Chapter 698 Entering the Underground
Xiao Hei took Xiao Ming back to the village chief's house.
If Xiao Ming were the guardian himself, he would have two choices in front of him: one is to place the passage in an extremely remote place where others cannot find it, and the other is to hide the passage beside himself for surveillance.
Xiao Ming himself would choose the latter, because in the former case, if someone discovered the passage and sneaked in, Xiao Ming would not be able to discover it in time.
Therefore, if you think about it from another person's perspective, it is not unexpected for Xiao Ming that the passage is located near the village chief's house.
At this time, the village chief's house was empty.
Mo Yi and the others had breakfast after getting up, and then went out to the place where the strange events had occurred to explore the scene. At this time, it was far away from the village chief's house, so it would not affect what Xiao Ming and Xiao Hei were going to do.
After Xiao Hei entered the courtyard, he did not go towards the house, but went around to the back of the house.
Because the wall of the house is very close to the surrounding courtyard wall, light cannot shine in, so it is relatively dark and humid.
There are some empty clay pots and some unused wooden boards and other things placed here, which seems to be a place used by Stowe to store things.
Without looking at the messy things on the ground, Xiao Hei walked directly to a stack of clay pots, picked up the pots one by one, put them aside, and then lifted the blanket under the pots.
At this moment, what caught their eyes was a stone door embedded in the floor. For those who don’t know, they might think it’s the cellar door.
"This is the entrance to the passage." Xiao Hei said.
The two of them could tell that this board was a stone door simply because there were square gaps between it and the surrounding ground. But this stone door doesn't have anything like a handle. Either it can only be opened one-way from the inside, or it needs to go through some other mechanism to open it.
"Do you have a way to open it?" Xiao Hei suddenly asked as he looked at the stone door.
Xiao Ming blinked and then looked at Xiao Hei:
"What do you mean you don't have a way to open the stone door?"
"I can go right through." As a consciousness projection, Xiao Hei had no worries, "But you, do you still think you can take out the key and go in as naturally as walking into your own house? The key only belongs to the owner of the house. Of course, if you want to infiltrate like us, you can only use unconventional methods like thieves."
"Ho ho," Xiao Ming said with a strange laugh, "Then I'll go in."
"Go in." Xiao Hei responded, the corners of his mouth curled up to show his intention to watch a good show.
The next moment, Xiao Ming's figure disappeared from Xiao Hei's eyes.
Xiao Hei blinked and froze, looking around: "The person is gone now."
At this time, there was a vibration on the ground beneath his feet. To be precise, the vibration came from the inside of the stone door.
Xiao Hei made a gesture of swallowing his saliva, slowly leaned down, and stuffed his head behind the stone door. What came over him was another big face and an impatient voice:
"Hey, come in quickly."
Xiao Hei was startled and immediately pulled his head out and took a few steps away. He took a few big breaths before he regained his composure.
Then, he also stood above the stone door, and slowly passed through the stone door and descended.
After Xiao Hei's figure disappeared, there were only stacks of empty pottery pots arranged in disorder in the entire narrow back courtyard corridor, as well as the gray-blue stone floor, and there was no sound.
