Chapter 1933
Sasha looked back and smiled at Elliot and Avery.
“Do you think that row of houses looks like a prison cell?”
Elliot and Avery re-examined those houses.
Because those houses were surrounded by weeds, they didn’t look very carefully just now.
Now that they got closer, they could see that those houses were indeed a little different from ordinary houses.
Normal houses have doors and windows, but the houses in front of them have no doors.
“I’ll take you there, or you’ll get lost.” Sasha kept walking, moving forward quickly.
Elliot and Avery followed.
“On the ground, there is only one gate.” Sasha led them around to the gate.
The gate was on one side of the house, an iron gate.
Elliot held the handle and wanted to open the door, but couldn’t.
Locked with a key.
“Don’t worry, there is another entrance.” Sasha said slowly, “There is another entrance, you can enter from the underground.”
“Enter from the underground?” Avery exclaimed in shock.
“Yes. Criminals are extremely insecure in their hearts. We are afraid of the sun, afraid of the police, and hiding in the dark can make us feel safe. So there is a big basement here. It’s better than the one you saw before. The corpse pit is much bigger.”
Elliot held Avery’s hand tightly and followed Sasha to the underground entrance.
They walked west for about two minutes and came to a manhole cover.
Sasha asked Elliot to remove the manhole cover.
“No, what if there is danger down there?” Elliot thought The thing is, he goes down first. If there is danger below and he fails to come back within half an hour, she can call someone for rescue.
Sasha smiled contemptuously: “This place has been idle for three years, didn’t you see the seal on the iron door just now? It was sealed by the police long ago. It’s just that they didn’t know there was a basement below. Now there are only mice in the basement. For animals like cockroaches, the most dangerous thing should be ghosts. If you two are afraid, you can call someone to come and let them go down… But what you promised me before, don’t go back on your word.”
Sasha said this in one breath, and looked up at the sky: “It’s too hot today, I’ll go to the car to avoid it. Don’t make me wait too long.”
Sasha’s voice was settled, and she turned back to the way she came.
Seeing Sasha leaving, Avery raised her eyes to look at Elliot: “I’ll go down with you. It’s too dark down there. It’s a little scary to go down alone. We are together, and we have someone to take care of.”
If Avery was left alone, she would definitely be afraid.
This basement was a completely unfamiliar environment to them.
They didn’t know if it’s really what Sasha said.
Elliot was not afraid of the dark, and if he went down alone, he would not be afraid.
