Chapter 894: Death Sewer, another reduction in personnel!
"Keep looking for clues!"
Lin Baici watched the water flow out of the dormitory and spread in the corridor.
This time the space is larger, so the water will rise much more slowly, and everyone will have more time to look for clues. However, since the area is larger, it will take more time to search.
Lin Baici prepared to take a walk around and give it a rough check.
"Everyone who is not dead, move!"
The fish ball man yelled and urged everyone to work. Two people collapsed on the ground and didn't want to move, so he kicked them twice.
"Shall we start from here?"
Lin Baici suggested.
Their current location was closer to the end of the corridor on the left, estimated to be more than thirty meters away.
"It's all up to you."
Yudan Lao wiped his wet hair and laughed.
It’s easy to explore Shenxu with Lin Baici.
He was in the dark water just now, his heart sinking, thinking that he might be in trouble this time. Unexpectedly, Lin Baici turned the situation around again.
So strong!
Sizzle! Sizzle!
The energy-saving lamp above my head flickered frequently and made electric sound, as if it would break down at any time.
There are many identical metal doors on both sides of the corridor.
Xia Hongyao knocked on it with her dagger and put her ear close to it to listen.
"The door is so thick, I can't hear anything!"
Gao Ponytail didn't try to open the door. What if it was filled with water? It would be a big trouble if it was opened.
Lin Baici walked more than ten meters, then suddenly stopped and looked back.
Swish!
The people following behind also stopped and looked back in unison.
"Lin Shen, what's wrong?"
The girl with the wedding ring was nervous. Could it be that Master Lin discovered something?
"Why are you all following me?"
Lin Baici frowned.
"..."
So that's the reason?
Everyone looked embarrassed!
I follow you, of course, because you are my close friend and it’s safest to be around you.
"Sea King, Magician, why are you following us?"
Fishball looked at Kresser and Raphios with a teasing look.
It’s fine for Huang Cheng and his people to follow Lin Baici, after all, wanting to live is human instinct, but you two are dragon-level, don’t you feel ashamed to follow Lin Baici?
Kresser was embarrassed. He had rarely done this before, so he had no skillful excuses to deal with it.
To put it bluntly, this battle was divine pollution, which put too much pressure on him. If it were ordinary pollution, he would definitely do a speed run alone.
Raphios was young and energetic, and he cared about his reputation. After being pointed out by the fish ball man, he turned around and left to search the other side.
Ian and his people didn't want to leave, but they followed in the end.
"Go away, don't follow me!"
Lin Baici scolded.
There is actually something dark in his heart.
Only when these people act alone can they trigger rule pollution, so that they can collect intelligence.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to help these people?
Since Lin Baici had spoken, the people in Huang Cheng didn't dare to follow anymore. They could only watch Hua Yueyu and the others hitch a ride with Lin Baici.
The end of the corridor was blocked by a cement wall, with marks of water soaking and drying on it.
On the left side, there is a large double iron door, tightly locked.
"According to the analysis of the building structure, after opening this door, there should be stairs, right?"
Xia Hongyao knocked on the iron gate.
You can tell from the sound that it's very thick and you can't open it with brute force.
On the right wall, there is a built-in fire cabinet.
Through the glass cover, you can see a fire hose, a fire extinguisher, and a fire axe with a red painted axe.
These things are all rusty, and it's obvious that they have been left there for a long time.
"Could these things be the key props?"
Jin Yingzhen can't tell the difference between gods and taboos.
"It's not something that God hates anyway!"
Xia Hongyao can be confirmed.
The fire extinguisher cabinet is locked with a rusty lock, which is designed to protect against gentlemen but not villains, because the things inside can be taken out by breaking the glass cover.
"This is not a solution. We will be dragged down!"
Nangong Shu was worried.
"That's right. After finally escaping from the pollution of rules, we still have to face that human-headed god. This situation is too bad!"
Sannomiya Airi thought: "We must find a way to lure that god out and confront him directly!"
"We can't keep up with its pace anymore!"
Li Yintong smiled bitterly when she heard this: "Even a fool like me knows what to do, but the problem is, gods are not chess pieces that we can control."
"Haha, this time with Brother Lin, I feel a lot less pressure than when I led the team by myself before!"
Yudan Lao put his arm around Lin Baici's shoulders and said, "How about we always team up from now on?"
"Great!"
Li Yintong cheered, this was the development she wanted to see most.
"Is it really okay for you to poach my right-hand men right in front of me?"
Xia Hongyao said disdainfully: "Be careful or you won't be able to be friends anymore."
"Hey, just kidding!"
Li Yintong hurried to comfort her, she thought people with high ponytails were nice and they could be lifelong friends.
The water on the ground had only risen to the ankles, so everyone had time to chat.
"Lin God!"
From the other end of the corridor, Kreizer's voice was heard.
"Is there a situation?"
Xia Hongyao raised her eyebrows, immediately grabbed Lin Baici, and excitedly dragged him over.
"It's our turn as a team, Holmes Xia and Watson Lin, to take action."
"No matter how difficult the murder case is, I will solve it for you."
High Ponytail muttered.
"What did you say?"
Lin Baici was happy.
"Uh!"
Xia Hongyao paused, feeling embarrassed: "How about you be Sherlock Holmes and I'll be his assistant Watson!"
"I'd better let me be Detective Xia's assistant!"
With Xia Hongyao around, no matter what the occasion, it will never be boring.
"Hehe, I knew my little Linzi is the best!"
High ponytail is very happy.
At the end of this corridor is a T-shaped fork.
The right side of the T is 50 meters long, with a double iron gate at the end. There is no road on the left side, which is a 5-meter-long area. Two public toilets were built on the left and right sides of it.
There is no door. Standing here, you can see that there is a public washbasin inside and a huge glass mirror installed on the wall.
Kreizer, Raphios and the others stood at the door and did not go in.
Because under the ceiling of this public toilet, there were some chains as thick as baby arms hanging down, and at the other end of the chains, there was a corpse hanging upside down.
These corpses had been soaked in water and were swollen all over. They looked like swollen sausages that had expired.
"What the heck!"
Li Yintong gasped, this scene was too horrible.
"These people are probably guests attending the auction!"
Huangcheng Reasoning.
From the clothes found on the bodies, we can tell that they were suits and dresses that were worn for grand occasions, and the women were also wearing expensive jewelry.
"Woo woo, if we die, we won't be hung here too, right?"
The girl with the wedding ring cried out of fear.
These corpses were obviously the unlucky ones who encountered the human-headed god and were contaminated and killed by its rules.
“That’s exciting!”
Xia Hongyao walked in.
Behind the long washstands is a row of cubicle toilets with wooden doors.
Most of the wooden doors were damaged and had all kinds of messy graffiti on them.
There is a doorway on the right wall of this bathroom, without a curtain, and inside is a shower room.
Xia Hongyao went over and took a look.
The shower room is not big, with two rows of twenty-four shower heads in total. Water is dripping at this moment, and a damp smell hits your nose.
Lin Baici also came in. He walked around the corpses and wanted to check the washbasin.
Just as he passed by a bloated female corpse, the corpse's swollen belly suddenly burst.
boom!
A gas of rotting internal organs rushed out, and a large pile of intestines fell to the ground with a crash.
"Fuck!"
"OH MY GOD!"
"FUCK!"
Everyone cursed and immediately covered their noses.
This is also an enclosed space with no ventilation holes, so the stench is so strong that it won't dissipate in a short time.
The girls who originally wanted to follow Lin Baici in all stopped.
Even people as bold and thoughtful as Gu Qingqiu and Sannomiya Airi didn't want to stay in such a place for long.
Only Xia Hongyao doesn't care!
After checking the shower room, she happily came to find Lin Baici.
"Assistant Lin, what do you think?"
Only this kind of perverted and horrifying murder scene is worthy of the intervention of Detective Xia and Assistant Lin.
"The clue to escape may be in this bathroom!"
Lin Baici saw a hole under the washbasin, blocked by an iron plug as big as a fist.
This should be a sewer opening.
Krezer came over and said, "If we unplug this plug, can we drain the accumulated water?"
"Would you know if you try it?"
Lin Baici knew that someone was about to get into trouble.
Kresser would never do anything that could potentially be contaminated, and would definitely use cannon fodder.
"hehe!"
Kresser smiled and was not in a hurry.
The water is now above our ankles, and it's still a long way from everyone being drowned.
He couldn't enter other rooms, and this was the only public room, so Lin Baici decided to search it carefully again. He walked into the shower room and heard a loud bang coming from the corridor outside.
Yudan Lao immediately went over to check.
There was a room full of water and the door was suddenly opened.
"Trouble!"
Yudan Lao stood at the door, looking into the room, frowning as he saw thick streams of water gushing out from the four corners of the ceiling.
This is definitely not a coincidence.
"It seems that every once in a while, an iron door will be broken open!"
Hua Yueyu was worried that if this happened, there would be more water inlets, and even if the corridor was very wide, it would soon be filled with water.
In fact, the little fish man's concerns are completely correct.
Five minutes later, another iron door was washed open by the water, and the water level rose to the knee level.
Although it is still far away from the mouth and nose, everyone's psychological pressure has increased a lot.
No one had time to rest. Their nerves were on edge and they began to search the corridor in an all-out manner, trying to find clues to escape.
boom!
Another iron gate was rushed open, and the accumulated water rushed out like a small Qiantang River tide.
Gu Qingqiu glanced at his waterproof watch and said, "According to this rule, a door should be opened every five minutes."
"Alumni, we don't have much time left!"
Everyone knows that the situation is critical, but there is no point in being anxious. This is not physical work and you can persevere by gritting your teeth. But when it comes to solving puzzles, you just can't think of it.
And as the water level rises, it becomes more difficult to find clues.
When the accumulated water reaches the chest, it is no longer possible to see the situation below through the water layer. If you want to find clues, you have to dive deeper.
"I'll try to unplug the iron plug and drain the water!"
Krezer didn't wait any longer and called a young European man to go to the public toilet.
Lin Baici followed.
"Go pull it out!"
Kreizer ordered a young man with many freckles on his face.
"Fio!"
The freckled young man didn't want to do it, so he asked Raphios for help.
Raphios's face was gloomy: "Kreiser, can't you use those Kyushu people?"
"You are a dragon-level giant of the Celestial God Club. You are totally disgraced for doing this!"
Ian despised.
Snapped!
Before she could finish her words, Kresser slapped her in the face.
"Ian, if it weren't for Fio, you would be a corpse now!"
Kresser snorted.
Rafios is the club's rising star. I tolerated your criticisms, but who do you think you are?
Do you really think that dragon-level giants are worthless?
The burning pain on Ian's face made her realize that she had indeed said something she shouldn't have said, but she was still indignant, so she looked at Raphios.
I hope Raphios can save her face.
But Raphios didn't.
Are you kidding? Apart from a young man like Lin Baici, who would provoke a Dragon-level person for no reason?
The people from Kyushu gathered at the bathroom door to watch the fun.
"Fuck, there's an internal conflict?"
Huang Cheng was shocked.
"Lin Shen's power of deterrence is really strong!"
The wedding ring girl sighed.
"Yes, if it weren't for Lord Lin, we would be the ones being bullied and ordered around by Kreizer now!"
Everyone sighed, and they could see how much face Lin Baici had because Krez would rather let his compatriots do the work of threatening him than touch those who had no close relationship with Lin Baici but shared the same nationality.
"Move quickly!"
Kresser urged.
When the freckled young man saw that Raphios didn't speak up for him, he knew he couldn't escape, so he took a deep breath, crawled under the washbasin, and grabbed the chain on the iron plug.
The freckled young man placed his feet on the ground, half squatted, and after standing firmly like a horse stance, he began to lean his body back with force and pull the iron plug.
He tried five or six times, but the iron plug didn't move at all.
"Lord Poseidon, it's too tight, I can't pull it out!"
The freckled young man looked miserable.
"continue!"
Kresser's voice was cold: "If you can't pull it out, just keep pulling it out!"
"How about getting someone stronger to try?"
After the freckled young man finished speaking, he was slapped twice by Kresser.
Negotiate terms with me?
I’m giving you face, right?
Even though he beat up the freckled young man, Kreizer still walked over to Lin Baici and asked, "Does anyone on your side have a power-related divine grace?"
"Find someone strong enough to pull the plug!"
"Let him try again!"
Lin Baici was very strong, but he definitely wouldn't try to pull it out. His intuition told him that anyone who tried to pull it out would end up in a bad way.
"Lin Shen, you can't play like this."
Krezer smiled bitterly: "Is my sincerity not enough?"
"enough!"
They are cheating their own people, and they are indeed very sincere.
"They are just some trash, why do you care about them? If you are worried about your reputation being ruined, I will kill them all when we get out!"
Kresser lowered his voice.
When Sannomiya Airi heard this, she felt speechless and amused. This person was really thoughtful.
Raphios was in a dilemma. He could no longer expect Krezner to stand on the same side with him. Should he challenge Lin Baici himself?
Before leaving the confined chamber, Raphios still had some confidence, but now...
Can someone really find clues?
To offend Lin Baici for the sake of a companion is really a losing deal.
But we can't just watch our companions die, can we?
What Raphios cared about was not the life of his companion, but his face. Just as he was struggling, there was a bang and the iron plug was suddenly pulled out from the freckled young man.
The accumulated water immediately rushed into the sewer.
"I pulled it out!"
The freckled young man shouted, threw away the chain, and was about to go to the side.
The suction of the sewer was quite strong, but the opening was only ten centimeters in diameter, so it was impossible for it to suck people in. So he was not very panicked. However, after walking a few meters in the water, he realized something was wrong. The suction behind him was getting stronger and stronger, and the water flow carried him backwards, making it impossible for him to stand steadily.
"Go find something to grab onto and stabilize your body!"
Xia Hongyao was very sensitive and the water flow was increasing rapidly.
boom! boom! boom!
In the corridor, most of the iron doors that were originally closed were now opened, and all the accumulated water inside rushed out.
"What the heck!"
Fishball guy has a big head.
I really shouldn’t have touched that iron plug.
Now so much water is gushing out at once, causing the water level to rise sharply.
After a few waves, the water level was up to our chests, and what was even more troublesome was the sewer entrance.
At this time, the suction force was already very strong, and it even formed a vortex.
The freckled young man failed to grab something to stabilize his body in time and was sucked away. After the whirlpool spun a few times, he was sucked headfirst into the sewer entrance.
Everyone thought that his body should block the sewer outlet, but this thing was like a meat grinder, crushing the freckled young man's body into pieces.
A cloud of blood mist and minced meat exploded, but it did not spread. Within a few seconds, he was carried by the water and rushed into the sewer.
In the public restroom, the locked and hung upside-down corpses are now leaning towards the sewer, looking extremely weird and terrifying.
"grass!"
The girl with the wedding ring pressed against the wall was washed away by a wave. She didn't want to be washed into the sewer, so she frantically grabbed a corpse and finally caught it in time and temporarily stabilized her body.
"Lin Shen, please find a solution!"
The wedding ring girl cried.
"You can't even stand steadily, what the hell are you still thinking of?"
The fish ball guy cursed.
"Don't be impatient, wait until these waves pass and the water flow becomes stable!"
Gu Qingqiu didn't want Lin Baici to take any risks.
When all the iron doors were opened, the accumulated water rushed out. After the waves passed, the water in the corridor became relatively stable.
The current undercurrent is all caused by that sewer.
Lin Baici was holding a chain and had not yet figured out a solution. Ian, who was not far away, was very unlucky. The chain she was holding had been in disrepair for many years and was broken at the place where it was welded to the ceiling.
Wow!
As the ceiling tile fell, the blonde beauty fell into the water along with her chains and was washed down the drain.
"Ian!"
Raphios yelled.
The water flow was too fast and Ian was too close to the sewer. Before Raphios could rescue him, Ian was crushed by the whirlpool in the sewer.
A mass of flesh and blood exploded, then was washed away.
This scene made everyone feel cold all over.
