Chapter 2061: No one has been here
"Very good, open the door now." Aaron said loudly.
Two of his men took shovels and tried to break down the door, but after a long time of smashing, the door remained unmoved.
"No reason?" Lin Ran looked at the iron gate and felt a little strange.
Abao and his men should have gone in, so why did they close the door? This didn't fit his stereotype of these little gangsters.
"Get out of the way." Lin Ran came to the iron gate for inspection.
It was discovered that apart from the dents left by their random knocks on the three sides of the iron door, there were indeed some traces of human movement.
He squatted down again and looked at the nearby footprints.
Then face the east wall.
There is an agency there.
Lin Ran just pressed down the mechanism.
At this moment, the iron door made a creaking sound.
Then it opens automatically.
"It's an automatic door?" Aaron was a little stunned.
In this day and age, automatic doors are a very rare thing.
In fact, this kind of design is often found in ancient tombs and was designed by craftsmen based on their own knowledge system.
They have never been to the tomb, so it is normal for them to think that the design is somewhat unique.
Why did it look more ancient than the tomb doors he had seen before?
Because it is on the edge of a cliff and at the entrance of a cave, rainwater often comes in, and there is already rust on the iron door.
Fortunately, the mechanism was not destroyed.
Aaron's men were about to rush in excitedly, but Lin Ran held them back.
"what?"
"You're going in like this? Aren't you afraid there's a trap inside?" Lin Ran asked.
His men showed displeasure after being intercepted, but it was Brother Long who stood up and criticized them.
"In a place like this, follow Brother Lin's arrangements."
Aaron's ability to reach his current position is inseparable from his unique vision.
He saw that Lin Ran easily cracked the door that his younger brother could not open, and he was obviously experienced.
He instantly guessed that Lin Ran must have visited ancient tombs frequently.
The most experienced person on their team.
In a place where you are unfamiliar with the place and it is not his main business, it is more important to trust the experts.
Aaron was the first to express his stance, and the other boys naturally lowered their heads and stopped talking.
Lin Ran came to the door. They didn't bring anything except weapons and tools.
Naturally, there is no way to judge whether the air inside is circulating through a candle.
Waited at the door for a while until the air cleared.
They decided to go inside.
Lin Ran volunteered to walk in the front, but Guan Yun couldn't persuade him.
"You haven't seen the mechanisms inside the ancient tomb, so let me do it."
Guan Yun was also worried about Lin Ran's safety, but on second thought, if he encountered the agency, none of them would be able to come out alive.
There is a long corridor behind the iron gate.
Others thought it was just an ordinary cave tunnel.
At first, they thought the intruders were too boring and even built an iron gate at the entrance of the cave, even though there was nothing inside.
This time, they didn't bring flashlights. They thought Abao would prepare everything.
Unexpectedly, the only one who made preparations was Ke Hui.
He brought a flashlight.
Ke Hui smiled and said: "Brother Lin, since we were trapped in the ancient tomb last time, I realized how important the flashlight is. I didn't expect it to come in handy."
Lin Ran couldn't help but laugh.
He walked at the front of the team with a flashlight, and the others could only follow him obediently.
It was pitch dark inside the corridor and nothing could be seen.
Aaron asked cautiously: "Brother Lin, are there any monsters here?"
Lin Ran shook his head: "It's so quiet in here, we can hear clearly if the wind blows down the grass."
But he felt even more strange.
Because along the way, they saw neither blood nor corpses.
There is just no end of the tunnel in sight.
They kept walking in the tunnel for about half an hour without seeing the end.
Xiao Han was already getting a little impatient, but then he thought of a terrible possibility.
"Brother Long, shouldn't we have encountered that one?"
What he meant was that ghosts hit the wall.
Otherwise, why would they be unable to get out of the passage?
"Don't scare yourself." Aaron cursed.
Although it was pitch dark inside, nothing could be seen clearly.
But Lin Ran still used the flashlight to shine everywhere. This was very necessary because he didn't know which direction there would be.
He felt something was wrong. It was obviously just a place for storing treasures, so why should there be a special corridor?
Along the way, did you see any forks in the road, and it didn't look like you were spinning in circles, because the flashlight's light was always shining in front of you, so you didn't hit any turns.
"Watch your step." Lin Ran stepped on a stone and kicked him aside.
But the people who came in with him had already begun to feel tired because of the repeated scenes.
It took about an hour or so to walk.
They finally saw a different scene.
At the end of the passage, a vast space appeared.
"It's a treasure house!" Xiao Han shouted.
If the passage was not narrow, he would have rushed in directly, hoping to be the first person to see the entire face of the treasure house.
Aaron stopped him behind his back with one hand: "Don't remember what Brother Lin said?"
he said fiercely.
Aaron was very careful. He felt that although he didn't see any corpses here, it was filled with the smell of death.
This intuition saved him many times.
Lin Ran also knew that the closer to the main tomb chamber, the easier it would be to set up a trap.
So he slowed down even more.
But luckily, until he walked into the house, he didn't encounter any trap.
After walking in, their minds about choosing finally eased a lot.
"arrive!"
But after they saw the surrounding situation clearly, they were dumbfounded again.
Because this is a circular room.
The road ahead has been completely blocked, except for an iron gate on both sides of the house.
In the middle of the room, there is also a stone table.
An old-fashioned oil lamp is placed on the stone table.
"Can I light it?" Aaron asked.
Lin Ran didn't touch the oil lamp directly with his hand, but saw that there was still some oil inside.
nodded.
Unexpectedly, this oil lamp can still be lit.
They also happened to put out their flashlights and had to keep enough power, otherwise the way back would be dangerous.
At this time, I could see the whole room clearly.
The entire house is only about two meters high, and it is sealed up. It seems to be an oval structure.
This pattern should not remind them of earthen graves.
There is no way out except the two or three iron gates next to it.
"Has anyone really been here?" Lin Ran muttered.
