Chapter 1859 Careful Exploration
At this moment, everyone noticed something. The exploration speed of this place suddenly jumped, from 1% to 9%. Obviously, Max's analysis and reasoning touched some of the secrets of this place.

After receiving this little encouragement, the group of people immediately regained their spirits. Obviously, the next direction is very clear. They should make persistent efforts and dig deeper into why these people in the madhouse commit suicide collectively.

Then the group continued to go to the second floor and the third floor to look for possible clues.

Soon, Fang Linyan and the others discovered that there were signs of people living on the second floor. Most of these people were "madmen", that is, mental patients. They were all placed in the southwest room, and the number was almost over 30 people.

In the northwest corner, there were also guards living in, occupying six of the rooms.

The living area of ​​these people obviously avoids the eastern area of ​​the second floor of the building, as if there is an invisible line across the center, once crossed, then ominous things will happen.

And judging from the selection of the caretakers, the most troublesome area should be the southeast corner, so their rooms should be as far away as possible diagonally.

It is worth mentioning that it was more than four o'clock in the morning, and all the mental patients locked in here were in a state of vigour, with red eyes and very sensitive appearance.

Whenever there was any trouble, he would suddenly raise his head, look around vigilantly, and bared his white teeth. His appearance even made Fang Linyan and the others think of mutated zombies!

When Omi passed by a room, a mental patient inside suddenly jumped out and slammed into the door with a bang.

Then the nails of both hands "creaked" the door panel, and at the same time, the mouth made a "lotus" sound, his eyes were scattered, and his eyes were all bloodshot, which looked extremely scary! !

Accompanied by his activities, the mental patients in the other rooms rushed to the door together as if they had gone berserk, shaking and knocking on the door panel desperately, and it seemed that there was a lot of noise.

Undoubtedly, Fang Linyan and the others were taken aback by such a sudden situation. The key point is that they are now in a long passage, with cells for mental patients on both sides.

Therefore, if the guards showed up at the first time, they would definitely be caught. Unless they broke open the door next to them and fled in, that would mean meeting the lunatic inside face to face, and the commotion would be even greater.

However, although these mental patients made a lot of noise, the guards never showed up, as if they didn't hear them.

Everyone in the legendary team was very shrewd, and after looking at each other in amazement for a few seconds, they understood what was going on.

The goat said first:
"This kind of riot is estimated to happen often, and the guards are used to it. This is a typical wolf."

Omi also said:

"Think about it differently. If I were to be a guard in such a ghostly place, it would definitely be better to have one more thing than one less thing."

Crespo laughed:

"If the prisoner escapes, the jailer will be whipped and the consequences will be very serious, but this is not a prison, and the people in it are not prisoners, so even if something goes wrong, the consequences will be very light."

Fang Linyan frowned at this time and said:

"Crazy people are also human beings. They need to eat and drink. It's normal if they can't sleep for a few nights. However, all of these 30 or so crazy people don't go to sleep after four o'clock in the morning. They are very sensitive. There must be some reason for this."

When Fang Linyan said this, the expressions of the rest of the people also darkened.

However, these issues should be put on hold for now, as the old saying goes, first search the above-ground part carefully, and then study carefully after obtaining enough clues and information.

Based on the information currently available, the danger level of this "Abnormal Human Research Center" should decrease as the number of floors increases.

The entrance to the negative floor is guarded at any time, and this group of people is ready to take it lightly.

The first floor used to imprison the mentally ill, unfortunately they should all have died.

The second level of danger is obviously much lower, but it still makes it difficult for the mentally ill to sleep at night, and they are very frightened.On the contrary, the caretakers who live in the northwest corner are much better. I don't know if it's because of the location, or they have their own means of avoiding evil.

After exploring the second floor, we soon came to the third floor. Surprisingly, the space here is surprisingly small.

To put it simply, after going up to the third floor, it is facing a large office, which is obviously the position of the dean, and there is no one in it.

There is a foyer in front of the office with several stools. Obviously, when the dean needs to receive many visitors, the visitors who arrive later need to wait on the stools first.

There are corridors on the left and right of the foyer, but they are only about ten meters long, and the door is closed at the end.

To put it simply, the layout of the third floor forms a flat "Pin" character, the upper entrance is the dean's room, and there are two large rooms on the left and right, and the staircase is directly below.

Fang Linyan and Vulture came here before, checked briefly and then went back to join the rest of the people. At this time, they took the initiative to check again, and finally got the result quickly: there was no one on the third floor at this time.

Under such circumstances, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to investigate carefully, and soon found that the rooms on the left and right were arranged in the layout of an office + bedroom.

From the furnishings in the room, there are some decorations and the like, it can be seen that the third floor is usually stationed by foreigners, and the living conditions are obviously very good, but the bedding and the like are neatly folded. It's like spending the night here.

Not only that, but there is one thing in common: there are so many crosses and Bibles!

"They should rarely spend the night here."

The goat said suddenly.

"Then what about the beds here?"

Crespo asked suspiciously.

Goat said:
"These foreigners should stay here for a long time during the day and don't leave until night, so the beds here are for them to take a lunch break."

"The reason is also very simple. You can see from the furnishings here that there are very few changes of clothes in the closet, and there are no alarm clocks, toiletries, and towels. These are all necessary things to get up in the morning."

Xingyi frowned and said:
"Obviously, these foreigners know that there are huge risks here, so they dare not even stay overnight, but why do they insist on stationing here? There must be huge profit motives."

"If we can find out the reason behind this, then we will definitely be able to get additional corresponding rewards."

Max suddenly said:
"No! No!! Did you find anything?"

Fang Linyan said:

"You said."

Max said:
"This building is not a spire structure, but has three upper and lower floors similar to a warehouse, so it stands to reason that the area of ​​the upper and lower three floors should be about the same."

"However, you didn't realize that the area of ​​the third floor is much smaller than that of the first and second floors, even less than half. So, what is the remaining space used for?"

After Max said this, Fang Linyan and the others noticed this.They were also the ones who did it immediately when they thought of it, and immediately started to investigate from the northwest corner. After all, based on the information they had before, this is the safest location.

Soon, a wall appeared in front of them. This is a lounge for foreigners on the third floor. If only the third floor is considered, then there is no problem, but after on-site measurement, it is obvious that something is wrong. .

Walking from the stairs on the second floor to the northwest corner, it takes a full 210 steps to reach the edge of the building --- the guard's lounge on the second floor.

However, walking in the same direction from the stairs on the third floor, after only 120 steps, a wall appeared in front of him.

Obviously, there must be some secret hidden behind this wall, and at least one-third of the area of ​​the third floor is occupied by this secret.

A group of people searched around, but did not find secret passages, secret doors and the like.Max pressed his palms against the wall, and with a little effort, he knew what to expect, and said to Fang Linyan:

"Boss, this wall has not been strengthened, so it is easy to tear it down."

Before Fang Linyan could speak, Omi and Xingyi said at the same time:

"no!"

Then the two women looked at each other, and Xingyi made a gesture that you said first, and Omi said lightly:
"This kind of place is very evil. Maybe there are some mechanism formations and the like. If we modify the building structure without authorization, then there may be some big troubles."

"It's not like we don't have clues to find now. The guards on the second floor and the mental patients can all be arrested to ask for confessions and collect relevant information. In short, I think that if it is not a last resort, we should not violently destroy it. .”

The goat raised a hand and said:
"Seconded."

Fang Linyan thought for a while and said:
"In this way, two people work in groups, and the range of activities is limited to the third floor. Everyone will go through the suspicious areas where they think there may be clues. If there is any problem, contact the team channel immediately."

Soon, a group of people did what he wanted, and the surprising result was that Xingyi was not wanted, so they could only act pitifully and follow him.

Fang Linyan thought for a while, and went directly to the dean's office at the central office, because in Fang Linyan's subconscious mind, he naturally felt that the superior would know more inside information.

To be honest, the layout of the dean's office may be considered fashionable in this era, but in Fang Linyan's eyes, it is very old-fashioned, because he has come to check it before, so this time, Fang Linyan is honest. He politely sat down on the dean's seat.

If you experience the dean's daily life in person, you may be able to find relevant entry points faster and more skillfully.

Carefully going through the things on the table, Fang Linyan found nothing suspicious. As for whether there are any hidden compartments under the desk and the floor, don't worry, this is the domain of vultures, and he will definitely not ignore these hard-hit areas.

However, Fang Linyan began to have a suspicion that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it for a while, but his mind seemed to be reminiscing about what he saw before.

"That's right. What's wrong here is not that there are more suspicious things, but something missing!!"

"In the soldier's room, I saw two things that are essential, tobacco and alcohol. Ocean voyages are very boring in this era. Foreign soldiers who can be sent to Asia to station in the long voyage Naturally, the vices of chewing tobacco and spirits follow."

"If it is about suffering, then officials must avoid it, but if it is about enjoying, these officials must be afraid of being left behind. Therefore, it is very unlikely that the foreign dean has not been addicted to chewing tobacco and spirits."

"Then, this is not a place for him to relax, so as long as he finds that place, he should be able to get some valuable clues."

On the premise of having a clear guess in his heart, and the vulture Lipper had searched some hidden corners before, Fang Linyan found the entrance of the secret room without much effort, and it was actually on the ceiling!

The front of the dean's room is the office, and the back is the resting and living area, with a bed, a desk and a few simple furnishings.

The mechanism is actually on the bedside table. If you kick the bedside table directly towards the wall, you can hear the sound of "click, click" from the chain of the mechanism, and then the ceiling opens directly, and a staircase above slowly descends.

The reason why Fang Linyan was able to discover this mechanism was entirely because he saw the shoe prints on its surface, and if he looked carefully, there should be more than one foot——he thought in his heart that someone often kicked here! ?
This is the dean's inner room. If there is nothing to do, who would come in and kick the cabinet? Needless to say, there is a high probability that he did it himself.

In this case, although Fang Linyan didn't find out what would happen if he kicked the cabinet, he knew to try it.

As a result, after kicking, there was a pleasant surprise, and the stairs immediately came down with a "crash, clatter"—who would have guessed that this house that only looks like the third floor can have a loft with a hole in the sky?

For the sake of caution, Xingyi casually used the activation technique to activate a quill next to it, turning it into a little monster with wings and flew up. , indicating that there was no danger, and then the two climbed up the ladder.

As a result, he smelled a strange smell head-on. This smell was mixed with fermented alcohol, dirty underwear, and even excrement. It almost didn't smoke people.

Then he saw the darkness inside the attic, with neither windows nor light. After Fang Linyan turned on the flashlight, he realized that the space inside was not that big, only seven or eight square meters, and the most eye-catching thing inside was a big bed. There is also a bedside table.
