Chapter 652 Old Road (10)

“Start somewhere you haven’t been yet.”

As if he didn't expect Fu Qian to agree so simply, Lei hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth.

It seems that all the places where activities have been carried out have been found.

Fu Qian glanced at the camping lantern held in Lei's hand and thought to himself that this was not surprising.

"Then let's get started."

After greeting Fran, who had a stiff expression, Fu Qian directly motioned to the two of them to lead the way.

Fran looked obviously a little resistant, and she was still more inclined to go down the mountain directly to find Jones and the others.

But considering that she didn't even know how to drive, she hesitated for two seconds and followed directly.

…

The main body of this building on the mountain is divided into three parts, connected by corridors in the middle. The total area is still very exaggerated, and it takes a lot of effort to search.

The place where the five people stayed was just the side closest to the entrance.

As for the places that Lei mentioned that he has not been to before, he will undoubtedly have to go through the corridor.

The problem is that compared to this place, other places obviously lack maintenance and look much more dilapidated.

Coupled with this series of events, the feeling along the way is particularly eerie.

As the four of them walked through the creaking corridor, Fran's expression became visibly tense.

It wasn't just her, including Ray and Cartman who made the suggestion. Their faces were tense at the moment, and they were hesitating every step. They didn't know if they regretted this idea.

In such an atmosphere, Fu Qian's performance is particularly eye-catching.

Although he was not leading the way, his posture was undeniably relaxed and leisurely.

While walking, I observed the surroundings carefully, just like walking in a park.

After the initial shock, this leisurely stroll succeeded in boosting the morale of the team, and finally someone was willing to speak.

"It looks like no one has been here."

After passing through the door at the end of the corridor, there was a hall that was more spacious than before. After looking around for a while, Cartman finally spoke first.

really.

Fu Qian looked around. Most of the doors and windows were closed, and the musty smell was undoubtedly stronger.

Although it was noon, the light was still very dark.

Judging from the thick dust on the floor, no one has been here recently.

In fact, it is hard to imagine what kind of mentality Jessica would have, and she would continue to walk in after seeing this scene.

"Should we go back the same way and search other areas first?"

After hearing what Cartman said, Ray on the side also spoke up and agreed with his opinion.

"It does sound reasonable, but the description is still not accurate enough."

Seeing that both Cartman and Fran seemed to agree with this suggestion, Fu Qian suddenly spoke.

"The current situation is enough to rule out only this layer and above."

He pointed to the stairs at the opposite corner of the hall.

"What if Jessica didn't take our route, but entered here from another place?"

"You mean we go to the first floor from there to have a look?"

Lei immediately realized what he meant.

"Actually, what I'd rather say is the basement."

Looking at the increasingly serious faces of the three of them, Fu Qian smiled secretly.

"After all, according to previous experience, we have found good things in the basement."

nice one……

Fu Qian's expressions combined with the description successfully reminded the three of them of the terrifying Iron Maiden, and their morale was hit hard again.

Unfortunately, the culprit didn't care about this at all and walked straight towards the stairs.

A few seconds later, the three people behind him followed after some ideological struggle.

…

The stairs were relatively solid and there were no traces of walking on them.

And all the way downstairs, you can see that the surroundings are even more gloomy and dilapidated, with debris everywhere. Even if you are walking in a group, you feel doubly depressed.

Fu Qian didn't seem to realize it. While admiring the bustling scene, he kept walking. After walking around in a circle, he successfully found the passage to continue downward.

"Are you sure it's necessary? It doesn't look like anyone has been here."

Even as the missing man's boyfriend, Cartman couldn't help but hesitate a little when looking at the dark passage.

“As the saying goes, everything comes when it comes.”

After giving an unconvincing reason, Fu Qian took the camping lantern from his hand and walked out immediately.

In fact, from the beginning, Fu Qian didn't think Jessica would simply get lost.

Based on the surrounding scene, Fu Qian didn't think she had any courage to walk into this place or any other place alone.

Therefore, in his opinion, it makes no sense to act along the lines of searching for lost people.

There must be something abnormal that caused Jessica's disappearance. This is what should be focused on.

So no matter what, it is impossible to let go before paying for the basement.

The worst-case scenario is to find nothing, and then go down the mountain to find Jones with an irrefutable situation.

…

As it turns out, the worst-case scenario didn't happen.

As the four of them arrived at the end of the more spacious corridor on the underground floor, an open door immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Mainly from the location, it is completely different from the normal layout, and the shape is even more unpretentious, resembling the legendary hidden passage.

…

"Want to go in?"

Moving forward, after a brief inspection, the team members looked at each other, hesitant about this unexpected gain.

It's not their fault. Standing at the door, in the light that couldn't be called bright, you could see that there was a downward passage inside. It was so dark and bottomless that it was unknown where it led.

In such a strange place, it still takes some courage to get into such an unknown space.

At least it’s the courage that Jessica most likely doesn’t have.

Here!

At this moment, Fu Qian rushed to the ground and pursed his lips, indicating to everyone to look at the traces there.

There are quite clear marks that the door has just been opened.

…

This action successfully defeated any reason to give up the search, and both Ray and Cartman fell silent.

"Jessica really went down from here?"

At this moment, Fran took a deep breath and stared at the marks on the ground with a look of disbelief.

It was obvious that she was more frightened than ever before, but her worries were real since her friend might have entered a place like this.

"Not sure, I can only say it's worth exploring."

While commenting before paying, he pushed the camping lantern back to Cartman.

…

Taking it subconsciously, Cartman was stunned for a moment before he realized that he meant to take the lead.

The subconscious resistance in his heart made him shrink back involuntarily, but he soon realized that as Jessica's boyfriend, he seemed to have no position to refuse.

Finally, under the silent gazes of Ray and Fran, he gritted his teeth, reached out to raise the camping lantern, and walked down.

Sorry for not catching up today. Considering that I don’t dare to stay up late recently, I can only remember the chapter I owed yesterday. Please forgive me.
