Chapter 183 The mysterious space

At this moment, Carol was leaning against the wall, wringing out the wet hem of her windbreaker. They had been in this space for more than 12 hours.

He took out his pocket watch and looked at it, but he didn't dare to confirm that the time on the watch was correct, because behind the door of Room 1408 of the Containment Department was a distorted space.

The first few people entered the room and were connected to a corridor. There was nothing wrong with the corridor, and the smell was the same as that of the shelter outside, the smell of cheap disinfectant.

The light is normal, and even the lampshades of the surrounding wall lamps are the same as those outside.

The sound, the sound...

Carol tilted her head to listen and could still hear the monotonous "ticking" sound. Apart from that, the entire space was silent.

Before coming here, Carol and the members of the Brave Team actually made preparations in many aspects. After all, this is the containment department, which houses deformed humans, unknown creatures, and some extremely dangerous ancient relics.

So everyone loaded their weapons, and held various occult-related supplies and ancient relics in their hands, but after pushing open the door, they were greeted by an empty corridor.

DeLorean reminded Carol that the layout here was exactly the same as that in the containment unit, except that almost all the furniture in the corridors and rooms had been moved away.

There were only five or six rooms with a chair or a coat rack, standing alone in the middle.

Carol's team is equipped with a number of think tank investigators.

One of the female investigators, Dale, was a former senior biologist. She collected some hair from a chair.

"Wommi hair, Carol. Including the hair from Novel Ke just now, this is the fourth clump of hair from a deformed creature."

Carol clenched his fists. In fact, if they were left to face these clan monsters alone, Carol would not be so nervous. But what was giving him a headache now was that he knew the monsters were trapped in the space just like him, but he didn't know where they were hiding exactly.

Maybe those disgusting dog-headed savages were hiding in the next room or around the corner of the corridor, waiting to ambush him with their crude homemade weapons.

"Carol, didn't the Minister describe to you the specific appearance of the box you were looking for?"

Carol raised his right hand, and on his little finger was a dull sapphire ring.

"She said that when I approached the box, the ring would show me the way."

While they were talking, Dolores carefully examined the carpet. There were obvious marks of heavy objects on the dirty camel-colored carpet, proving that the furniture had been placed here not long ago. There were also many stains on the surrounding cream-colored wallpaper, which were traces of long-term human habitation.

Carol led a few people carefully through the corridor and arrived at the central lobby area of ​​the Containment Department. Like the Investigation Department, the internal structure of the Containment Department basically retained most of the characteristics of public buildings at that time.

The first thing you see when you enter the door is the public hall. There is a service desk in the center of the hall, and two public corridors meander on both sides. Behind the service desk and upstairs are the specific office areas.

Carol led the team towards the gate. This space could no longer be understood by common sense. As an investigator, Carol was curious about what was waiting for them outside the gate.

As expected, after pushing open the door, they did not see the familiar street. Instead, what appeared before their eyes was a narrow and cramped staircase leading downwards. The surrounding walls were gray and flat, and there was a chilling sense of abruptness at the door leading to the Investigation Department.

Fortunately, the corridor was still bright, with kerosene lamps hanging all around. DeLorean suggested that Carol take one down from the wall, firstly to prepare for emergencies, and secondly to do a test to see if the kerosene in the lamp would burn out over time.

After walking down dozens of steps, everyone arrived at the bottom, which turned out to be a public bathroom. This type of bathroom is not uncommon in New New Lent. It is said that it was introduced to Moses Sad along with the Saint's Sect hundreds of years ago. Brick and stone chairs and public sinks are located on both sides. It must be said that even in New New Lent, this bathroom is one of the largest of its size. However, just like the Investigation Department above, the bathroom lacks decorations and necessary furniture.

Delorean carefully turned on the faucet, and even light green water flowed out.

Dai'er carefully took a drop and smelled it.

"Carol, it's similar to the water in New Nurent, with a faint smell of copper."

"Keep going."

Carol turned her head and looked at the expressions of the crowd. Except for a few experienced investigators such as DeLorean, the rest of the people were obviously nervous, with worry in their eyes.

Although previous investigation missions were full of risks and mysteries, everyone at least had a clear investigation goal, whether it was to find a certain item or to extract information from people, at least they had a target in mind. But now they were in such an open environment, with some unpredictable dangers hidden all around, making everyone nervous.

"Guys, cheer up and stay in line. I'll be in charge of exploring the way."

Carol has two most obvious advantages. One is his bravery and fearlessness, and the other is his ability to maintain a leadership temperament that is rare even in the military during missions.

No one spoke, but just nodded at him. In this environment, if you don't speak for a long time, you will feel that any sound you make will be so abrupt and unnatural.

After passing the bathing area, everyone came to a huge water reservoir. The size of this pool was about the same as the hall outside. The water filled very slowly. An undercurrent coming from somewhere underwater pushed the water surface to shake slightly, and from time to time, water splashed out from the side above the bank.

Although there were dozens of lights providing lighting around the reservoir, looking down from the shore, the water surface was still pitch black and it was impossible to see what was happening at the bottom of the pool.

"Delolin, prepare the ropes, weapons, and ancient relics. I'll go down and take a look."

If the captain was not Carol, they might have turned back by now, but Carol possessed courage and determination that ordinary people could hardly match.

DeLorean knew him, so he found a rope and tied it around him, then turned around and talked to the other team members about the support arrangements.

After completing the preparations, Carol took off his leather shoes and jumped into the water. The water temperature was higher than he thought, so his body would not freeze quickly. He tried his best to dive with a weapon for close combat in his hand. To his surprise, there seemed to be another light source underwater. After barely opening his eyes, he could see a few meters away.

Seven or eight shadows stood in the water, evenly spaced, each in a cylindrical shape, about as thick as two people could hug together. Were they stone pillars? Or were they some kind of creature?

Just as Carol was about to surface and swim towards the cylinder, a scream suddenly came from the water above his head. It was the first time Carol had heard such a high-decibel sound in several hours. Even his heart tightened, and he quickly swam back to the surface.

DeLorean and the others pulled him up, only to see a short male investigator pointing behind them and saying in a trembling voice:

"The monster, a giant red-eyed upright rabbit, was behind us, its hands deformed like a spider, its fangs gleaming in its misshapen mouth."

There are still 7 days to go until the National Day. Come on, everyone. I wonder how you plan to spend the National Day, play games or go traveling? I guess I won’t go out this year. I will stay at home and write and accompany my daughter.

Today's fun is here, I hope everyone will laugh.
