Chapter 361 The Eyes of Black and White
Aaron intended to place one foot firmly before taking the other step.
However, a feeling of weightlessness followed immediately.
The sacrificial pool seemed bottomless, and Aaron sank in as well.
Fortunately, there was a slope below, so Aaron rolled down instead of falling.
When Aaron got up, he found himself in an underground tunnel.
The tunnel was pitch black, and Aaron touched the brooch on his chest.
The light emanating from it dispelled the darkness before our eyes.
Aaron felt the sound of rats running around him become more intense, so he ran around the tunnel.
He gripped his cane tightly, ready to face any potential danger.
Despite this, Aaron was not afraid.
Even if something unexpected happens, all he will lose is a doll.
However, Aaron would never allow himself to fail so easily.
The existence of rats that can run through walls indicates that supernatural power is already nearby.
The cloaked figure from earlier should have also come to the tunnel, but where did he go?
Aaron wanted to find him, but did not want to meet him.
The other side has more intelligence than Aaron, and Aaron's current strength is limited.
The puppet cannot directly use the extraordinary abilities that Aaron possesses. If the other party is indeed a perfumer or an individual with extraordinary abilities,
Aaron was not certain of victory.
The rats' squeaks grew increasingly deafening, and the tunnel grew ever wider.
Suddenly, Aaron saw a light in the distance.
He quickly turned off the light from the brooch and slowly approached.
Aaron walked quietly to the end of the tunnel.
Behind the corner is an open area.
The light source is a torch.
The person who impaled him in the crack in the ground was the cloaked man.
At this moment, he was performing a rather ungentle operation on the coffin placed in the very center.
He held an iron crowbar in his hand, attempting to pry open the coffin lid.
However, the heavy stone coffin remained completely still.
"Hold!"
The cloaked man cursed, and Aaron realized from that he was a man.
Aaron suddenly realized a problem.
This secret room is accessible only through a single tunnel.
If the man suddenly appeared, he would definitely run into Aaron.
Aaron didn't want that to happen.
He observed the secret room and quickly noticed that, despite the torchlight, the corners of the room remained dark and indistinct.
He was dressed in all black, and as long as he stood in the corner, he could blend into the room.
After finalizing the plan, Aaron waited for the cloaked man to continue his actions.
He then seized the opportunity to resume his actions, turning his back to the entrance and quickly entering the house, where he stood motionless in a corner.
Aaron was not afraid of being discovered.
Even if the other party finds out, Aaron is not worried.
He was nothing more than a puppet at this moment.
As long as you pretend it's just decoration, the other party might not investigate further.
The plan was executed successfully, and Aaron hid in a corner of the secret room.
This location offers a much better view than the entrance.
Aaron was able to see the whole house clearly.
At the deepest part of the room, there is a statue.
Aaron could barely recognize it; it was a shadowy figure.
On the ground, white bones were scattered everywhere.
But this time, Aaron was certain they were all human bones.
When did these human bones appear here?
If this occurred after the fall of the Shadow, it means that there is a risk of death in this secret room.
Aaron looked at the cloaked man again.
Aaron saw him taking several glass bottles out from under his cloak.
That appears to be an alchemical potion.
He sprinkled one of the alchemical potions on top of the coffin.
During the moldy time, flames roared from the stone coffin!
Aaron's heart clenched.
The flames burst forth with intense light, illuminating every corner of the sealed room.
If a man were present at that moment, he would surely spot Aaron if he looked around the room.
But the other party did not.
The man stared intently at the coffin, and when the flames died down, he immediately stepped forward and poured the second bottle of alchemical potion onto it.
This time, the coffin was covered with a layer of azure frost.
White, chilling air rose and climbed above the blue ice.
Suddenly, he stepped back and, from a great distance, threw the third bottle of medicine onto the coffin.
"boom!"
Suddenly, an explosion was heard.
A tremendous impact was released instantly as the medicine bottle shattered.
The strong airflow it generated almost blew Aaron's hat off.
Aaron guessed that it must be an explosive agent.
He immediately understood the cloaked man's intention.
This person first set fire, then prepared ice.
The goal was to make the stone brittle by causing the temperature of the stone pavilion to drop suddenly.
Then, use explosives to blow it open.
This idea is good, and Aaron also deduced that this person was not a first-time visitor.
Since he was able to make such thorough preparations, it means that he had already had many failed attempts.
However, he failed again this time.
The coffin remained completely still.
The man let out a furious curse.
He then pulled out an iron pickaxe and attempted to break open the stone chamber.
Only sharp cries could be heard, but the stone pavilion remained unharmed.
It was during this process that Aaron noticed a bottle hanging from the other person's waist.
Judging from its shape, Aaron knew it was a perfume bottle.
This is yet another perfumer!
Aaron deduced that this person must have also been attracted by the six-sided pillar.
The six-sided pillars are like road signs.
There may be only one destination, but there may be many signposts.
However, since the other party is a perfumer, they should be very sensitive to fragrances.
Aaron's body was made of spices.
Even the wandering street performers could smell the fragrance on Aaron.
But why is the perfumer in front of me not reacting?
Aaron quickly noticed that the texture under his feet was not hard stone, but rather relatively soft.
He looked down and immediately realized that this was not soil, but —
Excrement.
In other words, these foul odors masked Aaron's natural fragrance?
What is behind all this excrement?
Just as Aaron was pondering, the panting man in front of him finally stopped.
"Damn it, another failure — but I have to go, it's almost dawn."
Hearing this, Aaron was somewhat puzzled.
Could something happen here when it gets light?
Watching the man pick up the torch and leave the secret room, Aaron finally began to act.
He touched the brooch and walked toward the coffin.
Aaron examined the coffin carefully, and finally, he found a keyhole on the side of the coffin.
Mo Fei Aaron took out the ancient key passed down in the Alvis family, and its size was just right to match the keyhole!
He was secretly pleased, but immediately turned the key.
A series of clicking sounds were heard, and the coffin soon began to tremble.
"Boom!"
The coffin lid had moved two-thirds of the way to the side.
Inside the coffin was a corpse.
The corpse's flesh and blood had long since decayed to the point of rotting away, leaving only a stench and a flawless skeleton.
Only the eyes of the skeleton were inlaid with a pair of gemstones.
One black and one white.
As black as shadow, as white as the midnight sun
