Chapter 55: The Eighteenth Hidden Underground Floor

Wei Kang came to Xiaofeng Villa, where Nie Kang lived, and learned about the situation:

Sure enough, according to Nie Kang's informant, the guy they were following called Pipeline had entered a speakeasy called Hell Gate three times a week on the big night.

Hell Gate Bar, on the outside, is just a bungalow, but there are eighteen floors down from the ground, it is the most lively entertainment place in the city, hotels, dance halls, billiards, chess and cards, shops, game halls, baths and massages, everything, due to the large number of people, there are three elevators as a means of transportation up and down the stairs, each elevator has a total of nineteen buttons indicating the floor, respectively, 1, -1, -2-16, -17, -19. Only there is no -18, the guests all say that -19 means the eighteenth floor, because the eighteenth layer of hell is a bit cautious, so 19 is used instead of 18, but since it is so superstitious, why is the bar called Hell Gate?

What's even stranger is that the entrance to the staircase of the bar is locked all the time!

The stalkers arranged by Nie Kang also arranged for a brother who had been imprisoned for peeping/voyeurism to check every move of the pipeline up close, and the brother walked into the elevator with the pipeline, and the pipeline first asked him which floor he was going to, and the brother said that he hadn't thought about it yet, so let him go first.

Then the pipeline went to the seventeenth floor, and in order to avoid suspicion of the pipeline, the brother took the elevator to stop on a certain floor, and then started the elevator to go up to the first floor. After he came out, two more brothers went in, went to the seventeenth floor, and went around a long circle while playing, but they didn't find any shadow of the pipe.

Wei Kang listened to the report of Nie Kang's subordinates, and was also impressed by the careful behavior of the spy, and also sighed at the wit of the voyeur.

"The Hellgate Bar is so big, it's probably their hiding place, why don't I go and have a look?" Wei Kang volunteered, seeing that he had a little eyebrows, in order to calm things down, Wei Kang was also eager to find out.

Nie Kang was a little worried, "You were the target of their killing, maybe they already knew what you looked like, it would be more dangerous to go to their stronghold, I think it's better to follow them for a while!" ”

Wei Kang doesn't think so, he thinks that it is not a way to keep following, the other party is a spy, and the anti-tracking ability is first-class, if it continues like this for a long time, maybe we will find out that we are tracking, and when the time comes, it will be even more difficult to investigate. With this point of view, Wei Kang advised Nie Kang.

Nie Kang suddenly slapped the case, "What you said is that the longer the time, the more passive we are, hey!" It's been too long, and the murderous aura of the year has been ground into erosion! I forgot the principle of making the first move, and dare not make a bet! ”

"Bet?" Wei Kang was puzzled.

"Either you succeed or you lose all your efforts!" Nie Kang said, "Man! If you're not afraid to play big, you're afraid that you can't afford to lose! As he spoke, he took out a butterfly knife from his pocket, and with a vigorous flick, he actually inserted it into the marble table!

After listening to Nie Kang's words, Wei Kang's blood was in his head, yes, he has been depressed for a long time, and if he continues to be so lifeless, the road ahead will only get darker and darker, and the enemy will only become more and more rampant.

"It's either you don't play! Play big if you want to! As he spoke, Wei Kang also took out a butterfly sling, flicked it, ding! Bounced off by a marble table.

What a shame! Wei Kang was secretly unhappy.

Nie Kang put his hand on Wei Kang's shoulder, "You have to think clearly, if we can't find anything, it will be a complete startling of the snake, and we will have to start all over again." ”

"Don't be afraid!" Wei Kang patted his chest: "Teacher Liu Huan has sung, if your heart is there!" The dream is there! There is still true love between heaven and earth! True love? It's not quite the right time! I don't think that was the word......"

"It's the next sentence!" Nie Kang reminded.

"Yes, yes, yes! Look at the success or failure! Life is heroic! It's just starting all over again! ”

……

Three days later, at seven o'clock in the afternoon, Nie Kang received another call from his subordinates, saying that the pipeline had taken the same route to the Hell Gate Bar again.

And Wei Kang, Nie Kang, and Guo Jian, who had already rented a hotel near Hell Gate, heard the news and immediately left the hotel and drove a van straight to the Hell Gate Bar.

Guo Jian drove, and Nie Kang took out a fluffy little white rabbit hat and buttoned it on his head to hide his conspicuous white hair.

Looking at the little white rabbit on Nie Kang's head, Wei Kang wanted to laugh, he forced himself not to smile, but his stomach couldn't help but tremble.

"Isn't it funny?" Nie Kang asked.

Wei Kang didn't dare to answer, because he would laugh when he did.

"Hahaha! Of course! Hahahaha! Laughing to death! Guo Jian, who was driving, suddenly burst out laughing.

Nie Kang's face was embarrassed.

The upper floor of the Hell Gate Bar is a traditional bar layout, and the downstairs is a variety of entertainment venues.

According to the informant, there are about fifteen minutes before the pipeline arrives at the bar, and the three of Wei Kang decided to take the elevator to the underground first, this kind of place, Nie Kang has already been here, and he has no interest in going again, so he drinks alone in the bar on the first floor, after all, there may be a big battle in a while, and he doesn't dare to drink and make mistakes.

Wei Kang and Guo Jian entered the elevator, and the deeper they went underground, the more curious they became, so Wei Kang directly pressed the nineteenth floor.

"Hehehehe, what a freak, it's clearly called Hell Gate, but it doesn't set the button on the eighteenth floor, and takes 19 instead of 18, deceiving yourself!" Guo Jian said with a smile.

The elevator descended slowly, maybe it was still early, no one entered the elevator halfway, and in this way, the elevator went straight from the 1st floor to the -19th floor. Looking at the elevator indicator light that changed from 1 to -19, Wei Kang suddenly frowned, "Something is wrong!" Saying that, he pressed to the 1st floor again, the elevator went up, and when he reached the first floor, he closed the door again, and then pressed the -19th floor.

Guo Jian didn't pay attention just now and asked, "What's wrong?!" ”

Wei Kang pointed to the floor indicator light on the right, "Look carefully, the numbers on it, every time you jump from this number to the next number, it takes about a second, but when it comes to switching between -17 and -19, it seems to take two seconds!" ”

"There's such a thing!?" Guo Jian also concentrated, staring at the changes in the numbers above-

15,-16,-17,-19……

"Sure enough!" Guo Jian exclaimed, and asked Wei Kang instead, "Do you have any opinions?" ”

Wei Kang closed the door again, pressed the next floor, then glanced at the indicator light, pointed to the floor buttons, and said, "I finally know why the entrance to the stairs is locked!"

"Why!?" Guo Jian was puzzled.

Wei Kang said slowly: "On the surface, there are eighteen floors in the basement of the bar, and for the sake of auspiciousness, -19 is used instead of -18 on the elevator button, that is, there is no zài on the nineteenth floor." But the reality is that the nineteenth floor has always been zài! Now that there are nineteen floors ......"

Wei Kang paused again, and said word by word, "In other words, the eighteenth also exists!" It was just leaked by the elevator! The reason why the elevator takes half the time to switch between -17 and -19 is half as slow as the other numbers is because there is a -18th floor in the middle, which extends the time the elevator travels! The entrance to the staircase of the bar was locked because it was not wanted people to go down and find the storage zài on the 18th floor! ”

Guo Jian suddenly realized, "I can't imagine that a bar that has been poking here for more than ten years has such a shocking secret, boy, you are more suitable than me to be a policeman!" ”

"Hehehehe...... I'm also guessing, maybe, the 18th floor is just someone's power distribution room......"

"I'm down!"

Bite! The elevator stopped on the first floor, and Wei Kang and Guo Jian walked out solemnly. Guo Jian went to report his new discoveries to Nie Kang, while Wei Kang stood under the crystal lamp that flashed with red and green light alternately, testing his ability to flash into the future.

According to Ye Tian's prompt at that time: the light with a lower frequency can strengthen his ability to see the past, and the red light has a low frequency, according to Ye Tian's theory, it should be that the red light can strengthen his ability more.

Wei Kang tried to see the future through the light, and as soon as he exerted his strength, the dizziness suddenly went up, only to see that with the red and green lights, the scene in front of him was also flashing, in time, sometimes forward, sometimes backward.

But he did get the real result, and Ye Tian just wanted the opposite result: the low-frequency red light weakened Weikang's ability, and he only saw the future after a few tenths of a second, while the slightly higher frequency green light made his ability greatly increased, and he actually saw the future for about thirty seconds!

The visible light with high frequency is: purple, blue, green, purple light has the strongest frequency, red light is the weakest, Weikang had bought two extreme colors of sunglasses in advance: purple and red, he put his hand in his pocket, took out purple sunglasses and put them on.

Wei Kang has already thought of a plan: after the pipeline enters the bar, he will approach the elevator with him, of course, the pipeline will definitely not let Wei Kang know which floor he is going to, at this time, Wei Kang will use the future flash ability, to see where the pipeline is about to go, if there is a problem with the pipeline, should find a way to open the switch on the eighteenth floor!

Wei Kang's mobile phone vibrate, and when he took it out, he saw that it was Nie Kang calling.

Nie Kang told him that the pipeline was about to go to the bar.

Wei Kang hurriedly went to the door of the bar to wander around, for the pipeline, he had seen it from the monitoring room, and after a few minutes, a slender and white young man walked towards the door of the bar, it was the pipeline.

Wei Kang took out his mobile phone, pretended to be on the phone, and followed when the pipeline passed by.

The pipeline approached an elevator in front of the inside, and Wei Kang followed.

The elevator door opened, and Wei Kang pretended to say to the mobile phone: "The elevator signal is not good, I'll call you later, little smash!" ”

Weikang followed the pipeline into the elevator, and sure enough, it was the same as when others followed, and the pipeline first asked Weikang which floor to go to.

Wei Kang directly said a second layer! Because he wants to see the future, he is not sure how long he can see the future after the purple sunglasses, the sooner he goes out, the first time the pipeline can open the eighteenth floor! The more likely he is to see.

The pipe pressed the button on the second floor......

Wei Kang stared at his phone, pretending to send a text message, his eyes glancing at the location of the elevator button from time to time. Suddenly, there was a secret laugh in my heart! I see!
