Chapter 622: The real cursed land?
Shangyue Cai and Shangjiang Ping walked side by side to the platform that looked like the entrance. After standing still, they found a pull rod standing in front of them.
Shangyue Cai looked back at Su Yi, stretched out her hand with a firm and decisive look, and pulled down the lever.
Along with the sound of "clacking", the sound of machinery running quietly sounded. Then, Shangyue Cai and Shangjiangping's bodies began to slowly descend, as if they were dragged into the ground by an invisible force.
After a long while, until the two of them completely disappeared, Chen Pingan's expression became very strange, and he looked at Su Yi in confusion.
Jiang Bei remained silent, but nodded slightly, as if he had understood the reason.
Although Su Yi's actions just now were puzzling, the facts were in front of us - the two NPCs, Shang Jiangping and Shang Yuecai, did go down the passage.
It seems that this guy obviously did it on purpose, retreating in order to advance!
Chen Qian looked at Su Yi with more curiosity.
Su Yi didn't care what everyone thought, but looked at Jiang Bei and said something.
"What is your mission?"
"Survive." Jiang Bei answered immediately without thinking.
Chen Qian also said: "Chen Pingan and I met in reality, and our mission is the same, which is to survive."
Su Yi nodded silently, as if to make the two of them more trusting of each other, Chen Qian did not hide the fact that she and Chen Pingan knew each other in real life.
However, survival is just the biggest common point among these games. Even if it is not, there is nothing suspicious about saying this.
But Su Yi decided to trust them for the time being.
Su Yi smiled slightly and looked at Jiang Bei: "Then... let's work together to pass the level."
Jiang Bei felt Su Yi's sudden kindness and looked at Su Yi seriously: "Of course!"
"We must get out alive!"
Red eyes, achieved!
The reason why he specifically talked to Jiang Bei was simply to make this Hongmu's curse seem more logical.
At this moment, countless thoughts of killing, as fine as silk threads, had already quietly lurked deep in Su Yi's mind.
Su Yi slowly turned his head, his eyes fell on Chen Pingan and Chen Qian, with a slight smile on his face.
"Let's work together." Chen Qian said lightly.
Su Yi nodded slightly.
When going downstairs with Jiang Bei, you must be careful and cautious. As the saying goes, you must always be on guard against others.
Although there is no harm in going down, but if I stay in that narrow and cramped place with this person, what if the other party has ulterior motives and wants to harm me secretly, I am afraid that at that time I will be helpless.
Therefore, Su Yi cannot omit such a safety measure in any case.
Seeing this, Chen Qian also nodded to Su Yi.
And Su Yi did not stare at her too much. After all, staring at her like that was too conspicuous. Besides, there seemed to be no need to use any means against them at the moment.
If they wanted to attack, they could do it at any time.
Just then, a slight noise came from underground.
Although the voice was not loud, Su Yi still vaguely heard the word "safe".
Not long after, the mechanical platform rose back up. After Jiang Bei climbed onto the platform first, Su Yi followed carefully.
There was no conversation along the way, and the two remained silent throughout, as if they were both wary of someone.
Accompanied by a dull thud...finally, it successfully reached the ground.
Su Yi knew very well that if he was on guard against Jiang Bei, then Jiang Bei was also on guard against him.
After entering the basement, Su Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised - it was extremely dark and damp here, and you could hardly see your hand in front of you.
However, it was not completely dark ahead. A few old and worn-out light bulbs emitted a faint yellow light, barely illuminating the surrounding space.
"Here." If Shangyue Cai hadn't made the sound, Su Yi would have had difficulty realizing that there was someone there.
"Let's go to the brighter and more open area in front first," Shang Jiangping suggested.
Su Yi sniffed the air around him hard, and a strong, pungent smell of dampness mixed with the smell of rust hit him in the face.
Could this be... the smell of blood? His heart tightened, and he walked slowly towards the area with light with the others.
As the distance got closer, the scene in front of me gradually became clearer.
This place was extremely spacious and huge, with corridors that were wider than one could imagine, and many rooms lined up on both sides. At the door of each room stood an extremely heavy iron door, and above it hung a light bulb that kept making a buzzing sound and flickering.
After a while, Chen Pingan and Chen Qian also came to the basement and walked over slowly...
"This doesn't look like a good place..." Jiang Bei shrank his neck.
"Nonsense." Chen Pingan raised his hand and prepared to push open a door in front of everyone.
All I could hear was a sharp sound of metal friction and a continuous "squeaking" sound, as if some ancient and dilapidated mechanism was slowly being started.
Chen Ping'an was trying his best to push the door open. The door seemed to have been in disrepair for a long time and made an unpleasant noise every time he pushed it.
After a lot of effort, Chen Pingan finally succeeded in pushing the door open, but there was endless darkness in front of him, like a deep black hole, which made people feel terrified.
This time, Chen Pingan did not let Shang Jiangping take the lead. Instead, he relied on the dim light and moved forward himself.
"You support me."
"Okay." Su Yi responded and followed behind and stared.
Not long after Chen Pingan entered the house, he turned around and walked out.
Seeing this, Su Yi's pupils suddenly shrank.
What is this!?
Chen Ping'an's clothes were soaked in blood! He was holding a bloody piece of meat in his hand, with some tattered pieces of cloth scattered around...
Chen Pingan looked at himself at this moment with the help of the dim candlelight, and couldn't help but frown.
"This..." Jiang Bei couldn't hold back and screamed first.
Then, he quickly covered his mouth with his hands, fearing that he would attract the attention of the ghost...
Shangyue Cai had already turned her head away, not daring to look directly at the scene in front of her.
However, Chen Qian stared at Chen Pingan without changing her expression, which showed that she had a very strong psychological endurance.
"This...what is going on?" Jiang Bei asked tremblingly.
"It's full of soft stuff inside. I just reached out and touched it." Chen Pingan answered concisely.
...Hiss, could it be that this place is full of corpses?
Thinking of this, Su Yi couldn't help but take a breath and pondered to himself.
There was a crisp "pop" sound, and it turned out that Chen Pingan threw the minced meat in his hand onto the ground.
Upon seeing this, Su Yi quickly gathered his thoughts, looked carefully, then squatted down and carefully picked up the piece of cloth that was stuck to the minced meat.
"Is this... a white shirt... a school uniform?" Su Yi muttered to himself, turning his head to look at Shang Jiangping, as if wanting to get an answer from him.
At this moment, Shangyue Cai's face had already turned as pale as paper. She covered her mouth tightly, and it looked as if she would vomit in the next moment.
Although Shang Jiangping is a policeman, bloody and horrific scenes like this are not common to him, so his condition is not much better at the moment.
His face was also extremely pale, and he said with a slightly trembling voice: "It is very likely..."
Su Yi exhaled.
In the basement... there is...
A place where corpses are piled up?
If this isn't the source of the curse, then there really is something fishy going on!
