Ye Zeqing was only one meter away from the shadow outside the door. He was stunned for a while, and then he chose to stop his pace quite neatly.
No matter how battle-hardened it is, it's a normal human response to the fear of the unknown.
But Xiao Li seemed to have no such fear at all. He only paused for 0.01 seconds, and was still surprised by the sudden appearance of a black shadow, and then he opened the door in front of him without hesitation. Hesitantly walked out of the escape route.
Before the door was completely closed, Ye Zeqing followed him closely.
Xiao Li's speed was already very fast, but the shadow was even faster. In the blink of an eye, it floated out of the door of the office building, completely submerging into the darkness.
This picture is actually a very mysterious thing to describe, but for some reason, Ye Zeqing stood behind, always feeling that the back revealed a faint panic.
Xiao Li paused, stood still, and did not choose to chase the shadow.
"The direction it ran... It seems to be Pavilion R?" Fu Guangbo said hesitantly, analyzing the direction of the shadow running away in his mind.
Now that they have completed the patrol mission of the office building, it is not too late. There is still half an hour before midnight. If they want to go to the exhibition hall, this is the best time.
Chen Jinghan looked at Xiao Li and asked for his opinion: "Will you go?"
Fu Guangbo also gave up the idea of leaving Hercule at this time, and decided to put his life as the most important thing. Following the boss, he dared to enter the tiger's den of Longtan.
Under the scorching eyes of the reincarnators, Xiao Li struggled for three seconds, then shook his head and said, "... not going."
"Really not going?" Ye Zeqing and Zheng Yi said in unison. They realized this and looked at each other for a while, and then distanced each other with some disgust. Zheng Yi immediately asked again, "Why?"
Xiao Li's eyes drifted to the towering corner of the wall again, and after thinking for a while, he slowly said, "The sound of the water... is still going on."
"The sound of water, is this a code?" Zheng Yi asked when he didn't understand.
Fu Guangbo stood beside him with a curious expression. He didn't understand either, but he was embarrassed to ask because he was not familiar with Hercules.
Xiao Li didn't want to explain much, there was no reason for him, there were too many explanations, and he was too lazy to say it.
But it was Zheng Yi who asked this question, Xiao Li thought about how he had come all the way to talk to him, and after a moment of indifference, he still tried to speak as briefly as possible: "In an ordinary office building, the water pipes at night won't last forever. Makes a sound and doesn't keep the mixture pounding against the wall of the water pipe."
Although the sound was faint, it continued to exist.
This is not common sense.
"The office circuit has been cut off, but the elevator is left, although it can also be regarded as a convenient employee," Xiao Li said while distracting a part of his mind and continued to listen to the movement of the water pipe, and walked in the direction leading to the logistics office. " But if you think about it another way, would it be intentional for us to take this elevator and ignore the stairs and also ignore these sounds.”
The stairwell is very, very quiet, there are no appliances that make noise, and the walls of the building are thin, making it easier to hear the sound of running water than in the office.
When Zhang Kaixue heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "But how did he know that we took the elevator? Most people would want to take the stairs at this time... Maybe the elevator is just running all the time."
Soon, she realized that what she said sounded like a connotation of Xiao Li, and immediately defended: "It didn't mean that you were not an ordinary person."
... Why does it seem to be getting darker and darker.
Zhang Kaixue opened his mouth to defend himself, but found that Xiao Li on the other side didn't care at all. He directly continued: "If it's just this matter, it may be an illusion, but in addition to what that person said to me in the afternoon..."
"Who? The one across from Mr. Sun?" Zheng Yi recalled for a while, and immediately followed the boss's thinking, "You mean he told you not to go to the exhibition hall?"
Xiao Li gave a "um" and tried to answer as concisely as possible: "If he knows me well, he knows my character. He told me not to go, but in fact he told me to go, then everything can be explained."
"He turned off the power and drove the elevator because he knew I was going to take the elevator up to avoid the clues."
"But, but how does he know you so well? You know him? Doesn't Mr. Sun even know that you tortured those ghosts in the exhibition hall?" Fu Guangbo finally couldn't help but come over and ask the truth.
Xiao Li suddenly stopped, he looked at the crowd, and dropped a bomb with a calm expression: "Mr. Sun doesn't know it's me, because he's from this world."
Zheng Yi opened his mouth: "...I think you seem to be implying something?"
"And that person should be the same as us." Xiao Li glanced at Zheng Yi and said, "Reincarnation, he has used some kind of prop, or he has long been in contact with President Sun, and he has the right to see the forum. ."
"He doesn't need to know who I am, he just needs to understand the current situation of the pavilion, make assumptions, and roughly know my character."
Sherlock, Moriarty, Hercule.
Even the top reincarnators on the global reincarnation leaderboard, Wang Huai, Moss, DoctorX…
Except for a few oddballs—such as a certain steady man known as a "walking tower"—which of these bigwigs is not this type of person
Once the personalities of these people are known and their responses to a crisis are simulated, this arrangement is not difficult to understand.
Fu Guangbo recalled incredulously the actions of the man opposite President Sun. Is he a reincarnator? But it shouldn't.
After a long while, he recovered his voice: "Then why did President Sun want us to patrol the office building? Why don't we go to the exhibition hall again, or just sleep at home?"
"It's very simple," Xiao Li sighed deeply in his heart, feeling desolate for his teammates' IQ, he looked at the ceiling speechlessly, and continued to walk forward, "They don't have any more night halls, even if the halls If it can be repaired, the ghosts inside are hard to find."
"Also, even if I add some little devils to the exhibition hall to seduce me like this, it will only take a while. After losing the exhibition hall as the goal, it is easy to think of the office building as a reminder of how to survive."
When Zhang Kaixue listened to his description, four words appeared inexplicably in his mind:
God, fairy, fight, fight!
Four more words:
Separate, empty, cross, front!
One more sentence:
You predicted me, and I predicted your prediction.
You think I'm on the first floor, but I'm actually on the fifth floor!
"Instead of being passive like this, it's better to take the initiative to let me drill. Besides, the top floor is the place with the least noise from water pipes, at least nothing above it will fall." Xiao Li tilted his head, as if he could hear the sound of running water. "If you think about it this way, you're a smart person."
Being able to have friendship with President Sun in such a place, and it seems that he did not come here once or twice.
Fu Guangbo, who has been asking questions: "..."
Always felt that Hercule was connoting him.
Xiao Li suddenly looked at him again at this time: "Also, I want to correct a little, I didn't torture those ghosts, I just..."
"I'm making friends with them." He paused, then said.
This must be corrected. Xiao Li felt that he was not a devil and had no hobby of torturing ghosts.
Fu Guangbo: "..."
Yes, yes, and teach them to be ghosts by the way, right
Zheng Yi didn't have as many ideas as Fu Guangbo, or he was used to it. He nodded and quickly accepted the setting: "He just wanted to hide the sound of the water pipes here? What are they transporting?"
At this point of the discussion, other people approached the wall more or less, wanting to hear the sound of the water being transported by the water pipe. Zheng Yi even expanded his palm into a trumpet shape and placed it next to his ear, intending to amplify his hearing.
Xiao Li: "I don't know, but it needs to be transported by water pipes late at night... Probably not many things can be put in."
"A corpse?" Ye Zeqing used his imagination, but quickly corrected himself, "Or a corpse..."
The wreckage of the security guards who have died in the exhibition hall over the years may have been transferred to the roof of this office building, processed into corpses, and then transported to somewhere through drainage pipes.
Xiao Li said to himself in a relaxed tone: "I probably know who is tied to me here."
The style is quite familiar.
Ye Zeqing followed his train of thought for a while, but was not sure: "Who is it?"
Xiao Li didn't answer him, he leaned against the wall again.
In the future park, the office building is divided into two areas, it is more like a building complex.
Among them, Mr. Sun’s office is located in a high-rise building, the core of the building, and the spacious passage on the first floor of the office leads to another arched three-story building. The reincarnators there are no strangers to the logistics office and the security dormitory.
The deeper place is the cafeteria and the basement. They explored it during the day, but because the reincarnations all focused their attention and thinking on the exhibition hall, they did not go deep here.
Now, following the sound of running water in the water pipe, everyone has returned here.
Originally, Fu Guangbo was still holding a flashlight, but Xiao Li asked him to turn off the light source halfway through.
It's not that I'm afraid of attracting some monsters, it's mainly because the vision is cut off, and the other four senses will be more sensitive.
Blind people's hearing is usually better than ordinary people, but most people can't achieve the determination of a strong man to break his wrist.
Although Fu Guangbo did it immediately without hesitation, he was still a little discouraged. After all, the darkness in the dungeon world could breed danger at any time.
But soon, just as Xiao Li said, under the condition of deliberately high concentration of mental power, the sound seemed to be really amplified, and it flowed into the ears of the reincarnators.
"Tick, tick, tick, bang, tick, bang..."
Fu Guangbo had no time to think about whether there might be ghosts in front of him, he listened intently to the sound of the water pipe, and followed Xiao Li in front of him to go deeper.
After half an hour, the voices in everyone's ears changed to:
"Boom, boom, boom."
No longer the sound of water pipes, but some kind of bigger, fuller container.
