People react differently when faced with great external pressure.
Some people break down and howl, begging for mercy on their knees, some make a last-ditch fight, and some people face the collapse of Mount Tai without changing their expressions... But now Bai Qing feels like a prey caught in a spider's web, she knows that she needs to escape immediately, However, once it starts to struggle, it will inevitably touch the spider silk under its body, thus alarming the hunter on the other end of the spider silk.
And the most critical problem is that she doesn't know who to trust, and who else to trust.
A waiter at a ramen shop? Or the driver in the cab
Which side are they on, and are they capable enough to save her
Bai Qing glanced at Zhang Heng beside him.
The latter smiled at her, and after they came out of the ramen shop, the two of them returned to the previous mode of being inseparable, and this time Zhang Heng did not let Bai Qing leave his sight.
"Don't worry, it'll be there soon."
"Um."
Bai Qing reluctantly twitched the corner of her mouth and responded that she could feel the hunter crawling along the spider's thread, which also made her feel more and more uneasy, Bai Qing didn't know how long her disguise could last.
The taxi driver was complaining about city traffic and rising house prices, but his voice sounded so far away in Bai Qing's ears, like bubbles emerging from underwater, even though Bai Qing knew that he should behave at this time I want to get closer to Zhang Heng and try to numb the other party's vigilance.
But she really couldn't do this kind of action anymore, her nerves had almost collapsed to the limit, and she would feel terrified just by looking at each other for a short time.
Bai Qing tilted his head slightly, and cast his gaze out of the car window.
Only looking at the endless stream of vehicles and crowds could make her feel a little more stable.
Because there were several red lights on the way, the taxi arrived at the destination a little later than expected.
The driver stopped by the side of the road, and Bai Qing noticed that Zhang Heng didn't use his mobile phone to scan the code, but handed over a twenty-yuan note, saying, "You don't need to look for it."
Then he opened the car door and walked out first.
Bai Qing followed behind him, and as soon as he got out of the car, he saw the Internet cafe Zhang Heng mentioned.
Its appearance looks a little old, the billboard outside the Ronghua Internet Cafe has only half of the four characters in it, and there are still a group of suspicious-looking teenagers squatting on the concrete steps at the door.
He should be about the same age as Bai Qing, but he is not at school, and the boys inside are still smoking, seeing Bai Qing's eyes light up.
One of them raised his head and said, "Why are you here to play, my brother will take you."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a figure blocking his sight and warned, "She is my girlfriend."
Zhang Heng took Bai Qing's hand again while talking, the boy threw away the cigarette butt in his hand when he saw this, stood up and wanted to say something, but then a voice came from the Internet cafe, "Don't cause trouble, Xiao Fei ! Otherwise, you and your people won’t be able to play games for free with me.”
The boy named Xiaofei squatted down resentfully upon hearing the words.
Zhang Heng then brought Bai Qing to the Internet cafe. The space on the first floor was not large, and there were only thirty machines in total. Probably because it was still in the morning, there were only seven or eight players inside.
The boss, that is, Zhang Heng's friend is a fat man who weighs more than two hundred catties. He sits in front of the cash register and also works part-time as the cashier girl. Seeing Zhang Heng and Bai Qing walk in, he nodded to them, " The private room is ready for you, vip number 3."
"Thank you." Zhang Heng nodded, and was about to go upstairs, when he suddenly heard Bai Qing say, "When I came in just now, I saw a red bayberry on the side of the road. I want to eat red bayberry, can I?"
Zhang Heng and the fat boss looked at each other, and the latter said, "I have watermelons and bananas here."
"It's okay, I'll just go out and buy." Zhang Heng said, probably because he had arrived at the Internet cafe and felt that Bai Qing could no longer escape, Zhang Heng's spirit had also relaxed a lot, and he was no longer as inseparable as before. He said to Bai Qing , "You go up first, I will come to you later."
"Hmm." Bai Qing said.
"It's good to treat this as your own home, just be casual." The fat boss also added.
Zhang Heng was like a gentle boyfriend, watching Bai Qing walk up to the second floor before leaving the Internet cafe.
Standing in the corridor on the second floor, Bai Qing took a quick look at the surrounding environment while there was no one around, but unfortunately, there was no possibility of escaping, and she also saw the camera on the other side of the corridor, so she didn't dare to say more. After a stop, I walked into VIP room No. 3 with my head down.
Unlike the dirty corridor outside, the private room is well-furnished, with two computer seats and a small bed for those who sleep at night, but there are some suspicious stains on the sheets.
Bai Qing looked around, and in the end he could only pick up the glass ashtray on the computer desk, hold it tightly in his hand, and then stood by the door, leaning his body against the wall, waiting for Zhang Heng to bring up the red bayberry after buying it.
This period of time seemed extremely long to her.
And to be honest, Bai Qing doesn't know how to escape from the Internet cafe even if he can knock Zhang Heng unconscious. The fat boss below is obviously someone from those things, or she can try to ask the bad gang outside the door for help? It's just that Bai Qing doesn't know what he has to impress those people.
Time just passed by like this.
Finally, there were footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door, and each sound seemed to step on Bai Qing's heart.
Now that things have come to this, she can only relax, close her eyes, and hold up the ashtray in her hand.
The people outside knocked on the door twice.
Seeing that there was no response in the room, after waiting for a while, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the door.
Bai Qing, who was waiting on the other side, also gritted her teeth and smashed down the ashtray in her hand, but her hand was only a fist away before she was grabbed.
After that, the man walked directly into the house and closed the door behind him.
The power gap between the two was too great, no matter how much Bai Qing struggled, she couldn't escape the opponent's control, and when she just wanted to open her mouth to shout, Zhang Heng covered her mouth.
"it's me."
Bai Qing opened his eyes and looked at the face that terrified her, his body trembled even more.
"Ask me that question." Zhang Heng said helplessly.
After confirming that Bai Qing nodded, Zhang Heng let go of his hand a little bit.
"You...do you like me?" Bai Qing said this sentence almost trembling, his upper and lower teeth kept chattering.
"Sorry, I'm from another world." Zhang Heng replied and put down his hands.
However, Bai Qing was probably frightened. Although he didn't use the ashtray to open someone's ladle, his eyes were full of distrust when he looked at Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng pointed to the unused pocket on the front of the pachinko shirt. The latter reached in and took out a tiny tracker the size of a coin.
