373 Mermaid Laboratory 15

At night, the institute gradually quieted down, and the corridor changed from a busy crowd to empty.

The originally bright lights dimmed, and the darkness gradually approached from the end of the corridor. From a distance, it seemed as if a fierce beast opened its gluttonous mouth, quietly waiting for its prey to fall into its trap.

Glasses rubbed his chilly arms, and shrank his neck and said, "Do you think it's a little cold around you?"

Xia Chi: "It's not cold."

Glasses: "What is that?"

Xia Chi also rubbed the goose bumps on his body: "It's scary."

"If you think about it, during the daytime, there is still a lot of people here. There is an endless stream of pedestrians and they are busy. At night, all the people are gone. When there is a sharp contrast between the day and the night, the night looks especially scary."

Glasses looked around shrinkingly: "I know what you're talking about, it's the most obvious in the school. During the day there are dark students, and at night there is no one, it's dark and gloomy. I used to have Once I landed on something in the school, it was dark when I went back to look for it, and there was no one in the school, so I walked quietly in the dark corridor. When I was about to reach the door of the classroom, my flashlight shone in front of me, Suddenly I saw a dark shadow in the corridor..."

"Ahhhhh!" Xia Chi's trembling hand suddenly clenched the wrist of his glasses, suppressing his voice and screaming in a low voice.

The glasses were already in the terrifying memory, but Xia Chi suddenly came here, the whole person jumped visibly, and also screamed, "Ah, ah, ah, what is your name, you don't want to scare yourself. People, people will scare people to death!"

Xia Chi's eyes were full of horror. He stretched out his trembling fingers and pointed to the depths of the dark corridor, "No, it's not. When you were talking about campus life just now, I happened to see a figure passing by."

Glasses' expression suddenly stiffened, "You, you, don't scare me, I'm timid, don't be scared, it's not fun at all."

Xia Chi's body is about to hang on his glasses, "I, I, I don't, I really see... just a black shadow, and there seems to be something heavy dragging behind him, that thing is deposited, it looks like... ... looks like a person."

"..." Glasses and Xia Chi looked at each other and hugged at the same time, "Ahhhh! There are ghosts!!! There are zombies!! So scary!"

Xia Chi: "Brother, brother, save me, save me, woo woo."

The man in the suit didn't change his expression, he just stood by the side and silently looked at the two of them, "..."

"Xia Chi, are you calling me?" A calm and clear voice came from not far behind them, Xia Chi looked back tremblingly, and when he saw the figure of the man, he instantly jumped off his glasses. The body is strong and flexible and hangs on the person who comes, "Brother, brother, woo woo woo, you finally came to pick me up, there are ghosts here, all ghosts in this research institute."

Bai Lixin, who waited for them on the negative first floor and waited for a long time before finally came out to find someone: "..."

You are so frightened that I don't know how to comfort you for a while.

After thinking for two seconds, Bai Lixin asked, "Did you see something?"

Xia Chi raised his head from Bailishin's shoulder, revealing a pair of watery black eyes that were wronged.

After hearing this, Bai Lixin looked into the depths of the corridor, his eyes filled with inquiry: "Do you mean to say that you saw a figure dragging another person across the corridor?"

Xia Chi nodded vigorously, and was infected by Bai Lixin's calm expression, Xia Chi's sense of fear was instantly reduced a lot, and people followed suit, "Yes, the place where he disappeared is at the wall, but there is only one place there. The wall, if it is solid, how can it pass through? So it must be the ghost that has not escaped, woo woo woo.”

Bai Lixin patted Xia Chi's back soothingly, and those crystal clear eyes in the darkness flickered, looking straight into the depths of the corridor, "There is also a possibility that what you see is not necessarily a ghost. , but there is a secret room inside the wall."

Xia Chi was stunned.

Glasses and Lin Xiao also looked over.

Bai Lixin: "I went to the data room for a chance before, and I made a very strange discovery. Since it is an institute, there should be a room for special experiments, and there should be a lot of experimental equipment. But this In the research institute, there is really only a pile of data in the data room. Where are the beds? Where are the instruments? Where are they? At that time, I guessed that the research institute was not as simple as it seemed, and there should be hidden secrets.”

"Xia Chi, you have done a great job."

"It seems that I have to rely on you to find things. You are awesome. Can you find other more specific discoveries?"

The little teenager Xia Chi gradually lost himself in the praise of his idol brother. He stood beside Bai Lixin in an instant, patted his chest and said seriously, "Of course, brother! Who am I? A good teammate entrusted to me, as long as it is what I am looking for, there is nothing I can’t find, just watch my performance!”

Bai Lixin smiled: "Xia Chi, it's nice to have you."

Xia Chi blushed, and immediately scratched his head in embarrassment.

A flash of inspiration: "..."

Nasty, destroy it.

Bai Lixin: "But we have other tasks today. I found the entrance to the sewer. Just now I asked you to come to the first floor to find me, but you haven't come, so I will come up to find you. We will investigate first tonight. sewer?"

As a diehard fan of Bai Lixin, Bai Lixin said that if he went east, Xia Chi would never look west.

He nodded immediately and walked forward with high fighting spirit: "Okay brother, let's go!"

The glasses and the man in the suit looked at each other: "..."

Fear comes and goes like a tornado.

There was still some light on the ground, but when it reached the ground floor, there was no light at all, and the dark corridor could only be illuminated by their flashlights.

There was silence all around, only the sound of their footsteps and the occasional flushing sound could be heard.

After arriving in this environment, the encouragement buff on Xia Chi's head has completely stopped. He sticks to Bai Lixin again, and asks in a low voice: "Brother, haven't you arrived yet?"

Bai Lixin: "It's almost time, come with me."

They walked down the dark corridor for a few minutes and stopped in front of a humble door.

Xia Chi curiously looked at the tattered rusted iron door and asked, "Where is this?"

Bai Lixin skillfully opened the door, and as he pushed the door, the iron door made a "squeaky" rubbing sound: "This is the dormitory where I lived before this character was set up, come in, the entrance to the sewer is here."

Xia Chi: "???"

There was a strong smell in the room, mixed with musty and fishy odors.

Bai Lixin entered the room and clasped his hand on the wall, and the originally dim room was instantly shrouded in dim light.

The room is not big, and the messy things are piled all over the floor. It is not so much a dormitory that it is better to use a storage room. A few people squeezed together to find a place to stay.

Xia Chi looked around, the room was still narrow, there was only one hall, and the bed and a bunch of things were all piled up in the hall. Next to the hall, there was a narrow doorway that could only accommodate one person. It seemed that it was the washroom.

The bed is a metal bed that goes all the way to the ground, but it doesn't look like a good quality bed. The bed has long been rusted by the high concentration of salt and alkali, and he can smell the rust from a distance. .

At this point, the bed has been moved away, revealing the part of the ground hidden under the bed.

Because the bed surface has not been moved for a long time, there are obvious rectangular traces on the ground. In the very center of this rectangle is an old black metal lid.

Xia Chi stared at the circular sewer cover and said speechlessly: "The entrance to the sewer is in the cleaner NPC's room?"

Who can imagine this?

Bai Lixin: "I just came here

Ben stayed here for one night and found that the sound of running water was too loud. The sound came not from the bathroom, but from right under the bed. After that, I used the tracker to track the process of water flowing into the sewer, and found that every time I reached the negative layer, the location where the water flowed was just where the entrance to the sewer was found. "

"The entrances to the sewers are all blocked with metal from the outside. They can only be opened from here. It is difficult to open from the inside of the sewers. I guess it may be that the people in the institute are afraid of mermaids getting in from the sewers."

After saying this, Bai Lixin stopped.

In fact, he only said half of this sentence, the sewers are firmly locked, is it really a mermaid who is afraid? Or some other monster they don't know about yet?

The name of this dungeon is called "Special Species Laboratory", not "Mermaid Laboratory". After they entered the dungeon, they discovered that all the mermaids were being studied here, so they preconceived that "special species" was "mermaid".

The mermaid was caught in the last two years, but the decoration and usage traces of this laboratory show that the age of the room is much higher than two years, and it seems that there are 20 years of history.

What did this institute study before studying merman?

But this is just his guess. Before he got the exact answer, he temporarily hid the guess in the bottom of his heart.

It's not that they can't say it, but they are afraid to scare Xia Chi and the others.

The crowd was crowded into the cramped and narrow room, and Bailishin glanced at them and continued: "We need someone to stay on it, and we need to return quickly once there is a situation. I have studied this cover, but I don't know what it is. Made of material, once it’s closed, it can’t be opened from the inside.”

"Otherwise, I'll stay." In a quiet room, a voice as thin as a mosquito rang out. When everyone looked at them, they saw the glasses raised their hands tied up, and he said embarrassedly: " I'm a little afraid of the dark, or else you go down, and I'll be there to guard."

Bai Lixin nodded: "Okay, let us know in the group chat if there is any situation."

The glasses quickly responded, "Okay Xin Shen, no problem Xin Shen."

They opened the cover of the sewer from the outside, revealing a deep dark ditch. Xia Chi lit the flashlight down and saw a rusted metal staircase.

Not sure what was in the sewer, before going down, Bai Lixin instructed the glasses again: "After we leave, you can close the lid, and we will send you a message to open the lid before you can open it. Besides, no matter what

The glasses were a little flustered for a moment, and he asked cautiously: "What is no matter what?

A question suddenly made Xia Chi also stand up.

Bai Lixin: "Don't scare yourself, I know that I'm afraid that the staff of the research institute will be down there. If you don't open the password, won't it be exposed?"

In fact, he planned to go down by himself in the afternoon, but after discovering the strange structure of the sewer and what might exist in it, he temporarily gave up this plan.

He suddenly remembered the first day here. In addition to the sound of running water that night, he also seemed to hear the water mixed in the running water.

other voices in . But the sound of running water was so loud that it covered the strange sound inside, and I couldn't tell what it was.
