Chapter 35: Under the Gentleman's Disguise
"This ...... Where is ......?"
Twilight gradually woke up, her head was dizzy, she wanted to speak but couldn't open her mouth at all, she stopped struggling, and consciously let more air pour into her lungs with each breath.
Sure enough, within a moment, Twilight regained all consciousness and her head cleared, and she tried to open her eyes, but all she saw was darkness, presumably blindfolded by something.
She struggled to remember what had happened before she lost consciousness.
On the fourth district and sixth street, when she was about to flee in a car, she was caught by the man in the suit called Adjo, and then she was forced to get into Bert's car, and then what about it...... Twilight couldn't remember it, as if she had been injected with some kind of drug, and fell asleep.
Because she didn't know the situation around her, she didn't dare to act rashly, so she controlled her hands and feet as little as possible.
Fortunately, consciousness has also returned.
But when she tried to control her arms and legs again, she felt a strong sense of restraint, and Twilight calmly felt that her legs were fixed together, but they were not bound to other things, but the entire upper body was firmly fixed with the back of the chair, and her hands were crossed and tied behind her back.
Twilight found that her current position was very uncomfortable, her whole head was tilted back, and her neck was sore and sore, but in order not to be discovered, she had woken up, so she could only continue to maintain this movement.
She listened carefully to the sounds around her, and there was a sound of footsteps that were not really heard, as if they were coming from outside, but the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and then there was a "squeak-" door, and it seemed that a group of people had entered, and there were footsteps in the room in the direction of the door.
"There were about four people coming in. Twilight thought to herself, "The whole space is about ...... About eighty to one hundred square meters, there are very few things in the room...... The ceiling is very high......"
Twilight speculated on the subtle sounds of footsteps bouncing off the walls, but she wasn't sure if that was accurate, as she could barely remember the last time she had deduced the size of a room from sound.
After a while, the sound of the door opening sounded again, but this time the sound seemed to come from the other direction, and with the sound of the door, two very distinct footsteps sounded, one with a firm step, and the other with a faltering step, no need to guess, this must be Bert and that Ah Zhuo, and now they come in and don't know what tricks to do.
"Video. ”
With Bert's order, the voices in the room became messy again, and Twilight only felt a man holding a gun to her head, but the process didn't last long.
When everything was calm again, Bert dialed the phone in the room.
"Reassured?" said Bert to the person on the other end of the phone, "I didn't hurt her, I just injected her with a little 'sleep' medicine for safety, I think she should be awake when you arrive, but I warn you again, if you don't come on time, or don't bring the person I want, I'm afraid you'll have to wait to collect the body."
"Who could this be? "Judging from Bert's purpose, the person on the other side of the phone is probably Morin...... If the plane was on time, they would have disembarked at about two o'clock...... The airport is an hour and a half drive from home...... It's about four o'clock in the morning......"
After a series of analyses, Twilight listened carefully to Bert's voice, hoping to hear any more clues.
"Isn't it time for her to wake up?" asked Bert
"If you look at the time, the effect of the medicine is almost over, do you need to give her another potion now?"
"No need, I'll wait here for her to wake up and have a few words with her, so as not to be bored. ”
Before she could finish speaking, Twilight felt Bert's footsteps get closer and closer, and finally stopped beside her, and reached out to untie the black cloth that covered her eyes.
"Miss Shi, wake up, if you don't open your eyes now, I'm afraid I'll have to order someone to pour a basin of cold water on your head. ”
Twilight hooked the corners of her mouth and snorted softly, intending to sit up straight, but the pain in her neck made her try several times before she succeeded, it felt as uncomfortable as a stiff neck, and her eyes may have been blindfolded for too long, and she was really not used to seeing so much light at once.
"What else do you want to say. Shi Duluo sneered, "I think you don't look like you're here to invite me to tea." ”
Once accustomed to the light, Twilight quickly observes its surroundings.
The whole space seems to be about eighty square meters, the walls and floors are cement, they have not been decorated at all, there are two iron doors on her left and right front, which look very solid, the room has no windows, I don't know what the scene will be outside, there are four people standing behind them, and only Bert and Azhuo are in front of them.
"Where the hell is this ......" Twilight quickly put together what she already knew, "Warehouse, bomb shelter, or...... It's in a certain house. ”
The first two scenarios seemed unlikely, and Twilight quickly ruled them out, so she should be in the same house now, but where is she in this house......
Since Bert is the boss of everyone, the place where he will appear must be safe, and the consideration factor is not only to prevent outsiders from entering, but also that once someone comes in, he can escape, and the two doors in the room have been entered and exited, indicating that these two doors must be connected to other rooms or passages that are convenient for evacuation, and it is unlikely to be a small closed space such as a toilet or a cloakroom.
Although security is the key issue to be considered in the design of the house, aesthetics is also equally important, according to this size, how to say that it is also a master living room or master bedroom location, this position has given up the window, it really makes some sense, since this is the case, then this space is very likely to ......
"Yes...... ......"Twilight shuddered when she thought of this, and a lot of bad memories poured into her brain, and she couldn't get rid of it.
"Oops...... Am I shaking......" Twilight forced her to take a deep breath to adjust, but to no avail, her teeth chattered slightly, and her whole body shook slightly.
Eventually, this state was controlled by Twilight, and fortunately, this little episode was not noticed by Bert and his men.
"Don't be surprised, I'm here for the sake of safety, after all, I've seen your skills in District 4 today, in case you run away, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch you again." Bert walked around Twilight and said, "I've contacted your father Morin, and at seven o'clock tonight, I'll ask him to bring that killer in exchange for you." ”
"He may come, but he will never bring the person you want to meet. Twilight no longer pretended to be polite, and said contemptuously.
"You seem to know a lot of things. With his wrinkled hand, Bert lifted her chin and forced her to look up.
Twilight kept smiling and silent, raising her eyebrows and sharpening her eyes.
Bert stopped entanglement, let go of his hand, distanced himself from Twilight, looked the girl up and down carefully, and spoke slowly.
"You don't look like a normal girl. ”
"That depends on what you define as ordinary. ”
"When you were in the Fourth District, you were able to single-handedly get rid of the fourteen subordinates I sent to follow you, and now you are tied to a chair and guarded by so many fierce-looking people, if the ordinary girl is probably already frightened, she may still cry and beg me for mercy. ”
"This can only show that I am better at analyzing the situation than ordinary girls, even if I beg for mercy, you will not let me go now, then this move is meaningless, I am an efficient person, since I am useless to myself, then why waste time to satisfy your vanity. Twilight deliberately accentuated the words vanity, as if provocative.
"Then if I say that if you ask me for mercy, I will let you go. ”
For some reason, a sense of frustration rose in Bert's heart in the face of Twilight's calmness, which made him feel angry.
"No, you don't at all. Twilight hooked half of the corners of her mouth and said firmly.
Bert laughed, turned around and pulled out a pistol from the waist of Azhuo, who was standing behind him, and pointed it straight at Twilight, he wanted to see how bold this girl was, he even made up the frightened look of Twilight in his head, he wanted to completely shatter her haughty look.
"I don't believe you're not afraid of anything. ”
The muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at Twilight's head, but Twilight was still fearless, looking at Bert holding the gun with an indifferent face, and the two faced each other silently, neither of them wanted to lose to the other in momentum.
Eventually, Twilight shook her head and smiled, "This rifling is so beautiful, I think you're tired too, it's time to put it away." ”
The expected scene did not happen, which made Bert even more annoyed, but there was nothing he could do, he handed the gun to Azhuo, and pulled Twilight's hair so hard that the muscles in his face trembled.
"Why aren't you afraid of me!"
"Because I know that you will not shoot at all, and if you want to achieve your goal, you must guarantee that I will be alive, and Morin will definitely confirm my condition to you again before he comes, and it is very likely that I will be able to speak to him personally, otherwise you will definitely not have to talk, I am dead, do you think you will be better?"
Twilight's words were like a bowl of oil, pouring directly on Bert's anger, which made Bert slap Twilight in the face with a wave of his hand.
"Don't think that if I don't kill you now, you won't die!" Bert said through gritted teeth, "When Merlin brings the people I want, I'll kill them in front of you and send you on my way!"
"I know. Twilight was not afraid to laugh, her fair skin contrasting with the reddened handprints on her face.
"Know what?"
"Knowing that you were lying to me when you said you would release people from the beginning, a bastard like you has no credibility at all. ”
Bert was speechless for a while, but after a pause, he shouted as he pointed at his nose,
"Didn't you say that you are efficient in doing things, and what good will it do you to provoke me!"
Shi Duluo raised his head, revealing eight neat Hao teeth, raised his eyebrows, and said softly:
"I, ah, happy. ”
"Zhuo, it's time for her to sleep for a while!" Bert slammed the door angrily, and after hearing the order, Zhuo immediately took out a tin box from the inside pocket of his suit, which contained a syringe that had been filled with potion.
"Can you tell me what kind of medicine this is?" asked Twilight with an expressionless face, and when she saw that Ah Zhuo didn't reply, she just thought she was bored.
Azhuo reached out and pressed Twilight's head, and the needle plunged directly into his neck, Twilight was so quiet that she let people slaughter him, without any resistance, and she could even feel the subtle sensation of the liquid being slowly injected into her body.
A heavy drowsiness followed, and she tried to stay awake, but to no avail, and in the end, in a blurred vision, she could only watch as Azhuo chased in the direction Bert had left.
