Daily life of civil servants in the prefectural government

"crunch-"

The key turned in the keyhole and made a jerky friction sound. The lock cylinder inside seemed to be rusted. I tried my best to twist it until my fingers turned red before I managed to turn it a few points.

A disciple from Longhu Mountain who volunteered to open the lock was blushing. He took a deep breath and twisted the big iron lock like a weight, and the rust flew all over the place.Standing behind him, No. [-] couldn't stand it anymore, and stretched out his hand to quickly twist the key.

"Crack..." The iron lock finally opened, but the key was also broken.

The Longhushan disciple held the key handle that was half left in his hand, his face changed from red to white for a while, and finally he pursed his lips and silently put the key handle into his arms, stepped aside and did not speak.

No. [-] stood there in a daze, looked at Su Xiyan, who had unfriendly eyes, and He Han, who was covering his face with a headache, walked carefully to the disciple and said, "I'm sorry".

Su Xiyan asked him to stay beside He Han and the others, not to make trouble.

The key and the iron lock were already old, and he didn't let Cui Zhao and No. [-] do it because he was afraid that they would be broken if they were twisted too hard.I didn't expect to escape the fact that it was broken in the end, but at least the lock was opened.

The iron lock was put aside, Su Xiyan took the doorknob and pulled it hard, but it didn't pull as expected.The iron gate seemed to have grown together with the wall, and it took a lot of effort to pull it open.

Su Xiyan took a closer look, confirmed that the doorknob was quite strong, and turned around to let Dali Cui Zhao go out.

Accompanied by a tooth-piercing creaking sound, the iron door that had blocked them for about half an hour was finally pulled open.Dull air with a strange rusty smell gushed out, and people stepped aside tacitly, and tentatively shone the flashlight in after the air inside had exchanged a part.

Almost everyone present was carrying a mobile phone, and everyone turned on the flashlight to shine in, and the whole picture of the whole room appeared in front of them indistinctly.

The layout of the room is messy and dirty, all kinds of wrapping papers and empty bottles are discarded in a mess on the ground, and there is even a quilt that is randomly rolled and thrown not far from the front door. It seems that there was once a person living here Pass.

No, not alone.

The light of the flashlight shifted slightly, and Su Xiyan saw a few narrow small board beds placed on the inner side of the room. They were so close to the ground that they could almost roll from one bed to another by turning over.Their area is also extremely small, barely allowing a grown man to lie on them.

There were also messy quilts discarded on the bed, and they were put together with the uneaten food, giving off an unpleasant smell of corruption.

The brown-red blood stained the wall in messy traces, reflecting an ominous feeling under the light of the flashlight.After a little closer, I found that there were thin scratches among the red marks, and the five lines gradually went down in different shades, which seemed to be left by someone in an extremely painful situation.

Rather than saying that this is a refuge, it is better to say that this is actually a closed prison.

Desperate people are imprisoned here, and even with food and clean water, they gradually become crazy and desperate.This room is filled with a feeling of madness and resentment. The unwilling resentment lingers in this room when a person dies, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Su Xiyan squinted his eyes and looked around. The strong Yin Qi greatly hindered his sight. In this room, he seemed to be walking in Beijing's smoggy sky, and he could not see anything a few meters away.

"Be careful."

Cui Zhao found out that something was wrong with him, so he stretched out his hand and pulled him to his side.He didn't know where he put the tissue that Su Xiyan gave him, and he was so choked that his eyes were red and he didn't want to close his sense of smell.

Su Xiyan rubbed her eyes, and quietly closed her yin and yang eyes, but she didn't break free from Cui Zhao's hand, and was just quietly led around the room by him.

The people from Longhushan and Beastmaster Sect were divided into three groups, some of them stayed in this room to search like them, and two groups went to open the door next door.But Su Xiyan and the others didn't take the lead, and the other disciples were ordered not to rush in. There is so much yin in here, if another ghost appears, it will be bloody again.

Surprisingly, they haven't seen a single ghost so far.Not only were there no ghosts, but no bones were even found.

There was still such a heavy iron lock hanging on the outside of the iron door, and the inside of the room was also a mess.There should be no way for them to escape from here, so where did the bones of the dead go?

Someone yelled softly, and they rummaged through a corner and found something.That strange, high-padded chair.Above the chair, there is an iron round helmet-like thing, with countless wires hanging quietly from top to bottom, which looks like jellyfish floating in the deep sea.

At the end of the wire, there is also an arc-shaped, button-sized electrode-like thing connected.This is a very weird old instrument, it looks a little funny, but everyone who knows it feels a chill from the heart.

This is the same electric chair that was used in the old days to treat the mentally ill with electroshock therapy.

The chair fell on the ground, wrapped in a thin sheet and thrown in a corner with a lot of household garbage, so they didn't notice it when they entered the door.

Su Xiyan took a few steps closer, and there were circles of leather restraint belts wrapped around the chair, which should be used to bind the patients so that they cannot leave.The straps and the handles of the chair were covered with painful scratches and streaks of beige, and in a few places there were tiny fragments of fingernails embedded in them.

This is a chair full of blood and tears of patients.

Its legs were crooked, and the sides seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and a piece was dented.Probably the last person in the room didn't want to see it, so it was wrapped up and hidden in a corner.

Su Xiyan also discovered a strange phenomenon, the deep resentment pervading the room did not intend to approach this chair.As if deterred by the bloody smell contained on it, they shallowly surrounded it, not daring to approach it.

The two rooms next door have also been opened. In the storage room, there are several large iron shelves densely packed with all kinds of food and equipment. The food has been corroded clean, but there is still something useful to be found in the equipment.

For example, a broom or something can sweep the dust on the ground, so that they don't feel the dust on the ground to search for it.

There was nothing in the lounge, as if it had been robbed by something, nothing was left behind.Cui Zhao found some wood chips in the corner of the rest room, and a black scale the size of an adult's palm, with sharp edges that can separate the skin with a light stroke.

Seeing that piece of scales, everyone couldn't help beating their hearts.

If this is the lair of the big snake, then their current state is even more dangerous.If they encountered a big snake in such a narrow place, their combat effectiveness would be reduced by at least [-]%, and they could easily be cornered.

With courage, he jumped out a few legs and ran nimbly, followed Cui Zhao in for a circle.The big snake can come in, there must be a hole that allows him to go in and out, as long as he finds them, there is a way to get out of here.

With such good expectations, they searched almost every place in the room, but they still couldn't find a place to get out.Zhang Qizhong and a disciple who was good at mechanisms were almost blind when looking in the room, but they didn't find any special mechanisms.

Until the news came from the next door, saying that there was a new discovery, a group of people rushed back again.

Cui Zhao walked last. He thought for a while and threw the scale he found back at the door. Under the light of the flashlight, he could vaguely see some scratches on it.

When he was walking back, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Looking back, the empty passage was gloomy, and he couldn't feel anything unusual.

He looked ahead suspiciously, the light bulb hanging over there was shaking slightly, as if being blown by a breeze.But where does the breeze come from in this almost closed passage?

Cui Zhao took a few steps forward, and suddenly heard someone shouting behind him.

"Cui Zhao."

Su Xiyan turned out from the iron gate and looked at him suspiciously.

"Have you found anything?"

"No, maybe it's just dizziness." Cui Zhao reached out and touched the edge of the light bulb, and then quickly withdrew his hand.

"We found something here, come and take a look." Su Xiyan turned back without thinking too much.

The so-called discovery is actually the trace that Cui Zhao poked out before.There is a round hole branded on the iron door, which directly leads from the outside to the inside of the door, and the two sides are unimpeded.

Su Xiyan stretched out his hand, and indeed passed through the hole easily.The thickness of the iron gate is only about five or six centimeters, so why wasn't it pierced before?

Assuming it was because there was another thing that was tightly attached behind the iron door before, where is that thing now?

A group of people wandered around the room, trying to find something that had Cui Zhao's fingerprints on it.Su Xiyan noticed that there seemed to be something stuck in the crack of the iron door.

Stretching out his hand, he pulled it out with difficulty, wiped off the dust on it, and opened it, and found that it was a thin piece of paper, which was folded into a ball and stuffed in the crack of the door.There are also various patterns and a bust of the school principal printed on it. If you look closely, there are all bragging words about this online ring school.

This should be a leaflet for this school.

At the bottom of the paper, there was a sticky black substance, which hadn't dried off yet, and it smelled strangely with a faint fragrance.

"What is this?"

Su Xiyan stretched out her hand curiously to twist it, and looked down, and found that the black substance was flowing out of the crack in the door, and the end of the crack was connected to the wall.He reached out and tapped lightly, and it sounded softly with a hollow echo.

Su Xiyan's expression changed, and she immediately raised her head to call for her companions.

"Cui Zhao, it's empty inside."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Cui Zhao rushing over with a sudden change of expression.He fell into a warm embrace, then rolled over on the ground while being held tightly.

"boom!"

The sound of heavy objects falling rang in his ears, shaking the ground slightly.

Something fell from the door.

Su Xiyan raised his head from Cui Zhao's arms, his breathing was slightly stagnant, and his pupils instantly shrank because of surprise.

"So it is."
