But in reality...it was very panicked inside.

(How could there really be a secret door? This is too coincidental!)

A blind cat catches a dead mouse.

Mochi guessed that there might be a secret door, but he didn't know where it was. He just wanted to give it a try, and with the probability of winning the lottery, he succeeded in one go, which even surprised himself.

"Drip, drip, drip"

The sound of liquid falling.

Looking at the dark cave entrance leading to the unknown, Ziyin might have to change her panties again.

Chapter 323 History (5k)

"Where on earth is this place...?"

Holding a candle in his hand, Wei Li slowly approached the dark secret passage, observing the situation inside with the faint light.

It was a pitch-black road leading underground. The space that the candle could illuminate was limited, and one could only see stairs extending downwards. The darkness seemed to be wriggling underground like countless tentacles.

Should we retreat now, tell our seniors about this matter, and then investigate?

No, no.

Senior still has a lot of things to deal with and will be meeting the "Demon King" soon. We can't trouble her with everything. We must do something too.

"Just to make it clear, I'm not going in there!"

Ziyin pushed her glasses with trembling fingers. She had an inexplicable bad feeling and shrank into the corner, not daring to move.

"OK then."

There was pity in the future's eyes. She didn't intend to force her. After all, this situation was really scary. She didn't know what was in the basement. She might be in danger. So she replied:

"Ziyin, please stay here. The guardian beast and I will go in and take a look. We will be back soon."

"what?"

When Mochi heard this, the whole cat was stunned, its pupils contracted violently, and it looked over here with an expression of disbelief.

"Does this gentleman want to go in too?"

It never thought about going in to explore. It didn't want to do such a dangerous thing. Its life was more important.

"The guardian beast is the magical girl's companion and a living legend. As long as the guardian beast is around, there's no need to be afraid of danger!"

Mirai showed a gentle smile, held the candle in her hand, and expressed her admiration for Mochi in the warm dim light.

This praise made Mochi silent.

This old guy who is about to retire has been mediocre for most of his life. For decades, he has always been treated as a burden, trash and plaything by the Old Testament magical girls. Now he has finally gained the respect of the younger generation. How can he back down like this!

"Ha, ha ha ha! Of course I'll go with you. Don't worry about such a small matter. There's nothing to be afraid of!"

Although it said so, it couldn't help but shudder when it saw the bottomless black tunnel.

"After this is over, remember to put in a few good words for me in the report letter to your superiors."

"Of course, as expected of you, Lord Guardian Beast."

The future showed a dazzling smile, held the candle in his hand, and the man and the cat began to move towards the dark passage.

"Hmph, only an idiot would take such a risk. Wouldn't it be better to just stay where you are safe? Besides me, you are all hopeless idiots..."

Ziyin huddled in the corner, buried her face in her thighs, and muttered in a complaining tone, convinced that she had made the right choice.

However, she quickly forgot one important thing.

The only light source nearby is the candle held in Future's hand.

After entering the hidden passage in the future, the warm light began to fade, as if falling into the deep sea. Darkness and silence enveloped the surroundings again, and the footsteps slowly faded away.

Ziyin felt like a child lost in the forest. Countless tall bookcases blocked the little moonlight. A strange silence enveloped the space, as if many unknown beasts were quietly watching her in the darkness.

"Wait, wait! Don't leave me alone!"

Ziyin regretted it and quickly stood up to catch up with Weiwei and Mochi, hugging her friend's wrist and trembling.

..

..

"Ziyin, it's hard for me to walk like this."

"Woo woo, walk slower..."

"Guardian Beast, please don't hold my feet, or you'll fall..."

"Mmmmm (low voice)."

The candlelight flickered gently.

The future is struggling forward in the darkness with two heavy burdens, and progress is very slow.

The underground space was larger than I had imagined, and I walked for five minutes without reaching the end.

It seems that things are not that simple. Such a large space can be dug out under the college library, which must be sealing something unknown.

"call.."

Tired panting.

The air gradually became thinner, making people dizzy, the candle flame gradually became unstable, and visibility began to decrease.

About two minutes later, the candlelight finally touched something other than the darkness, reflecting a metallic luster.

That was a...

door.

Ancient mysterious gate.

The wooden door panel was inlaid with precious metals, and an extremely complex magic circle was drawn on it with fading red ink that looked like blood.

A dark breath like the breath of a giant beast was spreading out through the gap in the door, and bloody liquid was flowing all the way to the ground.

Not good...

It doesn't look good anyway...

Holding the candle in his hand, Wei Li instinctively took two steps back. His heart was beating violently and even his breathing was trembling.

Behind this door... there must be something extremely dangerous sealed, which is definitely not something that people of their level can touch.

The moment they opened the door, they would most likely be torn to pieces by an unknown terrifying force.

"How to do?"

Mirai was undecided, so he turned to look at the man and cat beside him and asked for their opinions.

"Hurry, run away quickly, I don't want to die yet..."

Ziyin was so scared that her legs went weak and she even found it difficult to stand up. Her knees were shaking constantly.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Great idea!"

Mochi nodded so fast that afterimages appeared, and the fat on his body shook violently. He wanted to scream and run back right now.

Sure enough, life is more important than insignificant face.

During the war, whenever it encountered such dangerous things, it would let the young and inexperienced Ye Si do it, while it would hide in a safe place and eat ice cream.

"But, we're already here..."

Based on the principle of "since I'm already here", Mirai didn't want to back out at the last minute and was a little hesitant.

"Life is more important! Let's let that idiot Ye Shi who only knows how to fight do this kind of dangerous work."

Mochi had turned around and started to return the way he had come, climbing up the stairs with his chubby body.

but...

「Click」

Maybe because it was too dark, it stepped on the gravel on the stairs and lost its balance.

"Hey?"

Mochi was stunned for a moment.

A strong centrifugal feeling suddenly hit me, the scenery in front of me began to spin, and I couldn't keep my body steady and fell down.

"Master Guardian Beast!"

Amidst the exclamations of the future, Mochi Roudu's chubby body had already turned into a bowling ball, rolling all the way down.

"Meowa ...

A shrill scream.

There is no way to stop this, the next moment...

"Boom!"

The round body hit the surface of the gate like a meteorite. The strong collision sound echoed in the passage, and the dust on the gate was shaken off.

"Master Guardian Beast, are you alright?"

Mirai trotted down, placed the candle on the ground, and checked Mochi's health:

"Are you injured anywhere?"

"It hurts, my butt hurts..." Mochi groaned in pain.

"It's okay, the pain will go away soon."

After examination, it was found that it might be because the mochi was too fat, and only suffered skin injuries, and there was no major problem.

"future!"

Suddenly, Ziyin's urgent voice came to my ears.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Well, well..."

Ziyin was so surprised that she couldn't speak. When she looked up in the future, she found that the ancient door in front of her had been physically knocked open by Mochi.

A chilly air was spreading through the crack in the door, and the icy touch was like a thin thread gently touching their skin.

"..."

Future held his breath and picked up the candle on the ground.

At this moment, the faint candlelight illuminated the space inside the door, and what came into view was...

A face!

..

"Ah wow wow... I'm dead this time..."

Ziyin's face instantly lost its color, her eyes were filled with despair, and she almost fainted.

If her bladder hadn't been empty, she could have changed panties again.

"Calm down, it's just a portrait."

Weilai supported her and reminded her to calm down.

"Painting, portrait?"

Ziyin was stunned.

As Wei Li held the candle forward, the warm light drove away the darkness, illuminating the scene behind the door. Only then did she finally realize...

As Mirai said, the face behind the door was indeed a portrait.

"Are all demons so wicked? Why would they put the portrait behind the door?!"

Ziyin was furious and stretched out her claws, wishing she could walk up and tear the portrait into pieces.

Suddenly, she noticed the portrait in front of her, which looked familiar...

"I feel like I've seen this face somewhere before..."
