Ever since he came to the second floor of the castle in fear, Liu Zhengkun has been praying for one thing deep in his heart:
(Brother Hao... No, Uncle Ha, please don't go to the second floor. And Zhao Ping, even if you die, you have to die a little slower. You should play more hide-and-seek games with that locust on the first floor, because you will die. The later it is, the safer I will be...)
If Zhao Ping could hear Liu Zhengkun's inner thoughts at this moment, he would definitely show an embarrassed expression.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhengkun's wishful thinking was similar to that of Zhao Ping. The only difference was that Zhao Ping used Liu Zhengkun who was heading to the second floor as a pathfinder or a scapegoat, while Liu Zhengkun regarded Zhao Ping as fighting for his survival. Pawns of time.
It's a pity that Liu Zhengkun didn't know... Even if the hawk on the first floor never goes to the second floor, the danger on the second floor will still not be lower than on the first floor, or even higher!
What happened is not complicated. Strictly speaking, Liu Zhengkun, who had a chance to escape, was frightened after he panicked and fled all the way on the first floor. How could he dare to stay on the first floor in a crisis-ridden place due to fear? So he fled straight to the second floor after thinking that he had deceived Zhao Ping. When he arrived at the second floor, since he had clearly learned that the tiger was on the first floor, Liu Zhengkun, who subconsciously believed that the second floor was very safe, did not choose to hide, but instead wandered around. I got up and walked around most of the second floor, which is smaller than the first floor. Along the way, I randomly walked into rooms on both sides to take a look.
There are many rooms on the second floor, and Liu Zhengkun kept walking back and forth among the rooms for the first time.
At this time, holding a cat's eye flashlight, Liu Zhengkun was observing something in a certain room...
"Well, this room is cleaner than the previous ones, so why not just hide here."
After saying this to himself, Liu Zhengkun nodded, walked to the door, closed it, turned around and sat on a chair next to the wooden table.
Then, Director Liu fell into his thoughts again.
(The worm on the first floor should have almost killed Zhao Ping, right? Ah! By the way, I heard that guy said that the mission was to deliberately disperse the executors and randomly distribute them throughout the castle. If all this is true, Doesn’t that mean...even though I only met Zhao Ping on the first floor, there is still a high possibility that there are other people on the first floor?)
Thinking of this, Liu Zhengkun's expression turned a little ferocious for some reason.
(Die, let them all die, let a few more die. It is best that the female captain named Ye Wei is also on the first floor, and then she is killed when she encounters Qi. This will save me the trouble of taking action in the future, as long as that person is called Once Ye Wei's wife dies, with my ability and wisdom, the rest of the guys are no match for me, and then the captain position will be mine!)
Especially the man with glasses who dares to mock him will die!
At the table, Liu Zhengkun became happier and happier as he thought about it, but not long after, a wave of worry came over him for no apparent reason.
Because he just thought of another thing, that is... what if he kills all the people on the first floor and then comes to the second floor to look for him?
No one can guarantee how long Zhao Ping can last on the first floor, and if there is only one Zhao Ping on the first floor, then after he is killed and he comes to the second floor, won't Liu Zhengkun still be in danger by then?
In other words, the glasses man named Zhao is dead at this moment, and he is already on his way to the second floor! ! !
Human beings like to think wildly, and sometimes the more they think about things, the more afraid they become. Sure enough, after thinking about this, Liu Zhengkun's face changed, and his whole face returned to the same pale color as before, or in other words, through his imagination just now, he felt Even the second floor seemed less safe, but soon, Director Liu had an idea.
(By the way, when I was walking around on the second floor, I seemed to notice that there was a staircase at the corner of a certain corridor! Yes! That’s right! This castle has a third floor!)
After thinking about this, Liu Zhengkun was immediately overjoyed, because in his mind... Since Qiu would eventually search for them one by one, he might as well just run to the upper floor. It was already past two o'clock in the morning, and Qiu was already looking for him. It will definitely take a lot of time to search all the layers. If you run to the top of the castle and hide... maybe the mission will be over before he reaches the floor where he is hiding! He will undoubtedly survive until then!
He did what he thought and thought it was not a good place to stay for a long time. Liu Zhengkun stood up in a hurry, opened the door and ran straight out of the corridor. There was no doubt that he was going to the third floor.
However, there is a saying that changes often happen suddenly. I don’t know if it was because he was too unlucky or if all coincidences were caused by the middle-aged man. Just when Liu Zhengkun was about to reach the stairway from the second floor to the third floor with full of hope, right in front of him, There was a sound, a series of strange noises from far to near:
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Liu Zhengkun's expression changed immediately!
The sound was very rhythmic, and seemed to be the sound of something hitting the ground. Judging from the location of the sound, it seemed to be at the corner of the corridor ahead. In other words, the strange sound not only blocked his way to the stairs to the third floor. At the same time, the path continued to approach his current location, and what frightened him more and more was... this series of bangs was so weird that it even made people's hair stand on end! ! !
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The knocking sound was getting louder and louder, which meant that he was getting closer and closer. Although there was some candlelight in the corridor, he still couldn't see clearly in front of him, let alone what would come out of the darkness...
The unknown is the scariest thing, so Liu Zhengkun was afraid. He stopped and stood there blankly. His face became paler and his legs couldn't help but tremble.
His mind immediately sent him a signal:
(Run...run! Staying where you are will only lead to death!)
Finally, the strong desire to survive made Liu Zhengkun react suddenly from the panic. First he looked around in horror, and the next moment he made a decisive decision and pushed open a door on the right side of the corridor, and rushed in quickly.
He hurriedly closed the door. Although he was already in the room, Liu Zhengkun, who had been sweating profusely, still didn't feel safe. He wanted to find a place to hide, but the room was so big and the cabinets in the room were so small. He couldn't. Like the big cabinet in the kitchen on the first floor, someone could get in. Seeing that there was nowhere to hide, Liu Zhengkun panicked. In his desperation, he instinctively looked towards the corner and turned to the wooden bed in the corner...
Finally, Liu Zhengkun finally knew where to hide. Without saying a word, he turned off the peephole flashlight, and the room suddenly fell into darkness. At the same time, Liu Zhengkun quickly got under the bed.
The scene shifts to outside the corridor...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the knocking sound continued to approach, under the dim candlelight, a black shadow slowly appeared at the end of the corridor, and along with this blurry black shadow appeared the strange and repeated thumping sound...
A few seconds later, the dark shadow that was moving slowly stopped at the door of a certain room. As for this room... it happened to be the room where Liu Zhengkun was hiding a minute ago!
First, he stood motionless at the door of the room for a moment, and then, the black shadow made a sound, and uttered a horrifying low voice towards the door in front of him:
"Are there...people...in there...?"
Ding!
The sound penetrated the door and entered the room. It also naturally reached the ears of Liu Zhengkun who was lying on the bed. When he heard the sound, Liu Zhengkun was shocked! The heart is beating violently! Because he was finally sure that there was actually a locust outside the door. The reason was that it was impossible for a human being to make that kind of sound, and he didn't expect it... He didn't expect that in addition to the first floor, there was also a locust on the second floor! That's all, but I didn't expect that during the random search, Qi happened to choose the room where he was currently hiding!
Returning to the topic, Liu Zhengkun's whole body trembled after confirming that there was a cockroach outside the door. At this time, he did not dare to make any movement. He closed his mouth tightly and subconsciously shrank into the bed...
At the same time, seeing no movement in the room, the black shadow outside the door did not leave, but fell into silence as before. In the silence, the door in front of him opened on its own! ! !
Squeak...
The slow opening of the wooden door was so clear and harsh in this dark environment.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as the door opened, a black shadow entered the room along with the series of banging sounds.
When he sensed the dark shadow entering the room, under the bed, Liu Zhengkun was heartbroken!
Although he was scared, fortunately he was not an idiot, so he kept covering his mouth with both hands to prevent himself from making a sound.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Then this series of weird thumping sounds continued throughout the room. Along with the noise, there was also the black figure's repeated soliloquy:
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"anyone there?"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Looking for...not...to..."
Boom! Boom! Boom! "
"Looking for...not...to...ah..."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"anyone there?"
Yes, at this moment, the black shadow is searching aimlessly in the room, and while searching, the very regular string of thumping sounds and the black shadow talking to itself keep echoing around, spreading everywhere, spreading. In the ears of Liu Zhengkun, who was already trembling to the limit, echoing in his heart that was beating faster and faster, the strange knocking sound mixed with the creepy voice was so thrilling, stimulating Liu Zhengkun all the time, stimulating Touching his fragile nerves.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Looking for...not...to...ah..."
Of course, although the constant infiltration of people's voices has been echoing in his ears, the only thing that makes Liu Zhengkun feel lucky and comforted at the moment is that Qi doesn't seem to have found him yet. After all, it is obvious from what Qi said.
So when he heard the words "can't be found" from Qi, Liu Zhengkun, who was hiding under the bed, felt relieved. This was actually easy to understand. When he thought about it, since Qi couldn't find him, it was impossible for Qi to stay there all the time. In the same place, as long as he can keep his composure and never make a sound, when the search is fruitless, he will inevitably leave. Once he leaves, he will undoubtedly survive!
Liu Zhengkun felt relieved when he thought that he would survive after all.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Looking for...not...coming, looking for...not...coming..."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
(Since you can’t find it, just leave quickly...)
When he heard Qi repeating 'can't find' again, Liu Zhengkun couldn't help but say the above sentence in his mind, but...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a few seconds, the dragon seemed to have moved a certain distance in the darkness. Suddenly, a very clear word resounded around him and passed directly into Liu Zhengkun's ears:
"I found... you are under the bed!"
Qi revealed where Liu Zhengkun was hiding!
What! ! !
At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and Liu Zhengkun suddenly trembled all over when he heard these words! His eyes were wide open, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything in the darkness, but that was the key point. The key point was the confusion and doubt that suddenly appeared in his mind.
(Why? Why can the hawk accurately tell where I am hiding! Didn’t it never find me before!?)
Finally, under the dual influence of fear and confusion, Liu Zhengkun trembled and raised the cat-eye flashlight, then turned on the switch and shined the light beam outside the bed...
then……
Under the light beam, the first thing that catches the eye is...
It was a face, a woman's face, a ferocious face with disheveled hair and blood!
The girl's eyes were wide open, and she was staring at the bottom of the bed at this moment, staring at Liu Zhengkun!
However, what is even more terrifying and creepy is that... that face, or that head, is actually upside down on the ground! ! !
This female locust actually... actually kept standing upside down on the ground with her head instead of her feet and jumped forward with her head! That’s why it makes the previous knocking sound when moving! ! !
In other words, from the current perspective, Liu Zhengkun is easier to find when he is hiding under the bed!
At this moment, Liu Zhengkun and Nu Ge were looking at each other, almost face to face.
Seeing this scene, Liu Zhengkun was stunned. At this moment, his expression froze, his body froze, his heartbeat froze, everything froze, and his mind went blank.
3 seconds later...
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
A series of extremely shrill screams broke the silence of the room and even spread throughout the second floor...
