Chapter 485 Another identical room
Gu Chaoxi felt something like silk sliding across her back, and it felt like a skirt.
Is that the woman on the cross?
The wind seemed to be stronger than before. She couldn't open her eyes at all and could only listen with her ears.
Amid the whistling wind, she heard the sound of fabric rubbing against each other beside her ears, followed by the sound of footsteps moving away into the distance.
Then there was the sound of a door opening, very briefly, and then closing again.
Did that man take the woman from the cross down and take her away?
She slowly lowered her arms, turned her head, and tried to open her eyes a little bit towards the wind.
In the brief moment of sight, there was nothing but the drooping thorns on the cross.
She lowered her head to cover her face, and the wind suddenly stopped in an instant.
Everything began to calm down.
When Pei Yan put his hands down, the only candles left in the room were the two closest to the cross.
In the dim light, Gu Chaoxi squatted on the ground with his knees hugged and his head buried.
Pei Yan lowered his eyes and glanced at the necklace in his hand, only then did he confirm that everything that had just happened was not a dream.
Qin Wei looked up, but there was no one on the cross.
Looking into the open narrow secret room again, the man sitting on the chair was gone.
She stood up suddenly, but felt dizzy due to low blood sugar.
Fortunately, Shen Yao noticed her discomfort and immediately raised his hand to support her, so she did not fall.
Everyone looked at the now empty room and looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Isn't there no NPC?" Su Zhaoran was a little confused.
The only answer she got was silence.
Gu Chaoxi slowly stood up from the ground and looked towards the door leading to the first room.
The door was now closed, and no trace of anything was left on the carpet.
If the theme itself requires the man to take the woman away, then they need to find clues to their story.
If it was the plane that prompted the man to take the woman away, it was to interfere with them.
But, the latter isn’t necessary, is it?
She touched her chin and asked, "Why are the portraits and people facing that woman?"
It's strange, isn't it? What's so strange about it?
She thought about it, looked at the door again, and suddenly snapped her fingers.
"Ayan, we overlooked one thing. When the painting came over here, where did the chair in front of it go?"
There was a slight smile on the corner of Gu Chaoxi's lips, but there was a sharp look between his brows.
This is what they just overlooked. Although the painting was hung high, its base was slightly lower than the chair.
The front wall was moving forward, but the chair was not seen.
That is, the entire wall moving forward is most likely just a visual trick.
In fact, from the beginning, only the painting was moving.
"Let's go back to that room and take another look."
As he spoke, Gu Chaoxi walked in that direction, but someone grabbed his wrist.
She turned around, and Pei Yan lowered his head and looked at her: "Search this side first, maybe there are some clues that we missed, it won't be too late to go back and check there later."
"Oh, that's right." She patted her head and said she hadn't looked at this yet.
So, several people began to search the small secret room.
Qin Wei took advantage of this opportunity to pick up a candlestick and light up the others.
In the meantime, check out those windows.
What's outside the window isn't the real exterior view, and the moon before was just shining through another layer of light.
She looked along several windows, and saw a slight gap at the bottom of the middle window.
The window was slightly opened inward, as if something was stuck inside.
Qin Wei raised her hand and opened the window, and the things that were originally stuck inside fell out.
She squatted down and picked it up. It was a group photo, but it was torn into pieces and glued together in the middle.
It seems that the owner of the photo has complicated feelings about this photo.
Above, there is the woman on the cross and the man sitting on the chair.
The woman in the photo is still wearing a white dress, holy as light.
The man was wearing a long black coat with the collar turned up to cover his neck. The corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and one of his fangs was particularly prominent.
This photo was taken under the moon, and the background seems to be a garden.
In the picture, the man's eyes are particularly bright, with red pupils.
Qin Wei turned around with the photo and walked towards the people who were looking for clues in the secret room.
Gu Chaoxi was groping on the chair at this time. Her hand just touched something that looked like a mechanism and could be pushed.
But the problem is that this chair is fixed to the ground, and its base is very low and completely invisible, so you can only touch it with your hands.
She touched the entire bottom and was basically sure it was a chessboard, the same black and white squares as before.
Even the initial position was the same as the initial position of the black and white checkered armor, so she began to restore all the positions according to Pei Yan's instructions.
Just at the moment Qin Wei walked into the secret room, Gu Chaoxi restored all the positions.
"boom."
The sound of the mechanism being activated was right under their feet.
Feeling that the secret room was descending, Gu Chaoxi immediately held onto a chair and squatted on the spot, not forgetting to remind everyone: "Stand upright by holding onto the wall!"
As the secret room continued to descend, a new environment appeared before everyone's eyes.
Two rooms exactly the same as before.
The doors of both rooms were open, so one could see directly from this side of the secret room to the end of the other room.
The only difference from the ones above is that these two rooms are normal rooms, equipped with tables, chairs and beds.
Qin Wei clutched the photo in her hand, and before she could say anything, she was shocked by the scene in front of her and became speechless.
She collapsed, and candlelight flickered on the walls on both sides.
There was a bed in the middle of the room, with thick bedding and bed curtains tied together and hanging on the ground.
The first thing that comes to mind when you think of this bed is the Middle Ages.
There is a round table and chairs against the wall at the end of the bed.
The round table was covered with a lace tablecloth, and the chairs were cushioned with tassels hanging around them.
"Luxurious." This was Gu Chaoxi's evaluation of her.
On the bedside table, there is a white table lamp, and the lampshade is also made of lace.
There is an open book on the bedside table on the left.
Shen Yao walked over there, picked up the book and flipped through it, then turned around and shook his head at them.
It's just a normal book, nothing special.
There were two drawers in the bedside table. He opened them and looked inside, but found nothing except some normal daily necessities.
Qi Chuzhao walked over to the bedside table on the other side, opened it and checked, but there was nothing there either.
