“Quick, everyone! Come over here!” Zhu Shu, who was touching a wall, exclaimed in surprise, “The temperature over here is different!”
Yu Yaqing walked over, raised her hand to feel it, then touched the wall next to it, her voice resonating in the silence, “The bricks here are warmer and drier, there must be a space behind it.”
Su Man squatted down, swept away the straw at the root of the wall, and declared out loud, “The bricks are loose.”
The women quickly squatted down to pry at the bricks.
Hu Ya momentarily felt awkward.
Bai Youwei glanced at her disinterestedly, and said, “It’s completely normal for me to look down on you.”
Hu Ya:
Layer by layer, the loose bricks were removed, revealing a faint glow from within.
Yu Yaqing then pounded on it fiercely, causing a ring of bricks to collapse! A square passage capable of accommodating an adult had revealed itself in the dungeon wall.
The passage was deep and seemed to lead upwards; the inner wall bore scratch marks and splotches of blood, along with strands of hair and broken nails. It looked like a chute for dumping corpses.
As for why it was blocked, no one knew.
Maybe it was simply to dupe their eyes.Visitt nov𝒆lbin(.)c𝒐/m for the l𝒂test updates
Yu Yaqing wrapped the hindering wedding dress skirt around her waist, bent down to crawl into the passage, and said, “Hu Ya, follow me.”
Hu Ya hesitated a little.
No one knew where the passage led, and anything could happen.
Perhaps they might see Zhao Lanfen’s brutal death, or find a trace of Bluebeard himself. And if the monster went mad again, wouldn’t they be walking into a trap?
She was at a loss as to how to persuade Yu Yaqing, who was always firm in her actions…
“I’ll go with you.”
Suddenly, Su Man spoke.
She also tied the wedding dress skirt around her waist, disregarding whether it looked graceful or not, and followed Yu Yaqing into the passage.
Yu Yaqing inside frowned, “Your hand is injured, you won’t be able to move easily in the passage.”
“I’ve been resting all night, my hand is fine now as long as you don’t twist my wrist like last time,” the usually serious Su Man self-mockingly quipped.
Thinking about what had happened, Su Man still felt slightly bitter. She had never lost a battle among women, but to her surprise, the one to defeat her was Yu Yaqing.
“You follow behind me, but keep your distance. In case something happens to me, slide down immediately, inform the others at the bottom, and seal off the passage. Then think of another way, ” Yu Yaqing instructed.
Su Man nodded.
The two of them entered the passage one after the other, leaving the remaining four women waiting below.
The air in the passage differed from the gloominess of the basement; it was warm.
The higher Yu Yaqing went, the hotter it felt. Sweating profusely, her crawling elbows and knees began to slip.
She held her breath, becoming more cautious with every move.
Behind her, Su Man, as if sensing something, also slowed down.
Finally, they reached the end of the passage.
Something unknown had blocked it.
Yu Yaqing cautiously reached out to touch it; it was made of metal and a bit hot, but not enough to cause a burn, it was still within the limits of what she could endure.
She went closer to listen, but didn’t hear anything.
She then deliberately knocked on the metal to probe if there was any movement beyond.
Still, there was no sound.
Yu Yaqing torn off the skirt wrapped around her waist, layered it over her hand several times, and then pressed against the metallic object at the end of the passage, pushing it forcefully!
Squeak
The metal made a cringing, ear-piercing noise as it scraped the floor, and a heavy stench of blood assaulted their noses!
At last, the view beyond the passage was revealed to Yu Yaqing, who covered her mouth and nose in shock, staring wide-eyed. It was beyond words!
A sight drenched in blood, to put it mildly.
Everywhere she saw, it was bloody red! Gory! Ancient torture racks lined the room, their surfaces covered in dried, solidified blood, bearing witness to countless silent screams of tormented souls!
