Although the temperature in the early morning was a little low, there were more than a dozen people gathered in this small room, and there was only one window for ventilation, but there was no ventilation, because the iron door at the door was locked, so the room was still stuffy.

Hou Xiaohua and Qin Zhen and other two or three girls who had calmed down were lying on the window and looking out. Facing the window is a closed inner courtyard, which is long and narrow, with a dilapidated and mottled concrete floor, and about a dozen meters away is a rusty iron fence. On the top of the fence, there are several parallel thin lines, and then look at the warning signs with lightning symbols at intervals on the iron fence, indicating that those thin lines should be the power grid. Beyond the iron fence was the mountain wall, overgrown with grass and dense trees, and it was too close to see the whole mountain.

This should be an abandoned factory or warehouse, with solid doors and windows, thick walls, and a dozen of them, no matter what, they can't even get out of this small room. It is estimated that shouting is useless, there is a barren mountain behind the window, and it can be estimated that this place must be very remote and inaccessible. In the other three directions, I don't know what the environment is.

There was also a sense of despair in the room, and Hou Xiaohua kept lying at the window. As the sky gradually brightened, I felt that my physical strength had recovered a little, but it was still empty, and I couldn't lift much strength, but it was not like at the beginning, when it was so soft that it seemed to have no bones. Staying at the window, it's not for nothing, when the room here is a little quiet, I can faintly hear the voice of Xi Xisuo from other places next to it, although it is not loud, listening to the movement, it should be that there are people trapped in other rooms next door, and they are in the same situation. The accents that can only be heard clearly occasionally are mostly girls, and I don't know if my brother Hou Xiaojin is also locked up here.

In the fresh morning air, on a wooded ridge, a tall young man in camouflage clothes and liberation shoes stood among the artemisia grass under the trees. There were also three men and one woman beside the camouflage youth, and standing next to him was a young man of moderate stature, dressed in navy blue casual clothes, with a delicate leather case wrapped in a stick-shaped object hanging from his back;

Huang Susu rarely wore a skirt today, and replaced it with a turquoise short-sleeved shirt and dark gray trousers. She stood beside Lin Chuyi, her expression was indifferent, her eyes were clear, and she looked down the mountain.

A Sven man and another stout man who had originally led the way were standing behind the three of them at this time. The costumes of the five people are very inconspicuous in the forest, and it is difficult for ordinary people to spot them from a distance.

Lin Li, a young man in camouflage, had a cold face at this time, his eyes were deep, and he looked at the abandoned factory building under the mountain. Leng Buding burst out and said, "What do you think?" Neither turned his head nor saluted, but everyone understood that he was asking Lin Chuyi.

Lin Chuyi didn't answer immediately, he turned his head and glanced at the Xuanmen beauty Huang Susu beside him, Huang Susu didn't make a sound, just turned his face slightly and nodded. They are all cultivators, and the mind is inductive, which is communication.

"It's not good, but it's not a big problem. Lin Chuyi whispered to the camouflage youth.

The camouflage youth finally turned his head slightly, looked at him, and said nothing, waiting for the next words.

Lin Chuyi continued: "The other party also has a master who is proficient in Qimen Mathematics, and the magic circle is arranged in that factory area. Judging from the rhythm of the qi in the formation, it is a formation in which the five qi of heaven and earth are intertwined, and it belongs to the ancient secret art. But I'm not proficient in this way, and the formation of feng shui layout can barely have some means of coping, and the only way for me to break through this kind of vicious battle formation is to break through and kill the formation directly. The premise of success is that the person who controls the formation pivot on the other side is not highly cultivated. ”

Lin Li then said: "Since it is not good, that is, judging from the current situation, the other party's cultivation is obviously not low?"

Lin Chu nodded and did not speak.

Lin Li's eyes were eager, still revealing a hint of fantasy, and he continued to ask, "How much higher?"

Lin Chu didn't answer, and looked at the Xuanwu beauties around him. Just looking at the formation qi machine, he knew that the opponent's cultivation was an opponent who was higher than his own, and of course he couldn't see the depth of the opponent.

Huang Susu said: "I think that if he comes, he will sneak attack when the other party is unprepared, relying on the interests of Tailing, or have a chance to lose both." The premise is that it is impossible to break the circle without the other party noticing. Even if the five of us with cultivation came together and could pass through the circle unscathed, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the people who set up the formation reasonably, provided that there were no other masters around the other party. ”

Lin Li's expression became a little gloomy. Lin Chu said: "Since the other party has arranged such a master to sit in charge, it is obviously a desperate situation. That strength should not be underestimated, in my opinion, the Dongguan case we want to investigate should be able to be directly concluded along this line, but the end is not here. ”

Lin Li's face turned slightly cloudy, "What do you say?"

Lin Chuyi: "Use the one I used to make an analysis for you in Beihai, do you want to make a number?"

Lin Li thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "I can call the shots in this case, as long as I can ensure the safety of the hostages, as long as it is a means that we can still use, it can be used as a basis for decision-making." ”

Lin Chu made up his mind, cleared his throat, and then said softly: "The whole physical event, all kinds of mechanisms, combined to get the mountains and rivers to lose the hexagram, and change into mountains and rivers. This group of young people, who have learned some lessons from the world, may not be a real loss. The real big picture that awaits them is not here. Here, inferred from the hexagrams, they will be bewitched by their minds from the predicament, and in today's words, it is brainwashing. The purpose of the other party, we don't know now, is obviously a terrible business. What is needed is not just a physical body, but a physical and mental cooperation. So until they were transferred to the right place, they were all right. ”

Lin Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was not accustomed to dragging mud and water, so he directly ordered: "Here, it is better to trouble Master Li * and Master Wushan Mo to take care of this place first, in case there is any movement of the other party, or there are signs of transfer, notify me immediately." We can go back to the office first and make a plan of action first. Manpower resources for operations must also be allocated in place. ”

Lin Chu nodded and said, "Yes, I will go to the office with you, but Su Su may have to go to another place first." When we prepare for action, we should also prepare two groups of people who can attack at the same time. And both lanes should have the strength to deal with the formation in front of them. ”

Lin Li understood Lin Chuyi's intentions, but his face was difficult.

Lin Chu knew the situation of this old brother, so he sighed and said, "On your side, just make sure that you have enough strength to deal with regular actions." I went to the event to see if I could find some friends in the rivers and lakes to help secretly. They may not be willing to contact the police, and when the time comes, it is good to ensure that the scene is controlled, can you explain the police officers involved in the operation in advance, and do not entangle with the people who are secretly helping. Don't embarrass them. ”

Lin Li's face softened slightly, and he nodded: "This is no problem, I will do it in advance." ”

A group of five people quietly descended the hill from the other side of the hill with their backs to the abandoned factory. Mo Yuanan and Li Wensheng, the two masters, are responsible for keeping an eye on the movements of the factory, so there is naturally no need to stay in this barren mountain and wilderness full of mosquitoes.

When the sky began to brighten, all the women in the small room were slowly recovering their physical strength, and the voices of the few who were not calm were already a little hoarse after a night of weak crying. Calm down, such as Hou Xiaohua and Qin Zhen, looking for an opportunity in front of the window, they panicked, but they also tried to calm down their minds a little, briefly discussed, and decided that as soon as the morning dawned, they began to call for help outside the window. If someone on the mountain hears about it, they may help call the police or come down to investigate.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning began to shine on the iron fence outside, and the warm colors were very bright. Today should be a good weather, Hou Xiaohua feels a little more hopeful, because she has been working for two years, and she knows that in the city, people like to go to the wilderness and mountains in such a day. She discussed it with Qin Zhen and Qin Jing, and decided to work in groups of two and take turns to call for help. At this time, from the window of another room, there were already sharp and chaotic shouts, all of them were girls.

I shouted once or twice, followed by "Bang...... Bang ......" a few muffled sounds, some first and some last. The shouts were no longer heard. Several girls were startled, and they didn't know what was going on, when a stout man appeared outside the window. The man had a cold face and a fierce look in his eyes, which they had never seen before. Before he could react, he saw that the man moved very fast, stretched out his hand and pulled it by the window, and an iron door slammed shut, and the window was suddenly dark.

Qin Jing stood for a moment, waited until he came back to his senses, and desperately slapped the iron door of the window, only to hear the sound of the lapping was very deep. This iron door is obviously double-layered hollow, and it is equipped with sealed edges, no matter how you slap and kick, the sound that can be transmitted is not loud.

Qin Jing slapped for a long time, and finally cried weakly, and sat down by the window. Hou Xiaohua and Qin Zhen watched silently, and the glimmer of hope that had just been gasped slammed shut with the window and door, falling into boundless darkness. But the room, which had finally calmed down a little, became noisy again. All kinds of crying and scolding voices are mixed together. The crying and scolding voices are mostly aimed at those acquaintances or relatives who they once trusted so much and didn't want to be so human-minded.

At this point, Hou Xiaohua finally understood the dangers and deceitfulness of the world, and the complexity and horror of people's hearts; some girls were actually deceived and betrayed by their very close relatives and friends, and even blood relatives of the clan, so that they ended up in today's situation. More often than not, like themselves, either just out of school, or dropped out of school from various remote areas to work. When I first set foot in the world, I thought that I would have good luck and meet a noble person as soon as I went out, and I was looking forward to a beautiful life at my fingertips.

At night, because the windows and doors are open, the air is fresh, and I feel a little better, but now the doors and windows are closed, and it is a sunny day in midsummer, and the room begins to become very gloomy and stuffy. Hou Xiaohua realized that under the fainting power of alcohol and medicine last night, if the window was not opened, I am afraid that everyone in this room may not be able to wake up. The other party deliberately opened the window for one night, probably so that their medicinal power dissipated and their bodies recovered.

In the dreary and noisy crowd, she talked with Qin Zhen, who was still relatively calm, for a long time, although the two were still panicked in their hearts, they had some consensus, that is, their lives should be safe, but what the other party would do with it, there were many speculations, all of which were very terrifying. There are all kinds of gossip rumors on the Internet, some about the sale of living organs, some of them were abducted to the wild mountains and fields to be sold to widows and lonely wives, and some of them were reduced to women in nightclubs.

Fear and depression are most contagious in the population. The girls' cries and scolding were noisy one after another, intensifying and boiling. I don't know how long it took, but probably everyone was tired and hungry, and they didn't fully recover from the alcohol and medicine last night, and all kinds of sorrow and hysterical voices slowly subsided, and finally fell silent. Occasionally, there were some faint sobs, and they were already very hoarse.

The girls leaned on their backs, leaning against the wall or on the floor, sweat and sour alcohol and a dull stuffiness filling the room. But now no one seems to have the heart to take care of this.

The iron door finally opened from the outside to the inside, and three men with majestic figures and powerful men appeared at the door. Between the room and the three men, there is still a steel barred iron gate.

All three men had the same indifferent expressions and fierce eyes. In one hand, he held a dog-legged machete with a wide blade, and it was very frightening. In the other hand, he was either carrying a plastic bag of dry food, or holding a box of more than 20 bottles of purified water.

Seeing this, the girls involuntarily retreated to the far corner of the room, and no one cared about being the first to speak. I am afraid that once I get the other party to notice me, I will become the first person to encounter accidents or some kind of abuse.

Fortunately, the knife-wielding man at the door did not speak, nor did he act out of the ordinary. One of them silently put down what he was holding, took out a large bunch of keys, picked one of them, and opened the iron fence through a hole for people to pass through. Holding a knife in one hand, the other hand still holding the fence handle, ready to close at any time. The other two men entered sideways, placing food and water on the floor of the room, along with a bag of dry food left by the man who opened the door.

Leaving something behind, the knife-wielding man still went out without saying a word. The two iron doors slammed shut again, and the room was dark and stuffy again. But after all, it's daytime, and after the eyes get used to it, they can still see things in the room with the slightest hint of light penetrating in.

In addition to the few mad machetes in the hands of the people who came just now, Hou Xiaohua still lingered in her mind about the large string of keys in the hands of the man who opened the door, which reminded her of the prison-themed movies and television that she had occasionally watched before. This place, even if it's not a real prison, but looking at the set of keys, I don't know how many girls who have been abducted and arrested like them have been locked up.

The Yunnan girl prayed silently in her heart, hoping that her brother was only arrested, and that she would not spoil other even worse misfortunes. At this time, she even felt that her brother was locked up like herself, or that he was lucky. Otherwise, God knows what would have happened to him.

The girls in the room were hot and tired, thirsty and hungry, and several of them opened the crate of pure water, took a bottle of pure water and drank it. There are also those who have a better heart, so they took a few more bottles and distributed them to a few women who were lying motionless in the corner, looking desperate and giving up on themselves.

As for the bag of dry food, no one touched it.
