For some reason, when she heard the sound, Lan Keer, who was getting more and more frightened, actually stopped screaming, and her voice suddenly became mute.
Just like this, prompted by a sudden clarity, I instinctively shut up and silenced my voice.
Then, with trembling all over her body, the girl slowly raised her head and slowly opened her eyes.
Next, she was stunned.
because……
Lan Ke'er noticed the change, the difference. When she raised her head, she saw that there was no other restaurant in her field of vision. Where else is there any noise? Even the lady with the gap and the lady in blue had disappeared without a trace. In addition, she further discovered her personal environment and location.
Where are you?
On the rooftop of the building, on top of a water tank!
As for the place where the exquisite seats had been placed earlier, it was the place where I had planned to sit...
Astonishingly, it was a water tank mouth about one meter wide! It's full of water. A whole box is enough deep stagnant water to submerge hundreds of people! ! !
………
I changed my destiny.
He deliberately rewrote the destined ending and forcibly dragged Lan Keer out of the death vortex.
Although I am not the one who changed my destiny, I am still excited because this is a good start. Since I can change the destiny of others, I can also change my own destiny in the future.
………
Cecil Hotel, rooftop.
Plop.
Looking at the nearby hole of the water tank, looking at the bottomless deep stagnant water, a sense of fear came over her. The excessive fear caused Lan Keer's legs to collapse and she sat on the ground. Then her heart was beating wildly, she was panting, and her eyes were closed. He stared straight at the hole for a long time without any reaction.
The young Eastern man beside her, who was staring down at her condescendingly, was ignored by her.
"I, I...what's wrong with me?" Lan Ke'er murmured to herself in confusion and asked again and again.
Looking at the woman who was narrowly saved by him, He Fei said nothing or explained anything for her. He put the soul-suppressing bracelet back into his pocket with one hand and pulled Lan Keer up forcefully.
"Don't be in a daze, come with me!".
He quickly climbed down from the water tank and after landing, without waiting for the other party to speak, the young man pulled Lan Keer around quickly, returned the same way, and ran straight towards the rooftop gate in panic.
Yes, seeing this, the answer has been revealed, and everything that just happened was all done by He Fei!
Not long ago, He Fei saw with his own eyes Lan Ke'er climbing to the top of the water tank. Seeing this, the college student was so frightened that he did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly chased after Lan Ke'er and rushed to the last moment when Lan Ke'er was about to fall into the water tank. , and then at the critical moment, he took out the props and took out the upgraded soul-suppressing bracelet. As expected, because his strength had been promoted to the peak level of Li Qi, Lan Ruoxuan actually took Lan Keer out of the control of Nu Qi. released in.
Having said that, He Fei himself also knew that Lan Ruoxuan, who could only exert 50% of his peak Li Qi strength, would definitely not be able to defeat the hotel girl, and he would not be able to persist in front of the opponent who was an earthbound spirit. For a long time, it was already very difficult to get Lan Ke'er out of control just now, so strictly speaking, Lan Ruoxuan's main role is to delay time and help He Fei entangle the opponent, thereby creating favorable conditions for him to rescue Lan Ke'er.
With limited time, He Fei naturally did not dare to stay on the rooftop with no escape route, so he wisely chose to return the way he came as soon as he rescued the opponent.
Ta-ta-ta-ta.
In a hurry, He Fei pulled Lan Ke'er through the iron door and into the stairs. He ran non-stop until he passed through several floors. He didn't stop running until he reached the 11th floor in one breath. For a while, not only It was Lan Ke'er. Even He Fei was out of breath and quite exhausted. He finally caught his breath and looked around. He Fei suddenly discovered...
Joanna is missing!
The hotel receptionist who had been following him closely earlier disappeared. He disappeared without knowing when. .
Qiao Na didn't follow her?
(Damn it, I focused all my attention on Lan Keer just now, but unexpectedly ignored Qiao Na. But what happened? Where did she go? I had clearly told her to keep her tight. It’s better to follow behind. Why don’t you see me now? And when did you not see me?)
Scanning the silent corridor, thinking about various points, He Fei noticed that the situation was a little strange and something was wrong. Unfortunately, it was just a guess, and guessing alone would undoubtedly not dispel his doubts.
"Hey! Joanna, where are you!?".
After a moment of silence, He Fei plucked up the courage to start shouting, and tentatively shouted across the corridor. Unfortunately, no matter how he shouted or how much money he made, there was no reply in the empty corridor. At this point, He Fei hesitated. , deeply torn about whether to return to the upper level to find Qiao Na.
As mentioned above, the young man was in a dilemma about whether to look for Qiao Na or not. He could not make up his mind for a moment. It seemed like this, but the young man never dreamed that he could only think about it for a few seconds before a sudden and terrible incident happened. The moment prompted him to make a split-second decision!
Hooray, hooray.
"ah!!!"
In the corridor, a cold wind blew out of thin air. Beside her, Lan Keer instinctively screamed as if she had discovered something!
that is because……
He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Lan Keer's scream. The next second, He Fei saw the answer.
He saw with his own eyes blackness emerging from the front of Corridor 1, a large black mass of astonishing size, or rather a disheveled woman's head appeared out of thin air, and instantly appeared on the opposite side of the corridor!
The distance between the two sides is less than 20 meters!
"Wow!"
The howling sounded straight through the corridor. Due to the suddenness of the incident, not to mention the screams of Lan Ke'er who was the first to discover it, and even He Fei who witnessed it later was also frightened to death by the female moccasin's head that appeared in front of him. He was frightened to the point of death. His legs were weak and he screamed instinctively. Of course, fear is fear, and fear is fear. After all, He Fei is not an ordinary person. When he saw the mantle appearing, in just two seconds, the young man regained his composure and reacted before Lan Keer came back to his senses. Take action.
He grabbed the girl's arm, turned around and ran away. On the opposite side, the huge female head suddenly rushed forward and floated towards her!
He Fei's escape and Haotou's pursuit happened almost at the same second!
Ta-ta-ta-ta! .
While running, He Fei discovered the reason and the basic answer to the appearance of the mantis head.
Why do oyster heads appear?
Nine times out of ten, it was because of himself, because he had intervened, because he had meddleed in other people's affairs and saved Lan Ke'er, who should have died.
Faced with the prey being rescued, how could the female hawk be willing to give up?
When she was angry, the female locust simply showed up and chased after her without using any special abilities, intending to kill both the prey and the nosy guy!
Although the truth has been figured out and the logic has been straightened out, it is a pity that the above is not what He Fei cares about most at the moment.
What he really cared about was that he was about to have no escape. .
Strictly speaking, as early as when He Fei turned around and ran away, the young man's heart sank to the bottom.
The reason is that the location where the mantis head just appeared happened to be at the central staircase! ! !
As mentioned before, there are two stairs on each floor of the hotel, one is located in the middle of the corridor and the other is located at the end on the right. Now that the man's head appears in the center, in addition to directly blocking the central staircase, it also blocks the right staircase behind him, and he and Lan Ke'er happens to be on the left side, which means that the two stairs that lead to the bottom are all behind the head, and they have no way to escape!
Seeing this, some people may ask, since both stairs are blocked, and since there is no way to escape from the rear, why does He Fei still drag Lan Keer back? That's the end of the corridor, the dead end of the wall.
reason?
The reason is very simple, that is... having no way to escape does not mean that death is inevitable!
Although there are no stairs at the back, there is a place near the end of the corridor...
elevator! ! !
It was the weird elevator that Lan Keer took earlier!
Yes, in the urgent crisis with no way to escape, in the terrifying desperate situation of being chased by Haitou, even if the elevator is weird, He Fei can't care about that much, so he can only take a big gamble!
………
"Hehe, hehehe, ehhehehehe!"
The horrifying laughter echoed in the eardrums, and the ferocious head floated in the wind.
The current situation is extremely critical. In the corridor, listening to the roar of men behind them and feeling that death is approaching, they see He Fei running with a ferocious face, dragging Lan Ke'er as hard as he can to the elevator, while a head is trailing behind him. A giant female hawk's head floated rapidly!
Ta-ta-ta-ta!
"Ugh!"
While running, He Fei's potential was fully unleashed, and he swung his legs desperately. Fortunately, the two of them were already close to the elevator, and they were running desperately. Finally, with a loud roar, the two of them rushed in, and both of them jumped in. Rolling to the elevator, without even thinking about getting up, He Fei turned over in panic and pressed the button. At the same time, the head of the woman who followed him was about to rush into the elevator!
what does that mean? .
It means gambling, it means gambling on life. If the elevator does not respond when the button is pressed and the door is not closed, then once the man rushes into the elevator, the two of them will have no way to escape and will be completely dead!
(I once said that I personally do not want to gamble, but many times the development of events frequently forces me to gamble again and again, almost every time I risk my life.)
Ding!
As your fingers pressed hard, a second later, there was a sound and the elevator door began to close.
Seeing this, in the elevator, both He Fei and Lan Keer were instantly overjoyed.
What's even more coincidental is that just as the door was closing, a female head rushed towards her from outside the door, just in time to reach the elevator door.
Looking through the front, through the remaining gap in the door, the last thing they saw was a mouth, a bloody mouth that suddenly opened wide.
Then, the elevator door closed completely, separating the two men from each other.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
Panting filled the nasal cavity for an instant, and the body fell to the ground for an instant. His heart was beating so fast that it almost broke through his chest.
so close!
Just now, if the elevator door had been closed even a second late, the consequences would have been disastrous!
Let's not talk about He Fei's fear or luck. As the elevator door closed completely, the next moment, the elevator started running, carrying the two of them down and slowly moving towards a certain floor.
………
The second day of the supernatural mission, Cecil Hotel, 1:45 in the morning.
5th Floor.
"Ah... Phew."
It was late at night and the environment was silent. Because he was not good at staying up late, Smith yawned continuously and felt sleepy. He sat against the wall and tightened the collar of his suit, as if this could make himself warmer.
It wasn't until he finished the above that the black man looked forward with curiosity, looking at Cheng Ying who was sitting opposite with her head bowed and silent. .
I don’t know when, but Smith gradually began to admire the cold beauty in front of him. The reasons came from contact and experience. Yes, Smith has been basically in a state of anxiety since the two of them were trapped in the corridor on the fifth floor. It is true that he has no feelings for her. He didn't know much about it, but the black man became increasingly pessimistic in the endless dilemma of the corridor. However, nothing is absolute. During the few hours he was trapped, he never saw a trace of anxiety on the face of the girl named Cheng Ying. , Not only that, the other party's mental state was also very good. Even though it was late at night and early in the morning, Cheng Ying did not show any signs of fatigue. Instead, she maintained a high degree of vigilance for a long time.
The above questions are actually easy to answer. The main reason comes from Smith’s lack of understanding of Cheng Ying. If he could know what the other person’s occupation was in real life, then the black people would suddenly realize it.
Of course, everything is relative. If Smith admires Cheng Ying, then Cheng Ying is also surprised by this foreigner to a certain extent. She did not expect that a black man would be so easy-going. He was obviously trapped to death. Unexpectedly, the other party except for a slight expression On the whole, Afraid was not panicked. It would be fine if he were a veteran, but in fact, this guy is a newcomer.
So naturally, combined with Zongzong's observations and Zongzong's conjectures, Cheng Ying finally came to a conclusion for this bold black man. That is, the reason why Smith is not as fearful and desperate as ordinary newcomers is not because of his extraordinary courage, but because of his extraordinary courage. It is because of the large differences in folk culture that black people have a different definition of hawksbill than most people in the country.
This is what I think, and it is also true. Smith did panic and despair when he was first trapped in the corridor. However, as time went by, the initial fear has disappeared. If he insists on describing it, then at this moment, he is only anxious. The main source also comes from folk culture. Smith's understanding of the worm is very one-sided. Even now, he only regards it as a special existence that can use magical abilities. However, seeing Cheng Ying's extremely vigilant look, Smith naturally did not Dare to sleep, it is true that he is very sleepy, but what if the other party sneaks away while he is sleeping?
In that complex state of mind that was difficult to explain, after thinking of this, after hesitating for a while, Smith spoke first and tentatively said to Cheng Ying: "Well, is it okay if I call you Miss Cheng?"
The black man had nothing to say and tried to chat, but unfortunately the other party didn't respond and just glanced up at him.
Noticing the other person's gaze and seeing that the other person was silent, Smith didn't care about it at all, and continued with a puzzled look on his face: "Well, in your eyes, I am a foreigner. In fact, some problems are really difficult for me. To clarify, there is one detail that I still can't figure out, and that is... I noticed that you always look nervous when you mention the locust, so I would like to ask, what exactly is the locust? Is it related to us? Do the ghost moths used by Americans mean the same thing?"
Um?
Since she really didn't expect a black man to ask such a question out of the blue, Cheng Ying paused slightly after hearing this.
Faced with the above questions, for some reason, Cheng Ying, who has always ignored black people, responded this time, and then gave Smith a rare answer. At the same time, Smith, who had not had high hopes, was immediately overjoyed. The only surprise was that Cheng Ying Sakura's subsequent answer surprised him.
That's because Cheng Ying only said one sentence in a brief tone:
"This thing exists specifically for killing. They have different abilities. They are cruel and bloodthirsty. Once you are listed as a target, you and the wolf will have no choice but to fight to the death!".
After saying that, Cheng Ying turned her head and stopped looking at him. Smith also instinctively lowered his head and remained silent, seeming to be carefully savoring the meaning of his words. After a long time, when Smith had a thought in his mind, he raised his head again and continued to ask questions...
Ding!
Suddenly, there was a noise, and the originally silent corridor was instantly broken by a voice!
