Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 239
Chapter 239 Agent Is Visual
Shen Wujie said to Bai Junzhuo, “Let’s go.”
Bai Junzhuo looked at the black door and was hesitating. Outside, shouts of killing and approaching footsteps could be heard. Without hesitation, she immediately followed Shen Wujie into the secret room behind the bookshelf.
As soon as the two of them entered, Shen Wujie turned the mechanism on the wall on his right and closed the bookshelf. Immediately after, the two of them hurriedly walked deeper into the room.
It was pitch black inside, but there was a glimmer of light in front of it. Shen Wujie led Bai Junzhuo to a bright place. The secret passageway became more and more crowded, until he had to bend his waist to get there.
Bai Junzhuo felt uncomfortable and asked Shen Wujie, “Wujie, did you walk through this secret passage? Can we really get out?”
“Don’t worry, Zisu and I were locked up in the study room reading books, and we often sneak out of here,” Shen Wuji said, pausing for a moment before continuing, “but it didn’t seem to be so crowded at that time.”
Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment and asked him, “How old were you then?”
“Around ten years old.”
“No wonder.” Bai Junzhuo said, “Then how many years have you not walked through this secret passageway?”
Shen Wujie replied, “I haven’t been here since I was ten years old.”
Bai Junzhuo suddenly couldn’t breathe properly. He didn’t know if it was due to psychological reasons or if this secret passage was really too oppressive. She almost knelt on the ground and walked forward. She couldn’t help but ask Shen Wujie, “Wujie, it’s been so long since you came. Is it possible that the end of this secret passage has been sealed?”
“No way,” Shen Wujie said, “Isn’t there light ahead?”
Bai Junzhuo couldn’t see the light in front of him. He opened his mouth wide and breathed heavily. The surrounding air was getting thinner and thinner. It wasn’t an illusion.
She stopped and said, “Wuji, I can’t go any further. I can’t breathe.”
The place was too narrow for Shen Wujie to turn around and look at her. He could only ask, “Are you alright? But there’s light ahead. We should be able to reach it if we persevere for a while longer.”
Bai Junzhuo looked at the dot of light in front of her. She had already begun to feel that the spot of light was shaking. She said, “Wujie, that might not be an exit. It might just be glowing crystal stones, or the light from the cracks. In short, there is too little air here. If I go any further, I will not be able to stand it.”
Shen Wujie listened to her voice becoming weaker and weaker, and said worriedly, “Then what should we do? Shall we go back?”
Bai Junzhuo did not say anything. A buzzing sound began to appear in her ears. Her ears were already ringing.
Shen Wujie didn’t wait for her to reply and said, “Then let’s go back. Those people probably won’t be able to find us. They should go out and find us later. The guards of the Ninth Palace are empty. We can take this opportunity to escape.”
Bai Junzhuo couldn’t breathe and leaned against the wall. He said weakly, “Alright, I’ll rest for a while, then we’ll go back.”
“Yes.”
Bai Jun’s burning ears were against the wall, and the “buzzing” sound became even more specific. She finally realized that it might not be tinnitus, so she asked Shen Wujie, “Wuji, can you hear anything strange?”
Shen Wujie listened attentively, then leaned his ears against the wall and nodded, “There seems to be a sound behind this wall.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded. She felt that this sound was somewhat similar to the rumbling of a modern machine. However, this was an ancient time. It was obvious that there could not be a machine. He then guessed if it was some kind of animal, snake, insect, mouse, ant, or the like.
“It’s possible that we can get through this wall and get out of here,” Shen Wujie said, “Little White, step aside.”
“No way, what if there’s a man-eating animal behind it?”
“Didn’t you bring any defensive poison?” Shen Wujie asked her.
Bai Junzhuo touched the small bag on his body. The poison powder inside was enough to kill a nest of rats.
“That’s enough.” Shen Wujie said as he walked a distance away from Bai Junzhuo. His right palm slammed into the wall, causing it to tremble slightly, but it did not crack. He struck several more times, and the sound of rocks cracking could finally be heard beside their ears. The two of them saw a bright light in front of them.
Looking out from the crack, it seemed to be an open space. Not far away, there was a stone staircase leading down. However, Shen Wujiemen missed a bit and had to jump to the stairs.
“Xiao Bai, I don’t know where this place is, but it seems to be safe. Let’s go out first.” As he spoke, he jumped up the stairs from the cave entrance and extended his hand to receive Bai Junzhuo.
Bai Junzhuo looked down, he was still quite tall, and he was a little scared. Seeing her hesitation, Shen Wujie said, “Just close your eyes and jump over. I will definitely not let anything happen to you.”
Bai Junzhuo looked at him, nodded and closed his eyes. He forcefully jumped, and Shen Wujie hurriedly extended his hand to support her.
After the two of them stabilized, Shen Wujie looked down and said, “Let’s go on.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and followed Shen Wujie down the stairs.
This was not the outside world, and the sky above his head was not visible. It seemed to be an arc-shaped roof. Bai Junzhuo secretly praised that this construction technique was quite tall in ancient times.
Very quickly, he walked to the ground and carefully looked at the surrounding walls. Most of the things used for illumination were crystal stones, and there were also a few lanterns. There were also many daily necessities, including food, drinks, clothes, blankets, beds, and so on. Moreover, it smelled like sweat.
After observing this, Bai Junzhuo asked, “Wuji, have you been to this place before?”
Shen Wujie sized it up for a long time, then shook his head and said, “Not in the future.”
Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment and asked, “Did you and Zi Shuo dig the secret passage up there?”
“No,” Shen Wujie shook his head. “This Ninth King’s Mansion was bestowed on Zisu by the previous emperor. After he moved in, I accidentally discovered it while playing with him. At the end of the secret passage was a rather messy street corner of West City … So I remembered that Zisu was a few years older than me. He was about the same size as you are now, and it was very convenient to pass through that tunnel. He did not find it difficult to move as you and I did just now. ”
Bai Junzhuo was slightly surprised and asked him, “Could it be that someone discovered this secret passage and deliberately blocked it?”
Shen Wujie nodded.
They had walked a long distance just now, and it was very likely that the place they were currently in was not underground in Ninth King’s Mansion. Then where in Chang’an is such an organization, mysterious and bizarre?
As Bai Junzhuo walked, he thought nonsense and continued to walk forward. There was a stone door in front of him. I wonder what was on the other side of the stone door.
The two of them walked to the stone door. Shen Wujie leaned on the stone door and listened. A very noisy voice came from behind the stone door.
Bai Junzhuo also lay on his stomach and listened for a while, as if he could hear someone speaking.
“Why don’t we open the door and take a look?” Shen Wujie suggested.
Bai Junzhuo nodded. Just as Shen Wujie was about to open the door, he suddenly pulled him and said, “Give me back the bracelet you took away. If there is any danger behind the stone door, I can still defend myself.”
Shen Wujie couldn’t help but chuckle. He took out the bracelet from his bosom and stuck it on Bai Junzhuo’s wrist. There was also his body temperature on the bracelet.
Shen Wujie gently pushed open a crack, and a thick stench of blood poured into his face, accompanied by a few sharp cries.
Bai Junzhuo also smelled the bad smell and pulled Rashen Wujie, “Wujie, what’s inside?”
Shen Wujie turned around and closed the stone door. He frowned and said to Bai Junzhuo, “Let’s find out if there are any other doors to go out.”
The more he didn’t want to say that Bai Junzhuo was more and more curious, the more he asked, “What exactly is behind us? Can’t we walk out of this door?”
Shen Wujie did not answer. He grabbed her by the shoulder and turned her around. He said to her, “Go and see if there is a chance to get out. Perhaps the wall over there will be outside after it is slapped open.”
Bai Junzhuo crossed his arm and looked at the stone door. “Why hit the wall if there’s a door that doesn’t go? Let me see what’s behind the stone door.”
Shen Wujie refused to let her leave the stone door. Bai Junzhuo shouted, “Put me down and let me take a look. I won’t die. Is it really that scary?”
Shen Wujie let her down and made a silent gesture to her. He whispered, “There’s someone behind us. Don’t let them hear us. Maybe we’ll really die.”
“Someone? Since someone is here, it’s not a monster, then what are you afraid of?” Bai Junzhuo then asked, “Are you going to tell me or not? If you don’t tell me, I’ll go and see for myself.”
“It’s not something good to look at.” Shen Wujie turned his head away from her and said, “Do you want to know where Shen Qing and the others are being held?”
Bai Junzhuo nodded without hesitation.
“They were locked up near the outskirts of the city by that man. They were just locked up and didn’t do anything.” As Shen Wujie spoke, he asked, “Do you want to know where the precious jade is?”
Bai Junzhuo suddenly grabbed onto his wrist tightly and asked, “Where is the precious jade?”
“Mo Ying and she are both locked up with the Ninth Prince’s Manor. I found a nurse to feed the little precious jade and asked Mo Ying to protect her.”
The strength in Bai Junzhuo’s hand became even tighter.
“Listen to me obediently. When we get out, I’ll bring you to see them.” Shen Wujie looked into Bai Junzhuo’s eyes and said, “Let’s rescue them. Since that man has reneged on what he promised me, I don’t need to control the people in Ninth King’s Mansion for him anymore.”
Bai Junzhuo immediately nodded, “Alright.”
After that, the two of them scanned around the place and knocked on the walls of every place. It seemed that they were all real, unable to get out at all.
Bai Junzhuo said helplessly, “Wuji, although you didn’t let me see that door, it seems that only that door can walk out.”
Shen Wujie did not reply and turned to stare at the stone door.
“Even though you have traded the safety of everyone in the Ninth Palace for mine, I still want to see what’s behind me …” Bai Junzhuo looked up at him and said, “What exactly is so terrifying?”
“It’s not that it’s scary. I just feel that if you see such a scene …” Shen Wujie halfway through his words, he stopped.
Bai Junzhuo was about to die of anxiety when he turned around and said, “You told me to speak in a low voice, saying that there are people behind you who are afraid of being discovered. That proves that there are still living people behind the stone door. Since there are living people here, what are we afraid of? Are we afraid of ghosts? Aren’t ghosts going to eat them and eat us?”
‘”Since you want to see it so much, then go and see it. Don’t blame me for not reminding you.” Shen Wujie sighed.
Bai Junzhuo nodded and ran to the stone door to quietly open a crack. The smell of blood and screams rushed over at the same time. With a single glance, she was completely frozen.
