Chapter 906: Your friend Gu Mian is taking separate actions
"Otherwise, do you want to go down?" Gu Mian took out a rope as a gesture to tie one end of the rope to the fortune teller.
The fortune teller quickly waved his hand and backed away: "No, no, no, you better go down and I'll just take a look from above."
Gu Mian's action efficiency was very fast. In a short time, he cut iron nails on the ground near the deep space, wrapped one end of the rope around it and tied a tight knot, and then tied the other end around his waist.
The fortune teller looked at the iron nail driven into the ground with great concern. Everyone could see Gu Mian's unstoppable luck. She doubted whether the nail could support Gu Mian's weight, and whether the rope would suddenly break when Gu Mian went down.
She wondered if she should send a message to the fat guy in the apartment and tell him that your dear doctor might be in free fall next.
Just when the fortune teller was worried, Gu Mian over there was already ready.
Of course, Gu Mian knew that the iron nail alone wouldn't work, so he asked Gui Gu and Xiao Qiao to hold on to the rope on the ground, so that even if the iron nail couldn't hold up, there would still be two people on top to give him the answer.
He gave the high-power flashlight to Gui Gu, who was near the edge of the pit, and asked him to help shine the light below. Gu Mian himself went down with the fortune teller's low-power flashlight. The area of those small caves was too small, so he used a high-power flashlight inside. It is easy to blind yourself by exploring.
"Be careful." Gui Gu, who was acting as a lamp above, carefully controlled the angle of the flashlight in his hand to avoid letting the light flash into Gu Mian's eyes.
Gu Mian put her feet on the rock wall and pulled the rope in her hands to slide down one by one without much effort. Not long after he slid down, he felt that his left foot was empty. When he looked down, he found that his left foot had entered the hole closest to the ground.
It's the one that the fortune teller said contained a ghost.
Gui Gu adjusted the angle to try to let the light of the flashlight shine into the cave at Gu Mian's feet: "Be careful, the cave is here."
Now Gui Gu always puts the words "be careful" in front of every sentence, obviously very worried about Gu Mian's safety.
The fortune teller moved some distance away along the edge of the pit, trying to see the deeper parts of the cave from other angles. However, the high-power flashlight was on Gui Gu, and the area illuminated by Gui Gu was limited. She could only see a small part of the illuminated edge of the cave entrance.
By this time, Gu Mian had slipped down and landed on the ground at the entrance of the cave.
The hole was not very wide and almost two meters high, allowing three people to walk side by side inside. As soon as Gu Mian landed on the ground, he quickly took out the flashlight on his waist and shined it inside. He originally thought these caves would be very deep, but he didn't expect to see the wall blocking the front as soon as he turned on the light.
It turned out to be a dead end.
The illumination distance of the diviner's flashlight is only about five meters, which means that the length of the cave is less than five meters. Gu Mian could see the end of such a large place at a glance. He immediately looked around the entire cave but did not see the ghost the fortune teller mentioned.
"How's it going? Have you seen a ghost?" The fortune teller asked Gu Mian from above, not knowing what was going on below.
Gu Mian shined his flashlight on the walls on both sides. The surrounding walls were dark and uneven. However, traces of manual excavation could be seen. These small caves should have been dug by hand.
He thought about tapping with his hands. The walls were very hard and it would take a lot of effort to dig these caves.
There were signs of human habitation in the cave. Gu Mian noticed that the ground in the northeast corner was flatter than other places. It looked like someone had often slept and rested here and smoothed the ground.
Except for the smoothed ground in the northeast corner, the entire cave is in a very wild battle-damaged style without any modification.
Gu Mian found it strange that there were so many man-made caves underground in Lianhua City, and there were traces of people living in the caves. This was too suspicious. However, these caves may not have existed here before. They may have been formed together with the Hanging City.
The last time she witnessed the formation of the upside-down city in Paradise World, Gu Mian didn't pay attention to the large hole in the ground, and she didn't know if the same scene was happening underneath the upside-down city.
At this time, the diviner had returned to the ground above the cave where Gu Mian was, and her voice came from above her head: "What's going on inside?"
Gu Mian moved two steps outside and reached the edge of the cave so that the three people above could hear her voice more clearly: "A dead end road less than five meters long looks like it was dug manually, but there is nothing in it. The walls and the ground are not very flat. Only the ground in one corner is slightly flat. I suspect that someone has lived in this cave. That person has been in that position while sleeping, so he smoothed that place.”
Gui Gu's confused voice came from above: "Is the cave dug manually?"
He paused for a moment after saying this. Gu Mian felt that during this pause, he might be counting how many such caves there were in sight.
Apparently Gui Gu soon gave up calculations, because there were too many caves below, and this was only part of what they saw. Less than half of Lianhua City rose into the sky, and the pit formed below had an extremely long edge. Even if Gu Mian drove them around in a hearse, it would still take half an hour to complete the circle.
"If the walls below were all filled with caves like this, it would be a huge amount of work." Gu Mian heard Gui Gu say.
"Now that the ground above us is flying upside down in violation of the laws of physics, finding a few small holes in the ground is nothing compared to this." The fortune teller said with reason, "I care more about this than this. Gu Mian said there were traces of someone living in the cave.”
As he spoke, the fortune teller changed the topic and asked Gu Mian again: "Didn't you find anyone or ghost inside?"
Gu Mian stood at the edge of the cave and looked up: "No, not a single human hair."
From where he stood, he couldn't see the three diviners directly above him. He could only see the upside-down city hanging above the pit.
Looking up from below, the mouth of the deep pit looks like a wellhead, and the hanging city looks like a huge mosaic of dark clouds that forcefully squeezes the sky to the edge of the wellhead. The sky is squeezed like a scimitar. Gu Mian feels like he has become a wellhead. The frog sitting in the well looking at the sky.
"It's strange, then what is the face I saw just now? Won't the lady and the ghost suddenly disappear in such a short while?" The fortune teller's muttering came from above his head, "And just now Xiao Qiao also said the following Someone.”
At this time, Gu Mian, who was looking up at the sky, suddenly realized something: "No, there is another place I didn't check."
top of head.
He did not look at the top of the cave.
The walls inside are pitch black, and it's easy to ignore what's going on above you unless you look specifically. Thinking of this, Gu Mian took a few steps back, turned around, and held up a flashlight to shine on the wall at the top. The wall at the top of the cave was also uneven, and there was no ghost like a spider crawling on it. But when her eyes moved to the top of her head, Gu Mian discovered that there was a dark hole directly above her head.
In order to see the inside more clearly, he adjusted the angle of the flashlight and shined it upward, and a beautiful face jumped into view.
"What is Gu Mian doing down there? He just said that he had somewhere to go and went in without checking." The fortune teller looked at the trembling rope in Gui Gu's hand. The trembling came from below, and it was so loud that she almost suspected that Gu Mian was doing radio gymnastics below.
Gui Gu held the rope in his hand tightly, and his palms were sweating: "He must have carefully checked the places he didn't check just now."
Judging from the frequency of the rope shaking, Gu Mian should be making big moves down there. The image of Gu Mian discovering a ghost down there and fighting with that ghost emerged in his mind.
But there was no sound from below. Although Gu Mian didn't shout slogans when beating ghosts, he would probably yell when the ghosts were beaten. But it was very quiet down there, as quiet as a classroom with the head teacher peeping.
He wanted to ask Gu Mian what happened below, but he was afraid that his words would affect Gu Mian who didn't know what he was doing below, so he had to keep his mouth shut and wait for the rope to stop shaking before asking.
Gu Mian below is climbing into a hole.
Yes he climbed up the hole above his head.
He could clearly see the scene in the cave just now by scanning the flashlight. The face in the cave was neither a human nor a ghost, just a human head model of unknown material. The body with the human head left it unknown on which day, leaving only the head hanging dryly in the hole.

From a distance, Gu Mian couldn't see clearly how it managed to stay in the vertical hole without falling down. All she could see was the large patch of color on its face. The colors were no longer bright, but there was a grayish white underneath, and the rough eyes were also a little discolored, making them look like the eyes of a dead fish at first glance.
Seeing such a head covered in oil paint in a dark cave is quite shocking. If this head suddenly screams and rushes down, it will have an even more supernatural atmosphere.
In order to prevent it from rushing down, Gu Mian rushed forward first.
The hole was right above Gu Mian's head and could accommodate a person's body. He easily slipped in with his hands. It was not easy to climb upright. Gu Mian could only use her hands and feet to support the walls on both sides and move upward in a "big" shape.
The hole was too small and it was difficult to stretch out the arms and legs quickly inside, so Gu Mian could only move up slowly. He turned on the flashlight and fastened it to his waist, which allowed him to see the surrounding scenery when he climbed up. In fact, the hole was too narrow and there was nothing to see. Looking at it, there were only walls that were close to his body.
It's a pity that Gu Mian doesn't plan to make "Stone Wall Ode", so these materials are of little use.
However, he noticed that this vertical hole seemed to be dug manually, and the digging tools were much smaller than the spacious cave below.
Gu Mian is not a civil engineering major, but he has seen the scene when digging with a shovel. Each shovel cannot perfectly overlap with the plane of the previous shovel, and will create height differences with the surroundings. By observing the arrangement density of these height differences and shape can mostly tell the size and type of excavation tool.
He gestured with his palm attached to the wall: "Each of the excavation marks below is almost as big as my two hands, as if they were dug with a shovel, and this hole..."
He saw that there were dense scratches on the wall he was pressing on. The distance between each scratch was only about two centimeters. The shape was too narrow. Who in the world would use such a narrow tool to dig holes? ? Moreover, Gu Mian felt that the shape of these strips looked more and more familiar.
He moved his fingers and found that his fingers could fit perfectly into these slender depressions.
Gu Mian felt that she must have discovered the truth, and then carefully observed the traces. She saw that most of these slender traces were five together, quite neatly.
Gu Mian looked at the five fingers on her hand and roughly understood what the digging tool for this hole was - someone dug this vertical passage with their hands. The direction was to dig upward, and the man wanted to dig to the ground.
Did someone who lived in the cave below dig it? Does he want to escape from this place?
For a moment, Gu Mian had many questions in her mind, but unfortunately no one here could answer them for him. There is a human head made of unknown material in the direction of the head, but so far it has not been able to mutate and make a ghost cry. It seems that it is hopeless.
Gu Mian was thinking as he climbed up. As he went up, he found that the excavation traces became messier and messier. The walls on all sides were getting closer and closer to him. The hole became narrower as he went up. It must have been because the digger was exhausted. By the time we got to the top, we no longer had the energy to dig the surrounding area as big as the bottom.
The messy excavation marks further up began to be mixed with dark red, which should be the marks left by the diggers' fingers.
This passage is actually not long, but because it is vertical, it is quite laborious to climb up. It took Gu Mian several minutes to reach the top.
When they reached the end, the width of the cave had shrunk to a very small size, and Gu Mian was wriggling inside like an earthworm. He felt like he didn't need to use any force to support his body. The passage was so small that he could be stuck vertically in it.
His head could still move. As soon as Gu Mian raised his head, he came face to face with the model of the human head facing down above. He used the light from the flashlight on his waist to carefully examine the face above his head. As he got closer, he realized that it was actually a human head made of paper, but it was already quite damaged, and the bamboo braid supporting the paper inside was scratched. Come out a bit.
The space above was very small, and Gu Mian could tell that the head was stuck in it.
This head is somewhat similar to the paper figures sold in the paper-making shop - when Gu Mian was a child, in order to complete the manual assignment of "folding a building with paper" assigned by the teacher, she went to the paper-making shop and bought a large building to hand in the homework. At that time, he had also seen paper-tied people in the store, which looked similar to the one in front of him.
Gu Mian squeezed his body to the side as much as possible so that his right arm could move in the small space. He tried his best to squeeze his right hand up to the top of his head to reach the paper head above.
But this paper head had been in the ground for who knows how long and was already very fragile. As soon as Gu Mian's hand touched it, a large piece of the paper on its face fell off without any effort.
Gu Mian had no choice but to grab the exposed bamboo braid and gently pull it down. It took a lot of effort to pull the head out of the crowded gap. The narrow and dark passage was not a good place to count the loot. Gu Mian took the head and planned to go back to the cave below to take a closer look.
Just as he moved his legs to climb down, he suddenly felt that the hole below was blocked by something.
Gu Mian looked down and saw a body without a head.
