A hunting adventure [unlimited]

In the deep and dark drainage channel, the lights drew a bright safe zone for them. Two tall and thin shadows swayed on the wall, their voices were soft but firm.

"Shall we go back the same way?" Yu Zhen asked, holding the map in his hand.

His curiosity is not as strong as his appetite, and he doesn't like to explore the unknown unless he is forced to.

Du Yu didn't think so, and suggested, "Go to the right and have a look."

"I think it's best not to." Yu Zhen folded the map that no one took over, and held it in his hand, "Since there is no picture on the map, it must be impossible to get through."

"That's not necessarily the case, it may lead to other places."

This is what Yu Zhen was afraid of. He questioned: "It leads to another place, where? Is it dangerous for us to venture deep?"

The opposition and resistance in his words are evident.Du Yu said: "I won't force you to follow, you go up and wait for me."

In reality, Yu Zhen had already turned his head and left; but the situation here is different, if Du Yu in front of him dies, this layer of dream will collapse, he will wake up or fall to the next layer, and everything will start again .

Find Du Yu again, adapt to the unfamiliar world again, and take the adventure again.

Just thinking about it made him dizzy.

To end this dream, he may not be able to complete the task, but he is even more unwilling to give up halfway.

"Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say." Yu Zhen compromised, he was always not stubborn enough.

The two stepped back to the right bank, and under the gaze of the mermaid statue's stone eyes, they turned a corner and entered the drainage channel on the right.

After walking 15 meters, the end of the secret passage that did not exist on the map was revealed.

It is like an abandoned branch road, blocked by walls of cement and bricks.But for some reason, the upper half of the wall was not cemented, and a large hole was smashed in the middle, and the gray stone bricks fell into the ditch in a disorderly manner, stacking a small stone mountain half submerged in the water .

Behind the hole is a dark space, and the light shines into it as if absorbed.

Looking at where the bricks landed, the wall was smashed from the inside.In other words, the real end of this secret passage is not here, it does lead to somewhere; and before, someone escaped from it through the wall and jumped into the sewer they were in.

That person was most likely the corpse they encountered on the road.

Yu Zhen's anxiety has increased, and he doesn't like everything being unexpected.

"No... let's go, let's go—" Du Yu turned around instantly, grabbed his hand and ran back the same way!

"Hey!" Before he could ask the reason, his body was already dragged and flew out.

The sound of hurried running "da da" filled the narrow and long tunnel, Yu Zhen was grabbed by the wrist and led to run forward, and accidentally stumbled over the skeleton leaning against the wall——

The leg bones that lost the connection of ligaments and muscles were actually kicked away by him!The human skeleton, which lost one side of its support, fell down crackling...

There was a glint of silvery light embedded in the skull, which suddenly appeared in the flickering light and shadow of the headlamp.

……what is that?

Before he could take a closer look, Yu Zhen was sprinted past by the tyrannical pulling force of his wrist.

***

After several hundred meters of sprinting, Yu Zhen's heart beat rapidly and her breathing was heavy.His throat was dry and it was difficult to swallow, and his chest was constricted and painful.

The scene in front of him made his mood sink to the bottom of the valley.

The narrow outlet where they passed through and connected to the pipe was tightly covered by a thick iron net, and the scraped red rust and scrap iron showed that it was about to fall soon.

blocked.

They couldn't get out, just like Irene Eunomia Yexiu.Sure enough, it wasn't that she hadn't thought about surviving, but that she had lost her chance, and could only lean against the corner to die and become a delicious meal for mice.

—Has anyone found them?Or an automatic ambush mechanism?In such a barren and dark sewer, there are traps?

The defense of the palace is so strict that even the underground buildings have to be controlled. When and how did they touch it?

Too many problems squeezed into his brain, oppressing to suffocate.

Du Yu immediately took off his backpack, took out the bolt cutters inside, and made a gesture to go into the water to cut the iron net.

"Don't waste your energy..." Yu Zhen dissuaded, "It's okay to cut some chains with the pliers. Such a thick steel bar can't be cut continuously."

Du Yu ignored it, jumped into the water, and stubbornly tried to cut the heavy and thick iron net.

After 10 minutes there were only a few scratches on the bars, in vain.

Yu Zhen's heartbeat basically calmed down. He took out the water in the bag, unscrewed the lid and filled half of the bottle for himself, and said to Du Yu's back, "Don't cut it, come back to replenish your strength."

He thought that Du Yu wouldn't listen, and he would definitely continue to work on the prince's temper, but he didn't expect the other party to back down and return to the shore.

Yu Zhen was still holding the bottle, not wanting Du Yu to snatch his water directly, and drank the remaining half of the bottle without hesitation.

"You have it yourself!" He said violently, "Why drink mine?"

He was really angry. If it weren't for Du Yu's whimsical ideas, they wouldn't have ended up in such a situation.

Du Yu drank water, his pale lips became moist, his face was expressionless, and he said seriously, "What mechanism do you think we touched to make this net appear?"

The other party asked seriously, and no matter how angry Yu Zhen was, he didn't know whether he should be entangled in the trivial matter of drinking water; he thought for a while, and said solemnly: "Since we came down, we only touched that corpse."

"That corpse?" Du Yu's eyelashes drooped slightly, casting a gray shadow in front of his eyes.

Yu Zhen recalled seeing the silver light when he knocked over the dead body by passing by, and said, "Let's go back and see her."

……

Unfortunately, the leg bone kicked by Yu Zhen fell into the ditch, and the body turned into a lame female corpse.

"I... don't really want to help her pick it up." He squatted by the ditch, looking at the muddy and dark sewage, entangled.

"Then don't pick it up." Du Yu didn't care about such insignificant things.

"Okay." Yu Zhen's psychological burden just disappeared.

He turned to face the female corpse, pushed aside the remaining bones, rummaged through them, and quickly picked out a silver key from it—the source of the silver light he had glimpsed.He put the key in the brightest spot of the headlight, and showed Du Yu, "New discovery."

An ordinary silver key, slightly oxidized, it is still brand new after wiping off the dust.

They picked up the decades-old bones and moved them elsewhere.There is no keyhole on the ground, the key was just pressed under the body by the deceased unintentionally or deliberately, and its purpose is worth trying to figure out.

Du Yu picked up the skull of the deceased and looked at it without awe, "Thinking about it this way, we are only half right; Irene neither committed suicide nor homicide, but was imprisoned here to starve to death. "

Yu Zhen said: "Yes, our end will be the same as hers."

Du Yu put down the skull, "We have to go out."

Yu Zhen squinted at people lazily, "Swim out as a fish, or crawl out as a mouse?"

Du Yu said nicely, "Don't mock me, we are grasshoppers on the same rope."

Yu Zhen said angrily: "I tell you to listen to me and go back the same way, but you won't listen! Curiosity killed the cat! Well, I'm going to die with you now, see you in the next life."

The atmosphere was tense, and the two fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Du Yu tilted his head and showed a very helpless smile: "Why are you like this?"

The slightly curled corners of Du Yu's mouth seemed to be traced with a line brush, which was exactly like Du Wen; Yu Zhen's heart trembled violently—as if the soft tip of the pen swept over him while drawing a smile. In the heart, aroused a heart-catching itching and goosebumps.

He blushed, and suddenly couldn't say the mean words he had planned.

"It's annoying." Yu Zhen complained in a low voice.

Du Yu: "What?"

"I said you're annoying!" Yu Zhen covered up his embarrassment with a loud voice, "Let's go, let's go and see the secret passage you've been thinking about!"

……

"I'm serious, when we came down, there was no iron net, so there must be a way to open it." Du Yu followed behind him, talking non-stop.

"I hope!" Yu Zhen replied angrily.

He believes that there is a way to open the exit, but he is not as optimistic as Du Yu; if the way is easy to find, that Ms. Irene will not be trapped in the sewer to death—if she is not killed by others.

It is still possible that she was killed.

The Royal Research Institute is three hours away from here. Considering the murderer's physical strength and the purpose of abandoning the corpse, of course there is no need to play with the corpse; but the secret passage that does not exist on the map is only a few hundred meters away from the corpse. Putting her there, deliberately creating the illusion that she was trapped and died, made sense.

But why?

The sudden pain in his temple interrupted Yu Zhen's train of thought, and he gave up fighting wits with the imaginary murderer.

Forget about him, now that he is no longer a criminal policeman, he should save his brains to solve the problem of his own survival.

Go through the [-]-meter tunnel and see the mermaid in the sewer again.

The variegated golden rings on its wrists reflected their figures, and the hollow stone eyes looked down on all beings like a Madonna lovingly.

Facing the T-shaped fork, the two turned directly to the right, ready to explore the secret passage behind the hole in the wall.

However, after walking a few steps, a sense of disobedience emerged spontaneously, like a ghost covering Yu Zhen's back, causing the back of his neck to feel cold, and he turned his head frequently.

Du Yu noticed his strangeness and asked concerned: "What's wrong with you?"

Yu Zhen stopped in his tracks, pointed at the mermaid statue at the fork behind, and asked, "Do you remember which direction it was looking at?"

Hearing this, Du Yu stepped back to look at the stone statue.

It twisted its slender and slender neck, and was looking at them lovingly, with its slender arms stretched out...

They're going to the right...the right.When I saw this sculpture for the first time, the mermaid clearly looked to the left!

Du Yu felt chills down his spine, and said, "It has changed, its head has turned from left to right."

When did this happen?They didn't notice such an obvious change?

"It's because of it that we can't get out?" Yu Zhen stared firmly at the head and shoulders of the stone statue, then handed out a hand to Du Yu, "Give me the pliers."

Du Yu reached into his backpack to fumble around, then handed him the 1.5kg wire cutters, "What are you going to do?"

Yu Zhen caught the pliers, stepped into the water with a "crash", walked straight to the mermaid statue, and said, "I'm going to smash it."

"Are you crazy?" Du Yu followed him into the water, and there was a splashing sound.

Yu Zhen: "I'm not crazy, I want to see what kind of internal structure it is."

Du Yu pressed his shoulder and snatched the pliers from his hand. Yu Zhen turned around and was about to explode when he heard the other party say——

"Come on, I'm taller than you."
