Zodiac Survival Game

Chapter 36 Who is locked up?
After successfully entering the study, Liu Xuanmiao remembered that they only knew that the secret room was behind the bookshelf, but they had forgotten to ask Li Dekai where the mechanism was.

Just when Liu Xuanmiao was a little annoyed, he found that He Ge went straight to the desk with a clear purpose.

There are not many things on the desk. Except for a pen holder and a stack of white paper, there is nothing else.

Just when Liu Xuanmiao was wondering why He Ge went straight to the desk, he saw He Ge turning the pen holder with many pens in it.

As the pen holder rotated, the bookshelf that had been tightly connected just now was separated from the middle, revealing a passage that only one person could pass through.

Seeing this, Liu Xuanmiao was stunned, "How did you know that the pen holder was a mechanism?"

Hearing Liu Xuanmiao's question, He Ge raised his head and glanced at her before saying, "I have an institution similar to this at home."

He Ge's words surprised Liu Xuanmiao. After a while, Liu Xuanmiao tentatively said, "Your family's conditions should be pretty good!"

Hearing Liu Xuanmiao's question, He Ge replied without turning his head, "It's okay!"

Although Liu Xuanmiao usually did not hate the rich, when He Ge said such words in an understatement, Liu Xuanmiao still became envious and jealous.

Considering that the secret room behind the bookshelf was dark, Liu Xuanmiao specially found a candle to illuminate it before entering.

After lighting the candles, Liu Xuanmiao and He Ge entered the secret room one after another.

In fact, before entering the secret room, Liu Xuanmiao, who had a relatively sensitive nose, smelled the smell of blood coming from inside.

Although he had been prepared before entering, Liu Xuanmiao was still shocked when he saw the situation inside the secret room.

Li Dekai and the others were not exaggerating. The four walls of the secret room were all covered with dried blood. No wall was immune. In addition, Liu Xuanmiao also found a machete and a cutting board with blood stains on the floor of the secret room.

"Is this the scene of dismemberment?"

Hearing Liu Xuanmiao's question, He Ge, after taking in the surrounding situation, said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be."

Seeing Liu Xuanmiao's frightened look, He Ge said, "Since you are so scared, don't go into the secret room with me."

Hearing what He Ge said, Liu Xuanmiao shook his head, "No, I want to go in with you. After all, I have to face these things sooner or later."

Liu Xuanmiao's words made He Ge a little surprised, "You can go in with me, but you have to promise me that no matter what you see inside, you won't scream?"

Seeing what He Ge said, Liu Xuanmiao patted her chest and promised, "Don't worry! I promise it won't happen."

After looking at the secret room outside, Liu Xuanmiao followed He Ge into the secret room inside.

It has to be said that the secret room inside was at least twice as big as the secret room outside. Of course, what exceeded Liu Xuanmiao and He Ge's expectations was that the secret room inside contained nothing but a bed and a table.

Seeing this, Liu Xuanmiao was a little puzzled, "Why is this secret room inside only a bed and a table? Could it be that someone was actually locked up in this room before?"

Hearing Liu Xuanmiao's question, He Ge did not answer her immediately, but began to search the bed and table.

Soon they made a discovery. Under the quilt, they found a girl's nightgown.

It can be known from the size of the nightgown that its owner should be a relatively thin person. "Did a girl be imprisoned here before? Why would they imprison a girl here?"

Hearing Liu Xuanmiao's question, He Ge said, "It's not clear yet, but it's probably related to the fake duke."

Seeing what He Ge said, Liu Xuanmiao thought for a while and then said, "You mean the person who was imprisoned here before was probably a fake duke?"

Hearing Liu Xuanmiao's question, He Ge nodded and said, "Yeah."

He Ge's words made Liu Xuanmiao a little puzzled, "Then why does the real duke lock up the fake duke?"

Seeing Liu Xuanmiao asking this, He Ge said, "I don't know, okay, is there anything else to see? If not, let's go out!"

Hearing what He Ge said, Liu Xuanmiao quickly said, "No more."

When they came, Liu Xuanmiao and He Ge had good luck, they didn't meet anyone along the way, but when they went back, their luck was not so good.

They had just turned the pen holder to close the bookshelf when they heard the sound of people moving in the corridor.

Seeing this, the two people looked around and immediately hid under the desk.

Basically, as soon as the two people hid their front legs, someone came in from the back legs.

Faced with this situation, Liu Xuanmiao got goosebumps all over her body. Fortunately, the maid who came in just took a book from the bookshelf and left.

After the maid left, Liu Xuanmiao and He Ge got out from under the table.

He wanted to leave this place of right and wrong quickly, but he didn't expect He Ge to stare at the bookshelf and not leave.

Seeing this, Liu Xuanmiao asked with some confusion, "Is there anything wrong with the books on this bookshelf?"

Hearing Liu Xuanmiao's question, He Ge said, "Have you noticed? Almost half of the books on this bookshelf are related to magic."

Seeing what He Ge said, Liu Xuanmiao subconsciously looked at the bookshelf, and then realized that the facts were indeed what He Ge said.

"You mean the Duke is actually magical?"

Hearing Liu Xuanmiao's question, He Ge said, "It's hard to say whether the Duke knows magic, but one thing is certain, magic exists in this world, otherwise these books would not exist in the Duke's bookshelf. .”

He Ge's words made Liu Xuanmiao deep in thought. She thought for a while before saying, "If this is the case, then it would be very reasonable for a living person to turn into chicken nuggets or French fries. After all, this is a The magical world, but these books want to tell us that it’s not just that!”

Hearing Liu Xuanmiao's question, He Ge said, "If other people except us see that the duke is no different from the previous duke, then it means that this fake duke must have some tricks, so he can't do anything about it." If we find out that she is actually a fake, then if this method is not as good as accident, it should be magic."

Seeing what He Ge said, Liu Xuanmiao thought for a moment and then said, "If things are really like what you said, it means that if we want to expose her true face in front of everyone, we have to use magic. But The problem is that none of us know how to do it!”

Hearing what Liu Xuanmiao said, He Ge said, "No, magic is not necessarily required to reveal the identity of the fake duke."
