Chapter 184 23. The museum is haunted

This dull sound came suddenly, and the ground was shaking slightly, as if a mechanism deep underground was activated. The principle may be related to the sound of water mentioned by Ji Dao.

Water was often used in ancient institutions.

Zheng Yun had seen similar things before.

But now they can't tell whether this mechanism is a mechanism for a certain passage, or a defensive mechanism that can hurt people and kill people.

Zheng Yun is most worried about the latter.

The Immortal Gate is the most important legacy of Triton, and it is likely to be protected by mechanisms. Even the mechanisms here are far more terrifying and weird than those in large tombs.

The fairy gate deep in the Immortal Sacrifice Cave is protected by cold immortals and ghost fires. What will be found underground in the Dusi ruins?
"Hurry up and smoke."

Zheng Yun quickly spoke to Jidao.

This is not their own territory, but the underground of the museum. If anything happens, they will be in trouble.

"it is good."

Jidao's scalp also went numb, and he quickly knelt on the ground, trying to use his fingers to turn the sunken piece and buckle it up again.

But after he stepped on the stone bricks, they blended directly into the ground and were completely flush with the other bricks. There was not even a gap visible. Ji Dao had no nails on his hands, so he couldn't buckle them.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Zheng Yun held a flashlight in one hand to provide lighting, and quickly took out a multifunctional knife with the other hand. He squatted down and tried to use the knife to open the gap.

But still can't get it out.

The cracks between the bricks are only as thick as a hair.

"It's broken, Master Immortal, what should I do?"

Jidao was helpless and lay on the ground, looking at the brick eagerly, looking at Zheng Yun worriedly without tears.

This was his fault.

But he also felt very wronged.

I just searched for a long time and couldn't find any abnormalities. I saw that the bricks were not aligned, so I stepped on it subconsciously. Who would have thought that this brick was a mechanism?
"Put it in."

Zheng Yun handed the knife to Ji Dao and asked him to stab the knife into the brick and then pick out the brick.

Ji Dao nodded immediately and hurriedly took the knife. Knowing that this was his last chance, he held the knife with both hands and stabbed it with all his strength, hitting the center of the stone brick.

Click.

The entire blade was sunk into the brick.

Jidao fought hard with this sword, accurate and ruthless, and steadily completed Zheng Yun's instructions. Even the stone bricks polished with bluestone were stabbed through by him.

"Good strength, pick quickly."

Zheng Yun suddenly felt at ease and praised Jidao, saying that as long as he has a 'handle', he can pull up the stone bricks.

"it is good."

Ji Dao also smiled and immediately raised his hand to try to pick the bricks.

But the blade in his hand just moved.

Click.

A small sound.

The brick at the feet of the two of them, which they were staring at and shining brightly with the flashlight... cracked.

The two were silent at the same time.

"Quickly buckle." Zheng Yun was the first to react and quickly reached out to clean up the broken pieces.

Ji Dao immediately started to pick out half of the broken bricks with a knife.

But what neither of them expected was that the length of this stone brick exceeded their imagination. They pulled out the top broken brick, but it was not worth mentioning for the whole brick.

This brick is at least five meters long!There should be a water chamber at the bottom, using water pressure to hold up this slender piece of masonry!

"I come!"

Jidao became furious, grabbed a bulge below with one hand, pulled it upwards, and forcibly lifted the stone bricks.

He blushed from holding back.

At first glance, it looked like she was trying to feed herself.

The stone bricks also slowly moved up.

Zhen was dragged up by Ji Dao.

Zheng Yun listened carefully, and the rumbling sound slowly stopped, and the faint sound of water reappeared.

But something seems to be different.

This institution has played a certain role.

Click.

After a soft sound, the stone brick returned to its original position and was stuck somewhere. Jidao panted and let go and sat down.

"Look, there may be changes."

Zheng Yun raised the flashlight, stood up and searched around.

The two searched up and down, but didn't see any difference. Everything was exactly the same as before. There was no passage or anything strange.

"Master Immortal, is this mechanism broken?"

Ji Dao wiped the sweat from his forehead and guessed.

There are obvious traces of sealing here. Perhaps those institutions have also been sealed by the descendants of Triton and have become ineffective.

"I'm afraid not."

Zheng Yun shook his head with a solemn expression. The machine's dull voice was so loud, how could it be mute?

The agency controlled was probably a large agency in the Commander's Office. It was activated and shut down quickly by them, but it must have had a certain degree of impact.

Since there is no problem deep underground.

Maybe the problem lies above.

"What should I do?"

Ji Dao's face looked slightly uneasy.

"Go up and have a look."

Zheng Yun took out his cell phone and took a look. There was no reply from Kedester yet. They had to wait here for a while, so why not go up and check if there was anything abnormal.

In case something happens.

They can fix it overnight.

Jidao nodded immediately, followed Zheng Yun and walked upwards, climbed to the top along the shaft, listened carefully to confirm that there was no one above, then pushed open the baffle and stuck his head out.

Four eyes peer around.

The environment is no different from last time.

This museum, which was renovated by the Metropolitan Commander's Office, is already closed. Rows of glass display cabinets are spotless and placed in the center of the hall.

The light in the hall is dim, but many display cabinets have maintenance lights on, and those top-notch cultural relics lie in the cabinets. After hundreds of years, they still exude a priceless and attractive luster.

Look back and look behind you.

On the wall behind this display cabinet, there is a jade made of white jade hanging, which is one meter in diameter. It is crystal clear, delicate and bright, and the whole body is carved with strange fairy and ghost patterns.

This jade jade was also illuminated by a small lamp.

The introduction sign clearly states:

In the Ming Dynasty, the Qinghe Jade Fu cloud pattern appeared on the jade bi.

"Obviously it is the exclusive immortal demon pattern of our Supervisory Immortal Division, but it is written as a lucky cloud pattern." Ji Dao muttered in a low voice.

Zheng Yun glanced at him and looked around the hall carefully, looking for anything unusual.

They are in the corner of the hall.

This should be the most important back hall of the Commander's Office, but the desks, screens and other objects in the hall were removed, leaving this corner and jade exposed.

Scanned roughly.

Nothing seems out of the ordinary.

"Master Immortal, this jade seems to have something on it." Jidao suddenly pointed at the jade and whispered.

"what?"

Zheng Yun looked back and saw Jidao staring straight at the jade bi with a very serious expression, as if he had discovered something.

"There are words hidden in those lines."

Ji Dao stretched out his finger and pointed at several places.

Zheng Yun frowned and looked at the jade, but couldn't see any clues. They didn't have time to take a closer look, so they simply took out their mobile phones and took a photo, and then asked Ji Dao to study it slowly.

He just finished filming here.

Jidao suddenly turned around and looked into the distance again, his expression changed slightly and he said to Zheng Yun: "Master Xian, someone is coming from outside."

"Human?" Zheng Yun's scalp was slightly numb. Could it be that the agency made too much noise and they were discovered?
"Master Immortal, they are talking, saying that the museum is haunted, can you hear it? It's haunted, it's haunted..." Ji Dao listened for a while and then relayed it to Zheng Yun.After his introduction.

Zheng Yun also faintly heard human voices, probably the museum's security guards, shouting that it was haunted.

"..."

The two looked at each other in silence.

This time it's really big.

There are only two possibilities for the 'ghost' in their mouth. One is that the two of them were regarded as ghosts, and the other is that something went wrong in the underground organization and caused something similar to a haunting.

Of course not ruled out.

The agency really released the 'ghost'.

"Go down first, and then listen carefully." Zheng Yun took a deep breath, led Ji Dao back two steps, closed the baffle above his head, and continued to listen with bated breath.

Jidao's hearing was extremely good and he could hear people's voices clearly even through the baffle. He whispered to Zheng Yun truthfully:

"Captain, it's haunted!"

"Stop yelling, what's wrong?"

"Captain, just now the two of us were patrolling at night near the A[-] rear hall. Suddenly the ground shook, and the well in the A[-] back yard suddenly ran out of water, and there were still people talking!"

"People spoke? What did they say?"

"It's hard to hear. It's like a ghost. It's so misty that you can't tell where the source is coming from."

"Is it male or female?"

"It should be a female..."

"I heard the word fairy."

"Captain, I also think it's a female ghost. Didn't people die in that dry well? It must be the female ghost who has returned to the sun."

"The ground shook and the wells lost water? Did you all see it?"

"Captain, it's 100% true. I have a recorder here and it's all taken. You can tell at a glance."

"..."

Zheng Yun was silent again.

Ji Dao is also a master of oral skills. He can imitate people's tone and expression lifelikely.

But this is a headache.

They worked for a long time and caused a supernatural incident in the museum, which frightened the two security guards.

It's true if you think about it carefully.

Scared everyone.

The underground vibration well stopped flowing, and there was a faint sound of conversation. If it were an ordinary place, it would be considered ordinary.

But this is the headquarters of the Imperial Envoy. Countless strange things happened in ancient times, especially the local Orientals. Who can resist thinking about it after hearing about it since childhood?

"Master Xian, they should be talking about us, what should we do now?" Ji Dao asked with a twisted expression.

"If the ghosts are us instead of real ghosts, then it's not a big problem." Zheng Yun shook his head.

This matter is easy to solve.

You can go back and find Xu Yu from the Cultural Relics Bureau.

In the eyes of the Cultural Relics Bureau, people like Jiang He Pawn Shop, whether they are themselves, Jidao and Zhang Ergou, are real capable people and strangers, possessing the inheritance left by the Ming Dynasty.

Last time there was a murderer in Fuen City.

Xu Yu asked them to deal with it.

It can be seen from that incident that when the Cultural Relics Bureau encounters an irresolvable threat from gods and ghosts, people like them are one of the ways to deal with it, or even the best way to deal with it.

If you are in trouble, you can definitely go to Jianghe Pawn Shop.

Xu Yu did this last time. He gave himself a lot of information that ordinary people could not read, and then started to solicit favors. He never thought that the pawn shop would fail.

This is a kind of trust and tacit understanding.

accumulated from the previous generation.

Xu Yu usually won't come to them and won't even mention trivial matters, but they can go to Xu Yu on their own initiative.

They took the initiative to take over this job and catch their own 'ghosts'. So whether there are ghosts here and how to deal with it in the end, it's not just what they say?
If you think about it carefully, your adoptive father has always maintained a relationship with the Cultural Relics Bureau. Maybe there are also factors and considerations in this regard.

No matter what kind of mess they make, they can be officially hired by the Cultural Relics Bureau to take care of all their messes.

After letting Jidao continue to listen for a while, Zheng Yun was basically sure that the ghosts those security guards were talking about were him and Jidao, and he heard their conversation from a well.

This is also a clue.

Since they can be heard talking from a well, it means that the underground tunnel is connected to that well. There must be other exits underground, but they are blocked by Triton.

Go back and take over the work here.

They can try to find the passage.

If one could quietly walk out of the museum from underground, then this fairy gate in W-07 would no longer be a dead end.

"Go down and wait."

Zheng Yun slowly retreated.

Wakimichi returns to the depths of the underground.

It seems that they have to go to W-07. Along the way, they can go to W-06 to find the fairy gate, open the fairy gate in the museum, and call for support from Cadest.

Several things add up.

It's worth their while to come and visit.

The two waited underground for a while, and finally got a reply from Kedester. He sent a lot of content in one breath, all of which were new clues they found.

roughly means.

Everyone in Xichang has already landed on the transit island of Jias Eileen's expedition team. This island was purchased by a wealthy man in the [-]th century and he built a manor on the island.

Later, the rich man died unexpectedly. I don't know whether it was because there was no successor or no one knew about it. The island was abandoned and used as a temporary haven by some nearby fishermen.

Later, expeditions and salvage teams searching for shipwrecks often rested nearby, and the island became a transit point for these expeditions, occasionally spending the night in the manor.

But no matter how many passers-by there are.

The manor had always been deserted.

Kedester and the others had just landed on the island after a long voyage. There were a few fishermen on the island, but they lived in a small wooden house by the port and kept secret about the abandoned manor.

Li Xiya took the lead and walked around the abandoned manor. She did not enter the house, but just walked around the outside. She took a lot of videos and photos and sent them all.

Zheng Yun clicked on the video and took a look.

It was just dusk on the island when the shooting was taken, and the sunset on the sea had a different style. Li Xiya was wearing a sports camera, and the first-person view picture was a little shaken, and the whole world was covered in red.

Follow Licia as she moves around.

Kedester and a few other people from the West Factory occasionally appeared on camera. They were talking and walking forward through the overgrown paths to the outskirts of the abandoned manor.

The manor stood deep in the woods.

The iron gates and fences in the European medieval style are half collapsed and half rotten. Through the iron fence, you can see the attic in front of the manor, a four-story Western-style building with a strong medieval flavor.

The owner of the manor is very wealthy.

This large villa is beautifully restored.

There is also an abandoned fountain in the front yard.

These scenes looked like very typical shooting locations for Western-style suspense horror movies. Li Xiya and the others knew that there might be problems here and did not explore them rashly.

Licia took out Western occult objects and did some divination for herself and others. She came to the conclusion that they should not explore in depth, so they only walked around in one circle.

When they come out.

The island is basically dark.

A remote island, an abandoned manor, a dark fisherman, a staging place for all the expeditions that were killed, people often died on the island, and there were also the corpses of Jasi Erin's teammates.

All kinds of terms add up.

Everyone in the West Factory did not dare to neglect at all.

They chose to set up camp on the beach for the night, close to their ship. If there was a problem, they would go to sea immediately, not even daring to look for clues, and planned to talk about it in the morning.

Very wise choice.

But it was still thrilling to watch.

Zheng Yun wrote back to them, asking them to prioritize their own safety and evacuate to a safe place if necessary.

I will also go there in the near future.

If it doesn't work, just wait until you get there.
