"Is this guiding us..." Qi Bing asked.
"Why do I feel like I've been tricked by this guy..." Wang Xu's mouth twitched.
Master Mao said: "Actually, this is also a good idea. If he directly made such a painting here in the basement, we really don't know what it means." Just stepped on the face of Vincent's portrait. The wall collapsed inward, but it didn't make too much noise. The kick must have been intentional by Master Cat, as he didn't want to disturb other people upstairs.
Master Cat continued: "Now he has filled the room with portraits of Elsa Linna, we will naturally notice, and then in the process of searching and observing, we will come here and see this obviously not It's a very well-coordinated painting."
As he spoke, he took the candle in Wang Xu's hand and probed into the dark hole behind the wall.
"Sure enough, this is the entrance to Derek's laboratory." Master Cat had already seen the steps extending down by candlelight.
"I said... There should be a switch that can activate this wall?" Wang Xu asked.
"Don't you think that when Vincent put up this portrait, he wanted us to kick the wall away at his face?" Master Cat asked back.
Wang Xu laughed twice: "It's really a thoughtful reminder..."
"He's relying on calculations, I think he can even reach this step..." Master Cat handed the candles to Wang Xu, "Wait here for me, I'll find some new candles."
Qi Bing asked: "All four of us going down?"
Before Master Cat answered, Yu Xin rushed, "I'm going to you guys, it looks like a dirty place, I don't want to go down."
"That's right, the three of us go down, and you stay and protect the others." Wang Xu said, in fact, he was a little worried about who, and wished that Yu Xin would stay and protect them.
…
After more than ten minutes, the three members of the right-hand club each held a torch and walked together in a narrow dark passage.
Originally they wanted to bring down only candles, but unfortunately the humidity in this place seems to be too high, and there is not enough oxygen, and the candles went out after a short walk, so they had to go back to the house to break some candles. a piece of furniture, wrap strips of oil-soaked cloth around it to make a torch, and move forward.
This place does not have the disgusting smell as imagined, except for the high humidity, there is no other strange feeling that makes people uncomfortable, and breathing is not a problem. Even if the air is not as good as outside, it will not die from lack of oxygen. Sometimes the dark passages extend straight, and sometimes they become spiral downward steps. In short, they are always going downhill.
The three of them didn't dare to be careless, for fear that something similar to a trap would be triggered, so they walked cautiously and slowly along the way. After groping like this for nearly twenty minutes, a door suddenly appeared at the end of the secret passage before their eyes.
"What is this...is it necessary..." Wang Xu was surprised.
Qi Bing said: "I hope this door is unlocked..."
The door itself was nothing special, it was just an ordinary iron rectangular door, and it couldn't be compared with the round alloy door with a steering wheel lock in a bank vault or any security door for a home.
The exaggeration is that there is something like a magic circle engraved on the door. The pattern of the circle is bright red, and it seems to be flowing. When Wang Xu took a closer look, the red thing was indeed blood...
"Do you have any ideas?" Wang Xu asked Master Cat.
Master Cat frowned in thought: "I've never seen this pattern before... It seems that there is only one way."
"What way?" Wang Xu regretted the words as soon as he uttered them, because he immediately understood when he said that, when a black-bellied man pretends to be deep, he might want to bully himself...
Sure enough, Master Cat grabbed Wang Xu's wrist and put his hand on the doorknob with lightning speed. The magic circle lit up slightly, and there was a sound of "呲啦" from Wang Xu's hand. Even if he immediately retracted his hand, it was already scalded like a braised pig's trotter.
Wang Xu screamed in pain, but Master Cat didn't even look at him, and analyzed by himself: "This magic circle is something similar to an identification system... but its identification basis is not fingerprints or voiceprints. , or pupils, but the soul."
Qi Bing said: "Then we can't open this door?"
"Impossible, Vincent will not lead us to a dead end." Master Cat squatted down and stared at the magic circle at a close distance, "This Western magic pattern is very interesting, as long as the pattern is changed a little, It would be a completely different effect."
Wang Xu said behind him: "It would be perfect to change it to your portrait."
Master Cat continued to ignore his complaints, he squinted, stood up, brewed for more than ten seconds, and then... spit on the magic circle.
"That's all right."
"Hey! That's fine too! Wouldn't it be better for you to pee up there?!"
"Don't be so wordy, come here and touch the doorknob."
"Get out! I want to touch you! Don't even think about fucking me again."
Master Cat sighed, and put his hand on the doorknob. The scald incident that Wang Xu imagined did not happen, but Master Cat let go of his hand soon.
"What's wrong?" Qi Bing was quite puzzled.
"Can't open it."
Wang Xu asked, "What do you mean it can't be opened?"
Master Cat didn't seem to listen to his question at all, but said to himself: "Sure enough, I still have a killer..." He said as if he was about to unzip his pants.
"Hey! What is your trump card! You still have to pee on the door!"
"Don't be wordy, Wei Shi has already discovered the ultimate weakness of this floating magic circle. Whether it's dog blood, saliva, or excrement, as a ghost hunter, you must use it calmly."
"Oh shit! What drives you to act like this is the will of a ghost hunter? I think it's pure urination! Stop now! How can you make children read this book again in the future!" Wang Xu struggled from behind Clamped Master Cat.
At this moment, on the other side of the door...
Derek's pale expression like a walking dead finally changed a little - the corners of his mouth twitched...
"I'd better open the door for these guys..." he thought, and opened the door from the inside.
