Chapter 531： Underground tunnel

The basement corridor was empty and very quiet.

Ye Tian easily opened the three door locks and entered Thompson's personal studio.

As before, Kenny and the others couldn't help exclaiming again when they saw him unlock the last hidden lock in a flash.

"This guy Steven wasn't really a flying thief before, right? The unlocking technique is so clever, it's amazing! What an eye-opener!"

"There is also the technology of opening a safe just now. It is definitely the first time I have seen someone crack the password of a safe with a stethoscope.

Upon hearing this, Jason immediately smiled and said:

"I've seen it more than once! In Jack Wade, Alaska, Steven opened two old-fashioned safes one after another with a stethoscope, and dug out a large amount of gold from them! Everyone looked silly at that time!"

Ye Tian didn't care about these discussions in the headset, just chuckled softly.

The buddies have more skills, and there will be opportunities for you guys to drop their jaws in the future!

After entering the personal studio and turning on the lights, the first thing Ye Tian did was to retract the lurking Beetle drone and replace the battery.

After changing the battery, he began to check every corner of the studio and acted for Kenny and the others.

Later, he took out his mobile phone and took pictures of many oil paintings in the studio and kept video evidence.

There are no special glasses in the studio, so he did not introduce the famous Spanish painting that has been disguised, Velázquez’s Bacchus.

It didn't take a few minutes before the video was taken.

Next, it's time to prepare for the underground secret room alone.

He first opened the backpack, put the prepared headlight on his head, took out the G36C assault rifle, slung it on his shoulder, and opened the insurance to shoot.

Who knows if the underground secret room is in danger, it's not a big mistake to be careful!

After finishing the preparatory work, he immediately turned off the lights in the studio and walked to the shrine in the inner wall with excitement and anticipation.

"Guys, buddies are ready to explore the underground secret rooms. I believe this time there will be a good harvest. There must be a large number of top antique artworks hidden below, hiding a lot of wealth!"

With that said, Ye Tian had already stretched out his hands, held the angel statue on the right side of the shrine, and began to rotate forcefully, opening the shrine and opening the door of wealth!

At the same time, there was a burst of cheers in the headphones.

"Cool! I can finally see the whole picture of this underground palace, it's really exciting, buddies can't wait!"

"I look forward to seeing a large number of top antique artworks, which means wealth and green dollars!"

In addition to these discussions, there was another pleasant voice in Ye Tian's ears.

"Kakaka"

This is the sound of the iron chain driving the mechanism, very slight, almost inaudible, but very sweet.

The shrine slowly opened, and the hidden tunnel entrance gradually emerged. The emergency light from the secret tunnel immediately illuminates the studio.

Ye Tian was not eager to enter the underpass, but looked at the entrance of the underpass excitedly.

The same goes for those guys looking at the monitoring screen, one by one looking at the entrance of the dark tunnel with breath-holding, everyone's eyes are extremely bright, direct light!

Take a moment.

"call!"

Ye Tian let out a sigh of relief, and walked firmly towards the secret tunnel entrance with the city gate wide open.

In a blink of an eye, he had bowed into the dark tunnel, and then returned his hand to hold the handle behind the shrine, and forcefully pulled the shrine up!

The studio returned to darkness, it was very quiet, as if no one had been here!

Ye Tian is already in a three-hundred-year-old stone-paved road. Downward, it is an underground palace that will surely stir the nation!

The exploration begins!

Although there were emergency lights in the dark tunnel, and the light was not dark, Ye Tian turned on his headlights for the first time to prevent any accidents from happening.

For this exploration operation, Ye Tian made full preparations, considering almost everything! .

At this time, there are several strong headlights in his backpack, and there is no problem in dealing with it underground for 24 hours. In addition to the headlights, there are many other equipment!

Then, he took out the beetle drone in his pocket, and used the remote control to fly out along a 45-degree oblique tunnel, as a pioneer.

After that, he followed the drone, walked down the stone steps, and went straight to the spiral staircase two or three meters below.

"Guys, when I enter the underground secret room through the spiral staircase, there should be no signal. It is estimated that I cannot use the original communication channel to communicate.

Fortunately, Thompson installed WIFI in the underground. Let's contact it through the network, Kenny, you connect the signal of the invisible headset to the network, so that everyone can contact.

But you must pay attention, you must erase the traces of our WIFI rubbing, and you must not let Thompson realize that if you can't, then temporarily interrupt the communication, and you must not risk it! "

Ye Tian said quickly through the headset while walking down.

"Got it, Steven, don't you just erase the traces of rubbing WIFI? It's a piece of cake! No problem, it will be done soon!"

Kenny quickly replied, and Bourne and the two immediately became busy.

While speaking, Ye Tian had already reached the spiral staircase, and the Beetle drone was one step ahead. It had hovered down the staircase and flew down to a depth of about ten meters in a blink of an eye.

After flying to this depth, Ye Tian stopped the Beetle Drone on the stairs, and did not continue to descend, it was more secure step by step!

Emergency lights are also installed on the spiral staircase, and the lighting conditions are not bad.

Judging from the pictures taken by the Beetle drone, this spiral staircase seems to be very ordinary, there is no impropriety, no hidden danger, and no ambush!

But for the sake of safety, Ye Tian still opened the perspective and looked at this downward passage to check whether it was safe enough.

As soon as the line of sight passed, the five or six steps in front of him immediately appeared clearly in his eyes.

No problem, all stone steps are very strong, you can go down!

Ye Tian chuckled lightly, then stepped down the steps and started to cling to the stone wall and set off toward the depths of the underground along the spiral staircase.

After going down two or three steps, he straightened his body and no longer had to bow his waist. He felt a lot easier and his steps were lighter.

Continuing down, when he reached a depth of about six meters underground, he saw a niche on the stone wall next to the stairs, with a human head in it, a bronze sculpture hidden in the shadow!

At the first sight, he couldn't help being taken aback, thinking that there was a human head inside. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was a statue.

There is a line of words engraved under the statue, which is very historical and very clear!

"Christopher Wren, 1723"

Obviously, this is the statue of the designer of the Old North Church and this underground palace, and 1723 is the exact time of construction.

The Old North Church is said to be derived from a sudden inspiration by Christopher Wren. It seems that the rumors are indeed true and not groundless!

And this palace hidden deep underground is also the handwriting of Christopher Wren, but unfortunately, few people know it.

While seeing the statue clearly, Ye Tian also looked through it.

There are no secrets, and there is no involvement in the secret rooms of the agency.

It is a tangible statue of a person, except that it emits a dazzling red light and has nearly ten layers of halo, there is nothing surprising!

Except for this statue, he can see a stone hole for a torch and a groove for an oil lamp at every turn of the spiral staircase.

There are still oil lamps in two of the grooves, but the oil is already dry and full of dust!

This is the lighting condition during construction. Now it has been completely replaced by emergency lights and strong headlights, and the conditions are much better.

In addition, from entering the dark tunnel to halfway through the spiral staircase, Ye Tian didn't feel a little bit depressed, and his breathing was very smooth, not much different from outside.

Obviously, this underground palace must have vents and more than one exit.

This makes sense. The people who design and build this place can never spend a lot of energy to create a mortal place!

It is inevitable to leave vents and other exits, but it is not yet known where they are.

Keep going down!

Within two steps, Ye Tian reached the position where the Beetle drone was staying.

When he got here, he stopped again, and then manipulated the Beetle drone to hover and fly down to find his way.

This time, the Beetle drone flew directly to the bottom of the spiral staircase and stopped on the last step.

The ladder is complete, there is no safety hazard, and there seems to be no ambush.

"Tattoo"

Ye Tian clung to the wall and moved down the stairs at a constant speed. The sound of footsteps was very clear in the silent underground space, and it also brought out echoes.

Same as before, every five or six steps and a turn, Ye Tian will open the perspective, check the steps in front, and confirm the safety before stepping down. Be extremely cautious!

In this way, Ye Tian quickly descended to the bottom of the spiral staircase and stood on the last step.

What appeared in front of him at this time was not a real underground palace, but a stone arched corridor with a width of about 1.8 meters, a height of two meters, and a depth of about 15 meters.

Seeing this arched corridor, Ye Tian couldn't help frowning slightly.

Thompson also installed a pinhole camera here, but there was only one, on the wall at the other end of the corridor, monitoring the entire corridor.

At the same time, two emergency lights are installed in the middle of the corridor to provide lighting for the entire corridor.

Everything seemed normal, it was calm and there seemed to be no danger.

But the first time Ye Tian saw this tunnel, he felt a palpitation for no reason, and felt that there seemed to be some danger hidden here!

The first reason that made him feel palpitations was the staggered black and white floor tiles on the ground. This thing looks beautiful, but it doesn't fit in with the environment here!

This is obviously a practical basement room and it is not a place for lovers to meet privately. Is it necessary to make this kind of decoration? It seems to be too much!

In addition, the walls on both sides of the arched corridor and the wall on the other side of the corridor also gave him some uneasy feelings.

Just as he was about to open the perspective to explore the situation here, Kenny's voice suddenly came in his ear.

"Steven, I have connected the invisible earphone to the Internet, and now you are using the WIFI network installed by Thompson, we can contact at any time and will never leave any traces!"

"Good job! You guys take a closer look at the monitoring screen of the corridor where I am. I think there is a problem here, maybe there is some danger hidden!"

"Okay! Let's check the monitoring and see what we can find!"

Kenny answered and got busy immediately.

Ye Tian controlled the Beetle drone to take off again, and flew to the other side of the corridor against the ground to investigate the situation there.
