Chapter 1281 The Rocking Chair that Rocks on Its Own

After sitting for a while, Shi Lei thought about walking around the castle alone to see if it was possible to find the secret passage.

After all, the room he was in was on the second floor, and the secret passage was obviously unlikely to appear on the second floor. He had carefully observed the height of the castle before, and there was basically no possibility of a mezzanine between the first and second floors.

It was already late at night, and Andre must have gone to bed, and the servants in the castle had also gone to bed long ago. I just don't know if there will be guards on duty in this castle with Andre's identity.

After opening the door, Shi Lei walked down the stairs lightly.

In the castle, there were dim night lights at every corner, which made Shi Lei's actions much more convenient.

It was very quiet all around, and Shi Lei soon discovered that there were indeed guards on duty, a total of four people, but they were all outside the castle, and the inside of the castle remained absolutely quiet.

Maybe this was Andre's arrangement. He didn't like other people walking around in the castle when he was sleeping, which also provided further convenience for Shi Lei's actions.

Shi Lei searched almost every room in the castle, but he didn't find anything special.

Time quietly pointed to more than three o'clock in the middle of the night. Shi Lei sighed. It seemed that it would be difficult to find anything. He could only go back to the second floor along the stairs and enter the room that Andre arranged for him.

Pouring himself a glass of water, Shi Lei sat in a rocking chair in the room and drank it.

The rocking chair rocked gently, and Shi Lei felt very comfortable. In addition, he drank a lot of wine in the evening and searched alone in the castle for more than two hours. He was really tired. Shi Lei actually fell asleep in the rocking chair.

The rocking chair rocked gently and rhythmically. Shi Lei slept in such a chair, which was very comfortable, even more comfortable than sleeping in bed.

I don't know how long I slept, Shi Lei was awakened by the urge to urinate. He opened his eyes and looked out the window. It was still dark, so he got up and walked to the bathroom.

After coming back, he wanted to go back to bed, but because he was thirsty, he sat back on the rocking chair and drank water. The rocking chair began to rock rhythmically again.

After drinking the water, Shi Lei stood up, and the rocking chair rocked twice and stopped.

But when Shi Lei walked to the bed, he suddenly realized that something was wrong...

When he got up from the rocking chair just now, the rocking chair was still rocking, but when he came back from the bathroom, the rocking chair stopped rocking.

This means that if no one rocked the rocking chair, the rocking chair would be completely still in two or three minutes at most, but why, when Shi Lei woke up from sleeping in the rocking chair, the rocking chair was still rocking?

He immediately raised his wrist to check his watch, and the time was already five in the morning.

And when Shi Lei was lying on the rocking chair, it must have been less than three thirty.

This rocking chair seems a bit strange.

Shi Lei immediately walked back to the rocking chair and sat on it again. His body gently rocked back and forth twice, and the rocking chair began to rock rhythmically again.

Lying on the rocking chair, Shi Lei tried his best to keep his body balanced without exerting any force.

However, the rocking chair kept rocking, and each time, the frequency and rhythm were almost exactly the same as the previous one, and there was no intention to stop at all.

Interesting, this rocking chair can actually rock by itself...

Shi Lei frowned slightly.

He continued to lie on the rocking chair, wanting to test how long this rocking chair can rock.

Five minutes passed quickly, and then ten minutes, and the rocking chair was still rocking.

Shi Lei finally confirmed that there was something strange about this rocking chair.

He stood up and looked at the rocking chair, and then the rocking chair slowly stopped and finally returned to calm.

Grabbing the armrests on both sides of the rocking chair, Shi Lei easily moved the rocking chair away, which surprised him. Originally, he thought that this rocking chair was fixed in this position, and there must be a mechanism underneath, and some kind of transmission device was made, so that when someone lies on the rocking chair, the rocking chair can always keep a slow but steady rhythm.

But the rocking chair was easily moved away, which seems to indicate that there is no mechanism under the rocking chair.

Shi Lei lay on the rocking chair again and rocked it gently.

However, this time, the rocking chair only rocked for more than a minute and then stopped by itself.

"Huh, it stopped?" Shi Lei was surprised.

He rocked the rocking chair again, and just like the last time, it rocked for more than a minute and stopped again.

Shi Lei stood up and put the rocking chair back to the previous position based on his memory.

He lay on the rocking chair and continued to rock it.

Five minutes passed quickly, and the rocking chair was still rocking.

Outside the window, a hint of fish belly white appeared slightly. It was almost dawn, and Shi Lei seemed to have finally discovered some incredible secret.

He moved the rocking chair away and began to study the floor under the rocking chair.

The floor was tightly fitted. Although it was made of wood, it had been treated with quite good anti-corrosion. However, Shi Lei also saw that this floor was definitely re-laid in recent years and could never be a floor from two or three hundred years ago.

Squatting on the ground, Shi Lei gently knocked on the floor, and the sound of dongdong sounded no different from that of a normal floor.

Shi Lei knocked on the floor next to him again, and the floor made the same sound.

He changed several places in a row, and the floor made the same sound. There seemed to be no hollow space underneath.

However, with more places to knock, and Shi Lei's hearing now far superior to that of ordinary people, he still found some differences.

This difference is very subtle, but even such a subtle difference makes Shi Lei completely sure that there must be some secret hidden under this floor.

After thinking about it, Shi Lei moved a bedside table and pressed it on the floor where the rocking chair was originally placed.

Then, he sat on the rocking chair and rocked it gently.

The result did not change at all, and the rocking chair stopped rocking soon.

Is it because the weight is not enough?

Shi Lei found two more chairs, overlapped the chairs face to face, and placed them on the bedside table. Shi Lei reached out and rocked the rocking chair.

This time, the rocking chair rocked for a significantly longer time. Although it still stopped, it actually lasted for three minutes.

He found a bunch of furnishings in the room and pressed them all on the bedside table to continue to increase the weight on the floor.

The rocking chair was rocked again, and this time, the rocking chair actually lasted for five minutes...

Shi Lei completely confirmed that there was definitely something wrong with this floor.

There seems to be some kind of transmission device set up according to weight below. I don’t know whether it changes the magnetic field in the room or for some other reason. In short, this transmission device can keep the rocking chair rocking for a longer time.

Shi Lei grabbed the rocking chair with one hand and lifted it up. He found that the material of the rocking chair looked the same as the two chairs, the bedside table, and even the bed frame in the room. But it seemed that the weight of this rocking chair was particularly heavy, and it seemed to be much denser.

There was a small wooden hammer on the table. Shi Lei knocked gently on the recliner. The sound made by the recliner was obviously not exactly the same as the sound of other furniture in the room.

Shi Lei smiled. This is where the mechanism is.

There is some potential connection between the recliner and the mechanism in the room. If you want to open the mechanism in this room, you must cooperate with this recliner.

Looking at the sky, it will take some time before dawn. Shi Lei immediately left the room, went down the stairs quickly, found the location downstairs of the room where he lived, and began to study the ceiling on the first floor.

However, after observing for a long time, Shi Lei did not find anything special about the ceiling downstairs. Judging from the distance between the two floors, it was unlikely that there was any mechanism hidden in it.

Shi Lei felt puzzled.

Back upstairs, Shi Lei suddenly realized something.
