Klein to make up one silently. 专业的忽悠……克莱恩默默补了一句。 Mill no longer suspects anything, is directing Detective Moriarty, across the disorderly living room, along steps downward, entered a quite spacious basement. 米勒不再怀疑什么,引着莫里亚蒂侦探,穿过杂乱的客厅,沿着往下的阶梯,进入了一个相当宽敞的地下室。 Here does not have the town gas pipe, but on the wall the embed has four metal candlesticks, the pale yellow ray drags erratically. 这里没有煤气管道,但墙上镶嵌有四个金属烛台,昏黄的光芒摇曳不定。 Trod the flagstone of ground, Klein cannot be bearing was sighing with emotion one at heart: 踏着地上的石板,克莱恩忍不住在心里感慨了一句: Worthily is the real estate of aristocrat, basement „fine repair”, moreover has almost my living room in present house is so big...... 不愧是贵族的房产,就连地下室都“精装修”过,而且差不多有我现在房屋的客厅那么大…… At this time, Mill pointed at the frontline saying: 这时,米勒指着最前方道: „There has a leaf of secret door, the worker transforms discovers.” “那里有一扇密门,工人改造的时候发现的。” Klein concentrates the eye to look, with the aid of does not calculate that the bright candlelight, seeing in the corner to have a leaf of iron grey stone door, it should form the whole with the wall, but actually exposes now. 克莱恩凝目望去,借助不算明亮的烛光,看见角落里有一扇灰白色的石门,它原本应该与墙壁形成整体,但现在却暴露了出来。 „Then gave you, attention security.” Old-fashioned gentry Mill gave a Klein lightened lantern, and urged one. “接下来交给你了,注意安全。”老派绅士米勒给了克莱恩一盏已点亮的马灯,并叮嘱了一句。 „In advance passes the wind?” Klein asked discretely. “预先通过风没有？”克莱恩谨慎问道。 Mill slightly does not shake the head to say obviously: 米勒微不可见摇头道: „Inside is not very depressed, but I have not made the worker walk am too far.” “里面并不算特别沉闷,但我没让工人走太远。” „Good.” Klein inspected under along item, wears good a black glove, in the Mill vision, is raising the lantern not so fast but so slow neither, close to that leaf of stone door, smuggled the cane to push. “好的。”克莱恩检查了下随身物品,戴好一只黑色手套,在米勒的目光里,不快不慢地提着马灯,靠近那扇石门,夹带手杖地推了开来。 In the slightly heavy sound, he then here ray, saw a road that is spreading the deep flagstone. 略显沉重的扎扎声里,他接着这边的光芒,看见了一条铺着深色石板的甬道。 The both sides and end several leaves of wooden doors of road, they have presented the decayed trace respectively, but can also use reluctantly. 甬道的两侧和尽头分别有几扇木门,它们已出现腐朽的痕迹,但还勉强能用。 Too is not ancient empty boasting style and flagstone that...... does not get married deep heavy/thick does not carve before...... has that viscount family replaced? Klein opens spirit vision quietly, gets hold of the cane, is raising the lantern, leads the way step by step. 不算太古老……不过门的浮夸风格和石板的深沉厚重不太锲和……以前那个子爵家族更换过？克莱恩悄然开启灵视,握紧手杖,提着马灯,一步一步地前行。 The ray scatters the darkness, when passed by the both sides rooms, as a result of these worker thorough explorations of Mill employment, he cannot through opening wide in the front door, sees the slightly empty scene, sees with the gate style quite consistent bench table. 光芒驱散黑暗,路过两侧的房间时,由于米勒雇佣的那些工人未曾深入的探索,他能通过敞开的大门,看见里面略显空荡的场景,看见和门的风格相当一致的长凳桌子。 No spiritual light twinkle...... Klein slightly makes the inspection, without the stop continues to proceed, before having arrived at the end the black to start out from opposite directions folio stone door . 没什么灵光闪烁……克莱恩略作检视,没有停顿地继续往前,一直来到尽头的黑色对开石门前。 Stretches out wears right palm of glove, he partly clamps the cane, makes an effort slowly , to promote the door. 伸出戴着手套的右掌,他半夹手杖,缓缓用力,推动门扉。 Let the person of tooth acid the fricative start to reverberate, stone door split a slit gradually, in the Klein's eye appeared suddenly point spiritual light, shone upon the entanglement staggered innumerable energy field color. 让人牙酸的摩擦声开始回荡,石门渐渐裂开了一道缝隙,克莱恩的眼中突然浮现点点灵光,映照出纠缠交错的无数气场颜色。 In his heart one tight, sends the thrust gate suddenly, then drew back backward several steps. 他心中一紧,猛然发力推门,接着向后退了几步。 The slit of stone door rapidly expands, a section black, creamy living creature falls from the above suddenly. 石门的缝隙迅速扩大,一截黑色的、滑腻的生物突地从上方掉了下来。 That is having the triangle head, has the large snake of red pattern! 那是条长着三角脑袋,有红色花纹的长蛇！ It draws out the upper part, is spitting the core, with ice-cold brownish yellow pupils looks at Klein. 它直起上半身,吐着芯子,用冰冷的棕黄的眼眸看着克莱恩。 pā pā pā, snake one after another fell from the gate, piles in the entry position. 啪啪啪,一条又一条的蛇从门上掉落,堆在了入口位置。 Crosses them, in Klein sees is a hall, the center of hall has various innumerable color snakes to wriggle is sticking together, formed the exaggerating snake nests of ten meter/rice lengths and breadths, the feeling of that creamy nausea heads on. 越过它们,克莱恩看见里面是一处大厅,大厅的中央有数不清的各种颜色的蛇蠕动着抱团着,形成了十来米长宽的夸张蛇窝,那滑腻的恶心的感觉扑面而来。 The Klein's scalp tingled with numbness immediately, could not bear and drew back two steps, even wanted to put aside the eye, does not dare to look straight ahead. 克莱恩的头皮顿时发麻,忍不住又退了两步,甚至想要移开眼睛,不敢直视。 Although he is a man, but he still fears the snake, the animal that most fears is the snake. 虽然他是一个男人,但他依然怕蛇,最怕的动物就是蛇。 This stems from his trauma, when he is the child, should he of sleeping like opening the door of room secretly, by the slit, appreciates the movie with the parents together. 这源于他的一个心理阴影,当他还是小孩子的时候,本该睡觉的他喜欢偷偷推开房间的门,透过缝隙,和父母一块欣赏电影。 Very unfortunately, one time what his parents have to look is the snake disaster piece, inside has a scene is to demolish the construction, finally dug out a snake of big nest, that dense and numerous creeping motion still profoundly memory in his mind. 很不幸,他父母有一次看的是蛇灾片,里面有一个场景是拆除建筑,结果挖出了一大窝的蛇,那密密麻麻的蠕动至今仍深刻地记忆在他的脑海里。 Can affect so many snakes with „sleeping talisman”? Klein swallowed a saliva difficultly, was saying to the air: 用“沉眠符咒”能影响这么多蛇吗？克莱恩艰难地吞咽了口唾沫,对着空气说道: „What means do you have?” “你有什么办法？” The bodyguard young lady puts on the form of black gothic long skirt to reappear in his body side rapidly, the mouth sips tightly, anything had not said. 保镖小姐穿黑色哥特长裙的身影迅速浮现于他的身侧,嘴巴紧抿,什么也未说。 Klein looked at her one eyes, she looked at Klein one, no one has opened the mouth. 克莱恩看了她一眼,她看了克莱恩一眼,谁也没有开口。 When there is a snake to walk randomly slowly outward, Klein coughed finally, repeats to say again: 等到有蛇缓慢往外游走,克莱恩终于咳了一声,再次重复道: „What means do you have?” “你有什么办法？” The bodyguard young lady had not replied, floated, in the road blows the cold cold wind suddenly. 保镖小姐没有回答,漂浮了起来,甬道内突地刮起冷冽的寒风。 Wū! 呜！ The wind sound/rumor surges, injects the hall, here temperature drops fast, close to the outside world 风声激荡,吹入大厅,这里的温度飞快下降,靠近外界 Wū! 呜！ Business hall that dense and numerous snake disperses suddenly, toward walks randomly in all directions, is seeking for warm more suitable survival place. 大厅中央那密密麻麻的蛇猛然散开,向着四面八方游走,寻找着更加温暖更适宜生存的地方。 After 2-3 minutes, the hall and road outer layer had light frost, that innumerable snake does not know where drilled. 2-3分钟之后,大厅和甬道表层结出了薄薄的冰霜,那数不清的蛇已不知钻去了哪里。 Wū! 呜！ The wind sound/rumor has not ceased, Klein hits is trembling saying: 风声还没有停息,克莱恩打着寒颤道: „Difference, was similar.” “差,差不多了。” The cold wind of surging slowed down, but the gloomy and cold feeling has not been weaken, the bodyguard young lady's form disappeared in the midair. 激荡的寒风放缓了下来,但阴冷的感觉并未减弱,保镖小姐的身影则消失于了半空。 Klein lifts to clamp right palm of cane, covers the mouth and nose, sneezes, then enhances the lantern, goes through stone door cautiously, enters that broad hall. 克莱恩抬起夹手杖的右掌,捂住嘴巴和鼻子,打了个喷嚏,接着提高马灯,小心翼翼地穿过石门,进入那宽阔的大厅。 Here style is consistent with the road outside, is primarily the pitch-black flagstone, is towering eight same color columns. 这里的风格与外面的甬道一致,以深黑的石板为主,耸立着八根同色的圆柱。 The high vault dangled the one after another metal round bar, its bottom carves the different living creature candlesticks. 高高的穹顶垂下了一根根金属圆杆,它的底端是雕刻成不同生物的烛台。 The candlestick of standing upside down...... takes the history department university student, can be called the character of elite as this domain reluctantly, Klein made the preliminary judgment through this unique arrangement: 倒立的烛台……作为历史系的大学生,作为这个领域勉强能被称为精英的人物,克莱恩通过这独特的布置做出了初步的判断: „Construction of fourth era?” “第四纪的建筑？” ps: Today two chapters deliver completely. ps:今天两章全部送上。
