Chapter 302: Climbing the Tower (Part 9)

"This staircase should lead to the fourth floor... or somewhere else. Anyway, it can take us forward." Feng Bujue pointed his flashlight upward and said.

In front of the four people, there is a spiral staircase. The steps are made of stone and have a very unique shape. Architecturally speaking, this staircase is impossible to build because there are not enough supporting points. But considering that this is already in the game, and the script is very unscientific in setting, no one cares about it...

"Well...there are indeed footprints on the steps." The chief came over and looked at the steps and said.

"And there are only footsteps going up..." Honghu added.

Qiu Feng thought: "Except for the fact that they walked backwards to return to this floor... The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman probably went to the fourth floor and did not come back."

Feng Bujue said: "I walked around the entire third floor and calculated the area. It is much larger than the two floors with lights downstairs. It is obvious that there is a problem with space. The lack of lighting equipment must be to cover this up." He paused and said, "I think the guiding clue at this level is the smell. As long as you smell the breath of the dead body during the investigation, you can find the two murder scenes. One place, and then, based on the bloody footprints, you can find another scene and the stairs leading to the fourth floor.”

"That is to say...you judge that apart from these three locations, there are no other clues on this floor?" Honghu said.

"At least that's what I think. Of course... It's not impossible to really explore the middle area of ​​this floor in detail, but in this kind of open environment without light, it will take a lot of time, and it may not be possible. Harvest." Feng Bujue said: "At present, it is unknown how many floors there are and whether there are lighting equipment on those floors... It is better to save the power of the flashlight."

"I also feel that there is no need for further exploration on this level." Qiu Feng said: "Crazy brother has already explored the surrounding area and found these three locations that can form a complete information chain. If we want to explore again, we only have With two flashlights, the troops can only be divided into two groups, and the detection efficiency of one group is likely to be much slower than that of the crazy brother. "

"Second the proposal," said the Chief Comptroller.

Honghu said, "I have no objection, but..." He looked up at the end of the spiral staircase, where there was a rectangular wooden door embedded in the ceiling, "Who is going to push that wooden door open? What if there is The ax is waiting up there..."

"Just let Qiufeng use the broom to push it away." Feng Bujue said, "The ax can hit the broom at most."

"You are so damn witty..." Qiu Feng replied, but the modal particle that seemed to be a swear word was not blocked by the system. But after he finished speaking. Still he led the way up the stairs with a look of helplessness.

Feng Bujue shrugged and glanced at the other two teammates. The three of them didn't speak. They just smiled and kept up with Qiu Feng's pace.

The distance of this staircase is not long. After going around a circle and a half, the autumn wind approaches the height of the ceiling. He picked up the broom in his hand, turned the end of the stick upward, and pressed it against the wooden door. Push it upwards hard, and the board will open with a creak.

A little light shone down, and when I looked up through the wooden door, I saw that the fourth floor seemed to be a space with a rather high top. There is a curved wall very close by. Since the light is coming from the side, I don’t know what the light source is.

"Hey... what's this smell..." Qiu Feng stood at the front, and he smelled a strange smell as soon as he opened the wooden board.

"Probably another corpse." Feng Bujue stood behind him and replied in a calm tone.

"Then it's okay for me to go up like this..." Qiu Feng said again.

"They are already corpses. What is there to be afraid of?" Feng Bujue said.

What he said is a matter of opinion. Although most people in this world are afraid of dead bodies, there are also many people who think living people are more terrifying.

After Qiu Feng took a few deep breaths. He rushed forward with all his strength. He knew that if there really was an ax waiting to fall in the blind corner of his sight, it would be dangerous to peek his head furtively. It would be better to rush forward in an instant and face the opponent directly from an equal angle.

Feng Bujue, who followed closely behind, followed unhurriedly with a relaxed and comfortable expression. Honghu and the chief were blocked behind Brother Jue, so they could only follow his temper.

After the four people walked up to the fourth floor one after another, they finally saw clearly the situation above the wooden door.

This is the inside of a windmill…

The surrounding walls are made of bricks and wood and are surrounded by a circle. And the light... seemed to be sunlight, shining in from the small window above the windmill.

As for that weird smell...it's from the scarecrow. On the wall on one side of the windmill, four players found its body. The death state was unprecedentedly strange.

There was a rusty spear that penetrated the brick wall from the outside of the windmill and hit the scarecrow standing inside the windmill. The scarecrow's body hung like a sausage on the wall.

Because its straw head was stuffed with the witch's brain, and a spear passed right through its head, the brains were all over the scarecrow.

"Where should I start from?" Qiu Feng said while looking at this scene.

"Just go out and take a look at the situation outside." When Feng Bujue spoke, he had already reached the door of the windmill and was about to open the door and go out.

His teammates didn't stop him, they just followed him out.

Outside the windmill is a space like a drama stage.

The fourth floor is about the same size as the first floor. The ceiling is more than ten meters high, but there are no supporting pillars around. On the ceiling, blue sky and white clouds are painted with oil paint... On the four walls in the distance, in addition to the same sky and clouds, there are also green mountains, rivers, etc.

At an angle between the ceiling and the two walls, there is a "sun" suspended by four steel wires. The diameter of this thing is about three meters. It seems to be made of paper, but for some reason, it is indeed glowing... and the light it emits is no different from real sunlight. When it is sprinkled on the body, it can even make people feel a little warm.

"Each layer is more bizarre than the last..." Chief Ji sighed.

Feng Bujue circled the windmill for half a circle and saw the truth that the scarecrow was stabbed to death, "Huh... I guessed it was this guy..."

The other three also looked over there, and saw... outside the windmill, the back half of the spear that killed the scarecrow was still horizontal in the air, but the "knight" who used the spear to attack was already dead on the ground.

The deceased was wearing a standard medieval knight's armor, and his head had been chopped off along with the helmet. The wound on his neck was very neat, and it seemed to be the work of an axe. (To be continued...)
