In the late autumn of September, the sky is cool and chilling.
Whether it is inside the Haida campus or within a kilometer outside the campus, there are brightly lit lights everywhere, as if it is daytime.
only-
Not all darkness can be lit, night is night after all, darkness is its original appearance, just like classified people, those who understand killers are usually also killers.
Under the night, a shadow that could no longer tell whether it was a human or a ghost arrived at the campus of Jinhai University at a very high speed. This shadow really looked more like a ghost than a human, because every time he landed in the dark depths where the light could not shine. And every time he left the darkness, that is, when he disappeared, there was no shadow, no sound, nothing, as if he had never been in the light.
After this shadow flashed about a dozen times within a distance of one kilometer, a gust of wind blew and knocked off a few leaves of a certain banyan tree in the Haida campus. When the leaves fell to the ground, a tree suddenly appeared. people-
The black baseball cap is pressed down very low, the black mask covers half of the face, the black windbreaker, black pants, black shoes, and a pair of black gloves, except for the strange red flashes in the black eyes. Apart from the light, this person has almost completely merged into the darkness—
Liu Yanbo.
A man better suited to live in the dark, for he is darkness.
Haida University covers an area of about 2.44 million square meters, with a construction area of about 2 million square meters, and now the lights in every building here are on. Find where the gangsters are hiding.
Liu Yanbo is not a ghost, it is impossible for him to search the entire Haida campus in about two hours, which is the main reason why he took the risk of being suspected to find Pan Yuyi.
On the banyan tree, Liu Yanbo did not rush to the library where the hostages were held. He closed his eyes, held his breath, and listened quietly to the movements around him—
There is the sound of wind, the sound of falling leaves and grass, and the singing of insects and birds...
After making sure that there were no other living people within tens of meters, Liu Yanbo slowly opened his eyes and disappeared on the banyan tree. When he reappeared, he was already in the shadow behind a rockery.
Disappear... Appear... Disappear...
After touching for about ten minutes, Liu Yanbo was already in that library when he reappeared. His most important task now is to make sure his guess is correct.
If the hostages were indeed separated, the rescue would be much more difficult.
It was probably due to the shortage of gangsters. Except for the screening room on the second floor, Liu Yanbo basically looked through the entire library, but he didn't even see a single person.
There are no gangsters guarding the entrance of the screening room. This is good news and bad news.
The good news is that Liu Yanbo can easily approach there, but the bad news is that it really looks more and more like a trap, or a bait.
There is only one door for people to enter and exit the projection room, but there is a transom on the door.
Liu Yanbo was like a gecko, his whole body stuck to the ceiling, looking at the situation inside the projection room through the transom.
He did guess right—
There were only thirty or forty students detained in this projection room, and there were only six criminals guarding them.
Liu Yanbo didn't break in, but he didn't leave immediately to find where the other hostages were held.
The sound insulation effect of this projection room is very good, but there is still a gap in the door after all. Liu Yanbo's hearing is excellent. After lying on the ceiling for about two minutes, he heard a pattern. It will ring once every five seconds, and it will ring seven times in total, and each time it rings, a different person is reporting "safety".
The intercom rang seven times, which meant that there were at least seven groups of people hiding in different locations. Including the six gangsters in this projection room as one group, there were eight groups in total.
Liu Yanbo glanced at his watch to confirm the time.
It is now 10:33 in the evening, less than one and a half hours before the four hours that Hai City officials agreed with the gangsters, and he knew that he had to find the twenty-five gangsters who had been divided into eight groups as soon as possible. .
According to Pan Yuyi's information, the positions of five of the eight groups of people have been determined, and it is only necessary to find the other three groups of people.
Fortunately—
Liu Yanbo's ability to track and find people has always been good. After about twenty minutes, he found the other three groups of people one by one.
There is a lotus pond behind the library, and there is a birch forest on the left side of the lotus pond. A two-person team hid in a pavilion in this forest, with two bound hands and feet gagged hostages.
There is a small auditorium about 30 meters south of the birch forest, and there are seven gangsters guarding most of the remaining hostages. Lin Xue was detained here.
Twenty meters away from the auditorium, there is a five-story teaching building. On the roof there is also a two-person team lying on its stomach, also with two hostages.
…
There are twelve people in the six two-person teams, and there are six gangsters and seven gangsters in the two hostage places, that is, thirteen guards.
Twenty-five gangsters have been found, and Liu Yanbo knows that it is time for him to prepare to act.
Out of selfishness, Liu Yanbo decided to take that small auditorium as his first target.
It was probably for the convenience of the six two-person teams hidden outdoors. Although all the buildings in the school were lit, the street lights in the campus were not lit. This made it easier for Liu Yanbo to move. many.
Under the cover of the night, Liu Yanbo once again found the small auditorium where Lin Xue was imprisoned.
Liu Yanbo huddled his body in the gutter in front of the auditorium. Before he acted, he had to ensure that everything would develop in the direction he expected, and no mistakes were allowed.
In September, the weather has already turned cold.
The water in the ditch was also very cold, and the smell was not very pleasant, but Liu Yanbo just lay there motionless, letting the cold running water wet his clothes and sting his skin...
He was waiting, waiting for the people in the auditorium to say that sentence in English: safety. At the same time he was doing the final calculations.
If the gangsters in the auditorium are numbered as the first group, then the two snipers lying on the fifth floor of the building are the second group, the ones in the birch forest are the third group... and the ones in the projection room are the eighth group.
The gangsters start from the first group and end at the eighth group. It takes at least forty seconds for this round. From the eighth group to the end of the first group, this is another round, still about forty seconds...
This method is very meticulous, but it is also the biggest flaw, because it is too regular.
According to this reporting method, after the gangsters in the first group reported safety once, they had to wait at least 80 seconds before it was their turn to report for the second time. However, it is not without benefits for them to report safety in this regular order. For example, after the seventh group has reported, it will be the eighth group, and after the eighth group has reported, it will be the seventh group. That is to say, when solving these two groups , must be completed within ten seconds, once it exceeds, all the hostages in the screening room will die.
The distance between the seventh group and the eighth group is the closest, the horizontal distance is only about ten meters, but these two groups also live in two different buildings, one group is on the second floor of the library, and the other group is on the other side. On the fifteenth floor of a building, the time to solve these two groups is the shortest, but the difficulty is the most—
Ten seconds determine success or failure. (to be continued)
