Chapter 35: The Way of Downward Flow

  Chen Yan 's eyes widened slightly as she tightened her grip on the yellow swallow brooch at her waist, then looked at me with a rather embarrassed expression and said, "What you said is also true."

  "Hmph, I really can't stand the guy who created this magnetic field. Why did he have to trap the Double Ghosts here? He's just too inhumane! A perfectly good couple died and their ghosts were supposed to reincarnate, but instead they got sucked into this place by the magnetic field!" I said indignantly, holding my flashlight and walking slowly forward.

  Chen Xuan 'Lu' walked closely behind me, saying as we walked: "Don't be angry, Xiao Mi. Once we get out of here, let's report it to the police and have them handle it!" Chen Xuan 'Lu' said with a furious expression.

  I suddenly stopped in my tracks, turned around and glared at Chenyan 'Lu' with a very firm gaze, saying angrily: "I don't allow you to call the police, if you want to call the police, wait until that couple's ghost is out of control here. If you call the police, something happens to them, what about those policemen coming in and causing trouble?"

  My words suddenly made Chenyan's face turn pale, and she stared at me blankly for a moment. Chenyan reluctantly nodded her head, knowing that she couldn't argue with me, perhaps she also thought I was right, after all, she had also seen that the two ghosts were good people, not evil spirits.

  "That pair of ghosts said they died five years ago. According to legend, after a person dies, their spirit will dissipate within three hours and be reincarnated. They didn't dissipate, so it's clear that the magnetic field was already present back then. It seems that someone created that magnetic field a long time ago, and they were researchers here? As long as we find out who was related to them at that time!"

  As I stormed ahead, Chen Xiang followed closely behind me, speaking in a hurry while carefully watching her step.

  I covered my nose and turned back to look at Chenyan 'Lu' who unexpectedly said: "What you said seems to be true, could it be that the mysterious person inside is someone from a long time ago? Is he some professor or teacher from school?" I looked at Chenyan 'Lu' with great doubt.

  Chen Yan 'Lu' shook her head after listening, slapped a mosquito to death and said: "I don't know about this one, anyway I can only say that the magnetic field should have existed long ago, otherwise the Double Ghosts wouldn't still exist now without dissipating."

  I nodded and continued walking towards the sewer in front of me, suddenly stopping again, then shone my flashlight at him and said: "Will you help me after you get out? If you don't help me, humph, just shut your mouth. If anything happens and you dare to speak nonsense, I'll never let you off!" I stared at Chen Xian'ru with wide eyes.

  Chen Yan's face turned bright red as he looked at me, stuttering and saying: "But it's not easy to get rid of this magnetic field, we can hardly find it out, and the underground room is so big, we only walked two paths, and even this one hasn't been thoroughly explored yet."

  "We didn't even finish walking down that road leading to the direction full of virus-infected people, and who knows what other strange things are behind us. This underground room, I think its scale is even bigger than the entire school's area... there are only two of us." Chen Xian 'Lu' said with a hesitant expression, looking at me.

  After hearing what Chenyan 'Lu' had to say, I let out a heavy hum and then spoke to her with great disdain: "Hmph, since you're scared, just stay on the side and shut your mouth, don't spout nonsense. I may not be able to guarantee that I can investigate the secrets of this mysterious underground room clearly, but I will definitely destroy that magnetic field."

  Chen Yan 'exposed' a bitter smile, and hastily said to me: "When did I say I was afraid? I didn't say I wouldn't help. I'm just more worried, I don't want you to have any more trouble, or I'll be very anxious, like today!"

  I turned around and walked straight ahead, after hearing Chen Xian's words, my heart warmed up slightly, I knew he agreed to help me, I revealed a faint smile, leading the way in front, while Chen Xian followed closely behind me with Huang Yanyan on his back.

  I don't know how long I walked, but this sewer was still surprisingly 'long'. It seemed that after experiencing those dark and terrifying moments in the underground room, walking through this slightly gloomy sewer didn't make me feel afraid at all. At this moment, my courage also seemed to have increased a lot.

  Finally, when the flashlight was about to run out of power, we two found a straight ladder and then discovered an exit manhole cover for a sewer. I immediately showed an excited face and said to Chen Xiang: "You shine the light on me from below, I'll climb up and open that manhole cover, we can leave from here."

  Chen Yan 'Lu' slightly furrowed her brow, but still nodded, guessing that he wanted her to go up and open the well cover herself, not wanting me to take the risk.

  I touched the slightly rusty iron railing and climbed up directly, this straight ladder was not long, only about ten steps, I quickly reached the top. I stretched out my hand and pushed heavily on the well cover above my head, finding it locked tightly, without any movement. My heart became somewhat anxious.

  I exerted myself to the utmost, pounding against the well cover with all my might, but it didn't budge. I used my elbow to push against the well cover with great force, but it still didn't move. At this point, I started to get anxious.

  Just then, Chenyan 'Lu' shouted at me in a very anxious tone: "Xiao Mi, let me try it!"

  I listened and had no choice but to give up, nodded, slowly took the elevator down, I took over Huang Yanyan, took the flashlight, shining in the direction of the well cover above, Chen Xuan had already climbed up, but he was busy for half a day and it was the same result as me, the well cover simply couldn't be opened or pried open.

  "This manhole cover must have something on top of it, or it's locked, but it's strange, if this manhole cover is still in use, then it can't be blocked, otherwise the rainwater won't be able to drain." Chen Xuan said with a puzzled expression.

  I listened to Chenyan 'Lu' and nodded slightly, frowning, took out the flashlight and shone it at the direction of the sewer in front of us, saying: "Forget it, let's keep going forward and see if there's an exit!"

  Chen Xuan 'Lu' also reluctantly took a look at the well cover that couldn't be opened, and followed me to continue walking forward. After about ten minutes, another exit well cover was discovered. Chen Xuan 'Lu' directly climbed up this time, and after pushing and pondering for a while, suddenly felt the well cover loosen slightly, with a joyful expression looking at me below.

  I was also very happy to see him, he hurriedly pushed the well cover up with force, just as he had just pushed it up and looked up, a man wearing a ghost mask suddenly appeared in front of Chenyan 'Lu'. He bent down, looking at the well mouth of Chenyan 'Lu'.

  I was shocked and saw Chen Xian 'leaking' out a scream after seeing the other side: "Ah, ah yo!" Then she fell heavily to the ground, fortunately, the height was not high, so she didn't get hurt too badly.

  Chenyan 'Lu' slapped her own clothes and stood up with a furious face, glaring at the masked man who was still bowing his head to look at us. At this time, Chenyan 'Lu' furiously shouted at him: "Don't be smug, wait for us to catch you! We will destroy everything here!"

  It was just a loud "bang" sound, the well cover was heavily smashed down by the ghost mask man, re-closed, I felt something rustling on top, I had a sense of helplessness in my heart, and then called out to Chen Xuan 'Lu' to continue walking, heading towards the next well cover.

  "I hope there's still a way out." I looked nervously at the direction of the well cover exit just now.

  "Was it that person who cut off Huang Yanyan's fingers?" Chen Xuan said, looking at the back of Huang Yanyan I was carrying with a gloomy face.

  I paused for a moment, turned around and looked at Chen Xuan 'Lu' nodded and said: "That's right! It was him, it was him! That gaze is his!" My eyes were filled with resentment, I knew that everything tonight seemed to be manipulated by that person.
