Jiang Yue looked at the messy scene, but he didn't feel relieved. The heartstrings were still tight.

Although the female ghost had already escaped, Jiang Yue was still extremely surprised by the strength the female ghost showed just now.

This was the second time he used Shen Gang to destroy the ghost hand but it failed to work, and both times it failed on the same female ghost.

It seems that even if this divine ghost-killing hand is advanced once, not all ghosts can be captured with it.

The world is mutating at an unpredictable rate every day, and these evil monsters are obviously evolving along with it, becoming stronger and stronger.

At the beginning of the strange era, Jiang Yue never failed to use his divine power to destroy ghosts.

This time I actually missed twice in a row.

It's not just evil ghosts that have evolved, but also a small number of humans like Zhu Yindong.

Jiang Yue calmed down and put away those chaotic thoughts. He walked to the stairs and went all the way downstairs.

This is indeed a mansion, but the decoration style is a bit old and it looks very old. But judging from the materials used in the decoration, at that time, this must be a first-class rich man who had the ability to dress so luxuriously.

.

The house was filled with a musty smell caused by insufficient ventilation for a long time, and the handrails of the stairs were also full of dust.

Jiang Yue soon heard some faint movement coming from the basement.

Quickly arriving at the entrance to the basement, Jiang Yue stood in front of the entrance and observed for a moment, cleverly avoiding several traps.

The basement was also very large and the light was dark. If Jiang Yue hadn't had amazing eyesight and suddenly entered such a claustrophobic place, he would have been frightened to the point of peeing on the spot.

This basement actually has two floors. The strange thing is that there are no steps to go down to the second underground floor. It is a claustrophobic space.

The faint sound came from below.

Jiang Yue quickly found a vertical opening.

The opening itself is a mechanism.

However, this mechanism has obviously been activated, so this hole of about five square meters was exposed in front of Jiang Yue.

After Jiang Yue observed it for a while, he concluded that this opening was left intentionally, and the two double-opening steel plates were perfectly arranged.

As long as the machine expands, the two steel plates will automatically drop down.

Anyone standing on it will fall down without any suspense.

This mechanism is actually not complicated, it can even be said to be very simple.

But it is extremely practical to deal with unsuspecting people.

Jiang Yue observed that there should have been a layer of carpet covering the mechanism, cleverly covering the steel plate.

He took out a flashlight from his backpack and looked down.

When the light hit the ground, bursts of whining sounds suddenly came from below.

The second underground floor was actually much higher than the ordinary floors. Jiang Yue visually estimated that it was at least six or seven meters tall.

It can be seen that the second underground floor should have been designed this way early on.

This made Jiang Yue feel a little strange. Jiang Yue had never seen anyone who designed a house like this in the Sunshine Era.

Why leave a second underground floor so deep? And there are no steps to go down, so it feels very weird.

Of course now is not the time to test this.

Jiang Yue judged from the weak whine that there was indeed more than one person here, there seemed to be three people.

Maybe, who are really Lao Han and the others?

Although Jiang Yue was somewhat confident, he didn't rush to jump down. Jiang Yue didn't want to rush into such a weird underground second floor.

What if there are some other traps waiting for him here?

If you jump down, will the two falling steel plates automatically close again?

With this height and a thick layer of steel plates above his head, even Jiang Yue was not absolutely sure he could escape.

If you really want to jump, there is a real risk that you will become someone else's prey.

He walked around the underground floor to make sure there was no threatening presence around. Then he returned to the opening, stroking his chin, thinking about what to do to ensure that the two steel plates would not close and prevent the

Trapped him down there too.

Soon, Jiang Yue had an idea. He went up to the first floor and dragged a solid wood couch, inserted it diagonally and stuck it up and down the opening.

With such a jam, even if the steel plate has a mechanism that can automatically close it, it will never close because a long solid wood hair is stuck.

The solid wood sofa is stuck in the middle area, and there is enough space at both ends for people to get up and down.

However, it was ensured that the solid wood sofa would not fall due to the heavy weight on top and the heavy weight on top. Jiang Yue also put a lot of heavy objects on top. This way, it was safe enough to ensure that there would be no risks.

Afterwards, Jiang Yue took out the long rope from his backpack and tied it to the sofa, letting the other end of the rope hang down to the second underground floor.

After eliminating the risk, Jiang Yue no longer hesitated and jumped in along the side of the opening.

Sixty-seven meters was no pressure for Jiang Yue. After landing steadily, Jiang Yue quickly swept his flashlight in all directions to rule out any other unexpected attacks.

The second underground floor is equally empty, but there are some strange stands that look like vegetable stalls in a vegetable market.

However, Jiang Yue's first impression was that this place was probably not serious in the first place.

I'm afraid this ghost place may have been a place for ulterior motives in the past.

Of course, these strange platforms have obviously been abandoned, and there is no sense of them at all.

Jiang Yue soon found Lao Han and others near a table in the corner.

His body was obviously tied to the edge of the table and entangled several times. He was completely unable to struggle. There were several layers of tape wrapped around his mouth. No wonder he could only make a few sounds through his throat.

When Jiang Yue's flashlight shone on their faces, they closed their eyes in reluctance. After staying in the dark and claustrophobic space for too long, the sudden strong light obviously made them unable to adapt.

But when they opened their eyes and discovered that the person coming was Jiang Yue, the expressions of shock and surprise on their faces were simply too wonderful to describe.

Jiang Yue tore off the tape in their mouths and twisted the rope around them.

Several people had been tied up for so long that their whole bodies were already numb. After regaining their freedom, they stayed in place for several minutes before they slowly gained some strength.

This encounter obviously made Lao Han feel a little downcast, and his usual stability and calmness were somewhat affected.

There was a tacit understanding between each other and no questions were asked.

Through the rope tied by Jiang Yue, several people returned upstairs.

When he returned to the first floor, Jiang Yue hesitated and hesitated inside the door.

"Old Han, when you came, did you come in through the main entrance?"

"right."

"I let you enter the house smoothly? Didn't you encounter any obstacles?"

"Everything went well. The man took us to the Snake Gallery. He said this place was haunted and asked us to come in. He left in a hurry."

"Have you ever doubted that this is not the Beauty Snake Gallery?"

"The signboard outside clearly bears the words Beauty Snake Gallery." Old Han was extremely frustrated, but when he looked around, the expression on his face froze.

"This... what kind of place is this? When we came in before, the house didn't look like this. There were paintings everywhere. It was obviously a painting studio. How could it be like this?"

Old Han had a look of astonishment on his face and his mouth opened so wide that he could almost fit a duck egg in.

The other two team members also opened their eyes wide with disbelief on their faces.

Soon, Lao Han had a bitter look on his face again and said in frustration: "It seems that we have been tricked."

"It's not just people who are playing tricks on you." Jiang Yue sighed.

Old Han sighed, and then thought of another thing: "There were originally four of us. After falling into the second underground floor, everything was dark and chaotic. Little Zheng didn't know where they got him."

Four people came, but only three were left at this time. Lao Han, the leader, naturally felt bad.

"They? Who are they? Do you see clearly?"

"It was pitch dark at the time, and I didn't know who the other party was. Anyway, after we fell in, we seemed to be entangled in something. I seemed to hear Xiao Zheng's screams getting farther and farther away, and slowly disappeared.

"

"What is it that's entangled? You're not completely unaware, are you?"

"It feels like a rope, but the texture is rougher than a rope. It doesn't look like a metal wire, but more like a branch or vine."

Jiang Yue's expression changed slightly.

If it was something like branches and vines, Jiang Yue would immediately understand what was going on.

Could it be that Zhu Yindong really took action himself?

Isn't the direction of this guy's awakening related to plants? A small seed can make people explode and die, so it is completely normal to manipulate some vine branches.

When I came in earlier, didn’t the suddenly mutated weeds around the yard confirm this?

"Xiao Jiang, is there another troublesome monster showing up?"

"It may not be an evil monster this time." Jiang Yue murmured.
