The Death List Novel - Chapter 191

Chapter 191 Dark Hole
‘”Sir Qin Lun, you mean” Cora supported her chin thoughtfully.

“Bang bang bang bang!” Qin Lun didn’t say anything and showed his intentions with his actions.

When the others saw Qin Lun knocking in the hall, their eyes lit up. “Is there a dark room in the room?”

“This wooden house is not only the residence of the forest rangers, it is also the management organization of the campsite. There are many rooms and many storage rooms. If the previous forest rangers had modified it, then even if there was a dark room, it would not be strange!” Qin Lun explained to the crowd as he searched the darkroom.

“But … why would the forest rangers want to build dark rooms in their own residences? I mean, there are many rooms here, enough to store the resources of the campsite!” The centaur girl still asked in confusion.

“Officer Michelle, believe me, they’re not here to store supplies in the campsite, they’re here for themselves!” Sass took a piece of iron from the fireplace and began to inspect the room with Qin Lun. “They’re stealing supplies from the campsite!”

“What?” Michelle found it hard to believe.

“I can’t monitor the Crystal Lake and the wooden house in this area. Hansen has been drinking at the campfire in front of the house. If Hill is dragged into the lake, he can’t be blind, and I can’t be unaware of it.” “Only this wooden house is our dead end. The attacker must have kidnapped Hill through some kind of mechanism behind the house and locked him up in an underground dark room,” Qin Lun whispered confidently.

“Aggressive!” When Hansen checked the thick walls of the hall and kitchen, a hollow sound came from the walls.

“Let’s find that son of a bitch!” Sass threw the stove iron in his hand to Hansen, pulled out another one beside the fireplace, and the two muscular men began to violently demolish it.

A few minutes later, a deep, dark hole appeared on the wall. Under the orange fire, a narrow path appeared in the depths of the black hole.

“Haha, it seems that my judgment is not completely accurate. This is not a dark room, but a tunnel-type sandwich wall!” Qin Lun used his fingers to play with the bangs on his forehead. Ever since his elven bloodline floated on the surface of his body, he would subconsciously tear off his silver hair while thinking.

“It’s unbelievable!” Michelle looked at the narrow passageway in the wall with an incredulous expression. “Didn’t the seniors of the City Police Department detect this back then?”

“No, they can’t. At that time, the wall was filled with materials, such as animal fur, flour and so on!” Hansen lifted an oil lamp to illuminate the entrance of the cave, wiped it with his finger and sniffed it under his nostrils.

“After the Crystal Lake campsite was sealed off, something returned to this place and emptied the wall of supplies. Then this place became its nest!” Qin Lun sneered and said, “Looks like we’ve brought him a big meal this time!”

…

“Sir Castro, are you … really going in?” Michelle looked at Qin Lun worriedly, her eyebrows twisted.

“Haha, if I don’t go in, who should I let in? Detective Rowling is a woman, and Sass and Hansen are too wide. As for you … I’m afraid you won’t even be able to turn around inside!” Qin Lun glanced at the Centaur girl’s round butt and teased her with a smile.

“No, you know that’s not what I meant!” Michelle’s face turned red. “I mean, that monster can easily tear people to pieces. Maybe we can seal the passageway and gather together. After dawn, we’ll find Sheriff Malloff to search this place again and find Advisor Hans!”

“It won’t work. If that monster … is just an ordinary beast, then my gun can kill it. If it isn’t … then even if we cling together, I’m afraid we won’t be able to last until dawn!” Qin Lun smiled and comforted, “Perhaps we will all die here, but before that, we must at least find out the truth.”

Kora and Sass exchanged a glance. Sass hesitated for a moment and said on the guild channel, “Well … Kieran! Maybe we can tear down this wooden house together, or burn it down and force that thing out. We don’t have to risk it for you!”

“No, believe me, burning the wooden house is not a good idea. I have a premonition that perhaps … this is only the beginning!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. He turned into the big hole in the wall and looked at everyone. He nodded and said, “Keep in touch. I’m going in!”

The trail inside the wall was very narrow. With Qin Lun’s slim figure, he had to turn his body around in order to feel his way forward.

“Creak!” There was a whole wooden board in the middle of the road. It should be connected to the wooden board in the wooden room. However, the wooden board inside was somewhat rotten. Stepping on it, it felt soft and weak. It was a little weak.

“Cough cough! I should have worn a mask to come in!” After bypassing a corner, a strong stench of decay gradually emerged from the middle of the road, causing one to feel nauseated.

Qin Lun tore off a piece of shirt to cover his nose and mouth, but he still felt his chest tightness. After squeezing through another path, he discovered that there was already a dead end in front of him, and a thick brick wall blocked the way.

“Did I make a mistake? No, there’s no mistake. Since the wooden house has a trap, there’s no need for a spatial barrier.” Qin Lun frowned and muttered to himself, “I just walked through three paths. The area is about ten square meters. Adding on the height of the wall, it’s at least thirty cubic meters. There can’t be any other paths in the wooden house. Otherwise, if I don’t have enough load-bearing capacity, the ground will collapse!”

“If it wasn’t for the trap in the wall, then it would be … underground!” Qin Lun pulled off the liner covering his nose and mouth. “The rotten stench in the pavement just now …”

Qin Lun closed his eyes, sniffled, and slowly retreated a distance. “The smell here is the heaviest!”

“Pu!” Qin Lun squatted down and flipped his right hand. The Evil Dagger fell into his palm and stabbed down.

“I found it!” Qin Lun opened his eyes again. A bright light flashed in his eyes. The Evil Dagger pierced through the wooden plank in the middle of the path like cutting something. He pulled it a few times and made a circular hole in the ground.

“How stinky!” A stronger stench of decay rose from the dark pit, causing him to feel nausea. “I should agree with Sass’s suggestion. Burn this place down with a fire. We can find this hole anyway!”

With a bitter face, Qin Lun chopped the hole a little wider, held on to the edge of the hole, and jumped down. The space in the cave was very large, about three meters above the ground. The structure of the wooden house automatically appeared in his mind.

“This … should be the next door to that basement!” Qin Lun sighed, “I didn’t expect that I would become an Earth Drilling Rat for nothing!”

“Kacha!” Just as he took two steps forward, a crisp cracking sound came from beneath Qin Lun’s feet.

“What … are these things!” Qin Lun lowered his head, his eyes glittering with green light. The night vision ability of the elven bloodline allowed him to clearly see the entire dark hole.

“Qin Lun, did you find it?” Cora’s inquiries came from the guild channel.

“Yes, I think I found that thing … the kitchen!” Qin Lun looked at the bloodstained hair and bones on the ground. He frowned slightly. He turned around and picked up an unknown creature’s thigh bone. He flipped over a wet object. “Perhaps … there’s also the part of the body that the villa couple lost!”

“You mean … their organs!” Cora said with an ugly expression.

“Yes, although there is only a small portion left, I am very sure that it belongs to humans!” Qin Lun curled his lips. He had already dissected quite a few people and was very familiar with this wet object.

“Have you seen Hill?” Hansen asked in a deep voice.

“No, he’s not here. However, I found his coat. Perhaps he was dragged somewhere else by that thing!” Qin Lun carefully examined Hill’s coat, a trace of surprise flashing through his eyes.

Apart from a sleeve, there was almost no damage to this coat, as if Hill had been brought here without any resistance, or …

‘”Ah ~ ~ ~” Just as Qin Lun was thinking, Cora’s screams and the roars of the others came from above his head.

“What happened up there?” Qin Lun was shocked and asked anxiously.

“Qin Lun, hurry up, it’s here” Hansen shouted on the guild channel.

“I’m X!” Qin Lun couldn’t help but curse as he threw down the bone in his hand and ran towards the entrance of the cave.

When he squeezed out the wall again and found that the wooden house was empty, he couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.

“Qin Lun, we’re in the forest behind the house. We’re tracking that thing. Quickly come over!” Fortunately, Hansen’s reminder came from the guild channel very quickly. “It must have dug a tunnel between the forest and the wooden house to hide your perception.”

Qin Lun pulled out the light and darkness from his waist to deliver his funeral. He snatched a few steps out of the house and ran towards the forest.

“Eh, there’s a fog!” After running out of the wooden house, Qin Lun discovered that the bonfire in front of the wooden house had been extinguished at some unknown time. The crystal lake in front of the hut was filled with a vast expanse of white mist. Even the forest was enveloped by this mist.

Qin Lun frowned and placed his palm on a large tree, only to discover that the elven tale had been greatly affected. It was as if this fog completely obscured the whispers of the forest, preventing him from obtaining information from afar.

“You must be careful!” A trace of unease appeared in Qin Lun’s heart as he reminded him on the guild channel.

“En, come over here quickly. We’re in the direction of the wooden house at three o’clock!” Hansen quickly reminded.

Qin Lun stopped talking and ran in the forest for a while. Finally, he saw Sass, Hansen, and the others again.

“What about that thing?” Qin Lun looked around and asked confusedly.

“That thing is too flexible. We’ve lost its tracks. Can you sense anything?” Hansen punched the nearby tree in frustration.

“No, this fog has obscured my perception. Even the night vision of the elves has been affected!” Qin Lun frowned and said, “We’d better go back to the wooden house first. It’s too dangerous to stay outside!”

“X, I almost caught it!” Sass gritted his teeth and said.

“Where are Michelle and Cora?” Qin Lun turned around and asked.

“They’re right here … Where are they?” Hansen and Sass turned around and pointed, only to discover that there was nothing behind them. There were no traces of the centaur girl and Cora.

“Cora!” Sass’s furious shouts echoed through the mist-shrouded forest.

“Sand, sand ~ ~” As the branches and leaves of the trees swayed, a trace of coldness appeared in the hearts of the three of them at the same time.
