Chapter 201 The Old Man in the Tunnel

After a careful inspection, Lin Shuyue did not find anything unusual. Then, she turned her gaze to the house on the left.

The room on the left should be the original owner's living room. There is only a bed, a dressing table and a set of tables and chairs left in the room.

Soon, a stool by the window caught Lin Shuyue's attention.

She walked forward quickly and saw that among the four small round stools, the dust on one of the stools by the window looked a bit strange, as if someone had deliberately sprinkled dust on it.

Lin Shuyue squinted her eyes and carefully looked at this simple living room. It seemed that someone had been to this room, but who was it? What secrets did this house hide?

Suddenly she squatted down, took out an oil lamp from the space, lit the oil lamp, and then carefully examined the ground with the light of the oil lamp.

There was only a set of her own footprints on the dusty ground, nothing unusual.

But she believed that as long as someone had been here, there would be traces left.

After pondering for a moment, she stood up, returned to the round stool, and squatted down to take a closer look.

Sure enough, in addition to her own footprints on the ground around the stool, she also found another pair of larger footprints, but they were covered with dust and could not be seen without careful observation.

She walked slowly forward along the footprints, and soon the footprints disappeared under the corner of the wall beside the bed.

Lin Shuyue stood in front of the wall and reached out to knock gently on the wall. Sure enough, the sound was completely different from that of ordinary walls. There should be nothing behind the wall.

But where is the switch on this wall? She touched the empty wall and found nothing unusual.

Recalling the experience of discovering secret rooms in the past, she cast her eyes to the ground in the corner.

Soon, she found that although there was a layer of dust on one of the blue bricks, it was still obvious that this blue brick was much smoother than the other blue bricks.

Lin Shuyue stepped on it tentatively, and then the wall automatically opened inward like a door, revealing a dark passage.

Looking at the dark cave entrance, she thought for a moment and finally decided to go in and find out what was going on.

After making up her mind, she took out a piece of cloth to cover her mouth and nose, then held up the oil lamp, held the sword in her right hand, and stepped into the cave lightly.

There were steps winding down in the cave. Lin Shuyue slowly went down the steps while listening vigilantly to the movements around him.

The stairs were very long, going down deep into the underground. When she went down the stairs and stood on the ground, she found that the tunnel had not stopped yet, but continued forward, as if there was no end in the darkness.

Time passed minute by minute, and Lin Shuyue had been walking in this dark tunnel for a long time. Apart from the man's footprints left on the ground, she did not see any other clues.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, when Lin Shuyue was about to reach a corner, she suddenly stopped.

She quietly pressed herself against the wall, closed her eyes and listened carefully, then suddenly opened her eyes and saw someone around the corner!

After thinking for a moment, she blew out the oil lamp, then quickly crossed the corner like a ghost, and before the man could react, the sword in her hand was already on his neck.

"who are you?"

In the darkness, an old man's voice sounded.

Lin Shuyue did not respond to him, but just put the sword close to the man's neck.

The sharp, cold sword suddenly touched the old man's neck, and she clearly felt the old man tremble.

"Young man, don't be impulsive!"

The old man lost his composure and his voice trembled.

Lin Shuyue pondered for a moment, then quickly tapped the old man with her finger, freezing him in place, and then asked coldly: "Who are you? Why are you in this tunnel?"

The old man stammered, "Girl, I... I am just a wandering beggar. I accidentally found this place and settled down here. Please... let me go! I will leave now..."

"is it?"

Her tone was still cold and calm. The old man swallowed unconsciously and said in a trembling voice: "Yes... Girl, please let me go..."

"Okay, I'll trust you for once."

Lin Shuyue retracted the sword, and a cold look flashed across his eyes.

"Then...then please..."

The old man was stiff and asked timidly, but a strange smile appeared on his face hidden in the darkness.
