Chapter 795: Finding the Truth

He was certain that he had never been to this house, and ‘he’ had not been to this house in the surveillance cameras last night. Then, this should be the first night he stayed in this house. He had come here after waking up.

What was in this house?

Zhuang Long followed the footprints and walked in. When he reached a wall, he stopped. He had already reached the end, but the footprints turned around and walked out of the house. There must be a reason why ‘he’ came to this house. It was impossible for him to specially come in and walk around before going back.

Zhuang Long stood by the wall and sized up the room many times.

He did not discover anything unusual.

However, he knew very well that there was definitely something strange about this house. Otherwise, ‘he’ would not have entered this room the moment he woke up. It was also impossible for him to point out the location of this room to the surveillance cameras last night. Looking at the footprints on the ground, ‘he’ had deliberately left them because the footprints were neat and obvious.

Zhuang Long looked around the gym again. Finally, he cast his gaze at the wall in front of him.

If there was really something mysterious, it could only be the wall in front of him and the ground under his feet.

He knocked his hand on the wall. The sound was muffled, and it did not seem empty. Zhuang Long pushed open the window of the gym, jumped out of the window, and walked around the back of the house. He realized that there was nothing behind the wall. He stood at the back of the house and fell into deep thought.

There was nothing strange about this wall, so the problem must be hidden underground.

Zhuang Long returned to the gym and knocked on the ground. After a while, he finally realized something strange. The bottom of the treadmill in the gym was actually empty. Zhuang Long moved the treadmill away and knocked again. He heard a very loud echo.

There was a basement below. Zhuang Long could not find the entrance to the basement.

He frowned and ran to the tool room. He rummaged around inside and finally found a hoe. Zhuang Long carried the hoe and smashed the floor with brute force before prying it open. The basement was suddenly opened and a gloomy wind blew out from below.

Zhuang Long felt cold.

He suddenly got up and left the gym. He went down the mountain to town and bought a headlamp and a long rope. He ate breakfast before slowly wandering home. When he returned to the gym, Zhuang Long found the rope and fixed it in place. Then, he put on the headlamp and jumped into the basement along the rope.

The basement and gym were about four meters tall. He had bought seven meters of rope, but it was still not long enough.

After securing the headlamp, Zhuang Long sized up the basement. The basement was very big and was supported by a few cement pillars. It was not renovated much, and the walls were still stone. A long low corridor stretched far away.

Zhuang Long bent down and walked through the corridor. At the end of the corridor was a door. He pulled the door open and heard the sound of waves. Zhuang Long walked out of the door and saw the magnificent sea. This should be the back mountain of Zhuang Long’s house. Due to the steep terrain, no one lived in the back mountain.

He glanced at his feet. Below him was a cliff about ten meters tall. Below the cliff was the churning waves.

Zhuang Long took a step back silently.

He leaned against the door and thought: This is a good place to kill and dump corpses.

Just as this thought appeared in his mind, Zhuang Long was shocked.

He stared at the sea for a moment before taking a deep breath and returning to the basement the way he had come.

There were two secret rooms in the basement. Below the gym was the hall. The two secret rooms were next to each other. Zhuang Long walked to the two doors and thought for a while before pushing open the door on the left. The house was dark and especially scary. Zhuang Long saw the situation in the house clearly through the headlamp.

This house looked like an abandoned laboratory. Some glass test tubes still maintained their original appearance. Zhuang Long walked in and fiddled with the test tubes. He found some dark brown things inside. Anyone who had come into contact with blood knew that these were traces left behind after the blood dried.

Zhuang Long already had a guess as to what this blood was.

He retreated from the laboratory and pushed open the second door without hesitation—

The room was not big. There were a few handcuffs hanging on the wall. There was a single operating table in the middle of the room. The bed must have been modified. There were handcuffs, ankle cuffs, waist chains, and neck cuffs on it. Beside the single operating table was a small table with an iron plate on it.

This plate was used to hold the scalpel needed for the dissection.

After seeing these things clearly, Zhuang Long’s body seemed to have been cursed. He stood under the door frame and could not move his feet. A chill crawled up his spine. Zhuang Long was so cold that his scalp was numb. He stood there. He clearly did not remember anything, but his body developed a primitive fear and started to tremble uncontrollably.

Zhuang Long’s breathing became heavy.

He stared at the bed, and some images seemed to flash past his eyes—

A man in a white coat was doing something with his back facing him. He held a scalpel with both hands and looked focused and serious. As if sensing something, the man suddenly turned around. This scene was clearly just his imagination, but the man’s sharp and heartless gaze made Zhuang Long feel that he had seen an illusion!

The man suddenly smiled at him. That smile was so charming that it made him panic.

The man suddenly smiled at him. That smile was so charming that it made him panic.

“Ah!”

Zhuang Long shivered and sat on the ground.

His face was pale and filled with panic.

Zhuang Long looked over again. There was no one in front of him.

Zhuang Long trembled as he got up. He ran out of the secret room and found the rope that had let him down. Zhuang Long grabbed the rope and wanted to climb up. He tried his best to climb up a few steps and used all his strength, but he realized that the ceiling of the gym above his head was especially far away. His hands could not touch the ceiling.

Zhuang Long panicked. Why haven’t I reached!

Zhuang Long wanted to cry and shout for help.

He tried a few more times and realized that he could not reach the top. He suddenly looked down and realized that he had never left the basement. His legs had been kicking on the basement floor!

Zhuang Long shouted in panic. He quietly grabbed the rope. It was clearly very quiet and dark around him. There was no one around, but Zhuang Long seemed to have seen thousands of demons pouncing on him. He would be killed by them!

His last bit of rationality completely collapsed.

Zhuang Long shouted. He held the rope and suddenly stopped moving.

After about five to six minutes of silence, Zhuang Long woke up again.
