Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Bai Jing. Bai Jing didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "It's possible that the thing sealed inside has a physical form. It's highly likely that it's a monster created because of some kind of experiment by the Japanese."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then became even more tense.

The fat man asked somewhat fearfully, "Old Bai, what kind of monster could be here?"

Just as Bai Jing was about to make a joke to the fat man.

Suddenly, two clicking sounds rang out in the silent base.

Upon hearing the sound, Bai Jing's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed. He immediately shouted, "It's the sound of a door closing! Go out and see!"

Without delay, the group immediately went downstairs and ran towards the entrance.

But when the group arrived at the location, they saw that the iron gate had been closed.

Unwilling to be trapped in the base, the group tried to lift the iron gate, but it was impossible.

Even with Bai Jing on the field, the machine-controlled iron gate remained completely unmoved.

Bai Jing estimated that there was something on top of the gate, and it would take several tons of force to lift the iron gate.

'boom! boom! boom! ’

Just as the group was trying to lift the iron gate, a series of loud knocks came from outside the entrance door, sounding like a death knell in the silent night.

The sound came very abruptly.

So much so that no one expected it.

Bai Jing frowned at this moment. He remembered that in the original story, it was the weasels who did it. However, now he not only had no grudge against the weasels in Northeast China, but also owed them a debt of gratitude. Logically speaking, the weasels should not have done this.

But now, even Bai Jing is a little confused about the situation.

Moreover, the sounds from outside were more like banging on the door than knocking.

'boom! boom! boom! ’

Then came another series of loud knocking sounds, each one louder than the last, as if deliberately tormenting everyone's nerves, making everyone's heart pound in the quiet night.

Bai Jing was alright, but the others seemed somewhat panicked.

Ding Sitian and Yanzi covered their lips nervously, as if afraid of making a sound due to nervousness.

Just as Bai Jing was thinking of a solution and preparing to come up with a plan, the knocking suddenly stopped.

Then everyone heard a rustling sound.

Bai Jing listened carefully and discovered that it was the sound of a weasel calling.

Clearly, the knocking sound outside was made by the weasel.

The others nervously shone their flashlights toward the door.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw that a weasel had crawled in through the doorway that Bai Jing had specifically left to block with a stone.

Calling it a weasel might not be entirely accurate, as this is a white weasel, or perhaps a white weasel would be a more precise description.

That wasn't the end of it. Following this, three more weasels crawled in one after another.

Most importantly, the four weasels in front of them were all 'white weasels' with snow-white fur.

Chapter 54 Discovering the 'Entrance'

When they saw the four 'white skins' in front of them, everyone except Bai Jing was stunned.

Fatty Wang and Yanzi had seen two of the 'white fur' bears when they were hunting bears with Bai Jing before. In an instant, Fatty Wang seemed to realize something and immediately shouted, "Old Bai, could these be the yellow furs we saw in Tuanshanzi before? But weren't there two? How did there become four?"

The white-skinned creatures first bowed to the crowd, and then one of them jumped onto the gate control lever. As the creature moved, the gate that had sealed everyone off slowly began to open.

Bai Jing had roughly guessed what had happened.

Two of these four 'white weasels' were clearly the same two Bai Jing had seen in Northeast China, while the remaining two were most likely local weasels.

Moreover, it seems that the two white weasels who came with Bai Jing and the others must have communicated with the two local white weasels, which is why the local white weasels stopped their actions of scaring everyone.

Suddenly, Bai Jing realized something was wrong, because he discovered that everyone except himself seemed to have fallen into an illusion in an instant.

Bai Jing thought the four 'white-skinned creatures' in front of him had some malicious intent, and immediately became vigilant.

But Bai Jing did not feel any palpitations, and the four 'white skins' just stood there in a row without making any other movements.

Just as Bai Jing was wondering what had happened, the others also staggered.

Then everyone seemed to regain consciousness all at once.

Immediately afterward, Bai Jing heard the fat man say, "Damn, these weasels are really something else."

Bai Jing hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Hearing Bai Jing's question, Hu Bayi looked at Bai Jing with a puzzled expression, then remembered something and immediately explained, "Just now, it seems that the four of us were pulled into an illusion by them. In the illusion, they all turned into human form, two men and two women, and apologized to us."

Yanzi exclaimed in surprise, "I never imagined that Huang Daxian was truly a deity!"

Hearing this, Bai Jing was also surprised.

Does this mean that the four weasels in front of us can achieve barrier-free communication by pulling humans into an illusion?

Old Sheepskin revealed a deep sense of apprehension. To be honest, although he had heard many legends about Wong Tai Sin, his experience just now was the most unforgettable.

Bai Jing was somewhat puzzled at this moment.

Since the weasel can directly pull people into an illusion, thus enabling barrier-free communication, why didn't the weasel pull me into the illusion directly before?

Bai Jing couldn't understand these things, so he simply stopped thinking about them and looked at Hu Bayi, asking, "Old Hu, besides apologizing to you, did they say anything else?"

Hu Bayi nodded, then glanced at everyone and said, "They want us to find a bronze box in the Hundred-Eyed Cave. They say their mother's body is inside the box, and they want us to find her..."

"Bring out your relative's body."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing seemed even more certain of one of his guesses.

As far as Bai Jing knew, there was indeed a weasel's corpse inside the bronze box, and it was over a thousand years old.

According to Hu Bayi and his companions, the weasel in the bronze box was actually the mother of the four weasels in front of them.

This also proves that the four weasels in front of us have lived for at least a thousand years.

Bai Jing thought for a moment, then said, "Alright then, we agree to your request."

As Bai Jing finished speaking, the four weasels in front of him bowed three times to Bai Jing and the others before disappearing through the doorway.

Watching the four weasels leave, the fat man sighed, "I never imagined that there were such hermits in the mountains and fields."

Bai Jing glanced at the fat man upon hearing this, but remained silent.

Hu Bayi replied directly, "The world is full of wonders, this is nothing. We might see even more bizarre things in the future."

Bai Jing didn't say anything, but turned around and walked downstairs again.

Seeing this, everyone quickly followed Bai Jing's footsteps.

Having already looked at the first and second floors, the group now headed towards the third floor.

For safety's sake, it was ultimately decided that only Bai Jing and Hu Bayi would go up to check.

Bai Jing and his companion made it smoothly up to the third floor via the dusty stairs.

Like the second floor, the third floor also has a long, dark corridor, a door blocked by red bricks, and then the same corridor end as the second floor.

Just as Bai Jing and Hu Bayi were still carefully exploring, the remaining people waiting downstairs who were also exploring seemed to have discovered something and began to switch places with Bai Jing and Hu Bayi.

Since Bai Jing and Hu Bayi didn't find anything on the third floor anyway, they decided to go downstairs.

When they arrived at the group, Ding Sitian pointed to the red brick wall above one of the entrances and said, "Look, it looks like someone has tampered with this place."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing and Hu Bayi also picked up their flashlights and shone them towards the red brick wall.

By the light of the flashlights, everyone could see that there were many torn Japanese signs on the wall, but Ding Sitian was obviously not referring to those; she was referring to a piece of brick that had originally been under the sign.

As they walked along, they found that all the doors to the rooms on the third floor were firmly sealed with red bricks, so solid that there wasn't even a crack to be found; they were all sealed with cement.

But this place is different. The bricks are extremely mismatched, and even their age varies. Most importantly, the gaps between the red bricks are not covered with cement, which clearly indicates that they were broken open and then filled with bricks.

Moreover, judging from the approximate shape of the spot where the red brick was removed, it was just a narrow space where one person could barely pass through.

Bai Jing didn't delay any longer. He stretched out his finger and grabbed the top brick, easily removing it without causing the bricks below to deflect.

As the so-called insiders watch the doorway, the outsiders watch the excitement.

To be honest, everyone present was an amateur, but there were some like seasoned veterans who could see at a glance the extraordinary skill Bai Jing possessed.

Bai Jing didn't offer any explanation, and simply removed the bricks from the wall one by one.

After removing a brick, Bai Jing was certain that there was no danger behind the brick wall, so he simply began to speed up.

Chapter 55 Crematorium

As Bai Jing sped up, the space behind the brick wall was soon revealed as the bricks were removed.

Bai Jing didn't feel any palpitations yet, which meant there shouldn't be any danger ahead for the time being.

However, Bai Jing could sense that there was an eerie feeling about this place.

Hu Bayi handed over a flashlight. Bai Jing didn't actually need the flashlight to see the situation behind him, but he still took it.
