The Black Card - Chapter 1331

[Chapter 1329 Underground Mechanism]

In the water underground, the color of one brick is obviously different from the others.

The bricks are the same bricks, but the other bricks are obviously covered with some water microorganisms generated by being soaked in water for many years, but this brick is much cleaner.

Shi Lei also felt a little strange. After all, according to what Mr. Zheng said, after he was born, he completely lost the news about the antiques in the old house. This meant that the secrets at the bottom of the well had not been known for at least seventy or eighty years. If people know about it, no one will be able to open the mechanism at the bottom of the well, so the brick in the well should not be kept so clean.

Could it be that Mr. Zheng just doesn’t know the secret, but his children actually know it, and the things underneath are long gone?

Regarding this brick, Shi Lei did not dare to act rashly. He needed to know more about the situation here, so he surrounded the brick and knocked on the surrounding bricks in order to understand what happened to the brick. What kind of mechanism is hidden?

Following his actions, Shi Lei also discovered another possibility. It was not that someone had moved the brick recently, but because of the flow of water.

Although he was underwater, Shi Lei could not accurately grasp the direction of the water flow. Moreover, in such a cramped space at the bottom of the well, the water flow was actually rotating slightly, which made it even more difficult to judge the direction of the water flow.

However, Shi Lei discovered that the water flow near the brick seemed to be faster than other locations.

To this end, he tested it, using his skin to feel the speed of the water flow at different locations at the bottom of the well. Finally, he determined that the water flow was faster near the bricks.

Although, this speed is actually only very slight. If Shi Lei hadn’t used the tactile card frequently and his own touch was far more sensitive than ordinary people, he wouldn’t be able to feel it.

The water flow continuously washes the brick, which makes it difficult for microorganisms to stay on the surface of the brick.

Of course, this water flow is indifferent to humans, but to those microorganisms, it is no different from the roaring river water.

Shi Lei suddenly had an idea in his mind. This was not a well at all, but…

He immediately took off his oxygen mask and tasted the water in the well. There was no sweetness at all, but a slight rottenness. smell.

After putting on the oxygen mask again, Shi Lei stayed underwater and thought.

This well doesn’t lead directly to the river in the backyard, right?

So, this well water is actually river water?

This also perfectly explains why there is a rotten smell in the well water. It must be the smell of river water.

Shi Lei floated up a little, letting his head break out of the water. Then, he discovered that there were obviously some unusual marks on the well wall.

These traces do not have clear dividing lines, but decrease a little bit from top to bottom.

Higher up, the walls of the well are covered with moss, and as you go down, there is less moss. Of course, there is no moss under the water.

This gave Shi Lei a more intuitive understanding.

That is, the water level of the river adjacent to the backyard is much lower than it was a few decades ago. This is an extremely long process, and the water level continues to decrease. This can actually be seen from the height of the river embankment.

The decrease in the river water level also led to the decrease in the well water level, which further proves that the well leads to that river.

After thinking about this, Shi Lei became much bolder. He dug in, found the brick, and pushed it in. The brick did not move at all. Shi Lei took out a special tool from his body and pointed it directly around the brick. The slit was inserted fiercely.

Pressing his wrist hard, the brick obviously moved a little outward, and Shi Lei immediately felt that the water flow near the brick was much faster.

He dug out the brick bit by bit. Every time he dug out a little bit, the water flow around the brick became more turbulent.

The brick was finally dug out to a width of about one centimeter, which was enough for Shi Lei to grasp directly with his hands.

So he grabbed the brick and pulled it out as hard as he could.

It was very laborious, probably because no one had touched the brick for at least seventy or eighty years, but Shi Lei still pulled the brick out bit by bit.

When Shi Lei felt his hand loosen obviously, which meant that the brick was fully mobile, Shi Lei immediately stopped moving.

No one knew whether the brick would trigger other mechanisms after it was completely pulled out. Shi Lei had to be more cautious and he needed to continue to study the brick.

Taking out a strong flashlight, Shi Lei shone it along the cracks of the brick.

The cracks in the bricks were very narrow, but Shi Lei’s eyesight was much better than ordinary people. With the light of a strong flashlight, Shi Lei could still see some clues inside.

Once he sees part of it, Shi Lei can rely on his strong knowledge of mechanical applications to understand the mechanisms in the well more completely.

The result of the judgment is that there is no danger. This is a very ordinary mechanism.

Since the mechanism has been set up to be secretive enough, the creator of the mechanism did not make any offensive or defensive measures for this mechanism. After all, except for Shi Lei, I am afraid that no one has the ability to discover the location of this mechanism.

After confirming that there was no danger, Shi Lei pulled out the brick directly.

In an instant, all the water in the well poured into the gap, and a strong suction force acted around Shi Lei’s body. Even Shi Lei had to support his hands and feet on the well wall to offset the force after the brick was pulled out. The suction force caused.

Shi Lei couldn’t help but feel a little strange. Even he couldn’t bear such a strong suction force. If an ordinary person wanted to activate this mechanism, wouldn’t he have to suffer a lot?

Without having time to think about it, the water in the well quickly flowed out from the gap, and the water level in the well quickly dropped to the lower edge of the brick.

At this time, Shi Lei felt that the well seemed to be shaking. He secretly thought that something was wrong and quickly pressed the remote control in his hand. The electric pulley above immediately started working. The steel rope tied to Shi Lei’s body was dragging Shi Lei’s body. The body rose rapidly.

During the process of rising, Shi Lei saw the bottom of the well under his feet, slowly spreading to the surroundings. There was also a clicking sound from the bottom of the well. The remaining well water disappeared almost instantly, and all fell into the bottom of the well. Among the black holes created after spreading.

When Shi Lei reached the top of the well, there was no water at all in the well. Instead, the place where Shi Lei pulled out the bricks began to pour water in again. The whole process was completely opposite to when Shi Lei was underwater just now.

Shi Lei secretly thought that it was very dangerous. Although there were no offensive or defensive mechanisms here, if Shi Lei hadn’t been fully prepared, when the bottom of the well was opened just now, he would have been taken directly to a deeper place by the remaining water in the well. Go to the bottom of the well.

Using a strong flashlight to shine down, Shi Lei still couldn’t see the bottom. It was dark and gurgling, and the water gushing out from the missing parts of the bricks couldn’t fill the abyss like a bottomless pit.

Shi Lei returned to the edge of the well and watched everything in the well with all his concentration. This mechanism really surprised him.

About half an hour passed, but there was still no essential change in the well. Shi Lei was also a little tired and kept lying at the mouth of the well. Even Superman couldn’t bear it.

After straightening up, Shi Lei discovered that there were changes on the edge of the well.

On the originally complete well rim, facing east from the well platform, a brick depression appeared on the edge of the ground.

Shi Lei walked over and took a look, and saw that the brick had sunk deeply into the ground. Only then did he realize that he could operate the underground mechanisms from the well platform.

This brick is connected to the brick below the well.
