Daily life of civil servants in the prefectural government

The tattered hard-board beds have all been removed and folded up, freeing up a lot of space. Su Xiyan squatted by the corner and slowly groped along the dusty ground.

In the situation where everyone was silent and did not speak, the sharp sense of hearing collected all the sounds in the room and quietly amplified them.

The sound of the soles rubbing against the ground, people's deep panting, and the creaking sound of the mechanism running slowly in the wall closest to him.

The walls shrink inward and close together. This kind of mechanism is not uncommon in tombs. It is generally used in tomb passages. The use of sharp spikes to trap poisonous smoke can often make most tomb robbers never come back.But this kind of mechanism that shrinks the entire room on both sides and drives the people inside to a desperate situation is very rare.

If you can draw a 3D animation, you can find that in fact, only one wall is moving. That wall should be slightly shorter than the other walls, and it can fit into the rectangle described by the three walls.

When that wall moves inward, the change in the whole room is that the width of the rectangle becomes smaller and smaller until the two walls are tightly glued together, and then they are also caught in meat sauce.

This kind of mechanism requires a very precise operating mechanism, and the space it occupies will be very large, that is to say, the moving wall must be solid behind the two walls that are in contact with it, and it will be a pile of crunching and rotating iron blocks and wood when knocked open. .

The only place where there might be a passage is the wall that has never moved, and the ground.

Zhang Qizhong and the others went to study the wall, leaving a small group of people to follow Su Xiyan to grope around on the ground, trying to discover some other mechanism structures.

According to the calculation results, there is still about half an hour before the wall has backlogged them into patties.They needed to find a way to get out of here within half an hour, otherwise even Cui Zhao would not be able to save everyone's lives in such a large institution.

Unless he blasts the place to pieces, this is really not a good choice. No one knows what kind of attack they will withstand if they forcefully break through the wall.

Su Xiyan knew better that Cui Zhao didn't really want to change back to his original form after entering here, probably because there was something here that made him feel uneasy.He said a long time ago that they'd better evacuate this place as soon as possible, but now...

I'm afraid it has already been dark and windy outside, and the stars are dotted.The group of people who came in, including He Han who stayed outside, were all dragged into this school, which was really enough to catch them all.

Su Xiyan thought about how the people outside would jump up in a hurry when they heard the news that all of them were missing, and couldn't help but smile with his lips curled up, a bit of a bit of a bittersweet joke.

The dust on his hands was mixed with some unknown things, and it was sticky and disgusting to the touch.Su Xiyan couldn't help but wanted to take out the broom in the corner and clean all these things, but the urgent situation now obviously couldn't make him entangled in these problems.

Fortunately, the ground has been roughly cleaned before, and all the household garbage has been thrown away, otherwise...

Wait, Su Xiyan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and immediately jumped up.He jumped so suddenly that the person standing behind him was caught off guard by him, and his head hit his chin, and he touched his own head in pain.

"Why are you jumping around?" Cui Zhao hugged him into his arms and gently rubbed his head, "Does it hurt?"

Su Xiyan didn't care about her sore head, she turned around and grabbed Cui Zhao's hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"I thought about it, Cui Zhao, let's go and see the crack in the wall!"

"A crack in the wall?"

Before Cui Zhao could figure it out, he was dragged to the wall by Su Xiyan, who wished he could lie down on the banner on the wall. When they saw the two of them coming, they couldn't help but look hopefully.

I don't know who designed this tomb. They have explored almost everything from the ground to the walls, but they haven't found anything.The giant dragon relief that was praised before became the focus of observation. From the scales to the head, even the pair of divine eyes were carefully inspected.

Zhang Qizhong and the others didn't say what the conclusion was, but judging from their unsightly faces, it was clear that they had gained nothing.

Su Xiyan didn't talk to them too much, he bent down and groped down the relief of the giant dragon on his own, and finally found a very thin crack about half a meter away from the wall.

The slits cannot be felt at all, and only those with very good eyes can find them by searching bit by bit deliberately.Su Xiyan immediately squeezed the broom and swept out the thin slit clearly. Looking up at the puzzled eyes of everyone, he suddenly felt an inexplicable pride.

...Probably some kind of IQ crushing pleasure?

"I've been thinking that this tomb is too gentle."

Su Xiyan snapped her fingers and went through all the things that happened after they entered here.

"There are indeed deadly things in the tomb, the relief murals with hallucinations that can arouse people's obsessions, the indelible lights that induce hallucinations, and this gradually shrinking room."

"We are locked in this place, feeling the approach of death, but there is no way to escape. It sounds terrible and cruel, but..."

"This is not in line with the expectations of those who died. They don't want anyone to disturb their peace. If they had a choice, they would directly let us, the intruders who have plans, die instead of giving us hope of survival. .Unless there is another, more terrifying thing that can kill us in this room."

"In connection with what He Han said about the strange big snake that haunts here, and these scales, I can only speculate boldly. I'm afraid this is not a tomb at all, but a snake cave."

As soon as the word "Snake Cave" fell, a huge and ferocious snake head leaped out from the corner like lightning, and with a stinky cold wind, it quickly attacked the person closest to it, which was Su Xiyan.

It rushed up so fast that Su Xiyan didn't have time to make a move even if he was prepared. The light of the talisman paper in his hand was only half bright, and the huge mouth full of sharp barbs had already reached the top of his head, about to bite him swallow.

Su Xiyan suddenly felt his body lighten. In the blink of an eye, he was already jumped up by Princess Cui Zhao, and looked at the big snake that suddenly appeared from top to bottom.

It has black scales, and the ferocious mouth that is open in anger can easily fit an adult. The sharp teeth that are shining coldly around the mouth are frightening at first glance, and there are also orange-yellow and indifferent pupils that are as big as lanterns.

This big snake is indeed an extremely ferocious beast. With him guarding the tomb, most people who enter here will be buried in Shekou, and no one will escape.

Unfortunately, it encountered a more ferocious monster than it.

Cui Zhao lightly jumped into the air with Su Xiyan in his arms, paused in the air for a while, and after leisurely choosing a best place to step down, he jumped down suddenly.Aim at the big snake's snout, that is, above its fangs, and kick it hard around the nostrils.

With a "boom", the poor big snake was kicked down by Cui Zhao.

The raised floor made a loud noise, and under everyone's gaze, it wobbled twice and turned back again.On the ground, except for the dust that had just been shaken off, there was hardly any difference, but everyone knew that a terrifying big snake just came out from under it.

The slit connected to the ground on the other side of the wall turned out to be a huge and heavy movable flap, like a movable door specially made on the door for fear that the pets at home would run out and not be able to enter the door.

It's not a mechanism, nor is it well hidden, it's just because the movable flap is too heavy, mortals like them can't flip it at all.Therefore, the only way out was also blocked, and those trapped in the room were either squeezed into meatloaf or swallowed by the big snake.

The purpose of the serial arrangement is to kill those intruders.

Bai Yueying was lifted up from the ground by one of her senior brothers, she was disheveled, her calves were still trembling slightly.When the big snake rushed out just now, she couldn't hold back and lay down on the ground. She sounded embarrassed and timid, but she couldn't control herself.

At that moment, she almost wanted to turn around and run, and then hid in the corner and screamed so hard that she didn't come out.

The terrifying and gigantic appearance of the giant snake really has a great deterrent effect on ordinary people.If it is said that Xu Xian saw the real body of the white lady like this, no wonder he was so scared that he hiccupped.

Bai Yueying twitched the corners of her mouth, admiring that she still had the heart to think about these things.

"Brother Su, what should we do now?"

All eyes were on Su Xiyan. He jumped off Cui Zhao and patted the dust on his clothes calmly.

"We now have two options, transfer to the next room through this activity panel, and then try to leave from the next room. But this method is also dangerous, because I don't know if the room over there is also blocked by such a door exit."

Su Xiyan pointed to the thick bronze door, then stretched out his legs and stomped on the moving ground.There was no movement on the heavy ground, and it was impossible to turn this piece of ground over with human strength.

"Another way is to jump down from here and find out if there is any other exit from this tomb."

"Of course, one problem that needs to be faced is the big snake. It should still be waiting for us to enter the tiger's mouth, or it is waiting to rush up again."

Speaking of this, Su Xiyan reached out and patted Cui Zhao's shoulder pretending to be serious.

"Comrade Cui Zhao, this arduous task is entrusted to you. May I ask if you can successfully complete the task?"

"No."

"A real man can't say no, no matter whether it's okay or not, he must create conditions."

Cui Zhao hilariously held Su Xiyan's slapping palms on his shoulders, and he deliberately frowned, showing a serious and embarrassed look.

"It's not a question of whether a man is a man or not, but that I really..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

A sharp cry suddenly sounded, with endless panic. When Su Xiyan felt that his feet were empty and his whole body slipped down quickly, the last thought that flashed through his mind was:

"Did the person who built this tomb use this room as a puzzle?"

A dark hole suddenly appeared at his feet, swallowing Su Xiyan whole in one gulp.Cui Zhao cursed loudly, and jumped off before the others could react.

"Crack-"

The flap at the entrance of the hole was tightly closed again.
