Chapter 144 146. The Dry Well in the Basement

There are large and small packages piled up next to the fountain in the square, and the members of the expedition team are doing the final inspection.

After chatting for a while, Bai Ye had a better understanding of the five team members—why five?Because Senel, the man in the windbreaker, is really a police officer.

After Senel received the news that the legendary explorer Rick Jones was going to the Pickman Mansion to explore, he immediately blocked the North Point area, and evacuated the people in the North Point area to other areas of Burton City, staying in the North Point area. The waiters in the cafes, the passers-by in the square, A, B, D, Ding... are actually Senel's subordinates.

As for the case of missing children, it is true, but Anna is not the mother of the missing child Stephen.

"I am the doctor of this expedition, nice to meet you."

This woman with deep nasolabial folds introduced herself like this, her smile is very friendly.

And the others...

Sebastian was a gunman with a revolver stuck in each hip. Rodman was gossip--I don't know if the stories about Sebastian's family ruined by the fire were true or not.

Grylls is a veteran explorer and pathfinder with rich knowledge of adventure and survival. His weapon is a small knife. He is also a typical foodie. His habitual trick is to take out some "suspicious" food from his small bag. Food is eaten as a snack.

Rodman is a trap expert and part-time thief, and his role in the expedition team is equivalent to that of a demining engineer.

As for the 'little girl' Joey—Bai Ye doesn't know her actual age, nor does she know if she is still a little girl—because the age is on her immature face, as long as she is over 10 years old, it is possible It was a lie.

Joy has excellent speed and agility based on her thin body, but she has a fairly obvious weakness for behaviors that require brute force. Her role in the team is similar to that of Grylls, and she is also a pathfinder.

The expedition team prepared quite a lot of supplies, and Bai Ye was also assigned a huge backpack.

This is a luggage with a load of 200, which can be superimposed with the player's own luggage, but it cannot be taken out of the scene after the game is over.

The backpack contains ropes, fire starters, canned fast food and other items, all of which are essential for adventure.

When everything was ready, Rick Jones led the team through the air wall leading to the outside in the North Point area, and walked into a dark and dirty alley.

……

This small alley is not empty, there are quite a few of Senel's men who should be guarding here openly and secretly, all of them are fully armed, as if they are facing a big enemy.

The crowd finally stopped in front of an old house.

This is a two-story house, which looks no different from the surrounding houses in appearance. The exterior wall skin of the house is severely peeled off, revealing large mottled black spots. The small square window panes are dilapidated, and the broken curtains flutter from time to time. From a distance, it looks like ghosts floating, and you can see the old chimney standing upright under the dim moonlight, like an isolated tombstone.

A police seal was affixed to the gate of Pickman's mansion, and two police officers wearing Senel's trench coat were guarding beside him.

Senel stepped forward and ordered two men to open the door.

"Let the explorers in."

The two officers complied, with Grylls leading the way toward the house, followed by the rest of the team as they filed in.

Bai Ye heard Senel say to Rick Jones: "Please."

He followed Joey into Pickman's mansion, and noticed that the front hall was small, and the tables and chairs inside were overturned and the wallpaper was peeling off. Everything was swept to both sides of the road, and there was a musty smell in the air.

Four ferocious scratches can be seen everywhere on the wall, which look like the claw marks left by Wolverine's out-of-control attack on the wall. There are also dried and solidified blood on the ground, as well as some kind of white sticky object in the form of jelly.

The expedition team went straight down to the basement and entered a gallery-like room, where some empty picture frames and easels were placed against the walls.

"The owner of the house, Pickman, is a painter, and all his paintings should have been confiscated."

Moving forward, everyone stopped in front of an empty picture frame that was still on the wall.

"Only this picture frame is still hanging on the wall. Is there some mechanism on it?"

Just as Bai Ye was thinking about it, he saw Rodman walk up to the frame, took out the [Authentic Pickman's Works] from his backpack, smoothed it out, and pasted it into the frame.

When this step was completed, there was a rattling sound of gears turning behind the picture frame, and a hole the size of a fingernail was exposed under the picture frame.

Rodman took out the [Stephen's Rubber Badge] again, and inserted the badge into the hole.

boom--

There was a short muffled sound from the wall, and the entire wall was rotated 90 degrees, from horizontal to vertical, exposing two door openings for people to pass sideways.

At the same time, Bai Ye also received a system prompt:

——You have completed the main task [Investigate the North Point District], and you will get rewards: 20 points, 1000 reward points.

——You have triggered a new main mission [The Secret of Pickman’s Mansion]

……

"A lot of points have been added...Is there a follow-up main line?"

It was already foreseeable that when Bai Ye finished this game, he would blow up the top ten chrysanthemums in the standings.

While following the others to the back of the doorway, Bai Ye checked the follow-up main task.

【Secrets of the Pickman House】

[Mission Description: After investigating Pickman's mansion, you found a strange dry well in the deepest part of the basement. There is no other entrance and exit here. It seems... you have to go down to the dry well to find out the truth. 】

[Mission objective: Investigate the dry well in the basement of Pickman's mansion. 】

When Bai Ye squeezed into the doorway sideways, with the help of the light from the torch, he noticed that it looked like a natural cave, with an area of ​​nearly ten square meters, surrounded by strange rocks, with sharp stalagmites hanging on the top. There is a strange dry well.

This dry well is made of stone blocks, and the diameter of the wellhead is about 1.5 meters. Looking down from the wellhead, the bottom is dark and unfathomable.

Rick Jones took the torch from Grylls and threw it down the well.

The torch fell all the way, illuminated the wall of the well, and finally fell on the stone at the bottom of the well, where it was still burning, which also proved that there was oxygen needed for combustion below.

Judging from the time of the fall and the degree of visibility, the height from the wellhead to the bottom of the well is about [-] meters.

Rick Jones nodded slightly and waved his hand.

"Go down."

The team members immediately became active and began to erect a simple lifting device at the wellhead.

Officer Senel, who sent the expedition team here, bid farewell to Rick Jones, returned to the ground alone, and handed over the underground exploration to the expedition team.
