Tussa's abandoned castle, in a room on the second floor.
On the table, the flashlight lit up a beam of light. The beam of light pierced the darkness, adding more light to the originally dark room, but the closed door still restricted the light to this small space.
In the room, next to the wooden table, two people are currently sitting facing each other, a young man with a delicate face and a gentle man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
Adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses, Zhao Ping looked solemnly and said to He Fei in a tentative tone: "You mean...this castle has three floors?"
He Fei nodded noncommittally at first, but then shook his head, and then changed the topic and replied: "What you said is both right and wrong. Strictly speaking, the ground building of this castle does only have three floors, but it has to be calculated. Go to the basement...that should be the fourth floor."
As soon as he said this, Zhao Ping directly asked with a puzzled expression this time: "Fourth floor? You mentioned those oil paintings before, but isn't there nothing in the fourth oil painting?"
In fact, what Zhao Ping said is not unreasonable, and the meaning of his words is clear and clear. After hearing this, He Fei still shook his head and replied: "No, I am sure it is the fourth floor. Although all this is just my personal guess, I will never do it without reason. To be fair, if you know the details, I can tell you my reasoning and analysis."
Zhao Ping said nothing and nodded.
Seeing the curious expression on the bespectacled man's face, He Fei calmed down and said, "I wonder if you still remember the video you watched in Car No. 1. There was a scene of a human slaughterhouse in the video, and in that scene The most impressive thing besides the corpses everywhere is the bad environment. The environment is very dark. Although other floors of the castle are also very dark, it is still brighter than the slaughterhouse anyway. Have you ever thought about slaughtering? There are so many corpses in the factory, and if the slaughterhouse was located on the ground floor, then the smell of blood and decay from these corpses would have spread to all parts of the castle."
Having said this, he paused and glanced at the thoughtful man with glasses. He Fei then continued: "So, I dare to conclude that since we all knew from the video preview that there is indeed a person in the castle. Dark slaughterhouse, then the location of the slaughterhouse will only be in the basement. After all, only the basement in a closed state can isolate the smell of blood and rancidity. In this case, it is natural that the fourth oil painting is full of darkness. Explanation, let me give you a simple example, if this castle is in the daytime, and no lighting tools are used during the day, then which floor will always be invisible even in the daytime?"
Not to mention, after He Fei finished his personal analysis, Zhao Ping felt that it was exactly as the other party analyzed. Perhaps this is the most reasonable explanation at present.
After hearing this, the man with glasses couldn't help but nodded, but...
"ah!"
As soon as He Fei finished speaking, suddenly, a shrill scream came from the distance, which instantly resounded throughout the surroundings and spread throughout the floors.
As expected, when they heard the screams, He Fei and Zhao Ping immediately trembled in their hearts. They first glanced at each other, and soon Zhao Ping took the lead and whispered expressionlessly: "It's Liu Zhengkun's voice."
He Fei frowned, but did not speak. He was thinking... thinking about whether the second level was what he had guessed, because it was related to whether he and Zhao Ping could continue to stay here.
There was silence for a while. Under the gaze of the man with glasses, it took several minutes before He Fei came back to his senses. But who would have thought that before he could open his mouth...
Boom...boom...boom...
Through the door, a series of very regular knocking sounds came from outside the door, directly reaching the ears of He Fei and Zhao Ping.
The sound is quite rhythmic, moving from far to near, and seems to be getting closer and closer to this place! ! !
Sure enough, when he heard this familiar voice, Zhao Ping, who had had a terrible experience on the second floor, suddenly changed his expression! He stood up suddenly and ran towards the door without even thinking about it. Yes, the man with glasses was so frightened that he instinctively wanted to run away...
"Wait a moment!"
Unexpectedly, just as the bespectacled man ran to the door, He Fei stood up in a hurry but did not hesitate to stop him.
Seeing Zhao Ping cast a puzzled and nervous look at him, He Fei said nothing nonsense and directly said to the man with glasses: "Do you still remember the axe-weevil on the first floor not long ago? Do you still remember how fast the axe-weevil is?" ?The speed of the turtle in the corridor currently sounds very slow, but have you ever thought about the speed of the turtle once it finds a living person? And the room we are currently in is in the middle of the corridor. If you go out now, it will happen. Being seen by a tiger..."
Although He Fei hadn't finished what he said later, Zhao Ping, who was also a smart man, instantly understood the meaning of the other party's words. It was only after hearing what He Fei said that he suddenly recalled the axe-weed bug on the first floor. Indeed, without noticing it, The Axis moves very slowly when there is a living person. After all, like He Fei, he once confirmed on the first floor that the Axis does not move very fast when there is no living person. However, just as He Fei said, he, Zhao Ping, also once confirmed I have seen with my own eyes how fast the axe-cat can go once it locks onto a living person and starts to chase him! Terrifyingly fast, far faster than human beings!
Of course, with Zhao Ping's intelligence, he could easily think of this, but the sudden panic and fear made him confused when he heard the movement outside the door. If He Fei hadn't reminded him in time, once he was in the corridor and was attacked by See... you can imagine what will happen to you then.
The examples are separate, but the principles are the same. After thinking about this, Zhao Ping retracted the hand that was on the doorknob and was about to push the door open. Yes, he did not dare to take the risk, and no one dared. Make sure he won't be spotted when he goes out.
Boom, boom, boom...
Let's get back to the subject, let's not talk about the feelings of the two people who are currently trapped in the room and dare not go out, but as time goes by, the series of strange knocks outside the door never stop from beginning to end. Not only does it not stop, it is even louder than before. It was clearer before.
In other words... the hawk is approaching! They are moving along the corridor and are about to reach the room where the two of them are! There is no way for them to escape now! ! !
In the room, the noise became clearer and clearer, and Zhao Ping's face became paler, because he knew very well that once he was blocked in the room, it would basically be a dead end. This was why he would rather wander around in the empty hall on the first floor than to The real reason why he wanted to hide on the second floor was what he was most worried about.
Unfortunately, God did not follow his wishes. He and He Fei were chased to the second floor by an axe-weeper. At this moment, they were both blocked in the room by another weevil on the second floor.
"Can't escape..."
Hearing the noise outside the door getting closer and closer, Zhao Ping was almost desperate. In despair, the man with glasses said the above sentence with a pale face. As soon as he finished speaking, He Fei said in a calm tone: "Since you can't escape, , then hide!"
Zhao Ping nodded silently. Judging from the current situation, since there was no way to escape, he could only hide in advance before the bug in the corridor noticed the two of them.
Time was running out. Just after He Fei said the words "hide", Zhao Ping quickly picked up the cat's eye flashlight that he had placed on the table and quickly shone the surroundings. It seemed that he wanted to find a hiding place, but unfortunately the room was so big. , it is basically difficult to hide people. Seeing that there is nowhere to hide, the man with glasses panicked. At the critical moment, he turned his eyes behind him, and finally locked his eyes directly under the wooden bed in the corner.
There is no doubt that Zhao Ping's intention is very simple. The only place where he can hide people is under the bed.
Then, the bespectacled man hurriedly leaned over and tried to crawl under the bed. But just as he was trying to crawl to the bottom of the bed, a hand stretched out from behind grabbed him without hesitation and held him tightly. Man arms.
And the person who grabbed his arm and stopped his movements... was naturally only He Fei who was staying with him.
Seeing that his hiding was blocked, and seeing that the other party was still standing there without any movement for a long time, Zhao Ping suddenly turned his head and looked at He Fei. For a moment, his eyes not only carried a look of confusion but also a hint of anger. It was obvious that , he couldn’t understand why the other party wanted to stop him from hiding, but He Fei was not afraid of Zhao Ping’s gaze at all. He looked at Zhao Ping and said one sentence to him, one sentence that was enough to shock the man with glasses: " Unless you want to die, I advise you not to hide under the bed!"
Boom, boom, boom!
At the same time, the knocking on the door became louder.
Qi, come here quickly, Qi will soon arrive outside the room where the two of you are!
At this moment, no matter how puzzled or angry Zhao Ping was, He Fei's serious warning words really brought the bespectacled man back to reality in a panic. Yes, Zhao Ping is not an impulsive person. He has always been very rational. Sometimes they can even be so rational that they make people feel cold-blooded. That is true, but no matter how rational people are, they are still human beings. Everyone is afraid of death, especially when faced with fear or impending death, they will still panic. First of all, Forcing himself to regain his composure, the man with glasses then asked He Fei in a low voice: "What did you mean by what you just said?"
He Fei shook his head and did not answer immediately. Instead, he made the first move under Zhao Ping's slightly puzzled gaze. He quickly picked up a stool and first placed it on the table on the right side of the room that was about one person tall. Under the cabinet, and then climbed to the top of the cabinet while stepping on a stool!
"This, this is what you are doing?"
Boom, boom, boom!
Before the astonished Zhao Ping could react, when he heard another knocking sound outside the corridor, He Fei greeted him anxiously on the cabinet: "There's no time to explain, come up! Come up!"
Looking up at He Fei squatting on the top of the cabinet, and seeing the other person constantly urging him, Zhao Ping's face began to twitch, yes... He didn't understand the other person's intention, hiding on the cabinet? This is too obvious! Are you hiding in such an obvious place because I'm afraid the turtles won't be able to see you?
At this moment, as the twitching on his face became more intense, the man with glasses fell into a tangle, until...
"Believe me!"
Until the young man's voice came again, Zhao Ping looked into He Fei's eyes. For a while, the two looked at each other without saying a word.
Finally, Zhao Ping moved, gritted his teeth and climbed straight onto the cabinet.
(Whether it’s life or death, I, Zhao Ping, will trust you with my life just once!)
