The three of them were all shocked when they witnessed the old man being carried away by an unknown creature and drilled into the elevator shaft.
Ji Xuefei looked at Li Muye in shock and asked, "Old Li, what happened just now? The old man was bitten to death by that thing."
Lao Cui said: "It seems to be a big mouse, similar to the big red-skinned mouse we saw before."
The thing moved as fast as lightning, and only Brother Xiaoye could see it clearly in that flash of light. It was a giant rat with a white crown, a light white thin line on its belly, and shiny purple-black mane hair all over its body. It is clearly a new rat handsome that is better than the rat handsome raised by Sun Deshou in the rat kingdom in terms of momentum and physique!
"Stop guessing, it's just a giant rat." Li Muye said solemnly, "The situation here is not quite right. Let's evacuate first."
The three people returned to the exhibition hall in front, and the door was closed. Li Muye tried to unlock it first, but there was no movement at all. After pushing hard, he found that the door was made of metal, extremely heavy, and locked at multiple points, making it difficult to shake.
Lao Cui said: "If you can't go through the door, why don't you go through the window?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the machine starting up from all around, and the windows on all sides were closing the gates one after another.
Ji Xuefei was startled and shouted: "It's broken, we have fallen into a trap and can't leave!"
Li Muye sneered and said, "We won't leave until we are allowed to leave. Why don't you go to Rat Mountain knowing that there are rats in the mountains!"
The three people returned to Hall No. 2, and suddenly there was a corpse on the ground. All that had been eaten was the incomplete skeleton, and there were rats lying on the skeleton and chewing on it. There were scattered clothes nearby, which were vaguely worn by the old man just now.
Lao Cui said: "I haven't seen this body just now. If it was that old man, he would have eaten too fast."
Ji Xuefei frowned and said, "It looks so scary. The clothes are correct, it's him."
A sharp scream came from the elevator shaft, and the surrounding rats suddenly became violent. The sound was as dense as the tide, and the dense feeling arose spontaneously, which was frightening. There was an army of mice gathering here. Ji Xuefei's face turned pale. The old cat Kuidou was lying in Ji Xuefei's arms, squinting his eyes and suddenly making a purring sound in his mouth. A few little mice were still gnawing on the bones. Immediately he shivered with fear.
Li Muye ordered: "Let it go."
Ji Xuefei refused: "When the big rat rushed out to grab someone, its fur exploded. If I hadn't grabbed it, I might have rushed forward. It's so small, how could it be a match for that big rat?" , still hugging Kui Dou and not letting go.
Li Muye solemnly said: "If you weren't so afraid and hugged it tightly, maybe this old man wouldn't have to die."
Ji Xuefei saw Li Muye's serious expression and knew that the matter was very serious, so he obediently handed over Kuidou. The old cat suddenly jumped out of the little girl's arms, stood there shaking its fur and shaking its head, stretching its arms and legs, spreading its tail, and suddenly let out a roar, as loud as a drought. The thunder from the sky reverberated, and the rats on the beams fell one after another, like rain, falling all over the ground in an instant.
Li Muye said to Ji Xuefei, who was already dumbfounded: "Even though it looks small, my old cat is actually an ancient strange beast. The masters of the Five Insects regard it as a holy beast. A lion can't even hear its roar." I was scared to death, let alone these rats.”
Ji Xuefei followed Li Muye to the Rat Mountain in Taihu Lake but did not enter the Rat Kingdom, and he was not clear about the power of Kui Dou. Last time, Li Muye used the method of twisting the tiger's beard to scare away the rats and save Gordon and others by using Kui Dou's majesty. Although she was also present, she only thought that cats and rats were in conflict and did not see the key point. She didn't ask, and Li Muye didn't bother to introduce it to her, so it wasn't until this moment that he realized that this old cat with strange behavior and liking to sleep in girls' arms was actually a strange beast in the world.
"It turns out that this old cat has such a big background." Ji Xuefei looked at Kuidou and said, "You are so small, but you have such a big face. Although I thought you were not simple before, I didn't think it was that surprising. I didn't expect it. I underestimated you."
For a seventeen-year-old girl, facing dead rats all over the ground and a horrifically gnawed corpse, she acted very bravely and calmly.
Li Muye waved to Kuidou and patted his shoulder. The old cat immediately jumped up.
"This place is very weird. I feel that things may be much more complicated than we imagined." Li Muye said to the two of them in a deep voice: "I will go down to see the situation first. You guys stay up there and wait for my signal."
Ji Xuefei said: "Aren't you scared alone? Do you want me to go down with you?" She was clearly trembling with fear, but she still forced herself to stay calm.
Li Muye looked at her and said with a smile: "There are dead rats up here, so you are afraid of them. When they get down there, they might all be those big red-skinned rats that pounce on people without eyes. Aren't you going to Scared to death?"
"Then Lao Li, you should be careful yourself." Ji Xuefei said, taking out a bamboo tube from his treasure bag and saying: "I have ambergris coral ointment here that is impervious to all evil. You can put a little on your temples to keep your mind clear. wide awake."
Li Muye knew that she had always been generous, and the teacher's treasure never took it seriously. She didn't like to take things back after giving them away, so he simply took them in his hand, wiped a little on her temples as she said, and handed them back to her. She and Lao Cui also applied a little each. After settling in, he took Kuidou to the elevator shaft.
The elevator's power indicator light has stopped responding. It seems that there is a fault in the elevator's power system. Li Muye glanced down and jumped down without hesitation. After falling a few meters, he suddenly stretched out his arms to support the angle between the two walls of the elevator shaft. After stabilizing his body, he continued to fall, passing through the first underground floor, the second floor... all the way to the seventh underground floor at the bottom. He turned back to Lao Cui and Ji Xuefei who were waiting above and said, "It's dozens of meters deep below. If you feel heavy, don't come down."
Coming out of the empty elevator room, you are greeted by a dimly lit hall. The layout is similar to the one above, except that the items listed have been destroyed and searched, and the air is filled with a disgusting stench. At a glance, Li Muye saw hundreds of torn corpses displayed in the ground. These people have been chewed beyond recognition, but the clothes they are wearing are still identifiable. There are men and women, old and young. There are similar badges on each piece of clothing, and they are all vaguely staff of the manor.
Even though Brother Xiaoye is thick-skinned and dark-hearted, he can't help but feel frightened secretly. This old devil Sun is so vicious. Three feet of ice was not frozen in a day. So many people died in this place and it was so severely damaged. Judging from the situation, this place has already become a secret place for him to raise mice. It seems that everyone in the manor has been eaten by rats.
Why would he do this? And where have the family members of the Red Shield Manor gone? Since everyone is dead, who is the old man who received him? (End of chapter)
