endless route.

Chapter 191 30. The truth about joy?
Everyone walked around the study room. There were many clues here, but all the information pointed to the same conclusion. This Goode Manor was not a serious place.

"Continue exploring." Zheng Yun exited the study and looked forward. The Yin soldiers guarding the attic hall were still alive.

They didn't have time to turn the study upside down.

No matter what management methods this Western-style manor used in the [-]th century, and what evil businesses it ran, they are not the main goal of this exploration.

The target is the whereabouts of Jas Eileen.

Why did they come to this island?Today in the 21st century, what special attraction does this island and manor, which have been abandoned for at least several decades, have?
The location where the expedition and salvage team was last seen was the transit island that Kedester found.

But is it really a transit island?

Kedester believes that this is a transit island for two reasons. One is that someone accidentally discovered the bodies of members of the salvage team while resting on the island, and the other is that Jias Eileen and others brought a large number of diving equipment with them when they went out to sea. equipment.

If their goal was an abandoned manor, there would be no need for diving equipment, so Cadest believed that the island was just a transit point and the expedition's goal was in a certain sea area.

Now it seems that may not be the case.

Maybe this is their end point.

But Zheng Yun didn't believe that Jia Si Aileen's goal was to come here to find something that could give people pleasure.

Jiasi Irene is too mysterious. She has a deep understanding of the Ming Dynasty. Her motives and purposes are definitely not that simple. There should be other problems in this manor.

What Zheng Yun is most worried about is that this place is related to Triton and contains the ghost legacy left by Triton, but it is still unclear how the abandoned manor can be related to Triton.

Incredible.

Unable to connect the threads.

After hearing Zheng Yun's instructions, everyone exited the study and continued to explore the rooms along the corridor.

It's very safe all the way.

The dim old corridor has a dead atmosphere, and the luxurious Western-style decoration has been eroded by time. Except for their team of explorers, there is no living person or even living thing in the entire manor.

Gaze through the room window.

The sun poured down from high in the sky, and the scenery in the front yard of the manor was unobstructed. The decaying iron fences and statues, and the smelly muddy water still looked dilapidated and weird.

After a few minutes.

The procession entered the attic hall.

The decoration here is more luxurious, but also more dilapidated and decayed. The ceiling is seven or eight meters high and runs through the first and second floors. On the right hand side are the stairs leading to the underground and second floors.

"I heard the water too."

Kedester looked toward the stairs.

They only heard the sound of water coming from Ji Dao's mouth when they got here, but it was still very faint and no noise could be heard.

"Shall we go down and take a look, or should we explore other places first?" Li Xiya looked at Zheng Yun.

"Down directly."

Zheng Yun looked at the stairs and spoke decisively.

There was a dark hole under the stairs, the carpet covering the steps was eroded and blackened by mold, and the dim wallpaper peeled off the walls.

The core of the entire manor should be underground. Regardless of the core secret of Goode Manor or the goals of Jia Si Aileen and others, they should all point directly to the underground of the manor.

"It's dark enough."

Kedester pulled out his flashlight.

"Bring them on."

Zheng Yun pointed at the Yin soldiers beside him, and Kedester immediately took action and put the flashlight into the hands of these comrades.

"Master Immortal, those voices suddenly stopped."

Ji Dao listened carefully and was reminded.

"Why did the sound stop?" Zheng Yun asked.

"It's just those clicks and clicks." Ji Dao simulated the description again, but it was still confusing.

"If there is a voice, please alert me immediately."

Zheng Yun took a deep breath and raised his hand.

The Yin soldiers rushed into the stairs shoulder to shoulder. Each Yin soldier held a flashlight in his hand and scrambled to get into the dark and dark stairs, illuminating the place below as dazzling as day.

What a nice person.

The weird atmosphere is gone.

Each person had a strong flashlight, and as the Yin soldiers staggered around, the light beams scattered in all directions. The scene was like an anti-pornography and illegality brigade raiding the alleys of an old neighborhood at night.

"Leave someone here."

Zheng Yun warned Kedester, then walked downstairs slowly, keeping a distance from the Yin soldiers and following him at a distance.

These Yin soldiers are like puppets from the West, or shadow puppets from the East. They have no brains and must be controlled by Zheng Yun personally if they want to deal with emergencies.

Blind corners are prone to accidents.

He must follow.

Otherwise, just call out the three unlucky guys from Tiangong who have explored the Red Mist Ancient City and complete the fully automatic exploration.

"You stay."

Kedester nodded to the hunter, who immediately found a hidden position and watched with binoculars and pistols.

"Master Immortal, does this place have anything to do with us Haiwei?" Jidao followed Zheng Yun, buttoned the wall, looked at the filling in the cracks of the wall and said:

“The architectural approach is completely different from Triton.”

"Look further down."

Zheng Yun raised his flashlight and swept deeper. The underground corridor was three to forty meters long and about six meters high. It was luxuriously decorated but still had a Western-style gloominess.

Just got down to the next level.

Nothing can be said.

Perhaps there are ruins of gods and ghosts in the East below, and the entire manor is built on the base of an ancient Triton building.

So many adventures.

He knew the mission of himself and others. They were the descendants of the Supervisory Immortal Division and were born to do this. If they didn't encounter the Triton ruins, it could only be said that they hadn't reached the end yet.

"Wear a gas mask."

Zheng Yun looked back at Kedester. He still had a cigar in his mouth and the rifle on his back in his hand. He looked like an outlaw, but he was easily poisoned.

Everyone went down the stairs.

Walking to the end of this section of stairs, the stairs suddenly turned back and went downwards in a zigzag shape, and an underground corridor appeared at the end, which had the same layout as the attic.

The bottom is impermeable to light.

But at this moment, it has been illuminated by Yin soldiers. These Yin soldiers are like human-shaped lamps, bringing light wherever they go.

The sound of water is more obvious.

But it was slightly different from what Ji Dao described. The sound of rushing water was dull, like the water in a well rising and falling.

"What it is?"

Ji Dao stuck his head out and looked towards the corner of the corridor.

There was something like a diesel generator stacked in front of it, with many pipes and wires plugged into it, extending from the first underground floor to the second underground floor along the zigzag stairs.

"Professional diving equipment." Kedester's expression suddenly changed and he said solemnly: "This kind of equipment can provide a steady stream of oxygen, allowing people to dive for a long time."

"It seems there's something really wrong down there."

Li Xiya walked to the equipment, squatted down and observed it carefully, then turned back to Zheng Yun and said, "It won't take more than half a year."

Looking left and right, there were still many rooms on the left and right of this underground corridor. There was one on their left. They walked over and took a quick look. The dust inside was agitated and dark and oppressive.

The flashlight beam shone into it.

This seemed to be a bathroom, with a massage table and a huge bathtub in it, but nothing else. It seemed that the people who guarded the manor had moved it to other places.

"bathroom?"

Kedester frowned in thought.

Zheng Yun also fell into deep thought at the same time.

Which bathroom is built in a dark basement?But the decoration here is still very luxurious, which means that this is also the business scope of the manor, not the kitchen or utility room.

Is there an underground sea cave beneath Goode Manor?People from the upper class come here to experience deep-sea diving?After diving, go up to the second floor to take a shower and then go back to the room to rest?

What does this have to do with heavenly pleasure?
"This row is full of bathrooms, for both men and women. There is also a boiler room for heating hot water in the middle." Kedester quickly walked deep into the corridor and circled around, scanning the openings of each room.Because it's underground.

His words were echoed.

"How do you tell the difference between men and women?"

Ji Dao took a flashlight and went over to take a look, but saw that in the women's bathroom that Kedester mentioned, there was a cabinet of massage oils for skin care, as well as some vinyl record players.

Many years have passed.

Those things have long since decayed.

"Then continue."

Zheng Yun ordered the Yin soldiers to move forward.

There is no need to reason or guess now. You can know what is going on by going down and taking a look for yourself.

Everyone continued to walk down the stairs, and they were obviously more careful along the way. After two flights of zigzag stairs, they finally reached the second underground floor, a wide hall.

This hall is circular.

The diameter is about 20 meters.

The flashlight beam shines in all directions.

This place is still luxuriously furnished. The carpet underfoot is very thick and soft to the touch. The walls are covered with golden wallpaper, which directly depicts naked angels and happy figures.

There are floor lamps placed in the corners of the surrounding walls.

There is a row of luxurious sofas in front of them, with dining tables and ashtrays on the left and right of the sofas, a bar and wine cellar next to them, cabinets for storing cigars and a long row of cloakrooms.

The atmosphere has an eerie church feel.

A church of extreme hedonists, the murals above depict scenes of heaven, and even the air is filled with joy.

But the most eye-catching thing is the curved wall in front of the stairs. There are a row of dark circular grooves on the wall, and black iron cages are stuck in the grooves.

The iron cage is just as tall as a person.

Can lock a person in.

Moreover, this iron cage can obviously be raised and lowered, and is tied by a thick iron chain. There are holes below, and the sound of rushing water comes from these holes.

The function of this facility is obvious:

Put the person in an iron cage, lower the iron cage, and the cage will sink into the hole until it is submerged by the sea water in the depths.

"What is this? A torture device?"

Ji Dao turned his head and looked at Kedester. This scene was like the pig-dipping cage in the ancient East, where people were put into the cage and thrown into the river to drown. In addition, there were similar tricks in extorting confessions through words and deeds.

"What exactly does Good Manor run?"

Licia also looked at Kedester at the same time. This was obviously the core business of Goode Manor, and Kedester must know better than them how to play the Western upper class society.

"I don't know, it's like looking at a shark's cage, but it shouldn't be that simple. It might be related to enjoyment."

Kedester frowned and shook his head. There was an oxygen concentrator pipe under their feet, connected to one of the caves, and there were oxygen bottles and equipment left by explorers everywhere.

Many explorers have been here.

The relics of the explorers they found on the first floor of the attic should have been left by these explorers. They died after entering this place and were no longer able to take away their passports.

This kind of iron cage is also available in modern times. It is a landscape cage for watching giant carnivorous fish. Visitors can bring diving equipment into the cage and have close contact with the fish.

But what pleasure does it bring?
Is there something weird down there?
"There are ten cages here, six of them are below."

Zheng Yun looked serious and whispered, no matter what the purpose of the cages is, why are these six cages down there?
"Someone went down?"

Li Xiya quickly looked at Ji Dao. He had heard the clicking and clicking sounds before. Could it be the sound of the iron cable and the winch?Someone just entered the cave?

"maybe."

Ji Dao didn't dare to say anything. He did not hear anyone's voice and could not be sure if anyone was going down. But looking around at the situation here, the only sound that could be made was the rattling of the chains.

"Go over and take a look, be careful of the water."

Zheng Yun frowned and sent out his Yin soldiers, approaching the caves cautiously. He was mainly worried that someone would be ambushing them under the caves.

They encountered no danger along the way, but this might just be the beginning of danger. The other explorers were not fools. Since they died, there was a problem here.

But how did the others die?

Did they die in a cave or here?
If he died in a cave, why would they take the initiative to enter such a weird place to die?This is obviously illogical. Who would risk their lives for a joke?

Didn't you run away when you realized something was wrong?
This is not the Hades Pavilion. Once you enter, you will quietly turn into a Yin soldier and you will never be able to escape control.

"Chief, we'd better fire a few shots. This manor is obviously guarded, probably those dark-colored fishermen."

Kedester picked up his rifle. He wanted to shoot into each hole and kill whatever was underneath.

"Also."

Zheng Yun nodded.

He has more efficient methods, such as when diving in the strait, the black sign thrown by the ghost general will dissolve into black water lines when it enters the water, and countless sea monsters will die if they touch it.

Throw down a sign.

Nothing can live down there.

But considering that they may go out to explore later, it is best not to completely turn the water source into stagnant water.

Bang bang bang.

Kedester walked slowly to the hole, crouched down, stretched out his rifle, and fired continuously at the bottom of the hole.

Ten Yin soldiers also walked slowly to the cave.

They squatted on the ground and stared directly into the water, slowly pulled out the pistol from the waist, and awkwardly pulled the bolt. Because they were not good at aiming, they directly reached into the hole.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

The sound of fierce firing echoed into the basement.

All ten holes were riddled with bullets.

"There is water under one meter."

Ji Dao draws precise conclusions from the sound of water.

He was not optimistic about this kind of luck-based approach, as even one hundred shots might not be able to get one shot, but as Zheng Yun thought, their methods were too vicious and not applicable here.

It's a pity that I didn't bring grenades.

Otherwise, you can throw a few coins down.

"Turn around."

Zheng Yun looked back at other places, especially the wine cabinet and wine cellar in the corner. There might be other clues there.

Because they still had a question. Goode had bought wine on the surrounding islands, but the manor itself had a wine cellar.

"Okay." Li Xiya followed Zheng Yun.

The two walked around and saw that there were many wine barrels in the wine cellar, filled with a rich and mellow aroma that could even penetrate the gas masks and reach directly to the tips of their noses.

"These wines are actually new."

"The packaging date was three months ago."

Licia went over to take a look, and then immediately backed away with her mask on her face. She was worried that the wine was a trap.

"Chief, there is a problem here too!"

Kedester shouted in a low voice, and Zheng Yun immediately walked over to check, but saw that in the hole in front of him, the one-meter-deep water surface was illuminated by a flashlight, giving off a light blue color.

At this moment.

Something floated up from the depths, a white strip-shaped object with a crystal clear texture, like a transparent ribbon.

And it's huge.

Maybe a meter long.

"Chief, this seems to be the tentacles of a jellyfish. There is a large jellyfish underneath, and we broke the body with a gun."

Kedester's expression was slightly strange.

It seems to explain one thing. This Good Manor may really be an extreme hedonistic heresy. Like the explorer book, it uses some methods to obtain pleasure.

Mushroom snails are used in the book.

Is some kind of jellyfish used here?
