The memory of s, in Xie Junai's heart, is as clear as a painting that will never fade.
He clearly remembered that the first time S said that sentence was in a dusk shrouded in twilight. A few of them, sitting in front of the bar of a bar. The bar is open, quiet and deserted. There is always a blood-like smell in the air.
At that time, r was standing behind the bar wiping glasses, and t was playing. And he was playing darts with a few people. s is still wearing a straight suit, but the shirt has two buttons loose, looking casual and gentle.
He was drinking high-purity absinthe, but his eyes were as clear as dawn and moonlight.
"Never blame yourself," he said. "The scariest thing in the world is not our few psychopaths, but the majority of normal people, and their desires."
Everyone was silent, but when they saw him pour another glass of wine, he said slowly: "It's just that we have lost the ability to hide our desires, they can hide it."
And since then, there have been many days and nights, when a thinks of his words, he is so sad that he can't restrain himself.
…
In a dimly lit room, the hustle and bustle of people in the square seemed to be close at hand.
aRaise your head and look at the camera in front of you. If someone in the square is watching carefully at this moment, they will be surprised to find him on the LCD screen, showing a sympathetic and self-deprecating smile.
He thought quietly by himself, so I'm not wrong and I'm not lying to you. It is not our group of seven who is about to kill you. Going back to the source is the darkest desire in the hearts of those among you.
The same goes for Han Chen, Su Mian, and Xu Sibai underground. Now, have you seen the filth of the human heart
So we are performing this century, just to let everyone understand this truth - psychopaths may be different from you, but the most terrible thing is not us.
it's yourselves.
…
Therefore, as a tribute to s.

"Be careful!" Su Mian shouted.
However it was too late.
Ji Zichang ran too fast, didn't pay attention to his feet, stepped into a puddle of water and splashed all over his body.
Han Chen has reached out and dragged him out. He smiled: "It's fine." He kicked his legs casually, shook off the muddy water, and then reached out and wiped his face. The result is probably because the hand just pressed against the wall, and instead painted a smear of black ash on the face. Ying Lang's face became dirty.
He didn't care, his eyes were fixed on the front, he raised his hand and pointed: "It should be there!"
Han Chen and Su Mian looked up at the same time.
At this moment, the three of them are at a remote construction site on the edge of the negative second floor. There are still dim lights overhead, and the corner of the wall ahead is full of building debris.
Probably after hearing their voices, someone behind the pile of debris really shouted anxiously and hoarsely: "Help! Help! I'm here..."
woman's voice.
"The construction of the load-bearing walls here has never been up to the standard." Ji Zichang explained, "If something goes wrong in the future, this place will definitely be one of the weakest links."
He and Han Chen rushed up and quickly pushed aside the debris. While Su Mian helped, she also took the only woman hostage in her mind to match the person in the previous video—the manager of the public relations department of the Peninsula Group, Chen Sulin.
Chen Sulin was quickly rescued.
Like Ji Zichang, she looks like a golden elite, but she is extremely embarrassed and weak at the moment.
"You are the police? Thank you!" She choked out with tears all over her face. Su Mian helped her, and she looked at Ji Zichang again: "Zichang, where are the rest of them? Where's Young Master?"
"It's not clear. We are trying to rescue." Ji Zichang replied.
His tone was a little light, and Su Mian looked up at him. Compared to his wholehearted cooperation with Han Chen and Su Mian, his attitude towards this lady Chen Sulin was obviously lukewarm.
Su Mian didn't say a word, and Han Chen didn't seem to see it either, looking straight at Ji Zichang: "Where is the other one?"
"The first floor, just below the central square. There is also a problem with the force of the building there." He answered calmly and forcefully. However, before she finished speaking, she saw Chen Sulin's expression changed slightly and she glanced at him.
Everyone knew what Chen Sulin was thinking. Han Chen and Ji Zichang ignored her and continued to run upstairs. Su Mian followed closely behind them and looked at Chen Sulin, who was following with a complicated and frightened expression, and thought it was ridiculous.
It's ridiculous.
Soon to the first floor. In front of it is an open business district, full of shelves, and there are several closed rooms beside the passage. Ji Zichang led them to the door of one of the storage rooms, reached out and knocked on the wall, looked up and said, "It should be around here."
At this moment, Han Chen said, "Check your watch, how many minutes are left?"
Su Mian and Ji Zichang looked down at the watch at the same time. Chen Sulin looked at them without her watch. Su Mian was wearing a mobile watch issued by the bureau. It was electronic, and the countdown showed that there were 4 minutes and 20 seconds left. After reading it, she looked up at Ji Zichang. He was clasping his hands against the wall, rolling up his sleeves and looking down. Although the back of his hand has some stains, his palm is fair and his nails are neat and clean. The watch is also as smooth as a mirror, and it is a very famous Swiss watch. The pattern on the dial looks extremely complicated and delicate, and it should be a complicated function watch. So he glanced at it and reported the exact time: "12:13:35."
Han Chen nodded: "There are 4 minutes and 15 seconds left."
The time was right, and the expressions of the three were all certain.
"Get out of the way." Han Chen said coldly.
Su Mian and Ji Zichang backed away at the same time, and Chen Sulin stood farther away and cautiously. Han Chen raised his long legs and kicked the door fiercely. The storage room opened in response.
"Ah—" With an exclamation, the young man who was tied up in the storage room raised his terrified face. Seeing them, I almost immediately showed an expression of ecstasy. And Chen Sulin immediately rushed to his side: "Yayao!" Ji Zichang also ran over and immediately released the rope for him: "Young Dong!"
The fourth hostage was rescued—the young director of Peninsula Group, He Yayao.
—
"What now?" Ji Zichang asked.
The five people stood at the door of the storage room on the first floor, Su Mian followed Han Chen, Chen Sulin supported He Yayao's arm, and Ji Zichang stood in the middle.
Han Chen looked at the three of them: "Meet the others first. Where can we go out?"
The three of them exchanged glances. He Yayao's emotions were relatively calm, he nodded and replied: "The mall is not officially open, and the ground exits are sealed, so I can't get out now. Only the negative three floors..." He paused: "There is an emergency elevator that can go straight to the ground. "
"Yes." Chen Sulin agreed.
Han Chen and Su Mian looked at Ji Zichang, and he nodded, "It's really only there that we can go out."
"Let's go." Han Chen and Su Mian were the first to turn around and go downstairs.
—
It's only been a minute or two.
Su Mian didn't know if they would make it to the exit in time, or if they could meet Xu Sibai and the others smoothly. She and Han Chen ran at the front, with the dark corner of the stairs ahead. Only the emergency lights in the corners illuminate the underground world in darkness. As soon as she looked up, she saw Han Chen's face.
And if he felt something, he turned to look at her.
In the darkness, both of them seemed to have words in their eyes.
The three were a few steps behind them, and Han Chen pulled her into his arms, turned a corner, and temporarily out of their sight.
"Watch them," he whispered. "Especially the man."
"Yeah." Su Mian replied softly. She had already noticed everything he said. In the dim light, she saw that his lips seemed to be dry due to lack of water, but his eyes were extremely dark.
The eyes of the two only met for a short time, and the three of them had already followed in a blink of an eye.
So he turned his eyes and moved on.
Soon it was down to the negative third floor.
According to the route they pointed, they had to go back the same way and run through an unfinished parking lot to reach the emergency elevator at the edge of the building.
only…
Su Mian looked up at the front.
If the hostages are rescued safely, what's next for the Seven
They used to use explosions, wax figures and heart-digging to create fear in the city. And this time, it is bound to bring even greater fear. To everyone on the peninsula, as well as to her and Han Chen.
Greater fear, what is it
The question hit her heart so directly. Like a ghost, a word suddenly popped into her mind.
The man said that the most terrifying thing in the world is not us psychopaths, but normal people, who hide their deepest hearts.
—
The two of them were on guard, but the three behind them had their own thoughts.
When they reached the corner, Chen Sulin glanced at He Yayao, and both of them saw the obscure darkness in each other's eyes. Then he looked at Ji Zichang at the same time. But Ji Zichang's expression changed and changed, and he remained silent.
In the minds of the three people, what came to mind at the same time was what the person said to them when they were kidnapped before.
They were blindfolded and could not see what the man looked like. Only his low, indifferent voice was heard.
He said: "We have no interest in whether you commit a crime, nor do we have any desire to punish you. Our target is those police officers. We just want them to feel that the people who they desperately saved have stabbed them in the backhand. What's it like.
In fact, if we don't say it, you will do the same, right? These police officers are just being selfless, and they can't be bought. Once they return to the ground, your project will be revealed to the world. And you, I'm afraid you'll be put in jail. Do people like you want to die or go to jail
By killing them, you will have a future, and you will be able to cover up this matter. This underground mall is all under my control, and only by killing them will I give you a chance to live. "
…
Chen Sulin looked at He Yayao urgingly. Her position is very clear: there are only two people on the other side. Although they have guns, but they are not prepared, they still have a chance of winning, and they have no other way out.
He Yayao pondered for a moment, his eyes became decisive, and nodded, indicating that she would look for opportunities. The two once again looked at Ji Zichang, who had never made a statement.
Ji Zichang's eyes were a little stubborn, and he looked at his boss stubbornly, obviously not agreeing to do so. But obviously this is not the first time He Yayao has imposed his will on him, nor is it the first time he has given up his principles. After the two looked at each other for a while, Ji Zichang showed a somewhat stiff look, which was considered a tacit consent.
Alliance reached.
Chen Sulin and He Yayao took two steps forward and followed closely. And Ji Zichang was at the end, with a depressed expression on his face.
After a while, while they were not paying attention, Ji Zichang suddenly raised his head and looked at the ceiling not far away.
In the dark corner, there is a small camera. And facing the camera, he suddenly showed a creepy smile.
