2497 The hidden secret room (1)
Not long after er Gou left, Tang Zhen simply packed up and left the hotel.
He wanted to go to lithe’s house and meet this guy who seemed to be a wise man.
The sky had already darkened when he came out. Tang Zhen admired the scenery for a while before walking towards the dark cave.
The streets, which were already sparsely populated, became even quieter. From time to time, glowing creatures resembling dandelions would float over their heads.
This kind of thing liked to float above people’s heads, following them wherever they went. From a distance, it looked like a ball of light above their heads, and the lighting effect was quite good.
It was also easy to drive them away. As long as they clapped their hands above their heads, these things would run away.
The life and death of the Heaven’s Wall city’s residents were the same as the outside world. When night fell, they would all go to sleep.
The streets would become even more deserted, and there would be almost no signs of activity. What else could the residents of the Heaven’s Wall city do besides sleep?
Tang Zhen quietly walked on the street like a wandering ghost. No one had discovered his existence.
When he arrived at lithe’s house, the door was still closed and there was no sound around.
Allie’s family had already fallen asleep. Tang Zhen could even hear faint snores. Obviously, the sound insulation effect of this stone cave was not very good.
Tang Zhen stood at the door of litt’s house and wanted to hear the movements inside, but it was quiet.
Tang Zhen’s hearing was extremely good. Regardless of whether it was the sound of breathing or heartbeat, he was able to hear it clearly.
It was impossible for there to be no movement in a room with someone in it, so the situation was not right.
He pulled out the long sword in his hand and gently flicked it along the crack of the door. The hardwood door bolt was directly cut off.
After pushing the door open, a simple and crude house appeared in front of them. It could be described as a house with only four walls.
The young man who lived here, litt, had already disappeared without a trace. This proved that Tang Zhen’s previous judgment was not wrong.
There was indeed no one in the room, so there was no movement.
Tang Zhen’s eyes narrowed as he swept his gaze across the entire room. On the surface, there did not seem to be any problems.
However, Allie’s two younger brothers had said that they saw weapons and armor in the room, and there were many glowing lines on the walls.
The room in front of him did not have those things at all. Therefore, Tang Zhen had reason to believe that there was still a hidden space here.
what’s going on? are those two kids talking nonsense? ”
Tang Zhen shook his head and felt that the possibility of Allie’s brother lying wasn’t high. After all, with their age, they wouldn’t be able to make up such a lie.
Not to mention that the door was locked from the inside, but there was no one inside the house. This in itself was very strange.
When Tang Zhen thought up to this point, he once again seriously sized up the house, not wanting to miss any details.
“This litt is very cunning. If he’s not at home, he definitely won’t open the secret door.
The fact that the two children were able to find the secret door means that the mechanism wasn’t difficult to open. Otherwise, the children wouldn’t have been able to reach Yingluo.”
Tang Zhen, who had walked to the front of the stone bed, suddenly squatted down and seriously sized it up.
“So it’s like this, no wonder Zhenzhen”
A trace of a smile appeared on the corner of Tang Zhen’s mouth. He curled his body and directly crawled under the bed.
The seemingly flat and empty bottom of the bed was actually a smokescreen. A mirror-like object was used to create an illusion, but in fact, there was a long entrance.
Such a simple method had managed to hide from Tang Zhen, causing him to not discover it at the first moment.
After getting used to the methods of cultivators, this kind of mechanism without any energy fluctuations had a better concealing effect.
After entering from the entrance under the bed, a narrow passage appeared in front of them, suitable for small people to walk through.
Tang Zhen twisted his body. Soon after, he appeared to be deflating as his height rapidly shrunk to around 1.4 meters.
The outer clothes were kept away, and the armor on his body shrank automatically, so it was very fitting.
Such a petite figure was very suitable for digging holes.
He sensed the path ahead. Although it was winding, it was a smooth path without any traps.
It was normal to think about it, if there was really a trap, Allie’s two brothers might not be able to come back alive.
From this, it could be confirmed that Ritt was not as evil as Allie had described, or his two brothers would not have been able to live until now.
As for his style of doing things, perhaps it was related to the memories of his previous life. After seeing through the vicissitudes of the world, it was inevitable that his words and actions would carry a trace of laziness and indifference.
Although the young man was deliberately hiding it, his eyes had already betrayed him. Without experiencing a hundred years of ups and downs, it was impossible to have that kind of gaze.
During the process of advancing, Tang Zhen discovered one thing. This passageway had definitely existed for a long time. It was very likely to have a history of over a thousand years.
The narrow passage was definitely not meant to make things difficult for the people who wanted to enter, but because the builder was very small.
Ritt had the memories of his previous life, so he must have known about the existence of this passage. As for why it was under his bed, perhaps only he could answer.
Surprisingly, the tunnel was very long, at least a hundred meters.
As for why this happened, it was obvious that they were avoiding the residential buildings and looking for more spacious spaces.
It was not an easy task to find a spacious and hidden space in a mountain that had almost been hollowed out.
After walking for a while, Tang Zhen saw an even brighter light. They had already reached the end of the passage.
After passing through a small door, a space appeared in front of them. It was about a hundred square meters in size, with many cabinets and boxes.
The cabinet was filled with books made of different materials, and the time of writing was different.
On the surrounding stone walls, there were indeed dense fluorescent lines, forming a runic magic circle with a shielding effect.
The young man named litt was standing by the table, drawing something with a Quill.
He seemed to be worried about something.
Tang Zhen did not say anything. He merely stood with his hands behind his back and seriously observed the details of this space.
From the appearance and style of those items, he could confirm that they did not belong to this era. They also belonged to a small race.
As he looked at li te who was still deep in thought, Tang Zhen had a guess in his heart. This fellow was very likely related to the race that built this place.
It was even possible that the other party was from that race in his previous life and was now reincarnated as a human.
This strange silence lasted for nearly ten minutes.
Lithe seemed to have figured something out, and a smile appeared on his face. He put down the pen and tried to stretch his stiff body.
After which, he saw Tang Zhen. His pleased expression immediately froze as a trace of fear flashed across his eyes.
He jumped up from the ground like a frightened rat, as if to vent the fear in his heart.
People often said that they were shocked, and litt was one of them.
However, as he jumped, he reached for his waist and grabbed a cylinder-shaped thing.
Just as li te aimed it at Tang Zhen, he saw Tang Zhen appear beside him like a leopard.
“If I were you, I wouldn’t do such a stupid thing to avoid losing my life.”
Hearing Tang Zhen’s warning and feeling the cold chill on his neck, litt’s face was a little distorted. His eyes were filled with a struggle.
A few seconds later, like a deflated ball, liter helplessly put down his weapon.
“Speak, cultivator Lou Cheng, what do you want?”
