How to raise Dazai gently

Chapter 39 The Golden House

"Dig a hole somewhere else?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also suggested dryly.

"When they made the secret room for hiding gold, they probably hollowed out the interior of the island first, made a space with materials, and then poured metal water into it. After the metal water cooled, an integrated secret room was created like this. .”

Osamu Dazai shook his head and said, guessing from the fact that Nakahara was unable to open the entrance cover just now.

This way of making a treasure chamber is unheard of. Just thinking about the manpower and material resources that will be spent, as well as the ingenious thoughts and skills contained in it, is enough to make people silently sigh the greatness of human beings.

Of course, from another point of view, it is no wonder that the last emperor Nicholas II was overthrown by an angry mass uprising after spending so much effort and money to hide gold. Those who are superior can only end up being pierced by a bullet or hanging from a street lamp.

"Then what should we do?" Zhong Yuanzhong also frowned, "Could it be that we have to find a combination lock?"

"Chuya was smart once in a while." Dazai Osamu laughed, he rubbed near the entrance, and said in his mouth: "Since they reserved the entrance, they must also reserve a way to open the mechanism. "

This time it was Nakahara Chuya who found the password mechanism box. It was covered with barnacles and seaweed for a long time. It took a lot of effort to open the lid of the password mechanism box. It was Zhongyuan Zhongya who manipulated gravity to open it. Yes, this time it went very smoothly. The password mechanism that I had seen in the secret room in Kasaka Kiichi's study appeared again in this place.

Nicholas II probably used Kiichi Kasaka, who made the Egg of Memories, on this treasure land. After all, Kiichi Kasaka's skills are impeccable.

After Osamu Dazai inspected it, he confirmed that the password mechanism box was still working, and the next question was the password.

"I need to enter the password." Osamu Dazai stared at the familiar password box, his brain running rapidly.

What will be the password?Long live the double-headed eagle?Or is the Romanov dynasty immortal?

Osamu Dazai went through the password that rulers like to use in his mind, but after trying it once but failing to open the entrance, he quickly stopped.

Osamu Dazai always felt that there was something he hadn't discovered yet. He calmly went through everything he saw when he was looking for the entrance to the secret room just now, crushing and analyzing it.

"—I see!" Dazai Osamu let out a breath and smiled.

If other treasure hunters followed other clues to this disappearing island, they would probably be at a loss for this integrated coded entrance mechanism.

It cannot be disassembled, and there is no way to brute force it. The final result can only be nothing.

Kasaka Kiichi is indeed a magician at the end of the century. I am afraid that Nicholas II, who set up this password at the beginning, knew about his relationship with his daughter—who would have thought that Maria would be taken away safely in the end, and finally lived incognito? Only this craftsman from the Far East?

Nicholas II didn't think of it, so those treasure hunters who don't know the inside story of history would never think of it.

This cipher is very simple, but in a sense it is the most difficult to crack.

But Dazai Osamu and Araki Kongyo were lucky enough to have been to Kasaka Kiichi’s castle, and also knew the password of his study—the magician at the end of the century.

Osamu Dazai converted the term "magician at the end of the century" into Russian, and then typed the long string of letters on the slightly sluggish password keys.

There was a dull vibrating sound from under the entrance that was not moving at all. It should be the sound of a mechanism that has not been activated for many years. It didn't take long for the entrance that was poured into the entire secret room to open the way to visitors.

This secret room buried in the sea, which had not seen the sun for many years, finally shone with the sun.

The entrance that only allowed one person to pass through looked dark and deep. Osamu Dazai thought for a while, then turned to Nakahara Chuya and said, "You wait for us outside, and if you see suspicious ships, sink them."

Osamu Dazai considered that the secret room was poured in one piece, and the gravity of Nakahara Chuya was not very useful, but Araki Kongshi's words were more flexible and changeable. Furthermore, Osamu Dazai also had to consider Dostoevsky It is a reasonable decision to put the more lethal Zhongyuanzhong outside on guard.

"I leave my safety to you, Xiao Kongshi." Dazai Osamu's voice was soft and quick, he grabbed the edge of the entrance cover, and carefully poked down.

The height from the entrance to the stepped ground below is about 1.8 meters to two meters. The air inside is not as turbid as he expected, but this is also what he expected. If they escaped, they would probably come to the entire island by boat. In order to take the gold away as soon as possible, they should have set up a ventilation mechanism from the beginning.

The space where Osamu Dazai is located is not big, roughly a square space of [-] cubic meters, but the place illuminated by the flashlight is full of blue walls, without any shadow of gold at all.

Osamu Dazai's heart sank, and the idea of ​​someone taking the gold before him flashed involuntarily, and the most likely candidate was Dostoevsky, who also made him feel extremely troublesome. , who else?

Araki Kongyo also jumped in over the edge of the entrance, and was startled when he saw the empty secret room.

Just like what Osamu Dazai thought at first, Araki Kongyo's first reaction was that someone had already taken the gold away first?But what he said next brought Osamu Dazai back to his senses: "This should be a space to prevent the leakage of the entrance mechanism outside and allow the seawater to pour in. There should be a mechanism leading to a deeper place."

Now it seems like a treasure hunt, Osamu Dazai rubbed his hair, and let out a breath of foul air: "Well, I'm here to look for it too."

Although this space looks small, it is actually very spacious to explore. Fortunately, they all brought their tools before coming here. Otherwise, in this space where there is no other lighting except for the sunlight shining in from the entrance, they can only take a look. Blind, and it is extremely easy to miss the hidden cipher box.

The cipher box was finally found under the feet. After opening, it was the same device as the cipher box outside. The cipher was also a magician at the end of the century. After pressing the correct cipher, the spacious space shook and seemed to have no gaps. The floor of the building recedes from the left third towards the wall, revealing the winding staircase hidden below.

Not all the entrances below the ground are entrances. Except for the road, the others are all gray-black metal that has been poured tightly and firmly. It looks very thick. This is probably to prevent someone from violently cracking it, or when sea water pours in. Destroy the gold stored below.

Holding a flashlight, Osamu Dazai walked down the damp steps, with Araki Kongyo walking behind him, always on guard for possible threats.

The downward staircase is winding and winding, as if it is as long as going down from this staircase to hell. Whether you look to the left or right, the place where the flashlight can shine seems to be empty, and the stepping on the foot The steps are sticky and wet, and it's hard not to think of something horrible and bloody.

In such an atmosphere, it is easy for people to tense up. If you don’t pay attention, you may slip down the narrow stairs to the bottom of the unknown depth—especially when Osamu Dazai is still at the corner of a certain floor. I saw yellow and white skeletons everywhere, lying on the steps in a horrified manner, as if I saw something terrifying and wanted to escape from here, but before I could escape, I died quietly.

However, Araki Kongshi and Dazai Osamu are not ordinary people. Faced with this scene that only appears in horror movies, they communicated: "This should be poison gas. In order to prevent leaks, all the workers who made it were poisoned to death. .”

This is also a common situation among feudal rulers. For these superiors, these workers are just a group of tools. After being drained of value, they can be discarded at will.

"If you follow this line of thinking...Kiichi Kasaka was not killed, and he was even able to marry Maria. I'm afraid I have to thank the uprising revolution for making Nicholas II too busy to take care of himself."

Araki Kongyo looked at these poor workers, he didn't feel pity or sympathy, he just thought that human beings are quite cruel creatures, and they can betray their own kind without hesitation and take their lives.

Will his Dazai become like this?

Even if he absorbs his own spores and becomes a descendant of his own blood, the 'root' of Osamu Dazai still belongs to humans, right?

I don't know if it was affected by this human body, but Araki Kongshi didn't realize that his thinking had become more and more biased. According to his group of similar people, I'm afraid it would be summarized as "Dr. Gan, you It's weird" category.

This secret room gets bigger as you go down. The previous speculation is correct. The whole secret room is built under the mountain and extends all the way to the bottom of the sea. Although it has been protected against moisture and water, the moisture still seeps through after years of immersion. Come in, that's why the walls and steps inside look muddy and wet.

They walked down for a long time, and they didn't encounter any strange things along the way. At the end of the stairway, there was a door, which was also inlaid with a code machine box.

Looking at the almost two-meter-high thick door, even Osamu Dazai's heart beat faster for a few seconds.

The stone gate, which had not been moved for several years, slid to both sides, and at the same time, the rattling earthquake dropped choking dust.

The two waited for a long time until the dusty sky that had been sleeping for a long time was completely quiet before passing through the stone gate full of flying dust.

Osamu Dazai illuminated the surrounding area with a flashlight, but the space inside was inexplicably cramped, and it came to an end within a short distance.

Araki Sora took a step forward, raised his hand and lightly stroked the wall in front of him, with light flowing in his eyes: "There is something behind this."

The black-haired teenager opened his lips, and soon the gray wall blocking their sight collapsed and turned into fly ash and scattered at their feet.

How would you describe what you saw?Even Dazai Osamu, who is in charge of the port mafia and who knows how many billions will flow in his hands, is briefly absent-minded when he sees the huge gold that is so crude and simple that it hits the soul directly.

In addition to the deep love of human beings for this metal, there is also admiration for the extent to which human beings can be ingenious.

I don’t know how the bright gold that is almost two people’s height is preserved. It has not been corroded and oxidized by moisture, and still shows a bright orange-yellow shining color. The most amazing thing is that these golds are not only It's just that the rigid gold nuggets were piled up behind the wall, but they were poured into a gold train with everything fine!

This gold train faces the visiting guests, and the front section of the locomotive is carved with a majestic double-headed eagle, which proves that this is indeed the lost gold of the Romanov dynasty that countless people covet.

The front section of the locomotive was inlaid with a large piece of glass, allowing Dazai Osamu and Araki Kongyo who were holding flashlights to clearly see the structure behind the glass.

The cockpit in the locomotive is actually made of gold, and even the joysticks and various pull rods are made extremely delicate, as if as long as you open the door and enter, you can turn this gold ship made in a one-to-one ratio. Like a train going out.

Osamu Dazai groped for a while on the locomotive sticking out of the wall, and soon found the hidden door—of course the door is also made of gold, but the connection seems to use other precious metals, so that it can be opened freely. The Golden Gate is not so easy to pull down.

Stepping on the stairs made of gold at the bottom, you enter the open door. As expected, everything from the ceiling to the wall to the floor is made of gold, and only the cockpit chair has two thick cushions.

Just this car front, apart from the value of its own gold, its artistic value may be astonishingly high, not to mention that it is a handicraft of the Romanov dynasty.

"Since there is a locomotive... then there should be carriages behind."

The two looked at the door in the center of the back of the cockpit. They looked at each other and walked forward tacitly.

The door opened easily, and as expected, there were still carriages at the rear of the locomotive. When the door of the first carriage was opened, the golden nuggets that filled the carriages almost immediately made people salivate and heart beat faster. .

These gold nuggets were placed neatly in the carriage, leaving only a corridor enough for one person to pass through.

These gold nuggets are stacked very horizontally, and they will not shake and collapse when people walk by. On the contrary, they are extremely solid. If you look closely, these gold nuggets are built using topological structures. Only the gold brick that finds the node Pull it out to get the other gold nuggets out.

Osamu Dazai had expected the gold nuggets in the carriage, so he didn't show any gaffe, but his breathing became slightly heavier.

The footsteps of the two involuntarily accelerated, and they walked for a while before reaching the end of the carriage.

At the end of this golden carriage, a door was found as expected, and the second carriage was connected behind the door.

Is there anything behind here besides this?

This time Osamu Dazai couldn't help rolling his throat.

Proceeding forward from the corridor in the center of the carriage, after the gold nuggets piled up in the first carriage like nouveau riche, there are countless glass showcases, all kinds of castles and castles made of sterling silver. puppet!

No one expected that there was so much silver in the place where gold was supposed to be stored!But if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising. Although Tsarist Russia was famous for its extremely high gold reserves, it does not mean that other precious metals do not exist. It is just that the high reserves of gold nuggets are too amazing. .

In the German-style castle that is almost as tall as a person, you can even see those sterling silver dolls about half the height of your palm dressed in extravagant clothes, making various poses and expressions, standing in front of the castle. throughout.

Looking at the space in the castle and the puppets sitting in the ballroom inside, maybe this sterling silver castle is the same as this golden train, and the doors and furniture inside can be moved.

In addition to the sterling silver castle, there are also lifelike animal statues made of sterling silver, majestic soldiers with guns on their right shoulders, battleships and planes that are also clearly visible on the side, and slightly rough workmanship, which seems to be ordinary people. The sterling silver portraits of them are either leading the cows, or pushing the carts, or driving the horses, looking very busy.

The sterling silver sculptures displayed here are like a small Tsarist Russian society, standing quietly on the display rack.

This is undoubtedly a display of human wisdom and skill, and even Araki Kongshi admired it.

It is of course very simple for him to make these things, but it must take countless painstaking efforts for a weak human being to carve something with such precision. Shining and moving.

Osamu Dazai let out a long breath, calmed down his beating heart, pulled Araki Kongshi whose eyes were still glued to these sterling silver products, and walked towards the next carriage.

The third car is filled with dazzling and luxurious jewelry, crowns, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, belts and shawls made entirely of precious stones.

These are the jewels that were searched and exploited under the Romanov dynasty for hundreds of years. The top jewelry craftsmen serve the royal family, and naturally only the top products can be favored by the royal family.

Those crystal-clear gemstones shone with the light, and the heavy sense of history fell in front of Dazai Osamu and Araki Kongyo through several years of time.

"Now I kind of understand why so many people want to be treasure hunters."

Osamu Dazai let out a mouthful of foul air and murmured.

Puzzle solving and exploration are just a process. What they are looking forward to is the excitement and excitement of opening these mysterious treasures one by one, and then seeing clearly what those gleaming treasures look like.

It's a pity that both Osamu Dazai and Karaki Araki were not qualified treasure hunters. One of them simply admired the ingenious craftsmanship of human beings, while the other quickly thought about how to use this huge wealth after recovering.

It's just that they originally thought that this was the last carriage, but Araki Kongyo found a secret door hidden at the end of this carriage.

Is there more behind this?After seeing the countless gold nuggets, exquisite silver works of art, and dazzling jewelry, it is really hard to imagine what kind of treasures are hidden here.

The secret door and the pattern carved on the wall are perfectly integrated. If Araki Kongshi hadn't discovered it, they might have overlooked the last carriage.

Compared with the visual impact, exquisite art, and wealth and luxury in the front, the last carriage looks warm and peaceful.

If you look out from the closed window, you will find that the last carriage is not actually a carriage, but a golden house!

Different from the previous simple and unsophisticated carriages, not only the outer shell, but also the inside reveals all kinds of ingenuity of the creators, whether it is the patterns carved on the walls and high ceilings, or placed in the room. , a large bed made of gold, silver, and various jewels, dressing cabinets, clothes racks, and washstands all revealed to people that this should be a place where a distinguished nobleman should live.

And there are still decayed dresses on the hangers. Judging from the remaining parts, they should be very gorgeous and various dresses.

Osamu Dazai was thoughtful: "I am afraid that the legend that Nicholas II loves his daughter is not false."

If the gold nuggets in the first compartment were kept as equivalents, then the silver products in the second compartment, the jewelry in the third compartment, and the gold house in the fourth compartment were probably reserved for his daughters.

Silver products are toys that girls like, jewelry is jewelry for dressing up, and the gold house is a place for living and resting. The delicacy is in sharp contrast with the previous few cars.

This golden train is everything here, but the huge treasure contained in it is far beyond Dazai Osamu's expectation.

"It's a bit troublesome now..."

Originally, he thought that there was only gold. If it was only gold, it would be melted and recast. Coupled with the prestige of the port mafia, no one would investigate too much how the gold came from, but if you add the ingenious silver The carvings, the extravagant jewelry, and this last golden house made Osamu Dazai feel tricky.

Although he could melt down all the carvings and recast them, dismantle those jewels and sell them separately or redesign them, but if it was so simple and rude, it would be too violent—even if Osamu Dazai was not Russian , Thinking that these works of art would be destroyed and destroyed, regret and intolerance also emerged in my heart.

However, how to deal with this batch of treasures is a matter for later. The important thing now is how to get this heavy and long gold train out of the secret room.

At this time, Araki Kongyo turned around and walked back to the cockpit of the locomotive. After a brief inspection, he said to Osamu Dazai: "This train can be started."

I don't know how rich the Tsarist Russian royal family was at that time. The supernatural beings under his command could actually run the train made of gold. The energy is placed in the cockpit box, which is like honeycomb coal It is a stone with a bright blue body.

Even if he got such an artifact as the 'book', Osamu Dazai never thought that he would be able to drive a golden train one day.

When it comes to scheming people's hearts, there are probably only a handful of people who can compare with Osamu Dazai, but when it comes to agencies, Osamu Dazai is no match for the Araki Kongshi around him.
