After the indigenous heroine was reborn, she went crazy and reorganized the plot line

Chapter 194 Iron Cage

The air in the secret passage was like a cage hidden in the abyss, suffocating and unpredictable.

It was unknown how long it took, until no sound could be heard in the entire secret passage, and Rong Su finally regained consciousness.

A quarter of an hour ago, Rong Suzheng heard Shen Fengyu's secret, which was rebirth. She was also wondering whether Shen Fengyu was the same as her.

But when I think about it carefully, what he said is very different from what I said in my previous life and it doesn't match.

While thinking, he didn't pay attention to where he was standing, and accidentally touched a mechanism and fell into a secret passage.

When Shen Peiqing saw this, he immediately reached out to pull her, but before he could do so, she had already fallen in.

As soon as she fell in, the door of the mechanism closed immediately.

Finally, she saw Shen Peiqing showing a panic expression, and then he kept falling down.

She thought she would die here, but she didn't expect that the entrance to the secret passage would lead to a small cave, and the mechanism was aimed at a haystack. If she fell down like this, her butt would be broken, but the haystack served as a cushion, so it didn't hurt that much.

He climbed up from the ground, holding his butt, and looked around.

It was discovered that the cave looked like a space created artificially.

Dim lights hung on the surrounding mountain walls.

Where the firelight shone, the outline of an iron cage could be seen.

Rong Su thought for a moment, walked to the edge of the mountain wall, took out the extinguished tinderbox, and went over to get a fire.

With a tinder in hand, the road ahead becomes much easier to walk on and you can see the road more clearly.

Although he felt a little scared of the unfamiliar environment, he still mustered up the courage to walk towards the object that looked like an iron cage.

At the same time, he raised the fire starter in his hand so that the light could illuminate the front.

Through the dim firelight, Rong Su was shocked when he saw what was in front of him and stood there in a daze.

In front of him was a huge iron cage made of very strong black iron, and the top of the cage was connected to the top of the cave.

The cage seemed to have no door. I turned around but couldn't find a place to open it.

This is a completely sealed cage. Even the gaps between the iron pillars around the cage are only the distance of a chopstick.

You can't see what's inside the cage at all.

Rong Su suddenly started to have some wild thoughts, thinking of some strange stories she had read before, which recorded that the big cages usually contained extremely terrifying monsters.

In the quiet space, the sound of her swallowing became particularly loud.

Rong Su held the tinder, hesitating whether to move closer to see what was in the cage.

At this moment, there were suddenly some rustling sounds coming from the cage.

Rong Su was so scared that she took two steps back and looked at the cage warily. Then she thought that even if there was a monster locked in the cage, it couldn't get out and it couldn't hurt her.

Thinking of this, Rong Su became braver and slowly approached the iron cage.

At the same time, she spoke softly to the iron cage: "I came here accidentally. I hope you don't blame me for disturbing you. I will find the exit as soon as possible."

After taking two steps closer, there was a sudden sound of iron chains dragging on the ground from inside the iron cage.

"Swish, swish!"

Rong Su was startled and froze in place, not daring to go any closer.

After calming down, I thought about what was locked up inside. Not only was it locked in an iron cage with no entrance or exit, but it was also locked with iron chains. Could it be some powerful monster?

But why is there a monster imprisoned in Shen Fengyu's secret cell? Where did he come from?

Since she couldn't figure it out, Rong Su decided to look for a way out. She looked around and then started walking around, wondering if she could find a way out.

I found that this was also a sealed space and there was no way out.

Rong Su stood there, staring worriedly at the dark surroundings. After thinking for a while, he thought that maybe if he went back to where he fell, he should be able to find a way out.

Thinking of this, she found herself back where she had fallen, and the haystack was still there.

He raised his head and took a look, using a tinder to illuminate the area. There was a solid stone wall above him, and he could see a very small gap at the edge. It should be the mechanism, but it was at least six feet above that location.

He looked at the stone wall again and reached out to touch it. It was smooth without any bumps, and Rong Su became more worried.

If there were bumps on the rock wall, she could try to fly up using her lightness skills, but without anything to hold on to, it would be impossible for her to get up there.

As the light of the tinderbox grew weaker and weaker, the vision became increasingly dimmer.

Rong Su's mood became more and more solemn. If she couldn't get out, wouldn't she die here?

There is no way out and no water source here. Even the rock walls are as smooth as pebbles, and not even a weed can grow.

Without food or water, she would die of thirst or starvation within three days.

Rong Su was calmly trying to figure out how to get out, when suddenly the sound of iron chains hitting an iron cage was heard in such a quiet environment.

Her heart suddenly started beating wildly. She looked towards the iron cage in horror, not daring to move and even holding her breath.

After swallowing hard, Rong Su whispered, "I have no intention of offending you or disturbing you. I will definitely find a way out as soon as possible! Please, please don't scare me."

"Also, my friend is looking for me too. I think he'll find a way to help me out soon."

After saying this, the iron cage became much quieter. Rong Su patted his chest to calm his pounding heart, closed his eyes, and tried to calm down and think of a solution.

There was a sound from inside the cage again, and this time there was a rhythm: two short drags, one knock, another short drag, and two knocks.

The environment was dark and there were strange noises all the time. It was difficult for Rong Su to remain calm. She was afraid of unknown things, but that didn't mean she was timid.

Feeling that the person in the iron cage was provoking him, Rong Su became a little angry. He took a big step, strode towards the iron cage, raised his hand and slammed it hard.

"Hey! Don't think it's fun to scare me like this. You can't get out, so I'm not afraid of you. Even if you do come out, I have ways to deal with you. Don't think you can scare me with this trick!"

After a while of silence, Rong Su thought that the person inside had finally behaved himself and was about to turn around and go back, but this time he heard an old voice.

The voice was like that of an old man who had not had water for a long time, hoarse and dry, like a rough guqin with a dull and vicissitudes of life.

"How did you get in here?"

When Rong Su heard this, her eyes widened. She suddenly turned around and stared at the iron cage. She took two steps closer and asked in surprise, "Are you human?"

There was a long silence, so quiet that Rong Su almost thought the sound she had just heard was an illusion.

Rong Su was not sure, so she turned her body sideways and tried to look inside through the gap in the iron cage, but it was too dark inside and she could not see clearly.

"Are you a human or a monster? Did I hear you correctly? You were really talking to me just now, weren't you?"

After a moment of silence, Rong Su began to doubt herself and was about to turn around in frustration.

At this time, the old voice sounded again.

"How did you get in here?"

It was the same question again. This time, Rong Su could be sure that the sound was indeed coming from inside the iron cage and was not fake.

She didn't bother with the repeated question and answered directly, "I accidentally triggered a trap and fell into a secret passage. So, senior, do you have any way to help me leave this place?"

After a long silence, no more sound came from the iron cage, which made Rong Su's heart beat fast. She wanted to get closer, but she was still a little scared. She only dared to stand not far from the iron cage and wait for the other party to speak again.

Rong Su felt that she could not wait any longer. It seemed that the other party did not want to talk anymore. She decided not to sit there and wait for death, so she tried to find a way to get close to the other party.

After all, the fact that the other person can speak means that he is a person who can communicate, not a monster.

"Senior, how did you get in? Did you accidentally trigger the mechanism? Also, why are you trapped in this iron cage? I heard the sound of chains inside. Are you locked up?"

She asked the questions that she really wanted to know, but after asking this series of questions for a long time, the other party seemed to have no intention of answering.

At this moment, Rong Su frowned in worry. She couldn't force the other party to speak, and she felt like a trapped beast, with no way out.

He stared at the iron cage and pondered for a long time.

After she came in, this person did not remain quiet, but made some noise instead, which meant that this person also wanted to prove his existence.

This person also asked her how she got in, which means that he still wanted to leave this place.

It is better to have ideas than to have no ideas at all.

Rong Su perked up, pondered again, looked at the iron cage and said, "Senior, I don't know how you were trapped here. Now that you are trapped, you must want to leave. I am not in the cage and can still move. Why don't you cooperate with me and help me leave this place? After I get out, I will definitely come back to rescue you. What do you think?"

Looking closely at the iron cage and listening to the noise inside, Rong Su became a little nervous. She was not sure whether the other party would pay attention to her after making this suggestion, but she still wanted to give it a try.

After a while, the old voice finally came from inside, and it dragged on: "This place is well-protected. Do you think you can get out?"

Hearing that the other party obviously didn't believe it and had no expectation of getting out, but he was willing to pay attention to her, Rong Su felt that there was still great hope.

"How can you know that you can't leave if you don't try? Senior, let's exchange information here, so that it will be easier for me to find a way out. I also promised you that as long as I go out, I will come back to save you." Rong Su once again promised the person inside.

The man was silent again, obviously not trusting her at all, but he did put forward his own request.

"Come here and take my poison."

Rong Su walked over and saw two dirty fingers sticking out from the iron cage, with a black meatball pinched between the fingertips.

Seeing this, Rong Su took it and swallowed it without any hesitation, and even walked to the rock wall where there was a light to take it.

The person in the cage seemed to have seen her actions and took the initiative to tell her, "I was imprisoned here half a year ago. One day every month, someone comes in to bring me food. I can't see much outside from inside the cage, but judging by the footsteps, the person who brings food usually comes in from the right side of the cage."

Hearing this, Rong Su cast her gaze towards the right side of the iron cage. It was dark there and she couldn't see clearly. The fire starter in her hand had long burned out. She thought for a moment and looked around.

There wasn't a single weed on the ground around, not even a stone.

She was a little frustrated. At this time, the person in the iron cage seemed to guess what she wanted to do and said, "The wooden box containing food was broken. I have it here."

"Give it to me." Rong Su hurriedly walked to the iron cage and waited for the person inside to give her the wooden box.

However, the gap in the iron cage was so small that it could not be taken out at all.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a huge object hitting the ground from inside.

"Clap!"

The sound of wood breaking was deafening.

After a while, a very thin wooden stick stretched out from the gap in the iron cage.

Rong Su took a look and walked closer. Through the dim light, she saw that the man's hand was injured. After hesitating for a moment, she quickly took it.

After thinking for a while, she took out the only medicine from her sleeve. The medicine was not big enough to fit into the gap.

"for you."

The person in the iron cage was silent for a while, and finally stretched out his fingers to pick up the medicine and took it in.

Rong Su took the wooden stick, looked down at the hem of her skirt, and without hesitation tore off a piece of cloth, wrapped it around the wooden stick, tied a knot, and walked to the rock wall, using the wall fire to light the homemade torch.

Lacking wine or oil, it took quite some time to light the homemade torches.

As the torch slowly burned, the light around me increased.

Before the torch burned out, Rong Su quickly walked to the right side of the iron cage.

Under the light of the fire, it finally became much brighter over there, and Rong Su could see the situation clearly.

There is a small space about the size of one person, which is recessed. Walk over and reach out to touch the rock walls on both sides.

I searched for a long time but didn't find any mechanism on it.

Rong Su frowned, then asked again, "Senior, how did the person who delivered the food get the wooden box into the cage for you? There was clearly no way to get into the cage."

The old voice of the man in the iron cage was thick with dullness and doubt: "Every time that man came to deliver food, I would lose consciousness for a short time. When I woke up, the food was already in the iron cage."

So strange?

Rong Su couldn't help but look at the iron cage again. If that was the case, there must be a door to enter and exit the iron cage.

The senior said that the person delivering the food came from the right side of the iron cage.

On the right side, Rong Su pondered for a moment, then walked to the right side of the iron cage with a torch, moving the torch to illuminate from top to bottom.

There was no sign of an open or close on the iron cage. Could she have been wrong?

Just as I was wondering, I took a step forward and the feeling was obviously a little strange.

Rong Su narrowed his eyes, squatted down, and used the torch to illuminate the ground. He saw that the color of the ground was different from the color next to it.

He stretched out his fingers and touched it, then bent his fingers and knocked, knocking at the place under his feet, and then knocking a few times at the place next to him.

It's empty here!
