house was first built." Hui Ye thought while walking, and then carefully observed the surroundings with the firelight of Shana in front.

"You mean, this burrow was dug by Grandpa Kanekiken's grandpa?"

Hikiya recalled the rough materials related to Kaneki Ken submitted by the civil servants,

"I remember the information said that this house was built by Kaneki Ken's grandfather after he moved to Chiba."

"Not necessarily, maybe it was Kaneki Ken's grandfather's father who dug it." Kaguya was noncommittal, "Now I feel that Kaneki Ken himself may not know that there is this burrow at home, because the burrow is not like it has been opened in recent years. "

"It's normal for Kaneki Ken not to know, if I have a child, I will definitely not let him touch the secret..."

Before Bi Qigu finished speaking, Shana in front of her suddenly stopped, raised her knife and slashed fiercely at the ground——

"boom!"

Hikigu picked up his gun and walked up to look, and found that in front of Shana, there was an indescribable white body that was split into two groups, squeaking and screaming as if alive... The sound was a bit like a mouse, and it sounded like a mouse. Crazier, louder, and more human than a rat.

"What is this?" Hikigu frowned, this thing made people upset.

At this moment, they had walked for an unknown amount of time. They only knew that they could hardly see the light of the exit when they looked up, and there was still an endless abyss when they looked down. The inexplicable panic wanted to match the indescribable white body and the ear-piercing cry. The race has a strong ominous and creepy feeling.

"I don't know." Shana raised the knife with a look of disgust, held the handle upside down, and stabbed violently with the blade facing down. The flames burned blazingly on the two bodies, burning them to ashes, "But it's disgusting."

"Wait!" Kaguya opened his eyes wide and raised his hand to signal, and held his breath with his ears sideways, "Listen!"

After the white body was burned to ashes, it seemed that some mechanism had been triggered, and there was an ear-piercing commotion in the soil on both sides.

The cry gradually increased from small to loud, and from one sound to another, Bi Qigu listened attentively, and suddenly found that it was the sound of countless mice scratching, hissing, and running... But how could there be so many mice in the soil? ?

The sound was close to my ears, as if at any moment, some huge, sharp-toothed and dirty filth would come out of the soil in groups, devouring all creatures on this step.

The three stood on guard, standing back to back, trying to break through the mud walls and face the Rat in the Wall behind them, but this ominous commotion sounded from all directions, making it impossible for people to start for a while.

Suddenly, the restlessness of the rats in the wall stopped in unison, and everything returned to dead silence, as if they had never been there.

The confusion and tension in the hearts of the three people in Biqigu did not decrease but increased.

……

Chapter 27 The Cave at 1000 Meters and the 200-Year Conspiracy

Before reaching the bottom, they encountered a strange incident, which cast a shadow over the hearts of the three of Biqigu. They realized that this search might not be smooth, and they didn't know what was waiting for them ahead.

but……

"Keep going."

Hikigu ordered.

But they have no retreat, they can only move forward, because the clues are ahead, because they are agents of the association.

So, the group of people continued to walk down the steps cautiously. The smell of moss came from the blue stone steps mixed with the smell of earth. The unknown rotten and musty smells were rampant, and a large number of dense spider webs blocked the way forward;

The more you go down, the more ominous the smell will be; the more you go forward, the stronger the weird atmosphere will be.

The air away from the ground is gradually thinner, the temperature is gradually rising, and the soil layer is gradually changing;

Hikigu took out three pills, took one by himself, and handed each of Shana and Kaguya one - with this, the three of them can be guaranteed to have enough oxygen intake for an hour.

After walking for another 10 minutes on the crooked steps, sometimes going down, turning, and going forward, the three of them finally could vaguely see the end of the steps, and the quiet exit was close at hand through the firelight on Shana's knife.

Just at this moment, like the last test before reaching the finish line, the dense and terrifying piercing commotion sounded again, the sound grew from small to loud, and from one sound to another, countless rats scrambled on both sides of the mud wall. Scratching, neighing, running deep sideways.

At this depth, the soil layers on both sides are already very hard and close to rocks. Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for mice to pass through such soil layers.

But this time, Bi Qigu heard it very clearly. He was almost sure that the rats were rushing past inside the mud wall. He could almost imagine through the sound that the bony, dirty, ugly and greedy army of rats was deep in the mud. The place is rolling like a vast ocean, and the tides ebb and flow, and the group of rodents will devour pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep with ferocious faces.Even everything including humans.

— that's sure to be enough to make any mystic phobic scream and even an old cat cringe.

However, this voice was not enough to shake the agents of the association, at most it made the already weird atmosphere even more absurd and terrifying.

"Why are they screaming again?" Amidst the creepy screams and howls one after another, Kaguya shouted loudly in the ears of Hikigu and Shana to make sure they could hear:

"Are they warning us not to pass, or are they fearing that we will pass?"

Hikigu nodded, his voice amplified, he raised M1911 with his right hand, and set up the enchanted dagger with his left.

"Maybe both."

"So where they don't want us to go is exactly where we want to go."

"Come on, girls."

Bi Qigu took the lead and rushed to the exit below. The restlessness of the mud walls on both sides was ignored by him, and there was a sharp and calm light in his eyes.

"Let's go and see what's sacred down there."

Next, the three of Hikigu and Kaguya Shana saw a secret that had been sealed for nearly 200 years at a depth of nearly a thousand meters.

……

The huge cave is right in front of you. At the entrance of the cave, there is a special low door standing there. It is made of red bricks and stone carvings. It is symmetrical on both sides. It is a split triangle, and the split part in the middle leaves a passage. .

Bi Qigu and the others cautiously and cautiously bent down and entered the low door, and the cave scene suddenly became clear. Shana raised her hand, and the flame on the knife flew up into the sky and burned blazingly, illuminating the cave, and the structure inside was reflected. eye:

The cave is about the size of a football field. The cave is supported by thick columns, and the floor is made of stones in a checkerboard shape;

What is surprising is that in this cave with the soil layer above it, there is no expected dust everywhere, and the overall appearance is clean and tidy, as if someone has been cleaning here.

In the center of the cave, a huge altar attracted the attention of Hikigu and others.

——That should be the altar, and Hikigu is only guessing, because there can only be a hideous stone statue a few meters high, and four tall stone tablets surrounding the statue.

Walking to the altar, Hikigu and the others were able to see the detailed true face of the statue.

The appearance of the statue does not look Japanese at all. It has a body similar to that of a human being, with split, large and deep eyes, and there are circles of swirl textures in the eyes.

In addition, he has eight terrible and sharp fangs; the four incisors are turned outwards, and on both sides of the four incisors, there are two long and pointed fangs facing upwards, and two shorter ones. And the upturned teeth grow downward;

It was a big mouth full of blood. In addition to the ferocious fangs, there was also a long tongue with thick barbs protruding out, reaching close to the navel, with a length of half a meter.

There are many blurred inscriptions on the stone tablet in front of the statue, and the ghost-like characters are not in any language known in the world.

"It's a bit like the indigenous writing style in Southeast Asia...but there is no such language in the world now."

The knowledgeable Kaguya recognized it for a while, then said uncertainly.

In a cave thousands of meters underground, there is such a statue of an exotic monster that is full of ominousness... Hikigu and others understand that the ancestors of Kaneki Ken must be dangerous elements with real problems.

Hikigaya circled the statue, looked carefully at the statue and his surroundings, glanced at it inadvertently, and suddenly his scalp felt numb——

Illuminated by the fire burning at high altitude, if Biqigu saw it right, there is a bloated figure lurking in the darkness at the corner of the cave tens of meters behind the statue!

The scalp exploded, a gust of cold air rushed straight from the spine to the brain, Bi Qigu yelled sharply, and his figure exploded.

This yell has no real content, but it can remind Kaguya and Shana that they moved without any hesitation, and rushed towards Hikigu one after the other.

After taking a closer look, Hikigu realized that this was not a figure, but another statue.

Under the firelight, Hikigu saw the statue kneeling and kowtowing in the corner. It was a swineherd with a gray beard, a bloated figure, and a hideous face like a devil.

In front of the place where the statue was lying on its stomach, disgusting unknown filth was piled up on the ground for a full half a meter. It looked as if the swineherd was worshiping both the statue and the filth—the former is possible, the latter is of course only an illusion,

Around it, there are statues of fat cattle covered in fungi—perhaps a symbol of the animals it nurtured and herded.

Crackling - crackling - tearing -

The flames were burning in the sky and crackling, the flames and huge shadows flickered on the ground, the atmosphere was silent, no one spoke, it was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground.

Hikigaya looked at Kaguya, and found that there was strong doubt and worry on her face, and he knew that his own expression should be the same at this moment.

……

A huge cave 1000 meters underground, with exquisite and neat decorations, hideous exotic statues and huge steles, as well as hideous stone sculptures of swineherds on the edge...

Whether such an arrangement has any symbolic significance remains to be seen, but all of this shows that in this small city called Chiba City, there is a huge mystery hidden in the shadows that has existed for at least 200 years. year.

And today, 200 years later, the answer to this mystery may be revealed... No one knows whether the result is good or bad.
