Chapter 572 Ten-Minute Deadline

This is the first time that Tongguan has entered the fourth underground floor.

The World Heritage Museum, from the outside, really looks like a giant Rubik's Cube.

As an oblique hexahedron, it has an additional negative fourth floor at the bottom as storage space.

Therefore, the fourth underground floor is the most special place in the entire museum.

It is the smallest and the most unfamiliar.

Tongguan does not have a structural diagram of the fourth underground floor, but just entering it and wandering around will make you realize one thing.

The layout here makes the best use of small storage space.

Compared with the urgency and panic when Ding Wangshu entered this place, Tongguan engraved the route with a rational mind.

After a simple exploration, I got some layout information in my mind.

After entering from the entrance, a long and dark passage is divided into three forks.

The leftmost is the rest area and some sundries area for internal personnel; the middle is the museum's operation area; the rightmost is the access to the collection warehouse.

The reason why it feels confused.

First, there is almost no light here, and it is all illuminated by flashlights, which confuses the sense of space;

Second, these three areas are connected in all directions, and it is very easy to lose direction without a structural diagram.

This simple structure, Tongguan came to a conclusion after a little observation.

But this is not the key. The purpose of his coming here is to find Fang Shenyan and confirm something.

Although his disgust for Fang Shenyan is getting worse and worse, after all, he is now on a mission and he is responsible for the safety of the rest of the team members.

With this mentality, Tongguan went to the warehouse area after integrating the layout in his mind.

According to Ding Wangshu's recollection, she ran eastward in the employee area and saw Feng Jiafu's body after turning seven or eight times.

Then Feng Jiafu's body would not be in the employee area, but in the operation area and warehouse area.

Calculating the time she ran, Tongguan believes that the location of Feng Jiafu's body is most likely in the warehouse area.

Just from this place of death, it can be seen that Feng Jiafu's death is probably closely related to the skin bag.

Tongguan's face became colder and colder. He walked in the dark passage. In his ears, there was endless loneliness except for the sound of footsteps.

The face of Feng Jiafu when they parted appeared in his mind from time to time.

If Tongguan could have stopped him properly or changed the plan at that time, perhaps everything would not have ended like this.

The ghost did not appear.

Tongguan was very fast. After eliminating the detour, he found the place of the incident in a short time.

Feng Jiafu's body lay quietly in front of him.

The strong light of the flashlight shone on his body, reflecting a faint fluorescence, which was caused by the bone residue.

This man who had been chatting with Tongguan about daily life on the wall outside the museum died so lightly and casually.

The powerful force of the ghost crushed his weight of more than 70 kilograms into a piece of skin that could be blown away by the wind.

While Tongguan was grieving, he moved the flashlight slightly to the left side of Feng Jiafu's body.

There was a set of dark blue work clothes.

It is noteworthy that this set of work clothes is also like being crushed by a heavy object, tightly attached to the ground, as if embedded in it.

But except for this piece of clothes, the human skin and bone residue are missing.

But even so, it has already explained a fact.

There are two bodies here, one is a clerk, and the other is a staff member on duty at the museum.

Ding Wangshu only saw Feng Jiafu, because she was so frightened at the time that she dared not look inside.

Now Tongguan came here in person and immediately saw this strange "corpse".

This involves a novel conjecture that Feng Jiafu proposed before the start of a mission:

There is a high probability that there are staff members inside the museum!

Tongguan looked back and forth between the two bodies with his eyes like torches, thinking in his heart.

These two simple bodies, on the surface, look nothing, but they reveal an abnormality.

Judging from the way they died, Feng Jiafu and the staff were both killed by "Stephanie's Smile".

Regardless of why the staff's human skin disappeared.

As one of the ghosts of the painting gallery, it killed a total of four people.

The bald man, the strange girl, Feng Jiafu and the staff.

The death of the first two people made the painting museum have nine exhibition halls.

This is in line with Tongguan's guess about the basic rules of this mission.

But the situation of the two people who died later seems to be different...

After killing these two people, "Stephanie's Smile" has never appeared again.

Its killing activities seem to have stopped? !

In fact, Tongguan has to come to this underground fourth floor once in a while.

As the most powerful ghost in the entire museum, it has been too quiet since the beginning of the mission.

It's so quiet that it seems that it has never existed...

Because everything about "Stephanie's Smile" came from Fang Shenyan's mouth.

Except for him, no one has ever seen this ghost.

Therefore, Tongguan wants to ensure the identity of "Stephanie's Smile" as one of the central axes, he must come to see and ask.

From the current situation, this ghost seems to exist, he has seen it.

So now, he has to find Fang Shenyan to ask.

But where is Fang Shenyan?

"Stephanie's Smile" disappeared, and Fang Shenyan seemed to have disappeared as well.

What happened to this man and this ghost?

Tongguan gradually raised his head. He looked at the passage that continued forward, passed Feng Jiafu's body, and walked deeper.

Going further inside, the scene didn't change much, except that the flashlight in his hand suddenly went out.

At the same time, Tongguan, a senior clerk, felt an atmosphere that was completely opposite to the silence.

A faint ghostly energy...

It seemed as if something had sealed the supernatural power, but the ghost was too powerful, causing the aura to leak out.

Tongguan's spirit perked up. This supernatural aura that appeared for no reason came from the collection warehouse in front!

For this reason, he started running, and with blurred vision, he ran all the way towards the door of the collection warehouse.

The door of the collection warehouse appeared in front of him, and he could not see anything clearly in the darkness.

But in the darkness, this door shimmered with a silvery light that was too faint to be detected.

When his palm touched it, Tongguan felt a sense of coldness and closure.

"The door is locked..."

Before the phantom ghost appeared, he had spoken with Feng Jiafu. At that time, Fang Shenyan had already led him to try to crack the warehouse door.

This kind of security-level protective door cannot be opened without a specific method.

But Tongguan didn't believe that Fang Shenyan failed, because the bodies of the staff were not far away.

So Fang Shenyan must have opened the door, so is he inside the door?

Immediately afterwards, Tongguan received confirmation. The cover on the combination lock that opened the door was flipped open, and there was still a vague tactile feeling on it.

This shows that someone pressed the password with a wet palm not long ago.

Tongguan's eyes suddenly froze, and he couldn't help but take two steps back, already having suspicions in his mind.

"Could it be that the current door is locked from the inside?"

"Zizzizi..."

At this moment, the sound of voice reconnection suddenly came from Tongguan's headset.

A man with a deep voice finally made contact with Tongguan through a wireless headset.

"Tongguan, you came later than I thought..."

This voice seemed to be in a position with poor signal. It was affected by the current when speaking, and it was intermittently, and even the timbre changed.

But Tongguan immediately recognized that this was Fang Shenyan, whom he had lost contact with for a long time!

"Are you trapped in the collection warehouse?"

"To be precise, I sealed myself here."

Tongguan's eyes flashed, he was a little surprised by this answer, and asked subconsciously:

"In the end what happened?"

"That painting is more powerful than I imagined. I sealed it with me, otherwise everyone will die.

Do what you think is right and this mission will be over after solving the mystery of space. "

Fang Shenyan's voice became softer and softer, but the interference from the current became more serious, making it almost impossible to hear clearly.

Tongguan read these words carefully. There were too many doubts to explain, but he had to confirm one thing.

So he asked word for word:

"Are you still Fang Shenyan?"

"I will still be Fang Shenyan in ten minutes, if you can't find me in ten minutes.

I will turn into a ghost and everyone will die. "
