Chapter 13: The Colosseum of Death
When you wrestle with the devil, beware of becoming a devil yourself.
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you.
- Nietzsche
It was getting closer and closer, and the loud noises just now came from behind the last wine rack in front of me.
The two stopped, and Feng Chun slowly leaned forward.
Zhao Yajun looked at the back in front of him who kept trembling and groping forward, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
If there was no hateful hungry wolf going down the mountain to catch sheep, if there was no old grandson's words, if Ding Yong had no sense of responsibility, if he didn't do it, if there was no heavy snow, if ......
Since the age of 13, the only meaning of my life is to live.
The humble, the one who lives for the rest of his life.
Strangely, at this moment he seems to have lost the nerve of fear again, just like 36 years ago, when he went to find the corpse of a wolf by himself:
Walking on a road that is not far away, looking at the uncertain life and death ahead.
He calmed down again......
Zhao Yajun patted Feng Chun's shoulder in front of him, trying to comfort the person who was in fear.
Feng Chun looked back at Zhao Yajun, this expression, this look ......
It was exactly the same as the state I saw in the tent that night, distorted to a terrible appearance.
The murderous Feng Chun, the reason why he was trembling at the moment was not nervousness, but excitement.
…………
Feng Chun grabbed a bottle of red wine beside him, and after leaning out most of his body, he suddenly accelerated, and slammed into the back of the wine rack where the sound source was.
There was no one here, just a red loudspeaker plugged into a USB stick while it was playing.
The sound of "bang...... "bang" was the same as before, and once again came from this loudspeaker.
I was teased by the murderer again.
Feng Chun picked up the megaphone, his eyes sharp and as if he was contemplative, it was obvious that Feng Chun had begun to sort out clues again.
The rag doll cried, and the murderer came out of the underground cellar or the second floor, poisoned Li Kun's liquor, and then hid it, and this process did not take much time. If he chooses to go back to the second floor, he will have to take a huge risk, and if he is discovered, he will have a chance of winning against four.
Apparently going back to the second floor is unlikely.
Then if he went back to the underground cellar, why did he deliberately make noise. Moreover, the structure of this wine cellar is simple and well-lit, so it is easy to find if you hide a person.
Feng Chun touched the wall behind him with his hand, and listened to it for a while.
To be sure, there is no other outlet for this cellar.
"Look at the paintings on this wall, I feel a little strange," Zhao Yajun reminded.
Feng Chun looked up and saw that there was indeed a painting hanging on the wall, and the frame of the picture was exactly the same as the one he saw on the second floor.
The content of the painting is still Venus with arms, but this time she is closing her eyes and crying, and her body is only a skeleton, the skeleton of Bai Sensen......
Feng Chun felt as if he had been electrocuted, and he recalled the painting upstairs, in which the man was holding a shotgun.
Shotgun, bone, shotgun, bone......
Suddenly, Feng Chun grabbed Zhao Yajun's shoulders with both hands as if he was crazy, his eyes revealed extreme fear, and asked:
"When the four of us went up to the second floor just now, who was in front of you and who was behind you?"
Zhao Yajun closed his eyes and tried his best to recall.
"The person in front of me is Li Kun, and the person behind me is ...... It's Zhang Fa. Zhao Yajun opened his eyes and said firmly.
"It's not good, runner-up, run, turn around and run, hurry!" Feng Chun shouted.
Zhao Yajun knew that Feng Chun must have understood something, so he didn't ask much, turned his head and ran, Feng Chun followed closely behind.
What a familiar scene, and the person who shouted this sentence last time was Ding Yong.
The two of them ran wildly towards the exit, knocking over the wine racks on either side, and they fell one after the other like tarot cards.
Countless red wines fell to the ground and shattered.
At this moment, under the feet of the two of them, there were strands of blood-red wine.
Zhao Yajun ran to the insulated glass door and pushed and pulled the doorknob in front of him hard, but he couldn't open it at all.
The door was locked outside.
Zhao Yajun motioned for Feng Chun to lean back to make some space for himself, only to see him take a few steps back, suddenly accelerated, and rushed towards the glass door in front of him......
After a desperate muffled sound of "dong ......", Zhao Yajun was bounced to the ground, clutching his shoulders and grinning in pain......
Feng Chun hurriedly stepped over Zhao Yajun on the ground and went to the door to check, he couldn't help but gasp, this glass door didn't even have the slightest crack.
Feng Chun was like crazy, picked up the wine bottle on the ground and smashed it towards the door in front of him.
One, two, three......
"Save your effort, this is bulletproof glass......" Zhao Yajun covered his shoulders, stood up and asked, "Who is going to trap us in this underground wine cellar?"
"It's Zhang Fa, the people who intimidate us, the people who invited us here, the people who brought us to this deserted place, the people who killed Li Kun......" Feng Chun raised his head, stared at the cold light source directly above, and said in despair: "It's all Zhang Fa'......"
"This ...... This can't be, why did he do this to us, there must be a reason!" Zhao Yajun shook his head and said.
Feng Chun said word by word: "He first used the cry of the hidden window hitting the rag doll to attract our attention. As we went upstairs, he walked at the back and put the prepared potassium cyanide into Li Kun's wine glass. After Li Kun was poisoned and died, he took advantage of the opportunity when we went upstairs to search for clues, came to this underground wine cellar, turned on the loudspeaker, and pretended to be asleep as if nothing happened. I guess what is stored on the USB flash drive must be the sound of a wine bottle shattering at a set interval. He decided that if I knew there was a floor underground, I would have overturned all previous suspicions, if only one person could go upstairs and continue to check the other rooms......"
"Then it must be a relatively burly Zhang Fa ......," Zhao Yajun continued.
"Hmm......" Feng Chun closed his eyes, frustration, solid frustration.
It turned out that he had been led by Zhang Fa by the nose, this person was simply unfathomable and terrifying......
"Papapa......" From the gloomy staircase outside the glass door, a pair of hands suddenly appeared, clapping incessantly.
"Well said!" the man who was hiding in the shadows walked slowly towards the door, and the outline gradually became clear, and sure enough, it was Zhang Fa. "Congratulations, you guessed it right, hahahaha......"
Zhang Fa grabbed his hair with his right hand, bent down, stared at the other side of the glass door, and laughed loudly.
The eyes, like watching gorillas in a zoo, reveal curiosity and contempt......
"This is the Colosseum I have prepared for you, do you like it, and you can fight with all your might, for only one of you will make it out alive. Zhang Fa said with a smile, that smile was too weird, at this time, Zhang Fa under the cold light was like a ghost crawling out of hell......
"Why do you want to do this to us!" Zhao Yajun rushed forward and shouted with his hands attached to the glass door.
"Because ah......" Zhang Fa said, slowly walking towards Zhao Yajun, the tip of his nose lightly pressed against the door glass, and gently sighed a few times, the temperature difference between inside and outside made a thin mist appear on the glass door.
Zhang Fa used his fingers to play in the mist for a while, laughed, and turned to leave......
A few big words appeared on the door:
"I want to eat human flesh again."
