Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning

Chapter 954: Finding doubts

Jiang Jiyun suddenly heard her uncle shouting loudly in the space, wanting to come out. Seeing that it was still relatively safe here for the time being, she pulled her uncle out of the space.

When my uncle came out, he seemed a little confused, as if he hadn't fully figured out what was going on.

Jiang Jiyun looked at her uncle and asked with concern, "Uncle, if you come out now, what will happen to Xiao Wu?"

Jiang Wenming pulled Jiang Jiyun along and leaned against a pillar to observe their surroundings. He whispered to her, "Don't worry, Xiao Wu has woken up. I made him take his medicine by himself, and Da Hei and Er Hei are with him, so he won't be bored. That's why I rushed out to help you."

After hearing his uncle's words, Jiang Jiyun felt a little more at ease.

She thought this arrangement was pretty good, so she went with her uncle.

The younger uncle held a gun in his hand and wore a night vision helmet on his head. Jiang Jiyun followed suit and equipped himself.

They carefully groped their way forward in the darkness, the candles under their feet having been knocked down by Xiaotian and the others, and the surroundings were pitch black.

They walked for a long time, and it was very quiet the whole way, with only occasional faint sounds.

As they walked, Jiang Jiyun suddenly saw some dark figures on the ground ahead. She nervously grabbed her uncle's arm, ready to fire.

After Jiang Wenming saw it clearly, he told her, "Don't be afraid, those should be the guards that Xiao Tian and his men took care of."

He carefully observed the dark figures, then pointed in one direction and said, "Look, that's the metal frame that leads up. This floor must be where people are imprisoned."

Before her uncle came out, she and Hu Dahe and others opened more than a dozen cells that were originally used to imprison men and women.

These cells had clearly been modified; they looked very simple, but they were sturdy enough to hold people with martial arts skills.

A rough count revealed that the total number of people imprisoned was nearly a thousand!

Adding to the people Lao Guo mentioned who had already died, the total number of people in the hands of the Japanese must have been at least two or three thousand within six months.

Such a huge number is shocking. If this place is really an underground boxing ring run by the Japanese, as they suspect, then who would come here to place bets?

How many years has this place existed exactly? How many people have died in this dark and sunless place? They have no way of knowing.

Were the wealthy merchants in the city completely unaware of this? Were the officials also kept in the dark? How could she not believe it?

What's even more puzzling is that the treasure on the bottom layer obviously couldn't be all the wealth the Japanese had collected, so where exactly was their real wealth hidden?

Looking back, when the Japanese troops occupied the city, they could have easily transported these valuables out of the city.

But now that the Japanese troops have been defeated, the person in charge here will definitely be like a coward, not daring to show his face easily.

Jiang Jiyun shook his head and muttered to himself, "What a pity! I arrived a step later than Brother Sun and the others. If I had found this treasure before them, I might have been able to sneak some of it. But now, it's all too late..."

She followed closely behind her uncle, hurrying towards the iron staircase.

Jiang Wenming nimbly climbed a few steps, when suddenly his gaze was drawn to a corpse below.

The body lay sprawled at the bottom of the stairs in a strange position, as if struggling to crawl in a certain direction.

Without a second thought, he quickly flipped over and jumped down the stairs, landing steadily next to the corpse.

Just as Jiang Jiyun reached the top of the stairs, her legs, which were slightly shorter than her uncle's, hadn't even had time to climb the steps when she saw her uncle turn back.

Jiang Wenming squatted down and carefully examined the bloodstains left by crawling on the ground.

He frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "Xiaoyun, look at where this person is crawling. Something's not right. Logically, he should be trying to find someone to ask for help or send a message, so why is he crawling into that corner?"

Following his uncle's directions, Jiang Jiyun looked and, sure enough, the bloodstains on the ground indicated that the body was slowly moving toward that corner.

She couldn't help but admire her uncle's keen observation skills, giving him a thumbs up and praising, "Uncle, you're amazing! I didn't even notice that!"

The two exchanged a glance, both feeling that the discovery was somewhat strange.

So the two of them carefully searched that corner, hoping to find some clues.

Jiang Jiyun asked, full of doubt, "Could this be a passage leading down here? If that's the case, how could those Japanese devils have let go of the burial goods inside?"

"Hey, there's a small hole in the wall!" Jiang Wenming suddenly exclaimed in surprise, his gaze drawn to a hole about the size of a finger in the wall.

This hole looks inconspicuous and can easily be overlooked if you're not paying attention.

Jiang Wenming was curious and wanted to go closer to see if he could see inside the hole.

However, just as he was about to tiptoe closer to the cave entrance, a hand suddenly grabbed him.

Jiang Wenming turned his head and saw his little niece looking at him nervously.

Jiang Jiyun quickly said, "This is a tomb chamber! What if there are hidden weapons in this cave? Aren't you afraid you'll be killed on the spot?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenming's heart skipped a beat. He realized that his actions had indeed been somewhat reckless and immediately stopped trying to get closer to the cave entrance.

At this moment, Jiang Jiyun took out a stick-like object from his spatial storage and handed it to Jiang Wenming.

Jiang Wenming took the stick, touched it, and found that it had threads on it, making it seem like some kind of tool.

Jiang Jiyun urged his uncle to hurry up and put it into the hole, saying, "Quickly insert this thing into the hole and see if you can find any clues."

Jiang Wenming nodded and slowly inserted the stick into the hole.

While he was making his move, Jiang Jiyun was not idle. She was vigilantly watching her surroundings, afraid that someone might suddenly launch a sneak attack.

Gunshots rang out from above them from time to time. As Jiang Jiyun hesitated whether to go up and help, he turned his head and noticed that his uncle was hanging on the steel bar.

She asked curiously, "Uncle, what are you doing?"

Jiang Wenming looked troubled and stammered, "This... after it was inserted, I did hear a sound, but... but it seems to be stuck by something, and I can't pull the stick out no matter what I do!"

Jiang Jiyun stood aside, watching helplessly as her uncle's body seemed to be gradually lifting off the ground.

She looked up and saw that the steel bar had suddenly tilted upwards for some reason, causing her uncle's body to be lifted up as well.

Jiang Jiyun rushed forward and leaped into the air, tightly hugging her uncle's knees.

Just as she hugged her uncle, there was a crisp "crack" sound, followed by a "smack".

The uncle and nephew felt a blur before their eyes, as if they had been sucked in by a powerful force.

When they came to their senses, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar place.

It turned out that the originally sturdy wall had rotated, trapping them in this new tomb chamber.
