254: Chapter 254 Treasure Land 24

This window was separated by glass. Luo Yuejian crouched down and tilted her head to look at the situation outside the window, but since the opposite side was not illuminated by the light of a night pearl, it was naturally pitch black, and she could not see anything.

She stood back up and walked to another door. This area was somewhat far from where the night pearl was located, so the light was very dim. It was also at this moment that Luo Yuejian remembered: her matchstick item should have refreshed with a new matchstick, right?

She opened it and looked; sure enough, a matchstick was lying quietly inside the matchbox.

Lighting the matchstick, a warm yellow glow illuminated everything nearby. Luo Yuejian gripped the doorknob and tentatively pushed the door in front of her.

She had originally thought that a door with such a peculiar design must be some kind of mechanism or trap and would surely be difficult to push open. However, something unexpected happened.

Luo Yuejian gave it just a light push, and unexpectedly, the door was pushed open by her directly.

"Huh? It opened?"

Luo Yuejian widened her eyes, and a question mark appeared above her head.

"Why did this door just open like that?"

"That's not right. This shouldn't be happening, right? The process should clearly be that the door won't open, then she goes to slack off and space out, while incidentally finding a way to open the door!"

"You opened it all at once like this; how is she supposed to proceed?"

Luo Yuejian thought to herself that this would not do. She could not just leave this room so easily; she had to stall for time. Thinking of this, Luo Yuejian immediately turned around and went back into the room.

"It should be fine to check if there are any clues about the final treasure in this room, right?"

Holding the matchstick, she returned to the room and first looked around to see if there was anything in the room that could provide lighting, like an oil lamp or something similar.

Very quickly, she discovered a candle holder placed on a table in the Stone Room. This candle holder was rack-shaped and had seven candles embedded on it.

She picked up a candle, looked at it for a moment, lit it, and then extinguished the matchstick in her hand.

The candle's light was certainly much more stable than the matchstick's; after all, the light from a matchstick was inherently very faint and also very easily blown out. Therefore, Luo Yuejian chose to take a candle to use as her light source.

Before this, her focus had been on the doors and windows in the room, so she had not paid much attention to other things. It was also mainly because the light in the room was too dim, so Luo Yuejian could not see them at all unless she looked carefully.

But now, illuminated by the candlelight, Luo Yuejian noticed that there was actually a bookcase placed here. The cabinet stored many parchment scrolls. The outer skins of many parchment scrolls were covered with fine cracks, and the edges were rough due to the wear of time.

Luo Yuejian opened one of the scrolls; the ink had already faded, and the text on it could still be vaguely made out as a type of cursive English. Luo Yuejian could almost completely not understand what was written. The only thing she could understand was the phrase: "Believe yourself."

However, not understanding it was one thing, but she still pretended to flip through every book to stall for time.

When she felt that if she dragged it out any longer, the slacker system would issue a warning, Luo Yuejian reluctantly put down the parchment scroll in her hand and, holding the candle, continued to observe other things inside the Stone Room.

She did not know until she looked, and one look gave her a fright! It turned out that right in the corner of this room, there was actually a headless corpse!

"Holy crap!" Luo Yuejian was startled and almost screamed out loud.

That corpse had been huddled in the dark corner the whole time, completely inconspicuous, which was why Luo Yuejian had never discovered it. Seeing it suddenly at this moment, Luo Yuejian was instantly covered in goosebumps from the fright.

After finally calming the creepy feeling in her heart, Luo Yuejian approached the corpse with trepidation.

After getting closer, she realized that it was not actually a corpse at all, but a skeletal frame.

This skeleton was wearing a rather thick garment, which looked very old and was already a bit tattered; she did not know how many years this skeleton had been staying here.

It was only at this moment that Luo Yuejian realized that this might be one of the Treasure Owners who kept coming to explore the Treasure Site, as mentioned in the background story of this Miracle Escape Live Stream Game.

It was just unknown why this skeleton's skull had disappeared.

She hissed in her heart, thinking, "Could it be that a later Treasure Owner took this skeleton's head off?"

"But why would that be?"

She had no thoughts on the matter for the moment, but staying in the same room with a skeleton made her feel creeped out. She decided to leave this room and turned to walk towards the door she had just opened and closed.

Grabbing the doorknob, Luo Yuejian looked down. She had thought that medieval doors were all the type that you just push; she did not expect that it was her own ignorance—it was actually quite convenient.

Pushing the door open, outside was a very narrow passageway, with no end in sight. Luo Yuejian walked forward holding the candle; after walking through these twists and turns for about five minutes, the walls on both sides became slightly wider, enough for two people to pass through.

It was also at this time that every five meters on the wall, there was an oil lamp waiting to be lit. Luo Yuejian lit them one by one as she went. After the lamps were lit, Luo Yuejian looked ahead and blinked in surprise.

Because the walls on both sides in front of her were not just stone bricks, but had alcoves of various sizes dug into them.

Of course, alcoves alone were certainly not enough to make Luo Yuejian feel surprised.

What truly surprised Luo Yuejian was that in every alcove, there were actually all kinds of treasures stored.

In the alcove closest to her, there was a palm-sized vase with a vintage design and intricate patterns. However, due to the Corrosion of time, the vase, which should have had a gorgeous and delicate appearance, had been oxidized until it was pitch black.

Moving further ahead, there were gilded small bowls, enamel vases, Baroque-style jewelry, water bottles decorated with shark teeth, and even quite a few blue and white porcelain pieces. In every alcove, there was a treasure that could sell for a high price in the outside world.

Luo Yuejian looked to the left and then to the right, almost dazzled by these treasures. She stared wide-eyed, thinking to herself, "Could I have already found the final treasure? How are there so many precious items in this place?"

Honestly, even if someone told Luo Yuejian now that she had already found the final treasure and cleared the game, she would believe it.

However, the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game did not give any prompts, and no white beam of light for clearing the game appeared ahead.

Luo Yuejian could not help but suspect, if these were not the final treasure of this game, then what on earth was the final treasure of this Treasure Site?

Was it the Imperial Jade Seal or the Queen's crown?
