[Comprehensive] Sherlock's Secret

The place where she apparated was far away from the hotel, and when she came out, she told Sherlock that she had eaten too much food and wanted to go out for a walk, now it was only an hour before she left, she walked back slowly, returned to the hotel and went upstairs Sherlock's room - his door was ajar and he appeared to be on the phone.

She had already walked by, but she blamed herself for being too sharp - she heard Sherlock mention her name.

Her footsteps paused for a moment, and she still raised her hand to open the door of her room—"Su?"

"What's wrong?" She turned around and frowned, "You're smoking again."

Sherlock said noncommittally: "I have something to do with you."

Su Fu took two steps to his side and raised his chin—because he was too tall, he had to look up: "Cigarettes and lighters."

Sherlock snorted softly, ignoring her.

Su Fu clasped his shoulders, forced him to turn around, reached into his pocket, took out the cigarette case and lighter, took them away, and then threw them into his pocket with no expression on his face.

He didn't refute.

"what's up?"

"Mine - leave tomorrow morning, you need to prepare something."

"It's no problem." Su Fu agreed and thought to himself, what am I going to do, just bring the magic wand and keep an eye on you 23333333.

……

In the early morning of the next day, the two of them set off after breakfast. The guide was a retired postman in the small town. Because of work, he used to go up to Carlox Mountain to deliver letters and packages to the workers in the mine. It was quite clear that it would be a good idea to ask him to be a guide.

If it wasn't for Sherlock's generous reward, he wouldn't be willing to take them up Mount Carlox—because of the recent shocking rumors, everyone was skeptical at the beginning, but later it was spread It was amazing, and it was true that someone went in and never came out again, so this legend was confirmed.

The guide was an uncle with a sparse maroon beard, red nose, and deep eye sockets. He was wearing a gray jacket and canvas pants. He looked a little funny. He told Su Fu and Sherlock about himself along the way. Knowledge about a mine and an insight into something.

"This is a copper mine—it was discovered in 1972, and then the Murdochland Company sent people to mine here, and many young people went to work in the Le Mine because the pay was good—of course you can't find these people now, Accidents are easy in the mines, and they are too old to let people know that they have worked in the mines...

But Hebein's copper mines are not as rich as those capitalists expected. After more than ten years of mining, the copper mines have been mined-I clearly remember that they brought the most advanced equipment to the deep underground in the past six months. Exploration, but the results disappointed them.

So the Murdochland Company withdrew, and the mined mine has always existed, and it has become a holy place for children in the city to explore and play games-although adults are always reluctant for them to go there.

But a year ago, two 13-year-old young people went into the cave to explore without their parents on their backs, and they never came back. Later, their parents went to find them, and they actually..."

The guide swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if he still had lingering fears in his heart, "—it didn't even come out! Later, a few people went in, but they never came back... This incident became more and more serious, and the police station had to send people to the mine. seal it.

Just a few days before you came, because your wife and children disappeared into that cave, Lynn, the famous strong sailor, also went in. Of course... after so many days, he didn't come back. "

"It's really creepy," he ends, shuddering figuratively.

As he spoke, he glanced suspiciously at Sherlock and Su Fu, who were walking side by side, as if he couldn't understand why these two young men insisted on going down to the mine, even though there were already rumors in the city, and some people did go in I never came back again, so why do these two silly roe deer have to go in?

Thinking of this, his eyes became a little weird, revealing a kind of pity that "you look normal at a young age, why are you stupid and going to die?"

Su Fu: "..."

Of course Sherlock didn't take it seriously, and Su Fu felt that he seemed to be climbing the mountain pretty well.

The mine was at the foot of the shady mountain, and they had to go around half the hillside and trek for nearly an hour before they finally arrived at the entrance of the treacherous mine.

There are a few stone poles erected here, with barbed wire netting on them, as if to isolate people who intend to go in and investigate, but in fact it doesn't have any effect. People with long legs like Sherlock can step over in one step.

When the guide walked not far from the entrance of the cave, he stopped and refused to go any further, and emphasized in a false tone: "I only promise to take you up the mountain, I, I... I won't go in!"

Sherlock raised his legs and stepped into the isolation zone, without turning his head, he said, "No one wants you to go in, go down the mountain."

The guide shook his head helplessly, turned and left.

Su Fu also stepped inside, and carefully looked at the dark mine entrance—in stark contrast to the bright sunlight outside the cave.

Sherlock took out the flashlight and turned it on, a beam of bright white light merged into the unknown darkness. He wrinkled the corners of his eyes, as if he was smiling, but he didn't smile, it was just that...he was quite excited.

"Su, the adventure begins—"

……

The mine is actually not very spacious.

And it's all downhill, which is very difficult to walk.

Stepping on the slippery and sticky gravel under the feet, the mine car track is shining dark and cold under the weak white light of the flashlight. There was a rustling sound, the sound of the dripping water flowing on the dome in the distance, and the sound of Sherlock's gentle breathing as he walked in front.

They walked along the mine road for about ten minutes, and their eyes suddenly opened up.

There is a very wide area here, and the flashlight can't even shine on the stone wall. Su Fu walked straight in one direction and touched the hard and cold barrier. When the flashlight shined on it, he could still clearly see the traces of history left on it.

There are several discarded iron picks piled up under the stone wall, and the rotten snakeskin bags have grown dark green fungus and moss due to dampness, and some scattered copper scraps, indicating that this place was once a copper mine.

"This way." Sherlock called her, and the light of the flashlight shone through, illuminating three forks in the road.

Each of them is unfathomable, and there is an abandoned small mine cart parked at one of the mouths, the wheels are crooked, and I don't know how many years it has been crooked here.

Sherlock explored the three forks one by one, and finally pointed to the one on the left: "Go here."

Su Fu shook the compass, but for some reason it seemed to be out of order, so she put her right hand into her pocket and clenched her wand tightly.

The mine was still as quiet as death, only the sound of their footsteps rubbing against the gravel, so that Su Fu felt that when the light of the flashlight fell in the darkness, it seemed to make a sound.

But the so-called ghost screams in the rumors have never been heard before.

"There's nothing here..."

Su Fu muttered something, and while walking, he played the flashlight in other corners.

"It is said that it is seven thousand feet deep here." Sherlock said.

Su Fu was surprised: "It's so deep? Then the mountain should be dug right through... To be honest, it's easy to landslide like this."

They continued to walk forward, the mine road gradually widened, and several small tunnels branched out from one road, some of which were installed with rails like the main road, while others were so narrow that only one person could pass through, and they meandered like snakes. At the end, and some just dug a shallow hole.

"Seperately find—"

"no!"

Su Fu spoke out almost at the same time as Sherlock.

"Why?" Sherlock asked, frowning.

With a straight face, Su Fu tried to make his tone sound serious: "There may be danger here, I'm afraid, you have to protect me."

Sherlock: "..."

Su Fu felt that he might have rolled his eyes, and then said sarcastically, "Go this way first, and follow me—to ensure your safety."

Su Fu: "..."

She followed in two steps, and entered the narrow tunnel together with Sherlock.

After walking for a certain distance, she suddenly felt that this path might be formed naturally - but she did not expect that this artificially dug mine cave was connected with a natural erosion cave. The strangely shaped cliffs and various potholes, naturally formed rock platforms and abrupt and uneven steps make people have to marvel at the magic of nature.

Su Fu touched the stone wall—it was dry and hard, indicating that the cave should have been formed for many years. The place may have experienced seawater intrusion or changes in the groundwater level, but no matter what, when the water tide receded, it left an amazing underground cave. cave.

"I said... are we in the wrong place? There's no—"

She stopped talking abruptly.

Because the sound of breathing that had been accompanying her was gone.

I don't know why the stone rolled in the corner, but it returned to silence in an instant, and the cold stagnant air in the ground was flowing slowly, as if there was nothing that could not be submerged in time.

"Sherlock—"

She called out tentatively.

There was no response for two seconds.

She raised her voice, "Sherlock!"

The flashlight flickered around, leaving a few white shadows on the pitch-black stone wall, and she immediately turned around and backed away: "Sherlock——"

He yelled several times in a row, and the voice echoed endlessly in the empty cave, but there was still no response from even the slightest sound.

Obviously - he was still behind him just now, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye? !
