Chapter 178: Stone Door
AIZ
The sound and the wind grabbed their attention. Soone stood to the right of the building’s large door. He jumped and waved at the two of them. It was Fatty.
“Looks like they have discovered sothing,” The young master said.
On the way back, Jiang Cheng glanced at the forest. The edge of the forest was about 100 tres from the building. The trees at the fringe were smaller, but the deeper one went, the taller the plants. From the beach, one could see the canopy of the trees that were more than 10 tres tall. The whole forest was enveloped in a strange atmosphere. The gap between the trees was small. From where he stood, it felt like the place was surrounded by a black mist.
It reminded him of the mist that inside the building at first. It was black and shapeless. It would disperse with a light wave of the hand. Seeing the Doctor and the young master, Fatty rushed towards them. He said rapidly, “Hurry on in. They found sothing.”
“What is it?” Jiang Cheng asked.
Fatty glanced at the young master and then back at Jiang Cheng. He answered, “A hidden door.”
With Fatty leading the way, the three of them t up the rest at a secluded corner. The biker lady was whispering to the climber lady. The Loli glanced at them with annoyance. The tall man stood behind her. The man might look tall, but he didn’t feel imposing. Jiang Cheng had heard his voice before. He sounded quite feminine.
When the large man realised Jiang Cheng was looking at him, he was flustered and turned away with embarrassnt.
The Loli girl noticed this and tapped the man’s hand. She stood on her tip-toe and tried her best to say sothing to him.
The aged woman sat on a broken pillar about 4 ters away from the hidden door. She said nothing. Due to the light, one couldn’t see her expression.
When the group saw them, the biker woman and the climber woman moved away to reveal the door entirely. This was a stone door. Since they were on the left side of the building, this should fall within the Loli girl and the tall man’s search periter. However, based on the situation, the door was probably found by the climber and biker won. Technically, this should not be sothing serious. After all, the mission had just started. Plus, the stone door was closed.
The stone door was ford from worn-out stone. It had traces of polishing. The overall colour was dark. It looked slightly red under the light. It gave off the feeling that the stone door had been soaked in blood and then hauled out. Even though it had been cleaned off, the blood had already seeped into the stone. Fatty was frightened by this thought that appeared in his mind.
He took a deep breath to move closer to the Doctor. Ever since he entered this building, he would be surprised by various thoughts that sohow bubbled up in his mind. He massaged his temples. Maybe it was the fear that caused these thoughts to assault his mind.
It was because the woman’s story was too scary.
The young master turned to look at the two won by the door. “Have you tried it?”
“We tried to push it together,” The climber woman answered, “But the door didn’t even budge.” She added in a lower voice, “I don’t think it can be opened that way.” After all, this was an old door. Even if it could be pushed open, who knew how much strength was required?
Jiang Cheng moved forward to feel along the door. The young master took a step back to check the nearby pillars and stone piles to see if there were any hidden chanisms.
Just as Fatty was about to be hit by the story told by the woman again, Jiang Cheng humd in confusion. This grabbed everyone’s attention.
Jiang Cheng took a step to the left to be closer to the door. He looked at the door perpendicularly. A few seconds later, he switched to 3 to 4 different angles. In the end, he walked away with a confused expression.
“What did you discover?” The biker woman asked. They had studied the stone door before they ca. They didn’t discover anything special. This was a normal stone door.
“There’s sothing on the door.” Jiang Cheng said, “It should be sothing like a carving. You can feel it with your fingers, but you can’t see it.”
Just as he finished, everyone pounced forward to rub their hands on the doors. Then, their faces brightened with colourful expressions. There was indeed a carving, but it was very light. They were not visible but could be felt.
The young master thought about it and then bent over to grab so dirt from the ground. He showered it on the door. Instantly, the traces appeared.
It was a creature with a pair of antlers and the body was covered in scales. The most curious thing was the thing had two pairs of bat wings. The one on the top was larger than the one on the bottom.
The creature didn’t have any limbs. The spots where the limbs were had fish gills-like organs. If Jiang Cheng had to describe it, the organs were probably an evolutionary path as aquatic creatures beca landed creatures.
Perhaps it had been worn out, or it was not drawn. There was no organ that looked like an eye. Instead, there was a mouth that was almost the size of its face on its head.
“What is this?” The climber lady scread. Her eyes widened. So far, she had finished five missions. She had encountered many crazy things, but this was the craziest so far. Before this, they faced actual ghosts. Most of them were evil ghosts who were out for revenge. A small part was ntally unhinged before they died. They beca crazier after death.
But this ti… Her throat moved. She was reminded of the recording the aged woman said. The people in the recording were clearly attacked by sothing.
Most importantly… the thing ca from the sea.
