I don’t know if it’s the real situation or my auditory hallucination. At this time, I can still faintly hear the intermittently beeping sound coming from the red light thing in front of me. It’s like the time bomb countdown seen in the TV series. the sound of!
Everyone had discovered the red light in front of them, but no one asked, and the scene fell into a deathly silence.
We were silent for about a minute before the office director asked with a trembling voice: "What is that thing in front of you? It can't be a bomb, right?"
At this time, Lin Yingxue took out her dagger again from somewhere and was about to go forward to check. I hurriedly reached out and pulled her back. Just as I was about to tell her not to act rashly, Bai Longfei suddenly took off his coat and threw it away. He stood aside, and then said to me without looking back: "Ji Wen, please step back first, I will go over and take a look."
"Brother Long, don't go there! Let's find another exit to leave!"
I wanted to hold Bai Longfei, but Bai Longfei waved his hand to me and said, "Don't worry, I learned the principles of bombs during military training. I just went to see if it was a real bomb and whether it could pose a threat to us." , Don’t worry, I won’t do anything stupid.”
No matter what, I was still full of confidence in Bai Longfei. I immediately turned on the flashlight of my mobile phone and threw it to Bai Longfei and said, "Brother Long, be careful!"
Bai Longfei caught my phone and carefully approached the bomb in front of him step by step. Every time he took a step, he would carefully check the situation on the ground with the light of his phone, as if he was afraid of stepping on something that could trigger the bomb. organ.
Watching Bai Longfei walk forward step by step, my heart almost rose to my throat. Even Lin Yingxue nervously held my hand, her palms sweating. I reached out and touched her hair. , signaling her not to be nervous, I believe Bai Longfei can do it!
Everyone around knew that this was a critical moment. No one dared to speak or even breathe too loudly. We could hear Bai Longfei's forward steps clearly. There was not much sound in the newspaper building at this time. It all seemed to have an echo.
I watched helplessly as Bai Longfei finally approached the red bomb. He squatted in front of the bomb and carefully observed the bomb with the light of his mobile phone. However, his body happened to block my sight, and the surrounding area was too dark, so I did not I couldn't see clearly what the bomb looked like.
We were anxiously waiting for the results of Bai Longfei's examination. After about five minutes, Bai Longfei, who was squatting on the ground, slowly stood up, stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, turned to us and smiled: "Don't worry. , this is a trigger bomb, it seems to be remote-controlled. If we leave like this, it won't explode. Come here carefully, I will take you out of here."
Hearing Bai Longfei's words, all of us breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did I realize that there was already a layer of sweat on my forehead. I immediately pulled Lin Yingxue and called the people around me to follow us to prepare. Leave the newspaper office.
"Hello everyone, welcome to my game!"
Just when we all relaxed our vigilance and walked towards the gate, this sentence rang out without warning in the entire newspaper building! The voice was extremely loud and abrupt. Unprepared, I was so frightened by the voice that my eyes went black and my legs immediately became weak!
The office director was so frightened that he fell to the ground and screamed loudly. When Bai Longfei heard the sound, he immediately rushed over and blocked the office director's mouth. He turned his head and looked at me solemnly. I also stopped moving forward and listened carefully. Looking at the source of the voice, he wanted to see what the speaker wanted to do.
The sound echoed continuously in the empty first floor of the newspaper office. I couldn't tell where the source of the sound was. It was like a thousand-mile sound transmission in a martial arts movie, constantly interfering with my hearing.
We just waited quietly for each other to continue talking, but after a long time, the man's voice no longer appeared in the newspaper building. I cleared my throat slightly and asked loudly: "What game? Who are you?"
I immediately became nervous after I finished speaking. I was not afraid that the other party would say something shocking. I was just afraid that the other party would remain silent and plunge me into endless speculation.
After another ten seconds of silence, the voice finally came out again.
"It doesn't matter who I am, it doesn't matter what kind of game this is. In short, the way out of this newspaper building is hidden in the building. As long as you can find it, you can leave safely. If you can't find the way out before one o'clock in the morning , then I will detonate all the bombs in the building, and then no one of you will be able to escape. "
"During this period, I will selectively kill people according to my mood. The sooner you find a way out, the greater the chance of survival. Cherish your last time."
After the man finished speaking, he said nothing more. When others heard that this matter was related to their lives, they all panicked and asked the man many questions loudly. The entire newspaper building The sound that was filled with their quarrels suddenly became noisy, and the question I wanted to ask was never asked.
Bai Longfei asked me: "What's going on? Chainsaw? What do you mean by finding a way out? Does it mean we are asked to find a tunnel hidden in the newspaper building?"
Since that person finished speaking, I have been analyzing what that person said. Although it is only a simple sentence or two, there is a huge amount of information hidden in it.
First of all, that person's voice was exactly the same as the 'Midnight Sound' I received. Now it seems that the person who called me alone was not Zhou Jingyi. It must be the person in front of us who trapped us with bombs and even followed us. We who wear masks must also be this person.
We fell into the trap of this masked man from the beginning. He must have found Zhou Jingyi first and created a strange murder case for Zhou Jingyi, which made the police here mobilize a special case team to investigate. Then after we decided When we stayed at night, he quietly planted so many bombs to block our way out, playing what he called a game.
Although I cannot know the identity of this person, one thing is certain, he must know me or even understand me, otherwise he would not be able to know my phone number, and he has set the time at one o'clock in the morning from the beginning. That's why he told me that on the phone, which proves that he knows that I will definitely solve the case before one o'clock.
I thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it's a hidden tunnel or a back door. Otherwise, he would directly ask us to find an exit instead of a way out. There must be something else to this 'way out' I mean, it’s already eleven forty, and there’s still an hour and twenty minutes before one o’clock. We must find the way the man said to get out as soon as possible. Let’s go to other exits first.”
Bai Longfei nodded, turned around and asked the three security guards who were already panicking to lead the way, and took us to find other exits. The three security guards hurriedly got up and took us towards the other end of the corridor. It is said that there is a back door there, usually It's all locked up, they have the key, and they don't know if they can get out.
The security guards found a few flashlights from their security room and distributed them to us, and then led the way. Bai Longfei, Lin Yingxue and I were behind. After all, these people in front of us were in a state of high mental stress, so we still had to be on guard against them. Who knows? What kind of things will they do.
On the way, Bai Longfei asked me in a low voice: "Ji Wen, what if this road doesn't work?"
"It's not if, this road is definitely not feasible. I just want to make sure. If the murderer also planted a bomb here, then it goes without saying that there should be bombs in the windows on the second floor and everywhere that can leave the newspaper building. , we can only honestly find a way out of his mouth."
Bai Longfei suddenly smiled mysteriously and said: "Otherwise, you will take them to find a way out in a while, and I will quietly leave alone to find the person hiding in the dark, catch him, beat him up, and arrest him. Can’t we just leave?”
"Aren't you afraid of danger if you search alone? Besides, how should you search?"
Bai Longfei said proudly: "Don't worry, no one can hurt me unless the man named Taitan comes over! Just now you were all listening to what that man said, but I have been looking for the direction of that man's voice. The sound should be coming from the broadcasting equipment installed in the newspaper building. As long as I find where the control room of this broadcasting equipment is, I believe I can catch this person! "
What Bai Longfei said made sense, and I thought it was feasible, so I nodded and said, "Brother Long, be careful. Don't hold on if you encounter any danger."
"Same for you. I feel relieved that Lin Yingxue is here, but you have to be careful about the few people in front. Who knows if any of these people are accomplices of the person who just spoke."
After Bai Longfei and I reached an agreement, we continued walking forward. Soon we came to the end of the corridor. I shined a flashlight from a distance and saw a rusty iron door at the end of the corridor. , it seems that this iron gate should be the back door mentioned by the security guard, but when we found the iron gate, we also saw a black thing that was constantly flashing red light on the iron gate. Needless to say, this place was also occupied by that person. A bomb was planted.
Seeing the bomb on the iron gate, the security guard and office director who were walking at the front instantly became decadent. I sighed slightly, winked at Bai Longfei and told Bai Longfei to leave now, and then stepped forward to comfort them and persuade them. They went with me to find a way out.
But at this moment, one of the three security guards in front suddenly turned around and hit me with the flashlight in his hand! Since I discovered his motive from the beginning, I immediately turned sideways to avoid the attack of the flashlight, while the security guard took advantage of our daze to turn around and run towards the center of the dark corridor behind us!
