Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2148 Confinement (Seventeen)
As expected, everyone has their limitations, and Brother Tantou still doesn't pay enough attention to details.

"It grew from the inside? What the hell is going on? Is that guy crazy?"

Fortunately, he still had some understanding. After Fu Qian revealed the hidden world behind the portrait, he finally realized the true meaning of the painting and further expressed his incomprehension.

"You've never been in there?"

In response, Fu Qian just looked at the layout of the passage carefully and asked casually.

"I never even knew there was such a thing..."

However, such an action seemed to scare people instead. Brother Tantou's voice became lower and lower as he answered, his eyes flickered, as if he vaguely foresaw his own fate.

"Then you have the opportunity to appreciate this masterpiece this time."

Sure enough, the next moment Fu Qian was pointing into the hole, motioning him to go in.

There is a hidden world under the guard tower. It is a discovery that you certainly cannot miss.

After all, the two young men hadn’t seen this incident again since they came in, so this seemed to provide an explanation.

Even if they didn't get lost down there, it seemed worthwhile to look for Brother Ivan, who might have had contact with them.

Not to mention his work, which seems to be something worth seeing in this art prison.

"…Should we go back and get some lighting first?"

Fu Qian's gun had been put away, but its deterrent power had not diminished in the slightest.

Brother Diaotan opened his mouth, and finally successfully suppressed the urge to refuse, and even tried to make a suggestion.

"It's right next to you."

Fu Qian just continued pointing.

……

It really does.

I turned around subconsciously and saw a lamp thrown into the shadow just a little further into the passage.

There's even something to start a fire, seemingly left behind by the creator.

While marveling at the other party's observation skills, he finally ran out of reasons to delay. He accepted the advice resignedly and bent down to get into this strange place.

Fortunately, although the road is very narrow at first, it becomes clear after walking a few steps.

In the blink of an eye, the passage was large enough for one person to stand up and walk. Although the lamp in his hand was dim, it was enough to illuminate the road under his feet.

"…What exactly are we looking for?"

Of course, this doesn't mean it's not depressing, especially because it's different from the tunnel you imagine. You can definitely feel like you're going down the whole way and getting farther and farther away from the ground.

Soon the discomfort caused by this made Brother Probe unable to hold back and want to confirm something.

"See what's there."

Unfortunately, although Fu Qian responded very quickly, his answer was too open-ended, which only brought about an overwhelming sense of confusion.

Soon, the two of them, one in front and one behind, had reached a depth that was almost enough to extract groundwater, but the passage still seemed to have no end.

Not only that, but even divergences began to appear.

"It really looks like a tree root, but how could it be..."

At one point he stopped and looked at the fork in front of him. It seemed that he had lost the courage to move forward.

Along the way, we cannot say that there are no traces of human activity, but there is undoubtedly a stronger sense of primitive wildness.

And when we got to the front, we found that the angle between the two forked roads was even more irregular. Although they were even equipped with vermilion doors, they still looked like forked tree roots.

Interesting indeed…

Up to now, there has been no sighting of either the missing persons or Ivan, but that does not mean there has been no gain.

At least most people have never seen such a scene.

This time Fu Qian did not urge him. Instead, he walked past Brother Tantan and went up by himself, directly choosing one of the paths.

He was wearing a male coat and was a bit thin. The next moment, he squatted down and picked up something from behind the door.

It looked quite new and not covered in dirt, but it was thrown in a place that was not easily noticed.

Besides, the style is somewhat youthful, so the probability of it belonging to that artist is probably relatively small.

A fourteen-year-old boy had been here? This possibility did seem more likely—click!

And just as he was examining it, another voice was heard, even from behind.

Along with this, the fire suddenly went out.

"Hahaha...just look for something down here yourself."

And a familiar laugh.

"Friendly reminder, I won't call the police. And no matter how loud you shout in this place, no one can hear you. I hope you're satisfied with this fun."

……

The door was locked.

There was no doubt that the voice belonged to Brother Tantou, and when Fu Qian turned around, he easily found a ray of light coming from under the vermilion wooden door.

The lights were not turned off, but when I was checking the harvest, I was locked in here.

The whole process was silent and the door looked quite sturdy.

And most importantly, before the light disappeared, Fu Qian saw clearly that the door was locked on the opposite side.

Brother Tantou picked a good moment to make the villain get what he deserved.

If I wasn't prepared to use this police gun with not very strong firepower to try to penetrate and break the door lock in the dark, it seemed that the only thing I could consider next was to walk down and look for a way out, still in the absence of light.

"So you have the key to this place?"

Although he seemed to be in a desperate situation, Fu Qian was not angry at all. He just looked at the flickering light and confirmed something.

Not only was the lock installed on the other side, it was obviously the kind that required a key to lock, and it was obviously empty just now.

"Yes...what?"

However, his reaction seemed to make the other party not very satisfied. The head-turning brother hesitated for a moment, and the light finally did not go away in a hurry.

"How did you get it?"

Fu Qian's tone remained calm, even persuasive.

"Why should I tell you?"

At this moment, Brother Tantou seemed to finally react and realized that he was no longer threatened.

"In short, it is—"

boom!
Unfortunately, his additional explanation was interrupted by a loud noise the next moment.

"The sounds below cannot be heard above."

Fu Qian fired a shot at the door, looked at the swaying light, and repeated what the other party had said before.

……

Although it was not extinguished, the lamp had undoubtedly fallen to the ground, which was easily confirmed by the changes in light and darkness.

Just now, with the help of this kind of judgment, plus the positioning of the two dimensions of sound, we were able to lock the head of the probe brother within a certain error range.

Judging from the sound of him falling to the ground after the gunshot, the margin of error is completely acceptable, except that -

"You... this lunatic, actually dared to shoot."

Just a few seconds later, the vague voice of Brother Tantao continued to be heard, and one could even hear a strong sense of disbelief in it.

Of course, these are just expressions of emotions and have little nutritional value. The key lies in the changes in the height of the sound. You can almost imagine the process of a person getting up from the ground step by step.

It's even still shaking.
