Five or six minutes later, Xiao Ran had arrived at the stone gate of the underground palace.

Matthew and Charlie followed by two bright lights in this straight passageway.

As the lights came on, this section of the road was suddenly illuminated like daylight, and everything became much clearer.

The pattern engraved on the stone door also became clearer.

Although everyone had seen this stone door through the pictures taken by the two small drones before, when they saw it again at this time, they still felt a burst of creepy.

In the center of this stone door is a huge crucifixion cross, in the early Baroque style.

This cross is carved very vividly and meticulously, lifelike, but at the same time gives a sense of pathos and depression.

At first glance, you can even feel that a stream of blood is constantly flowing from Jesus' body, as if you can hear Jesus' painful screams.

Directly below this cross, however, is a scene of hell.

The picture depicts countless hideous-looking ghosts struggling painfully in the River Styx, trying to break free from the shackles of the River Styx and escape from hell.

On the surface of the River Styx directly opposite the end of the cross, a fierce ghost with two horns on his head, leaning out of the Styx with his upper body, is desperately stretching out his right hand, trying to grasp the crucifixion cross above.

But the water of the River Styx transformed into countless chains, locking his waist and legs, and constantly dragging him into the River Styx.

The rest of the ghosts in the Styx were fierce and painful, and their eyes were full of pleading.

They stretched their heads or hands out of the River Styx, kept screaming, and struggled desperately, trying to get out of the river of death and regain a new life.

In order to escape the River Styx, they either reached out and tried to grab the cross above, or they hugged the two-horned ghost and tried to crawl over him and out of the River Styx!

And above the River Styx, several angels armed with spears and bows and arrows flew around in the air.

They seem to be guarding the River Styx, as if they are preventing those ghosts from desecrating the crucifixion cross above, ready to kill at any time.

On both sides of this stone door, stand two rusty knight statues, each holding a crossed sword!

These two knight statues are also in the early Baroque style, but the rust is more serious, which affects the appearance.

But they're also pretty beautiful, and they're two pretty good pieces of antique art.

Looking at this scene in front of them, everyone, including Xiao Ran, was so shocked that they froze in place.

While being shocked, everyone felt an eerie ghost qi, and they were all a little creepy!

After a moment, Xiao Ranfang came to his senses.

Immediately afterwards, he said with emotion:

"Gentlemen, standing in front of this stone door, I really feel like I am about to enter the medieval Inquisition"

"I am a little creepy when I think of Copernicus, who was burned to death by the Inquisition, and the cruel punishments of the legendary Inquisition!"

"The period when this underground palace was built coincided with the horrors of the Inquisition enveloping Europe, coinciding with the right time."

In fact, he didn't just feel that way.

Everyone else, one counted as one, looked at the picture on this stone door, their backs were cold, and they were terrified!

The historians and archaeologists who stayed in the lobby of the apartment building were both frightened and excited.

"Sean is right, this stone door does smell like the Inquisition, maybe this was once the secret prison of the Inquisition."

"The period when the Bastille was built, and the existence of this secret prison, coincided with the time of the Inquisition"

"If this is the case, this underground palace will become more precious, more historically monumental and of research value"

Several historians and archaeologists said, all of them fluttering.

At the same time, they also can't wait to enter this underground tunnel immediately and explore it for themselves in front of this strange stone gate.

At this moment, Xiao Ran's voice suddenly came again.

"I don't know if you have found it, the pattern carved on this stone door is very similar to the modern carving master Rodin's masterpiece "The Gate of Hell", the theme is basically the same, but the artistic style is different"

"In terms of artistry, the carved pattern on this stone door is almost more limited than Rodin's "The Gates of Hell", and it is also a top-notch work of art, which is very precious"

Hearing his words, the rest of the people began to pay attention to the artistry of these stone carvings.

After some observation, people who could understand these stone carvings all nodded in agreement.

Pierre, an expert in antique art appraisal, is even more excited.

After admiring the creepy patterns on the stone door for a while, Xiao Ran began to check the situation of the stone door and the ground in front of it.

He carefully wiped the dust and moss from the ground with a towel and carefully examined it.

After making sure it was safe, he walked to the stone gate and began to check the situation on the stone gate.

After a few moments, he had made a judgment.

"There are no traps on this stone door, it is very safe, we are ready to wipe off the dust and moss on the stone door and take a look"

"Matthew, you come to wipe off the dust and moss on this stone door, don't worry about safety, but the movements should be gentle."

With that, he stepped aside and gave way.

"Okay, Sean, I'm very honored"

Matthew nodded excitedly and immediately stepped forward to wipe it.

The reason why Xiao Ran withdrew and gave this job to Matthew was because he was an atheist.

The motifs on this stone door are very religious, especially the crucifixion.

Coupled with the fact that a webcast is now going on, countless people are watching everything that happens here.

In order to avoid suspicion and avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he retreated.

After retreating to the side, he began to inspect the two bronze knight statues.

The two knight statues are rusty and have long lost their original luster, but they still have a bit of majesty and murderous aura.

There was nothing special about the knight statue on the right, Xiao Ran looked at it carefully, but found nothing.

Later, he went to the statue on the left and examined it carefully.

A moment later, he suddenly snorted in surprise.

"This knight statue is so special, it seems that some places can move, maybe it is a mechanism to open the stone door."

"Charlie, you take the metal detector and scan the ground around this statue, as well as the wall behind it."

When the words fell, Charlie immediately picked up the metal detector placed on the floor and walked over.

Before approaching, he immediately used a metal detector to start scanning several locations designated by Xiao Ran.

As the probe approached the ground in front of the statue, a pleasant chirping sound suddenly sounded at the scene.

Apparently, under the floor in front of this knight statue, there are some metal objects hidden.

Xiao Ran stepped forward to check the detected signal, and then said with a smile:

"Under this ground, there are some metal objects hidden, which should not be a fatal trap, but a mechanism to open this stone door"

"It seems that the key to opening this stone door lies in this rusty knight statue, as long as you find the right way to open it, you can open this stone door."

Next, Charlie scanned several other places and found some metal objects one after another.

Especially the wall behind the statue of the knight, the metal signal is strong.

Xiao Ran stepped forward to check and determined that hidden behind that wall should be the mechanical device that opened the stone door.

More importantly, those metal objects are connected to the metal objects in the ground in front of the knight statue.

From this, Xiao Ran further determined the location of the organ that opened this stone door.

On the other side, Matthew also wiped the dust and moss from the stone door.

The pattern engraved on this stone door suddenly became clearer.
