C33

Third Uncle immediately realized something.

He pressed the switch again, and the staircase light came on again.

So this switch was also used to control the stairs, causing Third Uncle to be extremely embarrassed. He had given himself a fright and caused a ruckus.

As the saying goes, scaring people and scaring people was no less than scaring ghosts.

Third Uncle couldn't help but complain about the person who designed this lamp. Why would he turn it off when he came down? Just hold on for a bit longer …

Third uncle then muttered as he walked into the basement. On the wall beside the stairs, he found the light switch of the basement.

Only after turning on the lights did Third Uncle take a good look at the basement.

This basement was the same as the one above. It was round, but twice the size of the one above.

After all, the basement was designed to contain more things.

There was no structure in the basement, just an empty piece of land, and then a pile of books on the left hand side of the entrance. The book on one side of the door looked new, and on the other side it was dusty and old.

The right side was very empty. The only difference was that the floor was a bit dirty, so it seemed like no one would clean it during the day.

Third Uncle walked towards the empty space on the right, walked to the wall, and started studying the wall. This wall was also made of green brick, this was also within his expectations.

On the wall, there was a circle formed by the iron wire that stretched out from the cracks in the wall. Third Uncle thought for a while but still didn't know what he had come here for. He knew that he saw two or three of these things beside him, so he remembered what they were used for.

In ancient times, there weren't any electric lamps, only oil from plants and animals for lighting oil lamps. In ancient times, there weren't any electric lamps, only oil lamps for lighting oil lamps.

Third Uncle shook his head and thought of his own business. He picked up the compass again and formed a hand seal. The compass began to emit a golden light and the needle began to move again.

However, after a while, Third Uncle was dumbfounded again.

This compass was just like the ones on the second floor, spinning endlessly. This gave Third Uncle a great headache.

Third Uncle looked at his watch. It was already 12 o'clock and he was a bit hungry. Little Fan had asked me to call him at this time. I'll have to bring him along this afternoon.

He didn't think that Xiaofan would help him in any way. As long as he didn't help him out, it would be fine … Third Uncle shook his head and walked up the stairs.

When he reached the door, Third Uncle carefully opened it. The manager was eating and playing with his phone, so he didn't have time to look over. It seemed like he didn't realize it had been a long time since he had last been here, or maybe he just thought he had gone upstairs.

The little sister from the coffee shop beside had also disappeared. She must have gone to buy food.

Third Uncle slipped to the front desk like a wisp of smoke and swaggered out.

When the manager saw that he did not take out the book and the alarm did not sound, he went to eat and play with his phone as if nothing had happened.

Third Uncle walked out of the library, but did not find a restaurant. Instead, he came to a supermarket.

Not long after, a bag appeared in Third Uncle's hand. Third Uncle even borrowed a public phone from the supermarket and called Zhang Yifan, saying that he was at the library and wanted him to come over quickly for dinner.

Then Third Uncle went to the nearest restaurant and ordered three dishes and two bottles of wine, waiting for the dishes to arrive with Zhang Yifan.

Third Uncle opened the bag and took out a flashlight. Third Uncle felt that the lights below were not very bright. If he was looking for something, he wouldn't be able to see it clearly. Thus, he decided to buy a flashlight.

A moment later, the waiter arrived.

"Sir, all your dishes have been served. Here's your wine, please enjoy your meal."

"Yes."

Third Uncle didn't move his chopsticks. He estimated that Zhang Yifan was about to arrive.

After a while, a car outside stopped.

"Xiaofan, over here." As soon as Zhang Yifan entered, he waved to his Third Uncle, gesturing for him to come over.

"Third Uncle, I found you immediately." Zhang Yifan said with a smile.

"There's only one restaurant here, everyone knows I'm here." Third Uncle snappily said.

"Hehe, Third Uncle, how's the situation? Have you made any progress?"

"Yes, I'll take you there later. You must remember, don't think that you're here to play. If things go wrong, you might even lose your life.

"Don't worry, I know. If I don't find Xiaofang myself, I won't be able to rest easy." After Zhang Yifan finished speaking, he couldn't help but reveal a worried expression.

"Alright, it's great that you have this kind of heart. "Hurry up and finish eating. After that, let's go quickly."

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

Third Uncle told Zhang Yifan most of what he had discovered that morning as he ate. Zhang Yifan only listened attentively.

After a long while, Third Uncle and Zhang Yifan finished eating and drinking to their heart's content. However, Third Uncle didn't intend to leave immediately. Instead, he scratched his head and thought of something.

Zhang Yifan, who was standing to the side, also had a stupefied look on his face. He didn't want to disturb his Third Uncle's train of thought.

At this moment, Third Uncle was thinking: When the compass went from the second floor to the fifth floor, it kept rotating. When it reached the first floor, there would be some sort of reaction.

Third Uncle muttered to himself for a while, then seemed to have thought of something and immediately said, "Xiaofan, let's go."

After a while, Third Uncle and Zhang Yifan arrived at the library. The librarian only glanced at them for a moment and didn't care what Third Uncle and Zhang Yifan did. Could that young man be his disciple?

Third Uncle and Zhang Yifan would beat him up if they knew.

Third Uncle and Zhang Yifan sat down on the sofa. Third Uncle looked around and found that there was some trouble. There was no one else in the library, except for the little sister at the coffee shop, who was looking at the window behind Third Uncle with a bored expression.

Third Uncle secretly complained in his heart. He really couldn't think of any good methods at the moment. After all, they didn't want him to go to the basement. If he really had to give an explanation, he couldn't possibly say that he had gone to capture a ghost to save a person …

"Third uncle, this shouldn't be too easy to sneak in …"

"I know. Let me think."

Not long after, Third Uncle thought of a plan. Third Uncle led them to the front of the coffee shop.

"Little girl, I'm going to order a cup of coffee. I'll go to the toilet later. You can just leave it on the sofa over there."

"What kind of coffee would you like?" The little sister from the coffee shop opened her mouth.

"Carbucino." Third Uncle touched his head. Speaking of which, the only thing he knew about coffee was that …

With that, Third Uncle paid the bill.

"Ok, please wait a moment. I'll send it to the sofa over there." The actions of the little sister from the coffee shop made him unable to find any fault with her. It's such a pity that she doesn't look like she's doing business well, Third Uncle thought to himself.

After saying this, his little sister went to the processing room at the back. Third Uncle immediately greeted Zhang Yifan and took the opportunity to reach the basement with great familiarity.

When they arrived at the basement, Third Uncle was looking for something. From time to time, he would take out his flashlight and shine it on the surroundings. After searching for a while, Third Uncle could no longer care about the dirt on the ground. He sat on the ground tiredly.

"Third Uncle, what are you looking for?" Zhang Yifan did not understand.

"This is really strange. If there isn't anything here, could it be over there? That would be too much of a strain." Third Uncle was sitting on the ground and murmuring as if he didn't hear Zhang Yifan's question.

Zhang Yifan was speechless and could only shut his mouth sensibly.

Third Uncle began to think that since he had been wandering around the compass on the second floor, there might have been a reaction. Could it be that this floor was where Yun Xiao was hiding?!

Third Uncle sized up the pile of books on the left for a while, then stood up. Just as he was about to walk in that direction, the door above opened and the sound of footsteps could be heard.

Third Uncle was surprised, but fortunately, he had already turned off the lights on the stairs. The light in the basement, however, would not be visible unless it reached the last few steps.

Zhang Yifan was also shocked quite badly …

Third Uncle quickly turned off the lights in the basement, grabbed Zhang Yifan, and ran towards the old book. He then hid himself in a corner and covered the two of them up with a few scattered newspapers.

"Xiaofan, don't make a sound!"

I also nodded, indicating that I understood …

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. The hearts of Third Uncle and Zhang Yifan were already in their throats. It couldn't be that they were in the wrong. Since it was daytime, the chances of it happening were too low.

The footsteps stopped, and the basement light was switched on. Suddenly, something was thrown onto the ground with a bang.

"Cough cough, the dust in this damn place is really big. Cough cough * Then the footsteps left and the lights went out.

Upstairs in the lobby, the girls in the coffee shop were confused. The uncle said he was going to use the toilet, but the coffee was ready. He didn't come back for a long time, and the young man was gone. He probably had something to take care of and left suddenly. The girl thought with a puzzled expression.

Third Uncle, on the other hand, was relieved when he heard that this person had left. Third Uncle could tell that this was the administrator's voice. The one that was just left should be a book, right? Nothing else.

Third Uncle took the newspaper off of him and Zhang Yifan. He reached out his hand to support the wall and tried to stand up. But at this moment, he noticed that the brick seemed a little loose when pasted on, as if it had moved a little.

"Eh? "It's a bit strange."

"Third Uncle, what did you find?"

Third Uncle didn't have the time to turn on the lights, so he took out the flashlight and shone it on the wall.

Third Uncle knocked his hand on the wall and then on the other side. His voice was very different, sounding somewhat hollow.

I also felt that it was a bit strange, but I just watched Third Uncle do it.

Third Uncle used all his strength and finally pushed the blue brick in. Suddenly, a sound came from the wall.

I was shocked. I was afraid that I would be able to feel it upstairs, but after a long time, no one came down. Third Uncle then heaved a sigh of relief.

It would be too rash to provoke the caretaker. At the very least, Third Uncle and himself would be chased out. Moreover, it would be even harder for them to get in next time. Furthermore, Xiaofang would not have the opportunity to get back. Thinking of this, I was a little speechless.

"Uncle, it's a good thing that we didn't sense anything from up there." Otherwise it'll be troublesome. "

"Yes, it's good that you're fine." I didn't know if Third Uncle was paying attention to it or not, but I started to study it on my own. I was also speechless.

He looked over to Third Uncle, who was looking at the object in front of him.

In front of him was a stone door. However, the stone door was opened from the middle. It seemed like it could allow two people to pass through at the same time.

The protruding green brick was on the other side, blocking the passage. Actually, it wasn't able to block the passage.

After observing Zhang Yifan for a while, Third Uncle made up his mind and walked inside. Zhang Yifan followed closely behind him.

Third Uncle had the compass and the peach wood sword in his hand. He looked exceptionally careful. My heart couldn't help but tighten …

Going in was the same as going down to the basement! Third Uncle felt very strange. Could it be that this was a secret room that had been built by the ancients?

But why did Yun Xiaoxiao hide here? Wasn't he supposed to die in Tianning Park? The first time Third Uncle came to the library, he already felt that there was something creepy going on here. Could it be that Yun Xiaoxiao had colluded with the ghosts here? When the third uncle thought of this, his face became gloomy, but not long after, the third uncle resolutely walked through the stone door.

Suddenly, the Third Uncle seemed to have thought of something and he squatted down to push the green brick in. Then, the stone door started to turn.

After Third Uncle finished, he slapped his hands together with a look of satisfaction on his face. However, Third Uncle suddenly thought, "If it's closed, how do I get out from inside?"

"Third uncle, it can't be that you can't get out, right …"

"How could that be? Let me take a look." There wasn't much confidence in his tone...

Third Uncle immediately pushed the blue brick. Seeing that the green brick seemed to be able to push it with force, Third Uncle was finally relieved.

"We can still push it. We can also get out from inside."

I nodded in agreement.

Only then did Third Uncle clap his hands and walk down the stairs. It's just that it's not as comfortable now as it used to be. It must have been years since I last saw the sunlight. It was very damp here, and if I walked carelessly, I would slip and fall. I took a big hit. Luckily, I was smart enough to hold onto the wall so that I didn't fall.

"Be careful, don't fall down." Third Uncle could not help but exclaim.

"Got it …"

Furthermore, there was no light from upstairs. It was fortunate that Third Uncle had brought a flashlight with him, or else he would really have to stare helplessly. Otherwise, he would have to bite the bullet and descend into the darkness.

Third Uncle also admired his foresight.

I followed Third Uncle as we walked. There were still many bugs along the way that made my scalp tingle. It was fortunate that I was wearing long pants today, otherwise I would have suffered greatly. If he were to take a bite, only the heavens would know whether these worms were poisonous or not!
