Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 649: Secret Room and Falling into Water

Lin Yu admitted that his action of knocking down Chen Yongde was a gamble.

But judging from the results, I made the right bet.

At least attacking the villagers of Chenjiabao would not cause any chain reaction - these villagers were not important to the mastermind behind the incident.

If they were important enough, the mastermind behind the scenes probably wouldn't have allowed Chen Yongde to come and chat with them in the midday heat even though he was about to die of the heat.

but……

Although defeating Chen Yongde did not trigger any abnormalities, it does not mean that they can sit back and relax.

"Let's go. Since this old man showed up here, it means that the mastermind behind this has noticed our actions."

"And... he doesn't seem to want us to enter this room, which suggests we might have come to the right place."

After saying that, Lin Yu left Chen Yongde where he was and walked to the door of the house.

The door of the room was bolted from the inside. Lin Yu pushed it from the outside but it didn't open.

Lin Yu frowned slightly.

This is weird...

If the house hadn't been occupied for a long time, why was it bolted from the inside?

"It's actually a door bolt. The lady can use my sword to pry it open from the crack."

Yue Zhenqiao seemed to have misunderstood the meaning of Lin Yu's frown, and spoke hurriedly, then handed over his sword.

Lin Yu shook his head.

"No need."

Then he took a step back and kicked the door hard with a spinning side kick.

"Bang!"

"Crack!"

The door bolt broke and Lin Yu kicked the door open, revealing the scene inside the stone house.

Then, Lin Yu strode in.

"Let's go."

He said calmly.

Yue Zhenqiao watched this scene from behind and smiled bitterly as if he was used to it.

"That's right... This female warrior was able to subdue the mandrill leader with one move. She only needed to open a door. Why would she need my help?"

Wu San and Liu Chengyang behind him were once again shocked by Lin Yu's strength and hurried to catch up.

The four of them entered the house, and Lin Yu looked around at the furnishings inside.

The stone bed, stone table, and wooden cabinets are all simple and plain furnishings, and it really looks like no one has lived here for a long time.

But Lin Yu soon discovered something was wrong.

He walked to the bed and lifted the straw mat on the stone bed - although he only lifted a corner, the straw mat began to bend along a certain crease.

This is the mark left by being folded here many times.

After Lin Yu lifted it up, the stone bed surface was revealed under the straw mat - this was not a single stone bed, but was made up of several strips of stone.

Lin Yu gently brushed his fingers over the strips of stone and quickly found a few different ones.

When I put my finger on it, I could feel a faint airflow through the tiny gap - this proved that there was a ventilation space underneath.

"Come here, please."

Lin Yu called out to the three escorts, who came over with confusion.

"Lady, is there something strange about this bed?"

Wu San asked in confusion.

"There should be a secret passage under this stone bar, leading to a secret room somewhere," Lin Yu explained, "so we have to get this thing out."

"Do you know anything about mechanical engineering?"

Lin Yu asked.

Since it is a secret room, it might have some self-destruction or protection mechanism, so we can't just kick the door in as simply and violently as before.

Therefore, Lin Yu naturally had to listen to the opinions of these natives.

After all, he didn't know much about the mechanisms of the Prison Mountain Realm.

The three escorts all shook their heads.

But after shaking his head, Yue Zhenqiao continued, "Lady, although I don't understand mechanical engineering, this kind of hidden mechanical chamber is for human use after all, so there will always be a hidden switch outside..."

Lin Yu heard Yue Zhenqiao and interrupted him: "Of course I know this... I asked you because I don't know much about the mechanical arts school in the Fire Prison. I do have some knowledge of these."

Lin Yu said this, then shook Lao Zheng.

"Find me the switch."

Lao Zheng said helplessly: "Boss, finding dead things is not my forte..."

"It's okay. Just try your best to find it. I'll ask Hannah to help you."

Lin Yu said this and released Hannah after a long absence.

After giving Hannah the instructions, the little octopus disguised himself and crawled into the gap between the stones.

After Lao Zheng and Hannah started searching at the same time, Lin Yu also started looking around.

However, everyone has their own expertise, and Lin Yu's search was still less efficient than Lao Zheng and Hannah's - not to mention that while he was searching, he also had to appear to be very professional.

Fortunately, Hannah is reliable enough.

"Quack! I found it, Director!"

"I followed the mechanical transmission structure in the gap and found a lever in the mezzanine behind the cabinet. Pulling the lever will open the entrance to the secret room."

"Good job, Hannah. You've worked hard. You can rest now."

After Lin Yu praised Hannah, he took Hannah back - after all, although the temperature in this stone house was not as high as outside, and around forty degrees could almost be considered cool, it was still a bit hot and dry according to Hannah's standards.

According to Hannah's report, Lin Yu walked to the cabinet calmly.

After opening the cabinet door, removing the partition and finding the mezzanine, a pull rod appeared in front of Lin Yu.

"This is it."

Lin Yu said this, and then pulled the lever.

"Crack..."

A heavy sound came from the direction of the stone bed. Lin Yu turned his head and saw that the three stones under the straw mat had been retracted into the wall, revealing a downward passage.

"There really are mechanisms and passages!"

Liu Chengyang said in surprise.

"Of course we have. Could it be that the heroine would lie to us?"

Yue Zhenqiao said as he stepped forward: "Lady, let me go down first to explore the way."

After saying that, Yue Zhenqiao began to rummage through his bag, found a hemp rope, a fire starter, and a box of talismans, and then walked up to Wu San and Liu Chengyang.

"Wu San, tie the rope and we'll follow the rules of caving."

"Liu Chengyang, help me put some talismans on my body to ward off obstacles and disasters, and then give me your whistling arrows."

Wu San and Liu Chengyang nodded and were about to fix the rope and stick the talisman.

But at this time, Lin Yu had already stood beside the bed.

"No need to bother. I'm more skilled than all of you combined... The strongest one should go to explore the way."

"Besides...I don't need that much preparation."

As Lin Yu spoke, he took out the torch of fear and suddenly lit it.

The pale flames illuminated every corner of the room.

"You don't even need to go down, just keep the wind up there. If I need you to come down... I'll call you!"

Lin Yu said this, then jumped down with the torch in hand.

Before Yue Zhenqiao and his companions could stop him, they saw Lin Yu disappear.

And a moment later, a "plop" sound was heard from below.

"There's water, it's safe!"

Lin Yu's peaceful voice came from far below.

But after a moment, his voice turned into a curse.

"No, it's not fucking safe at all—why is this boiling water?!"
