Chapter 2710: Dimly lit room

In the basement, Ye Tianzheng took David and the others to explore and introduced them to the situation.
"Like the basements of the three historic buildings near Trajan's Square that we explored yesterday, the basement of this early Renaissance building was originally part of the Roman Underground City.
In the mid-fifteenth century, when the Vatican Palace built the Venetian Palace and these two historical buildings, it used this part of the Roman underground city, sealed up the passage to other places and transformed it into a basement.
In terms of chronology, the history of this basement is three to five hundred years earlier than the building on the ground. When constructing these two historical buildings on the ground, the Vatican used a lot of stone from the nearby Colosseum.
In the middle of the 15th century, the Colosseum was reduced to ruins. Many Romans transported stones from there to build various buildings. In this basement, you can see a lot of stones from the Colosseum."
After speaking, Ye Tian pointed to a stone laid on the wall.
It seemed to be an old building fragment with some primitive patterns carved on it, coming from the Colosseum not far away.
The location of this building fragment was originally a passage. As early as the mid-fifteenth century, it was blocked with various bricks and stones and transformed into a small basement.
Many of the stones used to block this passage come from the nearby Colosseum!
At this time, Ye Tian and the others had just entered the basement, and their exploration activities had just begun. There was no surprise yet.
A few of them were in a small basement. The area was small, only 20 square meters. It used to be used to store things, but now it is empty.
And the wooden door of this basement is nailed with a metal nameplate with a set of numbers engraved on it, corresponding to an apartment upstairs, which obviously belongs to the basement of that apartment.
There are dozens of similar small basements in this underground space.
Because these two historical buildings occupy a relatively large area, the underground space below them is also very large. This underground space is artificially divided into dozens of small basements, each corresponding to an apartment upstairs.
In this way, this underground space is like a maze, which makes people dizzy to look at.
Naturally, this also added a lot of difficulty and workload to Ye Tian and his team's exploration and action layer.
When Ye Tian introduced the situation of this small basement, Ian and another company employee were using the pulse metal detector to carefully explore the ground and walls of this basement.
It's a pity that they scanned the entire basement, and they didn't miss a corner, but the pulse metal detector never sounded.
Obviously, there are no buried metal objects in this small basement, and there are no secrets or treasures.
After confirming this point, Ye Tian pretended to check this place seriously, and then took David and the others out of this basement and walked to another adjacent basement.
Soon, more than half an hour passed.
Ye Tian and the others walked out of a small basement again, and still found nothing, David and Ian were somewhat disappointed on their faces.
Only Ye Tian, whose expression was very calm and excited, was about to walk into a small basement opposite.
At this moment, an excited voice suddenly came from the intercom.
"Steven, this is Zach. You'd better come to the second floor. We found a hidden compartment hidden in the wall in a room that was used as a warehouse. I don't know if something is hidden in it."
Before they could say anything, David and Ian already showed ecstatic expressions on their faces, and they cheered.
Ye Tian also laughed softly, then picked up the intercom and said:
"Good job, Zach, let's go to the second floor right away and see what you found."
After speaking, Ye Tian took David to the stairs and went straight to the second floor.
In a blink of an eye, they had come up from the basement and reappeared in the lobby on the first floor.
As they appeared, the people from all walks of life who stayed in the reception area on the first floor all turned their heads and looked forward to them.
Ye Tian looked at these guys, then smiled and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I can tell you the good news. My employees found a hidden compartment hidden in the wall in a room on the second floor of this historic building.
As for what is hidden in the hidden grid, or it is empty, there is no way to know for the time being. Only by finding a way to open the hidden grid can we know the result. I hope to get a surprise!
In order to ensure the openness and transparency of this exploratory operation, each of you can send a representative to follow me to the room on the second floor to witness the whole process of opening the secret compartment on the spot.
The area of that room is small, and we are likely to have to break the wall. In order to facilitate the movement, the number of people who can enter that room must be limited, so you can only go to one of you."
Following Ye Tian's remarks, the guys sitting in the reception area seemed to be electrocuted collectively, and all swished up from the sofa or chair.
At the same time, there was a burst of exclamation.
"Gosh! There are really hidden secrets here, it's incredible!"
"A hidden cell hidden in the wall. I don't know who set it and when? What is hidden in the hidden cell?"
While everyone exclaimed, the curator of the Palazzo Venezia Museum and several Italian experts and scholars who were also on the scene all had a painful expression with eyes full of regret!
After exclaiming, these people of different origins quickly elected their representatives.
After that, Ye Tian took these representatives to the second floor, and the others could only wait on the first floor, looking at the stairs leading to the second floor eagerly.
While talking, Ye Tian and the others had arrived on the second floor and entered the room where Zac and the others were.
At this time, the two media reporters who were reporting on the scene, as well as the representatives of all parties responsible for on-site supervision, had arrived in the room located in the middle section of the second floor, all looking at the wall on the north side of the room.
The Zach team, who was in charge of exploring this room, stood in front of that wall, tapping on the wall with their hands, apparently looking for the mechanism to open the secret compartment.
Seeing Ye Tian and the others come in, the boy Zach immediately stopped his movements, greeted them, and said excitedly:
"Steven, on this wall, we explored a series of metal signals, distributed in a rectangle, with an area of more than two square meters. From the shape, it should be a rectangular metal grid.
Where is the mechanism that opened this secret grid~www.wuxiaspot.com~ We didn’t find it. I believe you can find it. As for what is hidden in this secret grid, we don’t know, but it’s definitely not a metal object.
Besides, this room is different from the other rooms on the second floor. This room has no windows, is small in size, and there is only one room. The other rooms on the second floor are basically apartments with windows with good light.
As far as we know, this room was unoccupied for a long time and could not be rented out, so it was used by the apartment management as a utility room for stacking various sundries, which can be seen from the mottled walls."
With that, Zach pointed his finger around this small room and introduced the situation here.
As he said, this room is very small, there are no windows, no kitchen or bathroom, it looks very constrained and depressing. If it weren't for the light in the room, the light here must be very dim.
Of course, rooms like this cannot be rented out. Under normal circumstances, they can only be used as utility rooms or garbage rooms.
Ye Tian first glanced at the situation in this room quickly, then nodded and said:
"Good job, Zach, you are very careful to observe. This kind of room is indeed not suitable for living, but it is very suitable for hiding some unknown secrets. Under normal circumstances, few people pay attention to this kind of place!"
With that said, he had come to the wall on the north side of the room, stopped, pretending to be serious, began to look at the wall, and beat on the wall.
At the same time, Zach and the others also picked up the pulse metal detector again and stuck the probe on the wall.
Following their movements, there was a sweet chirping in the room, which sounded like a natural sound!
Ye Tian immediately looked over his head, looked at the LCD screen of the pulse metal detector, and started analyzing based on the information displayed on it!
