The wealthy daughter breaks through the situation with wisdom

"Who?" Dai Shiya asked sternly. The beam of the mobile phone swept back and forth at the source of the sound, but she only saw a few instruments covered with white cloth. As the flashlight swayed, it cast a swaying shadow, which added a bit of horror.

Wei Qing pulled the corner of Dai Shiya's clothes, signaling her to be careful, and lowered her voice and said, "We are just here to explore, and we have no ill intentions."

The figure in the dark seemed to be relieved, but there was still a sense of vigilance in his tone, "Exploration? It's very dangerous here, you should leave quickly!"

"We have found this place, we must know where it is, right?" Dai Shiya took a step forward, like a brave cheetah, trying to break through the fog and see the person who was talking clearly.

"This is..." The man was about to speak, but suddenly seemed to realize something and immediately stopped talking, as if an invisible big hand covered his mouth.

Dai Shiya and Wei Qing looked at each other, and it seemed as if there was an electric current passing through their eyes, which made them more certain that there must be a mysterious secret like the deep sea hidden here.

"We just want to know the truth," Dai Shiya said sincerely, like a gurgling stream, trying to impress the other party, "If you know something, please tell us, it's very important to us."

There was silence in the darkness for a moment. Just when Dai Shiya thought that the other party would not speak again, the man suddenly sighed, and the sigh seemed to have traveled through a thousand years of time, "Hey... Well, since you are all here, follow me, but I want to remind you that some things may be more terrible to know than not to know..."

After the man finished speaking, he walked out of the darkness. With the weak light, Dai Shiya saw a hunchbacked old man wearing a shabby white coat. His face was covered with traces of years like knife-cuts, but his turbid eyes flashed with a shrewd light like stars.

The old man didn't say anything more, turned around and took Dai Shiya and Wei Qing to the depths of the institute. Along the way, dilapidated laboratories can be seen everywhere, various instruments are scattered on the ground like defeated soldiers, some strange symbols and formulas are still left on the walls, and the air is filled with a pungent smell of chemical agents, which is like the breath of the devil and makes people shudder.

"Ding ——"

Suddenly, a sharp alarm sound echoed in the empty research institute, and the red alarm lights flashed wildly like a mad beast. The harsh sound made people's scalps numb, as if there were thousands of needles piercing their heads.

"No, there are intruders!" The old man's face changed drastically, as if facing a great enemy, and he pulled Dai Shiya and Wei Qing and started running wildly. Their footsteps echoed in the silent corridor, as if it was a countdown to death.

Before they could react, the originally silent research institute suddenly came alive as if it had been cast a spell. Several red laser beams suddenly shot out from the walls on both sides of the corridor. Those laser beams were like pairs of red eyes, interweaving into a net of death in the air, ruthlessly blocking their way.

"Hide!" The old man shouted, his voice as loud as thunder. He pushed Dai Shiya and Wei Qing into a laboratory next to him, and rushed to another direction like a brave warrior, trying to divert the laser beams.

Dai Shiya and Wei Qing hid behind the door of the laboratory, looking at the chaotic scene outside in shock. Those laser beams seemed to have eyes, accurately chasing the old man's figure. Wherever they went, sparks flew everywhere, extremely dangerous, like a gorgeous but deadly fireworks show.

"We can't sit and wait for death," Dai Shiya calmed down, her eyes as sharp as a hawk, looking around, trying to find an escape exit, that exit seemed to be a ray of light in the darkness.

Suddenly, she noticed that a huge metal cabinet in the corner of the laboratory seemed to be a little strange, and some strange patterns could be vaguely seen on the surrounding walls, like some kind of ancient runes, and those runes seemed to be telling ancient stories.

"Wei Qing, come and help me!" Dai Shiya pointed at the metal cabinet, her tone was urgent, like a rapid drumbeat.

Wei Qing immediately understood what she meant. Like a tacit partner, the two of them pushed open the heavy metal cabinet together, revealing a rusty iron door behind it. A heavy lock was hung on the door. Above the keyhole, there was a symbol flashing with a faint blue light, which was exactly the same as the runes on the wall, as if they were twins.

"What is this?" Wei Qing looked at the symbol, and an inexplicable fear surged in her heart, drowning her like a tide.

"I don't know, but it must be related to everything here," Dai Shiya took out a photo from her pocket. The photo was exactly the clue given to her by the insider before, and there was also an identical symbol on it. "Maybe, this is the answer we are looking for..."

As soon as Dai Shiya finished speaking, she heard a "sizzling" sound from behind her, as if some powerful energy was gathering. Then, an invisible force pulled them back like a gust of wind. The two fell to the ground without any resistance, looking at the iron door in horror...

"You... shouldn't come here..." An old and weak voice came from behind the iron door. The voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, with endless resentment and warnings... The old voice behind the iron door echoed in the laboratory, with a creepy chill, like a cold wind, blowing into their hearts. Dai Shiya and Wei Qing looked at each other in horror, and saw deep uneasiness in each other's eyes, like two frightened deer. The invisible force disappeared, but the two felt as if they were strangled by an invisible giant hand, and breathing became difficult, as if they were underwater and unable to breathe.

"What should we do?" Wei Qing's voice trembled slightly, and she held Dai Shiya's arm tightly, her knuckles white, like dead branches in winter.

Dai Shiya took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm, like a lighthouse in a storm. "We must find a way to escape, this place is too weird!" As she said, her eyes swept through every corner of the laboratory like a searchlight again.

Suddenly, her eyes stopped on an inconspicuous stone platform in the corner of the laboratory. The surface of the stone platform was covered with dust, and it looked inconspicuous, like a forgotten grain of sand, but Dai Shiya noticed that there was a place on the stone platform where the dust was obviously thinner than other places, like a trace of frequent touches, as if it was a hidden secret signal.

She walked forward and gently brushed away the dust with her hand, and a complex pattern appeared on the stone platform. The pattern is composed of various strange symbols, which are somewhat similar to the runes seen on the wall before, but more complicated and exquisite, like a mysterious scroll.

Dai Shiya's heart moved, and she immediately realized that this might be a mechanism, like the key to the treasure. She tried to press the center of the pattern, and sure enough, the stone platform made a slight "click" sound, and the floor of the laboratory shook slightly. Behind them, the wall slowly moved to both sides, revealing a hidden passage, which seemed to be the door to an unknown world.

"Secret room!" Wei Qing exclaimed, and a ray of hope flashed in her eyes, like a candle lit in the dark.

However, at the entrance of the passage, there was an energy barrier flashing with a faint blue light. In the center of the barrier, there was a complex password lock, which was also engraved with those strange symbols, like a solid line of defense, guarding the unknown secret.

"It seems that we have to solve this code first." Dai Shiya said in a deep voice, her voice like a steady bell.

At this moment, the lights in the laboratory suddenly flickered, and the air around began to twist and spin like a whirlpool. A strong sense of oppression came from all directions, like surging waves.

"No, those mysterious forces have appeared again!" Wei Qing's face changed, and she immediately looked around vigilantly, her eyes like a vigilant hound.

"You try to crack the password, I'll stop them!" Dai Shiya said decisively, her eyes as firm as a rock.

Wei Qing nodded, and immediately began to study the symbols on the password lock like a focused scholar. Dai Shiya stood in front of her, concentrating on sensing the fluctuations of the surrounding energy, ready to respond to sudden attacks like a brave warrior.

Every time Wei Qing tried to enter the password, the energy fluctuations in the laboratory would intensify, and it seemed that countless invisible blades were flying in the air, making a harsh whistling sound, like ghosts crying and wolves howling. Dai Shiya, with her keen perception and flexible skills, resolved these attacks again and again, like a dancing elf, protecting Wei Qing's safety.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Wei Qing's forehead oozed fine beads of sweat, like morning dew. The symbols on the combination lock were complex and varied. She tried countless combinations, but she could not solve it, like a child lost in a maze. Dai Shiya's physical strength was gradually exhausted. She could feel that the energy around her was getting stronger and stronger, and the attacks were getting more and more fierce. She was about to collapse, like a candle in the wind.

Suddenly, a ray of light flashed in Wei Qing's eyes, like a meteor passing through the darkness. She quickly entered a string of symbols on the combination lock. The combination lock made a crisp "click" sound, and the energy barrier disappeared instantly, like a dream bubble.

"Unlocked!" Wei Qing shouted excitedly, her voice like a cheerful bird song.

However, before they could be happy, a strong suction suddenly surged out of the secret room. The two of them felt their bodies lighten, and were involuntarily sucked into the depths of the passage...

"Wait..." Dai Shiya stretched out her hand, trying to grab something, but only grabbed a piece of nothingness... A cold voice sounded in their ears: "Welcome to... the real abyss..." The strong suction was like an invisible beast, dragging them into endless darkness, like a star being sucked into a black hole. Dai Shiya tightly grasped Wei Qing's hand, her knuckles white, and her body was as tense as a fully drawn bow. The wind whistled in their ears, making them almost unable to open their eyes, and the pain was like a knife cutting.

"Shiya!" Wei Qing's voice was torn into pieces by the wind, "I... can't hold on!"

Dai Shiya gritted her teeth, and her other hand fumbled around randomly, trying to find a support point, like a drowning person looking for a life-saving straw. At this moment, she caught a glimpse of a thin booklet on a stone platform deep in the secret room, emitting a faint glow. The light was particularly eye-catching in the dim secret room, like a lighthouse in the dark, guiding the direction. Her intuition told her that the booklet was very important and might be the clue to the truth they had been looking for, like the key to unlock the treasure.

"Hold on, Wei Qing!" Dai Shiya shouted, her eyes locked on the booklet, and with all her strength, she suddenly kicked against the wall, her body stabilizing a little, like grabbing a piece of driftwood in the turbulent sea.

Wei Qing also tried her best to control her body and not let the suction swallow them completely, like a small tree fighting against the strong wind. The two swayed in the strong wind, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time, like a falling meteor.

Just when Dai Shiya felt that her strength was about to run out, the suction suddenly disappeared. The sudden calm caught them off guard. They fell heavily to the ground, and a sharp pain came from all parts of their bodies, as if thousands of needles were piercing their bodies at the same time.

Dai Shiya ignored the pain and immediately got up and looked around nervously. The lights in the laboratory were still flickering, and there was a suffocating sense of oppression in the air, like a thick cloud covering the earth. Although the suction force disappeared, the breath of danger still lingered, as if a beast lurking in the dark could launch a fatal attack at any time, like a poisonous snake hidden in the grass.

"That booklet..." Wei Qing panted and pointed in the direction of the secret room.

Dai Shiya looked in her direction, and the booklet was still lying quietly on the stone platform, emitting a soft light, like the bright moon in the night sky. The two looked at each other and saw a firm determination in each other's eyes, as hard as steel. No matter what, they had to get the booklet and uncover the truth hidden behind it, like explorers looking for a lost civilization.

They stood up carefully, supported each other, and approached the secret room step by step. Every step was taken very cautiously, as if walking on a battlefield full of landmines. The laboratory was silent, with only their breathing and heartbeats echoing in the air, like the heartbeats of a quiet night.

When they reached the entrance of the secret room, Dai Shiya checked the surrounding environment again. After confirming that there was no obvious danger, she took a deep breath and said to Wei Qing: "Be careful, let's go in."

Wei Qing nodded, and the two held their breath and slowly walked into the secret room. A stale and decayed smell came to their faces, mixed with a faint smell of mold and dust, which was disgusting, as if they had walked into an ancient tomb. The light in the secret room was dim, and only the booklet emitted a faint light, illuminating a small area around it, like a beam of light in the dark. They saw that the booklet was placed on a stone platform...

Dai Shiya stretched out her hand and slowly approached the booklet... Suddenly, she felt something strange, and she retracted her hand abruptly, whispering, "Wait..."
