Survival game: my plug-ins can stack up
Chapter 33 The strange basement
Zhao Xun's expression remained unchanged, and his smile was kind: "I heard gunshots at about one o'clock last night. You should have successfully killed the Duke by then, right? Why didn't you come out of the Duke's Mansion until now?"
The short-haired woman was stunned: "You...how do you know..."
Immediately, she seemed to have thought of something: "Have you also cooperated with Tiantian?"
Only Tiantian knew what her main mission was, and it was Tiantian who created the sneak attack opportunity for her.
Therefore, the only way for others to know about her main mission was through Tiantian.
"Yes." Zhao Xun admitted and said, "My mission does not conflict with yours, otherwise I would have attacked you last night."
The short-haired woman's expression relaxed slightly.
Zhao Xun could accurately tell the time when she fired the gun. She must have been in the Duke's Mansion last night.
Since he didn't do anything to her last night, and the matter is a foregone conclusion today, there is no need to do anything to her.
Recalling the first question asked by Zhao Xun just now, the short-haired woman smiled bitterly: "It was a fierce battle for me last night. Although I won, my body became extremely weak. Under the pursuit of other guards, I reluctantly I found a safe corner to hide, then fell into a coma and didn’t wake up until half an hour ago.”
Zhao Xun looked into the Duke's Mansion.
A mess all over the place.
It seems that after the Duke died, many guards and maids ran away.
The public opinion has been fermenting this morning. The Duke's reputation has been ruined, and the remaining people will definitely not be able to stay any longer.
The huge Duke's Mansion was empty, so it was much easier to get in and out.
No wonder the short-haired woman dared to walk out of the front door so swaggeringly.
"Is there no one in the Duke's Mansion?" Zhao Xun asked despite his suspicion.
"Probably." The short-haired woman rubbed her brows tiredly, "Anyway, I didn't see a single person on the way out."
"I'll go in and take a look." Zhao Xun nodded politely to the short-haired woman, passed by her, and entered the Duke's Mansion.
The short-haired woman looked back at Zhao Xun, turned around and left without asking any questions.
Zhao Xun walked not far inside when he saw the sculpture running out in a hurry.
His heart sank instantly.
The sculpture said that she only had half an hour of free walking time every day, and she would never use this short free time for casual strolling.
At least the sculpture won't do that until it's certain Ruby isn't in danger.
The moment he saw Zhao Xun, the sculpture's eyes lit up.
She rushed in front of Zhao Xun and said very quickly: "Ah Shui! Ruby was kidnapped by a middle-aged man with a wretched appearance!"
Zhao Xun's brows furrowed.
From this description, he seems to be that wretched man.
The only player I haven't seen since entering the game.
Unexpectedly, at this time...
"Do you know where they went?" Zhao Xun was the first to ask this question.
It didn't matter how she was taken away or why she was taken away. What was important was that he had to know where Ruby was taken away first.
No matter what the wretched man's mission was, capturing Ruby would be detrimental to Zhao Xun's mission, so he had to get her back.
"I know," the sculpture nodded repeatedly, "There is telepathy between Ruby and I, I can find her location."
"Talking as we walk." Zhao Xun motioned to the sculpture to lead the way.
Along the way, sculptures illustrate what came before.
It turns out Ruby had been hiding underneath the sculpture.
This sculpture of a praying girl is indeed different from other ordinary sculptures. She was placed in the corner of the Duke's Palace, hidden by layers of bamboo. It was not a coincidence that she was abandoned there, but was placed there specifically.
She is the entrance mechanism of a large basement.
Opening her opened the door to the basement.
"I don't remember how long I have been there, but it must have been many, many years earlier than the current Duke." The sculpture led the way and said to Zhao Xun, "This huge basement should have been left a long, long time ago. The current Duke doesn’t even know the crypt exists.”
"A huge basement?" Zhao Xun asked, "How big is it?"
The sculpture recalled it carefully before replying: "Actually, the area that can be called a 'basement' is only half the size of the entire Duke's Palace, but it extends countless passages in all directions. Those passages should cover the entire Neri." The town is included in it.”
"So, the basement can lead to anywhere in Nairui Town?" Zhao Xun was a little surprised.
Although the area of Neri Town is not very large, it would take a huge amount of manpower and material resources to create an underground passage that extends in all directions.
Logically speaking, such a large project should be recorded in the history of the town.
But the sculpture says that the current Duke does not know.
Moreover, it seems that no one in the town knows about it, otherwise the existence of the sculpture would not be a secret.
When the security officers searched for Ruby, they would not miss the basement.
For such a big project, no one in the entire town knew about it. It must have been at least several thousand years ago.
However, there are no traces of erosion by wind, frost, rain, and snow on the sculpture. It has been placed in the open air, exposed to wind and sun for thousands of years, and it is unlikely that it will remain so intact.
The contradiction between the two made Zhao Xun confused about the specific time of the basement construction.
"It shouldn't be possible..." the sculpture explained. "Although those passages can be crawled through, only air holes are left everywhere to ensure air circulation inside, and there are no exits."
"There are no exits in the entire basement passage?" Zhao Xun was a little surprised, "The only way in and out is from your side?"
"Yes." The sculpture nodded.
Zhao Xun felt puzzled.
This kind of basement design does ensure sufficient safety to a certain extent.
There is only one entrance and exit, which completely avoids the possibility of being accidentally entered by others.
If it is used to hide treasures, it is indeed suitable.
But if it is only used to hide treasures, there is no need to make a passage covering the entire town of Neri.
Somewhat unreasonable, a bit strange.
Forget it, this matter is not related to his mission, nor is it related to what he is currently doing.
Never mind that.
Zhao Xun asked the question he was more concerned about: "Did that wretched man directly open the mechanism on your body and go directly into the basement to arrest Ruby?"
"Yes." The sculpture said to Zhao Xun while recalling the details. "He seemed to know how to open the basement early on, and he was very sure that Ruby was hiding in the basement. There was no hesitation in the whole process. I didn't even react, and he just He opened me up, and when I tried to stop him, he took out another rope and tied me up."
"Is there anything special about the rope that binds you?" Zhao Xun immediately asked.
