Chapter 348: Basement (Monthly Ticket Adds More Updates!!!)
Yu Yaqing pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, let's go to the basement again."
After the six women finished their lunch, they packed up and went to the basement together.
There are no lights in the basement of the manor.
Each of them took a candlestick for lighting, and when they got below, they used the candle flame to light the torch hanging on the wall.
The basement was cold and dark, with a damp and cold stone wall on one side and an iron cage on the other.
I don't know what was imprisoned in the cage, maybe it was a person, maybe it was an animal. There were some dry straw scattered around inside, but there was nothing else.
There were quite a few things placed against the iron bars of the cage. Just like Yu Yaqing said, as soon as empty wine bottles, broken tin cans, and rotten wooden boxes are opened, a strong musty smell and dust will hit your face, which is choking.
Continue walking along the long row of cages.
Go to the end.
Bai Youwei stopped in front of the door of the last cage and said, "Come here and see if you can open it."
Su Man stepped forward and pulled the lock on the door, then looked up at them: "It's locked."
Although the cage in front was also closed, it was not locked. It was just hung loosely on the door together with the chain, and it opened with a push.
Unexpectedly, the last room was locked.
Yu Yaqing opened his eyes unexpectedly and subconsciously looked at Hu Ya and Cheng Qian beside him.
Hu Ya and Cheng Qian also looked stunned and murmured: "They have obviously been checked..."
When Yu Yaqing brought people down, at first, every cell was indeed searched carefully, but when the search went to the back, some cells would be passed over at a glance. After all, even if you don't go in, standing outside the iron railings, you can clearly see what's going on inside. .
Coupled with the dim lighting and gloomy environment, more than a hundred cages intensified their psychological fatigue and tension——
For various reasons, they failed to discover the abnormality in the last cage.
Yu Yaqing couldn't help but ask Bai Youwei: "How are you sure there is something wrong with this cage?"
Bai Youwei has been sitting in a wheelchair and has never even touched the cage. Why did she discover the abnormality faster than them?
"Because this is the 129th cage." Bai Youwei explained calmly, "I have been counting since I came in. There must be something wrong with the extra cage, but it may not be the last one. We are lucky to be able to find it now. "
luck?
Yu Yaqing never believed in luck, she only believed in strength.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Bai Youwei in the wheelchair, and said, "You have played many games."
The tone was firm.
Bai Youwei glanced at her and did not deny it, "Well, I have played a lot, and I know some of the tricks in the game better than you."
Not showing off, not showing off, just stating the facts.
No one knew what to say.
The silence lasted for a while, and Yu Yaqing said: "I hope you found the right one."
She turned around and walked away, calling at the same time: "Hu Ya, follow me to find something to unlock."
Hu Ya held up the candlestick and hurriedly followed Yu Yaqing.
——There is a room upstairs that displays various weapon collections, including saddles, armor, swords, crossbows, and everything.
The two found some machetes and axes, and returned to the basement to open the lock.
Six women walked inside.
…
The last cage is like the others.
There was nothing but a mess of straw on the ground.
"What... He looks down on others and looks down on others. It's not like he guessed wrong and made us work in vain." Hu Ya complained in a low voice.
She didn't like Bai Youwei. He was obviously a cripple and needed to rely on others to survive, but he didn't know how to read people's eyes at all. He put on a condescending air and ignored everyone.
Not as good as Cheng Qian.
At least Cheng Qian knew that things were different now, and she spoke and acted honestly.
