if only hug

The imaginary horror scene of no response did not appear, and within a few seconds, a crisp cracking sound came, confirming that he had heard correctly, Wu Xie let out a long sigh of relief.Damn, listening to this echo, there are at least ten meters below. The third uncle's house, including the roof, is only more than ten meters from the highest point to the ground. Counting what I have climbed just now, I am already very close to the ground. , but there are still ten meters below, could it be... Wu Xie suddenly realized, does this house have a basement?

However, the number of times he has come here is not infrequent, and he has never found out that there is a basement here. Could it be that the third uncle secretly built it?Or did Zhang Haixing do it?Regardless of so much, Wu Xie decided to climb down to have a look first.

Climbing downstairs quickly, finding the right foothold, standing tremblingly, just about to turn around, an unexpected voice suddenly came to my ears: "Don't move around."

The voice was not loud, but upon hearing these words, Wu Xie stopped moving in an instant, and stood there in a daze, but his heart seemed to explode. That's right, he couldn't be more familiar with this voice, it turned out to be Zhang Qiling's sound!Damn it!He is here!

"You..." Wu Xie was stopped by a burst of "hush" just as he was about to speak.

In the darkness, Wu Xie couldn't see anything, the surroundings were extremely quiet, only bursts of cold air invaded the whole body, which was creepy.But when he thought that Boyouping was here, Wu Xie's heart, which had been beating wildly since just now, suddenly calmed down.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and in the invisible environment, the time seemed to become extraordinarily long.I don't know how long it took, just when Wu Xie couldn't bear it anymore and was about to ask again, a miner's lamp was turned on with a "snap", and then Wu Xie saw Poker Ping's face that hadn't changed for thousands of years.

Unable to adapt to the light for a while, Wu Xie stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and walked over by feeling: "Brother, why-"

"What are you doing here?" Wu Xie squinted his eyes when he was interrupted before he finished speaking. Zhang Qiling was squatting on the ground, pressing the lamp with his left hand, holding a file bag with his right hand, looking sideways at himself, his face seemed a little displeased .

"I..." I was at a loss for words for a moment, Wu Xie lowered his head, yes, what is he doing here?Are you here to find the truth?Or... came to see you?

"You shouldn't have followed," Zhang Qiling turned his head away from him, "it's not safe here."

Pokerfing took the initiative to speak so seriously, but the number of times Wu Xie froze on the spot, a little at a loss, thought for a long time before slowly saying: "I won't hold you back, I don't want to be passive anymore, I want to know what's going on with all this happening around me."

"Sometimes, it's better not to know." Zhang Qiling said lightly.

"But I don't want to escape. I have to experience it, and I won't escape. I don't want to be protected all the time." Wu Xie's expression was very serious.

Zhang Qiling watched him stop talking, picked up the miner's lamp and stood up to illuminate the surrounding area.The power of the miner's lamp was a little insufficient, the light was not very strong, and he didn't know where he found it. Wu Xie got closer, and under the weak light, he saw a scene that he would not believe even if he was killed. is a laboratory.

Yes, this is a place similar to a cellar, but the various test tubes, flasks and other experimental utensils on the wall illustrate its identity.

"This..." Wu Xie was a little stunned. Before he came down, he had imagined what would happen here. He had thought that it might be the treasury of the third uncle, or a place where guns and weapons were stored. The legendary private prison, but I didn't expect it to be a laboratory. The third uncle is a businessman, how could he have anything to do with this kind of thing?

"It's been a few years," Zhang Qiling explained, "it was built together with the house."

"The things here..." Wu Xie moved closer, and they were all less valuable utensils covered with a thick layer of dust, "It seems to have been abandoned for a long time."

Zhang Qiling didn't speak, and raised his hand to raise the miner's lamp a bit.Following the light, Wu Xie raised his head, the top of his head was still pitch black, and at the end of the light, it seemed that some faint light was blocked.Wu Xie narrowed her eyes and found that it was the ceiling.It turned out that there is a ceiling here, Wu Xie was very confused, why didn't he step on anything just now?He raised his head and retreated towards the iron ladder. He just turned around and took two steps. When he lowered his head, Wu Xie was stunned. He saw an empty space in front of him. Where was there any iron ladder!

"This..." Wu Xie stayed where she was, completely dumbfounded, her tone trembling, "What's going on here?"

"This is a mechanism." Zhang Qiling walked over with a miner's lamp.

"Organ?" Hearing that it was an organ, Wu Xie let go of his hanging heart.That's great, it's not a supernatural event, but, how can there be a mechanism here?

Wu Xie took the miner's lamp on one side and began to examine the underground carefully.The space is not big, only half the size of a classroom. The ceiling is high, and there is no exit around the visible range. The place where I just came down, the ceiling has been completely closed, and there is no trace of it.

Wu Xie was a little confused. This place was like a prison cage. There was not even a ladder. The ceiling was about ten meters high. Even if he turned into a frog, he couldn't jump up it: "Can we still get out?"

Zhang Qiling looked at him with deep eyes. After a long time, he said calmly: "If you can open the mechanism for the first time, you can open it for the second time."

Wu Xie nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.The question now is how to trigger this mechanism so that the iron ladder will appear.Wu Xie touched the wall, it was cold, it didn't feel like cement, but——

"Is this iron?" Wu Xie asked back.

"Ah."

It doesn’t matter if the ladder is made of iron, but the walls are also made of iron. What’s the use of laying a layer of iron in a good house?Wu Xie stretched out her finger and tapped lightly, making a heavy sound, no, this iron is not just on the surface, the entire wall is made of iron!

"This wall..." Wu Xie was surprised.

"It's all iron, including the ones on the ground." Zhang Qiling continued.

Wu Xie understood instantly: "You mean, the cement on the outside is just a shell, and the inside is all iron?"

"Ah."

Now Wu Xie understands that iron is different from bricks and tiles. Iron does not need to be supported by load-bearing things, so the variability of the building is greatly increased, but... wait, the ladder just now is also made of iron. Could it be that this mechanism How it works is...

"Is this iron wall not one piece?" Wu Xie asked tentatively.

Zhang Qiling was noncommittal, turned his head and asked, "Do you know moving puzzles?"

"Moving puzzle?" Wu Xie thought for a while, moving puzzle is a kind of puzzle game, also called Hua Rongdao, Wu Xie played it when he was a child.It is a whole piece of jigsaw puzzle, divide it into nine pieces, 16 yuan, or more, take out one piece, and then mess up all the remaining parts, and then find a way to use the gap of the extra piece in the limited space, To complete the restoration of the jigsaw puzzle.

"You mean, this house itself is a large jigsaw puzzle, and the iron ladder just now is also a part of it?" Wu Xie quickly understood Zhang Qiling's meaning, and then felt shocked. If this is the case, then this mechanism must Only a person with a large brain capacity can design it.

Zhang Qiling nodded: "It's not one part, it's three parts."

"The iron ladder is divided into three parts? But I didn't feel it at all. Who designed this mechanism is impossible." Wu Xie shook his head, a little in disbelief, "Completing a flat moving puzzle is already very difficult Well, it’s not only three-dimensional, it’s also so big, and most importantly, it’s connected so perfectly, not only is there no sound, there’s not even a gap..."

"There is no absolute in everything." Zhang Qiling said lightly, stood up and began to grope around.

Wu Xie paused, and suddenly thought of another question: "If that's the case, how do you explain the doors and windows of this house?"

"It's not difficult," Zhang Qiling glanced at him, "Even if there is more than one gap, the number is certain. Since the wall can move, it is too easy to deal with ordinary camouflage."

Wu Xie suddenly remembered that when he was a child, every time he climbed the window to play, he would be scolded by his elders.So it seems that the third uncle has always known that there is a problem with this house, and he must be afraid of being discovered, so he is forbidden to approach.

"Aren't there many gaps in this house?" Wu Xie asked, at least one window must have a gap.

"I don't know about it before, but this mechanism was remodeled by later people. So far, I only found one, and the others have all been blocked." Zhang Qiling said.

"Is that the door on the roof where I came down?" Wu Xie understood that the floor and walls of this room can be moved, because the surrounding movement cannot be seen clearly in the dark, so he mistakenly thought that the floor disappeared, but in fact it was just This organ is working.

"When the fat man knocked on the door just now, were you inside?" Wu Xie asked again.

"That's the sound of the mechanism operating," Zhang Qiling replied, "Some panels can be controlled at the gate."

"Have you come in?" Wu Xie was very surprised, no matter how he looked at it, he knew too much.

Zhang Qiling shook his head: "When I chased them last time, I chased them here."

"Oh." Wu Xie looked at him. Sure enough, this stuffy oil bottle knew a lot from the beginning, but he didn't tell him anything. It was really uninteresting. Wu Xie thought about it and said: "But...Three Why did uncle make the house like this?"

"The specific reason is still unclear, but the purpose of designing these organs must be to hide the secrets here." After speaking, Zhang Qiling squatted down, stretched out two strangely long fingers, and stuck them to the ground.

"Secret?" Wu Xie glanced at the file bag in his hand, the corners were yellowed, and the old ones were fluffed up. It was estimated to be some years ago: "Is it the thing in your hand?"

Zhang Qiling looked at the portfolio: "I only know that this is what Zhang Haixing is looking for."

"What's inside?" Wu Xie asked.

Zhang Qiling didn't speak, and concentrated on stroking the floor with his fingers, not knowing what he was doing.Curious, Wu Xie also squatted down, touched the floor, it was cold, and withdrew her hand, Wu Xie couldn't help frowning: "Why is the floor so cold?

Zhang Qiling shook his head, expressing that he was also puzzled.

"By the way, where is Zhang Haixing?" Wu Xie suddenly thought.

"If there is no accident, she will come here soon." After finishing speaking, Zhang Qiling glanced at Wu Xie.

Wu Xie was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Zhang Qiling was warning him, and hurriedly raised his hands: "I won't cause you any trouble, if you can't beat me, run away, never try to be brave."

Zhang Qiling didn't speak, just shook his head silently.

Looking at him, Wu Xie was a little puzzled.

"Run!" Zhang Qiling suddenly frowned.

"What's the meaning--"

"Don't talk, listen!" The words just asked were interrupted, and at the same time, Zhang Qiling moved his finger, and the miner's lamp was extinguished, and the originally unlit space instantly returned to darkness.

Suddenly there was a strange "da da" sound overhead.

"Come on."

Before he could react, he felt his collar being grabbed by someone, and then his body was lifted into the air. Wu Xie's hands were cold, and then he realized that what he was holding was the iron ladder that had just disappeared.

"Go up quickly." Zhang Qiling ordered.

Unable to see anything in the darkness, Wu Xie instinctively began to climb up. After climbing two steps, he felt something was wrong. The iron ladder was actually moving!

"Brother, hurry up, this iron ladder is moving." Wu Xie said as he climbed, the strange thing is, there was no response from below, Wu Xie was taken aback, this Poker Bottle didn't jump up, did it?

"Brother—" Wu Xie stopped climbing and shouted down.

"Next." The voice of the oil bottle came from the ground. Just as the words fell, a paper object flew into his arms. Wu Xie clamped it with his hand, took it out and touched it. This is the file in Zhang Qiling's hand. bag, with his residual temperature on it.

"What are you doing for me?" Wu Xie shouted. The direction of the iron ladder is upwards. Although I can't see it, but listening to the sound, the iron ladder is at least two or three meters above the ground. If this stuffy bottle doesn't come up, even if he No matter how good your skills are, you can't jump up.

"Everything you want to know is in the file bag." Zhang Qiling's faint voice came, but Wu Xie felt a little broken. What exactly does this guy want to do?

"What about you?" Wu Xie was a little anxious, and shouted to the bottom, "Come up quickly."

Wu Xie has a feeling that this stuffy oil bottle has something to hide from him!Inexplicably, he began to panic.

"I can't go up." Zhang Qiling's tone was very light.

"What did you say?" Wu Xie was startled.

The iron ladder was still slowly rising, and it was already very close to the ceiling. Wu Xie lay motionless on the iron ladder, desperately looking down with her head down, waiting for that person to suddenly appear by her side like before.

The sound of "da da" continued, and the floor on one side also began to slide. This time Wu Xie clearly heard the sound of the floor sliding.

"Brother..." Wu Xie widened his eyes and tried to find the figure of Poker Face, but he couldn't see anything in the dark.

The floor turned and closed little by little, Wu Xie was in a hurry, and hurriedly blocked it with his hand, but the floor didn't appreciate it.At this moment, the people underground suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said a word as if they were relieved.

"Sorry, Wu Xie."

Wu Xie was confused, sorry?sorry for what?A strong bad premonition instantly filled the whole body.

"What did you say?" Wu Xie yelled: "What the hell are you talking about? What happened?"

The voice echoed in the empty basement, but no familiar breath could be heard.

"Hey--"

"elder brother--"

"say something--"

"Hey—" The uneasiness in my heart became more and more serious, the power of the mechanism was very strong, and my hands were basically like a mantis arm, Wu Xie slapped the gap and shouted, watching it gradually shrinking weakly.

"..."
