It only took a few seconds for Luo Qing's smoky body to overflow from a certain bookshelf and condense again, as if the bookshelf was on fire and the large amount of smoke produced by the burning...
"There is something wrong with the wall here, there are gaps, and the other side is empty." Luo Qing, who had re-condensed into the shape of human smoke, said, and his voice also became as erratic as smoke, but from the tone, he could barely tell that it was him... in the form of smoke , the voice is also different from the usual human form.
Unpredictable already understood what he was doing... Captain Vera suspected that there was a darkroom in the study. Since the darkroom was built, it would inevitably leave traces on the wall, such as gaps and holes, and Luo Qing's smoky body could not block it. through these gaps.
This ability is really something you can learn and use...
Vera nodded slightly, walked a few steps to the bookshelf that Luo Qing pointed to, and looked up and down... Mobi originally thought that the captain was searching for the switch in the darkroom. He even recalled the TV series he had watched in his previous life, and wanted to suggest that the captain was on the bookshelf. With just a twist of a certain book, or something like a lamp, the entire bookshelf or wall will flip over, revealing the entrance.
But... Before she could speak, Vera opened her arms, hugging the bookshelf from left to right, and then...
The sounds of wood breaking and masonry shattering came together, and there was a crackling sound... Vera actually pulled the entire bookshelf directly out of the wall, and all the delicate mechanisms on the wall behind the bookshelf connection were violently destroyed...
A hole was exposed in the wall... Vera just stretched out her hand and flicked it, and the talisman rolled, knocking down half of the masonry wall... An entrance was suddenly revealed on the wall, and the downward steps appeared in front of her.
The dust was flying... Unpredictable coughed twice and cursed in his heart. No matter how exquisite the design was, he was just a younger brother in the face of absolute violence.
Li Jian was both surprised at Luo Qing's magical form and lamented Vera's violent demolition. He didn't know what to say for a moment, and finally sighed: "There really is a secret room. Deputy Director Zhuo... actually built it at home. It seems that there is really something wrong with the secret room..."
Vera looked at the steps without saying anything, waved to a few people and stepped in first. Luo Qing followed closely, followed by Li Jian and Mo Chou.
The steps made of masonry are very steep, and there is a faint light coming from the underground. Judging from the depth, it actually goes across the entire first floor. It should be a basement or cellar...
Soon, several people arrived underground one after another. The light suddenly brightened around the corner, and Vera made a stop gesture.
"You're here...you're still here..." A strange male voice sounded, as if he had expected this:
"Now that you're here, stop hiding and come out!"
Mobi saw Vera turn around, signal to her teammates to be careful, holding a pistol in both hands, and followed a few people around the corner and walked into the underground darkroom.
This is a dark room like a cellar, with an incandescent lamp that is not very bright. It is very simple, with only tables, chairs and a bed. At this time, Zhuo Yeran, wearing the uniform of the Supervision Office, is sitting on the chair with a look on his face. Pale.
Seeing the four people entering the door one by one, Zhuo Yeran quickly unbuttoned his uniform with his left hand... What made everyone's heartbeat suddenly tighten was that there were packages of explosives wrapped around the waist of Deputy Director Zhuo's uniform, and his The right hand is holding the fuse...
Just a slight move and it will explode!
This is a posture of using yourself as a hostage and fighting to the death...
Such an amount of explosives could probably send the entire room into the sky, and even the townhouses next to it would not be spared. As for the people in the darkroom... Although Vera can be tempered, serious injuries are unavoidable, and the others will naturally die. .
There was a stagnation in the dark room, the atmosphere was as solid as water, and the five people's bodies almost stiffened at the same time... Unexpectedly, his palms were sweating, and he clenched his pistol. At such a distance, turning on "Accuracy" was enough to make a headshot. , Li Jian and the captain next to him also have such shooting skills... However, no one can guarantee that they can get there before Zhuo Yeran pulls the fuse... Moreover, once the target is shot, the body becomes stiff and it may detonate.
Once detonated, the consequences will be unbearable by anyone...
Things are in trouble...
Vera sighed and carefully tested: "Lao Zhuo, why are you doing this?"
As the captain of the Punisher, Vera has been working in Hot Spring City for many years, and has a relationship with Zhuo Yeran, who has also worked in the Supervisory Office for many years... There are many considerations in choosing to comfort her with the tone of "colleague Lao Zhuo" at this time.
Zhuo Yeran looked at Vera expressionlessly. Although his face was equally pale and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he remained calm and said sternly:
"Vera, let me go!"
As the captain, Vera took a deep breath and was in a dilemma... She didn't dare to stimulate the target, but she couldn't agree to the other party's request... She could only continue to persuade based on experience:
"Lao Zhuo... you should know that even if I let you go, can you escape Pandora's trap? No matter where you escape to Rodinia, Pandora will take you..."
"Lao Zhuo, you have only one way out."
"Hahaha...Vera." Zhuo Yeran laughed wildly upon hearing this, with a sharp look in his eyes, revealing his white teeth:
"You and I are both old men of the Inspectorate. Put away your trick of deceiving a three-year-old child... If I betray the Inspectorate, the best outcome would be to be exiled to Ayerkula Island. You and I both know what this means!"
"I want freedom, I just want freedom! I want to leave Hot Spring City, please let me live...otherwise..."
"Otherwise! You know the consequences, and you can't afford them!"
"Even if the explosion doesn't kill you, what about your team members? Li Jian is an ordinary person... These explosives are enough to make all nearby residents go see the Iron God! Even if you can't die, can you bear the consequences? Can the Hot Spring City Supervision Office bear it? Is this the consequence?”
As expected of someone from within the Supervision Office, Damn, your thinking is so clear... Mozhi swallowed silently and looked at Vera out of the corner of his eye.
Although the captain still remained calm at this time, his body was tense and the veins on the steel fists of his hands were exposed... The captain was in trouble.
"I'll give you five minutes to think about it!" Zhuo Yeran glanced at everyone:
"I only give you five minutes to think about it. After five minutes, if you don't let me go, everyone will die together!"
"No one should move. If anyone does, let's finish playing together."
After saying that, Zhuo Yeran forcibly established the rules of the game regardless of whether Vera agreed or not, staring at the four people tightly without even blinking...
Vera gritted her teeth and said nothing, as did Luo Qing and Li Jian... Suddenly there was only a cold stalemate in the dark room, and time passed by second by second.
Unexpectedly, he felt his heart beating violently... No, it can't go on like this! Five minutes later, it was still a dilemma... And who knew whether Zhuo Yeran's mood would change in the middle... If it dragged on, it would be detrimental to his own side... Mu Zhi swallowed a gulp of saliva, and his brain was thinking rapidly.
What should we do to solve the current dilemma?
Using mind reading? Find out what Zhuo Yeran is thinking? Unpredictable suddenly recalled the dilemma he had just faced at Xinglong Villa, and immediately rejected the idea. Now was the silent time. Talking rashly meant a greater risk than facing Das. In short, it was impossible to predict what Zhuo Yeran would think, and Paying the price is extremely difficult.
What should I do if I change it? !
At this moment, while his brain was thinking rapidly, he suddenly noticed a detail, a very small detail... Deputy Director Zhuo has been keeping a close eye on the four people, as if monitoring everyone's subtle movements and preparing to pull the fuse at any time, but ...A large part of this gaze is on me.
This is a strange phenomenon... He kept his posture but observed carefully. After a few breaths, he finally confirmed the situation... Most of Zhuo Yeran's eyes were on himself. He looked at himself more often than at the three captains. more times!
This is an obvious phenomenon!
But why...does this mean Zhuo Yeran knows me? Of course he knows me! He is Ai Liang's informant and a traitor in the Supervision Office... As the deputy director, of course he will collect intelligence about me and report my information to Ai Liang... Well, he knows me, he should have passed through After some investigation, I found out my identity and even my contract ability, so... Boss Ai learned about my contract ability. When he met Ai Liang for the first time, he easily read his mind, and the second time, Ai Liang was on guard, unable to read minds...
Although it is unclear how an ordinary person, Lao Ai, can resist the contract ability, but the previous logic should be like this...
By the way... Since Lao Ai knows about my situation, then... Brother Pence was obsessed with assassinating me at that time. This should be the reason why, yes, that's right! Pence should have learned the truth about his dismissal from the commission or Ai Liang, and decided that I was the culprit in his dismissal, so he targeted me... This makes sense! These news and intelligence all come from Zhuo Yeran.
Since Zhuo Yeran knows me...then why does he pay so much attention to me? The captain and Luo Qing are obviously higher in rank and more experienced than me. Even Li Jian is a well-known sharpshooter in the Supervision Office, so they are more threatening than me. How can a salty fish like me attract his special attention?
...Thinking of this, Mo Zhi felt a sudden inspiration in his heart. He felt as if a door had been opened from a desperate situation, and he had a sudden enlightenment, like a warm breeze.
He knows me, knows that I am unpredictable, and also knows that my contract ability is mind reading... Yes, it is the contract ability. Compared with teammates with rich experience like the captain and Li Jian, mind reading ability is probably the only one worth paying attention to. The difference... at least in the case that I don't show any special skills in other aspects, at least in Zhuo Yeran's view, what I deserve to pay attention to is my ability to read minds.
Yes, that’s right, it’s mind-reading! Zhuo Yeran is scared. The reason why he pays attention to me is because he knows that my contract ability is mind reading, and... he is afraid that I will secretly use mind reading to read his mind, so he looks at me without listening, thinking To detect if I am using mind reading skills!
He didn't say it directly, for example, he added at the beginning of the five minutes: "Unpredictable, I know you can read minds, don't try to play tricks in front of me, don't use mind reading in front of me, otherwise I will blow everyone up to the sky." ." It's because I'm worried that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, but it attracted my attention... Also, another reason for worry is that Zhuo Yeran, as an ordinary person, has no way of detecting the fluctuation of my symbol source, and also In other words, he couldn't detect my mind-reading ability at all.
This also shows that he has any weaknesses, or that he knows what weaknesses he has, so he is worried that I will read his mind... Also, as the deputy director, he knows that the contractor needs to pay a price, and he also knows that I have to pay the price. method, so... Damn it, he deliberately chose to give the answer after five minutes. This is a trap. In this case, both parties will remain in a stalemate and remain silent, and I will not dare to read his mind easily...
From the slight difference in eyes and the not-so-large difference in attention, he could read this tiny detail. Then...he quickly made a series of speculations and finally concluded the conclusion he had drawn.
The rapid thinking of the brain caused a lot of sweat to form on the temples... At this moment, Mo Yue desperately hoped to have the ability of his sister Luo Sheng to read more information from Zhuo Yeran's expression to support his guess. ...You must support your guesses, because the risk of such wrong guesses is simply unbearable.
Fortunately, with the awakening of his contract ability, his ability to read other people's expressions has become stronger and stronger unknowingly. In the past, many times, he could roughly guess the other person's expression just by looking at the other person's expression. thoughts, the other party’s thoughts…and the frequency of this phenomenon is gradually increasing.
He stared at Zhuo Yeran with bright eyes...
Almost at the same time, Zhuo Yeran's glance at the four people happened to be on Mo Zhi again. When their eyes met, the shock on Zhuo Yeran's face flashed away...
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the nasolabial folds deepened a little. Although they were subtle, they still deepened a little. The pupils also opened a little, yes, even though they were only a little... He concentrated on the unpredictability and captured Deputy Director Zhuo. When looking at himself, the expression on his face changes slightly.
These changes...are a palpable emotional fear!
At the same time, there is also a little uneasiness...
This kind of emotional composition can almost confirm my guess... He is indeed afraid of me, and according to speculation, he is actually afraid of me using my mind-reading skills.
Huh... Mu Zhi forced himself to control the changes in his expression, and slowly raised his hand under the gaze of Deputy Director Zhuo.
His movements were very light and slow, indicating that he was not a threat.
At the same time, this action also has another meaning, that is, "I have something to say." The reason why I didn't raise my hands immediately and quickly is because everyone is tense now. Fast, it is likely to trigger subconscious habitual actions in these people. For example, Vera may directly steel herself and rush forward desperately, Li Jian may directly draw his gun and shoot the deputy director in the head, while Zhuo Yeran may subconsciously pull Use the fuse to blow everyone up into the sky.
Of course, Zhuo Yeran caught all of Mu Zhi's movements in his eyes. He hesitated for a second and asked coldly:
"Unpredictable, what are you going to do?"
Finally, I can have a conversation. If I can have a conversation, I can find a way to pay the price, and I can use mind-reading skills... I can't predict how to calm down:
"Director Zhuo, I think we can talk."
...
Update first, then correct typos.
