"elder brother."
Aunt Xian and Brother Zhang were sitting on the dilapidated corridor of the guest house, quietly waiting for the next incident. During this period, the two of them started chatting.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Brother Zhang turned his head to look at Fairy Aunt, who pondered for a while before continuing: "I have asked my mother and grandma before, whether people in our profession take it as their duty to slay demons or eliminate demons. It is their duty to uphold justice, but none of them gave me an answer. Now that I have gone out to work myself, I am still a little confused. As in this situation, in fact, we all know that our task is just to bring this building to justice. If we rescue the people, the rest is just a waste of time, but why do we agree as a matter of course when you say they want justice?"
Brother Zhang raised his chin and thought for a while after hearing this question, and then replied: "I'm not sure, maybe it has something to do with cultural traditions. As far as I know, the core of our culture is that we don't advocate independence. What’s beneficial and what’s beneficial to others is the main theme.”
"No...Brother, why did you go so far?"
"It's a bit far." Brother Zhang said with a smile: "It's actually very simple. I think if there is no external pressure, we will instinctively choose to be altruistic. If it is a two-choice content, either complete the task or help others. Justice, most likely will choose to complete the task, because there is pressure. But if there is no pressure in this regard, most people will choose a best-of-two solution to complete the work and conscience at the same time. Of course, this is my own I understand, but I don’t represent others, I’m a pretty naive person.”
Fairy Aunt sat there in silence for a while, then whistled: "I don't know whether it's right or wrong, but your words make me feel comfortable."
Brother Zhang also laughed along with his words, and at this moment, the man who knocked on the door yesterday and sold specialties started to take action. He still knocked on the door but ignored Brother Zhang and Xiangu who were sitting on the steps. Xiangu tried to shout He didn't respond at all.
"It seems that his mechanism will only be triggered in the room." Xiangu sat back in the room, and then continued to think hard about how to trigger the midnight mission.
The main reason is because I don't know the details, so I have no way to understand how the gangsters entered the interior. If they can't think of the way they entered the interior, then they don't know how long they will be lost here.
"If according to what you said, they came in through the back door, then where is the back door? We have been looking around."
Fairy Aunt sighed, feeling a little helpless, and Brother Zhang was at his wits' end, because they searched all over and couldn't find any place with a back door. It was just a building plus a canteen, and that was all. It was clear where there was a door and where there was no door, but they searched for a long time but there was no trace at all.
At this time, Brother Zhang took out his mobile phone again and looked at the text on it carefully. It was the general information about this place sent to them by colleagues outside. However, because it was too old, the information about this place was obviously not comprehensive or sufficient. detailed.
"No. 45, xxx Road, is the earliest high-end guest house built in xx city. It was built in 1939 as a private house for a local businessman in xx. The four-story western-style building was once one of the landmark buildings in xx city. It was used as a building during the Anti-Japanese War. The local daily headquarters was later transformed into a guest house.”
Brother Zhang read this brief message again, but felt that it was of no use. However, Fairy Girl frowned: "Brother Zhang, do you think if this place was built in that era, would there be a basement or secret passage?" What?"
"Maybe, but where is the entrance?"
After the fairy nodded, she immediately took out the paper and pen from her arms and began to describe the general location of the guest house. Although he did not understand house design, he could always get inspiration from a flash of inspiration. This was probably The special function taught by their fairy aunt, anyway, this passive skill can always give him great help in very strange places.
"This is the entrance. There is a courtyard in front. When the local wealthy businessman built this house, he must be on guard against bandits and the like, so the front hall and courtyard are definitely not possible, because only after the first line of defense is broken, secret passages or underground shelters will be activated. Yuan."
Brother Zhang stretched his head and took a look, and then nodded with deep approval: "The largest and most luxurious room is on the fourth floor. Do you think our route was wrong all along? The secret passage is not on the first floor but on the fourth floor." On the fourth floor?"
The fairy girl snapped her fingers: "Go to the fourth floor!"
The two of them ran up to the fourth floor, and first knocked on the door of the manager that the half-faced beauty said. The manager was a middle-aged man in his forties. His expression was a very deep wound extending from his chest. When it came to the groin, half of the organs inside were hanging out, and there was a gap on the face that extended to the temple, which gave the manager a hideous and terrifying face.
However, although he has such a ferocious face, his tone and attitude are very calm, and it can be seen that he is definitely a gentle and polite person.
"Xiao Wu, do you have a problem with me so late?"
Brother Zhang glanced at Xiangu and tugged on his sleeve. Xiangu immediately reacted and looked away from the manager's face. Then the manager's expression suddenly became excited as if he was performing a mime alone. : "What are you going to do!"
After saying that, he took a few steps back and fell to the ground. The door was slammed shut, and then there was a ping-pong sound from inside, and finally it fell silent.
At this time, the door opened again, and the manager had fallen to the ground. The scars on his body were like that, and there was blood all around. At this time, Brother Zhang felt the clanking sound of keys passing by his ears.
Although there was nothing in front of them, it felt like someone was passing by them quickly with a key.
"Follow up!"
Brother Zhang pulled Xiangu, and the two of them immediately followed the sound. The sound of the key chain came all the way to an inconspicuous iron door at the end of the fourth floor, and then the iron door's lock and iron chain jingled. Clanging sound.
After a while, the small door was opened, and then the sound of footsteps coming downstairs was heard from inside.
"Why can't we see this Xiao Wu?"
Brother Zhang asked in a low voice.
"He's not dead!" Fairy Girl said firmly, "We can't see people who are not dead here."
Following the footsteps all the way to the bottom floor, Brother Zhang and the others discovered that this secret passage really led directly to the fourth floor. There were no doors at all on other floors. This led them to search inside and outside the first floor but failed. Can't find the location at all.
】
Moreover, its design is particularly clever. From the outside, it is hidden and integrated into the western-style building. It is impossible to find that it is a secret passage. Even the door outside only has an internal lock and no external lock. If you don't get close, It's hard to spot that there's a door here.
This place was very dark, almost to the point where vision was disabled, but both Brother Zhang and Xiangu felt that there was actually a third person beside them. After arriving at the bottom of the building, there was another rustling sound, followed by the sound of the door opening. .
"time!"
The fairy girl quickly raised her wrist, and when she saw the time, she took a deep breath: "That's right!"
Suddenly, the two of them felt a strong force rushing them to both sides at the same time, and then there was a messy sound of footsteps running upstairs. They knew that those things were coming in.
They quickly followed them and found that there was already a group of people in the corridor on the fourth floor. They held various weapons in their hands and divided into two groups. They began to open the doors one by one and drove out the people inside. They resisted a little. Just kill it. The other group went straight downstairs and began to block the entrance door.
Xiangu gave Brother Zhang a look, and then followed them downstairs, while Brother Zhang stayed on the fourth floor to become a witness and witness what they did.
The cruelty of these people was more terrifying than any movie that Brother Zhang had ever seen. They treated other people like a group of animals. When the waiter selling specialties tried to resist, they smashed his face with an iron hammer. The lake.
At this time, women's unique screams and pleas also came from downstairs. Brother Zhang frowned and followed these people, watching them drive people out of rooms one by one, and then went to the canteen downstairs. Rush there.
When Brother Zhang came to the first floor, the half-faced beauty who had been responsible for receiving them was already lying on the ground. She was naked, her braids were completely messed up, and her hair was spread out on the ground like a flower. There was a person next to her. He stood there with his ears covered and his eyes red, holding a claw hammer in his hand.
"How dare you bite me!"
His voice sounded very young. When Brother Zhang saw the gangster's face, he found that he still looked childish. No one could have imagined that such a young man could do such cruel and terrifying things.
After that, everyone was gathered in the cafeteria. At this time, their captors outside followed, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.
At this time, the leader of the gangsters started shouting outside, meaning that they knew they couldn't run away anyway, so they might as well fight a big fight and leave a name when they die. He also said that they had already done a good job here. Just want these respectable people to die a good death.
As he shouted, one of his men grabbed the chef in the guest house, shot him in the heart, and asked several men they held hostage to carry the chef's body upstairs and throw it away. Go to Sir downstairs as a warning.
What happened after that was just like what happened in the archives. These vicious gangsters began to treat the people here in the most cruel way. For a moment, the entire canteen seemed to have turned into a hell on earth, and the room was filled with cries and begging for mercy.
Of course Brother Zhang didn't come here to watch horror movies. He quietly wrote down the faces of each robber. Then he discovered that there were originally eleven robbers, but only ten could be seen here.
According to what the fairy said, people who are not dead cannot be seen. In addition to the inner ghost, there is also a gangster who survived, but the statistics are correct, there are still eleven.
"Li Daitao is stiff."
Fairy Aunt also discovered this problem. He came to Brother Zhang and looked at the human hell in front of him with a livid face. He snorted and said: "Being free for more than thirty years is really amazing."
"But how did those two people survive? Others won't identify them?"
Xiangu pointed to an inconspicuous empty seat among the hostage crowd: "That empty seat is Xiao Wu who killed the manager. He pretended to be a victim because everyone who knew his true identity was killed. I don't know the other one very well. , because I couldn’t see anyone, so I couldn’t figure out the specific situation at all.”
Brother Zhang stood there with his hands behind his back, frowning and quietly looking at the tragedy in front of him, a murderous look gradually appearing on his face.
"Brother Zhang, let's assume a plot. We know that the original goal of this gang was actually robbery. Why did they suddenly join forces to massacre a guest house?"
"Well. Didn't you find that they are quite familiar with the environment of the guest house?" Brother Zhang turned his head and glanced at Xiangu: "They may be out for revenge."
Originally, they wanted to continue chatting, but the screams one after another at this moment made it impossible for them to continue talking. Because Xiangu couldn't stand it anymore, she simply turned her back and looked out the window quietly.
It wasn't until daybreak that the gangsters finally calmed down a bit, but the most terrifying thing still happened. The scene of heart and lung porridge was staged again, but this time it was not the chef who distributed it but these gangsters. Their Their movements are skillful, and they look like professional cooks at first sight. There seems to be no difference between killing people and killing pigs to them, and feeding heart and lung porridge to the kidnapped people is just out of their bad taste.
"Do you think it's possible that this is their long-planned revenge?"
Brother Zhang turned around and asked the fairy: "If you can, grab it. If you can't, come here to take revenge."
"The possibility is not impossible." Fairy Gu nodded and said: "The identity information of those people is really too old, and some of them were soaked in water because the files were not properly preserved, so we are unable to verify it, but judging from the current situation Look, it’s very possible.”
Brother Zhang nodded, then took out his mobile phone and sent it: "Check whether there are any guest house employees among the survivors."
Soon the message came back: "Yes, there is an employee. His name is Wu Qiang. He was born in 1964 and died in 2017."
"died?"
"Well, he's dead. Before his death, he had been burning a boiler in a local unit. He later died of a stroke due to alcoholism."
Brother Zhang hummed. It seems that even the dead would not have appeared here if they had not died in the incident at that time. But now that Xiao Wu is dead... I am afraid that there are only those left who can initiate this incident. Another surviving gangster.
"Then please check who the six of the seven survivors are except Wu Qiang. It would be best to have photos."
